Welcome back to the FPL Lounge! Join Andy & Chris for their series of season preview podcasts, the FPL Lounge Long Weekend. In this third episode of four ahead of the 2023/24 season, they'll be looking at Midfielders. 

With only four 'premium' midfielders in the game this year, can managers survive without? Is Salah worth his price tag? Can Son rediscover his 2021/22 form? The lads try to answer all these questions.

There are a number of mid-priced options from £6.5-8.5m that could be worth consideration, although many of the big names feel like more of a 'wait and see' to Andy & Chris. There's a similar feel to the budget options, with a few £4,5m shouts potentially worth a gamble ahead of GW1.

The final Long Weekend episode will be released on Monday, ahead of the flagship GW1 Preview later this week. Don't forget to follow the lads on twitter and instagram @FPL_Lounge.
