S9 Ep1: FPL Pod: Welcome back FPL 2026/27 · FPL Pod

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Well hello again.
• 0:01
  Speaker 2: I don't know what's a bigger surprise, the fact the
• 0:03
  Speaker 2: FBI is back already when the World Cup has only
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: just finished, or the fact that, yep, you guessed it,
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: the three of us have been let loose on the
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: FPL pod for another season. It turns out you guys,
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: actually well, someone is listening to us each week as
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: we are back. There's a few weeks to go, but
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: the game is now live and we have been having
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: a little look and we're going to give you our
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: first thoughts. Firstly, Sam Jewels, we should say welcome to
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: our new listeners as well. I'm assuming that everyone knowses,
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: but of course Kelly Summers joined by Sam Bonfield and
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: Julian Larron.
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: Firstie, Sam, how's you some of him?
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's been good, thank you. It's been quite a
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: lot of football for a summer off, hasn't there. So
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: it's been quite busy, but you know, nonetheless we are
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: ready to go for another Premier League season.
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: Now, how's your bronze medal? Jewels? Oh?
• 0:49
  Speaker 4: Sorry, I mean, who remembers when you finished third or fourth?
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: But you know, people remember France wonder World Cup in
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: twenty eighteen and nineteen ninety eight. You know, so that's
• 0:59
  Speaker 4: the most important on my guest case. But I did
• 1:01
  Speaker 4: think of you in that game between France and England
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: or you know, that basketball match, the the all Star
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: game of the World Cup as I like to call it.
• 1:10
  Speaker 4: The World Cup was wet, and I want I want
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: to say as well, everywhere I went in the US
• 1:16
  Speaker 4: and Canada in this summer, like I met so many
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: people fan of the show, fun of FBL everywhere, like
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: in Toronto, in New York, in.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: Boston, Boston, there was loss.
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah I agree, I mean in Toronto as well. It
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: was incredible. So you know, big shout out to everybody
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: that I met and discussed the field with during the
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: World Cup because I was really cool and and yeah
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: it's great because it shows the game he's doing so
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: well all around the world.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: I just interewed Stormsy pitched side and someone shouted at
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: me and I was like, oh, it's going to be
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: something like that love the FPL pod and like it
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: was such a weird at that moment where you're doing
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: something completely different. I was like, oh, thanks, thanks now,
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: but yeah see next season. But yeah, anyway, myself and
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: Joys have of course been away. I literally got back.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: We're recording this a bit earlier in the week, and
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: I literally got back a few hours ago. So if
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: my maths and my common sense is even worse than usual,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: please please let me off.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: I've not slept for forty eight hours. Thanks.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: That's actually thanks to England going to that game in
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: Miami because they know how to go straight to New York. Anyway,
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: very lucky to do the job we do and very
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: lucky to be back. Also, great to see a few
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: FPL players or loads of FPL players, didn't we And
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: I know there was a lot of you Sam playing
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: the Fantasy game during the World Cup as well, so
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: it hasn't stopped for a lot of you. But great
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: to see fantasy players doing really well. We saw a
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: lot of them on the world stage, and there were
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: seven Premier League players from Spain, wasn't there. So yeah,
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: I'm wondering before we go any further on this, if
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: we also need to bear in mind the World Cups
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: and when we are starting our chat and starting our selections,
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: because we've picked a team and actually there was a
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: couple of players I put straight in and then took
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: straight back out because I thought, oh, they'd played quite
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: a lot. They're not having a very big break.
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: No, and they're entitled to a break, so they'll go
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: off and have a little bit of a break and
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: they'll join preseason late. So obviously that will have an impact,
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: particularly the ones that played with the four teams that
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: competed at the weekend. So obviously the Spaniards and the
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: Argentinians and the French and the English, those players have
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: gone longer in the tournament than anybody else. They'll go
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: back later than anyone else to their premier league teams,
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: and that might have an impact on the players that
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: you want to select, not just in terms of them,
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: but whether you want to select the people that might
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: play instead of them in the early weeks of the season,
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: because that might just cause you a headache a couple
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: of weeks down the line, why you've got to take
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: them out and swap them back over again.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: So it is just something to consider.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: We saw it after the Euros a couple of years
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: ago that we had a bit of rotation in those
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: early weeks as players kind of were eased back in
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: a little bit more and we're getting back up to
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: full speed ahead of the new season, So yeah, something
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: definitely to be mindful of picking your first team of
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: the season in FL.
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: I'm very aware that if you are listening to this
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: right now, all you probably want to do is hear
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: our teams, hear a bit more about the prices and everything.
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: But before we do that, duels, it would be remissive
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: us not to ask who kind of caught your eye
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: from the league players at the World Cup, because conversely
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: to what Sam said, then yes we need to bearn
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: mind tiredness, but also some of that form could kind
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: of run into the new season.
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, absolutely, I mean, and as we said, there was
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: a lot of players from the Premier League playing with
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: the countries at the World Cup. Obviously the Spanish team won,
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: and well done to Spain. Well done to players like
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: Pedro Poto, who was outstanding I thought through the whole.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: Tournament, from a relegation battle to that exactly.
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: It's you know, scoring against my beloved France in the
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: semis as well, a lovely goal.
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: I mean, we lost for Korea.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: I was going back to Spain obviously, so won't be
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: playing in the prem in IFPL team next season. But
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: player like Rodrie player off the tournament and well deserved
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: as well, who was outstanding all.
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: Along with Spain, I.
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: Thought you were Tillment did really well for example with Belgium.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: I thought Earlin halland did obviously really well with Norway
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: apart from maybe the Indiand game in the quarterfinals, but
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: up to that point for his first World Cup that
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: was very conclusive. I think Martinodeguard did well too for
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: inverts in a very difficult time with Germany, I.
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: Think still showed talent. We're so good.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: Munos with Columbia is my lassa with Senegal although their
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: teams were in the end maybe not didn't go as
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: far as they would have hoped. So Sam with Brazil
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: and Brunogi Maresh for example, and and some new faces
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: that we will have in the Premi League like Juan
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: man Zombie who had a really good tournament with Switzerland
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: before getting injured and before signing for aston Villa as well.
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: So I thought overall the Premier League did really well
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: in terms of the players representing them at the World.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: You know, I love chipping in with my England contributions here,
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: but I think all of England's goal scorers pretty much
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: don't play in the Premier League do they?
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: So that was absolutely useless to us in FPR?
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: Was it?
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Jud Bellingham, Harry Kane, Marcus could be back?
• 5:38
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, oh yeah, all of us.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: All of a sudden we all count in the bronze game,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: I forgot the Golden boot like that. You know so
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: well early spoiler, Actually that hat trick might have had
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: an input into my team because he says he's flipped.
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: He said it to me after that game. So anyway,
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: let's move on then, because we have seen the prices.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: I reckon a lot of people might have actually skipped
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: at this point to ignore our World Cup waffle. This
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: is where it gets real, isn't it. This is where
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: the fun begins. We've seen the prices, we're able to
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: build our teams, and my gosh, Sam, it is hard.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: I always do premiums. First.
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: I did that, then I have no money left. I
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: feel like I feel like that's always what you do
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: the cals, isn't it.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: You do know that's more of a Jewels move than
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: me though, in terms of like all of the money
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: on the good players and then the three million pound bench.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: That's a very.
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: Jewels move, absolutely, you know. I like big brands I also.
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: Think it's hard, isn't it, because you go back to
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: kind of the last thing that you knew when it
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: comes to picking an FBL team, so you automatically go, well,
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: these players were great for me last season, and of
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: course the players that were great last season are the
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: ones that take price rises for the new season.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: So it is hard because you look at it and
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: you go, well.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: Last season, I owned all of these players in the
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: team and it was lovely and I had, you know,
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: all of these decent premium options, and then this year
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: you look at them and go, oh, they're slightly more
• 6:55
  Speaker 3: expensive this year. So that's affecting the way that the
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: rest of my team looks. And of course some of
• 6:59
  Speaker 3: them have che clubs, some of them have changed positions,
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: so that has an impact too. So yes, it is
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: definitely hard. I'm the same care as I put in
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: some premiums and then I work around the edges and
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: see where we go, and I take players in and out.
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: And I think with my first draft, I was trying
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: and just hit price points. That for me is the
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: most important thing. Try and hit some price points because
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: I know that I won't get everything right in this
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: first draft and I certainly won't get everything right in
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: the game week one team, so I need to have
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: flexibility in that squad that I can move around. And
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: if you hit the price points nicely, then it gives
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: you the flexibility to be able to do that.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Jules, did you do premiums first? Who were the first
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: names on your team?
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: Shoet Erling halland and then and then gabriel So I did,
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: like you know or interesting?
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: That is surprise?
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: Always expensive, Yeah, it is expensive. Can we reveal how
• 7:53
  Speaker 5: much Gabrielle is now? Are we allowed? Yeah?
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: Yes, eight eight million, if I'm not mistaken, of the
• 8:00
  Speaker 4: most expensive of all defenders. And let's not forget he
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: would be with that William Saliba for certainly the start
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: of the season and then we're not really sure exactly
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: for how long. And I think what made Gabrielle very
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: good as well was the association with Saliba a center
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: back for Arsenal, Gabrielle with I don't know, Mosquerra, Gabrielle
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: with Timber gabriel with Incaprio, whoever is the new partner
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: for gabriel at the start of the season for Arsenal,
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: my impact a bit his form, but I still think
• 8:29
  Speaker 4: that he's the best defender in the league. With Saliba
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: and Saliban now being there, if you can afford Gabrielle
• 8:35
  Speaker 4: also for the attacking threat that we.
• 8:37
  Speaker 5: Expect will still be there.
• 8:38
  Speaker 4: From an arsenal point of view, I think if you
• 8:41
  Speaker 4: can afford him, then he has a place in your team.
• 8:43
  Speaker 5: I should have.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: I guess this is where we're going to differ slightly,
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: isn't it, because obviously I've Bruno is the first name
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: in my team set, which that means you have to
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: you have to make compromises somewhere, don't you. So Sam,
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: you want me to run Me and George just itching
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: to get into our teams and talk about we can
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: do the changes afterwards.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: We can do the teams first if you want, and
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: we can do the changes afterwards.
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Okay, there's the school teacher in Sam. Sometimes Actually I'll
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: do I'll do the right thing, and I'll do that.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: I'll do the changes. Okay, So this you can say
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: it's not as manute to be fair. No, it's and
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: it's I don't want to say it's boring. It's not
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: boring because you need to know it to play the game.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: But there's not like last year, there was a lot
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: more headlines, but probably is worth listening to this, but
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: just to make.
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: Sure you are across everything so you don't get caught out.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: But I am going to be reading off a script,
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: so sorry about that because I don't want to get
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: it wrong. So there's going to be two sets of
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: chips again, that's the good news.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: That was brilliant, wasn't it.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: There's one t using in the first half of the
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: season and the second set the second half of the season.
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: The chips are going to remain exactly the same, so
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: you're still going to have your bench boost, triple caps,
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: and free hit chips as well as your wild card.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: There's loads of change. There's loads of videos, by the way,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: on social media as well, if you do want to
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: check out a little bit more about that I really liked.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: I'll come on that one in a bit.
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: I'm like an overexcited child. Sorry the first one. Then
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: live updates. This is what I'm excited about. Actually this season,
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: your FPL rank and league positions will actually update in
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: real time, and I know that this is something that
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: really annoys managers having to wait after the to find
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: out about bonus points and things so literally, if a
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: player scores, you can go on and check it out.
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: It will be reflected in your total points and in
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: your league positions. Of course, the worst thing about that, though,
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: is if they lose those buonous points, don't get carried
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: away because they will get knocked off. The game will
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: also update at nine am the morning after the final
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: fixture of the game week, so we have clarity, we
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: know when we can look. There's no refreshing loads go
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: on at nine am after the final fixture of the
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: game week, so like in game Week thirty eight last season,
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: all of the fixtures will have time for a final
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: op to data review to make sure it's accurate. This
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: used to happen one hour after the final match of
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: the game week, but now it's going to be nine am.
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: It just means that all matches will have time to
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: ensure the BPS and defensive contribution points are accurately accounted for.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: So yeah, check out the video that m FPI put
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: out on x It's really useful, will really help you,
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: And that's why I was getting excited, but excited about.
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: Before changes to the bonus points system.
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: Them and apologies are really I'm going to read off
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: a script because otherwise I will get this wrong. So firstly, clearances,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: blocks and interceptions will have less impact in the BPS
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: the bonus points system last week and there will one
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: hundred and twelve occasions where defenders earn bonus points and
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: defensive contribution points, often because clearances, blocks and inceptions contributed
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: strongly to both. The changes in the system will make
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: this fairer to all defenders as well. Our center backs
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: might be slightly less likely to get bonus points simply
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: from clean sheet defensive volume, making the fullbacks and goalies
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: more competitive for bonus points. I like that because I
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: felt last year like it was a bit too heavily
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: weighted towards the center backs. That makes it a bit
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: better in my opinion. Secondly, that wasn't on the script.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: That's just my opinion.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: Secondly, goalkeepers will receive extra recognition for saves from big
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: chances this season, and the saves metric has been restored
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: to the BPS to ensure that goalkeepers do get credit
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: for some saves that are made without a shot being taken.
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: Thirdly, the being.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Tackled penalty has been removed so that the attacking fullbacks
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: and flair players should benefit in the BPS again, I
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: think that's a really good addition. Let's go honest, we
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: just want to get onto the price in our teams, don't.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: Let's rattle through that. Go to the fancy website to
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: read more about the exact bonus points and how you
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: can get them. The third thing, though, is the price
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: change predictor. I know there's going to be a lot
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: of excitement behind this because before we'd have to stay
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: up late and you'd kind of have to hope and
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: you'd be looking at transfers in or transfers out to
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: try and work out if your players were going to
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: go up or down. Now, the game will actually have
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: a page dedicated to price changes. It's going to be
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: on the app and website once game week one gets underway.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Player prices will also change at midnight UK time, so
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: we know a definitive time when if you're thinking about
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: making a move and a worried about the price changing,
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: that's when you need to do it. By this page,
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: you'll show current progress towards a price change displayed as
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: a percentage, and our player profiles will also show status
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: messages if a player is likely or very likely to
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: change in price by midnight that day the day so
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: we will always be a guide and doesn't guarantee a
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: price change, but nonetheless still really helpful. There's another really
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: good video on x as well if you want to
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: check that out, and then new uioverviews FBI also changing
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: up how the game looks. You're going to have a
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: UI selector to allow managers to move between the pickteam
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: points and transfers pages. They will also give you both
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: pitch and list views. The initial viewsing can include the
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: FDR only ship and form. Others including the price change prediction,
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: will be added once game week one is under way.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: More in FI.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: I'm not going to read everything on the script because
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: Sam's gone into so much details incredible, but I'm just
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: going to stumble over it and we want to get
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: onto teams and position change players. By the way, there's
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: quite a few on here, Sam. Do you want to
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: pick out the headlines?
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's three probably that are going to have relatively
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: possibly big impact on the game, mostly Creepy Jr. He
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: is no longer award in the game. He'll now be
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: a midfielder. That's because he featured mostly as a number
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: ten last year behind Evanilson, and actually, when you look
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: at that in comparison to midfielders from last season, in
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: his thirty three appearance years, he averaged one hundred and
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: thirty four minutes per goal, which is fifty minutes quicker
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: than Sameno, who was the top averaging midfielder for goals
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: last season with one hundred and eighty eight point two.
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: So it makes sense that he would be a midfielder
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: if he's going to play in.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: The ten dorgu.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: He played all three of the games he featured under
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: Character in the left wing position, so it makes sense
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: for him to move from defender to midfielder. And then
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: Marmouche was mostly used as a forward under Pep last season,
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: so he'll be moving from a midfielder to a forward
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: for this year. There are others, but I think they're
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: less They're less likely.
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: To find their way into reftbail teams.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, I think the headlines are creepy. Jr Is
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: a big one. I know they caught a lot of
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: people's attentions. Okay, then here's the good bit. Let's go
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: on to our teams. I mean, I'm going to be honest.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: My team is so unbalanced. I'm probably point five short
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: at the moment, to be honest, because it's really really tough,
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: and it's going to make it for a good game
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: because you can't have all the premiums. But let's start
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: in goal, Jules.
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I've decided to go for Dijon and Aaruma five
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: point five because I've decided not to have any other
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: Monster City defender for the moment. Uma obviously had the
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: summer off, as you know, because I didn't qualify for
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: the World Cup again, and I expect Mariska to make
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: his team more solid defensively then Pep. Certainly less attacking,
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: let's say than Guardiola, probably a bit more balance in
• 15:06
  Speaker 4: a way. And we wait, We are waiting to see
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: what Mariska does.
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: We City. They haven't played a friendly yet either, for example.
• 15:12
  Speaker 4: But considering what Mariska has done previously in his career,
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't be surprised if this City team, which will
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: obviously be very different to the Guardiola team of the
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: last ten years, also would maybe be a bit more defensive.
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: So I fancy a lot of City defensive assets, especially
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: with a Rouma.
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: I think at five point five is a.
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: Decent price for the you know, the second most expensive goalkeeper,
• 15:36
  Speaker 4: the number one being right obviously a six million, so
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: I felt on a rumor was a was a good
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: pick there, and then I've gone for a much cheaper goalkeeper,
• 15:46
  Speaker 4: which I hope he will be cheaper because the transfer
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: has only been announced today by if weish down. It's
• 15:51
  Speaker 4: for Kine van Houvelin, who was really a young goal
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: keeper from the Netherlands. He was good with Volundum last season.
• 15:58
  Speaker 4: He's super toll two meters, very very promising, and I'm
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: hoping that it will be priced around the four point
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: five minute. He should be the starter for Ipswich and
• 16:07
  Speaker 4: I expect him to have a similar impact than Rolf's
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: hut with Sunderlands. Certainly in my head that's the case.
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: So I think you've don that rumor. Von Uverlin kind
• 16:16
  Speaker 4: of combo looks decent.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: To me on paper, makes a lot of sense.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: Sam favorite position my favorite position, and I of course
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: faft around this position for Ages because part of me
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: wanted to just go for Reya. But then, as you
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: was mentioned earlier, with Saliba potentially missing have along of
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: the season, what does that mean for clean sheets at
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: Arsenal and if I want to go for a certain
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: other Arsenal defender, Do I really want the double up
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: straight away when I'm not really sure about how that
• 16:43
  Speaker 3: might look. Maybe not. So I decided that I go
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: with rotating four point fives because that felt like the
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: safest way to start the season. So I looked for
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: clubs that had good rotation and landed on Kinski as Burts.
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: Who I'm expecting to be the number one this season?
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: Well, that was my question because I was one during
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: who the Spurs. When I looked, I was weirdly tempted
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: to buy a Spurs goalkeeper. But who is going to
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: be the number one?
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: I think it will be Kinski. He's doing all of
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: the promos and stuff for the start of the new season.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: I'm expecting it to be him. He was Deserbe's number
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: one at the back end of last season, even when
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: Vacario was fitting available, So I'm expecting it to be Kinski.
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: If we see something different in pre season, then it's
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: easy to move across to Vicario because they're priced at
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: the same four point five price, so it's relatively easy.
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: But I do expect it to be Kinski. And then
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: I was looking for a club that rotated nicely with
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: Spurs in the opening weeks of the season and landed
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: on Coventry. They rotate quite nicely with each other now
• 17:38
  Speaker 3: at the minute, the Coventry to goalkeeper from last season,
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: Rushworth is still a Brighton player because he was only
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: on loan there last season. I'm hoping that he's going
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: to get and move back to Coventry because in his
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: forty six appearances last season, he averaged two point seven
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: saves per game and he kept seventeen clean sheets. So
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: if he goes back there, then I'll probably end up
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: with those two as are rotating combo to start the season.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: Okay, well, I basically I had Saliba in my defense,
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: but then obviously I realized that was stupid because he's
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: not going to play, So I then went to Raya.
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: But I really don't like having expensive goalkeepers.
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: I never ever do it.
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: It's never my strategy. So I've at the moment just
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: gone but I need to look into like I said,
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: just landed this morning, guys, bear with me. I need
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: to look into rotating four point fives or a four
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: point five and their backup goalkeeper. So at the moment,
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: I've just gone with what we knew from last season
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: in terms, I've got the Brigand and Petrovitch not set
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: on either, to be honest, but that that's the price
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: point that I want in goal and it enables.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: Me to do the rest of my team.
• 18:36
  Speaker 3: I do quite like Manchester United Slemon's as well at
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: five really good fiction.
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: That's not too expensive either, is he.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so I do quite like him as an option
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: if you do want to go a little bit more
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: than four and a half, but you don't want to
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: pay PREMI in prices.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a really good shout. Actually I didn't think
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: of that. Okay, then let's go in defense. So Jules,
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: you've gone Gabrielle.
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: I've gone for Gabrielle. Yeah, I just I just think, Yeah,
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: I just think you've and that eight million is worth it?
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Sam, have you gone there? I have gone there?
• 19:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I have because I kind of think that you,
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: like I said earlier, with price points, I want to
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: start the season with him. Now we'll see a lot
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: about Arsenal and what might happen in terms of what
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: do we find out about Sleeper's injury and how long
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: term that might be. What might the Arsenal defense look
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: like otherwise, is timber okay having missed the World Cup?
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: Will he start alongside Gabrielle? If Sleeb is not there,
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: will they sign somebody new? Will almost go and Pey
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: were one of them. I think there's a lot of uncertainty,
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: but I know that I don't want to start the
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: season without an Arsenal defender, so I figured the best
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: route to do that is to have Gabrielle and know
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: that it's very easy to then drop down in price
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: rather than trying to find the money to get back
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: up to Gabrielle brilliant.
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: That scared me loads to the rest of your defenders.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: So Liverpool top of the fixture ticker for the start
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: of the season. Virgil's too expensive for me to afford
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: right now, so I've gone for Kirks on the basis
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: that there's no Robertson. Simmercas is back from his loan move,
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: so maybe there's a little bit of issue there, but
• 20:05
  Speaker 3: hopefully he'll be first choice. I might still find a million,
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: and if I find a million, I'll go up to
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: Vergil book kirkiz For now, I've got Mitchell at Crystal Palace.
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: I would ideally have liked Daniel Minaw's, but I can't
• 20:17
  Speaker 3: quite justify the extra million, especially as Mina's actually outscorlled
• 20:22
  Speaker 3: Mitchell by one point.
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Seeing four point five millions good value for Mitchell, to
• 20:26
  Speaker 1: be honest.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: I agree, yeah, And you know, Crystal Palace are one
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: of these clubs that have got a new manager this season.
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: There seems to be hundreds of them with new managers,
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: so we're going to see how they set up and
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: how they play and how things change. But I do
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: like Mitchell at four point five. Yes, okay, you don't
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: have the attacking threat that you do from Minaw's, but
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: I like him. I wanted a five million defender. It's
• 20:50
  Speaker 3: tough in the five million bracket because there's a lot
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: of the ones that were really good for Deaf Coln
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: last year.
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: Who isn't above that. Van Heck was good for death
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: Coln at Brighton. Will he be at Spurs? I don't know.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: Do I want van Heck and Kinsky? I don't think so,
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: but right now I settled on him as he's a
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: decent five Let's watch Spurs in pre season because if
• 21:08
  Speaker 3: he is still doing the death con stuff that we
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: were seeing at Brighton, maybe I want him over Kinski
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: and maybe it changes my goalkeeper structure.
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: And then Kels. Do you remember a couple of years ago,
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: my cheap defender of obsession? Do you remember who it was?
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: You have qut a lot of obsessions.
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: I know I know it was Leaf Davis if you recall,
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: and he is now back in the in the league now.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: To be honest, this position could be any four point
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: oh defender. I'll be keeping him with a close eye
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: because last year it was the Sunderland Boys, wasn't It
• 21:38
  Speaker 3: was like, okay, well let's go in on Sunderland. I'll
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: be looking for a newly promoted four point zero one
• 21:45
  Speaker 3: that hopefully hits some attacking threat and has death compotential.
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: That's kind of where I'll be looking. So at the minute,
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: it's Leaf Davis just because I know what I'm getting
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: with him. But I'd probably prefer a center back from
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: one of those clubs, so I'll i'll kind of watch
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: pre season carefully to decide on them choose.
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I've got a very strong defense. I don't know why,
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: but on top of gabriellell No, it's true.
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: I've gone for Muno's.
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: Because I think he had a really good World Cup
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: and and cam sorry, and I think he would do
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: really well on the PSAG who is the new crystal
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: class manager who plays with wing backs as well, who
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: puts a lot of importance about his wing backs, and
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: that's what he did in in France last season. So
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: I expect, I mean, Mitchell is a really good shot too,
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: but I expect both Muno's and Mitchell to be very
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: good in the PSAGE system. And like Sam said, there's
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: eight new managers out of the twenty clubs in the Promer,
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: even nine if you count de Zerbie, who really only
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: had five games last season so he's not technically a
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: new manager for the season, but he's almost was almost
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: like nine is almost half of them, so born with Chelsea, Palace, Fulham, Ipswich,
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: Liverpool City, Forest and then maybe Tottenham if you want
• 22:57
  Speaker 4: to include the Serbi in that, which means a lot
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: of uncertainties too on how they will do and how
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: they will play, And we don't know yet because a
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: lot of teams haven't played any PRICENT matches yet.
• 23:07
  Speaker 5: But I can tell you that ps I certainly will put.
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: A lot of importance on the two wing bags. So
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: Michell and Munoz, I think a really good pick at
• 23:15
  Speaker 4: this stage. Then I've got for Vanka too because I
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: think he's going to do really well as Spurs. I
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: agree with some on that I went for Jeremy Jacque
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: at Liverpool because Liverpool are top of the you know,
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: the the whatever it's called FDR, and because I think
• 23:31
  Speaker 4: Jack is an outstanding talent. So if you can't afford Virgil,
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: but you have five million for Jack who now that
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: obviously Knati has left, I expect him to start if
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: he's fully fit to start the season for Liverpool. I
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: think he can have a really good impact. And my
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: other five million defender is Vuskovic, a Brighton who I
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: watched a lot of Hamburg last season on loan from Spurs.
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: I still don't understand how Spurs, even at that price
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: let him go, but I think he's a great signing
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: for Brighton. He's called some incredible goals last year for Hamburg. Also,
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: he's a threat attacking wise, and he's a super solid defender.
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: So I know the teams at Brighton have been, you know,
• 24:08
  Speaker 4: historically quite attacking and a bit unbalanced and considered goals
• 24:11
  Speaker 4: and things, but I say think Vuskovic could be a
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: really good edition and you don't have to start him
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: every time, just pick the fixtures.
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: But I think a five million is good value for money.
• 24:20
  Speaker 3: I mean treating very expensive defense, yes, and you got
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: to bench some of them every week.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Don't worry.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: I can balance it out with my really cheap defense
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: common then caws. So I'd like to point out that again,
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: a lot of these are holding positions, because I find
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: it's so hard when we're just off the back of
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: a World Cup and when we haven't seen any preseason
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: because you and throw the in this season the new
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: managers thing like it feels like even the ones, and
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: it just feels like a lot of big players have
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: moved clubs as well, Like you're looking at your Cinesses,
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: your van hex like players like that that you would
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: have just put in because they've been great for their
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: previous clubs. And there's a bit of uncertainty. So without
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: how I don't have an arshal defender. I didn't so
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: I've just he's got a holding califury at the moment,
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: just five point five. There's news, isn't there? Today We're
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: recording on Tuesday of the Ben White and Timber. I
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: think are okay at the moment, so I think it
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: will just be a case of keeping an eye on.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: I can't get to eight million for Gabrielle, so I
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: need to work out which Arsenal defender that will be.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: I've got Mitchell, as I said, I've got Nico O'Reilly,
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: but I want to see what is going to happen
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: with him, what position he's going to play, where he's
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: going to line up. I think I put him in early.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: It's the England bias. He's a nice kid. I just
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: wanted him in, but he's six point five million. I
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: could get Mark Gahey and this is a bit cheaper.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: If I want the city could defensive cover. So he's
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: in there, but that's probably going to go down. I've
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: also got Andy Robertson because he's four point five million
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: and I think that's really good value.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: Sam. Do you think you'll start?
• 25:49
  Speaker 5: I think you're will.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 25:52
  Speaker 3: It's really hard to know what's going to happen down
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: that side because there's three of them that could effectively
• 25:56
  Speaker 3: play on that side.
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: But my theory is that he left Liverpool to play football,
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: he won't have gone there, do you know what I mean?
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: Again this all it's going to take is true Spurs
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: preseason games for him not to start and me to
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: just be like see lazy.
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: I mean Spurs played their first preseason game on Wednesday,
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: so after we've recorded this, but before this podcast goes out,
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: so we'll get a feel for what they're looking like
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: at that point and who's playing where. Obviously, I'll be
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: keeping a close on Spurs in pre season.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: I will have a Spurs and regularly start.
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, if he regularly starts, he's going to be a great,
• 26:26
  Speaker 3: a great option, particularly as the others are so much
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: more expensive because everyone else is coming in at least
• 26:31
  Speaker 3: five Sinnessi's obviously coming in at six. It's why I
• 26:34
  Speaker 3: like the Kinsky pick as well, because it's slightly cheaper.
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I mean, if he starts regularly, he's a
• 26:39
  Speaker 3: decent option. The thing is he didn't start regularly at
• 26:42
  Speaker 3: Liverpool last season. Was that because they just didn't start
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: in regular or was that because he's not I mean
• 26:47
  Speaker 3: Spurs have got less fixtures this season, right, They're not
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: going to be compete on multiple fronts and maybe that's helpful.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's basically my defense I do that. I've got
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: with for is it viper? I never know at Brighton.
• 26:59
  Speaker 2: Just again, I want a Brighton defender. I like having
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: a Brighton defender. So I've almost got like in fact,
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: every single player in my defense is pretty much a
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: holding position at the moment, I could.
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: Go up and down.
• 27:10
  Speaker 5: That's great, Thank you, you're really helping the players.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: No, but I think no, No, But I think it
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: is because I think a lot of people are going
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: to be having similar dilemmas to this, and we're talking
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: about teams that we're all going to be targeting, and
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: it's we're all still in the same boat in terms
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: of working out who's going to play.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: I admit I'm a little less decisive than you two
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: on this, but that's my role on this show.
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: Right.
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: Let's go, let's go into the midfield. I think Mitchell
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: will stay the same out of those five, by the way,
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: I mean you are.
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: Your defense is definitely an ILD defense. Mine is mIRC
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: SUS Spencer, and Sam is in between. You know, like
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: said other providers, supermarcers are available.
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: Next time we come back, she'll have found a way
• 27:45
  Speaker 3: to get Gabrielle because she'll have panned.
• 27:49
  Speaker 1: Sam. When you've seen my attack.
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: You understand why I can't, and it's a lot of
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: money to find considering my next most expensive defender is
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: Nicole Riley at six point five. That's all I'm saying.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: Let's go into midfield. Please, let's come away from my
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: Let's go on. Josie firsts who went I can't?
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: Went? First aid?
• 28:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: I meanka is my you know, my premium in midfield
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: and nine point five already, I think that's expensive and
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: certainly I could not get like Bruno at twelve million
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: with what I'm trying to do with the rest of
• 28:20
  Speaker 4: the team. And I'm I was disappointed by Bruno in
• 28:23
  Speaker 4: the World Cup. I don't think this is only on
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: him anyway, to be fair, and let's not go into
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: the issues and troubles that Portugal had during that World Cup.
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: But I'm just not just to say I'm just not
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: sure in what kind of film Bruno would be at
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: the start of the season.
• 28:37
  Speaker 5: That's it.
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: And I'm happy to to not have him straight away
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: and wait and see and if he's the ground running
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: straight away and the Carrick and United do so, then
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: then so be it.
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: I can find a way.
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: But I think I like Sakka's performance against France obviously,
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: but then again, I would have scored a hatchck against
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: I guess my own team seeing how badly they defended
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: in that FIRSTLF. But I think Soaka will be fit
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: at the start of the season. He might miss the
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: first game or so, because as we've been saying, he
• 29:02
  Speaker 4: won't find the World Cup. You need three to four
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: weeks between your holidays.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: Yet his rest against Argentinagers, let's not go there there.
• 29:09
  Speaker 4: Ye're true, absolutely, but still, you know, so I'm not
• 29:12
  Speaker 4: sure if he will be ready for the start of
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: the season.
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: He might meet them committition, for example, So let's see.
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: But I've got Saka in there, I've got Morgan Rodgers obviously,
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: who is seven point.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: I can't quite get him. I can't quite get him,
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: and that's annoying me because I want to.
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: I know, I think he's going to be outstanding for Chelsea,
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: and it's not our role on this show to debate about,
• 29:36
  Speaker 4: you know, how much they paid for him, et cetera,
• 29:38
  Speaker 4: et cetera. But I think he's going to be amazing
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: for Chabi Alonzo if if we get a similar system
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: than what Chabi Alonso played at by a Leva Cuzen.
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: Just imagine Cole Palmer and Morgan Rogers together as the
• 29:50
  Speaker 4: two tens behind the nine in that Chelsea system. I
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: think there could be fireworks there. So I'm really tempted
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: by Rogers right now. I've got Iliman and Ga because
• 30:00
  Speaker 4: I think a six million is great value for money,
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: and he had a really good season with Everton last
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: year despite going away for Afghan and I think again,
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: if he can be consistent, I think there's promises that
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: for me. And then I went for you and Guma
• 30:14
  Speaker 4: because I do think that Iola and la Slot we
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: trust him more and we will we will get to
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: see him a lot for Liverpool and a six million.
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: I know it's a bit of a gamble because it's
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: a bit expensive if he doesn't.
• 30:25
  Speaker 5: Play, but then again you can you can change him.
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: And then my last one is a five million one
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: for I went for on Goulo at Sunderland because I
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: think he had a decent World Cup and I think
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: he would come back like full of confidence and momentum
• 30:38
  Speaker 4: and we'll maybe cement more of a starting role of
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: Sunderland than he did in the six month that he
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: had last season.
• 30:44
  Speaker 5: After he arrived in Genuar.
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: Okay, that seems weirdly quite balanced considering you've you've got
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: such an expensive.
• 30:52
  Speaker 5: It's all about vision, you know, talent and.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: True planning, planning have you got.
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: I'm not comfortable starting the season without Bruno Fernandez despite
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: what we saw at the World Cup, and I think
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: it goes back to the price points thing like for
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: me being able to get him is really hard for him.
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: I did think about having col Palmer instead, he's had
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: the summer off. I quite like the idea of having
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: players that have had the summer off entirely, so I
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: did think about that instead. But in reality, I think
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: it's going to be very difficult to get from nine
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: point five to twelve quickly at the start of the
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: season if Bruno kicks off, and that could be that
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: worries me, so I'm going to start with Bruno. I've
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: also gone for Donca bos Lai. He was fantastic for
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: me in chunks of last season as well.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: I just really like him.
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: He's had the summer off, no world cut for Sir
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: bos Lai. I think it's a really good price point.
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: The fixtures are fantastic for Liverpool, so I just think
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: he looks like a really good option. I wanted Morgan
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: Rogers and I tried so hard to find a million
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: and the only way I could find a million is
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: to take down which I wasn't quite prepared to do
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: just now for this draft.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: So right now I.
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: Needed a six and a half million midfielder. So I'm
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: on Elliot Anderson at the minute, I don't know whether
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: Elliot Anderson is going to be the same player for
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: Manchester City that we had for notting of Forest, like
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: he was so good for us in FPL last year
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: because of the role that he played in that notting
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: Forest team. Is he going to play the same role
• 32:23
  Speaker 3: and do the same things for City?
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Means to be seen, and of course
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: we weren't that.
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: I don't think he will because I don't think he
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: will either And if I can find a million.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: He'll be He'll become Morgan Rodgers. But right now I'm
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: on him.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: He's one of my I mean, we know I love
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: Ingham Blaze, but he was an under I mean, aside
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: from probably the goals against Argentina, I thought he was
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: exceptional this tournament.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: He was everywhere.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: But I watched him and thought, you're not an FPL player.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: You don't take enough shots. And like you said, it
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: depends on you know what I mean. He's not advanced off.
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: He's boxed a box, but he's It depends what role.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: I don't know what Joe thinks about what role he's
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: going to play.
• 33:00
  Speaker 5: We just the thing we don't know yet.
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: And in the same way, it's Rogery going to be
• 33:05
  Speaker 4: the same with City at the start of the season
• 33:07
  Speaker 4: then he was with spending this World Cup. What is
• 33:09
  Speaker 4: Mariska going to do with two midfielders maybe three? We
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: don't know yet the system that City better. So I
• 33:14
  Speaker 4: think it's really hard unless you're a City defender or
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: Arling halland basically for the rest and I guess Doug,
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: who's probably guaranteed to start under Mareska regardless of the
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: system you think. I think it's really hard, especially for
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: those positions like Anderson, like Roder, those kind of guys
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: to know exactly what the City team is going to
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: look like.
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: So I think there's for people to keep him in mind.
• 33:38
  Speaker 5: For sure.
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: At six point five it's decent value for money. Again,
• 33:43
  Speaker 4: but I would wait a little bit longer and have
• 33:46
  Speaker 4: a bit of a taste of what Mariska is going
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: to do before making a decision.
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I totally agree.
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: And then I needed a six million. So I'm currently
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: on Fernandez. He's going to be attacking for Spurs. I'm
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: gonna have to see what that team it's like. How
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: far he's got fourteen Spurs players and just.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: The three all three of them.
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: Course and maccuders matters are both interesting at six point five,
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: both of them depending upon where we are in terms
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: of fitness levels. Towards the start of the season, Spurs
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: feel very difficult because there's been so many incomings. Knowing
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: who's starting wear and what that looks like under Deserbi
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: feels tough. So preseason will be important. And then I
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: needed a cheap option, so I've gone with Matt Grimes.
• 34:29
  Speaker 3: I think in this position, we need to look for
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: the player that could potentially be the next Delia Anderson,
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: the one that we can rely on to play and
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: bring in deaf con and all of that good stuff.
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: So Grimes started every game for commentary in the championship
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: last season. He's scored a couple of goals, got a
• 34:43
  Speaker 3: couple of assists. He also made two hundred and one
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: defensive contributions and he made two hundred and thirty eight recoveries.
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: All of those contributes to the bone the defensive contribution system.
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: I think he might be a decent option at cheap
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: price points, so I've got him for now.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: I'm going to have to play a Christmas Tree formation
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: because of the way my budget is. I mean, the
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: more I think about it, the more I think about it.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: Bookuy Soaker probably won't end up being BECAI Soccer in
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: the end of my team because I can't my three
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: misstarting midfielder, Bruno and Soccer. Yeah, they were the first
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: two in my team with Harland and then I went,
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: oh my bleep, I can't afford anyone else, so they're
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: all still there, which is why my team is so lopsided.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: So yeah, Soccer will come down. But at one point
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: I didn't have a single Arsenal player on my team.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: I cannot work out Arsenal Arsenal with the one because
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: I was risky. No, that's why I have Soccer at them.
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: And well now I've got Soccer and Califiuri and I
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: don't think I want either, but.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: It's I don't know.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: My brain's still my first I've got I definitely want
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: some boss line. I want Bruno Fernandez and then really
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: I should probably be sensible and think where I can
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: move Bruno down to soccer if I need to, Because
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: at the moment I've got two four point five million midfielders.
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: They're just going to sit on my bench the whole time.
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: So that's that's not actually going to happen, is it.
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: So I've done this team like a kid in the
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: sweet shop basically and used all my money on the
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: really good sweets, and then so yeah, it's not really
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: very serious, as.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: I'm glad you said, have taken this more seriously than me.
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I think I think that just shows how
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: the pricing is so interesting with FPR this year because
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: you just can't have them all. You can have one
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: premium midfield or one premium forward, and then if you
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: have the premium defender as well.
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: It's tough.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: It's still just compromises. Yeah, lots of compromises. So yeah,
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: let's move on forwards. I'll say, no, I'm not going
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: to say my first actually gone, whoever Sam you.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: Go, Harlan OFVS.
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't see how you cannot have him, to
• 36:41
  Speaker 3: be honest, then I struggled because at this point, I've
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: spent a lot of money across the rest of my team,
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: and I was like to have a problem, And I
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: was like, is there a full Where's Creepy when you
• 36:51
  Speaker 3: need him? That was kind of where I was. I
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: was like, where's that? Where's my player from last season?
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: That's basically creepy And and I wanted to I wanted
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: to find seven point five because if it didn't have
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: Morgan Rodgers, I was thinking, if I can find seven
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: point five, I could have Jel Pedro and maybe that's
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: okay as a compromise for the midfielder bits. I couldn't
• 37:07
  Speaker 3: quite get there. So at the moment, I've got Mateta.
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: I do like the palace fixtures.
• 37:11
  Speaker 5: I do.
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: We'll have to just see what happens with him. I'm
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: not sold on it though it's a budget thing. I
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: think of the six point five's he's probably the best one.
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: And that's so that's where I am. And then I've
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: got Olie McBurnie, who is in at five point five.
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: He got eighteen goals and eight assists last season in
• 37:30
  Speaker 3: his forty games. It's clearly not going to be the
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: same in the Premier League. I would prefer for him
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: to be almost it might end up being I burned
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: that slot and it becomes a burner st to enable
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: the midfield, because if I can put a four point
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: five in there, then I can get Morgan Rodgers instead
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: of Ellie Anderson, and I can keep Gabrielle.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: Maybe that's a better option. I just don't like starting the.
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: Season with a burner, particularly if I might bench boost
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: game week one.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: Oh wow, okay, Joos have you gone?
• 38:01
  Speaker 5: So I've gone for Holland obviously like you two, Then.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: Is there any Is there any well? But we can't
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: have Holand? Or do we just have to have him?
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: He's expensive? Again?
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: I mean, the only way is because we know that
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: because of his holidays and because Nowhay went to the
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: quarter finals of the of the World Cup, that he
• 38:19
  Speaker 4: might miss the first I don't know, two games of
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: the season, for example, and then if you want for
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: those two games, you can have somebody else. And then,
• 38:26
  Speaker 4: like Sam just said, you work card game with three
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: to bring Harland in, and then by then maybe Bruno
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: has had two really good games for United and like me,
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: U din't have him, so you can bring him in
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: if you play your world card then but if Haland
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: starts the season, if he's okay to start the season,
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: I think it's very difficult not to start with him.
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: Go on, who else have you got?
• 38:45
  Speaker 5: Joos So halland first?
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: Then Beniamin Cesco because I think he had good momentum
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: at times after Carric arrived last season, and I can
• 38:53
  Speaker 4: see him having a very good season this year. I
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: know United would obviously have to play in the Champions
• 38:58
  Speaker 4: leg now, so very different to the rhythm had last
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: year when Charriac took over. But I really loved the
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: Bruno Cesco combo as a ten and as a nine,
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: and I think Seesco just needed a season to understand
• 39:11
  Speaker 4: what the Premier League was about, to understand what United
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: was as a club, and he had a difficult for
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: six months because of who was in charge of the time.
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: Got much better after that, even if he still looked
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: like a streaky striker for now with really good pairs
• 39:24
  Speaker 4: and maybe times where it's not as good. I think
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: at seven million compared to the price of others, like
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: I see Issac at nine million, and I thought Isac
• 39:31
  Speaker 4: at times looked sharp in the World Cup until they
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: were knocked out, but there were games and times where
• 39:36
  Speaker 4: I thought, Okaya, we'll be back to his best very soon.
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: Nine million right now for Issac faced like a massive gamble,
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: even to me, who loves the gamble. As you know.
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: I think Ceesco are seven for a second really good
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: striker with haland didn't look good to me, even if
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: he's got yellow flag. I think that would be gone
• 39:55
  Speaker 4: by the time the season start. And then my third
• 39:57
  Speaker 4: forward is a five million is Brandonton Coventry.
• 40:03
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I thought.
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: I thought you should have flared more with Gonna at
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: the World Cup. I mean, I didn't like the Gonna
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: head coach, and again it's not not for that show
• 40:12
  Speaker 4: didn't understand when he came on. He set up a
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: goal in the only winning in the win against Panama,
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: so it was one of the best players in the.
• 40:19
  Speaker 5: Championship last season.
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: I agree with what Sam said earlier about Grimes on
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: how difficult it is to step up from the Championship
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: to the Premier League. And I usually don't like getting
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: players from new promoted sides into the prem in the
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: team because you just never know.
• 40:34
  Speaker 5: I think Sunderland was a wonderful accident in that sense.
• 40:38
  Speaker 4: Last season, but I went for him because I think, Okay,
• 40:42
  Speaker 4: they start with Arson on away, so that's not gonna happen.
• 40:44
  Speaker 5: He's gonna stay on the bench.
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: But then they've got her at home for Coventry, which
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: I think could be good, and then you can play him.
• 40:49
  Speaker 5: Then they go away to City, so you bench him again.
• 40:51
  Speaker 4: But there might be games where towards the start of
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: the season where a player like to Masasanti is really
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: good for you and actually Coventry are decent too.
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: So yeah, he was my shock. I've got no money,
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: so I need a third choice that isn't going to start.
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: I've gone Harland and Pedro. Pedro was one of the
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: first names, and there is because I think seven point
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: five million. He didn't go to the World Cup, which
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: I mean looking at how Brazil did at the World
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: Cup as publics and even more wild decision. Now new manager,
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: I just think, I well, I say that I haven't
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: got Chelsea player. However I've just been tinkering, so as
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: it sounds, I've got Pedro Thomas the Sante Harland. But
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: I then looked and thought if I did Sacker down
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: to Rogers, which feels a little bit more sensible. I've
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: then got two million to play with, so I can
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden actually get some decent midfielders. Pedro though,
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: but yeah, and that's what I mean, so that then
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: I could maybe take down Jow Pedro down. But I
• 41:42
  Speaker 2: think the striking forwards are really hard again.
• 41:45
  Speaker 1: Because Thiago feels good, but it's expensive this year at
• 41:49
  Speaker 1: eight like it feels too and I just wonder can
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: he have a season like that? Again? Yeah, And there's
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: a lot of fids.
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of forwards that you look at and
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: I think, can Welbeck produces the season of his life
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: like that again? Can Calvert Lewin produce a season of
• 42:03
  Speaker 2: his life like that?
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: Again? So I think the forwards are really hard.
• 42:06
  Speaker 2: And that's why actually going Harland and Pedro straight away
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: was like, I'm happy with Pedro to cover me off
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: with Chelsea, but Morgan Rodgers is it's probably my incod bias,
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: but it's also what Jews was saying about the way
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: he could play in that Chelsea team, and the fact
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: that if reports are correct or obviously Arsenal were interested
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: and he's chosen to go to Chelsea, that makes me
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: think he knows what his position is.
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: Going to be in the team. He's excited by it.
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: And yeah, so I've got a lot of decisions to make,
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: we all have, but probably me me more than most.
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: I think it's safe to say, samra on the script here,
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: who are the locks.
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: In your teams? Well, for me, no one. Yeah, I
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: hope they're enjoying their time in my team, because who
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: are the locks? And yours? You got locks or are you.
• 42:52
  Speaker 4: As Yeah, exactly your team would change as we said,
• 42:59
  Speaker 4: I I think United among the top clubs. United the
• 43:02
  Speaker 4: only one who have played yet, frankly, and they lost
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: to Wrexham and they played the.
• 43:06
  Speaker 5: Team with a bar Sergsy and Doorgog.
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: The rest was very young and obviously since then the
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: signed players like like, you're retilements, you know.
• 43:16
  Speaker 5: So I think it's it's uh, there's still.
• 43:20
  Speaker 4: Plenty of time and plenty of things that we will
• 43:22
  Speaker 4: learn between that, evens the next show, and even between
• 43:25
  Speaker 4: now and people start actually doing their draft for their team.
• 43:27
  Speaker 4: There's still plenty of time to go, so make sure
• 43:30
  Speaker 4: you keep an eye on all of that. But but yeah,
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: but I think there's there's a lot of interesting players
• 43:36
  Speaker 4: that we all pigged that would probably still be there
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: before a game with one.
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: Oh, let's not make anyone feel bad. Hopefully I've made
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: everyone feel better. No one's really got locks at this stage.
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: Don't worry if you're as confused as me. I'm hoping
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: that I'm representing a lot of the population.
• 43:49
  Speaker 4: But it's probably more like Summer and I than like
• 43:51
  Speaker 4: you're okadye summers, that's for sure. Yeah.
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, I'm hopefully I'm providing hopes to people that
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: they will get themselves sorted part. Yeah, first deadline, because
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: don't worry, Gus, there's quite a long time to go.
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: Let's leave it there because we've waffled on for long
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: enough and it's been great to be back with you.
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: I will be back a few times between now and
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: the start of the season, which is probably good news
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: for me because it will help my team out. So yeah,
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: we'll be back in August with the next installment, and
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: before you know it, the season will be here.
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: So yeah, don't mean to scare you, but I'm scared
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: as always.
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: I would recommend checking out all the articles on Fantasy
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: dot Premier League dot Com to check out more about
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: those rule changes, especially if I didn't explain it very well,
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: keep an eye across preseason and of course anything you miss.
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: I'm sure our resident footboy expert Jules will keep us
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: up to date. But have a great few weeks.
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: Don't stress too much, guys, and we'll see you next time.
