  Speaker 1: Mystery solved, The surprise chip is out and we'll have
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: an assistant manager to score us points. We discuss how
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: it will impact the game and our teams. We play
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: a game of buy, sell and hold, and there's a
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: lot of love for the Bournemouth attack. Dun Dun, Dunn.
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: We've got another game week around the corner. But FPR
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: Pod is back with some Well it's not really breaking
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: news anymore because the news broke yesterday. At last we
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: know what the mystery chip is going to be. Welcome
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: back as always. We're here on a Thursday, myself, Kelly
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Summer's guine and Lebron and Sam Bonfield to preview game
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: week fifteen. But we do have to start by talking
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: about that huge news. Our WhatsApp went crazy. Imagine if
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: you're listening to this, your WhatsApps with your friends or
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: your mini leagues. Everyone was going crazy saying what is
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: this mystery chip? Firstly, Sam and Jawles, I'll say hello
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: to you because I've got a long bit of information
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: to read about this chip. Jules firstly, the most enthusiastic
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: man I know about this chip.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Firstly, I know hello everyone, best best introduction you've ever had,
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: can you do that a little jingle?
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: Again?
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure it was meant to be dramatic.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: All right, Okay, Okay, there it works. I love this chip.
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: I think he's great one.
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: It's always great when you've got something new in a
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: game and people like their routines. So I understand some
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: who don't like new things, but I think we should
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: all be excited when there's something new in the game
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: that we love so much, and we spend so much
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: time talking about and working on and enjoying and playing.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: So that's the one thing.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: And really, if you look about it, if you think
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: about it, the only thing that was missing. Really, you
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: could pick any players that you wanted. You could have
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: all the combinations of three players per cleb et cetera, acceptera.
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: The only thing that was missing from the game was
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: the presence of managers, proper managers on top of us
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: being the FBL managers. So it makes a lot of
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: sense that now they've integrated real managers within a manager leagues.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know how to take that, Sam that Jews
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: doesn't think we're proper managers.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: No, we are, but I think you earn as much
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: money as on a slot, but you might not and I.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Wouldn't be here. Yeah, I should have actually confirmed. Joways
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: has just revealed it though, if you hadn't heard. The
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: chip is called the Assistant Manager Chip. It was revealed
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: on Wednesday. We've been waiting, We've known it was probably
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: going to be sometime now. It does basically just mean
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: FPL managers will be able to select a REMI league
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: manager of their choice, and then the manager will score
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: us FBL points. It will, of course be a lot
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: more complicated than that. Salmon will come to it in
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: a moment. But as someone that's played the game for
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: many years now and it's kind of made a bit
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: of a career out of it, you're part of FPL family,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: what was the reaction in your house when you found
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: out about this chip.
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: I think whenever there's something new that comes, it takes
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: a little bit of time, doesn't it for you to
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: kind of look at what does it actually mean, Like
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: there's an excitement that comes with something new, and then also, okay,
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: what does this mean for my strategy? What does this
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: mean for my plans? Because normally we would get anything
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: new that gets added to the game, usually it comes
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: pre season so you're kind of planning for it at
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: the same time, how much you're thinking about, Oh, I
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: might use my triple captain here, I might use my
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: wild card here. And we've been saying for weeks, haven't
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: we on here? When we know what it is, we'll
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: then have to start readjusting plans. So last night there
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: was a lot of conversation about the mystery tchip in
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: our house and a lot of when should it go?
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: When's the best place to play it? Could it actually
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: be the most valuable chip.
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: In the game now?
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: Sure?
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah?
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: And where should therefore we put it? Should we be
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: prioritizing it across a double game week? Should we be
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: moving it towards the back end of the season when
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: we know that teams have got lots to fight for
• 3:34
  Speaker 4: and there's more on the line for some of these managers.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: I think it could be so divisive one of the
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: things I did.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Yet last night.
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: You'll enjoy this, Kelly, because this is how sad I
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: am is I worked out So obviously, when the articles
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: came out from the Premier League yesterday about it, one
• 3:51
  Speaker 4: of them was talking about how many points a manager
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: would have got so far in their best three combined
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: game weeks Eriola at Bournemouth was sitting there at the
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: top and I was like, right, okay, forty seven points
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: he would have got. Where would I be sitting had
• 4:06
  Speaker 4: I got those forty seven points Because this isn't like
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: the triple Captain chip where you'd have got the double
• 4:11
  Speaker 4: points anyway, So it's just a few that get added
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: on top. This is like completely separate from the things
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: you would have got so far, and it would have
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: moved my rank up to one hundred and forty seven
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: k had I had those points in the bag.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: But what wouldn't everyone else.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: Have had the bost exactly?
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: Oh well, I suppose we can all use it at
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: different points, different points and different managers. And so so
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: my point is, I guess, is that if you'd have
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: played it on Martin, for example, you'd have the best
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: you'd have got. The moon is twelve.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: So there's that's a huge difference. That's massive that you
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: can add. You can add them to your score. Now
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: that can massively move your rank, and I think at
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: this point in the season that's what we're all after, right,
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: We're all after something that can massively change rank. And
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: we know that chips can do that, but this chip,
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: because it's not going to be something that you can
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: cover points from somebody else. It's not like you go, well,
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: you know, I would have got double points for Sala.
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: So if I've not triple captain dim and my friend has,
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: it's not going to be quite as massive.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: The choice of.
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: Manager and the point in which you play it is
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: so huge that the rank game can be massive.
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: So we've all had time to dissect it now, and
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: I can imagine people are listening to this, maybe on
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: the tube, maybe in the car, maybe at home, with
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: so many questions just from what you just said there, Sam,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: So let's outline a little bit more about this chip.
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: In case you haven't read the article on the Premier
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: League website, I would alert you to that article because
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: it's really good. It's really detailed and it kind of
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: breaks it down and answered all of mine is your questions,
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: So do head over to the Premier League app or
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Fantasy dot Premier League dot com to read it. But
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: I'll try and kind of outline as many of the
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: key points about this chip as possible because we know
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of questions. So it's called the assistant
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Manager chip. As I said before, you'll be able to
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: select a Premier League manager of your choice and then
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: that manager will score you FPL points. This chip will
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: become available from game week twenty four, so we've got
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: a few weeks to wait.
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: Yet.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: When you activate it, you'll be able to choose an
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: assistant manager and then you'll get that assistant manager for
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: three successive game weeks, and if you choose wisely, you
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: might just be able to coincide it with a double
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: game week as well. Now, whilst the assistant manager ship
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: is active, this does mean you won't be able to
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: play another chip for those three game weeks, So if
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: in double game week you want to play Triple Captain
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: or bench Boost or something like that, you won't be
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: able to one chip in play at all times. Remains
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: a rule in the game. Managers will be priced, this
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: is the interesting bit for me, between zero point five
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: million and one point five million, and they will need
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: to be paid for out of your FPL budget. So
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: it's probably good that this ship doesn't come into play
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: for a few weeks because you've got a little bit
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: of time to work out. Maybe take some budget out
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: for certain areas off your team to save some money
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: for the manager you want. They will also take one
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: of the three team slot managers you have, So for example,
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: if you picked on a slot, you would then only
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: be able to have two Liverpool players for those weeks
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: as well. Now managers will score points for the following
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: if the team wins six points, if the team draws
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: three points. A goal scored by a team one point
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: per goal, a clean sheet from a team two points,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: so just bear that in mind as well. It's not
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: just three points for a winner point for a draw.
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: Different points system there, but this bit as well, to
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: add another layer of complication or excitement, I want to say,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: there is also a table bonus. It would be very easy,
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: wouldn't it to go with my previous example of slot
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: Arteta maybe or maybe not the moment Pep Quardiola. But
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: if your chosen manager faces a club ranked at least
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: five places higher in the Premier League table at the
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: start of the game week, you get an extra ten
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: points for a win, so sixteen in total, or an
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: additional five points for a draw, so eight in totals.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: There's a little bit of an incentive there to try
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: and be creative, maybe to try and pick up on
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: a good fixture run and not just go for the
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: obvious managers who tend to win week in week out.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: I think I've gone through most of it there, Geors,
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: Do you have any more questions when it comes to there?
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: There's one other thing that we need to add is
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: that you can change the You can change the manager.
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: It would cost you a transfer, So if you have
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: a transfer left for example, or as well if you
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: don't have a transfer left. So if let's say I
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: don't know, you picked on the slot is a good example,
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: and then that first game for Liverpool anouncer doesn't go
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: like you are planned to go, like you were hoping
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: to go, and you fancy the next picture for Mikl
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: Bournemouth or whatever, then you can still make that switch,
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: which I think is a good thing because instead of
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: being just have locked in that manager for three games
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: and and feeling maybe after a bit like for the
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: player you sign, you we add the player to our
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: squad and to our team, and then he actually hasn't
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: returned like we wanted, you can still straight after let
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: him go and get somebody else.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: It would just cost you a transfer man's phone. While
• 8:37
  Speaker 3: you can do the same with your manager.
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: So it's okay if the first game doesn't go according
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: to plan, you can still change or keep faith obviously
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: in the guy that you picked the first time. But
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: I like the fact that there's a bit of flexibility
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: as well with that ship.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I think that's that's a really important point, isn't it, Sam,
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Because you could you could go in and think that Bournemouth.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: I think Iraila is a really interesting one that you
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: use the example of before, because Iraula is someone that
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: stands out to me Bournemouth and go and beat bigger
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: teams and will often get results that you don't expect
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: them to. But equally, after one game week, maybe Semni
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: or maybe someone gets a key injury and you think,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: I don't know how they're going to do the next
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: couple of weeks. It is good to know we can
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: kind of change our mind, as we can when we
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: make normal transfers.
• 9:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and we saw this weekend right, we had a
• 9:17
  Speaker 4: postponement of a game, so yeah, really good example that
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: came for the weather. So you want to be able
• 9:22
  Speaker 4: to make sure that you can maximize that chip, particularly
• 9:24
  Speaker 4: as it's not just for one week, because it's going
• 9:27
  Speaker 4: to cover those three weeks.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: It is important.
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I think for me, there's a number
• 9:31
  Speaker 4: of factors at play, and right now with the way
• 9:34
  Speaker 4: the Premier League is, if you were to go for
• 9:37
  Speaker 4: Eddie Howe, for example, against Brighton, there's five places between them.
• 9:41
  Speaker 4: If Newcastle beat Brighton, he'd get an additional ten points,
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: and so you can play this really clever. You're not
• 9:47
  Speaker 4: necessarily having to go for a manager. That's a complete risk.
• 9:51
  Speaker 4: You can pick somebody that should win that fixture, but
• 9:54
  Speaker 4: just league table position at the moment doesn't quite lend
• 9:56
  Speaker 4: itself to that.
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: You also can't am I right, Sam, You can't have
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: a manager for a game week and then think, oh,
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: actually I want to use this later in the season
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: once it's active. It's active, isn't It's not a case
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: if you can use it as three separate weeks as well.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: I think that's something I saw a couple of people saying, yeah,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: that's right, it has to be consecutive. Yeah. Producer Jesse,
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: who as we know is actually I don't know if
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: you do know, it's actually getting better at FPL these days.
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: He had a good question as well, does your team
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: and the rest of FPL carry on as normal when
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: you have the manager, Sam. Yeah, everything else, everything else
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: we meant by that. But I'm here to represent.
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: The people, and if someone's got a question, I ask
• 10:35
  Speaker 4: it a bit like the triple Captain, Like when that's active,
• 10:38
  Speaker 4: everything else stays the same. It's just that you get
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: additional points for your captain. It's the same here. Everything
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: else will be the same unless you decide to use
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: your transfer and your manager. Everything else days the same,
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: and you just would score points as usual.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Talent planning and vision man in the corner. Where does this?
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Obviously you've got all of your chips left, haven't you.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: We'll have your second World card of course, now he's
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: got that yet. Sam's the only one on this podcast
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: as triple Captain. So now we've got to think about
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: the fact that we've got you and I have got
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: bench boost free, and we've got a triple Captain, and
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: we've got another chip as well. And I mentioned before
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: double game weeks, will this be more of a priorities
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: playing a double game week for me? It's tough to
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: kind of rank them at the moment.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, maybe, I think I think that's the most exciting
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: thing for me. With this new chip is all the
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: strategy that you'll have to think and actually have two
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: proper and now we are this is serious to plan
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: and to just have a clear idea of what you
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: want to do and where you want to play this.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: I think there's there's maybe a good strategy there by
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: playing your World Cards quite close to then your assistant
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: manager chip in the sense that you get your World
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: Card team ready and especially for the fixture list that
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: you picked and the manager that you picked for example,
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: and also because your manager will be part of your
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: three members of club if you want in your squads.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: So if you play your World Cards and you know
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: you want slots because the fixtures are good and you
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: fancy them, and you play safe in a way, so okay,
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: you might miss out on the extra points that you
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: would get if you get a manager below in the
• 12:10
  Speaker 2: table that beats a team above, like we've just explained.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: But let's say slot, you know that you will have
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: Salas slot and then a third Liverpool and then that's
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: that's locked on really with your wild card. I think
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: that's a massive help. And also to find the money,
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: I guess Slot will be one point five million, like
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: the top top managers, and we don't know some when
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: those prices will be revealed.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was another question. I think it's really important.
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: So the manager is going to be priced between zero
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: point five and one point five. Do we have any
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: indication as to when these prices are going to be
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: revealed to No.
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: They just said that it will be out soon, So
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: I suspect it will be closer to Game week twenty four.
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: It's quite busy time fresh pail managers at the moment,
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: isn't it, planning for Christmas and all of that stuff.
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: So I suspect that as we get closer to game
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: week twenty four, we'll see an update in the app
• 12:51
  Speaker 4: and in the website, and the managers will appear as
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: an option, and then we'll get their prices.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: I guess that's how they'll do it.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: But you know, pretty much would be the one on five.
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: Then you will have maybe you soler. Those kind of
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: managers are one way, they're.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: The kind of managers that are interesting to me, Jules.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: I don't know about you, guys, but from early the
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: prices depend on it so much. We can't plan until
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: we know those prices. But as you said, Jewels, we
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: can we can have a good guess my early kind
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: of indication is I would like to do a Hurtzler
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: or someone like that, or I guess maybe use it
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: later in the season when there's a team that maybe
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: is playing for survival, that maybe there's always that one
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: team that's trying to stay in the Premier League that
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden picks up a few good results,
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: aren't they like, maybe it'll be ipswitch. I don't know.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: I'm just using it as an example. They're the kind
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: of managers. I'm not dismissing a slot, but you're going
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: to have to play pay a premium for a manager
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: that isn't going to be playing a team five teams
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: above them, So you're already not going to be able
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: to get those points, do you know what I mean?
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah? Absolutely.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: And also I think I think before some goes, I
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: think also look carefully at the fixtures, because in your
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: in your three fixture bracket, really for that for that chip,
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: and again we said you can change and if you're
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: very smart and you've banked enough transfer that you have
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: in the bank, then you can also.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: Change twice your manager.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: So your first fixture looks really good for Irala against
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: the top team and you want the extra point. The
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: second fixture in that three game week bracket is really
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: good for McKenna Ipswich because I don't know they play Spurs,
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: and Spurs having the time that you play the Chip
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: havn't been great for example. And then the third the
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: third game in that three gamework bracket, again.
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: It's good for somebody else.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: So if you have two free transfer that you can use,
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: you can use them all on your managers if you
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: have enough money and you have jet et cetera. So
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: but look carefully at those those those fixtures.
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: And whenever you feelish the right time, you go for it.
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: But that's why I think it's really exciting because the
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: strategy part of the game, which really all the game
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: is about strategy. When we put a player in, when
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: you think about Holent, you know you predict him to score.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: That's why he's in your team. It's the same with
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: the manager.
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: It's a bit like getting the predictions right for your
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: with the Promier League or I think he will do
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: well in that game, I think they can win.
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: So then is it's going to be really really exciting.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: Sam we joked last night that we didn't believe that
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: Jewels would have even read the article. But honestly, you've
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: impressed me this morning because you've dissected it, you've understood it,
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: you've thought how it relates to your team, and I
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: think you've maybe made me realize as well. It was
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: quite overwhelming when that chip came out yesterday. None of
• 15:18
  Speaker 1: us knew it was going to come out yesterday afternoon.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: It just landed there on our social media feeds, and
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: it felt like quite a lot to process. But actually,
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: when you break it down, it is really exciting. I
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: was excited by it because I love the idea we'd
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: never have managers in the games, but I was a
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: bit like, oh my goodness, how am I going to
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: factor this into my thinking. We don't have to think
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: about it until after Christmas. You're right Sam saying that
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: you can kind of maybe start thinking about your budget.
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: That's the only thing as someone that doesn't have the
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: best team value because I didn't have the best starts
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: of the season. I have been trying to work on
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: that in the last few weeks and get better on
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: getting price rises and things. But it's something to really
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: bear in mind over these Christmas periods when prices are
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: going up and down, to remember that all of a sudden,
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: we've got to find this extra money and we've got
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: to start moving it out of our teams into our
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: banking anticipation of this.
• 16:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think forward planning is really important. I mean,
• 16:03
  Speaker 4: it is an fpl right, as Jules Well knows from
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: his talent and planning and all.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: I know, I really thought you were talking about me.
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: I am always, but I think it's even more important
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: now because they're going to take one of your three
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: slots in your team. So for me, if I wanted
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: to own Arteta right now, I couldn't because I have
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: three arsenal players in my team.
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: So you have to kind of start thinking about that.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: You have to think about at the moment.
• 16:26
  Speaker 4: In my bank, I've got zero point nine, so I
• 16:29
  Speaker 4: only need to find zero point one to probably afford
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: that middle bracket of managers. And that's where I think
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: the value is going to be in this chip. I
• 16:36
  Speaker 4: don't think it's going to be in the slots and
• 16:39
  Speaker 4: the artetas because you may get your three wins and
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: you may get your multiple goals and maybe some clean sheets.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: But for me, I think I quite like the risk.
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: I quite like paying my triple captain in a week
• 16:54
  Speaker 4: when no one else is doing it again on a
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: player that nobody else is chasing.
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: I wondered how you felt about having played your triple
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: captain in a way. Does it maybe make it easier
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: for you with this maybe?
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah, because you know you've you're only going to get
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: so many double game weeks this season, and we've known
• 17:10
  Speaker 4: that all along, Right, the double game weeks are going
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: to be slightly more at a premium, so we're expecting
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: there to be a couple probably in game weeks thirty
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: three and thirty six, because we're expecting obviously a couple
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: of blanks for mostly for cup finals to be fair.
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: So twenty yeah, twenty nine and thirty four. So because
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: those two now, the positive thing here is we're talking
• 17:33
  Speaker 4: about blocks of three game week so the thirty three
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: and thirty six double could not come together, so you
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: couldn't get five fixtures on what we're thinking about right now.
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: But then we have incidents like we had at the
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: weekend that we've just had where the Everton Liverpool game
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: has been postponed for unforeseen circumstances with the storm that
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: we had here in the UK, so that game has
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: got to slot in somewhere. There's a lot of conversation
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: about where that might go, and a lot of people
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: suggesting maybe it goes into get week twenty four or
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: twenty five because of midweek availability for those two clubs
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: at that point in the season.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: So there's an.
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: Opportunity to use it there. But if you also want
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: to use your free hit in a double game week,
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: and you also want to use your bench boost in
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: a double game week, that would leave you probably unable
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: to use your triple captain. So there's going to be
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: a chip that has to be played outside of a
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: double Maybe the obvious one to do there is to
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: use your free hit and to use it in one
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: of the blank game weeks to help you cover that.
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: But I think this one fits really nicey if you
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: use it in conjunction with some of the others, so
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: you could feasibly use the budget to buy your manager
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: straight after that window, wildcard your team, and then bench
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: boost them after that when you've redistributed that money out
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: of your manager and maybe used it to buy another
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: player slot from that team. I think what we'll see
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: is a lot of managers running chips back to back
• 18:53
  Speaker 4: across the second half of the season because we have
• 18:56
  Speaker 4: only got a limited number of game weeks that we
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: can use all of this stuff in. And if you
• 19:00
  Speaker 4: want to maximize each and every one of them, then
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: I think you're gonna have to think quite carefully and
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: plan for it.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: Kelly loves that she's going to play all of them,
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: like literally again with thirty five, thirty six, thirty seven,
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: thirty it's a dream.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: Comes because it's not because it's going to force my
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: hand a bit more. Actually you laugh about it being
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: dream come true. But because it covers three game weeks,
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: it means I don't leave.
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: Three from from thirty three, four five and then six,
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: seven eight the other three chip cares.
• 19:26
  Speaker 4: I actually think that this one if you're if you're
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: that way inclined and you like to leave your chip late,
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: which I know you don't.
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: Like doing it.
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: It's my resolution, but this chip actually might work quite
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: nicely then because if you played it in game week
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: thirty six, for example.
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: Brent don't encourage me to leave. Brentford have great.
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: Fixtures, so their last three fixturess which for the Wolves,
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: so they have great fixtures to end.
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry if even you looked at the last three fixtures, I.
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: Love yeah, but again I like the idea of changing.
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: No.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: I like the ide of changing because I think if
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: really you push the strategy far, you use some of
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: your free transfer and change and just target, especially with
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: the extra points, target the games, and you could have
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: three different managers and I would love that. Imagine there's
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: somebody somewhere who will get three different managers with three
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: wins against the team, and it's just going to rank
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: the points so much because that can take you to
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: twenty five points each time.
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: Sam pretty much and Jos and I interrupted you them
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: because we were mocking your forward planning. I've forgotten what
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: were you saying.
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: Sorry, Well, it's just that, you know, in those last
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: three weeks of the season, a lot of things happen.
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: One you can write out some teams because, as we say,
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: they go on the beach and they're not you know,
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: they've got nothing to fight for. But you've got other
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: teams that will be the exact opposite of that. They're
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: going to be the ones that are fighting against relegation.
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: And those teams are definitely going to have the opportunity
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: for the bonus because they're going to be playing teams
• 20:59
  Speaker 4: probably five above them in the league, so you can
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: target those. You're going to have the ones that are
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: fighting for European slots and therefore have that additional motivation.
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: And these are also if you're talking about that kind
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: of middle bracket of team and the teams towards the
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: low end of the table, they are unlikely to be
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: teams that you have troubled up on, so it's unlikely
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: to have to use other transfers to deal with taken
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: out a player to get the manager instead. So there's
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: something really quite nice about getting to the end of
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: the season and having this chip for the last three
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: weeks because it does mean you can really focus in
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: on who's got the incentive at this point in the season,
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: where are the players playing in terms of the lead
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: position of the team that they're facing, and is there
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: something massively riding on it. So I quite like the
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: idea of thirty six.
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: It's amazing It's.
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: Going to be me, isn't it? So I think that
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: kind of covers off most of the talking points. Is
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: there anything else wanted to discuss or outline sam that
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: you think maybe we've missed.
• 22:03
  Speaker 3: No.
• 22:03
  Speaker 4: I think the thing to say is just to look
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: carefully at the blocks of fixtures and if you can
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: and you want to just be because is absolutely a
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: valid strategy to go I really love my Premier League manager.
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: Like if you are new to this, like genuinely could
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: like I mean, I'm not going to likely unless we
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: have a massive turnaround at Spurs. But if you get
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: like Thomas Frank for example, that's got some home fixtures
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: all back to back, we know how good Brentford are
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: at home. If you're a Brentford fan and you just
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: want to go I never get the opportunity to do this,
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: I want to pick my manager, then that's also a
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: valuable strategy.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: You just have to.
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: Look for the moments in the season where you want
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: to play that chip and you could find a block
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: of fixtures that look really nice for Brentford if they're
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: your team and that's how you want to do it.
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: Or you can do what Joe says and Hokey Koch
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: around and try and maximize points returns. It's what I
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: like about this chip is so much difference in what
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: people might do that I think the points returns that
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: people can get from it will be massively divisive and
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: that could mean the difference between winning and losing mini league.
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: So really just think about it, think about it until
• 23:11
  Speaker 1: you do it.
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: It's an absolutely The.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: One thing I would say as well is don't panic guys.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: It can film quite overwhelming at this time of year
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: with all of the deadlines. This isn't coming in until
• 23:19
  Speaker 1: Game week twenty four, so do remember that. And when
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: you come to think about it again, maybe game week
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: twenty two, twenty three, when it starts to be on
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: your radar, remember this podcast will still be in your feed.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: It's the game week What game week be on sixteen sixteen?
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: In sixteen That says it all. The fact that I
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: don't know which game week it is. It's the Game
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Week sixteen preview pod. It's Thursday, the twelfth of December.
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: To just go back in the first twenty minutes. We've
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: got all of this banked here for you so you
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: can refer back to it and hopefully we've answered as
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: many of the questions that you do have. But like
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: I said, check out that article on the Premier League
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: gap and on Fantasy Dot Premier League dot Com as well,
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: and all of the answers I think should be in
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: that article.
• 23:54
  Speaker 3: Two.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: Well, we're not just here to provide info on the
• 23:56
  Speaker 1: mystery chip, ah. We are also a preview podcast for
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: the Game week Ahead, which we've just discovered is game
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: week sixteen, and so just a quick recap then on
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Game week fifteen, which is of course where we normally
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: start off our podcast. So just an update for you
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: on how everyone did. Sam is of course leading the
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: way in our mini leads. You've got fifty two points,
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: which means she's on nine hundred and one overall. The
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: big talking point for me, obviously, I'm going to say
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: this is the fact that I'm now up to second
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: eight hundred and seventy six points. I got seventy three points,
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: which does mean that I clawed back twenty one points
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: on Sam Bonfield this week. I mean I am still
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: twenty six points, twenty five points, sorry behind you, but yeah,
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: finally getting some good returns. I think that's three weeks
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: in a row now, might have beaten both of you. Actually,
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: Ian's sitting in thirties on eight hundred and sixty five,
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: I'm sixty one points, and Jewels is in fourth on
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: eight hundred and fifty eight points. You've got sixty four
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: last week. I'm quite pleasing myself because I was at
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: two point eight million. I was having a disaster of
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: a season and I've gone up to about one point
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: five now, having a steady climb. Still not where I
• 25:01
  Speaker 1: want to be, but yeah, things going not too badly.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: And only had ten players. Jeeles, you had your actually
• 25:07
  Speaker 1: know sorry, Sam had her heads in her hands when
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: I said that Jewels will start with you. We'll go
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: from bottom up, shall we.
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's okay because it's three green hours in a
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: rona and it's really good even if somehow you beat
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: us with ten players.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: I mean, you were so jammy?
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: How was I jammy? Can I just point out I
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: did a last minute panic transfer, of course, sold I
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: sold Rico Lewis for Kirkez at Bournemouth. If I hadn't
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: have sold Rico Lewis I would have obviously. I know
• 25:34
  Speaker 1: he got sent off, but he got two more points
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: than kirk so I've got even more. But I did
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: it just because I thought Lewis wouldn't start and I
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: was fed up with the Lewis roulette. I'm still happy
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: with that decision, even if it didn't pay off this week.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: There is nothing lucky about my game week.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: Carry on maybe No, I'm just happy because for once
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: I picked the right captain and I think if you didn't,
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: as we always said, it hurts cor Palmer thirty six
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: points if you captain him like me, which she's like,
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: more than half the points I got this week. My
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: boys William Saliva of course, my brother Saliva another goal
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: for him, amazing, I mean just about on side my
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: phone three of Evanierson, Kunya and Nicol Jackson not so
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: good this time.
• 26:16
  Speaker 3: I was happy with the sixty four points.
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: Sam, you weren't so happy with your fifty two. And
• 26:21
  Speaker 1: as show said there, I think you're living proof that
• 26:24
  Speaker 1: get your captain wrong and it can affect you.
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: I could not, could not, could not bring myself to
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: captain Kharma against Furs, and so I was like right
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: and going with soccer and then Martinelli. I've never been
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: so annoyed at a person in my whole life. Look
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: at the lines, stay on side, please? Yeah, so when that's.
• 26:40
  Speaker 1: Sorry, but still it still was only one goal. It
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: doesn't matter. The one goal would have made this feel
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: a lot better.
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: I think when when you get a complete captaincy blank
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: out of a player that you're expecting to do really well.
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: It's really frustrating.
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: I had taken the one goal from soccer and run
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: because it's not like I didn't have part I had
• 26:57
  Speaker 4: him in my team, so had Saka girl that goal.
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: Then I'm pretty.
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: Much level with Jews in terms of points returns for
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: the week. And it's a nice green arrow and I'm
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: happy as it happens. The captaincy was a bit of
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: a disaster. The one negative about owning the Arsenal defense
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: is that we have swing weeks like we did so
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: last week it was massive halls and big green arrows
• 27:23
  Speaker 4: because I had both of them. This week, the clean
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: sheet goes and then it's not Timber that gets the
• 27:29
  Speaker 4: goal and you end up with like nothing out of
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: two players, and then that also hurt hurts rank. But actually,
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: you know the rest of my team, given that I
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: had a complete captaincy blank, the rest of my team
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: did quite well and they were chipped in so Lankey
• 27:42
  Speaker 4: chipped in with some points, so it was fine. I
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: think it felt like a week where given I didn't
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: obviously nobody had their Liverpool assets play and I had
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: a Captaincy Blank to get out of it with pretty much.
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: A gray arrow.
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: It was like a minor it's actually fine. And then
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: heading into this week, so I have that horrible moment
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: where it took my team for this week and was like,
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: oh my gosh, you look amazing, like I love you all.
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: You all look brilliant.
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: And every time I feel like that, it then ends
• 28:13
  Speaker 4: up being knocked quite the week that you were anticipating
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: for some weird reason.
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: So we'll see how it goes.
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: But I'm kind of still all right with the fifty two,
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: given there was a huge hall for Parma and I
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: didn't have him as my captain.
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, not too bad, really, I think we all kind
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: of survived things, didn't we a few? I mean, I
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: quite love my team, but I've also got a few headaches,
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: the likes of Gabrielle Well come on to him very surely.
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: But let's just check in on the FPL Pod Mini
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: League and we've actually got two way tight. So I
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: love it when this happens. Charlie Sheppard and James White,
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: they're both locked on one thousand and seventy five points.
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: Charlie got fifty seven this week. He captained Esak not
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: too bad, but he did sell and before his thirteen
• 28:52
  Speaker 1: point hauled James scored sixty five he captained Palmer. They're
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: just one point ahead of Max Little Proud in third
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: and fifth a head of Stephen Blakemore, who is in
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: fourth place. Remind if you haven't joined the league yet,
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: the code is Q seven y C zero. Okay, let's
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: go through. I mentioned Gabrielle before, so let's go through
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: some of the popular FPI assets, because it does feel
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: like there's a bit of maybe some movement in terms
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: of wanting to sell them and move on to different
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: players for maybe the ones that we've had in our team.
• 29:21
  Speaker 1: So by sell hold, let's start with that man, Gabrielle.
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure what to do. I don't really feel
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: comfortable selling an Arsenal defender, and we know just how
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: good he can be, but ultimately I'm missing out on
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: Arsenal clean sheets at the moment. What would you do
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: if you were me yours?
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: It's a tricky one, this one, because I don't think
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: anybody should sell him, but you should have somebody off
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: your bench being able to play while he's injured or
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: that full and we don't know yet exactly when he's
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: going to come back. He didn't play in the Champions
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: League on Wednesday night against Monaco, not that Arsenal needed him,
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: so maybe it was just a case he was ready,
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: but they just didn't need him. They knew they would
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: be okay without him, even to beat Monaco in the
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: Champions League.
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: So he might come back at the weekend or might not.
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: I just think that you, yeah, you can say, but
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: you would have to bring him back in because he's
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: I think he's a player to have. He's a must
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: have almost in any team unless you're like me, linked
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: with Saliba.
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: But apart from that, he's the guy really.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: From our Arsenal point of view, and from a defender's
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: point of view, I think in the game, considering the
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: goals that he scored, and that Arsenal will get clean
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: sheet maybe more often than not, or should.
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: Get them more often than not.
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: So I hope that you have a good replacement on
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: your bench that you can bring on and live and
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: leave Gabrielle there on your bench, because I would not send.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: The other thing that comes into this for me Sam
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: as well, is if I do keep him, I need
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: to have another Arsenal defender now potentially want to double
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: up anyway, but I need to have another Arsenal defender
• 30:43
  Speaker 1: because each week at the moment, if Arsenal defenders are
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: returning and I'm not getting any Arsenal clean sheet points,
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: it's going to affect my rank. What would you do?
• 30:53
  Speaker 4: So I had this choice a couple of weeks ago,
• 30:56
  Speaker 4: and it was a straight choice between going back to Saliba,
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: going for Gabrielle, or going for Timber, And in that moment,
• 31:04
  Speaker 4: I decided that going for Timber was going to be
• 31:06
  Speaker 4: how I played it because he is significantly cheaper than
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: the other two, and I think, given all the stuff
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: we've just said about the mystery chip, that saving is
• 31:15
  Speaker 4: the difference between a zero point five.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: Manager and a one million manager.
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: Right So, I think if I was you, i'd hold
• 31:23
  Speaker 4: him just because you're in this point. He's going to
• 31:25
  Speaker 4: come back. I don't think he's going to be a
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: priority sell. But if you are, if you've got Raya,
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: for example, and you're looking to invest in the Arsenal defense,
• 31:33
  Speaker 4: then I don't think i'd pick Gabrielle right now. I
• 31:35
  Speaker 4: think I'd go for Timber because we're seeing attacking threat
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: from him.
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: And we have the.
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: Added benefit of the additional budget that he saves. So
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: I think if you've got Gabrielle, you hold. But I
• 31:45
  Speaker 4: think if you're looking to buy into the Arsenal defense,
• 31:48
  Speaker 4: then the rare Timber combination is going to save you
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: money and potentially bring you just as many points.
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: Okay, so you probably wouldn't buy him, but you probably
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: wouldn't sell him either. H just hold hold. There's an answer. Okay.
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: Another player that was heavily sold last week, Brian and Bomo.
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: If you did sell him, which I was tempted to,
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: you would have been punished thirteen points, as I said previously,
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: for him by sell or hold Samue First.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: It's time.
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: Do you know He's been the topic of a lot
• 32:17
  Speaker 4: of conversation in my house because Lee said on Sky
• 32:20
  Speaker 4: last weekend that this was going to be his last
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: dance with him.
• 32:23
  Speaker 1: How can you say this week?
• 32:24
  Speaker 4: I know we had this conversation, but then other things
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: come up as well, right, because he's got Allie Watkins
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: in his team. He picked up some sort of injury
• 32:30
  Speaker 4: in the Champions League. But I don't it's difficult with
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: him because at home the form is incredible and he's
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: returning and he looks great, but at the same time
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: the away form isn't great and the fixtures are changing for.
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: Brentford passively at home.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, I've Liverpool Aarston in City coming up with
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: Forest the next four home games.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: So at this point, if there's ever going to be
• 32:53
  Speaker 4: a moment where you sell him, I think this is it.
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: And I also think that it's coming at a time
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: where you've got a load of other players that are
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: actually performing really well and just take handsa Fernandez for example, right,
• 33:04
  Speaker 4: he is looking really good at the moment, significantly cheaper,
• 33:08
  Speaker 4: freeze up budget. It means you can probably get to
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: a Socca or a Palmer or Salo if you still
• 33:13
  Speaker 4: don't have them in your teams. If you want to
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: go back to having Trent again, then you can do that.
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: I think even with the thirteen points last week, I
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: would still sell en bom By this week.
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: What about you, Joes, Yeah, I agree.
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: I mean he blanked in four of the previous five
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: as well, so it's not like if he'd been on
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: great form even prior to the thirteen against against newcast
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: I'm sorry, but he's got obviously the potential and the
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: talent and et cetera. And with the WISA or even
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: Shadow now he's joining in. But I just think the
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: fixtures coming up so tough for Brentford, and especially at home.
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: They are the.
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: Best the team with the best home form so far
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: in the league. But there's a reason for that is
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: because they yet they have not played at home or
• 33:56
  Speaker 2: the big guys pretty much, so they're coming very soon
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: now and I just would not I would say I
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: certainly would not invest in him if I was looking
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: for a Brandford player.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: To be fair, I'm probably going to have to sell
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: him to upgrade my defense, so that will probably swing me.
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I think he'll be a popular sell with
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: a lot of managers this week. Okay, let's try and
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: go through some of these a little bit quicker Rico Lewis,
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: As I said I sold him, I mean, why.
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: Did you give up by in the first place?
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: It was four point seven million and he was a
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: man city defender.
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: If yeah, but even that, you know, like the desire
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: he's no.
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: I bought him before they were disastrous and he served
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: a purpose. He's been on my bench for a lot
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: of it. But ultimately mother defenders meant that I needed
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: a playing defender, so I had to sell him. So
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: although I missed out on his points last week, he
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: is now suspended of course anyway, so he would have
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: been a headache for this week. I'm glad that I
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: have got Rid, and I would encourage managers to sell,
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: but I'm not here to provide advice. You are what
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: do you think?
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely, which is a shame. But if you have
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: var Joy, it's the same. I just don't think right
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: now we can trust this city certainly the city defense
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: going forward. I think they will always score goal or
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: should be there and around. But defensively they've been symbolic
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: really so from him to Vardoe, to Walker to or
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: take Our Edison, Edison was back in the Champions League,
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: whoever you want.
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: I just don't think right now you should own a
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: city defender. SA.
• 35:19
  Speaker 4: No, I agree with Geors. I think it not only
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: do you have the problem this week because he's suspended.
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: I think moving forward, I just don't think the city
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: defense is where you want to be invested, so i'd
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: move him on. I think there's so many other really
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: nice options in the four point five bracket that you
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: can go to instead.
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: Okay, Schuell, Pedro, Sam.
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: Next three are nice. He's got really nice fixtures. I
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: am going to hold him. I still think there's value there.
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: I still think that somebody across your front eight has
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: to be cheap. They have to be a cheap option,
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: and at his price point, I think he offers one
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: of the best routes into value for money, alongside the
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: likes of Enzo Fernandez and se Meeno. So for me,
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: I'm Morgan Rodgers as well. To be fair, so for
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: me he would be a hold. I'd still consider buying
• 36:10
  Speaker 4: him as well if it meant that you could upgrade elsewhere,
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: because I think that there are a number of options
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: that you can have in that forward line and you
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: can go for I know that they didn't work for
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: Jaws and I particularly well last week, but that's slightly
• 36:23
  Speaker 4: cheaper front line where you've got kind of somebody in
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: the seven, somebody in the sixth and someone in the
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: five million price points does mean you can have a
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: phenomenon midfield. So for me, jar Pedro would be a
• 36:35
  Speaker 4: definite hold, and I'd still buy him for budget reasons, agree.
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: Geors, Yeah, I agree.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: I went for e Vanilson, and to be fair, since
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: I bought a Vanissan, they've been quite similar and Evanisson,
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: I think it's point to more expensive is five nine
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: to six one so is and the pictures for Bournmouth are.
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: Also good too, to be fair.
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: So it's where you think like the best value really
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: is and who would have the best impact and when
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: Pedrol and Brighton and doing well is great, but they've
• 37:02
  Speaker 2: been two of his last three games where you blaked.
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: They haven't really got going either.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: So but Sam's right the next three Palace Western, Brantford's
• 37:12
  Speaker 2: at home.
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: They're good fixtures.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: Okay, someone that I mentioned I was considering buying last
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: week and I'm still considering doing the transfer andmo to
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: Semeno to save a bit of money. Sam, you've already
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: mentioned that Semno is exceptional value, isn't he? Do you
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: still agree that with the fixtures Burnemouth have got now
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: as well, you'd potentially buy him and hold him if
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: you've got him.
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean west Ham, I United Palace form Everton
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: like that is a run that you'd invest in, and
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: these are defenses that can all be got at. I
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: think investing in Bournemouth makes sense. I did similar to Jules.
• 37:44
  Speaker 4: I went for Evanilson. Just think that having an attacker
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: from from those from that side makes a lot of sense.
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: So whether you've got a space in your forward line
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: and you want to go for Evanilson or you've got
• 37:54
  Speaker 4: a space in your midfield and you want to go
• 37:56
  Speaker 4: for se Menu, I'm all up for that, I think,
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: by by them, by all the Bornou players really yes, agree.
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: George, Yeah, absolutely okay, and.
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: Jeles has got the message that we're going a bit quicker.
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: Just a couple of names to throw in that I
• 38:11
  Speaker 1: know we're mentioned on off the bench and I Praz
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: talked about Inzo Fernandez earlier this week. Let's start with him.
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: I mean a player returning points at his price point.
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: For me, it's a bit of a no brainer, and
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: particularly in Chelsea's form at the moment, Sam, it just
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: depends if if you've got a slot for another budget midfielder.
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: I guess yeah, if you've got Kels. If I was you,
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: I'd be absolutely going in Bomotor Enzo Fernandez save some men. Yeah,
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: I think I would because you look at the way
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: that Chelsea are playing, with the amount of attacking potential
• 38:43
  Speaker 4: that they have and the fixtures Brentford, Everton, Fulham, It'swich Palace,
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: Born with Wolves, then man City, then west Ham Brighton.
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: I I don't think there's a game that's from sixteen
• 38:55
  Speaker 4: to twenty five. I don't think there's a game in
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: there where they don't score more than one goal.
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: And they're the best attack in the league as well.
• 39:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's true.
• 39:01
  Speaker 4: So I think across those games they're going to score
• 39:04
  Speaker 4: at least on average, they'll score at least a couple
• 39:06
  Speaker 4: of goals per game, probably more like three. And Enzo
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: Fernandez has got this newer role where because of Lavia
• 39:14
  Speaker 4: and Cassado, he's paying a little bit more further forward
• 39:16
  Speaker 4: and he's looking really great. So I just think he
• 39:20
  Speaker 4: having him alongside Partmer, Palmer's going to get to a
• 39:22
  Speaker 4: point where, like last season, nothing happens when Palmer returns
• 39:27
  Speaker 4: points because he's so heavily owned. We're heading back to
• 39:30
  Speaker 4: that point again. So doubling him up with Enzo Fernandez
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: or Jackson makes sense. And because Enzo Fernandez is that
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: much cheaper than Jackson, I think he's the way I'd
• 39:40
  Speaker 4: go always agree.
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, and I think ends always my differential. Maybe
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: two or three weeks ago for the old there's reasons
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: that we've mentioned. The fixture list, his new position higher up,
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: the bitch, the fad that they scored so many Gordon,
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: they are such an attacking side.
• 39:53
  Speaker 3: I would even trouble up because I've got.
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: Palma Jackson and maybe this weekend or the one after,
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: I bring Enzo in and have in those three chess
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: prize I think would be really good going forward.
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, And finally, Arling Harlan Joe's you sold him.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: I can't believe we haven't actually mentioned that.
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: I don't even know who that is. Man.
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: How if it Well, we did mention it on last
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: week's pod, I guess, but I just felt like we
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: should mention it. Yeah, feeling good about it. He's still
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: happy with that decision. He's never been happy since he sold.
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: No exactly, Still, I don't know. I guess it's everybody's choice.
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: I almost kept it because I felt so invested in
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: the Hailand project, which his sounds weird.
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: I know it does, but still, and then I watched
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: him last night.
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: In the Champions League, for example, in a game against
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: you Venture to where where he had okay, he had
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: one chance to the good goalkeeper said, Apart from that,
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: he hardly touched the ball in the box and certainly
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: not in a good position.
• 40:44
  Speaker 3: So I'm like, okay, yeah, they're clearly as.
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: Well as they're struggling defensively, they're even struggling to create
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: something with the ball, even with KDB coming back for them,
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: was on the bench, so it was, yeah, it's one
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: of those. But he can go and score hat trick
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: this weekend and then I would obviously be fuming or.
• 41:00
  Speaker 3: I just keep watching him with my eyes like this
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: and my hands like Sam always says, and hope for
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: the best.
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: Still a self for you, Sam, Yeah, still a sell
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: for me. It's not really about Harn And it's just
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: about the others.
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: Like I think you want Palmer, you want Saka, you
• 41:15
  Speaker 4: want Salah, you probably want Trent back soon, Like you
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: can't have everyone, so Harna.
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: As the sacrifice. Okay. Just a quick reminder then of
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: the suspension update. The players that picks up the fifth
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: yellow cards of the season, so we'll miss game week sixteen.
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: Pedro Nesso, Calvin Bassi, Bibacari, Samara, Eve's pursumer Emerson and
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: Shwau Gomez. Alexis McAllister is still suspended for Game week
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: sixteen after his game always postponed. A bit more kind
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: of prevalent for FPL managers because I know a lot
• 41:42
  Speaker 1: of people still have Rico Lewis. His red card that
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: we mentioned means he will also miss at the upcoming
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: game week and of course the likes so Jack Stevens,
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: Benton Kerr, and Tom Kearney all remain suspended. Alex Moreno,
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: by the way, will also miss game Week sixteen because
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: he's ineligible to face his parent club. Okay, then differential
• 41:58
  Speaker 1: of the week, and it was a good week last week,
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: particularly for Sam. She went with Ahmad and he got
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: five points, got an assist in United's defeat to Forrest
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: My time. I've got just two points though, Juels, So
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: who are you going to go with this week?
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: So I think Anderson.
• 42:10
  Speaker 2: We've mentioned Borne with already a little bi and I
• 42:12
  Speaker 2: think you either way.
• 42:14
  Speaker 1: Sam's got head in hands me. She went for him
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: as I did.
• 42:18
  Speaker 4: I don't have I don't have a backup, so we
• 42:20
  Speaker 4: must have to have the same one, Jeorge.
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: If you've got a backup, absolutely not. If I've ever
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: had a.
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: Couple of times, sometimes I did, but I didn't have.
• 42:31
  Speaker 4: A backup, because normally if you win the week, you
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: get to pick fans like I don't need a backup
• 42:39
  Speaker 4: this week. It's fine, we'll share him.
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: Well both, you're like two children. I'm not sure we can't.
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: You'd be very good at they're nicely together, can't we as.
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: We love a neck tattoo. So it's Sevan Anderson for you,
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: four point six percent owned by managers. You've cost you
• 42:54
  Speaker 2: six point one million. We said the pictures are great,
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: worst and we can't repeat everything. He was unlucky against
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: first because he's ex is almost zero point six. I
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: think he was very good and just lacked a little
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: bit of efficiency. Not so good against Ipswich.
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I've got a lot of faith in Born
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: with going forward in those games.
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: Coming up, in which case I'll go for some meno
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: and stick for the same game because a lot of
• 43:16
  Speaker 4: the stats I've got work joals Son Michael, I'll take
• 43:21
  Speaker 4: the blame for that.
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: Sorry, Sam, all right, that's okay.
• 43:24
  Speaker 4: So Born with the top for expected goals across the
• 43:25
  Speaker 4: league in the last six game weeks. In that time,
• 43:28
  Speaker 4: they've been expected to score sixteen point five to five goals. Now,
• 43:32
  Speaker 4: obviously the three penalties in gaming thirteen. Do you have
• 43:35
  Speaker 4: an impact on that? But they have had an XT
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: year of over tier in most fixtures that they've had
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: so far in those six weeks. The only negative to
• 43:44
  Speaker 4: say in all of this is that they actually should
• 43:45
  Speaker 4: have scored four and a half goals more on the
• 43:48
  Speaker 4: XG stats than they have, so they have been a
• 43:50
  Speaker 4: little bit wasteful in front of goal. They're going to
• 43:52
  Speaker 4: face a west Ham team who are the fourth worst
• 43:54
  Speaker 4: four expected goals conceded in the same period they've got
• 43:58
  Speaker 4: eleven point sixty seven actually see over the last six weeks.
• 44:02
  Speaker 4: So I think the warmth attack clearly Jors and I
• 44:06
  Speaker 4: agree on this is the way to go.
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: So if I can't have Evanilson, then I'll have some
• 44:10
  Speaker 1: Menua instead. He's six point nine percent.
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: Nine.
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you've told me to bring an Enzo Fernandez over him.
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: It's because you guys don't want me to have any
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: Bomus attackers because you've both got one. I see through
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: it now. Okay, let's finish on transfers and captains. It's
• 44:23
  Speaker 1: Thursday morning, Jules, have you decided what you're doing?
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: Not really no, absolutely no, But I'm thinking Enzo, maybe
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: for Brendon Johnson Ballot Brandon Johnson and he's been returning
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: quite regularly, or Morgan Rogers because the others are salad,
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: so there's there's just no room there. So I'll see
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: what I do. But that's that might be the one. Oh,
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: I just rolled the transfer.
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: Okay, Captain, did you say? Captain? S?
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: Captain?
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: Now that Moslla is back, the conundrum is a bit
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: do we stick with Palma is on fire he went
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: for that home or do you go from Mosala at
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: home to Fulham?
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: And I do think.
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: That Anthony Robinson could defend well on Mossala too, So
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: it's one of the two and I'm not sure which
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: one yet.
• 45:04
  Speaker 4: Okay, Sam, I think I'm going to roll my transfer
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: this week. I really like my team, so at the moment,
• 45:09
  Speaker 4: the transfer I was thinking about making was to go
• 45:11
  Speaker 4: from Rogers to Enzo Fernandez. But I actually would have
• 45:14
  Speaker 4: no way to play Enzo Fernandez this week because Rogers
• 45:18
  Speaker 4: is currently sat on my bench, so I'm kind of like, well,
• 45:20
  Speaker 4: it feels like a bit of a wasted transfer. I
• 45:22
  Speaker 4: might as well just wait for next week and maybe
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: let's do it then. So probably going to roll In
• 45:27
  Speaker 4: terms of captaincy, I am in the uncertain camp. I
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: think because Socca, Parma Salah all have fabulous fixtures. Also
• 45:37
  Speaker 4: actually think so Lanky could do well against the Southampton
• 45:41
  Speaker 4: back line the way that he presses. So at the
• 45:44
  Speaker 4: moment my bust team captain is on Salah. I think
• 45:47
  Speaker 4: I'm probably going to leave it there, but I do
• 45:49
  Speaker 4: really like the idea of captain and Socca. Again, maybe
• 45:53
  Speaker 4: I'm just the glutton for punishment with soccer. He seems
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: to blank every time my hand in the armband, but
• 45:58
  Speaker 4: I do really like that fixture for for Arsenal at
• 46:00
  Speaker 4: the weekend. So for me, I'm I think I'm going Salah,
• 46:04
  Speaker 4: but Pa Moresaka could end up wearing the band.
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: Don't get it wrong, Sam, I can't get it wrong again.
• 46:11
  Speaker 4: There's so much pressure now to get it right this
• 46:13
  Speaker 4: week because otherwise you'll catch me.
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: I don't think I'll catch you. I think this might
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: be the closest I get, but I'll give it a
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: good go, that's for sure. Guys, as always, thank you
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: very much. That was a bit of a bumper podcast,
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: but hopefully we've helped you with all the info you
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: need on the mystery chip as well. As I said,
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: do head over to Fantasy dot Premier League dot Com,
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: and the Premier League app. Not only is that all
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: the usual team news and all the other information to
• 46:33
  Speaker 1: help you manage your teams, but of course all that
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: additional info on the mystery chip. We'll also be discussing
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: that on the Fantasy Show on Friday. Sam will be
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: with me in the studio for that as well. Sam
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: and Oscar will also be back with Off the Bench
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: on Tuesday to reflect on Game week sixteen ahead of
• 46:47
  Speaker 1: our return next Thursday for Game Week seventeen. But your
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: deadline is the only time I've said it. Actually, this
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: is a little bit later this week. It's one thirty pm,
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: ninety minutes ahead of the four three pm kickoffs on Saturday.
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: There is no early game and no Friday night football.
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: You've got a little bit longer to sort out your teams,
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: which isn't in my case always a good thing. Anyway,
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: I have a good game week, guys. I'll see next
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: week by bye.
