• 0:07
  I've done my sentence but committed no crime.
• 0:14
  I've had mistakes, I've made a few.
• 0:21
  I've had my shaft shack into my face.
• 0:30
  Oh my God, I hate you. I hate.
• 0:34
  You no. Why are you doing this?
• 0:41
  When did you get that made? Little cousin.
• 0:45
  Oh my God, he knows the guy. Is he even going to show up
• 0:49
  today? We just got to just look at this
• 0:50
  for the whole, the whole. Hour.
• 0:52
  I don't know man. Can you, can we, can we hurry up
• 0:57
  please? Hopefully he comes on this, he's
• 1:01
  like, he has this, he has this like rehearsed.
• 1:03
  Yeah, he does. He's been doing it all day.
• 1:05
  He's been one. He's been he's.
• 1:06
  Been thinking about that. For like 5 games.
• 1:12
  Oh, I hate you. Hello everyone.
• 1:16
  Hello and welcome to episode 88 of Draft Offsides.
• 1:19
  I'm with Tico Enzo. My name is Keith and
• 1:23
  congratulations to Tico, our league winner.
• 1:25
  We are covering the last few, the last two weeks of the
• 1:29
  season. We're gonna talk through some
• 1:31
  stuff and just some kind of strats.
• 1:34
  I think. I think from waivers standpoint
• 1:35
  right now, it's just you're just trying to ride the hot hand.
• 1:38
  Anyone who's been scoring and feeling good.
• 1:40
  And you got to think psychologically, some of these
• 1:42
  teams are just checked out on the beach.
• 1:45
  Other teams really playing for something.
• 1:46
  So you gotta really think about that.
• 1:48
  So let's get into games. Let's just kick it off.
• 1:50
  First one, Spur 0 Palace 2 Enzo, do you want to just give up like
• 1:57
  a few words or do you think it doesn't even matter do?
• 1:59
  You even care? I don't think it matters.
• 2:00
  He didn't even fucking put out a full line up.
• 2:03
  The only thing that was key in this game was Cooler got injured
• 2:07
  in 20 minutes. Besides that, Palace put out a
• 2:11
  full team and they deserve the win. 2 nil.
• 2:15
  Eze 26 points and a brace. He looked very good.
• 2:19
  He's it's going to be so he was last year was going at the end
• 2:23
  of the first or like first few picks of the second.
• 2:26
  I think he probably stays right about in those that position.
• 2:29
  Yeah, I think that's probably where he is.
• 2:32
  Kinski 18.5 points is that that's the keeper.
• 2:35
  That's the keeper, so we didn't even play you.
• 2:37
  Know. Sorry, Keeper.
• 2:39
  So he had 18.5 points in the LED in two goals.
• 2:41
  So that says a lot about the the pressure he was under.
• 2:45
  Yep. So it's a lot about Tottenham.
• 2:47
  Yeah, Gwahee 15.75 Richards 15.75 S the Crystal Palace
• 2:51
  defenders stepped up yeah, that cool injury you talked about
• 2:55
  Spurs officially in 17th place. Is there a?
• 2:57
  Is there a chance for? What's the difference between
• 2:59
  them and? United 1 point.
• 3:01
  It's a one point difference. It's it's a one point difference
• 3:04
  from 13 to 17. Like one point each.
• 3:06
  So oh. Interesting.
• 3:08
  So there could still be some movement.
• 3:11
  I mean, if you spend like both of these guys, both of these
• 3:13
  made United and Spurs, it's like these games don't matter.
• 3:17
  They're just, and it's not even, I don't even think the morale
• 3:19
  can be that shattered because they're just so focused on
• 3:22
  Europa League. No one cares but feels like no
• 3:24
  one gives a shit. I mean, yeah, I think especially
• 3:27
  for Spurs, they probably know next year they're gonna have a
• 3:29
  different manager, so who cares? They don't need to, like,
• 3:31
  impress the current manager. Yeah, and also that's true.
• 3:33
  I don't know if it's at this point it's relevant or not, but
• 3:35
  James Madison is dumb for the year he's injured, that's all.
• 3:39
  So, yeah, so. Yeah, so interesting,
• 3:44
  interesting stuff. I think Palace has been kind of
• 3:46
  a surprise in the second-half of the season.
• 3:49
  You know, they've really stepped it up.
• 3:50
  Chris Richards, some of these guys are really just like
• 3:52
  looking so, so strong. What do we think?
• 3:55
  So Daniel Munez, 24 points as well.
• 3:58
  He had a very solid 1. Ishmael SAR, 12.75 Mateta 11/5.
• 4:02
  I mean I'm counting 12345678 players that had 10 plus points
• 4:07
  in this game. They had a field day.
• 4:10
  Two players with 25 plus at most.
• 4:12
  Yeah. So bit of a bit of a massacre.
• 4:17
  OK Next game, Fulham won. Everton 3.
• 4:19
  Fulham scored first in this game with a nice relevant his header.
• 4:24
  It really, I think I almost texted you on the side because
• 4:27
  our boy looked good with that goal.
• 4:28
  But Everton kind of stormed back and Fulham just feels like
• 4:31
  they've kind of lost the plot a little bit last few weeks.
• 4:34
  Well, no, they don't have any rich teams anymore.
• 4:36
  So they're giving, they're giving everything back.
• 4:38
  They're. Giving everything back.
• 4:39
  I was surprised too. They only have one win in the
• 4:41
  last five. Keene scored a goal, so he had
• 4:42
  21.5 points. Good for him.
• 4:45
  I mean, who knows if he's going to be there next season.
• 4:48
  He's kind of lost the starting spot.
• 4:50
  You know, he's kind of like not as relevant.
• 4:53
  No, I do have an autographed card of his, so I kind of always
• 4:57
  like Keene. It's worth about $3 because he's
• 5:00
  not that relevant, but it's kind of cool.
• 5:03
  Beto 19 points, got a goals two games.
• 5:07
  Of the rules. Two games, two goals.
• 5:09
  That was one. That was one of my waiver risks.
• 5:10
  Yep. I also want to shout out our
• 5:14
  favorite one of my favorite players I hate, Emil Smith Rowe
• 5:16
  was involved for the Fulham goal.
• 5:20
  So. You think he's going to still be
• 5:21
  there next season? Yeah, he'll be there next
• 5:23
  season. He'll be there because where
• 5:24
  does he go? I mean, who's going to want him?
• 5:26
  It's not like I don't think he's been exactly lighting it up, I
• 5:28
  think. But I think you could.
• 5:29
  You got to say that he's been a little bit of a bummer, yeah.
• 5:31
  Signing for them what they paid for him and stuff.
• 5:33
  I think all the Arsenal X signings have been pre horrible
• 5:37
  in their new teams. Yeah, it's like the the inverse
• 5:40
  of Manchester United where all the Manchester United players go
• 5:42
  somewhere and like excel and all the Arsenal players go there and
• 5:45
  kind of underwhelm. Yep.
• 5:48
  I think I'm trying to think of the last Arsenal player that was
• 5:51
  bad for them and it was good somewhere else.
• 5:54
  It's like Alex Iwobi. Alex Iwobi.
• 5:57
  Like has there really been someone that like left there and
• 6:00
  has been good? William Gallas.
• 6:03
  Well, that was so long ago. Maybe Bellerin kind of went to
• 6:06
  Is he Aunt Bettis? No, he started.
• 6:07
  He started. He started modeling.
• 6:10
  Yeah, maybe. Now he's Ryan Books.
• 6:13
  Respect it, respect the hustle. Giroux, I feel like he will.
• 6:17
  Yeah, he was better outside. Yeah, he was outside better.
• 6:20
  But but I also feel like he was almost like too good for them.
• 6:23
  Like they didn't. They didn't realize.
• 6:24
  What they had, they didn't deserve.
• 6:25
  Him, Yeah. They didn't deserve him.
• 6:26
  Like they, they didn't think. They thought that he wasn't good
• 6:29
  enough for them. And he went on to prove that he
• 6:30
  was. Yeah.
• 6:30
  They were always trying to find a better striker when they had
• 6:32
  it, yeah. Exactly, and they didn't
• 6:34
  appreciate what he did for the team.
• 6:36
  OK, next game, Newcastle to Chelsea 0.
• 6:39
  This one stung. Newcastle scored early.
• 6:42
  They were really dominant in that first half.
• 6:45
  Nicholas Jackson freaking Kung Fu elbowed some the the defender
• 6:52
  and got a red card in the 35th minute.
• 6:54
  And that just really screwed up Chelsea.
• 6:56
  And even though they looked, even though Chelsea looked
• 6:58
  pretty good in the second-half, they they actually played really
• 7:01
  well in the second-half with 10 men.
• 7:02
  But it just they couldn't break down a really well organized
• 7:05
  Newcastle team with 10 men game ended up 10.
• 7:08
  So it's a total drag. Dan Byrne 23 points, got the
• 7:12
  assist on the oh, sorry, game ended 20 because Bruno Bruno
• 7:14
  Gumrah scored at the very end. But Dan Byrne got 23 points and
• 7:18
  got the assist on the second goal to Nali got the first goal,
• 7:20
  18 points. He's had a really strong
• 7:22
  second-half of the season. Murphy's 60.25 points, got an
• 7:26
  assist. Livamento 15.25 points, man, a
• 7:29
  lot of a lot of high scores. Anthony Gordon got the start,
• 7:32
  but was very, very, very underwhelming.
• 7:35
  It was pretty shut down. So that's interesting.
• 7:40
  Yeah, it's like you think, but he'll start next season.
• 7:43
  I think it's just because it's the end of the season and Barnes
• 7:45
  is the hot hand. It always seemed like Barnes was
• 7:48
  going to be in the backup. Yeah, I think, I mean, you, when
• 7:52
  Anthony Gordon came back, you were, you weren't going to just
• 7:54
  sub him in because Barnes had been scoring goals.
• 7:56
  And so it took, what it took was him not scoring for a few games
• 8:00
  and then to to put him back in. I will say, though, I think
• 8:03
  Newcastle really surprised Chelsea with their lineup.
• 8:04
  They wanted the back three and they had wingbacks.
• 8:06
  They had, they had Murphy playing as a wingback in this
• 8:08
  game, you know, and then and then they had like Gordon and
• 8:11
  Barnes underneath Isaac. So it's just I think the
• 8:14
  difference in lineup really took Chelsea by surprise.
• 8:18
  Keith, I was surprised you left your Newcastle players on the
• 8:20
  bench. Was it just kind of like a
• 8:22
  Chelsea fan? Yeah, it was a little biased.
• 8:25
  I mean it literally it cost me the matchup, yeah, leaving burn
• 8:28
  on the bench. But I just felt like there was I
• 8:29
  thought there was going to be more in this game just because
• 8:31
  they both needed goals. And if if I thought if Newcastle
• 8:34
  scored early that Chelsea would really push.
• 8:36
  You're trying to get one. And Chelsea's been scoring a lot
• 8:37
  of goals recently. Yeah.
• 8:39
  And then like, and the alternatives were matchups I
• 8:41
  thought were better, like full inverse.
• 8:43
  Like full inverse Everton in my mind, I thought would be a lower
• 8:46
  scoring game than it was. I didn't think full let 3IN.
• 8:48
  Well, so you had a forced defender against Leicester City
• 8:51
  debt that they let into. Yeah.
• 8:53
  So that, yeah. Makes sense, yeah.
• 8:55
  I think the match ups for me, it just it felt like there were
• 8:57
  stronger match ups elsewhere, but it bit me in the ass
• 9:00
  totally. I totally but but but just I
• 9:03
  just can't make a right decision right now.
• 9:05
  Every decision I make is wrong. So one of those I'm just kind of
• 9:08
  used to it just rolling with the punches.
• 9:10
  Very underwhelming game for Palmer 5.5 points not so did
• 9:13
  barely anything. I mean most of the attacking
• 9:15
  players, it's kind of understood.
• 9:17
  I think that red card just. Yeah, Matter.
• 9:19
  Wacky didn't do too much. Yeah, I think killed the game.
• 9:22
  Yeah, that red card killed the game.
• 9:23
  That also killed my my matchup. I lost my 4 points and Jackson
• 9:27
  got -6 point. Five, do we think that the way
• 9:31
  the year is ending is dropping Cole Palmer's stock for next
• 9:35
  year's draft or you guys aren't really factory factoring in
• 9:37
  house? I think it will slightly, I
• 9:40
  think, I think he will say, I think you're drafting us all
• 9:42
  ahead of Cole Palmer now. I would.
• 9:44
  Yeah, because coming into the year, I feel like a lot of
• 9:47
  people had them like top three to five after the Bruno Holland
• 9:50
  Saka. Yeah, but when you're looking at
• 9:53
  it, the last sentence, January 15, he's only scored one goal
• 9:57
  and that was the penalty. Yeah, and he's had what, two or
• 10:00
  three assists? He's had a very bad. 2020 second
• 10:03
  Office. Yeah, really, really bad.
• 10:05
  I mean, it's well documented. I think it's a combination of
• 10:08
  things, I think, but I think partially is that teams have
• 10:10
  figured out how to contain him a little bit.
• 10:11
  No, he spoke about it. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 10:16
  But he needs to, he needs to be smart and figure out how to just
• 10:20
  like, you know, if teams are figuring out how to stop you,
• 10:22
  the best players then figure out how to kind of like be one step
• 10:25
  ahead of these other teams and do other things.
• 10:28
  So that's on him. You have to figure it out.
• 10:30
  I think that there is a that leaves a little bit of a
• 10:32
  question mark there. So I mean, what you're going to
• 10:34
  take, you know, Saka, Holland, Bruno.
• 10:39
  Masalas. Sala.
• 10:41
  So that's what, 4 And then I mean, are you gonna take, Who
• 10:44
  else are you gonna take ahead of you suck?
• 10:46
  You suck. You think you take you suck
• 10:47
  ahead of them. Ollie Watkins.
• 10:49
  No, Yeah. I mean, who else are you gonna?
• 10:54
  I mean, really, who else are you gonna take ahead of them?
• 10:55
  Maybe you suck. Would you take Cunya ahead of
• 10:57
  Cole Palmer? That's a hard one.
• 11:00
  Well, is Cunya playing for Wolves or United?
• 11:03
  That's the question, I guess. I think I think honestly the
• 11:06
  biggest issue, like with Palmer dropping further, is that it's
• 11:10
  not like there's all these names that are really clamoring to.
• 11:14
  Overtake his body? Yeah, yeah.
• 11:17
  It's not like we've had all these breakout stars this
• 11:19
  season, so I think he'll probably be there just by
• 11:21
  default right now, even with the bad end.
• 11:25
  But OK, next game. United 0 West Ham 2 Wandasaka
• 11:30
  23.5 points Got an assist? SU Chuk 19.5 points You saw him
• 11:34
  spinning where he just says he scores and he spins around like
• 11:36
  like he's dizzy. I kind of like, I like the
• 11:38
  celebration. It's very memorable.
• 11:40
  It's very him, you know? He's having a great end to the
• 11:43
  season. He does this every season.
• 11:46
  He just goes. He just scores goals.
• 11:47
  I feel like. I mean, I, I'm not sure if I
• 11:49
  just always like I see him, but I feel like he's such a good
• 11:52
  goal scorer, midfielder. Yeah.
• 11:55
  Iola, the keeper with the clean sheet got 17 points, Diallo 15
• 11:59
  points. So you know it's right on his
• 12:02
  hit his average points per start.
• 12:04
  Yep. James Ward Prowse rare start got
• 12:06
  14.5. Good for him.
• 12:08
  Was that all ghost points? They didn't get no assists.
• 12:11
  Don't they get a point? Doesn't he get a point for a
• 12:13
  tennis sheet cuz he's from the. Middle, it's one, yeah, yeah,
• 12:16
  but still it's really solid game.
• 12:17
  United and 16th, so they're what?
• 12:19
  They're one point ahead of Tottenham, so.
• 12:22
  That's crazy that those 17 and six teams in the Europa final.
• 12:26
  Yep, we'll see how much they care.
• 12:31
  Well, she plays United next week.
• 12:33
  United managed to RIP them and you won after the game in the
• 12:35
  post match interview just yeah, no sense of urgency.
• 12:38
  And then he said it's not just on the players, it's on
• 12:40
  management and everyone else. And if it continues then the
• 12:42
  club has to look at everyone pretty much.
• 12:44
  But. Interesting, but it's also like.
• 12:48
  We mentioned it about when we're talking about Tottenham is
• 12:50
  difficult when the year's coming to and you're not playing
• 12:52
  anything but at the same time you have a huge match cut coming
• 12:54
  up and the the Europa final. But luckily both of the teams
• 12:58
  are in the same situation so both of them have lackluster
• 13:01
  attitude towards it. Totally.
• 13:03
  It's just a really weird situation.
• 13:05
  You'll probably never see this again.
• 13:07
  Yeah, you know what I mean. Kind of.
• 13:09
  It's a very unique situation. They have nothing to play for
• 13:12
  and honestly, whoever wins that game, their season will be kind
• 13:16
  of salvage. Yeah, whoever loses that game,
• 13:20
  it's a disaster of a season. It will be, yeah, it will be
• 13:23
  like their best, worst season. Yeah, but even just the fact of
• 13:27
  winning a trophy for either of those teams would be huge just
• 13:29
  for morale at the end of the season.
• 13:32
  And financially it'll be huge to be able to play in Europe.
• 13:34
  So definitely it's like it's life changing for a lot of
• 13:39
  people. It's definitely bigger for
• 13:40
  Tottenham than he is. Gomeo and I won the FA Cup last
• 13:43
  year and they won the League Cup the year before that and
• 13:46
  Tottenham we don't win Cup. It would mean a lot more.
• 13:49
  It would. Mean a lot more Tottenham, yeah.
• 13:50
  Would United do parade for Europa?
• 13:53
  The Chelsea do praise for Europa.
• 13:55
  I'm sure they would. I'm sure they would.
• 13:57
  Oh yeah. Should we move on?
• 13:58
  Yeah. Liverpool 2, Arsenal 2.
• 14:02
  Kinda Back and forth game. Arsenal kinda I mean Liverpool
• 14:06
  went up to oh, Arsenal clotted back, got a red at the end, but
• 14:09
  then we're able to hold on. Diaz 16.5 points, scored a goal,
• 14:14
  GAC poke sort of goal as well. Odegard 15 points.
• 14:17
  He's kind of showed up that, you know, too little, too late from
• 14:20
  him. Charles started 14 points.
• 14:22
  He came on. Did he come on?
• 14:23
  Did he sub on? Did he?
• 14:24
  Manage No, he started started OK.
• 14:26
  Also I would say, well, Big Art came on at the right time when
• 14:28
  he was on my team. So, you know, I'm done with
• 14:31
  that. Yeah, Marino, Marino got the
• 14:33
  second goal for Arsenal, but then he was also the one that
• 14:35
  got the red later for a bad challenge.
• 14:36
  So he'll miss a game, but just cuz there was a double, like
• 14:39
  Jackson's out for the season and also like for Chelsea, Jackson's
• 14:42
  out for the season and the first game of next season, Marino will
• 14:45
  just miss one game. Yeah, so that's what it is.
• 14:49
  Arsenal gave the guard of an honor.
• 14:50
  Skelly not into it. What does that mean?
• 14:52
  He. Just wasn't paying attention.
• 14:54
  He was just like. Maybe he didn't know what the
• 14:57
  guard of honor was. Not even like clapping, he just
• 14:59
  didn't care. I mean, I get it.
• 15:02
  That's the weird thing. I feel you should do that like
• 15:03
  once so I know every team has to give the guard of honor until
• 15:06
  the end. Of the season until the end of
• 15:07
  the season. Arteta also ripped the way that
• 15:11
  Arsenal played after the game I'm sure.
• 15:15
  Did you guys see some of his quotes?
• 15:17
  Arteta? Like the unhinged, like he's
• 15:19
  like losing his. He looks like he's having like a
• 15:20
  nervous breakdown. Not even that.
• 15:22
  Like during the Champions League, how they were the better
• 15:24
  team. Yeah.
• 15:25
  And then when he was saying Liverpool wanted with like 80
• 15:28
  something points, I had 90 something points last year.
• 15:30
  Like, can loser talk? Get the hell out of your Arteta
• 15:34
  over that guy. It's just a lot of, I don't
• 15:35
  know, I think he's just kind of a loser.
• 15:38
  Like he's just, he has like kind of a loser.
• 15:40
  He meant like that whiny mentality and I don't know,
• 15:44
  something about our eyes really runs me the wrong.
• 15:46
  Way, it's his face. Let's be honest, it's his face.
• 15:48
  This is so punchable. Do you agree, Anzo?
• 15:51
  Keith, can you ask Anzo if he agrees that it's his face?
• 15:54
  And what do you think about Arteta's face?
• 15:56
  I think. It looks like a Lego head, so
• 15:58
  yeah, I wanna punch his face. Very punchable, but yeah, go
• 16:03
  ahead. No, I was just gonna talk about
• 16:06
  the it's not in the recap, But how surprising was the City in
• 16:08
  Southampton Game 00 with how long playing in like KDB?
• 16:13
  Yeah, I mean, kudos to Southampton.
• 16:15
  They they were able to hold on They and they're officially not
• 16:19
  the worst team in the history of the Premier League.
• 16:21
  They were tied for the being having the lowest point total in
• 16:24
  the history of Premier League with Darby and they officially
• 16:26
  are not that, so good for them. I thought it was interesting.
• 16:30
  So I picked up Ederson in one of our leagues this week thinking
• 16:33
  like I'll get clean sheet automatic and I got the clean
• 16:38
  sheet. But that's literally the only
• 16:39
  points he scored. He had six points for just a
• 16:41
  clean sheet and he had no saves, no high claims, no nothing.
• 16:47
  What a cheer at the end of the game though.
• 16:48
  What a fucking cheer from the crowd.
• 16:50
  You never seen this crowd. Good for them, I think.
• 16:53
  They're kiss, man. See.
• 16:54
  Come on. Yeah, it's huge.
• 16:55
  Yeah. It's also that kind of, I mean.
• 16:58
  That hurt man. See.
• 16:58
  Yeah, I just, I just kept the like the door open for the top 4
• 17:02
  stuff too. So interesting.
• 17:05
  Did you guys see Ruben Diaz said How?
• 17:08
  Like they were not even trying to play football or something
• 17:10
  along those lines and then Satan to send out a tweet?
• 17:12
  Imagine now playing football and still going away with one point.
• 17:16
  And there's another one of the fans was like, mate, look at us.
• 17:19
  We we haven't played foot. We, we suck.
• 17:20
  Like what? What do you expect us to do, you
• 17:22
  know? Yeah, like I said.
• 17:23
  That, yeah, that's what it. I mean, they should have been
• 17:26
  not trying to play football earlier in the season.
• 17:27
  They could have got some more points probably.
• 17:29
  One point at a time. Yeah, exactly.
• 17:32
  The other game I want to chat touch briefly on is the
• 17:35
  Nottingham Forest to Leicester 2.
• 17:38
  That was a huge game in the top four race because now it's
• 17:40
  looking like it's still, it's still up for grabs, you know,
• 17:45
  because we're looking at Newcastle United on 66 points,
• 17:50
  City on 65, Chelsea on 63, Villa on 63, Forest on 62.
• 17:54
  Each have two more games to play.
• 17:56
  So it's just it's up for it. And then Forest plays Chelsea
• 18:01
  the last game of the season and Arsenal plays Newcastle next
• 18:05
  week. So there could still be some
• 18:07
  major fluctuations. Didn't forest lock up Europa?
• 18:12
  They locked up Europe. They locked up Europe.
• 18:14
  Maybe. I mean, if they lose both of
• 18:16
  their games, they could potentially go to conference,
• 18:19
  but they've definitely locked up Europe.
• 18:21
  So good for them, you know? And then you mentioned on the
• 18:26
  player recaps about the owner coming down.
• 18:28
  Yeah. So, yeah, so the owner for not
• 18:32
  only forces, he's known as being a very colorful character, kind
• 18:34
  of a larger life, crazy Greek shipping guy or something.
• 18:38
  And after the game, because they were up to oh, right.
• 18:40
  And they no, they're up to one, no 2121.
• 18:44
  And that he came down onto the pitch and started yelling at,
• 18:46
  you know, Espirito Santos, like on the pitch in front of it.
• 18:49
  That's like crazy behavior. Yeah, that was behavior from an
• 18:53
  owner. That was some Ted Lasso shit,
• 18:54
  man. It really was.
• 18:55
  And like, yeah, it's just wild. And what just happens there?
• 18:59
  He had the if you think about it, if he had got the three
• 19:01
  points there, that was one step closer to being.
• 19:04
  Yes, top four, I think. I mean, I think that guy is
• 19:08
  already counting his chickens. Yeah, he was.
• 19:09
  Champions League. He wants it, yeah, so badly.
• 19:11
  But. It's also like it's football and
• 19:14
  A&B, like you're not even supposed to be there.
• 19:16
  Like to to have that type of reaction in a situation like
• 19:19
  these guys are given their all all season.
• 19:21
  I think they would do good in Europa next season.
• 19:24
  I think don't get wrong, it'll be.
• 19:25
  What do you think you do? Oh yeah, it'll be like like life
• 19:28
  changing for that team, I think. You know, if they go to
• 19:31
  Champions League I think they'd get battered majority again
• 19:35
  depending if they play against. So yeah, especially if wooded is
• 19:37
  all all they just a striker. So apparently the reason he was
• 19:40
  upset is because they play Taiwan Iwani, who's he thought
• 19:43
  the owner thought he was injured, he wasn't going to
• 19:45
  play, and I guess he missed the chance towards the end of the
• 19:47
  game. So the owner came up to talk to
• 19:49
  the manager. Like what the Hell's going on
• 19:50
  with the situation? Interesting.
• 19:53
  Yeah, but that's not really his. That's not his decision at all
• 19:56
  Yeah. In that game, more games, White
• 19:59
  scored 24.5 points. He had a goal and an assist.
• 20:02
  Really strong game from him. Anthony Elenga 16.5 points got
• 20:06
  an assist, you know he's like his assist up which are pretty
• 20:08
  crazy. Elenga's.
• 20:10
  He's, he's had a great season, man.
• 20:12
  Yeah, when's he got like he's had a really.
• 20:14
  Good. He's got 10 assists.
• 20:17
  Pulling it up right now, he is, yeah.
• 20:20
  Six goals and assists. Yeah.
• 20:22
  But last year he was at five goals and 9 assists.
• 20:25
  Yeah. And for one SO.
• 20:27
  He's, I think he's, I mean, he's been great.
• 20:29
  He kind of had a little bit of a cold streak, but he popped back
• 20:32
  in for this one. Third round, fourth round.
• 20:34
  What I've noticed is that a lot of these teams that get into
• 20:36
  Europe when they're not and they play well the next season cuz
• 20:39
  they're in Europe. They saw it just.
• 20:40
  So much harder. Yeah, yeah, you've seen it.
• 20:42
  I mean, you saw it with Newcastle two years ago, you saw
• 20:44
  it with Villa a little bit this year, and even with Villa you
• 20:48
  saw that them getting a bunch of players didn't necessarily fix
• 20:51
  it. I think it's part of it's
• 20:52
  mental, yeah. You know, it's like there's
• 20:54
  obviously the physical aspect of it, but there's also just
• 20:56
  mentally getting geared up, like playing a game on a Tuesday or
• 20:58
  Wednesday, then getting geared up for the Premier League, play
• 21:01
  it, you know. So yeah, I think for a lot of
• 21:03
  them it's a it's a learning process.
• 21:05
  We'll see that like if seems like Newcastle is going to make
• 21:07
  top four if they they're going to obviously going to have to
• 21:10
  buy some players this year. The thing is that they've got a
• 21:13
  really good team, I think they've got some good depth in
• 21:15
  scenarios, but I feel like right back, I think centre back they
• 21:19
  should be fine, but they need someone to back up frigging
• 21:22
  Hissac. And that's what they need, Yeah.
• 21:24
  You don't think Cal Wilson's got it anymore?
• 21:26
  No, he hasn't even replayed this season, and there's a reason for
• 21:28
  it. Yeah.
• 21:29
  Well, because he has, he sacks in front of him, but yeah, yeah.
• 21:33
  Well, he's also got he hasn't like last season that didn't
• 21:36
  affect him like when he sack was out and he got the opportunity,
• 21:38
  he scored goals. Yeah, Yeah.
• 21:40
  So. OK, a couple other just quick
• 21:43
  notes. We talked about Jimenez.
• 21:44
  He had 19.5 points going on assists like solid.
• 21:47
  Kevin Shada continued his strong.
• 21:50
  Sade continued his strong run. This is his third game with like
• 21:54
  15 plus points. He had a goal.
• 21:56
  It was a really good goal, really well taken header that
• 21:58
  was like in from a very tough angle, pretty impressive.
• 22:01
  Benderak 18.25 points for Southampton.
• 22:04
  Martinez. Is that Villas Martinez?
• 22:07
  Yep, the keeper 18 points. Ramsdale 17 points.
• 22:10
  Yeah, he must have. I mean, the amount of action he
• 22:12
  had, he must get that City squad.
• 22:15
  And then a little note. Jamie Vardy on 199 goals, two
• 22:18
  games against 200. Just to add to his legend, you
• 22:22
  know what I mean? Yeah.
• 22:23
  I mean, do you think is that, is that just in total or is that
• 22:27
  it's? Just 200 goals for Leicester.
• 22:29
  For man, he might not get there. Yeah, man, he had he had a few
• 22:34
  chances. He's he had a good assist this
• 22:35
  game though, yeah. So yeah, he's still he tribute,
• 22:38
  he's still such a who are they? Playing the last two games?
• 22:40
  Let's see. I think they play Ipswitch next.
• 22:45
  So you're saying there's a chance I'm?
• 22:47
  Saying there's a chance. If switch on Bournemouth.
• 22:50
  Yeah. So I mean.
• 22:51
  Very suitable. I think you'll.
• 22:53
  Do it. It's gonna be a twitch.
• 22:54
  Yeah, it's gonna be a twitch. Well, if he doesn't do it this
• 22:57
  year, next year when Rexam comes up or two years from now, he'll
• 22:59
  be scored a goal for or something 2.
• 23:01
  Hundred goals for. Last year.
• 23:02
  Last year, yeah. Yeah, maybe they'll do like a
• 23:06
  like a testimonial game at the end of the season or something
• 23:08
  just to get him the goal and we'll just count.
• 23:10
  It wouldn't wouldn't count. It needs to be competitive.
• 23:12
  They. Should just everyone should just
• 23:13
  go in the in the box and dive create a penalty for him?
• 23:18
  Yeah, that's, that's also I like that idea too.
• 23:21
  All right. Should we hit up waivers?
• 23:23
  Should we get into it? Yeah, All right.
• 23:26
  Waivers. We've talked about some of these
• 23:27
  guys just throughout our recaps, but I think it's at this point
• 23:30
  in the year it's you're gonna recognize every name.
• 23:33
  So first one, I think Beto Ford owning 45% of leagues, a goal in
• 23:38
  each of his last two games. Everton plays Southampton next
• 23:42
  and with them drawing City last week and officially not the
• 23:44
  worst team in history of the Prem, I don't know how much more
• 23:47
  Southampton really cares. Yeah, right.
• 23:50
  You know what I mean? I think now that they're like,
• 23:51
  OK, great, we're not the worst team ever.
• 23:53
  Let's go, let's go, let's check out mentally.
• 23:56
  Yeah, we'll see. Does everyone have, does
• 23:57
  everyone have anything to fight for?
• 23:59
  Are they? I think it's just kind of
• 24:02
  playing for the manager at this point, right?
• 24:04
  Yeah, they're not. They're not vying for Europe.
• 24:06
  Game's got nil nil all over it man.
• 24:09
  Yeah, maybe. I mean, I I think there's enough
• 24:11
  quality with Everton. Everton looks strong that I'm
• 24:13
  not I'm not 100% that it's just totally nothing.
• 24:17
  Yeah, next next is El Canus mid 23%.
• 24:21
  He's had assists to in his last two in Ipswich next and Ipswich
• 24:26
  has really struggled to defend. They they, they only LED in one
• 24:28
  of his Bradford, but you can, you have to go back seven games
• 24:30
  before they before they've let in.
• 24:33
  But I feel like. They've let in more goals in one
• 24:35
  last. This game, this game they'll
• 24:38
  play because they they're both going to play each other in the
• 24:40
  championship next season. So it's more like mental, you
• 24:42
  know? What?
• 24:43
  I'm for pride. I also think it's for pride,
• 24:45
  yeah, yeah. So I agree, I think that Ipswich
• 24:47
  last year, both are really still trying to give it a go.
• 24:49
  So I'm not mad at El Canoos again, like we've seen flashes
• 24:54
  of it in the last few games. He's actually looked like he's
• 24:55
  really starting to figure it out.
• 24:57
  It'll be interesting if Lester holds on to him next year.
• 24:59
  If some team thinks that they they can kind of make a project
• 25:02
  out of Elkanoos because you see the talents there.
• 25:04
  Yeah, so that'll be interesting for sure.
• 25:08
  Next up, talked about him last week, Matt Weaver, Enzo picked
• 25:11
  him up. Did he serve you well or did he
• 25:13
  make your team? Or was he on the?
• 25:14
  Bench, yeah, he made my team. He's some he's. 4 digits so he's
• 25:17
  a mid, but he actually plays more like he's on.
• 25:20
  He's a defender but it's it's his fourth double digit game in
• 25:23
  a row. He's at assists in three of
• 25:25
  those games. The one rub with him and why he
• 25:27
  doesn't like the clear cut #1 is that they play Liverpool next
• 25:30
  week. Yeah.
• 25:31
  I will say though, that it is a little bit unpredictable as far
• 25:34
  as like who's gonna play and start for Liverpool.
• 25:36
  I feel like Liverpool really wanted to turn up against
• 25:38
  Arsenal. I don't know if they're gonna
• 25:40
  have that same energy or like their the coach is even gonna
• 25:43
  want to play all the players against the right team.
• 25:47
  A couple of things I, I think, I think this game is at Brighton,
• 25:50
  so Liverpool might rest their players, save them for the last
• 25:54
  game in Anfield, which is the last game of the year for them.
• 25:57
  And also that was a great pick up and I want to congratulate
• 25:59
  you on that. He was crucial in getting you
• 26:01
  4th place. OK, yeah, moving on next one
• 26:10
  Coyote Defense 5% owned. It was another one that Enzo
• 26:13
  swooped up from under me because he had no clue that guy was
• 26:16
  until I talked to him last week on no.
• 26:18
  I put him on my freaking nose last week.
• 26:19
  Were you talking about? I don't know.
• 26:21
  I don't think he, I don't think the no up on the side, I don't.
• 26:24
  Think no, I put him on there. You had some guy named like
• 26:27
  Thomas or something that you were trying to talk about from
• 26:30
  Leicester. Because it was because it was
• 26:31
  Leicester, but he also had two good games and he played.
• 26:34
  He had double digit against. Liverpool, but OK, whatever.
• 26:37
  Anyways, Coyote, I'm mad because then so had fed more fab than me
• 26:41
  and got him up. He had another really good game,
• 26:43
  16.25 points. He was kind of the time he
• 26:45
  didn't disappoint after being really widely talked about on
• 26:48
  waivers showed up and I think this week's important because he
• 26:52
  showed up with the defensive work.
• 26:54
  He had a clean sheet, yeah, Brighton 110 really steady, but
• 26:59
  also in that game he still managed to keep passes.
• 27:01
  So even in a game where he was, he showed defensive solidity.
• 27:04
  He still was able to get forward and he was making some really
• 27:06
  good runs, overlapping runs and stuff like that.
• 27:09
  I think he's someone I'm going to be targeting next year for
• 27:11
  sure. I like him even though he's felt
• 27:13
  relatively young and new. OK, two more names.
• 27:17
  First one, Alcaraz 22% own mid for Everton.
• 27:20
  A strong performance against Fulham looked really good and he
• 27:23
  really looks like he belongs in this league and team.
• 27:25
  He kind of broke into the team later in the season, but he
• 27:27
  looks like he totally deserves to be here.
• 27:30
  And I think same thing kind of goes with, we're talking about
• 27:32
  with Beto where they play Southampton next.
• 27:34
  So there could be some strong opportunities there.
• 27:37
  Last one, Julio and Siso mid 49% owned.
• 27:41
  I think for me, this one I like is he's kind of played for a job
• 27:43
  next year. He's on loan at Ipswich.
• 27:46
  Who knows if there's going to be room for him at Brighton next
• 27:48
  year. He's really just trying to show
• 27:50
  up and show off and he looks really strong.
• 27:54
  Maybe I think that would actually be a great, great
• 27:56
  signing for them. He looks really strong on the
• 27:58
  ball and he demands the ball when he has it.
• 28:01
  He's starting to look like his old self before I got injured.
• 28:03
  And what I particularly liked, even though he didn't have any,
• 28:06
  he like he was, it was he had no ghost points, but he had four
• 28:10
  completed dribbles in this game. So you know, 8.5 points.
• 28:14
  It wasn't like this amazing game.
• 28:15
  But I think if that's his, you know, not his, that's probably
• 28:19
  not his floor, but I think his floor is pretty strong.
• 28:22
  You know, given given what's going on and they play, I think
• 28:25
  it's, I think they play against Brentford next.
• 28:28
  Brentford, Everton Or is it Everton?
• 28:31
  No, I thought it was Leicester. Oh, you're right, it's
• 28:33
  Leicester, is it? You told me you you said it's
• 28:38
  with. Leicester are playing each
• 28:39
  other. You're right, yeah.
• 28:40
  Yeah. So it's Leicester.
• 28:41
  So I think, I think there's, I think there's the upside is he
• 28:44
  gets a goal and an assist, but the downside of him just
• 28:46
  getting, you know, ghost points, I think there's still enough
• 28:49
  potential there that you're not like so goal dependent.
• 28:52
  Yeah, I hear you. Anyone else that you guys want
• 28:54
  to talk about? The backup goalkeeper for
• 28:57
  Tottenham kings Kinski. Kinski, we talked about it
• 29:00
  briefly. What do you think about it?
• 29:02
  I mean, if he's going to start, he's averaging 10 points for the
• 29:04
  year. 5 games, 5 starts. I think after the final Wees are
• 29:08
  going to start, they just save Vicari for the final.
• 29:11
  But there's a game before the final, they're playing Villa.
• 29:15
  Maybe. No, it's interesting that you
• 29:18
  it's interesting that you decide to bench Ricardo for this game.
• 29:22
  I wonder if that means that you play him in the last game just
• 29:24
  so he's like a little bit sharp. He has some match match minutes,
• 29:26
  but we'll see. Keepers are weird.
• 29:31
  OK, next week kind of or next game week, game week 37, kind of
• 29:35
  getting down to it. This is the last game week where
• 29:37
  games are staggered because the last game week of the year, all
• 29:40
  the games are happening simultaneously.
• 29:41
  What are we thinking? What do we are there any games
• 29:44
  we like? Chelsea, Manchester United
• 29:45
  stands out, but not I guess it kind of matters for Chelsea,
• 29:49
  doesn't really matter that much for Manchester United, Villa,
• 29:51
  Tottenham, same thing matters for Villa, doesn't really matter
• 29:54
  for Tottenham. So those will be games where,
• 29:56
  you know, upsets could happen, but hoping not.
• 30:00
  I don't think any upsets are going to happen.
• 30:01
  They're going to layer, they're going to fold like a napkin.
• 30:04
  You guys think Tottenham and United play their players
• 30:06
  because their games are on Friday and then was these the
• 30:08
  final? I think, dude, you're going to
• 30:10
  see a lot of rotation from them, yeah.
• 30:12
  Yeah, I think Newcastle, Arsenal might be interesting.
• 30:15
  Newcastle, Arsenal is probably the pick of the week, huh?
• 30:18
  Is there anything else? It's a lot of teams that a lot
• 30:22
  of matches where one of the teams has something to play for,
• 30:24
  the other one doesn't really, you know.
• 30:27
  So City, Bournemouth is interesting because I guess
• 30:30
  Bournemouth is still vying for Europe.
• 30:33
  Europe and they their their loss, their loss this week
• 30:36
  really put a debt in it. Move and also C wants top five.
• 30:40
  And they want yeah, City wants to just like secure it.
• 30:42
  I think that I think that tie this week in Southampton is kind
• 30:45
  of embarrassing for them. So I see that happening.
• 30:48
  City's been really interesting. Like neither Salvia or Doku
• 30:50
  started this match, so there's just been a little bit of
• 30:52
  headache stuff going on there. You.
• 30:54
  Know what to I, I have no doubt they're probably bounced back
• 30:57
  next season. That's that's just what you
• 30:59
  think with Man C But yeah, we'll see.
• 31:04
  I'm pretty sure if you look at their record outside of that,
• 31:06
  like middle of the year where they had like what was like 7 to
• 31:09
  10 games where they weren't doing that well, probably like
• 31:11
  the last few weeks, seems like they've kind of righted the
• 31:13
  ship. And even, yeah, even Doku came
• 31:16
  back. He played the second-half and he
• 31:18
  had 13.5 points. So you know what you're getting
• 31:21
  with Doku? Frustration and a lot of
• 31:23
  dribbles. I think Doku's one of the guys
• 31:25
  that you could, you would, a lot of times it might make sense to
• 31:28
  roll the dust even if he doesn't start, just because you know
• 31:30
  he's going to come on. And even if he only plays for 20
• 31:32
  minutes, he could dribble past. He could get like 5 successful
• 31:35
  dribbles in 20 minutes. He's gonna be that type of guy.
• 31:38
  He's gonna be the kudos of next year.
• 31:39
  That's what he's gonna be. Yeah, he's he's definitely up
• 31:42
  there for sure. I mean, I think he is he the
• 31:43
  highest completed dribblers. We we looked at this the other
• 31:47
  week. I forget now.
• 31:47
  You're right. Yeah, Jeremy Doku by a lot.
• 31:50
  He has a total of 107 successful dribbles.
• 31:53
  The next best is Kudus with 89, and I'm sure he has had
• 31:56
  significantly less minutes. Yeah, he's almost had.
• 31:59
  He's had 1000 less minutes than Kudus.
• 32:02
  Wow. So that's kind of wild.
• 32:05
  My name's Keith. I was with Tikko and Enzo, but
• 32:07
  now I'm just with Tikko. And we will see you next week
• 32:11
  for the penultimate episode.
