Kelly Somers and the team start to look ahead to Blank Gameweek 29 in Fantasy Premier League and discuss how to make the most out of the Assistant Manager chip.
They chat through letting Liverpool assets go, possibly selling Cole Palmer (£11.2m) and whether Morgan Rogers (£5.7m) is still great value for money.

Podcast presenters
Kelly Somers
Kelly is a presenter and reporter who is a regular face across the Premier League and BBC’s output. For the BBC, she presents a range of shows, including live Women's Super League, the Women’s Football Show and Final Score. She is also their main reporter - having reported at their first ever Premier League live game in 2020, going on to become their England reporter at the last three major tournaments, also assuming the role for Channel 4.
She also presents for Premier League rights holders Optus Sport, having travelled to Australia to front the Women’s World Cup in 2023, and also leads coverage for BBC Radio 5 Live and Amazon Prime.
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!
