  Hello, welcome to Hello and welcome to episode 105 of
• 0:05
  Draftos Jesus. I'm going to start this one more
• 0:08
  time. Oh, and welcome to episode 105
• 0:12
  of Draft Off Sides. I'm Tico Enzo.
• 0:14
  My name is Keith. We are here.
• 0:16
  We are going to cover game Week 4, talk about waivers and look
• 0:20
  ahead to game week 5. That's the plan today.
• 0:23
  There's a little bit of tension in the air between Tico and Enzo
• 0:26
  just to start. Sorry, I don't know where that's
• 0:27
  going to end or go, but I'm here for the ride of that one.
• 0:31
  So just keep us. I think it all started because
• 0:33
  Enzo told Tico shut up like on Saturday, and then Tico's been
• 0:37
  angry about it ever since. For no reason.
• 0:40
  There are no reason why I deserve it.
• 0:42
  There are times I don't when I deserved a hold for it.
• 0:45
  Well, I think, I think you were you were Chico was doing this
• 0:47
  thing where he was false complimenting me all week, like
• 0:50
  being like, oh, your team's so good because he was trying to do
• 0:53
  the reverse jinx and it just it wasn't going to work with me.
• 0:55
  No, I wasn't going to. I wasn't going to let the
• 0:57
  reverse jinx. He's not his.
• 0:59
  So I so I so I handily beat Tico and all his prophecies came true
• 1:03
  and my team was so good this. Week he's no, he's been so far
• 1:06
  up your ass mate for the last two weeks.
• 1:07
  It's been disgusting. Look me straight in the eyes,
• 1:11
  I'm telling you, not reverse chasing it.
• 1:13
  I do believe you have the best team and you know last year when
• 1:17
  I said I have the best team, this happened.
• 1:20
  Points in putting at the banner. OK, OK, no.
• 1:25
  Yeah, no, I honestly also like the matchups determined as well.
• 1:27
  I told you, like even last week, I'm pretty sure you're going to
• 1:29
  beat me handily, but I'm still in first place because of the
• 1:33
  total point score dominating. All right, I'm not going to let
• 1:36
  this run too long. Let's just get straight into
• 1:38
  this because we we overdid ourselves on notes.
• 1:40
  I think we're a little excited yesterday.
• 1:41
  So what's this power through all this?
• 1:44
  First things. Nine teams with clean sheets.
• 1:48
  How is that possible? Oh, yeah, that makes sense.
• 1:50
  No, no. 92 clean sheets. Defenders reaping the benefits.
• 1:53
  12 defenders in the top 20 year to date, 14 in the top 20 this
• 1:56
  game week. Need to clean sheets.
• 1:59
  Year to date. How many games?
• 2:00
  There's been 40 games, so there, that means there's 80, there's
• 2:04
  been 80 teams and to have the potential of very clean sheet of
• 2:07
  every single team. No, no Drools, yeah.
• 2:10
  Yeah, yeah, 32 clean sheets here today.
• 2:11
  Wow. So I think Enzo, you were, you
• 2:14
  were alluding to this in our last episode just about the the
• 2:18
  power of defenders and like this shift into like the extra points
• 2:22
  and stuff like that. Maybe we're just seeing like
• 2:23
  that's that slowly people are starting to realize is how
• 2:26
  important it is that the the defender role is where it's just
• 2:29
  been kind of diminished for so many years.
• 2:31
  I agree. You know I.
• 2:32
  Agree. I I again, still still early,
• 2:34
  still four games in, we've got a bunch of new players and teams
• 2:36
  so they're getting acclimated. But this many clean sheets and
• 2:39
  this many 6 points going to, you know, 3 or 4 year defenders is
• 2:43
  key to win a match up at times. It's also first game week back
• 2:48
  from an international break. A lot of players didn't come
• 2:50
  back, make it back in time, not in shape and obviously it's like
• 2:53
  hasn't been playing. So that's, you know.
• 2:56
  Not to mention start of the season, start of the season,
• 2:58
  first game we back for international break.
• 3:00
  I think all those things are fair.
• 3:01
  I also think there's something to it.
• 3:02
  But I think the reason that defenders still struggle to go
• 3:06
  high or go where they're valued in drafts is because defender is
• 3:09
  such a fickle position that requires like a whole like the
• 3:13
  whole back lines kind of performance.
• 3:15
  You know what I mean? Like you look at like Nicole
• 3:17
  Collins or like certain guys who like were really highly coveted
• 3:20
  that aren't having great starts of the season.
• 3:21
  AWB, there's a bunch of guy, there's a bunch of these like
• 3:23
  premium defenders that aren't doing it so far.
• 3:26
  And so maybe there's like, it's just this thing that like,
• 3:28
  there's just, there's less guarantee from defenders that
• 3:32
  they're going to be what they were the year previous.
• 3:34
  Well, I think it's so high, so high right now, if you can.
• 3:38
  Yeah, defense doesn't carry over.
• 3:40
  The only defenders that always have is like the, you know, like
• 3:43
  the trends, the trip here, the few years he had munities this
• 3:47
  year. So those are the top ones.
• 3:49
  Anyone else to say so high? Yeah, totally.
• 3:52
  OK, Not keep going on injuries and bands, Injuries and bands.
• 3:56
  So we have Ryan Shirky has an injury, right?
• 3:59
  Marmouche has an injury. Yes.
• 4:02
  Mario from forest injury. The defender has an injury.
• 4:05
  SU check, got a red. Horse a bad red.
• 4:09
  Tieleman's got injured. Yeah, and he had to come off
• 4:11
  time. Geez.
• 4:13
  Odegard fell on his shoulder. That was that was his injured
• 4:16
  shoulder, Right Man, That's Strand Larson.
• 4:22
  Achilles. Oh, Alexi McAllister came off at
• 4:27
  half, it looked like he took a pretty crunch and tackle and
• 4:29
  then didn't come back on the second-half, right?
• 4:32
  Yeah. And then D Kuiper from Brighton
• 4:36
  injured. I think he's a drop.
• 4:38
  Yeah. I think everyone, I think Sue
• 4:40
  checks probably a drop because I think they got a bunch of new
• 4:44
  midfielders as well. So I think he's probably
• 4:45
  dropped. I think everyone else you can
• 4:47
  maybe make the argument to hold on.
• 4:48
  Do Maria. Yeah, he.
• 4:51
  Had a rough start and they got big Ange now so you know he
• 4:54
  might be. Maybe.
• 4:55
  Yeah, Yeah. Wait.
• 5:00
  OK. The only other thing better news
• 5:02
  is bootleg Hollander. It's we like to call him our
• 5:05
  Rasmus Highland. He scored on his Napoli debut.
• 5:09
  Enzo, can you do that? Can you do the song for me?
• 5:11
  Hey, it's me. I'm the promised Man United.
• 5:17
  Yeah, I mean another player that seemed to do well.
• 5:19
  What a weird world where Mctominay and Hoyland are
• 5:22
  celebrating goals together. I think Tico Center had
• 5:25
  Mctominay, Hoyland and the Brian are in the same picture
• 5:28
  celebrating an athlete goal. It's just weird.
• 5:32
  Feels like we're in like Football Manager.
• 5:33
  Yeah, you know you. Guys see or none Also had a game
• 5:35
  where he was rated 8. Points dude he had like 7 saves.
• 5:39
  Yeah, I think it was 8. Yeah.
• 5:42
  Crazy times, crazy times. OK, let's hit these recaps and
• 5:46
  let's just power through them. First one, Arsenal 340.
• 5:50
  Now do Weke was probably the most talked about player in this
• 5:55
  game just because he looked so darn good.
• 5:57
  He absolutely was cooking that defender on that side, Morata,
• 6:00
  because every single time he got the ball against Senator, you
• 6:02
  just knew he was going to get past him.
• 6:03
  I think he did with 19.5 points in 77 minutes.
• 6:06
  Amazing company, Chelsea. I mean, he was always a good
• 6:11
  player. Yeah.
• 6:12
  I mean, I, I think it's a silly it's it's kind of silly that how
• 6:15
  intensely the Arsenal fans are like unhappy about it.
• 6:17
  Well. Because they just didn't
• 6:18
  understand now. But with second getting injured,
• 6:20
  now they understand it. I mean, it makes a lot of sense.
• 6:24
  Isaiah gets an assist 12.5 points assists on his debut as a
• 6:28
  start starter debut Brooke Chris got a goal 15.25 points and it's
• 6:33
  you know, it was the as they did Gorkhous.
• 6:35
  I think that goal epitomizes what Arteta wants to do this
• 6:39
  year in a sense of like, like that really fast counter in the
• 6:43
  break. I think that's what Arteta is
• 6:45
  really wanting. And I think that's he's kind of
• 6:46
  alluded to that with like some of his press conferences and
• 6:48
  stuff. But that like it was a long ball
• 6:50
  out the back from Kyle Fiore as they ran it down first time to
• 6:54
  across the middle and Kirkridge just hit it in.
• 6:56
  Like that's the type of stuff that they're going to be wanting
• 6:57
  to incorporate into their games. Yeah, because they're not
• 7:00
  scoring set pieces as much anymore, and now they're the
• 7:03
  long throws. Oh.
• 7:04
  My God, how? The hell are we doing?
• 7:06
  Tony Pulis, you've been Mandy got a brace, one of which was a
• 7:12
  banger. What do we think?
• 7:14
  Like I, I don't really think like I, I I'm going to suggest
• 7:18
  in a later section that you don't really need to start him
• 7:20
  next week. You can say.
• 7:23
  Yeah, I just, I think that was like kind of one of those like
• 7:25
  freaky things. Like I think he scored 10 or 11
• 7:28
  goals in his career and his professional girl prior to this
• 7:30
  point. So that was what, like 70% of
• 7:33
  his total goals? 20% of his goals, Yeah, so.
• 7:37
  The the volley was a banger, but there was a slight defection and
• 7:40
  then the other goal was a good goal.
• 7:42
  But yeah, I don't think you're going to get the same.
• 7:45
  You might get a game with ghost points and maybe an assist, but
• 7:48
  I don't see him scoring two goals again.
• 7:49
  Yeah. And then just on the new on the
• 7:52
  four side, big and his back, it was interesting to see just kind
• 7:55
  of like the rotations and what that looked like.
• 7:57
  But I think the guys that you're like excited about starting to
• 7:59
  start, I think maybe some of those defenders that you had
• 8:02
  like the Melinka bitches and stuff are the ones that you're
• 8:04
  not excited about. I don't have any defenders
• 8:06
  you're excited about on Forest. Can I?
• 8:07
  Can I be can I be frank? Do you think any of these Forest
• 8:11
  players are excited about playing big hands ball off the
• 8:13
  scene? What happened to Tottenham last
• 8:14
  season? I think they'll see that he won
• 8:17
  a trophy and they'll they'll like that, yeah.
• 8:20
  But so you remember he had some pretty quick players.
• 8:23
  I don't think he has the quickest players.
• 8:26
  Yeah, Chris Wood is exactly lighting it up from the front.
• 8:29
  Ollie Inam's not a young, young man anymore, so.
• 8:33
  I mean, if you're an attacking player, why wouldn't you like
• 8:35
  it? So much so much like the amount
• 8:39
  of goals that you let in. We'll see maybe, maybe Ange
• 8:42
  evolved a little bit. We'll see.
• 8:44
  I think, I think, I mean, it was always going to be too soon in
• 8:46
  this game to really get a sense. Well, he only.
• 8:47
  Had one training session, so yeah, you didn't see his game.
• 8:52
  Yeah, next game, West Ham 0, Spurs 3.
• 8:56
  Zabi Simmons gets a start, gets an assist to Chico chagrin.
• 9:00
  Chico is not happy about this because he he's actively A Zabi
• 9:04
  Simmons hitter. I don't know why.
• 9:07
  Not a hater, I'm a realist. Did you guys watch the game?
• 9:10
  He did not have a good game. He.
• 9:11
  Had he had a decent game, he didn't have a great.
• 9:13
  Game. I think he grew into the game.
• 9:14
  I think his he was kind of quiet in the first half and then he
• 9:16
  really grew into the game. Yeah.
• 9:17
  When? When?
• 9:18
  They had an extra player. He grew into it.
• 9:20
  No, like how many times he like he dribbled out of bounds for
• 9:23
  like not pressure, like I don't know if it was jitters or
• 9:25
  whatever, but he did not have a good game.
• 9:27
  Like the corner. Yeah, like whatever that
• 9:30
  happens, but you cannot rely on the.
• 9:31
  It's not a special skill set. Oh, he's so amazing at kicking
• 9:34
  the ball. I'm, I'm sorry, man.
• 9:36
  It is a skill set. Look at that.
• 9:38
  Taking Rice for Arsenal puts on a fucking dime.
• 9:41
  Look Luca Madrid for Real Madrid.
• 9:43
  Put it on a fucking plate, Luca. Didn't even take the corners for
• 9:47
  Real Madrid. Tony Cruz.
• 9:48
  Okay, Tony Cruz put it on a freaking plate.
• 9:50
  OK, guys. But if he if he's on sets,
• 9:52
  you're just telling me that that's he he's valuable.
• 9:54
  Is that Simmons taking set pieces, guys?
• 9:56
  Are you saying you like watching the game?
• 9:57
  Obviously that brings value to the same thing with penalty
• 9:59
  kickers, all that it brings value.
• 10:01
  But stuff like that is like you want for him to get like actual.
• 10:06
  You play like Ghost Point. You want to get points on top of
• 10:10
  that. You want that to be a bonus, not
• 10:11
  not the feature. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get it.
• 10:14
  I think it's his first game. I'm not that worried.
• 10:15
  I'm not that worried about it, no.
• 10:17
  I think it's going to be fine. We'll see.
• 10:19
  I think I'm more concerned about Cole Milani not even getting on
• 10:21
  the field a little bit. Enzo, do you have any insight
• 10:24
  into? That no insight just looked like
• 10:25
  even even Ben for Charleston. I think it was international
• 10:28
  break. It's the only thing I think of.
• 10:29
  Yeah. I mean, Charleston makes sense.
• 10:31
  I can see was coming from Brazil, Cole Milani was, they
• 10:35
  were just playing in Europe, somewhere in Europe.
• 10:37
  So a little odd, but whatever our scores, is he showing
• 10:41
  fantasy value 13.75 points? I think he's one of those guys
• 10:44
  that like will be on and off the waiver wire the whole season.
• 10:47
  You know, like some guys might pick him up in a, in a good
• 10:49
  match up, but I I don't know if he's going to be, you know.
• 10:53
  Valuable. Like every week.
• 10:57
  Eric well scores a Tico S cutter.
• 10:59
  Tico scored a header like this in our in our Sunday league like
• 11:02
  10 years ago and we still talk about it it.
• 11:05
  Was a great so, yeah. So one good thing I talk about
• 11:07
  Tico. It was a great fucking Hitler.
• 11:10
  He got he also got this that day.
• 11:13
  Yeah. He also got Brigwell also got an
• 11:15
  assist 22 points. Linky white boy midfield is
• 11:18
  still a thing. Is that that's a reference to me
• 11:20
  saying that was only a that's a West Ham thing I think on
• 11:23
  Taunton and it's OK just linky white boy summer is.
• 11:25
  Over for West Ham. West Ham still had it.
• 11:27
  They had. Oh, they oh, you're right.
• 11:28
  They said that they got raw. Yeah, they got and they got raw.
• 11:32
  Yeah. So I like, I think that's that's
• 11:34
  my point. Yeah.
• 11:34
  I think it's only, I think it's a, you know, we're in the, we're
• 11:37
  in the dying days of that. No full crowd, calf injury,
• 11:41
  Potter 1 foot out the door. I don't think quite yet.
• 11:44
  I think there's going to, he's going to have a little more time
• 11:46
  to get this sorted. Let's talk about Bergwall really
• 11:49
  quickly though, do we? Is there any of the fantasy
• 11:51
  value there? If he gets if he gets a star and
• 11:54
  just say if you think about it between him and.
• 11:58
  Poppy saw. So if Simmons does play on the
• 12:02
  left like he did that game, then he's going to get starts.
• 12:06
  He's a he's a young player, very creative, can dribble, likes to
• 12:10
  likes to hold the ball. That assist wasn't really his.
• 12:13
  He was trying to dribble in the box and it just felt a
• 12:16
  Vanderbent. So but the goal, I don't think
• 12:19
  you're going to see that too often again.
• 12:22
  I think he might be another streamer just like Saw.
• 12:24
  Yeah, I kind of worry that's a little bit of a trap.
• 12:26
  Like people are going to pick him up this week and like he, he
• 12:29
  A doesn't start or B, it is not as dominant in in the role, you
• 12:34
  know? Yeah.
• 12:36
  Last year the highest point total he had was 12.75.
• 12:39
  Also guys, Champions League and Europa was back this week, so
• 12:43
  that might have missed the rotation for this past game week
• 12:46
  and the upcoming game week as well, so maybe that's turned out
• 12:48
  the start as well. OK, let's just really briefly on
• 12:50
  the West Ham side, AWB didn't play.
• 12:53
  No. There's rumors of sickness, but
• 12:55
  there's also rumors that he like fell out with the coach.
• 12:57
  Are we concerned at all about him?
• 12:59
  I mean, this is now he got benched the previous game.
• 13:01
  He didn't and they they won. Then he didn't play this game.
• 13:04
  Well, as a fancy on, we all thought highly of him last
• 13:07
  season going into this season, so you.
• 13:08
  Thought he was because he's did well.
• 13:10
  Yeah, he had dribble completions.
• 13:12
  It's the shot, sis. Kind of was an all around.
• 13:14
  He had attacking contributions, defensive contributions, so.
• 13:17
  If this, hopefully I can't be upset, hopefully he is sick and
• 13:20
  it's not falling out the coach because if it if it's falling
• 13:23
  out the coach, he'll just play someone else.
• 13:25
  Will you have Mary Cash playing right back?
• 13:28
  Oh, that's that's a no. It's Kyla competers.
• 13:30
  That's right. I think he might be a buy low
• 13:33
  candidate. AWBI think that's one.
• 13:38
  I think I like that. I think he's he's you can
• 13:40
  probably get him for. I think people would trade him
• 13:42
  for not much right now. And then he's the type of guy
• 13:44
  that if I saw him drop to waivers, I would absolutely be
• 13:47
  picking him up and just holding him for a few weeks to see if he
• 13:50
  gets that starting spot. Back if you have a spare spot
• 13:51
  and you don't have any injuries on your bench.
• 13:54
  Yeah, all right. Next game, Bournemouth 2,
• 13:57
  Brighton one pretty fun game. Kirkus Hoisen, Atar's up Zabani.
• 14:02
  So all the guys that were sold and they still sit in the top
• 14:05
  four, are we on Bournemouthwatch?
• 14:07
  Are they the New Forest? That's Enzo's question.
• 14:11
  I also would like to point out that Enzo was predicting that he
• 14:13
  they were going to get relegated.
• 14:14
  Sarah. I did and me, me and Tikko were
• 14:17
  laughing at him for that. Well, look, I've.
• 14:19
  Just seen those four players right there, that's on count.
• 14:21
  The ones they lost the year before.
• 14:23
  I'm surprised. Can I be honest?
• 14:25
  I know that he's he's a good coach, Arreola, I know he is.
• 14:29
  But losing that kind of core and defense was worrying for me.
• 14:33
  But they they look like they're just walking around playing good
• 14:36
  football. Yeah, I mean, I mean,
• 14:37
  performance against Tottenham was such a statement to me.
• 14:41
  And then you look at you look at this game and like Biden's no
• 14:43
  slouches. I mean, they beat City two weeks
• 14:45
  ago. Like they're a good team.
• 14:47
  I think that's, I mean, it helps to have a superstar like Sebenya
• 14:49
  who's just been incredible and he's like he's really like grown
• 14:52
  into, grown into himself in the last, in the last.
• 14:54
  Year and they they don't have no cups outside of the FA Cup and
• 14:57
  League Cup, right? They didn't.
• 14:58
  They didn't get into Europe last year, did they?
• 15:01
  Not only so. They they they could be the New
• 15:03
  Forest. Yeah, I mean, they're
• 15:04
  definitely, they have every opportunity.
• 15:06
  They looked really good. Matoma scored with a, what's his
• 15:12
  name? The guy on my team, Minta, I
• 15:14
  think his name Minta with the Minta assist.
• 15:18
  I think Minta really created a lot of that.
• 15:19
  That was a really good goal from him.
• 15:21
  I think both these teams are fun and good.
• 15:23
  And yeah, not much else to say, right?
• 15:24
  Yeah, I think the I think the Bournemouth defense is solid.
• 15:29
  I'm I'm interested in Minta's Ghost Points because every time
• 15:32
  I'm watching play he's just driven him past guys left,
• 15:34
  right. So yeah, I think he's he's he's
• 15:36
  got it. He's got that.
• 15:37
  He's got him. Yeah, All right, pal. 0
• 15:40
  Sunderland 0 Pinot made his debut.
• 15:42
  He had three points. A Dingarus started 8.25 points,
• 15:46
  nothing to sing home about other than just like praising the
• 15:49
  defenders. The one that's one thing with
• 15:50
  the MVP. No, I liked was that even though
• 15:52
  it didn't reflect in points, he was very involved in that game.
• 15:54
  He missed a few opportunities where he shot wide on breakaways
• 15:58
  and stuff like that. And like, I don't I think
• 16:00
  there's a player there. I'm not I'm not giving up on
• 16:01
  your MVP. No.
• 16:02
  Quite yet, yeah. Next game, average in 0 Villa 0.
• 16:07
  Martinez back in the lineup. Villa still can't score.
• 16:09
  So that's the fourth game in the row, The only, only team in all
• 16:12
  of England, all the all the divisions of all of England that
• 16:15
  have the score to go. Yeah.
• 16:17
  That's a little bit worrying. Yeah, Grealish looks dangerous
• 16:20
  every time he gets the ball. 16 points, all ghost points or
• 16:24
  maybe what, 15 and then one point.
• 16:26
  But I saw the key guns before he came on that I am.
• 16:29
  That's like, that's probably my biggest upset man is that I
• 16:32
  after the his first good start, I traded him away immediately.
• 16:35
  Look at takeover. I'm kind of regretting that.
• 16:38
  He's balling now if you I watched this game for the most
• 16:40
  part and grillage just looked like old Grealish Villa.
• 16:44
  Yeah, yeah, I'm aware. I'm aware.
• 16:49
  Like he he should have got, he should have got a couple of
• 16:51
  assists, but Michael Keane. Yeah, he has a really, he struck
• 16:54
  the ball really well. If he tends to Jack, yeah, it's
• 16:57
  a little not not the best feeling in the world.
• 17:00
  Yeah, but you know, it is when you if he didn't, you would have
• 17:02
  looked like a genius. It's right and he still comes.
• 17:05
  Back in two weeks, you know. No one week, one more week.
• 17:08
  Thank God. Anyways, Elliot came off the
• 17:11
  bench, said Sancho. And you sub man Villa is just
• 17:17
  tough. I mean, you're kind of stuck
• 17:18
  with like, you know, if you, if you drafted Ollie Watkins,
• 17:20
  you're kind of stuck with it. Yeah.
• 17:21
  You're not going to, you're not going to sell low because no
• 17:23
  one's going to get you what you want for that, you know, was he
• 17:26
  like, what would you take? What would you take for Ollie
• 17:29
  Watkins if someone offered you Mateta?
• 17:30
  Would you make that trade if you had Watkins?
• 17:32
  So was I going to give you Mateta for Ollie Watkins?
• 17:34
  That's tough. I wouldn't.
• 17:37
  No, it's not tough at all. I would not.
• 17:39
  It is tough. You'd keep Ollie Watkins.
• 17:41
  Yeah, like I'm looking at my team right now.
• 17:43
  I would trade like someone like JWP.
• 17:48
  That's how I would trade for Watkin.
• 17:50
  That's psycho. That's a That's a terrible take
• 17:53
  for. I'm just saying that's from my
• 17:56
  team, that's whoever is in my rotation, that's who I would
• 17:59
  trade. For Ollie Watkins, you don't
• 18:02
  think he's, you think JDP is like, like, why?
• 18:05
  He scores like maybe 12 points, eight points.
• 18:07
  You just, yeah, OK. But Ollie Watkins, they just
• 18:10
  he's the only goal scorer they have on that team.
• 18:11
  He's the penalty taker. How many goals has he scored?
• 18:16
  Yeah, but it's only where it were.
• 18:17
  What? We're not even up like we're 5%
• 18:19
  of the way through the season. Let's take into account last
• 18:21
  year. He had a good season last year.
• 18:24
  He had a great season last year. He did.
• 18:26
  It wasn't as it wasn't as good as maybe two years ago, but like
• 18:29
  as in the big picture, it was still a very good season.
• 18:33
  It was it was a good season. It was a disappointing season
• 18:36
  because where he was going on the drafts.
• 18:38
  Yes, but he's still at what, 26th best player in Tricare?
• 18:43
  The striker that always replaced him came in and scored goals.
• 18:47
  OK, OK, I agree with all these things.
• 18:49
  What I'm saying is, JWP is not the, is not the.
• 18:53
  I I I get it. I I get it.
• 18:55
  But at the same time, like there, what guarantee do you
• 18:58
  have that he's going to step out of it, he's going to keep
• 19:00
  getting? Those I can.
• 19:01
  And what guarantee you do you have that JDP is going to play
• 19:03
  after they keep getting beat 30 with the two like White Boy
• 19:06
  Summer in the middle? There, you're both, you're both
• 19:09
  right. And it's whoever needs that
• 19:11
  player needs that player. What Tico's saying, well, he's
• 19:13
  on his team is JWP. He's the only one he switched
• 19:16
  with. I get it like out because of the
• 19:18
  point. Yeah, but we're not, we're not
• 19:19
  here to talk. About I know your team, I know,
• 19:21
  but he was he's literally just saying that.
• 19:22
  And I agree last season was the disappointing, but he still had
• 19:25
  a good season. Was it second round value?
• 19:27
  Well, first round value because that's where you got drafted
• 19:29
  last season. No.
• 19:30
  Did you get drafted sick around this year?
• 19:33
  Yeah. So at the moment he's still not
• 19:34
  delivering and I get it. So why would you?
• 19:37
  My honest point don't you don't get, you don't get traded.
• 19:40
  If you've got him, you're stuck with him.
• 19:43
  Yeah, that's kind of what I am. Keith, hypothetically speaking,
• 19:46
  you've got a step out. Would you trade a step out for
• 19:48
  Ollie Watkins? No, I keep Ollie Watkins.
• 19:50
  He starts every game. That's about like, we don't know
• 19:52
  what's gonna happen. You threw out bait there bro,
• 19:55
  let's move to the next game. Fail.
• 19:58
  OK, next one full and one lead zero.
• 20:00
  That said, every hallmark of being a 00, another 00 and then
• 20:05
  on goal in the like the last minute of the game.
• 20:07
  Goodmanson. The leads The leads defender
• 20:09
  Goodmanson scored an amazing header.
• 20:11
  There was a ball. It was like, that's like.
• 20:14
  You know what, I feel bad from those it looked like the guy
• 20:16
  there was like 2 guys ahead of him that both jumped and it
• 20:18
  looked like one of them was going to have the ball.
• 20:20
  Neither, I'm dead and just landed directly on his he.
• 20:21
  Was about to have 12 points with a clean sheet but then he went
• 20:25
  down and next. Yeah, that's a big, that's a big
• 20:28
  turn. I didn't even think about that.
• 20:31
  I think the biggest talking points, there's two in this
• 20:33
  game. The first one, Robinson on your
• 20:35
  son sub, he didn't go to the US didn't.
• 20:39
  So he's still no, he's still recovering from his.
• 20:41
  Injuries what he played. He came on as a sub a couple
• 20:45
  games ago didn't he? I know, but I don't think he's
• 20:47
  quite ready. I don't think he's ready to play
• 20:50
  for the national team and I get clearly he's not quite ready to
• 20:53
  be playing in these games yet. So it's just like you just hope
• 20:57
  that he gets there. This is starting to get a little
• 21:00
  long. Yeah, four games.
• 21:01
  In a little bit red flaggy, because the idea would be that
• 21:07
  maybe he played a little bit and it didn't.
• 21:08
  His body didn't react well to it, you know what I mean?
• 21:10
  And that's why he isn't. Then all of a sudden he's not
• 21:12
  playing more. So that's the concern.
• 21:14
  What are you laughing about, Chico?
• 21:15
  No, I'm just waiting to get to the next talking point.
• 21:18
  The next talking point, Kevin, off the bench with 16.56 point
• 21:22
  five points in just a few minutes, looked 30.
• 21:25
  Minutes. Looked great, man.
• 21:27
  I was. That's another one.
• 21:29
  I was really kicking myself. That was another talking.
• 21:31
  You're talking about regrets, Jack Reelish.
• 21:33
  Not not kind of go and vying for Kevin at.
• 21:36
  All he looks good man. He passes the eye tests and he
• 21:38
  he would have more points for you know, go yellow card.
• 21:41
  This is. Yeah.
• 21:44
  You people need to. What's you people?
• 21:48
  What do you mean by you try highlights?
• 21:50
  What? Do you mean?
• 21:53
  You people watch the highlights so even the corner that from the
• 22:01
  the corner they swore to got the goal from created by Kevin.
• 22:04
  He replaced Alex Iwobi who played 70 something minutes only
• 22:08
  hit three points. Yep, Iwobi last game negative
• 22:11
  half a point. The only thing is like where do
• 22:13
  you play him? Like he he needs to get minutes.
• 22:16
  He's very lucky. No, Kevin needs Kevin needs to
• 22:19
  play Kevin. I think Kevin is gonna crack the
• 22:23
  starting line up some because of the production he had.
• 22:26
  He he played in the league that competes in the Champions
• 22:28
  League. So he has played in Champions
• 22:29
  League games before. It's just who do you bench like
• 22:32
  Troy or? I'll tell you, bench Joshua
• 22:35
  King, you put a whoopie in the tent.
• 22:37
  I think it's crazy that I mean the Joshua King guy, like I
• 22:39
  understand he's young and it's exciting.
• 22:40
  I think everyone's really rooting for him.
• 22:42
  But like I just said, don't think he's done things for a
• 22:45
  split second. You're like, wow, this kids has
• 22:46
  something to him, but like he hasn't really put it together as
• 22:49
  an end product for me. And I feel like you've got to
• 22:51
  get a Wobi on the ball more because that is one of your most
• 22:54
  important players. Why he links everything up and
• 22:56
  having him be out wide. I just feel like and then to fit
• 22:59
  Kevin and clearly he can do something.
• 23:01
  I think that's the maneuver for them.
• 23:02
  Then Josh King, you can ease him in a little more than throwing
• 23:04
  an 18 year old and having him start in the first four games.
• 23:07
  You know, that's my answer. And I mean, I like to answer
• 23:12
  because Kevin's playing. Kevin did not get a yellow card,
• 23:14
  so he got yellow. Possessed 3 times so he got
• 23:17
  yellow. This possessed 3 * -1 1/2
• 23:20
  points, but I I think eventually he's going to crack the starting
• 23:23
  line up. But like I said last week in the
• 23:26
  episode that never got released or rerecorded, never got.
• 23:29
  Released. Talk about that.
• 23:30
  Here's what you think. Here's when you think of a
• 23:31
  Brazilian player. It takes on, goes one-on-one,
• 23:34
  takes on dribble, speed, technique, good on the ball.
• 23:37
  A little undersized, but I feel like lately all the Brazilians
• 23:40
  are on the shorter side. He's a He's a William Region.
• 23:43
  This is William Reject I. Just don't understand the name
• 23:45
  Kevin. Is that how I didn't understand
• 23:47
  the name Everton for a Brazilian either?
• 23:48
  All right. But man, you can't question the
• 23:51
  names, you're just. I got a.
• 23:53
  Question, man. No, no, no.
• 23:55
  If you see the whole name, it makes sense.
• 23:57
  Kevin Santos Lopez de Macedo. He's gone by his Oh, he's a
• 24:00
  first namer, all right. Got it.
• 24:02
  Yeah. All right, next game, do we need
• 24:05
  anything to talk about Leeds? I don't really think Charlotte,
• 24:08
  I'm not There's nothing there that's really latch.
• 24:10
  Who? I think after the Week 1,
• 24:12
  everyone was really hot on as like a sneaky pickup has kind of
• 24:15
  underwhelmed a few games in a run now.
• 24:17
  So we'll see. We'll see what that looks like
• 24:19
  for him. I think people are still going
• 24:20
  to hold him, but yeah, OK. Newcastle won Wolves 0 Voltemaud
• 24:25
  scores on his debut 16 points alonga didn't get a start and in
• 24:29
  his place Murphy was on the field and so that he still has
• 24:33
  it. Yep.
• 24:34
  And exist, you know, Yeah, 15 points and then no start for
• 24:38
  Hall. Everyone.
• 24:39
  There was a lot of chatter that this was going to be where he
• 24:41
  started playing again and that didn't happen.
• 24:43
  No, never meant. Kept his spot, Trippier kept his
• 24:47
  spot and scored 20 plus points. All ghosts or not all ghosts,
• 24:50
  66, whatever, but like, you know, 14 plus ghost points.
• 24:54
  Yeah, Livermento stayed in there and looked really good as well.
• 24:57
  OK, let's just a few really briefly Ziltemon, what are your
• 25:00
  what are your impressions after watching him?
• 25:02
  He dresses really well. We've seen his Instagram.
• 25:04
  He's he's, yeah. He's got some fucking stays,
• 25:07
  man, For was he 6 foot 5? Look, Tico's looking up now.
• 25:10
  Look, he wants to get some. I'm going on his Instagram page.
• 25:12
  Yeah, yeah, he's got fit pics for days.
• 25:14
  Fit pics for ditch. He's got so many fucking fit
• 25:16
  pics. I'm like damn, that's that.
• 25:18
  I'd wear that and he. Actually, like kind of pulls it
• 25:21
  too. It's not, it's like, yeah, it's
• 25:22
  like not a it's not like cringy. Yeah, it's not like Bellerin.
• 25:26
  Yeah. OK.
• 25:28
  But back-to-back to his performance.
• 25:31
  What did you guys think? Good head on he was he was
• 25:33
  moved. He wasn't like one of those big
• 25:35
  guys that just stays up front and jogs about.
• 25:37
  He was actually chasing down all game and pressing.
• 25:41
  I think once you get, I'm not saying Murphy doing a good job,
• 25:44
  but I think Alanga needs to get in there with that speed and
• 25:47
  that's going to help with that high press that they have.
• 25:49
  Harvey, once Golden gets back there, as she think about it,
• 25:52
  Alanga Gordon and Voldemort upfront could create so much for
• 25:56
  each other. I think that's going to be the
• 25:59
  line up that is going to be really exciting.
• 26:01
  This seems like he's going to be out for at least until the next
• 26:03
  international break. Yeah.
• 26:05
  Are the roommates? Yeah, I think to go ahead to go.
• 26:10
  And then I wanted to also give a shout to Fabian Cher.
• 26:14
  The previous two years, this guy just confused putting up
• 26:17
  numbers. And they've also had three clean
• 26:19
  sheets. Obviously, like that's six
• 26:20
  points per game. But Newcastle we've come to
• 26:22
  expect the last few, few years. But Cher, that guy, again, like
• 26:26
  he just constantly puts up good numbers and he's one of those
• 26:29
  center backs who performs. Looks like a movie star.
• 26:33
  Yeah, I I think you're I think you're happy with everyone.
• 26:35
  I think Hall, I'm not I I've got him in a few leagues.
• 26:38
  I think I picked him up off waivers.
• 26:39
  So I think Enzo might have dropped him in one of our
• 26:41
  leagues, dropped him. I'm going to hold on to him for
• 26:44
  another like week or two. And then I think at that point
• 26:46
  that I might consider dropping him.
• 26:48
  But I think he was to me was generating enough ghost points
• 26:51
  per start and points per start last year that he's worth
• 26:53
  holding on to for a few more weeks.
• 26:55
  So yeah, that is my thought there.
• 26:58
  Voltemar to me looked quite good, I thought his link up play
• 27:01
  was pretty incredible just considering it was his first
• 27:03
  game in the league and stuff and how physical the defenders were
• 27:06
  getting with him and how he was holding his own.
• 27:08
  Loved it. Absolutely loved it.
• 27:09
  Remember he played someone that paid 65 fab for him.
• 27:12
  I feel great. Yeah, but remember, look, he's
• 27:15
  playing against Wolves. Let's see how he does against
• 27:17
  some top defenders. Sure, that'll be a bit you're.
• 27:19
  Going to be the biggest beneficiary of that whole fab
• 27:22
  mishap on the trade because. Does Harry Simmons mishap?
• 27:25
  Yeah, because you keep. 35 you. Get the better player.
• 27:30
  We'll we'll see. So we'll see.
• 27:31
  So salty OK. Bradford 2, Chelsea 2.
• 27:34
  Sade scored, opened it. Bradford was doing a really good
• 27:39
  job of just knocking balls over the top and having like forced
• 27:42
  the Chelsea defenders to run onto him and run back and
• 27:45
  putting pressure on them. Chelsea was struggling.
• 27:49
  Palmer came off the bench and scored.
• 27:50
  He ended up with 14.25 points. Kasato then with a banger from
• 27:54
  outside the box, 17.25 points. Nintendo got the assist for the
• 27:58
  first goal. No DAMS guard, he was sick.
• 28:03
  This is the second time now that he has been a late scratch.
• 28:06
  How is it? Is it, I don't know.
• 28:07
  I'm just going to call it out there.
• 28:08
  It's. How is it?
• 28:09
  It doesn't feel great. No, that's whatever it is.
• 28:12
  Why didn't Kukura get the start? Because just in a nutshell.
• 28:15
  International, then wrestling. We played Bayern in the
• 28:18
  Champions League, so I think that was it.
• 28:20
  But you know, it's so clear he came in and looked very good.
• 28:24
  Him and Reese James both came in in the second-half and looked
• 28:26
  quite good and really changed the change the game around
• 28:30
  getting starts. Garnacha came off the bench.
• 28:32
  Garnacha looked quite good in his very few minutes.
• 28:35
  He was pretty involved in that second Chisetto goal.
• 28:37
  He was the one that drove to the line and hit it across.
• 28:40
  I think. I think if if you're if you
• 28:41
  picked up Garnacha, I think he's a hold for a little while.
• 28:44
  Gittins, I don't know. I think you can I don't know.
• 28:46
  I she hasn't done enough for me to be really excited about my
• 28:50
  cute. That sensor, Hugh Taylor Swift.
• 28:53
  Hey, it's me. It's me.
• 28:55
  I'm the promise, May United. Anything else we really want to
• 28:59
  talk about here? Brentford, I think with Dam's
• 29:01
  Garden, it could have been even like, could have been a bigger
• 29:04
  thing. I think they look pretty good in
• 29:05
  moments. But ultimately, Chelsea getting
• 29:07
  that Chelsea going behind has been the story of their season
• 29:10
  so far. They think they've gone behind
• 29:12
  two of their games and should have gone behind three of their
• 29:14
  games with that powers. Well, they're not disallowed,
• 29:16
  yeah. I don't know if it's the World
• 29:20
  Cup, you know, Hangover and they they played a lot of games in
• 29:23
  the summer and lot compared games, but they've got so many
• 29:26
  players that are brand new too. They're trying to get
• 29:29
  acclimated. That just might be the reason
• 29:30
  for the slow start. Yeah, yeah.
• 29:34
  Let's see. How the Nader look?
• 29:36
  And he looks fine, Wasn't his. Best game.
• 29:39
  Because yeah, I mean, I think his best games are game.
• 29:42
  He actually had a moment where he like absolutely cooked a guy
• 29:45
  down the right and then then Pinnock made an amazing block to
• 29:49
  stop a clean like a sheer goal. I think.
• 29:52
  I think Nedo what he he really is going to be really good
• 29:56
  against teams where he can kind of like spring a counter, you
• 29:58
  know, and like against some Brentford that was just kind of
• 30:00
  sitting back and letting him, letting him run out there.
• 30:03
  He's never going to be as effective, I feel like.
• 30:05
  A lot of the Brazilians included, didn't get a lot of
• 30:09
  playing time across all the leagues that were called up
• 30:11
  because they were playing in Bolivia without elevation stuff,
• 30:14
  yeah. Kind of stuff, yeah.
• 30:15
  It seemed like that was a reoccurring theme for almost all
• 30:17
  the Brazilians, yeah. Or most of them.
• 30:19
  I think Jon Pedro is just out of necessity that he played so.
• 30:22
  He looked fine to me, breathing good.
• 30:25
  Not bad. OK, next game, Burnley 0,
• 30:27
  Liverpool One. He's sacked on the squad Slot
• 30:30
  said he needs time to get match fit first.
• 30:31
  A little disappointing because you'd think that he would have
• 30:34
  been doing that at least as much as he could Well, that is what
• 30:37
  it is. He was trained.
• 30:38
  He didn't play for he didn't start for Sweden.
• 30:40
  He. Didn't want for 27 minutes.
• 30:41
  That's not it. Not that much.
• 30:44
  Friends for Sweden? Yeah, didn't play that much and
• 30:46
  he didn't play any games like the Newcastle either, so.
• 30:49
  No, I know, but like to not even be like able to get in the squad
• 30:52
  for Liverpool. I'm just a little no.
• 30:55
  So you're not going to say this? Last week you were saying he's
• 30:57
  going to start, he's going to play because it's brutally.
• 30:59
  You literally said there's no way he doesn't play and he's
• 31:01
  going to get the start. What are you talking?
• 31:02
  About I still can't believe he didn't start.
• 31:04
  Populist is fucking badly. Put him in there and they barely
• 31:08
  won and they barely won. And he must, he must really be
• 31:11
  not much fit to not even make the squad, not even confident
• 31:14
  bench for 10 minutes. Like slush?
• 31:16
  I think, I think it's more of slot doing a thing where like,
• 31:19
  hey, I think it's been good for for them.
• 31:22
  All the new signs have been good.
• 31:23
  I think it would have just been out for every like hey you suck
• 31:25
  your big signing from game while you're starting and like begging
• 31:27
  everyone. Else it's yeah, but he's such a
• 31:29
  big sign. Yeah, he's literally the the the
• 31:31
  league transfer. Slot said.
• 31:33
  We go in, we go on for like 4-5 years.
• 31:35
  We didn't get him for the next two weeks.
• 31:37
  That's what he. Said that's that's OK.
• 31:39
  OK, I come on now. OK, Solo was running on a cool
• 31:43
  -1.5 points going into. The no he had one of that game
• 31:46
  1.5 points. Oh, he had, he had just 1.5.
• 31:49
  He had OK, he had 1.5 points going to the last win of the
• 31:51
  game. I swear it was negative.
• 31:52
  It wasn't. I didn't.
• 31:53
  Wasn't 1.5 points anyways and then the penalty happens and he
• 31:59
  scores it and then all of a sudden he shoots up to 12.5.
• 32:03
  Yes, I think there are major concerns with Salah.
• 32:05
  I think it's just it's a matter of him not getting a lot of
• 32:08
  touches on the ball. You.
• 32:08
  Don't think it's the management. I think the man, I think the way
• 32:11
  they're playing is he's getting a lot more isolated on the right
• 32:13
  side. It isn't going to need the ball
• 32:15
  as much. It'll be interesting to see with
• 32:16
  Friend Palm back because it looks like Friend Palm came on
• 32:19
  and he was, you know, if that changes things.
• 32:21
  It'll be interesting to see with Isaac if that changes things.
• 32:24
  But the way that the team is right now, yeah, it's.
• 32:27
  Concerned. I was thinking I was talking
• 32:28
  more about fantasy ownership but OK.
• 32:31
  No, but I think those all things, No, that's what I mean
• 32:33
  though. I mean, I think all those things
• 32:34
  play a factor for Salah. Yeah, Yeah.
• 32:36
  So I don't think so. I don't think Salah's changed.
• 32:38
  I don't think Salah is not no longer a good player.
• 32:41
  I think that the system, the change of personality and all
• 32:45
  those things are affecting him. And they does that make sense?
• 32:49
  It's fun because they haven't. They didn't play well that game
• 32:52
  like wasn't they didn't play horrible.
• 32:54
  I just didn't create chances and if you look at the last four
• 32:58
  games, I'm sure you guys already saw the statistics that they
• 33:00
  haven't scored. They've been scored.
• 33:03
  All their winners have been like the last five minutes of the
• 33:05
  game. It's crazy.
• 33:06
  It was like it was like I was like, Nah, like I don't I don't
• 33:09
  like to root for against Liverpool.
• 33:10
  I don't really care. But I was like mad when that
• 33:12
  when that penalty got scored, even though I was like, I have
• 33:15
  Salah and I was like, come on, I.
• 33:16
  Felt so bad for that guy because he literally jumped and that's
• 33:19
  like a natural thing to do is when you jump his lift your
• 33:21
  arms. He shouldn't have turned.
• 33:24
  You just took it to the face. Yeah, yeah.
• 33:26
  You just can't lift your arms like the way you lift your arms.
• 33:27
  You just can't. But I mean, has Liverpool played
• 33:30
  particularly good in any of the games?
• 33:32
  I don't think they're they weren't gonna get fine against
• 33:34
  Arsenal. Yeah, they weren't.
• 33:35
  They're fine, yeah. Who else did they play they?
• 33:37
  Look good against Portmouth when they were up to 0.
• 33:41
  Yeah, tell like that's right. Yeah.
• 33:43
  So like the. Yeah.
• 33:45
  And then Simendo slapped him up. Yeah, I looked last year.
• 33:48
  The first three games of Salah had three goals, 3 assists.
• 33:52
  Now in the first four games, he has two goals, one assist.
• 33:55
  Yeah, it's like the client. But I think I think the
• 33:58
  difference is that he just doesn't look great, right?
• 34:01
  Like I think in this, you know, I just, I would, I'd be more
• 34:04
  curious, like the amount of touches he had in those first
• 34:06
  four games compared to the. Triple completions.
• 34:09
  Yeah. Zero points.
• 34:11
  That's like fucking unheard of from him.
• 34:14
  It is, it's, it's all I mean. And it would have been very
• 34:16
  close to 0 this week. I voted for that penalty at the
• 34:18
  very end. I mean, we're so close to having
• 34:20
  absolute disaster time. I think I might try and shop
• 34:24
  salt a little bit if I would have to be like a first round
• 34:27
  pick or like a. James W.
• 34:30
  Yeah, I'd give you a no I. Don't know about that one.
• 34:34
  Keep, keep, take that for sure. Yeah, I would take that for
• 34:37
  sure. Yeah.
• 34:38
  OK, talk about offline. Yeah, I think they still haven't
• 34:42
  hit their stride with all the new faces.
• 34:44
  Well, yeah, that's that last game of the week.
• 34:46
  City 3, United 0. Cesco starts but feels like it's
• 34:50
  because of injuries. Didn't do much in this game.
• 34:53
  Nope. 20 touches you got 20 touches in the game and I don't
• 34:58
  I don't think that's on him because if you watch the game
• 35:01
  yet did you watch the game Tickle I?
• 35:02
  Watched the first half and then I was very, very frustrated with
• 35:05
  the game so I was like, why am I like?
• 35:08
  Cesco was actually making good. What am I doing here?
• 35:10
  Cesco was actually making good runs.
• 35:12
  I thought so, too. And I thought there was a few
• 35:14
  little things he did that I actually like.
• 35:16
  There was a really good run where I think it was called a
• 35:18
  handball, but I didn't really think it was a handball was off
• 35:20
  his chest. Yeah.
• 35:21
  And yeah. And then like he forced a really
• 35:23
  good save from Don Rama. Oh man, I'm blunt.
• 35:26
  That save against from Bumbos volley.
• 35:29
  Incredible. I think Donna Rama looked so
• 35:32
  confident. It's also main volley.
• 35:34
  Yeah, it's also. Main, but like he the way he
• 35:36
  some of his high claims and stuff like he just looked like
• 35:39
  in control, he's a keeper in control.
• 35:42
  I I also didn't like the lineup they put out.
• 35:45
  I grabbed. There's injuries.
• 35:46
  You're playing Ahmad out of position.
• 35:48
  I think this is a game where you put in Casa Miro, you don't
• 35:51
  play. What's his face, Ugarthe?
• 35:55
  Yeah, he looks because he looked frustrating.
• 35:57
  Casa Miro at the end of the even if he's not as he's not what he
• 36:00
  used to be, but he's going to fucking heart value and let his
• 36:03
  presence be felt. You sound like Roy team right
• 36:06
  now. I was cooked.
• 36:09
  I don't know. I don't know what I and I just
• 36:11
  saw on the ESPN where it says the board, the board, Ameren has
• 36:14
  the board's backing support and he's.
• 36:17
  Isn't that usually he's gonna get fired though?
• 36:19
  When they have to come out and say that they have the the
• 36:21
  coaches, the board support? That was an old bit.
• 36:23
  I just. Yeah, OK.
• 36:25
  I think, I think the other thing too is that people aren't
• 36:27
  talking about is like Bruno Fernando's playing out of
• 36:29
  position just makes the whole team not good, you know?
• 36:32
  I mean, I think that kills it. Don't you look fucking good?
• 36:35
  But he was even playing on the week.
• 36:36
  He kept bringing the ball on the inside and cooking everyone
• 36:39
  like. Using we're talking Jeremy Doku
• 36:41
  or Patrick Dorgu Doku. Doku, Jeremy Doku.
• 36:44
  To a city yeah yeah, yeah, yeah if.
• 36:45
  It's looked good, then it's on the City side if it's looked
• 36:48
  good on the United. Side So Doku had two assists, he
• 36:50
  had 21.5 points and then of course Holland two goals, 30
• 36:54
  points. Did you guys see the last goal?
• 36:56
  How? How?
• 36:58
  Just behind running, running the length of the field, it's just
• 37:02
  there's some there's like those are things that are there are
• 37:05
  like like fundamental breakdowns of a team that make you lose
• 37:09
  that like players you start to lose either you've lost support
• 37:12
  in the manager, you're confused by something.
• 37:14
  There's like some foundational issue there.
• 37:16
  That's like it's not just the players.
• 37:18
  Like at some point it's not just the players.
• 37:20
  I think last week I was really saying that this is all the
• 37:22
  players fault and this week I'm saying you.
• 37:24
  Know what it looked like though? It looked like that they were
• 37:26
  playing like a highline and looked very total mask.
• 37:29
  There was so much space in the round.
• 37:30
  The back it was. But they weren't even on the
• 37:32
  line. They were ahead of the.
• 37:33
  Line Oh no, that that goal, but I'm talking about the one the
• 37:35
  one for the reminders when he broke through he came from his
• 37:39
  own hall that. Should have been a goal that
• 37:40
  should have been a goal that killed me.
• 37:42
  That, yeah. The other interesting thing on
• 37:46
  the silly side is the 2 losses they had.
• 37:49
  I think they had two losses right?
• 37:50
  And it was Nunez and Rico lose us right back.
• 37:55
  Both of them got benched, didn't get on the field.
• 37:57
  Yep, Kusanov played right. Back Kusanov actually played
• 38:01
  pretty well. Yeah, he did.
• 38:03
  He did. He did a job.
• 38:04
  Yeah, so I'm. Back, which is good.
• 38:06
  Yeah, yeah, we'll see if he gets playing time.
• 38:08
  I mean, geez. Well, Mamush and Turkey, yeah,
• 38:12
  but Foden looked good. Foden looked quite good.
• 38:15
  Yeah, I think he like more than so than just the goal.
• 38:17
  I thought he had some really good moments.
• 38:18
  He just seemed like he was really running the show.
• 38:20
  You know what? They didn't look good, Roger.
• 38:24
  He did it, still working his way back.
• 38:26
  I think a little bit, but he did it.
• 38:27
  But like, yeah, I mean, there's a reason I didn't draft him.
• 38:29
  There's a reason that we he was out some of that we were super
• 38:31
  high on, you know, coming back from injury and such.
• 38:34
  What are you guys looking? What are you guys, you guys?
• 38:36
  So do you want to talk about something?
• 38:38
  No Want to bring up something from over a year ago?
• 38:40
  No. OK, then let's move on Less than
• 38:44
  a year. Next up, Next up, waivers,
• 38:47
  waivers, waivers. OK, first one I have on here.
• 38:49
  It's more like I want to talk about I don't he's not someone
• 38:52
  that I would actually pick up, but it was we talked about
• 38:53
  briefly it was Lucas Bergwall 10% owned.
• 38:56
  Is it a trap? He look good played centrally.
• 38:59
  I just have a hard time imagining that this is the
• 39:01
  Tottenham lineup that we're going to see next week or in
• 39:05
  three weeks or in five weeks because say, I don't, you know,
• 39:07
  I. Don't think so.
• 39:09
  I think it is a trap. He hasn't got his strongest team
• 39:12
  of this. So he's playing.
• 39:13
  He's playing like matchups. That's what I feel like he's
• 39:16
  doing. Thomas Frank, But yeah, I
• 39:20
  wouldn't 10% owned unless you you need him and he they're
• 39:23
  playing on a Monday and just in case someone doesn't stall or
• 39:26
  something. I mean, they play on a Saturday,
• 39:28
  but yeah. But that's what I'm saying
• 39:29
  though, You know what I mean all.
• 39:32
  Right next one then I think Robin roofs the keeper for
• 39:34
  Sunderland. 31% owned. He's as of as of game week 4.
• 39:40
  Second best keeper. Total points through four games.
• 39:43
  If the car is not sexy, what did you say?
• 39:45
  Karios first yeah requires first oops, not sexy.
• 39:50
  You're going to have some totally you're going to have
• 39:51
  some pain points in the season. But if he the amount of volume
• 39:54
  and the amount of work he's getting kind of nice.
• 39:56
  Thanks Dylan, feel a lot. Worse.
• 39:58
  I put a claim on him and yeah, I have Matt Sells, the Nauticon
• 40:03
  Forest goalkeeper, which last year was amazing.
• 40:06
  This year he hasn't really had a good game, but now thinking
• 40:08
  about like Angie's there. So he might probably get more
• 40:10
  save opportunities just because of the way they play.
• 40:13
  So, but I think I'm probably going to get Robin.
• 40:18
  Yeah, nice. I mean, Villa next.
• 40:20
  They can't score a goal to save their lives.
• 40:22
  We. Say that now.
• 40:23
  Yeah, I know, right. OK, next player.
• 40:26
  Actually, this might be one of my top waiver pick.
• 40:28
  My break is Tyrone Mings, 36% owned.
• 40:32
  Villa can't score, but they sure can defend.
• 40:34
  I mean, if you take they've, I think they've conceded four
• 40:36
  goals in four games. And three of those goals were
• 40:39
  against in one game against Palace where they totally
• 40:41
  capitulated. But other than that, and there's
• 40:43
  other three games that Villa conceded one goal.
• 40:45
  Ming's averaging 10.2 points per start with a -5 in there, which
• 40:51
  is pretty impressive. Yeah, that's pretty good.
• 40:53
  I. Think it's pretty good.
• 40:55
  I think you could even throw some Fab on him.
• 40:56
  I think like, I think he could be like a rest of the season guy
• 40:58
  that you have on either on your team, like in your starting line
• 41:01
  up on your bench. I think like 5 to 12 Fab is very
• 41:03
  reasonable, yeah. That is reasonable if you have
• 41:06
  if you have to. Fab.
• 41:07
  OK, Next up, Keen or O'Brien? I think both the Everton
• 41:10
  defenders are interesting. They play local next.
• 41:13
  I know that's the one, Rob, so wonder out, but they've
• 41:15
  continued to look solid defensively and they both had
• 41:18
  opportunities. Keen had like two or three
• 41:19
  headers in that game. He should have scored.
• 41:22
  Yeah. So I think like that's they like
• 41:24
  they brought him right in and that they they want him to do
• 41:26
  that. They want him to be involved.
• 41:27
  Yeah, he needs, he needs to. He needs to fix the head of his.
• 41:30
  He's going to put fucking really back to drinking if he doesn't.
• 41:34
  Well, so yeah, Liverpool next is ends I mentioned so maybe hold,
• 41:37
  but like after that it's West Ham and Crystal.
• 41:39
  Yeah, you go, that's good life. That's good matchups, Yeah.
• 41:42
  Next one on here. I think this one is a pretty
• 41:44
  good one. Sasha Lukic 22% owned.
• 41:47
  He's been pretty solid, consistent, not spectacular
• 41:50
  fallen player. He's taking some of the sets
• 41:52
  too, You know, I feel like he could be a solid mid 4-5.
• 41:55
  Like I think he could very easily just be a very
• 41:57
  comfortable mid 4. Five, you're playing four or
• 41:59
  five midfielders. I think you can slow him and I
• 42:01
  picked him up in one of the I think in the 12 man league and
• 42:05
  he did a job for me he looks like.
• 42:06
  He's been, I think he could be doing the job for a lot of
• 42:08
  people this year. I think he's a good one.
• 42:11
  Right next Christian mascara. 27% owned Arsenal defenders are
• 42:16
  just likely we're starting if they play.
• 42:17
  His scores haven't been spectacular.
• 42:19
  I can't say that he's been like amazing, but you could just do
• 42:22
  worse. Maybe not ideal, but Arteta will
• 42:24
  try to suck the lifeout of that game so it could easily be a
• 42:27
  pretty low scoring. Yeah, You think he's going to
• 42:28
  sit back? He's going to sit back, huh?
• 42:30
  Try to take, take take all the heat and then try to catch him
• 42:32
  on account. Yeah, probably.
• 42:35
  That sounds about right. Just absolutely just suffer.
• 42:37
  It's going to. Be a horrible game to watch.
• 42:40
  All right. Other than that, I think the
• 42:42
  Ford position is a total wasteland.
• 42:44
  There's nothing really exciting about any of the Fords, but if
• 42:46
  you're desperate through the two that I kind of have here are
• 42:49
  Lyle Foster for Burnley, 70% owned, playing Forest.
• 42:55
  He's had some good. He's had some really good
• 42:56
  moments. He's scored a goal.
• 42:57
  I think he's like kind of, you know, and if like, that doesn't
• 43:00
  sit well, I don't know how this will feel, but Dominic Calvin
• 43:02
  Lewin, 14% owned playing Wolves for Leeds.
• 43:07
  Yeah, wolves. Wolves.
• 43:08
  Neither of. These are great, but I think
• 43:09
  these are some of the best options that are out there for
• 43:11
  for it's unfortunately. Isn't Huang like low on the?
• 43:14
  Is he high drafted because he started for Wolves?
• 43:18
  Yeah, Wayne. Wayne is another option, I
• 43:20
  think. Yeah, the Wayne is Wayne.
• 43:22
  Wayne was probably a good option.
• 43:23
  You're probably. Right.
• 43:24
  You know he did much to the last game, but.
• 43:26
  I think he had some OK moments. He's yeah.
• 43:29
  No, that's not last. Not last week, yeah.
• 43:33
  And then like a little bonus one.
• 43:34
  There's this guy, Hugo Bueno for Wolves.
• 43:36
  He's a wing back. He was a high scoring player for
• 43:38
  the team. Most dribbles, most tackles,
• 43:41
  leads next bit of a punt. But if you're desperate, the
• 43:44
  Wolves doing some interesting stuff for the wing backs.
• 43:46
  They're playing like Invert. They're playing like inverse
• 43:48
  wing backs news or weird stuff. So it's kind of cool.
• 43:50
  All right, another one. Oh, yeah.
• 43:52
  I mean, he didn't do much, but he's been getting getting
• 43:55
  starts. Welbeck.
• 43:57
  Danny. Yeah, but he's pretty much you.
• 44:00
  Got to be. Really, I think, I think I'd
• 44:01
  rather go. I'd rather go with Foster,
• 44:03
  Calvary, Loon or Wayne before I remember getting well, Yeah, I
• 44:05
  think especially who did Brighton play?
• 44:08
  I think they play someone kind of good.
• 44:10
  Look at the top. They told him next.
• 44:11
  Yeah, OK, Speaking of which, let's get into the game.
• 44:14
  Week 5 outlooks. First one on here, Brighton,
• 44:19
  Spurs. I think we talked about
• 44:21
  Bergwall. Well, we see Kul Milani.
• 44:23
  If, where, if, if so where up front will he playing on the
• 44:26
  wing out left? Will he playing up top?
• 44:29
  We think he'll just I doubt he gets a start.
• 44:31
  It's probably likely that he'll he'll get eased in.
• 44:33
  Maybe he's on loan so he's not allowed, but we brought him to
• 44:37
  do a job. Yeah, people you say he's not
• 44:40
  alone. Like that doesn't mean you you
• 44:41
  like, if anything, that to me means you you're going to play
• 44:43
  that player like absolutely running into the ground.
• 44:45
  Obviously you don't give a shit. That's what I'm thinking too.
• 44:48
  But with the Charleston, Dwight played the first couple games,
• 44:51
  Solanti still injured. Like Johnson had a couple
• 44:55
  howlers the last two games. You know, he's got a goal and an
• 44:58
  assist. So unless he wants to put
• 45:01
  Simmons in the 10 and then puts Milani on the left and with
• 45:06
  Charleston up front somewhere, I see it.
• 45:09
  Yeah, so 5 Tottenham players. This is interesting that 5
• 45:12
  Tottenham players have 50 plus points, 0 Brian players have 50
• 45:16
  plus points. Because Mickey Vanderben Romero,
• 45:19
  Vicario Charleston, No. Something like that.
• 45:23
  I don't know. I don't know the exact ones.
• 45:24
  I just pulled this out and get the list.
• 45:26
  Let me pull it right now. Mohammed.
• 45:28
  Kudos. Vicario.
• 45:30
  Pedro Poro. Christian Romero.
• 45:32
  Mika Vanderben. What was that?
• 45:34
  Tico, what are you doing over there?
• 45:35
  What? Was that?
• 45:36
  We heard something. Possible.
• 45:38
  Wait, can you guys hear me? Yeah, yeah.
• 45:42
  Can you hear me now? You're mute.
• 45:46
  Oh, so this is what you've been doing.
• 45:47
  This is what he's been doing this whole time for the last
• 45:49
  like, I don't know how long he's probably been muting himself or
• 45:51
  watching Instagram or TikTok or whatever he's doing and not
• 45:55
  paying attention. No.
• 45:56
  Because sometimes like I have to like move stuff and I press the
• 45:59
  mute on the microphone. I always thought it was working,
• 46:02
  but it's not working. Well, thankfully there wasn't
• 46:05
  anything too scandalous. Yeah, no porn.
• 46:07
  Thank you. All right, let's refocus.
• 46:10
  I think Brighton, it'd be interesting to see if Gruder
• 46:12
  potentially starts in this game. I think he's definitely on on
• 46:16
  track to be starting for them. I I can't imagine that Welbeck
• 46:18
  and Ruder get another go like that, but maybe.
• 46:23
  Is this a banana peel game for Todd?
• 46:24
  Which is is this Brian likes Brian West Ham, like those kind
• 46:29
  of platoons, always like we always.
• 46:30
  There's a tendency we could slip.
• 46:33
  Yeah, so the Brighton is plus 120.
• 46:35
  Spurs is plus 195, if anyone's wondering what the odds are.
• 46:38
  I thought the interesting element here was every other
• 46:41
  game this week has a 2 1/2 over under.
• 46:43
  This game was a 3 1/2 over under.
• 46:46
  So they're expecting goals in this game.
• 46:49
  Interesting. So, yeah, so I think I mean, do
• 46:51
  it that way you will. I think that maybe means that
• 46:53
  like some of those peripheral defenders, maybe not, but maybe
• 46:56
  you give it a go. So the attackers, all right,
• 46:58
  Liverpool, Everton, Derby game, anything could happen.
• 47:02
  Defense has been good. I think you're still studying
• 47:04
  the Tarx and of the world, but I don't know if you really want to
• 47:07
  be starting like the O'briens. In the kings of the world.
• 47:10
  Yeah. Will we see Isaac?
• 47:13
  Off the bench. They will see Isaac off the
• 47:15
  bench. That's your prediction then.
• 47:19
  How far do you think he's like would have dropped if you knew
• 47:21
  you wasn't going to see the field until week 5 or 6?
• 47:26
  Want second round? Late second round.
• 47:28
  No. What do you talk about?
• 47:30
  If you if you knew that he wasn't going to play until after
• 47:32
  the international break. Enzo we knew Mossala was that.
• 47:37
  Is that going to play 5 to 8 games and he still went like 6.
• 47:40
  Honestly, I still think you messed up by passing up on ESOP.
• 47:42
  Why are you bringing this back on to me bro?
• 47:45
  Because we're. Talking about.
• 47:47
  But you don't have. To I mean, we'll see what we'll
• 47:49
  see when he gets there. I mean, it's just hard to know.
• 47:52
  OK. Yeah, we'll see.
• 47:54
  Words Is he on Double O Seven Watch?
• 47:56
  Well, they're creating. Zero goal, 0 assists, 7 starts.
• 47:59
  Are we worried about him reaching that milestone?
• 48:01
  They're creating stats for him right now, you've seen that.
• 48:03
  I saw that all the running, yeah, all the.
• 48:05
  Running stats This crane stats was just got to make it worth
• 48:08
  the while with the money they spent.
• 48:10
  Yeah, I think this will be a very interesting game for
• 48:12
  Greelish. Like, can he, can he continue to
• 48:15
  contribute and make a huge impact against like, but he's
• 48:18
  really good big. Team, I'm going to say yes.
• 48:19
  I'm very interested to see. He's a trouble winner.
• 48:22
  I'm going to say yes. Do you say yes, OK, I every day
• 48:26
  that goes by, I'm a little bit more angry at myself for trading
• 48:29
  in Garner. Has James Garner's been a nice
• 48:33
  surprise package so far in this Everton team?
• 48:35
  He's been taking sets. He scored that goal a few weeks
• 48:38
  ago. He's kind of a nice one.
• 48:39
  I think he's mostly swooped up, but just kind of note noting
• 48:42
  that I think, I mean, Liverpool, man, I feel like this is the
• 48:47
  type of game where Liverpool might sit back.
• 48:49
  It's a Derby, man. It's a big one I.
• 48:51
  Think it's A, it's a Derby and B, when you look at when you've
• 48:53
  looked at Liverpool's last four games, none of them have been
• 48:56
  that convincing to me. They're.
• 48:57
  At home though, they're at Anfield.
• 48:58
  That should help them out. But everything has a good
• 49:01
  defense. Agreed.
• 49:02
  Yeah. But they've also got isag.
• 49:05
  It's Ekatika, Jack PO Salah, Saba, Sly works, they don't miss
• 49:11
  anybody. Yeah, they just got, they got
• 49:13
  loads of town, they got loads of fire, missing a lot of guys.
• 49:15
  Everything that's goodish. Burnley OK, next game Burnley
• 49:21
  versus Forest Burnley's plus 2220 Forest plus 120 Ange Ball 2
• 49:26
  point O What do we think here? Are we like?
• 49:31
  I think there's gonna be some goals in this.
• 49:32
  Game, I don't know if I can touch you how the band was.
• 49:36
  I think like I bet the over maybe 2 1/2.
• 49:39
  Yeah, yeah, I think there's going to be more than two goals.
• 49:41
  Let's see him. Plus I feel like Forest is the
• 49:43
  one that doesn't score the goals if anyone's in score.
• 49:46
  You think? I mean, Burnley's had some good
• 49:48
  moments even in that game against Liverpool, like they
• 49:50
  almost were in the first half. Like Jane, Jane Anthony had a
• 49:53
  good opportunity. Yeah.
• 49:55
  I just feel like, I feel like there's going to be goals in
• 49:57
  this game. Yeah.
• 50:00
  Anything we want to call out specifically, can we move on,
• 50:02
  move on, move on? I'm just curious.
• 50:05
  I think with Forest, it'll be the only thing you're just
• 50:07
  keeping an eye on is the like who's playing?
• 50:10
  Because I think there's you're going to see Ann start to pick
• 50:13
  some guys. The Milenkov inches of this
• 50:16
  world are alarming to me. A Sam versus Palace without SAR
• 50:21
  and Wharton. Palace lacked a little bit.
• 50:24
  I think there's act a little bit of that like progressiveness.
• 50:27
  Jeremy Pinot had some good moments that didn't reflect on
• 50:29
  the point sheets, but I back him.
• 50:31
  We talked about AWB and was he sick or not.
• 50:35
  I think it's another you just got to keep an eye on that.
• 50:37
  I'm not quite in drop mode yet. I'm not super excited about
• 50:40
  starting like the Somerville Fernandez Piquetas of the World
• 50:43
  against the Crystal Palace defense.
• 50:44
  That's been super good. I think if you have other
• 50:45
  options there. Go with them.
• 50:47
  What do you guys think? Yeah, I like Fernandez.
• 50:50
  He looks good. Somerville's been a little bit
• 50:52
  flat and Piquet's living off that one game where he scored
• 50:56
  that Bangor against Chelsea. And then a PK.
• 51:00
  I think yeah, pass defenders are going to eat.
• 51:02
  Last game they also had another game, I think it's like the 4th
• 51:05
  one or third one where all the pass defenders scored in double
• 51:08
  digits. Yeah, So I think that's I think
• 51:11
  that's going to be a lower scoring game in my mind.
• 51:15
  Apparently Wharton will be back. I don't think Sarah will be
• 51:17
  back. So we'll see what happens there.
• 51:19
  Next game, Wolves versus Leeds. Yucky game, but potential for
• 51:24
  points maybe from some players if you, if you're really
• 51:26
  desperate. I actually thought Wolves looked
• 51:29
  significantly better against Newcastle.
• 51:31
  They had previously, there was a lot of new players in that team.
• 51:34
  They had a new striker, they had a new midfielder, a new
• 51:36
  defender. So I would back Wolves to get
• 51:40
  their first win in this game. You think so against Leeds?
• 51:44
  I think so, yeah. I mean, I don't hate the Wolves
• 51:46
  defenders in this game either, no.
• 51:48
  No. You like those wins are.
• 51:51
  Dead last, Dead last. Scored two goals and nine goals
• 51:55
  conceded. Only US Ms. Consider more goals.
• 51:59
  Yep, I think. But look at that bomb Three
• 52:01
  though. It's what it's.
• 52:03
  Crazy Wolves. Ham Villa Wolves.
• 52:05
  That is nuts, you know, all right.
• 52:10
  Crazy. All right, next game.
• 52:13
  United. Anything else?
• 52:14
  What about Calvary Wheeler we talked about as a potential
• 52:17
  stream in that game? I don't love it, but just you
• 52:20
  know, we get. Desperate times.
• 52:21
  It's a one goal and a loss. You know what I mean?
• 52:24
  Yeah. I think, I think you're pretty
• 52:26
  much not really starting a lot of wolves attackers though.
• 52:29
  I just don't think there's much there until you see something
• 52:31
  you know that's. That's that's last season new
• 52:33
  Solan air attack as I feel. Yeah, Yeah.
• 52:36
  OK. United versus Chelsea, if I win,
• 52:40
  if Chelsea wins or draws, I win my bat with Tico.
• 52:45
  If United win, Tico wins his bat, Tico wins his bat.
• 52:47
  Yep. So this is this is a very
• 52:48
  interesting game for us personally.
• 52:51
  Chelsea has a midway game, midweek game.
• 52:53
  Was curious to see how that affects like rotation and
• 52:55
  players and all those elements. United does not have a midweek
• 53:01
  game, so they. Can wait wait wait.
• 53:03
  They might be doing friendlies midweek now just to try.
• 53:05
  I saw that it's so. Weird they might be doing a
• 53:07
  little friendlies and not can. You imagine that you're like,
• 53:09
  you're trying to get back into Europe and they're like, oh, we
• 53:11
  need a little bit of money. So we're going to actually have
• 53:13
  you play in like Dubai. Stupid.
• 53:17
  How is that legal? Like I feel like that's there
• 53:18
  should be like laws against that.
• 53:21
  Do you think they're going to make the opposing team and
• 53:24
  everyone else sign the waivers that if they dump, if they like,
• 53:27
  humiliate Manchester United, they cannot post it or tell
• 53:29
  anyone? Well, the NDA.
• 53:35
  Is not a lot of fantasy advice in this game.
• 53:37
  I think you're kind of stuck with the pieces you have,
• 53:39
  whether you like it or not. Yeah, I wish be strategic about
• 53:43
  some pieces maybe. Like honestly I'm not really
• 53:46
  sure about like you wrote here kittens.
• 53:48
  I won't be sure by him, but if Gnacho starts, I start.
• 53:52
  Yeah, that's what I wrote. Yeah, I said.
• 53:54
  I asked if you would you play him.
• 53:56
  I don't think you're, I think getting this a no.
• 53:58
  I think if Gnacha gets a gets a nod here, I think that would be
• 54:01
  kind of interesting just from like the spice level.
• 54:03
  Gnacho starts, Gnacho schools or assists, We'll get a gold.
• 54:06
  Oh my God, Can you imagine the celebration?
• 54:08
  He's going to sit on the freaking side.
• 54:09
  And do that with like, no, I think he's going to have a ton
• 54:12
  now. He's going to be moving his
• 54:13
  knees really fast, you know? That no, he's going to do that
• 54:15
  buyer. Oh my God.
• 54:18
  Can you imagine? Fucking love it?
• 54:20
  I would love it. Nice.
• 54:24
  Do we? Yeah, I think that I, Co Palmer
• 54:27
  know what to expect, isn't. Co Palmer should be back.
• 54:30
  Yeah, I think Chelsea will be at close to full strength.
• 54:32
  Obviously no, no to lap, but other than that everyone will be
• 54:35
  there. I don't think.
• 54:37
  I don't, not yet, no, I don't think so.
• 54:39
  Like this game and I don't think Mountain will be back to you
• 54:41
  there. I think.
• 54:42
  I think what you, the lineup you saw against City is probably the
• 54:46
  lineup that they're gonna you're gonna see.
• 54:49
  Good luck. Good luck, Tika.
• 54:52
  Yeah, but you know, I mean United, The funny thing about
• 54:55
  United is whenever they get in these positions where they're
• 54:57
  backed up against the wall, they they tend to randomly pull out
• 54:59
  like a something of a win. They haven't done just a.
• 55:02
  Salvage then it's being miserable for another like 2
• 55:04
  months they haven't done it with.
• 55:05
  Amarin man Amarin's lost more than half his game plan.
• 55:09
  That was at then half special. Yeah, another 10.
• 55:12
  You are kind of right. The backup against the wall
• 55:13
  thing was a. Little Amarin just goes and
• 55:15
  plays battleships on the sideline, hides in the fucking
• 55:18
  the dugout. That's what he does.
• 55:20
  So I think he's I think Marion like it's beating this Game 2
• 55:24
  nil. What have we found out in a few
• 55:25
  years? That Ameren had like a horrible
• 55:27
  gambling problem and he came to United just so he could like,
• 55:28
  place bets against United and lose every game?
• 55:30
  Dude. If it's a game where like
• 55:33
  Chelsea blow him out, it's at Old Trafford, the crowd starts
• 55:37
  booing. It's that's that could.
• 55:39
  Be like the nailing coffin. Yeah, yeah, like if you can
• 55:41
  raise your in the first half for example, like the fans start
• 55:43
  leaving that's nailed this coffin sending send his aspect
• 55:47
  to fucking or something. Thanks to Portugal.
• 55:51
  Yeah, I mean, I I think the full backing of the board, that line
• 55:53
  is like a death that's like the beginning of the end a lot of
• 55:56
  time. So I think the fact when you
• 55:58
  said that, I was like, oh shit, I'm.
• 56:00
  Just saying man, you put you can only do this for your.
• 56:02
  Long put big. I think the hope was if you get
• 56:04
  someone else in unless they could salvage the season.
• 56:06
  Because they got good players. Put big Salmon there, Play 433,
• 56:10
  play 531. Where do you want to fucking do?
• 56:14
  Anything but what's what's what's happening right now?
• 56:16
  OK, next game, Fulham versus Bradford.
• 56:19
  Kevin, watch. I think we're all on Kevin
• 56:21
  watch, right? Ever watch?
• 56:22
  It will be. Don't pull an Enzo and bench.
• 56:24
  Stay the course. Yeah, just I think you got to
• 56:26
  keep starting them. I know it's just not feeling
• 56:28
  great now, but you got to keep doing it.
• 56:31
  Jimenez and Muniz is a bit of a headache.
• 56:33
  Muniz play didn't do much. I think Jimenez will probably
• 56:35
  start this week, which is just infuriating.
• 56:38
  Roulette man. Yep.
• 56:41
  Neither of them have done much though.
• 56:43
  No, neither. It's not like you're like you're
• 56:45
  playing roulette. It's not like it's red versus
• 56:46
  black. It's like you're just playing
• 56:48
  roulette and just helping 00 like stomp 00 like, yeah,
• 56:52
  exactly. Long balls Long balls from
• 56:55
  Brentford throw insurance. They looked pretty.
• 56:58
  Pretty wild to watch that, yeah. I mean, that's how they scored
• 57:00
  the second one against Chelsea was.
• 57:01
  A flick, right? There's a little flick on.
• 57:03
  There's a long throw in, yeah. So I I like my defenders in this
• 57:08
  game. I'll agree.
• 57:10
  All right, next game, Bournemouth versus Newcastle.
• 57:12
  I think this is the hipster game of the week.
• 57:13
  This will be a fun one. It's gonna be a good one, man.
• 57:15
  I think Murphy, I think we have to assume that he deserves to
• 57:18
  start, but it's hard. I mean, it's hard to think about
• 57:21
  benching A Langa too, though he's.
• 57:22
  Done it twice. Yeah.
• 57:24
  I mean, they play midweek, right?
• 57:26
  Yeah. So I think Olanga might have
• 57:27
  been rested for that game. And then maybe that means that
• 57:31
  Murphy gets to start again. We'll see.
• 57:33
  I think Boltemod will be pretty much.
• 57:35
  Boltemod is pretty blocked in to be starting all these games,
• 57:36
  especially at destroying that goal.
• 57:38
  I think that left side will be interesting.
• 57:40
  Enzo says something about a Langer playing like cup games
• 57:43
  and Murphy yeah ends up starting.
• 57:48
  On the boiler side, Climber just not starting games.
• 57:51
  Is he a drop at this point? As he in, was he injured?
• 57:54
  Wasn't he come back from injury? Kind of like he's still does not
• 57:58
  super involved. Interesting because he was so
• 58:00
  involved last season. So involved.
• 58:04
  I mean, it says he's still ramping up his fitness, but that
• 58:06
  was on the August 29th, So that was two weeks ago.
• 58:09
  I don't know. I just like even when he was
• 58:11
  playing and starting games like it's he was such a boom bust
• 58:13
  guy. Yeah, so a little lame about it.
• 58:17
  I think that who do you guys, if you guys had to pick a winner in
• 58:20
  this game, who would it be? It's at, it's at Bournemouth.
• 58:22
  Say Bournemouth just on form. Newcastle.
• 58:25
  I think I might go Bournemouth. Like if you're talking about
• 58:30
  form Newcastle, he's also in form.
• 58:31
  They just won the last game. Yeah, but they hadn't won prior
• 58:34
  to that game. Such an argumentative little
• 58:36
  bitch. All right, move to the next
• 58:37
  game. OK, Sunderland versus Villa,
• 58:39
  will Villa break their duck? I just, I think, I think you
• 58:43
  have to be, if you can avoid a Villa attacker, I think
• 58:45
  obviously if you have walk-ins, you have to stardom.
• 58:47
  I think if you can avoid playing any other Villa attackers you
• 58:50
  probably do until you see some some life there.
• 58:52
  This is a 00. Yeah, I agree.
• 58:55
  This is this is the game where they should score.
• 58:58
  This is the game where they should score.
• 58:59
  If I can pass it on this, but I can also see it being a nil, nil
• 59:02
  again and then scan another draw and not scoring.
• 59:06
  And if that happens, then you've got to start thinking, all
• 59:08
  right, go change something, change up the formation, put a
• 59:12
  midfielder up front or something, because it's not
• 59:14
  fucking like it. 100% I think Villa defenders too are all in
• 59:18
  play and I think some of the defenders are all in play too.
• 59:20
  Like you got to start your defenders against the team who
• 59:22
  hasn't scored in four games. That's. 6 easy points.
• 59:26
  Maybe so. I mean, something, something's
• 59:28
  got to give eventually. And like to your point ends are
• 59:30
  like if Villa is going to score, this is probably the one.
• 59:33
  But you just like you kind of got to go with what's been
• 59:36
  working a little bit here too. I agree.
• 59:38
  But also be interesting to see if Sancho gets some playing time
• 59:41
  or Harvey Elliott starts. Yeah, yeah, I agree.
• 59:44
  I think Elliott came on so I think it would.
• 59:46
  Yeah, I think that's exactly. I think you're looking for
• 59:48
  Harvey Elliott start and Sancho may be getting some minutes at
• 59:51
  the end. Anything else in this game?
• 59:53
  I think like there's not really a lot of Sunderland attacking
• 59:55
  assets like even the what? Yeah, I'm not sure.
• 59:59
  Like granted Zaka like I don't, I don't really I'm not like
• 1:00:02
  those aren't guys aren't necessarily trying to play
• 1:00:04
  excited about starting. Yeah, right.
• 1:00:06
  No, not yet. Not yet.
• 1:00:09
  Not yet. Not ever.
• 1:00:10
  Yeah, probably. We'll see.
• 1:00:11
  He might be a nice little stream at some point.
• 1:00:13
  Well, I mean, look, I mean his points so far this season have
• 1:00:16
  been 7.754.7513.7512.5, so maybe there's a little more to it,
• 1:00:21
  but. We'll see.
• 1:00:23
  They've been relatively easy games so far, so.
• 1:00:26
  Saying a stream. Yeah, OK.
• 1:00:28
  Last game, Arsenal, City game of the week.
• 1:00:31
  I still don't know if City is actually good.
• 1:00:33
  Can you check if that like that plus 265?
• 1:00:38
  When I saw that, I was like, that can't be fucking like.
• 1:00:40
  They're plus 290 on Bovada. Wow.
• 1:00:42
  I don't know if they could. They've literally been wolves
• 1:00:44
  and like the shittiest Man United team in the history of
• 1:00:47
  Man United. Like it's not like they've like,
• 1:00:48
  and they lost to Brighton, they lost to Tottenham.
• 1:00:50
  It's not like like I haven't seen enough to be like this is
• 1:00:53
  the City team of old and this they're so good.
• 1:00:55
  But they do have is they're like Holland.
• 1:00:58
  Seven goals and sometimes. That's all you need.
• 1:01:00
  Sometimes that's all you need. I think China's going to squeeze
• 1:01:02
  the life out of this game and make it miserable though.
• 1:01:04
  I will say that's a good I'd put money on C part to be honest.
• 1:01:09
  Do you know how parlays work? Yes.
• 1:01:11
  Because this is a good bet if you're just betting out city if
• 1:01:14
  you're making a parlay. This is not.
• 1:01:15
  I mean, the only benefit is like the last game of the week.
• 1:01:17
  So you could like catch out of a hedge, but I don't know, like
• 1:01:21
  city doesn't look convincing, but had a good game.
• 1:01:26
  But then again, it's I guess you should East side United.
• 1:01:29
  They have a lot of injuries. I I do think this this it'd be
• 1:01:32
  interesting to see if Cali for Cali Fiore gets to start or not
• 1:01:34
  on this game because he's more attacking.
• 1:01:36
  Zach is back as Sergey stayed for this game, but does he start
• 1:01:40
  right way well? Well, he got it.
• 1:01:44
  No, Keith, I don't. Know he might because if he
• 1:01:46
  comes on on Tuesday in the Champions League game, plays
• 1:01:48
  like 20-30 minutes to kind of see where he's at, sets it up
• 1:01:52
  for him to start on Sunday. Good.
• 1:01:55
  Maybe I just think that when you have a guy like Madhavak who's
• 1:01:58
  been playing pretty well, like, why rush soccer back?
• 1:02:01
  Because then you play Madhavati on the left, soccer on the
• 1:02:03
  right, and play fucking as a 10 roll because.
• 1:02:06
  Because if all the guys are going to be playing as they
• 1:02:08
  could, you know, start in the middle.
• 1:02:10
  True. Or you can just play Morinelli
• 1:02:12
  on the left. And then just then just loose
• 1:02:16
  you. Just loose.
• 1:02:17
  Or what did you call the rice was either your false head,
• 1:02:20
  full, full stand. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:02:24
  You know, I I will say though, like, I think because of like
• 1:02:27
  the way I think this game's going to go, I probably wouldn't
• 1:02:29
  start a lot of the fringe guys. Like, I think like the like
• 1:02:32
  maybe even Oscar Bob, if he was playing, I might not start.
• 1:02:34
  I'm like Luis Kusanov, Marino, Zubamendi Rinders, all those
• 1:02:38
  guys. I I probably wouldn't be
• 1:02:39
  starting this game if I can avoid it.
• 1:02:42
  At least sometimes you have to because that's what you have.
• 1:02:44
  But like, those are just the type of I think in a game like
• 1:02:46
  this, it's going to be low scoring.
• 1:02:47
  It's going to be stodgy. And I'm not so excited about
• 1:02:50
  like those guys that aren't like must starts, you know?
• 1:02:52
  Yeah, we'll see. OK.
• 1:02:54
  So those are all the games. This was a lot.
• 1:02:57
  Do you guys have do do we want to do our parlay?
• 1:03:00
  Yeah, let's recap the parlay from last week.
• 1:03:02
  So OK, 14 parlay. We unfortunately we did not hit.
• 1:03:06
  It was Everton, Bournemouth, Newcastle and Palace.
• 1:03:09
  Palace and Everton did not win. OK, so who were those four?
• 1:03:14
  That's just for the wreck because last week you guys were
• 1:03:15
  giving me shit from getting wrong.
• 1:03:17
  Who was this week picked everything he and again was
• 1:03:19
  ended in a draw and then Sergey picked Crystal Palace, which
• 1:03:23
  also ended in a draw. Keith picked the plus 143 dog.
• 1:03:28
  And Keith, it was right. Four months I picked Newcastle
• 1:03:30
  minus the 22. And that was right, barely.
• 1:03:36
  OK, so then going to this week when you get a winner in Bel huh
• 1:03:39
  We're. Going to go one win.
• 1:03:41
  Enzo, you want to do it? I mean, I'm not mad if you do
• 1:03:44
  it, I'm not going to like bitch you about.
• 1:03:45
  It I don't have to suppose. OK, easy.
• 1:03:50
  Spurs plus 195. Yeah.
• 1:03:52
  Is that right? +200 on Bovada cuz that's what
• 1:03:57
  we're using. Yeah, I run that.
• 1:03:58
  I like that. Run that up.
• 1:03:59
  OK. I think, I mean, even with it
• 1:04:02
  potentially being a banana peel game, I think with those odds
• 1:04:04
  it's worth it. Yeah, So got that.
• 1:04:10
  All right, Keith, you're up. That's.
• 1:04:13
  Good. It's not a good week.
• 1:04:19
  I wanna, I wanna do wolves. What?
• 1:04:21
  What are the odds on that? What?
• 1:04:22
  Wolves are OK. Let me see, where are you
• 1:04:27
  wolves? Second back.
• 1:04:28
  Play 160. 2 + 162. So you're hoping, you're hoping
• 1:04:34
  it'd be a little more when, When is that game?
• 1:04:38
  7:00 AM slot on Saturday. It's a tough week.
• 1:04:42
  He doesn't want me to pass one the fuck up the bet.
• 1:04:44
  I wanna do well, I wanna do Wolves.
• 1:04:45
  I, I just, I have a feeling I might gotta tell me this is
• 1:04:48
  gonna be the first win of the season.
• 1:04:50
  Sergey. Tikka, what do you got?
• 1:04:52
  Let's see it, Sergey. Oh, that was all right.
• 1:04:57
  See I I like Palace over United but I feel like that could be
• 1:04:59
  tie cuz I don't know about Palace goal scoring.
• 1:05:02
  Palace first. West Ham, Yeah.
• 1:05:04
  Yeah, Palace goal scoring. Yeah, I think I'm gonna go Villa
• 1:05:09
  at plus 1/10. Oui, right where they playing
• 1:05:13
  Sunderland. OK, this is some Sunderland,
• 1:05:17
  some rough ones in here. Sutherland has not played
• 1:05:20
  against good competition and they've let in.
• 1:05:22
  Goals man, this is like a not like a feel good bet like.
• 1:05:25
  There's the only like the heaviest favorite is I think
• 1:05:28
  Arsenal plus -111 everything. No, I'm sorry, Liverpool's the
• 1:05:33
  largest favorite, which no one's picking it -215.
• 1:05:37
  Against Everton, because I'd almost bet on Everton like game,
• 1:05:40
  like not in a parlay, but just separate, just for fun.
• 1:05:43
  This is like I bet on Everton, like to draw or to draw or win
• 1:05:46
  or something, you know? Let me call Sergey real quick.
• 1:05:49
  This guy. I don't.
• 1:05:50
  Do we want us to do 3? Like I feel like putting a
• 1:05:53
  fourth bet into this is like we're doing ourselves.
• 1:05:55
  What? Are you saying he's like this
• 1:05:57
  is? Say, hey, you're on the podcast,
• 1:05:59
  you're alive, you're on the podcast, we're doing the bets.
• 1:06:03
  Who's your team? Have you?
• 1:06:09
  OK, options are Liverpool, Everton, Liverpool.
• 1:06:16
  Everton Bright, Burnley, Forest, Crystal Palace, West Ham,
• 1:06:22
  Manchester United, Chelsea, Fulham, Brentwood, Newcastle,
• 1:06:27
  Newcastle, Bournemouth And then it's Arsenal, Manchester City
• 1:06:32
  over Newcastle. All right, bye I.
• 1:06:35
  Miss. Close 156.
• 1:06:36
  All right. Bye.
• 1:06:37
  Is that our bet? Do you guys want to see what the
• 1:06:40
  odds are? Yeah, they're going to be crazy,
• 1:06:41
  huh? 4126.
• 1:06:45
  I'm going to be rich. So we're we're putting 40 and
• 1:06:50
  we're going to win 1650. That would be nice.
• 1:06:53
  And then are we Los Angeles? That's fine, we I'm actually
• 1:06:58
  making like a spreadsheet to keeping stats of it for the
• 1:07:01
  whole. Hell yeah, yeah, All right.
• 1:07:05
  Are we done then? I think so, yeah.
• 1:07:09
  OK, this has been episode one O 5 of Draft Offsides.
• 1:07:12
  My name is Keith, I'm with Tico Enzo.
• 1:07:13
  Follow us at Draft Offsides and we will see you next week.
• 1:07:17
  Just real quick, Keith, did you see what happened at the Real
• 1:07:19
  Madrid game? Well, that's super interesting
