Latest / Draft Offsides Podcast / Ranking EPL Players 50-1 I Ep: 98 Part 2
Transcript
- 0:00Hello and welcome to Episode 98 of Draft Offsides.
- 0:04I'm a Tico Enzo, my name is Keith, and we are officially
- 0:08dropping our first round of rankings.
- 0:10All right. Should we go into the final
- 0:13section? Section OK.
- 0:15Section 49, we have Mikhail Damsgard.
- 0:18I think that has a lot to do with Tico rating him at 89.
- 0:22So Enzo and I bought them at 31. What is that?
- 0:25Tico talk to me. This is Redford concerns.
- 0:29Exactly, he had 10 assists and with Embo MO leaving or on the
- 0:33on the on the way out. So to me it's kind of one of
- 0:36those things like who's he going to be scoring, passing it to?
- 0:39And it was his first year where he had like an amazing year.
- 0:41So it's one of those things that he can be going to be able to
- 0:44replicate it. And I just in the fourth, fifth
- 0:48round, I think there's better options.
- 0:51OK, I'm just curious. I'm going to ask again, what's
- 0:56his ghost points for start? Dance yards.
- 1:00Let's look right now. The 2A's are not cams.
- 1:05One at AMS. Points were started at 10.3,
- 1:09ghost points were started at 7.8.
- 1:11So his war is 1.1310. Point 3 is not like phenomenal
- 1:16but it's still pretty good. I mean like the names around him
- 1:19in Ghost Point Points per start is like Virgil Van Dyke, Raul
- 1:23Jimenez, Nathan Collins, Oscar Vardiol, Chris Wood.
- 1:29Yeah. Martin already got it, but.
- 1:31He he only did it in one season. He didn't do it in a season and
- 1:341/2. So that's.
- 1:35He's been in the league for three years and he's only had
- 1:38one good year, whereas Munis has been a year and a half.
- 1:40In both years he's had very good.
- 1:41Numbers. Dansgar's also been injured the
- 1:43year before that. So yeah, you're right.
- 1:45No, he you're right. He the year before he played 23
- 1:49and 26 games. He couldn't even become a
- 1:51permanent starter. You're right.
- 1:53So his the minutes have been there, the opportunities have
- 1:56been there, he just hasn't produced.
- 1:57You're right, you're right. Of course I'm look.
- 2:01All right, let's move on. This is getting Petty 34 starts
- 2:04for Dam's garden this year. Lovely.
- 2:09Jeremy Fring Pong 446244 Enzo you ever make the lowest?
- 2:14Is that just? Well, that and uncertainty.
- 2:18I know he's going to Liverpool, which is a good team, but he did
- 2:21like Arnie slot. I know in my in my head it makes
- 2:25sense that he's going to have Kirkus and Frimpon going down
- 2:27the wings, but is he going to change his formation or is one
- 2:32of them going to slide in to back three while the other one
- 2:35goes up? I don't, I don't know.
- 2:36There's just uncertainty there for me for Frimpon first, first
- 2:39season in the league. I'm not sure all.
- 2:42Right. What about Rahu Jimenez Tico and
- 2:45I love him and so you seem to like him as well.
- 2:47I think in the fifth round as like a four two, it's pretty
- 2:51darn good value. Yeah, I like it.
- 2:53I like it a lot. What about Martinelli?
- 2:55That's that's a big question mark.
- 2:57Do you like I dropped him down after the matter of Echino news.
- 3:01I think we've all kind of dropped him down.
- 3:02I think like when we first started doing our rankings, he
- 3:04was hard for all of us at one point.
- 3:05Yeah, because he was a nailed in * and now it's just question
- 3:08marks, right Chico? Like we don't think he's you're
- 3:12not sure if he's going to start every game.
- 3:13And I think we said there were a few players, that's their
- 3:15position to lose. I mean, for all, I mean, as last
- 3:19year, I don't think he started off as a starter.
- 3:21It was Muniz, and then Muniz was not able to produce and he
- 3:24managed to go over. I'm sorry, sorry, sorry.
- 3:26Martinelli. Yeah.
- 3:27I don't care about Martinelli at all.
- 3:30Yeah, Sir. I I was just looking at because
- 3:33when we talked about Jimenez, I pulled him up.
- 3:34I was like going to go to throw his game like.
- 3:36But no, Martinelli to me, it's a player.
- 3:38It's not really worth it. Never was so high on him.
- 3:42And I think he's just going to get less and less playing time.
- 3:44I'd rather draft Maduicki and and also if he plays on the left
- 3:47end Martinelli. So Martinelli, let's see right
- 3:53here, Martin, I think his points per start were not as bad as
- 4:00people. I think last year was better
- 4:03than the year before, yeah, yeah.
- 4:05But I think just with the players coming in and the
- 4:09rotation, it's also frustrating Player to watch, man.
- 4:14He is very frustrating to watch. I wouldn't recommend if you have
- 4:17them. I wouldn't recommend like
- 4:18watching those games. Like just look up when you have
- 4:20like 5. That's it, Just look up.
- 4:22His his points per star was 11.1.
- 4:24He had 7.2 ghost points per star which obviously isn't as great,
- 4:27but 11.1 is like not. Not terrible.
- 4:30That's not terrible. And I think, I think the only
- 4:32concern is if, if he's going to get minutes taken away 'cause he
- 4:36started 25 games. Just again, it's, it's good, not
- 4:38great, right? Like you're not mad at 25
- 4:41starts? No.
- 4:44You're not mad, but it's the fact that he was.
- 4:47He's a starter and he got benched because he was not
- 4:50playing well. So you know that's always going
- 4:52to be there if he stop starts like having a couple of bad
- 4:55games in a row. Yeah, and I also think like they
- 4:58brought in someone else too. That's in me as the biggest red
- 5:00flag for him. Yeah, they're also not done
- 5:05making moves. Looks like they're going to
- 5:06bring in someone else. Potentially.
- 5:09All right, Roger. I have Roger ranked the worst
- 5:13out of the Is it? Is it because?
- 5:14You spent 55 on him and then he got injured on you.
- 5:17Might might play a slight role. Like he's he's going to start
- 5:21every game. I well my concern is he came out
- 5:24in the Club World Cup and he got.
- 5:25Injured again he didn't get injured That's that's that was
- 5:28just. He tweaked, he got tweaked, he
- 5:30came off. It's match, match fitness.
- 5:33He's fine. I don't know, I just feel like
- 5:36I'm just a little leery of it and like he like coming off an
- 5:40injury like that, like I think it's going to take a little bit
- 5:42of time and just I'm just not super excited about it.
- 5:46OK, and then you got an answer for this one, Kyle Haber.
- 5:48It's. They haven't signed a striker
- 5:49yet, have they? They haven't signed a.
- 5:52Striker, yet they haven't signed a striker.
- 5:54Without a striker that's ranked so high, even without a striker
- 5:57that is like, even if he's. He will stop every game if they
- 6:02don't have a striker. He got injured.
- 6:03He would have been he he was their top goal scorer last
- 6:05season and he only played half the season.
- 6:08And even if he starts every game as a striker, he still shouldn't
- 6:15be ranked 21. He's ranked 21.
- 6:17Probably if they don't sign any single striker I would drop him
- 6:23considerably. I don't think he'd get the 21
- 6:25for me and that's Tiga. Tiga saying like if if if they
- 6:28start the season without a striker.
- 6:30Maybe he's in like the mid 20s. Mid to late 20s for me.
- 6:34OK, it's not. That's not but.
- 6:35I don't think I'd ever see him. I think if you want, if you want
- 6:37Kai Hubbard's, you're going to have to draft him there.
- 6:40Have you guys seen the photos of him?
- 6:42Like what he looks like right now?
- 6:43Oh, he's fucked. Jacked up.
- 6:45He's. So freaking huge.
- 6:46He's swole. He's like a he's like a middle
- 6:49schooler who found the gym. He's.
- 6:51He's looking like Fernando Torres after he retired.
- 6:53That's true, but he isn't retired.
- 6:55I wonder how he's going to like be able to run.
- 6:57He doesn't need to. He's going to bulldoze to these
- 6:59motherfuckers. He's never the fastest guy, no,
- 7:01to be honest with you. So now he's going to be able to
- 7:03get head as a bully in the fucking 6 yard box.
- 7:05I literally, he's going to like, he's going to get out of the
- 7:08field and start trying to run and just like start and fall
- 7:10over and start rolling. We'll see.
- 7:16We'll see. OK, Ryan at Nori 3043 I'm 38
- 7:21Enzo 57 Tico 35I. To me, this represents like a
- 7:25pretty good value like I'm liking I'm liking Ryan at Nori
- 7:28here. I think the concern is the
- 7:31concern is rotation. But when you look at how they
- 7:33were playing, I thought it was they look so good like when like
- 7:37like in the way he play, how high up the field he's playing,
- 7:39how involved in the attack he's getting.
- 7:41I think it's like it's like Juicy I.
- 7:44Agree, I like I ignore this season.
- 7:48I hope I can get him in this this this early in the rounds if
- 7:50you can. 57th. 43rd. Pedro Poro, I have been ranked
- 7:5728th. You guys both having closer to
- 7:59like the 5th or the 6th. What am I missing?
- 8:02He's one of the Angie's players where he got full fucking
- 8:06permission to just run up the field and forget about defense.
- 8:08I don't think he's going to be able to do that with towards
- 8:12Frank. I think he's going to.
- 8:13I think he's just a new manager, yeah.
- 8:15I think he's going to, he's going to split the manager.
- 8:18That's that's the concern to his new manager.
- 8:20Yeah, I, I guess, I guess he's like, but I think he did well
- 8:23enough that Thomas Frank is going to kind of unlock like,
- 8:26like let him kind of do that. Like, why would you stop someone
- 8:28who like that was one of the bright spots of Tottenham last
- 8:31year, I think. Yeah, but if it doesn't match
- 8:32his tactics. Like he had Thomas Frank had
- 8:36Coyote running up the field quite a bit last year.
- 8:38He definitely like has that in him and I also think Thomas
- 8:41Frank is pretty versatile and it's going to try and do it.
- 8:43His tax is going to be the get the most out of players he has.
- 8:46Yeah, and I mean Pedro Pour when he looked like a lot of those
- 8:49metric stuff like his ghost points per start was like crazy.
- 8:52Like his like what? I think it's 12.2 ghost points
- 8:54per start, although his points per start was 11.8.
- 8:56So he's another one of those guys that suffers from just the
- 9:00amount of goals conceded turning him his war 1.41, which is
- 9:05really good. That's like that's like elite
- 9:07level war. His goals assist clean sheets is
- 9:10only 28%. So it's not like he was getting
- 9:12tons of points from goals. Well, I'm she's he was getting a
- 9:14lot of ghost points. I don't know, you could have
- 9:17hoped that Tom won't let in that many goals that season.
- 9:19Why? We let in a fucking shit ton of
- 9:21goals last season. And only 6 clean sheets, so you
- 9:25would think that number is going to go up.
- 9:28You. Would take more points.
- 9:29Yeah. Yeah, so.
- 9:31Yeah, I'm not even thinking clean sheets.
- 9:33I'm thinking just like. Talking you into lowering them
- 9:36and you guys saw you guys pretty firm on your I'm pretty.
- 9:38I think we should meet somewhere in the in between.
- 9:40I think you. Think so?
- 9:40Too low. And 54 is too high, so let's
- 9:42meet like at 30 something. That's fair.
- 9:45Fourth round or something. OK, Sawn.
- 9:48I think we're just in the holding pattern on right.
- 9:50And we're all just kind of like he's probably not he's not super
- 9:53exciting to draft. And I'd be very alarmed about
- 9:55until we get some clarity about what's going on Tottenham and
- 9:57we'll probably see that in the friendlies.
- 9:59And so they started already playing friendlies.
- 10:00Yeah, they started playing friendlies and he got taken off
- 10:02early. He didn't look happy about it.
- 10:05He started. Yeah, he didn't look happy about
- 10:07it. They took him off.
- 10:07I'm. Going to be honest with you
- 10:10guys, I'm I'm avoiding all the like the Taunton players in this
- 10:15area. I'm.
- 10:18Not really feeling son like James Madison to me.
- 10:20I know Tifa, I know you're a big fan of his, but like I, I don't
- 10:24really feel super comfortable drafting him just given just the
- 10:28uncertainty. I think kudos is a little bit
- 10:30different just 'cause he's looked good.
- 10:32He's looked good. And also he's like they just
- 10:34signed them. He's like, you know, big
- 10:35exciting signing. But then like Kulosevski 2 at
- 10:3832, like I haven't, I moved him up to 43.
- 10:42I was really like those comments we were talking about last night
- 10:44in our chat, like Thomas Frank's like, oh, he's definitely not
- 10:46going to start week one. That's a me isn't like, oh, he's
- 10:49not going to start week 1, but he could maybe start Week 2.
- 10:52I think. I think that's, that's more like
- 10:54he's definitely not going to start week 1 because he's
- 10:56definitely not going to be healthy by then.
- 10:57And which makes things like it might be a while before he's
- 10:59healthy. Yeah, I might flip.
- 11:02I might have to flip him because I didn't change it once.
- 11:05I heard he wanted to start the first game because that that's a
- 11:07red flag Zika. What do you think?
- 11:10No, I mean. It's just the first game,
- 11:12obviously, like you don't want to hear that, but I don't
- 11:15necessarily meet think it's going to result on him not being
- 11:18a starter, I think. What I'm saying is that I, I
- 11:21think it's going to be more than the first game.
- 11:23I think the way that that comment was worded is to me that
- 11:27like he's going to be starting. He's definitely not starting the
- 11:30first game because he's definitely not going to be
- 11:31healthy in that like that window of time.
- 11:34Yeah. It's not like, oh, he's going
- 11:35to, he's going to be close and like he might be able to start
- 11:37the first game. It's like he's definitely not
- 11:39going to start the first game, so I don't know, like.
- 11:43It it's going to be a headache, just all the top of the
- 11:46midfielders. Yeah, that's kind of where I'm
- 11:48at. I do kind of like Salonky.
- 11:51I do. I like him where he's going.
- 11:52I've picked him up in some drafts.
- 11:55I think Yuri Taliban's is one of those players where it's he's
- 11:57like, not very sexy, but he's a very efficient pickup.
- 12:01I agree. You wouldn't feel as great with
- 12:03him as your midfield one, right? No, it wouldn't be that.
- 12:07Wouldn't be that bond as a midfield 2?
- 12:08No midfield. Two, yeah, he's bet.
- 12:10Well, you know, he did better than like Morgan Rogers on a
- 12:13couple couple down, but I don't I think Morgan Rogers, I think
- 12:16he can improve this season. He just needs to be more
- 12:18consistent. I think Murray Rogers kind of
- 12:21fools gold. Not there.
- 12:26His points were started. OK, so he's getting drafted. 36
- 12:29with us. Let's look at what his ADP is
- 12:32right now. 28. 28th His AVP is 28th.
- 12:38Yeah, do. You know what his points were
- 12:40started last last year, 79.5 That's that's like not good.
- 12:47That's like you want to know the names that are.
- 12:48You know what? Mamie's right next to you on
- 12:50points per start. Darwin Nunez.
- 12:52But how many games did Darwin Nunez play?
- 12:55Well I mean 8 but like if anything like that's a smaller
- 12:59sample size but Morgan Rogers played 37 games and old news was
- 13:02able to get a 99.5 or had 37 starts.
- 13:05Morgan Rogers only 9.5 points per start.
- 13:07His ghost points per start was 6.
- 13:09But still, 37 games, 99 points a game span and having five points
- 13:14a game, you know, I think it's it's a little bit more
- 13:16consistent. I'm more.
- 13:18But what I'm saying is like, I think he's just a very boom or
- 13:20bust guy. Like you look at he has his war
- 13:22is .95, which is solid. So, but it's just to me that
- 13:26speaks to someone who is very boom or bust.
- 13:29So as someone who picked him off as the on the wire last year, he
- 13:34is. He has games where like he'll
- 13:36have two assists, a bunch of key passes, like 20-30 points.
- 13:38But then he said multiple games where he played the entire game
- 13:42and he had zero points or 1.52 points.
- 13:44So he has one of those players. From a midfielder, you actually
- 13:47you generally don't get a lot of boom or bust players because
- 13:49midfielders, top tier midfielders should have a higher
- 13:52floor than other positions. But for him, he was boom or bust
- 13:56and he did have a very good year.
- 13:58I think he finished with eight goals, 10 assists and I know
- 14:02that's a player. Enzo Nairo so high and just
- 14:04watching him play, we do think this he is going to get better.
- 14:07So I think that's where I like, I hear that argument that you
- 14:11think he's going to improve. Like I, I hear that.
- 14:14But I just feel like the points that he's scored, like the proof
- 14:18is not there for me. OK, really, How do we feel about
- 14:22Anthony Allinga? I'm just, again, I think he's a
- 14:25really good player. I think he would have been
- 14:27better if he stayed a frigging non.
- 14:28Fork. I don't know.
- 14:29I feel like he'll have more opportunity.
- 14:30I think it's a matter of now it's just a matter of he's going
- 14:32to be getting all the stars. Yeah.
- 14:34That's the question mark. Definitely the question mark.
- 14:38Dico, you have to rate pretty low.
- 14:39You're feeling good about him. Yeah, feeling good about him.
- 14:42Yeah, I think he's going to get the starts and especially
- 14:45obviously if Esock leaves, that kind of changes it.
- 14:47But with Esock being in the middle, taking up so much
- 14:49attention, I I think Elonga kind of a pretty big year.
- 14:53Nice. OK.
- 14:54I mean, I'm not mad at it. Savio Doku.
- 14:56Interesting that they've started to separate.
- 14:59They separate for us at least 3540.
- 15:02I have them ranked back-to-back. You have them.
- 15:03You guys have them? What?
- 15:05Savio? 364630 Doku 374841.
- 15:10I haven't, but basically back-to-back 46 and 44.
- 15:13But so Chico has a big difference between them and and
- 15:15what's that? Because like, when I looked at
- 15:17it, I saw Savio starting a bunch of games in the middle of the
- 15:20season, but he was just absent at the end of the year.
- 15:22So I'm a little nervous about that.
- 15:24I think Savio is more flexible as a player, that's why I have
- 15:27him ranked higher than Doggu. OK, I just think about how we
- 15:31spoke about it several times, about waking up at fucking 4:30
- 15:34in the morning and seeing which one's going to fucking start and
- 15:36which one isn't. Yeah, that's, that's obviously
- 15:38horrific. Yeah.
- 15:39Yeah. I don't.
- 15:40I don't like shut up on anyone. Think of all those times where
- 15:43you have a Meteor lineup and you forgot to wake up.
- 15:45Oh, and they scored 20 points. Oh, and he Subs in scores.
- 15:48Yeah, motherfucker. Yeah, but how about if you have
- 15:52a Meteor lineup and you forget to wake up and then you get a
- 15:54pleasant surprise? Shit, he started and he put up
- 15:5630 points. Yeah, You just say you can just,
- 15:59you just go with it. You just roll the dice with
- 16:01them. You know, Anthony Robinson, 28th
- 16:05in our aggregate rankings, I'm 24, thirtieth 36.
- 16:08I think he's the second defender off the board.
- 16:11I think the concern is that he's not going to be able to
- 16:13replicate 11 assists again, right?
- 16:15Yep. Yep.
- 16:17That that's, that's the, the word.
- 16:19I think he's I think he can. He could do it, but that's a
- 16:23tough feat, man, So tough. But.
- 16:26Didn't he tail off towards end of the year last year?
- 16:28Yeah. He did a little right, Enzo.
- 16:29Yeah, he did. He started turning off.
- 16:31He had, he went for a really bad patch, like six games where he
- 16:34didn't. Yeah, I think he had like some
- 16:35eight points. Was there he was there an injury
- 16:38or just? No injured right now.
- 16:40So I think there was, but there must have been something.
- 16:41And then he didn't play, He didn't play with the US team
- 16:44over the summer. So he was just resting.
- 16:46So, so I mean that's a positive. So he had a minor injury, yeah.
- 16:51Right knee. Yeah, yeah.
- 16:54OK, now we're getting to we're getting to the juicy part of the
- 16:56drop. I mean, we're kind of jumping
- 16:57around a little bit. I'll try to be a little more
- 16:59linear with it. But I do want to talk about
- 17:00Johan Wissa. I don't know what like
- 17:05everyone's seeing in him. I hear rumors about like
- 17:07potentially him going somewhere too.
- 17:10I think there's a couple things. Too, Yeah, if he goes to
- 17:12Tottenham, he's back up, right? So lucky.
- 17:15Or maybe he, Hem and Salaki are switched like competing, which I
- 17:18don't love. If he goes to Newcastle, he's
- 17:20definitely not going to start. So maybe there's games where
- 17:23they go start, but I don't love that either.
- 17:24But Wissa can. Play on the left Brentford, He's
- 17:26not going to have his he's not going to have his like his his
- 17:29Batman, you know, like he's he's robbing the one of those Batman.
- 17:32But but maybe Wissa's Batman and Dams guard is Robin.
- 17:35You never know if he stays at Brentford.
- 17:37I think Wissa can also play on the left too, so he could be
- 17:39like, you know. That's true, Wissa can't play
- 17:43off the left. So maybe you see.
- 17:44That that, that, that the Tottenham thing makes more
- 17:46sense, yeah. That would make more sense but I
- 17:51I like Yo and Wissa but he's not.
- 17:54I don't think he's top top tier, but he's borderline.
- 17:57Hugo, you have Wissa and Elena ranked pretty high and I think
- 18:01is that also just partially the scar scarcity of forwards?
- 18:05Yeah, it is forwards that I do like forwards and it's pretty
- 18:09much what you said, not a lot of that at the forward position you
- 18:12only can play 3. So I think having like 3 good
- 18:15forwards is a is a pretty big difference maker.
- 18:18I think it's a big advantage. I get it, OK.
- 18:22I am interested that we'll be. We've talked about him and like
- 18:26I thought he was going too early in drops, but I feel like he's
- 18:28starting to settle in a decent place, which is like third
- 18:30round. Yeah, someone who's jumped up a
- 18:34lot. Ciao, Pedro.
- 18:36We were going from what, 2 weeks ago talking about how he's his
- 18:39fantasy career is ruined. We've never seen him again and
- 18:43all of a sudden now he's like, I was seeing, I was seeing boxer.
- 18:47He was going as early as the second round.
- 18:48Oh wow, yeah. Matt, you know, he might be
- 18:54putting up second, second round production to be honest.
- 18:57I mean, would you, would you guys be surprised?
- 19:00I wouldn't be, I wouldn't be surprised, but I'd also wouldn't
- 19:01be surprised when he punched someone in the face.
- 19:03He gets a record so. No, he plays for Chelsea now.
- 19:07It's not going to happen. I wouldn't be surprised if he
- 19:11finishes the year on 15 goals, about 7 assists.
- 19:15Yeah, that'd be nice. Solid numbers and like with a
- 19:17with a decent amount of ghost point like a pretty high ghost
- 19:19point floor for a striker you know yeah more so than others
- 19:23just the way he plays and what like how he kind of drops in the
- 19:25midfield and stuff I'd. Probably switch him and Mamoosh
- 19:28from my rankings so I have Matt. That's what I would do.
- 19:32Yeah, yeah. Because I'm banking on him
- 19:34scoring goals, that's why I was banking.
- 19:36Banking on him starting every game like.
- 19:38That's the thing too. That, that was the thing I was
- 19:40thinking about. But then as I as I start going
- 19:42for the list of Man City players, it's just, it's like a
- 19:45fucking Rolodex. How many do they fucking have?
- 19:49I totally agree. I also think like, I just don't
- 19:51know how the City team is going to line up and I'm really
- 19:54nervous about like, it's not so much that I don't think my Moosh
- 19:58could have a great year, it's just that the risk of him not
- 20:00having a good year is is. Two there for where he's going
- 20:05like to risk your third round pick.
- 20:07And so in your case, like what would be your second round pick
- 20:09potentially on a guy that you're not 100% sure that he's going to
- 20:12be starting a lot of games? To me, it's just, it's like not
- 20:15a fun way to draft for me personally, you know?
- 20:17It'd be scary though if you look at So I am 16th and what it's
- 20:20like, what's like he's like 6 or 7.
- 20:23You can get Watts and Mamuf. I'm not sure how I feel about
- 20:28that too if you're going to be drafting.
- 20:30So you're on all gas, no brakes, all upside.
- 20:32Uh huh. More gas, no brakes.
- 20:35Yeah. So then it's Matoma, more games
- 20:38white. I think Tika, you're a little
- 20:40bit lower than him and us. Is Gibbs White a Tottenham
- 20:43player or not yet? Not yet.
- 20:46It's actually not. Technically not.
- 20:48I'm still waiting for this shit to go through because it we got
- 20:51the here we go, but not in a forest like they're they're
- 20:54going through some shit right now.
- 20:55They got legal action. Going on, they're talking their
- 20:57feet for sure. Dude they snitched on fucking
- 20:59Crystal Palace like. I I think I just have him low
- 21:04because of the midfield rotation even though I think he will get
- 21:08playing. Title.
- 21:08I think he'll stop. Yeah, I but at the same time
- 21:12like it is just so many new players in the midfield, it's
- 21:15such a like a clusterfuck. Yeah, but.
- 21:18You and this taught them, so it makes it of immoral.
- 21:20You're like hoping you pick the right Tommen player or you know,
- 21:23let the right men see player and they fucking start the.
- 21:26Game, that's the problem, yeah. That's what you're that's what
- 21:27you're hoping. I I actually to go to your
- 21:30point, I kind of agree. Maybe I I would rather probably
- 21:32start or pick up a few guys that I know like I yeah, would I go,
- 21:36I might go foot in a Wobi if I was looking for a midfielder
- 21:40over Gibbs White and same with Matoma.
- 21:43God, you need to take away the name.
- 21:46It's just when you really think about it, it's just yeah,
- 21:50Tottenham. It's stressing me out,
- 21:52Tottenham. Hey, what's in my world?
- 21:54We're gonna add a Tottenham stench on it, so.
- 21:56Whoa, whoa, whoa. There's no fucking stench.
- 21:58You know what's on there? Europa Stench, that's what's.
- 22:01You guys gonna wear a badge on your shirt?
- 22:03I don't know how many of the Europa.
- 22:05League, I don't know, does. There is that just.
- 22:06A badge on my shirt. He's not used to winning a
- 22:09trophy ski if he doesn't know how those things work.
- 22:12All right, keep going. I'm.
- 22:13Gonna go look this. Up.
- 22:18I'm 21, you guys both have them 17.
- 22:21So that puts him when you're looking at the forwards around
- 22:23him, it's Marmouche, Jao, Pedro and then it's like Ollie Walkins
- 22:27and Manuel Jared Bone, which like a little weights higher up.
- 22:30We're all off clear. So when you're in that range,
- 22:34what is? What's your thought process
- 22:35like? Ten goals, 8 assists.
- 22:39But my other thing I'd think of who was the last like striker
- 22:42that actually like scored a lot of goals for Liverpool?
- 22:44Who played number 9? Was it Suarez?
- 22:47Because after that one. I was really thinking that far
- 22:49back too. Yeah, because like you think
- 22:50about it, they had Jota, they had Firminio.
- 22:53Like they were more utility. Yeah, setting them up.
- 22:57They were like more utility players.
- 22:59And with it, Eketique having 8 assists last year, he did have
- 23:03ten goals. You'd hope people reproduce
- 23:06those numbers well. Is he going to be saying up
- 23:10watts and seller instead? He seems very familiar.
- 23:13Ask in like what I've read about and what I've like seen of him
- 23:17is that he definitely is like very much like can set play up
- 23:19and can make plays as a benefit playmaker and stuff.
- 23:23And that's not a bad thing necessarily.
- 23:24No, it is not. She's not your traditional
- 23:26striker. But I still think that where
- 23:27he's gone would be a good spot for him.
- 23:29Yeah, I know. I think it's a tricky 1.
- 23:31I, I think it's just the, the uncertainty of the league thing
- 23:33too. And like the fact that he went
- 23:34to PSG when he was younger and it didn't work out.
- 23:37I'm, I'm not sure that's like a good thing or a bad thing.
- 23:39I've seen it framed both ways, you know, but I just like, I
- 23:44also think like the same thing with words that we've talked
- 23:46about where when you go to Liverpool, the way that their
- 23:49team is set up, they do such a good job.
- 23:50They're such a well run organization that they put you
- 23:52in a position to succeed more so than a lot of teams do, you
- 23:56know. Yeah, I hear you.
- 23:57So yeah, Martin Odegard, me and Tico are much closer down him.
- 24:02And so you're pretty far off. You just not believe, you're not
- 24:04a believer that he's going to have a bounce back season.
- 24:06I think he's going to be like, come on, third round isn't bad
- 24:09for Odegard. Honestly, I'd be ecstatic, yeah.
- 24:12Third round isn't bad for a hour to go.
- 24:14I'd I'd I'd rather have Enzo Fernandez ahead of him, Golden
- 24:19ahead of him. Really, I'd rather have both.
- 24:21More than I get, but. Enzo's a little I, I've, I mean,
- 24:24if you see the way Enzo Fernandez played in the Club
- 24:26World Cup, I'd rather have Enzo Fernandez, yeah.
- 24:29Also, just if you see his stats from last year, Enzo Fernandez,
- 24:32we're talking 11.4 points per star.
- 24:33Eight points, eight goes points per *1.43 WAR, like 32 starts.
- 24:40Like you have a, you're pretty low on him.
- 24:41I have to move Enzo up. I think we talked about, I think
- 24:45last week's podcast actually, like the the way he was playing.
- 24:47I thought it was fools goal goal last year but especially with
- 24:50the Club World Cup, the way he performed, I think I'm gonna
- 24:53probably move him up. Yeah, Munez, I'm 13, he goes in
- 24:5711, which is good. Enzo obviously continuous is not
- 25:01loving dropping a defender. You'll never see him at 28,
- 25:03obviously. I think if if he drops like the
- 25:06late second, you're pretty stoked for a guy that finished
- 25:117th in points overall, starts a lot of games, has about six
- 25:14goals for assists from a defensive position.
- 25:18I don't know. I think that's pretty spicy.
- 25:19One, Ma Diallo, we've kind of talked about Dwight McNeil.
- 25:24What do we need to talk about? Ma Diallo?
- 25:25I think like maybe just the concerns about positionally
- 25:28where he's going to be with Emblemo, Cuna, Bruna, Fernandez,
- 25:32if they signed another striker, is he even playing wing back,
- 25:34wing back? Playing wing back.
- 25:36Are they going to, are you really going to be excited about
- 25:38having a wing back? Well, you look at your second
- 25:40pick. Well, you, I think you've said
- 25:42it a bunch of times about his points per start, why he can
- 25:45produce from there. He's.
- 25:46I mean he has good points per start.
- 25:48Let me Ahmad Diallo points per start 15.3 goes points per start
- 25:549.6. He also over performed actually
- 25:56quite a bit, I think by like 3 or 4 goals.
- 25:58And it wasn't like it's not like he had a lot of goals.
- 26:00So I think he had eight goals and his XG over performance was
- 26:03like +4 or something or +3, which is quite a bit.
- 26:07So I I don't know, I think there's like, I think that's one
- 26:10where it's like high risk heavy reward in my opinion.
- 26:13But McNeil will be like, yeah, I think it's tough for me to
- 26:17swallow sign it drafting him in this early.
- 26:20But like the numbers don't lie. Yeah, right.
- 26:24We get now we're getting to like the final, you know, like this
- 26:26area, Ollie Watkins. I think it's going to be really
- 26:28hard to see Ollie Watkins ever going in the first round, but I
- 26:31think early 2nd is where he seems to be settling.
- 26:35He's starring unless they get a striker before the end of the
- 26:37transfer window, he's the only striker there so he's going to
- 26:40play every fucking game. Yeah, it's very true.
- 26:44And I think just the scarcity of strikers, I think I wouldn't be
- 26:47surprised if he drops a little bit if like New Yorker as comes
- 26:51in, you know, and like, I wouldn't be, I wouldn't be
- 26:54shocked if people are dropping him ahead of all the Watkins
- 26:56just because it's like the exciting, sexy new pic.
- 26:59I think with all the Watkins, just how bad he was last year
- 27:03fantasy wise and how the splendid people were after, you
- 27:05know, being a first rounder, I think he could be someone that's
- 27:08pretty much a league winner for you if he goes back to like 90%
- 27:12of what he was from like the previous couple years.
- 27:14Man, you want to know something crazy?
- 27:15Watkins what had points per start 10.8, which is not bad.
- 27:19But yeah, to your point for a first rounder, that's a but he's
- 27:22a bust at that, you know, essentially.
- 27:24But his ghost points per start 4.9.
- 27:29He was so goal dependent. Yeah.
- 27:32But was he a Ghost Point person before?
- 27:35Not necessarily. I'm just calling it out.
- 27:37I mean, I think, I think the season that he was really good
- 27:39two seasons ago, remember how many it was like he had an
- 27:41outrageous amount of his set. Double, double digits on both
- 27:43sides, yeah. Yeah.
- 27:45So I think that's where and like that tailed off and then
- 27:47obviously he wasn't starting enough games.
- 27:49Like he only he started. He started 31 games actually
- 27:52more than I thought he did actually, to be honest with you.
- 27:55It's considering the amount of rotations of that there,
- 27:59actually I'm kind of surprised by that.
- 28:00I thought there was going to be significantly less games that he
- 28:02started. All right, so we we get into the
- 28:03final, final 12 here guys. Final 12 These are all the
- 28:07Honestly, I don't think you could really go wrong where
- 28:09these guys are. All yeah, I think there's I
- 28:10don't think you can really go wrong.
- 28:12I think there's we can have conversations about like who
- 28:14would like. I like drafting 12th, 11th, 10th
- 28:18just does not feel great this year to me.
- 28:20I I like Bowen at 11. You like Bowen at 11, OK.
- 28:25Do you like Semenyo then at would you like if you if you get
- 28:28Bowen at 11 or Bowen at 12, who you picking up as you're next
- 28:32pick and like the 1314? Do you, do you go forward
- 28:35forward because he's classed as a forward now or do you go for?
- 28:38Me. You can.
- 28:39I mean I I. See, but you see it right here.
- 28:42Would you pick Dwight Minow over Olly Watkins or or Semenyo?
- 28:45No. No.
- 28:46Exactly. So you'd have to go Bowen,
- 28:49Semenyo or. Yeah, I mean Semenyo.
- 28:53So Chico has, I mean consensus wise, Eric Semenyo's probably
- 28:58close to 12th in ADP. So you guys are not ranked super
- 29:01high. Tico, what's that about?
- 29:03I just not enough goals and assists.
- 29:06Yeah, the ghost. His ghost points.
- 29:08I'll do it for you. I'm not that big as much of A
- 29:11ghost point scouty as Anzo is OK.
- 29:15Interesting, I bet you as AI like Tico but you do like him.
- 29:18And it's not like he had tons. It's not like he had tons and
- 29:21tons of goals and assess. I think it comes down to the one
- 29:25of those things where I've watched them, watch them play a
- 29:28lot more and just his style of play, his dribbling, all that
- 29:32stuff. I think he's just a solid player
- 29:34and I'm a fan of his game. You know what, you know what?
- 29:36I hate to admit this but me and Tigo do have like similar ways
- 29:40we look at players sometimes. He might talk a lot of shit, but
- 29:42he's he's doing. He's everything he said I could
- 29:45have said, but he would. You know, like, remember that
- 29:48when he was just standing in front of the ball waiting for
- 29:50the defender to, like, attack, he was just standing there,
- 29:52yeah. You know, like.
- 29:54Sometimes you keep like that against.
- 29:56You It's like this is the same reason why Antico likes that one
- 29:58player that does the Dragon Ball Z, you know what I mean?
- 30:02It's also he also like last year was a down year for him.
- 30:07The year before he he put up 15.1 points.
- 30:09Yeah, but different was Alicia was there.
- 30:11That was with Alicia, I'd say, yeah.
- 30:14It was, but still, you know. I I pick Bowen over as a puffy
- 30:19honest. I've I've boneheaded as a as
- 30:21well. We both do.
- 30:22I think just the consistency in like I I like and also I think
- 30:26the forward scarcity because I like when I've done some mocks,
- 30:29if you take it as a like, I don't know, I just feel like
- 30:31taking a forward early is so huge.
- 30:33So then in the second round or the third round, you're not,
- 30:35it's like I need to take a forward, but you can be like,
- 30:38oh, like a nice midfielder fell to me and I can I have the
- 30:41luxury of taking it. I don't feel like so pressure to
- 30:42take it forward here and like reach for a forward.
- 30:45Can I? Can I?
- 30:46Comment on that. Why do you feel like you have to
- 30:48go midfield forward or like you can't go 3 midfielders in a row?
- 30:52I think, I mean you can, I just think that there's, there's a
- 30:55scarcity of forwards this year and so when you do go 3
- 30:57midfielders in a row, you're looking at like a Raul Jimenez
- 31:00as your forward one. That that's fine.
- 31:03But if you're taking the best player available and not going
- 31:06by position, you could have, let's say you go 3-4 midfielders
- 31:09in the first round, so you have 4 solid midfielders.
- 31:12As you build your team, you can, there's also trades, waiver
- 31:15wires, all of that stuff. And there's always going to be
- 31:16players that break out that you don't think, you know, before
- 31:19the draft, they're not going to be ranked as high that they have
- 31:21a great year. So if you take the best player
- 31:23available and then you could always make trades.
- 31:25Yeah. So that's why the idea of like,
- 31:27oh, you know what, let me just take a lesser player just
- 31:30because of a position positional reason.
- 31:32To me, I think that's just a bad draft.
- 31:34Well, no, I don't think it's. I don't think it's bad or good.
- 31:37I think it's just a tactic that we use.
- 31:39I I think it's like AT guy. I think to your point, like if
- 31:42you're if it's between taking a lesser player, then I agree, but
- 31:46I think like when you're looking at AI don't know.
- 31:49I'm trying to say I'm trying to think of an example like if if
- 31:51I'm sitting in the third round and I have two midfielders and
- 31:53it's like the the options between like taking Pedro, Neto
- 31:57or Alexa. Wobe I, I would, you know what I
- 32:02mean? Like I wouldn't feel great about
- 32:03like being, I would feel not great about thinking Pedro Netto
- 32:06because I think Alex Wobe is going to offer more value there.
- 32:08So I would, I would maybe be forced to do that.
- 32:10So like in that sense, I like to me because I like my rankings.
- 32:14You're my like, you know, my tears and stuff.
- 32:16But like, but then like all of a sudden, like Dominic Solanke,
- 32:19I'm much more interested in I would I would like, I think I
- 32:22think Alex Wobe and Dominic Solanke are a little closer to
- 32:24me. And I would probably be like,
- 32:25OK, like even though I technically have Alex Wobe
- 32:28ranked higher with two midfielders, like I don't mind
- 32:31like a slight reach on like a down salon key there.
- 32:34No, I I get, I get that part, but I'm just saying in general,
- 32:37like, you know, taking the lesser player, if it's a coin
- 32:39flip, then yeah, go with what position you need.
- 32:41But if you know, if the players are similar, but just overall
- 32:44when like people feel like I don't have enough midfielders,
- 32:47so I should, you know, reach for a midfielder, even though there
- 32:50you know, there are better options on the board like the
- 32:51forward or defender. That's that's what I'm.
- 32:54I I see what you're saying because you can have more
- 32:56midfielders than forwards. I see what you're saying, it's
- 32:58just, I don't think it's right or wrong.
- 33:00I'm, I'm not saying anyone's right or anyone's wrong.
- 33:02It's just the tactic that you have.
- 33:03And if you draft 2 great midfielders in the first two
- 33:06rounds, then great, but you're going to need a forward at some
- 33:09point. Yeah, I also think you have to
- 33:11start at least one forward. So I think I think that's part
- 33:14of it too. Tiko is like you're going to
- 33:16have to start someone and they're if they're, if you're,
- 33:18if you're relying on, you know, a combination of Raleigh Meadows
- 33:22and, you know, Brendan Johnson, you're not going.
- 33:26To do that, you're not going to be doing it.
- 33:29And I think I think too like you have to think about position.
- 33:30Like when I look at midfielders, I think that they're they tend
- 33:33to be a more consistent position and forwards tend to be like
- 33:36boom or bust. And this is very like general,
- 33:38you know, but like, so like I think if you don't have a strong
- 33:43forward, you sometimes you're going to lose that chance to
- 33:46really go off and like, you know, like it's less like, you
- 33:50know, so I think you kind of like that's when I think of
- 33:52balance, I think of it like I want to have guys that are
- 33:54consistent. I want to have guys at any given
- 33:56we can absolutely explode. And I want to have guys that
- 33:58like keep my floor at a healthy position as well.
- 34:02Got it. All right, OK, then we get into
- 34:04this weird. Oh that's interesting that so
- 34:06Brian and Buemma for us is 9, so we all been ranked down the
- 34:09player. That all of us ranked the same.
- 34:12That's funny. Yeah, only one.
- 34:14And now you can. Now you can change that to Man
- 34:16United. Like officially can, right?
- 34:19Oh. By the way, and you guys will
- 34:21have a Europa patch, it's something.
- 34:24Nice like this? Well, maybe it maybe it's on the
- 34:27the jersey that's coming tomorrow.
- 34:33Brian Weber, do we? Are we liking him?
- 34:36Man United, like, I think the combination of him and Konya
- 34:39could be really good. Could be, but again, it's Man
- 34:43United, so I'm not sure. So so I think I think for me
- 34:47like 7-8 nine you have it's it's really going to be like in
- 34:51general, it's go. It's like in a lot of boxes, it
- 34:53looks like it's going like words cunier.
- 34:56And what about are the options there?
- 34:58I personally like the upside of words and I just get really
- 35:02nervous about United players. Chico, you seem to be the
- 35:05opposite. You seem like you're kind of in
- 35:06on the United guys. Yeah, I'm and I'm the United
- 35:10guys and coming to a new league, not to beat it that horse.
- 35:14And then we talked about players coming from the German league
- 35:18tend to struggle a little bit more in the EPL the first year.
- 35:20So to me it's I rather go with the player who's been in the
- 35:24league for a few years and has been has produced on a lesser
- 35:26team. So you don't.
- 35:28Well, lesser than Man United. Not too much lesser.
- 35:31Right, lesser. That's what you just said.
- 35:34You talk about Kunya, right? I think they were only one
- 35:37position away from United, no? No, no and bueno.
- 35:41And bueno on bueno. And Bueno Underworld.
- 35:43So Bueno went to a lesser team then Brentford.
- 35:45Where did Brentford finish where?
- 35:47Did the time to finish. That's not what fucking talking
- 35:49about you piece of shit. No, no, no.
- 35:51But I'm just saying in general, like the expectation United are
- 35:55going to be better today, right? Not this year.
- 35:58We said that. We said that last year.
- 36:00They can't get much worse. They can't get much worse.
- 36:03That technically they. Can fuck.
- 36:04He rattled. He's rattled.
- 36:06Keith. No.
- 36:06No, think, think about the players they got the last couple
- 36:10of years, Holy Lun Xerxe, people who came from outside of the
- 36:13league this year, the the players they the transfers
- 36:15coming in Cunha from the EPL and Bueno from the EPL teams that
- 36:20historically have not been great teams and they've produced those
- 36:22numbers. So saying that, I get it, you
- 36:26know, United was shitty, but the fact that they're going there,
- 36:29United is going to be a much better team.
- 36:31OK. Attacking wise, I don't know
- 36:32about defensively or in the midfield.
- 36:34I think that's the way the concerns are.
- 36:35I don't. Think defensively they were like
- 36:38terrible to be honest, I. Don't think they were whatever I
- 36:40I, I hate to say it, they just didn't score goals.
- 36:43So this this is them trying to fix that.
- 36:46So I hear you. I I honestly, I wouldn't be mad
- 36:49at any three of those of 789, but I would prefer what because
- 36:56of the. Outside, we're in agreement
- 36:57there, I think, I think. I would go I think.
- 37:00The one upside, the one upside of Cunya and in Buemmo is that
- 37:04they're forwards. Yeah.
- 37:06So I'd go, you know, what's Cunya and Buembo?
- 37:08That's how I would rank them. Yeah, that's what you have.
- 37:11I think I'm similar. But the thing with words is
- 37:14like, what's their front fork gonna look like?
- 37:16What position is you get to play?
- 37:18I think there's more clarity on the on the Manchester United's
- 37:22front. But then, you know, he's going
- 37:24to play. Yeah.
- 37:25Because he's just. I'm not.
- 37:26I'm not concerned about like that's I'm not.
- 37:27That's a weak argument because he's going to play with the
- 37:30money they spend. Yeah.
- 37:33Of course he's going to play, but does his value change?
- 37:37Depends where he plays. That's actually where I'm
- 37:38trying, where I'm trying to say. Anywhere he played for labor
- 37:41crews and anywhere he plays for Germany, he puts up numbers.
- 37:45So I think that'll be fine. I think he'll be fine.
- 37:47OK, let's move on. Cunha is 7 for us and then it
- 37:51gets interesting. We have a we have some different
- 37:53opinions here. Isaac in the six.
- 37:56I have a fifth and thousand 5th 2006 early Holland's next.
- 38:02I think that's I think those are pretty close to me.
- 38:05I think Holland does a slightly better, like less dependency on
- 38:08goals and assists in Isaac and I think like they're but they're
- 38:11both of them was durable. Like they both had their had
- 38:14their injury issues. I think there's very similar in
- 38:15a lot of ways. Island 4th and 1006.
- 38:18He doesn't. I think the the the key thing am
- 38:21I wrong that isex more goal dependent but Holland actually
- 38:25has a decent ghost points per start.
- 38:27It's not, it's not. I wouldn't call it decent, but
- 38:29it's it's not as bad as you think.
- 38:31Early Holland, points per start, 14.
- 38:34Ghost points per start, 17. It's not that great, yeah, but
- 38:40it's not as bad as you might think if you were watching a
- 38:42play. OK, this is what I kind of want
- 38:47to talk about Brenda Finance a little bit.
- 38:48I've been thinking about him a lot recently, and I've actually
- 38:51bumped him all right on the 6th in my rankings.
- 38:52I would rather draft Holland and Isak ahead of him.
- 38:55Oh, really? Partially because of Strikers,
- 38:57partially because I think there's a lot of people that
- 38:59have been talking about United and it's like, can we really
- 39:04support drafting 3 United players in the top 10, four in
- 39:08the top 15? Like it just seems like the
- 39:10amount of goals that have to score and all these, all these
- 39:13factors just feels like that there's going to be a, a, a Big
- 39:16L here. And people are kind of going
- 39:17back and forth between who's going to be between Cunion and
- 39:20Blenmo. And I'm kind of putting out that
- 39:21I think it might be Fernandez that actually struggles to get
- 39:24points. And that has a lot to do with
- 39:26the fact that he's going to be playing in the 6th the whole
- 39:28time. He's going to be further away
- 39:29from goal. He's not going to be crashing
- 39:31the box as much as he has with those guys ahead of them.
- 39:34He's going to be more of like the build up play supply
- 39:36supplier. And obviously he'll be on
- 39:37penalties. Obviously, these things like I
- 39:39still take him over there to two guys, but I'm I'm think that
- 39:42this might be a year where he doesn't deliver the level of
- 39:44consistency that he has. He had that.
- 39:46He has. Interesting.
- 39:48When you guys think about. That I hear what you're saying.
- 39:50I do. But Bruno has, doesn't matter
- 39:53how. He's Mr. Consistent.
- 39:55I totally. And and it doesn't matter how
- 39:57shit this man in I team is, he doesn't underperform.
- 40:01He doesn't. Yeah, I, I'm not, I'm not saying
- 40:04he's going to underperform. I think he's still going to be
- 40:06great. I think just what they're what
- 40:07there's going to be needed from him is going to be different
- 40:09than in years past. He's not going to have to be the
- 40:11guy that steps up and scores and delivers those things when he
- 40:14has these other names in this team, OK.
- 40:16And I think he's going to potentially be doing other
- 40:19things for them a little bit. Oh, if that makes sense.
- 40:21Gotcha. So they have United has four
- 40:24players ranked in the top 20 on the ADP.
- 40:28Yeah, and but yeah, including Diallo.
- 40:31But I think the way they kind of get their points, all of them
- 40:35are kind of unique. And Bueno, obviously goal
- 40:38scoring wise, that's where he kind of gets most of his points.
- 40:42Cunya takes on dribbling and for Brunei, he doesn't get a lot of
- 40:47those passes. Yeah, I agree.
- 40:49That's what I'm thinking. But obviously the more players
- 40:55around him it, it might drop off.
- 40:56But at the same time, like he also has more weapons to kind of
- 41:00do his things, do his thing, less attention on.
- 41:03Him like. Right now you could, you could
- 41:06make both sides of the argument. And then looking at his years
- 41:08ever since he joined United, his worst year, he averaged 12.2
- 41:13points per game. Totally.
- 41:15I'm it's a big call. What I'm, what I'm saying is is
- 41:17like, that's not the norm. I'm just saying that I'm
- 41:19concerned about, I think of all the things I'm concerned about
- 41:21how far back he's playing. He's playing it at six now.
- 41:24He's playing alongside the Casamero or Newgarde where he's
- 41:27going to be asked to be doing a lot more of the build up play
- 41:30and a lot less of like the box crashing, a lot less of those
- 41:33things because he's going to have like those guys had him
- 41:35kind of like when we talk about like Bruno, Bruno Gamiraish from
- 41:37two years ago where he's going to be.
- 41:39Yeah. Like last year he was asked to
- 41:40do less. So his points were just went
- 41:42dropped off significantly. So let me ask you this question,
- 41:46Keith, just off the top of your head from like let's say the top
- 41:48ten players you have ranked, who are you the most confident that
- 41:51will play the most games in the most minutes?
- 41:54I mean, Bruno Fernandez, this could definitely be up there.
- 41:57See, I think he's going to play a lot of games, a lot of
- 41:59minutes. I think Saka's up there.
- 42:00I think Co Palmer's up there. I think those are the top three,
- 42:03I would say. And Bruno, just because his
- 42:05longevity, how many years he's been doing it and the guy
- 42:07doesn't really move, I would think I will put Bruno as #1 and
- 42:12in that sense. And I think that's that's a huge
- 42:15thing. Because obviously like, you
- 42:16know, if you get a first round player, look at like with Erling
- 42:18Holland, he got hurt last year and you know, all of his fantasy
- 42:22owners were kind of screwed. I hear you.
- 42:23I look the best attribution is availability, your best the.
- 42:27Best ability is availability. The best attribute is
- 42:30availability. Either way tomorrow.
- 42:32So you guys, I hear your point and I think that's why I mean, I
- 42:34still have them above Cunya and above and I know, but I'm just
- 42:37I'm just projecting in the potential that that he shot does
- 42:42a little that. There's a drop off again.
- 42:44Are you really mad if you get hardly a sack before Bruno?
- 42:47That's yeah. I mean, we're, we're splitting
- 42:49hairs. Yeah, you're splitting fucking
- 42:50hairs right now. I just, I the one thing I do
- 42:53like what's coming up is 1 of Tico's fucking calls.
- 42:55Which I I'm not going to lie, I sort of like it.
- 42:59Which one are you talking? So Cole Palmer and then what?
- 43:01Tico. Cole Palmer.
- 43:02Tico taking Cole Palmer won overall.
- 43:04Yeah. I like Bukai Saka.
- 43:06I like and I like I like where his head's at because I I put
- 43:09solo third also, just because of the Lichy just goes to AFCON and
- 43:12history of him playing shit off the AFCON.
- 43:15He just got a new contract. I think he's chilling and I
- 43:18think he's there's. You have solo second.
- 43:21Oh, sorry. We'll change it.
- 43:24We'll change it, Yeah. I just think that's a great, I
- 43:27great idea because there's so many more attacking options now
- 43:30at Louisville that he doesn't have to be the main focus.
- 43:32Do I still think he's going to take a shit ton of shots?
- 43:35Yeah. I still think he's going to run
- 43:36into the box. Yeah.
- 43:37Do I think he's going to score goals?
- 43:38Yeah. But he doesn't have to do it
- 43:40every game. But I like it.
- 43:41But he most likely will be doing it every.
- 43:43Year. Yeah, most likely, yeah.
- 43:45I mean, again, more likely than not, but all these guys are
- 43:48another year older too. Yeah, but I like the Coba
- 43:50Michelle. I think they, I think also him
- 43:52playing like, I don't know, like playing more in the in the
- 43:57middle of the pitch or coming in off the left, similar to soccer.
- 44:00I think they're, I think they're pretty comparable.
- 44:02Like if I was the 11 and it's between soccer and Palmer, I
- 44:05might just go Palmer because I'm a Chelsea fan.
- 44:06Like I like, I don't think it's like that much of a difference
- 44:09that I'd feel like they need to drop soccer over Palmer.
- 44:11Like I think they're, I think they're pretty darn comparable
- 44:13as far as what they're, what they're what you know, what they
- 44:16can do. I'm fucked either way.
- 44:18If I get faster or second pick, fucked.
- 44:21Why in fact. Because Pakaya soccer and Palmer
- 44:23is fucking Arsenal in Chelsea for me, I'm going to have to
- 44:25pick one of them. Go masala.
- 44:27I could go masala but I don't like the outcome thing.
- 44:31Or you could try if you get the first over pick you just try to
- 44:33trade with someone who really wants the first over.
- 44:35I'll pick. Yeah, you could also go with
- 44:36Holland. I mean, he was the consensus #1
- 44:38pick for the last two years. Yeah, it's true, mostly.
- 44:41I doubt I'll get the first pick. Yeah, well, that's it guys.
- 44:45That's our rankings. We're going to make these
- 44:46available, you know, soon, so we'll probably when the episode
- 44:51comes out, we'll tweet out the episode and we'll tweet out like
