Transcript
- 0:00Just to backtrack real quickly. I do not have to get too
- 0:02sidetracked here, but OK, getting back on track.
- 0:06Just to backtrack real quickly. I remember everyone.
- 0:09I don't we don't know. We're not going to get this
- 0:10right now, guys. Let's move forward, OK?
- 0:17Yeah, I don't want to talk about it.
- 0:19I don't want to talk about anything that happened.
- 0:22Can. You fake it.
- 0:23Hello and welcome to episode 100 of Dropped Off Sides.
- 0:27I'm with Tegan Enzo. My name is Keith.
- 0:29We did it guys. 100. 100. 1. 00100.
- 0:35You know what really upset me is that when we when we, when I was
- 0:38watching the the last episode, because I remember Sergey signed
- 0:41about when you hear 100 subscribers, you get
- 0:44commercials. I fucking thought it was a
- 0:45commercial was son, you fucking added.
- 0:48No, you're just messing with you.
- 0:49But that was also I, I sort of quite understand the edit that
- 0:52Sergey made in it, but that's. Why there was a commercial?
- 0:55That we didn't explain it to us. It will eventually at another
- 0:59time. Or maybe it's just a joke.
- 1:00Maybe it's just we're not even in on the joke on our own
- 1:03podcast. Maybe that's it.
- 1:04He's. Doing his own inside jokes on
- 1:06his. Edits.
- 1:09Oh my God, I love it. It's fine.
- 1:12OK, so fun episode today, guys. We're doing a another mock
- 1:15draft. Obviously we're much closer now
- 1:17than we were when we did our mock draft over a month ago, so
- 1:20this one's going to be a lot more relevant.
- 1:21People are starting to draft, Yeah.
- 1:24So this is like this is the real deal.
- 1:26We're in the thick of it. Things are happening.
- 1:29There will be obviously a slightly little adjustments.
- 1:31This draft is from July 31st, so obviously anything that's
- 1:36happened since then won't be in here.
- 1:38But yeah, so that that's what we're doing today.
- 1:41OK, Shall we get into the draft? Yeah, let's, let's.
- 1:45First, first, let's just get a temperature check to start it.
- 1:48And how did you feel after this? I, I did not feel good, have to
- 1:53be honest, because I was, I, I said this earlier like Sergey
- 1:57fell asleep and didn't wake up in time for the drop, but he was
- 2:00smart enough to put AQ in. Enzo thought, you know what, I'm
- 2:04going to raw dog it fine. I'm, I'm well equipped to pick
- 2:08up some players. And you know what?
- 2:09As I did after the after the like 6 round rattled.
- 2:13Panicked. So you I that to me you were a
- 2:16little cocky going in. You got humbled.
- 2:17A little bit. I got real humbled, yeah, got
- 2:24real Hubble. You picked the goalkeeper in the
- 2:26tent round bro. I panic.
- 2:28OK, hold on, let's looks like out there, but it is very funny.
- 2:30There was a few so round one, it's pretty standard first few
- 2:35picks. I think 11 Saka salt, 1-2 Sala,
- 2:3813 Palmer, 14 Holland. I thought this was a little bit
- 2:42interesting and this is something that in the in the
- 2:45banter boy who a lot that big shout out to banter boy.
- 2:48There's a lot of the guys from their mock discord filled in
- 2:52some of these spots, but they were kind of asking what we
- 2:55thought about this words that had a Bruno pick.
- 2:59What did you guys? It's, it's on, it's still
- 3:01understandable. Like we, we got to think that
- 3:04Bruno might be playing a little bit deeper, but we, we do know
- 3:06Bruno's going to do Bruno things, but the we don't know.
- 3:09It's the unexpected from works and a livable team that is now
- 3:12stacked with firepower. Like he's not only going to
- 3:16score goals, he's going to have a plethora of players to pass
- 3:19to, to assist to. So I think I, I, I don't
- 3:22disagree with it. I think if you went over or it
- 3:25works out, I don't think that's a bad pick.
- 3:28Yeah, I'm kind of in the same vein and just in the sense that
- 3:31like there's not like there's not like a wrong, there's not
- 3:33like a wrong way to go. But I think ultimately like the
- 3:36even as someone who I, you know, like I've talked about how I'm
- 3:38not as hot as on Bruno as I have been in the past because of what
- 3:41we talked about, like just him having more players playing
- 3:44ahead of him and playing deeper whatnot.
- 3:46But like he's still just such a known commodity that it's hard
- 3:49for me to stomach kick. But I like, I think it's more
- 3:53exciting, like Wartz is probably more exciting the draft.
- 3:56And I think, you know, there's a lot of there's a lot of upset
- 3:59there. But I think ultimately, like
- 4:00when you look at words, even with the unknown element of it,
- 4:03like he has such a good kind of like pedigree as a player and
- 4:07Liverpool has such a good like structure as a team that I feel
- 4:10like it's going to be he's set up for success.
- 4:13So I really don't hate it, but I think it's very personal.
- 4:16I think if, if I had a gun to my head, I'd probably go Bruno.
- 4:20But like, if you're having fun with it, why not?
- 4:23It's not it's not going to ruin your draft.
- 4:25No tiko. Any thoughts?
- 4:28You're looking. You're looking inside to stop.
- 4:30I I think just going over an unknown player on when there's
- 4:36so many like, you know, obviously Bruno Fernandez, who's
- 4:38been the stallion ever since he's been in the premiership and
- 4:42like outside of how long who's been like dominant since they
- 4:45came like famous. Sports from the German league,
- 4:48right? Yeah, yeah, like a lot of them
- 4:49struggle. So that's yeah, you're very,
- 4:51you're very right. So.
- 4:53Again, I mean, I think he's going to start off good, but we
- 4:57saw with Sobisai as well the first year, it kind of the
- 4:59energy it takes. The Premier League is obviously
- 5:01a lot more physical and a lot more games.
- 5:04So holding up for the entirety of the game, playing 40 to 50
- 5:07games, I don't know. I think it's just high risk.
- 5:10Bruno's done it just been so consistent.
- 5:12It's to me, it's kind of wild, yeah.
- 5:15Yeah. I mean, I think ultimately I
- 5:16think we all rank bring them ahead, but I don't yeah, yeah,
- 5:20for that reason. OK Jared Bowen won seven a
- 5:22little bit earlier, I think ahead of ESAC, which is a little
- 5:25odd to me too. We don't need to get into it too
- 5:27much. I think maybe the ESAC news a
- 5:28little bit is rattling people. But like kind of like what Ryan
- 5:32talked about last week on the pod is like there's only upside.
- 5:36Either he goes to Liverpool or he stays in Newcastle and either
- 5:38way it's. Gonna be fun.
- 5:40It's gonna be absolutely fine. Yeah, I know Matt, as long.
- 5:43As he stays in the premiership, he's OK.
- 5:45Yeah. So like, maybe there's a small
- 5:47chance, but I really don't see him doing that.
- 5:50Kind of surprising to see him Brembo go ahead of Cunha.
- 5:52It's kind of been the opposite. That was that was Enzo's picking
- 5:56from the 19. Enzo What?
- 5:57What was the logic there? I just feel like Brembo can get
- 6:01more fancy points. Like in my opinion, I think
- 6:05Cunha would probably score still score goals, but I think Brembo
- 6:09was going to be one of those pieces too.
- 6:10He's the key piece for Mania right now in the attacking fray
- 6:13that both could be playing basically the same position.
- 6:16But I think Brembo, we'll do a lot more dribble completions, a
- 6:21lot more shots. I just I just like him by by by
- 6:25and Kunya have a few months. OK, then 110 is I bet you as a
- 6:31goes and 111 Matteus Cunha goes. Then I'm sitting at 12 and I was
- 6:35kind of hoping that Cunha would drop to me because I think that
- 6:37I like have a better idea of what I want there, but I'm not.
- 6:40I'm not 112 looking at Viktor go Koresh still on the board.
- 6:43It's me, some menos on the board and something I haven't done
- 6:46before. And I thought, why not some mock
- 6:48drop? Let's go for it is go forward,
- 6:49forward. And the first is round with my
- 6:511-2 or my 1:12 and then 21. So I went go Koresh and Semenyo,
- 6:57which is kind of a, you know, kind of a a little bit of a
- 7:00risky play just from that standpoint. 2 forwards wasn't no
- 7:04defender, no midfielders. But but not Maddie, not Maddie,
- 7:08Keith like you're 2 good good forwards, you know 11 we're not
- 7:14sure he's first season and the other one is more of a sure
- 7:17thing in my opinion. That's the idea.
- 7:20I also think it's nowhere that 11 that 11th pick went Marmouche
- 7:24right after. So they were Cunha Marmouche and
- 7:25I was core Chris and then, you know, and I was kind of
- 7:28wondering how that was going to affect the draft.
- 7:30You see it as you go through that there is because so many
- 7:34forwards are taking early that there ends up being some mids
- 7:37later that are pretty good, you know, that are kind of left
- 7:41leftover a little bit. But what do you guys think?
- 7:44Like Marmouche in the in the Tutu to meet feels really early
- 7:47as well. I thought that one was like
- 7:50doesn't make a lot of sense just considering the players still
- 7:54there. I guess, like, I guess what
- 7:55you're really hoping for is just like that's going to be like all
- 7:58upset, Like if you if you if you ignore pep roulette, you know,
- 8:03you just like it is points per start, then maybe like it makes
- 8:05sense. Other than that, I think have a
- 8:07really hard time with that one and.
- 8:08He's also leaving for seven games.
- 8:10Ronnie probably from the F1. Yeah, that's true too.
- 8:13Yeah, so. He went forward forward and he
- 8:17went Konyo, who's probably a he's not as goal dependent and
- 8:20he's got my emotion was probably definitely.
- 8:23Even with Cunya, I think my concern and then like you're
- 8:26going to drop him there in the in the first round, you're going
- 8:28to probably have to because just what it is.
- 8:30But my concern is that like, it's just a new team, new coach,
- 8:33all these new factors. So I don't love like hopping
- 8:36into players like that. And if I am going to hop into a
- 8:39player like that, I want my next pick to be a little safer.
- 8:42And so going with Cunha and then going with my Mush is like just
- 8:45a lot of risk and and then also a lot of eggs in one positional
- 8:49basket too. Great.
- 8:52It's a little. Concerning, but I mean, I mean
- 8:55upsides there for sure. 2-3 Ollie Watkins goes 24 Odegard.
- 9:01That's you Enzo. You decided to go Odegard into
- 9:02two four. It just felt to me it just it
- 9:06made sense to take Odega. There was not really.
- 9:08I wasn't going to take Diallo because I already had a main I
- 9:11player and especially with my understanding I'm I'm not I know
- 9:16and Bwambo is saying he's not playing 10 but there is times
- 9:18where he could actually play that very attacking win back
- 9:21role in my opinion. Or play as a striker too.
- 9:24I mean, he's. Yeah, so Odegah there.
- 9:29The only my only issue with that is if you know, if also do
- 9:32eventually get as a if they get as a that's that'll be the only
- 9:36thing I was thinking about, but I'm hoping it don't and I don't
- 9:39think I will and I think I ought to go play the the same place he
- 9:42would play for us. As long as soccer stays healthy,
- 9:45we'll get who get his assists. I.
- 9:47Think you got to feel pretty good with Odegard there.
- 9:49I mean, I on a lot of mocks I've been actually taking Odegard in
- 9:53like the two one and I've seen Odegard going a lot early like
- 9:56early early second round. So getting him, you know, in the
- 9:5924 you're almost halfway through the round at that point.
- 10:02Solid Ziko, Any thoughts with that pick?
- 10:08No, I mean, I'm I'm a fan of Odegard, but I think like going
- 10:12Gibbs white might have been the safer pigs, but she starts to
- 10:14staying at forest. And I thought and like Keith and
- 10:18I think both of you are high on Odegard, but Enzo was not high
- 10:22in our when we were talking before in previous episodes.
- 10:25But it was kind of interesting you went Odegard there.
- 10:27Well, maybe I got a little bit of bias because Gibbs White
- 10:29fucked me so. Got it.
- 10:31All right. That, yeah.
- 10:34I love it. OK, so Gibbs white goes or it
- 10:37goes Diallo in the 25. Gibbons White right after 26.
- 10:41Daniel Muniz goes 27. I think at that point in drafts,
- 10:45if he's still there at the 27. I'm I I'm liking that.
- 10:48I think maybe a little earlier I'm not feeling great, but there
- 10:54like do do you hate that or do you like that?
- 10:55What do you guys think? Would you rather?
- 10:57Would you rather him go later in the draft if you like?
- 11:02Well, we like, Tito said. He's, he's had a consistent year
- 11:05and a half, you know, I mean, like he's.
- 11:08It's still just a year. It's a year and a half, yeah,
- 11:10it's more than a year. So he's had a good year.
- 11:12And it's it's a defender and it's a defender.
- 11:14You can, like Tito said, you can sit and forget.
- 11:16So I. Guess I'm not the concert.
- 11:18I'm sorry. Go ahead.
- 11:20I'm not mad at you. If you look at the players
- 11:22afterwards that got picked up, what was Eke, TK, Gian?
- 11:26Pedro. Gian Pedro Foden.
- 11:29Foden's the only one there where I'm like, like I want.
- 11:32Well if if you look at the entirety of the second round he
- 11:35might be the most like guaranteed player from everyone
- 11:38else. Like everyone else has question
- 11:39marks around them except Muniz. Yeah, I think the question marks
- 11:43about Ron Muniz would be like on is he going to play too much?
- 11:46You know what I mean? Everyone else is like, is it
- 11:48like it's like a lot of other players, are they going to get
- 11:50enough playing time? Are they going to lock in the
- 11:52start? And Muniz, it's like they're
- 11:53like, oh man, he met with Europe.
- 11:55He might be like too many games. Hopefully the appeal doesn't go
- 11:58through on Crystal Palace is not in Europe, so.
- 12:00Well, they'll be in Europe either way.
- 12:01It'll be your. It'll be.
- 12:02Conference. Yeah, Chelsea former champion.
- 12:06I know, I know what you mean. I mean, even then, like, but
- 12:08then you might see him rested in some games just against a way
- 12:11lesser opponent. OK.
- 12:12But then I think really interesting 28 Hugo KTK goes,
- 12:16which you know, Enzo brought it up before we started recording,
- 12:18but his ADP right now is in like the 40s.
- 12:22So for him to go here is pretty darn early I think as well.
- 12:26And I like, again, it's just like it's being really
- 12:28optimistic, right? Is that the person who picked
- 12:33them because he picked Florian Walton the first round?
- 12:36Is he just the Liverpool fan? I'm not sure.
- 12:38No, sure. That's a good point.
- 12:39I think. Yeah, I think it's just.
- 12:41Looks like it. Yeah, I mean when you pick two
- 12:45of the players for the same team the first year I.
- 12:47Definitely would have got Gio Pedro before I could see.
- 12:50But I also think that like so then Nate, our our buddy Nate,
- 12:53who's on, he's been on the pod before.
- 12:54He picked from the the 4th spot and he went Holland in the first
- 12:57round and he went Gio Pedro in the second round.
- 12:59I, I mean, to me, that's just a such an interesting decision
- 13:01when there are some solid midfielders still out there.
- 13:04And then like Gio Pedro is there's a chance that he comes
- 13:07back to you. Like I like, I just don't really
- 13:10feel like I don't, I mean, maybe I'm totally wrong, but I just
- 13:13feel like him going to the second round, you're he's
- 13:16starting to go, that's starting to be way too early for him in
- 13:18my opinion. Just not knowing.
- 13:20I mean, we've, we've seen like we've seen him play like 3,
- 13:23what, three games for 2 1/2 games for Chelsea?
- 13:25Like the amount of games he's played for Chelsea is so little.
- 13:28You you know what it is? It's every year when someone has
- 13:31a good World Cup, especially they play role in the final.
- 13:33Yeah, yeah, it's literally what happened.
- 13:35You have a final, you have to score two goals against PSG
- 13:39like. We scored one goal in PSG, but
- 13:41yeah, one goal, yeah. They found the best player, so
- 13:44yeah. Yeah, I mean.
- 13:46It's the hype train. It's totally the hype train.
- 13:48I think I could TK is the same way that like, you know,
- 13:51Liverpool bias aside from top pick 5, but I still think like
- 13:54between both of them. I just like, I just feel like
- 13:57sometimes you just have to be a little more reasonable with
- 13:59picks, you know? Yeah.
- 14:01And it's not as sexy, you know? Obviously Phil Phone goes in the
- 14:03210, which I like again is a little early for me, but Dwight
- 14:06McNeil at 2:11, at that point, that's starting to feel like a
- 14:08steal from the 2. There's a fucking steal right
- 14:10there. And then Matoma 212 and so
- 14:13Sergey and the so Sergey did something kind of interesting
- 14:16where I feel like there's this big, there's a lot of pressure
- 14:19to go get a four in your first 3 rounds and Sergey opted for you
- 14:22got sock on the 1st and on the 2 three training on Matoma and
- 14:25Kudus, I would have those partially because he just didn't
- 14:29feel like he didn't feel like he had to reach.
- 14:31I mean, I think part of it is that in the, you know, when it
- 14:34gets to him, there's three guys. So he's the last one to pick in
- 14:38the second round and there's three guys that have gone
- 14:41forward for it in the first two rounds.
- 14:43So I think that kind of limited his limited his attacking
- 14:47options. But I also think that it was
- 14:48smart of him to not reach, to not be like, not to panic and be
- 14:52like, oh I need to like reach for Pedro Neto here and said he
- 14:56went with who he thought were his best mates.
- 14:58Also if you look at those midfielders and their
- 15:00capabilities and that goes point capabilities, it ain't fucking
- 15:05bad is it those those 3? Yeah, I think I, I don't mind it
- 15:08either. And I also think like what we
- 15:11forget. And I think there's like this
- 15:12little bit of like we people talk about forward scarce field.
- 15:16They've been talking about a lot that a lot this year.
- 15:18And obviously there's slightly less scarce now with Kyokres and
- 15:20Ekatika in, but also that you forgot that you could only need
- 15:23to start one forward. So it's like that can be your,
- 15:26your, your one forward could be your 5th best, worst player on
- 15:29the team, your 5th best player on the team.
- 15:31You could have 4 great mids and then have like a guy that you
- 15:34know, that would be the equivalent of having like a
- 15:36midfield four or something. So I like, so I don't, I think
- 15:40that sometimes the the need to fill positional holes sometimes
- 15:44gets like makes people make bad decisions and I that's kudos to
- 15:47Sergey. Classic pun.
- 15:50I know for just sticking with sticking with who his like best
- 15:55available was and going trouble time.
- 15:57Like, let's play devil's advocate, though.
- 15:59Like forward. Two guys want to handle it.
- 16:01Yeah, shut me down, but it's like.
- 16:04Forwards is known that forwards get you the most points.
- 16:08Biggest pop, right? Yeah, Biggest boom, guys.
- 16:11He's auto drafted, he just made his list and I'm sure if there
- 16:15were, there were probably forwards on there that where
- 16:18would he draft it? I think he said that he would.
- 16:21Have done this, he said. He would have dropped that, he
- 16:22said. My.
- 16:22He said. But Sergey would say that,
- 16:24though if I could be honest, he'd gaslight the fuck out of
- 16:27us. What?
- 16:30OK, I mean, maybe. I mean, I don't know.
- 16:32I still think I'm. Still.
- 16:33Still like it though. So maybe the maybe the computer
- 16:35saved him, but I also think it's, I think that was the right
- 16:38decision though in that, in that spot.
- 16:41I love that Sergey backed out this.
- 16:43Point. What do you think?
- 16:43You not? Do you not agree?
- 16:44Do you think that you she should have reached for a forward?
- 16:47You think? Absolutely.
- 16:48Pedro Netto. No, no, Absolutely.
- 16:50Not I I'm in the mindset you shouldn't reach just take the
- 16:52best player that's available. But I'm just saying, you know,
- 16:55like Jesus not praising that much.
- 16:58There's a like an auto draft. Yeah, Sergey, I need to chime
- 17:01in. Chime in, Sergey.
- 17:04Speak. Come on, Sergey.
- 17:08Oh, here you go if. You're not.
- 17:09If you're saying something, we can't hear you.
- 17:14OK, He's got. He's got shy, he got shy he.
- 17:16Got shy? All right, so I thought this was
- 17:20also interesting too. I think this is way too early
- 17:21for Doku unless you've got some insider info about what you
- 17:24throw in there. Yeah, So I think that kind of
- 17:26threw things off then, because then pick 3 gets Anthony Gordon,
- 17:28who I think at the turn I'm really liking.
- 17:31I think if you can get Anthony Gordon at that 2-3 turn, that's
- 17:33like that's starting to represent some really, really
- 17:35good value. So getting him at 33 is amazing.
- 17:37Enzo Fernandez, same thing at 3-4.
- 17:40Nate picked that up. I knew Nate was just like, giddy
- 17:42probably when he saw that good stuff.
- 17:45Probably knowing Nate if you look at his first 3 picks like
- 17:49don't get wrong Harlan or Gel, Pedro's tasty and Enzo Fernandez
- 17:52is a slight risk but not really who after seeing his tournament.
- 17:56Yeah, I think he'll be fine. I mean, like the way there's
- 17:58long as Morasco's there, I think he's going to be a totally good,
- 18:01good attacking option. We like Anthony Gordon a lot
- 18:04more without E stock, right I. Like Anthony Gordon either way.
- 18:08I mean, Anthony Gordon's was really good two years ago last
- 18:11year if he was on pace up a really, really good season
- 18:13before an injury and then a ill town red card really derailed
- 18:16his end of season. But before that, like he was, he
- 18:19had a little bit, he was a little bit of a slump after the
- 18:20EUR, which a lot of players were.
- 18:22And then he got absolutely was going off for a while there and
- 18:26then, yeah. And now he put.
- 18:27Him to sleep literally put him to sleep.
- 18:30Yeah, but then they haven't got anybody from that role besides
- 18:33Harvey Barnes, so his, his spot's free safe.
- 18:36Barnes is the backup. Barnes is definitely the backup.
- 18:39But like, I mean, Barnes is a good backup.
- 18:40Like if if they're a good backup, you know, it's like
- 18:42they're going to they're going to rush Gordon back if anything
- 18:44happens if he gets injured or anything.
- 18:45But exactly. But I still think like, like I
- 18:47don't think there's any concerns that that Barnes is going to
- 18:50take that spot long term from Gordon.
- 18:54So yeah, I like that. Then we get to Pedro Netto 3/5
- 18:59man, I people are loving him and I, I really do like Pedro Netto,
- 19:03but sometimes I feel like he's he also him and Jon Pedro both
- 19:06are going a little early just from the Club World Cup stuff.
- 19:08I just, I really do, and that's as a Chelsea fan.
- 19:11But last year he finished the year pretty strong though.
- 19:14He's just strong. You're totally right.
- 19:16No, you see that like Cole Palmer can play out there.
- 19:18We have that new SNL William guy.
- 19:21I just I just like I'm not like as excited, like I think he can
- 19:25be really good. He's also not an out and out
- 19:27striker and so so it's just like there's a few different things
- 19:30about it that make me a little nervous, especially if you're
- 19:34striker one like and for this case, pick five had picked the
- 19:37pick of TK there on before. So you're talking about Striker
- 19:392, but still. Yeah, still it's on say for for
- 19:44his forwards 3, six and one upfront.
- 19:47Morgan Rogers I think we are all a little gun shy in Morgan
- 19:51Rogers, right? I like Morgan Rogers.
- 19:54Do I think that's it's might be slightly too early?
- 19:57Maybe. But I do like Morgan Rogers. 37
- 20:01Dominic Salon goes off the board.
- 20:03Enzo, were you hoping that he would drop to you in the 39?
- 20:05Yeah, I was hoping I'd get him at 39 but didn't happen.
- 20:09I think he can score some goals this season when this time of
- 20:12Frank System, so I think that's a nice pick.
- 20:15Honestly, for your forward 2 it's not bad. 38 Deckler Rice
- 20:20feels early a little bit, but I think he that's kind of where
- 20:23he's going, right? That's kind of his AVP.
- 20:25Yeah, if he But if Altar hasn't played that false 10, he's going
- 20:29to be great. I forgot about your false ten
- 20:32thing. Decklin Rice AVP right now is
- 20:3532.1, so that's actually not far away.
- 20:38Not where he is. That's wild.
- 20:41Amazing. Yeah, people are all people are
- 20:42all on on the false 10 train ends up.
- 20:46Yeah, false 10 man, I'm telling. You and then Enzo I I don't
- 20:49know, like, dude, did you? Are you were you?
- 20:51Did you love this pick? Enzo had Johann Wisser, 39.
- 20:54It was between Wisser and Elango and the only thing I thought of
- 20:58was I like Wisser and Brentford and I, I, I still think, I don't
- 21:02think Brentford's going to be terrible this season.
- 21:04Can I be honest? I know they lost Thomas Frank,
- 21:06but they got a manager that was already there before as an
- 21:08assistant. They still got Damsgard in
- 21:10there. They still got some key, key
- 21:12components. I still think he's going to be
- 21:14more relied on and the Langa to me was I'm still unsure if he's
- 21:18going to be our star first few weeks of the season with Murphy
- 21:23there. So that's what I was thinking.
- 21:27What do you think about this pick?
- 21:29I'm I'm not that high on this side.
- 21:31You could have had your boy Ewabi or Gamma.
- 21:34I wouldn't have gambled with Sabi out there, but I I'm high
- 21:37on it longer. I know we there's a lot on
- 21:39those, but I'm also like, I'm not a Lisa fan.
- 21:41I don't he's going to be able to replicate the year yet last
- 21:43year. And he has AFCON.
- 21:47And he has what? AFCON.
- 21:50No, he is AFCON. Well he's a person.
- 21:54He's not AFCON but I'll check he plays which.
- 21:58One whistle. Whistle has AFCON.
- 21:59Yeah, he. Plays for Congo.
- 22:07All right, so then Elena goes right after that and then Savio.
- 22:12So this is actually I will say that this is probably sorry,
- 22:19Savio goes and this actually really threw me off because I
- 22:22was looking. So I'm on the 312 and I'm
- 22:23looking going. OK, I'm going to get either I'm
- 22:25going to get either a will be in or jam scarred and happy like
- 22:29that has like a floor like bass line player.
- 22:32And then having I thought like, Oh, then I'll have Savio was
- 22:34like my high upside MIT and I was like, I'll get 2 mids.
- 22:36It's like, why don't either kind of echelon, you know, like that,
- 22:39the high floor guy and the high ceiling guy.
- 22:42And then with Savio went right before me.
- 22:44I kind of panicked and just went with two high floor guys, which
- 22:47is which is fine. It's not the end of the world,
- 22:49But I think in hindsight, I might have swapped out either
- 22:52world beard or dance guard for you Cuba Minta, because I just
- 22:55like I think you Cuba Minta was super good last year and I
- 22:58really like him. He ended up going 4/6 and I knew
- 23:01he wasn't going to come back going to come back to me, but I
- 23:03was my thought would be that I would want like he has points
- 23:08per start were really high and the only thing that held him
- 23:09back was a lack of starts. And when you look now at
- 23:12Brighton, a few players have left that were that were kind of
- 23:17in those positions and it's mid to 2nd year kind of playing for
- 23:21that team. So I could see him getting
- 23:22trusted more and having more starts.
- 23:24And I feel like his intention would be a high upside guy, you
- 23:27know, So I just feel like I probably would have and like
- 23:30taking a step back and not panicking at the moment.
- 23:32I maybe would have maybe swapped a World beer dance card for mid
- 23:35to there. Still not bad picks though.
- 23:38No safe. Yeah, safe picks.
- 23:42And I thought it was really interesting that this is the
- 23:44round, round 4 where we see a ton of defenders go, you know,
- 23:47like there was obviously no defender round one, Muniz goes
- 23:49round two, no defenders Round 3, which is kind of rare.
- 23:52I think a lot of times you'll see Robinson or or Poro go here.
- 23:56But in round 4, all of a sudden it's Frimpong goes 242, Poro
- 24:01goes 4/4, Robinson goes 45, Van Dyke 47, Tarkowski 48, Wambasaka
- 24:0649 and at Noy 412. So I.
- 24:08Feel. Don't you feel like Frimpong was
- 24:10a punt there though? It's it feels a little early.
- 24:12I I think Pedro Por and Anthony Robinson should both be going
- 24:15before Jamie Frimpong just because there's you just don't
- 24:18know, like he he could be backing up Masala a lot.
- 24:21Conor Bradley's there. Like there's just and there's
- 24:23just too many that we don't really know.
- 24:26That makes me feel that excited about that.
- 24:28But compared to when you have Robinson Poro still there.
- 24:31I I think the pick 11 is also doing a thing because all of
- 24:34their players are like extremely high upside, but very like
- 24:38because Kunya Omar Marmoush Savio and friend Park now you
- 24:42don't know what they're all going to be, if they're going to
- 24:43start or not. Essentially just all the stuff
- 24:45we're hearing about. So I think he's just taking like
- 24:47high risk and drafting those players.
- 24:49Even if you look at the future picks, which we'll go through,
- 24:51you can see like there's a there's a trend.
- 24:53Yeah, it's like, it's like a full set.
- 24:55It's like drafting to win, kind of like what Joe's talked about
- 24:57in the past. Totally Enzo for you, getting
- 25:01Pedro Poro for four and opting to go ahead that instead of
- 25:04Anthony Robinson. What was the logic there?
- 25:08Pedro Poro gets goals, you know, I know Robinson got 10 assists
- 25:11last season. Honestly, he wasn't my what I
- 25:15wound up picking this round. I was actually aiming for I want
- 25:17Yuri Tillerman's and he went right before my pick.
- 25:20So it it just made like fantasy, fantasy wise, like those point
- 25:26like he gets goals, he gets assists, he gets down the field.
- 25:29If he can be anything like that Kyono player that Thomas Frank
- 25:32had, I think he can still produce.
- 25:34And after after pushing Artera off the touchline, like I I even
- 25:39more respect. I'm glad I did it.
- 25:40He was at the final you saw that you woke up this morning and saw
- 25:43that that shove on Artera, you know, a full shove on the
- 25:46touchline. Get the.
- 25:47Fuck out of the way. And then you're like, this is my
- 25:49guy. This is my guy I like.
- 25:51It's all good. I like it.
- 25:52I personally would've got Anthony Robinson final chance.
- 25:56Bias. You know, Jedi, Jedi Knight over
- 25:59there. Yeah, I think just stability
- 26:00like same coach, you know, there's just more stability
- 26:04there. But but like, I think when we
- 26:05we've looked at Poro's underlying metrics and they're
- 26:08like they're like insane. Like his underlying metrics were
- 26:11even better than what how he finished last year.
- 26:13So and they learn A and they learn a ton of gold.
- 26:15And they learn a ton of gold. So you go.
- 26:17Where would you go between the two?
- 26:18I mean, you could look at all the as many stats as you want.
- 26:21There's only one stat that matters, the red, white and
- 26:23blue. Whoa, I did not.
- 26:25I did not think I was going to hear that from.
- 26:28You tikka I I would have got poro.
- 26:31You would. You got Poro.
- 26:32I would have got Poro. Interesting.
- 26:35OK. Then I guess with the other
- 26:37thing that's interesting, we talked about all the defenders
- 26:38in this round. It just feels like, I think in
- 26:40this round defender starts to feel like a value.
- 26:42I think in the 3rd, to me, all these guys start to feel like a
- 26:45little bit of a stretch. But in the 4th I I kind of feel
- 26:48better about all of them. The one to me that's a little
- 26:50wonky is Virgil Van Dyke going ahead of Tchaikovsky and
- 26:52Wampsaki and at Nori. I have him behind all three of
- 26:55those guys. All right, can we?
- 26:58So here's the case for Virgil. I feel like every year we talk
- 27:02about him and like he's not that good of a defender point wise,
- 27:04but I think we're just, it might, must be something about
- 27:08it. Maybe like we don't like him,
- 27:09maybe we don't think he scores enough goals because he's been
- 27:12producing over 10 points. His worst year was 9.2 and he
- 27:17always starts, they get a lot of clean sheets and he's very
- 27:21consistent. He's very, he's actually very
- 27:23similar to Tarkovsky, just on a better team when you look at
- 27:26their production. So I think we're low on Virgil
- 27:31for no reason. So last year you got last year
- 27:34you got 17th overall, the year before you got 25th overall, the
- 27:37year before that in 2223. Amongst everyone, right?
- 27:40Not overall. Not just the founders, yeah.
- 27:42Then 2122 you got 9th overall, so OK, you're probably right.
- 27:46Oh yeah, but I'm just saying, Todd Kowski gets more of those
- 27:48ghost points, doesn't he? Yeah, I mean, he's just doing.
- 27:52He's a little busier. So you'd have, yeah.
- 27:54I'm not. Saying he's a bad defender, he's
- 27:56a bad fancy point. Can you have a look at that?
- 28:00Tarkowski let me, I'll pull it up real quick and see if I can
- 28:03do it quickly, OK? 2122 he was 12th overall. 2223
- 28:14he was 17th overall. 2324, he was 11th overall.
- 28:19Tarkowski's better like as a fantasy asset.
- 28:22As a fantasy asset, so you. Just 4/25/28.
- 28:25But it's still not a bad pick. Yeah, yeah.
- 28:28But Tito's point still stands. I think that we've kind of been
- 28:31we we kind of like poo poo him a little bit when actually he he
- 28:35sneakily is one of the better defenders in the league.
- 28:37But I still, I'd still would rather go Tarkowski over it.
- 28:41I I, I see. I think you'd make the argument
- 28:43Van Dyke over on Masaka just just from like.
- 28:45Yeah, it's like a coin flip. It's it's not a huge difference
- 28:48between us. I.
- 28:48Think that Tarkowski is a noticeable, noticeable
- 28:51difference, but I think beyond that, maybe not, maybe not as
- 28:53much as most of us think. I don't think Van Dyke gets Van
- 28:56Dyke doesn't get as much love as some of the other offenders,
- 28:59though, You know, I think it's just probably not as sexy.
- 29:04All righty. After that things start to move
- 29:06along. Sergei often not get a striker,
- 29:13probably because what Gakpo shot go before.
- 29:16So he takes Agorian for 12 and then he turns around and instead
- 29:19of getting Chris Wood, Evan Nielsen, Matetza, Brendan
- 29:23Johnson, he goes for Alexi McAllister.
- 29:26I don't like that pick at. All No, I don't like.
- 29:27That's the pick that I didn't like that he made.
- 29:29Yeah, that's the only one he'd made.
- 29:31I I just don't really get it. It just it it feels like I I
- 29:36know we go for the best player, but now he's he's and done it
- 29:41wrong. I don't think he he ended badly.
- 29:42I just being a lot of he could have went something different
- 29:45here. I.
- 29:45Just don't even think that's the best player.
- 29:47Available The pick right after Madison.
- 29:50Madison. Yeah, I mean, well, that's a
- 29:51definitely high upside player. I think that's just like you
- 29:53have three such good mids, why do you need to get like a boring
- 29:564th mid? Why not like go for it with like
- 30:00one of these attackers? Why not?
- 30:02If you are going to go for a mid, why not go for it with a
- 30:04mid as opposed to getting like a safe option?
- 30:06You have 3 studs, you have 3 mid studs.
- 30:09So. So to me that doesn't really
- 30:10make a ton of sense. But yeah, so then Madison goes
- 30:14after that, Chris Wood after that.
- 30:15I think in the 5th if Chris Wood keeps dropping like where is he
- 30:20starting to be valued to you guys?
- 30:22Summer friend No. 6th I think end of the 5th. 6th All of a
- 30:26sudden I think he starts to be pretty good value.
- 30:28He's not gonna do the same thing.
- 30:29He's definitely. Not gonna do the same thing, but
- 30:31but you're not drafting him to do the same thing in the sixth
- 30:33round. You're drafting him to get,
- 30:35what, ten goals? Twelve goals, Evan.
- 30:37You think Evan Nielsen's going to do better than him this
- 30:39season? His ADP 67.
- 30:43Metet, Chris, What's this seventh round that's starting to
- 30:46feel good? Yeah, that's starting to feel
- 30:48good. That's not score more goals than
- 30:50him. The only one there I don't think
- 30:51he'll score more goals is human son.
- 30:53And I think that's because he's going to fucking LAFC so.
- 30:57Yeah. I mean, I, I, yeah, I like Evan
- 30:59Nelson. I it's just, I'm not like, I'm
- 31:01not like I really like him and I really like Bournemouth.
- 31:04And I think he's, I've said it before, but I think he's like
- 31:06very system orientated. Like I think he's good in that
- 31:08team because Ariola just knows how to get the most out of him.
- 31:12I'd be nervous if Ariola left, but while he's there, I like it.
- 31:16I I just don't. He needs the team around him to
- 31:19score goals. He's not going to do stuff on
- 31:21his own, you know, what do you? And then what about Martinelli?
- 31:25Now are we like, I sucked? Well, I wasn't when he when this
- 31:29got picked, I wasn't sure. Like if do you hate it or do you
- 31:32love it or so last season Martinelli was dropping to the
- 31:35third round and he had returned good value on the third round
- 31:38pick, I actually think. So I think he's value, he could
- 31:41be valued there with Gilcher as being there as someone else that
- 31:43he can get the ball to. If if he can get the ball to him
- 31:48and pull his head up and now his arse and actually look up
- 31:51towards moving the ball. That's that's my only thing.
- 31:55I'd probably I I know Arsenal fans like this and they keeps
- 31:58they blah, blah, blah, but none matter what case you pay on the
- 32:01left, you're going to lose Trussell too.
- 32:03So none, no matter what case you pay on the.
- 32:04Left. I think Trussell got a really
- 32:05bad injury yesterday, yeah. I don't know if he goes now.
- 32:09I I, I have a feeling he won't go now because I think he might
- 32:11have won something. Honestly at at this time there
- 32:15are still good players to take over Martinelli, but at the same
- 32:19time like you are getting around those picks where Martinelli
- 32:23could be a very good value if indeed he does start on a
- 32:26regular basis. I think if he's just starting in
- 32:29the fifth round, you're happy. Yeah, if player of that caliber
- 32:32because you know, he'll go weeks with like you know, 01/2 and but
- 32:36then he'll have those games are like 20 points.
- 32:38And he just, yeah, I mean, he does enough.
- 32:40Like, you know, we, I think he's infuriating to watch, but he
- 32:42does get some points and he does, you know, when you have
- 32:46your head down all the time and you're just dribbling forward,
- 32:48occasionally you run by a guy. The the way you have to watch
- 32:51Martinelli is the same way he plays whenever he has the ball,
- 32:54just put your head down and like just avoid it.
- 32:58I love it. OK, after Martinelli is a little
- 33:00there's a couple of minutes I got off the board.
- 33:02I'm I'm not like a huge, huge guy with all these Cliver Tsar
- 33:07Shirky. I think to me at 565758, I'm
- 33:12like, I think Shirky again represents the really high
- 33:15upside. Climate is so boom bust that I
- 33:17don't love it. Ishmael Saar had some really
- 33:20good moments, but. But he's he's the only one that
- 33:22out of those 3 where I feel those and he probably has the
- 33:25highest upside being especially on the team he's on.
- 33:27Ishmael Saar, yeah, I think he has the highest upside maybe
- 33:30because he might actually play every game.
- 33:32I think that with Shirky, you talk about individual on a game
- 33:34to game basis. I think he probably has the
- 33:36highest upset right when he's in in start to start 59 ends and
- 33:41you got Matata. This is your third forward, so
- 33:43you have 1 midfielder, 3 forwards and a defender in the
- 33:47fifth round. But it's a good, I mean, I don't
- 33:50I don't hate the pit. Matata is a good pit.
- 33:52I didn't hate the pick guy, but it was again, I had you see the
- 33:55players that came after. We'll hear about it, but you see
- 33:57the players that I was around here, I was like I sort of had
- 34:01Tico in my ears saying pick the best player that you needed
- 34:04right there and then, like whether you need them or not.
- 34:06So I picked up Mattel. It's not like I can't play 3
- 34:08forwards if I wanted to you. Just can't play more than three
- 34:11forwards, no Tico. Any thoughts?
- 34:17No, I like Mateta. I'm a fan.
- 34:19Pick up the best player. Let's see, man, just looking at
- 34:23the, that is your last forward. So yeah, you did get your thrush
- 34:26forward, but then you didn't draft another one until then.
- 34:28So it kind of bounces things out, yeah.
- 34:30Absolutely I think, I think it's obviously Matetes values really
- 34:35high as as it says too, if he goes it definitely drops off a
- 34:38little bit. And I would say from here on on,
- 34:40just looking at the remaining forwards, he does look like the
- 34:44one that's always going to start from the remaining ones and the
- 34:46one that's probably going to be the highest points producing
- 34:50ones. So it's like the that you feel
- 34:51comfortable starting every game. Yeah, I agree.
- 34:54I mean, I think maybe Sterin Larson falls into that category,
- 34:56but just for a team that with way less firepower.
- 34:58Yeah, there's like also Jimenez, but like, are you like that
- 35:02confident with him? This was definitely the last big
- 35:05I got any compliments on. I mean, after this, I thought we
- 35:09were, I thought we were confident on, I thought this was
- 35:12a US thing. Sorry mate.
- 35:16Is this a me thing? Are you leaving me?
- 35:20Suck. Are you, are you bailing on
- 35:21Jimenez? Oh.
- 35:23My God, I heard some more news. Did you have some more personal
- 35:27news you hear? About oh, some WAG news tell.
- 35:28Us. Yeah, yeah, Delette broke out of
- 35:30his girlfriend is now a brand new one that he's doing for
- 35:32years. Well, let let me ask you this,
- 35:35Anza, as the expert of this situation, OK.
- 35:39OK, So I'm very curious because Cole Palmer also went through a
- 35:42breakup, right? He's dating a New Girl.
- 35:45So is the lab as a team, do you think this will bond them
- 35:48together because they're at the same stage of the relationship
- 35:50or will it create like, hey, who's goes hotter or like
- 35:53they're not getting along so? I think they'll bond more if
- 35:56they're Eskimo brothers. Whoa.
- 35:58But if it's a serious relationship, you don't want a
- 36:00teammate to be an Eskimo brother.
- 36:02But if the ones before Eskimos then.
- 36:05OK. But.
- 36:06Just before we move on, what if like the Love's girlfriend says,
- 36:10hey, like Cole Palmer was a lot better than your whatever and
- 36:13then Cole Palmer refuses to pass the the lab because.
- 36:16Are we having like a John Terry situation?
- 36:19With John Terry, Wayne Bridge, I mean, this sounds, this sounds a
- 36:21little bit more like there's a like a like an Arsenal fan is
- 36:24one of these girls and she's trying to drive a wedge between
- 36:27the two of them. Do you guys like that?
- 36:28'D be such an Arsenal thing to do.
- 36:32Do you guys think Cole Palmer does his celebration when he
- 36:35finishes or when the girl finishes?
- 36:40It's right before. Honestly, he might be oblivious
- 36:46to the fact that like that. You know I don't.
- 36:50Know. If he's aware or not.
- 36:51Wait, I wait speaking. Sorry, not to get too
- 36:54sidetracked here, but it's so amazing that there's this
- 36:56potential that Drake standing his album Iceman after that Cole
- 37:00Palmer quote. Oh.
- 37:01My. God, that's gonna be that that
- 37:03actually comes to fruition. I just cannot wait to.
- 37:06It's funny, I just saw a meme today of this.
- 37:09He's a Asian American guy and he was so bad.
- 37:10Now he's a football fan because and he it's because it's Cole
- 37:14Palmer and that he used to and his I should've said it's a Tico
- 37:17because I used to think this was Ice Tray, but no, you did.
- 37:20Send it to us. You sent it to us.
- 37:21Oh, that's not you guys. I watched it.
- 37:23And I said, yeah, that wasn't very funny.
- 37:25That was a funny bet. OK, getting back on track.
- 37:29Shiraki goes 58, Matata 59, Milos Cricos 510.
- 37:33I think my concern with Kurkas is that Robertson is still
- 37:36there. Like I was, I was anticipating
- 37:39he was going to leave. And like, I know he's still
- 37:41going to. I know Kurkas is probably still
- 37:42the guy, but like, yeah, they're still going to be like, you
- 37:45think you don't think Robert gets the game?
- 37:46Simkas is still there too, and. Robertson's going to get League
- 37:50Cups and fucking left, left center back for all.
- 37:52Wait, you did, Andy? Robertson hasn't left yet.
- 37:55No. I thought, yeah, that's.
- 37:57I thought he was going to like. Yeah, I thought he was leaving
- 37:59for sure. Yeah, he's not going to play.
- 38:04Do you think Kirk is locked? OK, I'm not worried about Kirk.
- 38:06Is Brendan Johnson 511? I don't know.
- 38:09Like to me, there's just so uninteresting.
- 38:11It's just like, it's just not worth it to me.
- 38:13Because the position he plays, Kudus is now there, so where is
- 38:16he going to play? I think especially for pick 11
- 38:19when you're looking at his draft board, like I just feel like
- 38:21there's players I would have rather got when I already have
- 38:23two strikers there. They left the one.
- 38:25If you're going to get 21 strikers early, was Brendan
- 38:28Johnson really what you need in the in the 5th?
- 38:31And if you look at all three of his strikers, they're all well.
- 38:34Brendan Johnson's definitely the most uncertainty.
- 38:36But Cunya in my mood, she's again be like.
- 38:39Oh yeah, they have to go off. That's kind of what Tico is, a
- 38:42very, very high upset play. So then I'm at 512 and I get
- 38:47Iman and die from Everton. It's another mid.
- 38:49I really wanted to just make sure I had some stability there
- 38:52and not getting him in my first two rounds.
- 38:54I really like and die. I think I think the end of the
- 38:575th is like right at the cusp of where I feel comfortable
- 39:00drafting him. Any earlier than that, I'm not
- 39:01drafting him. I think there's better value out
- 39:03there, but I think there I'm OK with it.
- 39:05And especially knowing that I'm at the I'm at the very end of
- 39:07the draft and I'm just he's not coming back and the midfield
- 39:10options when they come back are pretty scarce.
- 39:13I think the alternatives are going like Slobus, like Bruno,
- 39:15Gemaraish Kulsefsky. I like the upset and die.
- 39:18I think Kulsefsky the injury. I just can't.
- 39:21I just I'm not drafting Kulacefsky with this, with the
- 39:23injury news right now. And then Sloba Sly, I'm a little
- 39:26weary about what that's going to look like, you know?
- 39:30Especially that comes. Yeah, and that then it looks
- 39:33like when they played, they played A4231 when they played
- 39:35last. And so like, is he going to be
- 39:37playing in a deeper role, which all of a sudden his points are a
- 39:39little sketchy. And then Bruno Gemarais just not
- 39:42as much upset solid, like much more solid player.
- 39:45But I kind of had two I have two really solid guys and it will be
- 39:48dance guy. I didn't need a third like high
- 39:50floor guy, you know, yeah, like those are there's like a it will
- 39:54be dance guy, like help you move, you know, but like they're
- 39:57not going to take you on a good night out partying.
- 39:59And I feel like you're Mirage is the same way.
- 40:00He's going to help you move. He's going to drive you to the
- 40:02airport. He's not a he's not a free
- 40:05tickets to the Lakers court side type guy.
- 40:07You know what I mean? Points wise, You know what?
- 40:10I'm saying, you know, sure. He scores points though.
- 40:13Do you like my metaphor? No.
- 40:14You think it? Yeah.
- 40:15It was good. One of these days you're going
- 40:17to need to move and everyone's going to be at a club that was
- 40:19going to be helping you out are. You telling me that all my
- 40:22friends are not? I don't have any like floor
- 40:26guys. I've all high.
- 40:27Ceiling friends all high. Ceilings and then with my 610 at
- 40:32Lewis Hall, I've talked, we talked about him last week.
- 40:34I think he represents the end of that like of a tear for me as
- 40:37far as offenders go. So I was super happy to get him
- 40:39as my first offender off the board there, and I would have
- 40:42been pretty if I didn't get him, to be honest with you, no.
- 40:44That was Nathan Collins still up.
- 40:46I I would go haul over Collins just with the, I think Collins,
- 40:50I don't know if you can do that again.
- 40:53OK, so we're getting into the sixth round.
- 40:55Do you want me to walk through every single pick or should I
- 40:58start kind of freezing through? No, this should be the last
- 41:01round. We do that one.
- 41:01OK, so cool stuff. You go 62.
- 41:03I'm just we talked about hand just injuries, nervous slow the
- 41:06slide talked about, you know, floor guy, Bruno gamerash or
- 41:10potential floor guy. Now Bruno gamerash, floor guy
- 41:12tabernet. I kind of like, but I I still
- 41:15just I don't know about Bournemouth, Otara and the six
- 41:18six right after. I'm just not 100% sure what that
- 41:21looks like for them. I'd like that he was playing out
- 41:23out left, but when you look at where he got a lot of his points
- 41:25last year was when he was playing strike when I mean Ilson
- 41:28was injured. So I'm not sitting here being
- 41:30like, like, I, I don't think, I think his numbers are a little
- 41:33bit inflated because of that. And this one was interested in
- 41:36the next one with human son. This was his Fast forward he
- 41:39picked. Up yeah that is right with with
- 41:42six and that's just weird. I mean, I think this team, I
- 41:44think that that was I think that was there was maybe 1 auto draft
- 41:47and that was it and that shows oh.
- 41:48OK. Yeah, yeah.
- 41:50Because that's made no sense. Sorry to rewind really quick,
- 41:52Enzo, what was your thought process?
- 41:54Sorry, you were the one that picked Bruno Gibberia 6/4.
- 41:57What was your thought process? You just needed you needed a mid
- 42:00at that point. I need a midfielder and I need a
- 42:01midfielder. I know that can be a little bit
- 42:03more consistent. I think Bruno's consistent.
- 42:05Newcastle's a yes, he is. He's shaking head.
- 42:08He. Is a key as I mean he got he
- 42:10what he average He's he got like 45th last season.
- 42:14Because the centers, when they like, steadily put up those
- 42:16points, 8 / 9. He's a very like roller coaster
- 42:19kind of player up in there. But I love this pick selection
- 42:22in the sixth round. This is a guy that was going to
- 42:24the first, second or third round last year and he plays every
- 42:28game and the players around them don't.
- 42:30They're injury prone. So all you need is hoping
- 42:32someone gets injured and Bruno's going to put up much better
- 42:35production. This is my last pick that I was
- 42:37happy with. Yeah, it's that draft.
- 42:41So yeah, OK, now it's jumping back to President Song.
- 42:44Song goes 6-7. He's not going to be in.
- 42:46I doubt that he's I. Doubt it.
- 42:48I like annexing. Goes 6-8.
- 42:50He's still getting drafted to me.
- 42:51He's still getting drafted like Morgan's.
- 42:53White isn't going to be there. Yeah, I think he was someone
- 42:56that was kind of like interesting in that regard, but
- 42:59suddenly not very interesting to me.
- 43:01Nate goes with Nathan Collins, 69.
- 43:05I just don't think he's going to be the same guy, I think.
- 43:08I think when you look at Thomas Frank in Redford, he always has
- 43:11one defender that just actually puts up these numbers.
- 43:13Last year they had the Collins day.
- 43:14Before that it was Ethan Pinnick.
- 43:16I just don't know. And Frank's not there anymore.
- 43:19And we just don't. There's this unknown commodity,
- 43:21which is this new coach and I just don't know what that is.
- 43:24And so I, I feel like this is one of those like trap
- 43:26defenders. You think that will translate to
- 43:28Tottenham? They'll have won.
- 43:30The Family Guy puts up gay points.
- 43:31I mean, I, I think it's very possible and I think that's kind
- 43:34of what Ryan was leading to last week when he was talking about
- 43:36Christian Romero. So I, I think that's like a very
- 43:40like, you know, if you saw, if you listen to the, if you follow
- 43:44the news and follow the trends, I think that's a very trendy
- 43:46pick. It's Christian Romero a little
- 43:47bit later for that reason. So yeah, Nate went with Collins
- 43:52and 6:10, Kai Haberts the the Human bowling ball.
- 43:55Mr. Buff. Mr. Buff Daddy himself.
- 43:58Dude, he put all that fucking muscle for nothing.
- 44:02He put on all that muscle to sit on the bench.
- 44:04No, he actually looked pretty good in there.
- 44:06The game obviously not. Not the game against Tottenham,
- 44:08but the game previous looked. Pretty good.
- 44:10Not made by fucking Q Romero in the box.
- 44:14But yeah, I think he had two assists.
- 44:16Yeah. I mean, he's just, he's
- 44:17obviously gonna be playing a role for this team.
- 44:18And maybe 6 is getting to a point where maybe there's like a
- 44:21place. But I think that you don't spend
- 44:23all that money on go Crash and not have him be your game, man.
- 44:26So it's gonna stop 611. Carlos Alcaraz comes in.
- 44:31We talked about him briefly. I've I was pretty hot.
- 44:34I was pretty excited about him earlier in the season.
- 44:36But with like some of the comments from Moyes and this
- 44:38Malek Fonda news and stuff like that, I'm a little anxious on.
- 44:42Yeah, just just because it sounds like that they want to
- 44:44bring in a bunch of players. If they bring in a bunch of
- 44:46players, I don't know where Alcaraz lives.
- 44:49And then it's Sergey's up and he is in the 612 and he goes
- 44:53Coyote. So he still hasn't picked up
- 44:55forward in the six and then he with his and then on the turn
- 44:5961271 he goes finally gets his first form with Liam Dillard.
- 45:03Is it good value there? I think so.
- 45:08I think he's gonna get minutes. Is he gonna get?
- 45:10Is he gonna play every game? No.
- 45:12As your forward one. Are you happy?
- 45:14Wouldn't be, to be honest, would you?
- 45:17No, Yeah, yeah. There's gonna be a lot of games
- 45:19where he doesn't play. There's gonna be a lot of games
- 45:21where he gets subbed in in like the 75th minute and maybe he
- 45:25gets a goal and contributes, but.
- 45:27But he's on your bench. Yeah.
- 45:28So I think now we can take a step back and let's look at
- 45:31these the rest of these drafts as like from construction
- 45:33standpoint, this is a really good spot to do that.
- 45:35Because while at this point the draft, I was kind of chuckling
- 45:38at Sergei for not having a forward.
- 45:41And so this. I actually think he did a pretty
- 45:43good job of recovering, recovering.
- 45:45So it's then he 812, he goes Ian Matson, which is solid defender.
- 45:49I think there's a lot of upside there.
- 45:50Obviously some risk, but is what it is.
- 45:52And then 9/1 he goes Barry, which is again, to me is like a
- 45:57Liam de la type situation, right where it's it's he has the
- 46:03potential to play, but like there's no guarantee he's going
- 46:05to be to get into the starts. And then 1012 Igor Tiago, I
- 46:11think it's he's pretty likely to get a lot of starts.
- 46:13We don't know what the quality of the starts are going to be
- 46:16because A, we haven't seen a ton of him and we haven't seen
- 46:18Brentford and his neat coach, but the amount of money they
- 46:21spend on him, he's pretty likely to get a lot of starts.
- 46:23And what I think is interesting then is he goes Somerville.
- 46:26And then I actually really like this pick, this 1212 full Krog
- 46:29pick, because I think that that actually then suddenly his
- 46:33attacking 4 feels like you can at least start one of them every
- 46:37single week. Like, one of them is going to be
- 46:39playing every single week because Fulcrug is like, what's
- 46:42his name? Antonio left West Ham, San.
- 46:46Antonio. Fulcrag lost like 10 lbs coming
- 46:48to this year, so he looks a lot like more fit than he did and I
- 46:52and he scored a pretty good goal yesterday against, I forget who
- 46:55they're playing against Everton. But he did.
- 46:58It might be a good year you. Know, yeah, but he got full
- 47:00striker because of exactly what you said.
- 47:03Because he needs that, yeah, but it's going to be a lot of
- 47:05exactly. He needs the cover.
- 47:06But I think like that was like like he has two guys that are
- 47:09like very big upside players and I think he has two guys that are
- 47:11probably going to be starting games.
- 47:13So you can always fall back on if the if they're in the lot
- 47:16aren't starting. So I think from a construction
- 47:19standpoint I'm not that mad. At it honestly, from when you're
- 47:21looking at the construction standpoint from the forwards he
- 47:24has any of those forwards that have a star you feel comfortable
- 47:27playing them yeah so. But are you comfortable that
- 47:30they're gonna be able to score points?
- 47:31Are they? Do they even?
- 47:32Produce. I mean, when I say comfortable
- 47:34playing, I mean in the sense that you're OK with them being
- 47:37your your forward one because you don't they're not gonna be
- 47:40done. So I think from production
- 47:44again, this is he didn't get a forward until the 7th round.
- 47:47When were you considering after the forwards he got?
- 47:49I think as long as they're starting from four of those, one
- 47:51of them is bound to be started that game week.
- 47:54I think you're OK with it. You're not like, oh holy shit,
- 47:56what am I going to do? Yeah, it just, it gives me a
- 47:59heartburn just thinking who's your best forward out of those?
- 48:02Forward, But kind of like what I was saying earlier, like who
- 48:04cares who your best forward is? If you think about it like
- 48:06that's my 5th best player, my best, my best, my number, my
- 48:104:00 and 1:00 is my 5th overall best player.
- 48:13So he doesn't need to be that great.
- 48:14He just needs to be like serviceable, you know, and then
- 48:19maybe you strike gold with one of these guys.
- 48:20Maybe Barry gets the starts right away at Everton and all of
- 48:23a sudden you're sitting you're in a really good position.
- 48:25Maybe the lap is all of a sudden starting a lot more and John
- 48:27Pages playing off the left and obviously then you're sitting in
- 48:30a really good position. Yeah.
- 48:31So I you know, I think at the end of the day, I kind of like,
- 48:34I liked the strategy. I think is really risky and
- 48:36like. There's a lot of risk.
- 48:39Yeah, I hear you. There's a lot of upset too.
- 48:41And don't go wrong his his midfield and his defense
- 48:44actually looks really good for pointless so he'll be fine.
- 48:47So then kind of interestingly, Team two, what they they kind of
- 48:51did a thing where they kind of really skewed defenders.
- 48:53And like, D Cooper Koiber is his first defender off the board in
- 48:57the eighth round. And it's just, you know, I think
- 48:59we all are sympathetic to not like, to being like, oh, there's
- 49:03defenders that like, the replacement level of defenders
- 49:05is high. You can get pretty good
- 49:06defenders off waivers and stuff. But like, not having an offender
- 49:09until now. And then the defender you pick
- 49:11is someone who's, like, very much known on quantity and like,
- 49:13isn't necessarily guaranteed to start a bunch of games and
- 49:16whatever. Like, it's, I feel like that is
- 49:18a little bit tight. And then and then, yeah.
- 49:22And then Chris Richards. I like Spence.
- 49:23Spence is good then. And yeah, so then look at any of
- 49:27the other teams that got to you. I think we'll go through, maybe
- 49:29we'll go through Nate's and then Enzo's, then mine and we can
- 49:31kinda just call it. Yeah, I'm not gonna lie.
- 49:35I lie. Nate's team.
- 49:37So he's striker, striker, midfield.
- 49:39He's pick 4. Pick 4.
- 49:41Striker, striker, midfield, defender, striker, defender.
- 49:47And then so to me, there's such a gap of midfielders and you
- 49:50have to start 3. But I do like this.
- 49:54I do like the 789 that you did. That's kind of what you're
- 49:57saying. I think like, yeah, where you
- 49:59got these guys, like great. But I think they the issue, the
- 50:02risk you run here is that like two of these guys, maybe, maybe
- 50:07two of these guys pop off and have good seasons and one of
- 50:10them is a bust, right? Yeah.
- 50:12Then you're you're still scrambling to get like one or
- 50:16two more defenders that are serviceable.
- 50:17You know what I mean? Like I feel like, like the way
- 50:20that this team is constructed, you're going to be letting the
- 50:22midfield unless you just hit you bout 1000.
- 50:27Which you also just touch. Just realized he got 2
- 50:29goalkeepers again. Yeah.
- 50:31Actually, so I was texting with Nate what happened to him, and I
- 50:34think right around around 10 he was driving and drafting and he
- 50:37got pulled over. He got pulled over.
- 50:40I'm. Sorry, Kate.
- 50:43So he put his he put his phone down and I guess got the guy
- 50:45just gave him a warning for being on his phone.
- 50:47But he then after that he was like, OK, I guess I'm just going
- 50:48to auto. Drop.
- 50:49Did he just let the police officer know that he's the
- 50:51defending champion? Is that why you didn't let him
- 50:54slide? Yeah, but must be, must be, must
- 50:56be. I gotta show these kids what to
- 50:58do. Like you see, you're looking at
- 51:00his midfielder, Odingra Weaver and John Arias.
- 51:05Like you said, you said two out of three of them, but then you
- 51:07still. He saw his Enzo Fernandez up
- 51:09there too. Yeah, but I'm saying like you're
- 51:10gonna, you really need what you can.
- 51:13You have to start three. Yeah.
- 51:15So what I'm saying is that like you really need like at least 4
- 51:18serviceable midfielders, 5 probably to really in your team.
- 51:22And I don't know, it's just, it's just a little light, a
- 51:25little light. Maybe in the 10 man league, 12
- 51:27man league stretching it. Yeah.
- 51:30I also think I don't mind the Wamba, Sokka and the 4th.
- 51:33We talked about the Collins pick.
- 51:35I think Branthwaite indigne is interesting.
- 51:38I mean, I just, I just don't know where he's going to get
- 51:41starts. I think Matson was getting
- 51:43starts by the end of season last year.
- 51:44Yeah, but yeah. And I started to judge
- 51:46everything after that because I think that was all.
- 51:48Yeah, so throw away picks at some at some point.
- 51:53I'm just I'm kind of looking at these other ones.
- 51:55I think 6-7 pick two or eight. He was a nice dude in the chat,
- 52:04like in his name right now. But I kind of like his
- 52:06construction. I like Bowen, Gibbs, White,
- 52:08Solanke, Minta there. I think like I get a little, I
- 52:12kind of got lost in his team a little in those mid rounds.
- 52:15It's like 5 to 5:00 to 8:00 mm Hmm 5:00 to 9:00.
- 52:18That's like his. His hipster picks all the way.
- 52:20Yeah, he kind of, I think he's like, he's drinking too much of
- 52:23the the Discord Kool, too much of the Discord Kool-aid do.
- 52:27You guys see his goalkeeper. Peppa.
- 52:30Yeah. Baca But I do like I do like
- 52:34this this Hume guy, there's been a lot of hype about him, but
- 52:37he's also like a very hipstery pick.
- 52:39And I like Belgard, the elect. You were saying that?
- 52:43Just broke off, his girlfriend goes over a brand new one.
- 52:45So a big, big red flags there. Or maybe green flags?
- 52:49Actually, well, maybe you never know.
- 52:50You know what, you know what the breakup thing is, Enzo
- 52:52indicative of it. It might be a hindsight thing,
- 52:54like man, maybe their life, maybe they were going through
- 52:56really tough times before and then when they break up, maybe
- 52:59the breakup's like now it's time to go for them because now it's
- 53:02like they have they don't, they're not in this like toxic
- 53:04relationship anymore. For all we know, maybe, maybe
- 53:06the breakup is like the green light.
- 53:08Yeah, you're hoping for that, not the Enzo Fernandez 1.
- 53:11You know what I mean? It's not like.
- 53:12I was talking about that was the best 1.
- 53:13He broke, he left his wife and started absolutely falling out.
- 53:16Yeah, but then he got back with her because he was a you had
- 53:19his. Reasoning he was still he was
- 53:20falling out after too, so whatever, whatever worked.
- 53:23Let me tell you boys, after my last relationship ended, I had
- 53:26an amazing six months after. Yeah, I think everything.
- 53:29You're just walking around picking.
- 53:30You're finding money on the ground, people are shaking your
- 53:32hand, you're kissing babies, feeling great.
- 53:35It's finding a lot of money, and when I mean money, I'm talking
- 53:39like. OK, that's enough.
- 53:41OK, got it. Enough.
- 53:42Fornication, man, it's a. Family show, OK, yeah, Leap that
- 53:45out, Sergey, but I need that. Fucking family show, man.
- 53:48All right, all right. Enzo's team construction, I
- 53:52think after the sixth round is where things just got a little
- 53:54wonky for you. Enzo, what was the the Jacob
- 53:57Murphy in the 7th? What was happening there?
- 53:59Jacob, I got Jacob Murphy because I panicked.
- 54:06I like, I like Jacob Murphy, though, So it was a name I
- 54:09recognized and a name I liked and a name I've been talking
- 54:11about a lot. And I still think he's going to
- 54:12start the like the first few games of the season at least
- 54:15he's going to try to hold his position.
- 54:16So I like Jacob Murphy and. Can I pick your brain a little
- 54:19bit when it comes to drafting? How many how how long were the
- 54:23how much time do you guys have to make the picks 45?
- 54:25Seconds. 45 seconds. At what point do you start
- 54:30thinking about who you're going to take the round?
- 54:33Before, so around before, you have an idea of how many people
- 54:36you're going to like, the people you want, right?
- 54:37I'm trying to, I'm trying to guess or see where where
- 54:39everyone's landed. And then, yeah.
- 54:42All right. And so go on.
- 54:45How do you panic if you know who you're going to draft or if you
- 54:47have an idea of the players? Because they get picked up
- 54:49before. Yeah, I think he that's what
- 54:51he's saying. I get it, but if you're like
- 54:53second round or whoever it is, you know there are certain
- 54:56people who are going to go for sure, right?
- 54:59For sure, but in this one, honestly there was people
- 55:01getting picked up that I didn't. They got they got reached on.
- 55:04Like I was gonna reach maybe 5 picks before they were reaching
- 55:08a whole fucking round before. All right, that was my question.
- 55:13Just to backtrack real quickly, I do love, I think Rowdy Man is
- 55:167/8 is great value, great value, great value, but OK.
- 55:20But back to Enzo Nikolenko. I need a defender.
- 55:25But like that's that's the defender you wanna go for over.
- 55:30I think like some of the, yeah, I mean.
- 55:33But then I got Christian Romero. I like that one.
- 55:35I like that one. But then I think that was the
- 55:37next round. Then what the hell happened?
- 55:38You're taking a keeper in the tent.
- 55:41What the hell happened there? Who was it that I wanted in this
- 55:44round? There was someone I wanted that
- 55:46got picked up. I think it was Matthea's tell
- 55:49and it came round and I just started panicking.
- 55:52No. Yeah, 911.
- 55:54It's the other way around, yeah. No, no, that's right.
- 55:56No, that's right. Oh tell 1234.
- 55:59And then I'll pick. I'll wait, tell, and then yeah,
- 56:02I know, panicked. I just think that I just for all
- 56:05the listeners out there, do not drop the goalkeeper until like
- 56:12the, I don't even know, the 12th, 13th round, last round.
- 56:16If you're gonna pick one, pick the one that I picked.
- 56:18Yeah, I know. Hope.
- 56:23No, no, they're trying to. They're trying to.
- 56:25They're trying to. Get rid of.
- 56:26Yeah, they're trying to get. Rid of program.
- 56:28Don't fucking listen to Tiko, we don't know what the fuck you
- 56:30talk about trying to pronounce names.
- 56:31All right, keep going. How are you going to say that
- 56:33about our Holy Father? I would have, I mean, I think
- 56:38you could have happily gotten Defender here like Dorgu.
- 56:41I kind of really, I kind of really like, you know, he's
- 56:43like, yeah, I think. You know what, I went, I went
- 56:47back-to-back goalkeepers and I didn't want to go 3 for some
- 56:50reason in my head it. Didn't make sense.
- 56:52Back-to-back defenders. Sorry, yeah, back-to-back
- 56:54defenders. I should have, honestly, you're
- 56:56right. I should have went to either
- 56:57Door Goof or fucking Brantway. I would have fucking referred.
- 57:01Should have gone to Nicole Jackson.
- 57:03I thought that was on there, that was on there, but I was
- 57:05like, it's just I don't know if he's going to be in the bench of
- 57:08Chelsea. Or somewhere or the star on
- 57:11Newcastle. Or on the bench for.
- 57:13Newcastle No, he's not going to be on the bench for Newcastle.
- 57:16What was I going to say? I mean, and then, OK, this one
- 57:21to me is almost more, is almost worse than the Pickford one.
- 57:24Go and run Gravan Bridge 11. Don't, don't, don't ask me, man.
- 57:27Like he's he's he's literally below replacement level.
- 57:30Like you can find better guys off Waveridge than Ryan Gravan
- 57:32Bridge. I don't.
- 57:34There was 2 Arsenal players there and I didn't want them.
- 57:37OK, but there's a whole list like you.
- 57:39No, I'm not. Were you even referencing your
- 57:40rankings that you made? I was no.
- 57:43So I didn't want to bring this up, but now since you did, I
- 57:47will. He has Anthony Robinson ranked
- 57:49ahead of Poro and not by like a little bit significantly ahead
- 57:53of him. Yeah.
- 57:55Yeah, Enzo wasn't looking at his makings, and it's so clear.
- 57:57He wasn't looking. It's very clear, but keep going.
- 58:00So I guess I think like Enzo represents like the, the, you
- 58:04know, like a little Icarus. He's kind of Icarus, yeah.
- 58:06Like flew you out of the sun. But The funny thing is, careful
- 58:10Icarus. He does.
- 58:12He didn't need it. Yeah, he does mock drafts and he
- 58:15practices. I did once.
- 58:17This is my first mock draft. This year and you still like
- 58:19somehow look. At this is my first mock draft.
- 58:21This year it changes. It does change.
- 58:26Chico wouldn't know. Chico.
- 58:28Yeah. I think you guys, we all, we
- 58:29didn't talk about this. I meant to talk about sorry, but
- 58:32Chico famously refuses to mock draft.
- 58:35He just refuses to do it. It's kind of like a super.
- 58:37It's like he's like one of those the Americans who refuse to get
- 58:40their photo taken because I think it's still the soul.
- 58:42He doesn't. He doesn't.
- 58:43He's been not doing MODRA since the very beginning any.
- 58:46Sport. Any sport.
- 58:47But this is the first he don't get wrong.
- 58:50He won a championship last year, we'll give him that, but he
- 58:53didn't win the other the other two years.
- 58:54All right, I was in class. I have a 33% chance of winning
- 58:57it statistically. Speaking 25% because we did have
- 59:01a year before when I won it. I don't what year what are you
- 59:03talking about? We.
- 59:05Can't keep doing this. You guys are lying.
- 59:06They're lying. Stop making sure that you come
- 59:08on. We don't remember who was in
- 59:09that league. I do.
- 59:11I remember I. Remember every single.
- 59:13I don't. We don't know.
- 59:13We're not gonna get into this right now, guys.
- 59:15That's exactly OK OK then Mazzarali.
- 59:19I don't mind Munesi. I don't mind Baleba's another
- 59:22one like why you drafting CDMS? Mourinho you literally you could
- 59:29like you could start like Mourinho.
- 59:30You like Mourinho, Gravin, Birch and Baleba.
- 59:33That's the toughest team I've ever heard in my life, but not
- 59:35in like a cool fantasy way They're.
- 59:37Gonna be good. OK, that'll be good.
- 59:42That's the Enzo's team. If this was your actual team and
- 59:45we were playing the last like at least like 6 or seven of these
- 59:48players, you would, you would. Draft, I would you would drop,
- 59:50I'd probably drop, yeah. Yeah, like before the season
- 59:52starts, I've already. No, not before the season
- 59:54starts. But let's be serious here, all
- 59:56right? It's a mock.
- 59:58It's it's a learning experience and you learned a lot.
- 1:00:00And you learned a lot. I've learned a lot.
- 1:00:02I can tell you right now I will definitely have a queue and I
- 1:00:04will be using Draw Society Plug, the site that I've got the
- 1:00:09membership to help me with this. Do you know how to use the
- 1:00:11queue? Do you know how to use the jobs
- 1:00:15website? Are you able to?
- 1:00:17Do you know how to open? 2 windows at the same time.
- 1:00:20I I've done that, remember I've got a couple.
- 1:00:23Screens. He's going to print the rankings
- 1:00:25so he just go off the market. He's gonna know.
- 1:00:26He's gonna write in my hand. That's what he has.
- 1:00:28His notepad. He's gonna write.
- 1:00:29He's gonna write everything, just go through it.
- 1:00:31By the time he goes up and down this ranking it's like auto
- 1:00:35pick. Oh God.
- 1:00:36OK, so hop over to me. So we left last we left me.
- 1:00:40I was at Lewis Hall. Come back around 712.
- 1:00:44Gabriel. Gabriel's there.
- 1:00:45I really actually like that pick.
- 1:00:47I think he's still a good solid defender.
- 1:00:49I think the injury kind of dampered him down last year and
- 1:00:53he was scored. He was scored some good goals at
- 1:00:54the beginning of the year. I this one.
- 1:00:56I don't love rinders. Excuse me.
- 1:00:59I almost thought about reaching for WE for here and I just felt
- 1:01:02like it was a little bit of a reach and I just felt like
- 1:01:04Ryanair's might have some upside.
- 1:01:05But in hindsight, I maybe should have just bit the bullet and
- 1:01:08reach for my guy. I would have been happy with
- 1:01:10either Arias or WE for both guys that make on the next round,
- 1:01:13which I was kind of kicking myself for.
- 1:01:16But yeah, Dan Byrne was just safe.
- 1:01:18Didn't feel like good about it. Yeah, I love this squealish
- 1:01:20pick. Again, it's just what ifs.
- 1:01:24It's a total what if. Yeah, So what if I I'd rather
- 1:01:29take Grillish than your last pick from 10 on down, which was
- 1:01:32the same round. I don't know why I'm taking shot
- 1:01:34at you, but yeah, the offset of Grillish is much better than
- 1:01:37Pickford, Gavin Burge, Mazuri, Munezi, Bolivia, Marino and
- 1:01:43Lopez. Yeah.
- 1:01:44Yeah, why? Why?
- 1:01:44Why did you mention on my picks right now is he saying?
- 1:01:46Because those are the teams are going over, Yeah, I would take
- 1:01:49Grillish over all those players I named.
- 1:01:51OK. Murphy as well.
- 1:01:54Shut the fuck up. It's a kids show.
- 1:01:58I really like Gusto this year. I think it's more because I
- 1:02:02think there's potential for him to have some really big games.
- 1:02:04I don't know if he's going to be starting all the time and it
- 1:02:06might just be like one of those things where it's a little bit
- 1:02:09of a Chelsea bias, but I've been finding myself taking him in a
- 1:02:11lot of drafts, having ranked higher than most people do.
- 1:02:14This is the pig that fucked me. Last year or the round?
- 1:02:18I know the next one I Keith took.
- 1:02:20Which is my cross? Is that what he wanted?
- 1:02:21I was. Looking for him, and then you
- 1:02:23took him. Yeah, I mean, I think the 12th
- 1:02:26it's kind of easy. I think I maybe could have gone.
- 1:02:28I think I might I might have gone Somerville just as like an
- 1:02:32upside play, but word process solid.
- 1:02:34I'm not at it. Daniel James, I don't know, I
- 1:02:36was kind of having fun. I think it was, you know, who
- 1:02:40knows, Like his his numbers from the championship are pretty damn
- 1:02:42good. I think a lot of people think of
- 1:02:44him as the Man United failure and maybe he's maturing and
- 1:02:48grown up. And then Tegan, what do you
- 1:02:49think about me getting with Estava William in the 14th?
- 1:02:54That was my striker 3. That's amazing, that is.
- 1:02:58I mean, he's probably going to disappoint, but I'm high on him.
- 1:03:04I knew you were I just like I knew Chico was going to be
- 1:03:08judging this draft so. I didn't pick up for Lee.
- 1:03:10One word you said there, Chico, That's true.
- 1:03:12Though he's being factual. No, that's it.
- 1:03:15Getting at the 14 round, the player who could potentially be
- 1:03:17the starting right wing for Chelsea.
- 1:03:20The right wing OK, right. It's the other five players out
- 1:03:24there. No, no, you're right.
- 1:03:25You're you're so sincere all. Right.
- 1:03:27Is this competition? Who's this competition?
- 1:03:30Pedro Netto. No, I'm not talking to you,
- 1:03:32Keith. I know you know.
- 1:03:34Pedro No. All right.
- 1:03:35Palmer Kittens. Plays on the left.
- 1:03:39They can. They can all play there.
- 1:03:40No, it's. Probably going to play on the on
- 1:03:42the right. They can all play there.
- 1:03:43Kittens does not play on the right.
- 1:03:45Kittens plays on the left. He can play there.
- 1:03:47You can see the same. They're the same stuff.
- 1:03:49Yeah, if you're just going to say that.
- 1:03:50But my point being it's the upside is there and the last
- 1:03:55like 3-4 rounds, that's all you're trying to do, draft on
- 1:03:58upside. I am, Although like you said,
- 1:04:02you drafted him to, you know, to pander to me.
- 1:04:04I'm disappointed none of you guys picked up Oscar with 2B's.
- 1:04:07I was close, man, I'm not gonna lie.
- 1:04:10No, Chico, I also I didn't just draft in pander to you.
- 1:04:12I also thought like, well, I have two like amazing starting
- 1:04:14strikers. And so let's say if like 2
- 1:04:17months into the season, it's if SM all of a sudden starts like
- 1:04:20popping off, like I can afford to have him on the bench for a
- 1:04:23while because I have two guys I know I'm going to start week in
- 1:04:25week out. Yeah.
- 1:04:26So that was that was the logic there.
- 1:04:27And then I went Tripier in the 15th just because like
- 1:04:31Livermento is like, has it been the most amazing thing ever?
- 1:04:35And Tripier still there. And I thought he was going to be
- 1:04:37gone. And if he's get starts, I think
- 1:04:39he's pretty startable. So he already.
- 1:04:41Got 4 defenders too so it's not bad, yeah.
- 1:04:44That too. All right, that's the draft
- 1:04:47Chico. I mean between let's do let's
- 1:04:50let's do what's your favorite team between the four, like the
- 1:04:52four of us, me, Enzo, Sergei and we can add name that.
- 1:04:56And then what's what's your favorite team from the non
- 1:04:58non-us as well? All right, so let's let's go
- 1:05:01through by the process of elimination.
- 1:05:03And I know no surprise to you, you would agree with me this
- 1:05:08this time around as. Well, I would I would agree
- 1:05:10with. You this time around.
- 1:05:12I like keys. I just don't like they don't
- 1:05:15need. Let me see.
- 1:05:16Let me look at Nate. I'd like Nate if he didn't have
- 1:05:19two goalkeepers and if he didn't call draft he would have.
- 1:05:22Fuck. Been on it bro.
- 1:05:23I mean that guy. Sorry guys, I worry.
- 1:05:25About his midfield, I worry about his midfield.
- 1:05:27But I'm not worried. I'm not worried about his
- 1:05:29forwards or his defenders. So I would have to go as the
- 1:05:34best 1. Sergei.
- 1:05:36Sergei. Team even with the OK.
- 1:05:39With the lack of strikers, just because when looking at the like
- 1:05:43looking at your your team, Keith and Enzo's, your first round
- 1:05:46pick is not someone who's going to average around 20 points a
- 1:05:48game. So that's probably going to be
- 1:05:49hovering around there like 15 to 20 points.
- 1:05:52And in the midfield, he has strong midfielders.
- 1:05:55You guys know I'm very high on that Nori as a defender, I'm
- 1:05:58high on Barry as a striker. And then on the bottom of his
- 1:06:03list, the players he took a gamble on, there's a lot of
- 1:06:06upset as well. So the strikers is a weak point
- 1:06:09for him. But overall, like he does have
- 1:06:10later on, he has the most upside.
- 1:06:13And then I'll go with your team, Keith beat because I do like the
- 1:06:17the first four or five rounds, the players you have.
- 1:06:19And also you got my boy from Chelsea and Karen Trippier.
- 1:06:23It's it's an amazing gamble, obviously.
- 1:06:26And then it goes Nate and then and and your your teammates.
- 1:06:32You weren't terrible in the first 5-6 rounds.
- 1:06:36I was gonna say you. I agree it's the back.
- 1:06:38Off. Yeah, it's the back off.
- 1:06:40Yeah, it's yeah, we're Anakin and I, I think you also love
- 1:06:43names. I've noticed that by you, like
- 1:06:46in fantasy, you love the big name.
- 1:06:48Name recognition, Yeah. So you go OK, what about from
- 1:06:50the non-us of the the random drafters?
- 1:06:52Who do you? Let me look Did Welbeck get
- 1:06:55drafted? No.
- 1:06:57Doesn't look like a wow. Yeah.
- 1:06:59And that's one of your guys too. So it's yeah.
- 1:07:03I didn't need a striker. OK, see this.
- 1:07:08I think the six drawn pick is good as well, except son, that
- 1:07:12kind of messes it up. I think that, yeah, that.
- 1:07:15Was the auto draft. Was it auto draft?
- 1:07:17Yeah, so he doesn't. I mean, auto draft knows what to
- 1:07:22do sometimes because they're pretty solid.
- 1:07:25Oh, oh, you mean not the entire Was it the entire team or just?
- 1:07:29That I think that guy was an entire.
- 1:07:30Entire team got it all right. I think I like that.
- 1:07:35That teams the most, yeah. Yeah, insult to insult to
- 1:07:39everyone in the draft. Fuck you, let's do another mock,
- 1:07:44I'll be more prepared next time. And then you're running out of
- 1:07:47time. You're running out of time here,
- 1:07:48man. Once we can do a mock next week
- 1:07:51we talk about bought it you. Want to do another mock episode
- 1:07:55of Mock Review? No.
- 1:07:56No, fuck that. I just want to do a mock for
- 1:07:58myself, you know? I don't need you guys.
- 1:07:59I'll do my yeah. You can play, you can do your
- 1:08:01own. Also we can talk really briefly
- 1:08:04news and notes. I don't want to.
- 1:08:05This is going to be a long 1 so I don't want to get too into it,
- 1:08:07but I think the biggest things are what confirm today.
- 1:08:11Here we go, Paulinia to Tottenham from Bayern.
- 1:08:14Yeah. I don't think he's particularly
- 1:08:16relevant from fantasy, but I would maybe upgrade.
- 1:08:19I mean, if I was really trying to get like nuance with it, I'd
- 1:08:21maybe upgrade some of the Tottenham defenders because
- 1:08:23having a really good holding midfielder might just help them
- 1:08:25with clean sheets. And and that maybe I agree if
- 1:08:29you're trying to look for some sort of angle for fantasy.
- 1:08:32Yep, we just spoke about it. Jed Spence looks like he's going
- 1:08:36to be starting the season. Looks like you doggy got injured
- 1:08:41again, so that's another one to look at, yeah.
- 1:08:44Actually, that's a good point too.
- 1:08:45So the doggy, the doggy injury, all of a sudden that that
- 1:08:47becomes a lot more, there's a lot more clarity there for Jed
- 1:08:50Spence. So I, I, I start to like him
- 1:08:52more and more in the later rounds.
- 1:08:53It's just like a late round flyer.
- 1:08:55Keith any fantasy relevance to the player Chelsea got?
- 1:08:59Otto, he think he's going to mostly play backup for Cucarella
- 1:09:03to start. He's really young, he's really
- 1:09:04highly regarded and really exciting, but I just don't
- 1:09:07really see a world where he like takes that position away from
- 1:09:10Cucarella. The other nice thing about him
- 1:09:12is he can play centre back as well.
- 1:09:14So maybe there might be some spot starts in there if if like
- 1:09:17you know, if Colwell needs a break and then we actually have
- 1:09:20a left footer to go in there as opposed to having like that
- 1:09:23issue. So I don't think it's going to
- 1:09:26be like draft relevant, maybe some more stream relevant on the
- 1:09:29line. And then I don't know if you
- 1:09:31guys saw Wolves got a left back David Moeller wolf from it's a
- 1:09:36Norwegian player. Yes, he's from Wolf, Yeah.
- 1:09:38Oh, wow, And you know anything about?
- 1:09:41I don't really know anything about that one.
- 1:09:42Don't. Really know too much about it
- 1:09:43but it's just when Wolves picks up a player I feel like them and
- 1:09:46Brian are the ones where if they pick up a player they could
- 1:09:49start and if they do start they can get points.
- 1:09:51There's always an option. Yeah, so he is replacing at Nori
- 1:09:55and I think the you know, wingbacks have a lot of value
- 1:10:00with the crosses and all that stuff.
- 1:10:01So might be or like last round towards end if you need to pick
- 1:10:04up the Fender, you want to take some risk, might have a good
- 1:10:07potential. Wolves are probably going to be
- 1:10:09bad, but he might still generate points.
- 1:10:12Yeah, I know he was kind of special, but I think what we saw
- 1:10:16at the end of the season with Wolves is that they started to
- 1:10:18keep more clean sheets. So I think could.
- 1:10:22They do that agenda. Yeah, that that continues.
- 1:10:24And yeah, I think there's there might be some value there for
- 1:10:26sure. Echo TK even with Vesak not even
- 1:10:30at Liverpool yet, seems to be dropping like he's.
- 1:10:32I think he's fifth round now isn't he?
- 1:10:34ADP really. He was at 42 on the ADP.
- 1:10:39Really. Awesome, I think.
- 1:10:41That's got ESAC news, right? That's what that's what I mean.
- 1:10:46It's the suck news and then there's news that Manchester
- 1:10:48United are going to go after Benjamin Sesko, so Newcastle has
- 1:10:51some competition there. Nicholas Jack's going to new
- 1:10:54console seems more and more adamant.
- 1:10:57Fucking called it. You did.
- 1:11:00That would be like the would that be the largest drop off
- 1:11:03from season over season from striker to striker?
- 1:11:06No, absolutely not. No.
- 1:11:08I don't think so, but it's also like this is the most movement.
- 1:11:12Maybe for your agenda, Tika? Well, you just know a really
- 1:11:14funny one. Harry Canturi, Charleston, Oh,
- 1:11:19that's pretty bad. That's pretty fucking bad Shit.
- 1:11:24Yeah, that's pretty bad. Yeah, OK.
- 1:11:27And other than that, I mean, just some other just weird
- 1:11:29rumors floating around the Gar Nacho, Chelsea's still there.
- 1:11:34I mean, I think the Cesco thing is going to be the big one and
- 1:11:37it's see who blinks first. I guess United or Newcastle
- 1:11:40there. Simmons.
- 1:11:43Simmons. Yeah, that's still floating
- 1:11:44around. I mean, it kind of lost a little
- 1:11:46bit of noise, but it's still in the works, so who knows, I
- 1:11:51think. OK.
- 1:11:51So really quickly, just without like a ton of info, if we were
- 1:11:54just going to squeeze Cesco and Simmons into drafts, where do
- 1:11:58you think they're going roughly? Gods you get with Cesco is
- 1:12:03another Man United player going in the fucking top 20.
- 1:12:07Potentially, yeah. Potentially.
- 1:12:09I think I'm more excited with him at Newcastle, right?
- 1:12:13Who? Cesco going to Newcastle?
- 1:12:14Yeah, you, you would be, but it doesn't look that way.
- 1:12:16It looks like my you know is about.
- 1:12:18More likely than more in the driver's seat.
- 1:12:20I'm, I'm looking at the mock graph that we have on on the
- 1:12:23screen on the third round. There are some players that I
- 1:12:25would probably rather gamble with Cesco than the players that
- 1:12:28were selected in the third round just based off of upside.
- 1:12:31Oh yeah, definitely. I think round. 4th I think I'd
- 1:12:33rather take a linga with swanky Netto strikers.
- 1:12:37I think when you're getting into like, well, when you're getting
- 1:12:40into like like I would maybe go Cesco over Chris Wood.
- 1:12:45Maybe if you look at my position, yeah, but I'm just
- 1:12:48talking about just the player overall.
- 1:12:50Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think from a positional
- 1:12:52standpoint, like I might go Cesco over Brendan Johnson from
- 1:12:55a. Easily point no.
- 1:12:56I'd easily go over easily. Easily, Yeah.
- 1:12:59OK. So then I think that's that's
- 1:13:01kind of the line right there and he's going, he's going 511.
- 1:13:05I'll send you guys a link to his highlights, you'll see.
- 1:13:10Xavi Simmons is a little bit more of a question mark I think,
- 1:13:13but I I would probably put him in that same bracket, third,
- 1:13:15fourth round, fourth round, 4th, 5th.
- 1:13:19Our position is a little bit unknown.
- 1:13:20Maybe I mean you think earlier? I think no later.
- 1:13:25Later, yeah, I think he'd be the.
- 1:13:26I think he'd be the starting off the left for Chelsea.
- 1:13:30If we spend that much money on Zabi Simmons, we.
- 1:13:32Spend so much money on a lot of players and I think there's
- 1:13:34players that you already have that like Pedro, Nell Giao,
- 1:13:37Pedro, like those ones, Cole Palmer can play there.
- 1:13:40You can have slot in other players that you have kittens
- 1:13:43you've also got there that you've paid money for.
- 1:13:46That's that's, it's just so much.
- 1:13:48I think he has a high pedigree, so I think he'd be, he'd have
- 1:13:51that. I think he's.
- 1:13:52So many clubs, so there must be a reason, you know what I mean?
- 1:13:56Has he? I mean.
- 1:13:59He Bayern Munich. PSG No, he hasn't been to Bayern
- 1:14:02Munich, he has been to. The PSG to Leipzig and then
- 1:14:05Leipzig. Yeah.
- 1:14:07And then? There's a loan to Leipzig and
- 1:14:08then you got the permanent transfer.
- 1:14:11PSG as much as you think. I think the PS, I think the PSG
- 1:14:15thing is more like they were buying players, but there's no
- 1:14:17room for them on this PSG team. Like luckily Akatika did the
- 1:14:19same thing. No one's crushing his if he's
- 1:14:22problematic or his issues, but. It's also like the rotation
- 1:14:25thing. They have so many wingers with a
- 1:14:28chest. So even with the Brazilian kid,
- 1:14:30you know, he's also like Esteval.
- 1:14:33Esteval. Yep, Esteval, Sergey, Mudrick
- 1:14:37and the chat. What about him?
- 1:14:40He's talking. Jesus.
- 1:14:41Oh yeah, He's not around. Is that anything?
- 1:14:46We're done then, right, guys? Yeah.
- 1:14:47What? What done all?
- 1:14:48Right. Hopefully this was helpful.
- 1:14:49I don't know all right, this has been episode 100 of dropped off
- 1:14:55sides. My name's Keith.
- 1:14:56I'm with Tico Enzo. Thanks for being here listen to
- 1:15:00us follow us at dropped off sides 100 episodes down 100 more
- 1:15:03to go see you guys very soon we're going to be trying to bust
- 1:15:07out some more content before the start of the season, so stay
- 1:15:12tuned I'm. Just going to post because I
- 1:15:14want Sergei to put my face on Will Chamberlain's picture.
- 1:15:16The one he's holding up 100. I just saw our drafts.
- 1:15:22I don't, I don't like the fact that our 12 man league is being
- 1:15:26drafted before the 10 man league.
- 1:15:28I think we do that every year. I know.
- 1:15:30I think I'm watching this before.
- 1:15:32If you could do the other way around.
- 1:15:33Why? Because I am one of those
- 1:15:37people. If I have a draft and then I
- 1:15:38have another draft, my first draft impacts my second draft.
- 1:15:42Let's say if I'm between two players, I'm like, I have him on
- 1:15:44this team. I don't want to mess around with
- 1:15:45it and I wanted my even though last year, yeah.
- 1:15:50Wait, wait wait. Because if that's the case, then
- 1:15:52you you, you should be saying that your better team should be
- 1:15:55the first round, the 1st. No, I think he, I think it
- 1:15:57impacts it negatively. You're saying Tika, huh?
- 1:16:00The better team should be the first round if if you're
- 1:16:02thinking. About it, so you won a
- 1:16:03championship in the league that you said that it hurt you
- 1:16:05because you're looking at other players so and the other one you
- 1:16:08came in 7th. Well, one of them most all.
- 1:16:12I fell into my lap also. What are your picks again?
- 1:16:17I have. In the 12 man league. 6th You're
- 1:16:216th in there. Yeah, and then Watson and you
- 1:16:23got second, Fourth. I thought you had second.
- 1:16:26No, third. I'm sorry, I have third.
- 1:16:28No, you have second no. Remember, it's it's Tom, Chris.
- 1:16:33That's right, that's right. That's right.
- 1:16:35That's right. I was second and then I got
- 1:16:37well. Chris said he wanted to give me
- 1:16:39a second finger. I was like, give it to me girl,
- 1:16:40I'll take you. This is our this is our rankings
- 1:16:42in our ten man league. So what are you your third?
- 1:16:48We're not seeing your screen so. You're not seeing my.
- 1:16:51You're not seeing it. Well, we're still seeing the
- 1:16:52draft board. Oh, OK, well.
- 1:16:55I am 9th in the in the in the 10 man league.
- 1:16:58I I know, yeah, I am ninth in the 10 man league.
- 1:17:01I'm third in the 12 man league. So, but and also to go back to
- 1:17:09what you were saying, the first draft should be the better team
- 1:17:11is I every year pick players that we talked about just to see
- 1:17:16for the sake of the. Thing.
- 1:17:17Are you saying that you don't take the first one as serious as
- 1:17:23the second? Yes, don't take it seriously.
- 1:17:27I kind of you're saying I feel like there's a level of just
- 1:17:30you, you do 1 and then not that you let your energy out, but
- 1:17:34sometimes it's hard to then you start thinking, Oh, I dropped
- 1:17:37you don't go best play anything. I already dropped this guy to
- 1:17:39everyone dropping again, you start like having all these
- 1:17:41questions about that. Exactly.
- 1:17:42Well, I also like because you're like, all right, if I drop
- 1:17:45Mosala and the first one and then the second one, do I like
- 1:17:48bank on the first team round pick if something goes down, if
- 1:17:50he gets injured, then both of my teams get, you know, screwed
- 1:17:52over well. Because it's because it's 10 and
- 1:17:5512. Maybe it should differentiate
- 1:17:57regardless. It does, but at some points it
- 1:18:00does matter. And then I do take the 10 man
- 1:18:02league, 10 man league more serious because I know everyone,
- 1:18:07you know, we have more of like a friend, friend relationship with
- 1:18:10them. It's the older league and yeah,
- 1:18:14so. Yeah, I get it.
- 1:18:18Remember the first year I I told Sergei I didn't do the draft to
- 1:18:22make sure to take hold on in the second round.
- 1:18:24I remember now he did the draft for that one.
- 1:18:27I remember, yeah. I guess why, why was the whole
- 1:18:32time I was hearing those noises, I thought maybe Keef was doing
- 1:18:35laundry again. So I was like, all right, I
- 1:18:36don't want to like. It was at the microphone by my
- 1:18:39crotch. I cannot tell you how annoying
- 1:18:41that sound was the whole. Time I can't control that guy
- 1:18:45you want me to do. I think you can't control it.
- 1:18:49I think that's the point you did he's.
- 1:18:51Making a Dick joke. Thank you to go the tiny weenies
- 1:18:59all over the place. But.
- 1:19:03It's. All right, what?
- 1:19:07I gotta go. And then there was like dumping
- 1:19:10getting harder. Why don't you just put it on the
- 1:19:11table? Because I'm on my bed.
- 1:19:17All right. Bye, guys.
- 1:19:19I gotta go catch you guys. I know it's not a real dildo,
- 1:19:21right? It doesn't belong there, yes.
- 1:19:23Look at that. It's got a line everything.
- 1:19:25Yeah, Windows. 3A little matching, like matching like
- 1:19:30Dutch Mcduff son. Oh yeah, yeah.
- 1:19:34Yeah, does sound better when it's as close.
- 1:19:35Is it really? It does.
- 1:19:36It actually does sound better. I was wondering.
- 1:19:38Why Ryan Dines is like as close to his face.
- 1:19:40Yeah, exactly. I think so.
- 1:19:42Does it sound better? Does it sound?
- 1:19:44Better, we sound more like a man.
