Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! Join Andy & Chris for their series of season preview podcasts, the FPL Lounge Long Weekend. In the third of four episodes ahead of the 2022/23 season, they focus on midfielders.

With KDB fit for the start of the season and Son's form and price rice cementing him in the premium category the lads discuss who in that price bracket is worth the heft investment. The discussion on the defenders episode means there's probably less money around for midfielders and so the lads compare the broad selection of 8.0m options, alongside a range of cheaper alternatives including a nailed on starter playing in the hole at 4.5m.

The episode for Forwards will be released tomorrow, ahead of the flagship GW1 Preview next week, and you can still listen to the Strategy + Keepers episode, and the Defenders one to get all the info you need ahead of the deadline. Don't forget to follow the lads on twitter and instagram @FPL_Lounge, subscribe to the show and if you're feeling extra kind, leave us a review with your podcast provider!
