  Speaker 1: predictions as Jewels tries to defend his crowns.

  Speaker 2: Well, this is it.

  Speaker 1: else through Sanbornfield and Julian Larron duel back from the Olympics.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: No excuses. Now, you've got to sort this team out.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, but you know I could.
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: I'm multitasking, as you know, I can do the FBL
• 0:41
  Speaker 4: and my team and the Olympics.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: You know what. The last the last part I covered
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: on the Olympics.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Right, Okay, So because through this it's basketball.
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, as gonna say, if you follow Jews on social media,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: you'll know that. Would you say that's a highlight or
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: a life highlight?
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: Yeah, one hundred Without that, they were like literally there,
• 1:05
  Speaker 4: Kelly like like almost played in the same team. So
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: you know, as a as a massive basketball find an
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: NBA fan to cover.
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: Them was just one of the best moments of my
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: professional career.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: Official, I'm very pleased to be you. But Sam, bring
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: this round to f PL.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Will you? Are you ready?
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: I was just saying because often you wonder like what sports,
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: So now I've done, you know, swimming, running and athletics.
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: So you didn't make people wait until the end of
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: the podcast. You did it at the beginnings. Never switched
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: off already. We'll get some skills at the end of
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: the Sam bring us background to ft PL.
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: Because we're a couple of minutes in and we're now
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: talking about the wrong sport.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: We're going to get in trouble. Yeah, it's nearly there now,
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: isn't it.
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: And I think this is the This is the bit
• 1:44
  Speaker 5: of pre season where everybody either goes I'm happy and
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: they settle or goes into the sas melt down.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: Nobody is happy.
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: Do you know what the beginning of the weekend I was,
• 1:55
  Speaker 5: I think I'm settled, and then I.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: Really really and then I settled. I'm sorry, but who's settled.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: At the beginning of the final weekend of preseason friendlies
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: before the Community Shield, before signings, injuries, games.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: If you say you're settled, you're lying.
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: Well, it's the settling. It's the settling in terms of
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: like I feel, I feel like this team's quite good.
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: And then obviously the last preseasons play apart, but it's
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: also the signings that have had a massive impact on
• 2:21
  Speaker 5: my team, because suddenly I'm now like, okay, everything's gone
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: out the window.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: I get the feeling it might be one signing in particular,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Jewels which signing do we think that it might have
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: affected sound?
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: Could it be somebody who plays in white and came
• 2:36
  Speaker 4: from a club from the South that you know well, Kelly,
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: maybe to a North London club.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: I think it could be. And hands up.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: We can do this now because we're on YouTube. Hands
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: up if you've alread got him in your FBL team.
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: I know for the interest of those of you listening
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: on podcast, there's a little your first reminder of the day.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: We're also on YouTube.
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: We have all put our hands up, and that is
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: not surprising, is it, Sam?
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: No, Because like if you can have Spurs as number
• 3:01
  Speaker 5: nine for seven and a half million.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: By the way, we're talking about dominic silanky. I realized
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: I didn't actually name it Dominic Slank.
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah, arriving before it was officially announced he was in
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: my team, and then I sat there refreshing the app
• 3:13
  Speaker 5: going put him in a Spurs shout, go on, do
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: it quicker, and then eventually he landed in the Spurs show.
• 3:18
  Speaker 5: I was very happy about that. But yeah, I think
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: if you can have the Spurs number nine for seven
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: and a half million, it makes for the perfect third forward.
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: And I can see a lot of teams being changed
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: quite substantially to afford that, because obviously, for a lot
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: of people, if you had a Jow Pedro, or you
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: had a Chris Wood, or you had a me NAIs
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: down there, you're going to have to find a little bit
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: of extra budget. So that's the problem I had this week.
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: It was just I needed to find some budget from
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: somewhere else.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I think it would also affect a few of those
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: people who were getting quite excited. You included Sam about
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: the potential of an out of position Spurs midfielder.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: So I presume.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: We'll talk about your team in a little bit more
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: detail later on. We'll also talk about some of the
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: other new signings in the league later. I just wanted
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: to mention Silanky, because we've got a personal interest in
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: the podcast and it does feel like, actually, all of
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: a sudden, we might have a bit of a template
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: front three for lots of people now early shouts out,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: first shouts out of the season by the end of
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: the season. Last year, I knew the pod Mini League
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: code off by Harp. We've got a new one now
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: that I'm there. So this is your first invitation to
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: join myself, Sam and Jewles and all of the rest
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: of the listeners in playing against us this season. Can
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: you beat Jewels, myself and Sam certainly, Hope. So the
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: code is QTE seven y C O zero, so that's
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: like a little O the letter and then zero Q
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: seven y C zero.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: Please do join.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: Hope to see lots of you in there. Okay, let's
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: reflect then on the final round of preseason friendies and
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: the one that probably Jewles tells us the most, particularly
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: given the fact that it was between two of the
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: biggest teams in the league and it's the most serious
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: official unofficial friendly.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: We're going to call it friendly Silverware.
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about the community Shield City versus Manchester United.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: What did you take away from that?
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: I thought it was a big kg for nineteen minutes,
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: no extra time. Obviously we went straight to penalties. I
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: expected it to be to be fair. Neither team really
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: starting the strongest eleven for obvious reasons, some players just
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: coming back from injured from holiday storry, some injured, some
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: new signings there and there. But you've got to see
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: still little bit there that would I think benefit us
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: in the game. For example, we saw I think again
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: a very good Acabob, which is we've mentioned him, We've
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: highlighted him already in our first three shows, who I
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: think is a very interesting player. We saw that Halan
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: didn't score again, but he never really scores in Community
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: Shield and yet always starts the season well, so that's
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: not I don't think that's a that's a worry. We
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: saw a coming on for United scoring and doing really well,
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: not so much Marcus Rashford who had some chances that
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: didn't take, which again I think is interesting for the
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: game if you were thinking about getting Marcus Rashford too.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: So I thought it was.
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: It was a very still interesting game despite not being
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: the most entertaining.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Sam, what about you, what did you take away from
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: I was particularly interested in Manchester City for this one.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Although the whole thing of players coming back from international
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: doesn't really help us.
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: With this game, it does make it more difficult. And
• 6:15
  Speaker 5: I think, you know, because it's been an international summer,
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: it has made has made that part of FPO a
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: little bit more difficult. I mean Oscar Bob he did
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: continue to impress again and you know, he's now played
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: in ninety two percent of the minutes that man City
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: have played in preseason, has got two goals and three
• 6:30
  Speaker 5: assists in that time, more minutes than anybody else has
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: got for Manchester City this summer.
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: So what does that tell you?
• 6:36
  Speaker 5: Well, it's difficult with Pep, isn't it, because you never
• 6:38
  Speaker 5: really know what he's going to do. But he has
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: looked good this preseason and got enough minutes to suggest
• 6:43
  Speaker 5: that he will get the NOD for Game Week one.
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: So if you do want to go for the cheap
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: option in midfield, then I think you have that there.
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: I do worry a little bit longer term about how
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: that Man City seems going to look when you get
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: you know, the likes of Foden and Bernardo Silver and
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: those guys coming back into the starting Evan and obviously
• 7:01
  Speaker 5: Greaders she's been having a good preseason and then wasn't
• 7:03
  Speaker 5: available for the Community Shields, So yeah, it was an
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: interesting learning point. It put Bob firmly back on my radar. Harlan,
• 7:11
  Speaker 5: I agree with what George just said. I'm not worried
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: about him. He's caught a brace in the last two
• 7:15
  Speaker 5: game week one, so just because he didn't do a
• 7:18
  Speaker 5: lot in this one doesn't worry me too much.
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the last two seasons he got two goals and
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: thirteen points on the opening day, so yeah, don't get
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: two panics if you're Oscar Bob. To me, Jiles feels
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: very much like a Julian Larron signing some.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Considering him.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: I've got him in the squads already after that before yeah,
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: of course five on five I think is a good
• 7:41
  Speaker 4: enabler to have. Then I still think that I think
• 7:45
  Speaker 4: he will start again with one and it's against Chelsea Away,
• 7:48
  Speaker 4: so we said it's a difficult fixture to start with
• 7:50
  Speaker 4: the City, but I think he will start. I think
• 7:54
  Speaker 4: on that right hand side where him as a left
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: footed attacking midfielder or attacking player is really interesting because
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: since Mariez left and even marie last season was not
• 8:03
  Speaker 4: the best of go Banado there, but I think Bobb
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: is more of a player that sut that position than
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: ban Ado Silva really or for me, he's more of
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: a central player. So I think there's a there's a
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: role for him in his team. Okay, maybe not consistently
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: for the whole season nineteen minutes every time, because he
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: will still be I think more of a squad player
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: than a regular starter, guaranteed starter. But for now, in
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: terms of form, and like Sam said, who's been playing,
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: who's just coming back, who is not really fully fit
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: to start a Premier League match of the caliber of
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: Chelsea Away for example, I think he's there and he's
• 8:37
  Speaker 4: been City's best player really in the summer so far.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: What about Manchester United?
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: Is Sam?
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Because I was really interested in how Marcus Rushforld was
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: going to do. Feel like he's got a point to prove.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: Jews mentioned it there missed some chances? Is he or
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: anyone else from ericson Harkside Worth investment?
• 8:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean Rushford. I was watching him because actually's
• 8:59
  Speaker 5: priced really nicely in their game, and I think actually
• 9:02
  Speaker 5: I was quite disappointed with Hink because it's getting in
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: the right places, doing the right things and then just
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: not finishing any of them. And the one chance in
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: particular that really he should have put away, and Marcus
• 9:11
  Speaker 5: rash would have two seasons ago would have put that
• 9:14
  Speaker 5: away with his eyes closed. And so I don't know.
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: For me, there's still very much a wait and see
• 9:19
  Speaker 5: that game on the It's the opening game of the
• 9:22
  Speaker 5: season right against Fulham. I don't see that being an
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: easy game for Mansester United by any stretch of the imagination.
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: They've got some defensive issues in terms of injuries. So
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: I'm looking at them thinking, I feel like they're a
• 9:34
  Speaker 5: team that if they start well in the sort of
• 9:37
  Speaker 5: opening two or three game weeks, then I might look
• 9:39
  Speaker 5: to invest because they're not difficult to get to in
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: terms of their price points. So I do think you
• 9:43
  Speaker 5: can afford to just wait and see on Manses United,
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: and that's what I'll be doing because apart from Garnatcho,
• 9:48
  Speaker 5: nobody really stood out from the red.
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: Side of Manister in that one for me, anyway, you.
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: Agree, Geors, Yeah, but I have to say I was
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: convinced by Ganad sure enough to bring him back into
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: the squad where he worked first, and then yeah, I
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: think he will start this weekend. I think he would
• 10:06
  Speaker 4: just be united biggest threat, let's put it that way
• 10:10
  Speaker 4: going forward, more than anybody else. And I think he's
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: got The summer has been a good summer for him
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: for many I mean, even the last eighteen months have
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: been an incredible journey for him. And I think he's
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: still so young and still very raw in many respects,
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: but has something very special, I think. And this team,
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: this team is still being built in a way. There's
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: some new signings, there's still ten Hag, but ten Hag
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: has lost has a lot to prove himself too, And
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: I think Garnaccio is the one value in that team
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: that you know, I think he's going to.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: Deliver if there's one to deliver, even more than Bruno.
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: More than we can look at defenders, we can look
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: at Howland, we can look at Zerxi, we can look
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: at all those different options.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: For me, Garnaccho is the one who.
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: Is the most established in a position, knowing exactly what
• 10:54
  Speaker 4: to do. Everybody knows his strength, as we saw on
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: his goal and the competition, and that's why his goal
• 10:59
  Speaker 4: is such a Garach goal, such a ganactual goal, that
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: this is what he does so well and I think
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: he can do that old season, so at his price,
• 11:06
  Speaker 4: I think it's a no brainer if you want a
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: United player, if you don't want a United player. But
• 11:10
  Speaker 4: I was quite convinced by the way United player against
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: City in that committee ship. I didn't expect them to
• 11:16
  Speaker 4: play at that kind of level already in the season.
• 11:19
  Speaker 4: So I think he's going to be a very good
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: season from United from a United point of view, and
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: I think an actual will be the key in that.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Jeeles, I've got some good news for you actually, because
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: you know before when you were listing having Oscar Bob,
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: I think you said he was five point five million.
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: He's actually only five only.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: Five Sorry I thought it was five for five, all.
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Right, but it means that you've got zero point five
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: million more than you thought you had exactly see in
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: the bank. Again, moving on to the other preseason matches
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: them because it wasn't just the Community Shield that took
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: place last weekend, and it's one of the final games
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: for Premier League sides where they kind of show their hand.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: A little bit more.
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: We get maybe a bit more of an indication of
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: what they'll look like on game week one. The one
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: I was most interested in and played most attention to,
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: I'm going to be honest, was Liverpool because I said
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: this time last week that I was struggling to get
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: my sala in. I'm still struggling to get my salary in.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: It's an eternal problem. So many of us have got
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: I'm leaning towards Diogo Jotta some What do you think
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: of that?
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: The Dominic's lanky who I'm sure will talk more about
• 12:19
  Speaker 5: in a little bit. Bringing him in has upset my
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: team even further because it means that well, it has,
• 12:27
  Speaker 5: because it means that in order to afford him, I've
• 12:29
  Speaker 5: had to take some money out of someone else, because
• 12:31
  Speaker 5: I was absolutely certain I didn't want to take that
• 12:33
  Speaker 5: money out of Salah. I now have an even weaker
• 12:37
  Speaker 5: midfield than I started with last week is basically Salah
• 12:40
  Speaker 5: or bust now, and I'm looking at that team and
• 12:43
  Speaker 5: I'm thinking I need to find a bit more balanced here,
• 12:46
  Speaker 5: because if I get two game weeks into the season
• 12:48
  Speaker 5: and players like Garnacho have done something really good, or
• 12:52
  Speaker 5: players in the eight and a half, or you know
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: Arsenal who I'm terrified about not having play really well,
• 12:59
  Speaker 5: then I am.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Really going to struggle to bring them in.
• 13:02
  Speaker 5: So I need to find a way to balance my team,
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: and Jotta feels like the most obvious way of doing that.
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: I mean, obviously he gets the goal in this one.
• 13:13
  Speaker 5: Salah didn't get any attack in returns. But Salah was
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: still good in this game. He still had plenty of
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: good opportunities and could have easily got something out of it.
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: So it's not that I think that Salah is a
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: bad pick. It's just the more these new signings come in,
• 13:28
  Speaker 5: the more it changes the way that the rest of
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: your team looks, the more you have to find compromises.
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: And I'm not sure how far I'm prepared to compromise
• 13:35
  Speaker 5: on Sala yet. I'm still not one hundred percent sure
• 13:39
  Speaker 5: that I'm willing to go that far with my compromises.
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: But I do think that Jotter is looking like a
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: really nice alternative, and as we said last week, he
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: does look like he's going to start in the number nine.
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: I mean, Liverpool played two matches that day and it
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: was Jotter who started in I guess what you would
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: call the first team match. And yeah, so Jotter does
• 13:58
  Speaker 5: feel like a good op. If you don't have the
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: budget for Salah for sure? Can you get around Salah
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: by having josted always? Are there any other options there
• 14:07
  Speaker 5: in the Liverpool midfield and do we need a Liverpool midfielder.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: I think we need a Liverpool player whatever that is.
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: It could be a defender, could be a midfielder, could
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: be a forward, it.
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: Doesn't matter so much. I think you need one day.
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: I think they will have a really good season with
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: on the slot and already they look really good when
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: the guy has been in charge for a month, So
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: I think I think you need someone. I tried to
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: put Salad in before the Slonki move and I just
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: the rest of the team outside of Hallan and Salad
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: just didn't make me happy. I was just not convinced
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: by it. So I decided no Salah. And I think
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: if you decide no Salah, you can try like Sam
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: and try to make you work for me.
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: I didn't think that he worked. If you can't make
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: your salad for.
• 14:49
  Speaker 4: Me is the obvious kind of replacement from a Liverpool
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: point of view. And the goalie scord which was a
• 14:55
  Speaker 4: fantastic finish, and we know the talent is not the problem.
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: The problem is the fitness because he always keep keeps
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: getting those little injuries there and there. But Shota to
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: start the season. It looks full if is ready, as
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: we've said they have. Really I switched away. It's hard
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: to do a better fixture than that one. Really, I
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: could have been at home, but that's it. Really, So
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: I think Jota if you can't make Salah, if you
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: don't have that kind of money, because you also want.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: Harland and one or two other premiums, go for Shota.
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: It's a great, great alternative, more than an alternative, even
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: because I think for the if you compare the price
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: and the value, I would rather have Jota than Salah.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it does feel like that, doesn't it, because he
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: is so much cheap. A seven point five million compared
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: to twelve point five for most, that's a whole five million.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: Good maths for me, I know.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: That's what other headlines, as we know I regularly is
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: from my maths is not my strong point. Other headlines
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: and someone we've spoken through about a lot on Kunky
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: was benched for Chelsea's final preseason match, Jeors. How much
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: do we read into that?
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure how much.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's tough and Chelsea is still a work in
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: progress very much, so we say the mareska, are.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: You any Are you any more impressed than you last one?
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: Not really, No, I'm just I'm just very excited to
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: see maybe when the season starts properly things would get
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: in place better. But what a first game, as we
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: said to to host City I stand for Bridge, would
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: be very difficult. And I mean Pedro netto who will
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: talk about later, is also an interesting one from a
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: Chelsea point of view. But yeah, I don't think and
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: couldn't cool for me right now? Is the is the answer?
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I've seen a lot of him fall
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: out of a lot of people's drafts. Aren't we good
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: to Seeel Pedro back in scoring Sam? But I almost
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: feel like from what we said before about the fours,
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: it might be a little bit too little.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: Too late.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:44
  Speaker 5: I watched the Community Shield on Saturday with Ads, and
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: of course Ads is a massive, massive Brighton fan. He
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: comes on here sometimes and and we said exactly the
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: same thing. We were both like, job Pedro back and scoring.
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: That feels like a really great option. Oh except that
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: we will want Harlan any second now. We all need
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: to lanky as well, so it's difficult to find a
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: spot for him. And it's a shame really with Joe
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: Pedro because we thought he was going to be good
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: when the price came out. Then he missed pretty much
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: all of preseason with this rib injury that he had,
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: didn't travel away with Brighton comes in plays what forty
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: five minutes in this game and scores and yeah, I
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: mean it's one of those, isn't it. Where if you
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: are absolutely set that you have to have Harlan and
• 17:25
  Speaker 5: you have to have Salah and you know you want
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: a Trent or somebody in there as well, then players
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: like Jow Pedro are probably going to be the way
• 17:34
  Speaker 5: that you have to go. But we should just be
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: a little bit mindful that Danny Welbeck has actually had
• 17:39
  Speaker 5: a really good preseason as well. Yeah, I mean, he's
• 17:42
  Speaker 5: got three goals and an assist. He's played sixty nine
• 17:44
  Speaker 5: percent of the minutes over the course of the preseasons
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: two hundred and fifty minutes of preseason, So in terms
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: of like match fitness and being ready to go this season,
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: Danny Wellbeck is in the right place for them. So
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: if you are going for Jill Pedro, there is the
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: Wellbeck problem. Potentially just sit there as well.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, worth thinking about him, someone that I mentioned last
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: week potentially getting rid of, and then Sammy made me
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: feel so bad about I didn't eber Eza. He's not
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: had the most exciting preseason, but he was away with
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: England and it is just preseason. He's still in my team, Jules,
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: what have you made of his preseason?
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: Now?
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: He's so popular in the game, isn't he seven million?
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: People should be looking elsewhere? Is he still really good value?
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: No?
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: I think I think there's there's a I think there's
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: good value there. I think there's there's a case to
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: make for him and your team. Especially with o Lisa leaving,
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: you would think that even more the kind of attacking
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: game of Palace will rely on him, so he will
• 18:43
  Speaker 4: be even more involved. I think it's a difficult summer
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: for him because one, as you said, he was with
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: England of the Euros. Not that he played much, but
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: that means the holiday starts at the end, so he
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: missed his pre season for most of it comes back
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: kind of you play cashap little bit if you're established
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: international and everything you used to it.
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: You know how it works for him is the first
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: one really.
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: The other thing is I think I just wonder how
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: much he thought maybe he was going to move out
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: of Custon Palace this summer, and if maybe that can
• 19:14
  Speaker 4: have a bit of a bit of an impact on
• 19:16
  Speaker 4: his performances.
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I just think that.
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: There's other options for me, like that is just slightly
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: more expensive that I'm more guaranteed in bracket for returns
• 19:29
  Speaker 4: than is it right now, I just don't know fitness
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: White ways exactly.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: I don't.
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: I don't think Palace have had an amazing precision either
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: a west Ham w we will talk about later with
• 19:40
  Speaker 4: full Kruk. So I'm just I'm not Yeah, I'm not
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: too too sure. But later in the season, no problem,
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: because if he shows that he's on great form and
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: that Palace are doing well like the finished last season,
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: then yeah, for sure.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: Right now, I'm not too convinced.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: Sami still has locked on him.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I am. I think so. A lot of really
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: liked the thing for Palace.
• 20:00
  Speaker 5: I think he'll have to be talismanic, and he's approached
• 20:04
  Speaker 5: this season because you know, without Elise, he will be
• 20:07
  Speaker 5: their focal point in the midfield. So I'm still there
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: and I also think that by going in with him,
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: if it doesn't go well, it's relatively easy to move around.
• 20:17
  Speaker 5: And I do still believe that game week one should
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: be about price points for a lot of the picks
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: that you make. It's about making sure that you have
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: flexibility across your squad to move as much as you
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: need to in game weeks one, two three, you know,
• 20:29
  Speaker 5: up until the point where you choose to play your
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: wild card, it's having those little moments where you can
• 20:33
  Speaker 5: go ES's not performed well, I'll getting a different player
• 20:36
  Speaker 5: in this sort of six to seven price point. Or
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: if I've kept some money in the bank, maybe I
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: can get up to a bow. And if he starts
• 20:41
  Speaker 5: the season well, or an Anthony Gordon or whoever it is,
• 20:44
  Speaker 5: I think Es will have a good season. Whether he
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: hits the ground running. I mean, he got what sixty
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: one minutes I think in this one, so enough time
• 20:52
  Speaker 5: to kind of get his legs back in after the summer.
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: But I think for me, he's still staying.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: I tell you what.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: At this point, let's go through our teams as they stand,
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: because we've hinted at some of the changes or some
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: of the players that have survived are tinkering so far
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: and sam Runners through your team. Then I'm saying runners
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: through role. In fact, tell us your changes from last week,
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: and then we'll go through your teams, just so that
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: the regular listeners can hear where you're at.
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: I mean, there's been quite a lot of changes, to
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: be fair, because I needed to find a route to Solanky,
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: so I made some changes and they were minimal, and
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: it basically evolved taking the zero point five million that
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: I had in the bank, investing that up top, and
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: then finding another million. So I basically took Kuleseski out
• 21:37
  Speaker 5: and swopped him for smith Row. So that was the
• 21:39
  Speaker 5: easy route to doing it. But that does, as I
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: said before, leave me with a team that I feel
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: is weak across the midfield in terms of price points
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: to move elsewhere, because it's basically Salah and then Essays
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: the next most expensive, and then after that it's budgets
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: all the way. So my current draft doesn't have Salar
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: in it anymore, which.
• 22:01
  Speaker 3: I had to wait twenty two minutes for this bombshell.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: No, she did allude to it earlier. I thought I
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: thought this was coming, George. We've turned her for weeks.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: She's going to try to turn me into the Sala
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: and Sad we need it and now now here we are.
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: All it takes is a signing for Spurs, unsurprisingly, and
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: it's all changed.
• 22:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it would be very disappointed in you, but anyway,
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: let's go.
• 22:22
  Speaker 5: I know he's not going to be friends with me anymore,
• 22:25
  Speaker 5: but it does. The thing is what I was looking at.
• 22:28
  Speaker 5: Kind of the basic point was who do I think
• 22:31
  Speaker 5: he's going to score more? If I have Salah and
• 22:34
  Speaker 5: then you know somebody like her. I don't know a
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: budget player in the kind of six five and a
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: half bracket do I think they can outscore Jotta and
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: Soccer Because that's the alternative. I think soccer will have
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: another really really good season. It gives me on Arsenal
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: player that I've been massively lacking in every draft that
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: I've had so far. So yeah, my actual new draft
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: has changed quite a lot.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: There's very few of them.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: That go through that, then go through that from the
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: whole way through, go through your whole squad.
• 23:01
  Speaker 5: Okay, so by not having Salam anymore, it means that
• 23:05
  Speaker 5: I can afford to have Saliba. So I've got Henderson
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: backing goal and then a back three of Vardi, Ol
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: Saliba and Pedro Poro. Midfield of soccer jottaes A and
• 23:16
  Speaker 5: then smith Row and then a forward line of Harlan
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: d second Slankey with a four point zero goalkeeper on
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: the bench and then Barcoe, Winks and Robinson from Fulham
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: as the three subs. So the sub bench is weak,
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: but they are all players that are going to start
• 23:33
  Speaker 5: the season.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: Okay, you said to me the other day, didn't you
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: when we were on the fantasy shot. Teams are going
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: to be quite similar. They are quite similar, and I
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: think they'll probably end up being more similar Jews, what
• 23:43
  Speaker 1: about yours?
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: So I made three changes compared to last week, Jigo
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: Jotta coming in for Anthony Gordon, who because I've got
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: Isaca France. I just feel that the double as long
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: as I've got one of them too, I think it's
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: fine because I think both of them will have a
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: really good season like Newcastle. So that was the the
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: only way I could do Jota was to get rid
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: of Gordon, so I think that's fine. Ganacho for Elliot
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: and then Solanki for Darwin.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: From Okay, run through your hosted them.
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: So Fleck and Ariola the two goal keepers and I've
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: got Poro Barcos, Saliba, Conca and Davis from Ipswich. In
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: midfield Saka Kudu's, Jota, Garnacho and Bob and then Solonkey,
• 24:25
  Speaker 4: Harland and Isak Okay.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: It feels like we've got quite similar starting elevens, just
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: with maybe some different benches. She's got a few differentials
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: in there. Though my defense is not set, and it
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: probably won't. I think I'm going to have to sacrifice
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: Gordon as well to enable me to upgrade my defense.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: I'm on Ariola and Flecken as well, Gay Heek, Vardio
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: Concert Barso Mosquerra. Then in midfield, I've got Saka, Jotta Za,
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Gordon Winks and up from the front three that everyone's
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: got isaks A Lanky and Harland. And on the topic
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: of the front three, this time last week you were
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: also saying you were very excited to see how much
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: the new west Ham and Fool Cruk was gonna lost.
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: What did you make of the price that he came in.
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: Up, Yeah, seven million.
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: I was a little bit this. I thought it was
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: going to be slightly less. I thought it could be
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: there for six point five. He's got a tooth missing,
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: So just for that, I thought, okay, knocking zero point
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: five million, and that's fine, but I.
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: Guess feel sorry for more so we can have exactly
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: and fixes too.
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think he loves the fact that he
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: doesn't have a tooth there, so you know.
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: But anyway, he's a Champions League finalist.
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: He's a you know, euro Whatever they did with Germany,
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: I can't even remember. So so it's fine, it's fine,
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: seven million, I get it. But when I see a
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: Solanki seven point five Promeniy provens called twenty one goals
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: last season, even if with Solanki you just never really
• 25:48
  Speaker 4: know in terms of consistency because he's had some bad
• 25:50
  Speaker 4: season in the Promedic two, I still would rather pay
• 25:53
  Speaker 4: the little bit more for Solonkey then go for full
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: Kruk and west Ham. By the way, I had a
• 25:58
  Speaker 4: really bad preseason, which doesn't mean anything when the season starts.
• 26:01
  Speaker 4: I'm just saying that they haven't been great and the
• 26:04
  Speaker 4: lope so far, and ful krugis just arrived, hasn't really
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: played yet.
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: With these new teammates and stuff.
• 26:10
  Speaker 4: So I think it feels like so long ky is
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: the stepfer bet anyway you feel like.
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: You've got a little bit of optimism around west Ham,
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: like the fact that you've gone with Kudos in midfield.
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because I think what they've building, certainly in terms
• 26:20
  Speaker 4: of recruitment is really really good and I like lopetag
• 26:23
  Speaker 4: you a lot. And again I'm not sure how much
• 26:25
  Speaker 4: she reads into preseason performances matches. Not everybody was there
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: or everybody was fait all of that, so.
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: We'll have to see.
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: But the good thing with Kudus, as what Sam was
• 26:34
  Speaker 4: mentioning a little bit for, is that if Kudzus doesn't
• 26:38
  Speaker 4: start well, it's easy to change. There's a lot of
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: six point five million midfielders who are very good in
• 26:42
  Speaker 4: the game. So if Kudus is not there off west Ham,
• 26:45
  Speaker 4: just take a bit of time to hit the ground running,
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: then you can easily swap swap him for somebody else
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: who's good or started well.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, West Timer team. I haven't really looked at Sam automatically.
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: I looked at Bowen's price when he came out because
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: of what he did last season, but the whole into
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: national thing and the fact that he's at a congested
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: price point in the game meant that I didn't consider
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: him for long at all. Have you looked at any
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: of their players at all?
• 27:09
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I always look at Jared Bowen and
• 27:11
  Speaker 5: I think he is so important to that west Ham team.
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: And you know he has only played sixty seven minutes
• 27:18
  Speaker 5: in preseason. He only played in the last one and
• 27:20
  Speaker 5: in that game he got a goal and and assists,
• 27:21
  Speaker 5: like he has always has that impact on that west
• 27:25
  Speaker 5: Ham team and he is a he's a big game player, right,
• 27:28
  Speaker 5: So you know, I think when you look at it,
• 27:30
  Speaker 5: it's a difficult game to start the season against aston Villa.
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: He scored against them last time around and got sixteen
• 27:35
  Speaker 5: girls and six assists one hundred and eighty two points. Like,
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: I think Bowen went a little bit under the radar
• 27:40
  Speaker 5: last season, and I think he will go a little
• 27:42
  Speaker 5: bit under the radar again this season. And it won't
• 27:44
  Speaker 5: be threety four of Jared Bowens. It'll be because we're
• 27:47
  Speaker 5: all talking about these other players in the same price
• 27:49
  Speaker 5: points because of Jotta and everything else. So I am
• 27:53
  Speaker 5: definitely looking at west Ham. I always like Max Kilman.
• 27:56
  Speaker 5: I think he's always a good pick in fantasy and
• 27:58
  Speaker 5: under the Patagi side, and usually they are quite solid defensively,
• 28:02
  Speaker 5: and so if they start the season with some more
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: solid defensive performances than we've seen in preseason, then there'll
• 28:09
  Speaker 5: be a defense that I look to invest in because
• 28:10
  Speaker 5: I'm like you two, I'm not going to go for
• 28:12
  Speaker 5: Arioda this time around. But yeah, I mean all eyes
• 28:16
  Speaker 5: on west Ham. They're another team a bit like Manster
• 28:18
  Speaker 5: United for me that I'm going to wait and see
• 28:20
  Speaker 5: how they start the season before I invest. But they're
• 28:23
  Speaker 5: definitely on the radar.
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: George, you mentioned him earlier. Pedro Netto has gone to
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: Chelsea for big money. We know what pedro Netto could
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: do in a Wolves team that wasn't the most attacking
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: at times. He's a brilliant, brilliant player, but there feels
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: like there's quite a lot of uncertainty in terms of
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: where he fits into this side, how Chelsea going to do.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: As you've said, would he be someone that's just on
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: your watch list at the moment.
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think so.
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: The problem, as it says, the fitness really last season.
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: Even last season he had a good season because I
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: think there's nine as seas in the Premier League and
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: three or four gored or something like that in twenty
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: four games. But there's there's more games that he missed
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: through injury this season. The two seasons before that it
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: was even worse. I think he played ten games and
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: fifteen games or something like that.
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: In the Premier League, you can't.
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: You need players who are reliable in this game otherwise
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: you can't.
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: Keep changing and transferring, et cetera, et cetera.
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: So Neto in terms of talent, no problem, but I've
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: got issues with the fitness and other question mark around
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: his fitness all the time, and also the fact out
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: as we've been saying Chelsea right now, I'm not still
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: very much a work in progress and they've got a
• 29:30
  Speaker 4: lot of options. They're going to buy more players, They've
• 29:32
  Speaker 4: signed a lot of players already. I'm not sure if
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: Mareska knows where he's stronger. Starting eleven is right now.
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: So yeah, I would not put him in the squad now,
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: but just keep an eye on him and just to
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: finish on west Ham. They sang John clairk to Dbo,
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: the French center back. Yes it's only four point five million, No,
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: don't want four point five million. I think it's really
• 29:52
  Speaker 4: really interesting and he's from Paris and we even played
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: in the same club in Paris not the same times
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: because I'm slightly older than him, slightly just the twenty years,
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: but that's fine, you know, but we still played for
• 30:05
  Speaker 4: the same team.
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: So yeah, he's a Litla boy like me.
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: So yeah, maybe I'm going to do my old Paris
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: starting eleven as you know, very soon. But yeah, yeah,
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: I think I think I think he's got a really
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: good case because, like some said, if they are solely defensively,
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: which I think the Tie can do easily, then I
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: think at that price to the boys, becomes a very
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: very attractive pick.
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: Sam.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: Someone that you mentioned is in your team now, Emil
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: smith Row I can't remember because my memory is useless.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: Had Smith Rowe signed for Fulham at the time of
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: our last recording.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: I feel like he had.
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: We mentioned him, I.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: Think, yeah, I feel like we have mentioned. We knew
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: that he was it was maybe happening.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so I think we spoke about him, but
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: his price point for what we know he can produce
• 30:54
  Speaker 1: at Arsenal, I'm not surprised that you've you've brought him
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: in because he could be big in that film. So
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: I know, so you had me at one point, didn't
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: you in your draft Obviously a lot of people now
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: aren't going to have Munas but will maybe have wanted
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: him as third forward. Smith Row's another nice way of
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: getting into that Fulham attack and maybe getting a share
• 31:11
  Speaker 1: of the goals potentially that Munas could score, because you'd
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: presume that he'll link up with smith.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: Row as well.
• 31:16
  Speaker 5: Absolutely, and I think what you just said is exactly
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: how my thought process went. It was I need to
• 31:20
  Speaker 5: take out it is because I want to put in Slanky,
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: but I don't want to deinvest in Fulham because I
• 31:26
  Speaker 5: like the idea of having Fulham for those opening fixtures
• 31:29
  Speaker 5: that they have, and we spoke about fixtures a lot
• 31:30
  Speaker 5: last week and they're so nice for Fulham to start
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: this season that I still wanted to be invested there.
• 31:35
  Speaker 5: So yeah, I mean he's played one hundred and twenty
• 31:37
  Speaker 5: six minutes in them in preseason. He's got a couple
• 31:39
  Speaker 5: of goals for them already. Like you said, we do
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: know what he can do. He has done that asked
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: in the past. He's been so unlucky and when he's
• 31:46
  Speaker 5: been Arsenal with injuries and then we're getting back into
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: the team because Arsenal have been playing so well that
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: it's been difficult for him to kind of break through. Yeah,
• 31:54
  Speaker 5: I mean what last season he made three starts, came
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: on a further ten times off the bench, But when
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: he was coming off the bench, he was coming off
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: in like the sixty eighth, seventy eighth, eightieth minutes. It
• 32:05
  Speaker 5: wasn't like he was getting loads of time. But he
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: did average five points per start when he was at
• 32:10
  Speaker 5: Arsenal last time around.
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: So if he can can.
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: Bring that form that he has and stay fit and
• 32:17
  Speaker 5: get regular starts and all of those are big potential
• 32:20
  Speaker 5: butts I suppose, But in that volumn team I would
• 32:23
  Speaker 5: expect that he will get regular starts, then I think
• 32:27
  Speaker 5: he could be a really really nice option and he's cheap,
• 32:29
  Speaker 5: So from that perspective, I think at five and a
• 32:32
  Speaker 5: half he offers good value for a starter in that
• 32:35
  Speaker 5: Fulham team with great fixtures.
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: Any other non Parisian signing ruels that I've forgotten that
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: you want to shout.
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: Out No with the fabric from Liverpool to Branford is
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: one to keep an eye on because it's quite low
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: price and we probably have some a couple of much
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: the United boys coming in in the Licht and Mazawi
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: especially more than the lit I think Mazawi as an
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: attacking full back, depending on his price, if the transfer
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: goes through and everything. I think mass how we could
• 33:02
  Speaker 4: be again quite interesting if you're looking for if the
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: price is right, and you're looking for somebody who would
• 33:10
  Speaker 4: keep a few clean sheets there and there, but more
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: importantly attacking wise, is one of those defenders, one of
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: those fullbacks.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: I think Masawe could be good. So at the moment,
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: that's the three that I wrote down.
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: How aware are you some of signings that happen this week?
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: And it can the slanky ones a prime example, isn't
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: it of how it can actually completely throw our whole teams?
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: And in a way, thank goodness that Posta Cooglo and
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: Spurs got that signing done last week rather than even
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: even after the deadline or after game week one, because
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: we'd have had to restructure things around a little bit.
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and we saw this last season, right, And some
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: managers will make signings in the final week and then
• 33:46
  Speaker 5: they won't start in the first game week and that's fine,
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: but Pasta Coogloo and Spurs don't tend to do that.
• 33:51
  Speaker 5: I mean, we signed Mickey Van Dervenluk three days before
• 33:53
  Speaker 5: the start of the season last year, and he still
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: got the start in that one, So I think you
• 33:57
  Speaker 5: have to be a little bit mindful of that. But
• 33:59
  Speaker 5: it's not just about the player that comes in. It's
• 34:01
  Speaker 5: also about the players that potentially either lose out and
• 34:04
  Speaker 5: don't start, who have been playing in pre season, or
• 34:07
  Speaker 5: the ones that shift position and end up playing somewhere different.
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: So it's just making sure that you keep like really
• 34:13
  Speaker 5: really close eye on what's happening ahead of game week one,
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: and then making sure that your team is reactive to
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: that because you can't do anything about it once game
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: week one hits. You're just going to have to use
• 34:24
  Speaker 5: your transfers to make those changes. But it's worth looking
• 34:28
  Speaker 5: at who might come in and even if it happens
• 34:31
  Speaker 5: after the deadline, who might it be that's going to
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: change the way that your team is, and then trying
• 34:36
  Speaker 5: as best as you can to maybe plan for that.
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: Okay, so keep an eye out. There could be another
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: Slanky on the horizon to throw up our whole entire teams.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: That'll be fun, mindset. Okay, I think I said last week,
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: but Differential of the Week has been so successful and
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: so entertaining for those of us that get to watch
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: on as Sam and jewels the vastal that we are
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: going to do it again. A reminder a differential players
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: that are owned but under ten sense of the game.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: Who won last season? Guys me, Sam's putting her hand up. Yes,
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: Sam wanted, Yeah, you beat.
• 35:07
  Speaker 5: Me over all, but I won the differentials, Okay, Jeels,
• 35:10
  Speaker 5: I think it's time winning.
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure, I've got a great I've got a
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: great one to start with, no surprise, really, but I
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: was going to let you.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: Go first because some actually won. But you've already it's Shota.
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: Oh, come on, seven on the ship, Sam, Hold on
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: a sec.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: Sam is the one that kind of writes the basis
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: of our script here differentials. At this stage of the season,
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: I've got another one for you.
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: Then I've got another one for you.
• 35:37
  Speaker 5: Well, to be fair, I did have Jotta as one
• 35:42
  Speaker 5: of my options, so I'm not going to go too
• 35:44
  Speaker 5: heavy on him for this because I also had a
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: similar thought.
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: I've got a better, better one.
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: I've got a better one I'm going to give you
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: because you're not happy.
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: With my You never come with two either. This is
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: amazing over new leads.
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: It's sort about planning, talent and vision. If you want
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: to finishersand in the world, you know what you have
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: to do.
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: Just tell us your differential.
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: Brighton incredible preseason, very good Lasson a fin nod online
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: from Newcastle. Good signing from Brighton five point five million,
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: which is really really cheap in the game for midfielder
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: owned by one point three percent of the managers so
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: far and everything away. Okay, not the easiest of a fixture.
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: I give you that for Brighton and the new coach
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: and the new team in a way. But I just
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: think that he has been electric so far in prison.
• 36:38
  Speaker 4: It was in the last friendly against Villa where he's
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: called again. He's got an iconic celebration. So I hope
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: we get to see the celebration this weekend.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: Okay, I like that one. That one was better.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: But Diogo Jotta, that feels like the kind of differential
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: that Sam would pick that you would shout out.
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: I mean, she picked habits like four times last season somehow,
• 36:55
  Speaker 4: and you let her.
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: Wow.
• 36:57
  Speaker 1: Wow, I've just I've laid out my stool there, I've
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: set my stall out. I'm being strict to this season.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: I want proper differentials, and you gave us one their duels.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: So well done, Sam can and then the title.
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: Still I picked just to annoy him.
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: No, I won't allow that. Defense of your title starts
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: now commences.
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: It starts here. Yes, it starts with Jared Bowen as
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: the first one of the season.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: And I think nothing for making a face, I'm not well.
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: No, I think Bowen counts. So who's got boring in
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: their teams?
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: Seven of like nine million players, nobody has jeels.
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: By the time game we won starts, Josh is going
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: to be owned by a lot more than ten percent,
• 37:40
  Speaker 5: right now, Okay.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: We should have Okay I didn't do this in advance,
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: but maybe we should have said this week that it's
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: players that they can't have had a brilliant season last
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: year because because Owen wasn't a differential.
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: Last year, he was one of the main players. No, Sam.
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: Hold on.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: Also, I think we might have exposed the one week
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: where Sam's only come with one player.
• 38:01
  Speaker 5: I've got three, so I've got I had jotter By,
• 38:04
  Speaker 5: who I knew Jules would pick, so I was like, well,
• 38:06
  Speaker 5: I'll pick another couple. So then I picked Bowen because
• 38:10
  Speaker 5: I think you'll be brilliant, and then my other one
• 38:12
  Speaker 5: is smith Row, so I can go Smith tell you what.
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: Let's do for this week. I'm just gonna sorry, I'm
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: just going to rewrite the rules.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: We're both allowed two differentials, so you can have Jotter
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: and Bowen as your first differentials. I'm saying that it's
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: not proper differentials. And then I want to deeply dive
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: differential though. Gone see deep dive differential with smith Row. Yeah, okay,
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: but you've got two. You can have Bowen is your
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: first one like Jews has got. Jotter is his first one.
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: Okay, So Bowen and Smith throw against time minte.
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 38:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know what this is going to do for
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: the scoring system. It's probably completely screwed up being fair
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: because both of you went for differentials that are technically differentials.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: But in terms of the wider picture, I don't really
• 38:52
  Speaker 1: feel like differentials. Smith Row is actually owned by more
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: of the game than Bowens.
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: That's mad, isn't it.
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: Yeahs to be less than ten percent.
• 39:02
  Speaker 5: So yeah, he is nine point seven. He's more than
• 39:05
  Speaker 5: Smith Rowy is owned by Jotter. He's owned by more
• 39:08
  Speaker 5: than Jared Bowen. He's owned by more than Week one,
• 39:11
  Speaker 5: and differential of the week is in disarray.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: This is because you've changed the rules.
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: Oh no, But I feel like by both of us
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: hammering Jost, we've kind of we've set ourselves up here
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: a bit.
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: Sam. I didn't hammer Jotter. I've got him as one
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: of options as well, but I'll go with smith Row.
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: It's fine.
• 39:27
  Speaker 5: So he got like I said earlier, he got just
• 39:29
  Speaker 5: three starts last season. He only played four hundred and
• 39:32
  Speaker 5: thirteen minutes for Arsenal, but he's already done one hundred
• 39:34
  Speaker 5: and twenty six for Fulham in preseason and scored two
• 39:37
  Speaker 5: goals for them. Like I said, when he was paying
• 39:41
  Speaker 5: for Arsenal, he got two assists and he was averaging
• 39:44
  Speaker 5: five points per start. Now you have to kind of
• 39:46
  Speaker 5: take that with a little bit of a pinch of
• 39:47
  Speaker 5: salt because he did only start in the three games.
• 39:49
  Speaker 5: But when he does start, he does tend to get
• 39:51
  Speaker 5: some attacking returns in that one and I think you know,
• 39:54
  Speaker 5: if you look at what's happened in preseason, he's come in,
• 39:57
  Speaker 5: he's already made quite an impact on that form team,
• 40:00
  Speaker 5: and I would expect that that would continue. And they've
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: got really nice fixtures going into this early part of
• 40:06
  Speaker 5: the season. So I think he's a differential that works
• 40:08
  Speaker 5: for game week one, but when you are picking a
• 40:11
  Speaker 5: deafer game week one, you do want them to kind
• 40:13
  Speaker 5: of be decent for the few weeks that follow as well,
• 40:16
  Speaker 5: So I think he's one that you could hold relatively
• 40:17
  Speaker 5: long term.
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: Two.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: Okay, good luck working on the scoring for that, to
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: be honest.
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: Because that's my job, so that'd be no.
• 40:23
  Speaker 5: I know.
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: That's why I was thinking, not only if I killed
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: your differential, I've also killed the scoring as well. But
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: just in the interest of fairness, you can both have
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: two this week, a differential and a differential captaincy. Then
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: are we all going to be going Harlem? Because that's
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: not the easiest fixture. But when you spend fifteen million
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: on a player, sounds hard not to captain him, doesn't it.
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: Jeels, Yeah, it does.
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: Although I'm really tempted by Jogo switch away from Liverpool
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: because of the form, because like we said, I think
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: Liverpool already they really are, and because he's differential, and
• 40:55
  Speaker 4: because yeah true, because I think a lot of people
• 40:58
  Speaker 4: are going to go for for hallan captain as well,
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: so I don't know Isak at home to Southampton or
• 41:05
  Speaker 4: Gordon if you have Gordon as you as your Newcastle player,
• 41:08
  Speaker 4: it's also very tempting. So for now it's on Jota,
• 41:12
  Speaker 4: but it might change to Harland or maybe even a Sak.
• 41:15
  Speaker 5: Yeah some nice options this week, isn't there some? Yeah,
• 41:18
  Speaker 5: mine's on Esak at the moment, but it could yet
• 41:20
  Speaker 5: move to Harlan because you know it's Harlan. I also
• 41:25
  Speaker 5: really love the idea of waiting to Monday night for
• 41:27
  Speaker 5: a captain and like, actually, if you've got a son,
• 41:30
  Speaker 5: his record on a Monday evening fixture it is ridiculous,
• 41:33
  Speaker 5: by the way, so you could you could look at
• 41:35
  Speaker 5: him on Monday evening if you want to go there.
• 41:37
  Speaker 5: But I think for me, if I had Salah, he'd
• 41:40
  Speaker 5: be in the conversation. But we all know I hate
• 41:42
  Speaker 5: captain and someone in the twelve thirty and just I
• 41:44
  Speaker 5: just don't enjoy it. And Liverpool don't tend to travel
• 41:47
  Speaker 5: well on the twelve thirty kickoff either historically, but it
• 41:50
  Speaker 5: is under a new manager and maybe times have changed.
• 41:53
  Speaker 5: I think Harland end up captain in Esak sounds so
• 41:56
  Speaker 5: interesting light I can't believe we've got the end of
• 41:58
  Speaker 5: the podcast that mentioning him. He's someone else that's probably
• 42:00
  Speaker 5: going to be a victim in terms of ownership of
• 42:03
  Speaker 5: that Solankee signing, isn't he? Because before Solanki signed, he
• 42:07
  Speaker 5: was a really nice option too, and he was steadily
• 42:09
  Speaker 5: growing in ownership. So he was kind of at this
• 42:12
  Speaker 5: eight when preseason started, where all of the other premium
• 42:16
  Speaker 5: options were in by like thirty percent of the game
• 42:18
  Speaker 5: and he was eight percent, and I was like, what
• 42:19
  Speaker 5: is happening? And then as preseason has gone on, his
• 42:23
  Speaker 5: ownership has steadily increased, and then it's taken a little
• 42:25
  Speaker 5: bit of a hit since the Solanki move because people
• 42:28
  Speaker 5: are thinking, well, why do I need to spend ten
• 42:30
  Speaker 5: when I could spend seven and a half on the
• 42:32
  Speaker 5: Spurs forward? And is all of that kind of internal
• 42:36
  Speaker 5: negotiation that you do with yourself, that's how much do
• 42:38
  Speaker 5: I need to spend on each club? And I think
• 42:41
  Speaker 5: Solanki will harm Son's ownership. So if you do have him,
• 42:45
  Speaker 5: he is going to be, although not officially a differential
• 42:47
  Speaker 5: because I think at the moment he's about eleven percent owned,
• 42:50
  Speaker 5: he will be a relatively good differential. If he was
• 42:53
  Speaker 5: a differential you'd have one hundred percent picked him. Oh
• 42:56
  Speaker 5: TOTALENTI and then.
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: We did two types of differentials this week, guys, come on.
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: Okay, so this is something that isn't in our plan,
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: and we do have to wrap up the podcast right now,
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: but we this is one of the first seasons in
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: a wild summer we haven't done any predictions, and I
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: just think it's quite nice to do it. So let's
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: just predict who we think is going to be the
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: highest scoring FPO player of the season. Jews, who do
• 43:19
  Speaker 1: you think it's going to be?
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: I would go put you on the spot here, I
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: give you.
• 43:27
  Speaker 5: I do think it will be Harlan Boringly. I think
• 43:29
  Speaker 5: you'll have a really good season this year.
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: I know I don't want to.
• 43:34
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I told you last week you went
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: fishing Salomon and stuff cutting trees.
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: Okay, Highlands.
• 43:46
  Speaker 1: Well that was a nice boring, was it? And who's
• 43:49
  Speaker 1: going to finish top out of us three? I'm gonna
• 43:52
  Speaker 1: I'm going to back Sam.
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: To retain this last season. I can't remember some super
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: Friends talent vision and planning.
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: I'm going to go for I'm going to go for Sam,
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: Jewles Kelly.
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: I'm really backing myself, Jeels, You're going to go for Jeels,
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: Sam Kelly probably, Yeah, Yeah, I need to.
• 44:12
  Speaker 4: Win this again to show that last season was not
• 44:14
  Speaker 4: fluke and then and then Sam at some point can't
• 44:17
  Speaker 4: be as bad as she was last season for most
• 44:19
  Speaker 4: of it.
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: So she finished second.
• 44:21
  Speaker 4: And you, Kelly, because you know, you do all your
• 44:23
  Speaker 4: transfers like five minutes before deadline every time.
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: I just love a panic, don't know.
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but all three of us will be in the
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: top fifty thousand in the world.
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: This is this is my board product, that's my that's
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: my that's my target as well. Actually yeah, I was
• 44:37
  Speaker 1: kind of at points floating towards it, but points floating
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: outside the top one hundred. So yeah, Sam, why do
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: you think we're all going to finish? And what do
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: you want to finish?
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: Overall? What's your target?
• 44:47
  Speaker 5: Our teams are going to end up being quite similar again,
• 44:49
  Speaker 5: So if I have a good season, you'll have a
• 44:51
  Speaker 5: good season. That's how I feel all the time.
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: That's why.
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but I beat her last season, so why would
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: I copy her?
• 44:57
  Speaker 5: Exactly? We just think the same way, Kelly, that's all it.
• 45:01
  Speaker 5: I mean, I've got to have a best season. I
• 45:03
  Speaker 5: can't do this again.
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: I can't again. Maybe you should start copying me, Kelly.
• 45:13
  Speaker 5: It's impossible for someone to copy you because you make
• 45:15
  Speaker 5: your transfers two minutes before the deadline, so nobody can
• 45:18
  Speaker 5: copy what you're doing.
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: And there's some ridiculous places on this YouTube thing. Now
• 45:21
  Speaker 1: I've just forgotten that we're actually on YouTube, and I'm
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: making all these like pointing at you.
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: I need to start.
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: In fact, I'm going to end the podcast here before
• 45:28
  Speaker 1: embarrassing myself. So Sam, you think, are you going to
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: are you backing yourself to finish on top of the
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: three of us?
• 45:32
  Speaker 5: Yeah, surely and then me bottom. No, I'll beg you
• 45:36
  Speaker 5: to finish above Jewels this year. Cal Yes, and what's
• 45:40
  Speaker 5: your target? It's always top ten K and I need
• 45:43
  Speaker 5: a good season after last year. Okay, very best of
• 45:46
  Speaker 5: luck with it, guys.
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: This is it, This is where we begin. Then how
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: long would you say your drafts are a percentage wise?
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: Jewels?
• 45:53
  Speaker 1: Jewls is playing basketball again. For those of you not
• 45:55
  Speaker 1: tuning it on YouTube, I know.
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: This should be it. This should be it, now, should
• 45:59
  Speaker 3: be it.
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm in decisive. You're more indecisive than me. The
• 46:04
  Speaker 1: amount of times you go. I'm going to captain.
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: Saturday one captain see, but there will be no changes
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: now to the team.
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: Between now and no changes.
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: Why would I change unles somebody gets injured our training,
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: But otherwise.
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: I'm going to check your team and check I told
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: you your account to you, Sam how.
• 46:22

• 46:28
  Speaker 1: Your favorite I'm going to let you go and finish
