Transcript
- 0:00You're in the same category for me in fantasy as Arsenal is in
- 0:04real life. Now you know how hard I was.
- 0:07We got the two, the 22 drawing as Man C, You know how upset I
- 0:10was, but still happy, but upset inside that I helped Arsenal
- 0:15slightly. It's the same thing, broth.
- 0:17But what have I done? You're you.
- 0:20You're Tico. You're an arsehole.
- 0:21Completely. You're a terrible winner.
- 0:24Terrible. I gave a speech in a suit.
- 0:29Honestly, Keith, you could be the judge.
- 0:32Wait, Keith. Wait, Keith.
- 0:35He's got. Yes, motherfucker.
- 0:38Love that. I was going to let him be the
- 0:39deciding factor if. There's no deciding factor.
- 0:42He doesn't want you as a winner either.
- 0:43We know this for a fact. No.
- 0:45No, no, I'm saying I have not been.
- 0:47I feel like I have not been obnoxious as a champion
- 0:49whatsoever. Should I lead us off?
- 0:52You're going to do the intro and then I'm going to jump straight
- 0:54into waivers and then we'll do then we'll do news and notes
- 0:59after waivers. Yeah, go on.
- 1:02Let me start this. Get get yourself ready.
- 1:05Go on goose Fraba, goose fraba. Like it's fucking really working
- 1:10yourself up mentally just so she me so my, my, my, my, my, my,
- 1:15my, my, my, my, little, little. Hello everyone, welcome to draft
- 1:19off sides episode #123 it's myself.
- 1:23Deco joined with Enzo who I have some words for later on.
- 1:29Keith is still out, hopefully he'll be back in the next couple
- 1:31of weeks. Big week in fantasy and
- 1:36obviously just the shit that happened.
- 1:39Arsenal won a game without an own goal.
- 1:41Obviously you know, big news. Finally, pieces of shit.
- 1:46But it was an own goal and then they changed it to a goal from
- 1:51Matawaki. Like also the game was done.
- 1:54They have to cry for it. OK, just make just want to make
- 1:57that clear. We're doing a little different
- 1:59this week. We're going to change the
- 2:00format, format up a little bit. We're going to start off with
- 2:03waivers. Go ahead and get us all right.
- 2:06Waivers You've got Matthias Monet from Wolves.
- 2:08Forward 49%, owned 3 double digits in four games.
- 2:12Only one goal on those means he's getting points.
- 2:14Otherwise, if you need a forward, I mean Adley from
- 2:18Bournemouth, we spoke about him for the last couple of weeks,
- 2:20he's another forward 25% Only we know how hard forwards are in
- 2:23this league. Repeat from last week.
- 2:25Now another goal contribution and another double digit game.
- 2:28He has Villa, Everton, West Ham and Sunderland next.
- 2:31Villa's going to be a little bit tough but I think he's got good
- 2:33match ups for the next 3. Ryan Victor from Bournemouth,
- 2:37another forward, they've got an array on that roster at the
- 2:41moment. We've got option left front.
- 2:43It's a little bit of risky business on this guy.
- 2:45I'd look if he's starting or not, but he only got an assist
- 2:48on 22 minutes. Will he get another start?
- 2:50I'm not sure. AWB from West Ham, I just snuck
- 2:53in, got snuck in. 54% own, should be close to 9% own going
- 2:57by form. West Ham's been playing better.
- 3:00AWBA big part of that defensively and offensively.
- 3:03Burnley, United and Bournemouth next Some good match ups Man
- 3:07United does on the way up but Burnley just got smacked by
- 3:10Sunderland today and then Bournemouth's been up and down
- 3:13learning goals. Pascal shot from Leeds.
- 3:16Defender 41% owned 8.25 points in a four nil loss. 11 and 11
- 3:22the last two games. Busy defender.
- 3:24He's got Forest and Chelsea next.
- 3:26It just shows that even in a four nil loss he still gets his
- 3:29points. You got to think about that.
- 3:30He lost 6 points and he's still got 8.25.
- 3:33Ian Matson Villa defender, 37% owned, Averaging over 10 points
- 3:37a game last three games. Played the four light full 90
- 3:40minutes in the last two Could be an option for defenders.
- 3:45Ola Aina Another defender from Forest, 44% owned, 2 double
- 3:49digit games in a row. Leeds and Wolves necks very
- 3:52favourable match ups and then set Vanderburgh.
- 3:55We keep talking about this guy. Brentford defender 27% owned.
- 3:59Forget the team, forget the name. 4 double digits in a row
- 4:03should be swooped up. They're a busy defender.
- 4:07Newcastle and Arsenal next, but after that Brian, Burnley,
- 4:10Bournemouth and Wolves. So just couple notes on those.
- 4:14Even for Newcastle and Arsenal, it's not like they're putting a
- 4:16lot of goals. So even against those teams, you
- 4:18could play to play him. And the one thing I would say
- 4:20about Ian Matson, that's three games in a row where he's
- 4:22scoring 10 plus or almost 10 points.
- 4:25His lowest scoring game in those three games is 9.75, and that's
- 4:29the only game he had a clean sheet.
- 4:30The other two, they lost 10 and he scored over 10 points.
- 4:34So he's doing in other ways, takeaways, he passes, all that
- 4:36stuff. He's finally becoming the player
- 4:40Keith has been talking about for two years.
- 4:43Hey man, that's a few players, man.
- 4:45We know about that already. Watch him get bench now.
- 4:48Oh shit. All right, now we're going to do
- 4:51some headlines, just some. We're going to focus on player
- 4:54movements that happened in the last day of signing day.
- 4:56So what I'm going to do is go through the player, the team,
- 5:00and then and then I'm going to ask you if it's fab worthy.
- 5:05So just kind of power through it.
- 5:06Yes, no, and like, give me a ballpark of what you think.
- 5:09All right, let's go. So first one, Jeremy Jaquet,
- 5:13Joyce Liverpool. He's a center back from Reigns,
- 5:16the French league. Fab Worthy.
- 5:18He's a backhoe. I love that.
- 5:20He's fab worthy. Not fab.
- 5:23I feel like that's gonna be the trend.
- 5:24Tyree George, he's almost from Chelsea to Everton.
- 5:27He's a 20 year old winger. Fab Worthy.
- 5:30Well, he's deaf. He might because is he taking
- 5:33Griller to spot to cover him for the next couple of weeks?
- 5:36Because they just got rid of Dwight McNeil too.
- 5:38So there is options there. So he could be, but you either
- 5:42go early and put some fab on him and then regret it Leo, or
- 5:45you're a genius. I agree this is kind of a a high
- 5:48upside one. ISIL Desasi 2 worst time
- 5:52defender from Chelsea. Fab Worthy.
- 5:54No, because they let in goals. And don't get 2 sheets.
- 5:58Exactly. Palace complete, move forward.
- 6:01Strand, Larson, Fab Worthy. If Matzetta had left and went to
- 6:06Juventus or AC Mana, which he still could do to Juventus, then
- 6:09yes. If no, are you going to stop
- 6:12Matzetta or are you going to start Strand?
- 6:14Larson, I think. Mateta, as you mentioned, he
- 6:19didn't pass his physical with Milan, but looks like they still
- 6:22want to send him to Juventus. Sounds like he's probably going
- 6:25to be on his way out just because it's going to be messy.
- 6:28How do you welcome him back in? Brendan Johnson got the starts.
- 6:32The first couple of games he didn't really do much.
- 6:36So I don't understand this whole Larsen thing just because I
- 6:42think they pay like 40 something million for him.
- 6:44This guy has what, one or two goals?
- 6:46It's not worth 47,000,000 now, but was it 47 million?
- 6:49I thought it was 27 and 27,000,000.
- 6:51Sounds about right was. It.
- 6:53Yeah, it wasn't that much. Man.
- 6:56If it was, they just got robbed blind.
- 6:59Let's see, kind of want to look it up. 48 million.
- 7:02Fuck. Off.
- 7:04Yeah, yeah, no, 48 million. And again, we thought he would
- 7:09be really good when he went to the wolves because he's a big
- 7:11target. Never panned out.
- 7:13I mean and 2425 he had fourteen goals and four assists.
- 7:18Yeah, that's. When Cunya was there and opening
- 7:19up for. Him, but what do what does
- 7:22Palace do? Well, put the balls in the box.
- 7:25He's like 6-4 giant. So I think this one I would put
- 7:29in regardless. Put in some fab because seems
- 7:32like he's going to get some playing time regardless and then
- 7:36this is some different something else.
- 7:38That's it for the player moves. Just a general question.
- 7:42You could pick one. What do we think of a person
- 7:44that messages the other teams in the league and tells hey, your
- 7:47player is on the bench, you need to move someone else, they're
- 7:49not starting. What kind of a scum are they?
- 7:52What level of hell will they end up in?
- 7:53Are they just the total piece of shit I.
- 7:55Got a thing? You got to give the full story
- 7:58and have the understanding of both sides.
- 7:59No, no, no. No, no.
- 8:00It's just it's just pick one of those.
- 8:03I don't think I've always, I think they're a Good Samaritan
- 8:06and they're looking out for the best outcome for the league and
- 8:10there might be something selfish there also.
- 8:13But whether it's selfish or it's helping two people and upsetting
- 8:171 so you know the the positive outweighs the negative that
- 8:21person. Has to look themselves in the
- 8:22mirror, and I look. Myself in the mirror every day
- 8:24and I smile from ear to ear because I am proud of my
- 8:28decisions. Lead 0, Arsenal 4.
- 8:31Saka got injured. He was.
- 8:33He was supposed to start. I guess he got injured last
- 8:35minute. Not sure what the injury is.
- 8:38Maduki gets the starts, Christ through the EPL gets the goal,
- 8:42scores 28.25 points. Gilchrist.
- 8:46If Chris is playing Leeds, you start it.
- 8:49But the bad news is they're not going to play him again anymore.
- 8:51It's the second time they played 15.25 points.
- 8:54Now he has the top goal scorer with six on goals, is trailing
- 8:58by two goals or one goal 2. Goals.
- 9:00They have two goals. Yeah, 4.
- 9:03Jesus played last minutes and scored 16 points came out and
- 9:06scored and then Zubi Mandy got a goal as well. 17.25 that's rare.
- 9:12Gabriel 16 points, 10 ghost points.
- 9:14That's. A lot.
- 9:16Of good points. Yeah, that's a lot of.
- 9:17Ghost points, That's good, man. I put that in for Jesus because
- 9:22he played like 20 minutes and got 16 points.
- 9:25Yokores played like 70 minutes and got that many points because
- 9:30he really didn't do too much other than that.
- 9:33And honestly we see him with Yokrez.
- 9:34He doesn't score against three of the big teams.
- 9:36All his goals have come from the the bomb alpha type so also.
- 9:40Jesus was their best striker in recent years.
- 9:42It's just the first year he was there, he was amazing.
- 9:45And then he's just been injured the whole time.
- 9:47Yeah, which has been the story for his career.
- 9:51But he already has two goals in not a lot of games.
- 9:55Yeah, yeah. All right, next game, Wolves 0,
- 9:59Borma 2 Petrova 7 saves. That's crazy. 21.25 points.
- 10:04Adli. Adli has yeah, who we talked
- 10:06about in the waivers. Gets an assist. 13.5 croupy
- 10:09goal, 13.5 points. Love saying croupy.
- 10:12I don't know. Why are you going to be croupy?
- 10:16Are you croupy groupie? It's a beautiful hot goal half
- 10:20volley. It was very nice.
- 10:22Scott scores 20 points. I always want to call them Mane,
- 10:26like Gucci Mane, 10.25 points, all ghosts.
- 10:29Mane 10.25 points. All right, next game, Brighton
- 10:34won. Everton won.
- 10:36Pascal Gross scores the goal, which cost me my matchup.
- 10:40It was. Yeah, it was not.
- 10:42He's back, baby. I think Pascal Gross is back.
- 10:46He's like came back like nothing ever happened.
- 10:48Like, he left for a year and a half, came back and he's like
- 10:51back to business. Grass is not always Screener on
- 10:54the other side. He scored a goal, huh?
- 10:57Another one. Ayari with an assist, 9.75
- 11:02points. Beto scores 97 minute on his
- 11:06birthday. Oh sure.
- 11:07Happy birthday, beta, Happy birthday.
- 11:08Brother, Yeah. You suck.
- 11:10But happy birthday. O'Brien 19.75 points Fan tracks
- 11:14assists for double digits in a row Only one clean sheet point.
- 11:18Man O'Brien has been really good.
- 11:19He's been. Done it wrong.
- 11:22He he still had a good score about that assist, but you did
- 11:26you see how he got the assist? No, I did not, he took.
- 11:30A fucking shot. It bounced off the goalkeeper
- 11:31and landed the fuck game. Battle in battle score.
- 11:34That's fine. He's on my team.
- 11:36I mean, and then everything's going to be interesting because
- 11:39now. They lack options.
- 11:42Yeah. So they're very thin.
- 11:45Sendai will be a a go ahead star.
- 11:50They lost they Gary Dwight McNeil.
- 11:51So yeah, they've got nothing in the middle anymore.
- 11:58What they do, they do. They've got Ghana purely.
- 12:01She's out for a while, yeah. Yeah, we'll see.
- 12:05This was a good game. Chelsea three West Ham 2 Chelsea
- 12:09go down early to zero. I mean, you have to be a piece
- 12:11of like a terrible team to lose to West Ham.
- 12:14So you know they come back. They scored three in the
- 12:17second-half. Bowman scores 20.5 points, AWB 2
- 12:21assists, 20.5 points identical. Somerville continues good from
- 12:26three goals in three games. He came off the bench, right?
- 12:28Or he started this game. He started game of Subs for
- 12:33Chelsea. Pedro off the bench scores 18.25
- 12:36points, assists for Fofana 13 1/2 and Cucarella scores.
- 12:41He did that goal by Kukurila. Can I?
- 12:43Say he's the most hated player, I think in the world by so many
- 12:47players he's got, you see. Did you see how he got like
- 12:50shouldered like to the floor? He got thrown like thrown out
- 12:53like a rag doll by rag. Chari Yeah, we'll talk about.
- 12:56We'll talk about that, yeah. As a stewards winner, 11.5
- 13:00points. Pedro assist.
- 13:02All right, go ahead and talk about the.
- 13:06Fight. So I guess him and Chary and
- 13:09Kura Cucaro in the corner and then like somehow it goes out.
- 13:12But then Cucaro must have fucking like been leaning
- 13:15against him because he had his head down like this and all you
- 13:17see is Charyo fucking manhandled that for pushing back.
- 13:21The funny thing for me was that fucking fucking Zhao Pedro
- 13:26pushes Chary in the back. Chary turns round.
- 13:29The fear in this motherfucker's eyes when he saw Jari was
- 13:33fucking unbelievable. Oh.
- 13:35I saw that. Instantly regretted what he did,
- 13:38but he would you. I'm not fucking with Jari.
- 13:41He walks like he's got a fucking like his back is just full of
- 13:45muscles, like he's swolled. That's that's how swell he is.
- 13:48He's got no neck. You know, he says he's never.
- 13:51No, he does. Weights.
- 13:52He does weights. Don't.
- 13:53Don't say it. He does weights.
- 13:54I don't give a shit what he says.
- 13:55He's doing what? I I thought the cool thing about
- 13:57this was I don't know if you saw this at halftime, Robert, the
- 14:02goalkeeper, Sanchez for Chelsea, he was walking by the fan side
- 14:06where they were like booing the team.
- 14:07And he said, hey, we still have 45 minutes to play.
- 14:09We still have a whole half. And they came out of score three
- 14:12goals. So I thought that was pretty
- 14:13cool to see. Yeah, a gorilla, obviously, like
- 14:15a he he just want to punch him in the face.
- 14:18I don't know what it. Is this is the son about his
- 14:20face they love? Guests to start, no goal.
- 14:23And then honestly, I think it's just like you said, the Subs
- 14:27reshamed was on the bench. Garnacho played like oh.
- 14:31My God, horrible. That first half was horrible
- 14:35offensively and defensively horrible.
- 14:38I don't. Know if you saw there was a clip
- 14:39of him saying how do you misplace 3 passes in a row?
- 14:42It's in one possession he makes like 3 passes and two of them
- 14:45are like short passes just goes yeah, yeah but overall, you
- 14:50know, Chelsea's capable of scoring.
- 14:53How did Cole Palmer do in this game?
- 14:55Was he he only? Got like 2.5 points this game.
- 14:58He really didn't have too much, too much possession.
- 15:02A lot of it was going through Enzo and Neto.
- 15:05That's what I noticed. Like even the lap, like the lap
- 15:10was just fouling people just to feel like he was part of the
- 15:13game. There's a couple Chelsea players
- 15:15and then the lap being one of them and Palm being another that
- 15:17just didn't feel like they were part of the game.
- 15:20I I know if. Keith was here, He would make
- 15:22the excuse of oh, he's been injured this and that, but he
- 15:26has played thirteen games, 11 starts, only four goals, no
- 15:30assists. I don't know.
- 15:32I feel like I don't know if they saw them or something is off,
- 15:35but obviously he is the most disappointing player of the
- 15:38fantasy year. You.
- 15:39Would say I would. I would partly agree with you,
- 15:41but because he's been injured, I gotta say that he's not the most
- 15:46unimpressive player of this season.
- 15:48We've got a few of those. Even though even if they did
- 15:51come back, like who we got, we got 4IN what?
- 15:55Even though he's playing well, he's 27th I think in the league
- 15:58right now. But before that, 30. 2nd. 32nd,
- 16:01he was trash for most of the season before this.
- 16:04I think that Palmer has been injured and he's not been
- 16:09injured once. He had that one really bad one.
- 16:11He's had a couple in between, so he just hasn't got the flow yet.
- 16:15So took not to get to bog down on this, but where it's coming
- 16:21from a different league. Yeah.
- 16:23Expectation we did talk about how he's going to struggle as
- 16:26well, but and also called Palmer if even if we look at points per
- 16:30game, not start points per game, guess where he ranks?
- 16:3558th, 2:00. 115. Well look, but he hasn't.
- 16:40But he hasn't had enough runner games and play.
- 16:43This is the first 9 minutes he's played since he came back from
- 16:45injury. Injury.
- 16:47He hasn't been playing for 9 minutes.
- 16:49Give him a second. Am I saying he's having a giving
- 16:51an excuse? You can say I am, but he's going
- 16:54to. Let's judge him at the end of
- 16:56the season. He had a run where he played 10
- 16:59games in a row and he started 9 games in a row.
- 17:02He started and he played. He had only three goals in that
- 17:06in nine and he had games where he had like 1.3 and a half.
- 17:09Like don't get wrong is it superstar numbers but he still
- 17:13scored three goals, 30% also. Injuries are part of the game,
- 17:18so oh I. Agree.
- 17:19Yeah. So it's again he if I, if I had
- 17:23the 1st overall pick, I was going to take Cole Palmer.
- 17:25So this is where he was ranked top to top three.
- 17:28I hear you and. I'm not saying that it's not,
- 17:30but we're talking about injuries are part of the game, but then
- 17:33you can't give them their valuation for the whole season
- 17:36because they couldn't play more than half the season, you know
- 17:39what I mean? It's tough.
- 17:41So I'm glad we came to the conclusion that he's the most
- 17:44disappointing player of the year.
- 17:46Jack, let's move on. Do we have something for this
- 17:50Liverpool four and Newcastle one?
- 17:52That's lightning sound? No, I've noticed Akitika gets a
- 17:55brace 26.75 points. Wertz gets a golden assist 22.25
- 18:00points, averaging 9.8 after like you, like we talked about
- 18:05terrible start earlier in the year.
- 18:08We're talking do you start him? Do you bench him?
- 18:09Fantasy wise? Obviously this guy just figured
- 18:12this out. He is a talent, he's obviously
- 18:14amazing and I'm going to talk more about him later on.
- 18:18Salah gets 13 points, gets an assist still contributing,
- 18:21becomes the first player in Premier history to have double
- 18:24digit goal and assists against one team.
- 18:27Thank you, Newcastle. Yeah.
- 18:29And. Newcastle's like, not a shitty
- 18:31team, you know? Yeah, I guess, yeah.
- 18:34Gordon thinks he's playing in the Euro.
- 18:36Scores a goal, 14 points. He benched.
- 18:41He played the starting nine, He benched with and of ultimate,
- 18:44which two players have been pretty disappointing ever since
- 18:48We still came back. Yeah, yeah.
- 18:50Ironically Kirk has assists 14 1/2 going out.
- 18:54They goal 18.5 points so the defender is kind of stepping up
- 18:57for Liverpool as well. Kirk has started to play bad was
- 19:02mentioned as before. He's actually started to be more
- 19:04valuable. He's obviously the number one
- 19:06now after them trying to get rid of Robinson.
- 19:09Like I said, Canate and Van Dyke are going to be a start and send
- 19:12it back to Liverpool. So the guy from Rennes, he's
- 19:15going to be back up. But Canal is not going to get a
- 19:18goal every week. But Kirk is does have the
- 19:20capability of getting some ghost points in there.
- 19:23He got what, 8.5 ghost points in there so it's not too bad.
- 19:28Villa 0, Bradford one Well. They they just have to win this
- 19:32game, bro. They just have to win this game
- 19:35against Brentford just to keep themselves in the running.
- 19:38But no, they had to lose to Brentford.
- 19:42Well, I mean to be fair shot, I got the red car pretty early and
- 19:45like the great. Yeah.
- 19:47The great, Arteta said. You know when you plan to play
- 19:50against 11 people and you play against 10, it changes
- 19:53everything. So maybe Villa was shook.
- 19:56And that's he, unless you got the right card and then Attara
- 19:59Sport a few minutes later. It's like you can't, you can't
- 20:02make this shit up, man. I got I got happy for you
- 20:06because I think you had Tammy. You have Tammy Abraham or
- 20:08someone else does No. Well, I saw someone at Tammy
- 20:11Abraham and I saw that he scored a goal and then it got denied by
- 20:14VER. Is that right?
- 20:17If you say it's right, then it's right.
- 20:20Yeah, I told our goal 30 points. My boy Louise back with 17.25
- 20:25points and 16.25 all ghost. He just got one point for the
- 20:29clean sheet. I mentioned this last week, so
- 20:32I'm going to say good job to myself.
- 20:35I said Villa have a history of starting players after they get
- 20:40them. Mm hmm.
- 20:42Yes, true. And he did well.
- 20:45He did well. Yeah, again, a player that I was
- 20:48playing against, so, you know, saw.
- 20:50Her. Yeah.
- 20:51Yeah, I hear you. Yeah.
- 20:53Next game Manchester United 3 fold them two.
- 20:58Bruno gets 2 cysts bossing that meal for the round.
- 21:02Casa Miro gets a goal and then assists 22.75 points.
- 21:06Man, he's having an amazing think Torah.
- 21:10Oh yeah, Lost Torah. He's doing well, man.
- 21:12He's doing well. Torah.
- 21:13It was a great, it was a great set piece.
- 21:15Arsenal fans take note. That's how you have a set piece
- 21:18with some integrity. Cunha scores.
- 21:21Another one. Sesco off the bench scores the
- 21:23winner. And it's a banger, and I know
- 21:25you guys make fun of it. Was it was a nice though.
- 21:28He had his back to goal. He knew where he was.
- 21:30I don't want to say it was a banger.
- 21:31He just he placed it in the top right.
- 21:33Yeah. Placement.
- 21:35You said banger. It's not banger, it's A.
- 21:37Banger Croupy. 'S goal was a banger.
- 21:40This was not banger. Jimenez penalty 50 points.
- 21:44Had a bunch of star steps. Kevin off the bench.
- 21:48I started Chuck Wazey and then Kevin off the bench with an
- 21:51equalizer banger. Now that was a banger from
- 21:55outside the box coded into the top right.
- 21:57Seska's goal, not a banger I'm sorry, was top.
- 22:02In. Top in though.
- 22:04But he was in he. He was in the box.
- 22:07Kevin was not in the box. Kevin coded.
- 22:10So you're saying there is impossible to have?
- 22:12I'm just saying Kevin's was bare all round.
- 22:14It was a banger outside the box and he had to curl it and he was
- 22:19on the move. Cesco was planted, had to make a
- 22:21little shimmy, step to the left, boom, hit it to the top right
- 22:25there, bang it placed it. Just saying.
- 22:27Still 132, still think this is a great game.
- 22:29I watched this game, Fulham came back 22 within minutes.
- 22:32You fucking scored the winner. Good for you.
- 22:34I didn't. Like Jimenez's penalty kick.
- 22:37Too far out, too too many stops. They.
- 22:40Need. They need to make the rule that
- 22:42you can't start a step and it needs to be a fluid motion.
- 22:45I didn't stop. He was trying to I start the
- 22:48goalkeeper. Yeah, he's looking stupid, but
- 22:51he got a goal, didn't he? Oh my God.
- 22:54But Man United look like a completely different team.
- 22:58They look man. United, let's do some schedule.
- 23:00Watch two more games left for a haircut they got.
- 23:02Tottenham. They got Tottenham and West Ham,
- 23:06very doable. Very doable, but Tottenham can
- 23:09also be Tottenham and ruin it for you.
- 23:11I don't want that. I don't want to get a haircut.
- 23:14No my time. You're going to hear it here
- 23:17first. I will join that guy and get a
- 23:20haircut the same time he does. God, all right, move on to the
- 23:24next game mate. Forest one, Palace one.
- 23:29I mean, whatever. Give scores.
- 23:34What is this? Williams thinks he's playing
- 23:35Grush goalie handball on goal line.
- 23:37Red card, Sorry. Equalizes for Palace.
- 23:39Anderson 15.5 points. Sporadic fantasy player, but
- 23:43soloed. Yeah.
- 23:46I can't. Did you see?
- 23:47You didn't see the handball, did you?
- 23:48No. I did not see the handball.
- 23:50He fucking did the. Like that, like he was trying to
- 23:53Heather it. Yeah, fuck it, I had him.
- 23:56That's why I'm pissed. Got ray carded -6.75 points and
- 24:01it was so obvious. Would I drop him?
- 24:05Guys, don't drop him. He's going to be banned for a
- 24:07game or two, but he'll be 5 when he comes back.
- 24:10Nico Williams scores points next game.
- 24:15The defenders for Palace were on track so I know Richard Big on
- 24:21Lacroix like. Muniz.
- 24:24Yeah, like tenish next game Spurs two City 2 Holland again
- 24:28no goal, but guess the assists. So does Bernardo Silva.
- 24:31We're going to skip the next note.
- 24:33Shirky 15.5 points scores comes off injured.
- 24:37He he could have had a second goal.
- 24:39But are you? Yeah.
- 24:41What a say but do you see him dancing in the box?
- 24:45Yeah, that's crazy, dude. He's so good with his feet, man
- 24:49did. You see how Pep and him had like
- 24:52a kind of an argument because he went down with an injury and he
- 24:55needed like some I don't. Think he got down the argument,
- 24:58or it might be he might be saying all that fancy shit you
- 25:00do. That's what you get because,
- 25:03because. He got Reindeer games up like
- 25:05warming up ready to go, and then he kind of put it back in off
- 25:09the bench. So I don't know, like I guess, I
- 25:11guess Jackass. So Mania scores again, 13.5
- 25:14points. It'd be interesting to see what
- 25:17happens when Doku gets healthy, if how they're going to play
- 25:20him. Savio is an afterthought at this
- 25:23point. Yeah, Solanki brace 24.5 points.
- 25:28I'm not He's not back because he was never anywhere to be back.
- 25:31You have to be good in order to be back to.
- 25:35Being good. Not for Tottenham.
- 25:38Also the first goal looked off size to me.
- 25:41Chavi Siemens 22.5 points. This is an 1st.
- 25:44Goal was not offsides. You're an idiot.
- 25:46It could have been a foul though, I'll give you that.
- 25:49That's all for discussion. But it wasn't offsides so
- 25:51things. Could be true, I thought it was
- 25:52offsides and I could also be an idiot.
- 25:54Simmons gets 23 points. That's four games in a row,
- 26:0199723. We talked about how it took
- 26:06words a minute to get used to the pace and everything about
- 26:11the EPL coming from the German league.
- 26:13Another player coming from the German league, yes, pace,
- 26:16tactically gifted. Maybe he's figuring the shit
- 26:19out. So I think Keith Keith dropped
- 26:22them, right? Who?
- 26:24Simmons. Yes.
- 26:25Yeah, I. Think he's dropped them?
- 26:27Yeah. And Nate got him this guy.
- 26:32And now? He's trying to trade them to me,
- 26:34yeah. Gallagher, another strong
- 26:36gouting 14.25 points, gets the assists.
- 26:40Matt, this whole situation is kind of crazy with Holland.
- 26:46He's no longer the total points. Why is he still the number one?
- 26:50But he's points per game is he's second.
- 26:53Bruno passed him at 16.29, which is like fucking insane numbers
- 26:57for Bruno. But Holland, it's been how many
- 27:03games in a row right now? So 1/2, No, three games in a row
- 27:07he hasn't scored, but out of the last seven he only has one goal,
- 27:12which is kind of crazy, but. The Gomeo This is around the
- 27:15time C starts to ramp things up and the season, so if C goes on
- 27:20a run and they continue winning, he's definitely going to be
- 27:23part. I mean, if he's not part of it,
- 27:26City, you're not going to go on a run.
- 27:32Yeah, I mean City are 6 points out of first place and United
- 27:38are 6th place out of second place.
- 27:41So you. Got member City still has to
- 27:43play Arsenal. Arsenal stuff to play City one
- 27:44more time. That could be huge it.
- 27:47Might be the title deciding game but I'm just saying United is
- 27:52the the difference between for City between Arsenal, yeah.
- 27:55I heard you. I heard you.
- 27:56I think so. We're back, baby.
- 27:59We're the devils. That was sad for this Carrie.
- 28:02'S gone playing well. Sunderland versus Burnley,
- 28:05Sunderland won three nil. Burnley sucks.
- 28:09Habib Diarra gets the first start since 9:13 and scores a
- 28:12goal on assists. 22.75 points. Keep an eye on him but I
- 28:15wouldn't put too much fucking value in him.
- 28:18Four defenders score over 10 points of Sunderland.
- 28:20That's going to be Mukulele got the assist.
- 28:22Think Thune got the 7.75 but you've got the clean sheet
- 28:26points. I wouldn't look too much into
- 28:28the defenders. Mukulele yes, because you've got
- 28:30the assist Robin Rose has first game without a safe?
- 28:35No way. No saves.
- 28:37What bunnies suck dude. And if your team has a Bernie
- 28:41player then your team sucks. Oh OK, that was.
- 28:45That's a nice little addition there, Tiga.
- 28:48Just had nothing to do with me. I'm not here to badmouth teams
- 28:51or players or other people's other managers.
- 28:54That's. What you just wrote, but you
- 28:55wrote those notes. Whoa, whoa, I didn't want those
- 28:59notes. Those notes are from you mate.
- 29:01I didn't write these notes either.
- 29:02Yeah. You definitely did.
- 29:04What are his? Accusations.
- 29:06Afghan players returned for little segment here.
- 29:09Guys going to have a look. Salah last time he came back
- 29:13from Afghan was horrible. This time around 13.5 and 13
- 29:16points. Nothing there so he should be
- 29:19fine. It must be because he's upset
- 29:20with the team so he has to prove that he's the best player in the
- 29:23league. Endai Senegal 4.75 and 3.75
- 29:28points. I think he could do better.
- 29:30We'd expect better for him, especially from the start, but
- 29:34with Grillish out, he's going to have to be 1 of the main focal
- 29:38points in the tech. Do you do you from Senegal, 2.5
- 29:42and 4.75 from West Ham? I think we got thinking about
- 29:45dropping him if you still held on to him.
- 29:48AWB Congo 19.75, three .75 and 20.5 points.
- 29:53He's completely fine. Chuck Wazy 13 points and seven,
- 29:57he did come off, that's why he got the seven points and he came
- 30:00on as a sub with the third team, which is a little bit weird.
- 30:02So maybe only star him if he's on the bench.
- 30:05Maybe do that for any anyone that plays before Iwobi Nigeria
- 30:092.25 and eight points. He's not the same one as last
- 30:13season. There's no Iwobi points this
- 30:15week. Where's Iwobi mate?
- 30:17Where's he in the rankings? I think he's in London.
- 30:21Diallo Ivory Coast 1.75 and 9.75 I think he had a banging game.
- 30:26This last one he had a couple shots on goal, could have had a
- 30:29goal easily and Buebbo 1360 and 7.5 no no problems there.
- 30:33So I guess the whole myth about form after AFCON is you know,
- 30:38been refuted here with majority of the top players scoring well
- 30:41and a couple that are taking a little bit longer to get back
- 30:43into into 4. Evolby IS150150 in total points,
- 30:50but again, he's missed games and you know, and points per game is
- 30:55150. Yeah, it's not the same as the
- 30:58same. Yeah.
- 30:59Yeah, not the same as last season there, all right.
- 31:03Let's do some there's some big games coming up for this match
- 31:08day 25. So I'm just kind of go through
- 31:10the ones, all the games and then I'll say the ones we don't care
- 31:13about and then we'll focus on the ones we do.
- 31:16Leeds United don't care at all. Fulham, Everton, that I think
- 31:22that that is potential to be a good game.
- 31:23I I would favor Fulham, Arsenal, Sunderland.
- 31:28That could be interesting. It would see if Arsenal will be
- 31:31able to score a goal or will Sunderland be able to score an
- 31:33on goal. Villa Bormut, whatever, that's
- 31:38going to be a good. Game when you talk about
- 31:40whatever some croupy adley on freaking Bournemouth Villa, well
- 31:44now. You didn't say that because
- 31:46you're a croupy groupie, no. I don't have croupy, but I'm
- 31:49saying that they've got some players on there.
- 31:51You've got to look out for them. Villa and Bournemouth.
- 31:52I think the attacking players on both Villa and Bournemouth are
- 31:55going to be ones you want to start.
- 31:57Tammy Abraham, Louise Adley, what's his name?
- 32:03The striker for Bournemouth, Evan Nelson.
- 32:07There's a bunch of players in there you want to start for
- 32:09sure. How do you feel about Tammy
- 32:11Abraham I? I always liked Tammy Abraham.
- 32:14I mean, when he was on Villa before he was on Chelsea before,
- 32:16I think he didn't get the right opportunity at Chelsea because I
- 32:19I don't think he he met that kind of the vision of a striker.
- 32:23But I think he could play in the Premiership.
- 32:25He did well at Roma, did completely fine.
- 32:27Figgy Did he win a cup at Roma with Mr. the Special 1 though?
- 32:31He did. I'm just not a fan of the name.
- 32:34Oh well, I thought about it. Go on.
- 32:37Brighton Palace. I think that could be a good
- 32:39game. It'd be interesting to see if
- 32:41Larson starts or not. That is the Sunday 6:00 game.
- 32:45So you know, you might have to wait to see if you could play
- 32:48Larson or not, have him in your line up.
- 32:50I think some of the bigger games are obviously United versus
- 32:53Tottenham. It's going to.
- 32:54Be interesting. It's a huge game, two teams, one
- 32:57is battling for top 4, the other one is trying to stay out, stay
- 33:00out of relegation. So it'd be, you know, it's a
- 33:04good game. Do you want to have a some kind
- 33:07of a wager on this game? No.
- 33:10All right, SMART man. I think we'll see some goals in
- 33:14this because even with United's defense, they're still letting
- 33:16goals. Yeah.
- 33:17We're going to see it's all about if, if Tottenham plays the
- 33:21way they did in the second-half against Man City, they'll be
- 33:23fine. It's just too many mistakes and
- 33:26honestly it can go either way with both these teams.
- 33:29But I think that Man United's in a better position than Tottenham
- 33:32is, so it's going to be Man United should be favourites.
- 33:36Burnley versus West Ham, that is a.
- 33:39Huge. Game for the.
- 33:41Shit shows. Yeah, it's a huge game for West
- 33:43Ham because they're six points out of relegation, so they.
- 33:48They could win and I think they go Bowen, who's going to play
- 33:51well. Castellano Tati is what he puts
- 33:54on the back of his shirt. He passes the eye test.
- 33:56I think he's just he's, you know, he's really close.
- 33:58Again, a goal AWB, Burnley is just going to be what's his
- 34:03name, the one up front and you've got Edwards.
- 34:06They just got Burnley, not Burnley.
- 34:08Sunderland just got rid of a Dingray.
- 34:10He just want to learn to to to Germany or Italy.
- 34:14There's a bunch of player moves. Look at all the player moves
- 34:16guys and see who starts and it could be some some gems in there
- 34:21somewhere. Jay and Anthony is the only
- 34:23burly Jay and Jay. And Anthony, there it is.
- 34:26Next game, Wolves versus Chelsea if you have a Chelsea player
- 34:30starting. If there's a Chelsea player
- 34:33playing in the game, you start him.
- 34:35Yep, it yeah, they should especially you know, they unlock
- 34:39their attacking hopefully carries over and they score a
- 34:42bunch of goals. Newcastle, Brentford.
- 34:44That's going to be interesting and decides to see who's going
- 34:46to be there up top the striker. Hopefully it's Lisa and the last
- 34:52game is Liverpool Man City which this this could be the.
- 34:57Title of decider. Yeah, because if Liverpool beats
- 35:02Man City and also beats Sunderland, they go 9 points
- 35:06clearly. Both teams are similar in the
- 35:10Forum. In the last five, both of the
- 35:12teams have one win, one lost, three ties.
- 35:15So it's not like what any of those, these are playing like
- 35:18amazing football. No the.
- 35:20It's also going to be interesting week in the sense
- 35:24that there are games midweek. It's for some of the teams, the
- 35:29Carabella Cup, Arsenal play Chelsea and who else is playing
- 35:33in that city and then Man City, Newcastle United, Yeah, that's
- 35:37the. It's the semi finals.
- 35:39For for this cup, do away goals matter or they don't?
- 35:45I don't believe they do. Got it.
- 35:47OK. I think those penalties.
- 35:50Because Arsenal is ahead on aggregate 32, so they have one
- 35:54goal. Which, yeah.
- 35:56I don't think, I don't think away goals matter.
- 35:58I think those penalties, I think they took away their away goal
- 36:00thing a while ago. So it takes the the gives the
- 36:04advantage to the away team in the first game minute some ways.
- 36:09Should make a parlay, no? OK, I I like you better when you
- 36:14were more. Degenerate gambler.
- 36:18Yeah. Like I just who?
- 36:21Who if? Go on just I'll, I'll, I'll,
- 36:24I'll humor you. Go on you.
- 36:27You throw it out though. All right.
- 36:29Oh. My God A.
- 36:31Hypothetical parlay, yeah. I'm listening.
- 36:34Well, I mean, it's not like I have it up.
- 36:36Like, let me go into my cellular phone.
- 36:40Did you know Apple? Go on.
- 36:46If you and if you see an Apple movie on TV, like a movie or
- 36:49anything else, then that president cannot be a villain.
- 36:52Apple does not allow bad guys use their products in any movies
- 36:57or TV shows. I didn't.
- 36:59Know that. So it kind of ruins it because
- 37:01anytime you see like someone who could be the bad guy, you see
- 37:05they're using an iPhone. That means they're not the bad
- 37:07guy you. Got it.
- 37:09You want to hear my parlay? Did you just make one?
- 37:11Yeah, I just made one. Do you have like the numbers or
- 37:15you're just going to well, it's. Going to be that much.
- 37:18I haven't put it on Arsenal, Sunderland, Arsenal, obviously
- 37:21West Ham, Burnley, West Ham, Chelsea, Wolves, Chelsea and
- 37:27then where's the last one this. Is like the worst partly ever
- 37:32because we there is no payout. I'm not trying to get the
- 37:37biggest payout, trying to win. All right, No, but we're not
- 37:41going to know what your party is going to result in.
- 37:43All right? You.
- 37:44Should say it. You should put it in there.
- 37:45United over Tottenham, Arsenal over Sutherland.
- 37:50Let's see, who else would we go now?
- 37:54Skipping that? Chelsea over Wolves, man,
- 37:56Chelsea's only -145 that's really good.
- 37:58But I'm a city over Liverpool, all right, and this is so
- 38:07exciting. Is it?
- 38:09No plus 849 + 8. 149. Yeah, so for it to bet $1000 we
- 38:18would win 8494. Are you good for 500?
- 38:22No. All.
- 38:24Right. You already know what happened
- 38:25to me this week, so no. Fucking.
- 38:29Asshole. You you have to resolve to
- 38:32making bukaki videos, no? That's that's not.
- 38:36I should we forgot to say follow us on draft off sides.
- 38:40Oh Tik. T.O.K for some EPL talk and some
- 38:46bukaki conversation. You'll find out why British
- 38:49people have bad teeth. I mean, I feel like I could say
- 38:54it because Enzo, I'm a friend of a English man.
- 38:58That means that no, No. Because no, no, that's how it
- 39:02is. Because like you give me
- 39:03permission to say mate. Mate, I never take any
- 39:07permission for anything. That's not true.
- 39:10I. Fucking hate you.
- 39:11Can we just end this already so I can go back to my life?
- 39:15Whoa, fine, I'll go back to my bank horse, please.
- 39:19Go back to your bank horse. Go enjoy yourself.
- 39:22I don't want to hang out with you no more.
- 39:25All right, that's it for us. Thank you for listening.
- 39:28Draft Off Sites, episode 123. Thank you.
- 39:31Thanks.
