0:00
Hi hey everyone, welcome to Draft Offsides episode number
0:05
and what's the episode? 120. 120 episode number 120.
0:11
Today we have myself, the defending champion as your host
0:15
and accompanied by Enzo Keith, will be out of for a week or
0:20
two. A week or two, maybe.
0:22
Maybe more. We'll see.
0:24
Hey, you might never come back. You might do amazing numbers.
0:29
I know. Let's see, let's see, let's see.
0:30
I'm excited. I'm excited.
0:32
No more being, no more being told we can't say this, and no
0:36
more being ignored. When you make a comment, there's
0:38
going to be everything we want to hear.
0:41
Make sure to follow us on TikTok X Yeah, I mean, we're not active
0:46
on Instagram, but we have it. And if you're listening to this
0:49
and you don't follow it, something terrible will happen
0:51
to you. Something very, very bad will
0:53
happen to you. Oh.
0:55
I don't know if I like that one, man.
0:57
All right, all right, let's go. Keep it going.
1:00
All right, what a game week. Yeah, pretty good.
1:05
I got one win and one loss even if I and I didn't start
1:08
somebody, but even if I did, I still would have lost
1:10
unfortunately. I went a big on to I lost to the
1:14
Judas friends. Who the Judas guys?
1:18
The two that betrayed us, Keith and Nate.
1:22
Oh, you lost the boat for them. Not in the same league,
1:26
obviously. Definitely, obviously.
1:27
But I'm not going to lie to you. I am happy that Nate beat you so
1:32
that I can be joint fast in that league and I lost to the leader
1:38
of the the Sith in our other league.
1:41
That'll be Thomas. That leaves a foregone
1:43
conclusion that feels going to can't believe he's going to.
1:45
We're going to have a two time champion, all right.
1:48
Is there any bad words you want to get out of the way?
1:50
Get out of her system. Not really them we got what new
1:57
Manchester United manager they got their first win against man
2:00
see, I think Keith called it last week like may not call this
2:03
bad and then they BC let's. We should be going to some game
2:10
notes. Is there any stuff we want to
2:11
talk about? It was just the Manchester
2:15
United, Keith being right about that.
2:17
I'm also dropping points, but everybody else dropping points
2:19
this weekend. So I'm a little bit worried that
2:22
also might crumble a little bit but everyone else is playing so
2:25
shit. That's what I'm worried about.
2:29
Lester year vibes. One big note we got to transfer.
2:33
Who? Way.
2:35
Oh yeah, to man. City nothing tells you you need
2:38
to buy Defender then losing 20 to Manchester United.
2:40
Let that if you list 20 to Man United, you go get yourself a
2:44
defender. That's true.
2:45
I sent you guys that stat. I don't know if you saw it.
2:48
Man City have spent more in the Pep guarded Pep era than Bayern
2:52
Munich have spent in their entirety.
2:55
Really. I know that they just said that
2:57
because remember at the beginning of the season he said
2:59
he wanted a smaller, smaller squad and if he doesn't, he's
3:02
going to be pissed off. But then all of a sudden he
3:04
spent over 500 million and he's got a brand new 11 if you want
3:07
it. Hey Simenu.
3:10
Crazy. All right.
3:11
So getting to that game, United City, obviously all of us were
3:15
surprised. Keith called that.
3:16
He said these are one of the games that United surprises
3:19
everyone and they end up winning.
3:21
We got a Dalo got a goal right. No Dala.
3:25
Goal. Got it.
3:26
Dalo goal. Dalo in my opinion sure got
3:29
recorded early when it was new. Nil.
3:31
Got it. And that's what I saw.
3:34
Yeah, obviously United got the reinforcements, they got their
3:36
Afghan boys back with Ambuimo, who scored, and Diallo, Diallo
3:42
who got the start and they played the 433.
3:46
And you watched the game. How did it look?
3:49
You know, it's gone. Man United looked really good, a
3:51
little like a completely different Man United team.
3:53
And I think that's, you know, because now they're a little bit
3:55
more free throwing. Fernandez played in the tent.
3:58
I think Keith called that, too. He's going to play in the tent
4:01
and they played really well. Good flowing football, very
4:03
attacking. I just think City looked flat.
4:05
That's what it really looked like.
4:06
And honestly, if May and either got a man down, C would have
4:11
either stole it or it would have been a nil, nil draw in my
4:13
opinion. Because after that, I don't
4:14
think they have had much going for him because Dallow cleared
4:17
the ball off the line, saved it from going one nil down.
4:21
That would have been a goal for City and etcetera, etcetera.
4:24
But yeah, not bad. Bancy bounce back maybe is it
4:27
the first game back with a brand new manager?
4:28
I think so. So we'll see if that form can
4:31
continue, but I doubt it. Some other notes from the game.
4:35
Want to go over with Erling Holland?
4:38
That's another game. No goal.
4:40
So he he only has one goal in the last five.
4:43
Five games. The back for that city used was
4:46
I think the first one they played this year, Arke Ali, Nae
4:50
Kusanov and Lewis thing made a appearance, which is good for
4:55
Ryan Atori owners who kind of held on terms throughout this
4:59
whole time. And the other thing is Simenyo
5:01
got the start, so and he played the whole 90 from the attacking
5:04
players, he's the only one who played the whole 90.
5:06
Rodriguez again played as well, but I think the biggest thought
5:09
on that is Simenyo getting the start and playing the whole 90.
5:13
And then the other thing on the United side I would say is Kobe,
5:16
Maine. You got the start and the new
5:17
manager might like him. That's something to keep an eye
5:20
on as well. Historically hasn't been a
5:22
producer of points. But he's a workhorse.
5:26
Yeah, he might get some of those points.
5:29
All right, so let's get to the next game.
5:31
Chelsea 2, Brentford 0. This might be the shortest
5:35
Chelsea segment we've had since we started.
5:38
All right, that's as far as let's move on to the next game.
5:41
Leeds 1, Fulham 0. New guy score.
5:44
I think he's scored late and met and met and met Cha.
5:49
And met Cha. We thought this was going to be
5:52
a point fest. Obviously not too much in this
5:55
game. Brand new guy.
5:56
I wouldn't put too much in it. I think he's like 3% owner.
5:59
I wouldn't even jump for this guy.
6:01
Wilson still had a decent game. I think he scored eight points.
6:04
Kevin didn't start. He came on with like 22 minutes
6:07
and he scored .5. Now you've got to think about
6:09
Fulham 2 with their AFCON players coming back with Iwobi,
6:14
Chuck Weazy. So they're going to fill up some
6:19
some minutes. The surprise start for me on
6:21
this one was Emil Smith Roe favorite of the podcast from a
6:24
year ago. But we don't talk about him.
6:26
We don't care about him. So that's another one.
6:28
But we did talk about Wilson. Maybe his value might drop a
6:32
little bit. We talked about selling high,
6:33
but that's what it is. And then on the lead side,
6:36
Calvin Loon didn't score surprise surprise.
6:38
Like it's more surprising for when he does a score compared to
6:41
Allah and. No.
6:43
No goal involvement, not even an assist.
6:45
Yeah, yeah, All right, let's move on to the next game.
6:48
Liverpool won, Brian Lee won words goal 25 points, 16 goals,
6:54
which is amazing. Edwards goal and then cricket 17
6:57
points back-to-back double digit.
6:59
And is is this his revival? We we were really down on him.
7:03
We were high on him in the beginning of the season thinking
7:05
he was going to do great things and then he sort of peered off
7:08
and couldn't seem to get with this, this team and do what they
7:11
needed. But 2 double digit games in a
7:13
row for Carcass, I don't think there's any cold fall moves if I
7:17
didn't see that right. But that's that's and no clean
7:21
sheet points. So he's getting this focused.
7:24
And I think it looks like Words was playing on the right side.
7:26
I watched the highlights of this game, which there's someone by
7:29
the name of Masala is coming back, so obviously the window's
7:33
not closed. Something to keep an eye out for
7:35
a bit. Words has been amazing.
7:37
The last what is it? The last month and a half?
7:40
Two months? 1015 games at least like decent
7:44
points. If not, he's ranked.
7:47
Yeah, he's ranked 46th overall and this is the player where
7:49
like earlier in the year we're talking about do you stardom or
7:52
do you bench my your team. So a complete turn around.
7:54
This is the player that Keith was very high on.
7:57
Keith said he's going to have first round value.
8:00
This is the player that we thought he was going to be where
8:01
his floor should be at 10 points and the stealing is obviously
8:05
you know, when he scores 20 plus points.
8:07
And look, Salah was getting benched before he went to AFCON.
8:09
You think he gets slid slid right back in?
8:12
I don't think so. The one thing I would say is
8:14
this is a game they should have won because if you're most solid
8:16
coming back, you're like, hey, yes, tied Brilly.
8:19
You know, yeah, that that's Sasso or something too.
8:21
Like they were doing so well about Sal and as he's coming
8:23
back, they they tied up currently of all teams and they
8:26
drop points. They've been dropping a lot of
8:29
points. Yeah, it's not the Liverpool of
8:31
last year. The next game, Sunderland 2,
8:34
Palace 1, Lefi goal 15.25 points.
8:38
Brabi scores again, Pino bags a goal 16.25 points and Mukili
8:43
assists with 22.5 points. A lot of points to be had on
8:47
this matchup. Anything stood out for you?
8:52
No que he means palace lose 21. Also I think there's rumors of
8:58
Matata from Palace leaving Also in January Yaron Pino is playing
9:04
better. He's going to have to step up.
9:05
I don't know who they can pick up right now from Palace.
9:08
It just seems like they're losing.
9:10
I do believe the manager was talking a lot of shit after the
9:13
game, talking about how they lost so many pieces and how he
9:16
doesn't feel supported. So it doesn't look good for
9:19
Palace to end this season. It and it's a manager who did
9:22
not sign the contract, who's a highly talented manager,
9:26
especially in the Premiership. And also the way they let go of
9:28
the players literally game before, which kind of kind of, I
9:32
mean obviously no support there. It's such a fucked up way of
9:35
doing business. It is.
9:37
The palace defenders were like a goldmine.
9:41
If you had two of them, three of them, you, you could like write
9:43
them. They didn't have to worry about
9:44
that. But Muniz is still injured and
9:46
out, GUI is still gone. And you also start to question,
9:51
obviously with Kuwait not being there, everyone else loses value
9:53
because it was kind of a unit kind of thing.
9:55
And we know how defense works. So it'd be, it'd be pretty
9:59
interesting to see how that goes.
10:00
I don't know how I don't get me wrong, I think you're completely
10:04
agree that the defenders on palace or a gold wine.
10:07
I don't sure how much of Gwaii leaving is going to hurt them as
10:12
much because they're all busy defenders.
10:14
I think Riches will still be want to do, Lacroix will still
10:17
be a very good one to have. Do I think they're going to let
10:21
in more goals? Maybe.
10:22
So they might leave. That way, yeah.
10:25
But they were having me getting too many clean sheets over the
10:27
last five games. If I remember afraid they they
10:30
had a bad run. But they're busy.
10:32
So I still think don't just, you know, pump the brakes, have a
10:36
look real quick. I think the Palace Avengers are
10:38
still going to be good going forward.
10:40
I think so too. I think the biggest key is the
10:42
cliche points. Obviously, if you let in more
10:44
than one goal, that's -2 and they're also going to get
10:47
healthy as well with Muni's coming back.
10:49
That's a huge thing for them as well.
10:51
Yeah. All right.
10:52
Next game, do you want to talk about that?
10:54
Spurs 1 W Time 2. I watched this game in depth, we
11:00
looked really good for like 30-30 minutes and then turn it
11:05
to Spurs. I've got some.
11:09
I've got some really good points here.
11:10
Poro's assists got 25 points, really good, no clinching
11:13
points. No one has crossed more balls
11:15
into the box this season than Pedro Poro.
11:19
So you think he had a ton of assists?
11:22
He's ought to. It's just they reached the
11:25
player and they just don't score.
11:27
Yeah. So they're not scoring.
11:28
Got it. All right.
11:30
Horrible. Maybe they should change that
11:32
strategy. Well, maybe.
11:34
Well, Salanki's back, so we'll see what happens.
11:37
We'll see. We'll see.
11:38
Look, we've got the most, Thomas got the most injuries, most days
11:42
of injuries than any other team in the league.
11:43
I'm just saying, yeah, yeah, I know, I suppose violin.
11:46
But you got to think about the players that we're at you got,
11:48
and once they come back, we should be right next season.
11:50
All right, all right. What else do we have here?
11:54
Romero goal 24 point to five points.
11:56
It's it's crazy. He was on the waiver wire.
11:58
I feel like Romero should be very high.
12:02
I, I, that was probably last season.
12:04
This season he's not as consistent.
12:05
Like he's still scoring a couple of goals here and there, but
12:08
it's not like he's busy. It's Van der Ven who's been
12:10
busy, but even him doesn't score that many good points.
12:12
But for Ramiro, I think it's more like 20 points, 3320
12:15
points, which obviously it's kind of frustrating.
12:19
Somerville goals starting to pick up from form 21 to 25
12:23
points. What is?
12:24
What's that 21 to 25? Points.
12:26
Yeah, 21 points and 25 points in the last couple of games.
12:29
Got it. He's been.
12:30
Doing well. I think Keith also, I keep
12:33
mentioning Keith start missing. He mentioned him last game that
12:37
Simonville was starting to pick up and we'll see like he got a
12:41
goal this one and he looked pretty good.
12:43
But Saka, this is the real one. I want to talk about 19.75
12:46
points or talk about him and waivers.
12:47
It's all goals points. Didn't get a goal, didn't get an
12:50
assist, didn't get clean machine points, but he got 19.75 and
12:54
when you look at his form before this, it's pretty bloody good
12:57
and he's not really he's not owned more than 50%.
13:00
We'll see in the waivers. Wilson scored a goal in the very
13:03
last minute. Ridiculous.
13:05
Got the win against Tottenham, but he's also a January transfer
13:08
window so I don't know where he's going or if they'll keep
13:11
him or not. Then what did West Ham was West
13:14
Ham was the one that bought the strikers right?
13:16
Or was it someone else? No idea it was about a player
13:19
but it's just some young person. I mean, this is the beginning of
13:22
the post Lucas Pocket era and you know they're after a great
13:26
start. I wonder if Lucas if I get to
13:28
put a bet on them or not. But I mean, even when you look
13:31
at the worst time, I mean, I'm not shitting on you because you
13:34
know it's you and I also enjoy it and also happen to be very
13:38
good at it. But I'm looking at this
13:40
defensive back four. Besides one Bisaka, I don't know
13:43
any of these people. What the hell, Killman?
13:46
Killman didn't play. OK, who?
13:48
Who was it? Jean Claire Todibo, I think we
13:53
had him on the waivers. And he was on, I think he was
13:55
on. Chelsea loss 1/2 season ago.
13:57
Constantinos mavro banos. We know he was there last
14:01
season. Dre, But have you?
14:03
Have they been playing? That's my thing.
14:05
And then someone by the name of Olive Oliver Scarles.
14:08
Don't know that guy. Yeah.
14:10
How did how did they do? Let's see.
14:12
Oliver Scarles 7.75 points. So yeah, last game hit eight
14:18
points, might should have him on a waiver, but yeah, so obviously
14:25
like we talked about like it's embarrassing to lose to that
14:28
team at home. Don't look it on a bright note,
14:32
positive side for Tottenham, Chavi, Javi, Siemens, he played,
14:35
he's been playing well. I think he had 10.9 points 8.
14:39
.59 points 9. Points.
14:41
Yeah, that's 92 games in North with 9 points.
14:45
Connor Gallagher got the start on 88 points.
14:47
With he looked good man. If you got him on waivers, I
14:51
think you might be good. Keith had 17, Fab.
14:54
Guess how much I bet for him? 18.
14:56
Yeah, Suck it, Keith. Very nice.
15:01
Yeah. And then I I I don't know if you
15:03
saw this, what's going on with Matt this tell because he was
15:06
not picked up for the Champions League squad.
15:08
I don't know if you saw that or not.
15:09
Yeah, put him Solanke in this place.
15:11
So is he on his way out? Or no, it was just so.
15:15
It was just because Solanke in there.
15:16
Got it, we think. We needed a forward and he
15:19
honestly tell hasn't really done much as he so.
15:21
And that Salaki made his return play 27 minutes, 4 1/2 points.
15:26
That's 222 games off the bench, so just ease them in.
15:30
First one in the premier, the other one was in the Carabao.
15:34
Whatever it is, yeah, irrelevant.
15:36
And then the other one is who was it?
15:39
Was it Spence that broke his leg?
15:40
He was carted off. No, that was Davies.
15:44
Davis. Is but we but we just bought a
15:45
left Brazilian left back, so we should be all right.
15:48
OK, you guys always have the wrong Brazilian players.
15:54
Yeah, Emerson Royale. Wrong.
15:56
Richard Lison. Richard Lison wrong.
15:59
I mean Lucas Mora for like. One run.
16:02
Lucas Moore wasn't wrong. Lucas No For.
16:04
For one run for the Champions League, Yeah, You know, I'm
16:07
still saying it. If they they should have started
16:09
him over Hurricane in the finals.
16:10
Oh, in the final. Yeah, for sure, I said the same
16:12
thing. Let's get sidetracked.
16:15
Look at Lucas tomorrow, man. What his before he came to
16:19
Europe, when he was still in Brazil, looking at his
16:21
highlights, I don't know if you've seen it.
16:22
The speed, the power of such an amazing player.
16:25
When I found out he went to freaking PSG, I was so upset,
16:29
man. I was so because that's when PSG
16:33
would just buy players and there was oh.
16:34
That's right. That's right.
16:35
Like this is not on the air. I was like, dude, like go to go
16:38
to Europe. But he did well, he didn't do
16:40
bad at PSG, he just didn't get enough game time.
16:42
That was it. But like what's doing bad at
16:45
PSG? What's doing bad at PSG?
16:47
Sitting on the bench for half a season, yeah.
16:50
But I'm just saying like you don't really get any like
16:52
competition there. Like you don't.
16:54
Get any experience? Yeah, OK.
16:55
Yeah, OK. What other sort of Brazilian
16:58
have you guys had? Trying to think, I think that
17:00
might be it for recently. Yeah, I think that might be it
17:03
for recently. Paulino.
17:06
Paulino was sick. Senate midfielder defensive.
17:09
Emerson Royale. I said him.
17:11
Yeah, yeah. Sandra Oh I.
17:14
Forgot that Sandra Sandra is AG man.
17:16
Gilberto, yeah. That's right.
17:19
Yeah. All right.
17:20
All right. Moving on.
17:23
Frank Thomas fired. You know what?
17:25
You know what I've heard that that causes a lack of managers
17:30
free right now. They they're not willing to fire
17:32
him yet. What if I mean if that was in
17:35
the Champions League? Well, look, we've only got
17:39
Champions League in the league now.
17:40
So what would you think if, if, if Tottenham won the Champions
17:44
League, which I don't think they will just, I just want maybe,
17:46
yeah, yeah, but what if they did?
17:49
Because if Arsenal, if Arsenal win the league and Tottenham
17:52
wins Champions League, that'll just ruin it for Arsenal
17:55
completely. Would I ruin it for Tottenham?
17:58
What if because Arsenal won the league?
17:59
No, because we won champions. League.
18:02
So you guys value Champions League more in England because
18:05
because English teams don't really want the Champions League
18:07
that often? Well, you got to remember it's
18:09
the league always comes first, but Champions League would kill
18:12
Arsenal because they'd never won it and for their rival to win it
18:16
would piss them off. No, the ideal that would that
18:19
would actually do I want to see you happy.
18:21
That's the thing I really. Don't think you do.
18:24
It would be, but it'd be amazing if you guys like finished like
18:26
16 when the Champions League and then fire Frank Thomas.
18:33
It's Thomas, Frank. Don't say it.
18:34
Frank Thomas. Whatever man you have, if you
18:37
have two first names, I don't. I don't care what the order I'm
18:39
calling you in, Bobby, Ricky, you know?
18:43
Oscar, Bob. Bob, Bob, Oscar.
18:46
All right. No no that's probably 2 BS Come
18:48
on respect the man. He's not a two first name
18:50
person. All right, let's go to the next
18:53
game. Ridiculous.
18:53
We're all fucking Sajan here. Forest versus Arsenal 00.
18:59
Yeah. That's another embarrassing
19:02
loss, whereas for 17 you can't score a goal, but it which has
19:05
been the story of Arsenal the last, I don't know how many
19:08
matches we talked about this, their problem is scoring goals.
19:11
And Rice was, I think you, you said like they don't score
19:16
goals, but I think what you said before is that there's so many
19:18
own goals in there and most of their goals aren't from open
19:21
blade. That's the problem.
19:24
They they hired a throwing specialist.
19:25
I don't know if you saw that which I actually like that the
19:30
long throw in his back. So that's.
19:31
Yeah, I like it too. I do like it.
19:34
It's like a corner. Why would you go away with it,
19:36
you know? No, I hear you.
19:37
No. And you're putting a ball into
19:38
the box into a dangerous age, right?
19:39
There you go. I like it too.
19:40
Fucking love it. Another tangent.
19:42
The other thing I don't like is now when let's say someone's
19:45
defending, even their striker comes all the way back, which
19:47
makes their center back come on the other side.
19:49
Yeah, and that's how City gave up the goal on the counter
19:51
attack. You know, you know what I hate?
19:54
I hate short corners when they don't pop cross the ball into
19:57
the box. Yeah, they pass it all the way
19:59
out. I fucking hate that show.
20:01
Just put it in the box man. It's not that hard.
20:03
No. Ben White got the start for
20:07
Arsenal and got 13.5 points because California is injured.
20:11
But if you have California like I do, might want to put some 5
20:14
on Ben White. Hold on to him because he did.
20:16
He did start the year as a starting right back for Arsenal.
20:19
Let's Yeah. We did.
20:21
Saka came off the bench 13 points.
20:25
Again bro, look off the bench. 13 points, That's fucking nuts.
20:28
And then he played only, what, 32 minutes?
20:30
And he tore them up. Did you?
20:32
Did you watch his I? Watched the highlights, yeah?
20:34
He fucking tore them up. And then who was the who's the
20:39
the the Dutch guy on the left? Oh my God, the left forward, the
20:43
left wing. Trusod.
20:45
Yes, Trusod also didn't get the start.
20:48
I think it was a situation where they thought hates forests, we
20:51
could afford to go with our B team, which again, insane depth
20:54
by for Arsenal because there's Champions League and that kind
20:57
of backfired. And this is like the game you
20:59
need to win. And I think that Sunrise was
21:02
caught saying like expressing frustration how it's happening
21:05
over and over again. So it comes to the point where
21:07
like hey, if your Arsenal not able to score goals, like you
21:10
should be playing all of your best players the other.
21:15
As a on the bench again. Go Chris again.
21:19
Didn't do. He had he had a one-on-one brav
21:23
and he should have put it away. Have you seen all those things
21:26
that saying that, oh, he had -1 point, go Chris -1 point makes
21:30
me happy. Good job, Sergei.
21:32
First time pay or Oh my God, let's can we go through his game
21:35
log? Yeah, let's go for his game log.
21:37
All right, so against forest -1 point against Liverpool, 1.5
21:43
point, against Bournemouth, one point, against Villa, one point.
21:46
He is consistent. He is consistent.
21:49
I agree with you there, he is very consistently shit.
21:52
And then Barbara 3.75 against everything he scored 11 1/2
21:57
points. Nice, nice.
21:58
Before that .5. Before that, 0.25.
22:02
This guy's garbage man. He's garbage.
22:04
And didn't Sergey say he was going to get 202425 goals this
22:08
season? Yeah, it's I also saw, I think
22:11
it was in the Cup game where him and Saka had like kind of a
22:13
argument or. Oh, because Saka didn't want to
22:16
give him the penalty. And you see when he scored that
22:18
goal, because he got all upset because Saka didn't pass it in.
22:21
Yeah. And then he got a second ball
22:23
in. And then when Saka tried to
22:24
celebrate with him, he pushed him away.
22:26
Get the fuck out of here, bro. You can't do that.
22:27
That's that's the modern day Tyrion Reef for Arsenal.
22:30
You can't fucking do that. Yeah.
22:31
And. And Gilchrist's replacement in
22:34
the Portuguese league is for like 20 plus goals already.
22:37
So it's, you know, get the hell out of here.
22:39
Yeah, get. The fuck out of here.
22:40
Yeah, but it is interesting with what's going on with Arsenal
22:45
because they're not scoring goals, they're.
22:47
Still top. They're still top of the table.
22:49
Obviously you know, you go through those stretches, but
22:52
when you look at it at the same time, city in the last five,
22:55
they've tied 3, lost one and only have one of victory.
22:58
Same thing with Liverpool, has one win, 4 ties in a row.
23:01
So obviously anytime whoever wins the league, there's a lot
23:04
of luck involved. And.
23:06
I think this is Arsenal when they're riding their lucky
23:09
streaks so they need to get their shit together fantasy
23:12
wise. Was there anything else to talk
23:14
about here? Yeah, Declan Rice scored 17
23:16
points. Again, Mr. Consistent, and he's
23:18
better than Val Verde. Yeah, that one, I said.
23:21
Yeah, you. Didn't say that.
23:22
No, when I said that, when you said rice, I said yeah, that's
23:25
rice is one of the ones. OK.
23:27
I'm just making sure. Just want to say that again.
23:28
Yeah. Yeah, but I mean, well, vendor
23:32
is better than Rodri. The fact that you guys said
23:34
Rodri is, dude, Rodri hasn't played a game in over a year.
23:38
Still better than him? He's not Kevin De Brian is
23:41
better than him too. And he's right now, right now,
23:44
right? Now he's better.
23:46
So right now, if you had a game, I would.
23:48
Take KDB over valve Verde any day of the week.
23:52
Today. Any day of the week.
23:54
Well, you're stupid because he's injured.
23:56
He's not even playing. But when he's fit, I take him
23:58
any day of the week. If my grandmother had three
24:01
wheels, then she'd be a tricycle.
24:03
Nailed it. She stumbled a little bit, but
24:06
you did. Yeah.
24:08
All right, but Arsenal dropping points, getting lucky because
24:11
the other team shot points? I hear you.
24:13
How did their defence score 10 and a half 10A.
24:16
Well, they got clean sheep. Clean sheep points, yeah.
24:18
Clean sheep unless you're scoring 20 + a clean sheep
24:21
points. It it, it is interesting to see
24:24
what's going to happen with our the striker situation because we
24:27
talked about how Arteta likes to be stubborn and when it with his
24:30
methods. But Kyle Howard is healthy now.
24:33
Gabriel Jesus is healthy now. And these women get minutes.
24:36
And it's not like both of them are huge upgrades because, you
24:39
know. I think they're upgrade off the
24:41
Ocarus though. But there's also Marino, when
24:44
statistically speaking, there. He's their best striker.
24:47
He's their best striker so. At the moment it's between him
24:50
and Havas, because when Havas was there, he was their top goal
24:53
scorer. Last season he was injured more
24:54
nearly half the season. So yeah, that tells you.
24:57
All right, let's move on. Wolves 0 Newcastle 0 which is
25:01
fucking embarrassing. Thea had 16.25 points.
25:06
Must Keira had 15.75 points. Defenders won in this game.
25:11
Why did Keith disappear? I don't know, but it's fine
25:13
still. I checked to make sure it's
25:14
still recording. It's still.
25:15
Recording all right. Perfect.
25:16
So dude, the defenders scored like crazy in this game if I
25:20
didn't put them all on here, but I think they all scored double
25:23
digits. I think Hugo Bueno scored double
25:27
digits this game. The other Newcastle defenders
25:31
scored double digits. To get it was just because of
25:33
kimchi point. Yeah, Wolves had 123-4567
25:37
players who scored double digits.
25:39
From those seven, it was 5 defenders, one midfielder, 1A
25:43
goalkeeper. So and then for Newcastle, let's
25:45
see if anyone set out Diaz, set out Bruno Gameris 11.25, who's
25:50
been really good, who he's dropped.
25:52
Can't believe you dropped him. I offered him like 25 for.
25:56
Him and he dropped him. Yeah.
25:57
Makes no bloody sense. Steve Botman, Who got Did he get
26:01
the start? Yeah, Fabian Shaw's out for I
26:05
think, I think he said four to six weeks.
26:07
Yeah, man, poor guy. And Livamento's out for another
26:12
4 weeks. So I don't know if you have him
26:15
on the waiver or not for Mr. Botman, but I.
26:18
Didn't implement a waiver. Yeah, so he got the start.
26:21
Let's see if he's rostered only 29%.
26:23
Had 10 point, 510.5 points. Wow.
26:28
Another team who's struggling to score points, struggling to
26:32
score goals this game. Whistler didn't get the start.
26:35
Voltimate got the start and then I score, obviously.
26:39
Whistler came under the score, obviously.
26:41
And then Gordon, who's kind of been disappointing this year.
26:45
Go in the league. Where has he not been
26:47
disappointing? In Europe.
26:49
OK, is this a Europe podcast? Oh wow, we're going to do that.
26:53
Mate, we want to talk about Europe, want to talk about La
26:55
Liga, we'll talk about Real Madrid, we'll talk about Andrea,
26:59
how you got, you know, now we can talk about Leon too, because
27:01
I'm a big Andrea Stan who got the end of the match.
27:04
Did you see that? I saw his highlights.
27:07
That nutmeg, I'm not going to lie, gave me a semi I.
27:12
Was going to say a little bit of a semi.
27:14
Oh, creamed a little bit in my pants.
27:17
A little bit, a little bit. Yeah, it was a little pre.
27:21
Have you seen my shoe size? You know what they say about
27:26
guys with big shoes, right? Big socks?
27:28
Yep. Trippery got the start again.
27:34
I think it's just because of the injuries.
27:36
Your background, yeah. Felt bad for Newcastle man.
27:39
Where are they in the? League Balmod had such a good
27:41
start when he got there and he's just, he just slowly just peered
27:44
out, you know, I mean like, and Langer's like went to Newcastle
27:48
this season as the shell of a player like fantasy wise
27:52
Voldemort. He even got benched by a whist a
27:55
couple of games. So I think they're kind of like
27:58
stirring the pod. See what's the best formula?
27:59
Hopefully they get their shit together and.
28:02
Maybe. I think Newcastle plays best
28:04
when they're not in Europe. Villa 2.
28:07
Villa two, yeah. It's poor teams, you're broke.
28:11
Yeah, well, it's funny. Newcastle wasn't broke, just no
28:14
one wants to go there. How did?
28:16
Why? Think about all the money they
28:19
have, that Saudi money. That's what I'm saying.
28:20
They have all the money, but no one wants to go there.
28:22
They have the beer. And they just sold ASAC for a
28:26
ton of money they didn't need. Who's also doing horror live?
28:29
He's that's probably the best sell of the season for them.
28:32
You know what they say? More money, more problems.
28:35
Yeah, I guess. How Wong do I?
28:37
Probably Wong got a start. Who?
28:41
Wong. For wolves, yeah, no, not good.
28:44
No, he he didn't even read. I don't think he even got double
28:47
digits. Oh man, yeah, he got 3 points.
28:50
Yeah, he didn't get double digits and Strand Larson's.
28:52
I don't. I don't understand why Strand
28:54
Larson's up with a bunch of jamery transfer rumors when he's
28:58
not done anything all season. Like we we were hoping that when
29:02
Kanye left that he was going to do a little bit more, but he
29:04
hasn't done nothing. I think I might have drafted him
29:07
one of leagues. I think so you might have.
29:10
Would you rather have Larson for the rest of the year?
29:13
Gilchrist. Cockerist just with the point
29:17
that he might actually score a goal on a team that's winning.
29:21
He might get a PD penalty from soccer.
29:23
Yeah, if soccer's on the bench. All right, And then we have
29:30
Villa 0. Every time 1.
29:32
This was Villa's chance to catch up to Arsenal and they fucking
29:36
less like yeah, it's. Not an easy game, man
29:39
Everything's that. They're at home.
29:41
If it was Evan at home, I've been like, OK, tough, but it's
29:45
Villa at home. What?
29:48
What's it is villain? Birmingham, Huh?
29:52
No. Why is it called Villa?
29:55
It's because the area it's in in it, it's a town where it is
29:58
Aston. Why?
29:58
Is it called Aston? I don't fucking know, man.
30:01
There's the Aston Martin there. Fucking have no clue.
30:03
I don't think so. Anyway, let's go back to
30:05
football. Villa zero ever.
30:07
And one your boy. Your boy is on waivers.
30:12
Scored 16 points. Mr. Barry.
30:15
Is he on waivers? No, I haven't in both of the
30:16
leagues. Yes, just because you haven't
30:19
doesn't mean everyone else in every other league hasn't.
30:21
I think he's 50% owned. He's got 3 double digits in the
30:24
last four. You have a sell high or you
30:27
draft and you you freaking pick him up on waivers and try to
30:30
ride that fucking train. You see these?
30:32
You know what they are? You're fucking hands.
30:36
I thought you were going to say that's that's your mic, this is
30:37
your backup. I thought you're going to do Joe
30:40
Duck. No.
30:40
OK, no. How dare you?
30:43
All right, Well, look, I only see how this game, I think,
30:47
what's his name? O'Brien did pretty well for
30:49
Everton. I think the defenders did pretty
30:51
well just because of clean sheet points for the most part.
30:53
But Mikhilenko, Tarkowski, still a gangster.
30:56
He's still scoring. Megan Patterson who got the spot
30:59
spark start 12 1/2 points. Yep dude I watched this game
31:03
because I needed to clean sheet points and the last like 20 to
31:08
30 minutes Villa was living in Everton's box.
31:11
They couldn't do shit so bad. Another feeling, Tom was doing
31:16
that too, but we couldn't score. But then you know what happened
31:17
was that good? Anyway, we was it with Villa.
31:20
They then they transferred Marlon, so Marlon's gone.
31:24
He went off. So he's he's no longer a Villa
31:26
player. I think he's on loan.
31:28
Didn't did I get a new player too?
31:31
I think they did, but I don't think it's.
31:32
I don't think it's a a name. Yeah, I don't think he played.
31:36
One thing is Tyrone Mings is back.
31:39
He didn't get the start. He he didn't get any playing
31:41
time, but he was on the bank, so he had high value when he was
31:44
playing. Watkins obviously doesn't do
31:47
shit because Watkins is shit. I don't know why he did that.
31:52
Drillish hasn't really produced in a while, right?
31:56
Well, he he got that red card not too long ago, so he didn't
31:59
play for a couple games. He did have that 28 point
32:02
against Bradford, yeah. And then McNeil got another
32:06
start. So this is he started 1234. 545.
32:13
Games. 66 games, yeah, and. But what?
32:16
What did he do in those games? So 11.2544 and a half, 12.56
32:21
point, 75.25 S something's there.
32:25
Something. But it's not the McNeil of old,
32:27
is it? No, he's not the copsman that he
32:30
used to be. Yeah, love that you will do.
32:31
When he was a copsman. Wish I had him.
32:33
Never had it on him when he was doing that.
32:35
I think, I think we have AI think we have a guest.
32:38
Who's that? Oh no, Oh no, put that away
32:43
mate. No one wants to see that.
32:46
He can't hear you. Good.
32:49
On a side note, Aston Martin, the headquarters is Gayden Ward,
32:53
Wickshire, England, OH. OK, approved.
33:01
You know, The thing is not everyone is capable of winning a
33:04
championship, so some people have to steal banners.
33:07
I might. I might win one this year.
33:09
And I would tell my mom that my brother took our my banner.
33:15
You know, I'd love if I won one league and came basically dead
33:18
last in the other. That automatically waves avoids
33:21
it. Oh, that's completely fine.
33:23
I'll win if I win. A personal record book.
33:26
Anyway, next game. Probably be the champion.
33:29
I don't think so. I think I'm gonna beat you in
33:31
the 12 night. I don't consider you a threat
33:34
whatsoever. I love it when you say that.
33:36
Just just keep talking nasty to me.
33:38
I like it when you talk nasty to me.
33:40
What jersey are you wearing? Italia, Italia, you know how to.
33:48
I don't think I could see that four stars.
33:51
I'm a Brazil fan. If you combine 2 both of your
33:54
countries, you'll have the same amount as no.
33:56
It's actually, I think it's actually missing.
33:57
So I think it Lee's got. Five.
33:59
No, they have 4. Are you sure they have?
34:02
Yeah, I think. I think they have 5.
34:05
No. Well, they might have 4:00
34:06
because I always say I've got 5 World Cups because.
34:08
I yeah, no, they have 4, Germany has four and Brazil has five.
34:12
And England has 1, so I got 5, I have 5.
34:17
You know, I don't think I could ever put like we're another
34:19
international jersey outside of Armenia or Brazil.
34:23
No, I'm, I've got, I'm Italian, so you know, a quarter, I'm so
34:28
Italian. If Italy plays England in the
34:30
World Cup, who do you root for? England.
34:33
Semifinal. England.
34:35
Quarter final. England.
34:38
The one before the quarter final.
34:40
I always support England if England plays.
34:43
If England plays early I always support England.
34:45
Always. Living there for over 20 years.
34:49
Trump's me just being from Italy.
34:52
OK, how long have you been living here?
34:55
19 years. So in two years are you going to
34:57
start supporting USA? It's completely different.
34:59
I'm not, I'm not. I'm American only by paperwork.
35:04
Don't wait. Don't.
35:05
Don't. Hey, Sergey, Sergey, take this
35:07
out. Take this out.
35:09
Throw your American accent. Can we go to the last?
35:11
Game We were doing such good time and we're on one last game
35:14
and waivers. OK, you, you need to say
35:16
something with your American accent before like they come on
35:18
like, you know. Butter, water.
35:21
That's your go to. That's the only thing you can
35:23
say. So like, all right, last game,
35:26
let's see, who do we have Brighton versus Bournemouth?
35:29
You just have Oh no, there's two notes.
35:33
Say this name. Stilos scored a goal, he's on
35:36
waivers, Tavernier got a goal, penalty 18.75 points.
35:41
This is life after Semenya with Bournemouth.
35:45
Do I see that much? It looks like he's late in the
35:47
goal, which doesn't really concern them because they're
35:48
defending, but they only scored one.
35:51
I didn't really see too much coming out of the offence like
35:54
explosive wise though. I still think, I think Evan
35:58
Nielsen's a good shout because I think they're going to start
36:01
just throwing balls into the box for that guy.
36:04
I think he's like 52% owned for Bournemouth.
36:07
But I think this you'll see in the waivers I've I've got
36:10
defenders and midfielders you want to go for the way you want
36:12
me to go for the waivers. Just real quick, it's going to
36:17
be interesting where they get their gold production from for
36:20
Bournemouth. If they have someone else.
36:21
I could replace Simenio, but you're saying life after Simenio
36:24
for Bournemouth? Look at life after Bournemouth
36:28
for Simenio. Yeah.
36:30
One is more than 0 points. Yeah, Yeah, that's true.
36:34
All right, waivers. Leeds.
36:37
And let. Me.
36:39
Go for it. Let me do my hosting.
36:41
Enzo, please let us know about the waivers.
36:43
My God. Leeds and Pardu is a defender.
36:46
20% owned. He's got 4 double digit gains in
36:48
the last five. Three of those have been 20 plus
36:50
points. Two of them had gold
36:52
involvements, one goal and one assist and they got ever Next
36:55
up. I think this is the top waiver
36:58
wire for the week just because of the 320 plus goal games, 20
37:03
point plus games he's had. Leeds have been doing pretty
37:06
well. Three of them, yeah, I think he
37:09
should be a number one next one. I think this one's a close
37:12
second one. West Ham, Wambasaka again,
37:15
defender, 41% own 3 double digit games in the last four.
37:18
No clean sheets, no goal involvement.
37:20
He's got Sunderland, Chelsea and Burnley next.
37:22
He's a ghost point machine at this point in time, so.
37:27
Bisaka was obviously one of the top defenders last year, right?
37:31
Drafted high and I know he got off to a very shitty.
37:34
Potter. Potter fucked in my Benny and
37:37
Potter didn't get along and he got rid of Potter and now he's
37:41
fine. That's what I think.
37:43
He's a good player. He's going to make his.
37:45
Is he? Is he the right back for
37:47
England? No, but he's backup.
37:48
I think well, and he hadn't played since last game he played
37:51
was December 14 against Finland -1 point.
37:54
But prior to it he was, he had a good run and he's against
37:57
Tottenham. I mean, if you're a defender,
37:59
you need to get right game. Tottenham's the way to go. 19.75
38:02
Sorry again, I don't know why he keep doing this.
38:05
I do know because I hate you so. But yeah, if people who held on
38:11
to him for the whole year, kudos.
38:13
No pun intended. Said for everyone else, 41%.
38:17
That's like insanely low and surprising, to be honest, yeah.
38:20
Yeah, and that'll be my second pick for the defenders.
38:24
West Ham Fernandez, again, midfielder.
38:27
I know we spoke about him. He's 52% owned.
38:29
He's got a decent run over the last eight games.
38:31
I think he's averaging around 9 1/2 points a game.
38:34
He does have a couple low ones in there, but then he has a 17,
38:36
an 18 and a 12. So there's some upside there for
38:40
Fernandez, and I think we spoke about him a few times.
38:42
I hope he fats. Keith owns them and both of the
38:47
teams. Keith does.
38:48
Fernandes guy, yeah. Course he does course he does
38:51
but in the rest of the leagues he's still 48% available Next
38:55
one I finished another big one mascara for wolves now the
38:58
defender 3% owned, only 3% owned has three double digit games in
39:02
the last last four wolves on a good run of results.
39:04
I've only got 3 draws and A and a wing so.
39:08
It's all fair. I know, but ride, ride it high.
39:11
But I'm going to tell you right now, there's a there's a another
39:13
wolves defender here, Hugo Puento defender, 30% on 4 double
39:17
digit games in a row. One assist and two conceits in
39:19
there. I think Wolves, Wolves defenders
39:22
could be ones that you could try to look at.
39:24
I didn't look at who's their next run of games though.
39:26
I showed. I'll I'll look it up right now,
39:31
but I said it's sad for Wolves, but they have last five the same
39:34
amount of points as City and who they actually happen to play
39:39
next City. So so you and then it's
39:43
Bournemouth, Chelsea, Forest, that's.
39:46
Not there. So they have.
39:48
Tough. Yeah, so City's tough, Chelsea's
39:51
tough, but at the same time, like afterwards, Forest, Palace,
39:55
Villa, all of those are games that could be like potential for
39:57
clean sheets and also like giving it one goal.
40:00
That's fine. You're going to be busy against
40:02
those so. All right.
40:04
And if if you're short for forwards, I want to get a couple
40:06
forwards in there too. Got Barry Broward, Everton,
40:10
Philip Sinon, you know, he's in decent form, 3 double digits in
40:14
the last four. He's got Leeds, Bryan and Fulham
40:16
next. I think that's a really good
40:18
match up for him and I think he could score well.
40:20
Evans a a tough team to go against and they've been scoring
40:23
one goal, not really more than one.
40:25
So let's see. Let's see if he can be the guy
40:27
that always gets it. And he's also been solidified as
40:30
a starter. It was at first Beta was the
40:34
starter for the year, but obviously body overtook him.
40:39
Brazilian. Yeah, body.
40:40
Yeah, you're right. Have you watched the TV show
40:42
Barry? No.
40:44
Dude. I I know it looks good I just
40:46
never watched. It it's amazing.
40:48
It's also shot like in last first, but it's amazing.
40:50
There's a Russian guy in there who calls himself body.
40:54
Got it. All right, got it.
40:56
All right, Brian Costolos Costulos forward 6% on 2 double
41:01
digit games in a row. One goal, one assist in those,
41:03
although he only played 12 minutes the last game, but it
41:06
could earn him a start after he got that goal and he got the
41:08
assisted game before that. It's a long shot.
41:11
It's Brian. But if you need a forward and
41:13
and it's the day off and your forward isn't there or he's
41:16
injured or he isn't playing and this guy is for Brian, a slight
41:20
man. And the brightest schedule is
41:23
they play Fulham, Everton, Palace, Villa, Brantford,
41:28
Forest. So they have like a very
41:30
favorable schedule. Yeah, All right, man, this, this
41:34
was actually, I actually enjoyed this a lot.
41:36
We went on Tango a little bit, but we came back on track.
41:39
You know, we didn't have, we didn't have keep going, come
41:43
back, come back, go back, none of that.
41:45
I have a confession to make. Oh no.
41:48
The way we were talking about the Costulos player, your voice
41:51
cut off. So we just heard like the
41:52
beginning and then none of the stats.
41:56
Oh, really? Yeah, it's fine though.
41:58
How do you how do you know that you?
42:00
Didn't hear me. Yeah, I didn't hear you.
42:02
Maybe. Maybe in there.
42:03
Maybe it recorded fine. Who knows?
42:05
To get people at the Riverside, they work Magics.
42:08
Like, did I say magics? It's just one magic.
42:10
All right, let's look at the coming games.
42:14
Let's see what we have. We'll power to them real quick.
42:17
West and Sunderland. Nothing exciting there.
42:20
Full of Brighton. Could be.
42:23
I don't know, West Ham, Sunland could be they both have Sunland
42:28
defenders score really well. So they're playing them and I
42:30
think Wambasaka will still play well.
42:33
I think this is a game for Bowen to try to come back, so I think
42:35
he's a bad run of games, this. Is not a chance for you to talk
42:40
about your fantasy players and give yourself hope.
42:42
This is not about you. Got it.
42:44
This is about me foolin and Kevin's starting.
42:48
He needs to start by again. Chuck Wazy's back so.
42:52
Yeah, but I mean, Kevin, most potential versus Burnley.
42:57
Oh my God, if we lose that, we bear fire.
43:00
Thomas, Frank. I'm I'm Facetiming you.
43:03
Even if you guys time Facetiming you, you better pick up.
43:08
Maybe. Man City versus wolves.
43:11
I mean, it's going to be slaughter.
43:14
Yeah, well, you think that Liverpool?
43:16
Form how do you say which way? Oh, OK.
43:19
Liverpool versus apartment. It'd be interesting to see how
43:23
the most solid. That's something to keep an eye
43:24
out for. Chelsea.
43:27
Crystal Palace. If you asked me about this game
43:29
two weeks ago, I thought I would have said this is like an
43:31
amazing game game. But Palace is becoming a shell
43:34
of themselves, especially if Matata has gone by then, which
43:38
we'll find out this game Sunday. We'll find out Saturday night.
43:42
Yeah, if he's on the team or not.
43:45
They're in Newcastle and villages.
43:46
No, they play. Everton, Yeah, Newcastle, Villa,
43:50
they're playing, which again should be a very good game, but
43:54
I think Bradford, Forest, whatever.
43:57
Everton, Leeds, whatever. But the main Should we watch New
44:02
York Sundays, Right? Am I off this Sunday?
44:06
Oh, look at me, I'm an adult. I work on Sundays.
44:08
I'm off this Sunday. Should we watch it, we might be
44:11
able to get Sergey to come out too.
44:13
I don't want to watch you as saga, I don't want to watch it
44:16
with your brother. I don't want I I can't believe
44:17
we went to a frigging Arsenal pub to watch a Tottenham Arsenal
44:20
game. But think about it.
44:22
All right. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
44:23
Oh, look. Is it?
44:25
Is it? What time is it?
44:26
What time's the game? Perfect.
44:28
Yeah. Yeah, I'll do it.
44:28
My wife goes to church that day so I can come meet you.
44:31
What if Arsenal lose? If Arsenal lose, I might be out
44:35
all day drinking. Be awesome, May and I could do
44:39
everyone in the league. If if Arsenal lose, Villa win
44:43
and Manchester City win, it's going to be a fucking great day.
44:45
It's going to be a great. Day Tottenham's lose.
44:49
No, Tottenham's got to win, Tom's got to win.
44:52
To be fit I mean. No, Tom's got to win, man.
44:57
Tom's got to win. Fuck, I'm not even confident
45:01
anymore. What we're going to see is it is
45:03
Burnley and we should beat them just how we should have beat
45:05
West Ham, just how we should have beat Wolves early in the
45:07
season, what we drew against. So let's see, let's see.
45:11
We do have Bruja Dortmund tomorrow.
45:13
So let me see how my team plays tomorrow.
45:14
Let's not jump ahead. Why are you laughing?
45:17
It just how sad your voice sounded when you said we should
45:21
win. We will win.
45:23
That's cracking. Let's close this out man.
45:25
I'll go out dinner. It's at turf, mood, the Burnley
45:28
stadium. I know, all right.
45:31
So I mean they could take away my banner but never my trophy.
45:35
All right guys, this is drafta sides, this is Tico and Enzo.
45:38
We don't have Keith. Why always me E Dahlia by
45:42
England 1st and we'll see you on the next episode.
45:46
So I have someone that keeps.
