For the BBC, she presents a range of shows, including live Women's Super League, the Women’s Football Show and Final Score.

Kelly is, by her own admission, a football and FPL obsessive - and says the only deadline she has ever missed is following the early birth of her daughter last season! She’s just about forgiven her now - especially as, despite the lack of sleep, she still made the top 100k last season. Her highest finish is inside the top 40k and this season she hopes to beat that, or if not - just beat Juls!

He is a keen FPL manager who likes to get ahead of the curve by spotting high-performing differentials. Arsenal fan Juls always needs his boy William Saliba and all Paris born and bred players!
Juls watches every minute of football possible to make the most informed Fantasy decisions and help the FPL Pod listeners with their weekly dilemmas. The 2023/24 season saw Juls register his highest ever FPL finish, inside the top 5k!
