  He says I would like to make that third choice.
• 0:04
  I like John Felix and I would I would like him on my team and I
• 0:07
  will trade Odegard for him. And I said right, why not?
• 0:13
  So you so you led him to the fire and then poured gasoline on
• 0:17
  top of it. No, I think I, I think I, I
• 0:19
  built a beautiful world and he hung himself in that world.
• 0:28
  Hello and welcome to episode 54 Draft Offsides.
• 0:31
  And with Tico Enzo. My name is Keith Boom.
• 0:35
  Stay calm and carry on. Stay calm and carry on.
• 0:38
  That's Enzo's advice. That's also.
• 0:40
  That's the advice of the winners and the losers.
• 0:42
  Stay calm and carry on. Seriously, stay calm.
• 0:44
  Carry on. If you're O121O12 and O, just
• 0:48
  calm, stay calm. Stay the course.
• 0:51
  You don't think you're you're not making any panics trades
• 0:53
  yet? No, I mean.
• 0:55
  Like when will you actually start making adjustments?
• 0:57
  Because like I think by by which five?
• 0:59
  No I. Was going to say OO and five is
• 1:02
  where I'm like all right, cool, let me I got to change something
• 1:05
  so let me try to send out probably my best players and try
• 1:08
  to get at least 2, two good players out of it.
• 1:11
  Maybe not two top players, but two good players that actually
• 1:13
  can give me points, you know what I mean yeah maybe taking
• 1:16
  some risk on the way for a while.
• 1:17
  Never know all. Right, let's let's go over just
• 1:20
  a couple of the key games from the week before we get into
• 1:22
  Southern die. Just that big stuff United they
• 1:26
  lost. I just I saw that coming.
• 1:27
  What about the how about Liverpool?
• 1:29
  You guys feel pretty good about Liverpool.
• 1:31
  I feel like it's the same Liverpool as last season, you
• 1:33
  know, I mean, start off a little bit slow.
• 1:35
  I know they got that early goal in the first half, but it's like
• 1:38
  they don't really and they just turn it on in the second, you
• 1:40
  know. I mean, good, the great first
• 1:44
  ball was great little car attack Jar.
• 1:47
  That's the other crazy thing is Jar now the shoo in to start
• 1:50
  every game. Yeah, let's talk.
• 1:52
  We'll we'll say that. We'll talk about that a little
• 1:54
  later, but yeah. Yeah, so.
• 1:55
  That's the that's, I think the the crux of Liverpool, right?
• 1:59
  And like what that? What's that front 3 going to
• 2:00
  look like? Exactly.
• 2:03
  And then last but not least, Chelsea are we?
• 2:06
  Are we back? I, I don't know, I don't know.
• 2:10
  I think it don't get on my way. He's called a great hat trick.
• 2:14
  He he did just called wolves a shit place to live for that.
• 2:19
  You call them a ship place to live.
• 2:20
  Let's go to hat trick on. And that is pretty epic as as
• 2:23
  like obviously impressive. Any hat trick is in the Premier
• 2:24
  League. If you score a hat trick, do the
• 2:26
  exact same three things three times in a row, it's not as
• 2:30
  impressive. No.
• 2:32
  Clearly you're just taking advantage of like a certain
• 2:33
  situation that they, like wolves, failed to like,
• 2:37
  capitalize on. It was like Pro Evo, like 2015
• 2:41
  Pro Evo. You know when you got the byline
• 2:43
  and all you had to do is cut it back?
• 2:44
  There was always a striker there was wired up.
• 2:45
  Yeah, you just literally felt like that.
• 2:47
  I felt like you figured out like a hack in like a game.
• 2:49
  Like, oh, I figured out like a cheat code.
• 2:51
  Let me just do this over and over again just to make sure I
• 2:53
  win the game. Yeah, I I liked how it was a 22
• 2:55
  game that was kind of competitive at half time.
• 2:57
  I thought it could go either way and all Chelsea had to do was
• 3:00
  just take off MO Drake and then they put their four goals in the
• 3:02
  second-half. Kind of true, yeah.
• 3:04
  I was pretty shocked to see Mujrag even in the lineup.
• 3:08
  So was I. I was shocked to sing Google on
• 3:10
  the bench, Keith. Me too.
• 3:12
  Shocked. Shocked and alarmed.
• 3:15
  Yeah, I'm shocked. And.
• 3:15
  Alarmed as somebody dropped him in the third round.
• 3:17
  But you know, my team is doing well, so we're hanging.
• 3:21
  I'm hanging in there. Wait, wait, wait.
• 3:23
  We spoke about both your teams, told them at a good game too.
• 3:26
  Or oh. Come on Man 4.
• 3:28
  Without Solanki. Yep.
• 3:31
  Oh yeah. I told you son's going to have a
• 3:33
  good year. Two goals, the only wrong he was
• 3:36
  gifted 1 by that. That idiot Pickford.
• 3:38
  I know you love him, Tico. And so you love him.
• 3:41
  I love him. I love him.
• 3:43
  What an idiot. What an idiot.
• 3:45
  What a slow. Man, oh.
• 3:47
  My God, it was that. It was such a heavy touch.
• 3:50
  I was like, is son really that fast or is he that slow?
• 3:52
  It was. Kind of, I think it's a little
• 3:53
  bit of both. Pickford looked like he was
• 3:55
  running on ice. You know that his feet were just
• 3:58
  like moving without anything going on.
• 4:00
  Which one you think was worse, his or Murich?
• 4:02
  I think marriage, because that's not the first time marriage has
• 4:04
  done that. Marriage did that a few times
• 4:06
  last year, yeah. So I just, I think it's worse
• 4:09
  when you've done it like Pickford was less time Pickford
• 4:11
  made that bad of a mistake. Yeah, but you're the number one
• 4:14
  for England. You've been playing much longer
• 4:15
  in the Premier. You're like, you're supposed to
• 4:16
  be at a higher level. True, yeah.
• 4:20
  Don't vote bad. Let's just put it that way, all.
• 4:23
  Right, let's let's get into it. Studs and duds for match Week 2.
• 4:28
  He could who you got for us. So we start off with Holland.
• 4:31
  The King is back at the high track.
• 4:33
  Four goals in two games finished with 37 1/2 points projected
• 4:38
  18.96. The impressive part about his
• 4:40
  outing was he had 10 points as ghost points, which he really
• 4:45
  doesn't do those. So he had 10 points as ghost
• 4:47
  points, which is a good thing to see as an owner.
• 4:49
  That's a really good, that's a really good shot.
• 4:52
  Here it is. Lesson learnt.
• 4:55
  Don't score a goal against Man City that early because then
• 4:59
  they spank her. Don't get around the first
• 5:01
  goals. A penalty.
• 5:02
  He's going to make those second goals.
• 5:05
  Well taken. Little little dink round.
• 5:08
  But yeah man, he's he's ridiculous. 7 hat tricks from
• 5:11
  Man C. Is it 7 or no?
• 5:14
  10 Hat trick from Man C written ridiculous.
• 5:18
  He has a hat trick against 24 teams.
• 5:20
  Against every single team. Oh my God.
• 5:23
  And that that. Wait, wait.
• 5:24
  Did he score? He scored a hat trick against
• 5:25
  Solo. He must have.
• 5:28
  No, he didn't. I don't think he Nah.
• 5:30
  No, I don't think he's, no, I don't think he's going to hatch
• 5:32
  every single team. That's crazy.
• 5:34
  That's crazy. There's no way he's done that.
• 5:36
  But. He scored 24 hat tricks, but not
• 5:38
  not one against every single team in the Premier League.
• 5:41
  There's no way bro. Yeah, I would.
• 5:44
  He didn't, There's no way. I believe he scored 24 hat
• 5:47
  tricks, but no against every team in the Premier League.
• 5:50
  I mean I think that Hugo's point though the the most impressive
• 5:52
  thing to me is the 10/10/10 ghost points because the goals
• 5:56
  are going to be the goals. But for him to get 10 ghost
• 5:58
  points is great. Who else you got?
• 6:02
  Max Killman, 27 points. He had one assist and the rest
• 6:07
  of the points were at Ghost Point.
• 6:09
  So he did a lot of the stuff that doesn't show up on the
• 6:11
  stack box score and he was only he's the only player that is
• 6:15
  ranked at the top ten in points for matched match day two.
• 6:18
  That is the roster and less than 50% and last week had a good
• 6:21
  week as well. So he's a defender that might be
• 6:23
  a, you know, keep an eye on. Yeah, I think it's a really good
• 6:25
  shot. I think Wolves got rid of a few
• 6:28
  key pieces. I think he was one of the key
• 6:29
  pieces for him and he's doing, he's doing really well at his
• 6:32
  new club so I think he's been consistent in the last two games
• 6:36
  too so. Yeah, I think with all the
• 6:37
  flashy ads by Wolves, like the attacking ads, you know, the
• 6:41
  full Kregs and Somerville's, I think Kilman might prove to be
• 6:44
  the most valuable of all the ads when it's all said and done.
• 6:47
  You know, just like I sent it back at that level that with
• 6:50
  that much just kind of know how and Premier League experience
• 6:53
  that could be the the real winner for them.
• 6:55
  Yeah, they did well. Yeah, but I think he's actually,
• 6:58
  you know, less than 50% roster. Obviously he's I was going to
• 7:01
  talk about him in waivers. We we will a little more, but I
• 7:03
  think he's the number one target for waivers this week.
• 7:06
  I agree. Who else you got Tico?
• 7:09
  Morgan Gibbs White 25 points projected 1212.8.
• 7:13
  Finished with a goal, doubled his projecting projection
• 7:16
  points. He's off to a gastrada as well
• 7:19
  with the Forest. Now sure, boy.
• 7:21
  Yeah, I love, I love Morgan Wyatt.
• 7:23
  I think he's a great player. I think with with force attack
• 7:27
  looking really strong too, like I think Carol that's a duck.
• 7:31
  Adores looked really good. If Chris Wood continues to score
• 7:33
  goals, you know, I think that's, I think he's in a really good
• 7:37
  spot to continue to do well. A lot more against why he's
• 7:41
  going to do that. He's not going to score a goal
• 7:43
  regame, but he's going to do all the other stuff in between it.
• 7:46
  So if he gets a goal and assist, it's just beautiful.
• 7:49
  But you know, even if he doesn't, still should be a good
• 7:52
  game. Yeah, you got to be happy.
• 7:53
  You got to be happy though for him getting goals.
• 7:56
  Yeah. All right, let's get this
• 7:58
  honorable mention that's I think scored more than anyone on on
• 8:00
  this list. The mentioned Cole Palmer and
• 8:04
  Maduaiki like they said afterwards.
• 8:06
  Palmer in his eyes sees fire fire nice.
• 8:09
  Maduiki hit the hat trick 40 points projected to a 15.93
• 8:12
  monster game. Palmer hit the one goal and then
• 8:15
  three assists, all of them to Maduaiki with the hat trick of
• 8:19
  assists. Palmer finished with 36.5
• 8:21
  points, projected 17. You'd love to see this from what
• 8:25
  Cole Palmer Obviously it's not going to have a monster game
• 8:27
  like this, but last year this is something we're used to at least
• 8:31
  once every few weeks. So Keith, I'm sure you're happy
• 8:34
  to see that for Chelsea and since Cole Palmer owner.
• 8:37
  Yep. Feels great.
• 8:39
  I think the Matoeki thing was a bit of a surprise, but like, I
• 8:41
  know who's watched him and knows that he's a good player, you
• 8:44
  know? Yeah.
• 8:45
  So I think it was always just a matter of him getting on the
• 8:47
  pitch. If he, if he, if he keep his
• 8:50
  spot is the thing we spoke about boy, if he keep his spot because
• 8:54
  look, Netzo came on and he had an assist also, I think he had
• 8:58
  less time. He did really well.
• 9:00
  Yeah, totally. I think there's a lot of
• 9:02
  attacking options at Chelsea. I think we might run into a
• 9:04
  little like City issues there where I think there's going to
• 9:06
  be a heavy rotation. It's not bad problem to have,
• 9:10
  you bastard. It's not a bad problem to have,
• 9:12
  but it might be a bad problem to have as a fantasy manager.
• 9:15
  All right, let's go into the duds then.
• 9:17
  Who's first up? First one is Vitali Mikolenko,
• 9:22
  finished with -1.25 points last year he was ranked the 6th
• 9:26
  defender in total points and he started the year with two
• 9:29
  negative scoring games. Everton defense, goalkeeper,
• 9:33
  they're a Schecher right now and he's averaging negative points
• 9:35
  for the year. I know it's only two games, but
• 9:37
  still. Yeah.
• 9:38
  So he was kind of like a Middle East defender last year, but
• 9:41
  then he had like run where he scored a bunch of goals, right?
• 9:43
  And then so I think he kind of jumped up and everyone's kind of
• 9:46
  like fantasy consciousness a little higher.
• 9:49
  Yeah. And then but he kind of dropped
• 9:50
  off the end of last year again. I don't know.
• 9:52
  I'm like. He's not sold.
• 9:54
  I'm not sold. That was the thing.
• 9:56
  Everton, Everton's my team that I have picked to go down.
• 9:58
  I have Everton, Ipswich and Southampton.
• 10:03
  No, Oh no, sorry. I have Ipswich saying I have
• 10:05
  Everton, Leicester, Southampton going down.
• 10:07
  I think Everton, the reason was, is because they lost Sonana.
• 10:11
  But I think it was really important for them and I just
• 10:13
  like they didn't really improve anymore.
• 10:14
  You know they got no struggles I.
• 10:15
  Think like, yeah. So I think like, yeah, I think
• 10:19
  Nick Lingo to me is just I'm, I'm, I'm not like hanging on
• 10:23
  him. Completely agree.
• 10:25
  Who else? Who else dot it out?
• 10:26
  Alexander Eastock five points projected to a 14.26.
• 10:30
  Newcastle They had a favorable matchup, but they only scored
• 10:33
  one goal. They went down early 10 and then
• 10:35
  they fought. Gorda scored a goal, five
• 10:37
  points. Pretty disappointing against a
• 10:38
  good matchup. And they really should have lost
• 10:41
  this game. There's that really bad VR call
• 10:43
  that kind of cost. Born with the win here.
• 10:45
  Yep, it's like a good striker. We we, I've got to say he's had
• 10:51
  a couple, couple games where the first game wasn't really his
• 10:54
  full, went down to 10 men, I think.
• 10:55
  I think he's still scored like 8-9 points because he got an
• 10:58
  assist that game. He got five.
• 11:00
  This one. I'd be a little bit more worried
• 11:02
  if he got zero points. Don't get wrong strikers.
• 11:05
  You want goals from him. I'm not worried.
• 11:07
  He got five points. He's a dud, but give him a
• 11:10
  couple more games, you can get a few more goals.
• 11:12
  It's a huge draft in him, right? A draft in him one league, yeah.
• 11:15
  I feel like everyone you drafted just having a really slow start.
• 11:18
  Ollie Walkins. Yeah, all of them.
• 11:20
  Yeah, you should just post your whole team so we know we know
• 11:23
  who to who to stay away from for the first few weeks of the
• 11:25
  season. Got it.
• 11:27
  Thank you. Thanks.
• 11:27
  Thanks for that. Keith, you.
• 11:29
  Good thing you did a lot of mock drafts.
• 11:33
  Yeah, I kind of I, I'm not like, what are you going to do?
• 11:35
  Not start? You suck.
• 11:37
  Yeah, you got to. You got to.
• 11:38
  It's like I had Welbeck on the bench earlier and but I had
• 11:41
  Ollie Watkins and Kai Havers. Am I going to drop one of them
• 11:44
  for Welbeck? I should have, but I didn't.
• 11:46
  All. Right.
• 11:47
  Who else is out the duds? John Philippe Matata, 4 points
• 11:50
  versus projected 17.87 played the whole 90 minutes and he only
• 11:54
  had two key passes for those four points and then he has last
• 11:59
  game he only had half a point. So someone else who's Enzo has
• 12:02
  been I am, but someone else was off to a pretty slow start.
• 12:06
  Do you chalk this up to him just coming back to the Olympics and
• 12:10
  hopping right back into the Premier League, not having any
• 12:12
  pre season, Pretty much missed all pre season and didn't have a
• 12:14
  break. I think there's something to
• 12:16
  that. Maybe, yeah, maybe.
• 12:17
  Maybe he's got a bit of tired legs, but honestly, this, this
• 12:21
  Crystal Palace team's got some attacking threats.
• 12:24
  They just haven't been you. Like, I don't think Ismael
• 12:26
  Sasbury been used too often coming off the bench.
• 12:29
  I think as they still been playing well, just hasn't been
• 12:33
  getting Matera involved or Matera hasn't been getting
• 12:35
  himself involved. Yeah, I think it's a good
• 12:36
  Crystal Palace. I just think it's a slow start.
• 12:39
  We were going to argue about it and I think we'll talk about it
• 12:41
  later too, but I think Ketia comes, is that the IF for
• 12:45
  Matata? Because I I think Matata
• 12:47
  probably still starts, at least at the beginning.
• 12:50
  I think so it's and then then if he continues to be bad, like we
• 12:54
  can use to not contribute, I can see any cuts they're taking
• 12:57
  getting a chance. But I think to start off, Matage
• 13:00
  is still going to be the guy. Yeah, it's Matage's place to
• 13:02
  lose so. I feel the same way.
• 13:05
  Oh yeah, honorable mention who we got.
• 13:08
  Doku only 5.75 points projected 17.83.
• 13:13
  He got taken off for Grillish after 70 minutes but said he had
• 13:17
  four goals and he had no not a lot of key passes, didn't have a
• 13:21
  lot of contribution. So it's something to worry
• 13:24
  about. And we also know on the left
• 13:25
  side that's where Ghreelish plays as well.
• 13:27
  So if you have no good, I think it's a good idea to handicap
• 13:30
  Ghreelish. Yeah, Yeah, I think that's
• 13:32
  really important. When did I was, I was trying to
• 13:36
  look, did Savio come off at some point in the 71st?
• 13:42
  OK, every Smokey came off at the same time.
• 13:44
  Interesting. So I think like Savio is kind of
• 13:50
  alarming if you're a Doku owner too.
• 13:52
  Just like having another attacking winger that seemed to
• 13:54
  have a really hot start. No.
• 13:56
  And seems to be able to do a lot of the same things that Doku you
• 13:58
  can do, albeit on the other side.
• 14:00
  But I don't know if sides really matter for CD because they I
• 14:03
  mean Doku and Savio switched positions at one point in the in
• 14:07
  the first game of the season. So I.
• 14:09
  Think Savio looks good, man. Yeah, I don't like Savio a lot.
• 14:13
  I think Doki's just, you know, he's that dog's going to have
• 14:16
  his day. Like he's going to have some big
• 14:17
  games. It's just it might be very boom
• 14:19
  or bust. Yeah, all he does is every time
• 14:22
  he gets the ball he looks so attacked.
• 14:24
  So you're going to get the dribbling and the cross crosses,
• 14:26
  so that's usually there. All right, let's move on.
• 14:28
  So this next section just going to talk about like the first
• 14:31
  round picks, like the Kings, the Kings of our game.
• 14:34
  And through two weeks, couple of those players have really
• 14:38
  stepped up and been the players who wanted them to be a la
• 14:41
  Holland, Cole Palmer, Salah, Saka.
• 14:45
  And there's been a few who have really underperformed and those
• 14:49
  are notably Bruno Fernandez, Smart Odegard, Ollie Watkins.
• 14:53
  Of those three that have underperformed, are you
• 14:55
  concerned about any of those 3? Not yet.
• 14:58
  It's too early, man. And it's OK then where would you
• 15:01
  rank your concern if you had like who are you most concerned
• 15:04
  about, who you're least concerned about of the thing?
• 15:06
  I'm most concerned about Watkins just because of the saw and he
• 15:09
  hasn't been. He hasn't looked 100% on it.
• 15:12
  Perfect, honest and he's been taken off twice.
• 15:16
  You know what I mean? That'll be concerning.
• 15:17
  O Otagard is just in a a great, very good Arsenal team that has
• 15:22
  many attacking threats. He just has to be one of the,
• 15:25
  you know, one of the one of the strings pulling and do his job
• 15:29
  and he'll be fine. And then Bruno's the only one at
• 15:31
  Man United when he gets Hoyland or Xerxi back and he's actually
• 15:35
  got something to aim at and he's not playing like a false 9 and
• 15:38
  it's not this silly live they're going.
• 15:40
  I think he'll be fine also. Yeah, Bruno, now Christopher
• 15:43
  whatsoever, I actually tried to trade for him.
• 15:45
  I figured this is a good time to buy low on him or they got not
• 15:49
  really concerned about him. That offense is going to
• 15:51
  generate the points. Watkins, I am worried about it
• 15:54
  because we talked about last year how the assists were an
• 15:56
  anomaly. He's probably not going to have
• 15:57
  that many assists. And watching the game, he has
• 16:00
  been taken off and he's had a couple of chances like he missed
• 16:02
  the wide open goal in front of the box, which last year, you
• 16:06
  know, that's going behind the behind the net so.
• 16:08
  What's? A great point, but yeah, no.
• 16:12
  No, there was one where he went far left.
• 16:15
  Oh OK, I thought you were talking about the riot the
• 16:16
  header, the riot, the. Crossbow.
• 16:18
  No, that was a good save. That was a great save.
• 16:20
  Yeah, so to me, Watkins is someone that I am concerned
• 16:24
  about. I think I'd probably stick in
• 16:26
  that exact order too. I'm totally on bored with that.
• 16:30
  OK, so I mean, but I need round one guy.
• 16:32
  I think we're you're not you're not going to panic right now,
• 16:34
  but I think that you can start kind of having your hackles
• 16:37
  raised and be a little alarmed. I think in another few weeks we
• 16:40
  can start to talk about actual things you might do all right,
• 16:44
  talk about some keep or trade options.
• 16:45
  So there's I kind of broke this up into a couple different list
• 16:48
  of players. The first list is like kind of
• 16:51
  the gamble players that look to have paid off as of right now.
• 16:54
  And then the question is, is it worth holding on to or do you
• 16:57
  want to get rid of them? And that list is like Jota
• 17:01
  Matoueque and Jackson and then potentially trust our trust to
• 17:05
  be on that list. But is Jolt to someone because
• 17:08
  he's started for Liverpool without two games.
• 17:11
  So, you know, where he was going to drafts, if he was going to be
• 17:13
  a starter, he's a seal. But the question was, it was
• 17:16
  always is he going to be the starter?
• 17:18
  So do you feel like he's the guy now?
• 17:20
  Nunez, I mean, how's it started a game?
• 17:22
  Nope, Nunez has Nunez has not started a game.
• 17:25
  So at the moment it it looks like that old Liverpool side
• 17:28
  where they had Firminio up front and the two wingers on the side,
• 17:32
  you know, I mean, and he was he's feeding them, which is
• 17:35
  what's been happening. So if you got Jota and I was one
• 17:39
  of the ones saying why are you picking up Joy?
• 17:41
  He's not going to start. I had no idea that Arnie stops
• 17:44
  when I like him that much. It looks like he's starting.
• 17:46
  So that that is a great pick up. So then how about this though,
• 17:50
  if someone offered you Nunez right now for Jota, do you take
• 17:54
  that Jay Tikka? No I I would not because to me
• 17:58
  Nunez seemed like a project for club.
• 18:01
  Say my clap had a thing for him. He always wanted to play him,
• 18:03
  gave him more opportunities and he spoke highly of him.
• 18:06
  Whereas now Jota I don't understand unless he gets an
• 18:09
  injury and Nunes jumps you know Subs in and he has amazing run.
• 18:14
  I think Jota's going to be the striker for the foreseeable
• 18:17
  future. If it's not broke, why mess with
• 18:19
  the lineup? Interesting.
• 18:21
  Yeah. I I don't know how to feel about
• 18:22
  this one. I could.
• 18:23
  I could see both sides of this. It's a tough one.
• 18:25
  OK, What about Madame Ek? A monster game last like game
• 18:29
  week two he has scored he scored midweek 2 in the in the whatever
• 18:34
  European league were in the bottom European league.
• 18:35
  I don't even know the name of it is conference conference league.
• 18:39
  Is he someone and you have a feeling now he's going to at
• 18:41
  least start a few games on a run after that performance.
• 18:45
  But I used you do you that said when you would try and sell now
• 18:50
  are you? He'd have to have another good
• 18:52
  game for me to try to sell them and get the most value I can
• 18:56
  have him like I I'm one of the ones that didn't start him and
• 18:59
  he put 40 points on my bench, but I wasn't sure he was going
• 19:03
  to start. Now you could be sure he's going
• 19:06
  to start next game so you can start him.
• 19:08
  But if he scores another goal, gets an assist that game, I
• 19:10
  start thinking about looking, you know, who's who's your
• 19:13
  buddy? He likes Chelsea players.
• 19:16
  Ryan. Slim got him.
• 19:18
  Got it. Yeah, I'll be.
• 19:19
  I'll be throwing down. What about?
• 19:22
  OK, what about this take? I have another one for you
• 19:25
  Maduweke, if someone offered you JV Doki right now.
• 19:28
  For do I have I have Maduweke. I'll I'll keep I'll keep Doku.
• 19:34
  Yeah, to me, I I ranked Doku. It's I think Chelsea's going to
• 19:38
  have another year where it's pretty inconsistent.
• 19:39
  That's I feel like this sixth goal is an anomaly.
• 19:42
  They're not going to be have this high-powered offense every
• 19:45
  week. Obviously that helps me.
• 19:46
  He played the wolves. But the good thing about
• 19:49
  Maduweke is that seems like a lot of the wingers Chelsea has
• 19:52
  usually play on the left side, so on the right side they don't
• 19:55
  have a lot of options. That's the plus side for
• 19:57
  Madhuika, I would say. But I'd rather go with Doku and
• 20:00
  the team that I trust more that's going to compete for the
• 20:02
  title. Enzo, do you feel the same?
• 20:04
  We should go doku over Madhuke after two weeks.
• 20:07
  After two weeks I'd go Madhuke just cause of what you see from
• 20:11
  Madhuweke Doku, he could get taken off at any point.
• 20:14
  You know, got Greenish, you've got Savino and you still got
• 20:16
  Bernardo Silva. Phil Foden hasn't played yet.
• 20:19
  He's been coming off the bench because fitness, fitness issues.
• 20:22
  When he comes back, where's he going to slow into that man's
• 20:24
  seaside? Who's going to come off?
• 20:26
  Yeah, if you're. If you're going to pull anyone
• 20:28
  off, you're going to pull Doku off at this point.
• 20:30
  All right, next. One on this is Nico Jackson.
• 20:33
  It's looking like no one else is coming to Chelsea.
• 20:35
  So if you if you knew that Chelsea wasn't going to get
• 20:39
  another striker, I think Jackson would have gone a lot higher in
• 20:43
  drafts, don't you think? Yeah, he's like, he's probably
• 20:47
  the one of the ones. He's one of the few players on
• 20:48
  that team where you're like, all right, he's starting.
• 20:51
  Yeah, he's, he's definitely starting, you know, I mean.
• 20:54
  I think there'll be games where I could see John Felix starting
• 20:56
  in that position or in cuckoo, but I think for the most part,
• 20:59
  against most teams, I think it's going to be Jackson.
• 21:03
  Yeah, the goal and assist this game, let's not forget about.
• 21:05
  Yeah, the goal and an assist. OK, So what about would you
• 21:08
  trade Cunya for Jackson? You had Cunya and someone not
• 21:14
  for Jude Jackson, would you? Take.
• 21:15
  I'd take Jackson. You take Jackson.
• 21:17
  What about your teeth now? You take Jackson or Lacuna.
• 21:19
  Yeah. Right now I would not.
• 21:23
  To me honestly though, Jackson was having a bad game until he
• 21:26
  scored that goal, which was complete reactionary.
• 21:29
  He just scored the goal in the first.
• 21:30
  Two minutes of the game. Yeah, and and then he had the
• 21:33
  assist to Palmer. I'm sorry he was having a bad
• 21:37
  game in spite of that goal until until the assist I thought he
• 21:41
  was having a bad game. He had a he had a 1V1 where he
• 21:44
  didn't even get a shot off. I feel like you just said
• 21:47
  Jackson hit it. I I feel like you're blinded by
• 21:50
  your I feel like you're blinded by your hate.
• 21:52
  No, I had it. I had it last year.
• 21:55
  We said Chelsea might not bring anyone in, but they could play
• 21:57
  in Cocoa on top, they could play Felix up top.
• 21:59
  So they do have other options as well.
• 22:00
  To me, Jackson, again, what aesthetically something is off
• 22:03
  there. He's going to be a lot of,
• 22:06
  you're going to have him have a lot of games where it's like one
• 22:09
  point, 4.5 points and then thirty points I.
• 22:12
  Really disagree on that one. OK, so this next one is
• 22:15
  interesting because he hasn't started.
• 22:17
  I don't think he started a game yet, but it's like he came on
• 22:21
  and he looks so much better than Martinelli.
• 22:22
  And that's Leandro Trustard, who came on for Arsenal and got the
• 22:27
  got the goal and just looked significantly better for them,
• 22:30
  wouldn't you say? No, he does.
• 22:31
  And I thought I've I've been saying this from from from last
• 22:35
  season. He should be starting over more
• 22:36
  Nelly. But the big worry about this is
• 22:39
  the the rumors of of Raheem Sterling.
• 22:42
  But I don't, I know that rumors. The only thing that will be
• 22:45
  holding him back from Arsenal is his wages.
• 22:49
  I think Sterling, I mean, yeah, I mean that's that's a whole
• 22:53
  other beast. You know, like you kind of have
• 22:55
  to. I I think that needs to heat up
• 22:56
  a little more before I even consider that put take that into
• 22:58
  my equation because as of right now it's all just so there's not
• 23:02
  much solid. Yeah, but I think I think so
• 23:05
  just looking at it from what we have, what the information we
• 23:07
  have. Are you, would you like, would
• 23:11
  you just be angling for Tricer, just assume that he's going to
• 23:13
  start taking over for Marinelli or not really No, because.
• 23:17
  I can't assume he's going to take over with Marinelli because
• 23:19
  I'll tell her is for for what he's done to certain players.
• 23:23
  He's still loyal to certain players, you know what I mean?
• 23:26
  Yeah, I think that's, I think that's valid.
• 23:28
  So if if someone had Marinelli, they offered you Charicerdon,
• 23:31
  well, who would you rather have? Charicer, Marinelli I.
• 23:33
  Don't know, don't want either. And that's not because I'm
• 23:35
  talking about literally because I'm not sure because we trust
• 23:39
  ours a headache because he we on the bench half the season and
• 23:41
  they'll come off the bench and score a goal and piss you off or
• 23:44
  Marinelli will play 72 minutes and not do nothing the whole
• 23:47
  game but get you five points. I think I would.
• 23:51
  I'd rather have Tricard because I know if Tricard is starting, I
• 23:54
  will put him on the lineup. If he's not starting, I'll just
• 23:56
  put him on the bench and get Martinelli.
• 23:59
  Even if it's starting out, I'll feel comfortable, confident
• 24:02
  playing game. Good logic.
• 24:03
  OK, I'll stick with that. All right then a couple more
• 24:06
  players on the keep trade section.
• 24:08
  These are just people out of the blue totally just like where the
• 24:11
  hell do they come from? First one Danny Welbeck 2 good
• 24:14
  games. Now we talked about them last
• 24:16
  week. I mean we, we said it's it's
• 24:18
  probably a short term thing, but in the short term just let it
• 24:22
  ride. But like, are you, does that
• 24:23
  mean you're, are you looking to ship off now if you have them?
• 24:28
  I picked them up of waivers, he said.
• 24:30
  Two good games. You could ship him off or you
• 24:33
  could. He's one of those good strikers
• 24:35
  I have throughout the season that if you need to put them in
• 24:38
  for when you know one, one player gets rested or not, he he
• 24:41
  he'll do a job for you and he's got a good chance of scoring a
• 24:44
  goal. He's not going to score you 20
• 24:45
  goals a season, but he could get you eight or ten with a couple
• 24:48
  assists, you know what I mean? Would you rather play Danny
• 24:53
  Welbeck against Arsenal or Kyle Havitz against Breton this week?
• 24:57
  Because that's the decision you're going to have to make,
• 24:59
  Enzo. Kai Havas against Brian so.
• 25:01
  You're going to stick with the guy that got one point last week
• 25:04
  over the guy got like 20? Who's who's who's.
• 25:07
  So it's they're playing against each other, right?
• 25:09
  Yeah. Arsenal's defense compared to
• 25:12
  the defense he's been playing against.
• 25:13
  He's what? He scored a goal against
• 25:15
  Manchester United. All right, all right, all right.
• 25:17
  You're right, it's probably the right thing, but.
• 25:19
  It just if it was, if it was a different no, it doesn't feel
• 25:22
  good at all. That's why I'm asking.
• 25:25
  Any thoughts on Welbeck Chico? I think just right the wave,
• 25:28
  that's about it. I would sell high it.
• 25:31
  Would sell high. I think, I think right now he's
• 25:33
  a player that if you attach it as a package for like a
• 25:36
  blockbuster trade and you add a piece, that could kind of shift
• 25:39
  the trade. Yeah, I think that's a really
• 25:41
  good way to look at it too. OK, what about Adama Troy?
• 25:44
  How to really get had another solid game for Fulham?
• 25:48
  He's actually looked pretty good for Fulham.
• 25:51
  Like he looks like, it looks like Marcus Silva's trying to
• 25:53
  like actually kind of getting a lot more out of him than other
• 25:55
  managers have been able to do. I know he's like one of the most
• 25:58
  infuriating players to watch. Sometimes he does the most
• 26:00
  amazing thing and then sometimes I don't know what happens.
• 26:04
  You mean the amazing thing of how good he dribbles all the way
• 26:07
  down to the byline and then slices the ball out for a goal
• 26:09
  kick? Yeah, he does.
• 26:12
  He's he'll miss. Look, you're going to assist for
• 26:14
  Fulham, and that was against Leicester.
• 26:17
  Was against Leicester. Yeah.
• 26:19
  We've known him from when he was at Wolves.
• 26:21
  We see him at Barcelona, we see him at all these different teams
• 26:24
  and the same thing is they said he's a big, strong guy that runs
• 26:28
  really quickly, but his end product is terrible.
• 26:30
  If he can get down the control, yeah, we'll see.
• 26:33
  He's. He's he's going to be like a
• 26:34
  monster if he can get that under control.
• 26:36
  Oh, ridiculous. He claims that he doesn't work
• 26:40
  out, he doesn't do weights. Do you guys believe him or no?
• 26:43
  I don't know, maybe. Am I going to argue with that
• 26:46
  man? He's just not much of A.
• 26:47
  He's just not much of A yeah, he's that much of a specimen of
• 26:51
  humankind. He's just he.
• 26:52
  Says it's just good. He's like if I do weights he
• 26:55
  gets like supposedly too swallow and he can't play.
• 26:58
  This is the guy that puts baby oil on his arms so no one can
• 27:01
  grab him. Yeah, I'm not going to argue
• 27:03
  with this guy, Rose. He's another.
• 27:06
  He looks like Debo. OK, yeah, I'm not freaking what
• 27:10
  you've got for me. Oh yeah, what about Thomas C?
• 27:14
  Check. Sad.
• 27:14
  What? Two good games now?
• 27:16
  210 plus point games. We were not seeing this.
• 27:18
  We were talking about how we didn't think he was going to
• 27:20
  even start on this West End team.
• 27:22
  Exactly. The hell is is all of a sudden
• 27:25
  last season it was out of favour.
• 27:26
  New magic comes in and it's amazing what a new magic can do,
• 27:30
  you know what I mean? Like comes in, he's all right.
• 27:32
  You're, you're, you're now my guy, JWP, he's still on the
• 27:35
  bench for two games. Don't even come off.
• 27:37
  What the hell? That like that sounded personal.
• 27:41
  It's. Very personal.
• 27:42
  I picked up JWP early. Yeah, when I get a fifth round,
• 27:46
  something like that. I think earlier than that, yeah,
• 27:48
  4th. Rounds fucking early.
• 27:50
  Yeah, I'm I'm in the, I'm in the South Sea track camp.
• 27:52
  What do you think? I think the same thing T goes,
• 27:54
  but I think I I'd invest a piece in another trade.
• 27:57
  Yeah, I think so. JWP, we don't know what's
• 27:59
  happening. I think he can.
• 28:00
  Easily go there, he can easily start the next game.
• 28:03
  JWP. You think so because I there's
• 28:05
  rooms of them getting traded. Yeah.
• 28:07
  But we talked about this. I think any trade for JWP is
• 28:10
  going to benefit him. Yeah.
• 28:12
  But I think there's like an 80% chance a trade is good for him
• 28:16
  and like a 20% chance it's not good for him, you know what I
• 28:19
  mean? Just don't go to my United, that
• 28:21
  kind of my United. Oof, is that an option?
• 28:24
  I don't know, but it's only team like for some reason.
• 28:26
  I don't know why that's. Where that's where good players
• 28:29
  go to die. Yeah, because they they got rid
• 28:31
  of what? They got rid of McDonald, You
• 28:32
  know what I mean? Like so.
• 28:35
  Everyone wants to be united, just not everyone has chosen.
• 28:40
  Everyone wants to be united until they get there and they
• 28:42
  start sucking and then they don't want to be united.
• 28:44
  Yeah. Let's move on quickly.
• 28:47
  All right, a couple other names. Just thoughts.
• 28:51
  Are you getting, are you getting rid of these guys or not yet?
• 28:54
  Darwin Dunez, you're trying to get rid of them.
• 28:56
  You're trying to do something. At this point, you just hold on.
• 28:58
  It's hoping that this turns around.
• 29:01
  Depends on when you pick them up.
• 29:02
  You don't buy it for the yet. I mean, you picked him up in the
• 29:05
  second round, I mean. So you don't get rid of him yet?
• 29:09
  Because you're not getting any value.
• 29:10
  You're not going to get any value for him.
• 29:12
  At all. Ouch.
• 29:14
  OK, what about Kiri Trippier Tico?
• 29:16
  I would love to. I was actually looking to
• 29:18
  trading for him to see who I could attach to just to get it.
• 29:22
  Because there's also risk that Tripper might still leave for
• 29:25
  Saudi Saudi League. But I to me, it's worth the
• 29:29
  gamble. With the gamble.
• 29:30
  Yeah, it's just I liked who owns them in our main league and I
• 29:33
  just gave up on the trade options right away.
• 29:35
  So who's that, Derek? Oh yeah, Derek doesn't trade, I
• 29:42
  think. I mean, the the thing with chip
• 29:43
  here is if you go to Saudi, you're screwed.
• 29:45
  But if you go to Everton, great. You still might be screwed.
• 29:49
  I think you still get, I mean, it'll be a downgrade on
• 29:52
  Newcastle just from clean, cheap points I think.
• 29:54
  But I still think Everton, you know what Everton loves with the
• 29:57
  balls in the box? Yeah, but I don't think he'll
• 29:59
  get the same points to go out at Newcastle because he had what,
• 30:02
  like Joe Lennon and Isaac to aim at, you know?
• 30:05
  It'll be it'll be less than Newcastle, but it won't be bad.
• 30:08
  It'll still be probably better than most offenders.
• 30:11
  He would still be like a mustard defender.
• 30:14
  Yeah, I think it's, I think it's still be a top 10 defender.
• 30:17
  And then we'll lay in even more goals in my right back, to be
• 30:20
  honest. Yeah.
• 30:21
  He don't defend so. Yeah, but ever choose the other
• 30:24
  Everton right back? It's like Seamus Coleman who's
• 30:26
  like 38. It's not like he's like a
• 30:27
  downgrade in in age or ability. Yeah, but Seamus Coleman is a
• 30:31
  better better defender in the use.
• 30:34
  Okay, what about we talked about Walkins and then JP Enzo, same
• 30:37
  thing, you just holding on? For their life just.
• 30:41
  Gripping with your fingernails, Yeah.
• 30:42
  Yeah, you know what I mean. Fuck me anyway, Yeah, JWP is a
• 30:46
  that was a big surprise for me in the first two games of the
• 30:49
  season. Perfectly honest.
• 30:50
  I'm like moving on to another subject is just the, the rise of
• 30:53
  offenders. It feels like there's been a lot
• 30:55
  of points getting scored by defenders this year.
• 30:56
  I think it's, is it, do you think as is it all to do with
• 30:59
  the first goal conceded point change the, the, the rule change
• 31:03
  that kind of did it? Do you think there's just a a
• 31:05
  dearth of goals being scored by defenders and a dearth of high
• 31:09
  points right now? I don't think it's the first
• 31:11
  goal thing, because the first goal thing's what -2 And you've
• 31:14
  still got defenders scoring and you know, 1214 points I.
• 31:18
  Mean Anthony, Anthony Robinson's been unreal.
• 31:22
  Romero had 30 plus points last week.
• 31:25
  You know, Korani, Kilman, Pedro Poros up there, a lot of
• 31:29
  defenders. I feel like all of a sudden
• 31:30
  they're like back to, you know, being relevant again.
• 31:34
  You know the two top goal scorers for Tony right now.
• 31:38
  I mean point scores. Romero and Lambasaka, I don't
• 31:43
  know. Poro poro and.
• 31:45
  Then what about some of these these defenders, these names,
• 31:47
  who who, who's the most interesting to you between these
• 31:49
  names? Ian Batson, Javier Moreno from
• 31:54
  That's just what's a Forest, Collins that's about the
• 31:58
  Bradford player that's had two good games now, or Necco
• 32:00
  Williams from Forest as well. Necco Williams has had two very
• 32:05
  consistent games. I think he scored the same
• 32:06
  points in both. He's interesting.
• 32:10
  Do I think he's going to do that every week?
• 32:12
  I think it's like 14 point Tigo. You can check this.
• 32:15
  I think he's got the same same points both games but both in
• 32:19
  double figures. I think he's interested in this
• 32:21
  new Norton Forest team. Matson if he starts is very
• 32:25
  interesting because but Ding Dinger has been looking good on
• 32:29
  that left hand side. But I'll be out of those two for
• 32:31
  me. So Williams scored first game
• 32:36
  13.25, second game 16 points. So those are two great goals and
• 32:41
  all the games and one of them, only one of them, he had a clean
• 32:43
  sheet. Yeah, I like Moreno.
• 32:46
  I know he's on waivers. He went to Forest.
• 32:48
  I think that could be potentially a good pick up.
• 32:51
  We'll see how he fits in with Forest.
• 32:52
  Obviously they're going to be giving up more goals.
• 32:55
  But to me, I like Moreno and also just kind of the going from
• 32:59
  a bigger club to this one. I think he could have an impact.
• 33:01
  We kind of talked about Collins last week and saying, oh, we
• 33:05
  need to see him do it a few more times before we really give that
• 33:07
  much of a shit. Nathan Collins, he'd done it now
• 33:10
  twice. So, you know, 11.516, those are
• 33:14
  great. Two great scores for the
• 33:16
  Bradford defender and they play a pretty soft team next week
• 33:19
  too. If I remember correctly.
• 33:21
  I think it's Southampton. Oh man, pick him up.
• 33:24
  So that's, that's, that's pretty interesting to me.
• 33:27
  I have a question for you guys. Would you guys rather put five
• 33:30
  points for Kilman or try to go for one of these guys for less
• 33:34
  points? What's interesting with Kilman
• 33:36
  is that I think they play city. Does West End play city?
• 33:39
  I'm pretty sure I. Think they do?
• 33:41
  Yeah. So I mean, I think long term
• 33:44
  I'm, I'm much more bullish on Kilman, but I think short term
• 33:47
  city, short term Collins probably.
• 33:51
  So I think from a foul perspective I'd probably go
• 33:53
  after Kilman not thinking I I'd have to start him this week.
• 33:56
  But you you probably want to go for Kilman this week anyway,
• 33:59
  just to hold on. Probably half.
• 34:00
  I mean, you're going to someone's going to get him this
• 34:02
  week. Yeah, you have to.
• 34:03
  Go to him this week like 5 fat points right I'm.
• 34:06
  Not going to tell you, but probably a little more than
• 34:09
  that. A lot more than that.
• 34:11
  Think of. So much more.
• 34:12
  I'm thinking 50. Get that out of here. 50 bytes.
• 34:19
  Silly Pedex. I see 51 bit from UT come and
• 34:23
  lock my ass off. I need a defender.
• 34:25
  I'm desperate. All right, another thought is
• 34:29
  talking goalkeepers. We have not literally, but we've
• 34:32
  barely spoken about goalkeepers this whole season, guys.
• 34:34
  And you know, I think that's partially because we think it's
• 34:38
  kind of a that position. It's kind of random, you know,
• 34:42
  so it's it's just not worth a ton of our time or time of our
• 34:45
  thought or interest. And it's just kind of we all
• 34:47
  like to play the waivers. With that being said, ends up
• 34:50
  out of a really good point that of the what the five
• 34:52
  goalkeepers, four of them went undrafted early of the top five.
• 34:56
  Yep. Two of them.
• 34:59
  Two of them. No, there's like 4/4 were not on
• 35:03
  a team on our side. Raya is the number one keeper,
• 35:05
  not surprised there with the clean sheet and then two and
• 35:08
  three, it's from Brentford, March Flakin 25.25 Then there's
• 35:12
  NATO from Bournemouth 23.75, Nick Pope who I drafted 21.5 and
• 35:18
  then there's Allison. So from the top five
• 35:23
  goalkeepers, only three of them are from big clubs I would say.
• 35:27
  OK, but how about this? Of the top ten goalkeepers, only
• 35:31
  three of them were drafted. Yeah, that's pretty interesting.
• 35:36
  So I mean, I guess the question more is like, are you, when do
• 35:38
  you, when do you start making changes to that position, to the
• 35:41
  goalkeeper position? I think you'd do it on the match
• 35:44
  up. So if I go, if I honestly, if I
• 35:46
  got a goalkeeper, unless it's like Rye are one of the top
• 35:48
  goalkeepers and I'm going against Man C, one of those high
• 35:52
  scoring teams, Arsenal even I'm I'm going to look for a for a
• 35:57
  trade up. Yeah, I think so too.
• 35:59
  I think I'm going to be pretty flexible.
• 36:01
  I mean, I'm looking at like Mark Flecken and being like, oh, he's
• 36:04
  had two good games and he plays Southampton next week.
• 36:07
  Come on. That's pretty good.
• 36:09
  Yeah, Come on. So.
• 36:11
  What I would say is Leno, who's available from Fulham, he had
• 36:16
  9.25 points and 7.25 points and in previous years he was, he's
• 36:21
  averaged over seven points, nine points last year, eight points
• 36:23
  and they're this coming week, they're playing Ipswich City or
• 36:27
  Town. Yeah, it's up sound.
• 36:28
  Yeah. So that's someone else that's
• 36:31
  probably clean sheet and a must start as well.
• 36:33
  That's a really good shot as well.
• 36:34
  I think there's some, I think there's some like edge to be
• 36:37
  hard by switching your goalkeepers now and not getting
• 36:40
  too stuck on someone who you think is good, like an Edison,
• 36:44
  you know, even like a. Edison, huh?
• 36:48
  Yeah. The also a favorite of ours,
• 36:51
  Mirage, who we talk about, you know, the busy keeper gets the
• 36:55
  points -4 points. But again, that was against
• 36:58
  City. Let it four goals.
• 37:01
  I wanted to call this out. I think I'm off the America
• 37:03
  experience. I think I no longer am a fan.
• 37:07
  Off that mistake you make. I mean, it's not the first time
• 37:10
  he's done stuff like that. And I just think that the
• 37:12
  keeper, the only reason he was good for bringing last year was
• 37:14
  the volume of shots. Yeah.
• 37:16
  And I just don't think that. I just don't I just don't think
• 37:20
  that he's going to be anywhere near what he was for that not a
• 37:23
  singable and then last season. It's not it's not it's not
• 37:26
  attainable. It's not sustainable for sure.
• 37:29
  So I'm not I'm not jumping on that, especially after last
• 37:32
  week. All righty then.
• 37:33
  Well, this has been thanks for joining us.
• 37:35
  This has been episode 54 of Dropped Offsides and we will see
• 37:39
  you later this week. We're starting, we're starting
• 37:50
  with the positive, right? OK, that's a lot.
• 37:52
  I think feel like there's a lot of positive.
• 37:55
  I too, I can't believe we did it.
• 37:59
  It, it, it feels like, like we're in Ocean's 11 after they
• 38:04
  robbed the bank and they're all at the casino and they're like
• 38:05
  watching the waterfall. No, the the fountain.
• 38:07
  The Fountain. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 38:09
  That's how that's how I feel. It was, I'm not going to lie,
• 38:13
  there was a point. I think Tico said it.
• 38:15
  I think it was Sunday morning where we, it was like we'd never
• 38:17
  known where this was before. We were confused or what to do.
• 38:21
  Yeah, we, we, all of us lost our cool.
• 38:24
  Yeah, we should. We.
• 38:25
  Should have been men. We should have been.
• 38:28
  Maybe one day we'll get there. OK, so if anyone's wondering, we
• 38:32
  won a 16 parlay this week. And the teams that the games
• 38:36
  that have in front of us, it was West Ham to be Crystal Palace,
• 38:39
  which was plus 210, Fulham to beat Leicester City, which is
• 38:43
  -135, Tottenham to beat Everton, which is -235, Chelsea to beat
• 38:48
  Wolves, which is -140, Arsenal to beat Villa which is -120 and
• 38:54
  City to beat Ipswich was just -1000 It's a lot of games.
• 38:58
  So we bet a total of $30 to win How much, 767?
• 39:03
  You know, sound like that. Yeah, almost 770.
• 39:06
  That is a huge parlay. That's a huge parlay.
• 39:08
  It's. A huge parlay are.
• 39:10
  We officially are we officially professional gamblers now.
• 39:13
  We win, we win. We do a three-game parlay this
• 39:15
  week, we win again. I say yes.
• 39:17
  Yes, okay, we got to win. Turn around you.
• 39:19
  Got to win turn a row because this.
• 39:20
  Last year was our practice. Last year was our practice year.
• 39:23
  This year we're off to a great start.
• 39:25
  We. Were close last year.
• 39:26
  Can I, can I just be very clear, there's a few weeks where we
• 39:29
  were very close, where Enzo said bet on Tottenham we shouldn't
• 39:31
  have. I don't remember ever, literally
• 39:35
  I don't remember ever not being done by the first game last
• 39:38
  year. That's why my memory last year
• 39:40
  is we literally would make these parlors and the first game would
• 39:42
  be like, and it's over. So, so wait, wait, wait.
• 39:45
  The first game would, but then the game's after we got right.
• 39:47
  It was just going a little bit too far, OK, You know what I
• 39:50
  mean? But yeah, that was that was
• 39:52
  exhilarating. And so it all came out of the
• 39:53
  Chelsea game. And so we were losing.
• 39:55
  We were kind of losing our minds.
• 39:56
  And that game was really good and really dramatic.
• 39:58
  So it made it even more. Crazy because because I was like
• 40:02
  was I was like, Chelsea, just do it.
• 40:03
  Just do it, Chelsea. So it was, it was back and
• 40:05
  forth. It was dramatic and.
• 40:08
  It was good man six game. Six game parlour.
• 40:10
  That was a big one. Next one we do, we do.
• 40:13
  Next one we're really short. 10 gang all of them.
• 40:15
  I don't know. So we literally made that part
• 40:18
  of life thinking OK, after we lose this, pretty much we were
• 40:21
  like, OK, after we lose this one this week, we're going to go to
• 40:23
  three and try and build up. Like that was like our mentality
• 40:26
  last week. This was our ridiculous part
• 40:28
  Labor like, you know what, let's get this loss out of the way,
• 40:30
  then we can like Weld that out. Three team partly, so you'd say.
• 40:34
  It was so good. That's sad.
• 40:35
  It was great. That was like that one result, 2
• 40:37
  results, 3 results. Like, yes, I'm not going to lie,
• 40:40
  when it goes came back to the Chelsea result, I was like all.
• 40:43
  Right. So we're that was that's the big
• 40:45
  news. That was our big, big moment,
• 40:46
  right? There was there was another
• 40:48
  there was another big news. It was called making out like a
• 40:52
  fucking bandit. Daylight robbery.
• 40:54
  Some commissioner like wink wink nudge nudge under the table shit
• 41:00
  I. I don't think it had anything to
• 41:01
  do with me being commissioner. That trade you're talking about,
• 41:04
  you're referring to the trade. Is that what you're referring
• 41:06
  to? So let's say what the trade was
• 41:09
  to. Yeah, yeah.
• 41:11
  What's the trade, Keith? Wait, before we tell the exact
• 41:14
  trade, I think we should provide some context about this trade.
• 41:17
  Context is the trade. Context is the trade.
• 41:19
  That's that's the whole context. No, no, no, there's more to it
• 41:22
  that you guys are leaving out that are going to make me look
• 41:24
  like a villain here. Oh, OK, you took him out to
• 41:26
  dinner. You try to explain yourself and
• 41:28
  dig your hole a little bit deeper and then say the trade.
• 41:31
  OK so guy, our league was very unhappy with his first round
• 41:36
  pick of Odegard. He makes it very clear in the
• 41:38
  chat. Chico and Enzo, like the
• 41:41
  buffoons they are, start sending them disrespectful low ball
• 41:45
  offers. Me, like the gentleman I am,
• 41:48
  sends him a very enticing offer that he's interested in.
• 41:51
  What is that offer? What is the fuck?
• 41:52
  No no no, you're saying we will be disrespectful.
• 41:55
  Your trade was pretty much a slack on the vase.
• 41:57
  Well, listen, let me finish you guys.
• 41:59
  I sent him, I sent him an offer. He we were he responded, said,
• 42:03
  hey, like this is really close to what I'm looking for, but
• 42:05
  it's not quite right. I said, OK, that's fair.
• 42:08
  Then I, I literally made a menu. I said, hey, here are three
• 42:11
  different options of authors. Tell me which one of these
• 42:15
  interests you the most. The first one was pretty much
• 42:18
  recreate Martin Odegard in the aggregate.
• 42:22
  And it was like Pedro Nets O'Brien and Bueno and like Emil
• 42:24
  Smith row from Martin Odegard, something like that, some shred
• 42:26
  like that. The second one was, I'll give
• 42:29
  you KDB if you give me Martin Odegard and like one other
• 42:32
  player. And the third was I'll give you,
• 42:36
  I have the waiver priority. So I, I have first pick.
• 42:39
  I haven't used it. If Joe Felix or Aussie may come
• 42:43
  to Chelsea, I'll give you one of them in exchange for Odegard and
• 42:47
  I'll, and I'll give you also another piece, one of them and
• 42:49
  another piece for Odegard. He says, I would like to make
• 42:53
  that third choice. I like Joe Felix and I would, I
• 42:56
  would like him on my team and I will trade Odegard for him.
• 43:00
  And I said great, why not? So you led him to the fire and
• 43:06
  then poured gasoline on top of it?
• 43:09
  No, I think I, I think I, I built a beautiful world and he
• 43:12
  hung himself in that world. It's not my fault.
• 43:19
  I like that, I like that. No, I mean, I, I created, I
• 43:23
  created the space for him to make the his own decision.
• 43:25
  And his decision happened to be super beneficial for me.
• 43:28
  But he's, he's very happy with it.
• 43:30
  And he made it very clear he was very happy with that chair.
• 43:33
  Hey Keith, out of curiosity, which club do you support?
• 43:38
  What does that have to do anything?
• 43:39
  I'm just. Asking.
• 43:40
  He's asked. I see your question.
• 43:42
  I support, I support the Premier League as a as a league.
• 43:46
  I see. Which team from the that
• 43:49
  institution do you support? I support.
• 43:51
  Chelsea. So that's what.
• 43:52
  You're doing. And the person you traded with
• 43:55
  who? What team does that person have
• 43:56
  to support? He supports Chelsea.
• 43:59
  Interesting what? Interesting.
• 44:01
  OK, well, you're, you're just, you're drawing some, you're
• 44:04
  drawing some strange connections.
• 44:05
  What does that have to do with making a trade?
• 44:07
  There's because there's collusion there.
• 44:09
  We Chelsea there because Chelsea has a history of, you know.
• 44:14
  Violating financial fair play. So anyways, the trade was trade
• 44:21
  was Martin Odegard for Joe Felix and Daishi Kamada.
• 44:25
  Dude so bad. But that's, you know, accusation
• 44:29
  #1 the second one, Keith, I send you a screenshot.
• 44:33
  I send you a screenshot of the standing where I'm second or
• 44:36
  third. I'm leading my .8 points.
• 44:39
  I go to sleep, I wake up, all of a sudden I'm in 3rd place.
• 44:43
  My my points went down by two whole points.
• 44:45
  What do you think about yourself?
• 44:46
  What do you think the likely situation there is?
• 44:48
  So there was a point adjustment or that I went in and meddled
• 44:51
  with the the stats and then like.
• 44:54
  He didn't say he meddled the stats.
• 44:56
  He did not say you very stats. What?
• 44:58
  Was he saying that? He put you on, that is exactly.
• 45:00
  What I'm saying, he's going. In and manually changing the
• 45:03
  scores do you think I do you think I'm I literally have no
• 45:06
  interest in meddling with the stats on fan tracks no some
• 45:10
  point correction that just happened to be very funny
• 45:12
  because you're trying to rub it in my face and.
• 45:14
  Karma's a bitch. It's alright, I'm still
• 45:18
  undefeated. 2 and O Keith, what's your record?
• 45:20
  I, I-22 and O. Both.
• 45:22
  What's your record? I'm Owen to the other way
• 45:25
  around.
