  Speaker 1: It's time to talk about that man again. Only one
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: of us now owns Earling Harland. We discussed premiums in depth,
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: look ahead to the congested Christmas schedule, and suggests Forcio
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Sucker as the standout captains the option. Hello, welcome back
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: to the FPL pod. Thursday comes around very quickly these days.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: It feels a big game week last week. Congratulations if
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: you captained Mostsella. I can't believe I'm here to be
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: honest as someone that didn't own him.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: But I am.
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: I survived Kelly Summer's back with Sam Bonfield and Julian
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: and Laron, two very smug Salar owners, but Jewles didn't
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: captain him Jews.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, you're right, You're right.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: I mean, the whole truth is that I swapped them
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: between Swapdham the umband between him and Harland pretty much.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: On Friday, I was in Saudi Arabia for work and
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: Saturday morning, and then I took the kids to the
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: cinema in the morning, and then I forgot to I
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: promise you this is the truth.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: I forgot to put it back onto Salah.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: That's why even in the tweet that posted with my team,
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: I said the captain Halen Oh Salah, I was still
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: and I was very much like come on shortly Motala
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: as the one.
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: So then I was.
• 1:09
  Speaker 2: Very stressed watching the game against Southampton, and to be fair,
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: for most of.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: It he was not really much into it.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: And then SOMETI came from the northboard gave him two
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: gifts two goals, and I was fuming.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Sam, I don't know what I'm more surprised about that
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: the fact that Joe's actually did something with his kids
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: or he forgot the dead.
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: I thought you did it just to troll me, because
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: then when Man City beats Burds, you could come on
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: here and be like, oh and I captains Harlan.
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: No no, no, no, no no no.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Although I thought I really thought he would do much
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: better against than to be fair, he could easily have
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: had two goals. So no, it was just I hesitated,
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: really and then I thought Salah has to be the pick,
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: and then I just.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: Didn't do it, Sam, How did your team do elsewhere?
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: I can just point out one thing for you, only further,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: I didn't have Salah yet somehow I beat you both.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: I don't know how, but I did.
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: I think it was one of those weeks, though, wasn't
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: it where if you had the right other players then
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: you could you could get away with it because there
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: were so many other big holes, like if you had Kenya,
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: or you had Jil Pedro, or you double up on
• 2:15
  Speaker 4: the Arsenal defense as well, or you'd had soccer, then
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: you could get away with it. Whereas for my team
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: it was a it was a weird week because like,
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: I have never been so cross at a player as
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: I was at Madawak when it got in the way
• 2:29
  Speaker 4: of that Cole Palmer shot, because I was like, that's
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: a load of points. And I was watching that game
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: with my dad, who's a massive Chelsea fan, and he
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: was like, I don't understand why you're so angry about this,
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: and I was like, FPR points dat. But yeah, I
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: think for me it was just it was it was
• 2:46
  Speaker 4: a good game week. I had Raya, I'd played Gardil
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: and I probably shouldn't. But although to be fair, how
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: he didn't get an attacking return in that game against Burds,
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: I still don't really know like his attacking threats is
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: had At the moment, I had Strand Larson instead of Kunya,
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: which is such a frustration, but you know, at least
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: he got an assist towards the back end of that game,
• 3:10
  Speaker 4: I had Dominic Selanki. And then when you only get
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: an assist in a four goal victory, that's also a
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: bit annoying. But yeah, I mean, look it was it
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: was a fine game. We'd got fifty four. It was
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: a tiny, tiny, little red couple of hundred k places,
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: So yeah, it was okay I'd captained Salah, but Bruno
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: and Palmer not returning. When you've got that level of
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: budget and players and they don't return, it's annoying.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: I know what you're going to do with Bruno, will
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: talk about him very shortly, Juels. Overall, you've got fifty seven,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: so just a few more than Sam. I know you're
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: not happy with the captaincy, but elsewhere, how did the
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: team do? What will you please with?
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I swear it was great, and fifty seven got
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: me a green arrow again then the third game week
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: in a row, so that was good. Obviously if i'd
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: had if I had captain Salah, it would have been
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: even a better. But Henderson with the penalty save of
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: course Saliba the bike. We said that Arsonal would would
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: would get more solid now and I think I think
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: they're desertainly underway. Salah, we said, Nicol Jackson really with
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: the goal and the assist, well, you know what I
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: think it's it should never be given as an assist
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: when you have a shot and that the keeper saves it,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: and even if somebody.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: Scores on the rebound. It's crazy. But I talked, I
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: took those points. But yeah, Nico.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: Nico was the one that really pleased me the most
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: because we talked a lot about Ko Patman and we
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: said in last week's show, if you can't afford him
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: because he's expensive, Nichol is a great replacement. And Nicole
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: is still expensive in a way for forwards in the
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: game compared to others. But but he's been in really
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: good form this season. I think he deserves maybe a
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: high higher ownership.
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I know what you mean. Actually, I have spoiler.
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: I have made my transfers that made them on Saturday night,
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: and Jackson was nearly one that I brought in. I
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: didn't go for him in the end. You concerned about
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: has at all.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: I was surprised you didn't play at all to be
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: in the game against Forrest, But then he came back
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: and played against Sporting in the Champions Leon Shoes and
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: I did really well, linking up everything, scoring a goal
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: as well. So you know, I think he's going to
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: start this weekend, and I just it's a question of
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: with Havez. Yes, you can probably go for somebody even
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: more informed than him, because he's had a bit of
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: a dip like the whole Arsenal team. But I think
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: this is a team capable now with all the Guard
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: back in the team to create so many chances for
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: everyone Rosa or Martinelli, Sucker obviously, or the guard himself.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: Even your deeper midfielders and then Haards will have chances.
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: So it's not always the most clinical.
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: We know that.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: I still think even if he's expensive too, I think
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: he's still a great asset to have, especially if like me,
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: you don't have SOCCA or or the Guard and don't
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: really have the money to invest into Socca.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: You're not going to be able to get to soccer either,
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: are you.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: So for me, have it a bit like Jackson and Palmer.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: Haveards make sense as a Nasenal attacker, as the non
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: soccer Arsenal attacker.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: Okay, let's check in on our Mini League then, and
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: remind you codys Q seven YCO the letter zero the number.
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: Looking at how you guys are doing in that league.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: James White is at the summit seventy five points for him,
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: well done. Captained. Moe Salah transferred in Chuelle Pedro for
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: Dominic Calvert Lewin. What a transfer that is. He's now
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: thirteenth in the world. The reason I'm saying that that's
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: probably the transfer, the final transfer for the game week,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: I'm going to make it made two already. James, though,
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: has used all four of his currently available chips, but
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: it seems to have worked for him. Now. Last week's
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: leader at Godfrey, he's now second. He also Captain Saler,
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: but he rolled his transfer this week. He got sixty
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: nine points that makes him just behind James. He's two
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: places behind in fact fifteenth overall. He does, however, have
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: all four original chips available, so that includes wildcard as well.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: We also wanted to give a shout out to Charlie
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: Shepard and Alex Lindham, who both played the triple captain
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: chip this week on Mo Salah.
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: They got eighty.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: Nine and ninety six points respectively. Charlie went from ninth
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: in the league. Fourth Alex went from twenty fifth all
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: the way up to fifth. Just to just show how
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: useful those chips are. Okay, it feels like every week
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: at the moment, on either the pod or the show,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about one man, not Juliana on Arling.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: Harland quite similar in terms of.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: I've sold him. Guys, I've gone you have Yeah, well,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: well you've done it. I did it on Saturday night.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: Okay, I've a few drinks no no, no to get Salah.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Yes, it was a transfer I should have done last week.
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: Do you remember I sat here a week ago Sam
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: and said, yeah, I'm going to do so Meno, I'm
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: thinking of doing so Meno and Harland, Salah and Esak
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: and I didn't do it. Yeah, that was really brave
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: to do that before Salah Andy Saka played and Champions
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: leaguequipble as well. But do you know what I also thought,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: I agree. So that's why I had three transfers. I
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: used two of them and I kept one just in
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: case something went really wrong, which is annoying because I've
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: missed the other transfers. I said it's going to be
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: Carvert Lewin to Schwel Pedro and it's annoying because ral
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: Pedro rose and Dominic Covertleu and fell. But I was like,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: I can't go to gung Hoo here and completely end
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: up having to take points. It's to replace them. See,
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: I watched Esach and so none of those players had played,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: so I had to watch Sala on Sunday, Esac on Monday.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: Salah last night. I see, I don't want to speak
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: too soon because probably a couple of training sessions to go.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: I seem to have survived it. But I had such
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: a The three pms went so well for me. I
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: was really pleased. I was on a really big green arras.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: So all of my players played on Saturday night. I
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: had sixty four points by Saturday evening. I was really happy,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: but I was just so annoyed with Earling Harland. I
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: wasn't able to watch all of that late game. I
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: was listening to bits on the radio. I was traveling
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: back from Manchester, but I was getting updates from my friend.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: I mentioned on this pod quite a lot and he
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: just said, we have to sell, we have to and
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: I was like, I knew that anyway, And I was
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: annoyed that I wasn't bold enough to go with that
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: trip those transfers before because I had semn You just
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: got a point last week as well. Semenya also is
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: now banned, so that also just I just thought, do
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: you know what, I haven't been bold enough this season.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: While I feel like maybe I'm going to gain some
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: up with momentum, I'm going to really push forward and
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: try and do it. So I did those transfers. Anyway,
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: That's where I am, and I think a lot of managers.
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: I think a lot of managers will be in a
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: similar position. His sales are only going to increase. In fact,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: his ownership is now just fifty six point one percent.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong that it's still absolutely huge, but
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: it's not as absolutely huge as we've seen in the past.
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: He's still the most owned player in the game. Salot
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: is owned by fifty five point two percent with manager
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: of Managers with fifty four point seven percent with Palmer.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: Since Monday, by the way, Harland has dropped another one
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: point five percent. You both seem shocked at me selling him,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: then my first question to you is why are you shocked?
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: Some I'm shocked that you did it before Salo even played,
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: I think, so I I was spoiler a layer. I
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: also made a transfer on Saturday night. I wist out
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: because of price rises.
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: That were going to happen, and I wanted to make
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: sure that I hit them, but it didn't use both
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: my transfers for the same reason, so I let one
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: go that I knew was going to rising price and
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: might mean the longer term, I can't afford them because
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: it was for an Arsenal player, and I didn't want
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: to do it ahead of the Champions League, so I
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: kind of waited on that one. But I guess for me,
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: I'm just the surprise came not that you'd sold Harlan,
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: because I think I still think that that's the right
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: thing at the moment, but more that you did it
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: for salary. I quit neither of them had played yet
• 10:20
  Speaker 4: in the game week, because that's a massive risk to
• 10:22
  Speaker 4: do that ahead of ahead of the games, because if
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: one of them gets injured, then it.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: Doesn't matter, guys, because they're fine. Like I said, two
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: more training sessions to go. No my luck. I did
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: say that to my friend. I said, no, my luck,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: one of them is going to do an atl now
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: across the next week because that's the way the season
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: has been gone. Jewels, are you still are you still
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: sticking with you?
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: And I really admire your bravery and others who've sold Harland.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: I just I just can't and I think if I
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: look at Okay, the performances haven't been great collectively from
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: City and from him individually. He scored two in the
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: last four Promier League matches, so that's not too bad,
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: but for him that's not really the standing. And also
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: he's missed a few chances. But as we always say,
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: if you look a little bit deeper into the data
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: and the starts his expected goals, that's just so good.
• 11:13
  Speaker 3: You know, against Spurs it was zero point eight two,
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: which is still in law.
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: He could easily have scored two goals in that against
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: Brighton one point three eight, against Bournemouth zero point eight eight,
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: and if you look at the XG on target it's
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: one four four against Bournemouth and then against So sometimes
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: let's not.
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: Even go there, because there was two point.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: Three three anyway, So if I would be more worried
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: if there was just nothing, XD was really low. There
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: was no chances created for him, or he was not
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: in the right positions which he is. He scored two
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: in the Champions League on to the night, albeit in
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: a disastrous night for City, but still so I just
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: think that at.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: Some point they're going to get better.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't be surprised if it was on Sunday against Liverpool,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: for example. Certainly offensively offensively, I think they will concede
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: goals because they're all over the place and they seem
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: to think like Vardu or more about scoring goals than
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: actually not conceding any, which is a worry. But with
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: the board going forward, I still think that he's going
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: to score those. And he's still the forward with the
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: most points in the game this season. So I don't
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: see why, even for budget reason, why I would sell him.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: I can kind of understand.
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: For me.
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: I looked at it and thought, I've got soccer. I
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: can't sell soccer. I need to have my Sala. It
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: just feels like he's a need at the moment because
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: I was my rankord soared on Saturday night. Don't get
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: me wrong, he needed to saw it just sawed to
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: a slightly more respectable level. But they're not having Sala
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: put me back so far, and I don't know. It
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: just felt particularly given that performance. Don't get me wrong,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: halftime on Tuesday night, I was thinking, oh, no, City
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: are back, Harlan's going to be back. He's scored, He's
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: on the school sheet again. But actually City here an
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: interesting team at the moment, aren't they? Sam, It's it's
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: just not working. I mean I'm not the first and
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: I'm definitely not going to be the last person to
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: say that this week. But how does that play into
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: your thinking when it comes to FPL.
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: I think it has to. I think you have to
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: look at the player form, but the team form as
• 13:06
  Speaker 4: well as well.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: As the fixtures.
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: I think I think with Harlan at the moment, I
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: mean Jews is right, like when you look at the
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: underlying stats from game weeks one to five and then
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: from six to twelve, his XG, his XA, his XGI,
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: his touches, his penalty area, touches, his goal attempts, everything's
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: up in the last since game week six, which when
• 13:24
  Speaker 4: you think about the level of points returns that he's
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: had in that time, doesn't the stats on what we're
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: seeing in terms of returns in FPL. So it's a
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: tough one I think for me right now though, there's well,
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: there's two things that play into it. First thing is
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: that I can have Salar instead, and he's playing really
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: well and in a Liverpool team that's playing really well,
• 13:46
  Speaker 4: so that's playing into my thinking. But also it's the
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: fact that there's so many brilliant like roughly six million
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: ish forwards and like, I get what you just said, Jews,
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: but I think for budget reasons, it like when you
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: compare him with say Kunya at the moment or Joe
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: Pedro at the moment, the savings that you have there
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: for better returns right now. And I'm not saying that
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: that's going to last all season. I'm not expecting Kunya
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: to you know, be the ballond or winner or anything
• 14:14
  Speaker 4: this season, but with the fixtures of the way that
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: they are, they should and he should continue to get
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: good returns over the next few weeks and at his
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: price point in comparison to Harlan's. And the fact that
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: if you go for Kunu or jar Pedro or somebody
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: similar over even if you want to go Esak like
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: kel over Harlan, you can then have Palmer and Saka
• 14:34
  Speaker 4: and Salah in the middle. And the ability to have
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: those three far out weighs what Harland could do, and
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: I think that for me.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: Is yeah, could, because we can wear it.
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: Should go doors three of them versus one.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: I don't know if he should, but in that case
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: we can also say that Haland could now score two
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: goals in every single game in the PREMIU until the
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: end of the season, because you should be he has
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: the starts for it and he is in the team
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: for it. I just I just find with the should
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: and could and it's just to be. So then it's
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: it's downe to your preferences and maybe okay, fixture list
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: and form of the moment. But Coo Patmer was not
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: that great against Leicester for example, certainly not the best
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: player by fine his team behind Enzo and Nicol Jackson
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: and others. And yeah, he was unlucky on that good
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: that you mentioned what should have been a goal really
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: that Madwik takes away from him. But I watched that
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: game and I'm thinking, like, I don't have Palm in
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: my team, and really on that on that game itself,
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: I've got no regrets to all not to have compartment
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: and okay, this weekend in my score four and I think, okay, yeah,
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: I should.
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: Have him and not Harland.
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: If haland blanks, but then if Helen scores four this
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: weekend and you don't have him, but you have Parma
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: who does nothing, then next week we here sitting and
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: they're saying like, well, you should have had Harland, and
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: do you see what I mean?
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: So so it's.
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: Always should and could and which is which is absolutely fun.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: This is part of the fun of the game.
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: But I just don't again, I don't want to take
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: the risk of nothing because of all those players, and
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: certainly on the form of our times this season, and.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: They've all been a bit up and down. Let's be honest.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: Even Palma is not maybe as consistent as it was
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: last season, where every week we knew he was going
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: to do something quite special. Saka as same with Arsenal
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: had a bit of a deep as well too, and
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Nice City Stern, but Mosalla might have the next four
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: games with nothing either, you know. So it's just yeah,
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: it's just what you feel really is the most important
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: for your team.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: Going back to the kind of should and could debate,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: that's kind of what in a different way, those Jews
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: I we can all say Harland should and could have
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: had all of those points that he's underlying st created
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: And I've sat on this show and on the FPL
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: TV show as well, every week and people have told
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: me stats like that have made me a new people
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: like me, and you keep him. It just got to
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: a point where I just thought, I'm not enjoying owning
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: him as well. Now it's just a frustration and is
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: meant to be fun. Don't get me wrong, it will
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: not be fun when he never gets a hat trick.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: Is he's still not having him he's stiland and he's
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: still And I take all of Jules's points on board,
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: and if I could, I would keep him. But when
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: you had a player that on Saturday for me was
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: fifteen point two million, he was going down to fifteen
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: point one, then I wouldn't have kept that point one
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: to for when I sell him, For example, I just thought,
• 17:15
  Speaker 1: why am I holding him ahead of a fixture with Liverpool.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong. After Liverpool, it's then Forest Crystal Palace,
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Manchester United Villa Everton Lester. There's a couple of fixtures
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: in there that I will be particularly nervous about. It's
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: more than a couple, but most salah for me, jeors
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: if you had to go without one of Salah or
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: Harland at the moment, who would it be?
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: No, I mean on the form, yeah, no, no, no, you
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: don't have to.
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: You don't have to. So I'm but that's that's kind
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: of like how I had to look at it in
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: my team.
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: You can just have one.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: It needs to be Salar. It feels it feels.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, And that's why for me the dilemma is
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: slightly different because I decided to go with both Salah
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: and Highland, when when some as she rightly said, and
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: this is completely respectable too, to go for Saka Palma
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: and Salah and no have Harland. And this is your
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: main front, your main three really, instead of your main
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: two if you go with halland and Salah for example.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: But again it's just the way I see it though,
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: and I understand the budget reason, and I think the
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: reason why I think a lot of people are selling
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: Helean is for that. So you go down to Kunya,
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: but that means you can reinvest a lot of that money,
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: although make sure that you still have enough in the
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: bank or a way to get back to earling halland
• 18:30
  Speaker 2: because the day, yeah, things are going to get better
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: for city probably after the Liverpool game, maybe when the
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: fixtures are much better, and then I think a lot
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: of people would want to get back made or might
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: want to give him back into the team. But if
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: you tell me between Joe Pedro, Kunia and halland for example,
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: still who is the most likely to score more goals,
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: and I know budget obviously comes into the consideration, I
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: would always back halland more than Kunya. For Cunya to
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: keep playing at this level, or for Joe Pedro to
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: keep playing at the level that we saw in the
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: two games.
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: It's just as simple as that.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: And I just think, again, it's too much of a
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: risk not to have Highlands producer.
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: Jess is going to be playing this back to us
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: next week, Jewels his words of wisdom when Harlan no, no,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: but it's but it's a bit ultimately fpl So much
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: of it is just using the evidence we have and
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: then having to guess what a player is going to
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: do at the weekend. None of us know. And I
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: think it's really interesting that for so long we've all
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: sat on different players, me without most Salah just having
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Harland Sam Sam just having Salah and vice versa. This
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: is what's made the game so good. We said it's
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: so many times this year, the fact that we're all
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: in slightly different situations. But also what makes FPL good
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: is knowing when to jump on and off players and
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: jewels like you. I watched that early kickoff on Saturday
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: and I thought to myself, Gosh and I we can
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: joke all you like about my history with Cole Palmer,
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: and that's part of the reason I won't sell him.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: But if I didn't have Cole Palmer, my transfer on
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: Saturday night would have been Harland to Jackson, and I
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: probably would have liked that more than Harlan to Easak,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: to be honest, and then I would have had more
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: money and maybe, in fact, I wouldn't have need to
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: sell Harlem because I've got so much money in Cole Palmer.
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: So maybe you're right at the moment, maybe Cole Palmer
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: isn't one of the best expensive players. But the beauty
• 20:08
  Speaker 1: of the game, Salm is that it can change game
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: week to game week. For me, at the moment, it
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: just feels like Salah is the most consistent.
• 20:13
  Speaker 4: I agree with everything you've just said, and I think
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: for me, it's never about is this player worth owning
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: because in isolation, they're all worth Carlin. You know, if
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: you look at it purely in isolation, then you would
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: absolutely want to keep Harlem because he will undoubtedly be
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: one of the top goal scorers in the league this season.
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: I have no doubt about that. But it's not just
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: each player in isolation. It's each player in comparison to
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: the rest of the team that you can build around
• 20:42
  Speaker 4: having that player. So if you have Harlan and Sala,
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: like Jews does, then you have some sacrifices there, so
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: likely like Jewels no soccer or no Palma, or maybe
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: both neither of them. Maybe there's only one Arsenal defender
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: rather than two. There's all of those conversations. Whereas if
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: you don't have Harlan and just have Salah, or don't
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: have Salah and just have Harlan, the team that you
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: can build potentially looks better because you can fit in
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: all these extra players. So you can join my club
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: of like finding it absolutely horrendous.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Oh, don't get me wrong, no offense, but I do
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: not want to be in that club. But you're welcome
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: to join me.
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: Hide and behind the sofa. Every time Man City play,
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: I must admit that Saturday evening was probably the best
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: night of my life because not only did Harlan not
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: do anything to hurt me in FBL, but Spurs were
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: going on a riot and I was so happy. I
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: can't say happy I was, But there are other weeks
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: where I'm watching, Like the first week I sold him.
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: It was the Briting game, and obviously he scored quite
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: early on in that game, and I was like, oh,
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: this is awful, and I just was like, we were
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: thankfully out so I didn't have to watch it. And
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: by the end of the game, I was just like,
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: let's just I'm not going to turn my phone off
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: and I'm not going to look at it until the
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: end and then I'll see how much damage is done.
• 21:59
  Speaker 4: And in the end, it was just the one goal
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: and it was okay. But it does feel constantly like
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: that kind of worry is always there. But then that
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: worry was there when I didn't have Salah, and that
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: worry is there one I don't have soccer, and it's
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: there one I don't have Palmit. So it's the same
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: for all of these players. You just have to make
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: some tough choices. And this is why this year's game
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: is so good because you have to make those choices.
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I also quite like I said before, that we're
• 22:24
  Speaker 1: all in slightly different situations, although some you and I
• 22:26
  Speaker 1: in slightly more similar situations. Though what you who are
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: your three four is now?
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: Well, my forward line is a bit random because because
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: obviously I made some interesting choices going into my wild card.
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: So I've still got Selanky, I've got Chris Wood at
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: the moment, who's getting one more week because of Goid
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: switched this time around, and then I made a transfer,
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: as I said on Saturday evening, So I did Strand
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: Laarston to jal Pedro on Saturday evening. So at the
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: moment they're my funt three. But within the next week
• 22:55
  Speaker 4: or two, the plan is for Chris Wood to be Kunya.
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: Right, okay, yeah, Minor now Kunya Dominic Cavallewin, who's going
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: to become Fra Pedro.
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: Sorry, you have to keep it.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: I don't to be honest, world, I think no, he's
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: on by zero points.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: I've lost a lot of money, and him his prices
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: fallen and fallen and falling. Everyone else everyone's smart anyway,
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: he is if you're him now guys, get him and.
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: You can buy Dominic Caro's bad.
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: We're joking.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: No, no, no, no. The thing. The thing is, I still
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: stand by all the reasons I brought him, and it
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: just hasn't worked out, and he could have had more
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: goals in that period. But as he said, Sam, there
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: are forwards performing best than him in the game right now.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: So I think his prices might be five point six now,
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: which is really done wonders from my team value, and
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: I think I bought him at six. But yeah, Minor Cunya,
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: who wasn't really pleased to have had for a couple
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: of weeks now again Sam, we sat her a couple
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: of weeks ago. Didn't When we talked about whether Strand
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: Larson or Kun, you was, could you get away with
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: having Strand last? And I thought you could. Turns out
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: you can't really can. It does just provide the assists
• 24:01
  Speaker 1: and the spectacular and he's just an incredible form. So
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: I've got Cunya, Sak and Dominic Cavalo and he'll become
• 24:08
  Speaker 1: Pedro I kind of already. I don't know if I'm
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: that happy with the Sak, but he's there. We're going
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: to roll with him.
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: Because there's always she can go and yeah, and because
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: of his price point, you can easily come down to
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: well pretty much anyone else. It's only really Watkins that
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: you would maybe struggle to get up to, and for
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: budget reasons, everyone else you could afford to go to
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: from him.
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: Should have scored on Monday night. He was. He was
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: lucky to score. He had enough.
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: I kind of it was funny because I brought them
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: into my team on Saturday night and was kind of
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: cheering him on on Monday, knowing that I don't know.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: I thought, maybe I'll get maybe I'll get that terrible season.
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: That's not how it works.
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: But also wanted him to play well so that his
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: price grow so that I can kind of increase my team.
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: But I wanted to get the team value back up again.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: It was awful.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: Transfer on the Saturday morning.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Well, she'll be back next week, but for this week,
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: we've we've had a sick bug in our house. I
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: haven't left the house this week, so it's probably for
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: the best that I met my transfers early so I
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: couldn't sit and ponder over them. But I've used it
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: to kind of really refocus and I'm going to tell
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: my season around, guys. Just you wait famously again, Jesse,
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: You'll be kipping that up when I'm bottomed by about
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: a hundred points.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: Okay, I mean you already bought them me. I just
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: just wanted to put.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: Out but I wasn't overnight the other night. I wasn't.
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but you are now, jee Do.
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: You always do this ahead of me?
• 25:32
  Speaker 3: There's four points once four, it's four more than zero.
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: You know what sounded like? You know you were Jews.
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: I had a good week for once, all right, glorious.
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: I was on Saturday night. You was so happy what
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: she's strictly come dancing? And I just love that. I
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: love that.
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: I was on a train back from Glenn Murray, who
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: was also talking about his transfers a few weeks ago
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: as well. If anyone's interested, Okay, moving on from this
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: is just all going to get played back to me.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: When my season doesn't pick up and I've finished.
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: It will be.
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: I hope so.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: And it would be a perfect time in the season
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: for it to pick up, because we're about to hit
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: the festive fixture fun schedule as I like to call it.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: There are ninety Premier League fixtures, guys, in the next
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: forty five days. That doesn't mean there's one every other
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: day of course, because a lot of them on the
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: same day. It just means there is a lot of football.
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: There is a lot for us to consider in fo
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: There's also going to be a lot of FBL pod
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: because I feel my diary is filled up with the
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: head of all of these midweek deadlines as well, including
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: a lovely Monday seven am one cheers guys for that anyway,
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: that'll be next week by the way, if you do
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: want to listen, there'll be a pod in your feed
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: Monday lunchtime. Anyway. This Jewels is where the FPL talent,
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: planning and vision is really going to show, isn't it.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely make sure that own. Yeah, everybody has talent,
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: we know that. But what you can have is planning,
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: that's for sure. Vision atibatable. Yeah, vision you can see,
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: but do you really see talent some of you listeners
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: and watchers that just last course.
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: But you can plan. So let's plan. Do your little
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: spreadsheets that we said, like.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: You know those documents with the games, Yeah, some played
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: in Europe obviously and even that we so with Spurs
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: and Chelsea, there's a lot of rotation there, So it
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: doesn't mean that because eighteen players in Europe, you have
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: to worry too much about the rotation that could happen
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: in the Premier League prior to that game or after
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: that game either, because as we know Chelsea have a
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: beat team for the Conference League, Spurs usually changed quite
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: a lot as well. Okay, maybe not tonight as we
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: record this, because it's Roma, it's bigg but usually the
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: teams that they're facing the Europe League for now, you
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: can do with changing half of your team easily. So yeah,
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: for the team to I in Europe, you'll have to
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: be a bit more careful and just check the fitness
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: of everybody, little niggles and things like that. But but
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: really it's small when you would come down to all
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: the games in the Christmas period for the Premier League,
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: where you would expect managers, especially maybe in top top
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: teams to do a bit more rotation than usual because
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: they would play so much game at that time.
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: So I think that's where you have to be careful.
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's quite interesting because we use the word congestion
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: a lot. I know it's been very topical with Premier
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: League players at the moment as well. Just to put
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: it all into contextween now on the fourth of January
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: eight game weeks for us to navigate. Also, as yours mentioned,
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: European football is two rounds of that if you include
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: the round currently in play, plus there's League Cup matches.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: So there's going to be nine teams who only only
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: have eight Premier League fixtures between now and game week twenty.
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: They are Bournemouth, Brighton, Eviton, Fulham, Ipswich, Leicester, Forest west
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: Ham and Wolves. Sam's done this matter for us? These
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: teams will play a game every five point two five days.
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: I don't really know what that means. I mean they
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: only get a quarter of a day's rest.
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: It just means that they get they get the longest
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: rest period between their matches.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Thank you for translating. There are four teams who have
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: nine fixtures in this period Brentford, Palace, Newcastle and Southampton.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: They will play a game every four point six six
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: days or so that they get two thirds four and
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: two thirds of a day. So they're the next the
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: next least rest is that, right? Sam? Yep? Yep? There
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: are three teams with ten fixtures Biller, Chelsea and Man City.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: They will have a fixture every four point two days. Finally,
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: there are four teams who have eleven games in this
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: period Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United and Spurs. These four teams
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: will play a game every three point eight one days
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: and yes, you guessed it, they actually officially have the
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: least rest as a remarkable wasn't less than four days
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: between every game? Firstly, what does this mean for us
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: as FPL managers other than the fact Sam, that's going
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: to be rotation? Isn't that?
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: I think that's what it means and I don't think so.
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: Some people will say you shouldn't invest, but in reality,
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: see if you look at these teams, the ones with
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: ten fixtures or eleven fixtures, they are the teams that
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: you'd want to invest in. It's the Cities, the Chelseas,
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: the Liverpools, the Arsenals, well bracket Spurs in there as well,
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: just because you know I always want to invest in Spurs.
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: Those are the teams that you want to invest in,
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: so and those are the ones that are most likely
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: to get you FPL points, so you're not going to
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: not invest in them. But it also does mean I
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: think for me, the festive period is just about having
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: the bench working for you. It's about making sure that
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: as far as you can, the three players that are
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: on your bench actually play, and if there's rotation, which
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: there will be over Christmas, that you have a decent
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: option to come off the bench. And that was part
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: of the reason why I wild Card did when I did,
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: because my bench was in absolute disarray and I knew
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: coming into this period that I could not have non
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: starting players or players that had been loaned out somewhere
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: else in Europe sitting on my bench because it only
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: takes for you know, there to be a nice fixture.
• 30:55
  Speaker 4: And that's the thing is, you'll look at some of
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: the fixtures that these teams have over Christmas and maybe go, oh,
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: that looks like a really nice fixture to attack, and
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: then players either may get a full rest or more
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: likely they might come off early if they're winning their game.
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: So just make sure that your bench can cover any rotation.
• 31:09
  Speaker 4: I think that's the key thing.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: Here, Yeah, which is a large part of the reason
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: I can't keep having Cavaluin as my first sub. I've
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: got an Ipswich player on my bench who has come
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: back from injury now, I think. But it's so important,
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: isn't it? Jells a Premier League manager, Sorry, are going
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: to need depth and we probably are as well, aren't we,
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: And we're going to have to I know we do
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: it a lot with Manchester City. It feels like trying
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: to guess who's going to play. Look at the last
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: fixture in the Champions League for man City for example,
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: and try and work out is Rico lewis going to
• 31:34
  Speaker 1: start this weekend for example. This is undrum. I'm going
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: to have a lot, but it's going to be a
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: lot of guesswork, but also a lot of educated guesses
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: as well.
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: I think yeah, And also I think you have to
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: pay with more attention of what's happening.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: You can't watch every single game all the time. I
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: get that.
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: But if somebody comes off after sixty minutes, for example,
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: let's say an Arsenal player like Ghosts is less likely,
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: but let's think I have it.
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: For example, who I own.
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: If he plays an there, you know that three days
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: later he would start again.
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: Because this is part of the plan.
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: This is all the data that all those managers have
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: in terms of fitness of their own players and how
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: much you can give them for that game if you
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: want him to start three days later in the next
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: premierlegue game.
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: It's very important.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: And then on the same hand, you also know that
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: if somebody plays nineteen minutes in a tough game or
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: with a lot of activity, could be a midfielder something
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: like that, then you'll have to be a little you
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: just have to be a bit worried that for the
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: next game three days later, the guy might be on
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: the bench for his team.
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: So this is also part of.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: The fund And to be fair, we won't know, and
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: sometimes even some managers don't know until the morning of
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: their own game. So it's just not even being like
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: trying to work it out. It's just that sometimes there
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: are things that nobody can control, not even promitic managers.
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: It's also important, isn't it. Plan it transfers wisely. And
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: also deadlines. I mean, I've said it on this podcast
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: for Alarm Setter to remind myself of deadlines just in
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: case I do forget. But we're at that time of
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: year where you can laugh all you like, because let's
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: be honest, we all get pretty distracted. It's a different one.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: I've changed it now. It used to be the same
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: one that woke me in the morning. But I realized
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: that was a bit traumatized because I associated with that
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: horrible feeling of when you're woken up in the morning.
• 33:21
  Speaker 1: So it's just it's just an inane now, there is nothing,
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: nothing very.
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: I was just wondering if you had something special.
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: It doesn't go talent planning vision, I don't.
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: Jingle yeah, please do that.
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: And then every time there's a deadline, it would just
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: be you shouting at be hilarious, not.
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: What any coming from my phone, thank you very much.
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: But on a serious note, it is things like that,
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: like it's just going to come so thick and fast,
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: isn't it.
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you've got to watch out for those deadlines and
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: like we've got Friday ones, we've got Tuesday ones, we've
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: got random days of the week. Those are the deadlines
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: that will catch out a lot of the managers who
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: aren't really on it. So make sure that you're one
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: of those managers that gets left behind because they've forgotten that.
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: As far as you can listen carefully to the press conferences,
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: because if the managers give us some insight, that's going
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: to be really super helpful. At this point in the season,
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: as many talisman as possible in your team because they're
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: the ones that are less likely. Doesn't mean they're not
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: going to be rotated, but they're less likely to be
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: so I think it's just planning as much as you can.
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: If you can keep transfers, keep them because I think
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: you might get some insight, particularly in those midweek matches
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: when you've got lots of games all kicking off at
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: the same time. It's always handy to just have those
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: transfers so that you can react to any press conference
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: news that the managers come up with and try not
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: to waste the transfers. And that's why I did not
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: enjoy making a transfer on Saturday night. I hate that.
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: I hate reacting before the game week's ended, particularly as
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: I knew that I had so many of my players
• 34:52
  Speaker 4: playing in midweek. It was just like, if one of
• 34:55
  Speaker 4: them goes and gets injured, and I'm still not out
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: of the woods with that yet because obviously we've still
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: got United and Spurs. I don't have any Chelsea players
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: that are playing in Europe because I have Parma and
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: he doesn't play, so but my man uniting and Spurs
• 35:08
  Speaker 4: assets will play tonight and that's a risk, so just
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: be aware of it, and try not to do what
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: Kelly and I have done. Try and be patient with
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: those transfers and make them towards the deadline.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: Don't tell me for ages. I've been told that I
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: make transfers too late. Now you're trying to telling me
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: that I'm making But Kelly, I think we're here.
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: But it was risky, and I also think that you're like, actually,
• 35:27
  Speaker 4: your strategy, your usual strategy during the festive period, the
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: right one, because the deadlines are quick, they're thick and.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: Fast, and well, you can't we won't have I wouldn't
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: have the luxury, if you like, of making a transfer
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: six days before the next deadline. Those deadlines are not
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: going to exist.
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: Are like the gaps. Yeah, yeah, because you know we've
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: got obviously Friday and then again on Tuesday, so you're
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: going to have to.
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: I enjoyed being a forward thinking, clever manager while at
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: last Week Next Week service eleven am, Yes, we love it. Okay,
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: then we've actually spoken. Won't surprise any regular listeners to
• 36:05
  Speaker 1: hear me say this. We've spoken too much at this
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: point of the pod. Let's try and rattle through. I
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: reckon that's probably the most used phrase that I saw
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: on this podcasts let's rattle through.
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: We never do.
• 36:14
  Speaker 1: We're useless at rattling. Let's look at the teams that
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: have the best fixtures then over those periods. We touched
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: upon this a couple of weeks ago, but obviously as
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: each week goes on, the ticket changes slightly. So between
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: now and game week nineteen, Arsenal our top, followed by
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: Brighton Wolves, Chelsea, Bournemouth, Spurs and Newcastle. Let's start with
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: Arsenal Jewels. Are they back?
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah? I think the bag.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: I think that's what Martin other guard's returning those for.
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: You.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: Really you can see just the flow of their game
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: and what he brings and brings so much. We mentioned
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: him last week already. If you can't go to Sakai,
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: if you don't have that budget, then you can have
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: March another guard as well as a replacement, and that
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: we do really really nicely.
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: So double up, triple up, trouble up, even triple trouble.
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: Whether on Arshal players have a defender, yeah, maybe a
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: defender and an attacker have right, a defender and maybe
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: two two going forward if you can't afford for them,
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: because it looks like they really have them.
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Sam, we're Soccarnas. I'm not. He's not. I'm not
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: my Teamcarna. This is bad. Normally have all your teams
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: up in front me. So I'm the only one with
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: the talent, planning vision to have soccer in my team
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: on this pod.
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: I hate I hate it.
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: Not having time to get you can't have everyone either.
• 37:25
  Speaker 3: Come on, like, you know, she doesn't have an Arsenal attack.
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: But if you don't do it, can't do it for you.
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: So I've got the money to do that. I've also
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: got the money to go from soccer to MB so
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: I sent a butt the way around. Well, so there
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: were two, so I this is a massive spoiler alert
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: for the transfer section, so.
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: I would probably have to rattle through.
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: That's okay. So I very nearly on Saturday night took
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: her minus four to do jal Pedro Socca and Gabrielle
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: in for Bruno, Gvardio and Strand Lawson. So that very
• 38:01
  Speaker 4: nearly happened, and then I was just like, I don't
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: think I can go early on Arsenal given the one
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: they had the Champions League game to play. Two I
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: hadn't seen Bruno play yet. On Saturday and I was
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: like sorry on Sunday, and I thought, I don't know
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: if I want to sell Bruno because I can also
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: go from Enbomo, whose fixtures changed massively after this week.
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: So maybe I actually preferred to hold Bruno and have
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: a midfield that's got Bruno, Socca, Salah and Palma rather
• 38:32
  Speaker 4: than losing Bruno. So there were so many unknowns that
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: I basically didn't do it. I am going to bring
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: in another Arsenal defender this week, I think with my
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: other transfer, so I'll have Reya and an Arsenal defender.
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: I'm probably going to go Timber and then Soccer will
• 38:48
  Speaker 4: come in for game week fourteen.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: Okay, but Geors, you just can't. You've got to have
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: us to cover him off.
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: That's your person. Yeah, So are.
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: You're going to stick with so? Yeah? So you're just
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: going to stick with the too any temptation to travel up?
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: It would be Ria really in good because my keepers
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: have been terrible like I've been.
• 39:07
  Speaker 4: You've got Henderson, right.
• 39:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I've got Henderson, but he's still not good enough
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: for me. It's just like Samers send me.
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: Why did you get him? I've been raving about how
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: bad he's been for me, and then you went there.
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: Because it was the only one I could really afford
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: that he was playing, really since my is on the
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: notice step, you know, and on the bench.
• 39:25
  Speaker 3: So not that hour, I was much better.
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I can't go to Riyot, but I think
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: if I could, I would probably go to Ryat for
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: my third Arsenal friend was.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: Telling me that Gabrielle's knock that forced him off is.
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, okay, but he needs to learn how to
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: do the your Caress Bain celebration because it was all
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: a bit like if you don't really know where to
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: put his hand.
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: It was all a bit like it was just, yeah,
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: he should be fine.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'm saying that as if you're obviously obviously it's
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: it's a little bit scary when you have friends an
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: Arsenal defender, a premium player and they go off with
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: a knock in the Champions League in midweek. So yeah,
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: he's currently flagged. So I mean, I'll listen to Michel
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: Arteta's press conference. But as we see waters about soccer
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: in the past, he likes to keep us guessing, doesn't he,
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: And I don't blame him really to be honest, Why
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: should he give you the opposition team news away? Okay, well
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: so you or should we be targeting them? So I
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: know we did go through some of these teams next week,
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: so I'm kind of gonna let you guys guide where
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: this discussion goes. Who do you think? So?
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: I mean, I think, actually, if you look at the
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: top of the ticker, doubling or preferably treppling up on
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: Arsenal makes a lot of sense. Brighton are a team
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: that I would really like to double up on, but
• 40:35
  Speaker 4: I can't quite work out how because jack Heed Joe
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: is the obvious one, so cheap put fits perfectly into
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: that front three. I think the issue with doubling is
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: who is the other Where would you go? Because Matoma,
• 40:48
  Speaker 4: I think, feels like the next best option, but he
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: takes up a midfielder slot. And we've been talking all
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: this time about how like we've got all these premium
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: massets in midfield, it's really hard to fit Matoma in there.
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: I don't think you'd go with defender unless you went
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: for Van Heck, or maybe you go for the brogun
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: and goal. Maybe that's the option. It's really tough. Actually,
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: it's really hard to know how to invest in Brighton,
• 41:12
  Speaker 4: So I think jud Pego and then one other if
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: you can fit them in. Double up on Wolves Kunya
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: eight Norri still feel like a Norri is the right one. Chelsea,
• 41:21
  Speaker 4: I double up on them as well. Like I know
• 41:23
  Speaker 4: you were just saying you didn't want to do that, Cols,
• 41:25
  Speaker 4: but I actually think that you could go Palmer and
• 41:28
  Speaker 4: Jackson feels like a really nice combo. I also think
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: like Mallow Gustin missed game week twelve through illness, but
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: I still really like him as a pick, Like, I
• 41:37
  Speaker 4: think he could be a really nice option moving forward.
• 41:40
  Speaker 4: So there'd be the teams that I'd be looking to
• 41:42
  Speaker 4: have more than one player from I think over the
• 41:44
  Speaker 4: next few weeks.
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: George, Liverpool actually quite far down if you take a
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: look at the ticket, they're all the way down in thirteenth.
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: But it's because we've said this work before about the ticket.
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: It's often skewed by certain fixtures at man City this
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: weekend and then Spurs in seventeen. So is this where
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: you actually don't pay as much tension to the ticker
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: as such A Liverpool in such good form Madrid last
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: night as well, that you just have to double or
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: triple up on them. Regardless.
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: They also have Newcastle aware, which I just don't think
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: especially for.
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: Big, big teams.
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: Yes, Arsenal lost over there, City drew over there, so
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: it's it's not easy that They've got the Derby. Okay,
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: Everton with your friend Dominica lewin another very good but
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: but it's still the Derby. And last season they lost
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: the Everton which crossed them massively in the title title race.
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: So just the whole like the.
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: City Newcastle Derby combo presents Spurs not that far after
• 42:36
  Speaker 2: that either, and the Spurs team that on that they
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: can beat anyone and get beaten by anyone too, but
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: still can beat anyone.
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: It's yeah, I'm sure, so one one is one is
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: good for Liverpool. You can always have two.
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: You can have Karanate and Sala van Dyke and Salah still,
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: of course you can because they are that good and
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: they can also win all those games without conceding and
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: scoring two or three in each.
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: So but yeah, those those those pictures are okay.
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: Just to quick check in on the suspension tight trope
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: as we like to call it, as I alluded to
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: before Semno is suspended, for game week thirteen. He got
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: his fifth yellow card of the season in game week twelve.
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: Believe we've got two yellow cards in game week twelve,
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: so he'll be out. Kudas and Beninker of course, remain suspended.
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: There's some more popular fel picks as well who are
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: getting very close. Jules Jackson isn't far away from suspension,
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: Martinez and for me as well, eight Nori all one
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: more booking away from suspension. Okay, you know the drill
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: by Now we have no time left on the pod,
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: but we have to do the differentials. Off you go,
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: Jewels and not going to mention last week because you
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: both failed.
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: Again mine was mine? Was it?
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: At least three guys times of yessence?
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: So I'll go first. Yeah, I mean some mentioned him already.
• 43:49
  Speaker 2: A little bit in a potential transfer, but I think
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: Julian Timber that's the one I had and.
• 43:55
  Speaker 4: I don't have a backup.
• 43:58
  Speaker 1: You're doing a joint right, Okay? Enjoined differential this week?
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: Okay the other guard and I was always say, oh
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: the guy I'm doing that, I'm doing a Sam bondfield
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: by picking like a superstar player. That just because he
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: got injured, that just because he was injured before. That's
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: the only reason why he's loan ownership four point five percent.
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: It will still go through eight point two millions, so
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: that's expensive. But he has changed this team so massively.
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: He's still so so good involved in everything.
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: You see the wayson play, it's just a lot on
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: that right hand side because it's him. So the other guy,
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: especially as a SACA replacement for example, would be perfect some.
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: Let me guess for yours is do you know?
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: And I even said last night as I was making
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: this these notes, I was like, it's just a risk
• 44:42
  Speaker 4: just doing one and it being an Arsenal player. But anyway, well,
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: I think he's going to be my transferring this week
• 44:48
  Speaker 4: as well, so I'm going for Timber five point five.
• 44:51
  Speaker 4: He's only owned by two percent of the game, had
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: a goal disallowed against Forresting in twelve that marginal off side,
• 44:56
  Speaker 4: and then obviously gets the assist in the Champions League
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: the team with the best clean sheet potential this week,
• 45:02
  Speaker 4: and I think you know, since returning from injurying game
• 45:06
  Speaker 4: week nine, he's top of crosses of the Arsenal defenders.
• 45:08
  Speaker 4: He's also created more chances than all the other Arsenal defenders,
• 45:11
  Speaker 4: and he's had more attentional goal than all the other
• 45:14
  Speaker 4: Arsenal defenders, so I think there's potential for returns at
• 45:17
  Speaker 4: both ends of the pitch with him this week.
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: Okay, lovely very Arsenal themed differentials this week. Okay captain
• 45:22
  Speaker 1: and see guys, this is a tough one this week.
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: I don't know who I'm captaining Jewels definitely won't Sam,
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: you go first.
• 45:30
  Speaker 4: It's a straight fifty to fifty for me between Palmer
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: and Salah. I'm tempted to just stick with Salah, but
• 45:36
  Speaker 4: I do like the fixture for Palmer more.
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: I also quite like the fixture of a guy Sokka
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: as well with him Wes, you know, and I'm just
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: throwing him in. I know neither of you orkinsit him.
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: Who are you going with, Jewels?
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: So I think if you have is the best big
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: by far, even a way out west. I think Villa
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: will go to the Bridge and be quite strong defensively
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: against Chelsea and then the City.
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: Liverpool can go either way. You just don't know.
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: So I think I think Salah for me is between
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: Harland and Salah, like pretty much every week, and I
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: think Salah at home. You have to beg on him
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: more than Harland Away.
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: So if you had soccer, would you go for him? Sam? Yeah, definitely, Okay, Yeah,
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: I think I will go for Soca this week. And
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: this is good because all of our teams are different.
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: We've got a bit of difference on them, and hopefully
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: I can get those four points, huge four points to
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: get above Joe's. Sam, I'm got that far ahead, like
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: fifty points. It's about seven good chip usages away. But
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: I've used much of a captain, remember, and you have.
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: That's very true.
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's very true. Okay, So transfers you Sam, you've
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: mentioned yours Joe's if you've done anything. I can't remember
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: if you've mentioned if.
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: Lewis harl came in last week, not that I mean
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: to be fair, he had. I thought he had a
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: good game on Mondn and could have returned easily and
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: going forwards. So i' the last week from by as
• 46:57
  Speaker 2: much as I love him, because it's Lester. After that,
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: I'll sell him, so I might. I might just keeping
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: roll on and have three the following week.
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: So what is nice having three? This is the first
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: time I've ever had three, and it does just give
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: you a little bit of freedom. It feels like even
• 47:12
  Speaker 1: doing those two transfers at the weekend, I could have
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: done three, but it just gives you that little bit
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: of ok I can do these early ones, and I've
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: got like an emergency one, don't. I'd love to hold
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: one of them, but sorry, Dominic, you've got to become
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: sure how my boys were Okay, then that's where we
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: will leave it.
• 47:29
  Speaker 3: Guys.
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: Thank you as always. Jewel's got on a five a
• 47:32
  Speaker 1: M train, the hero that he is this morning, so i'd.

  Speaker 3: For you guys anyway. So shows have you got?
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: I've got two more now and then I fly to
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: side the Arabia. So you know, it's a hell of.
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: Gosh.
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: It never stops, does it. And Samuel off out for
• 47:49
  Speaker 1: your mum's birthdays. Happy birthday to say, mommy Bombfield. But
• 47:52

• 47:58
  Speaker 4: So I'm very excited about that.
• 48:03
  Speaker 1: No no, no, I'm meant to rattle through and I've
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: started with faking insults here.
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: I'm joking.
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: Have a great day, do you aways, have a safe flight,
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: and thank you, as always at home for listening. Reminder,
• 48:12

• 48:16
  Speaker 1: Last week's script. By the way, I was about to
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: tell your deadline is eleven am on Saturday. Would have
• 48:19
  Speaker 1: been into so much trouble. I got up last week's
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: script to check which teams we spoke about most, and
• 48:24
  Speaker 1: then I have just been reading last week's script.
• 48:26
  Speaker 4: To be fair, I think I've left last week's outo
• 48:28
  Speaker 4: in the script. I don't think i'm updated cash.
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah you have, actually, but I know that there is
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: Friday night football. Thankfully there is Friday night football, and
• 48:35
  Speaker 1: that means a deadline. Is it six o'clock or six thirty?
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: Always get to be six thirty. It's an eight o'clock kickoff?
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: Isn't it six thirty? Gosh, it's good job. This is
• 48:41
  Speaker 1: the end of the podcast, isn't it. There's going to
• 48:43
  Speaker 1: be off this No I do. I've already said it

• 48:55
  Speaker 1: Guys aren't.
