10 Waiver Wire Picks to End the Season I Ep: 133 · Draft Offsides Podcast

0:00
Hello and welcome to episode 133 of Dropped Off Sides and with
0:04
Enzo. My name is Keith.
0:05
It's just another duopod and hopefully won't be interrupted
0:08
by Tico this time. We can just really flow without
0:11
without the menace of Tico. I think he's going to pop in.
0:14
He's in messaging this whole time.
0:15
What? I don't know why he couldn't do
0:17
this today. Is he at work?
0:19
He's at work events or something.
0:20
Right. Is he?
0:21
I thought he was saying he's in DC for something.
0:23
I didn't think it was. It was it not related to work?
0:27
I don't know what's weird. Who cares?
0:28
Don't give a shit. That does not matter, OK.
0:31
It doesn't. So it was a, it was a pretty
0:35
eventful week of Premier League football.
0:38
I think says, I mean, before we get into waivers and all that
0:40
good stuff, just the big things. Congratulations, another Spurs
0:43
win. That's two on the balance.
0:45
First time since August beginning of the season.
0:48
So deserving. 3 games are drawn, two wins.
0:51
That's really darn good. Pretty good considering.
0:54
What was going on? I thought it was four games.
0:56
What did you lose? The first one.
0:57
Yeah, he lost the first one. OK.
1:00
Last draw Who did he? Lose to?
1:02
Was it like Arsenal or something?
1:05
No, but he I'm pretty sure he's four games but still two wins
1:09
out a four and a draw. For a relegation threatened
1:12
team. Yeah, we're good.
1:13
We're good. Oh yeah, So you feeling good?
1:16
Are you feeling much better about saying that No, not the
1:19
Tottenham there, that sorry, the Tottenham win, the West Ham
1:22
loss. I'm wearing my West Ham jersey
1:24
just out of solidarity. Yeah, I appreciate it.
1:26
Yeah, everyone's, everyone did. I'm going to take one now.
1:29
All the fans of other teams are so mad at other people right
1:32
now. The Mads.
1:34
I mean, it's just. Stupid.
1:35
It's like, it's like they, the cannibals are eating themselves
1:39
a little bit. They ran out of they ran out of
1:42
food. So now they're eating each
1:43
other. The kind of what what the
1:44
Internet feels like right now, I feel like.
1:46
It's ridiculous, but I I don't feel confident yet.
1:51
It's one win. We've got difficult, we've got
1:54
leads next. So if we win there and say West
1:56
Ham loses again, I feel a little bit and.
1:59
That plays Arsenal. I mean, you know, knock on wood,
2:02
it's very possible they lose. But.
2:05
They should, but if it goes by anything this weekend, some
2:07
crazy stuff happened this weekend.
2:09
Yeah, very much so. Not least of which Chelsea just
2:12
got absolutely wrecked for six. That's the This is the longest
2:16
losing streak in their history. Yeah, I watched the game.
2:20
I couldn't I couldn't understand how when I saw the lineup with
2:23
Forest lineup was like, that makes sense.
2:26
Yeah, it. Makes sense.
2:27
They they're the wrestling players.
2:29
They sell the players in. But Chelsea just like flat from
2:31
the RIP, like that early goal. And then I mean, then and their
2:34
defense, they hit the post and then there's just like a little
2:36
fluky thing like that penalty is kind of a bonehead decision.
2:39
Yeah. And they're gone for it.
2:40
But it is they seem to be better.
2:41
I mean, it's just there's no question Cole Palmer doesn't
2:43
look good. I mean, I'm really curious to
2:45
see where he's going to go in drafts.
2:49
It's like next year. Like I think one of the episodes
2:50
we're going to do after the season ends is do a like way too
2:53
early top 30, just like, and we'll do a consensus ranking for
2:58
us. And I feel like I'd be really
3:01
curious to see where we all place him because it's like, you
3:03
know, it's, it's now it's been what, a year and a half pretty
3:05
much that he's. Been.
3:07
He's been pretty bad so is he still going to get drafted like
3:10
he's a first round pick? I.
3:12
Don't think so. I think it's going to be it's
3:13
going to be hard. It's going to be late.
3:15
Thing like that it's going to be late first round of everything
3:17
that's going to be in 12 man leads but he's going to be like
3:19
the same ones that you go with Morgan gives white game you
3:22
just. Don't feel good.
3:22
You're not feeling good about it like you did, but the upsides
3:24
there because you've seen it before, but you just don't feel
3:26
good about it. Yeah.
3:27
But a year and a year and a half is a trend.
3:29
He has to break that trend. I think, I mean honestly, I
3:31
think the best thing that can happen to him is he doesn't get
3:33
called into the World Cup squad. I don't think he is.
3:36
He's got. Just let him rest.
3:38
I mean, I, I think I told you to stop, but like he's had, he has
3:41
not a summer off in I think 43 or 4 summers between the U18
3:47
something like and then. The and.
3:49
The Club World Cup and now if he goes to this, it'll be I think
3:52
it's 4 summers in a row. So yeah, he needs just some time
3:54
to get his mind and body right, Yeah.
3:56
And to see if he can recapture that for him because like, he
3:58
just hasn't even looked like the same guy.
4:00
No. Keeps losing the ball, man.
4:01
You know what it is? He just loses the ball.
4:03
Yeah, in the worst places. It was these little things he
4:06
used to do where he'd like nutmeg a guy and run around him
4:08
or just those little misdirections that were so good
4:10
and so amazing to watch. And now they just they don't
4:12
come off like they did they did a year ago.
4:15
So. Yeah.
4:16
OK. But so that that's a big thing.
4:18
We'll see. I mean, Chelsea is very
4:19
interesting in the sense of like kind of watching a ship sink.
4:23
You know, it's like, it's like watching let's like.
4:25
Watching that car like a really slow.
4:26
Motion car accident and just like you can't help but look
4:29
away. Title race really heated up this
4:32
weekend too. Are still got a big win.
4:35
Comfortable win. I watched the.
4:36
Game win. Pretty annoying to watch.
4:37
They actually played pretty well.
4:39
They played great. I thought they looked really
4:41
good. There's they felt like like like
4:46
Arteta managed to somehow like, like he hypnotized them all and
4:50
be like, you can actually relax now or something.
4:52
Yeah, it was like, and I think Declan W played really well that
4:55
game held it up. I think soccer was amazing in
4:58
that first half. That like suck of old.
5:01
Yeah, really, even Kyoka is like you only miss a.
5:03
Couple, you got to give him his flowers.
5:06
Yeah, I'll give him his flowers. Well, yeah, 2 like two goals and
5:08
assists. Two goals and they were they.
5:09
Were like classic little Portugal, like just being the
5:12
right place. And that assist is that assist
5:13
was great just for what he did for holding up the ball.
5:16
I mean, and that's another one that'll be interesting like him
5:20
having a strong end of the season will probably put him
5:22
pretty high up on waiver on drop boards as well.
5:25
But. I I think his his finish to the
5:27
season is actually justifying how highly how high he went
5:30
inside. Kyle Comedy was yeah, yeah,
5:32
totally. And then, of course, today we
5:35
watched the game. Man City, very dramatic.
5:38
Went up 10, then went down 31 and then came back, tied it up
5:42
in the dying minutes. Jeremy Dokey with two goals and
5:45
a beast of a performance this week.
5:49
Holland got his goal and he needed one so.
5:51
Neither 1 he did, but it's just like don't get wrong Evan.
5:55
You know what Evan did Evan freaking got damn though, you're
5:58
not going like they will pull in, they'll tug in they got back
6:01
in it go away. He needs someone check his bank
6:04
account because just giving that ball away was.
6:06
Ridiculous. Sorry, Dodge and somebody's
6:09
played plenty of defense and made that a less identical pass
6:12
before that's there's no worse feeling in the.
6:14
World no. Just that the season he's had,
6:18
that could be the one thing you remember.
6:21
From the season, like the Gerard slip or something.
6:23
Like the Gerard slip? Yeah.
6:25
OK, the last thing I want to talk about is so we were we were
6:30
all watching the Man United game and we're texting in a group
6:32
chat and that that Kobe made you late goal, which was amazing.
6:35
Like Congrats to that or what? It was amazing goal.
6:38
And then I, I sent, I texted and there's two guys in our, in our
6:41
chat, in our group chat. And I said like, man, every
6:43
single decision that Amrim has made is proved, proved wrong.
6:47
And it's like it's only becoming more and more clear that every
6:48
single decision he made is proved wrong.
6:50
And I was shocked at the at the response from the United United.
6:55
Fans. They were just being like, well,
6:57
no, well, actually Andrew was a really good manager, just wasn't
7:01
a good coach. And like he actually built a
7:03
great foundation for the club, blah, blah.
7:05
And I thought that was wild. And I think we're on the same,
7:08
we're on the same page there, right?
7:09
Yeah, They were trying. They were just trying to talk
7:11
about how like, oh, like he brought in, he brought in tried
7:13
and true tested players. He he what else did this?
7:16
I couldn't even remember all the things they were saying.
7:18
They this is it. I don't think he had.
7:20
They were saying that they'd he had he had gotten rid of the
7:23
right players. He didn't get rid of any
7:24
players. Yeah, let me guys have thought
7:28
they go, I think. It's it's it's like he maybe was
7:30
like a voice in the room on the decisions that they were, they
7:33
were giving him all the credit for.
7:34
And then they were ignoring all the things that were solely his
7:36
decision, like the lineups and the benching of Kobe menu and
7:39
the playing Bruno Fernandez for their back.
7:42
And like all those things that were so obvious like that, like
7:46
like idiots, like us, like words.
7:47
It was just so obvious. And like, those are the things
7:50
that were solely his decision. But they were like the United
7:53
fans were trying to like, whitewash it and like rewrite
7:56
history and be like, oh, but like all these other things were
7:58
good decisions and all those things were not so his decision
8:01
and, like, very Gray. If he was even like, how
8:03
involved it wasn't them. No, it's very black and white.
8:05
He was terrible, the team was doing terrible while he was
8:08
there. As soon as he left and carried
8:10
to Gova, he changed the culture and now look at him.
8:15
I don't even know if guys, it's hard to tell how good of a
8:17
manager character was because honestly, the things that he
8:20
changed just were the most obvious things, you know, And
8:24
it's like it's so rare that like as fans, you can be like, this
8:27
is so stupid. How do you not see how to do
8:29
these things? And then the next I come in, it
8:31
does exactly what you're asking for and then it's works so well.
8:34
Like that is a very rare, like a rare setup, you know, like
8:37
everyone thinks they know what's best and it's very rare that
8:39
like there's a consensus that this one guy's wrong and then it
8:42
proves that they'd be pretty true like that.
8:44
It's. Pretty honest.
8:44
It was pretty obvious. Just change the formation.
8:46
The formation wasn't. Working.
8:47
Yeah, exactly. That was change the formation,
8:49
bring in some new personnel that you have.
8:52
And they look good, man. Look.
8:53
They're inside a place. They look.
8:54
Exciting. They're yeah.
8:56
They're very scary. Next season, we'll see what?
8:58
Especially a few little upgrades here and there.
9:00
But I mean, they want Castamiro, who'd scored what, a goal?
9:03
A goal. They score like 99 goals.
9:05
Castamiro. Is currently second in the in
9:08
the heat chart right now, the heat index, he's he has an epic
9:13
consistency score. He's just doing unreal, him and
9:17
Bruno. The top two players in the Heat
9:19
chat chart right now are Bruno and Customero.
9:21
I'm surprised, I'm surprised. There should be some.
9:23
I haven't checked, but I'm pretty sure should be some
9:24
warmer players in there too. They've been on.
9:27
Fire Trafford, Adrian True Fritz out there.
9:30
Yeah, definitely okay. Should we get no waivers?
9:35
It's the our favorite part. Our favorite part and probably
9:38
the part where most people are here, So a lot of gay.
9:41
I feel like there was a lot this week because a lot of people
9:43
popped off that weren't the norm, but there is.
9:45
It's funny because a lot of the names I think we've been talking
9:48
about. So that that was kind of
9:49
reassuring. You know, there wasn't anyone
9:50
that came out of nowhere. We broke it up and we I like
9:53
what Enzo did. So I did it always and he he
9:56
color-coded them as far as like, so in his mind they're like
9:58
green, red and orange. So it's like which are, you
10:01
know, obvious like. By risk, Risk.
10:04
And yeah, and exactly no, no risk.
10:06
So the first one on here, you have it as a Green, it's William
10:09
Masula from Newcastle for 39% owned.
10:12
He has four goals in his last six games, double digits in the
10:14
games that he scored, started the last four games has the most
10:18
favorable fixtures and I could see him scoring at least two of
10:21
those games. New Newcastle can play a big
10:22
part in the relegation battle too, or put themselves in
10:26
relegation. I think that's a bit of a
10:27
stretch, but it's it's a possibility.
10:29
It's a possibility. They play Forest away, West End
10:32
at home, Fulham away. Azula's pretty much now pretty,
10:35
I'm sure he must be pretty locked.
10:37
I think he's long. Second, yeah, he.
10:39
Goes and he's. Fine.
10:40
Like he, the way he runs the channels and like he has a
10:42
little bit of a little motion to him, you know, he's got a
10:45
little, little shifty shoulders. He's moving, man.
10:49
Yeah, his ball, he's moving off the ball is really good.
10:52
Don't be wrong, that header was the easiest one you're going to
10:55
get this game, but we've seen him score at the six yard box, I
10:59
think 3 out four of those goals. Yeah, and he's still going to be
11:01
there. Like he still he still to lose
11:03
his defender and get to that ball.
11:04
But yeah, that that Murphy cross was unbelievable.
11:06
Just what amount of effort that that he puts in.
11:09
So I like to sue a lot. That's a green one for sure.
11:12
Yep. I think he'll be snapped up
11:14
everywhere. I had him in both of our
11:15
leagues. Played on both our leagues, felt
11:18
good didn't didn't help me from SO lost both our leagues but
11:22
probably. You were playing the top guy in
11:23
both leads. Yeah, and they both went off on
11:26
me so unlucky. Next on here, Jaden Bogle leads
11:30
defender 39% owned. He's been on here a little bit
11:34
too. I think both these guys have
11:35
been on in the past but just having after having like pop off
11:37
games, it's good to re add sis in the last game.
11:40
Has scored well in the games that he started and finished.
11:44
The only bad score he's had was in a game where there was a
11:46
double game week. So it didn't even really, it
11:48
doesn't even reflect that bad on his scores total.
11:50
You know, clean sheets play about a part.
11:52
But also what I really like about Bogle is against like
11:55
teams that they're at the same level with, you know, he gets
11:58
really high up the field. So like I'm actually a little
12:01
bit worried about todding away the way that they played last
12:03
week and how much pressure they put on the outside.
12:05
But like against Brighton, against West Ham, I think those
12:07
are games where he could probably get find some joy for
12:10
Jayden Bogle. So I like that one a lot.
12:13
And that's also green, according to Enzo.
12:16
Yeah. Next we have Kobe Mania United
12:20
mid 42% owned 2 double digit games in a row.
12:23
So you have to pay attention right Yeah, when a player does
12:25
that played really aggressively in the final third.
12:28
I think part of it was that they were chasing a little bit, you
12:31
know, but he scored a goal at the end.
12:33
Risky business, but genius if you added in this week which
12:36
some guy which one of the guys that I really did.
12:38
Still beat him. His games are Sunderland away
12:42
for us at home, Brighton away. That's pretty favorable,
12:44
favorable matchups. I feel like he's a good one in
12:48
if you're if there's if it's really scarce, you know, like
12:51
maybe yeah, maybe not your first one.
12:53
You have him as a rat, so you think he's kind of lower on the
12:55
totem pole. I think he's on a tow box.
12:57
If you look at his scores beforehand, don't get on.
12:59
He's a role player. We know.
13:00
I love Kobe man, who as a player, I think he plays his
13:03
role nicely, wins the ball. He's probably going to.
13:05
He's probably going to the World Cup now too.
13:07
We don't know. We'll see.
13:09
We'll see. But I'd like to see him at the
13:11
World Cup. He's full of energy, gives you
13:12
something different than midfield.
13:14
But he he doesn't stack the scoresheet like he'll get you 4
13:17
1/2, five and a half. But these double digit games I
13:20
think might just be a, you know, power patch.
13:24
Yeah, fair enough. Another red on here and I kind
13:27
of disagree on this one on the color on this one key Lewis
13:30
Potter Brentford mid 44% owned in good form of the last six
13:33
games averaging 8.75 points rough through game run coming up
13:37
City away, Palace at home, Liverpool way.
13:39
So you think, is it the run that's the?
13:40
Reason to run? Yeah, it's to run for me.
13:43
Yeah, but I think he's like really come into his own at the
13:46
the last part of the season. He's like noticeably, I feel
13:49
like it's like we're they're looking really, really good.
13:51
He got the assist last week too. So I don't know.
13:55
I like him. OK.
13:57
But. It's just the running.
13:59
It's the running. So it's City who now they
14:01
definitely have to win every game, so they're just going to
14:03
pile it on Palace, which is, you know, I think around their same
14:07
level. But I think defensively they're
14:09
pretty sound. And then Liverpool, you just
14:11
don't know where you're going to go at Liverpool.
14:13
My take is that I think the city, you're right, Like that,
14:16
that's a terrible game for him, especially as like he plays like
14:18
essentially as a left back, you know what I mean?
14:20
Yeah, but Palace is going to probably be into the finals of
14:25
the the Conference League. That's true.
14:28
Liverpool is going to probably be locked in to Champions League
14:33
and kind of the beach. Last game of the season.
14:36
Yeah, most Mostsala maybe gets in for 10 minutes to get
14:39
clapped. I could see them playing some
14:41
kids. So I'm just saying it's like
14:43
it's like if you know, it's maybe not the pick up for this
14:46
week just because of the CD game.
14:47
Most you have a room, but I think there's an argument for
14:49
him in the last two weeks of the season and maybe it's someone
14:52
that you could grab now. Next one AO Tanaka leads mid 16%
14:57
owned 13 this game. What's impressive is stash was
15:01
back and Tanaka was still able to put out a good fantasy
15:03
showing Tanaka. Actually, it looks like Aaronson
15:06
was not in the starting lineup. It's not gonna take his place.
15:09
Yeah, I mean, Tanaka's really nice on the eyes.
15:12
He is and he and he he likes to put a ball in the box.
15:16
But when stack came back, the first thing I thought was, oh,
15:18
Arizona going to go from stack. But he was able to get onto the
15:21
ball and actually create whip stacks.
15:23
I think they've got something going on right there.
15:25
I put him as a orange like so risky because like you said,
15:30
Aaronson came off the bench right and Arison usually
15:34
started. I don't know if that was just
15:36
the rest Aronson or is that going to be a rotation so.
15:39
Yeah, it's very valid what the the teams that play Tottenham
15:43
away, Brighton home, West Ham away.
15:45
So again, like, I don't love, I don't love Tottenham right now.
15:49
I think I was really impressed with Tottenham the way they
15:51
played. Yeah.
15:52
And so like it's not my favorite thing, but Brighton potential
15:56
West Ham away. I mean, that's there's
15:58
interesting. Interesting.
16:00
The last game of the season, that could be a really
16:01
interesting game. Yeah, we're talking about a lead
16:04
scene that either will be up against it or might will be
16:06
checked out by then, too. So yeah, we'll see.
16:09
But yeah, I've liked AO. It's not kind of the latter part
16:12
of the season. We'll see kind of what he
16:14
becomes in the future. Yeah, but I'm intrigued.
16:18
Another name on here. It's a green then Batman,
16:20
Newcastle, 41% owned. It's no brainer.
16:23
We've been, we've been spanging on about this for two weeks now
16:25
and people are so slow to pick him up.
16:27
Yet another good game this week, I believe.
16:29
Yeah, Yep, it's a must have available.
16:33
No call involvements. One clean sheet by six games,
16:35
but it's averaged 11.79 points a game.
16:37
That's that's, that's golden. That's like the type of defender
16:41
that like these are the type of guys that I really like to
16:44
target in like for next year for drafts where it's like, oh, like
16:47
the end of the season they were kind of dominating.
16:49
But like if you looked at their whole number, like their stats
16:51
over the whole season, it probably would reflect that as
16:53
much. You can really tell that they
16:55
were just like doing so well. And he has a pedigree of doing
16:57
well in the past. Yep.
16:59
For them, it's forced away West Ham and home full of away.
17:01
What do you think? I think there's all good games
17:04
for Newcastle. Like I said, love it.
17:07
They're going to take, they're going to play a big part in the
17:08
relegation battle right now with Forest and West Ham in there.
17:12
West Ham didn't look bad. They hit, they hit the worldwide
17:15
3 times in that game. Forest again, if they stay in
17:19
Europe again, they might be resting players.
17:23
So we just don't know how that's going to go and I think it's
17:25
green all the way. Spend the defence in Newcast
17:27
been really good. So you have you have two green
17:30
defenders, you have Bogle and Batman.
17:32
Who would you take if you were, if you were kind of looking at
17:36
waivers, needed a Fender, which of those two would you, would
17:38
you wonder? I think so.
17:39
Pretty obviously, right. Yeah.
17:41
Yeah. Just just that, just that
17:42
consistency of points. Yeah.
17:44
And just the fact he's done it time and time again over the
17:46
years. Yeah.
17:48
The other name on here, Matthias Jensen Bradford.
17:50
Big fan of his mid 50% owned one goal in the last four games.
17:54
This is a risky I due to the next three opponents, which
17:56
we've talked about with Brentford, but they have shown
17:58
they can score while fantasy wise.
18:00
And I think Brent, I think Jensen does a little bit of both
18:03
sides. He's not just like he's not just
18:05
dependent on key passes and also target.
18:07
He's kind of those mids that does it on on both ways.
18:10
So I think he, there's a, there's a, there's a floor
18:12
there. It's kind of nice with him.
18:14
Oh. Yeah, and that's you'll see that
18:15
we've with power, I put in red and I put him green.
18:18
They both play for the same team, but they're two players
18:21
that do two different things to get points in different.
18:22
Ways very much so so that's why I really like I really like the
18:26
Jensen's shout yeah another name on here a couple of couple
18:31
oranges Matthias Monet Wolves for 32% own started and played
18:35
the full 90. The last two games were 10.75
18:37
and 12, no goal contributions, all Ghosts.
18:43
That's interesting. And it's also, it's a it's
18:45
that's not everyone that you can probably get.
18:48
Like, I don't think there's a lot of people are going to be
18:49
targeting because people are just completely written off
18:51
Wolves. Yeah, they've written off wolves
18:53
and he's, he's working hard up front for wolves, right?
18:56
Now, yeah, he's probably thinking that what's where am I
18:59
going next? They're all trying to get a move
19:01
to Coventry. Or somewhere, yeah.
19:04
So they are Brighton away, Fulham and home, Burnley away.
19:07
So. Ain't that bad, ain't that bad,
19:10
but it's wolves. Yeah, I mean, it doesn't feel
19:13
good. It feels a little icky, right?
19:14
Yeah. So that's an orange.
19:16
So why is it an orange? Just because it's wolves.
19:18
Because it's wolves. Because it's Wolves.
19:20
That's fair. Next thing I'm on here at Luke
19:23
Shaw. United defense 55% own scores
19:25
well over the last four games, averaging just under 10 points.
19:28
There's some clean sheets up for grabs against Sunderland away,
19:31
Forest at home, Brighton away. And this is after I talk shit
19:36
about him to one of our main eye fans in the other room because
19:39
he put Shore up there. I can't remember it was, but he
19:42
put him on a high tone. I was like he has hardly played
19:44
this excitement. He watched so many main eye
19:45
games and if I have, I haven't even know Shore's been playing.
19:48
Yeah, the guy clapped back and he played every game under.
19:51
And I looked it up and he's played every game and he's
19:53
actually played pretty well. Yeah, yeah.
19:57
Luke Shaw, do you want to know? I'm curious to see.
19:59
I'm going to look him up on the Heat tracker right now and just
20:01
Oh yeah, where he's where he's plays it.
20:03
So he's fiction and overall it's considered volatile because
20:07
games week 3132 out of five, five and a six, but his last
20:11
three event 13 and 7511. So yeah, he's not, he's not bad.
20:16
And I think like he's trending in the right direction.
20:18
And I think what he said it already May and I just locked in
20:21
Champions League after this week.
20:23
So they're going to continue strong.
20:25
But I think maybe you know, a little bit of place for
20:29
complacency. Fully.
20:31
Yeah. OK, next on here another orange
20:34
Matteus Tal, Spurs forward, 48% owned, first start under Deserby
20:39
gets the assists played 88 minutes and they can continue
20:43
this form. They can be an integral part of
20:44
the team and the attack. I I might think that Tal is a
20:49
green. You like green?
20:51
You. I like Tal.
20:52
I just think he has a really good baseline, you know, and
20:55
like he's he's proven that he can do the the the dribbles and
20:58
get points that way. He got an assist this game.
21:01
I like Tal. I think he could have done a lot
21:03
more. I think when you watch him play,
21:06
if he didn't get that assist, it wouldn't have been that good of
21:08
a game for him. True.
21:09
I mean, 12.25 with an assist is not great.
21:11
Yeah, it's not. Very true, I think that he could
21:15
get more balls in the box if he stopped trying to do as major as
21:18
he does and he took a bunch of shots where he should have done
21:21
a pass instead. I noticed that a few times too,
21:23
like very frustratingly. And The thing is, he's, he's,
21:27
he's nearly there. Yes, he's he's trying to be the
21:31
main guy where he could be a main guy in a different way.
21:34
Yeah, I think he's someone that I really think that he'll get
21:37
better as he gets older, like as he matures, you know, if he can
21:40
keep his, if he can stay in shape and he's in a good
21:42
situation too, because I think that's obviously a big part of
21:45
it. I could see deserving really
21:47
being a good coach for him because if he's still still
21:50
young and deserving with wingers, he does a good job.
21:52
So yeah, I like this one and I think he can improve even in
21:55
these next few games that it's leads at home, Chelsea away,
21:57
Everton at home. Yeah, so man, that that leads at
22:00
home game. When is what?
22:02
When is that game? Monday.
22:06
It's on Monday. It's a Monday, guy.
22:08
Should I like take a block of time off so you can watch?
22:11
I would like come and watch that video did.
22:13
You watch that game, I'd be going nuts.
22:15
Yeah, All right. All right.
22:19
We don't take a block off, but it's kind of hard.
22:21
OK, we'll see. We'll talk about it.
22:22
I really want to. Yeah, I really want to.
22:23
Be a crazy game, man. Yeah.
22:27
All right, next one green on here Conor Gallagher mid 46% own
22:31
13 points this week has found himself in good favor and
22:34
deserving averaging just under 10 points a game taught him to
22:37
look completely different team and Conor Gallagher looks to be
22:39
leading the team yes definitely as like an energetic leader
22:44
yeah, he's also playing the ten yeah, which is he's playing the
22:47
10 in a three man midfield, which actually thing is the the
22:50
role that he's suited for, you know.
22:51
Like he's not. Yeah, exactly.
22:53
He's not the most creative attacking player, but he he can
22:56
do the defensive work too. He has the energy and the zip to
22:59
like run around. If you have, you can get
23:02
creativity in other places and he can be that kind of Indian in
23:05
the middle. I think it could work really
23:06
well, you know? And he started every game on the
23:09
Deserby. Deserby found him was like, you
23:11
know what, you're my guy. Every other match.
23:14
That's the only going to feel your confidence and could see.
23:16
I mean, the way he was, he was sliding to every single tackle
23:19
so hard, like just going for every single loose ball.
23:23
I mean, it's I've always really liked Connor Gaga.
23:25
Obviously he's a former Chelsea player, but I've just liked him
23:27
because of his. He's like a little child, you
23:29
know? Yeah, we're kind of love to see
23:31
it. Yeah.
23:34
So super happy for him. Leads.
23:37
So it's leads at home, Chelsea away, Everton at home.
23:40
Yeah, I like this one a lot. I think green is definitely the
23:42
right color here. Any other any other points to
23:46
make? I mean, that goal is amazing.
23:48
The goal is amazing, don't get wrong.
23:50
It was a good score with the goal, but he stuck with this new
23:53
deserver. Learn and play that 10.
23:55
He's winning tackles, he's intercepting passes.
23:57
That's where he's getting most of his points from.
24:00
He's not really getting key passes because he's more about
24:02
moving the ball to the wide wings, but he's winning balls in
24:04
the middle. Yeah, and that's what you're
24:05
looking for. Yeah, he can pop up with the
24:07
goal now and again, to which we saw.
24:10
We've seen him do for Palace that see if he can do it again.
24:12
Totally, Yeah, I like it. I like that one a lot.
24:14
OK, the last one I hear Jack Hinselwood mid 26% owned two
24:18
goals a lot. 2 games beside the Spurs game where they scored
24:21
zero. They have averaged over 10
24:23
points a game. Next two games are favorable
24:26
Wolves at home leads away in the United home.
24:29
So my my rub with Hinselwood and we talked about this, I think
24:32
he's been away with a few times is he scores goals and he still
24:36
manages to only get like 10 points.
24:38
Yeah, yeah. So like he had a 14.
24:42
I mean, he's at this game with goals.
24:43
He had a 14, but that's like, so he's scoring what?
24:45
That's like a goals like a 10 points, right?
24:48
Nine. It's 11 points, isn't it?
24:50
It's like 9 for the golden, 9 for this.
24:52
Two official shot. Shot on target, so we're talking
24:55
375. That doesn't that one action
24:57
doesn't happen. It makes me a little nervous
24:59
even though he's been on such a good run.
25:00
So it's hard to hard to really be like.
25:03
And that's the reason why he's green, because he's been on a
25:05
run. Yeah, that's it.
25:07
But yeah, yeah, fair enough. Just yeah.
25:11
I just think that he would. There's guys I would rather have
25:15
Conor Gallagher. Between Conor Gallagher and her
25:17
him, I'm not sure. I'd maybe go Gallagher just for
25:19
them, man. But hence what they play lead,
25:21
they play Wolves leads United. If that's a really.
25:25
That's a toss up. If Jensen's available, I want
25:28
Jensen. Even with even with a tough
25:30
schedule, Yeah, I think three of those three are very, very much
25:34
toss up, which if the if you had the three, you would rank Jansen
25:38
who? Jansen, Gallagher, Henson.
25:41
Henson what? How would you rank it?
25:45
I might do the same, but I was like a coward a little bit like
25:48
I'd want, I want to rank, I want to go Gallagher, Jansen, Henson,
25:53
but I just, I think I'd be too afraid to to pick Gallagher over
25:57
what Jansen said. I'm just worried about the
25:58
future like I was. I'm basing it on like past
26:01
performance where I worry that like with City, yeah, I think, I
26:05
think those games can be trickier than what what Connor
26:07
has to do, which is go to Leeds, then go to a terrible Chelsea
26:11
team, you know. So the last time on here, while
26:15
we used to play today, scored two goals.
26:18
And assist. And an assist?
26:20
Did he really had two goals and assist?
26:22
Did he get the assist on that last one?
26:24
I don't think so. I think he just had two goals.
26:25
Okay. But great game and yeah, I mean,
26:29
remember it, was it 2 years ago? We had like a monster season.
26:32
Yeah, when he was, I think he was like 3 years ago.
26:35
Yeah, he did. He had a.
26:36
Monster, his kids will love it. And so I like at first, like I
26:39
was like, oh, I don't think there's anyone from the game
26:41
today that really is waiver worthy.
26:43
And Tika threw out and I was like, well, is he really going
26:46
to start again? You know, like with then I
26:49
started thinking, what's like, well, if they win this week, is
26:53
it this week that the games are? Yeah, yeah.
26:55
So they win this week. Like what's stopping him from
26:58
starting again, you know? Probably would have to.
27:01
You think so? Yeah.
27:02
They'd have to because they want to rest wood or eagle.
27:06
Yeah, so that's what I kind of mean.
27:08
I just feel like a performance like that and everything and
27:11
like, give your other guys some rest.
27:12
It makes sense, you know. Yeah, it's it definitely makes
27:15
sense. The one is I don't know how much
27:17
he's because I saw we added in, but I don't know how much is he
27:20
owned. I don't.
27:21
Think it's that much right now. It's not that much.
27:23
And that's. Yeah.
27:24
Score beyond the 50. Oh, it's like 4% or something
27:27
like that. Yeah.
27:28
Oh, is it? Yeah, yeah.
27:28
Wow. That's a really nice that's
27:31
it's. I don't even think it's that
27:32
risky. Yeah, it's that risky.
27:35
He did have an assessor, two goals and assists.
27:36
Crazy 30.5 points. Yeah, man, we're not.
27:41
I just I think that the issue that I would give that an
27:43
orange, maybe a red orange. Maybe because it all depends on
27:47
the result this weekend the. Result this weekend and even
27:50
that like it's not 100% that he's playing.
27:52
So I like as exciting it as it is and like, and also you still
27:56
know, I mean, who are they? Who are they playing to?
27:59
They're playing. I don't know.
28:06
They played, they played Man United, I think they played
28:09
Newcastle. And then Bournemouth, so
28:11
Newcastle United, Bournemouth, in that order, so.
28:14
Yeah. I mean, it's not, it's not a
28:15
good, it's not those all three of those teams.
28:18
I wouldn't be. I didn't Newcastle maybe, but
28:21
United, Bournemouth you're not feeling good about?
28:23
No, but United has been letting goals.
28:25
I don't know. I not my not my first pick, but
28:28
he's definitely an option, yeah. Would you rather have tell or
28:32
one year? I would rather have towel and I
28:36
think I'd rather have. I think I'd go to Sula Taaloni.
28:39
There you go. OK, that was my next question.
28:41
Yeah. All right.
28:43
All right. That is waivers.
28:44
I hope that was helpful. That felt helpful.
28:46
It felt cathartic to talk to it. And I think, and I think, guys,
28:50
what do I say again? If you've got players that are
28:52
sitting on your bench, that ain't doing nothing, it's three
28:55
games left. If you've got sign of play for
28:57
for top three, drop those fucking guys.
28:59
You don't need them. Guess someone's actually gonna
29:01
put points up. Yeah, come with it.
29:04
All right. So that's where is I guess we
29:05
can just kind of talk through some news and notes.
29:07
Real quick. We can go quick.
29:09
How much we're doing good, Arsenal pile on the pressure on
29:13
City, We talked about that. York refs 33.5 points in 63
29:16
minutes, gets two goals and assists.
29:19
That was the best game of season without doubt, right?
29:20
Oh, yeah. But without doubt, yeah, I know
29:22
we talked about that. Top of the show, but yeah, it's
29:25
really impressive. So we'll see if they can keep
29:29
this up. Yeah, you know soccer.
29:32
First start after injury 26 points on 40. 5 minutes. 45
29:36
minutes, no Odegard as it was in the tent, right?
29:39
Yep. And I think that's helpful too.
29:42
I mean, I think now we're talking about like when you look
29:44
you're going into next season and you think that as is
29:46
probably the guy over Odegard for the moment, right?
29:50
Like leave you. Think I would have got my.
29:52
I don't know if you'll leave if they win this year.
29:54
I don't think he leaves. You know that he leaves.
29:57
If they win, I don't know. I don't think it leaves.
30:00
I just don't know if like that team is big enough for the both
30:02
of them, you know, for the lack of better term.
30:05
Well, if you want to be, if you look at teams like Manchester
30:08
City and, and to a point what May and I is going to probably
30:11
do this summer, you're going to have rotation, you're going to
30:14
need it. So I don't think they're going
30:16
to let him go that easily. Yeah, we'll see.
30:20
I don't know where he'd go either, but yeah, fair enough.
30:22
Real. Sociedad send him back Next up
30:28
West. Ham lose to Brentford, I got to
30:30
say, and I know that like, you know, I we've talked about like
30:33
I'm even though I'm a Chelsea fan, I am kind of pulling for
30:36
Tottenham because I it'll be fun to have.
30:38
I like having them in the league, you know, as opposed to
30:40
like you having to watch Championship games.
30:42
I don't want I don't want you not to do that.
30:44
Yeah, but I will say that I've felt like West Ham deserved to
30:47
get something out of this game. The score line was very
30:49
unflattering for them and like I wouldn't be panicking on my West
30:53
Ham assets. Like I feel like there's still
30:55
more room for them, you know? I only got 12. .5 points didn't
30:59
score goal. I think the off got like 9.75
31:03
and he would he. Was on the Sith, he was on that
31:06
goal that got this allowed with map upon us.
31:08
Yep. So slowly offside, you know?
31:11
Yeah. So I think, I think that, I mean
31:13
I think they also hit that would work three times, right?
31:15
The work some of you hit. The I think Cassianos hit the
31:19
widow twice. Himself, I think more than three
31:21
times, to be honest with you. I think it might have been
31:23
before, I'm not sure, but they just were unlucky man.
31:27
Very unlucky, that's what it was.
31:28
They look good, they look good, but don't get wrong like they
31:33
put our first team and they tried.
31:36
It's not their fault. Yeah.
31:38
So I mean, and that was pretty probably got pretty emotionally
31:42
devastating for them. Yeah, I don't.
31:44
Get wrong. Do I want to see West Ham go
31:45
down? No, I think West Ham should be
31:48
part of the. Apparently I wouldn't mind
31:49
seeing Forest go down, but I don't think that's going to
31:52
happen. It's between US and West Ham, I
31:54
feel. Yeah, you're fighting for.
31:55
Survival. Yeah.
31:56
You're, you're in the gladiator pit with them.
31:58
Yeah. And it's just only one of you is
32:00
getting out of there. Only one.
32:01
Only one. Is getting out.
32:02
I'm not going to lie. I hope it's not.
32:05
Yeah, not. Fully Dan's guy with the spell
32:07
of magic at the end of the game, third for a beautiful goal.
32:10
I think that was the assist for Lewis.
32:14
He was pottery, but it was pretty.
32:15
Nothing assists. It was all damn so good.
32:19
Just passing some but he also missed.
32:21
Like he had that not an open goal.
32:23
It was pretty. It was an.
32:24
Open goal, he just needed to pass it into the corner.
32:27
The goal, he wasn't even in the goal and he missed that earlier.
32:30
But yeah, there was some, there was some high scoring players
32:32
for Benford, dancing over 20 St. Vandenberg with the shout out,
32:37
so he had 72, five. Eagle Tiago 60.575 with the PK
32:41
keeper at 42.25 kilos Potter 35, Jensen 12, Django 7111.75,
32:48
Nathan Collins 11. Yeah, there's some good, good
32:50
scores, good score. Igor, after this game, was only
32:53
two goals behind Harlem. Now he's three goals a game.
32:56
Yeah, I think. Holland probably has it but it's
32:58
his his like. It'll be interesting to see if
33:01
Igor stays at Bradford. I don't think he went.
33:05
I don't think he's going nowhere.
33:06
He's having been there. There's.
33:07
Some rumors that he might just because I mean, a year like this
33:10
at Bradford in cash in, they might as well because they're
33:13
just such a team where they they want to like strike while the
33:15
cattle's hot, but they're going to they're going to want top
33:17
value like so you're going to pay.
33:19
I mean, he's not that. I mean, he's not that.
33:21
Who's he going to go to? Chelsea.
33:24
Probably that's. Really too, that I know will try
33:27
to buy him. Like, I mean, I'm you think
33:32
Forest can afford to pay well, I don't think.
33:35
I think Woods got hardly anything left in the time, man.
33:38
Yeah, for. Sure, but I don't know, I Igor,
33:41
Tiago, Chelsea, maybe Man United, but Cesco is doing.
33:45
Dude, Cesco actually scored a lot of goals this season.
33:47
I know, I'm just don't say. That so it's not Chelsea.
33:51
Chelsea. Maybe I heard a terrible I mean.
33:54
Like all of all of Chelsea, like Twitter and stuff was like
33:56
melting down, but I had this terrible thing with this guy was
33:59
saying that like Chelsea are going to try and sell job Pedro
34:01
and buy you go Tiago, which is just like terrible.
34:06
Because like you got to, I was playing.
34:07
Really good. But like how much of that is the
34:08
Brentford system like you saw with Whistle last year?
34:11
It's really hard to know. It's just that the system is
34:15
being built around him in a way that's super beneficial.
34:17
Look at the lab when he was. At when he was at Hitwitch,
34:19
Yeah, I think. You should never.
34:21
You should never you get rid of the good thing you have for the
34:24
potential of the great thing. What's what's Chico's line?
34:26
It's like, well, the mystery box.
34:28
Oh yeah, is. What if you had this mystery
34:30
box? Or I can get this mystery box on
34:35
you. Have a choice.
34:36
You can have the boat or the mystery box.
34:39
What, are you crazy? Well, take the boat.
34:42
Not so fast, Lois. A boat's a boat, but the mystery
34:44
box could be anything. It could even be a boat.
34:48
You know how much we've wanted one of those and let's just take
34:50
the box. Take.
34:53
The bath, I don't know that that was.
34:54
Not it you just put you in, but it was essentially this idea of
34:56
like what was people would you what?
34:57
Is this idea that like? People always would rather go
35:00
for like a little bit of the unknown and then like the tried
35:03
and true thing, you know, it's like kind of a bit of the joke,
35:05
the, the print of the joke and like, yeah, I don't know.
35:09
I just, I feel like that's like what the Chelsea owners do, but,
35:12
you know, terrible. The lap what you would have done
35:14
get a man you know he what's in the system maybe I think so.
35:20
All right, next. Some random notes Ballard set
35:24
off for pulling hair. This literally cost me my match
35:26
up in against Tico and Tico. Makes me laugh when he says it
35:30
didn't because he's a world. That's only because it was minus
35:33
the points. Plus he didn't play the whole
35:34
game. So that's all those points, all
35:37
those. Points, yeah, 100% they're,
35:39
they're up 10 at that point too. And you lost by what less?
35:42
Than 10 points, about about 10, yeah.
35:45
No, maybe a few more freaking ballot.
35:47
I know it was pretty dumb setting.
35:49
Actually it was, I kind of took offence to this and I don't know
35:51
if it was me just being like because I like kind of had a
35:55
vested interest in it, but I feel like now this is the third
35:57
one in like 2 weeks, right? And there just haven't been any
36:01
all season before this is that. Not this artist.
36:04
Well, Cucarella has had his head pulled a couple of times, but
36:07
like I'm just saying. The prime, I mean, to me, it's
36:09
that like the Ballard 1, and I think there was one other one
36:12
where it's like it's not so much that they're pulling Enzo.
36:16
Yeah, but it's not so. Much that they're pulling their
36:17
hair, it's that their hair is getting like their hands are
36:19
getting like tangled in their hair while they're like
36:20
grappling No, it's there's not this like Yankee motion.
36:23
It's like their hands like there so.
36:26
My suggestion is they put on swim caps.
36:30
No, they're not going to do. That just saying they.
36:32
Use it for swimming. My issue is that it's it's
36:36
almost. Become an advantage to have long
36:38
hair because that there's a chance that your your opponent's
36:40
hand could get like caught up in it, so you know why.
36:43
Is it a a red card for pulling someone's hair, but for pulling
36:46
someone's jersey is only yellow? Yeah, I mean, I think.
36:50
You have to, you have to treat the hair like a jersey, I guess.
36:52
I don't know. I, I, there's, there's like AI
36:54
think there's like a human level to this.
36:56
So I think the Ballard 1 was just there's no Yankee motion.
36:59
I think the Martinez 1, I don't think there was that much shaky
37:01
much either, right? It was a McGuire, whoever it
37:04
was. Yeah, there was none and there
37:05
was none on. Enzo Wyva you could sell.
37:07
He pulled away and let go when he realized he had hair when he
37:10
was trying to pull the fucking jersey.
37:11
Yeah, so. I don't know, pretty upset about
37:14
that, but is what it is, is what it is.
37:17
Stash Anton Sash back, 71 minutes, 20.75 points.
37:21
He got a great goal. Yeah, he's going to be another
37:24
one. I think he's going to find his
37:25
way into the top 30 of the far too early rankings that we do at
37:28
the end of the season. Oh you pretty easy one Season 1
37:30
though, no? I think he's going to find his
37:32
way in. There, I don't know.
37:33
Yeah, I think he'll, I think he'll go with high drops, is
37:35
what I'm saying. I don't know.
37:37
I mean, he kind of, he gives me like he, he must be like Pascal
37:40
girls. That's not a bad thing, though.
37:44
No, it's not. I'm not saying.
37:45
I never, I never. I'm not saying that I don't.
37:47
I think he's Oh, I thought you'd.
37:48
Say he's gonna go too high and not be worth it.
37:51
I don't know, I just think he's. Going to find his way into the
37:52
top three. I think he's gonna be a top
37:54
three player. I agree.
37:55
Yeah. It's like the Dwight McNeil,
37:58
Yeah. Yeah, similar old Dwight.
38:00
Yeah, little Dwight Mcneilish. Junior creepy puts.
38:04
Away a penalty to make them the youngest.
38:05
Him The youngest player to score 12 goals on his debut season?
38:08
Yep. He's a teenager.
38:11
Or he's 1919 or something. Yeah.
38:13
He's a kid. He's a kid.
38:16
I I just purchased a few of his rookie cards.
38:19
Oh, did you? Nice.
38:21
I like that because I think he's young enough that he's still got
38:26
a chance to make it to that French team.
38:28
And Yep. I think he could have a big, he
38:30
has a big move in him too in the next year or two.
38:33
Yeah, I agree that a. Couple of those rookie cards I.
38:34
Like that as like an investment, you know, that's nice.
38:37
I like that. And there's still there's.
38:39
Still some cheap ones out there too.
38:41
Good. Yeah.
38:43
So I like that. Creepy is good.
38:46
Yeah, it was a pen. But still.
38:47
I mean, how many points did he have with the pen?
38:50
14171415 someone like that yeah so not a huge.
38:54
Amount but he's been OK 1575 yeah not bad at all I am liking
38:59
him he is he's been good I got. Him on.
39:01
We got him on all the line when they were my house.
39:06
He has 5 double digit games as last six.
39:09
He scored four goals in that time period as well.
39:10
Yep. Yeah, it's pretty damn good.
39:12
He's not a lot of assists actually he's not assists.
39:16
He's like, just like he's a. Striker.
39:17
He's a striker. He wants to score.
39:21
Yeah. All right.
39:22
No. Sala injured last game week.
39:24
ESAC outgrowing injury. Oh, I didn't even realize that.
39:26
No. You didn't like.
39:27
Yeah. It makes sense, Loba.
39:28
Slice steps up 28 points, go on an assist.
39:31
So the other thing that undid me this week and I got I feel like
39:34
I was like reliving my the worst week of my fantasy life, but was
39:38
I was like dominating guy was in first in our league and then he
39:42
had Gakpo and Sloba Sly and within about a 5 minute period,
39:46
they scored about 40 points between us 40 plus.
39:50
Yeah, that was wild. That's just that's a sunk me.
39:53
I would have lost anyways because he also did Tokyo.
39:55
But in that moment it felt didn't feel good.
39:57
No, Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
39:59
But yeah, A. Great, great game for them.
40:01
Obviously it didn't didn't pan out for a win, but they you know
40:04
they've been they've had their moments.
40:05
They've been good people keep that keep people are very
40:08
unexcited about Gakbo, but he can is continues to be like a
40:11
pretty reliable player for them. Yeah, but people talking a lot
40:15
of. Shit, because they paid him
40:16
250,000 and sold Luis Diaz and look what he's doing Yeah,
40:20
that's why they're I mean, but. I could, I think most people
40:23
could have told you that at least Diaz was a such better
40:25
player than I don't. Know why they sold him, But you
40:28
know, I think he wanted to go. And I think I think he wanted to
40:31
just got to sell him. How much do they get for 80 mil?
40:34
He's something like that. It's a pretty.
40:35
Good chunk. Yeah, pretty good chunk he's.
40:37
He's in his. He's like 28, is he not?
40:41
I don't know. He's like.
40:42
He's out there. So I know him, Alisa and.
40:46
Harry Kane who are all ex premiership players are just
40:49
tearing up and what and why do you?
40:50
And you had a very good point when you said this.
40:53
Why are they tearing you up? I mean you said?
40:55
Yeah, because you got all the rest.
40:57
They get to rest, they don't get to play for again they and the
41:00
games. They play against inferior
41:02
opponents, so they're not working as hard as they would.
41:04
No, yeah, no, it's true. That's super true.
41:06
It's also that being together, it's also the players are in
41:08
them. I mean, there's a lot of
41:09
factors, but it's definitely a part of it.
41:11
And that's, and there's just the amount of minutes played just is
41:13
approved for that. It's crazy, yeah.
41:16
OK, a couple other. Things Bruno gets 21.5 points at
41:19
another fantasy assists to the tally.
41:21
However, Opta did not credit Bruno for an assist.
41:24
Like legitimately Yep. So he still remains one shot of
41:28
leveling the record. He has three games to do it.
41:30
Yep. I thought, I feel like there
41:32
was. One or two times in that game
41:33
where he had a shot and instead of taking a try to pass, yes.
41:37
Did you see? That a little bit I.
41:38
Think he's thinking about the record a little bit.
41:41
It's on his mind. So he.
41:43
Well, very clearly if he stays that maybe not.
41:45
It'll be the number one overall pick he has to be, right?
41:48
There's just no argument about it.
41:49
Yeah, I don't know if. Sandra, that's gonna be that's.
41:52
They'll be played. Peeled up that pick up Holland
41:54
from #1 still I feel. I think after this year when he
41:56
got what he went 4th, 4-5 this year, I think he'll go number
42:01
one this year. Yeah, him and Drew I would have
42:02
loved to get. Holland I think I was fifth in
42:05
our draft and I would have Oh my God, I would have loved it.
42:07
I think he ended up going 3rd to 4th but yeah, that was crazy
42:11
when he was going yeah. So with that with that result,
42:14
United lock in Seattle football. We talked about the great goal
42:17
from Kobe menu in the last minutes.
42:18
There's some pretty like last minute goals pretty exciting.
42:22
Tottenham look unrecognizable in a good way playing against
42:25
arrested Villa team Spurs with three all right starters on the
42:28
pitch. First back-to-back win since
42:31
2020. August 2025.
42:33
Will they avoid relegation? I wish I would have listened to
42:37
Roy Keane about the house on Tottenham saying oh, because I'm
42:39
feeling pretty good about it now.
42:42
He said that a couple weeks ago and he's like when things were
42:44
like where things were not looking good and he still.
42:46
Said no. Yeah, you still?
42:47
Said it, couldn't believe it. Yeah, we'll see.
42:51
It's uphill bowel like this league's game is going to be
42:54
huge. It's going to be huge.
42:56
That's it's going to be an awesome.
42:57
I'm excited for the game. Yeah, it's going to be it's,
43:00
it's odd. Is it in London?
43:02
It's, it's, oh, it's Leeds. It's in Leeds.
43:05
Yeah, that'd be exciting. Oh no, it's.
43:07
It's Tottenham, so this. Yeah, that's pretty awesome.
43:13
Yeah. I thought as a team they looked
43:14
so good. I think there isn't.
43:16
I think I really know. The team scored pretty well too.
43:18
It was the control. Press.
43:19
For me, the organization is the most organized I've seen this
43:23
team for the last two years because even when we were
43:26
playing under ANG, it was chaos football.
43:29
It was just just chase the ball. This is organized and they they
43:33
all decide when to go. Yeah, which is which is really
43:36
good. It is interesting.
43:37
That like there weren't a time like so Gallagher had the most
43:40
with 13, Charleston 12/5, TSL 122540975.
43:45
And then we're getting to like Cole Milani 75, Danzo 75.
43:49
So it was like these like high, high scores, but it was it was,
43:53
you know, it's just a solid performance.
43:55
You really it was just they look so good and exactly.
43:57
So the high press was the biggest piece of that.
43:59
Yeah. All right, Forest rest everyone
44:01
excess except Jesus and sells and they absolutely cooked.
44:04
Chelsea we talked about in the beginning shocking.
44:07
I think the most shocking thing was the two head injuries.
44:09
Wow, that was that was that was scary.
44:11
Like the dairy one, like they had the oxygen on the field,
44:14
like how long that took. That was he was out cold.
44:18
He was out. Cold.
44:20
And that was, yeah, that was really hard to watch.
44:22
And then the Morgan gives White Sanchez one.
44:24
Then you saw that. We've seen pictures of it since.
44:26
And his face split open. Yeah, you can see his sculpt.
44:29
That is nuts. That was insane.
44:32
But he's out for. The rest of the season.
44:34
Why? I mean I.
44:35
Just it's a big shame for Forest.
44:37
So they had I think he can maybe play in the in the Europa final
44:41
with a mask. I would think maybe in a final.
44:46
I think he's out for the. I think he's out for the second
44:48
leg semi for sure. I think he's out because.
44:50
That's not just your heads for an open you're gonna be on the
44:53
concussion protocol. Oh, I think your.
44:55
Next game for I think that's what I'm saying.
44:57
I think he could come back in time for the Europa League
44:59
final. Yeah, What it was that's like
45:01
what, 2 weeks away? I think even longer.
45:03
OK, it's after the season, right?
45:05
I thought it was right before the end of.
45:07
The season May 20th. Yeah, 20. 4th is the last game
45:11
of the season. Wow.
45:13
Wait, so it's it's it's it's like on a random day.
45:16
It's watch on May 20th, May 20th, so Wednesday.
45:18
Because I know because I'm leaving that day.
45:19
Yeah, yeah. Why do they?
45:21
That's so odd to me that they wouldn't have the European
45:23
league final on like a weekend, on a weekend that would make.
45:25
More sense on a weekend? That would make so much more
45:26
sense, but OK. Yeah, So I could see him coming
45:29
back for that game, but I think and that gives him what, like 2
45:33
weeks essentially to get healthy, 16 days, 16.
45:35
Days. Yeah, but I was.
45:38
If I had William's white in fantasy, I would just not count
45:41
on him for the rest of the season in the league.
45:44
No. Yeah, but maybe pick up a money.
45:46
So it's 30 points, two goals and assists.
45:48
Amazing. Chelsea lose six in a row.
45:50
Woof, woof. I think that this one was not as
45:57
bad as the Brighton one and not as bad as some of the other
46:00
losses. Even though it was even though
46:02
it was a real loss, it was just wasn't the same.
46:04
It was a little bit of fluky, but still no, no excuse
46:08
terrible. I mean, the Job Pedro goal is at
46:11
least a little bit of a consolation.
46:13
It was. Kukra's running up down that
46:16
line, It's just the casino was running up and down.
46:18
I mean, the players, I mean, I think there was more effort.
46:20
I guess what I'm saying is that there's more effort in this game
46:22
than I felt like there was in some of the other games I've
46:26
seen from them. Yeah, in the last in this.
46:28
Run. I mean, it's I think.
46:30
There's a couple of players there that I don't think should
46:33
be in the Chelsea team anymore. Labia, I think honestly, maybe
46:37
even Palmer, maybe just get rid of him.
46:39
I don't know if you can get rid of him but.
46:40
Yeah, there's something's not right there.
46:42
Go go Nacho. Needs to go, but he didn't even
46:44
get on the field. Yeah, but he needs to.
46:46
I'm told about he. Needs to.
46:47
He's taking up a spot. He needs to go.
46:49
Yeah. You need to shore up your
46:50
defense, mate. Yeah, there's a lot.
46:53
A lot. Lot.
46:53
Needs to happen. I'm not going to tell that guy I
46:55
know exactly what it is, but it's clearly stuff's not
46:58
working. All right, Everton shock City
47:00
33. We talked about that at the top
47:02
of the show, Tokyo, 38 points. I mean, I think there wasn't
47:06
much there for city that otherwise, right?
47:08
Like they're defenders. I'm clearly none of their
47:10
defenders at all, no. Gwahi.
47:13
What he did, he got. He got some five.
47:16
Yeah. Shirky 15 five because he got an
47:18
assist as well. Yeah.
47:20
And then Holland with the goal, 12 five.
47:21
That's pretty much all he did. Mm hmm.
47:23
Take Kovachitz. She must have had an assist or
47:25
something. He got 11/5.
47:26
He got an. Assist to Holla Yeah, so I mean
47:29
there's. Some OK scores.
47:31
Krussov had an absolute stinker of a game after a few good ones.
47:34
But the thing with City you got to think about is it's a it's a
47:36
double game week next week for them.
47:38
Yeah, yeah. Palace and Everton, yeah.
47:42
So I think the double game week is City and Palace are the two
47:45
teams with double game weeks. So we didn't really talk about
47:48
that, but we should maybe think about that a little bit as far
47:50
as like, obviously with City, it's a little tricky to know
47:53
what players are available. Like maybe you could grab a
47:55
Kovachev, maybe you could have a Nico Gonzalez.
47:57
And just like if they play, you throw them in and just hope you
48:00
get like a game. And 1/2.
48:01
I think Palace is a little more interesting because there's they
48:04
play City. And Brighton from America, not
48:07
great games. Right, not.
48:09
Yet, but not great games I picked up.
48:13
Ken Bot from Palace. Oh, I saw that.
48:16
With the thought. Of the double game week.
48:19
But like now it doesn't matter because.
48:20
I'm out of everything, you know, I was thinking like, I was
48:22
trying to think 2 weeks ahead, but I think that's an
48:24
interesting one. I think like Strand Larson got,
48:28
you know, it's like a maybe, but it's kind of tough.
48:31
Like they're the players you really want from these teams are
48:32
pretty owned. Like, you know, like Ishmael Sr.
48:35
Adam Ward, 66% owned, you know, so there's not a lot of spots
48:38
where you can really go through and feel good about, especially
48:40
given the the teams they're playing.
48:43
Like Brian's been pretty damn good.
48:45
I know they play Everton, but either way, Everton's been
48:47
almost even been very good. So yeah.
48:49
And man. City Man.
48:50
City has been really good, too. So yeah, it doesn't feel great.
48:54
No. All right.
48:55
I mean, that's kind of it. Talk of the town, the Wilson
48:58
Force wrestling players we were talking about, That negative
49:03
impact of too many games is what it is.
49:06
We got some Champions League fun.
49:08
Champions League semifinals. Yep.
49:11
PhD, Buying and Athletico all rested their team, their first
49:14
team players. Yeah, and then Arsenal.
49:16
How to start their guys? Yep, I mean.
49:18
Again, it's it's. Another little knock on how hard
49:21
it is in the for the Prem to do well in the Champions League.
49:24
I'm not going to lie. Example.
49:26
I hope they beat. Aflaco and go through to the
49:28
finals, so that final. And they get.
49:32
Yeah, they come second there and come second in the league
49:34
because they got concentrate on the final.
49:36
Oh. My God, that'd be really funny,
49:38
but it would also be really sad. I don't know, Commentary and
49:41
switch promoted. Never too early to discover next
49:43
season I will be tuning into the playoffs for that same reason.
49:48
But Coventry is which are quite good.
49:49
Haji right is a is been really good for Coventry, didn't miss
49:54
one. Single game played every single
49:57
minute, Haji. The guy How do you write?
50:00
Yeah. Wow, that's pretty.
50:02
Amazing Rexam mix out on playoffs promotion by a point on
50:06
the final day I was actually watching that game yeah the 4th
50:09
day I was up early my my daughter woke me up early so I
50:12
was watching all those games this challenging yeah I was fun
50:17
but yeah highest league finish in their history 7th it's still
50:20
still a great achievement for them gotta give me the flowers
50:22
and they'll be back next year yeah anything else you want to
50:25
talk about Enzo any anything you want to get off your chest No
50:29
just. Gonna carry on man, keep this
50:31
Windstream going. Just, you know, get 2nd and
50:35
hopefully get first another league and just you know, I
50:37
would love. I think I'd prefer you to be
50:40
Tico, because Chico's not that he's a he's not that fun of a
50:43
champion, like forever. He kind of glow.
50:45
He gloats. I think he probably glowed.
50:47
You gloat a little less. I would hope I would know.
50:49
I probably. Glowed a little less, but so I.
50:53
Mean you want me, you still. Want me to win over Tico because
50:56
Hiko will then have won both leagues and that will just be
51:00
horrible. Yeah, I think so.
51:02
I think what's messed up his Tico's. 1st in this league and
51:05
he's flying for second for bottom on the Nether League and
51:08
he's like he's like. Doing the the Tottenham last
51:11
year where it's like he might win a trophy and then get
51:13
relegated at the same time, it's fucking horrible.
51:15
Yeah, it is. It's horrible, but already,
51:18
