S3 Ep17: Off The Bench: Caution for Cole Palmer sellers · FPL Pod

• 0:16
  Speaker 1: Welcome back to this week's Off the Bench podcast from
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: the Premier League. I'm Janny Batici.
• 0:20
  Speaker 2: And here your journey this express.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: Hey Praz, good to see you and look. In Game
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: MEE twenty two, we had most of the captains the
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: options blanking, so it was nice this game week is
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: in Game me twenty three. They all returned with big scores,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: especially for Esak and Salah. Did you captain Salah and
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: how is your game week in general?
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: I did captain Salad getting it wrong every week between
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: Salah and Esak, but no, I had a good week generally.
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: I had sixty seven points. I'm on the cusp of
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: top ten k. I'm at ten point five K, so
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: it's been good. But you know, there were a few disappointments,
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: lots to talk about today, so we'll get into it.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: But how was your week as well?
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, not too bad, sixty four so just a small
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: narrow for me. But yeah, it was nice to have
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: the big return from Cody Gakpom. We'll speak about him
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: later and Liverpool in general because Liverpool of course have
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: that double game week coming up. As de Everton and
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: gakpo I think he's going to be very popular this week.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: But yeah, sixteen point haul from him. The week I
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: brought him in, selling Nico Jackson felt like a big
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: weight off my shoulders. So I was very happy with
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: that transfer this week. But should we kick off with
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: that Newcastle game because Esak is performing to I think
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: new heights. I don't think we've ever seen Esak with
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: this level of consistency. He's the best player in the
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: game at the minute alongside Salah, isn't he.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: I mean from a value from money perspective, he's probably
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: the best player in the game.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: Just keeps getting returns.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: He was so close to this Vardi thing as well,
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: the number of goals consecutive consecutive games missed out obviously
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: in the last game week, but this one again, I
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: mean I was thinking, you know, Salah's home to Ipswich,
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: why not captain him? But this guy comes up with
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: a triple return and he's just involved in everything. And
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: he's just a complete striker, right, not just involved in
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: the goals, but in the overall build up and the
• 2:03
  Speaker 3: trance creation as well.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Do you know Newcastle not playing any European football I
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: think really helps Esak in general because we know he's
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: had his problems with fitness, but Newcastle has a team
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: and every weekend Newcastle just look completely fresh. And I
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: think back to a couple of years ago when they
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: did play in the Champions League and had that really
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: tough group with teams like PSG and ac Malan, and
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: I remember Newcastle really suffered off the back of that
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: their Premier League form. So yeah, we're seeing a fresh
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: at Esac and I think he could even get the
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Golden Golden Boot this season. I think he's two behind
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Salar as things stand, but we know European involvement, Esak
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: maybe has the edge. What do you make of Gordon
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: Praz because both Gordon and Murphy that is some front
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: three that is delivering. I feel like Gordon should have
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: produced more points than he has in recent weeks, but
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: both Gordon and Murphy are passing the eye test and
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: the underlying numbers don't look bad either.
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: They haven't. And I've on Gordon for five weeks now.
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: He's pretty much got to return every single week and
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: every game I watch with him, one return just doesn't
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: feel enough every single game. But you know, at some
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: point you have to be happy he's still trickling you know,
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: six to seven points a game week on average over
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: the recent past, so I've been happy with the doublop.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: I guess the question is, and this is you know
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: people with double ups or even triple ups, people have
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: Lewis Hale in addition, or even a Murphy. I guess
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: the question is what happens next? Because they have a
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: nice fixture this week, which is Fulham at home or
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: the Fulham have been good defensively, we'll talk about them,
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: but then they go away to man City, they play Forest,
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: they go away to Liverpool, then they have west Ham
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: which is nice, but then they could blanket game Wick
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: twenty nine.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: So what are you thinking? I mean, do you have
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: Gordon or Whole?
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've got loose Hole and I mean he's been
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: brilliant and he steps up with the cysts. I think
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: I paid four point four for Lewis Hall, so I
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: had a really nice entry point and he's gone up
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: in price since the fact he takes half the set
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: pieces is really appealing. So even in fixes when Newcastle
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: don't know that they'll keep a clean sheet, you always
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: back Hole for an attacking return and if he gets one,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: he does so well in the bonus point system Lewis Hall,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: and especially if they do keep a clean sheet, he's
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: almost guaranteed bonus. So I'm happy holding Haul. I don't
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: quite know if i'd be as happy holding Gordon because
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: of his price point. I also look at Jacob Murphy
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: and think Gordon and Murphy are performing to similar levels.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: And with Harvey Barnes injured, I think Murphy's first choice anyway,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: but Harvey Barnes injured even more so we know he's
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: going to be on the team sheet every week Murphy,
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: and you save a couple of million. And with players
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: like in Burmo performing so well, Gordon, owners will be
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: looking at and Burmo thinking is that an easy switch?
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: Maybe it is, But yeah, I'm still relatively hot on newcast.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: I think they're functioning so so well as a team.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm with you, I'm with you.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: And it is that in Boomo temptation for people like
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: myself who don't have him. He's playing home to Spurs
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: and vs. What Spurs did this weekend, and we'll talk
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: about them in more detail. But yeah, I think it's
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: a move where if you have him, it's okay to hold,
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: but it's okay okay, also to look at options because
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: I think there are new other picks emerging, the Bournemouth midfielders,
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: the Boomos, and so we will talk about those, but
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: let's talk about Arsenal. My double defense from Arsenal finally
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: comes through Raya Deliverers with their nin pointer and Gabrielle
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: with a seven pointer.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: What did you make of them?
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: Oh?
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Mate, I knew it was coming. I was gutted. I'm
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: one of the few out there that don't own an
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: Arsenal defender. I mean I was on Gabrielle like the
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: world and their dog until probably three four game weeks ago.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: I needed funds. He was my make weight and I've
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: been getting quite lucky until this game against against Wolves.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: Arsenal hadn't kept a clean sheet in four weeks and
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: I was thinking, how am I getting away with these
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Gabrielle one and two pointers. So it was about time
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: they kept a clean and they always looked like they
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: were going to do against Wolves, even when they go
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: down to ten men. You look at Arsenal when they
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: actually were ten men, they feel equally as likely to
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: be able to part the bus and Wolves had very
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: few chances and fair play if You've kept the faith
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: with double Arsenal defense, and it was nice to see
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: for all those that have had raya clean sheet wipeouts
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: him getting the nine points. I feel like it was deserved.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: And Ryan does feel like one of the go to
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: keepers in the game. We know that, and he's someone
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: I'm actually quite keen to buy Ryer. I think I'll
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: end up finishing this season with Ryan, and we know
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Arsenal will end up being probably the best defensive team
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: in the league come the end of the season. We've
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: seen Forest so so good. But I think history tells
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: us under Arteta, Arsenal just keep clean sheets and arsden
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: were very good at winning one nil and this was
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: a proper boring, boring one nil victory, wasn't it. They
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: remind me a little bit of Jose Mourinho's Chelsea. This
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Arsenal team. They grind out results, they keep clean sheets,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: they don't score many and when sackers out the team,
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: the output at the top of the pitch just isn't
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: the same as it.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, I think I am a big sucker fan from
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: an FBL perspective. I just think he's a brilliant Like
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: if you had to manufacture an FBL pick, it would
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: be Sucko on pens, the talisman on corners, which is
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: very important for Arsenal, and so you know I have
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: in all my drafts and so I really miss him.
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I completely agree with you. It's a team
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: that is very functional. And I had the same feeling
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: when they got the red card. My feeling was, Okay,
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: that's actually the clean sheet locked because we've seen them
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: now a few times and they are now experienced playing
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: with ten men this season. This wasn't first red card
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: of the season either. A little bit unlucky Louis Kelly
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: to get that red card.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so. It was a really it was
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: a really close call, wasn't it. I Mean you don't
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: see that given often as a red. I think most
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: fans in the stadium would have thought, oh, here comes
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: a yellow. So yeah, a little bit of a shock
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: factor there. But then Califiory comes off the bench at
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: halftime and he's the one that gets the winner.
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: So you know his goal threat is actually legitimate.
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: I mean he has been popping up with golds quite
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: a bit, so one to monitor maybe maybe at the
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: back end of the season or even next season.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: Mate Kalifiory has the technique of a midfielder and he
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: hits the ball so so clean. He's he didn't score
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: like loads of goals in Seriah, but if you if
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: you search Califiori's like early days in Saraa, you'll find
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: a couple of worldly efforts. There was one I remember
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: at Bologna a lot, but also I think it was
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: a half folly from the edge of the box in
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: the Europa League for roma worth searching them on YouTube,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: like it's so so good he does. He does have
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: gold throat. We saw it against man City earlier in
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: the season and obviously we saw it again against Wolves.
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: Just hits the ball really clean, poetry in motion. Calafiori
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: hits the ball. I'm a bit of a fan boy there.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: I knew bringing up an Italian player would take us
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: into it into a different part. Let's come back to attackers.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: Haverts disappointed again. He has had so many good chances
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: and you know, I know they're not many owners of
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: Havert's left, but whoever they are, I mean, they were
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: very unlucky not to get multiple returns over the.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: Last few weeks. Because he keeps getting these headed chances
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: and he keeps missing.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Them, I know, and he's getting in the positions, and
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: with Saker out the team, it feels like they're going
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: quite direct, and Hartz is one of the beneficiaries of that.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: I guess.
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: I do think his numbers will be all right and
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: it will tickle on quite nicely. I don't think Harts
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: is a bad owner at all, but of course you'll
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: be you'll feel really unlucky because you're seeing the chances,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: but the output's just not been there. And again, when
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: you look at that price point up front, you're seeing
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: other players that are slightly cheaper picking up way more points,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: the likes of Chris Wood or more recently Cody Gakpo.
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: So it's probably quite hard and probably quite frustrating to
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: be keeping a Kai habits at the minute.
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and lastly, on this game, I do want to
• 8:59
  Speaker 3: shout our Kunya. He had four goal attempts, the highest
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: in the match, more than anyone else, and it's one
• 9:06
  Speaker 3: of those things where you know, people who had Kunya
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: know what he can deliver. Of course, there's some transfer
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: speculation going on, so you know, I wouldn't jump on
• 9:14
  Speaker 3: him now, but I really like him from game Bik
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: twenty six Wolves fixtures turn he has a confirmed game
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: in game week twenty nine, which is the which is
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: the weekend of the Karraba Cup Final where the team's
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: in the Karba Cup final will blank. And so he
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: could beak someone who's coming back into the four. Maybe
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: by gimme twenty six twenty seven.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: He was unbelievable for so many managers a month or
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: two ago. Kunya. And when we talk about Soakka being
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: the sort of perfect FPL pick, like the set piece threat,
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: the pens, the ninety minutes, the talisman of the team,
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Cunya is very similar at Wolves. Right when Wolves score
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: goals or Wolves get points, it's Kunya. And I remember
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: when I bought Kunya. I remember thinking there's a huge
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: price difference between the strand laston and a Kunya. Yeah,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: they're both playing in a similar position for a fairly
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: sort of mediocre team. You look at the difference in
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: output and it's absolutely worth spending six point nine million
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: on Akunya because he does still provide brilliant value for money.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I think coun you will be really popular
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: in a few weeks time.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: Same as you.
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: There's a few strikers emerging in the sixth and a
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: half to seven and a half price recket. There's obviously Cornea.
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: We talked to Brad Chris Wood. There is also Cordy Gagpos.
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: So I've got you a whole this weekend tell us
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: about it.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: I was so happy with that. I just felt like
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: we knew Liverpool were going to have this good looking
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: double game week after the double its Wolves, but before
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: the double they were presented with an Ipswich fixture which
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: just looks so good on paper. Knowing that Ipswich had
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: just lost six mil to man City and Liverpool. Aumfield
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: are a different beast, so I always fancied a high
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: ceiling and I was very likely to make that move
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: for Ipswich. And then we saw in the Champions League
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: against Lil Gakpo get arrest. I think Gakpo's now ten
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: or eleven consecutive starts in the Premier League on the
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: left hand side, make no doubt about it. He's been
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: first choice for a very long time and eight goals,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: three assists in fourteen starts. He's looking good and lots
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: of those returns do come at at Amfield. But the
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: gold right is there and the way they play with
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: Diaz is the number nine. The as is pretty much
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: a false nine, and therefore that central space Gackpo often
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: occupies and him and Da sort of rotate on the left.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: One is always in the nine and one is always
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: on the left. So it looks great for Gakpo moving forward,
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: and he's proper cheap entry to the Liverpool attack at
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: his price point. Yeah, he's going to be very popular
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: this week.
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: I was on the fence, which is why I didn't
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: do this.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: So I obviously was thinking about Chris Wood to Gakpo
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: last weekend, but I was also debating shall I just
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: go for Allison or a Konnate as a double defense?
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: But it does feel very appealing. I am, though, concerned
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: that the double is both away games. Like you mentioned,
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: nine of his eleven returns more recently have come at anfield.
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: But then you think that after the double, so let's say, okay,
• 11:50
  Speaker 3: the double is hard. It's a way Everton who are
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: doing really well. It's away Bonnemouth who are absolutely doing
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: really well, and then you have home to Wolves, which
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: is basically nice. If you look at it as a
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: block of three, it's not too bad. Rad Yeah, I
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: think so block of three extra fixture. You're right, Bournemouth
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: and Everton away fixtures are much much trickier. But you
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: still fancy Liverpool to score goals. And if gap Poe's
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: getting seventy five minutes in both those games, and I
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: think he probably does minimum, then I'm very happy. It
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: is worth noting that double game week. There's there's two
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: fixtures for Liverpool between the first and second game. They've
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: got an AFL game against semi final against Spurs, then
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: they've got the FA Cup versus Plymouth and then they've
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: got the second part of the double game week. So
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: gap Post should be rested versus Plymouth, which bodes well
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: for Premier League minutes. But we should also talk about
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: subots Lie because his numbers were incredible at the weekend,
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: weren't they. He has been actually quietly, you know, racking
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: up the shots. He was the leading shot taker for
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: a second game running so you know. Ernest Slot after
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: the game was asked you know, what do you think
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: of sir boss Le's gold threat and he actually singled
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: him out and he said, look, he used to always
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: be shy to take a shot. He does it for Hungary,
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: but not for Liverpool in even in this game in
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: which he scored, I would have expected him only season
• 13:00
  Speaker 3: two passes to Salah because he just did that. But
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: now he started to be more confident and take more shots. Look,
• 13:07
  Speaker 3: is he a long term option. No, But if your
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: structure is such that you don't want to lose a striker,
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: you don't want to get a double Liverpool, you want
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: somebody for just a double and maybe the rules game.
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: Maybe he's not a bad shout at six point four million.
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: It's just a structure thing. I mean, clearly Gakpoo is
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: a better choice. But I think people could look at
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: him and just say, look, this is this is a
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: fine option for the double.
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, even that Salad goal, the Gakpo cross, it was
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: very nearly a spot slight header. And he's had a
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: complete different change of position under slot like under Jurgen
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: Klop he was very much a number eight and we
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: had all seen him play for Hungary and think, oh
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: this is exciting in the Premier League is getting a
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: proper good number ten with goal threat And we never
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: really saw it on the Clop under on a slot.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: We see it. He's that little bit higher up the pitch.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: And when Diaz is playing as the number nine, because
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: Diaz drifts left. When you look at the average position map,
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: spots Lie is level pegging with Diaz. That's sort of
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: both playing as nine and a half. They're sort of
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: both playing folks nine spots on the right, the has
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: on the left. He's really really advanced. And when you've
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: got McAllister Gravinbirch and Trent Alexander Arnold all behind you,
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: because Trent is inverting quite often, he's got complete license
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: and with no number nine he can occupy those spaces
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: alongside the as from that right hand side. So the
• 14:17
  Speaker 1: average position map is brilliant for the Hungarian.
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: Yep, he's a decent shout. I mean I wouldn't for
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: people who own Lewis Diaz. I mean my suggestion would be,
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: now you've got to hold him. It's fine. I mean,
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: he's still a decent pick. He does have the goal,
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: the odd goal in now in this particular game, he
• 14:33
  Speaker 3: didn't have a single shot, but he did have six
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: shots last week, so it's not like it's completely the
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: bad pick. And I saw people debating whether they should
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: sell Diaz to buy a Gatbo. I think the more
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: you go closer to the double game, Wick, and now
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: we're here, I think you have to sort of just
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: lie in the bed that you've made because it is
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: essentially using transfers to move around your Liverpool picks. Isn't ideal.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: And those on double defense, what do you think, Journey.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: I prefer double attack. If you're on double defense, your
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: fingers and you hope you get two clean sheets out
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: the next three games, and I think you've got a
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: slim chance there. I expect Liverpool to get one cleaner
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: the next three. I don't know. Two is maybe wishful thinking,
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: but very possible, of course. But the ceiling is definitely
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: there for the attacking players. Is the ceiling there for
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: double defense, probably not. Is the ceiling there for double
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: attack absolutely, And I think if you've still got that
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: decision to making you own to Liverpool already, double attack
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: is considerably better than double defense. For me, it's probably
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: a little bit riskier, but it definitely will come with
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: bigger rewards.
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I agree with you, Although to the
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: guys who do have double defense, I think, look, there
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: is a positive there. It is a long term pick.
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: So whoever you've got even kunat looks like long term,
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: so you don't have to worry about them till your
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: next wild card, So you can get to an Allison,
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: get a Vander get a Kunate. They're there set in
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: forget for a very long time. It's just not the double.
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: Whereas the people who are getting the attackers for the double,
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: they may have to look at another transfer in three
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: or four weeks, which is also fine. But I wouldn't
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: panic if you and double defense.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's a really good point about the longevity of
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: it on the defenders. I think you're absolutely right there.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: And how do you feel about triple caps in this week?
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Pras if you've still got the chip, this is surely
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: the week to pull the trigger, isn't it Salah?
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: I think so. Look, I think it's not an obvious double.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: You know it is Mosalah who's on in the form
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: of his life. Liverpool are scoring goals for fun, so
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: why wouldn't you triple captain Salah in a double game week?
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: So it feels very sensible to do so. But when
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: you start to overthink it a little bit and say
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: bone with her playing in an amazing way at home,
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: especially Everton under Moyes are looking solid. It's the last
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: Merseyside Davy at Goodison Park and so it feels like
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: not a huge upside triple captaincy.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: But it's the sensible choice.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: There's obviously the conflicting argument that you could maybe play
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: the assistant manager chip. So have you given that a
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: thought in terms of playing it on Moyes or even Ernestlot.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: I definitely have. I've definitely given it a thought for
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: Moyes because I'm chasing this season. I'm all in it
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: for those bonus points to ten bonus for a win
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: with the assistant manager chip for beating a team that
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: five places are more above you in the Premier League table,
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: and the five bonus for a draw if you draw
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: against a team that are five or more places above
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: you in the Premier League table. And therefore going for
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: a manager like Moy's probably makes sense for me. I
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: don't know if I'll be going in twenty four or not,
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: but when I use it, almost certainly or beyond managers
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: that are kind of mid to lower end in the
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: table that can activate that bonus with the right fixture matchups.
• 17:27
  Speaker 1: Moys presents us with a good opportunity in twenty four.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: I went into twenty three saying, if Moys beats Brighton,
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: I'll consider him for the assistant manager chip in twenty four.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: But I also need to see a performance versus Brighton.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure if I saw it. I saw the
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: result and it was brilliant and they relied. Obviously the
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: penalty gets in the win. Outside of that penalty there
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: was very little shot volume, there was very little XG.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: They were very good defensively, but I don't know if
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: I can see enough from Everton in attack to go
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: and score goals even against Leicester, Like, yeah, I expect
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: them to probably win, but that's no banker lesser of
• 18:02
  Speaker 1: course beating Spurs over the weekend. So I'm less confident
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: on the assistant manager chip now than I was perhaps
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: on Saturday afternoon when I just saw the result. I
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: hadn't seen the performance for the bright and Everting game.
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: But yeah, it's definitely front of mind. And if you
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: go twenty four or Moy's the switch to twenty five
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: to go on silver who plays Nottingham Forest at home? Again?
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: The active they activating the bonus very possible there for
• 18:26
  Speaker 1: Fulham to beat Forest at home. I quite fancy so
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: it's definitely on my mind.
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and actually just moving that forward. I like the
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: Moyers to Marcos silver switch because you get the table
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: bonus for first home to Nottingham first and the week
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: after IP switch at home to Spurs. Now this is
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: really sad to say, but there is no table bonus
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: yet because Spurs are not five places above its switch.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: They could be because Everton actually played twice and can
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: overtake them. So it's something that you have to take
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: a leap of faith on and if you don't get there,
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: then just put it in an arsenal, you know on Arteta.
• 18:59
  Speaker 3: So there are options there, but you need to keep
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: in mind if you're playing the assistant manager Chip that
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: a you need to have the budget to move around.
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: So let's say if you want to go to GAB
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: twenty six and get Arteta, you need to have more
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: funds to actually buy him. You need to use up transfers,
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: which I would advise people to do because I think
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: it's worth chasing that table bonus through different managers. So
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: I think it's an option and people need to give
• 19:20
  Speaker 3: it a little bit of thought. Now I don't have
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: my triple captain Chip, so I'm just going to not
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: play a chip this week, which is going to be
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: painful from a rank perspective, but it is what it is.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: I think there'll be a couple of doubles coming up,
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: but I think people who have both the assistant manager
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: and the Triple Captain they really have a decision to
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: make whether to which one to play this week. Because
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: in game week thirty three, which is far away, I
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: know Salah will play Lester.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: That is another double game week. If Liverpool make.
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: It to the Carbo Cup final, it is another week
• 19:47
  Speaker 3: where you can play the triple Captains. We won't go
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: into much more detail about the chip strategies, but it's
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: just fascinating and there's a choice to be made for
• 19:55
  Speaker 3: people with both the chips.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm like you. I've used the Triple Capsincy already.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: The assistant manager is an option for me. I've left
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: one point eight million in the bank going into this
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: game week, so i can go down that route of
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: assistant manager if I want to, and I've got a
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: couple of free transfers. But the big thing for me
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: is do I want to be using transfers on managers
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: in the next few weeks? Or do I want to be
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: accumulating them knowing twenty nine is going to be a
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: big blank game week and I might not want to
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: use a free hit in twenty nine. But yeah, do
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: follow the Thursday pod guys for more on chip strategy
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: throughout the season. But of course this podcast, every single
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: episode now will allude to chip strategy moving forward, which
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: is going to be so exciting. It really is the
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: time of the season. Refpl managers have a lot of
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: fun around the chips. If you're looking for rank gains,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: you can absolutely get them around the chips. We should
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: just touch on that dcl injury shouldn't be pros because
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: he was being eyed up by a few managers in
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: terms of Everton players for the double At the moment,
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: I'm going into the double game week with Mikkelenko. I'm
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: probably only Mikalenko, but were you looking at other Everton players?
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: So I was curious about dcl as well. Now we've
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: all been at least I have been burnt by dcl
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: in the past, got him for like six weeks, didn't
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: and then when he scored, I was curious, And then
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: of course when he's injured, then there's a question do
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: you want to go for someone else? So I don't
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: like better the replacement because Everton are in the transfer
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: market for another striker and you just never know. He
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: may not even play the second game. He definitely may
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: not be playing the game we twenty nine blank when
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: you want him to play, and then you're thinking, then
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: you have in die do you want him? He took
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: a pen which was nice, but he had zero pen
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: box touches apart from that, so literally the penalty was
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: the only touch in the box that he had.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: That's not very inspiring.
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: And so yes, they have Lester at home, which has
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: the upside, but I'm not feeling it in terms of
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: Everton attackers.
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: No, I'm not. I feel like there are transfer outweit's
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: happened as well. I think if you're buying Everton players,
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: you need to be able to hide them on your
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: bench moving forward or sell them, and to sell them
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: you're going to need lots of free transfers. So it's
• 21:48
  Speaker 1: not just bringing in an Everton player. Are you using
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: a transfer there? But you're also using probably a transfer
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: to sell them. Is it worth it just to have
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: a double game week of Leicester in Liverpool for a
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: team doesn't score many goals, I'm not so sure it is.
• 21:59
  Speaker 1: But sheets, I mean, very possible. They get a clean
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: sheet against Leicester sheet against Liverpool is obviously very unlikely.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: But you could back a Pickford for save points in
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: there too, can't you.
• 22:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, And something very interesting that Moyes said at the
• 22:12
  Speaker 3: end of the game. He actually gave a shout out
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: to Seandich and he said, look, I've taken over this
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: team that had some work to be done, but this,
• 22:20
  Speaker 3: you know, the discipline, the defensive shape was already coached
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: in really really well. Of course you'd expect that with
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: Shon Dish, so Moyes was already saying that, Look, I'm
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: very happy with how this team is setting up defensively,
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: which you know, we know Moyes for.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: Over the years.
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: He's also a little bit of defense first manager. So
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: actually getting one of their defenders, two of their defenders,
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: getting a Pickford, all of that makes a lot more
• 22:41
  Speaker 3: sense than going for the attacker, at least to me.
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: But it's all structure dependent, team dependent.
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, when you have a manager following another manager that
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: have similar principles, it makes complete sense. It was smart
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: from Everton by going moys because they knew this was
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: a team that had been coached and was set up
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: to be defense first, which is what Moyes's main philosophy
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: is aligned to as well. So yeah, good match up
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: there and not surprised to see Everton doing well. I
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: think they'll continue to. I don't think I can see
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: an upset though against Liverpool. If they'd score a or
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: if they manage to get a drawer against Liverpool in
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: the last Merseyside derby at Goodison, no, that would be huge.
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: And again if you're on the assistant manager Chip, it's
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: not three for a draw, it's eight for a draw
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: for Moise against Liverpool because of the table bonus.
• 23:18
  Speaker 3: Do you know how much Moyer's got this this week
• 23:21
  Speaker 3: as if you had played the assistant manager Chip this
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: week on.
• 23:24
  Speaker 1: Him o'h go on it with nineteen point clean sheet,
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: the goal and then the sixteenth for the win and.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: The table bonus.
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: I mean absolutely huge and that's the power of the
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: assistant manager ship. Now those are difficult to con like
• 23:36
  Speaker 3: before the game, would you have said that Everton will
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: be brighton one nill You wouldn't have. But that's basically
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: where assistant manager Chip has the ability to transform your
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: season if you get it right or if you get
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: a little bit lucky.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I do think there'll be a fairview that
• 23:49
  Speaker 1: the punt on Moisey this game week I might be
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: one of them. I'm genuinely fifty to fifty on it.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: The other time to maybe use that chip for me
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: will be towards the end of the season, the thirty
• 23:58
  Speaker 1: six double, which we know we'll get. Should we talk
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Patison Brentford?
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: I just went to touch on jau Pedro as well.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: Do you want Jean Pedro? How with you?
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: It's been frustrating, but you have to manage expectations when
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: you're looking at a five point six million forward. He's
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: not going to be a one in He shouldn't be
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: a one in two man, but at the moment he's
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: not even a one in three man, so it's a
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: little bit of a problem. All the ingredients are there.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: We spoke about Kunya and Soaka jau Pedro club's best player,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: ninety minute man, penalties, some of the set pieces like,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: he has all the ingredients and the shot volume's kind
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: of there too, and it's a well functioning attack. A
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: lot of the time I think I'm keeping the faith.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: I'm just backing the fact that he aligns to all
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: of those things I've just mentioned and he'll come good.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: But it's been really frustrating.
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm in a similar broad to where I think
• 24:47
  Speaker 3: he did have three shots in this game, actually more
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: than anybody else. So it's there, pens minutes. All of
• 24:53
  Speaker 3: this is fine. It's just Brighton just don't know how
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: to basically attack low blocks, so everything really able to
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: keep them out. So I'm not very bullish against Nottingham Forest.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: But actually after Nottingham Forest home to Chelsea, I love
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: that fixture away to Southampton, really like that fixture home
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: to Bournemouth.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: Like it.
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: So I think the fixtures coming up, he's not a
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: bad choice. I get people are getting frustrated, but I
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: see people doing jau Pedro to Inde. It's fine, like
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: he's okay this week, but after this week I wont
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: Jaro Pedro instead of Inde. So it's just something to
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: talk about it, and I thought it was worth touching
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: on for this game.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right to highlight some of those low block
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: fixtures as well, like jau Pedro has scored eight points
• 25:30
  Speaker 1: versus Man United this season eight points versus Arsenal eleven
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: versus man City twelve versus Bournemouth. He likes playing good
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: teams that play possession football, front for football, and he's
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: got a couple of those fixtures coming up as you say,
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Chelsea and Southampton, and two good fixtures for him. So yeah,
• 25:45
  Speaker 1: I'm keeping the faith and we do have to manage
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: expectations because of that price point. I know there's a
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: player out there we don't have praz and both you
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: and I love him and probably want to buy him
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: at the nearest opportunity, and that is in Burmo. And
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: do you own him Burmo?
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: I do not own him.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: And okay, it's a very very good chance that I
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: will be owning in Boomo by the deadline.
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: Oh okay, So you're looking at entry. See, most transfers
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: this week are going to be on Liverpool and Everton
• 26:10
  Speaker 1: players only. But for you, you're like, no, this fixture
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: is brilliant, it's good enough. The entry point is great
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: for twenty four to be buying in Burmo now exactly.
• 26:18
  Speaker 3: Look, I think it's a little bit of a difficult one.
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: Like people who can get to him without sacrificing somebody.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: But the midfield's midfield is.
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: Such prime real estate as usual that you know, if
• 26:29
  Speaker 3: you have a Salah, you have a Palmer, you want
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: to get a bone with midfielder. Given the form that
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: they're in, you want to get in Boomo. You know
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: a crystal palace midfielder is doing well. If you're talking
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: about an Essa, you know you have a Gordon. There's
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: just so many good picks that I might be tempted
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: to sell at Gordon this week and get in Boomo
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: because look, he showed in this game perfectly why he's
• 26:49
  Speaker 3: the he's the great FBO pick and why everybody raves
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: about him. Gets a couple of chances even though he
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: misses them, gets a penalty, walks away with a seven pointer.
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: He was just very close to who are two bonus
• 27:01
  Speaker 3: as well? Yeah, I just feel with their fixture run
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: with a confirmed fiction in Game Big twenty nine, I
• 27:07
  Speaker 3: think it's a great entry point for Boom.
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: At times this season he's felt like the best player,
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: best value player in the game, isn't he? He ranks
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: so highly in terms of total points. He started the
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: season at seven million, like he's seven point eight now.
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: But that's phenomenal value, isn't it Like and Brentford that again,
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: they're a team that always produced big, high quality chances.
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: That's so good at that, and unlike say Brighton that
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: might produce a lot of chances, but a lot of
• 27:30
  Speaker 1: small chances. You know, you come away from every Brentford
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: game to say and Burmo's had a big chance and
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: it just happens. They find ways of creating big chances
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: and he's the best beneficiary.
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:39
  Speaker 3: And I don't know if you saw the end of
• 27:42
  Speaker 3: those game. End of the game as a non honer
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: watching in Boomore playing the ninety third minute, and they're
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: basically you know, they they loft the ball upfield and
• 27:51
  Speaker 3: in Bomo is running. He's really fast and he gets
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: at the end of those chances. His second return usually
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: comes in those games in the ninety fifth minute where
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: he's throw on good because he gets the minute. So, look,
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: I think is the essential this week? Maybe not, you
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: don't have to get you know, but it depends what
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: to believe about Spurs and how open that game will be.
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: I think it'll be very open, and I think it's
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: a great entry point to get them Borre.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and after Spurs it's west Ham, but then Leicester
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: like that, and he's certainly a player that can bully
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: weaker opposition in Burmo, so yeah, all eyes on him,
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: I'm sure, and that even outside of a Burmo, I
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: think this is still a legit option as well if
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: it's suitsure team structure and Burmo is the better pick.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: But this has still been very good this season. Or
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: do we make a palace praz because I don't think
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: many expected Brentford to win it. Sell us part, that's
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: a tough place to go and win, and many of
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: us have had palace players. Matteta has been popular, Esa
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: has been popular, Sara has been popular, and I own
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Mina's who got the assist at the end but then
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: conceded two goals. Not ideal, but he's been brilliant too.
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: I think Muna's is for me a Greade third choice
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: as a defender. He's got a couple of clean sheets,
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: so I did expect a You know, it was not
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: the most exciting game, to be honest watching it. Yes,
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: Brentford were efficient, like you mentioned they always are with
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: their goals, but it was just, you know, I think
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: Pallas is still a decent defense even though they've lost Challoba.
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: I think they've They've been quite decent. Richards has come
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: in and done well. So Muna's with his goal threat,
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: with his assist threat, I think he's a fantastic pick.
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: I do worry about the midfielders. Now I have Sar
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: and he's got me one assist but not much else.
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: When I watch the games, I feel like Esa has
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: just taken over the chrans creation and Mateta has just
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: taken over the goal scoring. So it feels like Sara
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: is the third wheel where you know he's there. He
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: gets a couple of shots, and what he's also lost
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: is the fact that he was playing ninety minutes. Now
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: he's getting taken off for in Ktya. So I don't
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: like all those things. But from my perspective, I think
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: it's an easy move to a Bonnemouth midfielder. I may
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: not have the transfer this week because Bournemouth played Liverpool,
• 29:50
  Speaker 3: but next week when Boonnemouth played Lester, I'm there.
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: That's what I'll do.
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think so many are looking at Bonne with
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: midfielder in twenty five and Sara's a perfectly good sell.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: I think you're right about the ninety minutes he had
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: six on the bounce before the last two where he's
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: had a sixty seven and a seventy one, and it
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: does feel like if he keeps performing badly, he could
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: even be out the eleven. He's far from from guaranteed
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: a start. And then you look at Bournemouth midfielders and
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: there are three legit good options. I think we've got
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: to try and rank them praz I mean Cliver at
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: five point seven, so Menu at five point six, and
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: then Atara at five point zero playing up front and
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: again playing ninety minutes because of their injuries and making
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: the most of it, like twenty one points Atara had
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: against Forest. How do we rate these midfielders Because the
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: fixtures are there to buy. Maybe not this week, but
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: in game week twenty five it's actually Southampton they play,
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: so the entry point is perfect. So Southampton, then Wolves,
• 30:40
  Speaker 1: then Brighton, then Spurs, Brentford, Ipswich west Ham. The run continues.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: It is a brilliant run for Bournemouth from game week
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: twenty five. We're all going to want a Bournemouth mid
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: but which one.
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: It's a little bit of a I'm I'm going to
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: sit on the fence thread now and say I think
• 30:55
  Speaker 3: we should let them finish the transfer window because they
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: are in the market for a striker. It could be
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: a loan deal, could be anyone, or could be no one.
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: If it is no one, then I like Otara the most.
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: He's playing out of position. He's the cheapest. If they
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: sign someone and it's a striker, then I like Semineu
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: again because he was still getting the minutes. Because so
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: then Otara gets out of the team because Taviniir is
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: also coming back from an injury. So I feel like
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: if Otara loses his place, who does he come on for.
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: He comes on for cliver So then Otara's out of
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: the picture. Clivet's minutes are reduced, so it's back to Semineu.
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: If they sign somebody who's not going to be first choice,
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: who's going to rotate with Otara, then cliver It becomes
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: the best choice because clive It will still get eighteen
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: ninety minutes. He's on penalties, he's starting to become more
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: talismanic in the team. So I'm going to sit on
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: the fence and say, just wait to see who they sign.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: If they sign anybody, and then decide you're so right.
• 31:48
  Speaker 1: Too, and if they don't sign anyone then Cliver is
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: really high on my list of the three. And if
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: they do, he's he's down the pecking order because we
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: know from earlier in the season when everyone is fit
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: at Bournemouth, Cliver wasn't didn't start the season as absolutely
• 32:01
  Speaker 1: first choice, and when he was starting games, which was
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: more often than not, it was a lot of early subs.
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: But what I've seen from Clive in the last couple
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: of weeks, boy is just a player now with confidence,
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: playing with a real swagger. Like he had a goal
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: disallowed over the weekend but would have been goal of
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: the month. It was twinkle toes in the box neat
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: one to an amazing finish. He's playing with real consistency.
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: And Semeno, again we know from earlier in the season
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: he's the shot monster, he's the main man. He gets
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: ninety minutes. He's always a fun pick. Saw an interview
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: with Semeno recently. Re said, I've just been told by
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: my mates just to play like I was when I
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: was playing like cage football as a kid, and that's
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: what's changed the season. They were like, what's changed the season?
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: He said, Well, I'm playing like I am in the
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: cages and he really is just aggressive front foot, taking
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: players on, not afraid to dribble and use a trick.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: So so fun to watch Bournemouth and Sameno and then
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: Atara up front like yeah, you love him out of position.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: So Bournemouth are fun and five nil versus Forrest. No
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: one saw that coming.
• 32:57
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know, I'm actually a little bit gudged
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: that they're getting these great results against good teams because
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: they're shooting up to table because Iriola is the perfect
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: assistant manager because he does so well against big teams.
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: He's beaten Arsenal, he's beaten Man City's beaten Newcastle, he's
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: beaten Nottingham Forest. If he has only seventh or eighth
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: in the table, you just put your assistant manager chip
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: on him because you back him to beat pretty much
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: any team. Which also makes the game against Liverpool a
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: little bit exciting. But we already talked about that it's
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: going to be it's going to be a good game
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: and really looking forward to that as a neutral.
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I know that loads of fun and what
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: a coach Ariola clearly is. The job he's done at
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: Bournemouth has been fantastic, with spending has been relatively low
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: as well. Man City Chelsea needs touching on. It was
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: the return again of Cayle Palmer, his boyhood club. There
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: was another Palmer blank and I'm seeing a lot of
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: managers getting a bit twitchy on Cole Palmer because he's
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: had two two pointers. Now we shouldn't forget before that
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: he had two ten pointers and I'm surprised there's talk
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: of selling Palmer. Chelsea have some great fixtures around the
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: corner and I think he's still an unbelievable le fpl set.
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: We should mention he plays Southampton in twenty seven and
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: Leicester in twenty eight, both at Stamford Bridge. But what
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: do you make of anyone looking to maybe offload Cole
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: Palmer and use him as a cash cow to maybe
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: accommodate Harland or someone else.
• 34:15
  Speaker 2: No chance, you know my answer.
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: I mean, come on, Palmer is the talisman in a
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: team that pretty much has no other viable pick. I
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: mean you could say maybe Jackson, but it's a team
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: that is about to play Southampton and Leicester at home
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: in gambe twenty seven and twenty eight. I just don't
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: think you have to do anything with Palmer, you just
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: leave him in until he's fit and he'll get you
• 34:37
  Speaker 3: the points. I think after Salah, he's probably the best
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: pick in the game, and I don't think there's any
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: doubt about it.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and he loves a ten point, as I mentioned
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: he got two in twenty and twenty one. He also
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: got a ten pointer in game with eighteen. Like he's
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: been sensational this season and in goals. In games where
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: he scores a goal, he almost guarantees the three bonus
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: points because all his underlying numbers around creativity are so
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: so good, and we know with bonus points you're competing
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: with your team. As you mentioned, teammates at Chelsea in
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: terms of FPL picks and underlying numbers haven't been brilliant
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: this season, so Palmer is a standalone there. What did
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: you make of mar Mooch, Because I really enjoyed his performance,
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: even as a Chelsea fan. I just thought mar Mooch, like,
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: you're definitely now one to watch at seven million.
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: You know what's appealing about him. He can't play in Europe,
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: so you might from an FPL point of view looking
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: at that and saying, okay, interesting, I can actually predict
• 35:24
  Speaker 3: some minutes here. If he does continue to do what
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: he was doing now, I also worry as a skeptical
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: FPL manager that some of the things that he was
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: doing were a little bit more flamboyant, a little bit
• 35:36
  Speaker 3: more on the flare side. How much will Pep actually
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: try to manage that and say, look, you know, we
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: have a system, we have to play in a certain way.
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: I'm very curious to see how he sets up. It's
• 35:47
  Speaker 3: not a team you need to jump on right now,
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: not that many people are on a city anyway, because
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: they're a way to Arsenal. Then they play Newcastle, then
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: they play Liverpool, okay, then they play Spurs, which is nice.
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: Then they play Forest. So I think you want them
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: for the next five weeks until game week twenty eight,
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: and then that's the time when they play bright In
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: at home in game week twenty nine. You decide who
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: you want, whether that's forwarded, whether that's Harland, whether that's Mamosh.
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: Because you know other players will blank. Palmer could blank,
• 36:14
  Speaker 3: Salah could blank that week, Esach could blank. So money
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: could be available if you were looking to dead end
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: your team. Dead End basically means you're looking to just
• 36:22
  Speaker 3: get your team to this blank and then you wildcoud
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: a little bit after that. So I am excited, but
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: I'm also just on wait and watch Moore.
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Same with those fixtures. I think you have to
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: be the biggest thing for me was the fact he
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: started the game like Pep Guardiola eases in attacking players
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: to that team because it's such a unique style of
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: play for him to sign. And a couple of days
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: later off a couple of trading sessions be in the
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: eleven for a fixture against Chelsea just shows one how
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: much Pep Guardiola clearly wanted him and the assurances he
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: had given Marmous but two how desperate times were at
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: Man City. So yeah, really positive signs for his minutes
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: moving forward, but we need to see more. As you say,
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: shame that Man City aren't around a tenth in the
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: league because if they were again the assistant manager Chip
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: for those fixtures would be loads of fun to back
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: Pep for mid table. For the table bonus you wouldn't
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: think was possible, but it nearly was.
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: It nearly was.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: Should we touch on Harland and Foden Praz Like I
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: think for me with these fixtures, you're just happy watching
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: them and not owning them for a little bit.
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it feels like, especially with Forden, a misst train.
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: You know that the train has passed. I know you
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: had him for a couple of weeks, but I think
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: it was completely fine to sell at some point. There
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: were many midfield picks. We've talked about how midfield is crowded.
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: He is very expensive, the most expensive after you know,
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: compared to the others. When Saker's injured, de Brune is
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: not really an option, Son is less of an option,
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: so he does become like the third most expensive midfielder.
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: So I think it was fine not to go there.
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: But now you can see that the you know, Pep
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: has found a way to play a right back that
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: overlaps on the on the on the on the right
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: hand side and therefore house Ford him to come inside,
• 38:01
  Speaker 3: cut inside, and basically that's when you see the best
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: out of Fordham. So Pep, as usual as you'd expect,
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: has found a way to get ford And back into
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: the fold playing with de Bruyne armamuch, and I think
• 38:10
  Speaker 3: that's how it'll stick.
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: Good stuff. I'm glad you spoke about Poden. I'm trying
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: to avoid him. It still hurts me when I see
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: is fifteen, his nineteen and his seven and three back
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: to back game weeks of all of which I lost
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: out on by selling him. But I don't regret the decision.
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: To be fair, I hadn't seen enough from City or
• 38:25
  Speaker 1: Field Foden, But there we go. Let's talk about Magunited, Pras.
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: You must have watched that game that your team. It
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: felt like a Neil Neil board raw and actually I
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: look back and remember that Magunited did score late on
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: and it was a one Neil victory. I think it
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: was the lowest x G game in the Premier League
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: in a couple of years. But they ground grinding out
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: a win, clean sheet. You know United fair play.
• 38:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, look, it was not a great game
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: for the neutral It was not a great game for
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: the fans either. Nothing much happened so you didn't miss anything.
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: But from a man United perspective, it was a more
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: solid performance. So Bruno played in the central midfield role
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: because you know we Manunited needed to create play. The
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: team has struggled to create out of the back and
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: you know we had runners Gernacho and Ahmad playing in
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: the tens. I don't think that's a long term thing.
• 39:11
  Speaker 3: It's more a case of if it was an away
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: game against Fulham and so you know, Bruno should be
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: back in the ten in the next game, I think.
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: And it was a good efficient performance. I don't think
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: there's much else to say there.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you're right there. Shame for those Robinson
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: owners who are looking like they were going to get
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: a clean sheet late on and Robinson again had a
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: really good game. But I don't know if i'd be
• 39:32
  Speaker 1: selling him. The fixtures aren't great, but the attacking output
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: for Robinson is there, and I think he's honestly on
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: nine assists this season, like he's absolutely flying. You own
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: Robinson day.
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: I do not anymore, though, I've sold him for Mikolenko
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: because I just think, look, at some point you need
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: to think who do you want in your defense? So
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: Robinson is great, Hall is great, Muno's is great, Trent
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: is great, Gabrielle is great. You have to pick. Kircase
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: is great. So I just thought that I'm not going
• 39:55
  Speaker 3: to be playing Robinson much. He's now five point one million.
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: I just thought I can use that money somewhere else.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, fair play. We I always have to remember that like,
• 40:03
  Speaker 1: there's always more than five defenders you like, or three
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: forwards you like. It's just the game. You sometimes just
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: got to rank them and make those tough choices as
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: I made with Foden. Spurs were flat again. I think
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: there are a non event. But are they a team
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: we can targets? I mean, and Burmo entry point against
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: Spurs in twenty four is there for the taken, isn't it.
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we talked about that.
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: I think with the defensive injuries, look, and has been
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: very unlucky with injuries, like losing Slanky who's been such
• 40:28
  Speaker 3: a big presser for him and the team. Look, ri
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: Chaalison has done all right, but from a defensive point
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: of view, he's lost a lot, you know, pretty much
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: his whole black back line, his keeper, and so I
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: just think, yeah, it's going to be an open game.
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: It could be anything. It could be three two to
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: either team. But we don't care if you're picking an attacker.
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: I don't care if Brentford win or Spurs win. I
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: just want two goals in and Boom to be involved.
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: So I do think it's a good entry point for
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: Boomo and a Wissa or a Wissa I mean, whichever
• 40:55
  Speaker 3: one you like. So I just think, yeah, if you
• 40:58
  Speaker 3: get that Spurs fixture and the run that we've talked
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: about for Brentford the grid, if you have Spurs Pigs,
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: I think there's a there at cell as you know.
• 41:06
  Speaker 3: It was nice to have them for Leicester, but I
• 41:09
  Speaker 3: think that time has gone.
• 41:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and we spoke about Bournemouth midfielders earlier, all around
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: that sort of five five and a half million price point.
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: We haven't spoken about Aston Villa West Ham game. But
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: Morgan Rodgers is the popular fifth midfielder in the game
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: this season. He's often He's in a lot of teams.
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: I think his ownership's around twenty three percent. The fixtures
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: aren't brilliant, but the next two are good. It's Wolves
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: in Ipswich and then it's a little bit of a
• 41:32
  Speaker 1: tough run. Do we think Rogers might become a cell
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: soon for many? I mean, he's been so good this
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: season and we have to manage our expectations with such
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: an enabler. But he's on seven yellow cards. Villa don't
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: score that many seventy one minutes against west Ham sho
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: we sometimes season early sub although he has played a
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: lot of nineteen minutes. But it's more just the case
• 41:50
  Speaker 1: of other five million four midfielders put in their hand
• 41:53
  Speaker 1: up those Bournemouth lads in particular. Do we think Rogers
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: will be a long term hold or are we happy offloading?
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: I think a very happy to offload him. So there's
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: a couple of factors here. Fact to number one is
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: obviously watch how they get on in the Champions League.
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: If they don't make the top eight, then they all
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: have playoff games as well. If they have playoff games,
• 42:11
  Speaker 3: those will basically sandwich the ipswitch game. So you know
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: that could mean reduce minutes for Watkins even Rogers, because
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: that's important, the playoff games, and so you know where
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: do you expect rotation bape switch. So that's something to
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: think about. And then basically long term fixtures after ipswitch
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: are not great. So I can see a lot of
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: people basically selling Rogers even before ipswitch if we are
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: not in the top eight of the Champions League group
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: and just saying, look, you know Bonemouth entry point is great,
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: they're playing Southampton, just go there. But I do agree
• 42:41
  Speaker 3: with you, people are impatient with these picks. We've talked
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: about Jean Pedro've talked about Rogers. These are five and
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: a half million picks that are priced for there for
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: a reason. If you get one return in three you
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: should be happy. If they form part of a rotation
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: where you can play them in the easier games bench
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: them in the other games, absolutely fine. So that's just
• 42:58
  Speaker 3: the way it is that people need to sort of
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: be a lot more patient with these Brice bckets.
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you're right there. And west Ham under
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: Potter a just one to monitor for me. Like we
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: spoke about managers going into a club with similar philosophies
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: off the previous manager, and we definitely got that with
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: Everton and Dyschen and Moys are probably quite similar. Lopotage
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: and Potter are not similar at all. And I think
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: we're seeing a west Ham team in transition. It's going
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: to take them a well, it's going to take them
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: a lot of training sessions because Potter's going to need time,
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: and maybe towards the end of the season we start
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: see huge improvements from west Ham, and I think we
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: probably do at some point. And there's always fpl interest
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: at west Ham because players like Jared Bowen when he's
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: fit going to really be popular. But for now, I
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: think we just wait and see with them.
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: We do.
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: We will wait and see, and this is why I
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: think it's important to be patient if you can with
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: your transfers. It is the big one. Up next, it's
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: the Double Game Week twenty four. But before that, like
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: we've mentioned, there is another week of European action. City, Liverpool,
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: Arsenal Villa all play their Champions League games. Everyone's playing
• 43:59
  Speaker 3: on Aday. It's going to be an exciting Wednesday night
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: when everyone plays at the same time. Then you have
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: on Thursday the Europa League games and the Conference League
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: games all happening at the same time, so that's going
• 44:09
  Speaker 3: to be exciting as well. So do wait for that
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: new information may merge. But it is the big one,
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: the Double Game week twenty four.
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and that Thursday POD is going to be awesome.
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: Make sure you don't miss it. With Jules, Kelly and
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: Sam because going into that double game, I'll be talking
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: about their chip strategies and what chip should be played,
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: and triple captaincy will be high on the agenda, as
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: will that system manager ship.
• 44:30
  Speaker 2: Yes, looking forward to that.
• 44:31
