Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! Join Andy & Chris for their series of season preview podcasts, the FPL Lounge Long Weekend. In this third of four episodes ahead of the 2024/25 season, they analyse the Midfielders to strongly consider ahead of GW1. As with the all the Long Weekend episodes, the pod is split into three price categories, with the lads assessing the merits of premium assets, middle-ground assets and budget enablers. In this midfielders episode, they look at the FPL's big-hitting premium options, including those with significant price rises, some mid-range midfielders with some bounceback potential, and some cheaper enablers that have impressed in pre-season. The final episode for Forwards will be released tomorrow, ahead of their flagship GW1 Preview next week. Don't forget to follow the lads on X, instagram and threads @FPL_Lounge and subscribe to the show to ensure you have new episodes before the gameweek deadline!
