• 0:04
  Speaker 2: of football, we discuss Harland's heavy sales, Manchester United prospects
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: under Amerim Plus there's an upturning fixtures for both Arsenal
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: and Chelsea.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Happy Thursday everyone.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: FPL is back because the Premier League is back, so
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: of course we've not been anywhere, but FPL POD is
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: back as well. Okally, something's alongside you and Sam Bonfield
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: as usual. George, you've got a big smile on your
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: face today. Is that I'm happy to see you. I'm
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: happy to do the show. It's great and lead football.
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: Is back, so as you know, I love international football
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: also of football. But it's still good those two days
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: before all the league starts again.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: Sam just looks nervous and I don't know why you've
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: got college. You've got a great team. You don't need
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: to look so apprehensive.
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: I always feel a bit worried when we come back
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: after an international break. There's always that moment of like
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: what are what are the managers going to say? And
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: are they going to absolutely ruin my plans for the
• 1:00
  Speaker 4: going to be wasted? That's the one that always worries
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: me is have a long journey. Who's picked up a
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: knock that we didn't know about exactly.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: But you have got a good team. We spoke about
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: it last week.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: Your world card has put you in a good place
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: going into this international break. I think, well, I listened
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: back to last week's pod. I'm not quite as down
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: as I well, I'm quite down right now, but I've
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: started to spin this into a positive. I present the
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: FPL pod. I need to be a bit more upbeat.
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: So this is going to be the time where I
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: turned my season around. So I hope you guys have
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: got some tips for me, because I need all the
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: tips I can get. Jewels international football. You you didn't
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: go to any games, did you.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Am I right?
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: No, not this time? No that You've.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: Been watching everything, haven't you? So what do we need
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: to know?
• 1:38
  Speaker 3: Loads of things, because loads of from any players have
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: done really well in the national breaks. And I've scored
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: a lot goes like earning haland some a bit less
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: like scoring have been Son scored. Some played two games
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: like Son like Hallan Bruno only one for example, only
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: one for Arsenal. I have a scored as well, and
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Mosala didn't go at all with Egypt, which I guess
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: if you own him and if you're a Liverpool fan
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: or on a slot, is good news because that's not
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: the case for everybody at Liverpool. And as we remember,
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: we talk about it every single intational break, especially for
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: the South American players, especially the one at Liverpool.
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: It's a long, quite heavy trip.
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: So Darwin Junia has played two games, one full, one
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: just over an hour. Luidas played two games full, two games,
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: by the way, nineteen minutes each for Columbia. Alexey McAllister
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: plays also played also two games, one full, one not
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: so full. So's libraries, that's okay. He was in England
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: with Hungary coach jo't two with England, so loads of
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Liverpool players out there doing really really well, but playing
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: a lot, and those South Americans would come back late.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: Chris Woods remember him, Yeah, that's Chris Wood.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: We can't forget Chris Wood.
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: We can't forget he's in my team, he's in your team. Well.
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: He was also in the team that played Samoa and
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: Vanuatu with New Zealand in international break and scored five
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: goals between the two games. So I think maybe I
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: would have scored against Vanua two. No fans to the
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: vanuarities or how you call them. But hey, Chris, we
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: is still in great form, I guess. And finally, if
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: you're Ghanna fan or if you own any Ghanaian players
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: like men.
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: For example, in your team, well the good news for you.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: The bad news for them is that they missed out
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: on qualification for the next Afghan which is at the
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: start of the year. So okay, we've got a bit
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: of time before we start talking about afchn but there
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: will be no Ghana Afcone at the start of twenty
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: twenty five, So no Semen you're going your way for
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: a month or Jordan, are you for example, to the
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: contrary of Egypt or Ivory, CoA, Senegal, Nigeria, Algeria, all
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: those kind of teams are going, so we would have
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: to talk about them when they start of the new year.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: That was impressing. It's the best one you've done.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: You fit so much information into such a short period
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: of time. George, did you for your whole talent planning
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: vision notebook?
• 3:46
  Speaker 5: With that pretty much up there?
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: Then I added Ghana a little bit at the top
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: and alf Con yes.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I can't just about see no, thank you
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: very much. That was very comprehensive and very good even
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: looking ahead to AFCON already. That is real talent planning
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: and vision jewels. I'm impressed, Sam. We spoke about it
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: last week. There's quite a few injuries, isn't there Who
• 4:05
  Speaker 2: are you going to be particularly listening out for and
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: who are you particularly concerned about ahead of the press
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: companies and return of the football. I mean, I think
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: that's the problem, isn't it is that you never really
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: know on an international break how one of these injuries
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: are genuinely injuries and how many of them are international injuries?
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Shall we say so?
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: I guess all eyes will be on the kind of
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: heavily owned players, so the Sackers, the Palmers, although he's
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: been pictured back in training so he looks like he's fine.
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: And Bobo he's another one that you know is heavily owned.
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: People will be waiting to see whether the flags lift.
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: So those guys, I guess are on the radar. I've
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: got decisions to make about whether I bring in soccer
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: or not, because obviously, as I said two before and
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: a wil carded, the decision was to go with Bruner
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: over him temporarily, so waiting to see what Arteta's got
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: to say. Probably nothing in soccer will certainly be fine.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: But it's just one of those, isn't it. Wait and
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: see I guess on the bigger names and don't panic
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: and see where we go after the presses.
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: I feel like we've been here before, haven't we a sucker?
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: So yeah, just whatever he said.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: Just bear in mind that a lot can change between
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: a press condens and a game, as we've learned in
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: the past. Okay, then let's look ahead. Oh before I
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: do look ahead, I keep forgetting say the pod Mini
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: League code Q seven YCO the letter zero. Do join
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: us if you aren't in there already. I did a
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: little check in last week. We'll do another check in
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: next week with how you guys are doing as well.
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: Talking of checking in, time to check in on the chips,
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: because as we know, in an international break, you guys
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: love to press a button just to keep yourselves busy.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: In particular, wild cards over one hundred and three thousand
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: of those are active, almost sixty thousand triple captains almost
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: forty thousand, three hits, and just over thirty thousand bench
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: boosts are active. Is that why I really expect it
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: to be out, Sam, I think so. I think I
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: expected slightly more wild cards than there have been. But
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: then I guess a lot of the really engaged managers
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: have already played them, so there's probably a more limited
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: pool of the of you know, the top managers that
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: still haven't yet hit the button. And I guess it
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: is quite difficult, isn't it over an international way? Because
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: there are a lot of flags on big players, so
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: maybe some people are waiting. I wouldn't be surprised to
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: that rise a little bit ahead of the deadline. But
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: I mean, in reality, the number of World Cards that
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: are played between now and the next World Card window
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: opening will probably get less and less every week because
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: people kind of have used it already. Was an intestinology
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: of I'm sure you know this one. When do you
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: have to use your first wild card?
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: By by againwig nineteen right halfway through the season?
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: Yes, correct, Weld. Yeah, just a reminder to everyone you
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: can any break. This morning, you looked so nervous when
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: I asked you that you didn't breathe.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: I knew you know, I wouldn't sit you up or.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: Just to remind a game Week nineteen is when you
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: need to use that first World card, and if you
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: are new to the game, then you should also know
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: that don't worry. You do get another World card on
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: the second half of the season. And if you are
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: counting down to getting a new World card, trust me,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: you're not the only one. I'm looking forward lady into
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: that chip coming. Okay, then, with the wild cards on
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: the brain, I think it's a good time to check
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: in with team formation.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: Joels.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: You've also got a few free transfers, which does enable
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: you to kind of maybe if you wanted to change
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: things around a bit. Firstly, what are your early thoughts?
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Have you done anything yet? Are you going to be
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: doing anything?
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: No? I mean yeah, I've thought long and hard about it,
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: and the problem I have is not my.
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: Season is not really good.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: As we mentioned on the show last week, there's dill
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: plenty of time to get better, obviously for all of us.
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: But the issue I have is that I'm really happy
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: with the team.
• 7:29
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of players I like, Okay, outside of
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: allegiances and players that, as you know, I have to
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: have even for my own OCD and friendships, But overall,
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: I'm quite happy because I think I have as for example,
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: who has been in good form and then a bit
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: like Arsenal actually not doing that great lately. But I
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: like the pictures coming up, and really I think the
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: you would easily you could easily sell CA I have
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: us right now, but I would be left with no
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: Arsenal attacker, which I don't want to for example, so
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: I'm really reluctant to let him go and replace him
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: with a Kuna or Chris Fuldo or whatever to also
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: get a bit of more money in the bank. I
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: like the idea of Bruno Fernandez. I think it was
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: great from Sam to bring him in, and I think
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: he's going to do really well in the Rubera moment.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: I think United as a whole I'm going to do
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: really well now. But I'm not really sure where I
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: could fit him. But I don't want to lose them.
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: I love them, Boomo, I think is great to have.
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: So this is why I am really I'm really happy
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: with the team, although I know there's other players I
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: would like in the team, but I'm not really sure
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: who I should let go to bring on those other players.
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: I think a lot of people are going to have
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: similar conundrums to Jules Sam aren't they because even my
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: team that obviously, as I've said, has been underperforming even
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: more than Jewels has been under performing, I still look
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: at it and I'm like, I'm going to struggle to
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: work out who to get rid of. It goes back
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: to what we said about last week in terms of
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: there's a lot of players performing, but no one's consistently performing,
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: so we are kind of having to jump around, and
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: it feels like there's been an element of obviously, we
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: will plan, we will have talent, we will have vision,
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: but there's been an element of luck this year is
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: to that you've been on the right players at the
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: right time, and we've seen, if you want to look
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: back to that man Cole Palmer, if you jump off
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: the people at the wrong time, it can really penalize
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: you absolutely.
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: And I think that is the issue that EPM nawers
• 9:13
  Speaker 4: have this year, is that we're being forced to make
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: difficult decisions. And I think that the pricing has a
• 9:18
  Speaker 4: lot to do with that. Because the game has been
• 9:19
  Speaker 4: priced so well this year and we can't all just
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: have everybody that we want. It's making us make these
• 9:25
  Speaker 4: really difficult decisions and you're having to choose between say
• 9:28
  Speaker 4: having Socca and Palma, or you're having to choose between
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: having Salah and Harlan, and all of these decisions are
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: having a knock on impacts. And if you get it
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: right and you're on the right players at the right
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: moment and you can switch around successfully, it can be
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: highly rewarding. But the problem is it can also go
• 9:43
  Speaker 4: the other way and you can end up selling the
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: wrong players at the wrong time, and if you do that,
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: that can be really painful in terms of your rank.
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: So I think it's difficult. I think in terms of
• 9:53
  Speaker 4: the formations and how you're setting up your team, it's
• 9:55
  Speaker 4: just making sure that you are being as flexible as
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: you can be with the peripheral players and moving those
• 10:01
  Speaker 4: guys around, and like Joe said, selling players like him
• 10:04
  Speaker 4: Bomo who have been in such good form it's really
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: difficult to do. But at some point that might be
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: where we end up looking if Bruno Fernandez does continue
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: to be a good asset and we still want to
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: be heavily invested in players like Kopalma and Soccer and
• 10:18
  Speaker 4: Salah across the middle, because then finding the space to
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: have him is going to be a challenge.
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: What is the best formation do you think we should
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: be playing Jews? Is it three four three because of
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: the form of the forwards and the budget forwards and
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: the fact that people I don't know if the fact
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: that people are moving away from Harlem plays into that
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: or not.
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: What do you think?
• 10:37
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: I thought about this one again preparing for the short
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: last night, and I just I think because of the
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: lack of clean sheets this season that we see defensively
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: and okay, it's not completely a crazy year in that sense.
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: We've had years quite similar years down the past. But
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: still you would expect maybe some defensive to be stronger
• 10:55
  Speaker 3: and some players defensively to do a bit better.
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: And the fire that FIGHTA is.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: The top goalkeeper in the game, considering how bad his
• 11:03
  Speaker 3: team has been doing, it's a bit weird compared to
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: a David Ryer, for example, or even the Liverpool goal
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: keeper who maybe is not right up there because of
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: Allison's injuries. But still so I find out quite interesting.
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: So I would go with the back three simply on
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: that basis. And you can have three really good defenders,
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: so maybe a bit more attacking like a Vargio, let's say,
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: even if City con for their lives, not considered goal
• 11:27
  Speaker 3: in the game. But yet Varrgio is still I think
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: a very good player to own. But I think I
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: go for back three with a really strong five in
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: midfield because again, as we've been saying, and which would
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: be like the case last week last season two, there's
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: a lot of strength in that midfield to have if
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: you can share that budget really really nicely, and then
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: that leaves you front two because if you want a
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: strong midfield five, you might not have Earling hall on
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: up front and then have two good strikers, but now
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: as heavily priced as Haighland, which would enable you to
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: have five really really good midfielders.
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: So I go three five two.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, what do you think, Sam?
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: It does feel like all of the value is in
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: the midfield, and particularly when it comes to the premiums
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: as well.
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: I think in terms of the premiums, for sure, the
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: midfield feels like the place to go, particularly as and
• 12:12
  Speaker 4: we've said this before, they get obviously the additional points
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: for the clean sheets and the goals and all of that.
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: So in terms of you know, if you have Harlan
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: and or Salah and they do exactly the same inner game,
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: Sala will always outscore Harlem because he will have the
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: additional benefit of those extra points. So from that perspective,
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: it's better to have your premiums in the midfield. I
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: think for me, I like the idea of having a
• 12:34
  Speaker 4: proper front eight at the moment because I think then
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: because the front three can be if Esaki is your
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: most expensive forward and then you have two that are
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: coming in around the six to six and a half
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: to five and a half brackets, so the likes of
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: a Kunya or and a jol Pedro maybe alongside, that's
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: a front three that you probably don't want to bench
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: very often. Same if you've got somebody like you know,
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: whists are in there.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Or whoever it might be.
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: So by having them alongside maybe somebody like Morgan Rodgers
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: in that fifth midfielder spot means that you can rotate
• 13:04
  Speaker 4: between playing three four three or three five two, and
• 13:07
  Speaker 4: I think having that flexibility is nice. The one thing
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: I will say is that I think the three at
• 13:11
  Speaker 4: the back potentially there will be weeks where you end
• 13:14
  Speaker 4: up benching a defender that you quite want to play
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: because they've got a nice fixture and because there's so
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: many good defenders in the four and a half bracket
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: this season, so you've got the likes of eight Norie
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: Lewis Hall is starting to come into the conversation for
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: a lot of managers Mazarahi at Manchester United, even like
• 13:30
  Speaker 4: players like Gusto at Chelsea. Like, if you want to
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: go for lots of players in that cheap bracket, then
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: you actually could. There could be some weeks where you
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: do want to play four at the back and you
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: might just have a lot of a lot of points
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: on the bench.
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: At some points you still say him play back three.
• 13:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I am basically no.
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: I think no, she raise it's a really valid point
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: I know which means. But I've been in that position
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: where I've spoken about Mikhlenko. Yeah, like he's had a
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: nice fixture, but I haven't want to play him. And
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: that is also because obviously Everson haves struggled to keep
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: clean sheets. They only keep clean I bench him. Yeah,
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: but it is I think that's what you kind of
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: almost have to play your midfielders, play your premiums and
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: then just know that every so often you probably aren't
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: going to play the right defenders.
• 14:10
  Speaker 4: Is tough. That's why on wild Card, I went for
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: set Vandenberg in my fifth defender slot because I know
• 14:16
  Speaker 4: that there's weeks where I'm basically always going to be
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: choosing between playing Lewis Hall and ein't Norrie, and some
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: weeks I'm going to end up having to bench one
• 14:23
  Speaker 4: of them in a game. I really don't want to
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: bench them in because I don't want to bench any
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: extras of the front eight that I have, So I'm
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: already going to have to bench one of them every week.
• 14:32
  Speaker 4: So I guess for me, I'm saying, I think playing
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: back three every week is the right thing to do,
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: but I think you just have to accept that some weeks,
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: because the back five can look really nice because there's
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: a lot of value in the defenders, you probably will
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: end up benching the wrong one and have points on
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: the bench.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: Okay, so it's a warning, but it's something that we
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: can't do anything about. So just ride out because I
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: think we're all going to be in the same boat.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: I was just checking out the transfers out since the
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: last deadline, and Alex, Ronold and Harland are way out
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: ahead with everyone else. We understand Alexandronold with the injury
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: and the fact that he's seven million, the most expensive
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: defender in the game.
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: Harland's thirty thousand.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: Do you understand it, Jewles, I know that you're saying
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: you will not sell him. Yeah, would anything change? Would
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: anything change that? Because thirty thousand people this week alone
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: a passing company, and of course it is a lot
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: of money. He's still fifteen point two.
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, no, no, no, I understand it completely because of
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: how much how expensive he is actually wild cost you
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: to bring him a new team. How what you can
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: do with that money if you go for a player,
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: even a really good striker like an issacleor Nicol Jackson
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: does have the price, can imagine what you can do
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: by reinvesting the extra money.
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: So I understand it completely. I think it's super risky.
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: I would not do it.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: I would not be able to sit through a weekend
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: of prom Edic football with not Elding Holland in my
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: team and just thinking, oh my god, what's going to happen?
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: Because if it's it's what we always said that the
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: day scores and you don't own him, then it's going
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: to hurt you massive, massive, So that's the only reason.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: But I really admire people who go without him, because
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: I think it's really brave to start with, and it
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: makes a lot of sense as well. So I think,
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: really I would like I would like to see even
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: his ownership going even lower, because then we'll have a
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: proper It's never I don't think he's good for the
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: game when somebody's.
• 16:17
  Speaker 5: Owned that much. To be fair, that's that's the only thing.
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just over sixty three percent. I'm at the moment.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: But surely you can't sell him a head of Spurs
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: at home, can you?
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: Sam?
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: Surely you?
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, I know you've already sold him, but I've
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: seen a few people saying they are going to caps in.
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: Him well Ken Spurs.
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah sure.
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: I mean the Spurs defense is we're just about as
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: allergic to clean.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: He had, isn't it.
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, although we do tend to travel up
• 16:43
  Speaker 4: there quite well. In fairness, I guess eyes on the
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: press conference to see whether Mickey vanderbenn is fit or not,
• 16:49
  Speaker 4: because that will obviously make a difference. Yeah, look, I
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: would I but the thing is, Cows, if you don't
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: have salah, then selling Harland at home to Spurs to
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: have salah against Southampton probably does make sense in a
• 17:07
  Speaker 4: lot of people's mine, particularly if that also gives you
• 17:09
  Speaker 4: Esak versus west Ham. So you've got to kind of
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: consider Jews is right. It's terrifying not having Harlem. When
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: he played against Brighton last week, I was like, this
• 17:19
  Speaker 4: is awful. But then I felt exactly the same every
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: week that I didn't have Salah. So this season, with
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: the way the pricing has gone, you are going to
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: have to feel uncomfortable watching some matches. It's just which
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: match you're going to feel uncomfortable watching. So for me,
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: with the form that Salah and Liverpool are in, I
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: feel a lot better having him in my team in
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: comparison to Harlem because Man City haven't been at their
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: best so far this season. So there's going to be
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: tough choices to make. Would I sell Harlan just to
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: sell Harlan this week?
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: No?
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: Would I sell Harlem because it allows me to get
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: Salah and Esak in my team this week?
• 17:58
  Speaker 5: Yes?
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: So I guess you have to. You have to decide
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: which way your priorities are. Yeah, it's a move I'm
• 18:06
  Speaker 4: considering making.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: It really is, really Yeah, I think so, because I
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: just think that Salah is in he's consistent, and we
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: are striving for consistent players and FPL jewels, and if
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: you can only have one of them right now, for me,
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: I'd rather have his points ticking over, knowing why, like
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: he'll now stop ticking over. And I think the likes
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: of Esac coming back into the conversation with Newcastle's fixtures,
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: it felt a lot harder to do to go down
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: to a six million striker, whereas an Esak feels a
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: little bit more premium. So makes me feel a little
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: bit more comfortable, I mean as comfortable as you can be,
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: not only Earling hond I I haven't decided that yet.
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: Also we've got to bear in mind that next week
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: after this fixture, when Liverpool have Southampton and you lives Southampton,
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: don't they Manchester City have Spurs, then it is Liverpool
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: place facing City. So I don't know what we do
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: about that one. To be honest, it's a really tricky one.
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: I'm thinking of doing it.
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: However, if I do do that transfer, it doesn't me
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: that Dominic Calvert Lewin survives another one. I know, I
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: love him so he loves first bench spot.
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: He just loves it.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: He's keeping that bench warm for me because I can't
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: even though he's got a home fixture, I can't play
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: him because he just doesn't score.
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: It's like your assistant manager.
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: He is always sitting next to you on the bench.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: He's been well, he's not doing a very good job.
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: He's doing as bad as I am. That's the thing
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: I would like if I bring in Salah. It helps
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: me have Salah and be a bit happier on that,
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: but it doesn't sort out some of the other headaches
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: that I have in the players around that, because realistically
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: Harland isn't a massive headache like I like having him,
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: and i'd probably be selling I can do bringing Salah
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: and Esak for Semeno and Harland.
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: What have you got t three transfers?
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, quite like those moves.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: But then, like I said, I've still got Calvert Lewin.
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: But I would just be playing the five in midfield,
• 19:50
  Speaker 2: which my five midfield would be Saka, Rogers, Salah and
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: Bermo Palmer and they've all got good fixtures.
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: What's wrong with that?
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly what's wrong with that is that I'm still
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: not totally comfortable. But I've just got to work out,
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: you know, like when you've just got to work out
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: which way the scales are tipping. How Yeah, I've got
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: I've got a draft ready to go like that, But
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: it's just whether I do it or I can wait
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: another week, have three transfers and sort out Dominic Caverton
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: at the same time. But then I'll be bringing in
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: Salar on the week he's got City and missing out
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: in Southampton pictures.
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: The sala against the top team doesn't really matter, so
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: maybe Vero scores anyway.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: So very true. I'm just very envious she was.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: I often find myself flicking back to look at your team, going,
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: how has he got both of them?
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: Remember he doesn't have Parma, I have Sokker, So yeah, exactly.
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: Also, I think it was in a way I kind
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: of I like us all having different teams. It makes
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: it a lot more interesting because we kind of reflect
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: all different FPR managers at the moment. I feel like,
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: in terms of Jews has got both of them. I've
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: just got Harland, You've just got Salah Sam. It's but
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not managing my team for the basis
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: of this problem.
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: But you know what, I think a lot of the
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: listeners as well of people who watch on YouTube will
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: have the same conundrum than we do on like there
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: will be in our position each on like some have
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: sold him already so still would have had him like
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: me trying to get both of them, and so I'm
• 21:04
  Speaker 3: like uk is trying to think, Okay, which one should
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: I keep.
• 21:07
  Speaker 5: And which one should I go for?
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: I think is the story for me of one of
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: the stories of this season in the game.
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it goes back to what we said before.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: It's made for a better game, hasn't it in terms
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: of a bit more interesting?
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Although yeah, if you fall on the wrong way of it,
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: like I feel like I have so far, it's it's
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: not so much fun.
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: Okay, let's talk about Manchester United. We've mentioned Bruno Fernandez
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: his name a few times on this podcast already. Of course,
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: Manchester United fans have got big hopes. Ruben amerim Heat
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: has taken over as Manchester United boss. His first game
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: will be away at Ipswich this weekend. Many might say
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: that's some nice fixture to start with. Then his first
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: home fixture is also not too bad either, Everton in
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: game week thirteen. Then the fixtures do go a little
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: bit more mixed Arsenal, Forest, Manchester City, Bournemouth and Wolves.
• 21:51
  Speaker 5: Jules.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Firstly, you watch a lot of European football. I think
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: a lot of us.
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: Since Amarim was announced to be taking over, a lot
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: of us played a lot more attention, particularly when they
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: played City in the Champions League as well.
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: But you have seen a lot more of him. What
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: can we expect.
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: I think he's a very exciting young coach. He will
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: turn forty at the start of the year, so really
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: really young, even in the experience that he had. Yes,
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: slightly slightly, don't don't hold me too much too much,
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: but yeah, very exciting and I think it's a long
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: time since we got halfway through the season, probably when
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: Jogun Club came to Liverpool in that October month, that
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: we got so much excitement from a new manager arriving
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: in the league. I'm not saying like you know in
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: the summer, but halfway through the season, like A'mrim does.
• 22:37
  Speaker 3: I think if you're a United fan, you should be
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: very excited and you should be co optimistic because he's super,
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: super good and super talented, so it would.
• 22:44
  Speaker 5: Take him time probably to turn things around.
• 22:46
  Speaker 3: And we said they haven't had a good start of
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: the season coach at all and they started into the
• 22:50
  Speaker 3: table and they have won as many games as they've
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: lost in the league. So this is not good, but
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: I think it can It will improve them massively collectively
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: and individually. Well, we've seen already from the few cliffs
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: we saw from him at training Carrington. It looks like
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: and this is just it looks like from what he's
• 23:06
  Speaker 3: on a training with the with a small squad because
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: a lot of players were aware on international duties, but
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: it looks like he could keep the three fourth three
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: formation that he had at Sporting that is very settled on.
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: We were not sure if he would go to something
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: more traditional because you won't have much time to work
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: on things. But it looks like a training they've been
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: working on the three four three, So a back three
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: that I think will make them more solid defensively already
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: looks sure back at training, Lenny your back at training
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: for example. Two Obviously on Nana in good, as we said,
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: the top goalkeeper in the game so far this season.
• 23:39
  Speaker 3: So I think that probably will make Nana better, that
• 23:42
  Speaker 3: we make United defensively better. And then's whoever is at midfield, four,
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: whoever the two wing backs could he change an actually
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: into a wing bag Antonio played wing back of training
• 23:52
  Speaker 3: for example. I don't think we will see Antonio against Ipswich,
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: but this is what the kind of things that Amorin
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: can do. It could change Rushford into a wing back
• 23:59
  Speaker 3: or galactually into a wing back if you feel it
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: that's the right move to do and to make. So
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: we will have to wait a little bit more un see,
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: but I think the three fourth three could be very
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: good and for us that could get the best out
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: of Hoiland, for example, from the best of Bruno in midfield,
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: the best out of Bugati, or the best defensively again
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: of Alessandro Martinez a your luc show, anything like that.
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: So I think there's a lot for us to keep
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: an eye on.
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: Sam. You're a Dallo and Bruno owner, Is that correct?
• 24:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: Doubled up? Yeah.
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: Do you think they're the main two players people should
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: be looking at? You was just spoken there? Of the
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: three four three, who's going to benefit From an FPL
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: point of view.
• 24:36
  Speaker 4: I'm really quite seriously watching Hoyland because I do think
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: that the way that the front line is right now
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: and the way that the midfield five is right now,
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: So I've got Bruno. I'm delighted to have him for
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: the next couple anyway, and obviously I've got the seventeen
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: points from last week already in the bag, so that's great.
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: But longer term there has to be compromises. So it's
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: if you're going to keep Salah and you want to
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: have Palmer and I think got Bruno, where's Sacker fitting
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: into all of this? And that's the difficulty. Whereas if
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: I find that Hoylan actually does become the asset that
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: we kind of all thought that he was going to
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: be when he signed for Man United, then that's great
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: because that means I can free up my midfielder slot,
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: save a little bit of money because obviously he's cheaper
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: than Bruno as well, and have him up top. Right now,
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: with the uncertainty around how they're going to set up,
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: I think Bruno and Dallo feel like really nice picks.
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: If we get two three game weeks down the line,
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: and actually there's a better defender option that's cheaper, then
• 25:33
  Speaker 4: I'll move from Dallow down and free up a little
• 25:35
  Speaker 4: bit of extra money that way, because it would enable
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: strengthening elsewhere. But I'm really happy to have those two
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: right now, and I think for the next couple they
• 25:42
  Speaker 4: look like really nice options.
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: Yeah, also with some nice stories. Also at some really
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: nice price points as well, aren't there. I'm just going
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: to name a couple of the prices. Dallo's five point two,
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: Rashford six point nine if he can find some form.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: Hoyland is six point nine as well. Bruno's only eight
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: point four, so compared to some of those other premium midfielders,
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: could enable you to get to a sala.
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: Sorry, Joe's what we're going to say.
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: No, I was just gonna say that was Holland was
• 26:04
  Speaker 3: aware with Denmark, not that I did great. Was also
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: away with the Netherlands, not.
• 26:09
  Speaker 5: That I did. I didn't play that. Merch didn't do
• 26:11
  Speaker 5: great either.
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: It's two goals so far this season from Marster United
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: for Hoyland, one for Zerxy. That was his first game
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: against Fulham back in August, and Rushford, probably because Holland
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: and Zerxi were away and not a training with Amorim
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: for his first few days, Rushford was the one playing
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: as a number nine in the three fourth three formation
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: that we explained that Amorim seems to be working on
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: already on the training ground, So I don't know if
• 26:35
  Speaker 3: that means that Rushford could play there on Sunday or
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: if Hoyland was the more traditional number nine obviously than
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: Rushford and probably more amor incompatible than Rushford's will probably
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: start there, but just for listeners to know that Rushford
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: was the one in that number nine position of training
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: this week, Yeah.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: Really interesting.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: That would be something we'll talk about a lot more,
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: I'm sure, particularly once we've seen them against Lipswich and
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: as the weeksgo one we'll understand a little bit more
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: about what they're going to look like. But like I said,
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: some really interesting and appealing price points, so would be
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: useful to us potentially if Manchester United finds some form okay,
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: alongside Manchester United, then there are a number of teams
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: on the fixture ticker who have a really nice run
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: of fixtures throughout the festive period. We've spoken about Wolves
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: and Bournemouth as well actually in recent weeks, but now
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: we've got teams and this is where it gets interesting
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: because some of the bigger teams Arsenal, Chelsea and also
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: Brighten a Newcastle moving their.
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: Way up the ticker as well.
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: Let's start with Arsenal jewels the top of the ticker
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: from game week twelve to nineteen. How are we feeling
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: about Arsenal. What sort of response are we expecting? Because
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: you said it yourself on this podcast, not exactly in
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: their best moment.
• 27:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, they had a tough times both in the league
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: and in Europe as well in the Champions League. At
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: some point they are too good not to turn things around,
• 27:48
  Speaker 3: I think, And yet there have been a few injuries,
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: like Calafori and Timber have been our Rice has been
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: a little bit, not one hundred percent is pretty that way.
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: With Benjium coming off really early in the second game,
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: I mean, the only look like he wanted to play
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: that game anyway in the first place, So I don't
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: know how serious the injuries, but he's still left after
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: thirty five minutes or so, so we will have to
• 28:08
  Speaker 3: if you own Torossa, if you wanted Tosa and your
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: team to keep an eye on that, the same we
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: mentioned him earlier.
• 28:14
  Speaker 5: I think that at some.
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: Point they're going to get much stronger defensively again like
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: they were at the start of the season. They're going
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: to get better going forward because of the guard is
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: also back and he obviously didn't travel with nowhere. He'd
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: been working hard at the training ground for the next
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: for the last ten days or so during the national break.
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: So I think with all the guy back and probably
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: very close to his full fitness and getting more game time,
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: I think they will get naturally better with one of
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: the best players back on the pitch after two and
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: a half months out.
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: So I expect Arsonal to.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: Be good and they need they need a winning streak,
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: let's be honest now, because they are already far behind
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: Liverpool and City, so they need to put four or
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: five six games in a row where they win and they.
• 28:55
  Speaker 5: Have the schedule.
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: They're not all easy obviously, but they've got they've got
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: a good schedule for it. Rest at home could be
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: tricky because for ust I've been that good this season,
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: but it's a game you expect them to win. And
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: then after that you go to west Ham, which is
• 29:07
  Speaker 3: the London Derby. But west Ham have been horrendous in
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: horrendous form so far too, so it's maybe the right
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: time really to invest or reinvest or add up.
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: To your already have Arsenal as sets.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Forest, west Ham, Manchester United, Fulham, Everton, Crystal Palace,
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: Ipswich and Brentford's Arsenal's run from twelve to nineteen. My
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: question here is twofold for you, Sam is someone that
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: doesn't have pocaiosaka. Do we all need an Arsenal attacker
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: and a lot of us have jumped off the Arsenal defense.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: Do we need an Arsenal defender?
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: Ohkaws, so I've got Raya, So I have got an
• 29:42
  Speaker 4: Arsenal defender. Ish because I've got the goalie. I am
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: wondering whether soon it might be time to go back
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: to the double up, because I do think that defensively
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: they'll get stronger. Like, all right, they've not kept a
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: clean sheets in the game week four, but they've just
• 29:56
  Speaker 4: been in a bad moment, I think, and with the
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: defend that they have, I just don't see that that
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: continues for a long time. So I'm expecting defensive security
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: to come back to us in that run of fixtures
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: that you've just mentioned. There's definitely a lot of clean
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: sheets available to them there. So my part of the
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: reason for holding Cavardiol during the wild card was that
• 30:16
  Speaker 4: it gives me the opportunity to move to either an
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: Arsenal defender if I want to, or one of the
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: Liverpool defenders if I want to. It just gave flexibility,
• 30:24
  Speaker 4: which felt like the right thing to do in terms
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: of soccer. It is a big it's a big conundrum
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: for me now. So I kept the money in the
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: bank to go from Bruno Fernandez to soccer. Obviously, now
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: with what's happened at Manchester United and with the way
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: that Bruno played last week, I don't want to do that.
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: And I also think the Bruno's fixture is much nicer
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: this week than Arsenal. It's like I do, I do
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: think that that Forest game is harder with the way
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: that Forests have been so far this season, They've been
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: really impressive, apart from in game week eleven where they
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: weren't so great, but the rest of the season they've
• 30:58
  Speaker 4: been good. So I'm not doing anything about Socca this week,
• 31:01
  Speaker 4: but longer term I will have to have a plan
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: for him because I don't think I'm going to feel
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: comfortable having any other Arsenal attacker other than Soccer. So
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: in my head, my next thought was that come game
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: week thirteen fourteen, probably fourteen, I might look to do
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: Mbomo over to soccer. I need to find a little
• 31:21
  Speaker 4: bit of extra money, but it's not a lot of
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: extra money. It's like half a mil, which isn't bad.
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: If I go from Gavadio to say somebody like Canaate,
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: that easily gives me the money to do that. Now,
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: that would mean not having Inbomo, but it would give
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: me a midfield five then of Palmer, Bruno, Soccer, Salah
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: and Rogers, which feels really quite exciting. So I think
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: for me, Socca feels like a player that you're going
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: to have to have at some point. I just might
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: wait an extra week to do it because or even
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: two weeks to do it, because in Bombo's fixtures are
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: really nice, and if Bruno does continue to be what
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: I think he might over the next few weeks, then
• 32:00
  Speaker 4: it might have to be in bombed with the sacrifice.
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: The alternative is his other guard as well, because we
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: saw already againstchel See the guards and played for for
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: like ten years. It comes back and he's the best
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: player on the page, gives an assist Martinelli, and he's
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: obviously less cheaper than Soaca, and at some point, because
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: he's been working hard to go back to full fitness,
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: he might have a little dip simply because how much
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: he wants to be back and how much how well
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: he wants to do all the time, et cetera. But
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: if you can't go to Socca because financially you just
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: can't make it all happen, I think, oh, the guard
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: with a super low ownership now, because obviously everybody saw
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: him when he got injured, might be a decent idea
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: to Yeah, I was.
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: Going to say, for me, it always feels like the
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: sister of the assist, do you know what I mean?
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: He's often the one that orchestraates always get.
• 32:45
  Speaker 5: The assays, No, that's true.
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: However, I do agree that he if you can't get
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: to a sacle or someone, then maybe he is a
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: good alternative, Joe, if you still at your arsenal defender,
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: I should have checked this before.
• 32:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, my brother from another mother.
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: So I can't ask him and get a proper answer
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: on whether you can go Gabrielle.
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: You can go for Gabrielle, who's a bit cheaper as
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: we've been saying, and a threat ontoid pieces more than William,
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: who's the blocker more than the goal scorer, So.
• 33:11
  Speaker 5: That would make a lot of sense. But obviously he's not.
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: As handsome as William sid Yep.
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: Not everyone picks their fl players on their their origins.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: But okay, onto Chelsea then, as we know, when we
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: think of.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: Chelsea on an FPL team, we think of Cole Palmer.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: He's the second most popular player in the entire game.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: He is of course also their most expensive player as well.
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: Do we all need Cole Parmer, Sam, I think so.
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: Especially in a wild card if you play your wild card,
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: get cold Palmer in.
• 33:41
  Speaker 4: I think you know, at the beginning of the season
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: we all said, I think we don't need him. I
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: think he's too expensive. I think the Chelsea fixtures are
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: a bit mixed. I don't know if we know.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: We were going to get me Sam, we were wrong?
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: Well, yeah, I think we were in part. I mean
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: he's been he has been the height of inconsistent in
• 33:59
  Speaker 4: the opening.
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's two games, two outstanding games really with the
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: three assistant the four Gords.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: Keep telling yourself to make yourself it's true.
• 34:07
  Speaker 4: But the one thing is, though, Jaws. Now, the fixtures
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: are so nice like that, this block of fixtures that
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: Chelsea have coming up are really really lovely. And I
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: think when I look at that Chelsea team in terms
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: of the rest of the attack. Obviously there's Niko Jackson
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: and you've got him instead, and that doesn't make sense
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: to have him in the forward line if you haven't
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: got Palmer. The others all feel a bit punty. Like
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: Netto has been in a great run of form over
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: recent weeks, but yeah, will that continue. If it does,
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: then he's a lovely cheap option into that Chelsea team,
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: but he might not have that consistency that we would
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: expect to get from Partma. Plus Palmers on penalties as well, right,
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: so you get that additional benefit. So I think right
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: now Palmer is one of the players that you should
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: be trying to find a rude to, but it's going
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: to be hard because of his price point.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: If you can't get to Palmer Jewels, is there any one,
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: I mean, you've tried it with Jackson, Yeah.
• 35:03
  Speaker 5: I think Nicole, Yeah, I agree.
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: The only thing I would say, and we've said that before,
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: is Palmer is so important for this team. And I
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: did think at the start of the season with Mariska,
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: because the team was better structured and they are better
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: team than they were last season, and the Pochettino where
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: it was pretty emerged. The game plan was give the
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: ball to Palmer and then less hope for the best.
• 35:23
  Speaker 3: Nice it's more structure, there's more patterns of play, but
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: still at the heart of everything is called Palmer. And
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: if he's not playing that great, as we saw against
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: Arsenal for example just before the break, then that it
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: also impacts the other players because then Nicol Jackson doesn't
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: have the same service, doesn't have the same the same activity,
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: he's not as good and pedronetto saved Chelsea with a
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: great goal on that day, the overall the attack didn't
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: click as well for Chelsea because Palmer was.
• 35:51
  Speaker 5: Not on a good game, not having a great match.
• 35:53
  Speaker 3: So it's that good that he influences so much everybody
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: else around that for my Nico to do well, I
• 35:59
  Speaker 3: almost wish Palma will do well because even if that
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: cost me points in the game and to my detriment,
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: it helps my Nicol Jackson in my team to do
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: well and score points. So this is the massive dilemma
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: from from the core Palmer point of view.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: What about the defense? Back to about clean sheets in
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: game week four and five, But since then it's been
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: a struggle it has been, but the fixtures that they
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: have coming up should see some more. I mean it's
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: Leicester Villa's half they scoring a lot of goals. Southampton
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: Spurs versus Chelsea is always ridiculous, and then after that Brentford, Everton, Fulham, Ipswich.
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: There should be some clean sheets in there. And I
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: think if you go, if you want to go cheap
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: and go for the goalkeeper, then I don't mind that.
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: I also quite like the Gusta pick. Actually, I mean
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: against Arsenal we had three goal attempts. One of them
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: was a big chance. He came third in expected goals
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: and under achievers chants for game week twelve, so it
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: was very unlucky not to get something. He's actually was
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: zero point six zero in that one, so he's getting
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: into the right positions. He's unlucky in that game against
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: Arsenal to return something. And in the last three weeks
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: amongst the defenders, he's top for shots taken, his third
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: for penalty area touches, in his joint six for big chances.
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: So I actually quite like the Gusto pick. And he
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: does actually rotate. He rotates really really nicely with Lewis
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: Hall at Newcastle as well. So if you want to
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: go for too cheap rotating in your third and fourth
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: slot so you can play them every week, then having
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: Gusta and Lewis.
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: Hall feels great. Yeah, Jews, anything to add you just
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: will agree.
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: Just for Gusta if people who haven't watched Chelsea too much.
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: He is coming in midfield a lot, not just as
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: an inverted fullback like we've seen with a lot of
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: other teams like City and Liverpool and Arsenal, but he
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: actually plays super super attacking inverted midfielder, which that is
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: more rare to see really, So he gets into this
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: positions on the edge of the box, sometimes as a
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: more traditional right back or sometimes he plays on the left,
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: but also very much from almost an attacking midfielder position,
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: which I think brings something very different to the game
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: than any other footback.
• 38:00
  Speaker 5: In the league this season.
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: And just for that, at his price, I think he
• 38:04
  Speaker 3: will be a very very smart addition to anybody's squad.
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: We're at that point in the podcast where I say
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: we have to rattle through. So we have to rattle through.
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: Let's try Brighton now they've got really nice fixtures as well.
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: Joe Pedro came off the bench for around twenty five
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: minutes in game week eleven.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: Is he back in contention to be in our team?
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: Sam?
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: And what about Danny Whilbeck.
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, at five and a half, Joe Pedro is looking
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: like exceptional value for money, isn't he? And if you
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: want to have I think for a lot of people
• 38:30
  Speaker 4: that have worldcarded recently, that kind of three six ish million,
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: six and a half ish seven is million forwards has
• 38:37
  Speaker 4: been the way that they've gone looking at it.
• 38:39
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: I think if I was wild carding this week, I'd
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: want to have Esax, So having Jil Pedro would stretch
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: that budget for ESAC above.
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: So Pedro's cheaper than Dominic Calvert Lewin too.
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: You just do that, Just call him Dominique Dominic Pedro
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: Dominic or something like that.
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: Because I think the other thing is with Jol Pedro
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: is that even if he doesn't start and just comes
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: off the bench twenty five minutes we've seen last week,
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: but also in seasons gone by, that he can come
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: off the bench and get points right and if he's
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: on the pitch and they win a penalty, he takes those.
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: So really nice cheap option if you've got the extra
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: point four point five for Wellback, you get a bit
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: more security with him at the moment in terms of
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: the starts. Like Danny Welback has been so impressive so
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: far this season. I really like Brighton. I like the fixtures.
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: I also quite like the idea of the goalkeeper as
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: well for the coming weeks because I'm not sure exactly
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: who you'd go for in the defense, but the fixtures
• 39:32
  Speaker 4: are good and there should be some clean sheets, so
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: if you're in the market for a new goalkeeper you
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: could go there.
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: Let's not talk goalkeepers. What about Newcastle?
• 39:39
  Speaker 5: Then?
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: Jules Esac and Hall are the two names I have
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: already been mentioned on this podcast.
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we said that he's the one. I'm presuming you
• 39:46
  Speaker 1: meaning Esak any other.
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: Interest just on his start quickly because he's called nine.
• 39:51
  Speaker 5: I'm going to say six games in a row.
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: According to each of his last six games Chelsea twice,
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: one in the leak up, one in the league than Arsenal,
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: than Forrest, then with Sweden against Slovakia and then they
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: played a Bijon on Monday night and he's scored a
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: goal they wont six. Neil your cares called four. By
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: the way, he's called one goal that was disallowed for enough.
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: This is If you haven't seen it, please go and
• 40:14
  Speaker 3: check it. It's the worst decision ever made by VA.
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: I don't know who was in I meant.
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: To be rattling through the story.
• 40:21
  Speaker 5: So he just wanted to say that.
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: I felt bad for Istach because that should have been
• 40:25
  Speaker 3: a goal and then that would be six and six
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: for him since comes in a row.
• 40:28
  Speaker 5: So he's in great form.
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: So I think Issach is even more than Lewis Hod
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: who I agree with time A is a great nab
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: to keep a mind or keep an eye on because
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: he's cheap and he starts and he's playing really really well.
• 40:39
  Speaker 5: Issac from me is the one, the one.
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: The only person that can translate rattle through. We haven't
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: got much time to Okay, I'm gonna have a runt
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: about VL.
• 40:47
  Speaker 5: That was a great point, randomful point.
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, great again. Then just a quick word on suspensions.
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: I've mentioned them a few times on the pod recently.
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: Is a few players out for this game week They
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: are want and not to Burne of Newcastle and Ryan Christie.
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: They got the fifth yellow cars of the season in
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: game week eleven Commander's out for three matches after his
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: game Week eleven red card Kudos is also out. Of course,
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: Benton Courr is suspended for seven matches. That means he
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: will return for the Boxing day fixtures. But a word
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: of warning, there's some really popular FPL picks who are
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: all walking suspension tightrope love a cliche, So Menuo, Jackson,
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: Martinez and eight Nori. In of course two of those
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: are in my team. They're all one booking away from
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: suspensions to Jews, be careful Jackson's and lows around your
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: boy eight Norri. Okay, then no Times discussed that though,
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: because it's time for I wish we had a sting,
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: like a little jingle for this I was going to sing,
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: but I'm not going to differ in the short of
• 41:41
  Speaker 2: the week. Last week's differentials obviously not last week's pod.
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: The last game week's differentials were a disaster. Let's not
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: talk about those, Sam, Who have you got this week?
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: I've got Yan out from Brentford this week, so four
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: point nine million, so nice and cheap. He's only owned
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: by zero point six percent of the game, so hopefully
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: Geors won't min because you know, cheap and lowly owned
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: should be nice and well, you say that, but he's
• 42:04
  Speaker 4: got returns in all of his last three matches, this
• 42:06
  Speaker 4: one goal and three assists in his last five matches,
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: and I think you know, if you look at him
• 42:10
  Speaker 4: since game week seven, he's had two shots on target
• 42:13
  Speaker 4: and three attempts from inside the penalty box, so nice
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: and attacking. He's also created six big chances in that time,
• 42:19
  Speaker 4: which is the most anyone else at Brentford. I mean,
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: it's also better than everyone else in the game apart
• 42:24
  Speaker 4: from Mattaeus Kinya, so good option I think going into
• 42:28
  Speaker 4: that Brentford team for the next couple of weeks. Brentford
• 42:31
  Speaker 4: have the best home form in the league so far
• 42:34
  Speaker 4: this season as well, five wins and under draw in
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: their six matches, and those six games have featured twenty
• 42:39
  Speaker 4: nine goals, which means their matches at home at averaging
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: four point eighty three goals per game. So I'm expecting
• 42:46
  Speaker 4: there to be a lot of goals given that they're
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: coming up against Palace, who are yet to keep a
• 42:49
  Speaker 4: clean sheet on the road this season. And yeah, no,
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: I think might be part of.
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: That Lovely Jewels that was just very succinct, just how
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: we like it. And I was always going to ran
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: for three months.
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: I've never do my big this week pedronetto. We mentioned
• 43:01
  Speaker 3: him a little bit when we talked about Chelsea because
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: he was obviously very good against us, and I think
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: he's been very good for weeks now, but just for
• 43:08
  Speaker 3: us in the game, but even even on the page
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: hasn't really transformed into points and goals and assists for him.
• 43:14
  Speaker 5: But his numbers are good.
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: So six point two million, one point one percent owns
• 43:19
  Speaker 3: so really low again, not as low as Jannel, but
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: not that far.
• 43:21
  Speaker 5: We said nine points again starts only.
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: He also returned today two game weeks before that, so
• 43:27
  Speaker 3: two returns in the last three game weeks for him
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: as well. He creates big chances. He's expected assist. The
• 43:33
  Speaker 3: ninety is quite interesting. It's just below zero point three,
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: so I think.
• 43:36
  Speaker 5: There's a player there.
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: He's still young, but I think especially when Palmer is good,
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: I think that gets the best of him. I would
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: rather him playing on the right hand side than on
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: the left, but on the right is non in Madueke,
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: so okay maybe, but I think he's been really good
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: and there's a point where he's going to get that
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: consistency and returns weekend and week ods.
• 43:53
  Speaker 5: So this would be this week.
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: Josephel quite proud of you. Normally you give us, you
• 43:56
  Speaker 2: give us your differential early in the pod. You can't wait,
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: and we've discussed Chelsea and managed not to give it
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: away in that part of the podcast. You're learning, you're
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: learning again. Then we've just about god time. As a
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: wayst went on transfers and Captain's.
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: Is there any point.
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: Asking no, no, no, and for for transfers too early.
• 44:16
  Speaker 5: Let me leave me alone with.
• 44:17
  Speaker 3: My transfers this week. I know that I've got a
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: long fly coming and I can do it then. And
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: then for captain because remember the time where it was
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: so easy that it was just Harlan all the time,
• 44:30
  Speaker 3: or there was a time where it was just Salah
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: all the time and we just could. Now we have
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: to think and really this week between haland at home
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: to Spurs, as we said, like Spurs conceding is a
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: given or salad to against Southampton.
• 44:43
  Speaker 5: This is so difficult.
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: I don't know I can do how I can just
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: cut the armburn in two and go half and half
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: basically brilliant.
• 44:50
  Speaker 1: That's really useful to our list.
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: I think there's some lovely options this week. So obviously
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: Salah at Southampton he's on my list. I also, if
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: I didn't have the fear of the cat in the
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: early kickoff, then I think Palmer against Leicester is nice.
• 45:04
  Speaker 4: I am also quite seriously thinking about Bruno versus Ipswich
• 45:08
  Speaker 4: as well, because I just like I like that kind
• 45:10
  Speaker 4: of new manager bounce thing and the way that he's
• 45:12
  Speaker 4: been playing. I am probably going to give it to
• 45:15
  Speaker 4: Salah for the first time this years, and I've been waiting.
• 45:18
  Speaker 4: I should have done it last week, shouldn't. I like,
• 45:20
  Speaker 4: I should have brought him in and just handed in
• 45:21
  Speaker 4: the arm band, and it feels like it feels like
• 45:23
  Speaker 4: the right thing to do to give it to him.
• 45:25
  Speaker 4: So it'll almost certainly be Salah this week.
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: Okay, so we've got a Salah captain. If I bring
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: in Salah, I will captain him. If not, though, I'm
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: going to keep it on Harland with Spurs because Sam,
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: You've said it yourself, Spurs don't keep too many clean.
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: It's going to win one, nill win if I keep Harland.
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: Congratulations on these three points. How my season's found out Okay,
• 45:45
  Speaker 2: then that's what we're going to end. I'm just sorry,
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: I've just lost my head again because I'm thinking about
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: whether this to do that transfer or not.
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: You know that it's going.
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: To be left till just before the deadline, as it
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: always is. Sam, don't mute your WhatsApp because I'll are
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: you on Sky this week. No, you can get You'll
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: be accessible to me perfect. You're not going to be

• 46:05
  Speaker 2: you going to share your team on your Instagram?
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: Jewels? Yeah?
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: I need to start doing it again to be fair.
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: So even even if the season is not as good
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: as I expected it, I would I would do it
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: this weekend.
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: What's your Instagram in case people want to see what
• 46:18

• 46:24
  Speaker 3: A confused with every every social maybe the other maybe
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: Julian Lawrence or something.
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: Okay, good luck trying to forgive Jewels on social. I
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: was trying to give you a shameless plug there, but
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: basically you've not helped yourself and your FBL family, aren't you?
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: And you're everywhere your team everywhere family. Yeah, I'm Kelly Summers,
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: but I don't share my team because it's so bad. Okay,
