Transcript
- 0:00Like he was like trying to get upset, but he's such a little
- 0:02baby. He doesn't even know how to get
- 0:03upset. He's like, oh gosh, jolly, jolly
- 0:06Gee. What the fuck was that I?
- 0:09Don't know that was my fake British.
- 0:10I don't know some stupid British the way British people talk.
- 0:13Oh, geez. Hello and welcome to episode 86
- 0:16of Draft Offsides. I'm with Tico Enzo, my name is
- 0:19Keith and we are getting down to the wire.
- 0:23Seasonally over, and I'm not going to lie, usually I'm really
- 0:25upset about the season being over, but I can't fucking wait.
- 0:29Is that from a like a Tottenham fandom place or from your own
- 0:35like fantasy fandom? No, no fantasy fantasy.
- 0:37I'm going to tell you this right now.
- 0:38We all, we all love our fantasy team, but it always comes down
- 0:40to your own team. And I can't wait for this
- 0:42fucking season to be fucking done with.
- 0:45Yeah, we just got to struggle through.
- 0:47But you, I mean this, this Thursday could be the end of
- 0:49your season essentially beginning, you know?
- 0:53Well, there's two legs. Two legs, but it's really.
- 0:56Bad what you What you doing mate?
- 0:57Why are you jumping ahead of the gun?
- 0:58I'm. Just saying it's just like you.
- 1:00It won't be the end you. Should, but I I guess, you know,
- 1:02I framed, I phrased that wrong. You should still be looking
- 1:05forward to something because you're still in the running to
- 1:06win a. Trophy.
- 1:07No, no, I hear you. If you can feel that way.
- 1:09I've seen my team to get to several finals.
- 1:11And they still turned out several finals.
- 1:14What is several? How many?
- 1:16Several. You've seen this will be the
- 1:17second one you. Should be the. 3rd it'll be the
- 1:21third. Are we counting Audi Cup?
- 1:23No, the one that Dave Sag shows. That's right.
- 1:25Yeah, right. Yeah.
- 1:28But yeah, I am just anxious because my team is Chelsea is
- 1:33still in top 4, but it's like on the outside looking in, kind of,
- 1:37you know, yeah. And Tito's kind of indifferent.
- 1:40But yeah, he doesn't. He's not a real fan.
- 1:42But you, you guys are still in it.
- 1:44Like, you know, it's that you still got something to play for.
- 1:46Champions League is still something to play for.
- 1:49I mean, so is a Europa. No, you know, I hear you.
- 1:51I want to play it, but I wouldn't say it right now.
- 1:53Even if we fucking win that thing, fucking big hands, better
- 1:55we fucking leave. I think he leaves no matter.
- 1:58What I think maybe he quits instead of getting fired.
- 2:00That would be the biggest difference, yeah.
- 2:02I think the only way he wouldn't do that is just if it's a
- 2:04paycheck thing because if he's like well I can not leave and
- 2:07make them fire me and still get. Oh yeah, you know, you know how
- 2:10many managers we fucking paid? We paid so many managers.
- 2:14You and me both, brother. You and me both.
- 2:16Oh, wait. Chelsea.
- 2:16Yeah, we're the worst of it, but let's let's not get too side
- 2:20shacked. OK?
- 2:20Let's get into the the matches from game week 34.
- 2:23So we're heading into game week 35, huh?
- 2:26Game week 35. Wow.
- 2:27OK, so before before we talk. Game week 35, Game week 34, game
- 2:31one, Newcastle 3, Ipswich 0. Johnson got a red in the 37th
- 2:36minute, and that was kind of that was game over, huh?
- 2:40Done you. Just like you weren't going to
- 2:41win that game anyway, but now it was just a matter of how many
- 2:43goals you're going to lead. I think the worst part about
- 2:45Johnson's red is there were two really bad yellows.
- 2:48Like 1 was like it was like holding the guy and I forgot
- 2:51what he did for the first one. It was pretty like.
- 2:53Oh, it was, yeah. It was pretty low.
- 2:55It wasn't like. But I think it was.
- 2:56But it was, I think the first one first was for something that
- 2:58kicking the ball away, you know, it wasn't like a tackle.
- 3:01It was like taking the ball or talking or doing.
- 3:03I forgot it was I. Forget what it was too, but it's
- 3:05like he was back in the championship.
- 3:07He's getting ready to get back in the Championship because you
- 3:08get away with that shit, you know what I mean?
- 3:12All right, Trippier 28.5 points #3 a third game with two
- 3:17assists. No, number number three overall
- 3:19and points is so far this oh this.
- 3:21Game week. So he's so funny because there
- 3:23was a period of time where he was completely out of the squat,
- 3:26like he wasn't involved at all. And then with the Hall injury,
- 3:28he's come back in and now he's looking like like trippy.
- 3:31He never left. Yeah, never from before, which
- 3:34is fascinating. Dan Byrne, big Dan Byrne, 26.25
- 3:39points. Surprisingly, that was his first
- 3:40goal in the Premier League this season.
- 3:42Really. Yeah, I was surprised by that.
- 3:44Has it all been cup games that he scored?
- 3:46Yeah. I think he's scored a lot of cup
- 3:47games. This makes it three games in a
- 3:50row Newcastle the Thunder has scored a goal.
- 3:52That is really fascinating. There are two of them, Shah
- 3:55Shah, Byrne. Yep.
- 3:57Yeah, I mean, Dan Byrne is. He's been great though.
- 4:03Yeah, he's been solid. Yeah, it was weird memories like
- 4:08was that last year was playing left back?
- 4:11That was odd. It was like he.
- 4:13Was way too large. He was way too large to be
- 4:15playing. Left back he definitely wasn't
- 4:17rundown that wing mate. It was though if you.
- 4:19Remember when I say running I mean like full Sprint.
- 4:22This guy was like galloping because he's like 6 foot so.
- 4:24Yeah, Denali 18.25 points. He continues to have a really
- 4:27strong back out for the season. I think the defensive
- 4:30midfielders this season have have already stood out after we
- 4:33we talked a lot like a lot of defensive midfielders.
- 4:36Yeah, yeah, you're not wrong. Murphy. 17 points with an
- 4:40assist. Consistent man.
- 4:42He's he. You think he's he's at least
- 4:44second round next season. No.
- 4:46Oh dude, yes, look at his. Stats, no, I think from a pure
- 4:50stats percentage for point of view, I can see that Like what?
- 4:53What? Where is he ranked overall?
- 4:5531st. 31st SO, so he's having a but like, but I think we the
- 5:00worry is, is that like he's the type of guy where if he has a
- 5:03few, like if his form dips for a little bit, he's not going to,
- 5:06he's not necessarily guaranteed to keep a spot.
- 5:08But yeah, if I go by your argument, though, that we go by
- 5:11form and what we see near the end of the season, like the way
- 5:14we're seeing at the end of this season, But he's been playing
- 5:17really well. Goal contributions have been
- 5:19there. He's the type of guy that I
- 5:21think I'd be really excited to get maybe in the third or
- 5:23fourth. I think the second I I'm looking
- 5:25for a little more of. The show, I think, he went on.
- 5:28The game in the third of four 'cause I'm pick him up in a
- 5:29second just FY. For another love to see that.
- 5:32That's your this year, next year's Neon Bailey.
- 5:34But didn't didn't he start playing better once?
- 5:40Gordon was kind of iffy. And the reason I said no, no,
- 5:43no, no. The reason I said I wouldn't
- 5:45take him in the second round because I feel like you cast us
- 5:47a lot of midfielders and you just never know if that that
- 5:50rotation is going to be. Yeah, but the other thing was
- 5:53Murphy was injured a lot last year.
- 5:54That's why he didn't see him. And they had, what's that
- 5:57central self of Elmeron. They had Elmeron who was going
- 6:00off last year. That's why he couldn't get into
- 6:01the team off. He came back from injury, but
- 6:03this season he's been a standard I don't.
- 6:04Think he's flipped the switch, though.
- 6:06He's been, he's been in the team for a while and he was just a
- 6:08very like good, like efficient player that did stuff and, you
- 6:11know, but this year it's really been, it's really been this
- 6:14second-half of this year where he's really turned it up.
- 6:16I thought this is only his second.
- 6:17Season No it's. They picked him up from, they
- 6:19picked him up from a championship team, didn't they?
- 6:21No, he's been with Newcastle since 2017.
- 6:23Eighteen. Yeah.
- 6:25Shit. So he's like, he's like, I think
- 6:27he's obviously evolved into something new this year, but I
- 6:31don't know. I just, it makes me a little, he
- 6:33makes me a little like, is he really, is this, is this the
- 6:35real guy or is this just like an amazing run in an amazing team
- 6:39with the right system, the right people around him, you know?
- 6:41Speaking of the right people, it'd be also interesting to see
- 6:43if he sucks, stays or goes because if he leaves the club,
- 6:46that's going to put a lot of pressure from like those
- 6:48defenders that are, you know, double teaming.
- 6:50He suck at all times. I would say to me, my more
- 6:53concern is like for Anthony Gordon now I think he might drop
- 6:58a little bit and drops because what's his name is having such a
- 7:03hobby on one side and the Harvey Barnes on the other, is that
- 7:06it's just showing that like Anthony Gordon isn't like this
- 7:08like needed player that they're so desperate to get back.
- 7:11Yeah. So that means that now, now he's
- 7:13like not in the team. This is like the third game row,
- 7:15the fourth game row. He hasn't started and he's come
- 7:18on off the bench. So to me, it's like he's going
- 7:19to be now like competing for a spot.
- 7:21It's not this guaranteed locked in thing.
- 7:23So I think that's more where where I'm curious about
- 7:26drafting, you know, like where does he go?
- 7:28Are you, are you drafting Murphy over Anthony Gordon?
- 7:32No. No, Gordon.
- 7:35So if you're driving Gordon, so then you're driving Gordon in
- 7:37the first round? No, you're driving Gordon in the
- 7:39second round before Murphy. Yeah, if he's there.
- 7:43I'm just. I feel like in the second round
- 7:44it's not making as much sense when you really.
- 7:46Break it down. No, no.
- 7:47You think about it, if I have the 10th pick and I get him like
- 7:51back-to-back, I can go Murphy and.
- 7:52Gordon no. So I, I think what Enzo is
- 7:55trying to say that he failed is I think Anthony, I can go
- 7:58back-to-back. Anthony Gordon is early 10
- 8:00rounds. Gordon goes before Murphy and
- 8:02I'm I don't get to pick Gordon, I'll pick Murphy.
- 8:05Murphy's not. You're not picking Murphy in the
- 8:0611th. It's.
- 8:08It makes no sense. You mean we like the 19th pick?
- 8:12No, if you have 10th, you have 11th.
- 8:16If you're if you're in the first round, then you get the 19 and
- 8:1920. Yeah, yeah, whatever, man.
- 8:21I think what Enzo's trying to say is if you're early on in the
- 8:23second round, you take Gordon, but if on the latter side of the
- 8:26second round as you take Murphy. Interesting.
- 8:29We'll see. I feel like you're going to
- 8:30change your mind between now and the draft, but if you don't,
- 8:33good feel. Please take Murphy in the second
- 8:35round my. My tactic, my tactic next season
- 8:38is not to listen to the the back, the background, which is
- 8:41which is Keith and Tico because I picked up Anthony Robinson and
- 8:45I got told the mats and and blah blah blah would be better.
- 8:48And I shouldn't, yes. You.
- 8:49Did let's. Go, Sergey.
- 8:52Can you find that clip? Thank you.
- 8:53OK, let's move on to the next game though, because we we got
- 8:56really fun, end up saying Murphy in the second.
- 8:59OK, next game, Brighton three, West Ham two.
- 9:04Man, did you just watch the end of this?
- 9:05No, I didn't watch the end. It was pretty.
- 9:06Tragic Like West Ham was up in like the 88th minute or
- 9:09something. West Ham was up to 1 and
- 9:12Brighton scored two to win and like and scored the last one
- 9:15extra time. It was crazy.
- 9:16Grand Potter had that little freak out in the like in the
- 9:20presser after. Like, he was like trying to get
- 9:22upset. But he's such a little baby.
- 9:23He doesn't know how to get upset.
- 9:24He's like, oh gosh, jolly, jolly Gee.
- 9:28What the fuck was that I? Don't know that was my fake
- 9:31British. I don't know some stupid British
- 9:33the way British people talk. Oh geez.
- 9:36I want to see if I close my eyes.
- 9:37I think it was sense of talking. Oh golly.
- 9:39Geez. Golly, geez.
- 9:42So he's not cussing you like you could tell he wants to cuss.
- 9:44He like doesn't know any cuss words or something.
- 9:46Well because if he curse he would have cost 10 points for
- 9:49Gryffindor. Stupid OK Bowen 22.25 points
- 9:56with two assists so check on a goal 19.75 I feel like whenever
- 10:01I see West Ham highlights so check a scoring.
- 10:03Well, he's scored after we said he doesn't really score that
- 10:06many goals. I think he's scored a couple in
- 10:07the last couple weeks. I feel like he all he does is
- 10:09score goals like he doesn't do. He doesn't do much else than
- 10:12score goals. Like he doesn't have a lot of
- 10:13value other than that. Keep it killing me man.
- 10:16Did I? Did I say the opposite of that?
- 10:18Yeah, you said Suchek doesn't score enough goals and that
- 10:21he's. It's like he maybe get you four
- 10:23or five a season, but that's it. And then after you said that he
- 10:26scored two in the last couple weeks, I.
- 10:27Don't know if I've ever said that.
- 10:29All right. Yeah, I made it up.
- 10:33No, because last year he scored like an absurd amount of goals.
- 10:36He scored like 15 goals last year, right One was it 2 years
- 10:41ago? It's.
- 10:41Like 2 years ago it. Was two years ago.
- 10:44There was like a period of time where he was like unstoppable
- 10:46scoring goals because he was. Playing more attacking now he's
- 10:48been playing a little bit more of a.
- 10:49We're talking about role, So check.
- 10:52So check. Yeah, yeah.
- 10:53Eight goals. Eight goals.
- 10:54Last time, the only time he had double digits was 20/20/21.
- 10:57Ten goals, one assist. But like, I don't know, I mean a
- 11:01midfielder that scores you that many goals.
- 11:04It seems like. It's only just a weird one.
- 11:06Only human Bowen. I know Kudus scored this game,
- 11:08but he didn't really do much else.
- 11:10That's why I didn't make it on the point board.
- 11:13Yeah. And then I think was I just
- 11:16thought I'm like hung up on. So check.
- 11:17I think that's just one of those things where it's he's just hard
- 11:20to draft and like having a team at all times.
- 11:23Because he's not. What do you always say?
- 11:24He's not a sexy player to pick up.
- 11:26He's not a sexy. Player, he's been a consistent
- 11:28player. So yeah, that one year I said
- 11:30with the tangos, yeah, I reached 11.6.
- 11:32Ever since then that has been like 8 or like 8 1/2 and above.
- 11:36So like 8 plus is pretty good. OK, I've changed my game plan
- 11:40for the draft next season. So check second round.
- 11:43I'm gonna go No, I'm gonna do like the Oakland A's.
- 11:47Did you remember Moneyball? I'm gonna go Moneyball.
- 11:50So what does that mean? Yeah, it.
- 11:51Means it means that. What does that mean?
- 11:53Because it's not going to be sexy players, it's going to be
- 11:55players like get on base. Efficient.
- 11:57Efficient. So like the Pascal Grosses of
- 11:59the world. Don't tie, Don't tie baseball
- 12:01when the guy was telling us you stick to baseball, idiot.
- 12:05Go Dodgers. OK, then some Brighton players.
- 12:09Ayari 18.75 points. He scored a banger goal.
- 12:13Buliba also scored a banger of a goal and that was the one in the
- 12:16dying minutes to win it. And then Gruda with two sets,
- 12:19two assists, got 18 points. Yeah, you have this note here.
- 12:22It's all role squad players for Brighton.
- 12:24And there's continues to be other than Matoma, there's
- 12:26probably not like a major star on the team.
- 12:28Yeah, Matoma is like borderline, isn't he?
- 12:31I mean, he's going and he's he's like a first, second round guy.
- 12:35First second round. Right.
- 12:37Was it? Well.
- 12:39This year. This year.
- 12:40Where he goes. You don't think next year will
- 12:42he? I mean, he's a, he's a 22nd rate
- 12:45player. So third round maybe may drop to
- 12:47the third. Oakland A's Oakland A's Don't
- 12:49worry, I got it, locked it so. You you're drafting Murphy in
- 12:53the second round, but the player was higher than Murphy.
- 12:56You don't want to draft in the second.
- 12:57Round I'm gonna get. I'm gonna get him in the third
- 12:59round. All right.
- 13:03Yeah, I think, I think, I think you really bring up a really
- 13:06good point though with Bretton is that it's just really hard to
- 13:08trust who's going to start and who's going to play.
- 13:11It just makes it makes it really challenging.
- 13:12Yeah, you know. I like them though.
- 13:15Yeah, one also note just going back a little bit, you mentioned
- 13:19kudos. I I went back and looked at, I
- 13:21was just looking at players and just cuz we, you showed that
- 13:25stat the other day. It was like all the players that
- 13:27had the the the most like failed like contested dribbles.
- 13:30Yeah. And there's some names on there.
- 13:32And I was kind of curious. I'm like who has, who has like
- 13:34the most successful dribbles this year?
- 13:36Do you guys want to guess? Anthony Robinson.
- 13:41Konya. Jamie Doku.
- 13:43Again. By a lot.
- 13:45By Yeah 98. Wow.
- 13:47What number 2? Kudos.
- 13:50Kudos. So even in a bad year, he's
- 13:53still getting a lot of like those ghost points from the
- 13:55dribbles. I think Tigo said it right.
- 13:57That was the goals and assists are missing this year for kudos,
- 14:00yeah. It's it's crazy that Doku still
- 14:02has the most 1 but didn't he like 15 just against Liverpool?
- 14:05Yeah. I mean, he just like, yeah, he
- 14:08goes, he goes past people. And he hasn't played like in the
- 14:10last like four or five weeks too.
- 14:12That's. Well, he did.
- 14:13He didn't play in the last game. 11 minutes. 2 minutes.
- 14:16Thirty minutes. But like, he comes on in like
- 14:18the 70th minute and just dribbles past people like for 10
- 14:21minutes straight. They're also very tired by that
- 14:24point, yeah. That's what I mean, yeah, yeah.
- 14:25Yeah, it's like garbage time stats.
- 14:27Kinda but he's good at it. But OK, next game Southampton
- 14:32won Fulham 2 Southamptons gave us a scare, huh?
- 14:37Yeah, fucking thought they were going to fuck us.
- 14:39So this was. Part of our parlay.
- 14:40So what was the what were the games?
- 14:41Chico, tell us the games again. This is we're going to give you
- 14:43your flowers right now. So Chico gave us a good parlay
- 14:45and we all bet on it. So it was, let's see, it was
- 14:49Fulham, Newcastle and Wolves, right?
- 14:53Yeah, and Wolves and then Tottenham.
- 14:55And then Tottenham. Toulouse, right?
- 14:57Tom Toulouse. Yeah, to Liverpool.
- 15:00So this game, so we were doing well then this game happened
- 15:03like early goes, goal goes in and we all let it out a
- 15:05collective fuck this is bad. But then it ended up working out
- 15:09full on, came back in 121 and but it was in the dying minutes
- 15:13it was. In the dying minutes, that
- 15:15header from Cesignon. Yeah.
- 15:17You know, what was interesting, though, was Cesignon was back
- 15:20playing in the defense this game, so he wasn't playing in
- 15:23that attacking role, Andy. Robertson I don't know what
- 15:25happened to Andy Robertson. Anyone else?
- 15:27Know and he's injured. Fuck, there's an injury, Yeah,
- 15:30but at least you have Sesame on, so at least you have you got
- 15:33both of them. That was my fucking yeah.
- 15:35OK, Yeah. That was your.
- 15:36That was your ace of the hole. That was your little.
- 15:37Magic trick? Yeah, it was.
- 15:39That hadn't started in two games.
- 15:41Yeah, Anderson, 19.25 points. Yeah, he hasn't started because
- 15:43he's been injured. 10 arrows, one, that's amazing. 13
- 15:46effective clearances. That's also kind of wild.
- 15:49And then Triari with 19.25 points, got an assist, looked
- 15:53really good. He only played a second-half
- 15:55too. Yeah, and he's, I think he's
- 15:56he's going to get more game time with Andy Robinson's that still.
- 16:00Because Sesson's. Not going to play on the wing.
- 16:01And Muniz is out too. I mean, just there's some
- 16:03there's definitely they're lacking a few things.
- 16:05Emil Smith Row got the other goal, but he just feels so
- 16:07irrelevant because he just like he comes on and scores, but he
- 16:09does nothing else. You.
- 16:10See, well he hit the post too I think, but he just looks so lazy
- 16:14in this guy and watch this game, he looks so lazy.
- 16:17He's not a 10, he's a fake 10. Arsenal did good business.
- 16:21Get rid of him. I think they did.
- 16:22I think I'm. Kind of.
- 16:24Him and K are fucking trash all. Right.
- 16:29Sorry, I'm just letting out some somewhere I go.
- 16:33OK, next game, Wolves 3, Lester 0.
- 16:37That's what Wolves 6th win in a row.
- 16:40That's the most wins they've ever had in the top flight ever.
- 16:43Pretty impressive. Cunha 40 points in this game, a
- 16:48goal and two assists. Just start talking right before
- 16:54he leaves, right before he goes to Manchester United.
- 16:56Well, look. He's got 40 points, he got 2
- 16:58assists in a goal, but there's so many odd things he did in
- 17:00this game. Yeah, if you if you look at the
- 17:02stats, he just fucking packed them up.
- 17:04So, OK, so I know we were, we were talking a lot about like
- 17:07drafting and stuff. Cunha next year.
- 17:09First round. First round.
- 17:10First round especially. When he goes to Man United, I
- 17:12mean, no, no. Especially is that, is that
- 17:14yeah, positive. No, no.
- 17:17I think that'll be a positive for him if I I really do.
- 17:20And I think he. Because him and Bruno are going
- 17:22to fucking go off. They're going to go off.
- 17:26So you think he's going to start over Hoyland?
- 17:29No, they play. They both play under Hoyland and
- 17:31then Hoyland plays above that there's some some striker.
- 17:34No, you. Think I think.
- 17:35I've heard rumors. No, I don't think he plays.
- 17:37I think he plays in the underneath.
- 17:39No. Yeah, because look at look at
- 17:41how well he's done this year. Was trained Larson ahead of him.
- 17:44I think he wants a striker ahead but he.
- 17:45No, but he was playing ahead of him before when Sharon lost, was
- 17:48on the bench and he was scoring goals or when they played up
- 17:50top. Together, I think it doesn't
- 17:51matter where he plays to be honest.
- 17:53You think he's going to do do his thing?
- 17:55Yeah, I think that I think that they're going to want a
- 17:57recognized striker. I think that they're going to.
- 18:00I think Man United's going to get a recognized striker, either
- 18:02Gorkhas or something like that. I think they're.
- 18:03Going to 36 million fucking, that's easy, yeah.
- 18:09And that's cheap for them. Yeah, so first round, end of the
- 18:13first round like late first round pick and.
- 18:14I think. I think he's a late first round
- 18:16pick. Is he?
- 18:18If you ring fingers, I think so. If you go by his season this
- 18:21season. OK, here's a good question for
- 18:23you guys. Would you rather have Cunya or
- 18:25Cole Palmer? Who are you?
- 18:26Cunya first. Right now, I say.
- 18:28Cunya, I'll go Cole Palmer just because of the position.
- 18:32The body in position, it's a little bit scarce and also like
- 18:36that's a good thought. People go into new, new teams.
- 18:38It's always like you never know what's going to happen.
- 18:40There's adjustment period. Yeah, there's a little more
- 18:41uncertainty and you're hoping that Cobalt eventually gets out
- 18:44of the slump. No, you hope.
- 18:46I think we all hope, right? Just for I think all of the
- 18:48soccer world hopes no. For the joy, you know the joy,
- 18:51he doesn't make that much joy. His interviews are is are on
- 18:53bring joy. Remember.
- 18:56He's. Not.
- 18:57He's not the real guy that does this, remember?
- 18:59OK, We're not we're not getting into that.
- 19:00It's Trey. Let's not talk about it.
- 19:02Ice. OK, Trey at NOI, 26.25 points,
- 19:05one assist. Jose SAS saved the penalty. 20
- 19:09points. 20 points. Yeah, Wolves.
- 19:12Wolves are on for playing attacking football.
- 19:14They are. They just look good.
- 19:15And like, I think the defensive pieces are really undervalued.
- 19:18Obviously, I know he's probably owned, but like a lot of those,
- 19:21a lot of their center backs and then Semendo and I know you
- 19:23picked him up, Enzo. I know he's been on waivers
- 19:26before. I still think he's kind of
- 19:27undervalued as well. Yeah.
- 19:29I think there's something there, Lester.
- 19:30You, you just, you're not touching.
- 19:32No, Yep. No next game.
- 19:34Liverpool 5, Tottenham one How? How big of you, Enzo, to put
- 19:38this game on the recap? Had to.
- 19:40You had to this was the So Liverpool won the league.
- 19:43It's officially, the league is officially tied up.
- 19:46Relegation is officially tied up after this week too.
- 19:48So it's all about top four. That's all that really matters.
- 19:50Top five, top five and then our individual fantasy performances.
- 19:54That's all that matters. So Liverpool fest on a
- 19:57lackluster Spurs side with no sense of identity.
- 20:01What did you say earlier? And so we were just shooting the
- 20:03shit before you were saying that you're watching the game.
- 20:05And when Tottenham scored, it wasn't like you weren't excited.
- 20:08It was like, oh shit. Oh shit, we poked the bear too
- 20:11fucking early. Yeah, like I would only
- 20:13celebrate that goal if it was in the 88th minute.
- 20:16Or more. It's in stoppage time in.
- 20:18Stoppage time, you know, I mean, that's the only time I'm going
- 20:19to celebrate that because as soon, as soon as we do that,
- 20:21what did you just do? And move my pyramid closer for
- 20:24most Salah Oh. I can't see.
- 20:26We can't see it. It's perfect.
- 20:29What does it have on there? It's just, it's just a.
- 20:30Pyramid. Yeah, it's like it's a sort of
- 20:32most. Solid shine.
- 20:33So so you drafted most solid. You have some like pyramid relic
- 20:36in your room. So I feel like there's some
- 20:38voodoo going on. Can I?
- 20:39Can I? Can you do it?
- 20:41Yeah. He has so much weird shin as
- 20:43hell and. He's starting to pull it out now
- 20:45that he's now that he's going to be championed in a week.
- 20:47Or two, he's all of a sudden I got from work.
- 20:50Like it's a pack of like 3 different sizes.
- 20:53Well, three different sizes, probably the the three different
- 20:56pyramids that are. Exactly what I was thinking.
- 21:00Well, my grandpa was there in Egypt, so you know, this is, you
- 21:03know, my grandpa. You were.
- 21:04You were born in. Egypt.
- 21:05My grandpa was his grandpa. Oh.
- 21:06OK, that's cool. OK, not getting sidetracked
- 21:09going back to the Liverpool. So Salah, 21 points, got a goal.
- 21:13The drought's over and. Then Seth Drought's over.
- 21:16I know said that this one, I saw the suit, he said this one feels
- 21:19better without Mana and Firmino. That's kind of weird because it
- 21:21feels like he's, he's like I'm the guy.
- 21:24Like it feels better because I'm the main man.
- 21:25That and I don't think he got along in Mana Let's.
- 21:27Be able to get along. They did not get, they didn't
- 21:29get along because Marnie wanted to be the guy, but honestly,
- 21:32Marnie was the guy there. But why?
- 21:33I was pretty sick for a. While he was fucking sick, yeah.
- 21:37And for me. I'm surprised he said that about
- 21:39Familia though. I think it just felt like before
- 21:42it was he wasn't I to me that that reads is like he wasn't the
- 21:45superstar. He was a part of a of a of a
- 21:47threesome essentially. And now he's like the guy, like
- 21:50everyone's gonna remember this Premier League thing and he's
- 21:52the guy. Tico.
- 21:53I said, I said a word. You don't have to every single
- 21:55time I say a word that's remotely sexual.
- 21:57Doesn't mean you have to like, granted, make a comment.
- 21:58No, no, I know. It's coming.
- 21:59No, I don't have it. I.
- 22:01Wasn't I wasn't thinking about that.
- 22:02I was when you said like, you know, getting all the credit, I
- 22:05was thinking like his striker right now.
- 22:06And I'm like, there's no way Darwin Nina is gonna get credit.
- 22:09So like, this makes it more like incredible.
- 22:11I was just thinking about that, not the threesome.
- 22:15OK, OK. Other than that, SLOBA slide,
- 22:1729.5 points, 2 assists, 12 points from that and then eight
- 22:21key passes. So yeah, 16 points.
- 22:23Yeah, that's great. Someone else has been having
- 22:25pretty like shitty run like the last like 0 points 0 points
- 22:301.752.75. So he needed this game too.
- 22:33I needed the. Same too.
- 22:34I don't really. I don't really like Silva Slide
- 22:36as a fantasy asset. I've come to realize that as
- 22:38well, he gets. The inconsistency, right?
- 22:41Like he has booba. He's a very booba bus.
- 22:42Player and same thing as last year, he got off to a very good
- 22:44start, then he cooled off, then towards the end of the year not
- 22:47sure if he gets tired or his body doesn't take the.
- 22:49So he's like Danny Welbeck? I got.
- 22:53Olive, Bryan. I saw a funny post on Men in
- 22:58Blazers Instagram about Liverpool winning the
- 23:00championship. It's just a couple of facts so I
- 23:03just want to go through it real quick.
- 23:05Chelsea becomes the second Italian to win the Premier
- 23:07League. First one being Valedeli.
- 23:09Does he get enough games even to become I mean.
- 23:12He was he, yeah. Virgil Van Dyke, first Dutch
- 23:15captain to win the Premier League.
- 23:17Arnie Slott, first Dutch manager to win the Premier League.
- 23:21Mossala remains still the only Egyptian to win it, which
- 23:24probably will change when steady ones it.
- 23:26So it was like first Hungarian player to win the Premier
- 23:29League, Costas Timika's first Greek player to win the league
- 23:33and then Trent Alexander the first Real Madrid player to win
- 23:36the league. Oh my.
- 23:41God, I hate you. That was good.
- 23:45I knew something was coming at the end there.
- 23:48So yeah, next though, just Liverpool start experimenting
- 23:50with young players now that the season is done.
- 23:53I tend to think that they are going to put a little bit of a
- 23:56reduced line about next week. I don't know what that is Like I
- 23:59I was feeling solid, still plays, but like, I like, do you
- 24:03think really think they're going to play Darwin Nunez like
- 24:05because he's an asset they're looking to sell?
- 24:07No, no, they're going to sell him well.
- 24:08It's going to be like the young players like Bradley Kwanzaa.
- 24:13Chris Jones But do you think, do you think they don't?
- 24:14Do you think they don't? I think, I think they still play
- 24:16Trent. Yo, let's sort of play track.
- 24:20Risk an injury? With the with the.
- 24:23It's I also saw Dolphin Nunes has some kind of 'cause if he
- 24:27makes a certain amount of like starts, he gets a bonus.
- 24:29So I don't expect Nines to be playing at the games.
- 24:34Yeah, I think most all I mentioned this last week as
- 24:36well, he's sitting at 28 goals, 18 assists.
- 24:39I think there'll be 20 will be huge fifty goal contributions.
- 24:42So I, I think once he gets that, he'll probably like crust up
- 24:45some more. Yeah, I think that's it.
- 24:48I think I we talked about like Curtis Jones and the other young
- 24:521, Harvey Elliott. I could see both of them getting
- 24:54some time and just giving some rest of these guys that are
- 24:56playing a lot of games because they don't, I mean, they have
- 24:58nothing really left to play for. They were they have three games.
- 25:00There's no, there's no like FA Cup.
- 25:02There's not anything else. I think the only, my only
- 25:04concern is someone who owns Trent is if Arnie Slot goes OK,
- 25:08now we need to see what we have with Bradley.
- 25:10And it's like, but like part of me feels like they're also going
- 25:13to be like, you know what, fuck it, we're going to run you into
- 25:14the ground because you're you're not playing for us next year.
- 25:16We're not getting anything for you.
- 25:18No, but you think he's even going to play like that hard.
- 25:21I wouldn't like as a player that you've already won, you've
- 25:25already won the league, you've done your job like you're not
- 25:27going to go. You know what I mean?
- 25:28It's. Going to be really interesting
- 25:29to see how that how they line up.
- 25:31I think you say that, but I think once you're playing and
- 25:35the competitive side takes over, I don't think you realize that.
- 25:38Like both of us haven't played soccer for a while.
- 25:40To me, the thing I missed the most is the competition.
- 25:42It's not like going around kicking.
- 25:43It's just a competition. And of course you guys, but
- 25:46mostly the competition. So I, I think that's why once
- 25:49they're on the field, I don't think there's like pulling back
- 25:51or not playing as hard as you can.
- 25:53Yeah, definitely. Don't miss the referees, no?
- 25:56They're not in our league. Yeah, no.
- 25:58Definitely not in our league. Yeah, I think it'll be
- 26:00interesting. I'm a little, I think anyone
- 26:02that has like standout Liverpool players should be a little
- 26:05nervous though, because you just don't know where that where that
- 26:07axe is going to land, you know? Yeah.
- 26:13OK, I would, I would guess I'd eventually say Andy Robinson
- 26:15doesn't start again. I think he's done.
- 26:18Man, I think Simicus probably gets the rest of the games just
- 26:21to see if they feel like he's going to be the guy for them,
- 26:24which I don't think he will be. I think they'll get someone
- 26:25else, but I think they want to give him the run out and give
- 26:28him an opportunity to play some games.
- 26:29Yeah, we'll see. So we'll see you there.
- 26:32All right, just some random key notes.
- 26:34Bruno Fernandez 21.5 points. He's the only one.
- 26:37Like I know we didn't cover the man and I game, but that was
- 26:40literally he's again missed the consistent like the only one
- 26:43showing up easy on one points for United.
- 26:47Yeah, that was a 11. What?
- 26:48Quite a technical That was a 11. Game Holland scored, but he
- 26:51scored in the 96 minute. And it was like, it wasn't like
- 26:54he did this amazing thing. He kind of just like, like
- 26:56tipped the ball. And someone had to tip that in.
- 26:59Someone that's evident, but it did feel good.
- 27:01It did feel good to see him do that right.
- 27:04Like it's like I was like as even as like a non somebody who
- 27:06kind of roots against them a little bit.
- 27:07So like, oh, I'm glad that this guy's.
- 27:09Going you go and feel bad for him because he's in a system
- 27:11that I just thought and remember when he was at was at Atlanta,
- 27:14he was doing, yeah, he was doing well at Atlanta.
- 27:17It wasn't that he just came to a Man United team that was in
- 27:19disarray and they put so much pressure on this kid.
- 27:22Well, he he also made a comment afterwards.
- 27:25He said something along along the lines of we needed the
- 27:27skull, but I also needed more like for himself or his
- 27:30confidence. The other noteworthy thing I
- 27:32think about that game is Lucia started.
- 27:34I know we kind of brush talked about it recently and we said we
- 27:37don't care, but he got the start play the full 90, which is even
- 27:40more surprising, and had 9.75 points, which isn't terrible.
- 27:43It's decent. It's pretty good.
- 27:45Decent. Yeah.
- 27:45It's all ghost buds 9 buds have. A ghost buds 3 key passes
- 27:49interception 3 Clearances 3 year olds 1 so.
- 27:52He's on waivers. He's coming up perfect.
- 27:54I have some notes. Yeah, I think that was a good
- 27:56shot. OK Agbadu is another player that
- 28:00did well. I don't know who that is.
- 28:01It sounds like a Southampton guy.
- 28:02Wolves. He's going wolves.
- 28:05I I know because I picked him up and he's been having AI.
- 28:08Don't know if you saw this or is he on waiters?
- 28:10Came in a row. No, no, he's on way.
- 28:12Yeah, so he had last game defender.
- 28:14Defender, yeah, 10.7 and a half points, 10.7511 points he didn't
- 28:2033% on Yeah, he didn't start the year.
- 28:21One that started his only played in the last 12 games is
- 28:24averaging 8.4. Yeah, I mean, this is a perfect
- 28:27example of like even I'm just being a little defenders and I'm
- 28:29the one that's been like yelling about what defenders, you know.
- 28:32But yeah, it's great. I think he's a great shot
- 28:35especially. So they play sitting next, but
- 28:37after that I think they have a pretty easy run out.
- 28:39I think it's like they play sitting next, but then they have
- 28:41Brighton, Crystal Palace, Brentford, which is not like,
- 28:44you know, that's pretty, that's pretty good.
- 28:47I don't they don't play Tottenham.
- 28:48Brian Wolff, Sorry. I'm thinking of Brian.
- 28:50Sorry. Yeah, so, yeah, so I think that
- 28:53I think that's a really good chat.
- 28:54I think that's actually a really good one.
- 28:55That would be a good one for Wave Race as well.
- 28:58Kenny Tete, 13.25 points. He was on waivers last week.
- 29:02He had a strong game that was and that was all ghost points as
- 29:04well. So that that really bodes well
- 29:06for the rest of their matches. I like him a lot, actually.
- 29:11Yeah, I, I think, yeah, I think Cassania, you know, I think he
- 29:15does a lot more than Cassania does.
- 29:16So he's excited. He's.
- 29:17Going to be my fourth round pick.
- 29:22The the rest of the season it's Villa this weekend and then it's
- 29:25Everton, Bradford and City. So there's some games in there.
- 29:28I don't know, Villa makes me a little nervous.
- 29:30Yeah, but Everton, Bradford, I think you definitely are excited
- 29:33about those games. And then City, it might not.
- 29:35That game might not matter by the end of the year.
- 29:37Yeah. So worth monitoring with him.
- 29:41Yeah, I like that one. We for 10.5 points Brighton
- 29:45player, 10% owned. I, I went back and looked at his
- 29:49like games before this and he just, even though he started and
- 29:53he started like the 10, didn't he?
- 29:55But like, I just didn't really, I didn't, I didn't think he was
- 29:57like generating enough points for me to like really get me
- 29:59excited about. This this was just the players
- 30:01in recent form in the last couple of games.
- 30:04Yeah, it's come to the end of the season.
- 30:07Totally, Yeah, I did. It's funny, like all these
- 30:10players up right now like Jack Hinson would refer, it's like
- 30:13there's, they're quite quite like secondary cast names, you
- 30:17know? But they show up every once one
- 30:19of them shows up. Yeah, you just, it's kind of
- 30:22playing whack A mole figuring out which one is going to show
- 30:24up. I should get into waivers.
- 30:26Yeah, that's kind of wives. All right, First one is who we
- 30:29just spoke about Jack Henson Wood, midfielder for Brighton,
- 30:3115% owned. And the reason is like you can
- 30:34make the same argument for Weifer.
- 30:35I just feel like it's just he has been less consistent.
- 30:38But Henson Wood, there's just been goals in the last few
- 30:40Brighton games. They've been conceding goals,
- 30:42but they've also been scoring goals.
- 30:44So, you know, you know, so he's been double digits in the last
- 30:49two games as well. So I think it's a good one.
- 30:50It's not like when you feel great about, but I think
- 30:52midfield right now is just so tough that that's about, you
- 30:55know, a little if you can ride a little bit of consistency,
- 30:58you're going to be happy with that.
- 31:00But again, same thing Brighton that whack A mole.
- 31:03Sure, it just it just doesn't feel great.
- 31:04But the one benefit about Brighton is that you can usually
- 31:08if your guy doesn't start that you have usually the guy that
- 31:12starts for him. Is it?
- 31:13He usually does. Well, yeah.
- 31:14He isn't owned by anyone, you know, so you can pick him up.
- 31:17OK, Next name to Tico's point, Luke Shaw, Man U 35% owned.
- 31:22Yeah, I think I think the biggest thing for me is that
- 31:24you. Man United has been much more
- 31:25defensively sound in recent months.
- 31:27So you know, they've just been like the the games they've lost,
- 31:31they've really lost like 10. They're not conceding tons and
- 31:33tons of goals like they were. So it's it's intriguing to me.
- 31:36And Shaw, you've seen him have a lot of success throughout the
- 31:39years in that wing back position for England, you know, and just
- 31:42elsewhere. And he definitely has that
- 31:43attacking flair. He's coming off a major injury.
- 31:45He's a little bit older. I don't know if he's really
- 31:47going to be the guy, but I think it's it's interesting.
- 31:51And like you know, 9.5 ghost points is nothing to laugh out
- 31:54from that regard. No.
- 31:56Next, another mid, Simon Odingra, another brand player,
- 31:5847% owned, you know, so just if you can, it's just managing that
- 32:02whack A mole. I think the one thing that Simon
- 32:04Odingra has over Jack, and So what is he plays higher up the
- 32:06pitch so you're more likely to get gold, misses contributions.
- 32:09I also really like him. I think he has he has some
- 32:11really good moments. He's had some really good
- 32:12moments in previous seasons. This year didn't really happen
- 32:14for him, but I think two years ago he was like a very viable
- 32:18like starting player. Injury shrinking.
- 32:19That's his problem. Yeah, most of these guys.
- 32:23All right, next one, Tati Gomez defense, Wolves 47% owned.
- 32:28He should be picked up in every league.
- 32:29Like the guy that we just spoke about.
- 32:31The other, the other Wolves defender like Todd, he's been
- 32:36doing that for, you know, three more like another a month before
- 32:39that. Just a really consistent like
- 32:40double digit games like and we talked about earlier about
- 32:43Wolves on the six game-winning streak and they're being led by
- 32:46that strong defensive performances.
- 32:47Like that's really what's been driving them.
- 32:49You know, obviously Queen is back.
- 32:50Obviously they're scoring some goals, but it's really just that
- 32:52strong defense. It's very it's like border like
- 32:55and Todd, he's been like his numbers have been like
- 32:56borderline elite since for the last like since February.
- 32:59So yeah, if he's available in your league, that's like, to me,
- 33:03that's maybe the number one, the season level, yeah.
- 33:05Strong end to the season. Yeah, the last one, it's kind of
- 33:07a double and it's just more the forward position in general,
- 33:10like like because it's kind of a waste end right now.
- 33:12There's really not much out there.
- 33:14There's a lot of injuries, there's not a lot of stuff going
- 33:16on. So it's full Kruger, Rich
- 33:17Charleston, I think are the two your two safest bets And they're
- 33:20in the 40 ish percent owned range.
- 33:22Yeah. And it's just it's just not a
- 33:23good time. And like Solanke started on the
- 33:25weekend, which I was actually surprised about because, you
- 33:29know, you thought he might be wrestling him.
- 33:30But then when you think about it, it's they have their game
- 33:32midweek. Tottenham does.
- 33:34So you think Slonkey probably starts out right.
- 33:36And then I if he starts that game, then I can't imagine that
- 33:39he starts on the weekend three days later.
- 33:42So I think that's a guaranteed for Charleston game.
- 33:45So I don't know. I think that that's a good one.
- 33:47And then I think full Krug is he only got 45 minutes in the last
- 33:50game, which isn't great. You were expecting him to get a
- 33:52full game, especially after scoring the game prior prior.
- 33:55But you know, it's just there's a lot of risk in these guys and
- 33:58it's not that pretty. But I think as far as safety
- 34:00goes, they're the two best two most like 2 most likely to get
- 34:04you something and get you the most minutes out of there.
- 34:07But if you really want to swing for the fences and go a high
- 34:09upside play we talked about earlier, a Domitory scoring like
- 34:1319.5 points. I don't know if he gets a start.
- 34:15The issue is as is he gonna. Start.
- 34:17Yeah, but scoring 19.5 points in 45 minutes.
- 34:22Put him on the radar. Yeah, put him on the radar and
- 34:24we've all seen like he, we know he has the physical attributes,
- 34:26just a matter of him putting it together.
- 34:28So maybe this time it'll finally click after all these years.
- 34:34All right, That's that's the way it is.
- 34:35Anything else? Anyone else you guys want to?
- 34:38Talk about Rexum. Rexum.
- 34:40That's pretty amazing. So they're the first team ever
- 34:43to be to get promoted 3 times in a row.
- 34:45Yeah, you think they do? You think they get into the prom
- 34:48next? Season, No, you don't think so?
- 34:50The manager came out and said they're going to have like a no
- 34:52superstar policy because I'm sure a lot of these retiring
- 34:55players, they will want to go there.
- 34:57Like they said, they don't want to go after Marty, they don't
- 34:59want to go after KDB. But at the same time, like how
- 35:02do you turn down? KDB they go off the.
- 35:04K Why would they go flat? KDB want.
- 35:06To go there. So what are KDB's options right
- 35:10if he wants? Not the champion.
- 35:11Not the fucking championship. But if he wants to become
- 35:15mainstream because of the TV show, he would go there just
- 35:19strictly because of that. KDB is already mainstream.
- 35:22No, he's mainstream amongst people like us.
- 35:24Being mainstream around like regulars is people who watch the
- 35:27TV show who are not soccer. Well, no.
- 35:28He's mainstream amongst the world football fans.
- 35:32Correct. But what I'm telling you is if
- 35:34he wants to be mainstream across people who are not football
- 35:37fans, like people watch the show that are not football fans, you
- 35:41realize this, right? Ends.
- 35:43No, I realized I just still don't see the fucking point of
- 35:45KDB going to Wrexham in the championship.
- 35:46So I. Think KDB I I just don't see a
- 35:49world where he does that. I I see your point.
- 35:50You go I see your point. But I think that there's like
- 35:52not enough of like a market crossover for him to be like,
- 35:55oh, this is worth it. I want to get hacked by like
- 35:57some guy named like Cottinger something.
- 35:59Yeah, you know some guy that's getting paid a quarter like a
- 36:0310th of what I get paid that's just going to be coming after my
- 36:05ankles every again. Vardy makes sense because I
- 36:08would see I could, I could. He's a battler because.
- 36:09He's a battler. To me, Vardy doesn't make sense.
- 36:11I don't think he would want to play against Lester.
- 36:13I think if they didn't get promoted, that was my point,
- 36:15yeah, last week, if I think if Rexam didn't get promoted, then
- 36:19Vardy could have gone and played over there.
- 36:21But now that they got promoted. So where's Vardy going to play?
- 36:23Because I ain't playing in the Premiership no no more.
- 36:26MLS So Saudi. Maybe MLS?
- 36:29Saudi go cuz I I don't think Vardy ever like made a shit load
- 36:32of money from his football career right?
- 36:34His career earnings could not be like a lot.
- 36:37They're they're not gonna be as high as he would have.
- 36:39They would have been if he would have left Lester, that's for
- 36:41sure. But I think Lester did end up
- 36:42paying him pretty well by the end.
- 36:44But if you go to Saudi and you know, play for like.
- 36:47Get a quick payday play for a year.
- 36:50Yeah, pay for it. You'll probably make what?
- 36:52You need I'd like what? I'm in.
- 36:53Three years. I'm actually very surprised at
- 36:55his career earnings 66.5 million.
- 36:59You remember he won an FA Cup, he won a league.
- 37:02You get you. Get Yeah, but what's his yearly?
- 37:04I mean, what's his? What's he making every two
- 37:06weeks? Seven, his annual salary is 7.3.
- 37:09Well, it's pretty high. It is, but I thought it wouldn't
- 37:12be decide because he didn't have like a long career.
- 37:16When he came to the Premiership he was already on the pretty old
- 37:19he was already. On the older.
- 37:20Side yeah, so but even you go to Saudi you can get like 50 a year
- 37:23easily. That's OK.
- 37:26It's so broken. I don't know if Saudi's gonna
- 37:28really go in for him. I think they're trying to go for
- 37:30younger guys, but whatever. I don't know what John Duran's
- 37:34doing in Saudi. It's amazing.
- 37:36People, players just go to Saudi and they disappear.
- 37:38So he's actually living pretty far away from where he's playing
- 37:42because he's living with someone who he's not married with with.
- 37:46So he can't live there. Yeah.
- 37:49God damn. Yeah.
- 37:51Feel like. He's taking the helicopter in
- 37:52every. Day, it's like it's hard drive.
- 37:53I don't know if it's taking a helicopter or like a jet or
- 37:57whatever it is, but. I'm sorry, I don't care for the
- 37:59sound. It's just like when this Chinese
- 38:01Super League started. I just start.
- 38:03I think the issue with them is like no one wants like, like
- 38:05cool, you sign the player, it makes headlines, but then like
- 38:08who's watching the Saudi league? Dude, nobody.
- 38:12Not to. Tiko.
- 38:15My friends have kids and like my nieces and nephews and you, I,
- 38:20they still know about Christiano Ronaldo because he still makes
- 38:23you. And I think it's not watching
- 38:24the match. I think it's them watching their
- 38:26like Instagram posts or whatever.
- 38:29Yeah, highlights all of that stuff that moves the needle for
- 38:31them. Because nowadays that's all
- 38:33people. People care more about that.
- 38:35I mean, how would I don't even know how I would watch Saudi to
- 38:38be honest on TV. Yeah, I don't know.
- 38:40I just don't think, I think it's so hard to break into like the
- 38:43like, because ultimately what they want to do is they want to
- 38:45raise the status of the league. So then like league so that they
- 38:48can negotiate like better TV deals, right.
- 38:50And like negotiate these things where it actually just to make
- 38:52the money. But like you need to prove that
- 38:54people want to watch it first. I guess right now I don't know.
- 38:57You know I love is that we went from Wrexham to the Saudi
- 39:00league. Yeah, we did.
- 39:02Took a little backwards path. OK, so the here's I I there's an
- 39:06interesting question about Wrexham though.
- 39:07Is that, is it impressive that they've done it or is it just
- 39:11like a Man City thing where they've had, they've had more
- 39:12money than every league that they've got up?
- 39:14In No, they don't have more money than everyone.
- 39:16They do have more money. They they definitely have more
- 39:18money. They don't, but they have don't
- 39:20get wrong, I think that is true for when they were a semi pro
- 39:23league and they were buying players from the above league to
- 39:25get them into the next round. But if you really think about
- 39:28it, they've had, what's his name Foster are they got, they had
- 39:33him for a season and a half and he left.
- 39:36But tell me another name on there that is a well known name.
- 39:40You don't even you don't need well known names.
- 39:42You could get a guy from the freaking championship who we've
- 39:44never even heard of to go down and he'd dominate in like the.
- 39:47But they but they didn't do that.
- 39:48They kept this. They kept Mullen, you know we.
- 39:51Are the guy. Do you think though, I mean, OK,
- 39:55so you don't think there's going to be that much turnover in the
- 39:57squad? And so Antigo, they might not
- 39:58have the most money, like they're not rich owners, but I
- 40:00think like the amount of revenue they can show on their books
- 40:02because they all because of the because of the TV show, it
- 40:04allows them to spend more money than a lot of other.
- 40:07TV But that's the interesting thing, Keith, the revenue they
- 40:10make from the TV show because there's, you know, are they
- 40:12allowed to use that money to buy players or not?
- 40:14So I think, I think it's revenue for the TV.
- 40:17It's revenue from the TV show, but it's also remember, like you
- 40:20were just talking about. We bought the right.
- 40:22But you also got to remember they're on TV.
- 40:25Everyone's fucking watching it. They got more party Worldwide
- 40:27fans, especially in America, than anyone else.
- 40:30So people are buying those jerseys.
- 40:31And again, that's more money coming into the fucking.
- 40:34They're smart. Yeah.
- 40:35And it's like and it's The thing is it's not just revenue, it's
- 40:37revenue that they can like book and I think put towards buying
- 40:40players. It's like revenue that's like
- 40:43PSR viable revenue, you know? Have you guys seen their table?
- 40:48Cuz they're in second place and they're qualified.
- 40:50They're qualified. I don't know, but the first
- 40:53place in Birmingham is like 16 points, 15, yeah.
- 40:57Yeah. Yeah, that's Tom Brady's team.
- 40:59Tom Brady and JJ Watt. Yeah, kinda cool.
- 41:03OK, so OK, that was a crazy tangent, but let's let's just
- 41:05focus real quick on next week's games.
- 41:07So this is the we have a full retinue of games this time.
- 41:10So we're not, you know, there's no missing, there's no deal.
- 41:12Well, we still have one game left for this week, Forest
- 41:15Versus. We do have one game right left
- 41:16for this week. You're right.
- 41:16But we're gonna pretend like that game happened, All right?
- 41:20Not in Forest. Bradford.
- 41:21We'll see. I would love to see a little
- 41:23Brentford upset. I'm not sure about you guys.
- 41:25Only if Lewis passed scores. Are you guys, so are you guys
- 41:29tighten your? We haven't even talked about our
- 41:30matchups. You guys tighten yours?
- 41:31Yeah, I'm tired. 20 points I think it is.
- 41:34I think I'm I'm dominating Sergei.
- 41:35It's pounded in the ground. So you're, you're up 40, aren't
- 41:38you? Oh.
- 41:39Up 40. Only 40?
- 41:40That's cute. So you guys, so you guys seem
- 41:43absolutely what ballistic this week?
- 41:45Konya, man. Kunya Sala slobisai I scored.
- 41:49147, almost 100 and 45148 points and I had to play that at -8
- 41:54points. Pretty funny.
- 41:57OK, focusing up the into round 35 talking about that
- 42:02interesting is the one that I'm really, really curious about is
- 42:04that Manchester City wolves game because it's just wolves has
- 42:06been so defensively, they've been so sound and they've looked
- 42:09so good. They're on a six game-winning
- 42:11streak and then city also is on like such a tear.
- 42:13So it kind of like who breaks in this game?
- 42:15Like who, you know? I want Wolves to win so badly.
- 42:18Yeah, I think. I think we all.
- 42:20We all do, Yeah. But like as far as like some
- 42:22some of the world's players, like are you we've been talking
- 42:24about world's defenders. Are you a little hesitant
- 42:27because of the Man City game or you just go, they've been so
- 42:29good, you? Roll absolutely.
- 42:30They've been playing with No Fear, man.
- 42:32They've been playing with No Fear.
- 42:33So like the wing backs are going to go down the wings.
- 42:35Kanye's going to do his thing. I think like Gomez in the middle
- 42:39is going to work, work hard. I think if they work harder than
- 42:42Man C does in the midfield they'll be fine.
- 42:44OK. The next one that question about
- 42:46is Aston Villa Fulham. I think it's the same question
- 42:49though. It's like the Fulham defenders,
- 42:50you guys, no issue. I'm just.
- 42:53Is what? Villa's not really playing for
- 42:54anything anymore. This isn't no.
- 42:56So top four, top 4. Top four.
- 42:59Top four. Top 4.
- 43:00I mean, I guess you're kinda. Yeah, they are.
- 43:03There's there's seven currently. So yeah, they're.
- 43:05They're still in it. So I guess the question is,
- 43:08Fulham's not really playing for anything this.
- 43:09Is no. Fulham's not paying for it.
- 43:10So you're a little worried about like the Anthony Robinsons,
- 43:13Kenny Tetas, Ryan Sesenjong's about starting them.
- 43:15You know, I think they keep playing.
- 43:18I think he may, he might put in a couple plays here and there
- 43:21maybe to rest them for next season.
- 43:22But I think they, I think they play OK.
- 43:25Everton, Ipswich. I just want to shout out that
- 43:27this would be a good game. If you're really struggling,
- 43:29maybe like an outcries or like one of those Everton midfielders
- 43:32might be interesting in this game.
- 43:34And then I don't know if you guys are Tarkovski's not for the
- 43:36year. Done for the year.
- 43:38Ranked #2 or #3 defender, Yeah, on my team.
- 43:41That's rough. That's my that's my fifth round
- 43:44pick. Leicester, Southampton, I would
- 43:47be amazing to see Southampton get another point so they just
- 43:50don't become the there was right now they're tied for the worst
- 43:52team ever in the league, so it'd be nice for them to not be to.
- 43:55Not be. No, that's more than they're.
- 43:57Playing, they're playing Leicester can't score a goal so.
- 44:00That's what I mean. I think I actually kind of bet I
- 44:02this would be a game I might gamble on.
- 44:03I might gamble on Southampton to win.
- 44:04I bet you the odds are kind of good.
- 44:07Keith, you just keep get on pick.
- 44:09Bro it makes sense why Keith wanted Liverpool to banish their
- 44:11players, they're playing Chelsea.
- 44:13Oh yeah, that's also I was talking about the existence.
- 44:17So. But I think there's something
- 44:18there though. I think Chelsea, there might be
- 44:20some interesting Chelsea elements because of that
- 44:22Liverpool situation. I think the other one to shout
- 44:25out is West Ham, Tottenham, two teams that have just really been
- 44:28struggling in the league. No, Tom's going to come 17 man.
- 44:30West Ham's going to be. You really think so?
- 44:33Bro, I'm fucking done. That'd be you're just upset
- 44:37you're speaking with your your sad heart, not your not your
- 44:40big. Breath Yeah, W West Ham.
- 44:41We fucking dude we, we suck. Is this the lowest Tottenham
- 44:48finished? In your fanhood, in fan, in my
- 44:51life, I've seen him go 15th. That's the lowest I've seen
- 44:54Tottenham. Wow, this is a historic year.
- 44:57Southampton might be the worst team ever.
- 44:59Tottenham might have the lowest finished in your lifetime.
- 45:02This is great. It's so bad man, and Ciao.
- 45:07Oh, I think it's just out. I think there's no way.
- 45:10There's always says. Fucking lovely games, terrible
- 45:13all. Right, Any other games you guys
- 45:15want to talk about? It's not really like anything.
- 45:19It's like the Manchester scene. Wolves Games is really the only
- 45:21one I'm looking forward to. Yeah.
- 45:23Kind of game, yeah, Yeah. The season needs to wrap up.
- 45:26It's. Over with, you know, that's
- 45:28because you don't want anything fucking happen for you in the
- 45:31Premier League I. Think you're fantasy?
- 45:33Are we going to talk about this? Right that you're, you're what?
- 45:37What would it take for you to not win our league now?
- 45:39He. Has to lose out and you win out.
- 45:42Because. Four games left.
- 45:44Four games left. You're you're up games. 100 I
- 45:49meant behind you by three games. Three games.
- 45:50So he's he's going to win this week, so he has to lose the next
- 45:53three games and not score that many points and you win all your
- 45:56games and fucking go. Off because I'm over 130 points
- 46:01ahead of you. I have no more players.
- 46:03I don't know if you have any more players and there are after
- 46:06this week. We have 4 weeks left so all I
- 46:09have to do you need a one. You need to either lose, yeah,
- 46:11If you win, we'll get one more win.
- 46:13You're pretty much secured. But if you lose, I'm also
- 46:15secure. Yeah.
- 46:17And then you have to put up, like, 300 points.
- 46:19I mean, it's, you know, it's not over.
- 46:21I mean, we've seen things that we never thought we would see,
- 46:23like top the finishing 17. But it's happening.
- 46:26So sure, next week I play against Sergei.
- 46:30The weekend I little brotherly love.
- 46:32The the game after I play play just give me delight you.
- 46:36Know what's pretty bad, I wonder.
- 46:38That's an I guaranteed win. You don't.
- 46:40I don't know that because it depends, like most.
- 46:42Solid situation too. And then I play as I've already
- 46:45signed Chapardo. And then I wrap up by playing my
- 46:47good friend, my beloved Kyle. You know what's really bad is I
- 46:52have all those games. The one I want him to win the
- 46:54most is next week. Why?
- 46:56Just so you can beat his brother.
- 46:57Yeah, because I need AB in 3rd. You know, yeah, I was actually
- 47:01thinking about this. Once I establish what if it's
- 47:05clinch like next week, I want to trade all, I want to trade all
- 47:09my best players again to the people that are playing ends up
- 47:14just like this is. That might be a veto.
- 47:17If you start trying. To influence, because that's
- 47:19very not in the spirit of the game, yeah.
- 47:22You know, you actually like, yeah, yeah.
- 47:26This is upsetting DS. You, but you did that.
- 47:30I did what? No talk about him trading Diaz,
- 47:34that's his fault. Yeah, that was, yeah, that was a
- 47:36self, self. Oh, nada.
- 47:37You weren't trying to scheme. You know.
- 47:39That was self. Inflicting, you know, guys, I
- 47:40was just going to tell you a great way to make, you know, put
- 47:43100 and one $650, but by this attack I'm thinking of not doing
- 47:47it. I think I'll shoot it, shoot it.
- 47:50Wolves plus 650, Simple as that. What about Southampton?
- 47:59Oh my God, I'm saying plus 200 two 95.
- 48:03They're +200 So here's the thing, we could make a parlay,
- 48:08multiple game parlay. I just put one up there that's
- 48:11plus 6800. I can read it to you.
- 48:14It's not crazy, trust me, it's not a crazy 1.
- 48:17So Friday is the wolves game. So let's say if the wolves win,
- 48:21we have the cash out option. We don't have to go through with
- 48:23the rest of it. It won't be at plus 650, but it
- 48:25will still be pretty good. And then I have let me see, let
- 48:30me pull this up. I have forest over Crystal
- 48:33Palace. That's the last game of the
- 48:36week, though, on Monday. Correct forest is +2 O 5.
- 48:39OK, I have. I do like that.
- 48:42I have Everton over Ipswich, which is -170.
- 48:47It's a draw. I had a game as a draw written
- 48:48all over it. And then I have Arsenal over
- 48:50Bournemouth, that's plus -110. I think we just stick there if
- 48:54we're going to better our game, I'm down to better wolves.
- 48:56But I think, I think that's, I think I'll leave it at that.
- 49:00Look at his face. So just look at his little boat.
- 49:03Look at his boat. It's all upset.
- 49:05So how about wolves in forest with the cash out option?
- 49:08Nah plus 2200. I don't like that that Crystal
- 49:11Palestine has been so good. They just, they just spanked
- 49:14Acevella. They just they finally Gladys
- 49:17has finally found it a little bit late, but he found.
- 49:19It yeah I don't want to mess with that The wolves have been
- 49:21enforced have been fading. We don't even know what like
- 49:24we're we'd make this we're going to place this bet before I even
- 49:26see them play Brentford on Friday.
- 49:28I. Mean.
- 49:29On Thursday, I mean. We can make this bet on.
- 49:31And they play. They play Thursday.
