Kelly Somers is a broadcast presenter and reporter who regularly presents a range of shows across the BBC including live Women's Super League, the Women’s Football Show and Final Score.
She is also BBC's men's England football reporter, having been embedded in the Three Lions squad during their run to the UEFA Euro 2020 final, and has recently been an integral part of the presenting team for UEFA Women's Euro 2022.
In addition, Kelly is Channel 4's England reporter, while she presents on BBC Radio 5Live and Amazon Prime, and includes Just Eat, the PFA and Barclays among her corporate clients.
She is, by her own admission, a football and Fantasy Premier League obsessive (who finished in the top 40k last season) and has hosted FPL content for the last six seasons.
Sam is an experienced FPL pundit and one half of the popular YouTube channel the FPL Family with husband Lee.
In her 12 FPL seasons Sam has developed a keen eye for spotting differentials. However, she prefers making sensible decisions supported by underlying stats and the eye test wherever possible, to help her find those all-important green arrows.
Lee is half of the FPL Family with wife Sam. He has played FPL for over 10 years and has a best rank of 1.7k. He loves that the popularity of the game is growing and this is making it more and more of a challenge each year. A Liverpool supporter, Lee sometime can’t help that Mo Salah captaincy bias! He likes to primarily watch the games and play FPL based on the "eye test", rather than go deeply into the stats. Although, in the last couple of seasons, his passion for a good ICT Index or xG stat has enhanced his love of the game.
Julien is a French football journalist based in London, reporting on the Premier League for RMC Sport, BT Sport, BBC Radio 5Live and ESPN.
He is a keen FPL player who likes to get ahead of the curve by spotting high-performing differentials, with Raphinha and Aaron Ramsdale just two examples of his shrewd early tips over the course of the last two seasons.
