So it's good to see you selling on the score.
0:01
Shoot, I feel like we everyone kind of reach for selling except
0:03
for randomly our our, our league all.
0:06
Hits something he's a dirty fucker and that he has people on
0:08
purpose. Welcome to episode 73 of Draft
0:13
Offsides. That with Tico and Enzo.
0:14
My name is Keith. We are now past the halfway
0:18
point. We've been a little bit on a
0:20
hiatus because we all live in Los Angeles and the whole city's
0:23
been on fire. I don't, I lost, I lost power
0:27
for a few days. Enzo was literally like
0:29
rebuilding his fences. Tico fled to Armenia.
0:32
Yeah. Tico, I don't leave the country.
0:34
It's been, it's been a chaotic time.
0:36
But we are back and we're all safe and we're thinking about
0:39
everyone that's suffered from this.
0:41
And I'm into that. And yeah, but let's get into it.
0:46
Well, it's just let's do 2 minutes talking shit about each
0:48
other and then let's get into the recaps, right?
0:50
Because I think we there's a lot of pent up shit that we want to
0:53
say. Go on Tico, you start off, you
0:57
got the most shit. I thought you guys were going to
1:00
start off with apologizing to me.
1:02
About what? Well, Tico C was losing pretty
1:07
badly and I made a comment about this team's average without
1:11
Salah carrying him and I stand by it.
1:13
I'm sorry, even though you made it just scrape on a win, I stand
1:16
by it. Your team's average out.
1:17
I stand by. Yeah.
1:18
Without Salah, your team is average.
1:19
Like my team's an actual team. Yeah, exactly 4.
1:22
I've got Raya. I've got the best, the best.
1:27
No, no, no, I'm good guy, the best left back in the in the
1:30
country and then I've got one of the best midfielders at the
1:33
moment in a wobby and then up front I've just got a variety.
1:38
It's funny because when I did the draft they said I had the
1:40
best offense and I've got fucking 6 strikers.
1:43
I've got to rotate. Yeah.
1:45
Yeah, yeah, yeah. On top of that, what else has
1:50
happened? And so you lost this week pretty
1:51
devastatingly to this you you are on the wrong side of a
1:53
Mandialo. You just got one shot by
1:55
Mandialo. Pretty much I was.
1:57
I was up by fucking 50 and then he scored 43.
2:02
Yeah, and then Bruno, they've just got enough.
2:04
To yeah, they've got enough to go over the top.
2:06
Well, you they're just going to shoot on my team and not even
2:08
give me a chance to like this on my team or just yeah, no, no.
2:11
No, we've moved on. We've moved on.
2:12
We've. Already passed it.
2:14
We passed it. What else has happened?
2:17
I made a trainer with Sergei that it was kind of funny.
2:22
Boy, there's, there's, there's context to it that's actually
2:24
even funnier. So I picked up Matt Sells like 2
2:27
weeks ago. So I had, I had Mark Flecken and
2:29
Matt Sells who were the number one to two rate keepers.
2:31
And obviously I don't need, I don't need 2 keepers.
2:34
So I've been, I've been trying to trade with everybody to get
2:37
rid of, to get rid of one of them.
2:40
And obviously no one bites because nobody wants to trade a
2:42
keeper because it's lame to trade a keeper.
2:43
Like no one wants to give up like a piece or anything.
2:46
And at one point I and like Sergey's keeper was injured, so
2:49
I was really trying to share with him and he was like,
2:52
rightfully so being like, no. And at one point he's like, I'm
2:54
just going to wait for you to drop one of them.
2:55
I know you're going to drop one of them.
2:57
And I was like, fuck. And I was like, kind of like, I
2:59
think he's kind of getting close to.
3:01
I was like, I can't, like, I can't give into this.
3:03
I can't drop him. Kind of Sergey is going to pick
3:05
him up. So I've made, I kept making like
3:06
significantly worse and worse trade offers to him until
3:09
finally I made such a big trade offer, bad trade offer that he
3:12
finally accepted it as Matt Sells and Will Smith Row.
3:15
And it's literally like I'm probably going to drop his mill
3:17
Smith row, but I needed to not drop Matt Sells.
3:21
That was only the whole logic. I was like, I can't like, I have
3:23
to like have a moral victory here.
3:25
Exactly what I was thinking with the trade admin was like he's
3:28
talking to keep ears on because he's not even like second string
3:33
on that full on team. I think he's like nut tree
3:35
bullshit. Maybe.
3:36
Maybe he'll get better, you know?
3:38
K what do you keep him then? Yeah.
3:40
Maybe Keith, you know the winner was from that trade me because
3:43
we played each other this week and you had two goalkeepers and
3:46
I was upset at your cells because they're playing
3:48
Southampton. I was like right, clean sheet
3:49
guaranteed. Fuck yeah, you're right.
3:51
And it's like against Liverpool. Yeah, but you'll get like a
3:54
million opportunities. I think I'm good.
3:57
I'm not mad. All right, Salah Hatchet
3:59
loading. Oh, Jesus.
4:03
Because he didn't. Because he really didn't do much
4:05
in the last game. He's.
4:06
Kind of doing a little, Is he a little bitty slump or no?
4:08
It's not really a slump, it's just look, Liverpool's in every
4:12
single cup competition at the moment so.
4:14
Yeah, they're just getting tired.
4:15
They're getting tired, they're rotating, so give give him a
4:18
SEC. Whole point is a slump before
4:20
that Heads 154023411136. Yeah, fuck off, Fuck off.
4:24
Fuck. Off It's his first game without
4:25
a goal contribution since October five you.
4:28
Know there's no disgusting. He's no Esac, is he so?
4:33
Thank you. OK, let's get into, let's get
4:35
into some of these matches real quick.
4:37
Kicking it off, Bretford 2, City 2.
4:41
Redford home form or City bad form?
4:44
I think a little bit of a combo. I think the most important thing
4:46
is that's in this game is that City kind of controlled it, went
4:48
up to oh, and then collapsed. Dude, let Bretford get back into
4:51
it. Huh.
4:52
They just collapsed. It's But the bright spots are
4:55
that Foden got two goals. That first one was beautiful,
4:57
the way he just just redirected that and that KDB crossed KDP at
5:01
27 points. You know, a bunch of, I mean,
5:05
actually a decent amount of City players hockey game.
5:07
Savio was double digits. Matteis Nunez was double digits.
5:11
Yeah, I mean, there was that was fine.
5:13
And then from the Brentford side, Whistle scored and Bueno
5:17
managed to get like double digits without a goal
5:19
contribution. Which is now the top goal scorer
5:22
for Brentford. Is he it's?
5:25
Not it was. It's not that much.
5:27
He beat Tony, but it's not like it's that much.
5:29
Yeah. Horton's averaging 14 points, or
5:33
his last 6-7 games. Last, Yeah.
5:36
Well, look, you had to wait fucking half a season for it,
5:38
but you? Know have you I think he's the
5:40
trade the trade winner has probably passed on yeah anyway
5:43
still holding on to him is. Is don't do a drop there now by
5:46
having both leagues. Ah, yeah, it's getting close.
5:50
Well, look, especially because they're getting this new guy
5:52
right. Yeah, again, that's what I say.
5:53
Mamoosh, Mamoosh. Yeah, the Egyptian.
5:56
Yeah, and then they're trying to get rid of Grealish right now
5:58
too. So and they, I think they get
6:00
rid of Carl Walker. So they're they're clearing us.
6:03
Yeah, he's gone, right? Tigo, I was you.
6:07
I would probably hold him through January just to see what
6:09
the what the happens. But yeah, I.
6:12
Guess to be honest I'm hoping for like a Savio or someone else
6:15
to get injured. Sorry, Keith.
6:17
Yeah, fair enough. That actually effects both of
6:20
us, because that's what. The fuck bro?
6:24
That's funny. But yeah, that was probably the
6:26
good things for Man C is Foden and KDB and controlling it.
6:29
But then like if I'm going to say if in Brentford coming back
6:34
was is there a great form at home?
6:36
And then, you know, yeah, Wemble and Whistle being the guys right
6:40
there. More city woes.
6:41
I'm not sure if you saw Ortega and pet kind of get into it
6:44
after God man, that was felt like he was like he was like
6:47
abusive. That was like.
6:48
It just stints. Like weird.
6:50
What the fuck is going like? I think he's starting to lose
6:52
his mind. I think started losing, he said.
6:54
She's getting divorced now too. Who?
6:56
No, that's what's been going on bro I.
6:58
Think that's what's been going on.
6:59
I think he's got a. Divorce.
7:00
You're right, Tico. But do you think, do you think
7:03
the divorce is cuz he's losing or is he losing therefore he's
7:06
getting a divorce? No.
7:07
No, I don't know what he is. I I think he's my fault.
7:09
You know what? You sucked now.
7:10
That's 12 years ago. You ever won.
7:12
Fuck else. Yeah, yeah, that's what I think
7:14
too. Yeah, that's what I think.
7:16
OK, next game Chelsea 2, Bournemouth 2.
7:20
Cole Palmer with 24 points and a beautiful goal absolutely put
7:24
the keeper on skates. Simenyo drew a penalty, had a
7:29
really nice goal as well where he just blasted it near post,
7:31
took advantage. She took went one-on-one with
7:33
like a 17 year old kid that was playing defence for Chelsea and
7:36
absolutely just destroyed it. Yeah, just boys to men.
7:39
Welcome to the Premier League, yeah?
7:41
Absolutely. Enzo Fernandez continues his
7:44
good form with 18.75 points. Yeah, what a Waker.
7:49
Yeah, but he's he's a, he's a high, he's a high scoring Waker.
7:52
Yeah, and now all Ghost points. He didn't score again.
7:54
Assists I got he hasn't he hasn't in a while.
7:57
I think it's just the the new system.
7:58
But what what's happening is it's actually not good for not
8:02
good for Chelsea because he's not that he doesn't play that
8:04
defensively. He's playing so high up.
8:06
It's like leaving them so. But he must be getting told to
8:08
do that. You know what I mean?
8:09
Yeah, So. It's going to be interesting
8:11
with Bournemouth because Evan Nielsen has a just got a a
8:15
broken Harsal surgery and then Udall who is their backup
8:18
striker, that actually was kind of thinking that might be a
8:20
sneaky pick up. He got injured too is out for
8:22
the rest of the season. So now like, Sabenio's probably
8:24
going to be the striker for the foreseeable future unless they
8:27
make a deal or something. Hopefully they buy Solanke back.
8:31
But just just something to keep an eye on.
8:33
I I think that's not a bad thing for Sabenio to be closer to
8:36
goal, no? I don't think he's just.
8:37
Such a presence, you know what I mean?
8:39
He's like, yeah, I think he can play that role.
8:41
Yeah. The other thing, Reese James
8:44
with the with the game time goal in the dying seconds, free kick,
8:46
18.5 points you're going. To start calling key fucking
8:49
Yoda. Can I hear it?
8:51
What did I say last? What did I say that episode?
8:53
You said that he was a he was a risky pick up but has high
8:57
potential did. He drop him though did.
9:00
I drop him pitching me. I never, I never picked him up.
9:04
Oh, I know you said that. I said defensively I'm good.
9:07
I don't. I didn't need that.
9:08
I was just saying he's like a high risk high reward option.
9:10
Defensively, you're good. Is that why you're sitting in
9:12
3rd place? With the most points scored?
9:16
Yes. That's why I'm sitting in 3rd
9:17
place with most points. How many points do you have
9:18
scored in though? Not the both 400 most 4.
9:21
Not the third most. I think I have the third most,
9:23
don't I? No, I see.
9:24
I see you guys. Why the?
9:25
4th most sorry. 4th No, you're the third most.
9:27
Congratulations. I am the third most.
9:30
Why did you why do you have to fat fat check that one that was.
9:33
I just remembered third because he's done the three-game losing
9:35
streaks, so it kind of like. All right, let's move on to the
9:39
next game. I mean, anything else Chelsea
9:41
was we want to talk about or Bournemouth wise, it's kind of
9:44
the only key things. They're a little frustrating as
9:47
a matter Weki owner not to play that well, that's our owner is
9:50
probably unhappy. Sancho's looking pretty secure
9:52
on the left side, especially with, you know, what's your God.
9:56
Yeah, You know what's frustrating as a matter Weki
9:57
I'll know is that like if he only plays like 15 minutes to
10:00
only get, he'd only gain like 6-8 points.
10:02
But if he plays a full night, he'll get like. 2.
10:06
Yeah, he gives you like 2 points, So what the fuck is
10:08
going on here? He's like an impact player.
10:10
But we think there's more value for Kim and Shad Shadi, however
10:13
his. Shot.
10:15
Yes, with old injuries, Bradford just got I think.
10:18
I think. Lewis, Paul.
10:20
We're talking. Oh, you guys.
10:22
Are you back on Bedford? Yeah.
10:24
I'm saying Lewis, Paul for Brentford, for me, I.
10:26
Have someone else that I was another Brentford player I'm
10:28
going to call out, but we could talk about him in the in the
10:31
waiver section. Oh, yeah.
10:32
Next Ham. West Ham 3 full of two.
10:34
This was Grant Potter's first game in charge of West Ham.
10:38
Wait, am I right? No, it's David.
10:39
Is that right? No.
10:40
Yeah, Paul. Yeah, it's Paul.
10:41
All these new manager changes, Potter's first game, first win.
10:45
I don't think it was his first. He they lost in the Cup.
10:48
First game in the league. First game in the league, first
10:50
win. Anthony Robinson 31.5 points
10:54
with two assists. 9 total, that's will be 34.5 as if you
11:00
can't tell. Enzo has both those players and
11:02
has been that. Champion of both those.
11:05
I, I, I posed this to you guys earlier and Sergei was actually
11:08
really mean about it, but what do you think was a worst trade?
11:11
Me trading Nico Jackson for Anthony, me trading away Anthony
11:16
Robinson for Nico Jackson, or me trading away Brian and Benbow
11:19
for Anthony Gordon. Yeah, he said both, but I said
11:22
them. Wember, Gordon.
11:23
Something I think now I think it's the Robinson.
11:26
No, Gordon's playing amazing. He got Gordon.
11:28
Gordon's been great. I was.
11:29
Going to say Gordon play amazing.
11:31
Yeah, Gordon. Easily Robinson.
11:32
He's right. Seven.
11:34
And he's also American. And he's a Fender and a Fender.
11:40
Yeah, yeah, I fucked up. That was that was a bad one.
11:43
I'm a. 10-9 assists the previous three years to mine.
11:48
He only had 7. Yeah, no, it's, it's crazy.
11:51
He's he's just, he's stepped, he's stepped up.
11:53
He's up a level. I think he's going to go to a
11:54
big team. I'm not sure about how.
11:55
It probably won't happen in January.
11:56
Swear he better not go to my show man I'll.
11:58
Be seals in January. I think it's, I think it's
12:01
Liverpool. You think it's Liverpool because
12:03
Robo's on his way out. You're right.
12:05
I, I think it's Liverpool. I think that would be a really,
12:07
I think that's the type of signing that Liverpool would
12:09
love to go from these teams. Is there anything else?
12:16
I thought it was interesting the way that West Ham played without
12:18
a striker and I think that to me that speaks to the fact that
12:21
they're probably going to get 1, I think.
12:22
That's like. I think there's one I'm gonna,
12:25
there's one that's rumored that I'm going to talk about in
12:27
waivers. I thought the Cats are playing
12:29
with God, managed to get a goal, but that that's not sustainable.
12:32
But I think he's going to. I could see him doing better
12:34
with Grandpa as the coach. Well, you remember the Potter
12:36
and Brian, you remember that team he had with Mccoma and who
12:39
he had on the wing? Yeah.
12:41
So this is this West Hampton is very similar to kudos and
12:44
fucking Somerville. It's going to work out very well
12:47
what he wants up front. He's going to want a big man or
12:50
someone that can hold the ball up.
12:52
So we'll see how this work. I think this be perfect for for
12:56
Potter. Yeah, I, you know, what's funny
12:58
though is I if I think about those Potter teams, like I think
13:00
there's at times where slowly March played in that that
13:03
striker position. So I don't know if it is
13:05
necessarily it could be a big man.
13:06
I know great Potter has on that. But I also think there is the
13:08
opportunity for it not to be a big man, but I just think like
13:12
Potter is such a ticker. So it will be interesting.
13:15
But I do think that there is a striker going to that's going to
13:17
come. But I'm upset you because you
13:19
then you think you would have thought Folk Crook was the guy
13:22
who's going to fucking. Injure.
13:23
Him go injured. Yeah, that's that.
13:25
He'll find the magic in it. Fulham are we, we're feeling
13:29
great about Fulham, right? Like there's a lot of, there's a
13:32
lot of pieces you can on that team, I think.
13:34
Did you play Harry Wilson, Tico? Did I see that?
13:36
I did your matchups, you did. Someone did, He had a decent
13:39
game, like 9 plus points. So yeah, there's some good
13:43
pieces there. Yeah.
13:45
So exciting stuff. Yeah, definitely West Ham.
13:46
I'm definitely tuning into West Ham games where all of a sudden,
13:49
yeah, curious to see how. What it does, yeah.
13:51
Yeah, but like, Kudos didn't have a great start to the to the
13:53
pottery, but I Kudos was one of those guys that can turn it on
13:56
any game. So that's interesting.
13:59
I'm excited about that one. OK, next game, Force One,
14:01
Liverpool One. Were you shocked by this result?
14:04
No. Yeah, I don't think I was
14:06
either. No, this, it seemed like a fair
14:08
result, perfectly honest, like. And you also see how Liverpool
14:12
was Liverpool really rotated. I think if Liverpool had like
14:15
their first strongest team out there, I think they would have
14:19
they they might have edged it. But Forrest has been great
14:22
defensively. Alanga Hudson Adoy would would
14:26
baby. You know what I.
14:27
Mean this is his 11th goal or his 13th goal or something.
14:31
Jata 18.75 points. He got the goal, he looked good,
14:34
he started. Did he start?
14:38
Yeah, he did start he. Started.
14:40
I just don't think that he's going to be starting week in,
14:41
week out. He's.
14:42
Not long term, yeah, I think he's a long time long term
14:45
started. Anthony Olega was 17 points.
14:47
He got the assist. Anthony Olega has had a goal
14:50
contribution six games in a row, three goals, 3 assists the last
14:54
six games. So he's he's quietly having a
14:58
very strong last like month and a half.
15:02
We talked about Wood with that goal.
15:04
It's just a just a, you know, just solid.
15:07
Like, nothing spectacular, just very solid.
15:09
Does his bloody job. Does his job.
15:12
Are we worried about Liverpool slipping?
15:14
I think that this is just par for the course a little bit.
15:17
Yeah. I think it's just, wait, I you
15:19
brought it, you set it privately.
15:20
I think it's just a lot of games in a row.
15:21
And this is, this is always going to happen on some level.
15:24
Like they haven't even had a bad lot.
15:27
They haven't had a bad loss yet. It's not like they're really
15:29
messing up. But that's the it's going to
15:31
come. Every team has it throughout the
15:34
season. It's a long season, so this
15:35
might be it. They might, you know, they still
15:38
have a game in hand. They might lose a game another
15:39
too, but they'll have a Rostresh coming up in the middle of the
15:43
schedule. But I was actually hoping for a
15:44
Forest win just so at the top of the table was a little bit
15:46
closer just. Yeah.
15:49
I'm still, I'm still rooting for Forest.
15:51
Yeah, of course. I mean, yeah, just.
15:53
Really. I think everyone is, yeah.
15:54
Yeah, all right. Next game, Arsenal 2, Spurs one.
15:59
You know what's really bad? Every time, every time Tottenham
16:04
goes one nil up like I'm there's no, there's no part of me that's
16:08
confident now we're going to hold this or score enough for
16:12
one or or freaking defend it off ever.
16:17
I feel I even in you've seen it. We've been up three nil.
16:20
I'm not fucking confident the way Ange plays.
16:23
So I wasn't surprised by this. I don't think, I don't think
16:26
anyone really was. It's just feels like you can't.
16:30
It feels like you can't trust hot in a bit.
16:32
Keep a cliche. You know, we've only won there
16:34
twice in the last 10 years. Yeah, yeah.
16:39
OK, going back to the game, Odegard finally had a good game,
16:42
his first good game in like 3 months.
16:44
It's been a, it's been a dry spell, brother.
16:48
It has been AS as someone who hasn't I thought who did some
16:52
shady deals to get him AS. Old coming out.
16:56
I've been feeling it. Yeah, last time he had a good
17:01
game was like November 30th, 15 point.
17:03
Can I take a small game third lap?
17:05
Just real quick, you guys picked for the guard?
17:07
I said Bruno Fernandez will have the better year moving forward.
17:11
Is he having a better year going forward?
17:13
Easily think he hasn't had a good game since.
17:18
OK, but has Bruno had amazing games since November?
17:21
He's ranked 11th. OK, maybe last weekend,
17:25
22/18/21. 18 Yeah, I see, I see, I see.
17:28
Yeah. He's good.
17:29
Yeah, it's that that 44.75 repatted.
17:32
It Bruno's a machine, man, He's a machine.
17:35
Yeah, I don't think he he doesn't need.
17:37
I think I've heard it before where they said Bruno doesn't
17:40
need good players around him. He'll fucking he'll play like
17:42
shit for 80 minutes, but then he'll bang one in.
17:45
Yeah. Whereas I think older guard
17:46
needs things around him to make it work.
17:49
I yeah, I think that's fair. I think I think that's a fair
17:52
fairway to look at it the rest of this game.
17:55
Troussard 15.25 points. Good shot.
17:59
Yeah, Son got a goal too, so it's good to see you selling on
18:02
the scoresheet. I feel like we everyone kind of
18:04
reach for selling except for randomly our our our league all
18:07
hits Son but I. Can't tell them just just just
18:10
Thomas for some reason. He's very hated for some reason.
18:13
He thinks he's a dirty fucker and that he hurts people on
18:15
purpose. It's a strange.
18:17
He's very. Strange.
18:19
But OK, bounce back game for Arsenal.
18:21
Was this a bounce back game? Yeah, they had a rough, they've
18:24
had a rough few games like in the cups and then now like they,
18:27
I don't think they've won, have they in a couple games?
18:30
This is their first win I think in a couple games.
18:32
I think the thing that Arsenal says that they're just so like
18:34
kind of boring. They're just really boring to
18:37
watch. It's a lot of sideways football.
18:40
There's there's not that much excitement going on and Even so,
18:42
the the goal came from a one of the first goal came from 1/4.
18:47
That wasn't a corner, but yeah. It was 1/4 right though.
18:49
No, it wasn't. No, no, it shouldn't have been a
18:51
corner. It was a quarter, but it should.
18:53
Not have been a corner, yeah, yeah, it should not have been a
18:55
quarter Pedro Poro yeah, yeah, yeah got it deflected off.
18:59
But I think that that should be variable.
19:02
I think that should be I think that should be something that's
19:05
like that's like a 5 second like that should be like someone
19:08
should easily be able to tell that like 10 like you should
19:10
have like a three second window to be able to say yes or no to
19:13
something like that. But anyways, let's either hear
19:15
that or there it happened and they got another set piece.
19:19
So it's cracking up off off camera Spurs players hard to
19:24
start. Would you say that's just
19:26
because you don't know if they're going to perform or you
19:28
say because you don't know if they're going to start or like
19:30
you're? Not going to get clean sheet
19:31
points. You're definitely not going to
19:34
get clean shoot. Points are you defensively
19:36
you're not going to get too much out of them.
19:38
Like they don't they get dispossessed a lot.
19:41
There's a lot of bad passes in that midfield, like they only
19:45
put there's only two players there that I would really pull
19:48
and I I would think I could start and that's Poro and Kulu
19:52
that it only to even son. I think you could you.
19:55
Think I don't think you could start Son.
19:56
He's been so goal dependent. Where is?
20:00
Where is son in in the rankings, I wonder?
20:02
Because his games haven't been high scoring.
20:06
He hasn't had he hasn't had a good season.
20:09
No, that's what I'm saying. That's why I can't.
20:11
You couldn't star him so. He's ranked 19th total.
20:14
Points, yeah, that's not bad at all actually.
20:16
Where is where is he going? Where is his ADP was what I'm
20:19
trying to find that. 9.4 stone, end of first round, early 2nd.
20:26
So he's under, he's underperforming from that stat.
20:29
But just from like a general standpoint, that's kind of what
20:31
I expected from them. And that's why I didn't draft
20:33
him in any of our leagues because I think we talked about
20:35
we just, we saw that decline. Coming drop off, yeah.
20:40
The person who was the most you're starting that you have to
20:42
start. The person who has the most
20:43
points for them is still Madison, which is kind of crazy
20:45
because he hadn't started in what, the last 3-4 games?
20:49
It shows you though. But when he does perform, he
20:52
fucking. What is going on?
20:54
What is going on though with him outside the games?
20:56
I don't fucking know man, but sometimes, like honestly that
20:59
that FA Cup game against Tamworth, against the Zara
21:02
fucking store manager and the plumbers and shit like the star
21:05
star manager. Well the striker, the strikers,
21:09
the the store manager for Zara, the Senate backs who did the
21:13
frigging 12 is a fucking plumber.
21:16
We've got man a match. I'm sorry, it's terrible they
21:19
went 9 minutes without scoring. Amazing.
21:21
It's amazing. But Madison, that first half,
21:23
fucking absolutely amazing. Couldn't get, couldn't score,
21:25
but absolutely amazing. Then all of a sudden the
21:27
second-half disappeared. Gone.
21:30
You know, it's something between engine Madison, something
21:33
happening there that's. I think it's very possible, very
21:37
possible. That's what's going on.
21:38
I'm hoping they start to a different team in the
21:40
Premiership to be honest. I don't.
21:42
I don't think there's any. Chance that it's not, but.
21:44
Levy but it sucks. But yeah.
21:45
Well, if you sell, if he sells him to somebody in the Premier
21:48
League, it's going to be a a price that suits Levy.
21:51
He was. Ranked, yeah, that's who walks
21:52
into most teams. Don't you think he like what
21:54
team does he not walk into? Every single team.
22:00
Maybe Chelsea. Who?
22:03
Madison. Yeah, he he doesn't walk into
22:06
the Man City team. What he?
22:07
Does about? Yeah, he does, man.
22:09
I don't think so. I think he does.
22:11
Doesn't walk into the the Liverpool team.
22:14
Maybe the Liverpool team, but then I would also argue I'd
22:16
rather play him than Curtis Drum.
22:17
The slowest slide? I I'll take no over slowest
22:19
slide. But yeah, OK, it's just an odd
22:21
one the way that and is doing it.
22:23
I just I as I really agree with you what you said like 3 months
22:26
ago, I think and is short for this world that we live in,
22:29
which is the Premier League. Yeah, I just just feels like.
22:32
Well, there's still there's a Carabella Cup, maybe.
22:35
And the FA Cup. Yeah, we'll see.
22:39
I mean him winning a trophy would be amazing.
22:40
I hope that he wins a trophy and then get sacked.
22:43
Fuck. Or he gets to the final and get
22:45
sacked the Jose. Maria Oh dude, I hope they don't
22:48
do that again. Man that's so fucked.
22:50
Up, I hope, Let me learn his lesson from last time, but we'll
22:52
see. All right, next.
22:54
Moving on. Next game.
22:54
Everton 0, Aston Villa 1. David Moyes back with Everton
22:58
after 10 years away. He's back as a manager.
23:02
There anything else really speak about Everton?
23:05
Looks like it's kind of the same old table, right?
23:08
They looked defensively solid. I thought there wasn't that much
23:11
in it and even the goal was kind of just like it's like a little
23:14
bit of a fast breakthrough ball. Everything finally got it but.
23:18
It just shows you because what can only go ahead 13 points, he
23:21
didn't do too much. He's sort of the goal dependent
23:24
player. But I also think it's just
23:26
Everton was pretty locked out. I think Everton is pretty going
23:29
to be pretty locked down. David Boies is like say like
23:32
with the dice or it's very defensive first and then, but I
23:35
think boys can spring the counter.
23:37
I was going to say I think Moyes is more attacking than Dice's.
23:40
Yeah, I'm surprised they got rid of Dice.
23:41
Puffy. Honest.
23:42
Isn't the Ryan coming back next game too?
23:46
So a walk is might go back to the back.
23:48
He might do, but they won't rush him back in.
23:50
Bro yeah and also I don't know if no it.
23:52
Wasn't an injury. He got a ride.
23:56
I mean, that's right. Yeah, he got this.
23:57
That's right, that's right, but they still won't rush him back
23:59
in. Was going to score 2 out of the
24:01
last. Three, yeah.
24:02
I think the scariest thing for Everton is the fact that Dwight
24:05
Mcneil's missed seven games with a knee injury.
24:07
And every single week they just, there's just no new info on it.
24:10
It's like very scary. Yeah, it's just every single
24:13
week it's like, oh, still not good enough.
24:15
So to me that says it's actually probably bad.
24:17
It's like a swelling thing. It just won't go down.
24:19
And he keeps probably trying to train and it won't go down every
24:22
time he after he trains, which is really scary and probably
24:25
means that he could be pretty close to season ending or go
24:28
getting a surgery, you know? And then once that happens.
24:31
Yeah, and Kyle offered me Jack Greelish and Piquetta for for
24:37
Big deal last week, and I'm already thinking that maybe I
24:40
should have taken that. Good.
24:44
Kyle does. You know what he's he does do
24:46
some crazy trades. But that one, that one I'm not
24:49
actually that mad about. No, I wouldn't be too mad about
24:51
it. Because you.
24:52
Especially if. Piketa.
24:54
I hate Piketa, but I could, I could, I could love hate Piketa.
24:57
I can. I can love hate it.
24:58
I also think that maybe if Grealish goes somewhere else and
25:01
all of a sudden that's a pretty interesting.
25:02
I think I think he should stay in the Prem man.
25:04
He also, I mean if he but if he goes to like freaking, you know.
25:09
You know he could go and also fucked it up.
25:12
He's free Dory beer. Because if Rashford had gone to
25:16
Arsenal and then fucking Grealish went to Man United,
25:19
it's perfect. He doesn't have to leave his
25:20
home. He stays in Manchester and he
25:22
gets a play on the fucking left. Yeah, we'll see, but Arsenal
25:27
fuck it up because. They went and got fucking Neto
25:29
on loan because you only have two players on loan.
25:31
So they got Sterling and now fucking idiots.
25:34
All right, next game Leicester 0 Palace to Geigy scored a goal
25:39
24.5 points as they had the cyst.
25:42
Ishmael SAR looked good again. I think he had double digit
25:45
points but he had to scored another goal.
25:47
Those are kind of the key players.
25:48
There are obviously Mitchell and Munez too, but but that's kind
25:55
of it that that we can move on from that game.
25:57
Yeah. Newcastle 3, Wolves 0.
26:02
Alexander Esack continues his amazing run of form.
26:04
Is he hottest player in the league?
26:08
Is he so hot right now? Han's also hot right now.
26:10
He's so hot. He's so hot right now, yeah.
26:14
Two goals of assists, really. I mean, the only thing that over
26:18
showered overshadowed him this week was Diallo.
26:22
Yeah, because. He was top scorer until Diallo
26:25
fucking went off today. Yeah but I don't think he's over
26:29
show he's he's now matched to 8 games with a goal.
26:32
That only body who did it twice with Leicester and Venice or did
26:35
it twice a Unite. But but who'd you know has the
26:38
record for total most ever? It's so isn't an Arsenal player
26:44
a Chelsea player? No, it's one of it's, it's
26:46
Vardy. Vardy has 11 gifts.
26:47
That's right, 11. Is that crazy?
26:51
He could still get it when I was that season when he was gone.
26:53
Where Lester? One is going ballistic.
26:55
I think she'd averaging 11.2 points.
26:57
Yeah, but it's not going to happen.
26:59
Yeah, I read, I read somewhere that Dubrov could might leave
27:01
once Pope gets back healthy again.
27:03
Because he was the he was the number one.
27:06
At one point, yeah, he's good. Before the money came, he was in
27:09
the one he did. Such a good job.
27:10
Yeah, but you know. I will say that, you know, Cudia
27:16
came off the bench and looked good once he was off the bench.
27:19
Everyone else on Wolves I'm kind of sussed about really.
27:24
Yeah, I just, I mean Strand Larson to be Strand Larson's
27:27
always look good, but just hasn't quite been a final.
27:29
Result. I think he's a player for next
27:31
season. Yeah, I like that.
27:33
There's not a lot of other players that are super keen on.
27:35
Obviously I had noise. Someone we like, but.
27:37
Gomez didn't. Have another good game, but
27:39
Gomez I I don't. He'll miss in the middle.
27:42
It's just doing. Yeah.
27:43
What a split Whitey's. Was it nice?
27:46
Yeah. I just think that all those guys
27:47
are just way very big guys except for outdoor and you know,
27:51
I think. Have you guys seen what the?
27:54
I know we talked about how hard Newcastle is, but there are
27:56
numbers lately like the last month and 1/2.
27:58
It's crazy dude. They, they had eight players in
28:01
the top four. They just fucking, they're
28:02
dominating the point scoring. Look at this averages
28:05
24.1715121211119 point 4 and that's just within the last like
28:11
two months 9.3. It's looking crazy.
28:15
It's what it's what Kyle wishes May and I was doing so he'd be
28:18
winning every. Week, Dude, even Bruno, Bruno
28:20
Emeris, who we shed on for like starting start of the year has
28:23
turned it up. He's playing like his last year.
28:25
Yeah, he's he's playing in real. It's it's they they really
28:28
settled in this midfield with Tonali back and Bruno and Joe
28:32
Jollington. It's just like it's dominant.
28:34
It's just like physi. It's like that perfect balance
28:36
of like physicality and finesse that's.
28:38
A really good yeah. And then when you have guys up
28:39
top scoring like they are, I mean, Gordon's had the basic few
28:44
weeks too. Like, I mean, he's like, he's
28:46
acts like Gordon's being overshadowed by the fact that
28:48
Esacs scoring even more, but. Don't forget about Murphy, I
28:52
mean. How many weeks has Gordon
28:53
updated that in the top, you know?
28:55
Murphy's been on fire too. My.
28:57
Guys, yeah, Murphy's big baby. That's top three.
28:59
And that midfield has been solid.
29:01
And then freaking what's his name?
29:03
Damn Burn. Big damn Burn playing a centre
29:06
back thing. He needs to stay there man.
29:09
Yeah, I think he will stay there, right.
29:10
Gordon's playing better than he was last year, last year, like
29:13
number wise, the last like two months is putting a better
29:16
chance he's up. To good, good trade, Keith.
29:19
He's up to #9 for. The year, yeah, I kind of want
29:23
to do the math. I was with him.
29:24
I'll do it when we get off. I want to do the math between
29:27
actually the amount of total points scored between Bobo and
29:29
Gordon since I made that trade. So I'd be curious just to really
29:32
just to really feel bad about myself or feel good about
29:34
myself. OK.
29:35
But yeah, so Newcastle. Unreal.
29:38
Ride it. Ride it for as long as you can.
29:40
Those offenders are liquid gold and they're not.
29:43
They're solid. But yeah, you get it.
29:44
OK, Next game if Switch 0, Brighton 2.
29:47
Yep. Brighton finally won a game.
29:50
It's been a while since they've had a win.
29:52
Yeah, well, I can, but we, I always say this when you go
29:55
against one of the sheetings and you win, it's not like that
29:57
doesn't fill me with confidence shit, you know?
30:00
What I mean it's, it's a morale thing, right?
30:02
Yeah, I guess, I guess. But like, I want to see them be
30:06
like, you know, the West Ham in the middle of the disabled or
30:09
something like that, you know? It's a momentum builder.
30:12
Well, that's a builder I I would say.
30:14
March, he came back, Stalin March played two minutes against
30:17
what was a couple of games ago and then he hasn't played again.
30:21
Yeah, for fuck's sake. Well, well, that's, that's what
30:23
I was trying. That's what I was trying to get
30:25
from that sales from. So yeah, I was trying to get.
30:26
Oh really? Yeah, he was not having it.
30:28
No, he weren't having it. He think that.
30:30
He thinks that's a gem right there.
30:32
Diamond Rough. Yeah, Matoma.
30:34
Matoma had 18 sub points, five points or something like that.
30:38
Good game from him with the goal.
30:40
Matt O'reilly's interesting. He had a good assist.
30:44
A Digger played, didn't really perform well, but we know that a
30:47
Digger is a good player. We've seen him do well before.
30:50
Yeah, Retro came on, Welbeck came on.
30:54
He's not. Healthy, so I thought
30:56
interesting. He wanted to see if he's been
30:57
dropped in leagues. I picked him up in one of our
30:59
leagues. Yeah, I kept, I kept hold of him
31:02
just in case when he comes back and he, you know, match up wise.
31:06
But I don't think he's going to take Pedro's spot.
31:08
I think Pedro's sort of the farthest spot.
31:10
You feel like he's officially solidified it.
31:11
Yeah, I think so. I mean, he looked pretty good.
31:13
It'll be interesting to see. I mean, Fabian Hertzer really
31:17
loved well Back in the beginning of the year.
31:19
Well Back had a phenomenal beginning of the year.
31:21
I don't know. It's hard for me to think that
31:23
he's just going to. Yeah.
31:24
But did you see? Do you see his games off though?
31:26
He had like seven or eight games where he was scoring single
31:29
digits. And was he?
31:30
Yeah. He started off hot, last
31:32
straight too. Then he cooled off.
31:34
Yeah. He's a he's an older guy,
31:35
probably just got tired. Yep, I know it's good for half a
31:38
seat. First half, he's the first half
31:41
guy. OK.
31:44
Next game, last game, United 3 S Hampton one.
31:47
This is the game that's spelled Enzo's Do this week in our
31:50
fantasy league. Fucking.
31:52
Zombie players. So you were you were up by 70
31:55
points going into this game, but the guy you were playing had
31:58
five United players. 5 or 6, Yeah.
32:02
Which is obviously, it's obviously the same that five
32:04
players from the same. Team and I'm not and one
32:05
defender and a goalkeeper. So when Southampton got that
32:08
goal, she said you're good fucking golden, no fucking clean
32:11
sheep points and I check check in the game, keep checking in,
32:14
don't get around the points are going up and there was one point
32:16
where I was I was up by 30. It was 70th minute and I was
32:20
like fine, perfect. Even if someone scores.
32:23
You're so good. I'm still good and I come back
32:25
and check in because I can see Carl messaging in the chat room
32:27
thinking oh he's talking shit, let me go find out.
32:29
And I'm like what the fuck just happened?
32:32
That's rough. I'm sorry.
32:33
That's nice. Happens.
32:35
And it wasn't like you had like a, it wasn't like you had a bit
32:38
of mediocre scored with you. You scored like 140 points. 138
32:42
yeah 100. And 88, Yeah, so.
32:44
And the worst part is like you're going against Bruno
32:46
Fernandez, you think he's going to be the one killing you.
32:48
He only had 7.75. The audience so.
32:51
Yeah, Diallo. Fucking.
32:52
Diallo So Diallo 43.25 points star for the future.
32:57
Highest scoring player of this week, his highest scoring game
33:00
ever. Pretty sensational.
33:03
United were. I mean, I didn't watch, I just
33:05
saw. I watched the extended
33:06
highlights but they look pretty bad.
33:08
It's I think, like I said, I think this formation can work
33:13
with the two 10s. I actually like the formation.
33:16
I something he has the players that he wants for it, but he has
33:19
some players like Diallo. I think so player menu.
33:22
I don't care what anyone says if I'm not going to get rid of him,
33:25
I think I'm not sure they should keep and I think there's a
33:27
couple players they should get rid of, like get rid of Xerxi,
33:29
get rid of fucking Rashford and a couple other Deadwood.
33:33
But I think this could work for Man United if they get the right
33:36
players. Rashford, do you think he you
33:41
think there's a chesty stairs at all?
33:42
I think he's 100% gone, absolutely.
33:45
He's on, I don't know, man, he's on 500 bags.
33:49
So he's going to, he's going to want to have to take a pick.
33:50
He's going to want to take a pick.
33:51
Up. No one's going to pay him that.
33:53
No, no one's going to pay him that.
33:54
Of course not. He's going to have to take a,
33:56
he's going to take a pick up to go anywhere.
33:58
I've heard AC Malone, I've heard obviously PSG was in there for a
34:01
second, but now they're going for that one.
34:03
One guy from, I don't know did they didn't get him because he
34:07
went to fucking see. So maybe PSG?
34:11
Audi the crazy thing is he still roster it.
34:15
He's still rostered, but this is the thing.
34:17
Yeah, he'd be. Yeah, of course he is because
34:19
fucking Derek's stubborn bastard.
34:21
But look, if Arsenal didn't have fucking no, I'm go, I'll tell
34:25
you right now. He'd kill it Arsenal and he'd
34:27
play on that left hand side because Marnelli's a piece of
34:29
shit and Sterling doing nothing. Do you think he would go to
34:32
Arsenal? I feel like Roster is the type
34:33
of guy that he would he's going to play United or leave the
34:35
country. No, I don't think so.
34:39
Not after what you know has done to him.
34:41
Really. Yeah, I don't think so.
34:43
Interested. I still think he's just like a
34:44
united boy. There's there's not enough
34:46
loyalty in the world anymore, not in football.
34:51
Yeah, you anyone else out there? Do we care about?
34:54
Are we still? Are we Tyler Dibley.
34:55
Interesting. He he took a while.
34:58
Interested me, but like, I'm not.
35:00
What about Sugar Wawa? Is he he?
35:03
He was kind of making Lenny Yora look silly.
35:05
Was that what it was? Yeah, but it's.
35:08
But it doesn't really do. There's no end result.
35:09
There's no. Sole butter, solely butter is
35:11
who I was thinking of. Oh.
35:13
He was kind. Of lady you are.
35:14
Look, look, look silly Rams. How much did Rams have this
35:17
game? 8 and a.
35:20
Half and he had good but he also had the three and that's where
35:23
the three goals. Going against him so he got 6
35:25
four points. He's locating a good season.
35:27
He's at 8.4 for the year, 8.4 points for game with four
35:31
goalkeeper. That's pretty good, especially
35:32
like with no clean fees. Yeah, I think United you're
35:36
playing like obviously it's Fernandez, Granacho, Diallo and
35:40
you're just, and then maybe Onana and then and then I think
35:43
like, I think defensively it's interesting.
35:47
Some of the center backs, Mazra always interesting.
35:50
Yeah, I guess there's some players in here.
35:52
Yeah. You carry a little bit, but it
35:54
doesn't feel great. Do you feel good about any of
35:56
them Other than baby Bruno and even Diallo, you don't feel
35:59
great about every game. He could do this, but it's not.
36:02
If I was a main knife fan I would.
36:04
But you you guys don't think their players trajectories like
36:07
going upward. Yeah.
36:09
So I did not order them. No, no players that are getting
36:12
minutes like even defenders because you would think
36:14
eventually like it gets better because remember like a couple
36:16
of years ago, you. Were talking about Henry McGuire
36:18
and how he missed that fucking sell.
36:20
I don't fucking think so mate. We'll see.
36:24
I'm just saying now's if now's the time to invest in them.
36:27
If you have some spots, if you want to invest in a defender or
36:29
player, they have options. I was maybe thinking that, but
36:33
then after seeing the highlights from this game, it's like the
36:36
team that can freaking struggle so bad against one of the worst
36:39
teams to ever play in the Premier League, you know, it's
36:42
kind of rough. It's kind of rough.
36:44
All right, that's game. Let's go into waivers and let's
36:46
get out of here. The first one I have on here, I
36:48
think he's been out before, is Sven Botman from Newcastle
36:52
United. He's back.
36:53
He's back. He's he's just, he's a solid
36:57
player. He was like a top defender for
36:59
years. He obviously had a bad injury.
37:01
He's come back. He's he's been forced to have to
37:03
start a few games in a row because of their other injuries,
37:06
But he's looked good. He's averaging what, 11 points
37:09
per game since the return? That seems like an automatic
37:13
needs to be. That's an automatic.
37:15
I'm with you on that. I like spin ball.
37:16
I liked it when he first went the new cars.
37:18
He's a plus centre back go with his feet strong in the air.
37:22
Place for the hottest team? Yeah.
37:26
If you need a defender, you go. I'd be fucking on that.
37:28
How much fab you play? How much fab you play on that?
37:32
If I mean if you're something that has a lot of fab, literally
37:37
like 1520. Yeah, that's all I was thinking
37:40
too. Dead serious.
37:41
I think it's like north of that even.
37:43
I wouldn't even be mad if you're doing more.
37:44
I think that's the defender you can have the rest of the season.
37:46
Yeah, I agree. I agree.
37:48
But how much FAP do you have again Keith?
37:50
Like 7 how much? FAP.
37:52
Do you have to go That's. Good plus.
37:55
No, you don't. I do what?
37:58
What? All right, next player.
38:03
Next player 15 hours pretty good.
38:05
Let's play Maddie Cash. Oh did 30% of leagues solid
38:08
returns in his last two games. He's always has like a little
38:11
bit of a something around him. What's that?
38:13
Always. I'm not really like, I like
38:15
Mike. I love the way Mike Cash is like
38:17
the way he plays on that wing. Yeah, he seems, he goes up and
38:22
down once we get a ball in, but then there's always that game we
38:24
just get scores fucking pass down.
38:27
I will say that I feel like Villa for a while is struggling
38:30
a little, just like they're leaking a lot of goals and stuff
38:32
and it feels like they've started to stabilize.
38:35
Well, I know they have a few hard games coming up.
38:37
I think they play Arsenal next, but like Arsenal did me.
38:39
I don't think you you don't not start defenders against Arsenal
38:42
because like maybe they score a goal, You know what I mean?
38:44
They're they're they're struggling to score goals right
38:46
now. So that's why I think Nati cast
38:48
is actually an interesting one here, especially if Swen.
38:51
I think Swen Batman's the number one.
38:52
But yeah, Nati Castro defender I think is another good one with
38:55
you. Dexon here is a midfielder and
38:57
Batais Jensen from Brentford. This is my Brentford pick.
39:00
I think that even though he's like a true midfielder, he's not
39:03
one of the guys that's like classified as a midfielder, but
39:06
really plays, but like a forward.
39:07
I think Jensen, if you look at his previous seasons, he's
39:10
always been a pretty good contributor.
39:11
He's been like a great like like a great 4th man.
39:14
And he started off the season with an injury or I don't know
39:17
if he started off the season, but he had an injury for a big
39:19
chunk of the season so far. So like I just think that he's
39:24
starting to look good. He started to come into form and
39:27
I think that he's just a really solid contributor.
39:29
He's not, he's not like a league winner, but he's someone that
39:31
and in this time right now where midfielders are so scarce at
39:35
this time of year, he's like a great, he's a great pick up at
39:38
moment. Yeah, I agree.
39:41
I like Jansen. I figure like he's he can create
39:43
from there because he doesn't have to do too much.
39:45
But if he puts in a couple of balls down the line to wherever
39:49
he's putting it down to, not whether he went by or freaking
39:52
or Whistler, he's got an opportunity for a key pass every
39:55
time. Totally.
39:56
I think he had four against City and City kind of dominated that
39:58
game. So the fact that he had any, it
39:59
was pretty good. Yeah.
40:00
All right. Next game, Lucas Bergwall,
40:03
Tottenham next, next player. Interesting one.
40:06
I think it's a little bit risky, a little tricky with Tottenham
40:09
in general. You you mentioned it when we
40:10
were going through the games that like it's just really hard
40:12
to know who's going to start and what's going on there.
40:14
But I think it's more like it's more about upside.
40:17
I think he has the he has the potential to have a really
40:19
strong second-half of this season.
40:21
I I think, I think he's similar to Strand Larsson, like as as a
40:27
future, a future pick. I like him.
40:29
I think he's a young talent. Was he 20 years old?
40:32
He's a he's a kid a lot the way he carries the ball.
40:35
But you remember how Rogers was last season where he looked good
40:38
on the eye, but there was little to no like real end result.
40:41
End result, Yeah. But I think, yeah, he's a risky
40:44
pick because 1 rotation 2, you know, Are you sure if he's going
40:47
to be able to, he's still adapt into the Premier League.
40:50
But I still think it might if you're, if you're really
40:51
struggling for a midfielder that you want to get like maybe 7,
40:56
maybe eight points if he has a good game, you know what I mean?
40:59
And never know. What I would say for Lucas is,
41:04
especially since I have Madison, I want to handicap as many tops
41:07
in this field as I can. But the last two games he played
41:10
90 minutes against Arcel 12.75, he had four take away.
41:13
So he's getting on the defensive end as well.
41:15
And I know I see the point you made with Morgan Rogers.
41:18
The only difference is, you know Tottenham's going to get more
41:20
shots on and they're going to attack more.
41:22
So I think the opportunity is more for him and that's someone
41:25
up. I'm going to put a claim for him
41:27
for sure. So I think it out there as well.
41:31
How much fabric is it spend? Don't worry more than you have.
41:35
Love that. OK, next on here is another top
41:38
player, 2 top players on waivers.
41:39
I think it's probably the first time last season we have two.
41:42
Yeah, Antonio Kinski, the keeper just because keepers in certain
41:46
leagues, especially if if anyone's holding more than one
41:48
keeper, all of a sudden keepers get really, really scarce.
41:51
And and yeah, top keepers have historically kind of been OK.
41:56
Like it's kind of like ride the Lightning, but get a lot of
41:58
shots on target, a lot of chances to make saves.
42:01
Yeah, don't be wrong. I think I like this guy.
42:02
He's what he's 21 years old. We had a game because, you know,
42:06
Forstock wasn't working out and obviously Ficario is not going
42:09
to be around. So I think he's going to be a
42:10
keeper going forward. I think he does.
42:14
He's got he's great with his hands, good shot stopper, strong
42:17
in the air, which I love. The one thing I don't like, he's
42:20
not good with his feet. He looks fucking shaky.
42:23
So we'll see if that was maybe just nerves or that might be an
42:27
issue. I don't know if he's not good
42:29
with his feet, I think it might be he's actually decent, but he
42:31
was like a little too cocky. You think so?
42:33
Yeah, I think he's actually better than you think from what
42:36
we saw, because I think that was like his own like kind of
42:39
confidence showing. Got it.
42:41
But I don't know. OK, next one.
42:43
Everyone's going to hate this one.
42:44
Raheem Sterling, he didn't have a good game for Arsenal, but the
42:47
game, the previous game he came on and played was against Man
42:51
United. Who was it?
42:52
I guess that they that they lost, Yeah.
42:55
True. But I thought, oh, he's, I
42:58
thought, Oh yeah, that I came against United.
43:00
I thought he actually came. It looked pretty good.
43:01
And there's still something there, like there's still a good
43:03
player in there. And if, if he's going to start
43:07
games, I think there's going to be games where he's going to get
43:11
points. I really do.
43:12
Is he going to start games though?
43:13
I don't. Think he's going to start games?
43:16
Doesn't the young kid come back from injury in a couple of
43:18
weeks? We'll see.
43:20
I mean, who does? No, India I don't really trust.
43:22
That, and that's Kelly, was his skelly.
43:25
What's his name? Martin.
43:26
Skelly, I mean, he's playing left back.
43:27
Yeah, but they they play in play when the midfield.
43:30
Yeah, well, he's a midfielder. Yeah.
43:34
I'm just throwing it out there as as just like that doesn't
43:37
feel good. But I think I think he's going
43:38
to die before what's his name comes back, soccer comes back.
43:44
I think he's going to have like a yeah, at least one good game.
43:49
The other one on here, I can't believe I'm saying it.
43:52
Harry Maguire, I think Tico's starting to win the over.
43:55
I think partially because how bad they looked against
43:57
Southampton. Do you realize how important
43:59
Harry McGuire is for that defense, you know, and how how
44:02
much better they looked in the previous two games where McGuire
44:05
was in the team? He just has an illness.
44:07
So he should be back in next week.
44:08
Look, look, the points say one thing, but when he's on the
44:13
pitch, says I'll Lava. Hey, he's meat, meat, potatoes,
44:17
man. He just wants to just kick.
44:19
He's up here and had a kick and kick and.
44:21
What He's a he's a snap padder. That's what I feel like.
44:24
He just jumps in the air and head.
44:25
Is the fucking ball easy? And then he's.
44:27
Wacks it out. He's Dirisley.
44:29
He's he's Dirisley from Harry Potter.
44:33
Is this what everyone that I've seen?
44:34
That's what I think about. But look.
44:38
I mean numbers don't lie though if you look at.
44:40
No, numbers don't lie. I get it.
44:41
But I'm just saying on the eye it just looks like when you
44:44
watch him play, he's like let me have it, let me have it.
44:48
That's all he's fucking doing. Don't get wrong, it's going to
44:50
get you points, but it's it's not going to win you games.
44:53
He's seriously OK. But yeah, next one, Simon and
44:57
Digra didn't have the best game, but I think what I look at when
45:00
I like, what I like about him is that he's classified as a
45:02
midfielder and he plays in a forward position.
45:05
So even though this game wasn't the game that you know, did it
45:08
for him, if he's going to get starts, I think there's
45:11
something there for them and right, you know, maybe they can
45:14
build off this way and get some more momentum going.
45:17
So it's interesting one. Then I have some deep cut
45:20
waivers that are like transfer waivers, like speculative
45:23
waivers. So those are kind of the main
45:25
waivers and these kind of speculative 1 is Villa picked up
45:28
Maelyn from Dortmund. We've all seen him.
45:31
He played for he played for the Netherlands.
45:33
He probably seen him in an international tournament since
45:35
he really catches the eye. You know, I don't know how much
45:39
play time he's going to get for Villa.
45:41
I don't know. It sounds, it seems like he's
45:43
like kind of what? Like do you think he's going to
45:45
kind of be what he could be like what Bailey was last year maybe.
45:48
I don't know, He could be a really good player for them.
45:50
Could be like Jacob Ramsey, John McGann, like those guys are kind
45:52
of faded. So maybe Bailey would be a good
45:54
player. I'll definitely say Ramsey's
45:57
starting to fade out, but McGinn is still going to be a Ford.
45:59
But yeah, Malin could be McGann. And I think, I guess honestly, I
46:03
can see someone paying some fat for him.
46:05
I won't pay fat for him. Yeah, but that's something there
46:08
is interesting. I think he's classified as a
46:10
midfielder too, which is nice. Next one is Owoni, and the only
46:14
reason it's Owoni because obviously he's pretty well
46:17
behind Chris Wood at Forest. There's rumors he might be the
46:21
guy that goes to West Ham. Really.
46:25
Striker for West If West Ham is a striker, Owoni's obviously not
46:29
playing right now. I think that could be an
46:31
interesting look because you you know, I was a last year 2 years
46:33
hero. Won't he really lost you?
46:35
Good. Fabrizio Ramon, like it's
46:37
Fabrizio Romano, said. That shirt.
46:40
I don't think Fabrizio's on it yet, but I think it's it's,
46:43
there's some, there's some whispers in the wind.
46:45
So Fabrizio's not on it yet. I like like Keith has deep
46:49
sources that are better than Fabrizio.
46:51
Who's who's the other guy? Onstein.
46:53
Yeah, Ortiz's good, too. He's on the Athletic.
46:55
Yeah. OK.
46:56
The last name on the on the deep waivers is Ben Chawell.
46:59
Remember that guy? Is he that name?
47:02
Yeah, I remember that name. So he he's, I mean, he's
47:06
definitely not like hopefully he's going somewhere because
47:08
he's right now he's just sitting in the bomb squad at Chelsea.
47:10
Hasn't played all season. But if you remember, he's been a
47:13
great player when he's played. He's been a high scoring player
47:16
when he plays. So if he goes to another team,
47:18
there's another rumor that he might be reunite with Potter at
47:21

So I'll set up the bottom 3, which is a switch Southampton
48:05
and Leicester City. Before this Game Match, game
48:08
week, there was only one team that didn't have a player that
48:11
was averaging double points, double digit points.
48:14
Who was that team? Leicester.

48:32
Nope. Averton No, I I don't really
48:36
averaging. I'll give you guys a, I'll give
48:38
you guys a clue. Just a city.
48:40
One of their players was drafted in the first round.
48:44
Ask No, Ask not Aston Villa. OK, just tell us at this point
48:47
we're wasting. Time Villa I I just said it.
48:50
Wait. You said it's not Aston Villa,
48:51
it was Villa. And I said Aston Villa.
48:55
You said it's Aston Villa, so wait, what?
49:00
Wait, but like Ollie, Watkins is averaging double digits.
49:03
Nope, he's up. No way.
49:07
He's not averaging wild, he's averaging 9.89 and Morgan Rogers
49:11
just went over like 10.06. It's it's cool man.
49:14
Look, I got the I probably got the worst first round pick
49:17
besides I think Foden is how is Foden averaging 10 oxygen repair
49:21
many games. Yeah, I might have the I might
49:23
have the worst first round pick back with the best sixth round
49:26
pick. Good for you.
