GW6: Merseyside Mayhem & Man Utd Magic I Ep: 106 · Draft Offsides Podcast

0:00
Hello and welcome to episode 106 of Dropped Offsides.
0:03
I'm with Tequin Enzo. My name is Keith.
0:06
We're going to go through it all, but first follow us and
0:10
like this video and do all those things, please, because we are
0:12
trying to I don't know, we're trying to actually we're.
0:16
Not trying to do, we're having fun.
0:18
But yeah, but yeah, it'd be cool.
0:19
It makes us feel like something, some sort of way.
0:22
OK, kicking it off. Game Week 5 in the books After a
0:28
historic defensive showing last week, this week we only saw two
0:32
clean sheets happen. So I think with that being said
0:36
though, still a lot of defenders in the top players.
0:38
Yeah, they're scoring a lot of points and it's a lot of ghost
0:43
points too. Lot of goes points.
0:45
I think once those like middle tier players teams play against
0:48
like the top end teams where they're going to put out like
0:50
two or three goals in them, I think the balance will shift
0:53
back to the way it was more last year.
0:54
It doesn't even look that way though, does it?
0:56
Look, Even the three newly promoted teams, they're like
1:00
they're doing the business. Remember last year it took them
1:02
forever to even win a game. The the annoying.
1:05
Man, like just have there's like viable players in the new the
1:08
pro teams. I felt like the last few years
1:09
it's been like you just didn't even want to touch it wasn't
1:11
worth like it was like a change you got.
1:12
To find one diamond rough, there's a couple.
1:14
But now it's like there's, I think there's like at least one
1:16
or two guys at every team that's in the top 20, you know, Jade,
1:18
Anthony, Anton, Stash. It's a door you.
1:21
Know, yeah. Scores every home game.
1:25
Yeah, yeah. There's definitely guys in
1:27
there. So yeah, so kind of interesting
1:32
kind of fun. It's fun to see a variance too.
1:34
It's fun to see defense be so dominant one week and then this
1:37
week, you know, just to to that not to be the case.
1:40
That being said, that it wasn't an incredibly high scoring week.
1:42
I think the highest scoring player was like a Wobi with 26.
1:45
26 points yeah, it wasn't it wasn't a high no, it.
1:47
Wasn't crazy, but still. I mean, good.
1:52
It was interesting to see Europe and how that affected these
1:54
teams. Teams like Arsenal, you know,
1:57
obviously gotten a lot of players.
1:58
You saw a lot of rotation. I think every team, every team
2:02
that played in Europe, every team.
2:03
Yes, every team that played in Europe even like if Liverpool
2:06
didn't have an issue though obviously they rotated, but it
2:09
was like their first team still like.
2:11
What I mean kind of, but like they they definitely rotated.
2:14
Yeah, they had. What is that and what's on the
2:16
bench? Did I see that?
2:17
Right, I think words was in. I saw words playing.
2:20
No, he played, he came, then he come off the.
2:21
Bench. He came off the bench.
2:22
He came off the bench they had. 235,000,000 sitting on the
2:26
bench. But I mean, you think about
2:28
Arsenal like they didn't start as a.
2:30
Cool, that's Saka, but Saka wasn't even a team in.
2:33
Europe, Yeah, Yeah, he wasn't. Even team Yeah.
2:36
But I think every team had some to that.
2:38
So it was interesting to see. And I think that the I think all
2:41
these teams are realizing you just have bigger squads.
2:43
I think that's part of why this this transfer window was so
2:45
crazy is because these teams are all being like, oh, in order to
2:48
really compete, the squads seem to get bigger.
2:50
So we're seeing that like, look at Tottenham, like Column One
2:53
hasn't even started yet. We had dead legs.
2:55
Yeah, Slovakia's apparently practicing back on grass.
2:58
You have a Charleston there. Like all of a sudden there's a
3:00
there's a ton of names at all these teams.
3:03
That's true. So so I think like in the past
3:05
I've been so I've been so fixated.
3:07
I'm like, oh, is this guy going to start every game?
3:09
But now then you look like an eka TK where the guys who took
3:12
the risk on him in the maybe the third round are stoked right now
3:16
he has four goals in five games. I mean, I think there's just
3:20
going to be more and more of that as you go and you're just
3:22
going to have to navigate it more and it's going to require a
3:24
little more like in, in week, midweek management.
3:27
Semenyo was what, second round early 3rd wasn't he?
3:30
No, he was like early 2nd, right?
3:34
No, he was right on the borderline of the first.
3:36
First, he was. No, he was middle of second.
3:38
Sergei got him and he Sergei hit the 4th or 5th pick so like
3:40
right in the middle of second but.
3:42
His I think his ADP though is more like probably.
3:45
Yeah, but still, he's from. I'm gonna look, I'm just
3:47
sitting. You got.
3:48
You got that guy second round and he's pointing out first
3:50
round numbers. Yes.
3:53
Another one like he. Put up first.
3:54
He put up first round numbers last year.
3:56
I just think people were having a hard time believing it.
3:57
Yeah. And then what?
3:59
Poro? Also late, Like what?
4:02
Fourth round? Fifth round?
4:05
Yeah, he's putting up numbers. He is he like, is he totally?
4:08
I mean, he's not like, is he a top 20 guy right now?
4:11
Even Pedro Poro. He had over 50 points last week,
4:15
so after this week. Yeah, yeah, it's fun.
4:18
I mean, it's good to see early Holland back on top, though.
4:20
It's been good. It's how how, how a whole year
4:25
changes your attitude. Stay humble.
4:27
Stay humble. It's amazing that Trevor
4:31
Chalabaugh scored 17 points and somehow isn't the top player,
4:34
though. Did you notice that?
4:36
Because he was the number one player and he scored 17 points
4:39
and now he's the number three player.
4:41
You know what I mean? Yeah.
4:42
Did you guys see that crazy start of how long that he's off
4:44
to his worst start in as the EPL career He.
4:47
Is that his from goals scored? Goals scored.
4:50
Yeah, four goals in the 1st. 4 Four goals and 5 Didn't he have
4:55
like 9 in his first season? He had like 9:00 and 4:00 so.
4:58
He was just going that first season was was ridiculous
5:01
though, Like it was just the Brian no I.
5:05
I think the last year was more ridiculous.
5:07
He had, he started off the year one goal, hat trick, Catterick
5:10
brace. That's right.
5:11
So in the first four he had nine goals.
5:12
And then he went. Then he just went dead for a
5:14
while because man, see, he's like shit in the bed.
5:16
Yeah. Yeah.
5:18
All right, let's get into this. We have recaps here, though I
5:21
think we agreed not to. Recaps.
5:23
Well, I didn't do all the games. Okay, perfect.
5:26
So I'll just blow through this. That Liverpool 2, Everton one
5:29
Grabber Bridge was the star of the show and he might be on
5:31
waivers for a lot of people because he definitely hasn't
5:33
been super fantasy relevant in the past.
5:35
But when you look at his numbers now.
5:37
He's had two double. Digits looking pretty good I'm
5:40
I'm I'm a feeling he's going to be taking he's going to be
5:42
swooped up in every league that he's not in right now he's
5:44
rostered oh he's rostered 86% it's just our league that.
5:47
People. Well no, I think he saw a game
5:48
picked up after this weekend mate.
5:50
Oh, you think already? Yeah, Yeah.
5:52
It does feel like Liverpool's getting more assists from the
5:54
midfielders instead of the attacking players like last year
5:57
like the Masala Diaz. So right now you feel like
5:59
grabbing Bitch sold the slide and the Cal start doing what
6:01
sort of assisting more? There's B, they're super
6:03
involved for sure. It's new system.
6:05
That kind of makes sense. I mean, he has to what he's
6:07
played in four, he's played in four games and three of them are
6:09
double digits. So yeah, he should be, should be
6:13
rostered. What else was kind of
6:16
interesting in this game. And die 19.75 points with an
6:19
assist continues to look really super good.
6:22
What, three goal goals in assists in four games, 4 double
6:24
digit games in a row. They play West Ham next, which
6:28
is exciting. They played Palace after that,
6:29
which is the last exciting, yeah.
6:31
I don't think Palace is a game that you're looking forward to
6:34
as a as a fantasy manager going against them, just with the
6:37
defense, how good it is. Yeah.
6:39
And we talked about SEKTK scoring again.
6:44
I think we also got to mention Sala got another goal
6:46
involvement, but still his point totals are slow.
6:48
Yeah. Yeah.
6:50
You know, it's really interesting.
6:51
I don't. It's not, but like I will say
6:54
though, in the Champions League midweek he looked phenomenal.
6:56
Yeah, and you know what, he's going to have games like.
6:59
I think the expect, obviously the expectation would be he was
7:02
scoring 15 plus points every game like it did last season,
7:05
but. I mean, that was kind of my
7:07
expectation. Yeah.
7:07
Yeah, I think that. I think that was the
7:09
expectation. But I think, I think, I think
7:11
we've been saying it for years. We always say with certain
7:13
players like Father Tom's catching up you.
7:17
Know, I mean, I, I don't even know if it's Father Time quite
7:19
yet. I think it's just there's so
7:20
much change in that team, you know what I mean?
7:23
I think it's more that I feel like if if he was in like his
7:26
position is shifted and like all these things have shifted and I
7:28
think they're moving away from him being the the star piece.
7:32
He's obviously still an essential piece, but I think
7:34
there's just the times that are changing more so than he's like
7:37
on a decline because he still looks great when he's involved.
7:40
It's just he's not as. Involved don't looks great and
7:41
as long as he gets two goal involvements in the next game
7:44
I'll be happy. Yeah, we got to talk.
7:47
We'll talk about that at the end because I lost a bet to Tico,
7:49
which was not fun. OK.
7:52
Other than that, Everton players had some solid showings.
7:57
I think really hosted for like 10.
7:59
Yeah. Yeah.
8:00
I mean, every time they scrappy, I mean, they scored a goal, they
8:03
made it. They made it scary until the
8:05
end, you know? Yeah.
8:06
Never pulled nervous. Evan not bad team, man.
8:09
They're a good team. They've shown that they're
8:10
they're solid team. OK, Wolves one leads 3 stats, 24
8:15
points gold assists, 9 goes points put every minute this
8:19
season to 20 plus games. Yeah, I mean he's he was
8:23
definitely like one of the gems off waivers that first week and
8:27
if you got him, you're great. I think we call that Lewin was
8:30
in our waivers last week as like if you're desperate, pick him
8:33
up. He ended up getting 19.75
8:37
points. Wolves continue to struggle.
8:39
I thought this was going to be the game where they turned it
8:40
around, but now I think there's just no hope.
8:42
I think it is really interesting their their their win backs are
8:46
like continuing to generate a ton of points though.
8:49
And it doesn't feel great. But there's something there I
8:51
think like it's a Hugo Bueno and and I think it's the other guy's
8:54
name is Bueno too. I think there's the Bueno on
8:56
either side. Bueno.
8:58
Bueno. They're the only, they're the
8:59
only team not to win a game yet. Yeah.
9:02
It's pretty rough. It's not looking good.
9:04
OK Fulham 3 Bradford one will be finally rewarded you if you
9:08
stayed with them. Yeah, I think this is a perfect
9:10
example of why you got to you got to keep playing your stars.
9:13
You know, like every every player goes through like these,
9:16
like goals or bad patches, but you know, quality shows shines
9:20
through. And Wilson 19.25 points.
9:27
He scored a goal. I think, I think Iwobi and
9:30
Wilson both doing good. I think the biggest take away
9:32
there for me is like as a Kevin owner you're not that excited
9:34
about. That no, but they paid so much
9:37
money for that kid you expected him to play.
9:39
You still play. I mean, they got Chuck with
9:40
Maisie too. Like I just like he's not going
9:43
to be like thrown in as as freely maybe.
9:45
I mean, it's the second game, like Kevin came out and he
9:48
played his first game in the second game.
9:50
So it's a good sign even like, you know, he's in the man.
9:53
Sancho, yeah, he's he's actually seeing, you know, some playing
9:56
time. And I think it's only a matter
9:57
of time before he gets because Crack's rotation, he's a
10:00
starter. I agree, but like as far as
10:03
like, you know, if they, if Wilson doesn't score this game,
10:06
you can maybe argue like, oh, maybe it's time to throw Kevin
10:08
in there. But like, I think with Wilson
10:09
getting a goal, it's like it's going to be hard to not start
10:12
Wilson. I like Wilson, I've always have
10:14
good player. Yeah, On chess.
10:17
All right, Brighton 2 Spurs to kudos 20 points to assists 1 was
10:23
definitely like a fan Jacks assists, which was like cross
10:25
off Ben Heckey. Richard Allison 18.5 points
10:29
scored a scrappy goal. That's that's what he loves to
10:31
do. Minta 16 points goal.
10:35
He's a tad two goal involvement for the last two games.
10:37
He had a really nice assist to Matonga last week.
10:40
Minta's kind of been a surprise package.
10:41
I like Minta. I like the.
10:43
Way I'm really happy. I'm really excited that I got
10:45
him. He's like I was looking at the
10:48
draft society like rest of season rankings and they haven't
10:50
had him like ranked 20th rest of the season.
10:53
So like, yeah. One of Ryan's he.
10:54
Was going in like the 4th rounds yeah now he's great pretty
10:58
exciting guy and and yeah brighten up two O Spurs came
11:02
back scored two goals Zabi Simmons on the bench comes in on
11:07
in the 10 year old looked creative had a really good shot
11:09
stopped by the Brighton keeper kind of betted around the corner
11:15
and I think this is another example of just like rotation
11:17
huh Yep I don't think Xavi Simmons like played poorly in
11:19
Europe no I think it was just they're trying you know every
11:22
every team's trying to really like not overdo it all right
11:27
then it was the mess the absolute disaster game United 2
11:29
Chelsea one me and me and Tico had made a bat like 4 weeks
11:33
before the season started right yeah before the.
11:34
Season stopped. And it was that they were going
11:37
to score less than 6 1/2 points by this point in the season.
11:40
Five games. Five games and even though they
11:43
scored seven and I lost the bat, I think my argument still
11:47
stands. They fucking suck.
11:48
They. Fucking suck.
11:49
They fucking suck. Like it has nothing to do.
11:51
Like yes, you won the bat. I'm going to pay you that right
11:54
after this, but you were they still suck.
11:56
And like, that was the whole point of the bat.
11:59
How many? Even though you wanted a
12:00
technicality. It's not a technicality.
12:02
I won. No technicality.
12:04
No, there's a technicality. I mean, they got a rat.
12:06
They. Sanchez.
12:09
So what? Custom Bureau?
12:11
45 minutes. He went from hero to 0 real
12:13
quick. No, but I, I.
12:16
Think it was so poetic being against Man United versus
12:19
Chelsea. It wasn't really.
12:21
It was a very poetic like way. For you for.
12:24
You. No, it came down to like.
12:26
It came down to that, yeah. It came down to the team.
12:28
It was very funny. It just, it was very funny that
12:29
it worked that way. And honestly, like Sanchez,
12:33
like, fucked up. So many people's like, fantasy
12:35
teams because of that. Yeah, he did.
12:37
Palmer came up. A step out came up.
12:39
Yeah, he literally literally, yeah, that's so true.
12:42
He literally destroyed everyone who had Chelsea players because
12:45
every single Chelsea attacking player got something awful other
12:47
than and then Palmer got injured was like useless.
12:49
What Palmer was injured. Yeah, yeah, true.
12:51
Which might not have been injured if that's.
12:54
True but the manager said he wasn't even healthy to play.
12:57
Like why would you? Why would you play him then?
12:59
Dumbest. Fucking thing I know.
13:02
OK, question for you guys. Reese James has started two
13:04
games. In both those games he's gone 15
13:06
plus points. Is he kind of like the new Savio
13:10
or Sashdoku like you? You keep on your bench when he
13:12
plays, it's like a must start. Well, yeah, as long as long as
13:15
he's. Generating he's, he's like, he's
13:17
generating so many points. As long as he's just being
13:19
rotated and it's not an injury because, well, I'm just waiting
13:22
for it. Like not not.
13:24
Yeah. But I think that's the point.
13:25
I think the point is they can, they can rotate him.
13:27
Yeah. You know, I think the point is
13:28
that they're trying to like, make sure he really doesn't
13:31
overdo it. I mean, the first year we played
13:34
this fantasy football, this is our fourth year, fourth year.
13:38
So 3, three, 3 1/2 years ago, Reshamps was going into the
13:41
second round, this guy was like one of the top, top players.
13:44
He averaged 13.3 points a game the prior year.
13:47
So for him, you know, if he's playing and he plays the whole
13:51
9, he doesn't get hurt, he's going to generate points.
13:54
Oh my God. It is is a question for her.
13:57
If Reese James was never injured and he stayed healthy, would he
14:00
be the England right back over Trent?
14:03
Without a doubt, just just for the just only just because of
14:07
the defensive ability like like I think obviously Trent probably
14:10
from an attacking Samuel is a better player, but that position
14:14
you need to be able to do both and Trent has always struggled
14:16
to do both. Ends Not only would reshapes be
14:18
the starting right back for England, he would also be the
14:20
starting right back for Real Madrid.
14:24
That's good. Yeah, so for those who didn't
14:27
watch, Sanchez got a red card in the 1st 5 minutes maybe.
14:30
Then Chelsea made some wild Subs and just like absolute horrible
14:34
Man United. Man United scored two quick
14:36
goals and then it was just not looking good and from Fernandez
14:40
and Casamiro scored and then Casamiro got a second yellow.
14:43
It was a. And then it was game on again
14:45
and Chelsea got one in the got one in like the 65th and
14:48
couldn't get a second. That was a soft yellow second
14:50
yellow man. It was soft, but the second
14:53
you're in transition like that and you put your hands on a guy
14:55
like on the shoulders like that, I think you're just, you're
14:57
putting yourself at risk. If tactical fouls are always a
14:59
yellow, tactical fouls are always a.
15:01
Yeah, I agree. And it's like, even if that was
15:03
like kind of a soft tactical foul, it's like you, why would
15:05
you put yourself in that position when you have a yellow?
15:09
Yeah, Chalo has scored, so I think that's his second goal of
15:11
the season. And he's now like he has so many
15:14
points. I'm like, really surprised.
15:17
Overall, yeah, that's crazy. Pleasantly surprised.
15:19
Pleasantly, of course, but yeah, I mean more pleasantly if you I
15:22
had them anywhere. But yeah, yeah, yeah.
15:23
What do you do? But yeah, I think all the
15:25
Chelsea players, you can't, I wouldn't overreact to them
15:28
getting sobbed or underperforming.
15:30
It was just a one of those weird games.
15:31
Yeah, I wouldn't overreact to like any of the United player.
15:35
His goal, like points totals to the whole game, was just like
15:37
the whole game got messed up in the first round.
15:39
I feel bad for Palmer people to drop them in the first round.
15:43
1st all out what? Are you going to do?
15:45
Yeah. First of all, Harley sucks.
15:47
It's just injuries man. I mean, I honestly think that
15:49
that's why like sometimes that first pick is just I mean if if
15:54
it goes bad, it's bad. Like look at Sokka too.
15:56
Like Tikka, where'd you get Soka?
15:57
Where'd you get the second pick? 3rd No third. 3rd who Someone
16:00
someone Holland? Holland second, honestly.
16:02
I was hoping to get Holland because I think he was.
16:05
He's the most surefire player, but you take whoever's job to
16:09
you. Yeah, but I'm just like, even
16:11
soccer, like that's it, you know, you spent a lot on them.
16:13
I'd like to see a couple on him and he hasn't really played.
16:16
And how many of? Them I'm sorry, but but just on
16:19
the soccer point, Matt and they got Mado akin as afterwards.
16:22
So that rotation. Is, yeah, fucked.
16:23
Up, yeah. I'd like to see how many of the
16:26
players in the first top ten are in the top 20.
16:30
Score. Holland.
16:33
I'm just I'm not saying none of them all, I'm just saying I'm
16:35
interested to see how many. Minutes.
16:36
Maybe we we can do that really quickly.
16:38
Yeah, Holland. Kudos, Semenyo.
16:40
Kudos wasn't top 20. Kudos wasn't top.
16:43
I mean draft twice. But Joff, Yeah.
16:45
Top ten that are in the top 20 at least.
16:47
Because then you still get Fernandez.
16:49
Yeah, it's Holland. And then, yeah, Bruno Fernandez.
16:52
And then like there's like, yeah, like, like, I don't like
16:55
maybe I think Jon Pedro by the end, but by the time people were
16:57
drafting, he was going top 12. He was going like late.
17:01
He was going late second by the time people.
17:02
Actually, I think Pedro went second in our league in Simenio
17:05
1/3 Sergey. Simenio maybe, but but in
17:08
general, Simenio was going second one.
17:09
Yeah, all right. Last game of the week, Arsenal
17:11
won, City won Holland with a great breakaway goal.
17:15
Rinder has got an assist there. I think that was due for him.
17:17
He kind of had that coming. I think he's looked solid.
17:19
To Johnny. Reflected and then after they
17:22
scored so early, Arsenal has dominated the ball.
17:25
Dominated. Isaiah Saka came off the bench
17:28
at half time, right? Or was it shortly after half
17:30
time anyways, Half time. And then, yeah, they continue to
17:33
dominate the ball. And Saka, I didn't think he did
17:37
that much. He looked good, though.
17:38
He looked good the beginning of the second off.
17:41
That's where he had most of his most of his joy.
17:44
But he still. Was why was Halon taking off on
17:47
the 76th? Was he hurt or just?
17:49
No, he was. I mean it was so weird that Pep
17:53
parked the bus. I've never seen it.
17:55
I'm not that he's going to say the same thing.
17:57
He parked the bus. What?
17:59
Because it's the worst team Pep has ever had.
18:01
Damn, he's doing, he's doing like what's his name?
18:06
Who talks about Jose? Mourinho, Jose, I'll see.
18:11
I think the counter attack goal, is there anything scary than
18:14
seeing how long like on the counter attack falls?
18:16
Towards you. Jesus Christ, and you try to
18:18
bargain and just bounce off the second.
18:20
Body I'll coming at you. Because so like, Johnny Reinos
18:23
is running and his Doku's on his left and Holland's on his right
18:26
and you're just thinking no way. There's like there's no way he's
18:27
not going to pass it to you have to like, you have to, you have
18:31
to he like shifted his body like he was going the other way.
18:33
And like, even like, you know, he's still going to pass to
18:35
Holland. Honestly if I was a defender I
18:36
would just rant towards holla. These were everyone else that's.
18:39
Kind of what I was thinking been like like OK Doku is not known
18:42
for his end product like force that pass force to Doku but.
18:45
Doku's playing fucking amazing. Amazing.
18:48
He's like. Really good as well, yeah.
18:49
He's like he's finally clicked his game into into gear.
18:53
Yeah, that end piece. So.
18:56
Yeah, OK, a couple of random ones.
18:58
Jane Anthony Burnley, 23.75 points, 14.75 ghost points.
19:02
Is that right? Yeah.
19:04
That's crazy. I don't believe that.
19:06
That's right. That's I love how.
19:07
There's a static key for his bats and so.
19:10
It might be I'm I'm. Like I'm right to doubt like
19:12
half the time. It might be wait, wait, wait.
19:14
Is he a striker or is he a miss? If he's a striker, it's nine
19:17
points he gets for a goal, so he takes forward.
19:20
Yeah, that's what I said. So it's 14.75 ghost points.
19:24
Nico Williams, 22 points, you got a goal.
19:27
I think he's definitely pretty viable in Ange Ball.
19:31
I think if you're going to pick an offender on Forest, like God
19:35
bless you, but if you're going to do it, that's the one you
19:38
know. And then Tyreek Mitchell with a
19:42
good little volley to to win that game for Crystal Palace, he
19:44
had 21.25 points, 11.25 ghost points, huh?
19:48
Congrats. Denzel.
19:50
Was that right? Yeah.
19:52
I did the math. You were right.
19:53
Mathen is Mathen. So what?
19:55
Where did he? Where was he getting points?
19:56
How does he get 14% so shots? Key pass three shots on target
20:01
at six points 4 successful dribbles that's four more points
20:04
tackle 1 crosses interception yeah, so he.
20:07
Went across the board. I like this guy.
20:10
You know, that's a good spread. The game, that's a good spread.
20:13
What's his ownership? It's got like 70% your.
20:17
Words. Nightmare has them and
20:20
percentage wise, let's see he is 86% rostered.
20:26
Yeah, it makes sense. Makes sense.
20:29
OK, those are our recaps. That was nice.
20:30
I was quick. I like that.
20:32
OK, waiver wire. So Enzo helped out with these
20:34
because I was travelling this weekend so.
20:36
So you're now you're gonna blame me if they.
20:38
Yeah, because if they don't work, I can I, I have I'm it's
20:42
not my fault. So I'll also read them.
20:45
But then you can just talk about them from Leeds, Calvert Lewin,
20:47
I think he was, he was less he was like 8% owned last week.
20:51
Now he's bumped up to 23% owned. A tough matchup in Bournemouth
20:55
and Spurs, but Burnley, West Ham are favorable and a desperate AD
20:59
depending on matchup. If they start, who's the next
21:01
two to the next two matchups? Is it?
21:04
Is it Bournemouth? Spurs next.
21:05
It's Bournemouth and Spurs 1st and then Burnley, West Ham.
21:08
And then West Ham after, yeah, yeah, those are tough.
21:12
I think that might be 1 where you maybe you could bet you if
21:15
you could pick them up now and just if you have the ability to
21:18
bench them for a game or two. I think that I think that's when
21:20
you want to play, you want to really tie your match up.
21:22
That's how you should have got Tico.
21:23
DCL I don't think Tico's the DCL guy.
21:27
This is not his style. BBC OK next Maddie Cash 53%
21:32
owned, so a little bit higher than we usually put on here,
21:35
but. Come on in.
21:37
I'm I. Did it for a reason, 7.9 points
21:41
per game. Fullman Burnley next.
21:44
If he's available he can do a job for you.
21:45
So you're saying like the games that he has coming up?
21:48
His favorite? Bible.
21:50
Fair enough. I like that.
21:53
Who's this Muke Mukeli? How do you pronounce this guy's
21:56
name? Mukeli.
21:57
Nordi Mukeli, I don't know what he's French I.
22:00
Have no fucking idea and look that far where you may find his
22:03
blood type and everything. Yeah, it's a French.
22:05
He came from Levikuzen. There you go. 6/2.
22:09
You what? You're always about size bro.
22:13
Size matters, especially for centerbacks.
22:16
Yeah, I mean, he's just been a good lockdown defender for
22:18
Sunderland. I mean, Sunderland has been kind
22:20
of the surprise fantasy package, I guess, right?
22:22
Like he's the one they've the one that.
22:23
Are they the ones? Are they are they the highest
22:25
ones? I thought is it?
22:27
Is it them higher than than Leeds?
22:31
I'm not sure if they're higher, I just I met from a.
22:33
Fantasy standpoint. You know, let's look that I will
22:36
tell you Leeds is 12th, Sunderland is not 12th.
22:42
Sunderland is seventh God. Damn.
22:44
I mean, that's one point difference.
22:46
Regardless. Yeah, I mean, Sunderland has as
22:49
many. Same amount of points as
22:49
Chelsea. Two wins, 2 draws, a loss, same
22:52
record. But they played West Ham, they
22:55
played Burnley, who actually they lost to Bransford, they won
22:58
Palace, they tied so. And palace tie is a good
23:01
freaking result. That has a good result.
23:03
But but I think that was the first game after Eze, so kind
23:05
of. Yeah, I think the good result is
23:09
going to Villa going a man down like what, before half time.
23:13
Yeah, it's still getting a draw. That's the result that you want
23:17
to talk about also. And like that, that's like
23:19
defender, that's like defender dreams if you can, if you're
23:22
because you know defender is going to be incredibly busy and
23:24
then if he stills manages to keep a clean sheet, he's me
23:27
getting points. OK, who's this guy?
23:29
Hartman on Burnley? He's a defender also if I
23:34
remember correctly. Double check but he's got 8.8
23:37
points per game. Started and played the full all
23:39
the night all the games for 9 minutes.
23:42
Double digit in two games in a row.
23:45
Has C next, but after that Villa leads and Wolves.
23:49
Yeah, but Villa's scoring goals now or the.
23:51
Goal they scored a goal and it was scoring a goal.
23:53
Catch and. As the defender.
23:55
And Ollie Watkins should have scored, but he didn't.
23:59
Bum did. He should have scored.
24:00
He had some opportunities. I didn't catch the game.
24:01
Yeah, by the end. Oh man, that's brutal.
24:06
All right, so that's another interesting one.
24:08
I like this next one. Palace Taichi Kamata, 43% owned.
24:11
He started 3 of of the last three games.
24:14
Well, he's averaging 11 points per game in those in those
24:17
three. Yeah, no gold involvements or
24:19
ghost. That's great.
24:22
And who do they play next? I didn't.
24:24
I think they have. They have a tough game.
24:25
I think they have Liverpool next.
24:28
Yes they do. They do have no points.
24:30
So that's a toughy but but Liverpool has proven also that
24:33
they they are not like, it's not like they're like locking
24:38
lockdown defense. No, they've been conceding
24:39
goals. I think it's a good sign of
24:41
Liverpool still winning but you've also got to be there's a
24:44
little bit of a hindrance. They have to wait till last five
24:46
minutes of the game. Yeah, but what happens if the
24:48
stoppage time is only like 1 minute?
24:50
I think that like, I think in seasons past, when you've seen
24:53
teams do this, at, at some point, the, the, the point falls
24:57
the other way, you know, like at some point it just doesn't quite
25:00
happen, you know? Yeah, because I think what this
25:02
has been doing has been papering over some issues that Liverpool
25:05
probably has, you know, and then they've just been relying on the
25:08
quality of their guys to get these wins.
25:10
So at some point that's going to give.
25:12
But five out of five is still 5 out of five.
25:14
Yeah, it's incredible. They're what?
25:15
They're already five points ahead.
25:18
The next best team I think. I think 2nd place is Arsenal
25:22
with 10 points. And Tottenham and 510 points
25:24
also. Yeah, and don't forget about
25:27
Bournemouth and 4th at 10 points.
25:28
That's correct. All right.
25:29
The last two I added in Harry Wilson, 46% owned, full on, huge
25:34
game after a surprise start. There's a lot of fresh faces in
25:38
this team, especially in those positions.
25:40
But if he keeps, you know, if he keeps starting games, he's worth
25:43
rostering. Yeah, and at the very least
25:45
agree. And then another one, he's kind
25:48
of one of my pet guys. I was like, he's always in and
25:50
out of my team with Adam Wharton, 39% Crystal Palace.
25:54
I don't think he has the most massive ceiling, but I think he
25:55
already has at least two goal involvements and he has total
25:58
the potential to deliver, sell mid 4-5 numbers and he's almost
26:01
guaranteed to start every game. He's healthy.
26:03
So he's probably like a, you know, if you're like a savvy
26:05
owner, you're an owner that has some guys that are like not
26:08
guaranteed starts. He might be the one that you you
26:10
pick up just as like a as a stability player, you know a.
26:13
Creative 6. Creative six?
26:16
Yeah. Would you call that a six in the
26:18
house? Maybe a?
26:23
6.9. 6.96 point 10 actually right that that's a good he.
26:30
Did he did I was I was making a 60. 9 joke.
26:32
I don't know, I was trying to. I was trying.
26:34
To know that's the same. Joke OK, moving on.
26:38
OK, game week 6 Looking ahead to game week six, Saturday's games
26:42
Brentford versus United. United struggled against bad
26:46
teams. You know they look not great
26:48
against Burnley. But Bwenbo's coming back home,
26:52
so he's gonna score. Yes, Are you avoiding Bedford
26:55
defenders of this game? Not.
26:56
Still, did you know that United has the highest non penalty
26:59
expected XG. No, didn't know that.
27:04
Is that true? Interesting.
27:05
Yeah. Or maybe second highest, but
27:07
highest or second highest, Yeah, like they're they're up there
27:10
with like not how they. Shows you how much they suck.
27:13
Well, I I also like, I'm not like, you know, someone who who
27:17
owns Coyote. I'm not like if I have other, if
27:19
I have better options, I might not go there.
27:20
I just think that they've been, I don't know, maybe though.
27:24
You know, it's so weird. Yeah, I saw it.
27:26
I saw it like, I didn't like that game.
27:27
I learned nothing from that game against Chelsea.
27:29
They. They have moments like, again,
27:31
it's usually the first 10-12 minutes where they actually look
27:35
like they're playing well and then they but.
27:37
Are those moments just quality from the players?
27:39
Quality is the moments of like, that's all it is.
27:42
That's moments, yeah. Go on, do you want to know what
27:45
I learned from the United game? Go on, what?
27:47
Did you learn from the United game?
27:48
I have an extra $20 now. I hate you.
27:53
OK. Next question, Kevin Shade, Igor
27:56
Tiago, are those are those automatic starts I.
28:01
Think you guys, I think they can stop because my unite.
28:03
How many goals has United learned?
28:04
They've learned a few goals haven't.
28:05
They united, their goal difference is negative.
28:10
Too. Yeah, so they've laying goals.
28:11
I don't, I don't know. Yeah, I'm not sure what that
28:13
means exactly. Well, that could be that.
28:15
They just haven't, you know, scored a lot.
28:17
They've let in eight goals. In five games.
28:20
It's a lot of goals mate, that's not great.
28:23
OK, so maybe the shot is the Igor Tiago's you're good with
28:26
obviously like a dams guard. I feel like you're I feel like
28:28
no matter who you play, that's the difference.
28:31
You start, start. I wanted to shout out to
28:35
Lichten, Gorgu and Henry Maguire were all incredibly solid in the
28:38
in the game against Chelsea. McGuire.
28:40
The concern, the biggest concern for me on United is Diallo now,
28:45
right? Well, he played the 10 role,
28:47
didn't he? That's where he played, yeah,
28:49
but he he barely got any points. Yeah, he barely got any points.
28:52
I think he's barely on that wing man.
28:55
I just don't know. I don't think that.
28:56
I don't think this system suits him in any.
28:58
Position the only team I don't. Think is either of the
29:01
positions. And there's only one team that
29:02
suits Amarin's system. That was what?
29:05
Where'd he come from? Betty Sporting Sporting Lisbon.
29:09
Sporting Lisbon. The only team he works on one.
29:11
Well, no, I mean, I think it was more like he was.
29:14
He was a big fish in a small pond, so I think he just made it
29:16
work. You know what?
29:17
I mean, and also helped out. He had the best striker in the
29:19
world, you know. Oh my God, are.
29:22
We are we really going to go into that right now?
29:25
Did how many goals in it? So how many goals in here?
29:27
I didn't even know that was AI didn't even know that was a
29:29
trophy. Is this is this a new trophy
29:31
that they award doing to your flat balloon?
29:33
Dorset I. Don't know if it I can't
29:35
remember if it's new or not so I only cared about the balloon Dor
29:37
but I know isn't there like a goalkeeper and a you know it has
29:40
to be. There's a yeah.
29:42
Yeah, and a midfielder. But I mean, you got to give it
29:44
to him. He scored an obscene amount of
29:46
goals, but you're also playing against like, like.
29:47
That's what I'm trying to tell you.
29:49
Bayern Munich. Harry Kane.
29:51
Lewandowski. Literally any other striker.
29:53
Yeah, that's true. You suck.
29:55
It's you suck. Yeah, I mean, yeah.
29:59
I mean, that's that's why these awards are so silly.
30:01
Yeah, I don't. It's starting to get right.
30:03
Now I'm not sitting here being like sucking the Balandor was
30:06
like the most. It's starting either now.
30:08
When I watch the Balandor, it feels like I'm watching the
30:10
boxing match that wasn't. No, the Balandor, like I'm
30:14
sorry, but what's his name? What's his name then?
30:17
Bella. He was like benched the first
30:18
half of the season. He didn't.
30:19
He barely played in the first half of the of the PSG season.
30:22
Yes, he had an amazing second-half of the season after
30:24
Christmas. I also, yeah, I also don't
30:26
understand why Lamine Yamal finished second when he wasn't
30:29
the best player on his own team. He wasn't the best player on his
30:31
own team. That's ridiculous.
30:32
He's wearing my Real Madrid jersey to celebrate Yamal now
30:35
winning it. He just.
30:37
Lamine Yamal just has great PR. Yep, great PR.
30:41
OK, moving on next game Palace versus Liverpool can palace
30:45
David and Goliath them like they've they beat them in the
30:47
Community Shield. Palace hasn't lost a game in 17
30:52
straight. But you think Mark Gahey?
30:54
They won 2 finals in that time. No, I hear you.
30:55
But you think Mark Gahey lets them score?
30:59
No. What you mean he he's got,
31:01
that's his new clock. He's going there in the summer.
31:05
Stupid. The the only problem is it's
31:07
going to be hard seeing where the goals are going to be coming
31:09
for Palace. Oh, I I would think that would
31:13
be just be a 00. I'm.
31:15
Thinking maternal man, what are you talking about?
31:17
Or like a set piece? Maybe so.
31:18
Who's going to? Who's going to pass in the ball?
31:20
Mada. Mark He.
31:22
He'll be. He's going to do it all.
31:23
He'll be freaking poetic if Mark he scores a goal against
31:25
Liverpool do. You think he celebrates him?
31:27
Scores the goal against? That would be the real test.
31:30
Dude, he's he's shown the best, most professionalism.
31:32
So I won the score partly because I earned him also, but.
31:37
Did you see that one player that scored a goal against the team
31:40
that had loaned them out? Oh, and then they chased them.
31:43
Out and they're chasing he's really.
31:45
Really. And they chased that I.
31:46
Don't understand what he got. I'm mad at him.
31:48
You loaned him out. It's your own fault.
31:50
Yeah, what are you going to do? I mean, there's the dude has to
31:52
think from thing out for himself there in the same way that Mike
31:55
A he's going. To be well, you know he's not
31:56
going back to that club at the end.
31:59
Of the season well, that's true because they got really yeah,
32:02
sure. I think you can completely start
32:04
all palace offenders though. I just think that they've been
32:06
so good. Like I, I don't think you got to
32:08
get cute here with anything. No no dual would be great for
32:11
any fantaciona. Well, even if even if Palace
32:15
gives up one goal, I think they're still going to produce a
32:17
lot of points because. Of this, yeah, I mean look at
32:19
the how their. District clearances, yeah.
32:20
Yeah, look at the way they're banging the door against against
32:23
Everton, who's defensive to release all those, all those
32:25
offenders are super busy. On the right, defender of the
32:28
season Richards. Yeah, it's OK.
32:32
All the whole palace, all the palace offenders.
32:34
But yeah, love to see an American thrive.
32:38
Is he really American? Yeah, he's an American.
32:40
No, he's a he's an American. He's, he's not like Anton.
32:43
He's not, he's not one of the like, he's not, he's not an.
32:46
Important. You know, let's not call fake
32:48
Americans now there. Oh, I'm sorry.
32:51
OK, Salah, he keeps getting the golden assists, but terrible
32:55
ghosts. The alarm bells are kind of
32:58
going off, but I think there's enough positive there.
33:00
OK, Ecka, TK continues to score. How many games do we see him
33:03
starting real estate rest of the season with like Esac getting up
33:05
to speed, anything. Like it's like them.
33:07
What did he say even come on this game?
33:09
I don't think he did, did he? In the last game against
33:13
Everton. Yeah, I don't think he did.
33:14
I think he started the Champions League game, so maybe he starts
33:17
Champions League game again and then.
33:20
We'll see, but there's not there's not another Champions
33:22
League game. There is this week.
33:24
No, there's no games in midweek. No, it's not like before where
33:27
it's home and away. Oh.
33:30
Yeah. Oh sorry, it's my first time in
33:33
a while. It's OK, and it's like they'd
33:36
come out of this game. They did.
33:37
Oh, you did this later? Yeah.
33:39
But you'll be do you think ISA will come play on the left,
33:43
deeper on the left before for Newcastle?
33:45
So the EFL Cup, they they have a game on tomorrow.
33:50
So they have a game on Tuesday the 23rd rushed Southampton.
33:54
You play Yeah. You think E you think E sacs
33:57
relegated to to Kaitika, Akatika is going to be the number.
34:02
The guy I, I read an interesting quote from, what's his name?
34:07
Ernie Slott. Arnie Slott saying that like
34:08
he's like, yeah, like they're both, if they're both on fire, I
34:12
I don't have any issue starting on both, but I also don't really
34:14
think that's super realistic. So.
34:16
Yeah. It doesn't make no sense.
34:18
Well, you could. I think you could though.
34:20
He could. He he was saying he could.
34:22
That's what you're saying. I mean can I could take a play
34:24
on the left? I do not have the problem
34:26
solved. Yeah, pretty suck up.
34:27
Top like I think Jack will look good too.
34:29
I don't know. I mean there's just so many
34:30
weapons. So how what do you think?
34:32
How many? So we're we're five games in.
34:34
So there's what there's there's 3333.
34:37
How many more games do you think I could take a starts?
34:40
I think 12:00 No, I say 12. I think, you know, that depends
34:46
if he plays on the wing. If we're talking just striker, I
34:48
think like 5 to 8 at most. I agree with that.
34:51
I was thinking like. Overall, I think shows are like
34:53
15. Oh, I think, I think he's like,
34:55
I think he's so I think he's been doing it now, right?
34:57
$10 bet whoever's closest plus one minus or.
35:00
Plus 8/12/15. No, I don't want 8.
35:05
You said. 8 So you said you said 8 You got to go with your gut.
35:08
I said if he's just I just as a striker as a nine, but overall
35:13
look at. Look at that's not bad.
35:14
Let's just let's just note this and then we can, we can be like.
35:17
Take notes, Sergei. Your brother's an idiot.
35:20
OK, Next City versus Burnley. I think it's just all systems go
35:24
city wise. Burnley is interesting.
35:27
I think that's that striker you you have to start him Anthony,
35:31
but umm just because he's been continuing to score and there's
35:33
always a chance that he's going to hit him on the counter.
35:35
He looks pretty good. I think who did they play?
35:37
Who did they play 2 weeks ago? Umm, shoot, I'm holding a lot
35:42
is. It Villa, yeah, sort of.
35:43
Burnley, right? Yeah, Burnley.
35:46
I'm also predicting this will be the first game Savio get to
35:49
start. I I had the exact same thought.
35:53
Oberdoku they played. So well, but it's pet.
35:57
Yeah, but I can say I think there's just going to be one of
35:59
those games where Bradley's going to really park the bus and
36:01
they're gonna want like AI think Doku Saviokin will start on the
36:06
weekend. One less guy, one less guy in
36:07
the midfield. You think I could see that?
36:09
I could see that being the case. Silver Rinders could take a use
36:11
a break. They played every game.
36:13
So I just played every game. Yeah.
36:14
So the reason I was bringing up, I was asking is they played
36:17
Liverpool and they like Brantley lost 10 to Liverpool.
36:19
Oh, yeah, lost. They had a few good.
36:21
They had a pretty few pretty good opportunities too.
36:23
And I just I mean like in the case like that there is there is
36:26
a case to play like that maybe that that striker.
36:31
Yeah, I mean, Berlin has been competitive in all of their
36:34
games. They don't.
36:34
When they lost against Liverpool, against United, they
36:36
had that come back and then at 90 something minute, United
36:39
scored. The only one who blew them out
36:41
is Tottenham, but you know, Tottenham does that to teams.
36:43
Our house thank. You OK?
36:46
Speaking of time, Nexus, Spurs, Wolves.
36:48
I'm scared of this game. You think it's why?
36:51
Because. You think it's cowards because?
36:53
Wolves beat us all the time. I think you guys showed a lot of
36:59
character to come back from 2O down against Brighton last week.
37:02
I'd like to see SIM Simmons in the 10 role in this game.
37:06
Yeah, I mean, I thought he looked pretty good when he came
37:08
on there. I I think that you're gonna,
37:10
you're excited about all your Spurs attackers, you know, like
37:13
I think this is a chance for Col.
37:14
Milani to play. I think.
37:16
Yeah, it's cool. I think, though, I think the
37:18
only interesting positions for Wolves are the wingbacks.
37:20
We talked about Hugo Bueno and the other guy.
37:22
I forgot his name, but yeah, I think usually you should look
37:25
into those guys because like, even if Yugo Bueno came on at
37:28
halftime in the last game and scored like 12 points.
37:31
Fit. It's a game for Papi Salto V
37:32
starts so you lice it up in that midfield.
37:35
Too much energy for them. Yeah.
37:38
You think so? I think so.
37:39
Well, I think, I think, I think all those guys.
37:41
I think, I think you run whoever you run whoever starts for, for,
37:44
for Spurs. Yeah, even though I mean, I
37:46
think it will be competitive though, like to Tico's point,
37:48
like they've they've they've held good teams.
37:50
Oh, no, man, never mind. It's Wolves.
37:52
Sorry, I thought we're still talking about apparently.
37:53
Yeah, I know. Yeah, it's run everyone.
37:55
They're going to crash. OK, stop it.
37:58
Chelsea versus like a knock on wood though another said that
38:01
chinks Chelsea versus Brighton Reese James.
38:04
I already asked this the new Savio Doku.
38:05
I think you just I think you have to start Reese James when
38:07
he plays Yeah, I agree. And like I don't think anyone's
38:09
I don't think you're going to be seen Reese James on waivers or
38:11
anything right. No, maybe people got impatient,
38:13
but if he's there for you should be stagnant yeah, I think
38:17
Brighton has been somewhat leaky of a team so yeah, so but the.
38:25
Midfielder attack is their counter.
38:27
Attack is nasty with Minta. And what was the gun?
38:30
Yamil. Yamil Ayari.
38:33
Ayari. Ayari.
38:35
Yeah, they, but I think with I think with the thing that drives
38:38
me crazy with Brighton is like Ruder Gruder Yari.
38:42
It's like you just don't like one of them's gonna have a good
38:44
game. The other two aren't.
38:45
Yeah. So it's it's I think the ones
38:47
that are the ones that are just the sure things are Minta
38:51
Matoma, and then I think those are the set and forgets.
38:53
The other ones are kind of like. You'd probably rather have
38:55
someone else. Russian ruler in it.
38:58
Yeah, especially against the Chelsea team that's been fairly
39:01
good. Like I've, you know, like, yeah,
39:04
it's not like they've been like totally like I think they've
39:05
been, they've totally been conceding some.
39:08
Who's your second goalkeeper? He came on.
39:11
It's Jorgensen. Jorgensen.
39:13
I like Jorgensen. I remember him.
39:16
Yeah, he'll, he'll, he'll be fine.
39:18
But what's the Sanchez is going to be able to start like in this
39:22
game? Sanchez because.
39:24
Yeah, because we have a game midweek and it's in the EFL Cup,
39:27
so that I count towards this red one game suspension and because
39:29
it because there was a nonviolent foul, it's not a
39:33
three-game suspension, it's just a one game.
39:34
It counts for the League Cup I thought, only counts for the
39:37
league games. Counts for the League Cup too.
39:39
League games in the League Cup. Yeah, I know, a little hack.
39:45
He did all right. We got to get through all these.
39:47
When did he there mate, keep going.
39:48
OK, Lee's with Bournemouth, 4th place Bournemouth I might say.
39:54
The question is, so Lee's got to win against Wolves this week.
39:56
Do you start like the Brooks and the Adam Scott's and like of the
39:59
Bournemouth? Like, do you feel like they're
40:01
like in play? No, I don't think so.
40:04
I don't think they get more than six points.
40:07
I just feel like against like these these types of teams, like
40:10
against like a Leeds, I was like, that's like to me where
40:12
like if you were going to start and this would be the right
40:14
time. No, this is where you definitely
40:16
start. Evan Nelson, obviously.
40:19
Yeah. Who's the other guy on the left
40:24
for Bournemouth you saw all the attack on?
40:26
Blair Tavernier climber and those types of guys.
40:29
OK. So yeah, like I have, I have
40:32
Evan Nielsen and Voltemaud in Sal in the league and I I kind
40:35
of only want to start two of those guys and I'll probably
40:37
bench Voltemon for Evan Nielsen just for the.
40:39
Match playing against Arsenal. Playing against Arsenal, yeah, I
40:43
think there's just a better matchup.
40:44
I think on the lead side you're really looking at like Stash.
40:46
Stash is probably the only one that's like you're really be
40:49
really like stoked about, especially as Bournemouth just
40:51
suffocates teams. Yeah, they're like they're
40:53
they're very like, it's not like it's like they're an easy team
40:56
to play against. The football actually suffocate
40:58
you Good. Yeah.
41:00
Oh yeah. Forrest versus Sunderland.
41:02
A question for you guys. Who do you Which of these two
41:04
teams do you think will have the highest scoring player in this
41:06
match? But we'll have the highest
41:08
scoring player, Sunderland. You think Sunderland?
41:11
Yeah. Over.
41:12
Yeah, I think so. Yeah, they.
41:14
They don't look good. Do you watch that last game?
41:17
I didn't. I didn't catch.
41:17
I didn't catch all of it. I saw so a lot of it.
41:19
He lost his his his back to his old ways.
41:23
Me no Ange. Oh, Ange.
41:27
Back to his old ways, you know, take that gyro back to Greece.
41:30
Man, man, this is a year for that man after what he did for
41:36
you. Sorry, I know, right?
41:38
I. Appreciate him.
41:39
No respect. I have respect for him.
41:41
I feel like he needs to adjust his play.
41:44
You can't. Be 1.
41:44
I mentioned that I was looking at Trey Hume Humez scoring.
41:50
So he's the 15th ranked defender and he's the 30th ranked player
41:53
overall. Just like the state of the game
41:55
right now with defenders. Like I thought that was kind of
41:57
wild. You can be the 15th ranked
41:58
player, 15th ranked defender and 30th ranked player.
42:02
Yeah, it's, it's tight. Right now, but this next one is
42:05
is the crazy one. What?
42:06
Zaka with another double digit game?
42:08
Three in a row? Yeah, Who would have thought?
42:10
Who would have thought? I think he's just, yeah.
42:13
I mean, I think their schedule has been somewhat favorable.
42:16
So I think that lends itself a skill to get those.
42:18
Kind of points three games in a row is is pretty good.
42:22
Yeah, I mean, they played Villa Palace, Brentford.
42:26
And he's playing the 6th. Role.
42:29
Am I right playing the? Same.
42:30
Burnley, West Ham. I mean, Sunderland is Sunderland
42:33
is at a very easy schedule, like it's West Ham, Burnley,
42:38
Brentford, Palace, Villa. So well, it it.
42:43
It sounded. Is that forest?
42:45
Palace is. All actually and then they have
42:47
3 easy games now they have forest United wolves after that
42:50
so take a walk secretly paying attention.
42:53
I feel like I'm trying to get a ride that he's.
42:54
Looking at his phone right now, he's he's reading stuff.
42:56
No, phone's not even around me. Yeah, it's on the course.
42:59
But yeah, Zaca has been a little bit of a surprise package worth.
43:02
Worth keeping an eye on there for sure.
43:05
OK, moving on to Sunday Villa versus Pholon.
43:08
Villa just seems broken, man. When are they firing their
43:12
manager? I think, I think it needs to
43:14
happen. I mean, I think it's probably
43:16
tough to conceive of doing it, but I just, I like to, I mean, I
43:20
think you just got to at some point you got to be like, wow,
43:22
that they've just like they've kind of lost.
43:24
There's just some sort of disconnect.
43:25
Did they lose you? I think the way that no, but I
43:27
just like the way that the season ended last year.
43:30
I think they just kind of like lost their mojo with the whole
43:32
like remember there was like a that disallowed or something
43:34
happened and they should have won a game and gotten into
43:37
Europe, but they didn't. Yeah, yeah, this happened.
43:40
Screwed up, yeah. I think Emery's time might
43:42
always be up, but we'll see. It's just hard.
43:44
It's hard to imagine firing him after how how well he's done.
43:47
Yeah. And and they're finally in
43:48
Europe. And that's that's his, that's
43:51
his competition. Bread and butter.
43:53
I mean to to be fair, they also haven't given him a lot of like
43:56
reinforcements, no. No, not this season especially
43:58
they they actually kind of screwed up.
44:00
Yeah, OK. Speaking of Watkins, is he a buy
44:02
low or is he like a do not touch you can?
44:05
You can try to buy low, but that's a still a risk the way
44:08
they're playing. I mean, what could you, I mean,
44:10
we, we talked about this last week too, but like every week
44:12
it's, it's, it seems like less and less like like Tico saying
44:14
James Ward cross, like maybe it sounds crazy now, maybe not.
44:17
That sounds crazy now as it was a week ago.
44:19
It's it's one of those things where like if you have a mind
44:21
your team, you kind of have to play him right, but.
44:24
Is it a headache that you want? Exactly.
44:27
And what let's what's the feeling?
44:31
He's going to get a goal every like 5 games.
44:34
He's not going to. He's like 2020.
44:36
Goals are like tennis and he's not going to contribute.
44:39
Unless he's been a, he's been a top 20 player the last like 3
44:41
years and like what's shifted? I mean, I mean, how much is
44:44
really? Shifting.
44:44
I know, I know. You're I think it's a mentality
44:48
cannabis. You know, the craziest thing
44:49
about this guy is that he he came out the years where he came
44:54
in and hit that amazing goal as a sub.
44:57
You think that would have carried over during the season
44:58
because that's what happens to a lot of players, but it was the
45:00
opposite. He kind of fell off the Cliff.
45:01
That was like he peaked he. Probably just did.
45:04
He was probably just tired, but I just think that I think he's a
45:08
good enough player. I think it's more the team and
45:10
like either Emery's going to figure this out or Emery's going
45:13
to get sacked. One of those two things is going
45:15
to happen, right? Like guarantee either and we and
45:17
next two games every figure is out after you get sacked.
45:20
I mean, I don't know, probably not, but I'm just saying one of
45:22
those things that's going to happen in the next 5 games I
45:25
think. And then at that point, I think
45:27
he'll, I think Watkins will be scoring goals.
45:30
Should we just all pull three man's hat instead of the three
45:33
that we sing and get 5? So it's got to be Ameren Paw
45:37
Emery. I think Potter goes.
45:40
I think Potter goes first, I think.
45:42
Ameren should go first, but he ain't going to.
45:45
I think that Chelsea game, I think if they if they don't,
45:48
Chelsea doesn't get a rad and that game does as it should
45:50
have, which would have been a comfortable Chelsea win and I
45:53
ran. Debatable.
45:53
On this conversation, not. About not debating.
45:57
Debating. Not debatable.
45:59
OK, OK, Continuing on this game full on, Yeah, we talked about a
46:02
well-being just showing what he can do.
46:03
And that's why you don't bench your big guns, even if they're
46:05
sucking, except for maybe Watkins.
46:08
Would you bench Watkins? Yeah, he's maybe.
46:11
Are you? Is he getting to the point where
46:12
if you can, if you can afford to bench him, you would?
46:15
If you're a walk in zone and you're shopping him around and
46:17
you're. Trying to OK, like, OK, let's
46:18
put it this way. If you have, if you have like
46:20
1-1 spot in your attack and you're you're looking at walk
46:24
insurance, you're looking at Anthony from Burnley and Anthony
46:26
from Burnley playing against City, right?
46:30
Yeah. Or Watkins playing it's Fulham.
46:33
Which one are you gonna which one?
46:35
Which one are you gonna do Tika? Would you play Watkins or would
46:37
you play Anthony the hot hand or would you go with Watkins?
46:39
You I. Wouldn't play, I wouldn't play.
46:42
I wouldn't play Watkins. You wouldn't.
46:43
He he, he'd switch it. It's pretty nice.
46:46
It's so hard. It's just so hard to think about
46:47
doing that. But yeah, I get it.
46:51
Like his best game this year was 8 point to five points was the
46:54
first game guy played 90 minutes at one point.
46:57
He has only two shots on gold this year in five games.
47:00
Two shots on goal. Oh.
47:01
My God. That's horrible, Yeah.
47:04
There's just gotta you gotta just let go.
47:06
It feels like Kunya's played less games and he's got more
47:09
points than Watkins. Oh yeah, I'm sure.
47:11
And then a lot of players have played less games than more
47:13
points. I think there's players that are
47:14
probably more points than Watkins in one game than he has
47:17
in all his combined. That's true.
47:21
OK. We talked about it also, but
47:23
Wilby and Wilson both kind of being really involved, I think
47:27
means that Kevin Watch lasts a little bit longer.
47:29
A little bit longer, unfortunately.
47:30
If you pick him up, I would hold on to him.
47:32
Yeah, I don't think he's. Just a matter of time until he
47:35
breaks for about. Yeah, I think he's good.
47:38
OK, Newcastle, Arsenal low scoring game.
47:41
It's at, it's at Saint James's Park, just in.
47:45
It's in. Newcastle.
47:47
Newcastle hasn't conceded. Newcastle hasn't conceded away
47:50
from home but hasn't scored either.
47:52
I don't know if they'll, and I think that's somewhat
47:54
systematic, like they play like a little bit different away from
47:57
home Golden's, But I wonder if Gordon's back this game.
48:02
Yeah, it'll be interesting to see how they play with Gordon
48:04
back, I guess. Is that I'm more worried about
48:07
Langer than anything else. Yeah, I think that's a big cause
48:13
for concern, the fact that he hasn't been starting.
48:15
But you could see with Gordon back, you could see him and him
48:18
slotting it on the right and then just speed demons on the
48:21
other side of like old Fultiman. I know you and I know you said
48:24
that you you're going to bench Fultiman.
48:25
I still play Fultiman this game. You would, I would because he's
48:30
they're going to sit back, but Fultiman's going to be the first
48:32
ones forward. I think I just have a wealth of
48:35
wealth of options. Oh, look at this track and a
48:37
fortune, OK? Well, he has the best team in
48:38
the lead that's. Fine.
48:39
OK, Aragon, let's go, man. Who's your other options?
48:44
I mean, I have Salah. I have that's not brilliant
48:47
option crash Evan Evan Nielsen not.
48:48
In the top 20, but. And then I have, I have really
48:51
good midfielders, so I'm starting 5 minutes.
48:53
So I'm playing a three, I'm playing a 352.
48:55
Is 5 being sure playing this game?
48:58
No. But no concussion.
49:01
Yeah. God, he's out.
49:01
He's out, Yeah. That being said, though, yeah,
49:05
And I get your point. Like I think Voldemort, even
49:07
though he didn't score a lot of points in this last game, looked
49:09
really solid, looked really solid.
49:10
I think he has really good league to play.
49:12
His league to play is incredible.
49:13
Like I'm I'm like very impressed with him as a player and I think
49:17
he's adjusted. He's adjusted much better than I
49:19
thought. He went to the Premier League,
49:20
so it'll be interesting. It's Arsenal.
49:21
Obviously they have, you know, some big ass center backs, but I
49:26
don't think it's the worst thing in the world.
49:27
If Arsenal finishes second place this year, they'll be the first
49:32
time in UKL history to finish second place four years in a
49:34
row, so I'm kind of waiting for that.
49:36
Yeah, I am too. They're the best second place
49:39
team ever. Are they going to?
49:40
Beat their own record. If you're a, if you're an
49:44
Arsenal, if you're like, if you own some Arsenal pieces, are you
49:47
trying to like actively get other Arsenal pieces to try and
49:50
like help with this rotation issue?
49:51
Because I think they're starting to turn into like a total
49:53
headache. I think you have to.
49:55
So you you like like if you have Eze, you're like, oh, I better
49:58
pick up like merino too. And just like, because it's
50:01
either, it seems like, you know what I mean?
50:02
Like there's just some weird ones.
50:03
Not merino like because merino's pretty like ass, but like if if
50:06
I have saga, I think it's going. To be hard to get.
50:09
By the way, yeah, you have to trade for those players.
50:12
But I think it's going to be hard to get like a Madame Echo,
50:14
you know, I think maybe like you, you go for like a
50:16
Martinelli if you have like as a maybe.
50:19
But even like they neither of them started this game.
50:22
Not in for Martinelli super sub. Super Sub Martinelli.
50:26
I hate him so much. What a goal, huh?
50:29
Yeah. Lucky goal.
50:30
It wasn't too mean, it was a nice finish.
50:33
The gotta get a finish and that's the second time he's done
50:35
that in a week where he's come off the bench and scored a
50:37
crucial. Goal.
50:38
Maybe. Maybe he's finally found his
50:39
spot. On the bench, you know how you.
50:42
Can turn into one of those guys that you just, what'd you say?
50:45
No, you know Arsenal, those the loser team.
50:46
Keep like what you heard. That's why I had to stop.
50:48
Go ahead. Yeah.
50:49
The way they celebrate a tie, literally like that's the
50:53
epidemic of being a loser. Embarrassing, honestly
50:56
embarrassing. You, you have title aspirations.
50:58
You're going to celebrate a tie from Martinelli goal.
51:02
Jesus Christ. I thought you've been there
51:03
before. I mean, they get there first.
51:06
They, they, they, they have to like it then so they can be
51:08
there. It's sad.
51:10
OK, I can't. Believe, but I think is
51:11
Martinelli's type of guy that would you consider I, I think I
51:15
know the answer to this, but I'm I'm kind of asking, would you
51:17
consider if he doesn't start games still starting when your
51:20
team knowing that he's going to come to the bench and make an
51:22
impact. Absolutely not.
51:24
I I fucking hate. I hate.
51:26
So like I I have words. I benched him in one of the
51:28
leagues. I know it's.
51:29
So because I he was going to come up, I started as I even
51:32
know he wasn't playing. I was like, I think he's going
51:34
to come on and ended up working out, but it wasn't like that
51:36
wasn't a guarantee. Yeah, yeah, no, sorry.
51:38
I don't start it kind of once I I'm.
51:40
Going to be unbiased and I'm going to say the same thing as T
51:43
Code. Not because I hate him, just
51:44
because if he comes as a bench, it's not guaranteed.
51:47
Yeah, he's done it two games a row.
51:48
It's just not guaranteed. He's not one of those, you know,
51:50
I mean, he's not a star coming off the bench.
51:52
Yeah, especially if like like someone like Arsenal who have a
51:55
lot of young talent on the team as well.
51:56
What if they go up like 3040? They're like, hey, let's rest
51:59
the players, bring it down. Man, bring it.
52:01
Yeah, so I, I hate, Yeah, I'm not a yeah, OK, OK.
52:07
Especially goalkeeper. If goalkeeper's on the bench,
52:09
I'm never starting. It's a tough game.
52:11
Damn. OK, the Monday game, Everton,
52:15
we're West Ham. You're going to have all your
52:17
stuff figured out by then. So just a matter of like, you
52:20
know. I hate it when these last games,
52:22
I hate it because it's you're going to play Grealish obviously
52:27
and I but West Ham I got Bowen and I don't like starring Bowen
52:32
unless I see him play on the right hand side.
52:35
But the the good thing about like West Ham and Everton, they
52:38
don't have a big rotation. Like imagine if you had Arsene
52:40
versus City, like last week. That was that was a headache.
52:43
Yeah. Horrible, That's true.
52:44
I mean, so every time you know, it's going to be and I, you
52:47
know, KDH is going to start, you know, really just going to
52:51
start. It sounds like that's how it's
52:53
probably the guy for now, even though he's been like generating
52:56
00. Points, man.
52:57
Bring on Barry. I don't know.
53:00
Bring on Barry. Barry, Yeah.
53:04
I think you're going to start all those guys as you think West
53:06
Ham, you're pretty much just what like Tiko, you're going to
53:09
be like as like ginger cross owner.
53:12
Is that like someone that you'll be like?
53:13
Oh, I know he's going to play it.
53:14
I'm not worried about it and I'll happen you.
53:16
Know I mean yeah, but I'm, I'm hoping by then like, you know,
53:19
if Savio starts, I could like put him on the back.
53:20
You could switch, yeah. So you might have, there might
53:23
be a lot of people that you would switch in ahead.
53:25
Yeah, you know, but. Worst case, you're pretty
53:26
confident. Player, The player that's
53:29
killing it right now and has is also on the team that has the
53:32
best name. Who's Andai that guy is?
53:36
Bald guys Electric. Bald electric again.
53:38
He looks so good. He was a really.
53:40
Yeah. I'm playing against Cesco this
53:41
weekend. I feel like Cesco's gonna.
53:44
Oh scored too often United. He's going to score.
53:46
He's going to score a slam dunk off the crossbow.
53:49
Wait, well, let's let's say on this one for just one minute.
53:52
Potter, I think if I think if he loses this game against Everton,
53:56
I think he's in a a really I think he's in a pretty bad spot.
53:59
I think he's probably going to attack if he loses this game.
54:02
And I I I heard some rumors that Nuno Espera Dosantos was hanging
54:06
out in London. Yeah, how that?
54:08
Too, I think that could be a good thing.
54:09
And I think if you're, if you have any West End pieces, you're
54:13
pumped about when you think you own, if you're a bone owner, if
54:16
you're a piquetta owner, if you're a Somerville owner.
54:19
You're excited, are you? You're going to start seeing
54:21
those bags out of the Potter's eyes.
54:23
Then you know he's he's getting fired.
54:25
He's already there, brother. No, no, no, they came.
54:27
They came at Chelsea. All right, that those are the
54:32
matchups. So should we do?
54:34
Are we going to do a parlay? Wait, can we talk about last
54:38
week's parlay? Yeah, let me do we.
54:40
Talk about that. Yes, well, that was a bad one.
54:43
So we went oh for four. We went off.
54:47
We none of us, we, none of us. We would've, we would've got up
54:50
no, because there was a tie, right?
54:52
So like it was just tie. Totally running our teams keeps
54:55
T pick. Wolves lost everyone, all of our
54:58
teams tied. My Villa was playing glass.
55:01
I was like, oh man, if Villa wins, I'll be the only one,
55:04
right? And then, yeah, yeah.
55:06
Didn't happen but all. Right.
55:07
So should we be a little more conservative?
55:09
I think so. So man, for a second when Siri
55:14
was doing it, I was like fuck. And it was going to be right.
55:16
And we talked him off of that. But.
55:18
I know. That was a good thing about the
55:20
Martinelli scoring. That's the only that's the only
55:23
positive. All right, so.
55:25
OK. This week I have the I have the
55:27
odds up here. Tico, do you have the odds up as
55:29
well? I have it based off of Bovada,
55:31
yeah. I love Bovada too.
55:33
Yeah. Who wants to go first?
55:36
I went first last week so I shouldn't go first this week.
55:38
You want to go? You go first or do you want me
55:40
to go first? Doesn't matter, I know who I'm
55:41
taking. Yeah, you got that.
55:43
If you know you're taking, you go.
55:44
The Red Devils. Huh.
55:46
Against Bradford? Yeah, against Bradford.
55:48
Actually, no. Come back to me.
55:50
No, Utah, I'm not. I'm.
55:51
Not I'm not gonna matter. I'm not matter it's right where
55:54
where they are they at home or where?
55:55
They're plus one O 2. I mean, there's, I mean, there's
55:59
Mattress City who's super safe pick -600 it's not going to move
56:02
the needle. I can pick top, I can pick.
56:05
That that's the G tax. So they're in, they're in
56:07
Brentford. You know what I'm?
56:09
Going to take Tottenham -212 that's.
56:12
Probably where that's where I was leading.
56:14
OK, so you take Tottenham. What does that leave me?
56:17
Just the city I. Already know who he's going to
56:19
go for. I'm going to go born I.
56:21
Knew it. I fucking knew it.
56:23
I love them. I think they're going to crush
56:25
leads. OK, where does that leave you?
56:28
Plus one. They're plus 143.
56:30
Yeah, that's that's a good bet. Like for that plus 143, I think
56:33
that's a good bet. Last time you took them they
56:34
were also plus 143. All right, that's a good sign.
56:37
Yeah. Oh, and I don't think you know
56:38
this. I'm keeping track of everything.
56:40
Oh nice. Yeah, nice.
56:42
So far you have one correct. How?
56:44
How many? Should I, should we be placing
56:47
personal bets around Team 2 just so we can be like, I don't know,
56:52
it's. Vindictive.
56:53
Fulham. OK.
56:55
Enzo, tell me, tell me the the game you're interested in.
56:57
I can tell you the odds. Fulham versus Villa.
56:59
Fulham is plus 235, Villa is plus 134A.
57:02
Draw is +2 O 5. Fulham to win?
57:05
Really. OK.
57:07
Oh yeah, I like it. That really was very
57:10
discouraging. I like it.
57:14
Plus 235. That puts us in a a juicy little
57:17
+1098. Yeah.
57:18
Are we putting Sergei in this? How many?
57:23
Times you don't like the less bets the the better, but I'm
57:28
down. I mean, if he wants to, I just.
57:31
I think the rule should be he should be here to make.
57:34
His Yeah, if he's here. If he's here, let's do it.
57:36
But if not. He's probably to take everything
57:38
to those. Yeah, so let's do this.
57:41
So. So it's 1098 and then we're
57:46
betting $30, which will give us a hefty $329.41.
57:53
So yeah. That's good.
57:53
That's we need, we need the little best.
57:54
We need to win some little chippers like that before we
57:56
can. I'd like to win two parlays in
57:58
the season. We've won, we won two last year
58:01
but it's just over there were there were 17 weeks apart.
58:06
We're taking Fulham at plus 235 Bournemouth plus 143 Tottenham
58:10
-212 with a gives us a probably plus 1098 dollars.
58:16
Plus 1098 with which is a risk. Yeah, +1098.
58:21
OK, Yeah. All right.
