S7 Ep39: FPL Pod: Building from the back on Wildcard · FPL Pod

• 0:01
  Speaker 1: International break means holidays for some but not completely for us.
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: On FPL pod, we try to avoid letting Jewels brag
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: about his score. We check in on the run in strategy,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: and we start to build a potential wildcard squad. Yes,
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: hello guys, another international break, But of course we haven't
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: gone anywhere in terms of the podcast, at least a
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: few of us on our holidays, but we're still back
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: with you. Kelly, someone's Don in the run and Sam
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: Bonfield and Sam, I'm going to let you speak first
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: before mister I did really well last week because I
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: remember the deadline speaks.
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I was really annoyed the first time he's remember
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: the deadline in fluminages and then absolutely smashes it.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, annoyingly.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: I think we helped him too much last week. I
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: was like, oh, that's sort of like play has to
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: get our wildcard. He seemed to get loads of them.
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: But yeah, it was actually a good week for me,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: Like I had a decent, decent week, a nice green arrow,
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: a Langa proving to be an absolute hero. So even
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: with the captaincy Blank, it was it was still good.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: And my defense actually for once doing a really nice job.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: The Doublasma defense coming in nicely and Timber picking up
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: three bonus points was very much an added bonus. Obviously,
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: Robinson also picking up a bonus point, which was good
• 1:13
  Speaker 2: as well. The Palma thing was just infuriating though, because
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: had I known he was injured, I definitely would have
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: sold him ahead of the deadline.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: Think so many long people would have, wouldn't they?
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I would have absolutely would have done Palmer
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: to Bruno, and I was quite close to doing that anyway.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: On Saturday morning when I got up, I was like, oh,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: maybe I should. I should just take the risk and
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: take the minus four and do it, But in the
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: end decided not to just because you know, I didn't.
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: I wasn't convinced that selling Palmer for a minus four
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: was exactly the right thing. But on reflection then when
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: we hear he's not actually even in the squad, I
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: was like, still opportunity missed. So at least the legend
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: that is set Vandenberg was back from his injury, come
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: on from a.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: One point cameo.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: So the only time I've ever been to light to
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: via one point cameo. But yeah, fifty eight points for
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: me A nice green arrow, so I'm happy.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: It was almost worse for me that I was so
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: well set because I had those two free transfers, and
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: at the very last minute I was so close. I
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: was texting the guy that produced the Fantasy show and
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: a couple of other friends, and I've promised myself I
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: won't keep doing minus fours. Just before the deadline, I
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: was so closer to it for Bruno, and I thought no,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: because I've promised myself I won't. But yeah, Palmer, I
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: got grieves and zero points off the bench. So there
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: are tales of I want to say, WHOA. But I
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: didn't have a disastrous game. I was vaguely happy with it,
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: and then I saw your scorge always take it away,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: thank you very much.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: I had to wait for my time so I can
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: bragner seventier eight points, which is by far the best
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: week I've had. Let's be honest, I haven't had a
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: good season, but pretty much everything that I tried work,
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: including trouble upon United players for this.
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: Game against Leicester.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: We said that Lester hadn't been playing really well, so
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: he was a good opportunity there. Bruno was given. As
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: we expland on last week's show. Then I wanted to
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: defender because I wanted to sell Van Dyke, so I
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: went for Jogo Dala, who for a long time in
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: that got a little bit frustrated until obviously the you know,
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: the assist, and then Ganacho was the third one. I
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: wasn't sure if I was go for Ganacho or another
• 3:08
  Speaker 4: attacking midfielder somewhere else really, and I just felt again
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: because he was less and because United were on decent
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: formed to be fair and slightly improving even that gannactual
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: could make sense too. I like him when he play
• 3:19
  Speaker 4: in that kind of insite information for position or in
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: that formation behind whoever the striker is.
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: And to be fair, he worked out well with Bruno
• 3:28
  Speaker 5: captain as well.
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: That got me thirty four points and then my first
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: transfer with Evan Wilson, which was not the best idea
• 3:33
  Speaker 4: I had, although to be fair, he should have scored
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: in the first half. He has one big chance, didn't
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: score so India and he's still very very good.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: You got back there because you're wild cutting, right, So
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: because you're wildcarding, you could go for three men United
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: and not necessarily be an issue moving forward, whereas most
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: people couldn't do that.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, although I'm rethinking about keeping the worldcut for thirty one,
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: which we would discussed later on the show, simply because
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: the team was good now even with the three United
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: players the player Forest, but I think you could easily
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: see a nill and draw between those two because Forrests
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: would defend well and United creating against top teams as
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: they've struggle really this season. So I'm still quite tempted
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: to keep certainly Bruno and Dala and Sales for that game.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I'm going to hold the world card
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: as well.
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: Like when you look at your team, actually it kind
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: of my team didn't look so bad either, to be honest, Sam,
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: I just want to mention one little thing because on
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: the pod last week, I didn't know what my transfer
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: was going to be. But when we found out more
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: about Trent, I was like, I'm going to sell him,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: and I was going to bring in Williams as well,
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: because I wanted.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: To really downgrade.
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: But then all of the articles say, you know what's
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: coming head in the hands for your listeners, this is
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: a podcast rather than on YouTube. I then thought, well, actually,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Milenkovitch's goal threat is so good and all of the
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: stats have some really good articles on the Premier League
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: and things like that, So I'm just going to spend
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: that little bit more on go from Milenkovitch and I
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: thought you'd done the same. We didn't speak, but then
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: I checked not we didn't speak because it was a problem.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: I'm just be I didn't text you about it. I
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: don't want to look like I've copied that because I
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: genuinely haven't, and I was going to go Williams. Then
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: I saw you'd gone Williams. I was jealous at first.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: I wish i'd maybe I should have done that, and
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: then you didn't, and then Milankovitch got a Golden assist, So.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: How are you feeling about that? Basically, I was really
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: hoping you weren't going to mention that.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: You got you had a l anger, so that was okay,
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: I guess yeah.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: I was just I was hoping that we just talked
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: about our anger and SKA over everything else that happened
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: at Forest.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: No, you came on this podcast and said you were
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: doing it and didn't know, and when Jewels does that,
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: we have him.
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: So oh, you're right.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: So I was really torn on all three of the
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: Forest Defenders. I think I said that last week, like
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: whether to spend a bit more and go for Ana,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: whether to go middle grand and go for Milenkovitch, whether
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: to go with the cheapest option and go for Williams. So,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: so honestly what happened on Friday, I was like, right,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: I'm going to do some maths, and because I know
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: I want to reinvest in Palace four game week thirty,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: so I was like, I need to make sure that
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: I've got enough money that if Mateta is back, I
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: can afford him, but also I can take him mind
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: as well and get me nose as well.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: So I needed I wanted to make.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Sure that if I wanted both of those two plays,
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: I could have them both for this week, and with Milenkovitch,
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: I was point one short. So I decided to go
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: for Williams because, as we said with the stats last week,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: the underlying numbers for Williams and his goal threat had
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: been far better than melnkvitch Is over the course of
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: the season. So I was like, well, it doesn't feel
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: like a massive compromise to spend the money on Williams
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: instead of Milenkovitch. Until I was until I was listening
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: to that Forest game and then Milenkovitch gets a goal
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: and an assists and I was like, this is going
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: to end.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: At that point, they were still keeping the clean sheet.
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: I was like, this is going to be like an
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: eighteen point haul for him. And I was sort of
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: okay with it because Williams was getting a clean sheet
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: and obviously I had a linger.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: But when the clean sheet, when I had an absolute rage.
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: I won't, I won't lie.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: I was not happy at Oil on Saturday afternoon.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: But yeah, that's why it was. It was simply a
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: budget thing.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: And we also got the captaincy wrong, didn't we But
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: let's go over that. But also we knew that Bruno
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: was the right captain, but we didn't have him. So,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: like we said last week, if you've got Bruno, he's.
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: The captain to have.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: And had he been in my team, I had a
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: captain tim to be honest, because I didn't have Bruno,
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: the only person I really looked at was Chris Wood.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: I never really thought about going anywhere else. As it happens,
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: there are a lot of other places I could have
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: gone to my team. I would have done Bedster, But yeah,
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: I think Bruno was the obvious captain, So well done
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: if you brought him.
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: In and had him as captain.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Okay, just to recap of our scores for the week,
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: then Jewels got seventy eight points. I got fifty points
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: and Jewel jews Ian got sixty seven, but to a
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: minus eight. Soho ended on fifty nine. Sam, you've got
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: fifty eight. Sam is still out in the lead on
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: one nine one one. I'm on one eight six two.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Jewels is on one eight twenty. There's forty two points
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: between myself and Jewels. Now, I'm confidently you've got your
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: assistant manager over me, though, Jewels.
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: Haven't you.
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I still have to play.
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I cannot let you beat me.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go.
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: I'm getting slightly twitchy, and now I'm being a bit
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: realistic looking at my shoulder. I need you to get
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: a few more deadlines, please. I can't be beaten by
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: someone that missus deadlines as often as you do.
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: Okay, I have one twice this season three weeks. Life was.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Then that's how we're doing in our mini league. That
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: the FBI of Mini League Max Little Proud is back
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: at the top. It's great because it's constantly changing between
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: him and Charlie. The fact that his top is quite
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: impressive because he did also captain Chris Wooden. Of course,
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: as we just discussed, he was a blank. He had
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Bruno as his vice captain, which must be incredibly painful.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: But also I'm sorry, if you're going to have Bruno
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: not captain him last week against Leicester, then you kind
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: of deserve it.
• 8:33
  Speaker 3: Max. Who am I getting cocky with the person? That's
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: He also got returns for Bowen and Robinson. Oh, I'm
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Gabrielle and Wissa as well. Charlie has dropped a second.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: You had a bit of a tough week, didn't He
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: forty three points, took a minus four, which means that
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Max is now four points above him. Andrea, Casper, Henry
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: and Michael all rose massively in the league this week
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: as they captain Bruno just like Jules. They went up
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: to third, fourth and fifth and sixth even in the
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: league efectively. A reminder if you still haven't joined it,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: what you do? And I read this code every week.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: I know it in my sleep.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: Q seven y C zero. If you do, you want
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: to join in with the fun, okay, then we've already
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: mentioned the w bottom the wild card. Bottom Samer said
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: she's not playing it as originally planned. A few weeks ago,
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: she was going to be playing in thirty she's decided
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: to play it. I thinking in thirty one or maybe after.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: We'll ask her in a second. Jewles said he's going
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: to play in thirty one, so am I. The reason
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: for me is very simple. My team looks all right.
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: I don't have massive changes. I've still got a few
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: decisions to make. Jules, you're in a similar boat to me.
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: You like the look at your team. You took a
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: minus four. I'm guessing you just want to ride it
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: out another week.
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: Yeah, exactly.
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: And then I guess the closer you are to thirty two,
• 9:38
  Speaker 4: which is the first double game week, they will be
• 9:40
  Speaker 4: back to back double game weeks thirty two and thirty three.
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: Then the closser you can use the wild card, the
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: better it is because you know exactly the players you
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: would target. If you do in thirty there's a risk
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: that it can get injured in thirty before thirty one,
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: et cetera.
• 9:52
  Speaker 5: So if you can have your team as it is for.
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: Game week thirty and then wait until thirty one to play,
• 9:58
  Speaker 4: your wild card and then be read or even for
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: thirty two if you don't want to play your assetant
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: manager chip for me, because I would play the assetant
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: manager chip in thirty two and thirty three and thirty
• 10:07
  Speaker 4: four obviously to make the best use of the double
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: game weeks, then it makes sense to wait a little
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: bit and play the play the wild card for thirty
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: one and then be ready after that with my assistant manager.
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it makes total sense when you put it like that, Jeels.
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: But we know that international breaks are incredibly popular times
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: to play World cards. I often like playing them over
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: this period you have that little bit longer. But Sam,
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: it's also quite strange, isn't it, because we are used
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: to coming back from an international break and having Premier
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: League actually straight away. But we've also got the FA
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: Cup that weekend too. In the first round of Premier
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: League is the week after if you are what god,
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: and you've got even longer.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because it's a MIDWEK round of fixtures, right, so
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: be a Tuesday deadline for game week thirty. That's the
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: only thing that puts me off the wildcard in thirty
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: one is that Tuesday deadline. And then you've got to
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: get ready for the Saturday, so it's just going to
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: be a short turn around with that worldcard, less time
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: to think about it, Whereas obviously if you do it now,
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: you've got loads of time to think about it and
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: you can still react to the FA Cup.
• 10:57
  Speaker 3: So I don't know why I still was quite too
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: on it.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: I think the fact that you get you're probably going
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: to get some information about when those reschedule fictions are
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: going to go.
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: I was kind of intrigued by what.
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: Joe said though, because obviously means you're not planning to
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: free hitting game week thirty four for the blank if
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: you're going to assistant manager in thirty two, thirty three,
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: and thirty four, so your wild card is going to
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: have to be set up to cover that blank game
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: week with players that you have in Yeah.
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: Because the thing is we don't know, yeah, who's going
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: to blank either, So depending on how it turns out
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: to be, you might be okay with your team, and
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: you can build your world Guard team knowing who's going
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: to blank and who's not going to blank. So that
• 11:34
  Speaker 4: should be easier than if it was maybe made in
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: a different way. That's why I was a bit more optimistic.
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: I just think, I mean, yeah, I just think I
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: would rather wait until as late as possible to play
• 11:47
  Speaker 4: the wild card for the two double game week to
• 11:49
  Speaker 4: make us as to use them as to try to
• 11:52
  Speaker 4: benefit as much as possible from this two double game
• 11:54
  Speaker 4: weeks back to back, and again we won't know until
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: until the FA Cup has been being played who's going
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: to double and who's not going to double in less
• 12:02
  Speaker 4: end with the blanks, So that was the only reason,
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: because originally my plan was to do that. But I
• 12:08
  Speaker 4: can also keep the free for example, for game week
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: thirty six, which would be another double game week, potentially
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: quite a big one, and then if you have your
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: free hit left for that, you can play it then
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: and be very effective with it.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: I guess it's also quite useful that actually, by the
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: game week thirty deadline, we will have seen the FA Cup,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: so flip what I said before about it being even longer,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: so we have Premier League action. By the time we
• 12:29
  Speaker 1: do next have a deadline, we will actually know a
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: lot more about about that blank sandwich, which actually helps.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: So I almost wonder if maybe after that FA Cup
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: weekend we could see maybe a few wildcards active but
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: people change their strategy after that weekend before the next deadline.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: Would not surprise me if we see a sudden spike
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: in wild Cards being played on Sunday evening, like once
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: we know exactly who's blanking in the FA Cup and
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: then obviously who's also going to have a double a
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: little bit later on, then it wouldn't surprise me to
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: see a massive spike in them. I think that it
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: goes back to what you and Joy said before, though,
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: is that most people will open the app or the
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: website happening upon how you do it, and we'll look
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: at their team for this week and go, oh, actually,
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: that looks quite nice, because the majority of people that
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: we targeted in Game week twenty nine actually still have
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: a nice fixture in Game week thirty. So it will
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: give us the opportunity, I think, to kind of just
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: take a bit of a breath. And obviously the longer
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: you leave it with the World Card, the more information
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: that you have. And it's not just information about the
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: FA Cup. It's information about players like Palma, even players
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: like Socca, who hasn't been on our radar for such
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: a long time, but at some point we're expecting him
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: to come back. So the longer you can wait, you'll
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: get more information not just on the FA Cup and
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: who's doubling, and hopefully before game week thirty one when
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: they're doubling, because that will also make a difference as well.
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: If those fixtures are going into game week thirty three,
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: if they're going into thirty two, if they're going into
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: thirty six, all of that might change the way that
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: you use the wildcard because obviously the wildcard you're setting
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: up for a few weeks, but you're not setting up
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: to never change it again. So you would want to
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: make sure that if those doubles come in earlier than
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: we were maybe planning, that you've been able to target
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: them and then change them up for the weeks that follow.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I think it's useful. The FA Cup being
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: there is really handy. You're just going to get more
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: information again if you wait for thirty one, but I
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: think you could absolutely play it Sunday night, and obviously,
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: of course if there's any international breake injuries, then you
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: can react to those as well.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: I guess the key, particularly for Usuals in terms of
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: using the Assistant Manager chip is you've got to remember
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: that you've got three weeks to the Assistant Manager chip
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: plus your wild Card chip, plus your bench boost plus
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: your free hits.
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: So you've got six game weeks where you're going to
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: have a chip.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: In play, and you've got to make sure that you
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: use your Assistant Manager at the right point that it
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: doesn't cover a three week period the way you'd maybe
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: want to use your free hit for example, as Tam
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: said before.
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you're right, I mean for me and for all
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: I guess all of the listeners still have that Assistant
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: Manager chip. Really, the two double game weeks in thirty
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: to thirty three makes so much sense, right.
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: Because you should target that.
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: Either you play it from thirty one, so thirty one,
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: thirty two, thirty three, and then you can have your
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: freight for example for the blank in thirty four, and
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: then you play your wild card in my case in
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: thirty and that's that's very possible too, or you just
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: wait a little bit for the World card, play your
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: Assistant Manager chip thirty two, three and then four I
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: know it's a blank, but still and then and then
• 15:22
  Speaker 4: use then bench boost and free hit for later the
• 15:26
  Speaker 4: double game week for example, in thirty six, you can
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: keep the free hit for thirty eight, like some usually says,
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: to have a lot of fun on the last game
• 15:33
  Speaker 4: of the last day of the season, game week of
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: the season.
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: So there's a lot of things you can do.
• 15:37
  Speaker 4: So it's how you feel about assistant manager chip really,
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: because this is the key wherever you use it. Now,
• 15:42
  Speaker 4: thirty two thirty three, I think it's a given. So
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: it's either thirty one or thirty four to go with
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: thirty two and thirty three, and then you can adjust
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: for the other chip that you have left really and
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: for the world card.
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: So yeah, I think it's I'm not sure if there's
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: one much better than the other.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: To be fair, jus, you and I actually just rerayer
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: as I listed your ships. But you've got triple captain
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: like me as well, haven't you because us two doing
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: Sam doesn't or did you triple captain in the end?
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: I've forgotten. No, I use mine already sal in the
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: last double didn't he?
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: Forgot?
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, so I've got triple captain over you, and
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: you've got assistant manager.
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: Over me SR.
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: I really I am looking over my shoulder now, Okay,
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: we'll move on from this because it's really hard to
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: kind of talk too much about chip strategy because everyone's
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: teams are so different, and now we've got another chip
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: in the game in the assistant manager as well. Everyone's
• 16:29
  Speaker 1: scenario is so different. But just do what's best for
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: your team, and just make sure you remember the assistant
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: manager goes across three game weeks and make the most
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: of those doubles. Basically look at the doubles, work out
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: how your team looks in those, and work out which
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: is the best chip to use in each. Don't kind
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: of get caught short when they come. And a reminder
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: that the FA Cup is before the next round of
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Premier League action. And don't worry too much if you
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: decide on the Sunday night to actually play wildcard or
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: another chip.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: It's never too late again.
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: And talking of wild cards over the next couple of pods,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: because we've got a couple of pods. In fact, Sam,
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: have we got three pods before the next headline?
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: This one one on Thursday next week, and then one
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: the following Monday. Will be constantly busy, you know they
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: say sometimes there's too much.
• 17:13
  Speaker 5: I'll diary.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: This week, Jels, It's Thursday next week and then it's
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: Mondays actually right if you're not watching on YouTube.
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So, as I.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: Said, sometimes you can have too much of a good thing,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: and I'm wondering if we're teaching on that, but it
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: does give us plenty of opportunities to really help you
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: with those wild cards. So we're going to focus on
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: today's pod on the defensive position, so goalkeepers and defenders
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: and who we think are currently the best keepers in
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: the game. There'll be some similarities I imagine in our
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: free hit chat that we had in the last pod,
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: but we'll go with it all the same. It's quite
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: nice to take stock at this point of the season
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: as well. So best goalkeepers in the game. There are
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: five as it stands to have scored over one hundred
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: points and for me, Jeels you've owned him, Cells has
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: been the best goalkeeper in the game.
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: The points say it. Everything says it.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: Nothin Forest has been so good defensively if you've owned him,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: it's been a master strokers you have, Yeah, I think so.
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: I mean league and legend as you as you know.
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: So I'm always cheering for the former either the French
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: players or the former French.
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: TOOPLU players obviously, but it's great as well to.
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: See him at this kind of late stage of his
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: career really, because that's why it is being so efficient
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: that the best defense in the in the league, they've
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: kept the most clean sheet for example, and it's been
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: very good. It's not always perfect, as we saw against
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: Ipswich which cost us all a clean sheet meet with
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: him and you girls with with Williams and Milenkovic, but
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: still there, they've been very solid and I expect them
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: as close at the end of the year arrives and
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: they have to grind out some results to make sure
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: that they qualify for the Champions League, which right now,
• 18:44
  Speaker 4: to be honest for them, looks quite likely to get.
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: Those even a nil Neil draw.
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: I think they'll be happy if they can pick what
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: there's eight games left or something like eight draws. I
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: think they would take that, and I'm sure they will
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: still make the Champions League for example. So you would expect,
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: I think again, for us to be very strong defense
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: stively first and foremost, before even thinking to attack or
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: play in transition, play on the counter, whatever way is.
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: I think they will. They will want to be very.
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: Solid defensively first and foremost, so there's more clinches to come,
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: even if their fixture schedules is quite tough.
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: To be fair, it's not.
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: I don't think it's the easiest, although they are quite
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: higher up in the the thing, the ticker, whatever it's called.
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: Fore I still think there's a few tricky there United Villa.
• 19:25
  Speaker 5: You know, that's not easy.
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: Spurs you never know. So there's there's games that won't
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: be easy for them, but I would expect many more
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: clan chis did.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: One thing's also bear in mind, though, is that not
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: sk and Forest are still in the FA Cup. They
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: play Brighton on Saturday, the twenty ninth of March, so
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: they could still blank in thirty four. So George, it's
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: okay for you, isn't it, Because you've got Crystal. You've
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: got him and Henderson, haven't you.
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, So potentially.
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: I don't worry to play your other keeper. But you've
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: got to. You've got to bear that in mind, haven't you.
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: If you're not really that's why you.
• 19:55
  Speaker 4: Play the wild cards, you know, in thirty or thirty first.
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: So thirty one, as we said, with a an idea
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: already of what you're going to do for thirty four
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: it's all about planning, vision and talent obviously, as it's
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: going to take you to say.
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: That after sales it's Raya, than Pickford, Henderson, Drew signs
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: and then own Ona Sam tell us where you're currently
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: out and best goalkeepers for the rest of the season.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: Do we really want my opinion on the best goalkeepers
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: because else to get lead to come back and give
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: kid goalkeepers. Yeah, so I think Cells is up there,
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: and I think this is what you said before calls
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: is an exact example. Because the other thing is is
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: that if you've still got your bench boost left and
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: you're going to play that between now and the end
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: of the season, if you are wildcarding, you will need
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: to make sure that you do have a second playing goalkeeper.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: So you want to either look for a pair of
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: rotating ones so that you can then use them, but
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: then you want them ideally to both have a nice
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: fixture in the week that you're planning to use your
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: bench boost, or you want to pick one goalkeeper like
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: Cells and then have a really cheap second option who's
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: also got a nice fixture in that blank so or
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: in that double rather so like for me, I'm pondering
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: on playing my benchbiece shipping game week thirty two, so
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: although it's not a huge double game week, I think
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: having wild carded in thirty one that would put me
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: in a really nice position where I could really target
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: in on the teams that I've got that double ie
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: Crystal Palace and Newcastle, and then after that I can
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: afford to strips some money out of the bench and
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: reinvest it back into the starting eleven for the rest
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: of the season, which is something that I always like
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: to do. And obviously taking money out of the second
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: goalkeeper is ideal, so when I have a look at
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: like the goalkeeper, that might be an option there. Obviously
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: Sales has as Everton that week, so that's a nice fixture,
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: but then you know, when you look at other options,
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: like Ariola is the probably the obvious cheap one, but
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: then he faces Liverpool that week, so how far do
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: we think that he's going to get points? Whereas you know,
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: maybe I could go for I don't know, like Brighton
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: have Leicester so and would be quite a nice cheap
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: option to go alongside Sales that week. But then I
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: also quite fancy little cheeky punt on Nick Pope because
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: Nick Pope obviously would have a double that week. The
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: fixtures are nice between now and the end of the season.
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: Nucoso are top of the FDR between now and the
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: end ow Obviously that is slightly skewed by the fact
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: that they've got a double game week, but only so
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: slightly because you see pallatt a much much further down
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: on the ticker and so and I could then play
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: that maybe even in a later game week like in
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: thirty six, like you all says that we're expecting to
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: be another double or even in thirty three. So Pope
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: is up there definitely in the conversation between now and
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: the end of the season as they look to really
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: focus in on making sure that they hit Champions League
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: football for the new season of finish as hyper as
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: possible in the league.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: I owned Jordan Pickford and he's owned by almost nineteen
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: percent of the game. But if I check out ever
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: since fixtures going forward, we know how good Everton are
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: defensively so much as their success has been built on that.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: And he gets save points as well, doesn't he? But yeah,
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: Fulham are the only team that have a harder running
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: than Everton. Is it time to get rich?
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: Jews. You think of him on a World card it's.
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: I think it's just difficult. Really when you look at
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: a Liverpool, Arsenal, Forest City Chelsea before you play Ipswich,
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: this is like the next five are so difficult. Then, yeah,
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: that doesn't mean they can't get wins and can't get
• 23:17
  Speaker 4: games some of those games that they don't consider at all,
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: and pick forgets a good nine points or ten points
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: holds things like that.
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: Of course, everything is always possible, but you look at
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: this and with all.
• 23:28
  Speaker 4: The other options that you can have, and you can
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: go from Pickford to Pope or to ride out to
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: Sales or to you know, whatever you can afford. Really,
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: I think there is a better option. If you can't
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: really move away from Pickford because you don't have the budget,
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: you have other positions that you want to change. I
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: think keep him because it will still be not a
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: bad call to be fair, because you don't Pickford, and
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: because you say a turn and they can be very
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: good defensively, but those those fixtures are still scary.
• 23:55
  Speaker 3: Who then, are the best goalkeepers? Would you say? If
• 23:58
  Speaker 3: you're World carding now, Sam, you guys, I.
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: Think I'd still have Areola as the backup probably or
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: maybe Vibrogrin if you've got the extra money to spend there.
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: But I think you'd be cheating for me.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: I'll be choosing between Pope and Sales on wild card,
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: and part of that, I think I'm leaning more towards
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: Pope simply because with cells, I can pick a forest
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: defender much much more easily than I can and Newcastle
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: when we'll talk about defenders in a minute.
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: But I think the value that you get and the.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: Attacking threat that you get out of those forest defenders
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: would just sway me towards having Pope rather than the
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: defensive double up.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: I guess maybe a couple of weeks ago you might
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: have been a little bit more worried about Pope with
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: Debravka's form, But I get all those concerns gone now
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: stand back his minutes.
• 24:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think that's the other thing, isn't it
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: that for me, he is their number one goalkeeper. I
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: would expect Pope to play every game until the end
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: of the season, barring an injury or something major happening,
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: and so yeah, I don't have any concerns about that. Plus,
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: you know, you would have a playing second goalkeeper for
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: now anyway, just to make sure that you had that
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: for the bench boost anyway, Jules, your two keepers.
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree with if with someone Pope, I think
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: if you can that's a that's a really good that's
• 25:03
  Speaker 4: a good idea. I would not want to double up
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: either now have two one forest keeper and one forest defenders.
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: And for Newcastle I think the points are so valuable
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: now between that and the end of the season, you
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: can't I think, take the risk of trying to doubling
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: up defensively because obviously if one goal goes in then
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: you lose potentially more points than if you have one
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: Newcastle and one Forest and one Arsenal and one this
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: and one etcetera. So yeah, I like cells still, and
• 25:31
  Speaker 4: you don't need to have a forest defender if you
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: don't want to, and you can have Sales or the
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: other way around. Pope. I like Riat because the fixtures
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: are decent from an arsenal point of view. Really Everton
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: Brentford if switched Pallas before Burnemouth and Liverpool, So before
• 25:45
  Speaker 4: you get to Bournemouth and Liverpool, I guess there's some
• 25:47
  Speaker 4: points probably there defensively to be taken from them again
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: without doubling up, so it depends really where you're going
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: then into your defenders, and that's why I think we
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: put goodkeepers and defenders very often together.
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: Wonderful Seguay, thank you very much put them together.
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: Of course, in this podcast, there are thirteen defenders who
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: have broken the one hundred point barrier already this season.
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: It's been quite nice.
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: Some of the attacking defenders have really returned well this
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: season and have been really fun to own. I look
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: at Kirkz he's not as high up as I expected,
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: but he's had a brilliant season. I've enjoyed owning him
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: at his price point, that's for sure. I do feel
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: like we need to start this conversation with the top
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: scoring defender in the game, Trent Alexander Arnold, because he
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: has read a flag. We don't know exactly when he'll back,
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: but I think arno Slot's wording was something about around
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: the end of the season or by the end of
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: the season, so it's vague, but it doesn't sound good.
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: Myself and Sam sold him last week. I imagine we'd
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: recommend for everyone to sell him given how much money
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: he costs, and he is being heavily sold at the moment.
• 26:43
  Speaker 1: But what do you do in general about Liverpool defenders
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: do you think, Sam, Well, that.
• 26:48
  Speaker 3: Is a good question.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: I'm not going there, even though they sit quite nicely
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: on the fictionure ticker, and even though they have absolutely
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: nothing else to play for because obviously they're out of
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: the Champion Zegue, they're out of the FA Cup. So
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: the fact that they're fifth on the fixture ticket and
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: they have a run of fixtures that we is Everton,
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: full and west Ham Leicester would absolutely in a normal
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: season be highly attractive as an FBI asset, right You'd
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: be like, right, perfect, I'll get Trent, I'll get Virgil.
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: My issue is is that they regularly just concede one goal.
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: It's just like the odd goal here or there.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: Where they kind of just appear to go to sleep
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: for a minute and then concede one. And it's so
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: frustrating as an FBL owner because you look at it
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: and you're like, oh, come on man, that's like four
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: points that you've just cost me, plus the potential for
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: some bonus points, and I think their value point they're
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: very expensive. So the only we didn't mention Allison in
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: the goalkeepers But if you really wanted to go with
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: a Liverpool defender, then I'd probably go there because for me, yes,
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: Virgil isn't it he's a threat from set pieces, but
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: with Trent not there, I think Liverpool are less good
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: in attack anyway. So I'm going to be avoiding the
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: Liverpool defense, which seems ridiculous given that they're likely to
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: go on to win the league and.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: Also the fact that they don't have any other distractions,
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: do they because all focus now is going to be
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: on the Premier League after a disappointing week for them, Jeels,
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: I'm expecting a bit of a wounded animal to come
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: back for this run.
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: And what about you, Yeah, probably, although I think we
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: all expected the reaction after the PhD defeat in the
• 28:15
  Speaker 4: Champi's League against your Castle in the Liakup final and
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: we didn't see it again.
• 28:19
  Speaker 5: Like they were they were very poor, like they were really.
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: In the first game against PHG and to some extent
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: in some of the game in the in the second
• 28:26
  Speaker 4: leg on fields.
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: So I don't know. The next game is the derby, which.
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: Again, even if it's a home I think it's still
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: still a derby against Everton and we saw what happened
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: so in the reverse picture with the lake Tarkovs goal
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: and all of that. So this is not going to
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: be easy for them either, and you could expect, I
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: think Everton to be very strong defensively and to try
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: to nullify Salah again and all the attacking players at Liverpool.
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: So it's not Yeah, I don't think it's the next
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: few games are easy for them, considering the week that
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: you said, a horror that they had with the Champianoneague
• 28:58
  Speaker 4: elimination and then that defeating the leak up for item
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: that usually doesn't lose defeat, so doesn't losing defeat so
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: in final sorry, so it'd.
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: Be very interesting to do.
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: I would not go there defensively either, and even going
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: forward with the ball, I'm not sure really, apart from Salai,
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: if you would be ready to invest in Liverpool either.
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: Okay, so you both said you're probably going to go
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: with Matt Sells in the forest goal, and Jewels already
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: has mentioned Sam that he probably isn't comfortable doubling up
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: with the defender and a forest goalkeeper.
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: Are you kind of thinking the same.
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, one hundred percent, And I think for me that's
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: probably why are on the side of Pope over sales
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: in goal because I really like the Forest defenders. I
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: think their attacking threat is so good. Whether you want
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: to spend the budget that you need to spend on
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: a whether you go for a Williams or whether you
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: go from a link of Itch, they all have really
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: nice attacking threat from different things. So Williams is really
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: good in front of goal, like he's got the biggest
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: goal threat of the three of them. I mean you
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: could go from Marino as well. Probably shouldn't completely ignore him.
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: He's in the conversation as well. But I think for
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: me a bit like it was last week, it really
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: comes down to a straight choice between Williams and Milenkovitch,
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: and so it's just then which one do you want
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: to go to? Which one can you afford like because
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: there is that little bit of difference in the price point,
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: but both of them offering really really nice value for money.
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: Forest sitting nicely on the ticker with all to play
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: for towards the back end of the season. Okay, there's
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: potentially the distraction of the FA Cup as they're still
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: in that one, and I think I expect them to
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: go through in the FA Cup, I think just so
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: for me Forest defenders, yes, absolutely, I think on wild
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: cards I'll probably go for Milenkovitch because I can adjust
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: the price that I've got everywhere else so that I
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: can afford to have him, because I think that feels
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: like the right thing to do. But if you've only
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: got the budget for Williams like I did last week,
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: I know the outcome of that wasn't exactly what I wanted,
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: but it still does make sense to be invested in
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: that Forest defense with him.
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: Okay, I'm trying to avoid going through every single team,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: but let's try and look at teams that have been
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: popular defensively. Arsenal Gabrielle is fourth on the list, after
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: Alexander Arnold and two Forest defends in Ana Emilenkovich, and
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: then after gabriel was actually Saliba as well. Is it
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: still good to be doubled up on the Arsenal defense.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: I feel like one Arsenal defender is all right, Jeles,
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: But how are you feeling on the double up? Yeah?
• 31:14
  Speaker 4: And like I said, don't I would not go for
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: for two Arsenal defenders or one defender one keeper at
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: the stage of the season.
• 31:21
  Speaker 5: Really, although you can if you want to do it.
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: You can have Timber for example.
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: Because it's the cheapest really of the options that you have,
• 31:29
  Speaker 4: or Lewis Kelly if you want. But Timber is guaranteed
• 31:32
  Speaker 4: to play a right back I think pretty much. I'm
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: not guaranteed every single game because they would be the
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: Champions League, and I think Ben White and now is
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: back to full fitness, so you can see a little
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: bit of rotation maybe a right back, but Timber is
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: very solid. The thing with Gabrielle, even if he hasn't
• 31:47
  Speaker 4: scored on said pieces for a while an Arsenal overall,
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: apart from the Merino goal against Chelsea, they haven't been
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: maybe as lethal and said pieces that they were earlier
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: in the season. It's still there very much, and they
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: still get a lot of corners or White three kicks.
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: You can have Gabrielle.
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: If you're in love with William Saliba, like I am,
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: obviously go for William Saliba. He's the most handsome of
• 32:05
  Speaker 4: all those choices that we just mentioned too, and he's
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: from Paris, so there's nothing not to like about William
• 32:10
  Speaker 4: Saliba really, but I would not choose two of them, really,
• 32:13
  Speaker 4: I would go for just one of them.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: There's one thing not to like the fact that his
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: teammate is two points above him in FBL, so you
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: should have gone for Gabrielle.
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: Really, he's not everything else said about Saliba.
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Some who's the best in your unbiased opinion, who's the
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: best arsenal defender?
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: So I've got Timber right now, and I've enjoyed owning Timber.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: To be fair, he's he's been a good own significantly
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: less than you need to pay for the two because obviously,
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: and I've had him for a long time now, so
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: he's five point six in the game.
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: But you got to pay like zero.
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: Point eight more for Gabrielle, and you've got to pay
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: what point six more to get Saliba, So I think
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: I think that comes into the conversation, and again is
• 32:52
  Speaker 2: a price point thing. If money is no object and
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: you can afford any of them, then I'd absolutely have
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: Gabrielle as my first choice because I think the attacking
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: threat that you get with him from set pieces is great.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: He's also a bit of a bonus point magnet is Gabrielle,
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: so you often find that he'll pick up bonus points
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: when he plays well. So if money is no object,
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: I go for Gabrielle. I think I will probably move
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: off Timber on wild card simply because, as you're said,
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: we may get some rotation around that position. Whereas if
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: you've gone for a Gabrielle or a sleep but you
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: know that you're absolutely as solid as you can be
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: in terms of security of starts, so frustratingly, if you
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: can't afford the extra point too.
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: Then I do what Torce has just said, and I
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: hate that.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: I havingk Sleepers like takes too much agreement on this
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: pod for my life horerendous.
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but Gabrielle, if you can afford.
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: Him, Okay, Well, we can't talk about Defenders without talking
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: about Crystal Palace. As if Sam needs any excuse she's
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: been desperate to bring.
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: The moon Offs back in. Do I even need to
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: ask if that's still the plan.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: I haven't owned him yet, and honestly, you've You've been
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: waiting for this week to get him is like so
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: much like that, It's like an obsession, Like I'm actually
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: obsessed with Daniel Munau. Is like I just I need
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: him in my team as soon as possible, to the
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: point where last week I didn't bring in Melenkovich because
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: I wanted to get Muna's this week, which is actually
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: mad when.
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: You don't have you made the move already, or you
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: waiting for the police. Tell me you're kind of waiting
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: for the FA Cup as well. No, I haven't done anything. Yeah,
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: I'm waiting, waiting to see what happens.
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: But to be honest, it's one of those where if
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: he was going to rise in price, I probably would
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: just do it, because worst case scenario, if I get
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: loads of problems over international break, I just hit the
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: World Card button, and I'm hitting it like two days early,
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: so it's actually not the end of the world.
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: Like.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: That's the one thing I think with these is that
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: I'm obviously watching for price changes, and if Muna's looks
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: like he's going to go up, then I'll just hit it.
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: But he is one hundred percent the first name in
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: my defensive line on World Card.
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: Just to remind everybody about Muna is he would play
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: with Columbia obviously, like all the South American So just
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: keep it. Actually, we hope that it doesn't nothing happens
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: to him that you think, yeah, you might right and.
• 35:01
  Speaker 5: Quit football forever.
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: So yeah, let's hope that him and all the sati matter.
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: The international players, by the way, who are with the.
• 35:06
  Speaker 5: National team come back to us healthy and safe.
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: Do you share Sam's love for Palace?
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: You're going to be bringing in a Palace defender Jules
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: or you've got Henderson, But it sounds.
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: Like you can get Yeah, I might get rid of him.
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: I think Unos is the one really more than get.
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: He is quite high on that defensive defender's list as well,
• 35:23
  Speaker 4: but I think who knows is because he's so attacking
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: and because they even if they have top fixtures. We
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: said that, so it might not be completely easy. You
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: might not be completely convinced either. You might not share
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: the love that Sam shares for Muno's obviously, but I
• 35:38
  Speaker 4: think if there's why, which is there for exactly, what
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: would you not all the tattoos and everything? You know?
• 35:46
  Speaker 1: Okay, then so we we're loving Crystal Palace. I'm particularly
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: loving Daniel Munos and we're praying that he comes back
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: from international break not injured.
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: Another player that I mentioned last week, I said we
• 35:55
  Speaker 3: needed to talk about films. Anthony Robinson.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: He heard me because he finally sorted himself fouts in
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: blank game week twenty nine, just when we needed he too.
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: But I mentioned Fulham's fixtures before their bottom of the
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: fixture tick and they've got Arsenal, Liverpool born with in
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: Chelsea in the next four weeks, and of course they
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: could blank in game week thirty four.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: Is this the time to sell some Yeah, sadly it is,
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: I think, like, yeah, I mean he returned, didn't he
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: for us nicely in game week twenty nine against my team?
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: Which always seems to.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: Happen in a blank game week. What is it we
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: Spurs and Fulham in blank game weeks?
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: Trying to help your a field team out. They can't.
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: They want to.
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: They want to help your a field team out, but
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: not help your actual like say, your mental health, but
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: probably does affect your mental health so massively.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: He I think biganels like right, Sam really needs some
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: FPR points this week, so we'll let her have a
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: Robinson clean sheet.
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: I think when you look at the fixtures like Arsenal
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: and Liverpool in the next two does not look great,
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: does it? And then even after that Bournemouth Chelsea, it's
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: not really until you get to Southampton, but then it's
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: Villa and it's Everton, Brentford Man City like that is
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: a horrible end to the season and when it comes
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: to potential for clean sheets anyway, And whilst Robinson does
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: have the attacking threat, like we've not talked yet about
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: Kirkcas we've waxally record back moon or so I won't
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: go back there again. But those are also players that
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: have got really good attacking threat but also have more
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: likelihood of a clean sheet.
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: And I think that's the thing, isn't it.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: You could hold Robinson because he's got the attacking potential
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: and we know that over the course of the season,
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: but realistically, between now and game week thirty eight, you
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: want to be investing in players that have the potential
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: for a massive double digit hull and a clean sheet
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: and an attacking return is the best way to get
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: that out of your defenders. So that's why I'd lose Robinson.
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: It will be a sad farewell when I said him
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: on Wildcock because he has been a fantastic owning FBR
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: this season, but the time is now, sadly agree George.
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think so, And again there are so many
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: really good options. We haven't talked about Livramento, for example,
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: before we talked about Newcastle and being at the top
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: of the ticker for Pope in gold. But if you
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: don't want to go for Pope and now looking for
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: you guys, a defender live our mental four point five
• 38:00
  Speaker 4: million is in great form. He will play okay, he
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: plays on the left when he's right footed and right
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: back he's probably is a better position for him, but
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: he still could have He could do a very good
• 38:09
  Speaker 4: job there and I suspect he would be there until
• 38:12
  Speaker 4: the end of the season too, So he's guaranteed to
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: start pretty much every time. And I think considering the
• 38:17
  Speaker 4: fixture that New Cats will have going forwards, you know,
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: I think, I think if I mentor at that price
• 38:22
  Speaker 4: four point five million, it's really really cheap, it's potentially
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: a good pick. So again it depends how much your
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: budget is. But there's also yeah, they are there are
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: other options that are cheaper than Anthony Robinson.
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: It's really tough as well, isn't it balancing out as
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: we always say, who's high on the fixture ticker and
• 38:39
  Speaker 1: the form as well. Because I'm looking at the fixture
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: ticker now Manchester City are up there. Gvardio is the
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: only one I'd potentially look at, but he feels very expensive, Sam,
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: really he is.
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: I mean he's got five goals this season's the highest
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: scoring defender in the league for goals, but he's only
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: got seven clean sheet So when you count the number
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: of sos I counted night when I was prepping for this,
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: there is only there's nineteen more clean sheets for defenders
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: across the league this season. Nineteen defenders with more clean sheet.
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: So when you're looking at that level of money to
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: spend on cavardial like it feels, in my opinion, it
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: feels like a lot. Now all right, you look at
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: the fixtures and game and week thirty is perfect, isn't it.
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: So we've got Lester who just aren't scoring any goals
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: at the moment, so you'd expect there to be the
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: potential for a clean sheet there. But then when you
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: look at the fixtures that follow, although most of them
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: are nicely colored on the ticker because Manchester City are
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: usually so good, but it's Manchester United who you could
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: definitely see Bruno getting something in that one Crystal Palace
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: who regularly are scoring goals at the moment. Everton, who
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: you know, okay and attack they aren't are great, but
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: then Villa, it's only really those last couple of weeks,
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: the Wolves, Southampton and then Fulham maybe in thirty eight,
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: but then there's Born within thirty seven, Like, realistically, how
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: many clean sheets do we think that there is for
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: cavardiole in that time? And he's got five goals this season,
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: but over the course of the season that's not a
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: huge amount. So I'm going to be avoiding the man's defense.
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: I might we'll talk about this next week, but I
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: might even avoid Manchester City all together, even though they're
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: second on the fixture ticker, which feels ridiculous.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: I really wanted to ask Jules another question then, but
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: that is just the perfect mic drop. Let's end the
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: pod monument. That's a nice bold statement to leave it on.
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: We should also, though I can't end the pod because
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: I do want to hear your best five defenders. Overall,
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: let's bear in mind that people don't have one hundred
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: and fifty million pounds to play with, a ridiculous Some
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: people who've been really clever with their team value might
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: have a little bit more than others, but let's try
• 40:29
  Speaker 1: and help out those that don't have a high team
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: value at this point of the season, when you're suggesting them, gone, Jewels,
• 40:34
  Speaker 1: who would you go with?
• 40:36
  Speaker 4: So we've got probably for Saliba obviously my brother, one
• 40:40
  Speaker 4: of the Forest defenders. So again depending on your on
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: your budget, Williams or Melenkovich, probably I go for Carecase,
• 40:48
  Speaker 4: I go for Liveramento, and the fifth one, I'm not
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: too sure.
• 40:53
  Speaker 5: Maybe maybe Munaise, It's not too far off.
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: My No, I'm very upset by that.
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: Right well, Mike Bruno's was my first picks.
• 41:08
  Speaker 3: Juels.
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: If I could have five for him, I absolutely would
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: stray five. It's really for a defender, doesn't he Ever,
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: there's no red flags either. He's perfect. So Daniel Muhold's
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: first pick, and then I like Jewels. I'm torn on
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: the Williams Milenkovich thing. It would literally come down to
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: when creating the team, do I have the budget. If
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: I've got the budget, I'd go for Melenkovich.
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: If I don't, I go for Williams.
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: I'd have Gabriel Ward have Kerkez the fifth one. Again,
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: I'm finding a struggle because I don't want to double
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: up on the Newcast of Defense, because I think there's
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: there's better options elsewhere, particularly if I've got Pope between
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: the sticks, which is my plan. Connor Bradley. We didn't
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: mention he's the one player from Liverpool that if he's
• 41:51
  Speaker 2: fitting available and that's another benefit of waiting until thirty
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: one for this is that you might get some more
• 41:55
  Speaker 2: information if he's back with Trent out, maybe he's an option,
• 41:59
  Speaker 2: but it would just come to be honest, the fifth
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: defender is literally just going to be who has got
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: a good fixture in the week or on a bench boost,
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: because otherwise they're going to sit on the bench. So
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: it's going to be a nice cheap option with a
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: decent fixture in bench boos week. So probably in thirty
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: two or thirty three. Okay, that is where we like
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: to leave it this time.
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: Even though I really wanted that manager's city line to
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: be where we ended the pod, I didn't need to
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: round off the chat by finding out who your defenders were.
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: Hopefully everyone listening to that has found it really useful
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: because there's so many people. If you're not wildcarding now,
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: you're likely to be wildcarding in the next few weeks,
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: so maybe you can even go back and listen to
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: this pod nearer the time. Maybe by then everything that
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: we'll said will be irrelevant. Now in our luck, well
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: half of them, we'll get injured or something. But yeah,
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: thank you, Jaeles, thank you very much. Sam. We'll be
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: back again at the same time, same place, well remotely
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: next Thursday, with a kind of look ahead I guess
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: to the FA Cup in terms of what might have changed,
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: and we'll be that little bit closer to the deadline
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: four game week thirty, which is of course in the
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: midweek following, so it's like two weeks almost from now.
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: A long time ago with that FPL, but hopefully we
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: can be here to fill your FPL fixed.
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: Thanks as always listening. What'll see next week, guys.
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: H m hmm
