S4 Ep14: Off The Bench: Midfield premiums deliver · FPL Pod

0:16
Speaker 1: Welcome back to this week's Off the Bench podcast from
0:19
Speaker 1: the Premier League. I'm leeve from FPL family at I'm
0:21
Speaker 1: Asmuth Bill black Box. What weekend of Premier League action?
0:26
Speaker 2: That was?
0:26
Speaker 1: Then as and then to round it off, as if
0:28
Speaker 1: Saturday and Sunday wasn't enough for you, a Monday night
0:31
Speaker 1: game at Old Trafford for the age is a real,
0:33
Speaker 1: real Premier League classic, That wasn't it. This league never
0:36
Speaker 1: ceases to amaze me. Plenty to talk about in FPL
0:39
Speaker 1: with many of the premium scoring big We'll dive into
0:42
Speaker 1: all the games, of course, but first let's start with
0:44
Speaker 1: our teams. How did game Week sixteen go for you?
0:46
Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean, like you said, Monday night was crazy.
0:48
Speaker 2: That's one of the best Monday night footballs. Normally it's
0:51
Speaker 2: sort of cold milate doesn't it's the Monday night and
0:53
Speaker 2: then it's a disappointing game and then some title end
0:55
Speaker 2: of the week. But that was a classic. Yeah, it
0:58
Speaker 2: was okay, I mean seventy two points. It was a
1:01
Speaker 2: small green arrow. I can't really be getting small green
1:04
Speaker 2: arrows where I am. I want the big meteoric rises,
1:07
Speaker 2: you know, get and harder every week to get that
1:10
Speaker 2: make those stack changes though, isn't it. I know, And
1:12
Speaker 2: lots of teams are sort of becoming the same month.
1:13
Speaker 2: They mean the transfers I made. I bought in Fod
1:15
Speaker 2: and I bought in Fernandez, who obviously did well. But
1:17
Speaker 2: lots of people have got them in their sides, but
1:19
Speaker 2: they had to come in. So it was sort of
1:22
Speaker 2: a a It was a game week to just get
1:25
Speaker 2: my get my team in order and hopefully I can
1:27
Speaker 2: kick on from there. So not too bad.
1:29
Speaker 1: Yeah, very good, very good. Well, it was eighty nine
1:31
Speaker 1: for me. I was very hard with that this week.
1:33
Speaker 1: Very good day. Come on, you don't have to say
1:35
Speaker 1: it like that, come on, you should say congratulations.
1:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, so eighty nine.
1:38
Speaker 1: I was happy with that. The defense was actually not
1:40
Speaker 1: much the right home about at all. Once a Wolves
1:42
Speaker 1: scored that goal towards the end of the game at
1:44
Speaker 1: the Emirates, the Ryot and Timber double clean sheet disappeared,
1:47
Speaker 1: so they got too and two Gay and Tarkovski won
1:49
Speaker 1: and one for me. Virgil van Dyking was six happy
1:51
Speaker 1: with that. But it was the midfield. The midfield came
1:54
Speaker 1: in clutch this week. It was superb. I'd Sacker captain
1:56
Speaker 1: with twenty two, so the eleven got double to twenty two.
1:59
Speaker 1: Bruno thirteen, Foden with eleven and star of the show,
2:02
Speaker 1: mister Harry Wilson will pointer as my transfer in this weekly.
2:08
Speaker 1: So happy with that. Well, every now and again, every
2:11
Speaker 1: now and again one comes off, doesn't it at Harlan
2:13
Speaker 1: thirteen Thiago two. So yeah, eighty nine points up to
2:15
Speaker 1: about six hundred and something ca now so moving in
2:19
Speaker 1: the right direction, Moving in the right direction. Did you
2:21
Speaker 1: keep any of your five free a f con transfers
2:24
Speaker 1: from last week? If you got some squirreled away for
2:26
Speaker 1: a rainy day or did you just go mad and
2:28
Speaker 1: spend them all last week?
2:29
Speaker 2: I squirreled while away, So I'm back up to two.
2:33
Speaker 2: But the you know, it's always ifs and MutS and
2:35
Speaker 2: if some butts of maybees, isn't it with FPL But
2:37
Speaker 2: I had my eye on on on Minte to Rogers
2:43
Speaker 2: had Zach Funds and I didn't do it. And you know,
2:47
Speaker 2: there's nothing worse for the transfers you don't do in
2:49
Speaker 2: FBL what I've always found because you have to.
2:52
Speaker 1: Come on podcast like this and say, oh I thought
2:54
Speaker 1: about that or I knew that would be a good
2:56
Speaker 1: thing and people go, well, why didn't you do it?
2:57
Speaker 2: Then you know, there's the difference between coming on and saying, oh,
2:59
Speaker 2: you know Wilson in for his his big all, I've
3:01
Speaker 2: got Roger's and for his big all. But yeah, unfortunately
3:03
Speaker 2: I didn't really get any any of those. I was
3:05
Speaker 2: a bit I was a bit annoyed about that. But
3:07
Speaker 2: you know, I think the value of having these at
3:09
Speaker 2: least two transfers going forward when so many people have
3:12
Speaker 2: got three, four or five. Yeah, because they've saved those two.
3:15
Speaker 2: I just felt that was a bit more important than
3:17
Speaker 2: they're making those moves. So we see how that goes.
3:18
Speaker 2: But yeah, we already a bit down on that. So
3:20
Speaker 2: a bit a bit annoyed.
3:21
Speaker 1: All right, okay, well listen if you're a bit annoyed,
3:23
Speaker 1: we're going to start with Liverpool versus bright We're going
3:26
Speaker 1: to just moment team.
3:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's one of them.
3:29
Speaker 1: Do you know when they said to me, oh, you
3:30
Speaker 1: want to come on off the bench this week and
3:32
Speaker 1: I looked at the pictures, I thought I'd definitely be
3:34
Speaker 1: on with as Liverpool Brighton this week. I mean the
3:37
Speaker 1: producers have planned that, haven't they. Yeah, Liverpool versus Brighton,
3:40
Speaker 1: then a quick word from me on most Sala. Of
3:43
Speaker 1: course he's off to the African Coup Nations now. So
3:45
Speaker 1: usually on this podcast we'd spend a good ten minutes
3:47
Speaker 1: talking about Hi, wouldn't we, particularly when he's coming off
3:49
Speaker 1: the bench or he's in and out the teams. He
3:51
Speaker 1: has been a little bit, so a quick word on
3:53
Speaker 1: him wrapped up an XG. I have one point one
3:56
Speaker 1: point nine, so that's good. He made ten defensive contributions
4:00
Speaker 1: as well, so that's the most he's made in any
4:02
Speaker 1: match since game week one, and a nice start I
4:05
Speaker 1: got on x Actually this is only the second game
4:07
Speaker 1: of the season in which he's made a tackle as
4:10
Speaker 1: I don't know if you notice that that was a
4:11
Speaker 1: sensational status or so it's we did see a different
4:15
Speaker 1: sort of mot Sala this game week. I don't know
4:18
Speaker 1: whether the you know, the benchings over the last few
4:20
Speaker 1: weeks maybe made a difference, Maybe it changes mentality a
4:23
Speaker 1: little bit, but we did see a slightly different most salad.
4:25
Speaker 1: But like I say, off to the African Cup Nations now,
4:27
Speaker 1: so no one's picking him in FPL. But the Liverpool
4:31
Speaker 1: fixtures are not too bad. Over the next three Spurs
4:34
Speaker 1: away on paper looks difficult, but listen, Spurs have got
4:37
Speaker 1: their own challenges, which we'll discuss a bit later on
4:39
Speaker 1: Wolves at home in eighteen and Leads at home in nineteen. Particularly,
4:43
Speaker 1: the next three look good for Liverpool. We're just starting
4:45
Speaker 1: to find a little bit of form on the back
4:47
Speaker 1: of this Brighton game and other results. Away into Milan
4:50
Speaker 1: was also a good result in the Champions League, wasn't it.
4:52
Speaker 1: So we're not going sellar because of Afcon. But Liverpool
4:55
Speaker 1: have a new goal scoring hero, Hugo Ekertk seven goals
4:58
Speaker 1: in ten starts. Now. Last time I checked his ownership,
5:01
Speaker 1: which was probably last night Monday night preparing for this podcast,
5:05
Speaker 1: it was seventeen point seven percent. I suspect he's gone
5:08
Speaker 1: up a little bit since then too. I'm finding him
5:12
Speaker 1: a little bit tricky to get in my team without
5:14
Speaker 1: taking out either Harland or Tiago, which I clearly don't
5:16
Speaker 1: want to do right now. I've got Mark Geh as
5:19
Speaker 1: my third forward and upgrading from gear to Ekatek would
5:23
Speaker 1: mean quite serious surgery where else in my team.
5:25
Speaker 2: So I don't know.
5:27
Speaker 1: I'm probably going to forego Hugo EKATKV the next few weeks.
5:30
Speaker 2: What do you make of the what do you make
5:31
Speaker 2: of this game? Then?
5:32
Speaker 1: As and give us your thoughts on Liverpool FPI assets
5:35
Speaker 1: over that next nice three fixture run.
5:37
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Liverpool. It's the same story we've been
5:39
Speaker 2: saying for weeks, isn't it that we want to invest
5:41
Speaker 2: in them? But outside of Virgil van Dyk, it's hard
5:43
Speaker 2: to know exactly where the points are going to come
5:46
Speaker 2: from and who's even going to play. You would think
5:48
Speaker 2: with you know, an injury to Gakpo and Saler going
5:50
Speaker 2: off to Afcon, you'd think the team would be more
5:53
Speaker 2: you know, be easier to predict. But yeah, yeah, you're
5:55
Speaker 2: never really too sure who's going to play in the
5:57
Speaker 2: different positions. I mean, it's going to be good for
5:59
Speaker 2: a kait Ks minutes. I mean he started the last two,
6:01
Speaker 2: but he was benched in the three before that. Obviously
6:04
Speaker 2: there was a bit more there's a few more players around,
6:08
Speaker 2: but I still think there's a bit of a risk
6:10
Speaker 2: that he Sack does start and Ekitik doesn't play. So
6:14
Speaker 2: my policy with Christmas and you know this schedule is
6:18
Speaker 2: getting players who are nailed on to play, you know,
6:21
Speaker 2: eighty plus minutes every week and Ekityk is a brilliant option,
6:26
Speaker 2: and maybe he is someone who I should be considering
6:28
Speaker 2: at the kind of the rank I am, But I
6:30
Speaker 2: just worry that when you need him to come through
6:32
Speaker 2: in one of those games, you know, those really good
6:34
Speaker 2: games that you mentioned, he's just not going to play
6:36
Speaker 2: and not going to turn up. He is. He's a
6:40
Speaker 2: difference maker though, and he's an unbelievable player, and he
6:43
Speaker 2: got off to such a good start this season. That's
6:44
Speaker 2: why his ownership is so high, and that's obviously just
6:47
Speaker 2: carried on too till now. But I don't think I'm
6:50
Speaker 2: going to be I'm going to be going I think
6:52
Speaker 2: the same as you. I look at Thiago. I think
6:53
Speaker 2: that's the one I'd probably have to move up, but
6:56
Speaker 2: I'd have to pull money out from somewhere else and
6:58
Speaker 2: then move my team around just to bring in a
7:01
Speaker 2: player that I'm not totally sure is going to play.
7:04
Speaker 2: But it's gonna be horrible watching that Wolves game, isn't it,
7:06
Speaker 2: because that could be anything.
7:07
Speaker 1: Yeah, I hear you as but I just feel like,
7:11
Speaker 1: and this is a bit of a Liverpool fan view
7:13
Speaker 1: rather than I've got any kind of stats to back
7:15
Speaker 1: it up, because over the last few weeks, in the
7:17
Speaker 1: last couple of months, during the Salah saga. You know,
7:19
Speaker 1: Slot's relationship with the fans has been a little bit
7:22
Speaker 1: if I'm being kind kind of up and down, then
7:24
Speaker 1: a little bit on a knife edge, isn't it. We're
7:25
Speaker 1: sort of are we leaning towards Mo or are we
7:27
Speaker 1: leaning towards Arna Slot? And I think as a fan,
7:30
Speaker 1: I think there'd be question marks if you took Ekertk
7:32
Speaker 1: out of this team.
7:33
Speaker 2: You know, I hear you.
7:34
Speaker 1: By the way, Yeah, you've got two nines Thereak, You've
7:36
Speaker 1: got ekerit K. They're both vying for the same spot.
7:40
Speaker 1: Esak still got some work to do to I think
7:42
Speaker 1: get be first choice in this team. And you know,
7:45
Speaker 1: there's an argument that says the more you play him,
7:47
Speaker 1: the more chance he has got of being the main
7:49
Speaker 1: striker in this team. And listen, we've spent a lot
7:50
Speaker 1: of money on him, so Slot's probably under a bit
7:52
Speaker 1: of pressure to get a tune out of him. But
7:55
Speaker 1: right now, as fans, we're seeing here going, well, Hugo's
7:57
Speaker 1: the man, ekerit K is the man. So I hear
8:00
Speaker 1: on the rotation thing, but I think you'd be kind
8:02
Speaker 1: of mad to take him out of the team at
8:04
Speaker 1: the moment.
8:04
Speaker 2: Do you think he starts that because they've got Thursday
8:06
Speaker 2: Sunday Thursday, that's game with nineteen two to twenty one,
8:09
Speaker 2: and that's Leads Fulham away Arsenal Way. So you could
8:11
Speaker 2: argue that after that Leads game in nineteen Fullham away
8:14
Speaker 2: Arsenal Way. That's two tough fixtures and it's three games
8:19
Speaker 2: basically within a week. That's the one I'd be worried about.
8:22
Speaker 2: But having said that, if you buy a Katk now
8:24
Speaker 2: you still get Spurs, Wolves and Leads, which I agree
8:27
Speaker 2: with you, he probably does start all three. So maybe
8:29
Speaker 2: I'm thinking too far into the future and actually maybe
8:32
Speaker 2: this is a good time to still to still get him.
8:34
Speaker 2: Maybe I think it depends on the five transfer strategy
8:38
Speaker 2: that you rolled out last week as an FPR manager. Right.
8:41
Speaker 1: If you're sitting there and you went crazy with your
8:42
Speaker 1: five transfers and spent them all, then you probably can't
8:46
Speaker 1: do a move like that. But if you've got a
8:48
Speaker 1: few in the bank and you want to bring e
8:50
Speaker 1: Kitk in and out, you know, bring him in for Spurs,
8:53
Speaker 1: Wolves and Leads, particularly that Wolves.
8:54
Speaker 2: Game in eighteen has I mean sensational.
8:56
Speaker 1: It's a great one, and then maybe you take him
8:58
Speaker 1: out in twenty twenty one because you've got the transfers
9:01
Speaker 1: in the Bank's a bit of a luxury to be
9:02
Speaker 1: able to do it.
9:03
Speaker 2: I don't mind it.
9:04
Speaker 1: But I'll go back to something you said about five
9:06
Speaker 1: minutes ago, which I think is spot on. This is
9:08
Speaker 1: the time of the season where we like to pick
9:10
Speaker 1: the nailed ninety minute men, don't we We don't like
9:14
Speaker 1: to pick any rotation risks because there are so many games.
9:16
Speaker 1: So I hear you, but I think if you're if
9:18
Speaker 1: you're chasing rank, it's seventeen point seven percent only He's
9:22
Speaker 1: not exactly uber differential anymore. But I do like him.
9:26
Speaker 1: I do like him as an option Liverpool defensively, though,
9:28
Speaker 1: I think the clean sheet probably a little bit lucky
9:31
Speaker 1: in this game. Actually, Brian definitely had the chances wrapped
9:34
Speaker 1: up one point nine xg of their own, which was
9:36
Speaker 1: slightly more actually than Liverpool rapped up at Liverpool got
9:39
Speaker 1: one point eight eight in this game. Diego Gomez in
9:42
Speaker 1: particular missed a couple of big chances for Brighton. What
9:46
Speaker 1: do you make of the Brighton performance? Probably could have
9:48
Speaker 1: and should have had a goal.
9:49
Speaker 2: No, well we should have scored. Simple as simple as that.
9:51
Speaker 2: I can't quite it's but you know how many times
9:53
Speaker 2: do we do these podcasts or do I do these
9:55
Speaker 2: things say well, Brighton, you should have scored. Yeah. I
9:58
Speaker 2: thought Minta it was the best game seen from him
10:00
Speaker 2: in a few in a few weeks. He looks a
10:02
Speaker 2: bit poor over the last few games, but I thought
10:04
Speaker 2: he was back to his best in this. I think
10:05
Speaker 2: he caused problems, could have had an assist, had a
10:08
Speaker 2: good shot of his own. Yeah, Gomez was Wastefore, I
10:11
Speaker 2: think he was a bit unlucky, a bit lucky to
10:13
Speaker 2: stay on the pitch as well with his sort of
10:15
Speaker 2: high high boot. Yes, yes, yeah, so I think the
10:18
Speaker 2: Liverpool clean shet was a bit lucky. But overall, I
10:20
Speaker 2: think Liverpool deserved the win. And I mean the less
10:22
Speaker 2: said about Brighton defending. I don't think I'm any positioned
10:24
Speaker 2: to judge bright Liverpool's defending when you watch some of
10:27
Speaker 2: Brighton's because it was it was a bit comical at
10:29
Speaker 2: times when it started, you know, with Minta's just booting
10:32
Speaker 2: the ball away in the first two minutes of the
10:34
Speaker 2: game straight to one of your players, who then feeds,
10:37
Speaker 2: TK and scores. You know, it's going to be one
10:39
Speaker 2: of those days, I think, And yeah, I think investment
10:42
Speaker 2: in Brighton is going to be tempered because we've got
10:44
Speaker 2: a couple of decent home games, We've got Sunderland Necks.
10:47
Speaker 2: I think you keep your players for that. But after that,
10:50
Speaker 2: we're such an inconsistent team you can probably use those
10:53
Speaker 2: spots in your team better.
10:54
Speaker 1: Arsenal way in eighteen. Yeah, that's the time to sell drinking. Yeah, okay,
10:58
Speaker 1: all right, let's move on. Let's jump to the other
11:00
Speaker 1: end of the week. Then we discussed it very brief
11:02
Speaker 1: at the top of the pod there United versus Bournemouth,
11:05
Speaker 1: I mean four, I mean, what a game. It's one
11:08
Speaker 1: of my most enjoyable games that I've watched this season,
11:10
Speaker 1: so so good. I noticed actually that as a result
11:14
Speaker 1: of that game, United have now jumped Manchester. United jumped
11:16
Speaker 1: to top of the league in terms of XG this season,
11:19
Speaker 1: so thirty three point eighty six XG and a bit
11:23
Speaker 1: into contact. City are on thirty one point eight nine
11:25
Speaker 1: Chelsea thirty point one eight. So United now creating chances
11:29
Speaker 1: left right and center. Bruno now nine goal involvements in
11:32
Speaker 1: his last nine which I noticed no player across Europe's
11:36
Speaker 1: top five leagues has more than that since November, so
11:38
Speaker 1: he is definitely the man on form. And we've sat here,
11:41
Speaker 1: you and I think discussed on these Off the Bench
11:43
Speaker 1: podcast about his route to points. We like players with
11:46
Speaker 1: root to points, and we've just mentioned the fact that
11:48
Speaker 1: we like players over this busy fixture schedule period that
11:51
Speaker 1: have got that ninety minutes in them. Well, Bruno's got
11:54
Speaker 1: both of those. He's got both of those, so I
11:55
Speaker 1: think he's I don't want to put him in their
11:57
Speaker 1: central bracket yet, but he's definitely a pick that I
12:00
Speaker 1: think a lot of FBO managers already have or should
12:02
Speaker 1: be looking at.
12:03
Speaker 2: I guess the concern is with Mbumo and Amad going off,
12:06
Speaker 2: the impact that has on on Bruno and Manchester United,
12:09
Speaker 2: because we know defensively, I mean, they struggled so much
12:12
Speaker 2: in the midfield. You know when Casimira came off, they
12:15
Speaker 2: just look so light, so easy to play against, and
12:18
Speaker 2: Bruno is gonna have to do more now so the
12:21
Speaker 2: fixtures aren't as good. I do wonder if if again,
12:24
Speaker 2: I mean, if you don't have him at this point,
12:26
Speaker 2: you've missed two big big calls for him, and I
12:28
Speaker 2: completely understand why you might be thinking to yourself, I
12:30
Speaker 2: need to get him in. But I do wonder if
12:33
Speaker 2: you actually just avoid him for the next couple I mean,
12:36
Speaker 2: it's Aston Away Newcastle and then you got you look
12:39
Speaker 2: at maybe getting back in for Wolves at all.
12:41
Speaker 1: Nineteen is the yeah, yeah, okay, yeah.
12:44
Speaker 2: Would you to bring him in the head of Villa Away,
12:46
Speaker 2: that's the question, because they look I'm really.
12:48
Speaker 1: Good on fire, aren't they They're on fire and it
12:50
Speaker 1: would be a tricky So yeah, maybe you could go
12:53
Speaker 1: without in the next two. But I just feel like
12:55
Speaker 1: I feel like Bruno is the player that turns my
12:58
Speaker 1: arrow green every week. Like you know, it seems like
13:00
Speaker 1: Manchester United are either the final or penultimate game most games.
13:05
Speaker 1: I feel like they've played a lot of Mondays recently,
13:06
Speaker 1: Manchester United, and he just seems to thrive in that team.
13:11
Speaker 2: Everything goes through him.
13:12
Speaker 1: He takes the obviously takes the penalties, He takes a
13:14
Speaker 1: lot of corners, you know, the free kicks, et cetera.
13:17
Speaker 1: You know, will often produce the defensive contributions as well.
13:20
Speaker 1: So yeah, if you've not got him yet, you probably
13:24
Speaker 1: can go without for a couple of weeks, although you know,
13:27
Speaker 1: with some of the injuries at Newcastle with Dan burn
13:29
Speaker 1: et cetera. We'll talk about him a bit later on.
13:31
Speaker 1: Maybe eighteen is an entry point if you haven't got him.
13:33
Speaker 1: But yeah, what Wolves at home in nineteen followed by
13:36
Speaker 1: or is that Leeds and Burnley away?
13:38
Speaker 2: That's yeah, you've got to be looking.
13:40
Speaker 1: At him then, haven't you.
13:41
Speaker 2: You've got to be looking at him. Yeah, I just
13:44
Speaker 2: I just want to. I mean, I don't think there's going
13:45
Speaker 2: to be too many people listening to this who haven't
13:47
Speaker 2: got him, because if you had five transfers last week,
13:50
Speaker 2: you've probably used one of those at least to bring
13:52
Speaker 2: him in. But I think if you, if for whatever
13:54
Speaker 2: reason you decided not to bring him in, like do
13:57
Speaker 2: you like knee jerk now and bring him in ahead
13:59
Speaker 2: of Villa away or do you stick to the plan
14:01
Speaker 2: and go, Okay, I've avoided them for that. I'm going to,
14:03
Speaker 2: you know, trust in the players I bought in. I'm
14:05
Speaker 2: going to take a punt on someone else like ANCKTK
14:07
Speaker 2: or something like that, and then look to make that
14:08
Speaker 2: move maybe a bit further down the line. But I
14:10
Speaker 2: think after that, I think after you know nineteen and
14:13
Speaker 2: when in Boomer and Amada back, I would be very
14:16
Speaker 2: very surprised if you left, if you left my team
14:18
Speaker 2: for the rest of the season.
14:19
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree, ye agree, And defensively I agree with
14:21
Speaker 1: you as well. You know, certainly even with Casamiro in
14:23
Speaker 1: the team still prone to the odd era. I think
14:25
Speaker 1: the Semeno goal comes from a bit of an error
14:27
Speaker 1: on that side of the pitch between Shore and Mount,
14:29
Speaker 1: so covering themselves in glory defensively there and yeah, when
14:32
Speaker 1: Casimiro goes off, they do look really really soft through
14:35
Speaker 1: the middle, don't they really soft? So I don't think
14:36
Speaker 1: any of us are looking at Manchester United defensively.
14:39
Speaker 2: A word on Bournemouth.
14:40
Speaker 1: I think if you're held on to Antoine Semeno then
14:43
Speaker 1: fair play. He was a player that I took out
14:45
Speaker 1: is one of my five free transfers last week. I
14:48
Speaker 1: bought in Foden, so I was pretty happy with that.
14:50
Speaker 1: But for Semeno to get on the score sheet here,
14:53
Speaker 1: if you've got him, you're absolutely holding now. With Burnley
14:55
Speaker 1: at home coming up next after that gets a little
14:58
Speaker 1: bit tricky at Brentford away else away Arsenal on Spurs
15:01
Speaker 1: on the horizon. So yeah, if you, if you held
15:03
Speaker 1: your nerve and kept Semeno for this week, congrats you
15:06
Speaker 1: get the goal and he looks like a great pick
15:08
Speaker 1: for next week, you know.
15:09
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you probably sell him after Burnie though. Right,
15:11
Speaker 2: he's on four yellow cards as well, so I think
15:14
Speaker 2: that that band is probably going to come at some point.
15:16
Speaker 2: And like you said, the pictures do term. But yeah,
15:18
Speaker 2: if you, if you, if you've held him through this,
15:19
Speaker 2: you're I think it'll be a bit disappointed, you know,
15:21
Speaker 2: if you've got like say, there's been people out there
15:23
Speaker 2: who've got him boomoh, who've got Semeno and one goal,
15:27
Speaker 2: you know for both of those across the eight the
15:29
Speaker 2: eight goals scored, if you'd be a bit disappointed with that.
15:31
Speaker 2: But Semeno versus Burnley, I mean that is that's a
15:35
Speaker 2: left field captin's option. I mean, obviously most of us
15:37
Speaker 2: gonna be going for Harland, but Burnley are of very
15:40
Speaker 2: very poor at the moment and I fancy Bournemouth to
15:43
Speaker 2: win that game quite comfortably.
15:44
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's saying Semeno captaincy, then potentially.
15:48
Speaker 2: If you're not going for Harland, if you're not going
15:50
Speaker 2: for Harland, because I think it's operation target Burnley at
15:53
Speaker 2: the moment. I think if you're thinking about I mean,
15:55
Speaker 2: you did it with with Wilson. Obviously you brought him
15:56
Speaker 2: in in captain him, but you know you brought him in,
15:58
Speaker 2: but stretch too far. I'm guessing a lot of that
16:01
Speaker 2: was to target the Burley fixture, and I think that
16:03
Speaker 2: is a strategy we're going to adopt, you know, over
16:06
Speaker 2: the next month or so. Is can I bring in
16:09
Speaker 2: a player who plays Burnley and if you of think
16:12
Speaker 2: of going against Harland and then maybe that is the
16:13
Speaker 2: best captain. Yeah, well let's segue into that game. Then Yes.
16:15
Speaker 1: Seven defeats in a row for Burnley. I noticed they've
16:18
Speaker 1: got thirty three point four XGC, so expected goals conceed
16:22
Speaker 1: is thirty three point four, which is the worst in
16:23
Speaker 1: the league. They've faced two hundred and forty seven shots
16:26
Speaker 1: so far this season, that's the worst in the league,
16:29
Speaker 1: and they've faced eighty eight of those shots have been
16:31
Speaker 1: on target, again, worst in the league. It's got a
16:34
Speaker 1: job in his hands, isn't he, Scott Parker. He's got
16:35
Speaker 1: real jobs. Seven defeats in a row, and like you say,
16:37
Speaker 1: it is very much target Burnley, right now and I did.
16:41
Speaker 1: You're right, I bought in Harry Wilson this week. I
16:43
Speaker 1: know a lot of FPR managers out there were looking
16:45
Speaker 1: at Rau Jiminez as well, but I looked at Harry
16:47
Speaker 1: Wilson in the last three games before this Burnley game,
16:49
Speaker 1: and I think he'd got scores of ten and eight
16:51
Speaker 1: and eight, and I was like, this guy's ticking over.
16:54
Speaker 1: And there was a little bit of narrative about XG
16:58
Speaker 1: over performance right there was that he and goalie scored
17:00
Speaker 1: at Spurs, you know, very low XG. So a lot
17:03
Speaker 1: of people were saying, well, he's really over performing.
17:05
Speaker 2: Shit.
17:06
Speaker 1: He probably will regress over the next few weeks. But
17:08
Speaker 1: I just saw it as a real opportunity to go
17:10
Speaker 1: in on a three or four percent differential who had
17:13
Speaker 1: a bit of form and fixtures. And that's now four
17:16
Speaker 1: goals in seven games for him. I've noticed he's already
17:18
Speaker 1: taken a price rise this week. So people are not
17:21
Speaker 1: you know, FBI managers are not messing about it as
17:23
Speaker 1: they're getting on Harry Wilson. That's his fifth goal of
17:25
Speaker 1: the season. He's Fullham's top scoring out as well, would
17:27
Speaker 1: you believe. And actually, when you watch the highlights of
17:29
Speaker 1: this game against Burnley. He actually could and should have
17:32
Speaker 1: had a bit more in my opinion. And he takes
17:34
Speaker 1: the corners right another thing in his Arsenal. In fact,
17:37
Speaker 1: only Arsenal have scored more from corners this season than Fulham.
17:40
Speaker 1: So outside of not being the penalty taker at Fulham,
17:44
Speaker 1: he's got it all. Harry Wilson. I really like him
17:46
Speaker 1: as a pick. And it's not too late to get
17:48
Speaker 1: on him, folks. He's still only sort of four or
17:49
Speaker 1: five percent owned.
17:50
Speaker 2: What do you think of him? Yeah, and he's a
17:52
Speaker 2: good option if you're if you're looking to bring in,
17:54
Speaker 2: you know, Fernandez or a critique of someone. He's that
17:57
Speaker 2: perfect sort of five point five million is player, isn't he?
18:00
Speaker 2: But he's not six six' five something like. That he's
18:02
Speaker 2: going to be really accessible for him to. GET i,
18:04
Speaker 2: Mean i've Got minta for. Example i'm looking at At
18:06
Speaker 2: wilson THINKING i could save you knower point seven point
18:09
Speaker 2: eight million IF i moved, that moved him down to.
18:11
Speaker 2: THAT i. Think what's really nice is you Heard silver
18:13
Speaker 2: talking about him after the match and he, said you,
18:16
Speaker 2: KNOW i think he was my first signing WHEN i Joined.
18:19
Speaker 2: Fulham but he's not really not, delivered but he's not
18:22
Speaker 2: really hit the. Heights that maybe his, talent BECAUSE i
18:25
Speaker 2: think we all know there's an amazing player. There and
18:28
Speaker 2: if you look at his minutes over the season ticket
18:30
Speaker 2: at the, start you, know he, starts he plays, ninety
18:32
Speaker 2: then he plays twenty, minutes then he plays, sixty then
18:35
Speaker 2: he plays, aight then he plays you, know fifty. Eight
18:37
Speaker 2: then he's, benched and it's like you're never going to
18:39
Speaker 2: go there when the players that, sporadic and now it's, like,
18:42
Speaker 2: RIGHT i am now the central part of this team
18:45
Speaker 2: and everything goes through. Me, yeah and when you see
18:49
Speaker 2: a play like that step, up you kind of do
18:50
Speaker 2: have to take note a little. Bit and when the
18:54
Speaker 2: returns are there from AN fl, perspective you, know it's
18:56
Speaker 2: like the perfect. STORM i wonder Help fulham be affected
18:59
Speaker 2: by by a f. Con you, know some of their
19:02
Speaker 2: players going off the pictures do turn a bit Off
19:05
Speaker 2: dix two, Weeks but, AGAIN i don't think it's that
19:08
Speaker 2: much of a gamble to go for a five to six,
19:11
Speaker 2: option and, yeah he looks, great so go for. It like?
19:16
Speaker 1: It, YEAH i like it a, Lot and to be,
19:17
Speaker 1: honest WHEN i brought him IN i was just looking
19:19
Speaker 1: really at the next three. WEEKS i was looking at
19:21
Speaker 1: That burnley, game Then forrest at home and West ham
19:23
Speaker 1: because it gets a bit trickier from nineteen onwards It's
19:25
Speaker 1: Palace Liverpool. Chelsea BUT i thought he looks good for
19:28
Speaker 1: these three. Weeks the move THAT i then planned to
19:31
Speaker 1: make in game week nineteen was to move him to
19:33
Speaker 1: kid And Drewsbury, hall so let's go To chelsea Versus.
19:35
Speaker 1: Everton that was going to, be you, know a MOVE
19:37
Speaker 1: i was planning to. Make But kadi h off on
19:41
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes with a hamstring. Injury so brought in by
19:44
Speaker 1: six hundred and eighty thousand fantasy managers in the run
19:47
Speaker 1: up to game week, sixteen SO i don't know if
19:49
Speaker 1: he was the most, bought but he was definitely up.
19:51
Speaker 1: There and the, curse THE fpl curse strikes. Again so
19:54
Speaker 1: he's done his hamstring. Injury we need to hear a
19:56
Speaker 1: bit more From David moyes later this, WEEK i, Think
19:58
Speaker 1: but certainly he was one THAT i was eyeing up
20:00
Speaker 1: as a Potential Harry wilson replacement When wilson's fixtures toughened.
20:04
Speaker 1: Up but, LISTEN i might stick With harry the way
20:07
Speaker 1: that he's Going chelsea Versus. Everton let's Do everton. First
20:10
Speaker 1: i've Mentioned keen And Drewsbury. Hall a bit of an
20:13
Speaker 1: injury crisis potentially At everton Because GREENISH i think also
20:17
Speaker 1: reportedly felt something in his. Hamstring kind of know what
20:20
Speaker 1: that looks. Like yet again we need to hear From
20:22
Speaker 1: David moyes and then of Course gay and Then die
20:25
Speaker 1: both departing for The African cup Of, nations so we'll
20:28
Speaker 1: be unavailable for anywhere between three to six, weeks depending
20:31
Speaker 1: on how their countries get. On so, yeah bit of
20:33
Speaker 1: a bit of a midfielder injury crisis For david moyst
20:36
Speaker 1: to have to handle ahead of you know what is
20:38
Speaker 1: a very difficult, game you, know easy one coming up
20:41
Speaker 1: next Against Arsenal.
20:42
Speaker 2: Right, WELL i mean talk about a christ And i'd
20:44
Speaker 2: argue you could take any of those four players Out
20:46
Speaker 2: Dewsbury hall And, Die gay Or grealish and you significantly weaken.
20:50
Speaker 2: That to take all four out potentially against one of
20:56
Speaker 2: the two best teams in the, league is that is
20:59
Speaker 2: that is going to be a really rough GAME i
21:02
Speaker 2: think for, Them and, YEAH i do worry About everton going.
21:04
Speaker 2: FORWARD i think you, know obviously if you've got the
21:06
Speaker 2: if you've got and, die he's not be a. Cell
21:09
Speaker 2: you need to be getting rid of him Due Toree
21:11
Speaker 2: hall is a really frustrating one because he's so cheap
21:13
Speaker 2: at five to, one and like you, say the fixtures
21:16
Speaker 2: are pretty good like in a few weeks, time AND
21:18
Speaker 2: i think a lot of people have had their rise on.
21:20
Speaker 2: Him but NOW i think you've got to make a
21:22
Speaker 2: decision on, him and you might not have the. MONEY
21:24
Speaker 2: i know we've got, transfers but if you've used those
21:25
Speaker 2: transfers and he's five to, one he's an awkward price
21:28
Speaker 2: to know who to totally go. To so if you've
21:30
Speaker 2: got a bit of money in the, BANK i think
21:31
Speaker 2: The wilson moves is. Easy but if you haven't and
21:34
Speaker 2: you've got to use transfers elsewhere to upgrade, him it's
21:37
Speaker 2: not going to be one that you wanted to wanted to.
21:39
Speaker 2: Do so, yeah. FRUSTRATING i worry About everton Against. ARSENAL
21:44
Speaker 2: i think they. Could god it's a good job they're at,
21:46
Speaker 2: home let's put it that. Way BUT i think'll be
21:49
Speaker 2: right up for.
21:49
Speaker 1: That. YEAH i don't have any issues with Playing ryer
21:52
Speaker 1: And timber And soccer next. WEEK i wouldn't have any
21:55
Speaker 1: issues playing them any week, Actually but, yeah given that
21:57
Speaker 1: the given the crisis we've got, here Got tarkovski in my,
22:00
Speaker 1: team probably going to bench him next. WEEK i was
22:03
Speaker 1: probably going to bench him if Not. Sale actually a
22:05
Speaker 1: bit more on that later On chelsea, Though tuna when
22:07
Speaker 1: very professional performance From, Chelsea Cole palmer back and amongst the,
22:12
Speaker 1: goals still being managed, carefully though far from a ninety minute.
22:15
Speaker 1: Man at the, MOMENT i for one would be up
22:18
Speaker 1: for a bit of a resurgence From Cole. Palmer i've
22:20
Speaker 1: noticed as a MINI fpl template forming right now with
22:24
Speaker 1: kind Of sokka And foden And fernandez and Maybe Harry,
22:28
Speaker 1: wilson who. Knows SO i wonder whether sort Of Cole
22:31
Speaker 1: palmer coming back into the. Mix, listen he's ten point three,
22:34
Speaker 1: million so again you need transfers and you need money
22:36
Speaker 1: to get him. IN i wonder whether he might just
22:38
Speaker 1: shake up the template a little. BIT i want to
22:40
Speaker 1: talk About chelsea defensively as, well because you, know still
22:43
Speaker 1: looking good from a defensive. Perspective But Cole, palmer give
22:45
Speaker 1: me a view on. Him too early to bring him
22:47
Speaker 1: in out with suggest, no.
22:48
Speaker 2: YEAH i mean he he is my my ticket out
22:51
Speaker 2: of The maya this. Season ok, Alright i'm not sure
22:55
Speaker 2: when it's going to, be BUT i know the pressure. Karma,
22:57
Speaker 2: Yeah i'm, thinking, well when it gets to AROUND i don't,
23:01
Speaker 2: know game week twenty one and something like, that it's
23:03
Speaker 2: a pretty good. Run it's pretty rough For chelsea up until.
23:05
Speaker 2: Then they've Got Newcastle villa borm Of Man. City don't
23:08
Speaker 2: love that. Run but then from twenty one It's Fullham
23:10
Speaker 2: Brentford palace and then you, know from twenty four in
23:13
Speaker 2: West Ham wolves Leeds. Burnley three of those games are
23:16
Speaker 2: at home as, Well so that's hopefully around the time
23:19
Speaker 2: When palmer's a bit more up to, speed he's got
23:21
Speaker 2: a few more minutes in his. Leg hopefully this coin injuries.
23:24
Speaker 2: Disappeared and that's What i'm. Thinking, okay IF i can
23:27
Speaker 2: be smart and bring him in and not wreck the
23:30
Speaker 2: rest of my team and give him a captaincy arm
23:32
Speaker 2: band a few, times you, know and try and capture
23:34
Speaker 2: time When harlan's maybe a little bit bit, quieter that
23:37
Speaker 2: could be the time WHEN i see my rank. Improving,
23:39
Speaker 2: obviously it could be the opposite of. That it could
23:41
Speaker 2: be That harland carries on the scoring at the rose
23:43
Speaker 2: of eight. Years but there's you, know there's got to
23:45
Speaker 2: be some risks that are. Taken if you're going to,
23:47
Speaker 2: improve how do.
23:47
Speaker 1: You bring him in now as ten point three, Million
23:49
Speaker 1: you're gonna have to make a sacrifice.
23:51
Speaker 2: Somewhere, well this is here would be the. Sacrifice and
23:53
Speaker 2: this is it's not just a lightful. Light i'm wondering
23:55
Speaker 2: if by that, Time i'm wondering how long this fod
23:58
Speaker 2: and bubble, last you, know because Obviously foden is a great,
24:03
Speaker 2: option and but he's not going to score double digit
24:06
Speaker 2: hauls every week till the end of the. Season he's
24:08
Speaker 2: got four in a row, now which is a. Lot
24:11
Speaker 2: but as the season goes, ON i do wonder if
24:14
Speaker 2: there might be opportunities to to take him. OUT i
24:16
Speaker 2: mean even, SOCCER i mean. SOCCER i know has six
24:19
Speaker 2: and six we're gonna talk about us on a, bit
24:20
Speaker 2: but Six stacker returns that. Is but he hasn't been
24:25
Speaker 2: amazing from an F pl since and we've, ALL i
24:28
Speaker 2: think we've had this debate over the last few. Years
24:29
Speaker 2: it's like, soccers you're your player who ticks along quite,
24:31
Speaker 2: nicely but he has he still got that explosive fifteen
24:36
Speaker 2: point of two goals in him That palmer definitely does.
24:39
Speaker 2: Have so they're the two entry points. Potentially yeah all,
24:43
Speaker 2: Right WELL i quick shout out AS i SAID i
24:44
Speaker 2: would to The chelsea. Defense Reece.
24:46
Speaker 1: James now three lots of ninety minutes in a week for,
24:49
Speaker 1: him so can we start to trust his minutes? Again?
24:51
Speaker 2: NOW i well done To morosca for managing. THAT i didn't.
24:54
Speaker 1: Think it's very good, Possible, yeah very, Good AND i
24:56
Speaker 1: think IF i was A chelsea, fan not only WOULD
24:58
Speaker 1: i be pleased with, that but it would also get,
25:00
Speaker 1: me you, know a lot of, positivity a lot of
25:02
Speaker 1: hope that you'll do the same with Col. RIGHT i
25:04
Speaker 1: feel Like Cole palmer will be managed back in the
25:06
Speaker 1: right sort of. Way they've got the squad to do,
25:07
Speaker 1: it AND moresca is doing a very good job of.
25:09
Speaker 1: It so three lots of nineteen minutes in a week
25:11
Speaker 1: For Reece. JAMES a bit of me wonders whether he
25:13
Speaker 1: might compete With gusto Once cado returns from his, suspension
25:17
Speaker 1: Though Trevor challibar as well started every single league, game
25:20
Speaker 1: so that these guys are again quite price. Prohibitive reese
25:24
Speaker 1: is five point six And Trevor challibar five point. Five
25:26
Speaker 1: so again with The chelsea, fixtures as you Mentioned, Newcastle
25:30
Speaker 1: Villabornmouth Man, CITY i don't, think, WELL i think that's
25:34
Speaker 1: something THAT i can take on over the next few.
25:36
Speaker 1: Weeks highly owned The chelsea defense and it hurts my
25:38
Speaker 1: rank Whenever chelsea keep a clean. SHEET i Think i'm
25:41
Speaker 1: going to take it on until probably game week twenty.
25:44
Speaker 1: One as you, say then the fixtures get. Better i've
25:46
Speaker 1: been looking At, Reese james and challiber a bit. More
25:49
Speaker 1: by THEN i suspect let's Do arsenal Versus. Wolves then
25:52
Speaker 1: you Mentioned. Sokka yeah that's six returns in six for him,
25:55
Speaker 1: now so, yeah ticking. Over but as you rightly, say
25:58
Speaker 1: maybe we need more than him ticking over for his price.
26:01
Speaker 2: Point, dramatic wasn't it with the? Assists wasn't it just,
26:04
Speaker 2: yeah it is he going to get? It it was BECAUSE
26:06
Speaker 2: i watched it over and over, again LIKE i was,
26:08
Speaker 2: LIKE i think he's going to get, it But towers
26:11
Speaker 2: took it away and then put it back AND i was, thinking,
26:13
Speaker 2: Okay and in the end it was the, right the right,
26:15
Speaker 2: decision but, yeah it caused a bit of a bit of.
26:18
Speaker 2: Concern as A sacker, Captain.
26:19
Speaker 1: Yeah me, TOO i captained him as, well and you,
26:21
Speaker 1: KNOW i MEAN i had very high expectations to point, here,
26:24
Speaker 1: right but not just From, soaker but From timber and
26:27
Speaker 1: From riot as. Well so when the clean sheet got
26:29
Speaker 1: wiped out at the, death that was a tough one to.
26:31
Speaker 1: TAKE i Think hincapier got deaf CON i think right
26:34
Speaker 1: at the. Death so if you had, him fair, play well.
26:37
Speaker 1: Done but for Us riot And timber, owners, yeah that
26:40
Speaker 1: was a that was a tough one to. Take that
26:41
Speaker 1: wolves That wolve's equalizer ever actually as well for the
26:45
Speaker 1: second week running hooked just before the hour. Mark so
26:48
Speaker 1: after a few weeks, ago a lot OF fpr managers
26:52
Speaker 1: buying into the essay hype and getting in on, him
26:55
Speaker 1: he seems to have kind of taken a bit of
26:56
Speaker 1: a dip from AN fpl. Perspective, again SO i don't
26:59
Speaker 1: know how much we can try is a right, now
27:01
Speaker 1: which is again WHY i think a lot OF fpr
27:03
Speaker 1: managers are going For saka because you just you just
27:06
Speaker 1: trust him to bring home the. Points, okay it might
27:08
Speaker 1: not be the big holes that we, want although eleven
27:11
Speaker 1: points this week is very. Welcome what do you think
27:15
Speaker 1: Of arsenal as a sort of in? General then IN,
27:18
Speaker 1: FPR i don't think there's any panic, here Right and
27:20
Speaker 1: they've Got everton up next to Depleted, everton as you
27:22
Speaker 1: mentioned before, before Welcoming brighton and Then Aston, villa both at.
27:26
Speaker 1: Home Despite villa being in a little bit of, form
27:28
Speaker 1: it's still a home game For, arsenal so that's. Good
27:30
Speaker 1: so you, know no panic On arsenal over the next
27:33
Speaker 1: three for? Me who have you got as your? Three
27:36
Speaker 1: if you've got, three and anyone that you would think
27:39
Speaker 1: would be on the periphery OF fpr manager's thoughts right?
27:41
Speaker 2: Now, YEAH i meansa is a classic, example isn't? He
27:43
Speaker 2: like we, Said it's just he's such a talented. Player
27:46
Speaker 2: but whenever it feels Like arsenal need to make a
27:48
Speaker 2: change or tweak the system or they're, struggling you're always
27:51
Speaker 2: gonna be worried about the, lineups and he's always sort
27:53
Speaker 2: of the first SACRIFICE i think in these types of.
27:56
Speaker 2: Games SO i just don't think he's an. Option it's
27:58
Speaker 2: similar to Like trossard And Mark League madua ak that
28:02
Speaker 2: you just never know which one of those is going
28:04
Speaker 2: to start so in, ATTACK i think that only really
28:06
Speaker 2: leaves you With rice And. Soaker they're the ones that
28:10
Speaker 2: are going to play though almost every minute there they're.
28:12
Speaker 2: Available i've got both of. Those rice is like obviously
28:16
Speaker 2: done really. Well but again he's that sort of ticking over,
28:19
Speaker 2: option you, know gets a death coat every now and
28:21
Speaker 2: then gets an, assist which Is fice is, okay hasn't? It,
28:24
Speaker 2: YEAH i Mean i've got him. CHEAPER i THINK i
28:26
Speaker 2: paid about six six for. HIM i think he's now
28:28
Speaker 2: about seven to. One so WILL i be buying him?
28:30
Speaker 2: NOW i think you can probably do a bit better
28:32
Speaker 2: with the. Money soccer's, fine and then its, defense. ISN'T
28:35
Speaker 2: i mean a lot of people doubled. UP i wouldn't
28:37
Speaker 2: be doubling up on the defense. Now like IF i
28:39
Speaker 2: was looking to buy another defender or buy a goalkeeper
28:42
Speaker 2: AND i already had a, DEFENDER i don't Think i'd
28:44
Speaker 2: be looking to do. That there's just too many injuries
28:47
Speaker 2: and problems that in that team exacting six.
28:51
Speaker 1: As well now as the majority of that, was you,
28:53
Speaker 1: know Since gabrielle's been, injured, Right.
28:55
Speaker 2: Yeah saliba's, back which is, Massive but Now white's, out
28:57
Speaker 2: so that's going to put a bit more pressure on
28:59
Speaker 2: Like timber to play more. Minutes Lewis skelly is just
29:01
Speaker 2: completely out of. Favor, yeah you, know even with Color fury,
29:04
Speaker 2: spended he wasn't in the in the starting, eleven so
29:07
Speaker 2: that was a. Surprise so, yeah there's still a bit
29:09
Speaker 2: of uncertainty around. That but they're Still they're still a,
29:12
Speaker 2: very very good. TEAM i was disappointed with them Against,
29:15
Speaker 2: WOLVES i, thought particularly in that first. HALF i was
29:17
Speaker 2: expecting two three, goals big call from soccer got it
29:20
Speaker 2: in the, end But wolves put up more of a
29:23
Speaker 2: fight in that game THAN i thought they. Would so,
29:25
Speaker 2: YEAH i, think you, know it's all a bit about
29:27
Speaker 2: which Three arsenal players are. OPTIMAL i think you can
29:29
Speaker 2: get away with two at the. MOMENT i think if
29:31
Speaker 2: you've got A railer in, soccer or A timber And
29:33
Speaker 2: sacker or something like, THAT i don't think at the
29:35
Speaker 2: Moment i'll be looking to add another.
29:36
Speaker 1: One, okay all, Right i'm just going to stick up
29:38
Speaker 1: for The arsenal defense a little. Bit and maybe there's
29:40
Speaker 1: some bias here Because i've got two of. Them but
29:42
Speaker 1: the stats still say that they are the best over
29:45
Speaker 1: the over the last. Six their X gc is four
29:47
Speaker 1: point one, nine they're expected goals concede it a four
29:49
Speaker 1: point one. Night that's still the best in the league
29:52
Speaker 1: over the last. Six so despite conceding the odd, goal
29:54
Speaker 1: despite you, know for, example The wolves goal wiping out
29:56
Speaker 1: the double clean sheet and IN fpr we all you
29:58
Speaker 1: know the toys come out prams only minded when that
30:00
Speaker 1: go went. In the stats still suggests that they are
30:04
Speaker 1: a pretty elite.
30:04
Speaker 2: Defense BUT i, HEAR i hear.
30:06
Speaker 1: You you know there is a lot of, uncertainty and
30:08
Speaker 1: That's arsenal backline at the, minute and a lot of
30:09
Speaker 1: chopping and changing because of, injury that's for. Sure let's
30:13
Speaker 1: move it on To brentford versus Leads. AS i want
30:16
Speaker 1: to talk about your relationship With dominic Cavit. Lewining what
30:21
Speaker 1: is going. On i'm just going To i'm just going
30:23
Speaker 1: to hand the mic to you at this. Stage, WELL
30:26
Speaker 1: i bought him.
30:27
Speaker 2: IN i brought him in a game we eight on
30:30
Speaker 2: my wild, card and it raised a few. Eyebrows let's
30:33
Speaker 2: let's put it that. WAY i went from Over, thiago
30:35
Speaker 2: who obviously. SCORED i don't even know how many goals
30:38
Speaker 2: he scored over the. Run but the idea of him,
30:41
Speaker 2: was you, know he's playing ninety. Minutes he seemed like
30:43
Speaker 2: their first choice striker who he's on. Penalties HIS xi
30:47
Speaker 2: has consistently been good over the, years even if he
30:49
Speaker 2: hasn't necessarily had the, returns and he was supposed to
30:52
Speaker 2: just sit on the bench and every now and THEN
30:53
Speaker 2: i might need to play, him you, know bring him
30:55
Speaker 2: in for a good. Fixture it didn't work. OUT i
30:57
Speaker 2: MEAN i played him Against, BURNLEY i played him against West.
30:59
Speaker 2: HAM i used him with the bench, boost And i've
31:01
Speaker 2: bench boosted him in Against Villa home in game week
31:05
Speaker 2: twelve when he didn't even start WHEN i really needed.
31:07
Speaker 2: Him and THEN i just lost faith through him because
31:09
Speaker 2: then it Was Man, City, Chelsea liverpool AND i, thought
31:11
Speaker 2: OBVIOUSLY i am in any of, those in any of those.
31:14
Speaker 2: Games he then scores three goals in, freely of, course
31:18
Speaker 2: and then we're going into Howl works and this IS
31:21
Speaker 2: fpl quintessential Fl and then we go Into brentford AND i,
31:25
Speaker 2: think well that's not a bad game for Calvit. Lewin
31:27
Speaker 2: but REALISTICALLY i want to move For thiago now before
31:30
Speaker 2: his prize goes. Up SO i Sell Calvert lewin For
31:33
Speaker 2: tiago who they love ranks Calvit. LEW i, mean you
31:37
Speaker 2: can't rise, it can. You it's it's absolute peak. PEAK
31:40
Speaker 2: fbl obviously really. DISAPPOINTED i would love to have caught
31:43
Speaker 2: a couple of returns from. Him DO i think he's
31:46
Speaker 2: a good. PICK i, MEAN i still think if you're
31:49
Speaker 2: looking for a striker that you know to as part
31:53
Speaker 2: of a, rotation or if you're playing five in, midfield
31:55
Speaker 2: he is arguably the best one because there's no other.
31:58
Speaker 2: Striker well this is. It there's no other striker cheaper
32:01
Speaker 2: than him who's going to. Play and he is frustrating to,
32:04
Speaker 2: watch but he does keep, chances and he's not going
32:07
Speaker 2: to go on another run like. This you, know were
32:10
Speaker 2: four goals in in four but.
32:12
Speaker 1: He can Making you've got to start making big comments like.
32:14
Speaker 1: That you got to stop saying things like he's not
32:16
Speaker 1: going to go on a big. Run you've got to
32:18
Speaker 1: saying things Like folder is not going to double digit
32:20
Speaker 1: hole every, week because.
32:21
Speaker 2: You know what happens. Next if fodin double digit halls
32:24
Speaker 2: every week to the end of season And cover gets another,
32:26
Speaker 2: four THEN i THINK i retire from. This this pundtry
32:29
Speaker 2: fund try. Stuff but, YEAH i think HE'S i think he's.
32:32
Speaker 2: Fine WOULD i be buying him to play him every?
32:34
Speaker 2: Week absolutely. Not WOULD i be buying him to potentially
32:37
Speaker 2: bring in every now and then LIKE i? Did, OKAY
32:40
Speaker 2: i still think he's.
32:40
Speaker 1: Fine, yeah, Okay and from A brentford, perspective then tiago in.
32:44
Speaker 2: For you this. Week no, regrets, right no.
32:45
Speaker 1: Regrets the fixtures look good enough that he'll get some
32:47
Speaker 1: goals over the next few Particularly wolves and Then bournemouth
32:50
Speaker 1: And spurs at home up next look pretty good now and.
32:52
Speaker 2: Then he could have had a penalty another, one but
32:54
Speaker 2: it obviously got off for. That that's what he won't
32:56
Speaker 2: be winning.
32:57
Speaker 1: Anymore it's any dango atara At brentford and now he's,
33:00
Speaker 1: On so that's their penalties drying up for the next few.
33:02
Speaker 2: Weeks, sure, no this is. It he's going to have
33:04
Speaker 2: to start scoring some non penalty goals. Torgo and the
33:06
Speaker 2: slight concern with him is his underlying stats when you
33:09
Speaker 2: take away penalties are pretty. Poor, yes you, KNOW i
33:12
Speaker 2: think it's zero point twenty five XG ip, ninety which
33:15
Speaker 2: puts him. Down you, know you expect a striker to
33:18
Speaker 2: be hitting about zero point four zo point four to
33:20
Speaker 2: five something like. That at Least harlan's is like one over,
33:23
Speaker 2: one like expected goal involvement by ninety for as, Comparison
33:27
Speaker 2: so he's going to have to step up a. Bit
33:29
Speaker 2: the fixture are still. Good i'm obviously going to give
33:31
Speaker 2: in a few. WEEKS i brought him, in but he
33:33
Speaker 2: is a player who is going to have very high
33:34
Speaker 2: ownership and might be a PLAYER i look to take
33:37
Speaker 2: out at some point to you, know get someone a
33:39
Speaker 2: bit a bit more of a.
33:40
Speaker 1: Differentially yeah, nice all, right let's move on To palace
33:43
Speaker 1: Versus city, Then so leading up to this, GAME i
33:46
Speaker 1: Think palace had only conceded one open play goal in
33:49
Speaker 1: their previous eight home, games so they were they were
33:52
Speaker 1: Making Sellers park a real. Fortress But city come along
33:56
Speaker 1: and score two open play. Goals of, course Then harlan
33:58
Speaker 1: is the third with the, penalty so not a problem
34:01
Speaker 1: For city and the lead up to this. Game in
34:04
Speaker 1: the WEEK i did watch a little bit of The
34:06
Speaker 1: palace game Against shelbourne In europe AND i noticed that
34:09
Speaker 1: obviously they had to travel to Shelbyon it's not not
34:12
Speaker 1: a long way to travel over In, ireland is, it
34:13
Speaker 1: but the pitch looked, heavy the weather wasn't, great AND
34:17
Speaker 1: i just wondered whether they might come into this game
34:19
Speaker 1: already looking a little bit knacker to have to, Say Crystal.
34:21
Speaker 1: Pallet such as their, schedule their schedules, mad isn't? It
34:24
Speaker 1: AND i did wonder Whether city might put them to
34:26
Speaker 1: the sword a little. BIT i know That city had
34:28
Speaker 1: A european game as, well but, listen it's part of
34:30
Speaker 1: the course for. Them all these guys are fit and
34:32
Speaker 1: they're used to playing twice a. Week SO i did
34:34
Speaker 1: wonder Whether city you might put them to the, sword
34:37
Speaker 1: and they. Did harland only two shots taken in this,
34:39
Speaker 1: game but two. Goals very, clinical really really. Clinical foden,
34:43
Speaker 1: again as you said before start of the, show, right
34:45
Speaker 1: eight point seven, million six goals across his last four.
34:48
Speaker 1: MATCHES i actually noticed a nice stat actually that three
34:52
Speaker 1: point three eight million transfers in over the last two
34:57
Speaker 1: game weeks of the last TWO fpl.
34:59
Speaker 2: Rounds that's three point three eight.
35:00
Speaker 1: Million that's the highest of any player across two game
35:03
Speaker 1: week period in twenty five twenty Six. Fantasy and we've
35:06
Speaker 1: seen his price shoot. Up, right he was eight million
35:09
Speaker 1: WHEN i blinked and THEN i looked to the next
35:11
Speaker 1: day and he's like eight point five eight point six.
35:12
Speaker 2: Million so Eight, No well there you. Go that's just.
35:17
Speaker 1: LISTEN i got him in a couple of weeks, ago
35:18
Speaker 1: AND i haven't been tracking it since then Because i'm,
35:20
Speaker 1: LIKE i just let, him you, Know i'll take advantage
35:23
Speaker 1: of all those price. Rises but absolutely flown up in,
35:26
Speaker 1: price and you can see. Why Right like you said,
35:28
Speaker 1: before that's his third double digit haul in a. ROW
35:31
Speaker 1: a quick shout out to the supporting cast as. WELL
35:33
Speaker 1: i Thought Ryan, cherkey he's only six point four million IN.
35:37
Speaker 1: Fpl by the, way he's got seven assists so. Far
35:40
Speaker 1: they've all arrived in the last seven game. Weeks that
35:41
Speaker 1: makes him joint top in the league now With minter
35:44
Speaker 1: with seven, assists creates chances all the time as, well
35:47
Speaker 1: twenty nine minutes per chance, created which is one of
35:49
Speaker 1: the best in the.
35:50
Speaker 2: LEAGUE i like, him by the. WAY i love Watching Ryan.
35:53
Speaker 1: Cherkey you know when you watch these players and you
35:54
Speaker 1: just think you're a, board you're just fun to. WATCH
35:58
Speaker 1: i really really like. Him BUT i think because we've
36:01
Speaker 1: all Got harland and most of us Now i've Got,
36:03
Speaker 1: FODEN i don't think we're going to be investing In
36:06
Speaker 1: churkey as. Well if, Anything i'm looking at The city.
36:08
Speaker 1: DEFENSE i think in that needs a little bit of.
36:11
Speaker 1: Investment from my, PERSPECTIVE i don't have Any Manchester city
36:14
Speaker 1: defense right now. Yet this was their seventh clean sheet
36:16
Speaker 1: of the. Season you, know palis sad. CHANCES i think
36:18
Speaker 1: they hit the woodwork a couple of. TIMES i think
36:20
Speaker 1: you just made a salm, mister decent one on one as.
36:22
Speaker 1: Well so maybe on another Day palace scoring this, game
36:25
Speaker 1: but seventh clean sheet of the. Season the UNDERLYING xgc
36:28
Speaker 1: expected goals conceded stats, back you, know they support the
36:31
Speaker 1: fact THAT i should get A city. Defender SO i
36:34
Speaker 1: Think i'm probably not going to Get churkey and go
36:36
Speaker 1: for the FUN i Think i'm probably going to go
36:37
Speaker 1: for the boring option and get O'Riley at the back
36:39
Speaker 1: for next. Week but what are you Making city in this?
36:41
Speaker 2: Game, Yeah turkey is the fun one That the problem
36:43
Speaker 2: with him is he's got virtually no goal for it at.
36:46
Speaker 2: All HIS xg numbers are, really really. Poor i've said,
36:49
Speaker 2: that isn't. It he's definitly going to score against West
36:51
Speaker 2: ham Now i've said, That but in terms of the,
36:53
Speaker 2: numbers they aren't really there and assists hard to predict
36:58
Speaker 2: because you know you, could you could be the great
37:00
Speaker 2: is the most chance to creating the, league but you
37:02
Speaker 2: still need to rely on other players to finish. It
37:04
Speaker 2: And harland is an unbelievable finish it and he's going
37:06
Speaker 2: to obviously score lots sort of, goals but he actually,
37:09
Speaker 2: unperformed underperforming this season on his X g AND i
37:14
Speaker 2: just find X a stats aren't always the best metric
37:17
Speaker 2: OF fpl. Points IT'S xg WHERE i want my midfielders
37:21
Speaker 2: to to be high, on and he's not getting, that
37:23
Speaker 2: SO i won't be getting. Him i'll be doing exactly
37:25
Speaker 2: the same as. You i'll be looking at The city.
37:27
Speaker 2: DEFENSE i don't think you can go. WRONG i think
37:29
Speaker 2: they've now got quite a settled defense for the one
37:32
Speaker 2: of the first TIMES i can. Remember really there's been
37:35
Speaker 2: so much chopping and changing with like a kid coming
37:37
Speaker 2: in a, kanji you know where's vardi ol going to?
37:39
Speaker 2: Play but with eight norri, off it's it's, O'Riley It's vardi,
37:42
Speaker 2: old it's the ass and it's, newness and you can
37:45
Speaker 2: pick any of. Those AND i, think, fine IF i
37:48
Speaker 2: said you have to pick. One, Yeah i'm going for A.
37:51
Speaker 2: RILEY i think he's The, YEAH i THINK i think
37:54
Speaker 2: he's the obvious. One he's still cheaper Than Vardi. OLD
37:56
Speaker 2: i think if they were the same, PRICE i might
37:58
Speaker 2: be might be a bit, more have a bit more
38:01
Speaker 2: consideration For Vardi. Elbert the fact he's that point seven,
38:04
Speaker 2: more his price is just going to keep going. Up
38:07
Speaker 2: he's got that no threat now from, it because he's
38:09
Speaker 2: gone to have comm he takes some. Corners he scored
38:12
Speaker 2: from a corner a little while, ago and he's playing
38:15
Speaker 2: For england. Place isn't he playing For england place on?
38:17
Speaker 1: Row?
38:18
Speaker 2: Yeah why? Not? Yeah why? NOT i think he should
38:20
Speaker 2: GET i. CAN'T i think we've struggled at left back
38:23
Speaker 2: for for quite a. WHILE i, mean you could bring haul,
38:25
Speaker 2: in BUT i THINK i think O'Reilly's probably the favorite.
38:27
Speaker 1: Now for very goodie, back very good, chance very good.
38:31
Speaker 1: Chance so let's talk about Aston villa West. Ham, now
38:34
Speaker 1: then that's their ninth winning a row across all. Competitions
38:38
Speaker 1: Aston villa sensational. Stuff despite racking up a few goals,
38:41
Speaker 1: here this was only then he got a zero point
38:43
Speaker 1: four or five xg by the, Way so there's some
38:45
Speaker 1: belt is. THAT i, MEAN i don't know about, you
38:47
Speaker 1: But roger's second, goal the way he took that posted
38:49
Speaker 1: it in the top, corner sensational. Stuff so three goals
38:52
Speaker 1: off an exteer point four to. Five so a bit
38:55
Speaker 1: of an over achievement there on the X. G so
38:57
Speaker 1: maybe we expect some regression to the. MEAN i don't,
38:59
Speaker 1: know but you Mentioned rogers earlier on in the. Pod,
39:02
Speaker 1: right it's still only seven million IN fpl all of
39:05
Speaker 1: his six returns when his last six returns will come
39:07
Speaker 1: away from. HOME i noticed that, Actually so he really likes,
39:09
Speaker 1: traveling Doesn't he five shots in this game against West.
39:12
Speaker 1: Ham that's the most he's had in any match so
39:14
Speaker 1: far this. Season SO i don't know if you noticed
39:16
Speaker 1: anything particular About Morgan rodgers away from home versus home
39:19
Speaker 1: and the shackles off a little bit more when they're
39:21
Speaker 1: on their.
39:21
Speaker 2: Travels, Villa, YEAH i Mean Morgan rodge burns so many
39:24
Speaker 2: people did in the earlier in the, season and a
39:26
Speaker 2: lot of people still remember, that what six seven games
39:29
Speaker 2: a goal From villa alone from, him and he's quite
39:33
Speaker 2: a tough player to predict when the points are going
39:35
Speaker 2: to come because he scores in away. Games he scores
39:38
Speaker 2: in like he's a big game. Player he's outperforming HIS
39:42
Speaker 2: xg more than anyone else in the league Bar foden as,
39:45
Speaker 2: well for. Example so if you look at the, stats
39:47
Speaker 2: they don't paint a very good picture of. Him but
39:50
Speaker 2: he's got that ability to score from range in any
39:54
Speaker 2: game because he's got that shot on. Him he's also,
39:56
Speaker 2: PLAYER i, like because he's trying To you talk about,
39:58
Speaker 2: COMPETITION i mentioned like look his hall for, O'Reilly but With,
40:01
Speaker 2: ROGERS i mean he's competing in the temposition For england Against,
40:04
Speaker 2: foden Against palmer and. Again at the, MOMENT i would
40:08
Speaker 2: say he's probably got the jersey he's going to be
40:11
Speaker 2: starting for us in The World cup because unless things
40:13
Speaker 2: massively drop, OFF i Think toucill favors him at the.
40:16
Speaker 2: Moment he's trusted him in the, qualifiers so you, know
40:20
Speaker 2: with that in his, MIND i do wonder if he
40:22
Speaker 2: can really kick on and have an outstanding. Season But
40:26
Speaker 2: i'm a stats man And i've got to be. Honest
40:28
Speaker 2: WHEN i look at the underlying stats For, ROGERS i
40:31
Speaker 2: am a bit concerned because overperforming X g in the
40:35
Speaker 2: way that he's. DOING i don't think is. Sustainable SO
40:39
Speaker 2: i want to see those stats improving and him having more,
40:41
Speaker 2: shots having shots a, bit you, know more and more
40:43
Speaker 2: shots of the. BOX i think it is a key
40:44
Speaker 2: one for. Him if you've got, him, though and you
40:47
Speaker 2: brought him, in you're going to be abolute to. Lie
40:49
Speaker 2: And i'm kicking myself for not getting, him but that's
40:50
Speaker 2: WHY i was a little bit put off by. Him
40:53
Speaker 2: man you at home. Though next he's going to do
40:56
Speaker 2: well in that, game isn't. He he should have see.
40:57
Speaker 1: It he should do it the way That united defending
40:59
Speaker 1: and Then chelsea And arsenal a way difficult than in
41:02
Speaker 1: eighteen nineteen for a West ham. Perspective it's third attacking
41:05
Speaker 1: returning as many game weeks For. Boeing so you, know
41:08
Speaker 1: we spoke before About ECKERT. K if you can't stretch TO,
41:10
Speaker 1: ekeritk Maybe bowen is an.
41:12
Speaker 2: Option.
41:12
Speaker 1: Now look in game week, seventeen they've got Man, city
41:15
Speaker 1: haven't they Man city? Way which is why we're all,
41:16
Speaker 1: considering you, know the folding or the harl and triple captain,
41:19
Speaker 1: right maybe for next week we'll talk about that in a.
41:21
Speaker 1: Second but from game week, eighteen and this is a
41:23
Speaker 1: conversation for whoever's on off the bench next, Week So
41:25
Speaker 1: i'll be. Brief but from game week, eighteen the fixtures
41:28
Speaker 1: for West ham look. Great Is fulham And brighton at
41:30
Speaker 1: home followed By wolves Away forrest at. HOME i mean
41:33
Speaker 1: there's four really good fixtures. There So bowen is going
41:35
Speaker 1: to be on some. RADARS i think as of game week.
41:37
Speaker 1: Eighteen the one THAT i want to put to. You
41:39
Speaker 1: and you know What i'm like WHENEVER i come on
41:41
Speaker 1: these off the bench podcasts with, you AS i try
41:42
Speaker 1: and tempt you with a little, differential try and tempt
41:45
Speaker 1: you within a little right as?
41:46
Speaker 2: Well we do?
41:47
Speaker 1: Well, well what About Mattias? Fernandez right returned in six
41:51
Speaker 1: of his last eight game weeks either a goal or
41:53
Speaker 1: an assist or a defensive. Contribution five point five million
41:57
Speaker 1: only get this zero point one percent. Owned, literally no
42:00
Speaker 1: one's got this, guy, Right no one's got this. Guy
42:02
Speaker 1: BUT i noticed When pots And magassa sit in, midfield
42:05
Speaker 1: it Gives fernandez the freedom to get forward and he's
42:08
Speaker 1: getting some.
42:09
Speaker 2: Returns he's kind of ticking.
42:10
Speaker 1: Over so at five point five, million maybe a little
42:13
Speaker 1: that's not one for this week with Man city coming.
42:15
Speaker 2: Up but in game week.
42:16
Speaker 1: Eighteen there's a little season changing differential for, you so
42:18
Speaker 1: you can take that one for. Free, well is he
42:21
Speaker 1: the you, know the sopout for For wilson potentially in
42:24
Speaker 1: nineteen because obviously we talk about films pictures turning. There
42:26
Speaker 1: if you need a if you want to take him
42:28
Speaker 1: out ahead of, that maybe you go For. FERNANDEZ i
42:30
Speaker 1: do you know, What i'm not even Gonna i'm not
42:31
Speaker 1: even going to be negative about this. ONE i normally,
42:34
Speaker 1: am But i'm wrong on these more often Than i'm
42:37
Speaker 1: right when you put these to. Me so, YEAH i
42:39
Speaker 1: would urge anyone listening to consider, that, because, yeah he's
42:41
Speaker 1: got a, good good sense for these. Things all, right very,
42:44
Speaker 1: Good all, Right well, listen let's let's quickly go through
42:46
Speaker 1: the next couple of. GAMES i think the last couple
42:48
Speaker 1: of games we've got to. DISCUSS i generally don't think
42:50
Speaker 1: there's too much to discuss From Forrest Spurs spurs only
42:52
Speaker 1: generating zero point three to seven X. G you, know,
42:55
Speaker 1: LISTEN i don't know what's going on with those guys
42:57
Speaker 1: at the. Moment they're really hitting. MISS i thought they'd
42:59
Speaker 1: turned a bit of corner in the three games previous to,
43:01
Speaker 1: this but they, looked you, know down in the doldrums.
43:03
Speaker 1: Again you've got to hand it To forrest though At
43:05
Speaker 1: sengai in, particular with an eighteen, pointer a couple of
43:08
Speaker 1: assists and a SCREAMER i think we have to call
43:10
Speaker 1: it a screamer late. On he's now heading off TO,
43:12
Speaker 1: afcon so you don't necessarily want to invest in. Him
43:16
Speaker 1: But Callum Hudson aduay only five point seven, millions so
43:19
Speaker 1: he put him in that same kind of cheap bracket
43:21
Speaker 1: with a nineteen point haul thanks to two goals and assists,
43:24
Speaker 1: here so very very. Good, finally, though The Derby sunderland Versus,
43:28
Speaker 1: NEWCASTLE i think if you've Got Valter marda in your,
43:30
Speaker 1: team your bang, unlucky bang. Unlucky there was a FEW
43:33
Speaker 1: fpm look to, well it's a good, finish wasn't. It,
43:36
Speaker 1: yeah good, finish but not in the right net unfortunately
43:39
Speaker 1: for his. Owners a bit of an ill tempered. Affair
43:41
Speaker 1: this nine yellow cards in, Total bruno Gi marez, booked
43:45
Speaker 1: so he's now on the suspension tight. Rope so he's
43:47
Speaker 1: only won away from a from a. Suspension to keep
43:49
Speaker 1: an eye on. THAT i Think NEWCASTLE'S xg in the
43:51
Speaker 1: first half was nought point not. Two then he had
43:54
Speaker 1: one shot that was their third lowest in the first
43:57
Speaker 1: half of A Premier league game for the last ten,
44:00
Speaker 1: seasons by the, Way so really not a very, good
44:02
Speaker 1: very good first, half and it picked up a little
44:04
Speaker 1: bit in the second, half but in the end it
44:06
Speaker 1: was the own goal that did For. Newcastle any thoughts
44:10
Speaker 1: For Walter mardi, Owners any thoughts For Anthony gordon owners
44:13
Speaker 1: from A newcastle perspective as or even From, sunderland what
44:16
Speaker 1: do you think of this?
44:17
Speaker 2: Game i'm going to come down with an iron hammer
44:19
Speaker 2: here and just, say if you've Got newcastle, ASSETS i
44:21
Speaker 2: think now is the time to. SELL i am an
44:24
Speaker 2: injured as, well, right quite. BADLY i think they're just
44:29
Speaker 2: they're just not right this. Season there's something not, right
44:31
Speaker 2: whatever that. Is you, Know gordon is really really. Struggling
44:35
Speaker 2: he doesn't quite it doesn't seem like how quite knows
44:37
Speaker 2: how to fix, that With barnes obviously playing well but
44:40
Speaker 2: then not starting some, games And murphy playing well When
44:43
Speaker 2: i've seen, him but then they've got a langer. Too,
44:46
Speaker 2: yeah and defensively they just conceived way too many. Goals
44:49
Speaker 2: So i've got chow really disappointed in that the one
44:52
Speaker 2: SHOT i Think somedon had the whole. GAME i was
44:54
Speaker 2: this adoring up the last minute And chow comes away
44:57
Speaker 2: with with losing the clean. SHEET i think now's the
44:59
Speaker 2: Time chelsea NeXT's got a tough run of. Games they
45:01
Speaker 2: do get better, again so if you keep them for
45:04
Speaker 2: the next, couple you're probably going to be tempted to
45:06
Speaker 2: keep longer. Term BUT i just think there's better options
45:09
Speaker 2: right across the. BOARD i would be looking to, sell,
45:12
Speaker 2: Okay and just just a quick note On. Sunderland if
45:14
Speaker 2: you've Got sunderland players like the goalkeepers obviously been. Great
45:17
Speaker 2: if you've Got Muki alee those types of, players that's
45:19
Speaker 2: all been. Fine but they have got six squad members
45:23
Speaker 2: going off TO afcon and five of them started Against.
45:26
Speaker 2: Newcastle SO i talk About brighton's. Prospects surely we get
45:30
Speaker 2: a result at home Against sunderland when half of their
45:33
Speaker 2: team is departing for an international. Tournament So i'm a
45:36
Speaker 2: Confident brighton fan in this. Game and AGAIN i think
45:38
Speaker 2: if you've Got sunderland players while afcn's going, on you
45:41
Speaker 2: want to be looking to.
45:42
Speaker 1: Get rid of, think, yeah, Agree so there's always going
45:44
Speaker 1: to be a difficult part of the season for, them wren't.
45:45
Speaker 2: It, Yeah and obviously there's so many games coming. Up
45:47
Speaker 2: we've got The League cup coming, Up we've got A
45:49
Speaker 2: european tie For. Palace you want to Be we've got
45:52
Speaker 2: lots of, transfers but also you want to exercise patients
45:56
Speaker 2: and just to see who's going to be coming in
