GW9: If I Could Turn Back Time I Ep: 109 · Draft Offsides Podcast

0:00
I'd rather there's things that are very gross I'd rather do
0:02
than paint, you know, I'd rather like clean pipes.
0:07
I don't know, like key pipes. Should we get into it?
0:10
Yeah, that was too easy, but OK. Hello and welcome to episode 109
0:15
of Draft Offsides. I'm with Tico and Enzo.
0:17
My name is Keith. Game week 8 is in the book.
0:21
Or is it game week 9? Game week 8, right?
0:23
It's all becoming a blur. It's all becoming a blur.
0:29
Who Who won their weeks? Who lost their weeks?
0:31
I went one-on-one with our leagues.
0:33
How'd you guys do I? Went to.
0:36
I went to Tika. How much?
0:37
What are you? A dominating 210.
0:40
OK, but one of your two and OS you scored like 81.5 points.
0:44
The guy you were playing score 81 points.
0:45
I would not call that dominating.
0:47
It was a come from behind and we did what we had to do.
0:50
We took care of business. Yeah, and who we as Ego, Igor or
0:53
Tiago, right? A person who I discovered last
0:55
year. Hell yeah.
0:57
You think they dropped him? That's right.
0:58
He was injured already drafted him and dropped.
1:01
Love it. Yeah, my.
1:03
Mom, who's been amazing this year, by the way.
1:05
He's been great. He's been like he's the real
1:06
deal. I'm on A2 game losing streak in
1:09
our in our main league. I was five and one.
1:11
Now I'm five. I'm dropped to five and three.
1:12
Not not nice, but both games I scored over 100 and I, I, I the
1:16
first week I played against Semania, that monster game this
1:19
week I played against Mateta. So it's kind of like.
1:21
You can't really do anything. It's all about the matchups at
1:23
that point. Why?
1:24
We already know that, so yeah. Well, you're also in scary
1:29
territory. You're in second place, but
1:31
you're only what, 17 points ahead of third place?
1:34
And you guys have the same record.
1:36
And Sergei who has the most points is like a game behind so
1:39
another bad week could drop you like 2 spots.
1:42
I know it's another bad week. We'll see.
1:44
We'll see how that's that's the beauty of it that we saw
1:45
earlier, only we're not even a quarter of the way through yet.
1:48
What can I say though, the main league is so tight still I
1:51
guess. Well, besides, I know the bomb
1:52
the top. Yeah, a 10 man.
1:53
Yeah, a 10 man league is so tight like the there's no one
1:56
running away with it at all. Not yet, not.
1:59
Yet well, Harlan. How are you guys doing in the
2:02
other league standing wise? Oh, I think you know Tico.
2:05
I think you stare at it all the time.
2:07
Tico's seven and one in our other league, but he has maybe
2:10
one of the lowest total points scored.
2:13
Yes, that's the. Middle very.
2:14
Middle of the road Very. Middle of the road.
2:16
Very mediocre points, right? Yeah.
2:19
So we'll see. We'll see how that shakes out.
2:21
OK, nothing about us. Let's get into the news and
2:23
notes. Biggest thing probably is big.
2:26
The big and shocking. Dude, 39 days.
2:29
Daish is supposedly Daish is supposedly coming in is that is
2:31
that it's. Already it's already gone
2:32
through. Here we go, Hunter.
2:35
From here we go. Here we go.
2:38
Does that does that mean that like Milankovitch and Marillo
2:42
are back on defensive on the menu?
2:44
As I said for defensive the defence is back.
2:46
And it's funny because then majority of the attacking I
2:50
would say was not good. But wood, wood is back in the
2:53
frame. That's that's a dice striker up
2:55
there up top. You think what you think?
2:59
Yeah. I mean, I only got the start in
3:01
in in his last game, in Angie's last game.
3:04
But yeah, I can't imagine he continues that I could.
3:07
I mean, dice, you never know. Like I come out some adoy like
3:10
those guys like that I'm not that excited about until I see
3:12
what happens there, because I think there's going to be it's
3:14
going to be a little bit of a shake out.
3:15
He's going to like. Who knows, he's going to play 5
3:16
in the back. Man, he's going to play 5 in the
3:19
back. He's going.
3:19
To play 5 in the back. Well Adoyo was dropped because
3:22
of and he dropped him. He didn't start a single game
3:25
once and he took over. So that's someone else to see if
3:27
he gets back in the rotation or not.
3:29
But are. You holding on to adoy?
3:31
No, I dropped him. I dropped him.
3:33
Yeah, so essentially I gave away.
3:34
So beside forward nothing. Ouch.
3:37
But I mean, at the same time, like I needed a forward, but I
3:40
was lucky with Kevin and, you know, some other pieces.
3:44
The one thing is like you feel bad for Gibbs White, the yeah
3:47
third manager and like he could have been, I mean like taught
3:50
some such a huge upgrade, but you know, could have been a
3:52
Tottenham it. Could have been a Tottenham I.
3:53
Mean he would have been, he would have been doing well at
3:55
Tottenham. They definitely could have used
3:56
him just in that in that whole, you know, yeah, I think that
4:00
yeah, Gibbs White is. It'll be interesting to see like
4:02
what he does on this in a in a Shawn Desh team.
4:05
Like, I just don't really. It's been a minute since Shawn
4:07
Desh was in the league. I kind of forget like what?
4:09
Like how he kind of. Defensive.
4:11
Wants how he runs it defensive, but is there is there like 1 is
4:14
there like 1 attacking player that's like the fulcrum kind of
4:16
like you know, like how dancehard was for Brentford last
4:19
year where everything kind of goes through.
4:20
In that case, Gibbs white might be like a trade target, but I
4:23
just don't quite remember exactly.
4:25
I need to go back and look at how how Daesh operates.
4:29
He plays a defensive counter attack with a big amount up
4:32
front with long balls so. I mean, it's more suited to what
4:38
the Forrest was doing beforehand, you know, agreed
4:41
before it, before Ange came in. So I think like, yeah, I think I
4:43
think there's a chance that like comments in a door and some of
4:45
these like speedy guys, Ian Hutchinson or sorry, Amara
4:49
Hutchinson, the guys like that can come in and like be effect,
4:52
be effective on some. Level.
4:53
Yeah, I I agree. But as like counter attacking
4:55
pieces. But it's.
4:57
Like swoon bus guys, I think. It's going to take a couple
4:59
weeks to see who's going to come out of this, as you know, we'll
5:02
see because I, I know Wood, I don't know if Wood's going to
5:04
get any assists. He's going to some balls through
5:06
flick ONS and whatnot. He's going to be look very
5:08
direct. There's going to be balls in the
5:10
box so he can battle for it, correct?
5:11
Yeah, that makes sense. The other big piece of news is
5:15
that the Cole Palmer groin injury is now extended to six
5:18
weeks. That created some chaos and
5:21
controversy in our league with the Cole Palmer guy trading
5:24
away. Cole Palmer and what was it?
5:26
What did you end up being for? Is like Doku and someone else.
5:30
Douglas Louise No, He who got dropped.
5:33
He dropped Douglas Louise, but you got Jack PO.
5:35
Oh, hamsters. So you got Jack PO and Doku?
5:37
That's right. Gakku and Goku for Cole Palmer
5:39
did you got? I actually thought that was.
5:41
Fine, I thought it was a fighter.
5:42
Missing six weeks, missing six weeks, you don't know how karma
5:45
is going to be when you get back.
5:46
You're getting Gakbo, who has been pretty darn good.
5:49
Like Gakwa could have had a hot chick in that United game.
5:51
You know, that looks solid. Doku.
5:54
I mean, I think the one things with Dakwa and Doku is that
5:56
they're both a little unpredictable.
5:57
Gakwa more so from the fact like is he going to start and Doku
6:01
from the fact yeah I guess both like are they going?
6:02
To start, well, I feel out of the three out of the two though,
6:05
I feel like Doku should begin to start more than because of the
6:08
thing with Gekpo is because you've got Ekka, TK and E sector
6:11
and you want to try. But I think Isaac is going to
6:14
have to start. Like Atiko is the one that was
6:17
on form. So I think he should be playing
6:18
instead of on the left. But then have you?
6:22
But how do you keep out? So I I think the way that trade,
6:25
like the fairness of it is if both of those players played
6:27
that any match the same game week, then you're better off
6:30
than having Cole Palmer. But if only one of them plays,
6:33
it's kind of like Sergei put in the chat he offered Pedro and
6:37
Robinson. Which Pedro, Pedro Neto, Gio.
6:41
Pedro, Pedro, Pedro Pedro. If there was a Pedro I was
6:46
offered, I think he has. Gio Pedro, Pedro and Robinson.
6:51
I'm surprised. I'm surprised the guy like Cole
6:53
Palmer didn't go for that. I think I think the one reason
6:56
is because it seems like Gio Pedro has really dropped off
6:58
since Cole Palmer hasn't been in the team.
6:59
So I think that that I think they're.
7:02
But I think he was playing to Tom's top, you know,
7:05
heartstrings pulling his heartstrings because it was an
7:07
American player, the Chelsea player.
7:09
The thing that frustrated me the most about this trade is Tom
7:13
made it clear he wants there to be fab.
7:14
Chaos is like who will give me all the fab?
7:17
There was no fab involved in this trade.
7:18
That's what pissed me off I. Didn't it was juicy enough that
7:21
he just. Was going to say it I guess and
7:23
and Thomas was never going to trade with you regardless.
7:26
I've traded with him like the most.
7:27
Oh really? Yeah, I traded with him this
7:29
year. There's me and there's me.
7:30
I'm on. I'm not an official.
7:31
Oh, that's right. You're on the trade.
7:32
You're on the trade, but I'm on a trade.
7:34
Yeah. He will not trade.
7:35
You know, the next, you know, I love about Thomas, he's just
7:37
stirring the the fucking pot and he's done this whole thing about
7:40
the pod versus the rest of the league right now.
7:43
Which I fucking, well, I told you he literally is.
7:45
He is a Sith Lord. Like that's his level of hatred
7:48
for like things and people. He just hates things so much and
7:51
he'd rather see the world burn. But he he loved the pod so much.
7:54
The 1st. I think he's, I think he like
7:57
love. He loves to hate it, you know?
7:59
He he he still likes the pod, he just doesn't like so.
8:03
He so he's Anakin Skywalker. Yeah, he's.
8:06
Definitely. He's definitely Anakin.
8:08
He's in his Darth Vader. Maybe he's the chosen one this
8:10
year. We'll see.
8:10
OK, moving on, let's go to the matches.
8:13
Starting off the the big one, United 2 pool one.
8:16
The Liverpool skid continues. That's three in a row.
8:18
Tika, you feeling good? You feeling confident?
8:21
I'm feeling great, but it's I think it's five and all
8:24
competitions, no. What do you mean?
8:26
For Liverpool losses. Oh, is it 5 in all?
8:29
Oh. But in the league.
8:30
I'm pulling it up in the league, 123444 and all competitions,
8:36
yeah. And honestly, like we, I know
8:39
we, we said this W7, we were repeating ourselves, but they
8:41
were scoring goals late to win games and now it's just on.
8:44
I think they've just tweaked that front four too much.
8:48
They. OK, still scored to go late.
8:50
They scored to go late, but it wasn't enough.
8:51
OK, well, you guys like my I, I tweeted this and again, like no
8:54
one, no one liked my tweets, but I think they're funny.
8:56
So I'm going to say it again on here.
8:57
Did salad get his talent sucked out by the monstars like in NBA
9:01
jam? That's that's literally what it
9:03
feels like. It feels like he's he's still
9:05
getting in good positions. And just like, did you see that
9:07
that that the pause chancy out at the end of the game?
9:09
No, the chance he had at the end of the game where he missed a
9:11
couple of passes. It just feels like he's all
9:13
those things last year would have like went off.
9:15
Yeah, like Gakko had. Not happening.
9:17
Gakko would have given him a goal contribution to be hit Dan
9:20
Hill. Yeah, everything just solid.
9:22
Just like it's not going his way.
9:23
How much of solid struggles do you guys think it's from Trent
9:27
not being there? I, I think there's a lot of
9:29
pieces, I think Trent not being there, there was a guy on
9:31
Twitter who was commenting. Actually there was there was a
9:33
guy that commented on that post and he was like, it's actually
9:35
because like Luis Diaz last year would like like all these
9:39
players that were there were like finished.
9:40
He's like subpar chances that Salah was creating and giving
9:43
him a lot of opportunities. And players like Darwin Nunez,
9:45
as much as he like didn't score and stuff like create a lot of
9:47
space. Yeah, you know what I mean?
9:49
Like the way that he makes these runs and was creating space for
9:51
Salah. I think the Trent thing that you
9:53
said, he goes huge. I think there's a lot of
9:54
factors. Yeah.
9:55
And I don't know if Arnie slots doing enough to like adjusting
9:59
enough. You know what I mean?
10:00
Right now, maybe. But you'll give Amarin his
10:03
flowers though. He's got 2 packs back.
10:05
Man, you got two wins first. First time ever, Emerin.
10:08
Yeah, got it. You got it.
10:10
Right, that guy. Have you guys seen that guy on
10:12
Instagram? That's yeah, yeah.
10:15
But so he needs to get. That's crazy.
10:17
I think that you know you're going to win three in a row.
10:20
Three more in a row. Three more in a row.
10:22
I wonder if it has to be in the EPL or just in general.
10:24
I think he's clarified that. I remember what he said the
10:26
other way. Can we also just comment on
10:28
Harry Maguire, the attacking juggernaut?
10:30
Harry McGuire, the the, the friggin final, final plan.
10:34
You know what I mean? Just the final.
10:37
Like, might as well throw him up front.
10:39
You could you could do something.
10:40
Suck it. It kind of reminds me.
10:42
It's like you get in the box with Harry McGuire.
10:43
He's like, I'm not trapped in here with you, you're trapped
10:46
with me. Yeah, yeah.
10:49
He's just a beast in the air. It's crazy to watch.
10:52
So just real quick on his last six goals have been either
10:57
game-winning or game tying goals.
10:59
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
11:00
And a lot of them have been after like the 80th minute,
11:03
we'll see stoppage time and then he just has 1 into 47 and
11:06
against IFS and they're. Working on a new contract for
11:08
him. You know I love about this.
11:10
Show as they should. Yeah.
11:11
Yeah, I say. Sure.
11:11
As they should. He's there.
11:12
He's the one that highest value players.
11:16
How is he? How is he managing as in a as a
11:18
fantasy asset? I haven't looked.
11:20
It's also like it we talked about players not being
11:22
professional, creating a shit show.
11:23
Like it's just his professionalism when then how he
11:27
just kind of benched him, took away his the captain badge and
11:29
he's like, no, I want to stay here and fight for position and
11:31
fight for the team. So kind of respect that a lot
11:34
about Harry McGuire as well. OK, he's at three starts and
11:38
those starts his, his points are 18.5, two, .75 and 21.
11:43
He hasn't been going to assist in those three starts as well.
11:45
Yeah, I think it's a matter of getting him, getting him
11:47
playing. I think that we're talking about
11:50
Liverpool and the struggles they had.
11:53
I think at the end of the day you'll see that recognize that
11:55
like their XG was like almost, it was like 2.75 this game and
11:58
United was 1.34. It's not everything you have to,
12:00
you have to win. You know what I mean?
12:02
By the end of the day, like I, I'm not worried as a, as like a
12:05
guy who owns Liverpool assets. I'm not like, Oh no, I'm not
12:07
trying to trade away players really, You know what I mean?
12:10
Well it also jackpot at the most shots on that hit the bar 3.
12:16
In the game. Since Luis Darwin Yunes Yeah, 4
12:22
like few years ago. Yeah, that's crazy.
12:24
That was a great shot. All right, moving on to the next
12:26
game. Tottenham collapsed versus
12:28
Villa, went up early and then ended up losing 21.
12:31
It looks like Spursy's back on the Many Boys.
12:34
That's great mate. We we haven't been able to say
12:36
that for a few weeks. So a few months I would say.
12:39
It's not classic Spursy though, to be perfectly honest.
12:45
Like we scored early. I get it.
12:47
And you know, Villa played well in the first half.
12:48
They did score two goals which were outside the box.
12:51
They weren't in the box. Now the Rodgers goal was
12:53
fantastic, don't go wrong, but Diaz scored a good goal.
12:56
Both both goals were fantastic. Yeah, yeah.
12:58
But if you look at the stats and I hate stats at times because
13:01
it's it tells a different game because it doesn't matter unless
13:04
you win the game. So we didn't do enough.
13:06
But I still think there's I still think this Tottenham team
13:09
has already shown some character this season.
13:11
I don't think this is the showing that you're going to see
13:15
for us this season. I was listening to the guys,
13:18
some guys on the athletic talk and they're talking about how
13:20
what's part of the issue with Tottenham is that the the the
13:23
midfield 2 of Bentegorn Paulinea aren't the best at building up
13:27
no too. So it's causing some issues with
13:29
them as far as like as like getting into that final third in
13:33
like a very easy ways. It's like it's become kind of.
13:36
So they're very good at stopping plays, but not create.
13:40
But then you've got to remember we when we had Kudos, can't do
13:43
on his own, even though he's what, 4th top scorer in fantasy
13:46
at the moment. It's phenomenal.
13:48
But it's the fact that we have tell upfront, which I don't
13:51
think he should have started. I think it should have been with
13:54
Charleston. We've still got Milani that's
13:55
coming through the ranks. And then Kudosetsky at some
13:57
point is going to show up. I think so.
14:00
Yeah, end of the year they're saying, I think it was it was
14:03
encouraging to see Colin Milani. He obviously didn't do much
14:05
because he came in kind of late, but I also think he's going to
14:08
be more embedded to the team. And then ideally, like with the
14:10
talent Otobear on that left side and to the middle, just felt
14:13
like that was just they're running into a lot of blind
14:15
alleys. You know, they're, they're just
14:17
not, they're not at the level. Right now they're like two more
14:19
Nellies. The ONS, yeah.
14:23
OK. And then Villa and their assets,
14:26
Are they back on the menu? They are officially four games
14:28
on being now so. Like 5, yeah.
14:31
Yeah. So yeah, they're they're back on
14:33
the main like Watkins. Didn't Watkins start this game?
14:35
I don't think he started this game.
14:36
He started. He did not start he.
14:37
Did not start but they still like Rogers coming off the
14:40
international break. We we spoke about him during the
14:42
international break. He scored again, but again it's
14:45
about consistency. But when Dia coming off the
14:47
bench also and scoring is when's he going to get his start?
14:50
That's the other one you. Guys, I was going to say Tia.
14:52
You shouted him out before the break, I think I think it, yeah.
14:56
Just to enter your point, I think it's just a question of
14:58
when he starts, because when he has started, he hasn't looked as
15:01
dominant as when he comes back opposite impacts up.
15:03
And you start to wonder if he's going to be like kind of like
15:05
Martinelli, where he's like a. Finishing, Yeah.
15:06
And just also, yeah, it it seems like he's there.
15:09
Durant from a couple of years ago when he was replacing Ollie
15:13
Watkins. Obviously, it's good to see
15:15
Morgan Rogers score. The one thing I would say is
15:17
like, you know, Villa got off to a rocky start and their
15:21
goalkeeper, who was their captain, wasn't also playing.
15:23
That's true. That contract situation, he's
15:25
back. He seems like one of those
15:27
people who's like an emotional leader, like people probably
15:29
follow him. So I don't know if that factors
15:30
in or not, but I mean their defense, Dania and you know,
15:35
Maddie Cash, they're people you could rotate.
15:39
I will keep an eye on Roger's office.
15:41
He's training upwards. So if you wanted to kind of like
15:43
sell high or like buy low window, whichever, whatever end
15:46
you're at. But that is a player.
15:48
But India that I'm going to keep an eye on just because he does
15:51
score, not just in the Premiership, even like the
15:53
Championship games. Do we want to talk about Chavi
15:56
Siemens or are we tired of that conversation?
15:57
No, I think it's. I think we need, I don't know if
16:00
there's a say he hasn't been doing enough, no.
16:02
He hasn't. He's got what?
16:03
The one assist and that's it. And it was.
16:06
It was from a corner. In the first game from a corner.
16:08
I think we need to see a little more from him and I think he's
16:10
definitely a little disappointed considering what we were
16:12
expecting. But I also think you can look at
16:14
like words and you can look at a lot of players in that position
16:16
that have been struggling. So it might just takes a little
16:19
bit of adjustment time period. It does differences 1 is
16:22
drafted, 1 is like fab, I guess you're still placing capital on
16:25
them. Yeah.
16:26
But yeah, just honestly, this is just a victory lot for myself.
16:29
You guys know this? Yeah, we know.
16:30
Yeah, we know. OK, moving on.
16:32
Brighton beats Newcastle 21 Welbeck Welbeck turns back the
16:36
clock and scores 2. Yeah.
16:38
Is he a chop pick up though? Like do you think people are
16:40
going to be? I feel like people are going to
16:42
be clamoring to grab him and I just feel like, no, he's the
16:44
same old story with Welbeck, right?
16:45
Why you just you might get a few good games out of him until
16:48
Christmas. You know, I think for a Welbeck,
16:51
I'm kind of looking at it and because what is he like one of
16:55
the older players in the league, right?
16:56
His big 30s? Yeah.
16:58
So I'm looking at it as far as like when he had good
17:02
production. Last time we had a good
17:05
production is before after a game he didn't start.
17:09
So he needs a rest. Yeah, and he scored two goals
17:11
and then the following week he started, didn't do anything.
17:13
He. Literally scored zero points.
17:15
And then there was an international break and he came
17:17
back fresh and he scored two more goals.
17:19
And he scored 30 points. Yeah, so if you have a wall
17:23
back, just keep an eye on the schedule.
17:25
If the old man had some time, maybe you could start it.
17:27
What about did you check the HomeAway splits with him?
17:29
I feel like that was something in the past that.
17:31
We oh, let's see. All right.
17:34
No, the he scored home and away, yeah.
17:37
OK, let's just go through the Brighton, through the Brighton
17:41
Newcastle stuff while we're waiting for Enzo.
17:43
Enzo, you're back, baby. Yeah, I'm gonna use fun, yeah.
17:46
Much better quality too. So much better.
17:48
Fuck's sake. OK.
17:50
So well back turns back the clock.
17:52
I think we're saying Tico was just mentioning about.
17:54
He has a little strategy for when to play him, but you'll
17:58
have to tune in for that one. Enzo.
18:00
And when he's on for the next two months and then drop him.
18:04
Not quite, but something like that.
18:06
Reuter and Ayari both scored well and so I know I was kind of
18:09
favoring Reuter. You were favoring Ayari.
18:10
They both scored around 10 points.
18:13
Do you are you feel you feel good about a Ayari?
18:17
I think again it's matchups in it.
18:18
So he scored 11.5 but he didn't rescore the last couple games
18:21
like there were 6 and sevens in there.
18:23
But yeah, he always he can do. OK then, Multimod scored a
18:27
little bit of a banger, a little bit of a neat little finish,
18:31
cheeky little finish. Is he the the best good feat for
18:35
a big man since Peter Crouch? And is he better good feet for a
18:39
big man than Peter Crouch? He Crouch will make that look
18:41
nicer, but he scored three and three so.
18:45
I think 4:00 and 4:00 maybe. I think three and three in the
18:47
pram and then one in Champions League as well, yeah.
18:51
Points per game. Volt is averaging more than
18:54
Cesco and more than Gilchrist. Yeah.
18:56
The one thing I'm a little disappointed with Volt is his
18:59
ghost points. He's kind of he's he has been,
19:03
but like the way he plays, I could see there being ghost
19:06
points in it. It's not like he's not playing
19:08
like off the shoulder of the defender and not getting
19:09
involved in play. He's getting very involved in
19:11
league come play and stuff. I just feel like he isn't like
19:13
putting it into key passes and like, you know, he hasn't isn't
19:16
doing as much there. Yeah, but like, that might come
19:18
in time. Too, But it's also getting
19:20
familiar with your wingers. When he started playing, Gordon
19:22
was suspended. So Gordon strike, I'm sure he's
19:24
going to get, you know, playoff of him as well.
19:26
But I mean goal dependent. He scored four and five.
19:29
Obviously not sustainable. Yeah, but what I'm saying is
19:32
that all those games, I think they were all below 17 points.
19:36
So he's scoring a goal and so and so only getting like 12 to
19:40
15, which is, I mean, great, you're you're so happy with
19:43
that. But like at the end of the day,
19:44
like the not scoring and you're looking at like 4.5 points, you
19:47
know? And also when you look at
19:48
Newcastle, like where else are the goals going to come from?
19:51
At least until with itself needs.
19:53
I was going to say they need help.
19:55
They need Gordon to step up a little bit, that's for sure.
19:58
Oh, Murphy or Orlango? One of the two.
20:00
One of them, Yeah, I thought. Murphy actually came in and
20:02
looked really good in that game when he subbed in to the point
20:05
where I'm like kind of looking at Murphy if he's on waivers
20:07
because I think he might get a start and he might be kind of
20:10
good, You know, I. Think he's gone?
20:12
At 1.5 points this game was horrendous.
20:15
It's not just that it was. Just more the eye test too,
20:17
right Chico? Yeah.
20:19
And also when you look at his like the playing minutes
20:21
pattern, like he's being stopped off earlier and earlier and
20:23
anytime you're stopped off at halftime when it's what was it
20:26
at halftime it was 110 game. You know, it's rare to see how
20:33
unless there's like injury related, which doesn't look like
20:35
he got hurt, no. He's fine.
20:37
Yeah, yeah. And we still like right around
20:39
the corner as well. He should be in like couple of
20:40
weeks. He should be healthy.
20:42
Murphy just seems like that guy that for years they've been
20:44
trying to replace him and like, midway through the season, like,
20:46
right about now, he just kind of like, works his way into the
20:48
team and, like, stays in the team, you know?
20:53
But, yeah, interesting one there.
20:55
OK Next game, Palace 3, Bournemouth 3, Matata scores a
20:59
hat trick and ruins my fantasy day, which is a bummer.
21:04
But, you know, Did you see the city?
21:05
Yeah. At the end of the game though,
21:07
he scored a hat trick but he literally had a chance to win it
21:09
and like one of the last kicks to the game and missed the.
21:11
After the penalty. After the penalty.
21:14
And it was to the point where he, like, it was one of those
21:17
things where he scored a hat trick.
21:18
But after the game, yeah, he was like sat on the grasp of his
21:20
hands in his head, like, devastated.
21:22
Yeah. Talk about bittersweet.
21:23
I think this was the most surprising result of the
21:26
weekend. Just the score, I think we
21:28
talked about it potentially being a tie, right?
21:30
Like I thought we were all on board with being a tie, just the
21:32
three, three tie where it's pretty shocking, yeah.
21:34
Because one Palace giving up three goals and two Palace
21:37
scoring three goals. 2 Very unlikely thing.
21:40
Yeah, Yeah, I think you're totally right.
21:42
And I, I think this is the first time their defense, just as as a
21:46
unit, didn't perform well. Obviously Muniz did because he's
21:49
fucking amazing. 24 points. So did great.
21:52
I think, I think they actually all scored fairly well.
21:54
Yeah, they all scored plus double.
21:56
Digits. No only so.
21:58
Muniz scored 24, Gouye scored 17 and then Richard scored 9 1/2.
22:02
Everyone else was below 5. But still, I mean, you can see
22:06
three goals and have three defenders.
22:07
He's considered two goals and you have three defenders in like
22:09
the, in the like the Green Zone, you know?
22:12
You're saying Richard should have really had.
22:14
If he didn't have those two goals, he would have had, what,
22:17
13.5? Muniz.
22:19
No. No, Richard, he had.
22:22
He didn't have goals. No, I said if they didn't
22:24
concede, if he. Didn't concede.
22:26
Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's still good.
22:29
How? Let's defend his or or go.
22:32
Oh yeah, always even like even that's what it like this just
22:34
shows that, you know, in a in a game where this would be a
22:36
disaster for for any other team, you know, defensively, I think,
22:41
you know, it's so challenging with the Jeremy Pino because
22:45
he's like, there's certain I keep seeing things that I really
22:47
like from him, but he just is not delivering from a point
22:49
standpoint. But OK, it's the same thing
22:51
we've been saying about all these attacking midfield
22:53
forwards that I've just come to lead.
22:54
They just they haven't got acclimated.
22:56
Yeah, OK. What about croupy for
22:59
Bournemouth? Evan Nielsen injury.
23:01
He scored two. They were a little bit of like,
23:04
you know, good fortune, goals, a little bit like arriving at the
23:06
right place at the right time. But he took his chance as well.
23:08
You got to be there, you. You just said it, man.
23:10
You're going to be in the right place at the right time.
23:12
That's what you want from a striker that's got less in the
23:14
box, you know, you think. He's the number one waiver pick
23:16
up this week with Evan Nielsen potentially outside.
23:20
The way the way Bulmer's playing, they're playing so well
23:22
isn't. And if Semenyo gets support from
23:25
the outside players and they start figuring this out, they
23:29
have a really good season. Forest of the Year.
23:32
Forest of the year it was kind of amazing to see how deeply
23:35
involved Semenyo was in both the goals even though he didn't get
23:38
the both of the first two goals. He didn't get any like official
23:41
assists for either one, but he like was very involved in the
23:44
header that led to the first goal and was like very involved
23:46
in the cross that led to the second goal.
23:48
Like he just as so involved. He's carrying the team, man, he
23:52
really is. Ismail Azar I thought was a
23:55
headache for Senesi all night, almost got a red carded.
23:58
They went to the AR and they overturned it or they didn't
24:01
overturn it. I thought Starlet could, even
24:03
though I don't think points wise it showed off.
24:05
But I think you should be encouraged by that type of
24:06
performance. Yeah.
24:08
And then we talked about Muniz, his 2nd 20 plus point game in a
24:12
row. Will he finish the number one
24:13
defender? Yeah, yeah.
24:16
Who's going to challenge him? Reese, James and Enzo thought
24:18
Pedro Poro might as as early as two weeks ago, but.
24:21
No Reese James is going to get injured like.
24:24
Well, Reese James isn't going to start.
24:25
I don't think Reese James is going to start enough games.
24:26
Even a healthy even if he's healthy all season, he's only
24:28
going to start like half the games.
24:30
He's seen his fantasy points though, right?
24:32
And he's in the top 20. They're monstrous.
24:34
And so I think the only way you keep Reese James healthy is if
24:37
he doesn't play every game. All right, then don't play him
24:39
every game, but he still, every time he plays, he's having
24:42
monster games. He's like nothing.
24:43
He's a fantasy player. He in real life, he was playing
24:46
every game. I'm talking about fantasy.
24:48
I'm talking about fantasy only, right?
24:49
Now he's kind of he's like the new Doko and Savio like you just
24:52
you keep on your bench. You you like have another
24:54
option. But if he plays you, you have to
24:56
say. It's funny because we're saying
24:57
that and I guess I know they're managing his minutes, but he's
25:00
still in the top 20. Yeah.
25:01
No, you're right. You're totally right.
25:03
I think it'll be interesting when Champions League starts to
25:05
heat up and what happens. Like I think he might be rested
25:08
for some prime games for like if if Chelsea starts to progress in
25:10
the Champions League and they start to.
25:13
It's also Chelsea have had a lot of red cards.
25:16
So they're kind of force to plan.
25:18
Yeah. Like gusto.
25:19
Like Gusto not being there next week, you know Reese's probably
25:21
going to start. Yeah, so he's played eight games
25:23
and started 5, so obviously that number's probably going to keep
25:26
the same weight. But again, we know his history
25:29
with injuries. Yeah, just got to be mindful of
25:32
it. Yeah.
25:33
All right. Speaking of Saviondoku, next
25:37
game, Holland to Everton 0. The man just keeps scoring.
25:41
Unreal, huh? He said plays having a terrible
25:43
season. He's having his worst season
25:44
ever. I don't think anymore.
25:47
Yeah, maybe he's the he's the top, highest scoring fancy
25:49
player right now. Oh yeah, easily right.
25:51
Yeah, yeah. I mean two more.
25:53
Balls. He's, he's the, he's the reason
25:57
why a guy who's number one in our main league is #1.
26:00
Yeah, he's like, he's kind of becoming that player where it's
26:02
like almost, it's kind of broken, right?
26:04
He's not quite. I mean, he's 20 points ahead of
26:06
yeah, Semenyo. Almost, yeah.
26:09
It's like, it's like how Solo was last season for Tiko.
26:11
Like, I mean, if he keeps going, I think the one the difference
26:13
between Holland and Salah is that Salah was getting a lot of
26:16
out of Ghost points last season. Yeah.
26:18
And Holland is just not that guy.
26:20
I know, but. You so like if he if he
26:22
continues to score at this rate, yes, he's gonna he's gonna.
26:25
Say everyone, you can't. You can't not like when you see
26:28
players go on streaks, you're like, it's a streak, you know?
26:31
I mean when you see Holland star going on a streak, oh man, no
26:33
one can freaking stop this guy. I was thinking, I was actually
26:36
thinking a lot about this, this like the last few days.
26:38
And I feel like the difference between the team now is that the
26:41
team's not as good like the the the Man City team.
26:45
And so their solution is like kind of just to feed him the
26:48
ball, where in previous seasons there was like so many other
26:51
options and outlets. But now it's like everything is
26:53
just so Holland focused, you know, just, you know, whereas
26:56
like they KBDB that these other guys that were kind of
26:59
contributing and there was different ways that they're
27:00
trying to score. But now it's just feed, feed the
27:02
beast. And also historically they've
27:04
had wingers who have been able to score from like Marez to
27:09
Sana. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
27:12
So all of those players now everyone just like Doku crosses,
27:15
Savino crosses. Fordon is more like a playmaker
27:18
kind of player. So I think and then Enzo like to
27:21
kind of correct you saying when how long goes on the streak,
27:24
he's going to he's keep scoring. I think Holland streak is when
27:26
he doesn't score like 2-3 goals games in a row because he
27:29
literally scores every single. He's like, so it's like
27:31
inversive streaks. Yeah, so it's kind of a cold
27:34
streak. If he goes 2-3 games without
27:36
scoring a goal, we're like, oh, what's wrong with the team?
27:38
What's wrong with Halon? Any other player does that.
27:40
That's like, oh, it's normal. You know, it's a tough week to
27:42
score it, Yeah. Savio finally showed up and I
27:46
got to give a special shout out. Thanks to Tico for telling me to
27:49
start him. He's in.
27:51
He's on the fucking row, winning.
27:52
Because he I mean, it was you got, you got off big balls to
27:54
start him after two games where he collectively made one point,
27:57
scored one point. And then but those of us the big
28:00
balls that follow our grand leader Tico.
28:03
Grand Leader Tico. There's a trophy behind me for a
28:06
reason. No, but I think that was a good
28:09
call. And it's like hopefully that
28:10
this can stay that stay, stay the course.
28:13
You know, like hopefully he continues to do this.
28:15
I think part of it is what we've talked about.
28:16
He didn't really have a much of A preseason.
28:18
He was a little unsettled and hopefully just getting back to
28:20
his best. It was also great to see him and
28:22
Titoku. Start.
28:24
Yeah, that's three starts in a row.
28:26
Yeah. Which is like an amazing sign.
28:28
Really encouraging. I know Shirky's getting healthy
28:30
and all that stuff, but it's very encouraging if you have
28:32
Savio and that's like 3 starts in a row.
28:34
Yeah, I hear you, but it's still PEP and you can rotate whenever.
28:37
100% I also feel like with Pep, what happens is like like this
28:40
happened with Savio last year where Savio started like like 15
28:44
game weeks in a row and then all of a sudden like they didn't
28:46
start the last like 7, you know what I mean?
28:48
So it's just like you just never know what's going to happen.
28:50
So you should always have a plan, you know what I mean?
28:52
You always need to have a plan. But Shirky is a bit of a
28:56
rotation. Like he's he came back and he
28:57
played in this game, but he's a bit of a rotation headache
28:59
moving forward. If you're if you're an honor for
29:01
him, if you have him, probably not.
29:03
I probably wouldn't anticipate starts right off the bat, but I
29:05
I could see it sooner rather than later.
29:07
What are we guys saying? I feel like Everton still had
29:09
some decent moments. What do you guys think?
29:10
Like I thought and I looked pretty good in moments.
29:13
And I looked really good. I think if Greenwich was
29:15
playing, it would have been different.
29:17
Yeah. Yeah, Different.
29:18
Yeah. There wasn't like field
29:19
sighting. Was that I didn't even notice he
29:22
come on. Yeah, he played like the last
29:24
5-6 minutes. Yeah, Fuck yeah.
29:26
All right, what? Happened to that guy.
29:28
I called that too. I said there there might be some
29:31
like the old minutes. Yeah, you did call that.
29:33
OK. Yeah.
29:34
Next game, Chelsea versus Forest, Chelsea won three nil,
29:38
put the final nail and Andrew's coffin.
29:40
I thought Pedro Netto looked good from the jump.
29:42
Do we need do we need more from him?
29:46
Is like, is this what you were expecting from him?
29:48
Like I thought he looked good. What you want to see from him?
29:51
Yeah, but he has to now because there's no Enzo Fernandez and no
29:53
Palmer for a little bit. So he has, there has to be some
29:55
sort of attacking out there. And Xiao Pedro's still quieting
29:58
down South and we know he's capable.
30:01
He's no, he's more incapable. Yeah, I mean, this is what this
30:04
he looked like the Pedro not have old today.
30:06
Like he was really eagerly taking on players like even
30:09
without the goals and the assists.
30:10
Like, I just like, he was very like lively, you know, He wasn't
30:13
just running into corners and like, you know.
30:15
Broken play a broken team. But Chelsea?
30:19
No, no. No, Yeah, like you like you're
30:22
beaten up on a on a on a downed. Downed player it's esteval
30:27
player that you start no matter if they're on the if they're in
30:30
the starting lineup or not it. Feels like it, doesn't it?
30:33
Yeah. I mean, so he obviously didn't
30:34
start this week. And that probably had a lot to
30:35
do with the fact that he just came back from Brazil.
30:37
Brazil like you saw or you saw or whatever the other side of
30:41
the world you saw with Qaseda. He didn't start the first half,
30:44
so I think that with Palmer out, like I think SRA was definitely
30:47
the biggest winner from Palmer being out.
30:49
Because you know, he got a franchise assist, they gave him
30:52
the assists. So he got like 5 points, many
30:53
points. Previous game against Liverpool
30:55
came off, scored at the end. Feels like this guy kind of
30:58
generates points somehow, some weight.
31:01
Yeah, and a lot of dribbles, like I think there's a lot of
31:03
different ways. So I think that you are very
31:05
happy. I I still don't think SRAS is
31:07
going to be a locked in starter in the next few weeks.
31:10
You know, I still think that like I think that Pedro Nets has
31:15
probably has that position, but like there is that 10 spot.
31:17
So I just don't know. I don't know if a rescue tet
31:20
trust Esteval in that 10 spot quite yet, because I think there
31:23
I think it requires a little bit more defensive naus than Esteval
31:27
has at this moment. But I think on that wing, I
31:29
think there's always a chance. So there's a.
31:32
Chance, there's always a chance that Pedro not to place on the
31:34
other side because like, Garnacho didn't look great.
31:36
Kittens hasn't looked great. So yeah, Yeah.
31:39
And it's like Tito's point, like eventually you just got to
31:41
create a room for it for, Yeah. And are we concerned about Joe
31:46
Pedro when there's no Co Palmer? I actually thought Joe Pedro did
31:49
some really good things in this game and it was a little
31:51
unfortunate not to score better. But yeah, I think I think what's
31:56
what's also interesting is Mark Hui came in and Joe Pedro
31:59
dropped into the 10 and looked a lot better as well.
32:00
So I'm not super concerned yet. Obviously it's been a little
32:04
alarming just how it's been a bit been a bit of a drop off,
32:08
but. You know, he has very high
32:10
dispossessed number numbers. Yeah, yeah, like 4334.
32:15
Those are like on the higher end.
32:19
OK, next next one is Rhys James, England's best right back as of
32:22
right now, all all things being equal and all players being
32:26
healthy. Yeah, well, because like the
32:28
injuries are the ones that are pushing them up there.
32:31
I know he's had some good results too though, no?
32:33
He's saying, he's saying if everyone's healthy.
32:35
Oh, if everyone's healthy, yeah. You taking him over Trent to to
32:40
the United States next year. Tough.
32:41
I love, I don't know. I love Reese James.
32:43
I think he's a fucking great player.
32:44
I think he's been in Trent, but the one thing that Trent has
32:47
over him is he's available in majority of time.
32:49
Yeah, I think Reese is more well-rounded, but I.
32:52
Don't know why you made that face, Tigo.
32:53
Just because he went to Rome with Jake, who's been eating too
32:55
much paella. Though, because the question is
32:57
if we're not factoring in at injuries and you keep talking
32:59
about the injuries, if no injuries, so you'll take.
33:02
If he's fully healthy, I'll take Reese.
33:03
There we go. There.
33:04
Yeah, that's sounds like a part archimpong.
33:08
The Chelsea defender scored his first goal for the club.
33:10
I think he's only 19. I think he's one to keep an eye
33:13
on. Had a really good goal, really
33:16
good game against Liverpool. Didn't just reflect on fan
33:17
tracks, points, but he looked really good in Liverpool when he
33:20
played. I think he's gotten 2 starts in
33:21
a row now. I'd definitely keep an eye on
33:23
that Chelsea defender, especially with I think they
33:25
have Sunderland next. I forget, I forget what they
33:27
have and that Sunderland's not easy.
33:30
Like I'm not saying that's an easy game, but I'm just saying
33:32
that yeah, so I think I think there's I think that might be a
33:36
not not a waiver stream. Forest players.
33:39
We talked about it. I think the fenders back on the
33:40
table and then the attacking players are going to be a bit of
33:42
a mystery box until we yeah, things get settled by last last
33:46
recap game Arsenal one full and 0 Arsenal sort of set piece.
33:52
Are we are we shocked? And what do what do we think
33:54
about Sokka? No, no goals or assists, but 22
33:57
ghost points. That's what he does to reduce.
33:59
His fantasy value, man. That's what he does, right?
34:01
Scary when he starts scoring goals.
34:04
Yeah, it'll be it will be scarier, but I think like, I
34:06
mean, geez, 22 ghost points is crazy.
34:09
It's only his second game this year that he's played 90
34:12
minutes. Yeah, I'm sorry, Third game,
34:13
third game and the obviously the first one was the very first
34:16
game where he didn't do much, only 7 points.
34:19
But the last two he's scored 17 points and 22.75.
34:23
This is the player that was ranked 1st.
34:26
Overall, yeah, makes sense. OK.
34:29
Next question, roughly where do you value as a rest of season?
34:34
Like would you if someone, if someone traded offered you
34:37
Pedro, if you had Eze and someone offered you Pedro NATO,
34:39
would you trade that? Would you make that trade?
34:42
Oh, this is a good one. You guys are real thinking,
34:44
yeah. I think I'll keep Eze just cuz I
34:49
for whatever reason I've never been a Pedro NATO fan.
34:51
Yeah, what about and die from Everton?
34:54
Who would you rather Eze and die and die?
34:57
I think and die that. One's a little bit easier.
34:59
I think it's easy to start. What?
35:02
Does it come with the team? Names with the team and I will
35:04
always and I will always love you.
35:06
Yeah, I think. I think it hash it right.
35:08
Yeah. So and I easy yes.
35:12
Pedro Netzo is a little trickier, but leaning towards
35:15
Eze. Bowen What?
35:18
Bowen or Eze? Bowen because it's guaranteed
35:22
starts. I'm a little worried about Eze
35:24
starts rest of the season. You think so?
35:27
I don't know, yeah, Arsenal doesn't have any players going
35:30
to AF con as well, right? So it's not like he's going to
35:32
get more minute, more opportunities.
35:34
None of the attacking side. Yeah, yeah, on the Fulham side,
35:41
our boy Jimenez is back. Yeah, I mean, did he do much?
35:45
How did he score? Probably not great, but he's
35:49
back. Yeah, I'm just not, I'm like, I
35:53
kind of got burned by, I took in without, in my league with Nate
35:56
that I'm not allowed to talk about.
35:58
I took, I took the, the Everton strikers and the Fulham strikers
36:02
and me and Nate were like, well, one of the four of them is going
36:04
to be fine, you know, and like, they've all sucked.
36:07
So I'm just a little turned off from them in general.
36:11
I, I do, I want to shout out Harry Wilson.
36:14
I thought he looked really lively in this game despite only
36:17
scoring 6.5 points. I thought he looked really
36:19
really good. So he might be 1 if like I don't
36:22
know. I just, I thought that he like
36:23
really showed something that I hadn't really seen much from of
36:25
him in the past. Right.
36:27
Another player, Kevin, also came out. 26 minutes, 6 1/2 points.
36:31
Dude, he needs to start. I think he got closer, closer.
36:35
Yeah, because Iwobi's not scoring the way he did last
36:38
season. Not that he's scoring horrible,
36:42
but he's not scoring to what we thought he was.
36:44
There's no Iwobi points, you know.
36:46
I mean, he's definitely not ugly one.
36:47
Can I be right now? Yeah, yeah, he's.
36:51
Mean and then last note, King just continues to start and I
36:54
think like there's little moments where he looks good, but
36:56
he's I think we've talked about this before.
36:57
He just isn't it's not generating points.
36:59
It's like those little things. Yeah.
37:00
So no fantasy value there, which is a bummer.
37:03
All right, moving on to waivers, man, we this is this can be a
37:06
long one. Brendan Aronson, Leeds
37:08
midfielder, 3 double digit starts in a row, 1110.511
37:11
points, 19% roster. Next three games, West Ham,
37:14
Brighton, Nottingham Forest, yeah I mean I I had this one and
37:18
then I think one of you guys also added it too.
37:21
It's just it's one of those ones where it's it's not super sexy
37:24
because we've we haven't really seen that time from him, but
37:26
he's like doing it. You know he's doing enough right
37:28
now. I think he's going to be like if
37:31
if he might not be your first choice waiver wire pickup, but
37:34
if if the your first choice gets picked like he's up with like a
37:38
great alternative. You know, if you need a mid, I
37:40
think the number one pickup that was croupy from Bournemouth we
37:43
talked about when 19 years old got the start with all Evan
37:47
Nelson out with the cough. Looks like Evan Nelson's going
37:49
to miss a little bit of time. Three goals in the last two
37:51
games you risk versus the Palace.
37:54
Might as well do it, huh? You.
37:56
Know it's by the way, if you need a forward, bite the
37:58
freaking bullet. Yeah, I think especially because
38:00
Fords are so scarce, I think he's going to be the number one
38:03
pick up. I actually need to do my waivers
38:05
at some point today before they go live tomorrow.
38:09
And then next, Danny Ballard, Sunderland 2044% owned, played
38:13
two full 90s and has scored 33.25 and 24 points.
38:17
His 60 minute scores are also both solid.
38:19
Like he's just, I think he, he had a little, he started off
38:23
super hot, had a little bit of an injury issue.
38:25
But then but now that he's back, I feel like he's just one of
38:28
those defenders just like it's like a magnet for the ball.
38:31
You know, he ends up getting a lot of clearances, a lot of like
38:34
Ariel's one, stuff like that. Next on the list, Hugo Bueno.
38:39
I feel like a broken record, but he's still only, he's still
38:42
under 50% owned and he continues to just generate great points
38:45
and look good. Yeah.
38:48
What do you guys think about Dala United?
38:50
46% solid, solid returns. They like keep up and down rest
38:55
of the season, but what do you guys think?
38:58
Let me see what this production has been like.
39:00
I I think United Defenders, if they're start starting, all of
39:03
them have value. Yeah.
39:06
How many goals has Man United lead in this season so far?
39:08
There isn't that many, I don't think.
39:09
They have let in 12 goals. Eight games.
39:15
That's a lot. But they didn't have one where
39:17
they, like, got pounded. Three.
39:21
Yeah, City and Brantford, like each of them, three each.
39:24
So it's like. Yeah.
39:26
When I went to look at the United, like the gold thing, I
39:29
scored all the way to the bottom of the table and I couldn't find
39:31
them. Like what's happening?
39:32
Because they're in the mid table.
39:33
They are. It is cringy.
39:35
They are -1 in the gold differential, they've scored.
39:37
They've let in 12 goals and scored thirteen.
39:41
Oh no. Scored 11.
39:43
Yeah. Pretty ugly.
39:45
OK, two more names on here. John Arias 44% out on midfielder
39:50
distance scored his first three starts.
39:52
Wolves attack Has felt a bit unlucky not to get like really
39:55
going I think doesn't feel great.
39:58
But I think if you're desperate and competitively, he could be a
40:01
sneaky one because I think he's only been improving the last few
40:03
weeks and he's been actually starting.
40:06
Now I think a lot of the Wolves forwards in general be getting
40:08
dropped, so if he gets more playing time, yeah, this train
40:12
lost is not doing it. Wang's not doing it.
40:14
No, it's not looking good. So someone's or that might be a
40:17
good pick up. And then the last one is Coyote,
40:19
a 46% owned Bedford defender. He had a really, really strong
40:23
game this week against West Ham. I think he's always had the
40:25
talent and the ability. That's why he was such like a
40:27
dark horse, like draft favorite going in.
40:30
But like, he's been a he's been a little underwhelming so far,
40:33
but after this performance, I could see him really picking up.
40:37
Last season, but if he can get that form that you had last
40:41
season, that'd be. Great.
40:42
Yeah. And I mean, I mean, today he he
40:44
scored like 20 plus points, the fans.
40:47
Are scoring a lot man. The fans are still scoring a lot
40:50
this. Season it's it's really changed
40:52
the whole dynamic of the league. Yep, to be honest with you all
40:56
right game week 9 boys. What are we thinking?
41:00
We have we have some notes all through here and so did a really
41:03
good job. We can bruise through these we
41:04
can kind of talk about them. Then we can maybe talk about
41:06
like the the odds to you. Could you have the odds up?
41:10
Yes. OK.
41:12
The first one is the Leeds West Ham.
41:15
Well, what are we looking at? There it.
41:17
Logged me out. On staff ghosting really well so
41:20
I guess he's only, you know, 2313 point 512.5 in the last
41:24
three games. West Ham attacking options not
41:26
ideal, but Pequeta is looking better.
41:28
Bowen's been a little underwhelming, but he still has
41:30
a few good little shiny moments in this last.
41:32
He does. So I don't know if this is one
41:35
that we're going to be betting on if we like, but I think that,
41:38
you know, the players that you have that you have to start,
41:40
you're going to start. I think the catch is very much a
41:42
go. I think, you know, long stops to
41:44
go. Aaron's saying I wouldn't.
41:46
I would have. I would actually have no issue
41:47
playing errands. You know, I like that play,
41:50
playing Aaron's good in this, you know, for these.
41:52
Yeah, stocks been a little bit. He's been steady.
41:55
It's stock back to scoring points because that's the fear
41:59
was that longs out pretty much going to like steal stocks
42:02
points. He's he did steal his points
42:04
are. Yeah, he got you got the.
42:05
I mean stock I almost think stock is like not maybe not
42:08
dropable but pretty damn close since long stuff started popping
42:11
off lost their games. Stock is at 3.55 point five and
42:15
three so stock is like locked up.
42:17
Stock. Stock is yeah, stock is going
42:20
down. All right, I'm online now.
42:22
All right, Leeds, West Ham. What are the odds?
42:23
Let's see, Leeds W leads are -118 West Ham are plus 335
42:30
insane. Plus 335.
42:32
They must be at Allen Rd. They're they're not.
42:33
They're probably not in. They're not in London.
42:35
Yeah, Leeds are home. These are home.
42:37
I mean, I, I don't hate those. I mean 335 is kind of fun.
42:41
I mean I again, maybe not for a parlay, but fun one.
42:45
It's a good solo bet. Just individual, yeah.
42:48
OK, Chelsea, Sunderland, Chelsea's the dominant Nets has
42:52
had a good performance. I think the only the caveat is
42:54
that Sunderland has been a little tricky for teams and like
42:57
has performed well so and like Zaka in the midfield is always a
43:00
little bit of a shithouser and Chelsea gets a red every single
43:02
game now apparently so. Machilelli.
43:06
What are the what are the odds on that one chica?
43:08
Chelsea -235 Sunderland +600. +600 Huh?
43:13
Must be at in London. This in London, Just Chelsea,
43:17
Southbridge. Yeah, interesting.
43:18
OK. I don't really, I don't love a
43:20
big gamble on that one next to a Newcastle, Fulham.
43:23
Will Voltemouth continue to impress?
43:26
I think what are the odds on this?
43:28
Because I could see myself betting on Newcastle here. -170
43:32
Fulham is plus 450. Interesting.
43:34
Wow, these are some pretty big Fulham.
43:37
Hasn't been playing well. They've lost what, 4 on the
43:39
bounce? Fulham.
43:40
Has lost three in a row. Yeah.
43:44
Not looking just for Fulham at the moment.
43:45
Yeah, it will be hot and cold. That's been tough.
43:49
OK, United, Brian, this is I'm really interested where the
43:51
where the line is for this one. United.
43:56
United and it's at Manchester, +105.
44:01
And then what's Brandon? Plus 2:30.
44:05
Bryan or Giant killers, man. They are.
44:07
They are. But they're playing a dwarf
44:09
right now, so they might lose. Yeah, you, you know, like I
44:12
think you'd have to rely you, you like mid to in this game.
44:15
Huh. Yep, definitely like Mentor in
44:16
this game. He's gonna tear up that fucking
44:18
those left back and white backs. We didn't shout about it, I
44:21
thought. I thought Cunha had a really
44:22
good game even though I did reflection points in this last
44:24
one I'm hoping to see. That up front.
44:26
Change end up like points for it so.
44:30
I I think we're gonna get a United clean sheet.
44:33
You really do well is that? Is that your prediction of the
44:35
week? You've been pretty good, so
44:37
you're on a little bit of a streak, so maybe we might have
44:40
to read the hot hand there. OK, what about Bradford,
44:42
Liverpool take? What are the odds on that?
44:44
Brentford is plus 2 + 330, Liverpool is -141.
44:49
OK. Brentford's not walking the
44:51
power for Liverpool and they're at home.
44:52
Brentford's at home. Yeah, and you think that
44:55
Liverpool has to get it figured out for this one, right?
44:58
Or you thought they would do that within the last four games?
45:00
Or they haven't done it yet. Choo Choo.
45:03
Bournemouth Forest What are we? What are we working with?
45:06
Walmart is going to slap them up. -147 four is plus 355.
45:12
Man, there's you. Going to go for that bounce back
45:14
game with a new manager with Sean Daish playing five at the
45:16
back. No, no, no, I don't think so,
45:19
but I don't I also don't know if that's the one I'd really want
45:22
to be gambling on either. There's there's a lot of there's
45:25
not a lot of like tightly contested games.
45:27
It's a lot of like big, big underdogs.
45:31
You know I. Don't know man.
45:33
What about the Arsenal Palace is the next one?
45:35
This is interesting. Yeah, it's gonna be interesting.
45:38
Arsenal. 'S.
45:39
Players Arsenal's what? -220 Palace is +600.
45:45
This is something that you might also want to bet the draw plus
45:48
345 because Arsenal's been struggling to score goals too.
45:51
I like, I like to draw on this. I like to draw on this Villa
45:55
versus City. Villa versus City Villa is plus
45:58
280, City is only -111. It is in a way, I like that, I
46:03
like that. But I think the issue with City
46:05
is that Villa's been good. Villa's won the last about four
46:07
or five in a row. Villa has won three in a row.
46:11
Yeah. Yeah, but and the two before
46:16
they tied, but I mean, I think and anytime you have a game with
46:20
City, you assume the game starts at the one.
46:22
No, because you assume Hotline's going to score.
46:26
Oh yeah, Wolves friendly. What are we working?
46:28
With Wolves are -1 O1 Bradley's plus three O 5.
46:33
So what was our favorite? Might be the first time this
46:35
year their favorite. Now they've been there a few
46:37
times and I feel like I think everyone's kind of seeing what
46:40
we've been seeing is that like there's something there.
46:41
It's just it hasn't really like, worked out for him, you know?
46:44
No, no. OK.
46:46
Doesn't work out against Bradley.
46:48
Everton. Tottenham.
46:50
Everton is plus 134. Tottenham is +200.
46:54
No, Grillish is back to game. Yeah, Remember, Grillish didn't
46:57
play the last game. Game is at the Everett Stadium.
47:01
Is it? Is it a new stadium?
47:02
No. There's still a dull 1, right?
47:03
No, they're not the same. It's like what's the one called
47:05
the? Big Dick.
47:06
There's a new stadium. It's called the Big Dick.
47:07
Why can't they just call the new Goodison Park?
47:09
Whatever. So they're at the Big Dick
47:11
Stadium and Drillish is back plus 134.
47:18
OK, so where we all lean in Tico, you can you can start.
47:22
I'm the one starting us off. All right, let me, all right, I
47:25
I really like Chelsea. I also like Newcastle but I
47:29
don't want to go United because if they lose or they've missed
47:32
the probably it's like a double FU to me.
47:36
Oh my God no, no gaps in in Bowie man.
47:39
How are? You, you know what?
47:39
I'm a go city -111 I think that's an amazing bet.
47:43
Yeah. Anytime you get Man City at
47:44
that, you take it. Yeah, what about you, Angela?
47:47
Bournemouth. Bournemouth Forest. -147.
47:50
I mean, I got boring. We didn't have one that's a
47:52
little cheeky in here. You don't have to.
47:55
We already spoke by this. I mean, we could take a win.
47:58
We we kind of could take a win. I do want to bet on that Arsenal
48:02
Palace. Do you wanna?
48:03
Do you wanna do a side bet on that one guys?
48:05
As a draw? Yeah, you want as a draw or.
48:08
Do you wanna do you? Wanna yeah do we want to partly
48:10
dealt with was time as a side bet.
48:12
What's the lesson bet? Oh, what time it was.
48:15
Plus 335 against the Leeds United.
48:19
We'll we'll talk about that one offline.
48:20
I'll do Newcastle. Newcastle -170 Let's see.
48:25
And then waiting on Sergey. As of right now, those three,
48:29
it's +47. I mean, we're pretty sure he's
48:33
going to take Arsenal, right? Should we just take Arsenal or?
48:36
We can wait like. Let's just say gospel known that
48:39
guy. I don't love that arsenal bet
48:41
for palace, but I I hope he doesn't take that you'd find
48:44
out, but already. Well, this has been episode 109
48:48
of draft offsides. My name is Keith, I'm with Tico
48:50
Enzo. Follow us at Draft Offsides, go
48:53
to our YouTube, like and subscribe, do all the things and
48:57
we'll see you next week where we will either be rich or poor.
49:02
Peace out guys. It's were you saying bye to us
49:06
or the podcast? Saying goodbye to the podcast.
49:08
OK, got it. I kind of want to talk about it,
49:11
but we went past this early like was that crazy that Cesco was
49:16
benched after having backspack games with goals and words is
49:21
just still being benched. It's.
49:23
Fucking. I mean, the Cesco benching
49:24
actually proved to be smart. I think that was the right call
49:27
against that Liverpool team. Yeah, but but still.
49:32
Honestly like because last time Cunha was benched and they they
49:35
also look at it like that. I don't know.
49:39
The thing is, Cesco, I don't it makes money, Esteveo.
49:42
Yeah, and Verts, all of them didn't start and all of them I
49:46
think scored like 5-6 points, which is pretty impressive in
49:49
like around 20 minutes, give or take.
49:50
I. Think partially like
49:51
international break stuff too. Like I, I think we'll, we'll get
49:54
a better idea after this week. You know, it's hard.
49:56
It's hard to really judge because you don't know like how
49:58
fitness levels are and like, and everything.
50:00
Like the, like you see the West Ham line up today, like
50:03
Wambasaka and Duf didn't start and they've been like 2 of their
50:05
best players as, as like the wing backs, you know.
50:07
So it's like, I think that that had to do with the fact that
50:10
they were both like in Africa for the yeah, for their national
50:14
team. But yeah, alrighty boys, I
50:18
gotta, I gotta go, yeah. I gotta go eat.
50:20
See you guys soon. Oh, and you saw my note about
50:24
that guy. He's.
50:25
I mean, I'm gonna come on and we're gonna chat like next
50:27
international break or something.
50:29
Sounds good. We're gonna be fine.
50:30
All right, let's Little stats Guy Little.
50:33
Stats guy we should. We got the time to get to get
50:36
Derek on here. Down, dude.
50:39
I love that he let he he just just glowed up.
50:41
As soon as Mike and I won their back-to-back to game, I loved
50:44
it. And he went back and found all
50:46
the messages that just fucking went off.
50:48
All right lads, kept your seeds. The only ones behind Tottenham
50:54
that best sound looking good. One point behind Tottenham.
