  Can you hear me now? Yeah, that's perfect.
• 0:02
  Oh you're such a bitch. I fucking hate you so.
• 0:05
  It was, it was a little chilly. It was chilly.
• 0:08
  You know what, it was really bad though mate.
• 0:10
  Remember in the chat room I said Chelsea going to spank off and I
• 0:12
  said that because I really thought today Chelsea's going to
• 0:15
  spanked on them. It didn't help that we scored in
• 0:19
  the 1st 11 minutes twice and I was at work, I was in World
• 0:22
  Market just checking out the, you know, the competitors and
• 0:25
  I'm all fucking walking around, they're all fucking happy, you
• 0:28
  know what I mean? And then I don't, I can't check
• 0:30
  because I'm working, I'm busy. And then when I come back and it
• 0:33
  says 4/2, I fucking lost my mind at work.
• 0:35
  I lost my fucking mind. I love it.
• 0:38
  Oh, do you? Do you love it, Keith?
• 0:39
  Do you? Well, you know.
• 0:40
  What's funny is I when they went down to, I immediately looked at
• 0:43
  the odds. I was like, I think Charles is
• 0:45
  still going to win. And then I was like, I literally
• 0:46
  have the bat place and I was like, wait, this isn't my money
• 0:49
  at bat. This this is like our money.
• 0:50
  And I just was like, I like had such an impulse to bet on it.
• 0:53
  And I was like, oh, wait, we don't.
• 0:54
  That's like, that's not the right thing to do, but I regret
• 0:58
  not being selfish there because I was totally right.
• 1:00
  I literally had the bat. Like I had the bat up.
• 1:02
  What? All of a sudden you have morals.
• 1:05
  I know you're. What?
• 1:06
  I've always had morals. You you guys.
• 1:08
  Not this season, Keith. Not this season.
• 1:10
  Reception is a lie the court of you guys are trying to sway the
• 1:13
  court of public opinion about me hello guys hello and welcome to
• 1:26
  episode 68 of draft offsides. I'm with Tico Enzo.
• 1:29
  My name is Keith, and it's been a turbulent, what, last seven
• 1:34
  days? Yeah.
• 1:35
  Safe to say I spanked you last week, felt amazing and I'm on
• 1:40
  the verge of spanking Tico. I I also spanked.
• 1:44
  You guys last week. It was.
• 1:45
  Oh yes, right, That was ADPI. Don't know that's the right
• 1:49
  thing to say about it, but it was uncomfortable.
• 1:52
  To ADP. Yeah, it was, it was rough.
• 1:55
  It was a really rough midweek. It was a really rough midweek.
• 1:59
  OK, OK. It was a really rough midweek,
• 2:02
  but then I feel like we've all had our highs and lows because
• 2:05
  that ends out a pretty rough week just with Tottenham in
• 2:08
  general. And yeah, I.
• 2:09
  Well, wait, wait, wait, wait. Yeah, that's this.
• 2:11
  Stick to fantasy, because fantasy is a lot better right
• 2:14
  now. I'm I'm about to be on A10
• 2:15
  game-winning streak in the main league.
• 2:17
  That is really crazy actually. We're about to be above Tico and
• 2:22
  they'll be shitting on him so. We're doing the episode for
• 2:26
  recapping 2 game weeks. The first game week both of us
• 2:29
  and Zone Keith played and Zone myself played Keith in two
• 2:32
  separate leagues. And The funny thing is, both of
• 2:34
  us and Zone, I have Watkins and he will be, and both of them had
• 2:37
  master games. They went up.
• 2:38
  What was crazy is I was, I think I was the second highest
• 2:41
  scoring. I was the second highest scoring
• 2:42
  team in both leagues. Maybe there was, maybe I was the
• 2:45
  third highest in one, but like I had crazy high scores in both.
• 2:47
  But you guys both just were the two highest scoring teams in
• 2:50
  both. I just did it, yeah.
• 2:52
  I mean, I, I that honestly, that was not upsetting.
• 2:54
  I think I'll be more upset if I lose that game this week because
• 2:56
  I made mistakes. But last week I like did
• 2:58
  everything right and just, it just was one of those things.
• 3:00
  It's like sometimes you, you put, you do the right thing, but
• 3:03
  you still get the and you can't be mad at you can't be.
• 3:05
  You just have to like roll the punches and.
• 3:06
  Get killed on the river you go Enzo.
• 3:10
  Can you stop lying to the people?
• 3:11
  You're going to be on the 8 game-winning streak if you beat
• 3:14
  me. Not ten, I don't.
• 3:15
  Know Oh, I thought it was a 10 game-winning streak.
• 3:17
  Yeah, hey, either way it's good. That's still.
• 3:20
  Are you sure? I'm literally looking at it
• 3:22
  right now. OK, so we had a little bit of an
• 3:24
  agreement before we came onto this pod that we that Enzo was
• 3:28
  refusing to get on unless we didn't talk about the game that
• 3:30
  shall not be named. Are we?
• 3:32
  Are we past that? Enzo?
• 3:34
  Can we can we talk about it? Yeah, I've had a few hours.
• 3:37
  I guess I kind of was hoping for it.
• 3:38
  Do you want to say anything now or do you want to get to it and
• 3:40
  we get to it and let out? That I want to apologize to you,
• 3:43
  Keith, for calling you a cunt. I apologize for calling you a
• 3:46
  cunt. So it was wrong for me to call
• 3:48
  you a cunt even though you said something that was very cuntish.
• 3:52
  What did I say? I don't know that. 3 point lane,
• 3:55
  you piece of shit. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm
• 3:59
  good. But we could talk about the
• 4:00
  game, but that's no, that's like an hour later.
• 4:03
  I don't get it, why do they call it 3 point lane it's been.
• 4:07
  Quite a successful a few years, but I will say I I'm starting to
• 4:11
  think that Tottenham, Chelsea might be the most exciting him
• 4:14
  to watch in the Premier League. Well, I think, I think I agree
• 4:17
  with you. I think Derby wise in London, I
• 4:19
  think it's the most exciting one over the last like 4-5 years,
• 4:22
  that's for sure. Yeah, it's awesome.
• 4:24
  Yeah. Should we just pop into studs
• 4:25
  and duds get firing? Let's go.
• 4:28
  Who we got? So obviously I'm not going to
• 4:31
  mention Cole Palmer, who had an amazing two games, so we'll talk
• 4:34
  about him later on. He was the highest running
• 4:36
  player, but the first one we have is William Saliba from said
• 4:39
  Peace FC scored two goals and both of them were side pieces.
• 4:44
  He's averaging 17.8 points. I'm sorry.
• 4:46
  He's averaging 7.8 points per game for the year, which for
• 4:50
  center back it's pretty good. It's no Van Dyke, but he's
• 4:53
  pretty elite center back both him and Gabriel.
• 4:56
  And these are combined over the two weeks, right?
• 4:59
  Correct. Yeah, Yeah.
• 4:59
  So this is like just like a general like from midweek and
• 5:02
  this so. OK, cool.
• 5:03
  That makes sense. Yeah, Celiba, it's funny because
• 5:05
  Gabrielle seems to generate more points, I think just because of
• 5:07
  the set pieces. But with Gabrielle injured, it
• 5:09
  looks like Celiba is now like the X man on all those set piece
• 5:11
  plays, to borrow a football term.
• 5:13
  Yeah, it seems like he's can take took advantage of that with
• 5:16
  some with some goals this weekend.
• 5:18
  So how long is he out? Is he on concussion protocol?
• 5:20
  Is that what it is? I have a feeling everything I
• 5:23
  read was saying that it looks like he'll be back like fairly
• 5:25
  soon. It's not like some.
• 5:28
  He might play this week in the Champions League.
• 5:30
  Yeah, like I don't think, I don't think either him or
• 5:32
  California were really bad injuries.
• 5:33
  It was just unfortunate it happened on a week where.
• 5:35
  They took two games. Got it.
• 5:38
  Yeah. And yeah, OK.
• 5:41
  I mean, Selena, you're probably going to start and you're happy,
• 5:44
  but I think, I think, I think he's probably not going to be as
• 5:47
  crucial on the set pieces once Gabriel's back.
• 5:50
  Gabriel's just a fucking monster on set piece for us.
• 5:53
  Yeah, yeah, but he's he's not a bad second you.
• 5:55
  Know what I mean? No, no bad second or Yeah, OK,
• 5:58
  who else we have? Second one we have is Alexander
• 6:00
  Isak, 49 points. He scored 32 points in one game
• 6:04
  at 17 in the other game. Two goals, one assist and he had
• 6:08
  seven key passes, which for center forward, that's pretty
• 6:10
  amazing. You love to see that.
• 6:12
  You love to see that first center forward.
• 6:14
  I've been, I've been saying. This guy is, yeah.
• 6:17
  This guy's fit man. He's fucking world class man.
• 6:20
  Well you see the goals he taken and even the assist.
• 6:23
  It's just pure class. If he stays fit, he's definitely
• 6:26
  up there. I don't think he's score as a
• 6:28
  season like Harlan has, but I think overall he has like a a
• 6:31
  better season than what Watkins had last season.
• 6:33
  Really. Yeah, that's what I feel.
• 6:34
  Yeah. You know what?
• 6:35
  That goal that he scored kind of from outside the box when he was
• 6:38
  he was kind of on a run. I was having visions of the
• 6:40
  Mario Balotelli goal that he scored for Italy, where then he
• 6:43
  took off his shirt and did like the, you know, it was like a
• 6:46
  very similar, just like just absolute laser beam into the
• 6:49
  court, top corner it. Was it was it was precise, but
• 6:52
  there's more power like I'm fucking banging down to the roof
• 6:54
  and net no keepers gain. It was it was a good goal.
• 6:56
  I like Isaac. I think, like you said before,
• 6:59
  it's it's injuries really. If he's injured, then you're
• 7:01
  pissed off. But when he's playing he's a
• 7:03
  threat. So that's a.
• 7:04
  That's a instant, instant start for me.
• 7:07
  Oh yeah, Speaking of, it was kind of funny because he looked
• 7:09
  like he was injured going into going into this week.
• 7:12
  And so we literally our last episode was called Esac Hex
• 7:14
  because I was talking about his injuries, but then he like kind
• 7:16
  of bounced back. So that's that's also reassuring
• 7:18
  too, because there's certain players that seems like they get
• 7:20
  like a scratch and they're out. Yeah, that's not what you want
• 7:23
  to see. And Esac, no, it's like he
• 7:24
  seemed like he had a little something going on, but he was
• 7:26
  able to still fight through it and play two really good games.
• 7:29
  So cool. OK.
• 7:30
  Then just moving on to duds. A familiar name, Leon Bailey, 22
• 7:35
  games he total of 4 points and he started both of those games
• 7:38
  played 64 minutes and 58 minutes.
• 7:40
  I actually thought about picking him up as a spot start for the
• 7:43
  for this week's game and feels like he's cooked when it comes
• 7:47
  to fantasy wise. Look, look, that's my fault.
• 7:50
  My bad. All right?
• 7:51
  I love Bailey. I loved him last season.
• 7:53
  He he helped me get to where I need to be.
• 7:55
  But this season, what is it? This guy's cooked in fantasy.
• 7:59
  He's fucking done. Put a fork in him.
• 8:01
  I dropped him in my other league so.
• 8:04
  I traded him to you and then you dropped him like a week later,
• 8:07
  literally that that that trade just felt like a like a morale
• 8:11
  thing because you because I'd swooped him from you in the
• 8:13
  draft. And so you were just kind of
• 8:15
  getting me back a little it. Honestly makes no sense.
• 8:17
  Like it's kind of baffling. He went from last year averaging
• 8:20
  1010 points to this year he's averaging 2.9 and 10.
• 8:24
  Ten goals, 9 assists, almost a double, 00 goals to two assists
• 8:27
  this. Year this doesn't seem like he's
• 8:28
  driving at players like last year he would he would run at
• 8:31
  people and it was just like he just looked so he looked at it
• 8:34
  was so easy for him to get past people and this year just it's
• 8:36
  not happening. I don't know if it's tactical or
• 8:39
  I don't know what's going on, but I just don't think he's like
• 8:40
  really the right fit for the Emory system, but.
• 8:43
  Same team, same manager. It's.
• 8:45
  I know it's weird. I'd be interested to see how
• 8:47
  many times he's been dispossessed this season.
• 8:50
  I think we can look it up pretty easily and while T goes looking
• 8:52
  it up, I'll tell you guys I I picked him up yesterday morning
• 8:56
  and played a. Few.
• 8:57
  No, it was bad, my thought. And I thought like, I was like,
• 9:01
  you know, like, obviously these game weeks there's just like a
• 9:03
  lot of players that were arrested between them.
• 9:06
  So I was like, oh shit, oh shit. And so I was like, fuck it.
• 9:09
  Like Bailey, I was like, Villa's playing Southampton.
• 9:11
  If there's going to be a game where Bailey's going to get
• 9:13
  points, it's going to be against Southampton.
• 9:14
  That was my mindset. I was like, yeah, Villa is
• 9:16
  definitely going to score more goals, blah, blah, blah.
• 9:18
  Fucking Villa scored one goal and we're like, so?
• 9:22
  But he's he's still worked out for you're still going to win
• 9:24
  your match up this week, so you're fine.
• 9:26
  Well, we'll see. Knock on wood, still one more
• 9:28
  game to go. The Monday game does does that.
• 9:32
  18 times. Yeah, that's not good.
• 9:35
  That's like nearly twice against that 1.5, a game that's already
• 9:38
  like what -3 points right off the bat.
• 9:41
  And when you factor in that he usually doesn't play 90 minutes,
• 9:43
  that's like per minute, the numbers probably way higher.
• 9:46
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think he's he's absolutely
• 9:49
  kryptonite. You do not even have anywhere
• 9:51
  near a bench if he can't score points against Southampton.
• 9:55
  And I think now he also, I think he came up injured in the game.
• 9:57
  It's just like, OK, let's start talking about it.
• 9:59
  Yes, gross. Move on.
• 10:01
  The second one is an interesting one.
• 10:02
  Kay Haverts across two games, 11 points, Had one assist, which
• 10:06
  really, I don't know if you guys saw it, was not an assist.
• 10:08
  The corner came to him. He tried to shoot on goal, went
• 10:12
  to saliva. Did it?
• 10:14
  Yeah. So that he had that assist, has
• 10:16
  one goal in his last seven games, only five key passes and
• 10:19
  only two shots on target in the last seven games.
• 10:22
  Panic tag. What is what's different from
• 10:25
  the beginning of the season to the last seven games?
• 10:27
  Can you tell? I couldn't tell you.
• 10:29
  That's why I was asking. Like the team has stayed the
• 10:31
  same the way the attack has stayed the same.
• 10:33
  But it feels like all of a sudden, as the season's gone on,
• 10:36
  they've become so reliant on set pieces.
• 10:38
  And Haverts has nothing to do with set pieces.
• 10:41
  You know what I mean? Yeah, he's not one of the
• 10:43
  targets. He's not as much of one of the
• 10:44
  targets as some of these center backs.
• 10:46
  I don't know if there is a single thing.
• 10:48
  I mean, obviously there was a period of time at the beginning
• 10:50
  of the season where Habits was on fire, right?
• 10:52
  He's absolutely crushing it. And then it seemed like when
• 10:54
  Odegard got injured, the whole team was really stagnant.
• 10:58
  And then Odegard came back and looked pretty good for the first
• 11:00
  few games. And then the what, the last two
• 11:02
  this week, they were both kind of, they felt like they're back
• 11:05
  like stuffed up again, like they feel like congested, like they
• 11:08
  can't quite like get balls through and do that.
• 11:10
  So they're relying on set pieces.
• 11:12
  But it's a weird, it's a weird set up there.
• 11:15
  I know. But let's look at the teams he
• 11:17
  scored against. Wolves.
• 11:18
  Not a good team. OK, No, no, no, you're right.
• 11:20
  Defensively, not a good team. Go.
• 11:21
  On they give up, yeah, Leicester City not a good team,
• 11:24
  Southampton not a good team, West Ham not a good team and I
• 11:28
  think. Yeah, yeah.
• 11:30
  And that's a really good point to you go, yeah, so.
• 11:33
  He's been eating against the crappy teams and obviously as
• 11:35
  the year goes on he's gonna be getting more tired and it's not
• 11:38
  gonna be easy to score against the bottom of the table teams as
• 11:41
  well. Yeah, and it's hard to bench.
• 11:43
  I've bench him a couple times. It's worked out for me.
• 11:44
  It's like, honestly, like Ralph Jimenez and he's actually been
• 11:48
  on fire. I'd rather start him than have
• 11:50
  us right now. Yeah, I mean, I think, I think
• 11:52
  with strikers, I always say this, but I think with strikers
• 11:55
  you really gotta ride the hot head on form, you know?
• 11:57
  Yeah, it's so much more form dependent than like midfielders
• 12:00
  and defenders, I feel like. Yeah.
• 12:02
  So next Premier League game for Arsenal is Everton, after that's
• 12:04
  Crystal Palace. That's going to be a tough game
• 12:07
  for habits. Yeah, I mean, but those are also
• 12:11
  the matchups you want. I know Everton has defensively
• 12:13
  been pretty solid, but Crystal Palace has gotten better.
• 12:17
  But those are still favorable matchups.
• 12:18
  So as much as we're saying like like that, that those might be
• 12:22
  the types of games where you would turn it.
• 12:24
  Around, yeah. But yeah, but the Tigo's point
• 12:26
  too, I think the team that he played out the worst defenses in
• 12:28
  the league, the teams he scored again.
• 12:30
  So he's probably the top, He scored like five goals this
• 12:32
  season and they're probably all against the worst defenses in
• 12:35
  the league. OK, moving on.
• 12:38
  Moving on. All right, matches.
• 12:39
  So we have so many matches. So we're gonna like power
• 12:42
  through like like powers through this stuff.
• 12:44
  So let's say we're skipping some of these games.
• 12:48
  We're gonna go the Leicester 3 West Ham one.
• 12:50
  That was Ruben Nusra's first game, and I kind of wanted to
• 12:52
  chat maybe a second game, but I really need to chat briefly.
• 12:54
  Are we starting to believe in Leicester players a little more?
• 12:58
  Not, you know, not. Yet you're a little more.
• 13:00
  You've got to see some consistency.
• 13:02
  How many times we've seen it? Look at Man United when the new
• 13:04
  Magic came in, they played well and then boom, shit the bet.
• 13:07
  I like Leicester. I think there's some interesting
• 13:10
  steps. I think some of the attacking
• 13:11
  players are good. I know they're Canus who went
• 13:14
  off this game. Yeah, he's not, he's not really
• 13:16
  rostered very highly. But is it more you star based on
• 13:20
  who they're playing against? Because again, they play against
• 13:22
  West Ham and we just spoke about how bad they are defensively.
• 13:24
  Is it because of their opponent or is it because of the team?
• 13:27
  Totally. I think that's super fair.
• 13:29
  I also think that you can still be, you can be hotter on lesser
• 13:33
  players and not be like all in on me now.
• 13:35
  Like I think I'm definitely more interested in them because of
• 13:37
  Fidel's are there, you know, Yeah.
• 13:39
  But but yeah, I think that's the biggest thing.
• 13:41
  Another thing to call out or we can talk about it a little bit
• 13:44
  later. I was just going to talk about
• 13:46
  Fulcrag, but Bowen 20 points in this first game and then this
• 13:50
  the second game of the week. They play on Monday.
• 13:52
  So this I guess we'll find out what happens there.
• 13:53
  Yeah, but Bowen's been quietly, incredibly good this year.
• 13:58
  Very quietly, though he hasn't really been getting the plaudits
• 14:00
  because West Ham's been so bad. But even on a bad team, he's
• 14:03
  been doing really well. Still getting the points fantasy
• 14:05
  was. Ranked eight overall ahead of
• 14:07
  Bruno Fernandez. Fucking nuts.
• 14:09
  And the head of Iwobi, all right.
• 14:12
  Moving on, this was a crazy one. Everton 4, Wolves 0, Everton
• 14:15
  defenders back at it. We've been talking about them.
• 14:17
  I think like Ashley Young, this is a crazy sign.
• 14:20
  This is the week that I played against him too and he scored 29
• 14:23
  points and it was, you know, he's the oldest player in the
• 14:26
  Premier League, just scored from a set piece.
• 14:28
  No. Yeah, oldest player and it was
• 14:31
  that was his first ever seen goal.
• 14:33
  But he's been scoring points all season, so he.
• 14:35
  Just guess what, he did it against me when I but I needed
• 14:37
  him to not Nikolenko 19.25, Tarkowski 14.
• 14:42
  I have to wait 12.5. I will say the one thing that's
• 14:44
  concerning about every time I just want to call out is there
• 14:46
  after, you know, obviously this over the weekend that it's a
• 14:49
  good game too. But after this they have a
• 14:50
  really, really tough schedule. So I think as much as we were
• 14:53
  talking about Everton, I'm not super in on them for the next
• 14:56
  few games because that's like for them it looks like it's
• 15:00
  Arsenal, Chelsea, City, Forest, Bournemouth.
• 15:05
  I'm not going to count them out, I'm not going to say they're
• 15:06
  going to win all those games, but we've seen it that they
• 15:09
  don't really let in that mate, they don't really score.
• 15:10
  They won't score this many again, but they don't really let
• 15:13
  in that many goals like. The Arsenal, I just think
• 15:15
  they're just I just against that round of games, Arsenal,
• 15:18
  Chelsea, City, that's going to be wrong.
• 15:20
  Maybe the worst. But this is probably the best
• 15:23
  time to play C. Yeah, it's a good time to play
• 15:25
  Arsenal too, if you really think about it.
• 15:27
  Like the Arsenal game I could see go in like 10 Arsenal way
• 15:30
  with assembly. Yeah.
• 15:32
  And then City is 3 and end of December, so I think that's like
• 15:34
  Boxing Day match so. By then you'll see.
• 15:36
  You never know how it's going to be like, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 15:40
  But yeah, just just a call, like a call of warning for these
• 15:43
  Everton defenders that we've been, we've been really hot on.
• 15:46
  I like them. I'm sticking with it.
• 15:48
  You like? Them young.
• 15:49
  I like them young. Next one city 340 KDB started,
• 15:54
  got 33.75 points. God it felt so good for me to be
• 15:57
  back. It did.
• 15:59
  City team tech. It also felt good.
• 16:00
  Steve Doku back. Yeah, Doku 27.5.
• 16:04
  It's just tough. These are only plays you went
• 16:07
  against. I know everyone, it was
• 16:09
  literally every player I went against in the midweek.
• 16:11
  Which? Is what off?
• 16:13
  Absolutely. Just off bananas.
• 16:15
  The thing with Doku though is that he had this amazing game,
• 16:17
  then Tico as you found out this weekend, he then he didn't start
• 16:21
  this game. Honestly, I saw it coming,
• 16:23
  coming off an injury and then two games within what, four or
• 16:25
  five days? I've and then Champions League
• 16:27
  figure on the corner, yeah. Yeah, but yeah, I mean, that was
• 16:31
  big. It was a big win for a city.
• 16:32
  But then of course, like, you know, they just can't seem to
• 16:35
  keep together. Newcastle 3, Liverpool 3 is the
• 16:37
  next game. What a game was.
• 16:39
  This game, yeah, absolutely the same. 36 points, 2 balls to
• 16:43
  assists Esac 32 points goal and assists Gordon 21 points with a
• 16:47
  goal. Brutal game.
• 16:48
  Gibberish Actually having a good game like 20.5 points with two
• 16:52
  assists. Yeah.
• 16:53
  I mean, this is, I kind of, I think I called it out in the
• 16:55
  last episode that this was to me it seemed like a type of game
• 16:57
  coming off the emotional win against City where Liverpool
• 17:00
  might drop some points like just so close after so.
• 17:03
  And the Newcastle played really well.
• 17:05
  Gordon was amazing this game. Yes, that was amazing this game.
• 17:08
  But. Salah was amazing.
• 17:10
  Salah is inevitable. Did you see the crossbar he hit?
• 17:14
  Yeah. However he got that shot off,
• 17:16
  it's amazing. Solid, solid Thanos.
• 17:18
  Is that what? Is that what you're?
• 17:19
  Saying he's inevitable. That motherfucker is inevitable.
• 17:23
  That is that pause for the outside of the boot to Curtis
• 17:26
  Jones. Was it this game or was that the
• 17:28
  next game? No it.
• 17:30
  Was this game, It was this game because for the goal.
• 17:32
  Yeah, yeah, for the goal outside of the boot, like could've,
• 17:35
  could've went down to the byline, but he is.
• 17:38
  Yeah, he's doesn't. We talk about like good players
• 17:42
  and how they adjust their game over time.
• 17:44
  And that's why why why we're talking about like Zimbabwe
• 17:47
  struggles right now because as he has gotten a little slower,
• 17:49
  he hasn't improved his game in other areas.
• 17:51
  Saul is a great example where he used to be the speed, even as
• 17:54
  that speed lapsem, he's just figured out ways to score and
• 17:57
  figured out ways to contribute, you know?
• 17:58
  Yeah, no, all all. They really did put something in
• 18:01
  his knees when he got his hair transplants 1.
• 18:03
  Of one of my friends was a Chelsea fan.
• 18:05
  You know, he was happy today. How happy Chelsea can I should
• 18:09
  say he asked me a question. He said how would you think does
• 18:11
  it stack up solace time with Liverpool against the RE 100
• 18:14
  Arsenal and he was saying like comparable who's is better and
• 18:19
  it makes you think it's. I think it's really valid, a
• 18:21
  very valid conversation, I think if.
• 18:23
  If you go by trophies, then it's it's going to be solid because
• 18:27
  he won a Champions League and he's won what, a league.
• 18:30
  He wins another league. I know.
• 18:32
  And then don't get wrong, you got a member, I think Terry, I'm
• 18:36
  a Tolman fan. I'll tell you, Terry Reid was
• 18:37
  fucking an amazing player, a fucking amazing goal scorer, but
• 18:40
  he couldn't get past the Champions League and it was only
• 18:43
  really Arsenal and May United. It was only Arsenal Man United
• 18:47
  during those years. Liverpool was there, but they
• 18:49
  weren't there. This is a seat, This is a league
• 18:52
  that has Arsenal, Man City and Liverpool, all fine for it and
• 18:55
  you've got these other. I think there's so many more
• 18:58
  bets. That's really.
• 18:58
  Competitive. Yeah.
• 18:59
  Yeah, everything's bad. I agree.
• 19:01
  I mean, in his defense, how he did get to the final.
• 19:03
  Yeah, but then he But then they let Belletti score a right back
• 19:07
  Barcelona. I'm sorry.
• 19:09
  I guess 10 men. Whatever.
• 19:11
  It's a facto. They lost, yeah, but.
• 19:13
  Premier League legend nonetheless.
• 19:14
  Yeah, yeah, Southampton won Chelsea 5, Nadaway K 28.5 who I
• 19:20
  played against again, absolutely Peach of a game and then got
• 19:24
  benched. But I did start in Cuckoo and
• 19:27
  Palmer. You know, and they.
• 19:29
  Got and they had good. They both had Cuckoo with a goal
• 19:31
  and an assist Power with a goal. How did that work out?
• 19:35
  Well, I didn't win, but I ^2 a still squared a ton of points
• 19:38
  are we go with 21 points in this game is I think that's like a
• 19:41
  shot in the dark though. I'm not playing anyone from
• 19:43
  Southampton. You know, even even if it's
• 19:45
  whatever Southampton lost this game themselves, we can just
• 19:47
  talk about two like they. Yeah, like, you know what?
• 19:52
  That they're really bad. They're really Have you watched
• 19:54
  them play? Yeah, I mean, they they try and
• 19:56
  play well, but then they just make horrible mistakes.
• 19:59
  Like it's, it's nothing like Burnley lost season.
• 20:01
  Burnley was trying to play out the backache, but you could see
• 20:03
  what it was. They just didn't have the
• 20:04
  players to do it. These guys aren't the players to
• 20:07
  do it and they just they they make Sunday league mistakes.
• 20:11
  Totally, Yeah. South anthem's out.
• 20:14
  I'm calling it. Oh my God.
• 20:15
  Oh yeah, without a doubt. Arsenal 2, United 0.
• 20:18
  Not much there. Kind of a boring game.
• 20:19
  Set these two, set these goals to leave at 20.5 points.
• 20:22
  We talked about Villa 3, Brentford 1.
• 20:24
  Villa kind of got the group back the walk in 29.5 cash, 21 cash,
• 20:29
  26% roster. Interesting.
• 20:31
  Damsgard, he's been continued to be very good like this is
• 20:34
  another quietly, consistently good player that's been winning
• 20:37
  managers the league winning managers, teams that pick them
• 20:40
  up, I feel. Like there's there's like what?
• 20:42
  Like at least 5 midfielders in this league that are quietly
• 20:45
  doing it. You got you got dance card.
• 20:48
  Iwobi Bowen. And then White McNeil, Yeah,
• 20:52
  they're the guys with a value for where you got him or where
• 20:55
  you picked him up. It's just like, insane.
• 20:56
  Gloria Rogers had a good game again.
• 20:58
  Good to see you. Did you say?
• 21:00
  Harvey Barnes. Harvey Yeah.
• 21:01
  It's not all the time, though. That's all it's.
• 21:03
  A good game. Bournemouth 1, Spur 0 This is a
• 21:07
  weird one too. Yeah.
• 21:09
  Just an odd day. Who the fuck is that guy?
• 21:11
  Who's Hoisen? Who is that guy?
• 21:13
  Excellent question. Who is that guy?
• 21:15
  I know nothing. I couldn't say anything.
• 21:18
  I know Semenya was out, so I'm not sure if he was there.
• 21:21
  Oh no, he's a young, wasn't he? He's a young kid.
• 21:23
  He's like, he's like an 18 year old kid.
• 21:24
  Did you see him? He did that chill guy.
• 21:26
  Like when he scored. He didn't.
• 21:27
  No, I score it. I just don't know.
• 21:28
  Who the you know, the media is like that.
• 21:29
  I'm a chill guy like that. Yeah, he didn't know I got it.
• 21:33
  He did. It's pretty funny, you know.
• 21:34
  Was it? Yeah, no, I know the character
• 21:36
  with the hands in the pocket. I.
• 21:38
  Got a chill guy. Can do it.
• 21:40
  Fucking it's funny, I thought it was great to see Tyler Adams get
• 21:43
  15 points. Had some key passes.
• 21:45
  Yep. He's actually with a game says
• 21:47
  he's kind of been eased in slowly and the games that he's
• 21:49
  been in have been pretty good. Like he's like decent he, but
• 21:52
  it's, it's weird because he's a weird player where a lot of his
• 21:54
  points are coming from defensive actions.
• 21:57
  There's not a lot of players where they get the majority of
• 21:58
  the points in the midfield from defensive actions.
• 22:01
  No. But like he seems to be doing it
• 22:03
  if he's if he could add a few key passes like he did in this
• 22:05
  game that he's we were talking like a lot of points coming
• 22:08
  through so. You want you want mid teams
• 22:10
  would be real nice. Yeah, all right.
• 22:12
  Last game of the first game week full on three Brighton, one Obi
• 22:15
  Wan who I played against and Obi Wan is Alex Iwobi.
• 22:17
  Obviously I played against win both my matchups and he had 29
• 22:20
  points. And I also played against
• 22:21
  Robinson, one of my matchups, he had 21.25 points, so Ouch.
• 22:26
  I pleaded to him like a Princess Leia did, to win this game for
• 22:30
  me. And it worked out for you.
• 22:31
  You're my only hope. Are we 1 Kenobi?
• 22:34
  Oh my God, stupid game. Week 15 Everton versus Liverpool
• 22:40
  postponed. God blessing for Liverpool.
• 22:42
  But that hurt a lot of people. It did.
• 22:44
  It did. But I just say that might have
• 22:46
  cost Kitiko his game week against you this week definitely
• 22:49
  made it way less competitive that match.
• 22:51
  Up definitely did. I mean.
• 22:53
  Can we be honest, though? Yeah, it did.
• 22:54
  I'm not saying it didn't. It definitely did.
• 22:56
  But I think everyone got hurt this week.
• 22:58
  We all knew it was going to happen.
• 22:59
  We didn't know who was dying. It was.
• 23:01
  Crazy. Yeah, this.
• 23:02
  Is one of those, and there's going to be the last one.
• 23:04
  There's at least one more. But this is where this is that
• 23:06
  separates the men from the boys. Yeah, the yeah, the good
• 23:08
  managers and the bad managers, yeah.
• 23:10
  The thing that hurt me most is I have 4 Liverpool players that
• 23:13
  are essentially must start. Luis Sala, Sobaslay.
• 23:16
  And then I also had a everything defender, Tarkovsky, who I
• 23:19
  didn't want to drop for a matchup.
• 23:20
  He's averaging almost 10 points so I had no one to drop pretty
• 23:24
  much. So I was like, you know what?
• 23:25
  You gotta just eat it. What you should do is you should
• 23:27
  make a trade for your local players because you're relying
• 23:29
  too much on one team. I yes, but sobus fly right now
• 23:35
  it's a kind of a sell low I. Think he's sell high?
• 23:39
  He might get sell high, actually, I don't know.
• 23:41
  Yeah. It's a good change but when you
• 23:43
  look at like if you look at his your total average, he's only
• 23:46
  averaging 7.6. Ideally I would want to trade
• 23:48
  Luis Diaz away cuz I have two forwards but it's also good.
• 23:53
  Let's say one of those like most dollars old Luis DS is one of
• 23:56
  them goes injured. The other ones values going to
• 23:57
  go up so. I hear you, but you should just
• 24:00
  ask Keith for some advice on how to trade bank somebody because
• 24:03
  he's been really good at it. He'd just be a nice guy.
• 24:05
  You're not a fucking nice guy. Yeah, you just, you got to know
• 24:10
  what people want, you know? Did he was a nice.
• 24:12
  Guy, you got to take him out. Oh, he was a nice guy, that's
• 24:16
  true. That's an accusation I resent.
• 24:19
  Or you just gotta take them out on a weekend away somewhere, our
• 24:21
  winery, and all of a sudden you go fucking 3 brand new.
• 24:24
  Players. Yeah, that's not how it works.
• 24:26
  Is that how it worked? I think that's how it happened.
• 24:28
  No way. Don't even don't start spread
• 24:30
  lies. Okay?
• 24:31
  Bradford moving on. Brentford 4, Newcastle 2
• 24:34
  Brentford home record seven wins from 8:00.
• 24:36
  I think their way record is atrocious.
• 24:37
  Stuff. Yeah, it's atrocious.
• 24:39
  And Buemmo 28.75 points goal of an assist James Murphy with
• 24:43
  20.25 for Newcastle whistle with 18 points east side 17 points
• 24:47
  bar and 17 points got a goal he came in for ATV Gordon that
• 24:51
  really screwed me over 2. I got screwed over a lot in a
• 24:54
  lot of ways. Happy to see barn score.
• 24:55
  We talked to him last week, but he starts his good money, just
• 24:57
  good points so they. Like you like you have to, in a
• 25:00
  way. Because I mean, could you see
• 25:02
  what Gordon, Could you have him? Yeah, but he isn't years and
• 25:06
  guaranteed like you playing Gordon on the left.
• 25:08
  That's why I fucking guaranteed 12 points.
• 25:11
  I feel like roughly around the area with Barnes it's like 7-8
• 25:15
  maybe and then if he scores, then he gets up to the teams
• 25:18
  because he doesn't do. I don't think he does have the
• 25:20
  key passes as well as Gordon does.
• 25:22
  He doesn't get it to you know what I.
• 25:23
  Mean he's a lot more direct. So I think Gordon is a little
• 25:26
  more creative and goes the line Murphy's literally just going
• 25:29
  for. He's driving the goal.
• 25:31
  I have a chance yet. So which is good from affinity
• 25:33
  standpoint. But yeah, I agree.
• 25:34
  Yeah, great game that a lot of a lot of goals, a lot of points
• 25:36
  behind this spread from Newcastle again, unfair.
• 25:38
  It seems like every single one of the games is high scoring.
• 25:41
  It's like that like you sound of a bitch.
• 25:42
  I'm in from Rick and Morty, that meme, but it's like every time
• 25:44
  Brentford plays the ball is just like you sound of a bitch.
• 25:47
  Back of the night. 31 scored, 28 conceited. 30 scored, 28
• 25:54
  Conceited. Yeah. 31 to 20, that's a lot of
• 25:57
  goals. +2 yeah Oh yeah. Next game, Palace 2, City two.
• 26:01
  Another shocker for City. I just what is going on?
• 26:05
  OK so I was listening to I forgot his name but he's one of
• 26:07
  the guys on TFO podcast. He's like, I forgot his name,
• 26:10
  but he was talking about how it's there.
• 26:13
  So it's a little bit slower in their press than they or no,
• 26:15
  their possession is worse than it's ever been.
• 26:18
  And so because of that, when they press, they're having to
• 26:20
  press more because they're losing the ball more and it's
• 26:23
  causing the slower and tying them out and the press isn't as
• 26:26
  effective because they're losing the ball more because they're
• 26:28
  because it's hiring them out. So it's like they had no control
• 26:31
  filled. Yeah.
• 26:32
  So it's like the self fulfilling kind of thing going on prophecy,
• 26:34
  you know? Yeah.
• 26:36
  So I thought that was really, that was a really interesting
• 26:38
  perspective. So yeah, Nunez 24 points and
• 26:41
  assists. And then from the Palace side,
• 26:43
  Will Hughes had a great game to assist as a was kept pretty
• 26:47
  quiet. They really so he really
• 26:49
  nullified as a but Will Hughes stepped up in that spot.
• 26:52
  Max Lacroix had a really good game.
• 26:54
  And I think it's really important to point out that
• 26:57
  Palace is finally A-Team that's looking good again because they
• 27:00
  were, it was rough in the 1st 30 of the season for them.
• 27:03
  I think they're, I think they're finally getting into that place
• 27:05
  where you can start like picking up some of their defenders or
• 27:08
  looking at some of their attacking players off wave areas
• 27:10
  and be like, oh, this could be interesting.
• 27:11
  Like, I think they're kind of getting back to the place that
• 27:13
  they were last year when they were kind of one of the surprise
• 27:15
  packages. Yeah, maybe I hear you, but it's
• 27:18
  just I'm just worried about how many goals they lay in.
• 27:21
  Like where he's been really good.
• 27:23
  Lacroix's been hit or miss. Lacroix was really good at the
• 27:25
  beginning of the season. I know he scored the scored this
• 27:27
  game. I like the only put honestly the
• 27:29
  only one I really want. There's only like 2 players from
• 27:31
  there I want which is Eze and GUI because they're the only
• 27:34
  ones that. Munez is really good, yeah.
• 27:38
  Munez is ranked overall. Let me see, He's ranked 12th
• 27:42
  overall. Not the defenders, just overall
• 27:45
  fantasy total points. Yeah.
• 27:46
  I mean, I was really hotter than at the beginning of the year.
• 27:48
  I just, he didn't come to me and drafts my position.
• 27:50
  I was bummed, but I've, I was saying that I think I, I'm on
• 27:53
  record saying that. I think Columbia wins the the
• 27:56
  Copa if he was not suspended for the final.
• 27:58
  Yeah. And I really think that part go
• 28:01
  back. Their last four games they
• 28:02
  haven't lost. They won one tie 3 and they've
• 28:05
  given up and two of the one clean sheet, two goals, two
• 28:08
  goals and one goal, which when you think about your giving up
• 28:12
  the first goal, you're not losing anything.
• 28:13
  That's only -2 and two games then goals succeeded.
• 28:15
  So even last year, Keith, you mentioned it, remember we were
• 28:18
  very high on their defense until should hit the fan.
• 28:20
  But there is a lot of value in Crystal Palace and I remember
• 28:23
  last year their defense was pretty valuable as well.
• 28:26
  Yeah, and they play with the back 3.
• 28:27
  So you think there should be enough cover, you know, so I
• 28:29
  don't know, just something to think about.
• 28:31
  Like there's such such an ebb and flow of team form in the the
• 28:34
  Premier League. So it's like just trying to ride
• 28:36
  those moments when a team's looking a little better and then
• 28:39
  trying to like avoid the moments where teams are looking bad.
• 28:41
  So yeah, OK, moving on next team United 2-3.
• 28:44
  This is a bit of a shocker, huh? It seemed like like United had
• 28:47
  had some really promising moments.
• 28:49
  So even I guess an Arsenal game, like I thought they, they really
• 28:52
  nullified Arsenal and there's obviously 2 set pieces.
• 28:54
  That is what it is. But there's kind of a wild game.
• 28:56
  Tigo, what did you what did you think about this?
• 28:59
  It was a wild game, but to me, obviously it's the manager came
• 29:02
  out and said it's going to take some time for them to, you know,
• 29:04
  find the pieces and you know their lineups.
• 29:06
  To me, I look at the way the team played and the team would
• 29:08
  kind of puts in the effort and there seems to be more fight in
• 29:12
  the team than with during than Hog.
• 29:15
  Already you feel that already. Yeah, and I gotta say, Hoyland
• 29:19
  has an amazing celebration. He just, he scores so rarely
• 29:21
  that you're not going to see it. Very.
• 29:22
  Often, but I I don't think I saw the celebration well.
• 29:25
  So he does like the gladiator, like thumbs up, thumbs down.
• 29:28
  It goes starts like this, then thumbs down and slashes the
• 29:31
  throat. I actually love that.
• 29:33
  Yeah. I actually literally want to own
• 29:34
  him. I'm going to see if I can trade
• 29:35
  for him now after that. Oh.
• 29:36
  My. God, you don't have to give up
• 29:37
  much. I don't know is Forest United's
• 29:40
  got goes back a long time. It's got a lot of history.
• 29:42
  This, this matchup, I don't know it was.
• 29:44
  I felt like Forests are going to win this.
• 29:46
  Game. This is the first they they won
• 29:48
  an Old Trafford in 30 years, right?
• 29:49
  Yeah. That's I mean.
• 29:52
  It's a big matchup. It's an old rivalry.
• 29:54
  And I just, I don't the way forests have been playing and
• 29:56
  the way they've been attacking and the way Man United is so
• 29:59
  fragile at times. And like you said, Rubens, like
• 30:02
  he's got everyone on fucking rotation.
• 30:04
  Yeah, I think this will show to figure out his best.
• 30:06
  But I, I to me, I felt like this was his best lineup in the sense
• 30:10
  of like, maybe it wasn't after the game, but when you're going
• 30:13
  into that, when you're going to the game, you saw the lineup it
• 30:15
  did, you were like, this is a pretty good lineup.
• 30:17
  Like I didn't like the set up back.
• 30:18
  You didn't like I thought that was like the licked in the
• 30:20
  middle with Martinez and Euro on either side.
• 30:22
  Seems like it makes sense from like I.
• 30:23
  Didn't like euro. I would have much rather than
• 30:26
  Mesrawi on the right side because he played so well on
• 30:28
  that right side. Yeah, that's.
• 30:30
  Fair. And they can like transition
• 30:31
  into a PAC four. Yeah, but.
• 30:35
  Shout out Milinkovic scoring in the first like 30 like 3090
• 30:38
  seconds. That's the thing though, it's
• 30:40
  interesting with that is that was the third step.
• 30:42
  He's a quarter goal that let in in a row, so it's clearly that's
• 30:46
  a problem. Yeah, I know.
• 30:47
  What about that? Yeah, also you could put this
• 30:49
  game on on Anna as well. The goal of my thought Gibbs
• 30:52
  White. What do you think that was?
• 30:54
  So do you think it was like you couldn't really like, I think
• 30:56
  that wasn't that that ball, the slightest little knuckle to it
• 31:00
  and because the players were trying to block it.
• 31:02
  I think when Ghana saw right when his it was hit and so and
• 31:05
  saw it going one way and already started moving that way.
• 31:07
  And then when it even though it knuckled only so slightly, it
• 31:10
  just totally turned off. That's the only thing I can
• 31:12
  think of. But you got a washing machine,
• 31:14
  washing machine. Sorry guys.
• 31:16
  You hear it? It's like.
• 31:17
  What's happening? Yeah, God damn earthquake.
• 31:19
  Earthquake. Can you not do what laundry I
• 31:23
  wanna? Hey, man, I'm not, I'm not, I'm
• 31:27
  not doing the laundry right now, but I'm also not going to tell
• 31:29
  her to cut the laundry out. Yeah, You're you're I'm picking
• 31:32
  McDonald's here. No.
• 31:33
  No, this guy, this guy's scheduling the podcast around
• 31:35
  the laundry types was like, I can't do laundry.
• 31:37
  Can you imagine? No.
• 31:40
  Yeah. But Gibbs, Why?
• 31:42
  Gibbs Why? But Even so, as a goalkeeper,
• 31:44
  like it's coming down the middle, it's not a lot of curve.
• 31:47
  I feel like he should have gotten it anytime.
• 31:49
  He should. I know There's no.
• 31:50
  There's no. Yeah, he should have.
• 31:51
  He's got to deal with that. You.
• 31:52
  Got to deal with it and it's like the the.
• 31:54
  One, you got a what? Deal with it.
• 31:57
  Deal with it. But he said it in like Southern.
• 32:00
  I was like, what's deal with what deal with that?
• 32:02
  I thought. Yeah, deal with it, Deal with
• 32:04
  it. Yeah.
• 32:05
  Yeah, OK. And they saw the the one that
• 32:08
  went to the back post too. Martinez fucking deal with it
• 32:10
  was just bad goal game, bad defender in this game.
• 32:12
  Yeah. And then oh, Nana at the very
• 32:15
  end, like with the fucking stupid ball.
• 32:17
  Just fucking take. Them you could just tell me
• 32:20
  about she just had lost his head there he.
• 32:21
  Literally lost a whole minute because he's been a stupid
• 32:24
  dickhead. Just fucking wasn't.
• 32:25
  Going to make a difference. Someone really dropped a Nana
• 32:28
  and I thought I was so smart picking him up to play this
• 32:30
  weekend. I put a waiver for him too.
• 32:32
  You dead. Wait, did you make fat for him?
• 32:35
  No, it was not the other week. Not that like the drums, yeah,
• 32:37
  that come in, but I still think overall, I think there's
• 32:41
  something going on there that looks a little better.
• 32:43
  I like his idea. Yeah.
• 32:45
  And then BI think their defense is gonna be better.
• 32:46
  So I'm actually happy with an honor as.
• 32:48
  My did you guys hear the quote he gave about how you think the
• 32:53
  players feel that everyone's getting minutes and everyone's
• 32:55
  getting starts? What would you say?
• 32:58
  Because, you know, like he's been rotating the.
• 32:59
  He's been rotating around. Rotation and he says, you know,
• 33:01
  what do you think The mindset is that they know that every game
• 33:03
  they could start. So he thinks by doing that,
• 33:05
  everyone's going to be trained harder and they're going to get
• 33:07
  more opportunities, so they're going to try to maximize it.
• 33:10
  I think that's smart and I also think it's it's a really fair
• 33:12
  thing to do for a manager when they just come in, especially
• 33:15
  mid season is give people chances.
• 33:16
  And it's especially when you know like he does that it's like
• 33:20
  this season's kind of a wash for them.
• 33:22
  It's not like he needs to win right now.
• 33:24
  So he's like, might as well give everyone the run out and might.
• 33:27
  Especially after then Hog. Once someone has a good game he
• 33:29
  would bench him the game after it would.
• 33:31
  He just needs to just make it through, get mid table.
• 33:34
  If he can get top six and get into Europe somehow, great,
• 33:37
  amazing. But I don't think even if he
• 33:39
  doesn't get that, I don't think that's going to harm or harm his
• 33:42
  chances because money and I is going to spend a bunch of money.
• 33:45
  I wonder if they'll let let him sell some players too.
• 33:47
  They're really. Going to have to, they're going
• 33:48
  to have to get it. I mean, I think the, the
• 33:50
  toughest thing for United is that the wages are so high.
• 33:53
  So it's like Casamiro's on at, you know what, 300,000 now Mason
• 33:57
  melts on like 250,000 a week. You know what?
• 34:00
  I mean so ridiculous. So those that's.
• 34:02
  Well they should. They should still sell them and
• 34:04
  eat some of the wages and I think it might even be
• 34:06
  beneficial for them not to make top six and not be in Europe,
• 34:09
  just so make sure they can focus on the premiere and not have
• 34:11
  those games midweek to kind of. Yeah, I'm kind of refocused
• 34:15
  more. Gibbs White scored that goal.
• 34:16
  I thought he looked better after the goal.
• 34:18
  I seem like he just had his mojo.
• 34:19
  He had a really good assist for Chris Wood.
• 34:21
  Chris Wood continues just to be the force of nature.
• 34:24
  Top Goal One of the top goal scorers in the league right now.
• 34:26
  Fucking Ryan. What's his name?
• 34:28
  I did not see it with him at the beginning of the.
• 34:30
  Season. I didn't know either, but he
• 34:31
  said it and he called it. Yeah.
• 34:33
  The only one that didn't go the way he said was kudos.
• 34:36
  That's it. But we're all, I mean, we're all
• 34:38
  on good news. He turned that around.
• 34:39
  He already has Chris what that is he has ten goals last year he
• 34:43
  finished with fourteen and one assist.
• 34:44
  No, it's he has no assist this year, but who cares if you're
• 34:47
  scoring it this if. You're scoring.
• 34:48
  That's not what he's He's not there to assist.
• 34:51
  I mean, 2015, that's really good.
• 34:53
  Amazing. A Bruno finally kind of backed
• 34:55
  on track. I like when he plays in the one
• 34:57
  of the two behind the striker. I hate when he plays one of the
• 35:00
  sixes. What he did, he played one of
• 35:02
  the sixes midweek when they when they but you.
• 35:05
  So it's just like, I don't love. I was like one of the guys in
• 35:08
  our league is trying to concoct a trade between me and to where
• 35:11
  I would give him Odegard for Bruno and I I think we talked
• 35:14
  about this for like just positionally, I think I'm going
• 35:16
  to stick with Odegard. Yeah, I love even if it's like,
• 35:19
  yeah, I think I talked about this, but it's like every 3rd
• 35:21
  game if Bruno's playing the six or something, it's like, I
• 35:23
  don't, I don't love that. I don't love that.
• 35:25
  Yeah. Moving on next game, Tottenham 3
• 35:29
  Chelsea 4. Hold on One second, One second.
• 35:33
  What's he doing? I swear if he goes and puts.
• 35:36
  His Oh yeah, sorry, sorry. Oh, you a piece of shit.
• 35:44
  Yeah, so we talked about this a little bit at the RIP and I'm
• 35:47
  not gonna, I'm not gonna get on you too much.
• 35:49
  I know, I know. It hurts you.
• 35:50
  Should I? You can if you want, I'm worried
• 35:53
  over. It remember what he was doing
• 35:55
  blaster to you when Chelsea was shooting the game after game,
• 35:58
  How he. Would, yeah, but I'm, you know,
• 35:59
  I'm not more involved human. You're more of all people.
• 36:03
  You call me a fucking Neanderthal, you motherfucker.
• 36:05
  Well, I didn't say that I. Just fucking.
• 36:07
  I just, I apologized to you earlier.
• 36:09
  I'm no, I, I, I, I accept your apology.
• 36:11
  And I also understood where it came from a place of pain.
• 36:14
  And it was, it was the last. It's.
• 36:15
  Very, very fucking angry. I'm not that angry now because
• 36:18
  I, like I said, I did say we were going to get spanked.
• 36:21
  It was just the two early goals. The nature of it just.
• 36:25
  The hope though, you know what I mean?
• 36:26
  The fucking hope. But I mean, there was no point
• 36:28
  in that game, even down 2 hour, where you didn't think that
• 36:30
  Chelsea was going to score goals.
• 36:32
  No, I knew they were going to score.
• 36:33
  Was. Going to be and like and like
• 36:34
  someone had a few chances that he just didn't really he nearly
• 36:37
  got one at the very end. He got one.
• 36:39
  Well, he did get one at the very end, but he nearly got 1.
• 36:41
  He had a breakaway at one point that that that was a weird like
• 36:44
  with the offsides like that was such a bonehead play by the
• 36:46
  Chelsea defenders. The Chelsea Chelsea defense has
• 36:49
  not been punished enough as they should be.
• 36:51
  I genuinely think I generally think that the defense has been
• 36:54
  really getting lucky in a lot of ways.
• 36:56
  And like they got really lucky today with a few of those were
• 36:58
  just like and even though they got scored on twice, but like
• 37:01
  that was also bizarre with Cuccarelli where like he slipped
• 37:03
  both times in the goal scorer and he changed.
• 37:05
  Then as soon as he changed his boots, if I can go on.
• 37:07
  A. When was the last time you've
• 37:08
  seen that? I've seen it before, but not it
• 37:10
  doesn't happen. That's rare.
• 37:12
  So like, yeah, just a bizarre game in that.
• 37:15
  Did you guys see what boots he went from What to what?
• 37:18
  No, probably. Longer starts.
• 37:21
  No, but I was. It would have been funny if it
• 37:22
  was like 1 brand or another like Adidas in Nike or something.
• 37:25
  That would have been like an amazing ad.
• 37:27
  I saw he put on Adidas so. She put on Adidas.
• 37:29
  It's probably he might have had blades on the first pair and
• 37:32
  then went to regular studs. The next one because he was
• 37:34
  slipping. Can we talk about the second
• 37:37
  penalty kick? The Pennanka.
• 37:38
  The Pennanka, Do you know that broker?
• 37:41
  And I think someone posted it, but that broke a record for
• 37:43
  what, 12 out of 12, Tika, you posted that 12 out of?
• 37:46
  12. Yeah.
• 37:47
  And so that that's broke Yaya toys record for most, most.
• 37:51
  Executive. You know what kind of fucking
• 37:53
  cojones you got got? You got to have to do a paninka.
• 37:56
  You have some. Fucking or you have to be
• 37:58
  fucking stupid. You know what?
• 38:01
  Not to realize the moment. But you got.
• 38:03
  To you say that, but how many, how many people?
• 38:06
  Well, actually more recently than they used to be, used to be
• 38:08
  there. Hell, my God, that was fucking.
• 38:11
  Silly. When he fucking did it not
• 38:15
  personal in Apostle, it was fucking sick.
• 38:18
  Anyway, I'm what I'm saying is no one really back in the day,
• 38:20
  no one used to kick it down the middle.
• 38:22
  It was always to a corner. It's not even recently where
• 38:24
  people blasted, but to penanger it, that's like a slap in the
• 38:27
  face. There's an amazing photo from
• 38:31
  the side angle where the keeper is turned towards the camera and
• 38:35
  he's like fuck in the balls in mid air still and it's like it's
• 38:38
  an I'll send it to you guys. It's an amazing photo.
• 38:40
  Because he didn't do like a heavy jump.
• 38:42
  He was kind of like leaning towards.
• 38:44
  But yeah, it's too like, yeah, I read a statistic like a couple
• 38:48
  years ago. It's kind of the cyber
• 38:50
  statistics or like, you know, advanced.
• 38:53
  Whereas if the goalkeeper doesn't jump, that's the highest
• 38:55
  chance of saving a penalty. I've read that too.
• 38:57
  Yeah, but really, what goalkeeper is always going to?
• 39:00
  Send down the middle, kind of like the statistic thing.
• 39:01
  Like it's not really like that, you know, I mean, it's kind of
• 39:04
  just like if they're statistically, I don't know,
• 39:06
  it's the whole thing. But what's going to happen to a
• 39:09
  big end? He argues with fans, the
• 39:11
  supporters, and then he comes out, gives up a total lead.
• 39:14
  I mean, it's not his fault that Cole Palmer is like slicing up
• 39:17
  the defense and passing it to end zone as I was like.
• 39:20
  It's not that was. Not a pass.
• 39:21
  I'm surprised that that was considered an assist in fantasy,
• 39:23
  to be honest with you. But so, I mean, he was, he was
• 39:25
  just, he's on a different level and it's.
• 39:27
  Just not, it's not just this game, mate.
• 39:29
  If you really look at it and everyone's been saying it for a
• 39:31
  while, that you've got to be able in the Premier League, in
• 39:34
  this league, you can't just do the same thing over and over and
• 39:36
  over again. It's the same thing over.
• 39:38
  And over you got to be, you got to be a little more proactive,
• 39:40
  yeah. Well, look, we went for example,
• 39:43
  when we were coming what team it was, we were up three nil
• 39:45
  wherever it wasn't Brian, you don't don't get wrong, don't put
• 39:49
  5678 men behind the ball, but you change your tactics, you may
• 39:53
  play. Positions, yeah, slowed down.
• 39:54
  He doesn't do any of that. He just goes gung ho the whole
• 39:57
  time and now he's now. We were singing his name last
• 40:00
  year and singing at the beginning this season.
• 40:01
  Now they're calling him and posture got no clue.
• 40:05
  Yeah, all the goodwill from last year's gone.
• 40:07
  It's gone. You're going to say that?
• 40:08
  Yeah, it's gone. But with that being said, who do
• 40:11
  they play next? Southampton.
• 40:13
  It's it's like this, this is like the get right game for.
• 40:15
  That his saving grace is going to be if he wins a cup this
• 40:18
  season. That's maybe that might be the
• 40:20
  worst thing to ever happen to like the same with 10 Hog
• 40:22
  winning that cup kept him in this year and lost it too.
• 40:24
  I just, I hear you lose faith and like, I really liked him and
• 40:27
  I want him to do well because it's so fun to watch, but it's
• 40:29
  just not. But that's what it is.
• 40:31
  It's fun football to watch, but it's just the same.
• 40:34
  The same verdict. Every time.
• 40:36
  Not to go across leagues, but same thing is happening with
• 40:39
  Barcelona right now. They played the highline as
• 40:41
  well. They haven't won.
• 40:42
  They've won only one game in the last five.
• 40:43
  It's like the league figured them out.
• 40:45
  And that's coming from a manager who want the treble with Bayern
• 40:47
  Munich, so. Yeah, I also had another another
• 40:51
  interesting way to look at it is Jurgen Klopp, because where he
• 40:53
  played a very like that heavy metal football and it was so
• 40:57
  extreme and so intense with the high pressing and this the
• 40:59
  pressure and the energy. So like there's a lot of games
• 41:01
  where they lost control of games and like like and you look at
• 41:04
  where and just doing it's just a little bit toned down.
• 41:06
  It's still letting their players play, but that seems to be more
• 41:09
  successful and that seems to be working better.
• 41:12
  And so I just think that like and should be like looking at
• 41:14
  the stuff and be like, maybe sometimes we need to know when
• 41:16
  to slow the game down and sometimes we need to know when
• 41:18
  to do this and not just have it always be this crazy.
• 41:21
  Thing, the difference between that club team and this team is
• 41:23
  what you said, the high intensity, high press that they
• 41:26
  did and how well they did it and they did it as a team.
• 41:29
  Whereas when you look at all high press, we're joking to
• 41:32
  players, so we're giving them time to turn.
• 41:35
  That's how I feel. Yeah, but also just one more
• 41:39
  thing on Tottenham is when you look at the squad that's not
• 41:42
  there. No.
• 41:43
  They don't really have who's coming off their best.
• 41:45
  Werner. What's that, Madison?
• 41:47
  Madison Madison nowadays. I mean, and that's concerning.
• 41:50
  I mean, this is that's the other thing too.
• 41:52
  I mean, from just to bring this also back to like a fantasy
• 41:54
  respective what a headache of a team like, yeah, you have like
• 41:57
  Madison, that's not starting games and like Johnson looks
• 42:00
  good. Sometimes I just like, just
• 42:02
  like. Solanki's not consistent team of
• 42:04
  one of the day early. Yeah, like it's just like it
• 42:07
  doesn't. There's not a lot of players
• 42:09
  that feel grand on that team. Like there's just there's some
• 42:11
  kind of other than Gulasaski, it's probably everyone else is
• 42:13
  kind of like in one way or. Not can we go over and can we
• 42:15
  go, can I go through like the James Madison game, like the
• 42:17
  last seven games real quick? Oh yeah.
• 42:19
  Against Villa, play 7 minutes, scores 11 points.
• 42:24
  Next game doesn't start against Ipswich, 5 minutes, one point.
• 42:26
  Against Citi, he starts, plays 88 minutes, scores 28 1/2
• 42:30
  points. You're like, hey, he's back.
• 42:32
  Against Fulham, plays 80 minutes, three points.
• 42:35
  Against Bournemouth, plays 80 minutes, five points, comes off
• 42:38
  the bench, has an assist, 9 points.
• 42:40
  It's it's kind of like Garnacho, where he started, when he
• 42:44
  started. He's not producing, coming off
• 42:46
  the bench, something happens. Something yeah, that's just
• 42:48
  like, yeah, which sucks, it sucks.
• 42:49
  And how they win your team and you.
• 42:51
  It's like it takes a very ballsy mid player to to start him when
• 42:54
  he's not to start him in your lineup when he's not starting a
• 42:57
  game. You know this guy it doesn't
• 42:58
  feel it does not doesn't feel good.
• 43:00
  OK, let's move on from the because I had to on this for far
• 43:02
  too long. Yeah full of 1 Arsenal 1 Arsenal
• 43:07
  drops points now Chelsea's stand alone in second Chelsea's four
• 43:11
  points behind Liverpool. Obviously Liverpool has a game
• 43:13
  in hand, but like that that happened.
• 43:16
  That's crazy. I also think it's it's also kind
• 43:18
  of wild because Arsenal scored a goal that looks totally legit
• 43:23
  and then like the past before the past Martinelli was like toe
• 43:27
  was offside. And those are the ones just
• 43:29
  suck. That feels so shitty as like a
• 43:31
  fan or a player but. It's it's a game of margins and
• 43:34
  Arsenal, but they they haven't put how many games have they put
• 43:37
  away this season? Not, not enough.
• 43:39
  Yeah, I think it's just it runs me like more like, I mean, the
• 43:42
  biggest joke right now is like this.
• 43:44
  That's very Tony Pool stoke. Like they're just the set pieces
• 43:47
  and like, you know, like I wouldn't be shocked if they'd
• 43:49
  get like a long throw specialist next in the January window to
• 43:52
  really just really hem it up. I don't know man, but a set
• 43:55
  piece, that set piece, fucking coach.
• 43:57
  He has to be getting paid 2550 grand a week the way he's doing
• 44:00
  it. He should be.
• 44:02
  He should be good. Because whoever's the offensive
• 44:05
  coach to to you know, to set up plays, he should be fucking
• 44:09
  fired because they can't seem to get anything.
• 44:10
  It's only coming through Odegard and soccer, but nothing come
• 44:13
  from that. Left hand yeah and if you but I
• 44:14
  think it's also really tough when you're when everything is
• 44:17
  coming through one player like that or like one side like that
• 44:21
  you can you can shut you teams like smart teams they'll figure
• 44:24
  out ways to shut that down they'll.
• 44:25
  Over, you say? That something but.
• 44:26
  How many teams have we seen has that great, great individual
• 44:30
  players that are that, you know, all throughout the years?
• 44:34
  So you think of like a Dennis Burke in my arsenal back a day,
• 44:37
  he could make something out of nothing.
• 44:39
  Or a David Beckham on the right. He can make something out of
• 44:41
  nothing. You just need that.
• 44:43
  You don't need more than one, really.
• 44:45
  If they can open you up, they can open you up.
• 44:46
  They're not gonna do it every game, but you still figure it
• 44:49
  out. I think the key is is you can't
• 44:51
  rely on them to do it every game.
• 44:52
  So if you're trying to win a title, you you can't rely on
• 44:54
  that. I think so just call out some
• 44:56
  stats. Saliba 6.75, we talked about
• 44:58
  him, the stats. Tete who is on waivers a few
• 45:02
  weeks ago, 13.75 and assists, 51% roster.
• 45:05
  He's finally up over that amount, but he's probably still
• 45:07
  free in a lot of leagues. Ralphie Mendez with a goal 13
• 45:10
  points continues just to be a really great player for where he
• 45:15
  went in leagues and total. Totally great if he even got
• 45:19
  picked up. So I picked him up.
• 45:20
  He doesn't even where where's he at like overall and by with
• 45:24
  strikers take off. Just strikers or amongst?
• 45:29
  Overall and strikers, I'm curious.
• 45:31
  I know he didn't. He hasn't started every game so
• 45:33
  it's probably not as. So overall he's 61st in total
• 45:37
  points amongst forwards. He is.
• 45:41
  Great kids. 19th Yeah, it's good, especially for for being.
• 45:46
  Like really less I'm sure. What was his drop percentage?
• 45:50
  Actually, let's. See, he was, well, he his
• 45:53
  average draft was 373. So not a lot of people, no.
• 45:57
  A. Lot, yeah.
• 45:57
  Drafted. So that's good.
• 45:58
  That's amazing. Well, he started the year being
• 46:00
  on the bench. He was not the.
• 46:02
  Start of it remember how good and he was right he's that's.
• 46:05
  Right. That's right.
• 46:06
  And then, you know, Enzo said he's not gonna score another
• 46:09
  goal for the rest of the year. And then?
• 46:10
  And then I picked him up and they've been one of my best
• 46:12
  players. It's funny.
• 46:13
  I love that you hedge that. I love that you hedged here.
• 46:15
  He's not gonna score the rest of the season by picking him up.
• 46:18
  That's literally one of the funniest things you've ever
• 46:19
  done. You know, it was so frustrating.
• 46:22
  Enzo had Jimenez on the bench and he had walkies on the
• 46:24
  starting lineup and it was like 20 minutes until game time.
• 46:26
  He switched it out. I was like, all right, Jimenez
• 46:29
  against Arsenal, but what they're like, what?
• 46:32
  The 1st 10 minutes, fucker scores and that also that,
• 46:34
  right? I should have saved that.
• 46:36
  Whatever anyway you know I love is that my my 3 core players in
• 46:40
  my team now are all full on players.
• 46:42
  That is, I mean, you're, you're on the line with that.
• 46:44
  But I will say Fulham, the Ramadan team of the league
• 46:47
  people. Fucking.
• 46:48
  Good steal from the rich to give you the poor.
• 46:50
  So who do they? Who do they?
• 46:51
  Who does Fool play next? They play.
• 46:53
  Let's give me one second. Liverpool.
• 46:57
  So you think they can rob? They can.
• 46:58
  Can they rob again? Can they rob twice in a row?
• 47:01
  As Derek says, Iwobi gets points just tossing sideways so.
• 47:06
  Dude, I'm so frustrated because in the other league I have he
• 47:09
  will be and I was, I was ahead by a lot, but then you know, his
• 47:12
  team had a good team, whatever. So I needed you all be to have a
• 47:14
  good matchup because. I had a bad one this week.
• 47:17
  This week I'm. Playing Enzo and I have him, he
• 47:19
  only had one point so I was like the only week I need him to do
• 47:21
  well fucking. It's just the bad.
• 47:23
  I mean, so they play Liverpool next and then on the 22nd they
• 47:25
  play Southampton. So that that's a prime game for
• 47:28
  them to give to the poor. Yeah, I'm just, I'm just saying
• 47:30
  that's a prime give to the poor game.
• 47:31
  Just keep an eye out for that. Let's see.
• 47:34
  Moving on Leicester 2 Brighton two man.
• 47:35
  This was heartbreaking for Leicester or for Brighton right?
• 47:39
  There were two of Yacouba Minta scored a great goal.
• 47:42
  I was going to call him out as a potential player to pick up
• 47:45
  because he's he's hasn't been playing much and maybe this is
• 47:47
  his like announcement back. But then Leicester scored two
• 47:51
  goals late with Vardy, Vardy scoring a goal.
• 47:54
  So as of now Vardy's averaging 12.5 over the last seven games.
• 47:58
  Is this a sell high or is this a keep for you guys?
• 48:01
  Sell high if you can, I think. Don't get wrong, he's a, he's a,
• 48:03
  he's a vet, but he ain't going to do it the whole season.
• 48:07
  Wait, Shut up, Enzo, Shut up. Knockout What, you don't think
• 48:10
  Van Nielsen Roy is going to keep him firing away?
• 48:13
  Maybe. You know what?
• 48:14
  You're right. He's got Van Nisroy is a fucking
• 48:16
  imagine now. Yeah.
• 48:17
  And Van Nisroy was like, not the same as him, but could score
• 48:20
  goals in the box and outside the box just like what he can.
• 48:23
  Yeah, I don't know. There's something there I'm
• 48:25
  interested by it. I don't know is that that's kind
• 48:27
  of it though. But you know, we talked about
• 48:28
  the key moments. Ipswich one born with two.
• 48:31
  Ipswich was up one O for a lot of this game Born.
• 48:33
  We scored two late goals. Both of their goals were scored
• 48:36
  by Subs. But we saw Semenya return to the
• 48:39
  lineup, have a good game. Evan Nelson with two bomb games
• 48:42
  in a row and him What was your climber score that he scored 12
• 48:45
  points, 12 points without any goal involvements.
• 48:48
  So I think climber climber might be a sneaky 1 to see how.
• 48:51
  How old is he? I'm sure he's pretty owned after
• 48:54
  that he's. Pretty owned after that
• 48:56
  ridiculous game he had. 81 yeah, 81% yeah.
• 49:00
  I mean, he's I don't love it, but yeah, you know, West End
• 49:05
  Wolves coming up on on Monday. Do you know what they're calling
• 49:08
  this game? Small.
• 49:11
  El Sacco said El Classico, bowling, these coaches say
• 49:15
  bowling, these coaches are probably going to get sucked at
• 49:16
  some point. I think whoever loses this game
• 49:18
  for sure gets sucked if there's a if this game is a loss.
• 49:21
  I also think if this game is a draw as possible they both get
• 49:23
  sacked which would be really fun in.
• 49:25
  This case scenario, who do you think's better?
• 49:28
  Gary O'Neill. Yeah, I think.
• 49:30
  Gary. I think Gary knows better too.
• 49:31
  I. Think he's a good manager, I
• 49:32
  think. I think he just, he, he lost, he
• 49:34
  got, you really got to think he lost Netto and he lost Kilman.
• 49:37
  Kilman and they didn't, they didn't add anyone.
• 49:39
  No. So what did you expect him to?
• 49:41
  Do I actually think he? I actually think that if you
• 49:44
  like, I think I think they could stay up if he stays their
• 49:46
  manager, like I generally do it. Yeah, they they buy a defender
• 49:49
  in the in January and they say. If the game ends in the tie,
• 49:52
  they should just swap managers. Oh my God, I think West Ham gets
• 49:55
  Moise back. Oh no.
• 49:58
  For 1/3 time. I think for sure one of these
• 50:00
  teams is going to have Grand Potter by by January.
• 50:03
  I read somewhere that. Because you're one of these
• 50:05
  teams. I read somewhere that Cunha is
• 50:07
  going to try to score a hat trick to honor Antonia.
• 50:10
  You think so? I need Antonia.
• 50:13
  You need 35.5 points to be made. In the other league I have
• 50:17
  Kilman, so I need one of those two to go off.
• 50:20
  Both of them cannot. I think one of them to.
• 50:22
  Just to speak on that too, though, and so Antonio obviously
• 50:25
  someone who talked about a bunch of this podcast really bad car
• 50:28
  accident, which is really sad that car it was like scary when
• 50:30
  I fucking. Ripped the pod that car.
• 50:32
  I mean, it's amazing that he's OK like that.
• 50:34
  He's stable after you see how bad that car was.
• 50:36
  So hoping, hoping he like can walk again.
• 50:39
  Like I don't know if he's ever going to play again.
• 50:41
  Like I have no clue. No idea, been pretty.
• 50:43
  They didn't really lay out too many details.
• 50:44
  They didn't let too many details.
• 50:46
  I it looks like it's a broken leg they did the surgery on.
• 50:48
  I wrote that somewhere so. So he's done.
• 50:50
  He might be done. He might be done for the rest of
• 50:51
  the season. He's done for the rest of the
• 50:53
  season for sure. I think he might be done for the
• 50:55
  rest of his career. How old is?
• 50:56
  That yeah, he's 34. That's yeah.
• 50:58
  Yeah, that's that's a. That's sad.
• 51:00
  That's so sad because he he was he was a likable seller and he
• 51:04
  has he has a podcast. He's pretty like, you know, he's
• 51:06
  a pretty like I. Don't like his podcast?
• 51:08
  I I'm not saying I like his podcast.
• 51:09
  He's he's like, he's like what? Darren Bent, right?
• 51:12
  Darren Bent. Get that?
• 51:15
  Yeah, but yeah, I mean, it's just sad though.
• 51:17
  I mean, it's just a little intensive to come away after you
• 51:19
  just got in a car accident. Well, still by his podcast, not
• 51:23
  his leg. It's not my fault.
• 51:25
  Sorry, Antonio. I like you W Hampton goal
• 51:28
  scorer, but where you know where there's that, there's also
• 51:31
  opportunity. Yep.
• 51:32
  So that's perfect transition into waivers where I think
• 51:36
  Nicholas full crowd coming off the injury and then that's that
• 51:39
  Antonio tragedy. It's a prime time to pick him
• 51:43
  up. He's owning 39% of leagues.
• 51:44
  I think it's a really, really good one.
• 51:46
  And I I also think that coach is going to get fired and scooted
• 51:48
  low pateki. So I think that it's like, it's
• 51:51
  like now's a really good time to take.
• 51:53
  Bets right now, yeah. Would Folkert be the starting
• 51:56
  striker for them? I mean, it's very possible,
• 51:59
  especially with the new coach or whatever, but I think I think
• 52:02
  especially as he works his way into fitness, I think that's
• 52:03
  what the hope was when they when they paid 30 + 1,000,000 for
• 52:07
  him, it's like he's a young guy. So I think the idea was that he
• 52:09
  was going to come in and be starting games.
• 52:11
  Slot him in straight away like Somerville has been okay, but
• 52:14
  Somerville plays more off the wing.
• 52:16
  He plays can't play down the middle, but it's.
• 52:18
  Just not the same thing. Yeah, next one.
• 52:20
  Mateus Nunez owned in 27% of leagues, he said.
• 52:24
  Some. I think it's tough to trust him
• 52:27
  because of pep rotation and just like general city lethargy, but
• 52:30
  he's been like proved useful when plays, not when he
• 52:33
  completely consistent, but especially because he's playing
• 52:35
  like off the wing and been able to whip balls in and yeah, it's
• 52:38
  been good, no. When he plays he scores points I
• 52:41
  think, just doesn't get game time I think he should.
• 52:43
  Be on your benches though, and like if city plays, then you
• 52:45
  should be like sweet, and that's better than like your fourth
• 52:48
  string guy. You know better than like that
• 52:50
  random mid that you have like cool.
• 52:52
  Yeah, when he starts he usually produces.
• 52:54
  He's only had two bad games when he started, didn't produce and
• 52:57
  that was when they were on their losing streak against Liverpool.
• 52:59
  Zero points against Bournemouth during the half, but fourteen
• 53:02
  and a half, 14.724 points against Palace.
• 53:05
  So he puts balls in the box, we keep passes and you know how
• 53:09
  long could bang one of those in so you get the assists.
• 53:12
  Totally next one. Kevin Shota scored again, came
• 53:15
  off the bench so he scored. So he had that game where he
• 53:18
  scored a hat trick. Then he had a game where he was
• 53:19
  kind of mid and then he did this and scored.
• 53:22
  So I think the the one like caveat is that attacking options
• 53:24
  at Brentford are looking really competitive.
• 53:26
  But you are Tiago back, obviously dance guard and Wemo
• 53:29
  with Louis Potter. There's a lot of players there.
• 53:32
  But if he's kind of the hot hand right now, especially with like
• 53:35
  the the Christmas fixtures coming up, he might be worth
• 53:38
  just holding on to, yeah. It also worth noting he was on
• 53:42
  the bench because he started on the midweek game and he had six
• 53:45
  and half points against Philip. Yeah, so whose spot does he
• 53:47
  take? A Lewis pottery plays off the
• 53:50
  left or Igor Tiago up front depending on formation line.
• 53:54
  If Igor Tiago is going to play every game, I don't know yet.
• 53:56
  How's that Eagle watch going, Tico?
• 53:58
  Amazing, still have my eyes on him.
• 54:00
  I think Sergey picked him up. Igor what?
• 54:04
  Forgot? Yeah.
• 54:04
  He picked him up. Who did?
• 54:07
  Sergey, I mean, he had his best game of the year.
• 54:10
  Next is Manx, Lacroix, 42% of leagues putting together string
• 54:15
  up decent games. I think he's had three games
• 54:17
  like with Niner above, obviously squared a goal this week, so
• 54:20
  eyes on him. But I just I think we're talking
• 54:22
  about Palace and I think they're in an upswing right now.
• 54:25
  So this is maybe the time to ride it a little.
• 54:29
  Yeah, I think that's a good one. Then the last one, Arzak Mirak,
• 54:32
  he's been on here a few times. He's only 47% of leaks.
• 54:34
  He's the number three keeper points.
• 54:36
  And for the fact that he's only owned 47% of leaks is insane.
• 54:40
  If he's available in your leaks, pick him up immediately.
• 54:42
  More likely than I should drop to keep you out for it.
• 54:45
  Well, you know what it was we had.
• 54:46
  He was really, but we thought really hardly when we begin the
• 54:48
  season and then he sort of dropped off.
• 54:51
  So yeah, if if he's coming back into the form, I agree.
• 54:54
  I think you should go grab him 42%.
• 54:56
  He he started off the year against city -4 points.
• 55:00
  He that, that was a big, yeah. There's like a really big bias
• 55:03
  about whatever happens in the first week.
• 55:04
  You know, people probably saw that, yeah.
• 55:07
  He's the 4th rank keeper now and he only has one clean sheet
• 55:11
  which is fucking crazy. That is crazy, but it's what we
• 55:14
  expected from him. Is it?
• 55:15
  Not also you kind of love it because then you if you're not
• 55:18
  dependent on clean sheets and he's still getting a lot of
• 55:20
  points, that's a good thing. Yeah.
• 55:21
  You know, that's a weird way that's like, that's always a
• 55:24
  good thing is that that means that there's more consistency
• 55:26
  and you're not like, it's not like the Anderson thing where
• 55:28
  you get it and hope that he's going to.
• 55:30
  When you say consistency, you mean consistently bad defense
• 55:32
  that let's. Shots in OK Consistency can mean
• 55:35
  a lot of different things. It's not.
• 55:37
  It's not necessarily a positive. You just don't want the boys
• 55:39
  feet. That's the only thing you don't
• 55:40
  want. You don't want the boys fucking
• 55:42
  feet. This guy.
• 55:44
  All right, that's the way there. It's kind of moving into round
• 55:47
  16. So it's what?
• 55:48
  Saturday Summer 14th Sunday, Monday.
• 55:52
  Got some good games here. Arsenal, Everton.
• 55:55
  Yeah, that could be the, that could be a 00.
• 55:59
  It could be. It could be.
• 56:02
  Newcastle, Leicester, I think it'll be actually pretty fun.
• 56:04
  I think Newcastle's just, Newcastle's weird to me.
• 56:06
  Like where they like, they play some good against Liverpool.
• 56:09
  They struggle against other teams.
• 56:12
  Maybe last year, but maybe last year, yeah, yeah, Wolves.
• 56:15
  Ipswich is going to be really fun I think.
• 56:17
  I don't know who's. Going to win.
• 56:18
  It's a bottom like bottom, bottom.
• 56:21
  Bottom feeder game, but I want wolves to win.
• 56:23
  I don't want it is I like, I like wolves.
• 56:25
  I'm loving this nodding for this is a great set of matchups.
• 56:28
  I'm loving this Forest Villa game.
• 56:30
  No way, not touching it. No, it's amazing.
• 56:32
  I don't think I'm touching it but.
• 56:35
  Good game. Pals Brian's another really good
• 56:37
  there's. There's some tough games to
• 56:38
  think about. Manchester Derby.
• 56:43
  If, if Ameren, if Ruben can win this game, he's going to win a
• 56:46
  lot of fucking fans over. And build a big statue.
• 56:48
  It's a big fucking game for him. Yeah.
• 56:52
  And then we talked about South Ham is played Tottenham.
• 56:54
  That's like the ultimate get right game for Tottenham If so I
• 56:57
  think and if that, if anything but a win there, Andrew gets
• 57:00
  sacked. You think already?
• 57:04
  You think you don't think he makes it in January?
• 57:06
  I think if they draw or lose at South Hampton.
• 57:09
  I'm going to tell you this right now.
• 57:11
  He's, he's still in the top top 10, isn't he?
• 57:14
  Still in the top ten I believe. In top ten but.
• 57:18
  I'm just telling you, he's in the top ten and he's still in
• 57:20
  cup games. He's in the quarterfinals of the
• 57:22
  League Cup against Man United. As a top ten in what?
• 57:27
  Like on the table? Yeah, 11.
• 57:29
  OK, I don't think Levy is going to fire him that quickly because
• 57:34
  what he'll do first is he'll go fucking try and find a manager
• 57:37
  before he fucking fires this one, because I do not want to
• 57:40
  see Mason fucking manage. This doctor for the third time
• 57:43
  No, did you see they showed Levy like in the he was standing the
• 57:48
  way you're standing. He literally looked like he was
• 57:49
  having like his like villain moment.
• 57:51
  He's like this is how I become evil.
• 57:52
  You know, he was like, he was like shadow and he was like,
• 57:55
  like. He used to like fucking bad.
• 57:56
  You know what? Derek said the best thing when
• 57:58
  he said I saw that as Derek was typing, he's like Levy looks
• 58:01
  like he's about to make a bad decision.
• 58:02
  Yeah, that's a really good way to put it.
• 58:04
  He looks like he's about ready to make a bad decision.
• 58:06
  Yeah, but I also think Levy's so cheap that he's not gonna just
• 58:09
  fire fire him and pay off his thing.
• 58:10
  I think he's gonna try and figure something else out or
• 58:13
  trying to hold on as long as he can.
• 58:15
  He's he's not going to invest no more money in fucking January or
• 58:17
  fucking take that, do you? Think they make a move now and
• 58:20
  then try and get like a grand Potter.
• 58:22
  I don't know that. 'D be interesting because I
• 58:24
  think the issue for them is like if they wait a few more weeks
• 58:27
  and then like West Ham and wolves fire their managers and
• 58:31
  then that's potentially 2 less managers out there for them to
• 58:33
  go I. Wouldn't mind it, Gary O'Neil.
• 58:35
  Does really have a player that I?
• 58:38
  Wouldn't mind it, Gary O'Neil. Yeah.
• 58:40
  But you see, do you see the kind of football he plays?
• 58:43
  No, I mean, I'm not, I'm not opposed.
• 58:44
  I think that's just such a hard pill to swallow after seeing
• 58:46
  him. And it's not his I like we, we,
• 58:49
  I think we can see that it's not his fault at wolves.
• 58:51
  But I think a lot of people would have a really hard time
• 58:53
  with that. Yeah.
• 58:55
  Does Tottenham have a player that the Saudi league once
• 59:01
  maybe, I don't know, like get like 200 million for like.
• 59:04
  I don't know. All I know is that we got no
• 59:05
  backup with Solanke because Rich Allison got injured again.
• 59:09
  Yeah. So I don't know.
• 59:12
  All right, Are we going to try and do bets?
• 59:15
  I already set mine up, I already know what I'm ban on.
• 59:18
  Keith, Chelsea and Bradford's going to be a good game too.
• 59:20
  This is like tough guys. I've got a full game parlay.
• 59:24
  I already cooked it up. In the words of Teacock.
• 59:26
  You want to talk about how you like can pinned your message of
• 59:30
  your parlay. Can I be?
• 59:31
  Honest. Can I be honest how I was a lot
• 59:35
  closer than you? Who cares?
• 59:37
  I'm just saying. I didn't.
• 59:38
  Sure, buy a mile. That's all I went in.
• 59:41
  Don't get me wrong, I chose Fulham right.
• 59:43
  I did. Yeah.
• 59:44
  Fulham. It was a one one draw because
• 59:46
  Arsenal is the Arsenal. Fulham game is always a tough
• 59:49
  game for Arsenal. I chose Forest, Forest one.
• 59:52
  I chose tough games and I went right.
• 59:54
  To say I was, I was at Sergey's house a couple of days ago and
• 59:57
  he was talking about his partly he was bragging and I said
• 59:59
  Arsenal is like a dumb one. He's like, oh, why?
• 1:00:02
  Just because the last year they dropped poises, you think
• 1:00:03
  they're not going to beat them? Yeah, he said.
• 1:00:05
  You want to make a bet? I'm like.
• 1:00:06
  You already lost the bet. You owe me Jersey.
• 1:00:08
  He's like, all right, let's bet on a Jersey double or.
• 1:00:09
  Something see I see 2 jersey What's?
• 1:00:12
  2 jersey again. He's not going to buy me jersey.
• 1:00:16
  Now he's now you say he's not going to.
• 1:00:18
  You got that, Sergey? Pay up man.
• 1:00:20
  Don't be a Dick. Pay up.
• 1:00:21
  Do you guys know that Wolves is plus 270 against West End to win
• 1:00:25
  for tomorrow's game? Should we battle?
• 1:00:27
  I didn't know that there's 270 to win.
• 1:00:32
  Yeah, Plus 270. Yeah, let's put let's do that
• 1:00:35
  one just as a as I got. Yeah, fuck it, 40 bucks.
• 1:00:39
  It it feels like one of those things the Lions move because
• 1:00:41
  West Ham is gonna come together and perform from.
• 1:00:43
  Fuck off, you wanna put you wanna put 40 bucks on that?
• 1:00:47
  Yeah, 40 bucks on that. 40 bucks on the 108 topic Tico you OK
• 1:00:50
  with that? Yeah, that's fine.
• 1:00:52
  All right, you wanna hear my parlay, Shag?
• 1:00:54
  The parlay, Yeah, you wanna. Go first, go first.
• 1:00:56
  Parlay. Just so we do it the same way,
• 1:00:59
  say the team you're, oh, you don't have the Lions, right?
• 1:01:02
  I don't lines up. I have it no.
• 1:01:04
  I have the ESPN ones. Got it.
• 1:01:07
  Just say the team you're picking who they're going to win and
• 1:01:10
  just say the odds for the individual team.
• 1:01:11
  Yeah, yeah, All right. Arsenal, Evan, I'm going for
• 1:01:14
  Arsenal. They're -390.
• 1:01:16
  Yeah, and my other -420 so OK, boom.
• 1:01:19
  Liverpool against Fulham, I'm going Liverpool, they're -320.
• 1:01:23
  So 15 for me, OK. OK, I'm going Newcastle against
• 1:01:27
  Leicester to win they're -310 yeah.
• 1:01:30
  And then I'm going Chelsea against Brentford then -290.
• 1:01:34
  Boring. That's plus 191.
• 1:01:38
  That's my bet. All right, 10 bucks.
• 1:01:43
  We're 1610 bucks to win 19 bucks with four and four games, Right,
• 1:01:49
  All right, bad is being placed. Are you ready?
• 1:01:51
  And wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
• 1:01:52
  No, no, no you can't. Change it.
• 1:01:54
  You can't. You can't.
• 1:01:55
  You can't have this. Great.
• 1:01:56
  Approved and then change it like this.
• 1:01:57
  All right, wait, wait. Then let me put one more in
• 1:01:59
  there. OK, and let me say mine, let me
• 1:02:01
  say mine and let me give you something to think about.
• 1:02:03
  Well, look at the Monday like I got to do one at a time.
• 1:02:06
  So, so then wait, wait, wait, then give me wolves against this
• 1:02:10
  way. Do you really want to do that?
• 1:02:11
  Do you want us to influence what you're doing?
• 1:02:13
  It's. No no no, because it's do you
• 1:02:14
  wolves against this switch for A5 game pilot.
• 1:02:17
  Oh yeah, it's plus 430 now. So that's a. 10 to win, 12:50.
• 1:02:19
  43 All right, all right, so I'm placing that bat.
• 1:02:23
  OK, done. Did you just write it down with
• 1:02:25
  the pen and paper? Like no it's not paper of.
• 1:02:28
  Course, Oh my God, everything with that.
• 1:02:29
  Every time you have. You write here, you're writing
• 1:02:31
  down on something. Else, you know what?
• 1:02:34
  That's wrong? That's from I was eating a slice
• 1:02:36
  of pizza earlier. Oh my God.
• 1:02:37
  OK, Tika, what's yours? Pineapple.
• 1:02:39
  So I'm picking Arsenal over everything over here.
• 1:02:42
  It's -4 two bit Liverpool over Fulham, so we have those the
• 1:02:47
  same. But this is where mine gets a
• 1:02:48
  little interesting. I'm picking Palace over
• 1:02:51
  Brighton, Pasadena plus 290. OK, that that OK.
• 1:02:54
  And then I'm picking Tottenham over Southampton -135 on mine it
• 1:02:59
  says plus 1031. 1/10/25 That seems good.
• 1:03:03
  That's a good bat bat place, that's how.
• 1:03:05
  Man, oh man, guys really OK. I'm definitely going to do
• 1:03:11
  Tottenham over Southampton -130 I'm going to do I'm going to do
• 1:03:16
  Manchester United over Man City plus 440.
• 1:03:18
  You do United over city. Do it, man, Do it.
• 1:03:21
  Go, go hit us. That's crazy.
• 1:03:28
  Nervous you're. Crazy bro.
• 1:03:31
  I like it. I like, don't love some of these
• 1:03:33
  other ones like Liverpool over Fulham I don't love.
• 1:03:38
  It's easy. Chelsea over Brentford, I don't
• 1:03:40
  love. These are like not I'm gonna go
• 1:03:42
  Bournemouth over West Ham, OK, And that's gonna take us.
• 1:03:45
  So I'm just gonna do three games.
• 1:03:46
  Tottenham, Bournemouth United. What are the outs for
• 1:03:48
  Bournemouth over West Ham? Bournemouth over West Ham is
• 1:03:50
  -130 or -140 so it's a total of plus 1538.
• 1:03:56
  So what are the teams? All cuz you have united in.
• 1:03:59
  United plus 440 Bournemouth -140 Tottenham hotspurs -138 We
• 1:04:04
  gotta, we gotta make our money somewhere, you know?
• 1:04:06
  Yeah. You just pick favorites, huh?
• 1:04:09
  I did. I pick favorites this week
• 1:04:10
  because I like them. I don't always pick favorites
• 1:04:12
  though, you know that. No, hey, I think it's nice that
• 1:04:14
  we're doing different things. You know, this is this is fun.
• 1:04:17
  Come on, let's see how this goes.
• 1:04:18
  Big Forest last week. I mean, it can't we can't be
• 1:04:20
  any. We can't do any worse than we've
• 1:04:22
  been doing yes, with our pilots. We literally hit one in the
• 1:04:26
  second week and we've literally struck out everything.
• 1:04:28
  We haven't won like a single on. No, so I could be I'm probably
• 1:04:33
  we top of the league, right? Can we talk about that match up?
• 1:04:36
  A little bit, we'll match up. Our match up.
• 1:04:39
  Well, let's stop. Hold on one second.
• 1:04:41
  Let's end the episode then this can be The Afters.
• 1:04:43
  OK, All right, this has been episode 68 of Dropped Off
• 1:04:47
  Science, but it's key from Tico Denzone.
• 1:04:50
  Follow us at Dropped on Science on all the socials, follow us on
• 1:04:53
  the podcast, leave a review, do all the things.
• 1:04:55
  This will be our first video episode on Spotify and it'll be
• 1:04:59
  on YouTube, So that's cool. That's exciting.
• 1:05:01
  Very cool. We'll see you next week.
• 1:05:04
  Come on you Spurs. OK, now, now you want to you
• 1:05:17
  want to complain? You want to complain?
• 1:05:19
  What's up? What's it?
• 1:05:20
  Why are you upset, Tikka? I'm not upset.
• 1:05:23
  I mean it's out of my control. Just as one of I don't know if
• 1:05:26
  you guys noticed what time I sent the fucking game being
• 1:05:30
  postponed. It was like at fucking 3:00 AM
• 1:05:32
  or two, AMI go on Twitter and I see.
• 1:05:36
  I saw you, were you doing you were you doing that?
• 1:05:38
  There's like 1 something. That's probably out and and it's
• 1:05:42
  so frustrating because 4 fucking players, man.
• 1:05:46
  Yeah, yeah. What's this?
• 1:05:48
  You say this? Yeah.
• 1:05:49
  It's time. It's violent.
• 1:05:52
  But the other thing that no honestly, like the other thing
• 1:05:55
  that was more frustrating from you is fucking matters being
• 1:05:57
  benched and Tania being benched who actually had 7 1/2 points,
• 1:06:02
  which is pretty good. Newcastle let it four goals
• 1:06:06
  because if Cher didn't shut the bed and call, if you already
• 1:06:10
  played, what Konya would have been in it.
• 1:06:13
  Yeah, you still are in it, probably honest. 35 points I
• 1:06:16
  mean 35 points is doable I mean. His highest word of the year is
• 1:06:21
  33. So it's like to have your best
• 1:06:24
  game but better. Yeah, it's essentially hat
• 1:06:26
  trick, or like two goals and couple assists.
• 1:06:27
  Yeah, we're two goals and assists and a bunch of key
• 1:06:30
  passes. Which he's capable of.
• 1:06:32
  Like who was capable of doing? Yeah, but you know, it kind of.
• 1:06:36
  Sergey mentioned it. How?
• 1:06:37
  Like what? Did you say, what did you say
• 1:06:38
  about me? How, how?
• 1:06:39
  What kind of points I score? I don't take your team seriously
• 1:06:42
  at all. This is why, like, I'm pretty.
• 1:06:44
  Who do you play next week and. What did I say?
• 1:06:46
  What did I say last week? It's not my fault.
• 1:06:48
  If what? I mean if.
• 1:06:51
  People don't show up. You don't show up to the big
• 1:06:53
  games. I showed up, I don't.
• 1:06:55
  Overexert myself. My team scores just enough
• 1:06:58
  points to win. I showed up more solid that I
• 1:07:00
  show up. Mr. My fault Muscle problem.
• 1:07:04
  But you do realize if Liverpool played you would have lost?
• 1:07:07
  Yeah, maybe or no. No.
• 1:07:10
  Or if this wasn't a double game week, no matter what he would
• 1:07:12
  have started, I would have been able to play other players.
• 1:07:14
  Yeah, you can't. Yeah, you can't start getting
• 1:07:16
  into it. Did you just compare my other
• 1:07:18
  wiki with? No, I'm talking about players
• 1:07:20
  that are playing and being benched because of a double game
• 1:07:23
  week. Now the positive thing of this
• 1:07:26
  is I'm pretty much guaranteed to win later on in the year because
• 1:07:29
  I'm going to get 2 Liverpool games in one week.
• 1:07:32
  Wait, wait, wait. Take no away just said.
• 1:07:34
  Take no away, just said I'm a win.
• 1:07:37
  Market here What's this mark clip?
• 1:07:39
  Can we try marking clip pretty much guaranteed away.
• 1:07:42
  What is there any interesting matchups for our league next
• 1:07:45
  week? I play Richard listen in the
• 1:07:47
  pelvic trustor. I play miss if you play Sergey,
• 1:07:51
  that's not an easy matchup. Thomas is about the. 3rd No, no,
• 1:07:54
  that's what I'm saying. I'm worried about playing
• 1:07:56
  Thomas. I mean, not that the projections
• 1:07:57
  are great, but he's projected to beat you right now.
• 1:07:59
  I mean, it seems good. You saw Chris Wood.
• 1:08:01
  Wait. It seems good.
• 1:08:03
  Yeah. Can we wait?
• 1:08:05
  Can we talk about that too? How when we were playing Keith
• 1:08:08
  and Keith said you're not going to hit 150 points.
• 1:08:10
  Oh, guarantees. Oh my.
• 1:08:11
  God, I said that too. And.
• 1:08:13
  Then expect you 180. Yeah, baby.
• 1:08:16
  No, but to be fair Enzo has Watkins on the bench so once he
• 1:08:20
  fixes his line up his it'll. Although.
• 1:08:22
  Fucking Kai. Harvard just projected 17 points
• 1:08:25
  and Watkins is only projected 13.
• 1:08:27
  I'm technically first place. I'm still technically first
• 1:08:30
  place. Just for a few more hours.
• 1:08:32
  Just for a few more hours. By by the time we do the next
• 1:08:34
  podcast, I might still be in first place.
• 1:08:36
  You never know. We'll see.
• 1:08:38
  We'll see, alright. Boys see you.
• 1:08:41
  Boys take care.
