#61 Tottenhan Goes Full Spursy... · Draft Offsides Podcast

0:00
And I'm trying to make people worried so I could treat Ray
0:03
Bam. Hey Tico, how those how these
0:07
nuts taste bro you fucking wanker.
0:10
Do you feel a little better? Tico you.
0:12
Fucking crying over nothing. You feel, do you feel a little
0:14
better? United had their worst start
0:16
ever and you guys just have two more points than they do.
0:19
Because you always try to turn. This is not a Real Madrid
0:21
podcast and it's not a Liga podcast.
0:24
This is a Premiership podcast. The time of man is over.
0:27
The time of the orc is upon us. So it's changed man for Rodri
0:31
and orc for cover chance. Do you feel good about your
0:33
trade? As though so you had a pretty
0:34
decent trade that you made after last week.
0:36
So what what? What was it again?
0:37
Tell, tell, tell everyone. Hello and welcome to episode 61
0:44
of Draft Offsides. I'm with Tico Enzo.
0:46
My name is Keith. We had another fun week, another
0:51
week where I am on top of both leagues.
0:53
You know, just rate all all bow, bow down to me.
1:00
I thought. What, you don't like that?
1:01
No, I thought. First time it happened.
1:04
I know what the hell, it just happened right now.
1:07
Well, it feels great. And it sounds.
1:09
I need to bring it up. I just it like talk about it.
1:11
It like sounds humble coming out of his mouth but you know he's
1:14
being an asshole. Oh yeah, you know what I mean,
1:16
Major asshole. It's it also worked out for you
1:19
Keith, like the timing of it, you get to go on the
1:21
international break being in first place for like 2 weeks
1:23
now, so. I know I can really, I can
1:24
really hammer this home for for 10 days.
1:27
Fucking great. Really hammer home.
1:30
Yeah, but Oh well, we move on. What do you guys think?
1:33
Do you so our our bet was pretty bad again, I just want to I want
1:37
to bring that up, adjust it in the front of the front end of
1:40
the podcast. I think we need to reevaluate
1:42
some of our life choices. Can, can I, can I just say one
1:45
thing? Let's just stick to the three
1:49
teams that we said we're going to stick to.
1:51
And when Tico says hold on, hold on, hold on.
1:54
What if we do this or hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on If we
1:58
add this team, because that's what I think we're just buying
2:02
too much. But but even then, we were so at
2:04
a loss because you guys made bad choices.
2:06
No, I understand. Enzo, whatever is he did he just
2:09
say did. He just say you made bad
2:11
choices. No, he said.
2:12
You guys, you, you guys, the two of you.
2:13
So what Enzo is doing is deflecting it, putting it on me.
2:17
But he picked Ipswich, we had two.
2:19
What did? You pick Tikka.
2:21
I picked Newcastle. It was against everything, which
2:23
I obviously, you know, we didn't get the result, my team didn't
2:26
win. But when you look at their
2:27
logical and the team I pick, you can't really be upset at that.
2:31
Fucking Anthony Gordon missed a penalty kick, you know.
2:33
But you pick Ipswich, why Sergey picks.
2:36
Wolves. Why?
2:38
Well, the Wolves one, I didn't see that score line happening.
2:41
I don't even blame Sergey for his Wolves is a good team that
2:44
they're doing amazing. They have one point.
2:47
They have one. Point They're playing amazingly
2:49
bad, but that's a good team in my.
2:52
Yeah, I think we got to be a little more just conscious of
2:54
like form what's going on. I actually the the Ipswich one
2:56
is the one that was the least offensive to me.
2:59
Wolves have given up 21 goals. Other than the Newcastle, I
3:01
thought Newcastle was fine. I just wasn't lucky.
3:04
But like I I've liked Everton so I wasn't like super into that
3:06
one. But the Ipswich one I was more
3:08
interested. I thought the Wolves one, I
3:09
thought that was like a bad, I thought that was bad.
3:13
But Oh well, we move on. Should we get into who our studs
3:16
and duds are of the week? Let's go.
3:19
So starting off with Antonia from West Ham, 36 points, had
3:23
one goal, 3 assists. It's the first game good game
3:26
here for the year and he's only roster at 15%.
3:29
I know last year he had his ups and downs but I think this is a
3:32
player that could be a spot starter on a on the team.
3:36
Yeah, there's really funny tweet that's making the rounds.
3:38
It's like every year West Ham tries to buy someone to replace
3:40
Antonio, and every year Antonio comes in and like, becomes a
3:43
starter by the end. You just can't get rid of them.
3:47
But again, I don't, I'm not the biggest fan of Antonio.
3:51
Like he's come to the end of his season.
3:53
I know this was a really good game, but playing he played
3:55
against a Wolves team that was very low in form it you get you
3:58
said it's his first good game of the season.
4:00
I don't think he has. He scored double digits more
4:03
than two more games before this. But I mean, how many games does
4:05
he play? I don't think he's been starting
4:06
a ton of matches for them. No, so he's he's actually
4:10
started six of the seven matches and prior to it last week he had
4:15
9. So it was nine points against
4:16
Brentford 36, but prior to it he was three points or less.
4:20
And I think that's not saying anything bad about him as a
4:23
player, but it's about this West Ham team and they're actually
4:26
creating something in the forward position because that's
4:28
what they haven't been doing all right.
4:29
What if I told you they're playing Tottenham next week?
4:31
Fuck. Me, they're going to score 20
4:33
goals. So all your West Ham players,
4:36
Bowen, Piqueta, all of them, they're going to bang in a bunch
4:39
of goals. I I don't know, I didn't he's
4:43
kind of one of those guys that's like interesting if you needed a
4:45
spot. Sorry to what you were saying to
4:47
you, Kobe. I'm not like thinking my season
4:48
on him. He's ever like a forward 4.
4:50
You know 4344. Yeah.
4:53
But yeah, I mean, he's capable of it.
4:54
I mean, it's a great game, huh? Yeah, great game.
4:57
Fucking 3 assists in the goals, an amazing game.
4:59
I can. They'll win you a week.
5:00
Oh yeah. All right, who's next?
5:03
Mikhail Damsgarth 25 1/2 points. He had sixty key passes, 2
5:08
assists. He didn't start the first two
5:11
games of the year and for ever since he became the start of the
5:14
five games, he's been averaging 13.29.
5:17
And. Yeah, he's that games of 15412
5:20
point 259.75 and this 125.5. So it's been pretty productive
5:25
in the last whenever he started. Yeah, I think like, I think
5:29
attacking players on Brentford, like it kind of reminds me of in
5:32
Bembo like like a year ago, a year and a half ago where just
5:35
people, even though he kept scoring good points in Bembo
5:37
West, so like no one really picked him because it wasn't
5:39
that sexy. Brentford's like not a sexy
5:41
team. It's not exciting.
5:43
But like Tatiga's point, he's he's averaging 13.29 in his
5:47
starts in the last, you know, So I don't know, I like it.
5:52
Unlucky. I think Thomas Frank's playing
5:53
really, really attacking football and if you really think
5:55
about it, he's lost Tony now, he's lost Whistle and they're
5:58
still banging in goals and he's finding it from different areas.
6:01
I think Damsgard is the one you go look out for.
6:05
And who's the other player? Kevin Shotter.
6:09
Louis Potter. There you go, those guys.
6:13
I also think with with this Bedford team, like in the past,
6:16
like like the last game that Carvalho and Damsgard playing
6:19
and I think this is in this game, they had two kind of
6:21
holding midfielders behind Damsgard.
6:23
So he was really able to just to be that attacking option and you
6:26
saw the result in his like really good performance.
6:29
So I think like if they continue with that, where he had kind of
6:31
has that free role behind the striker, behind the strikers
6:34
kind of, I think that that makes that very interesting more so,
6:37
you know. I think so.
6:39
Because like in the past, he was kind of having to do a few
6:42
different things. So I'm I'm very intrigued by
6:44
Mikhail Damsgard and think there's more to come.
6:48
Who's next? Ryan Adnori.
6:51
Adnori 26.75 points projected only 8.141 goal, one assists.
6:57
But to me the impressive thing was he had four key passes and
7:01
he's gone two games in a row where he's at productive goals
7:05
and he had productive outings. Last week against Liverpool he
7:08
hit 17.75 on this crappy Wolf Steam.
7:13
Yeah, I mean, I think his biggest knock is that he's on
7:15
Wolves, right? And they're letting in a lot of
7:17
goals, but he's, I mean, I, I, he was on waivers last week.
7:20
I called it out as I think he's one of the most important
7:22
attacking players for this World Team.
7:24
And then he just showed it again.
7:25
It was kind of sad though. He so he scored that goal the
7:27
end of the game and like, I literally scored the goal and he
7:29
just like jogged back and I literally I was like, did he
7:32
score? Like why is he not celebrating?
7:33
Was it offsides? Like what was it?
7:35
Because they were just down so much?
7:36
He was just like, he was just so like, defeated.
7:39
It's just a consolation goal at the end of it.
7:41
Yeah, very much a garbage time goal.
7:43
Yeah, we had an assist prior to that.
7:45
I mean, he's he's looked good. And even in like some of the
7:48
games, like I think I've mentioned this, but like there
7:50
was a game, that game against Chelsea where he had an assist,
7:53
but then they gave up six goals. So it kind of like counteracted
7:56
it, you know what I mean? Like so like you haven't even
7:57
seen some of his good stuff because they've been letting so
8:00
many goals. So if Wolves Wolves figures that
8:02
out a little bit that he could, he'll move into like stud
8:04
category like all the rest of the season, you know?
8:07
I like him, but the way this Wolf team play and I'm not sure
8:11
you're going to hope that he picking it up and down that wing
8:15
and like you said, keep bosses, but I don't know what is it
8:20
Tico? Yeah, you just hope that you
8:23
hope the attack, the output outpaces the defensive frailty.
8:28
Yeah, what was it, Tico? Why are you fucking smiling from
8:30
ear to ear? Just because you're eating
8:33
something while talking. Yeah, I'm sorry, I haven't eaten
8:36
since 8:00 in the morning. I get it.
8:38
You're. Fucking starving.
8:39
That's why I was. This is why I was not talking.
8:41
Try not to distract. That sounds good job.
8:45
OK, honorable mention. Oh, this guy.
8:48
Hoy Mirage 17 points, 17 points while giving up four goals.
8:55
Projected to have only 5.77. He had how many?
9:00
8 saves for 16 points. Like it's so risque getting this
9:05
guy. It is so risky, like you can get
9:07
a game like this or you can have four goals knocking against you
9:11
and you can get minus fucking 8 and you know what I mean?
9:14
The best part of this it was against Keith, and Keith only
9:18
lost by 4 points. Yeah, that was rough.
9:21
That's rough. But I mean, look, I mean this,
9:23
you want to see your scores all season, so negative
9:26
47.2524.756017. So you're you're rolling the
9:35
dice. You are, that's what I'm saying.
9:36
You have no idea what you're getting at the.
9:38
You're just. I think you play them against
9:41
teams that are like semi good where they're going to get a lot
9:44
of shots on target, but those shots are like shitty shots.
9:47
You know they're going to be easy to save.
9:49
West Ham is not semi good though, like they they've been
9:51
bad this whole season. This is like the first game
9:54
where they really like popped off.
9:56
Yeah, but you know Ipswitch. Like City, City was the game
10:01
where he was -4 the game where he was 0 is Villa.
10:04
So there's something to it you're saying is like it's maybe
10:06
it's, it's like against the elite teams, you don't want to
10:08
play them, but it's against like that second tier.
10:10
That's kind of. If City has a shot on gold, it's
10:13
like very I'm assuming it's very high percentage to like for it
10:15
to go in. That's why he's not going to get
10:17
any points. Same thing with like Villa,
10:18
those like elite teams, but. Yeah, like that, that game where
10:21
he got 24.75, that was against Brighton.
10:23
So that adds to your theory. I just don't love it.
10:27
But yeah, it kind of stung this week.
10:29
It just sounds like what was they let him four goals and he
10:31
said how many saves did he have like 8 saves or something?
10:34
Yeah, he's kind of an anomaly. Like who else?
10:37
What other keepers doing this like doing it two seasons a row
10:40
with two different teams is is kind of wild.
10:43
Unless the unless the goalkeeper Hammondson.
10:45
Is it? Yeah.
10:45
He's been decent, huh? Yeah, he's been having a lot of
10:47
saves. Definitely not an honor from
10:50
from my United. Yeah, but Can you imagine?
10:53
Where United would be without another.
10:55
No. Most clean sheets.
10:57
They might be in top five like they.
11:01
'D be even worse, they have the most clean sheets united.
11:04
Oh, Nana has the most clean sheets, Yeah.
11:06
You know, I, I know we're going to get into that, but you know,
11:08
I'd love what what Ted Hogg said is that we're, we're, they're in
11:12
the step in the right direction. We're another clean sheet as
11:16
they sit. Was it 14th in the league?
11:20
Something like that. There are two parts of the game.
11:22
We master the defence, now we just have to work on the
11:24
offence. Cuz how many you guys, how many
11:27
goals you guys have all season? I think it's 5555 and seven,
11:31
yeah. So I mean, how many players have
11:33
more goals than you guys have? I mean, Cole Palmer had four in
11:36
one game and he had an assist, so.
11:39
Holland. Game Holland, Palmer, Brennan
11:42
Johnson. Brennan Johnson.
11:45
Duran, doesn't he have more than 5?
11:46
Or he has five maybe. He's up there all all, all his
11:50
substitute appearances too. Yeah, he's playing.
11:52
He's. Playing less time than the home
11:55
night 19. Four goals we got him four
11:57
goals. We got him.
12:02
So yeah, I'm president. Yeah, United could just be a a
12:05
constant dud in our list. But I guess, Speaking of duds,
12:10
who do we got? Fucking most Salah 1.75 points
12:14
projected to a 17.59 disappointing game against a bad
12:17
team and costume my matchup Salah has had two bad games and
12:22
those are the two games I've lost so it's kind of personal at
12:25
this point for. Me.
12:25
So your whole team goes the way of Mohammed Salah.
12:28
Yeah, Ouch. As were these two bad games that
12:32
they were back-to-back, right? So you had a bad game, then a
12:34
good game, then a bad game essentially.
12:36
It wasn't back-to-back, no. I think it was two games in
12:38
between. The other bad game is when I
12:39
played against you, yet three points of these points.
12:42
I was like 8. I can't.
12:44
Don't get wrong, you want your top players before week in, week
12:47
out, but sometimes in fantasy it doesn't translate that way.
12:50
Liverpool has been they're top of the league and they're top of
12:52
the league for a reason. They're not relying on Mosala,
12:55
They've actually got a full team that's.
12:57
Yeah, but. They don't have to.
12:59
Just because you're a top player and you have a shady game
13:01
doesn't mean you get a pass. I think it's I think it's also I
13:05
I just don't think you're going to see Sala at the level I mean
13:08
you like you're I'm saying this in the sense that Liverpool they
13:11
don't they don't play the same way they did it in a clock,
13:13
right. So they're not as they're not as
13:15
like pedal as a metal. So once they get that lead, they
13:18
kind of like chill a little bit and they kind of defend it where
13:21
clock would just keep going at them.
13:23
So I think you're going to see more and more of these, like one
13:25
nil, 2 nil, Liverpool wins, in which case I think Sala's total
13:30
output of the indices will be hurt.
13:31
But that being said, he's still 4th in total points through 7.
13:34
So it's not like he's like, yeah, it's not like he's bad at
13:37
all, I think. You're just doing crocodile too.
13:40
Yeah, no, I I would just prefer it like, you know, those top
13:42
players for centers, if they don't have a good game, they
13:46
don't go off for like 15 plus at least be around like eight
13:48
points out. I mean solids.
13:50
I mean solids. Worst game other than this 1.75
13:54
was eight points. Yeah, which is not bad.
13:56
I mean, that's great. Stop.
13:58
Fucking incredibly consistent 24/7, 24.7514 point 533.25, that
14:05
830 point 519.75 and then US 1.75.
14:09
Hey, hey, hey, Tico. Do you feel a little better?
14:11
Tico you're. Fucking crying over nothing.
14:13
You feel, do you feel a little better?
14:15
Now pull up. Now pull up freaking Bruno
14:17
Fernandez. I, I I don't even want to have
14:20
to scroll all the way down to where he is, that's what.
14:22
I'm saying that's what I'm saying.
14:24
You're crying about him, Bruno Fanatical picked up probably
14:26
before most on most, yeah. Oh yeah, he.
14:29
Did he did and most I was on my team.
14:32
This is my segment and he makes the duds list.
14:35
I'm telling you, I'm getting fed up of Tico making his segment
14:38
all about him. That's right.
14:41
What did Bruno score this week? He got six.
14:43
Man, talk about Ralph. That's a big.
14:46
Week for him, huh? Yeah, it's actually his third or
14:49
fourth highest week of That's not.
14:51
Yeah, it's not bad. I mean, his highest, Bruno's
14:53
highest square week is 12. Don't get me wrong, I'm still
14:56
not worried about him yet, but if he doesn't stop picking up
15:00
then you'll be like is it him or is it a team?
15:03
More shots without a goal. Bruno Fernandez, it's.
15:05
And because you know why he's taking shots from distance, too,
15:08
and they're not good shots. It's because he's frustrated,
15:10
though. It's not.
15:10
I think it's just everything in front of him is not working.
15:12
You hope that with with Hoyland back, maybe that'll change a
15:14
little bit and maybe the few other little things will shift,
15:17
but OK. Nick next stud.
15:18
That's a good. Segue.
15:19
Next Stud. Hoyland 0 point versus projected
15:24
9.87 first start and it wasn't of the case where he you know,
15:29
he had some shots or he passes then he had points deducted.
15:31
He literally does not show up on the fantasy score sheet like.
15:35
How many minutes did he play? I think 60 something minutes.
15:38
So it was a good amount of minutes for him to at least have
15:41
a shot pass something when when a header, I don't know.
15:45
Yeah, so I mean, this is the first game he started, granted,
15:48
but still. And he did score I.
15:50
Also will say in his defence aside like anyone did anything
15:52
in this game like this was probably the most boring game of
15:54
the season so far as far as like things happening.
15:57
I know it just felt like this game felt like a game that could
16:00
have had a couple goals in it, but it just on both sides.
16:03
And you could say Ace Villa might have been a little bit
16:05
tired after, you know, the short break.
16:07
But yeah, it was a little bit lackluster, man.
16:12
I agree. OK, what else we got?
16:14
Anthony Gordon 3 1/2 points projected 12.39 missed the
16:18
penalty, point penalty which is -5 points I think or 4 points
16:22
and he essentially that was my team.
16:24
I picked Newcastle to win so he cost me the parlay and he makes
16:27
the does list. Three, I also, I also want to
16:30
point out that if he does make that penalty, I beat Sergey.
16:32
That's all in our matchup because Sergey had Everton, an
16:36
Everton defender and he got cliche points.
16:38
So yeah, it's really stung. I can see, I can see Stuggy now.
16:44
You know, if I had known that there's no Anthony Gordon might
16:48
have made the studs list. It was, yeah.
16:54
It did not feel good. There's like 3 or 4 different
16:56
things that could have, could have happened differently if I
16:58
would have started Malaguso instead of Anthony Robinson.
17:01
A couple different things, but that's either here, they're
17:03
there. I mean, I thought Gordon looked
17:05
pretty good. I mean, I think his biggest
17:06
issue is, is that this Newcastle isn't that a striker?
17:09
So it's like really hard when he's the focal point of that
17:11
team. And like he just isn't.
17:12
That's not his position. He's playing out of position.
17:14
It's tough. And even with that, he did a few
17:16
really nice things. He had some nice turns.
17:18
But yeah, just rough. And he doesn't have a target to
17:22
cross it into exactly. Yeah, I was just thinking about
17:25
like, so I think I I was, I was I was seeing a segment earlier
17:29
in this week about about how Isaacs injured and how they
17:32
played Gordon upfront. But if if they didn't play
17:34
Gordon upfront, play say they played like remember how how
17:37
Liverpool plays with that fake, the false 9 and how that it just
17:41
sits more deep than you have the two wingers.
17:43
Do they not have anyone like that they can push up forward
17:46
like a Joe Linton? Or yeah, I mean, he that's
17:48
literally, he literally used to play striker.
17:50
That's what I'm saying. Yeah.
17:51
So I don't know, I mean, maybe this game will make them kind of
17:55
re evaluate because this is the type of game that you should
17:57
probably re evaluate after, you know, because.
17:59
If he plays on that left wing, he's putting up points.
18:01
Yeah, all day for sure. I think we agree.
18:03
We kind of agree there. But I think it's something to
18:05
keep an eye on after the international break of Esac and
18:09
Wilson are both still injured. I'd be a little nervous if if he
18:12
has to keep starting up there. I would not be like pleased
18:15
about it, you know, but you're also kind of stuck.
18:17
What are you going to do? Bench Anthony Gordon?
18:20
No, yeah, you're not. You're going to storm
18:22
everywhere. He's going to suffer.
18:24
All right. Who's our honorable mention on
18:25
the dead list? Stephanie Mav DD, Mavi DD -1
18:31
Point versus projected 14 1/2. It's been back-to-back games
18:35
that he's had pretty shitty games.
18:36
Not sure if you should have sold high on him but he does play for
18:40
a crappy team so it's going to be interesting going again.
18:43
I mean Lester got the one O win, but even with that it just
18:46
wasn't enough. Just.
18:48
He had that breakout game, didn't he?
18:50
He's just one of those. He's going to be one of those
18:52
players. Yeah, I think he's the type of
18:54
guy you're just, you're like playing like striker roulette
18:58
with. And if he goes cold, you just
19:00
you can drop him pretty quickly, which looks like it's kind of
19:02
happening, you know? All right.
19:04
Should we get into some of the key moments?
19:07
First thing was no, Roger, no problem.
19:10
Kovacic steps up and gets two goals, 23 points.
19:15
Would you, would you call him Keith in the chair?
19:18
What I said, oh that me and my man, that was really dumb.
19:21
That's like stone. Niche.
19:23
That probably only 5 people got It's like a there's like a line
19:26
from Lord of the Rings. It's like the time of man is
19:28
over, the time of the orcas upon us.
19:30
I. Changed.
19:32
Man for Rodri and ORC I liked it.
19:36
The one thing I will say is that it was like, did you know that
19:39
Fulham's XG was like 2.3 and cities was like 1.7 or something
19:46
Like Fulham had a ton of chances.
19:47
They it looked pretty good. And I think like not saying like
19:51
COVID Hitch was the problem, but not having Roger, he definitely
19:54
showed it in other ways, even though, you know, even though
19:56
COVID has got the goals here and whatnot.
19:58
Yeah, You know what I mean. It's just it's the control that
20:01
midfield. And I think honestly, Pep will
20:03
work it out. He always does.
20:04
Roger, he's a great player, but this is a team of great players.
20:07
So it'll, it'll slot something in here and there, you know, in
20:12
January, just expect someone to be bought.
20:15
Yeah, I would, I would assume so.
20:16
I'm, I'm assuming they need to bolster that position.
20:18
I think they were probably looking to bolster that position
20:20
even before. It's interesting, like with like
20:22
Nunez and these other guys like I, he just, Petrus doesn't trust
20:26
him. I guess so.
20:27
No, it was just like Calvin Phillips.
20:28
I never really put him in, you know, I mean just a bunch of
20:31
like hundreds of millions of dollars on the bench just
20:35
weighing to get some games home. Yeah, I mean, City would manage
20:40
to come back to win it. Good for them.
20:42
You know, that's that's what that's what good teams do even
20:44
when they are getting outplayed, which people have said that they
20:47
were outplayed by Fulham or big chunks of that game.
20:50
I move it on. James W James Ward prowess, JWP,
20:56
we say he lost his marbles unnecessarily red card.
21:00
So he was, he was kind of, it was like a Jackson was running
21:04
at him and he slipped and fell. And instead of letting Jackson
21:06
go through, he just grabbed the ball for a second yellow.
21:09
I, I think I said this in the chat, but I think I would have
21:11
let Jackson go through. I would have.
21:13
I would have rolled the dice with him when I wanted us to
21:14
keep her. What do you think?
21:16
I wouldn't put my team down 10 men, especially the way he did.
21:19
It wasn't like and he tried to play off like he rolled over it.
21:22
You know what I mean? It was pretty clear he knew.
21:23
He knew right away he was getting a second.
21:25
Oh, an idiot if he was going to do anything.
21:27
Just, you know, like I said on here, John Terrier, throw your
21:30
headache, you know what I mean? You know what, at the end of the
21:32
day, it was the right choice because that they they were able
21:34
to hold on with 10 men. You know who the happiest person
21:37
was for that red. Who?
21:39
Nico Jackson, He didn't have to go blow another one.
21:42
V1. I bet you.
21:44
Yeah. I mean, it's kind of funny, but
21:46
it's. A little bit funny, but Nico
21:48
Johnson's actually had this season.
21:50
He's having a better season than most strikers.
21:52
Oh yeah, what's his? I mean, where is he?
21:55
Where is he in strikers overall? He's the six striker overall
21:58
right now. He's pretty high up there.
22:00
He's ranked. Six overall. 15th overall.
22:05
Oh, sorry. Six overall for strikers, 15th
22:08
overall for total. Position, but Chelsea have had a
22:10
very easy schedule. They have that's that's without
22:13
a doubt, but I mean, you still, you can't argue with the fact
22:15
that he's he's getting points and it's not just from goals,
22:18
which that's what I love to see from a striker.
22:20
Not as easy as Liverpool schedule.
22:21
I can tell you that Liverpool's have an easy play schedule.
22:24
Yeah, Liverpool's what? Not one eight out of 9MM?
22:27
Hmm. This schedule is this schedule.
22:30
Six out of seven. Easy, they got to play like
22:34
Manchester C, Arsenal, Villa, all these top teams in a bundle
22:38
and back-to-back. This past game week is the exact
22:41
same game week. We're going to have the end of
22:43
the for the last game week of the year.
22:45
That's interesting. Yeah, that's really weird.
22:48
Where did you see that? You saw that online somewhere?
22:50
It was on the. They set it during the
22:52
broadcast. Huh.
22:54
Yeah, I don't like that. I don't like there being the
22:57
exact same game week twice in a row.
22:59
Yeah, because it was a shitty game week.
23:02
Yes, it was. Maybe it'll be more exciting at
23:03
the end of the year. I'm trying to think of the
23:04
matchups that could be interesting at the end of the
23:06
year because all none of these are like that.
23:08
Like which West Ham? United Villa.
23:11
United Villa. Yeah, Tottenham, Bryan.
23:13
Yeah, I could see. I mean, that could be like a,
23:15
you know, as one of like United could be going for relegation
23:17
there. Maybe they can.
23:18
Oh, shit. Part of Brighton could be fun
23:22
too, just depending on where they're at.
23:23
Yeah. Maybe European football.
23:25
Maybe. It's part of the plan.
23:28
OK, Bradford, they did not score in the first minute this time,
23:30
guys. No took took him a whole 90
23:32
seconds. Scored 90 seconds.
23:35
Almost doubled the amount. God, is that four games in a
23:39
row? No.
23:39
Four games in a row. Yeah, was in the first like 2
23:41
minutes. In the 1st 2 minutes they're.
23:43
Doing something they they've had something cooked up.
23:46
But this is the first one they won.
23:49
That's true. Yeah.
23:51
And scored more goals after. So that's the problem.
23:53
Yeah, 5. Three, man, just gonna fucking
23:55
do it. Or five, Two, wherever it was.
23:57
5/3. 5/3. We talked about Dams Guard and
24:00
Guemo looks solid. You know, I mean, that whole
24:03
team looks solid against Wolves. I think Wolves is the way the
24:05
Wolves defenses are now. I think everyone looks pretty
24:07
solid against them. I, I was so upset.
24:10
I wasted five points to pick up Carvalho and 10 of them I well
24:15
because he didn't start, but he came out and he scored a goal.
24:18
Same thing happened with Doku. Both of them got benched, came
24:20
out and scored a goal. It happens, man.
24:24
It's pretty interesting, but I think the biggest thing with
24:27
Wolves is the loss of Max Kilman in the back line, you feel.
24:31
You feel nice, I think. That is, I think.
24:33
That's it. I think that, I mean, that's
24:34
like the the the amount of goals so that again, you have to say
24:37
it's like losing their kind of Talisman defender.
24:39
Because, you know, they, they lost Kilman and they lost Neto
24:42
and they didn't replace him. They didn't replace Neto.
24:45
Definitely not. Yeah, no, our our boy Tika, our
24:48
boy Jimenez, Rahul Jimenez got a last one.
24:51
That was the assist of the season, I'd say, right?
24:52
That backyard. Yeah, it was a nice fucking
24:54
assist, man. He chipped in with the back
24:56
heel, got it out there against, against, Man C Ballsy.
25:03
Definitely ballsy. Would you?
25:05
Would you trade Bernardo Silva for Raul Menace?
25:08
That's the season. Midfielder for striker.
25:11
Look at the ever since he he became a starter, 19 points, 15
25:15
and a half, thirteen and a half twelve.
25:18
He scored three goals in a row on the last time he didn't
25:20
score, but he had he had that one assess.
25:22
So he's he's on the table. If any of you guys need him,
25:25
send me a trade. So I'm looking at him like he's
25:28
in to me, like if I if I if I could get like if I could trade
25:31
like Thomas SU check when are Silva Alex and what would be I
25:34
would think about it for Oh, that is the one thing about the
25:36
strike position is that it's just so like fickle, right.
25:39
There's like he does well for a few games, so streaky, and then
25:42
like he might just disappear for a.
25:44
Few weeks. That's why you go, you go take
25:45
the risk. Now you either go sell high or
25:47
just stick with him. So are you going to, are you
25:49
going to be sending out some trade out some trades?
25:51
Maybe, maybe I got five I got. I got 5 good strikers in that
25:55
league. Still can't win a game though,
25:58
huh? That's why I need, I have a
26:00
defenders from midfield. I already got the midfielders.
26:02
I need defenders now, yeah. Five good strikers.
26:05
Go on, say it. Go on, say who?
26:07
Who do I have? Which league?
26:09
In the main league. OK.
26:11
OK. Haverts, Watkins, Jackson and
26:16
then on my bench I have Jimenez and I have Danny Welbeck.
26:19
You do. You really do.
26:21
Hey Tico how those how these nuts taste bro you fucking?
26:25
Want you you really wish you could start 4/4 attackers.
26:29
I wish 05. Yeah, yeah, I'd be trying to get
26:33
rid of one of them. Yeah, a defender.
26:34
That's what you need. Defenders.
26:38
The problem is no one wants him and us or Welbeck.
26:41
You know, I I'm warming up to well back.
26:43
I think he's going to be good all season.
26:44
Can you He's look good. Where?
26:46
Where's Welbeck in this One of the strikers rankings, 8th.
26:50
Overall for forwards, 20th total.
26:52
Fucking pretty good for where you probably drafted him.
26:55
Oh, I mean, you didn't draft him probably.
26:57
Draft him. Yeah, You know what I mean.
26:59
Yeah, all right. Lester got the first one of the
27:02
season beating a board with team that looked a little hapless.
27:06
What's going on with Bournemouth?
27:07
It seems like there's some games where they look so good and some
27:08
games where they're just like, that game was like, blah, huh?
27:11
Mate, what's going on with a lot of these teams that were in the
27:14
league last season that looked really good?
27:15
You got Wolves, Bournemouth, who's the other one?
27:17
Crystal Palace. Palace is like bad bad.
27:20
Yeah, they really missing at least a glasser.
27:22
Just classic. Looked like a genius at the end
27:24
of last season. Now he's looking pretty
27:26
clueless. Bulmer is looking bad, but
27:28
they're still above Man United. No United's worst start to a
27:32
season ever. It's their worst.
27:35
What is this and the fantasy point said 57.25 total points
27:39
for the players last week. Yep, total.
27:42
Bunch of zeros in there. So that means like Saka, like
27:46
Cole Palmer, that we prior almost got as many points so low
27:49
as the whole United team did this week.
27:51
Yes, that's correct. She goes, not quite believing
27:54
this. Yeah, because you would think
27:57
they just all the defenders get the clean sheet with it.
27:59
That's like what, 4530 points right there.
28:02
Check it. I don't want to check it.
28:04
Check it. I mean, I believe I mean.
28:05
Either way, it's low. It's low and it's rough.
28:08
I mean, so a lot of the attacking players, did the
28:09
attacking players do anything? Like you told me Hoyland got
28:11
zero. So if you're telling me they
28:13
they got 30 and everyone else got like 5, that that sounds
28:16
about right. Outside of defense, Rashford got
28:18
6 1/2 Garnacho 6.25 Bruno with an amazing six.
28:22
Yeah, so trash. Yeah, rough for rough for him.
28:26
I I mean as a as a United fan, were you hoping that you just
28:30
lost this game and then sucked 10 hog?
28:32
Yeah, because I love chaos. I was hoping it would be like
28:36
Pretty Shetty. It's fucking coming because the
28:39
whole board, the whole board was watching that game.
28:43
Yeah, everyone was there, but I think the draw means that Tenog
28:46
doesn't get fired. No, I think the draw the the
28:48
worst start to the season means that he's he's done.
28:52
You think he's done? I, I I don't know.
28:54
You got remember he's been doing like this season.
28:56
When he dropped Rashford last season, it's because he was
28:58
playing badly. Now he's putting Rush on the
29:00
bench that yeah, I know he started this game, but some of
29:03
his choices for rotation hasn't made sense.
29:06
Totally. I there's a lot of things that
29:08
haven't made sense, I think. I think it's it's beyond reason,
29:11
without a doubt. Even midweek against in the
29:14
European game where they were down 32, he you put in Harry
29:19
Maguire. Yeah, he scored a goal.
29:20
But why would you make like why would you change your center
29:23
backs instead of playing more attacking players?
29:25
Or, or the fact that he's, he Rashford had an amazing first
29:27
half and he stopped them at half time.
29:29
It's like the dude's struggling for form and you're going to,
29:31
you're going to sell him 1/2 time when he's just like he's
29:34
like had a golden assist, you know?
29:36
Well, the reason for that is he said both of those goals were
29:39
from Rashford side and apparently he wanted Rashford to
29:41
drop back more to help out on defense.
29:44
I don't know, I just think it's silly.
29:45
But I I don't even want to waste more breath on United.
29:49
We already know what's coming. Tottenham Tottenham up two and
29:52
half and then losing 32 to Brightenham.
29:55
That was rough bro. I saw a set that Tottenham has
29:59
the most losses from a two goal lead than any other team in the
30:03
Premier League. Now they they officially have 10
30:06
total. Their history for first you hit
30:08
double digits. It's fucking horrendous man.
30:11
Congratulations, Spurzi. It's 'cause look, and there's
30:14
actually a couple teams doing it and they're like, Brian does the
30:16
same thing with the Highline, like you live by the soul, you
30:19
die by the soul. But in my opinion, I don't mind
30:23
the Highline. I don't, but once you get that
30:26
two goal lead, you know what I mean?
30:27
Just yeah, just settle back a bit.
30:30
Control the game. Don't just go for blood like
30:33
control the game. I agree.
30:35
I think that at some point you need to understand that you you
30:38
can't just like keep throwing every single body forward with
30:41
doggy. That that that kind of had a
30:44
pretty bad game. And it started with that first
30:46
goal. Yeah, just flubbed that.
30:47
And then after that, it seems like his head was out of it.
30:49
He's still a young guy. A lot of trust in these young
30:51
guys to to do a lot. United had their worst start
30:55
ever and you guys just have two more points than they do.
30:58
That doesn't change the fact that you have your worst start
31:00
ever. And this was a year that is
31:02
going to was supposed to be promising for you guys after
31:04
last year. But realistically, what do you
31:06
think will Tottenham's like as of right now?
31:09
What's what would be happy season free movie for like top 4
31:12
Europa Champions League because. What did I, what did I put
31:16
Tottenham in the top 4? No, I'm asking you.
31:18
I'm. No, I'm telling you, I'm telling
31:20
you right now that I'd I'd be happy with top 8.
31:23
Really. I would because it's still
31:25
Europe. I'd be happy with some European
31:27
football. I don't expect us to get top
31:29
four, I said. I didn't think we're going to
31:31
get top five either. We'll be.
31:35
Fine, Yeah, I think it's going to be hard.
31:37
It's pretty competitive. I mean, Chelsea looks better
31:39
than people thought they were. Villa's good.
31:42
Like, you know, there's a lot of teams vying for the spots.
31:45
Brian looks good. You can understand again too,
31:48
you're going to have Villa who's in Europe, so that's going to be
31:50
struggle from Newcastle will pick up game wins here and
31:53
there. They'll be fine.
31:55
Yeah, it's it's a very competitive league.
31:57
Besides Man City, Liverpool and Arsenal, who are in my opinion
32:00
are going to be the top three in the race and then Liverpool
32:02
might die off at the end like they usually do.
32:05
That's it. Yeah, all.
32:07
Right, Some notable ghost points here.
32:09
Sanchez was 17.25. That's like Chelsea keeper,
32:12
right? Chelsea keeper.
32:13
He had some good saves. He's yeah, some blasted I man,
32:17
yeah and hands. Tiko, are you laughing at
32:19
someone in our league for paying a bunch of fad to pick him up?
32:23
I was because I wanted to pick him up.
32:25
Thomas picked him up and he produced only six points after.
32:28
But Sanchez has had some amazing outings, 28.2524 and a half 17
32:34
so because Chelsea does give up a lot of shots so.
32:38
But it's funny because like, of all keepers he's ranked #1 now
32:43
he's officially the number one keeper.
32:45
Is he? Yeah.
32:46
Is he? Because Rye's had a couple of
32:47
bad games. Rye's had a couple of bad games,
32:49
yeah, but he's like, he's like, what?
32:51
Yeah, like 11 points, yeah, 11 points more than rye.
32:53
So it's not tight, but it's interesting.
32:56
Talked about Merrick was 17, Cook from Bournemouth, right,
33:00
15.25. And then Trent had a clean
33:02
sheet. So did he.
33:04
Oh yeah. He doesn't quite qualify, sorry,
33:07
but I mean those clean sheets. There's a stat.
33:09
I was going to save it for waivers, but I'll say it now
33:11
just because I'm so excited to say it.
33:13
Of the top three defenders like Of the top defenders, top
33:18
scoring defenders so far of the top three are all Liverpool
33:21
players. I actually saw that, so I was
33:23
going to put it up as a question for you guys.
33:25
Trent at at one BVD and then Konate by.
33:30
The other two last week, yeah. It's crazy.
33:32
It's so crazy. I mean they're just I mean it's
33:34
just the amount of clean sheets and just how controlled they
33:36
are. That's right, Tigo and you said
33:37
oh, like United has the most clean sheets.
33:39
I was like what? So I was like, I would have just
33:42
looking at this, I would have thought that for sure it's.
33:44
Level. Oh, no, no.
33:45
Yeah, I mean, Dallow's the only United player in the top 20.
33:50
Oh, no, sorry. In the top ten, top 15.
33:52
Dallow's the only the United player in the top 15, even right
33:55
now for fantasy points. Or at least they go player in
33:58
the top 15. True, I I think, didn't Allison
34:02
miss a game? Yes, he might have missed a
34:04
game, Yeah. That's why so it's Oh no, no,
34:06
not match St. net. I just.
34:07
Oh no. Got you.
34:08
OK. Yeah, OK.
34:09
That makes more sense. Keith, just real quick on Trent.
34:12
Are you worried that now that Carvahall got injured for the
34:14
year, Real Madrid might aggressively go after him in
34:17
January? I wasn't worried when you were
34:19
just saying that because like you're just such an annoying
34:21
little Real Madrid fan, But I started getting worried when I
34:24
started seeing like things online about it too.
34:28
I, I, I can't imagine Liverpool let him do that.
34:31
But like the idea of letting him go for free.
34:33
And this is also like inconceivable.
34:35
So if they're if they're faced with either letting him go for
34:37
free or doing this, then I think I get.
34:41
Some action, right? Because I heard this before the
34:44
injury. Anyway, they get they get Trent
34:48
and then they get Alfonso Davies.
34:50
That's fucking ridiculous bro. You're talking about Madrid?
34:53
Yeah, and the the more ridiculous thing is both of them
34:57
are free agents next year. So if they don't get in this
34:59
year, they'll get both of them for free next year.
35:01
And that's kind of, but do you really think, do you, do you
35:03
100% think Trent's going to go? I think Alfonso Davies for sure.
35:06
I I'm not sure if Trent's 100%. So the thing, the thing with
35:09
Trent, apparently he has a very strong relationship with Jude
35:12
Bellingham. The only reason I don't think he
35:15
might go this year is because if he transfers, that means he he
35:17
cannot play in the Champions League, correct?
35:20
Because he played for Liverpool. Well, in in January.
35:24
Yes, he wasn't just. Right now he will leave at the
35:26
end of the season. He wouldn't.
35:27
He's that much of A Liverpool player.
35:30
Like he won't disrespect them but.
35:33
I'm just saying, Real Madrid comes knocking.
35:36
I'm just. Putting it out sometimes Real
35:37
Madrid doesn't, It doesn't matter.
35:38
Real Madrid goes on for some place, OK?
35:41
I'm just saying. I I get that.
35:43
Because Liverpool is still a big club.
35:45
They still won champions, remember, He's already won a
35:47
Champions League. He's already won a league, no?
35:48
No, I understand it, but I'm just saying before, before the
35:52
injury, Madrid were not interested in buying any
35:55
additional players, but now they said they they want to go after.
35:58
But look what you've done you've got on this rant.
35:59
You've bought, you've bought the Keef out of his mind that he's
36:02
now just not paying attention to the pod.
36:06
That's what you've done because you always try to turn.
36:08
This is not a Real Madrid podcast and it's not a La Liga
36:11
podcast. This is a Premiership podcast.
36:14
I just asked if he's afraid that a trend is going to be sold out
36:17
of the premiership. I'm afraid I'm afraid I'm
36:19
certainly a little afraid that I'm not I'm not like panicked
36:21
yet. I'm just like, it's definitely
36:23
like can go definitely like sparked my interest and I'm
36:26
going to click every single link that says Trent going this
36:29
January looking for new information on it, you know.
36:32
And I'm trying to make Keith. Worried so I could treat Ray Bam
36:35
I'm. Probably not going to do that
36:39
though. OK, moving on waivers.
36:42
So I I pulled a bunch of names for this one guys, but we can
36:46
just pack kind of power through. First one I really want to talk
36:49
about is Georgina Reuter from Brighton.
36:52
On the 29% of leagues he scored, he scored his last two games.
36:56
You can play central, like behind the striker, you can come
36:58
off the wing. Jon Pedro's out till November at
37:01
least. He could be a nice little pick
37:02
up that you can start playing right away.
37:03
So I like him a lot as a player. I think he looked good.
37:06
I think Bright looks good. I think like him being on a team
37:09
that's on the rise is just as important as him being a solid
37:11
player. You know, he's big and strong.
37:14
He seems to have, yeah. I think he played for Leeds last
37:16
year, so he's kind of adjusted to English, the English game,
37:19
you know. So I think he could be a solid,
37:21
solid pick up, especially under 2029% of leagues.
37:25
I think he's going to be available for most people.
37:27
He plays on the right, right plays mostly.
37:29
On the right, you can play, off the right you can also play
37:31
through the middle, which So yeah.
37:34
Yeah, I think he's a good player.
37:35
I've watched, I've watched obviously, I watched the
37:36
Tottenham game, he looked good. I watched a couple games.
37:40
I like Brian. I actually do like Brian.
37:42
I find they're a good team. My only worry with them is what
37:45
they did last season. Will it strike twice?
37:48
Will they start? Did they do the same thing last
37:50
season? They started really well and
37:51
then they just sort of, and so did they put a lot of Matoma and
37:55
the rest of their players. Yeah, I mean, there's a lot of
37:57
injuries. It was a little bit of a crazy
37:58
season after the World Cup, but yeah, they totally did do that
38:01
so. That'll be my only worry.
38:03
But if he's going to be like that one player that who just
38:05
let who who just left went to Dortmund for him.
38:09
Not, yeah, Gross. I mean, he played further back.
38:14
He played almost. As I say, I'm not saying like
38:16
that, but I'm saying if he could be that player that puts up
38:18
points like a Dwight McNeil gross like that, that'd be.
38:22
Great. Yeah, totally.
38:23
The other 4 1/2 is stranded largely.
38:25
We talked about a few times on this podcast.
38:26
He got another goal this week. He's 48% owned.
38:29
So he's he's going to quickly be like past the threshold for
38:33
waivers. But quietly, he's been having a
38:35
pretty decent start to the season.
38:36
Like even like games that he doesn't score, I always like, he
38:39
always like catches my eye just for his hustle, for his
38:42
movement. So I like him a lot.
38:44
I think we've talked about it. I don't think we need to like
38:46
talk more. No.
38:48
Defenders So this is a weird one and there's like I have a list
38:51
of guys because I think, and now you're in the point now where
38:53
there's just you can you kind of just throw some on a wall with
38:55
defenders and open a few things Stick.
38:57
There's a few names that I kind of like, but one that I'm really
39:00
interested in was, and this isn't like just like take this
39:04
with a grain of salt, is Simacus from Liverpool.
39:07
Robertson got injured and then he but he and he didn't start
39:10
this week. And so like just keeping that in
39:12
mind, like Samakis started looks solid.
39:16
You know, he's owned a 36% of leagues.
39:18
Like I don't know, I just feel like, you know, Robertson's
39:21
going to Robertson is going to international duty.
39:25
And so I'll just keep an eye on that.
39:26
Like if he gets injured or something, Samakis comes in and
39:28
becomes an automatic starter. Yeah, you know, for the whole
39:31
time. So I think like he can be
39:33
someone you almost like hold that you just really careful of.
39:36
I think alternatives for defenders met met Lacroix, the
39:41
guy from Crystal Palace. I'm not sure.
39:42
I don't say his first name an accidents or something.
39:45
Maxent. Maxent Lacroix, I think he he
39:48
looks pretty good. Hola Anna looked pretty solid
39:50
for Nottingham. And I also think that like
39:52
Nottingham, just in the past, we haven't thought of that about
39:55
them from the defensive standpoint, but they've been
39:57
looking so good this year that I think you have to start taking
39:59
seriously. Like Milikovich got an assist,
40:02
but he's also looked good. He's probably the number one
40:04
defender and I was just picking someone to start next week.
40:06
And Maria also looks solid. And then the other name on here
40:09
is Wow phase from Lester is quietly put together a good
40:13
season as well. So these are some names and just
40:15
like look at matchups and just pick, pick accordingly I think
40:18
with those. Another another defender I want
40:20
to give a shout out to. It's again from Liverpool,
40:22
Connor Bradley, just in case Trent gets old.
40:24
It's a good person to hold on to.
40:26
Yeah, I probably wouldn't hold on to him yet, but but as you
40:31
know, if those rumors continue, then I would maybe consider it,
40:34
but I'm not there yet. I like Ina.
40:37
Ina was good last season. Also from from Romeo, Craley,
40:41
Lacroix, I think we've been speaking about.
40:42
I like him. I think he's been solid.
40:45
I know he plays on the right of the the back three, but I think
40:47
he's been solid. Yeah, he's been putting up now.
40:50
I mean, he's just been putting up number.
40:51
It's your fantasy, so you gotta be happy.
40:52
Yeah. From a mid standpoint, I think
40:55
Dan's gone through the number one mid pick up.
40:57
I think like Tigo's point about his point scored and the way
41:00
that Brentford's been going, I think there's just a lot there
41:03
to like. Yeah.
41:05
Carvalho is interesting, but again, like he didn't get the
41:07
start this week. So, you know, I think dance card
41:11
is the one you have to go with there.
41:12
And then the other one that's interesting is Mikkel Marino.
41:15
He's back. He's played 28 minutes for
41:17
Arsenal and he managed to get eight points in 28 minutes.
41:19
So that's pretty solid. It's pretty solid your turn.
41:22
So I would say, and it wasn't like I think he had one key
41:24
pass. There's a lot of like tackling
41:26
winning balls such points as well.
41:28
So I think if he's manages to start starting games the coming
41:31
weeks, that could be that could be a huge upside play that could
41:34
be a huge payoff for you if he's starting games for like a really
41:36
good attacking Arsenal team. I think it's going to all depend
41:39
on the the players they have starting right now and how they
41:41
play and form and maybe a little bit of rotation because party
41:46
hasn't been playing, but I think he's been he's been actually
41:47
putting up some really good numbers.
41:49
I. Think he has been playing?
41:50
No. No, I'm saying he hasn't been
41:51
playing badly. Oh yeah, he's been playing
41:53
badly. Yeah, he's been playing a lot.
41:54
His numbers have been, have been solid.
41:56
And then, you know, you still go Declan Rice, who ain't going
41:58
nowhere. And then, you know, trust others
42:02
scored a couple goals. So I don't know.
42:06
I think they boy, I know I'll tell boy him to bring him in.
42:09
And if I'll tell you, I'll tell you.
42:11
We know he's going to be stubborn.
42:12
And just like he did with Ramsdale and and Ryan, he'll end
42:15
up doing the switch. I mean, Odegard says no definite
42:19
timeline either. Nope.
42:21
It's something to consider because I think that's the
42:23
biggest thing too. So in games, I mean, there's
42:25
going to be games. I I can't imagine that party and
42:28
Declan Rice are going to start every game together and the
42:30
games that they don't start together, I, I see Maria, Maria
42:32
coming into the team. So I think he I think from that
42:35
standpoint, I, I'm pretty interested in him.
42:38
All right, that's all I got. Easy peasy.
42:41
Easy peasy. Anything else you guys want to
42:43
chat about? We got a few minutes.
42:45
Can I complain about my fantasy team?
42:47
No, we've already done that like twice.
42:49
Yeah, what are you being a prima Donna?
42:52
This has been episode 61. I dropped off size.
42:54
My name is Keith, I'm with Tifo Enzo.
42:55
We will see you next week. Follow us on all the socials.
43:01
How are we feeling guys? Shut up, Keith.
43:03
You shut you shut your fucking mouth.
43:05
Are. You are you mad that even in
43:09
loss I still I still came out of winner on the weekend?
43:12
It's it's ridiculous, absolutely ridiculous.
43:16
I'm sorry, what can I say? I'm I'm first in both our
43:18
leagues. What can I say on 1st of both
43:21
my? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
43:23
Fucking up like I can't. So why are you so upset and.
43:27
Because I'm sucking right now in both.
43:30
Not even like, there's not even like, oh, I'm not doing too bad
43:33
in this league. Oh.
43:35
Oh, I keep, I think I know what's going on.
43:38
Just realized what we knew like weeks ago that his team is not
43:42
that good. You mean it?
43:44
What? What?
43:45
What do we call it when they graded our team?
43:48
When Skynet. Skynet told you guys, yeah.
43:52
Told me I had a terrible team and I thought Skynet was full of
43:54
shit. I think Skynet was right.
43:59
Well, yeah, so I I lost to Sergey this week, which was a
44:03
bummer. We I had the, I had the second
44:04
highest scoring team in our league and I still got and I
44:08
lost. I think you have the most points
44:09
in both leagues. Then you did this last.
44:11
Then you did this last season too, but didn't get.
44:14
I'm no, I didn't do it last season.
44:16
Not you were like one of the highest scoring, no, when you
44:18
were high scoring. I was high scoring but I would
44:21
kept losing games, yeah. That's what I'm saying.
44:23
You still had you had that, but at least now it's going in your
44:25
favor. Last week I was the high scoring
44:27
team and then Cole Palmer went out for like 50 slipping points
44:30
and Keith just overtook. That'll do it to you.
44:33
Yeah, that'll do it. I got this high score team.
44:39
I had you every time. I've had the high scoring team.
44:41
Never. None.
44:42
Not. Not once.
44:45
Do you feel good about your trade, Enzo?
44:46
So you had a pretty decent trade that you made after last week?
44:49
So what? What?
44:49
Was it again? Tell, tell, tell.
44:51
I gave up. I gave Matson the left back who
44:54
hasn't really been starring for Villa but could be the stars
44:57
very soon, but he hasn't really been doing too much.
44:59
People literally sing on my bench.
45:01
And then I gave up Kudus, who until this weekend obviously
45:06
wasn't really doing too much. And then I got Matawaki and I
45:09
got Harvey Barnes. Matawaki got a goal this weekend
45:13
and Harvey Barnes did OK, didn't do great but I needed a little
45:17
bit more depth in that midfield and I feel like my defence is my
45:20
defence. I'm going to be rotating defence
45:22
anyway. I feel, I feel happy with my
45:23
trade for what I've got. Yeah, it's something where
45:26
initially you're just like in my initial impulse is like, how
45:28
could you give up? Kudos.
45:29
But then I thought about it more and it was just like, well,
45:31
you're getting two really solid players and you're giving up
45:34
like a little bit of upside, but for you, 'cause you're not what,
45:37
you're 3 and 4. So it's like you just needed,
45:39
like you needed to like win now. Yeah, players.
45:42
Right. That's kind of the thought.
45:44
Yeah. Makes sense?
45:46
Also for getting Mazuki, which I think is kind of
45:49
underappreciated because that Chelsea team scores goals and I
45:52
think he's pretty cemented on the right side as well.
45:54
So it's not going to be like Joe, Felix, Nate or anyone else
45:57
if you think they're going to get a started or not.
45:59
I feel like he's pretty cemented in his position.
46:02
Yeah, I think if he if he hadn't played well this week, there
46:05
could have been talk of maybe nuts are coming in.
46:06
I think I mentioned that last week on the pod.
46:08
But he he scored a goal. He looks solid.
46:10
He did a lot of good things. So I think that Tigo's point, I
46:12
think he's kind of until further notice, it's kind of locking it
46:15
in. So I think that ended up being a
46:16
pretty solid trade. Yeah, I know.
46:18
I think on both sides probably. I think it worked out for both
46:20
of us. Yeah, yeah.
46:21
So you guys, so you guys hoping that math thing comes in, but
46:24
for the for the most part, that was pretty much just like a
46:26
throwaway for you. You're like, great, take them,
46:29
you know? Yeah, irrelevant trade.
46:32
Not really. Not rather in the big picture
46:35
in. The whole scheme of things, it's
46:36
an irrelevant trade. And might not I mean as I.
46:38
Say it's in Sergey joint top with all you guys.
46:41
Or like incremental gains you got, you got to make gains where
46:44
you can, you know? I think Sergey team got worse.
46:46
So for me personally, I was like, all right.
46:49
Yeah, yeah, fully. Where?
46:51
Where's Sergey?
