• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Welcome back to this week's Off the Bench podcast from
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: the Premier League. I'm Lee from FPL Family and Man's
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: from FPL Black Books. Well as it was yet another
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: heavy wild card week, following up from Game Week six
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: when many many FPR managers played their wild card. We
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: had four hundred and seventy five thousand managers playing the
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: chip in game week seven, and one of them was you,
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: how did it go?
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah? I mean it was all right.
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: I mean, I will carded out the absolute dross that
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: was in my team beforehand, and I feel like I've
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: managed to get a load more dross in.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: But then maybe there's one level up, okay, slightly less dross,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: certainly less dross.
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: I mean they all blanked again, but you know, it
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: was at least as optimism going forward that it wasn't
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: too bad. I mean, Pope and Gabrielle came in. I
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: got so points. I want to sacka too.
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: I didn't have him kept rat.
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: It's just sounding very well, exactly exactly there, all right,
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: But then like it got like la Quar like you know,
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: conceding to to to Everton, like Gordon blanked. Enzo I
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: thought played really well, but didn't get the points. Yes,
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: I kept rinders again, I thought, you know, I had
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: some good chances in that game but didn't get anything.
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: And then Jo cares up top, so there's potential there,
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: but none of them delivered. So it was a little bit,
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: a little bit frustrating being the end seventy three points
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: a decent green arrow. Yeah, and yeah, some good price
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: value increased.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: It was. It was fine. I'm not going to complain.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: It was. It was a better week the most when
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: I do these with you to yeah.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Seventy three sounds okay, man, And you know what you
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: know what they say about wild card right is you
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: don't play it just for one game week. You set
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: yourself up for a few weeks. So I think I
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: think you're in good shape. I think in good shape.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: It was sixty for me, so a pretty below par
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: game week, I have to say, not very good.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: In not very good at all.
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: I had Semeno, who we've got to talk about, right,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: what a start to the game with The game week
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: started off with a bang with down to one Semeno
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: mad the Harlan captaincy I had ryering goal with six,
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: but outside of them three there really wasn't anything to
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: talk about SONESSI and vander Ven and Gayhee at the back,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: which was you know two two and three Brune Fernandez
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: coming in with three rinders, as you say, with three
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Gordon three, I had all my midfielders getting the clean sheet.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Points.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: I'm taking a small moral victory there. Jacquarres and jo
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Pedro upfront, so plenty to discuss on today's podcast. And
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: you know, most of those assets, or a lot of
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: those assets were going. You know, we're you know, they're
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: in our team, so we've got to talk about them.
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: Right, So sixty.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Points I think down to like about one point seven
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: one point eight millions something like that. So it's listen,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: it's a tough season, right, I'm finding this season tough
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: for you.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: It's the toughest start.
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: I mean, I've had a couple of tough starts in
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: the last few years, but this is the toughest.
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: Not being on board with with Harland early on has
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: obviously been yeah, being a killer, and now it feels
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: like quite a lot of teams are moving towards the
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: same template. Anyway, We're getting lots of arsenal Win. We've
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: obviously got Harlem Perma captain every week.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: We've all got se meeno.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: So trying to differentiate the teams is tricky and it
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: means that where you have, you know, differentials and you're
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: going different against you know players, they have to perform
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: otherwise you're just going to lose out on more grounds
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: and I'm finding it tough to find the players that
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: you know are going to deliver points consistently. So that's
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: what we need to do on this pod. We need
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: to work out find a differentials. That's what we hit
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: to Dore. That's it absolutely. So it's a tough start
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: to the Sea.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: We've got the you know, a new bunch of chips,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: haven't we We've got some rule changes around defensive contributions
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: so I think I'm slowly getting my head around it all.
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: But yeah, tough old season, tough season. And speaking of which,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Liverpool having a pretty tough week, if not tough season.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: I think as a Liverpool fan, I'm wasn't Sam panicking yet,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: but that's a tough week, you know, Crystal Palace away
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: and then a very very tricky game away in Europe
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: in Turkey and then Chelsea away. As weeks in football
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: go that is a pretty tricky week. But in the
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: same way that I feel about the Crystal Palace game,
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: I feel the same here as I do with the
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: Chelsea game.
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: Chelsea absolutely fully deserved the win here.
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I've got lots of thoughts about how Liverpool played, but
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: give us your view on Chelsea first and foremost, because
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: despite the injuries that were racking up throughout the game,
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: it felt like they had a center half going off,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: you know, with with ridiculous regularity throughout that game. It
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: was down to his sort of six or seventh center half.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: Wasn't ian Z Mosca at stages in that game, but
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: he made the offensive substitutions, particularly in wide areas that
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: did it for Chelsea in the end, And it was
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: Esteval that popped up with the winner in the ninety fifth,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: ninety six or whatever. A minute, I'm going to stop
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: talking because it's making me sad.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: Talking about it. You give you of your on Chelsea.
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: It's a funny game, wasn't it? Because I enjoyed it.
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: It's probably one of the games I've enjoyed most this season.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: Neutral I can imagine, Yes, yeah, it was good, but
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: I mean it was There was a lot of like
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: misplaced passes and sort of wayward shots and things. And
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: I think overall, cha Chelsea deserved it. I think Enzo
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: Yes in particular, I thought was really really impressive. You know,
• 4:55
  Speaker 3: he's he's really leaving his mark, you know, defensively, like
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: getting up top as well. He had some good opportunities,
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: had that header that went just past the post. Sort
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: of looks like he's involved in in sort of every
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: every attack. But when I saw the lineup, I thought,
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: this is Liverpool's We're going to eat this up. I mean,
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: an untested center back pairing. And then, like you said,
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: injuries throughout the match as well, and I don't know
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: it just they just never I never felt like they
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: were really grabbing the game by the scruff of the
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: neck like we've seen them do so many times. And
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: even when the subs came on and you know, had
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: so many attacking players on the pitch, this was the
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: chance surely for like verts to shine and show us
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: why they've paid all that money for him. And I
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: mean he had a couple of good moments, but nothing
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: really stood out. Salah blasted a few shots over over
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: the bar Esak I thought was okay, I mean his
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: assist was good.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: If you if.
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: We're counting that as an assin, I mean obviously count
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: Gary Neville.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: True enough, What did you make of Salomo, because like, well,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: I agree with you, right, there was there. There was
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: moments in this game where he got into some reasonable
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: positions to have what I would call, you know, a
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: classic most sala chance, right that's sort of cutting inside
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: on his left foot, and one ballooned over the bar
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: when for me the shot wasn't really on. There was
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: another that kind of whistled just over the bar. One
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: right at the beginning of the second half where Vertz
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: did this kind of like midair pirouette back hill, which
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: would have been like a sister of the season, right,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: but a salad kind of fires it wide. But in
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: the cold light of day, didn't win a single duwel
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: in this game. Didn't complete a single take on or
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: have a shot on target against Chelsea. And that was
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: the fewest touches, which was thirty five. He had the
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: fewest touches thirty five of any outfielder who played ninety minutes,
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: so have everyone that played ninety minutes in that game.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: He had the fewest touches.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: I mean, yeah, we just can't pick him an FPL
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: right now, can we? And from a Liverpool perspective, it's
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: difficult to know who to go to if you're going
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: to go to anyone at all.
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's too much money, I think at fourteen to five.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: I mean we've seen this before with Sally Now he
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: has quiet games in his early seasons at Liverpool, registering
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: such crazy like XGI. There's so many shots. He was
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: accused at one point they're being quite wasteful with the
• 7:05
  Speaker 3: amount of shots he's got. And then he became a
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: bit more clinical with the chances he was getting in
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: particularly last year. I mean the way he overperformed on
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: some of his expected data was crazy. But you know,
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: again he had moments in this game, but he was
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: on the periphery of a lot of what was happening.
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: But when it fell to him, you were just like, well,
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: he's obviously going to just.
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah after season, just yeah, to pop it in that's
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: up corn absolutely in the right area, or just create
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: something out of nothing, and that doesn't really seem to
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: be happening. And when you've got Harland's captain every week,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: because it's terrifying to go against him, I just don't
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: know why you would pay fourteen to five for Salah.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: The only reason you would is because you've got that
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: guaranteed start. But I would go for Reesak.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: I think at the moment, because I think Easak is
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: growing into the role at Liverpool. I think every time
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: we see he looks a little bit fitter, he's a
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: bit more adjusted with his teammates. You know, he's a
• 8:01
  Speaker 3: bit cheaper as well at ten point six. And yeah,
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: that's is definitely the route i'd go. I don't think
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: you can pick any of the others. I mean maybe
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: gap Poe. Mean he's had a good start to the season,
• 8:10
  Speaker 3: but you can be worried aboutim every week, aren't you
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: You are?
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: I think you are.
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: And I think when I look around, you know, when
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: I look at the Chelsea squad like you, I saw that.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: I saw there opening eleven, I saw Acchimpong at the
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: back and I thought, you know, yeah, there's an opportunity
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: here for Liverpool to really get at the game. But
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: I would probably go to Chelsea assets more than I
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: would Liverpool assets right now. Right you look at someone
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: like Moys's Quiesedo, who in previous seasons we'd go well,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: central defensive midfielder.
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: We ain't picking it, mar we and there's plenty of
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: other options there.
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: But at five point seven millions, he's now second in
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: the FPL midfielder's point standings. Three goals already this season,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: which is as many as he managed in the last
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: three seasons combined. Now, listen, there've been a couple of
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Worldies in there, not least the one at the weekend.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: It was a great strike, wasn't it.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: But I don't know.
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: And Moys's Chaise said, you went for Enzo by the
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: sounds of it on your wild card. Was there a
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: temptation to go for Kaisedo or you're always going Frienzo
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: because it looks like he's got the penalty kicks right,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: So that was probably the swinger in your mind, I
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: guess yeah.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: I mean Enzo to me is just a bit more
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: involved in the attacking Player've been impressed with him, not
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: just last game but all season really and at large
• 9:16
  Speaker 3: parts of the last season. Yeah, that the Palmer injury
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: gives an opportunity to take a claim, you know, to
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: play in that ten. Maybe Palmer moves over to the
• 9:22
  Speaker 3: right again when he comes back. He is no guarantee
• 9:24
  Speaker 3: that Enso definitely moves out of that that position. Plus
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: I think Palmer, we don't know how long he's going
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: to be out, you know, if he's out for a
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: few more weeks or months, or even if he's back
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: straight up to intestial break, I think his minutes have to
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: be managed a bit. So again, hopefully it just gives
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: Enso that that freedom to Karen playing in the way.
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: That he has done.
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: I mean, Cassado's stats are rough, you know, like he's
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: not I mean, I can't believe he's got three goals.
• 9:49
  Speaker 3: I mean the most he's managed in the season is one,
• 9:52
  Speaker 3: So he's already triple tripled his.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Best ever goal scoring season.
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: And like you say, they are you know, they're their
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: rockets and he's got that in his locker. But you
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: did expect team to close him down because you know
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: he can do that, and he's just given the space
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: just to run into and absolutely let fly. I'm going
• 10:08
  Speaker 3: to keep saying it though, like he's not going to
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: keep scoring, like his status are so poor, you know
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: what happens next. I just wouldn't be surprised if he
• 10:16
  Speaker 3: didn't score another one this season, you know, but the
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: way he's going, maybe maybe gets another one, one or two.
• 10:21
  Speaker 3: It's just whether you think the forget about the goals
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: of him, It's whether you think the deaf cone, which
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: you're pretty much getting most weeks, very regularly, is worth
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: it compared to you know, a player like Enzo or
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: Sar or another more attacking player in and around the
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: six six' five. Bracket to, ME i still prefer the attacking.
• 10:41
  Speaker 3: Players and Now sailor's price is creeping up as, always
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: up to five to seven, too so if you're going
• 10:45
  Speaker 3: to get on, him you get on him.
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: Now BUT i still prefer the more attacking. Players, yeah,
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: okay THINK i agree with.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: You think let's go To bournemouth versus full and then
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: cast your mind back To friday, night a wet and
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: Windy friday night on The south. Coast the weather here
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: in THE uk was pretty, all wasn't it actually over
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: the weekend and this game really was affected by?
• 11:04
  Speaker 2: It? Yeah, yeah, NO i. Shouldn't yeah, yeah.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: It's a very standard weekend for us here Or tumnel
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: weekend in THE, uk but this game was absolutely affected by,
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: it particularly by the. Win you, KNOW i think the
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: first half was a bit of A i think it
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: was a bit of a. LEVELER i think for the,
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: game it wasn't a particularly good, game but it did
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: come alive in the second. Half AND i have to
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: give we have to give some props For Andrei, iraola,
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: right what a you know what a, manager having found
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: himself one kneel down a little bit against the runner
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: player at the, TIME i would suggest To. Fulham he
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: then goes and makes a couple of, substitutions one of
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: which was to bring Off, sonessi which as A sonesi
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: ower kind of raised my eyebrows a little. Bit he's
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: going off with the only banking the seven defensive, contributions
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: so therefore you know that ends the.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: Run you know that ends the run for, him doesn't.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: It he got defensive contributions every, week was the only
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: player to do so IN, fpl but having been taken
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: off early in this, game that stops that. Run so
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: there is now no players that have got defensive contributions every.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: Week but it was a tactical switch boarding off and
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: bought Ben docon and you know, what seven minutes later
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: they find themselves too One. Upbourmouth so so so good From,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: mariola love to see, it but the man of the.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: Match the star of the show has to Be Antoine.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: Semeno eighteen points for his owners IN fpl now is
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: the top point score across the. GAME i noticed actually
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: WHEN i had a look at some of the stats
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: For semeno looking at last season versus this, season because
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: we know what we get With. Semeno he's a shot,
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: monster Isn't he loves taking a. Shot we've seen that
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: in previous, seasons shot after, shot very kind of greedy,
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: player which IN fpl is actually a. Compliment but his
• 12:34
  Speaker 1: shot conversion rate is what's. Changed is his conversion rate
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: is how accurate he's being and how clinical is being
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: in front of. Goal there's only eight point eight his
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: shot conversion rate last, season whereas it's risen to thirty
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: five point three so far this. Season so you look
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: at that and you, go, well should we expect some
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: regression From? Semeno is he just being you, know clinical
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: for now in front of? Goal but it might decrease? Again,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: WELL i don't think. So you, know you look at
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: his post match. Comments he WAS i think he had
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: an interview With sky after the game and he was
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: talking about how he's worked on being. Calmer he's worked,
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: on you, know being more clean the coin in front.
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: Of goal and not snatching at.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Chances so a player nowt that's got six goals and
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: three assists in seven, Matches i'm buying into that narrative.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Completely he looks. Sensational and what's, MORE i love it
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: when a player comes out and, SAYS i recognize that
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: there was SOMETHING i could improve in my, game And
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: i've worked to improve, it and he's reaping the.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: REWARDS i thought he was. Sensational, friday what did you?
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: Think, well players, evolved, right Like semeno is entering into
• 13:34
  Speaker 3: the peak of his. Career he's twenty five years. Old
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: and you, know if you have a narrative that a
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: player who maybe isn't a great finisher at the age
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: of twenty two to twenty three can never turn into
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: a better finisher and that's. It and they're just like
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: les's their, type cast in that in that way for
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: the rest of their. Career and that's a pretty sad
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: way of looking at. Things you, know players can give,
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: it and you look at what happens With. Bournemouth you
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: know they needed players to step, up and it's like
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: the perfect storm for him because he's, already you, know
• 14:02
  Speaker 3: a key member of that. Team, Anyway he's then had
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: a really good end of the season last. Year they've
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: had a big transitional period of selling a lot of
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: like defenders Of tara's. Gone you, know they've they've got
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: new players coming in and they're trying to bed in
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: and he's. Gone you know, What i'm going to step
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: up to this and you and you can. See you
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: can see the work he's done because he looks more,
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: calm he looks more. Composed he's grabbing the game in
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: ways WHICH i don't think he really did so much
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: last last. Year AND i think he's just other Than.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: HARLAND i think he's the number two asset right in the.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: Game you've just you've got to have him BECAUSE i
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: don't think this is going to be a freak. OCCURRENCE
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: i can see so many games where he hits big
• 14:42
  Speaker 3: hauls because he's just he's that. Guy he's that guy
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: at the.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: Moment yeah he.
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Is and he reminded me a little bit of like
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: sorry to drop The liverpool reference in, here but he
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: reminded me of kind of like Man a a little.
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: Bit playing on that left hand. Side he cutting in
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: eye for, goal you, know giving defenders a torrid time
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: and you know for those that have Got Evan wilson
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: IN fpl, AGAIN i didn't think it was. Early it
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: was a bad. Performance BUT i don't know whether he's
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: just AN fpl. ASSID i think he's a really top
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: player AND i think the work rate that he does
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: and occupying center halves means that the likes Of semeno
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: and others in That bournemouth team are really benefiting from
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: his hard work on and off the. BALL i don't
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: know if he's AN fpl asset. Though do you or
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: do you do you back him to come good with
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: the Girls Evanilson.
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: No i've never liked it that Much as AN fbl.
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: BIG i think he's a great player For. Bournemouth he
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: get stuck, in doesn't these work Create it's like absolutely top,
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: class his attitude. Everything but how many goals and assists
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: would you expect from over the? SEASON i mean ten
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: twelve something like.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: That that's WHY i mentioned this The semeno And mane thing,
• 15:45
  Speaker 1: right because it was a bit for. Me no, esque,
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: right you know what we would like With Bobby for
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: me in a few seasons, Ago we loved him as
• 15:50
  Speaker 1: a player As liverpool, fans but we never pick him
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: AN fpl because he've Got salar And mane either. Side
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: and it felt a little bit like that at the,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: weekend AND i barking up the wrong.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: Trader, WELL i.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: Think having a player Like evanil's and makes other players
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: a better.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: Pick and that's what happened with.
• 16:02
  Speaker 3: For, me noa right he, Bought he brought in those
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: wide players and made them the outstanding PACE i mean
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: for me there on his day WAS i, MEAN i
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: Remember i've got some massive holes from, him true in pre,
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: seasons but they were quite hard to, predict Whereas mallet
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: and Sal or whoever was so consistent with the points
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: they were. GETTING i think you can overthink it a.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: BIT i, Mean sinessi is arguably the best defender to,
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: Own semno is the best midfielder to. Own is there
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: another Player i'd go to in that bomb ofth? Team
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: probably not right?
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: Now, no all, right anything say About.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: FULHAM i noticed THAT Jocki, anderson still only four point
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: five IN, fpr banked the defensive contribution points for the
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: sixth match in a. Row so we're not we're getting
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: from this guy With arsenal And newcastle up. NEXT i
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: think we're waiting for game week, ten aren't, we With
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: fulham investment With, Wolves everton And sunderland then in, ten
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: eleven and, Twelve so watching brief the next couple of.
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: Weeks, YEAH i think he's one clean sheet for the
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: this season as.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: WELL i know he's hitting the death corn every, week
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: but you do feel like you need to pair that
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: with like the occasional clean or you, know maybe the
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: odd attacking maternal or something like.
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: That i'm not.
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: Sure given how good the defenders are that we've got
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: to pick from this, season it's not quite. Enough even
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: though it's a nice base to have that kind of
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: three to four, mark that they're conceding too many. GOALS
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: i think for him to be someone that you'd want
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: to play every, week and, yeah with the fixtures as,
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: well time to avoid and there's not really anyone At
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: Fulham i'm really looking. AT i, mean they did well
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: to get a. Gold you never a recognized striker starting
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: in that. Game Josh king looked lively again but still
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: doesn't have any, returns although we should have done Against
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: chelsea weeks. Ago so, yeah a bit of a, yeah
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: a bit of a bit of a nothing club with pl,
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: wise no thing's.
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: Change, yeah, WELL i just watched them for a couple of.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: WEEKS i think game week ten we might start to
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: think about moving on. Them let's, see let's go To
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: arsenal versus West. Ham THEN i feel over the last
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: couple of, weeks as and you AND i have both
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: played The World card over the last couple of, weeks
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: the narrative and the questions and THE i don't, know
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: just the indecision That i've had Around, arsenal and the
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: fact THAT i want to even Though i've only carded fairly,
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: RECENTLY i feel like NOW i want to change the
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: assets That i've picked on my wild. CARD i feel
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: like we could do a whole podcast About, arsenal AND
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: i feel like we could probably do another podcast about
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: just The arsenal penalty. Situation for those that bought In
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: jacarez AND i was one of them on Wild card in,
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: SIX i did so not purely but largely on the
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: fact THAT i thought he was going to be the
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: designated penalty.
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: Taker you, know twenty out of twenty last.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Season at his old club comes in scores the penalty
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: game week two against The, leeds doesn't he albeit With
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: sacker not on the. PITCH i understand, that But i'm, thinking, yeah, Okay,
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: Arsenal i've got their new penalty. Taker but at the
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: weekend against West, ham soccer pops up and maybe there's
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: a bit of a narrative around it being his two
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: Hundredth Premier league.
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: Appearance it, was.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: You, know it's his one hundredth goal, involvements and maybe
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: there's some nice milestones there that he wanted to you,
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: know hit with the. Penalty but the one TAKEAWAY i
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: will take from that penalty situation and till we if you,
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: agree is THAT i got the feeling That sacer is
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: the man in charge, right he hold rank. THERE i,
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: thought you, know OUR teta has come out before in
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: press conferences only fairly recently has, said, look when it
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: comes to, PENALTIES i let them sort it out on the.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: PITCH i, KNOW i don't make the. Decisions they sort it,
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: out AND i think it's soccer is the one that
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: sorts it out on the. Pitch so, yeah Sure chaceres
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: might want to take the penalties and he might have
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: a very good record, there BUT i think when it
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: comes to it in the heat of the. MOMENT i
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: think IT'S socca that, decides and if he wants the,
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: penalty he'll get the. Penalty so how do you feel
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: because you've got soccer on your wild card right this?
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: Week If i'm not, mistaken did you Get chacres as
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: well or did you just you've got them? Both, Okay
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: so you actually saw that penalty and, thought, oh, mind
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: it takes, This i'll take.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: It, yeah that's basically the thinking is that one of
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: them was going to take what's your which? ONE i
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: don't KNOW i. WAS i was in two, minds saving as.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: YOU i thought Maybe yokearez would be the designated taker
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: after he scored the last one and the record he's
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: got and. Everything but WHEN i Saw soaka holding the
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: ball in the last, GAME i suddenly, thought, okay maybe
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: he's doing the thing where you know they tricked the
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: they hold the ball right until the last second and
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: then hand it, over taking.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: A pressure off the. Taker all.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: That he.
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: Didn't he didn't look like he was going to do.
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: That he's sort of he had the eyes that made
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: me think maybe he was going to take it. Himself and,
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: YEAH i don't know's it's a tricky one BECAUSE i
• 20:15
  Speaker 3: think we know with them, Exactly like you, said they
• 20:18
  Speaker 3: have spoken very openly and said it's up to, them you,
• 20:21
  Speaker 3: know whatever the trouble WITH i agree with. YOU i
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: Think soaka is probably the number. One BUT i also
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: think he's such a humble like. Person if your carez
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: or odor guards or trust hard came over to and was, like,
• 20:33
  Speaker 3: Oh i'm really feeding it, today let me take. IT
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: i think he just. HAD i think he'd handed. Over,
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: yeah quite.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: So.
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: YEAH i mean it's nice in a. Way it's nice
• 20:42
  Speaker 3: in the way they're all trusted to take it and
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: things like. That but it freaks me out a. BIT
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: i like, knowing you, know like certainty. EXACTLY i, mean
• 20:51
  Speaker 3: they've all got good, records haven't. THEY i mean you
• 20:54
  Speaker 3: do look at them and you, think, OKAY i trust
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: any of. THEM i think to smash this in well.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: Totally, yeah even heard of. GUARD i, mean it's a
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: good penalty, taker isn't. It but you, know it looks
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: like he might now be out for a little. While
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: we've got to wait for the exact diagnosis and time
• 21:07
  Speaker 1: that he's. Out looks like it's a knee. Injury there
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: was a real clash of knees and he come off,
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: worse didn't. He WHAT i particularly like, though And i've
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: said this About arsenal in recent, weeks are both on
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: here and on THE Fpl family live, streams is that
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: he's built up a squad, Now, arteta, right you know
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: for sure the injuries impacted their season last. Year probly
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: know there's arguably it cost of the title last, year
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: and they've gone away in the summer and built a real.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: Squad they've got depth, Now, Arsenal they've got, quality at
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: least two quality players for each, position which is right
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: as A liverpool, fan that's frightening BECAUSE i make, them
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: AND i think the book makers now make them favorites
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: for the title this, year and who would argue against
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: that right? Now but even When urderguarde got injured at the,
• 21:46
  Speaker 1: weekend you know it wasn't panic, stations. Right of, course
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: they want their captain there and one of their best
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: players on the, pitch of, course but the fact that
• 21:53
  Speaker 1: they Had rice sitting a little bit deeper in the,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: six and they Had sa And urderguard there and they
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: kind of joint eights if you, like the sort of
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: eight slash ten attacking Midfielder roles Well erd guard gets. Injured, okay,
• 22:02
  Speaker 1: well no problem For arteta with his new depth and
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: his new, squad because Zuber mendi comes in does an
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: absolutely unbelievable like was brilliant right when he came. IN
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: i think he raped up something like eleven defensive contributions
• 22:14
  Speaker 1: in fifty fifty five minutes that he.
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: Played.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: Right rice then goes a little bit further, Forward so
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: the versatility Of deck And rice really came to the fore,
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: there And ese just holds his position as that kind
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: of central attacking. Midfielder so the QUESTION i have for
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: you as, is as A soaker And jacquares, owner do
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: you feel like AND i assume you've got An arsenal
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: defender as, Well so therefore you've got the Three arsenal in.
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: Place And i'm not about to tell you that any
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: of those three are bad. PICKS i think they're all great.
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: Picks but With rice And, eza NOW i think we've
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: got more good. PICK i just don't you, know there's
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: even more options From arsenal, now Particularly, eza WHO i
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: think you know is probably more likely to get the
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: minutes and going to play more centrally With urdegarde not,
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: THERE i don't think there's now any risk of him
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: being moved out to the left and potentially rotated With
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: trossar And. Martinelli and what's his price seven point five
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: seven point, SIX i think is A i think he
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: And rice could be brilliant value while guard is.
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: Out what do you?
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: Think? Yeah AND i think it's we talk, about you,
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: know key decisions over the season and you, know trying
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: to restore you, know our ranks up to where we
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: feel that they should. Be and The arsenal players are
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: definitely the ones that are going to largely dictate that
• 23:23
  Speaker 3: getting the right, ones BECAUSE i agree you mention all those,
• 23:25
  Speaker 3: ATTACKERS i mean even in. DEFENSE i, mean you, know
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: most of us have gon For, gabrielle myself, included but
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: a lot of people have doubled up with With. Raya
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: that means you can't then double up with A sacca
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: A rice An a you, know with orre you, know
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: depending on which which two you.
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: Want do you Think ry is a bit of a wasted?
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: Spot as do you think having the keepers a bit
• 23:41
  Speaker 1: of a waste of An arsenal? Spot, this this is
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: WHY i didn't pick him on The world BECAUSE i
• 23:44
  Speaker 1: was worried that there would be a player that would
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: emerge that would you, know, Say i've Got soako and. Yokers,
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: okay Maybe sakas On. Pens we think he's gonna anotherwo
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: hundred plus points, season, whatever not Saying yakeres is definitely
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: that that. One but in case they both, are what
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: DO i? Do Because gabrielle a.
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: Lot gabrielle is not going anywhere for the rest of
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: MY ta rest of the, Season you've got to have one.
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: Defender so it's do you go double defense or do
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: you go double? Attack who are the best two? Attackers
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: we're still not sure, yet but if you go double,
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: defense you're locking yourself out of that that.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: SPOT i actually.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: Think The timber pairing With gabrielle is a better route
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: to go down than the.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: Rayer timber looks, sensational didn't. He he looks so so.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: Good he And calafiori were getting forward at every, opportunity
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: and they got six penalty box touches a. Piece, well
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: this is either one of them are good, picks, Right,
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: well this is.
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: It and you could even play four at the. Back
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: you could you could use that spot that that fourth
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: defender spot as an. Attacker i'm doing air quotes the,
• 24:39
  Speaker 3: past but you know you could put you could Put
• 24:43
  Speaker 3: timber in Alongside soccer and And gabrielle and, say okay that
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: that attacking third spot doesn't have to be an. Attacker
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: you can give it To timber because those underlying stats
• 24:51
  Speaker 3: are so nice it.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: Feels like you can't really go.
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: Wrong but of course you can go wrong because one
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: of them is going to.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: Be the best.
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: ASSET i really Like, rice you, KNOW i was talking
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: about it at the start of the. SEASON i think
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: WHEN i heard an interview in where he was saying
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: he wants to get forward, more he wants to get more.
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: Goals disappointed with how he started last, year you, know
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: didn't really influence games. Enough the issue with him is
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: is that we saw the Zuber mendi benched this. Week
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: we've Seen rice benched in weeks. Before there is more
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: competition around that. Start you don't really get that with your.
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: Carez So i'm still backing, him but it's not been
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: the greatest start for, him is.
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: It, no not, really not.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: Really but before we moved to West, ham AND i
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: do want to ask you about West ham and whether
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: there's still a team to target or whether you know
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: you think we'll get it right, there you're right About gabrielle,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: right six point two MILLION. Fpl so, yeah he's going
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: to be you, know he's definitely amongst them more, expensive
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: if not the most expensive defender in the. Game but
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: defensive contribution points for the third time this season in
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: that game against West ham at the, weekend which.
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: Is already more than he would have managed.
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: In the entirety of twenty four to twenty five if
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: we were measuring that metric last. SEASON i think he
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: averaged about five point six to eight per game last
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: year in the defensive. Contribution so you, know when Deaf
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: coon became a thing at the pre season in the,
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: summer we're all, going, Yeah Van, Dijk tarkovski And sinessi
• 26:12
  Speaker 1: And anderson were predicting that these guys are going to
• 26:14
  Speaker 1: be big for the Deaf. Cons but don't think based
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: on last year that's many of us were Saying gabriel
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: is going to be there and be a Deaf con
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: monster in the way they Say tarkovski or And anderson.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Is but LIKE i, say five point six eight this
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: get per game last year this year nine point four to.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: Three so, yes he is absolutely doing the, clearances, blocks
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: interceptions and. Tackles he's doing the stuff that drives the defensive.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: Contribution so, yeah even more reason if you needed, it
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: even more reason to go With gabrielle on the wild
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: card or as a transfer in even at six point two.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: Million but West ham though a bit non existent when
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: it comes to goal. THREAT i think they had just
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: four shots or game a couple of set piece headers
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: which is probably the closest they came in that, game
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: conceded more goals than any Other Premier league team And
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: evan he's called six goals in those seven, Game so
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: problems at both ends of the. Pitch So nuno's got
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: work to, do no doubt about. It he's got work to.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: Do but the fixtures are there as. Right breadford at
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: home next after the international, break then leads Away, Newcastle
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: burnley And bournemouth after. That Surely nuno and the boys
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: at West ham were looking at this game Against arsenal and, saying, well,
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: look let's what will be will be when no one's
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: expecting us to Beat. Arsenal let's go and you, know
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: put on as good a show as we can AND
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: i think they did, okay but surely they're looking to
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: come back after the intational break in game week eight
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: and attack those next five fixtures in. Particular do you
• 27:32
  Speaker 1: back New notes to come? Good do you think West
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: ham can find a bit of.
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: Form, Yeah AND i don't want to compare him To Ange,
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: pastacoglu obviously very different, situations very different, clubs but you
• 27:40
  Speaker 3: almost feel Like nuno's got again the air quotes coming
• 27:43
  Speaker 3: out the, easier easier job in taking a team with
• 27:46
  Speaker 3: decent fixtures and making them more like the first property
• 27:49
  Speaker 3: for him IS i mean he's defensive manager, anyway but
• 27:52
  Speaker 3: you know he's going to turn West ham into a
• 27:54
  Speaker 3: let's not get, smashed you, know let's just try and
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: grind out some one mild and he's got the fixtures
• 27:59
  Speaker 3: to do. It whereas when you look at and when
• 28:01
  Speaker 3: you look At, forest he's almost trying to do the
• 28:02
  Speaker 3: opposite of. That he's to turn into a more attacking
• 28:05
  Speaker 3: team for a defensive, side and he hasn't got the
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: fixtures to do it because they're they're really.
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: Tough so, YEAH i do.
• 28:10
  Speaker 3: Back, No, NO i think HE'S i think he's a,
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: top top class. MANAGER i think West ham have the
• 28:15
  Speaker 3: tools there for him to implement the system that he
• 28:18
  Speaker 3: wants to. DO i don't think it's a million miles
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: off maybe what it was when he Inherited, forest for,
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: example in terms of quality that he's. Got he's, got you,
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: know a talisman player up top in In bowen's got
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: like creativity With. Poketa he's got good wing, backs you,
• 28:32
  Speaker 3: know In juke and And. Wambasako he's got some kilmen's
• 28:35
  Speaker 3: a great center back as. Well there's there's plenty for
• 28:37
  Speaker 3: him to work, with and the fixtures are really. Good
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: SO i think he'll turn it. ROUND i think he'll
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: turn it around quite quite, quickly AND i expect him
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: to pick up points over the next few.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: Weeks So i'm just then this is.
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: It i've actually Got, Juke i've Got ju in my
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: wild card. Team i'm not expecting him to play him too,
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: much he'd be on the bench. BOOST i think this
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: Week i've got that chip, activated So brend for the
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: home have? You then it's, LEADS i mean four assists
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: for a for a. Fallback not, bad unbelievable in you,
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: know in going into this, game it was in six
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: games for assists in six games so clearly he's got
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: the attack of potential. There whether he gets the license
• 29:15
  Speaker 3: to bomb as much as he was, maybe but he
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: loves across on. Him So i'm not saying rush out
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: on by West ham, players BUT i think we can
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: definitely look at, them maybe slightly differently, now BECAUSE i
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: think that the fixtures of turned and clear bowen will
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: become an option for us again at some, point and
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: if you can turn them into a better, defense THEN
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: i think someone like ju might be might be a
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: good option going.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: Forward so keep, it keep an, eye don't rush to,
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: invest but keep an.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: Eye, yeah don't mind, it don't mind. IT a couple
• 29:42
  Speaker 1: more weeks Of jaccarase blanks AND i can see a
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: FEW fpr managers maybe just leaning Towards, jarard maybe just
• 29:48
  Speaker 1: leaning let's go To leeds Versus. Spurs then the standout
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: here for me Was Mahammi cudas, right fifth assist of the,
• 29:57
  Speaker 1: season AND i think it was coming that. Performance you,
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: know for those of you that had him IN, fpl, congrats,
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: right but a lot of you'll be sitting there going,
• 30:05
  Speaker 1: well these points were, overdue. Right he missed big chances Against,
• 30:08
  Speaker 1: Wolves he missed a big chance here Against leeds and
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: then of course gets the winner, Here so kudos pretty.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: OVERDUE i Thought Thomas frank just slowly starting to get
• 30:16
  Speaker 1: it right With, spurs AND i thought it was Probably
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: Jabbi simons despite the fact didn't get AN ffpl, points
• 30:21
  Speaker 1: probably his best game in A spurs. SHIRT i think
• 30:23
  Speaker 1: at the, back still prone to conceding the odd goal
• 30:26
  Speaker 1: here or. There AND i noticed That Pedro porro not
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: had a shot on goal in four game weeks, right
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: and he only just about scraped the defensive contributions. Here
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: he averages seven point three so far this, season so
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: he's certainly not a deaf coon monster by any stretch
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: of the. Imagination not that we were expecting him to,
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: BE i, think but those that got him IN, FPL
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: i think were, like, WELL i can forgive him not
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: getting the defensive contributions BECAUSE i know he's going to
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: get forward and have shots that we saw last. Season
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: but we're not seeing that, Either SO i don't really
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: see AND i don't see a reason to go For
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: Pedro porro IN fpl right.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: Now but kudos And, simons and what do you make
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: of what do you make A?
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: Spurs, YEAH i, mean you talk about options For arsenal
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: spursal options as. Well you, know they brought, in bought
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: in Tel oderberg came. In you, know they're able to
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: bench like the likes Of, johnson who was such a
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: key player for them last. Year bergvale started the season really.
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: Well they brought in The Chavvy. Simmons charlison was benched as.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: WELL i don't think too many of us were. Expecting,
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: true he's had a good start to the, season so
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: to get that win as well after making quite a few,
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: CHANGES i think is a real you, know it's real
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: positive for the. Side what it does mean, though is
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: that no one's really. Safe you don't really feel anyone's
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: really safe. Anymore BUT i didn't think With charlison had
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: any real threat to anyone, else and then the sudden
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: he misses Out and that's WHERE i Think kudu's is
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: the pick. NOW i think that sort of cemented his
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: status as being the one that you go, for one
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: to go.
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: To, yeah even.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: Someone Like Chavvy, SIMMONS i wouldn't be too surprised if
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: we saw early sub or a bit of rest. Rotation But,
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: KUDUS i just don't see. IT i just think he's
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: he's super, fit he's involved in everything that's. Happening he's
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: cheaper as. Well that's six five sixty six good, PICK
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: i think going, forward and not really someone that i'd
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: consider on the world. Card And i'm looking at it
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: and thinking, out, yeah maybe with those, fixtures MAYBE i
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: should have.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: Done the only Thing i'll say.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: About spurs, though as and just give me your thoughts on,
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: this is THAT i noticed they are top FOR xg
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: over performance across the. Season their actually over performance is
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: five point three. Six they are way over you know
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: what the stats say they should be, scoring and a
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: lot of that is down to own.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: Goals.
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Right their top scorers so far this season his own.
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: Goals they've got, THREE i think to put that into,
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: Context to put that five point three six over performance into,
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: context the next. Best the next team to have the
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: highest X g over performance is Man city with one
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: point eighty. Eight So city are kind of a couple
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: of goals over perhaps where the stats suggest they should.
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: Be spurs are five and a. Half SO i don't
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: know whether we should expect some regression there From spurs
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: or are we, saying, well, look own goal doesn't count
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: towards THE xg stats and that's why it's. Overinflated but
• 32:55
  Speaker 1: an own goal is still an own, goal and they're
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: still carving out these chances and forcing them errors that
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: cause the own. Goals so would that over before that
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: that's a big over performance. There would that concern you
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: going and looking at like A cutlas or A charlison
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: or somebody else in That spurs attack or would you just, say,
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: well that's just game state.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: Stuff, YEAH i don't think so right.
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: Now and they've got three home games the next four,
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: matches and they're games where i'd expect them to score
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: to score goals in not to worried about.
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: IT i, mean obviously it's new manager. Again you, Know
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: frank's implementing new.
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: Systems they've got new, players they're still, learning you know
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: that the ropes with different. Areas SO i don't think
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: it's too surprising that their chemistry is and isn't completely
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: there at the, moment and the chances are, coming but they,
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: will they'll they'll GET i gen'tly Think spurs are going
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: to get better and better and better as the season
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: goes on Because frank is a top, Manager they've got great,
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: players and they've started the season strongly and the confidence is,
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: there so not too worried about. IT i MEAN i
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: do have some reservations About cudas as being like a consistent.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: Scorer you, know he's going to be a player that
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: pops up every now and then with a big, hall
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: but what you want from him is someone who can
• 33:55
  Speaker 3: just regularly get you. Returns otherwise you're going to get
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: frustrated and to be off. Him hopefully this is the,
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: start well not, hopefully it's don't own, him but hopefully
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: in a, sense you, know we see a player that
• 34:08
  Speaker 3: we can rely on a bit more, consistently BECAUSE i
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: mean in his first season at West ham he was.
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: GREAT i think he got about fifteen sixteen goal of
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: ob or something like. That didn't really hit those heights,
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: again but you feel, like you, know he's probably a
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: fifteen to twenty goal A wolven player this, season which
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: for six five would be, great great.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: Value, YEAH i definitely could. Be he can't be.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: UNDERSTATED i don't think that going away lunchtime kickoff after
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: playing In europe in horrendous weather conditions up At leeds,
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: away that's a game you wouldn't, want right even as
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: A liverpool, Fan i'd be, like wouldn't want to play that,
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: game And spurs went up there and did a job on,
• 34:39
  Speaker 1: Them so fair. Play anything to talk about from A leed's,
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: PERSPECTIVE i, know just long staff who's four point nine
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: IN fpl and the midfielder taking over From Anton stack
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: and a lot of the set. Pieces so is he
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: one that might catch your?
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: Eye not, really you, KNOW i still think there's there's
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: better options than the promoted, team you, know. Midfielders AND
• 34:58
  Speaker 3: i MEAN i say this With Calvert lewin in my,
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: Team i'm not quite sure how.
• 35:03
  Speaker 2: He's ended up.
• 35:03
  Speaker 3: There, again he's a a one week you, know on
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: the on the bench, boost you, know but these guys
• 35:09
  Speaker 3: are fine a long staff For Stak cavalu and these
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: guys are fine if they're going to be on your
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: bench most weeks and you, know maybe they come in
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: when you need them more on a bench or something like.
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: That are they going to be regular sources of points
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: for us that we'd want to you, know bench the
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: likes of, brinders you, know sarsses probably not so like he's,
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: fine but you know the fact we're even talking about
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: him as an alternative to stack shows that maybe they're
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: going to eat in to each other points a little.
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: BIT i Think i'd probably just avoid avoid.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: Both all, right let's crack on with some of these other.
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: Games And brentford Versus Manchester city On, Sunday harlem popping
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: up with his Ninth Premier league, goal and even he's
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: saying now he's in the best form of his. Life
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: it's the best he's felt in. Ages in actual, fact
• 35:52
  Speaker 1: in one breath he said it's the best form where
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: he feels like he's in the best form of his.
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: Life but also in his post match interview said, that you,
• 35:59
  Speaker 1: know he felt a little bit under the weather before
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: he took before he got into that, game and he
• 36:02
  Speaker 1: wasn't quite feeling, it and he then said he's.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: BRILLIANT i thought this quote was so.
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: Good he said That set van Der berg in the
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: first five or six minutes kept pushing, him kept giving
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: him a little, bit you, know So harlan kind of,
• 36:13
  Speaker 1: went all, right let's.
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: Have, it and it's time pushing him.
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: Back and the strength that he showed to score that
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: goal and to sort of fend off Set VanderBurg and
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: others just was it was just such a Classic harlem
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: goal with the.
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: Strength it's so so.
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: Good he said that it really motivates him when players
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: give him a little bit like. That so don't Upset
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: Earlin harland is the is the message to take from
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: that particular, INTERACTION i thought in the in the, Interview but,
• 36:39
  Speaker 1: yeah Ninth Premier league. Goal let's not dwell on it
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: too much BECAUSE i think With sala not really hitting
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: the heights of previous years that we've seen from Most
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: SALAH fpr managers can absolutely afford to sell him and
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: get To. Harland AND i, think if you haven't done it,
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: YET i, think just get it, done Because harlan looks.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: Unreal. Right, YEAH i.
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: Don't think we need to talk About harland because it's
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: so obvious to owd him in cap to him pretty
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: much every week the question is who do you pair with?
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: Him you?
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: Know? Again AND i was really really tempted by Docu
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: on on the wild card to the point in which
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: when the deadline ended AND i didn't have, HIM i was,
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: thinking do you know, What i've really made him mistake?
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: There and then you see the lineups he's not in,
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: there and there's all the all the comments From pep
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: about how you, know great he's, been how he's against
• 37:19
  Speaker 3: a low, block all this.
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: Stuff you know what's going to.
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: Happen it's a killer and you, know the only players
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: that seem immune from, that other Than harlan seemed to
• 37:28
  Speaker 3: be foes at the. Moment who has isn't really registering
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: the returns but is looking good in the games That
• 37:33
  Speaker 3: i've seen it. Play And, randers who again. ISN'T i,
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: mean he's had a couple of returns, obviously but he
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: could have had, more you, know yesterday evening and. Didn't
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: so the, question the question for me is not that
• 37:46
  Speaker 3: not who you, is who do you pay if you're
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: going to go for, one but do we actually need?
• 37:50
  Speaker 3: One it's you, know it's it's someone Like sara better
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: than A, rinders for, example Because, Okay ryan's is playing
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: and he's getting the minutes and, things But sara is
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: so involved in everything that's. Happening so we, want we're
• 38:00
  Speaker 3: so desperate to tap Into city because there's such a good,
• 38:03
  Speaker 3: Side but is it coming at the cost of overlooking
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: other players playing for other teams for similar prices who
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: are more involved in?
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: Points absolutely could BE i Mean everton. Palace let's talk
• 38:14
  Speaker 1: about that. Game they're nineteen game, unbeaten running all, competitions
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: comes to an. End it's their first loss Since. April
• 38:19
  Speaker 1: But sar gets to. Points, right that's three goals and
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: one assist in Five Premier league starts for. Him and
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: if you're A mateta owner IN, FPR i think your
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: Bang i'm.
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: Lucky.
• 38:29
  Speaker 1: Right he's missed seven big chances this, season the most
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: of any. Player he's seven point five IN. FPR i
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: still think.
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: He's a good.
• 38:37
  Speaker 1: PICK i still think he's a good pick BECAUSE i
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: And i've said this before on here in other, places
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: that If i've got AN fpn asset and he's just you,
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: know there's and it's a bit most, sala, right he's not,
• 38:47
  Speaker 1: involved he's not you, know racking up ANY xg and
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: he's not doing any take. Ons he looks like that's Not, mateta.
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: Right mateta's absolutely getting the. Chances he's just got to
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: be a bit more clinical and take one of these
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: seven big. Chances if he'd got two or three of,
• 38:59
  Speaker 1: those he'd slotted two or three of those big, chances
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: then we're you, know we're all saying we should be
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: thinking about him as Our chakras, replacement or we'd be
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: put him in the same bracket As bowing as a
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: sort of potential Jaal pedro, replacement, right we'd be all doing.
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: That so, YEAH i agree with, you right to go
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: back to link it back to The Man city, Thing,
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah harlan Du, LOCKE i mean, obvious but there, are,
• 39:20
  Speaker 1: yeah plenty of other options for us to go. To
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: And sara has been catching my eye for a few weeks.
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: Now he's not been in MY fpl team yet this,
• 39:26
  Speaker 1: season BUT i feel Like i'm massively overlooking him at six.
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: Five here's only blank once to the starts he's, Had
• 39:31
  Speaker 3: he's got three goals to. Assist the only time he
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: blank was Against chelsea in that in that first. Match
• 39:36
  Speaker 3: two bonus as.
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: Well we just an. ASSIST i mean that Is that's always,
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: interesting isn't. It this is?
• 39:41
  Speaker 3: It these are the kind of things you're looking, for
• 39:43
  Speaker 3: and he is so him And MUNA'S i, mean they're
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: just they're just so involved in everything that. Happens AND
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: i do Like mateta. Upfront you Know John penn's as.
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: Well you know he's going to kick on and have
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: a decent.
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: Season BUT i would find it hard to pick.
• 39:57
  Speaker 3: HIM i think over those two BECAUSE i, think you,
• 40:00
  Speaker 3: know if you want, to the center backs look, great you,
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: know for def gone as well if you want, to
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: if you want to double, UP i think you paired
• 40:05
  Speaker 3: them with a moon or so you've paid them with
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: a start that would be my route.
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: And elsewhere in that.
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: Game he had grealish three shots in the box in this,
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: game which is as many as he had in game
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: weeks four to six. COMBINED i think he even said
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: in his postmatch interview about you, know he felt like
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: he really wanted to get on the score. Sheet he
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: felt like he'd been doing a lot of, assisting he
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: felt like he was creating. Chances BUT i think he
• 40:24
  Speaker 1: said something like he had a word with himself and
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: that today was the day from the score a goal
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: and he popped up with.
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: IT i didn't know much about it, though did he he.
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: Did that's.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: True he'll take, It, listen he'll take. It but you
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: should know that he's inellegible of course to Face Manchester
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: city in game week, eight SO i don't think any
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: of us are bringing him, in and with The everton
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: fixtures as they, are With city next.
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: Away and Then spurs at.
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: HOME i think, again it's probably a wait and see
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: until game week ten when they then Play, Sunderland fulham
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: And Manchester. United then we might be looking At. Everton
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: where else do you want to? Go as we've not
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: discussed your Team wolves Versus, brighton let's go through that.
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: One do we have?
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: To?
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: Yes we?
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: Do, YEAH i, MEAN i, mean there's not much to
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: say from a family's. PERSPECTIVE i mean it was the
• 41:05
  Speaker 3: subs that really. Sell was just the point against Against
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: wolves in that it's another team we're expected to be
• 41:11
  Speaker 3: comfortably and we just really struggle to break teams. Down
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: and you, know with the greatest, respect a team Like
• 41:18
  Speaker 3: wolves and maybe at the other end of the table
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: at the other end and Me brightener out there in
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: the table and it's a bit, arrogant but you, know
• 41:23
  Speaker 3: a team at the lower end of the, table they
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: set up really well against, us and we really struggle
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: to unlock teams or we have chances and we don't
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: have that clinical finisher up top to put it. Away and,
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: YEAH i Thought wolves played played really well for the
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: majority of the. GAME i think we were quite lucky
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: to get a point from. It And minte is the
• 41:45
  Speaker 3: only One i'd consider From brighton at the moment because
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: you never know who's going to be in the team. Sheet,
• 41:50
  Speaker 3: Well Beck, Ruter ruter missed out in this, one you,
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: know with the subs came on Like.
• 41:54
  Speaker 2: Da koiper that did did really. Well our New.
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: Greek player came off the, bench and the setuper goal
• 42:00
  Speaker 3: you know for our center. Back and you don't know
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: where the goal is going to come. From you don't
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: know who's going to be in the starting, elevel, enough isn't. It, Yeah,
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: yeah It's Mintail. No one and From wolves and there's
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: no one that stands. OUT i mean they're just they're
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: just really really struggling at the, moment you, know no win.
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: Yet they have got successive. DRAWS i Mean Stran larson's
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: their obviously their key goal. Scorer HE'S xgi over the
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: last two games is awour point one. Five so he's not,
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: creating he's not getting the. Chances it's not great for,
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: them all.
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: RIGHT i can tell you're not too excited about Either
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: wolves Or. Brighton i'm going to move it.
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: On i'm going to move in on last couple of
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: games As newcastle is a team THAT i think we
• 42:35
  Speaker 1: can get a little bit more excited. About, yeah some
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: good options. THERE i Bought gordon in this week BECAUSE
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: i just felt like that was a really good game for,
• 42:43
  Speaker 1: them coming up Against forest in a week where, Okay
• 42:47
  Speaker 1: european football, around, right But forest in particular under The
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: Andrew Pasta cooglu having a difficult. Time we know that
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: he's under pressure already six games in seven games in so,
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: YEAH i went for, him but only a zero point
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: one FIVE Xgi gordon and no point not three for
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: a L, anger, Right AND i know That gordon took a
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: couple of penalties In europe in, midweek SO i was
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: kind of, hoping you, know again the same with some of.
• 43:09
  Speaker 2: My other decisions IN.
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: FPL i was looking at, him, going, well if he takes,
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: penalties we like the penalty takes AND fpl of, course
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: And newcastle did get a, penalty but it was after
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: he went off and it was Wal mart scored.
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: It so in CLASSIC fpl, fashion that is what. Happened.
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: Newcastle though you've Got pope anybody, else you've Got gordon as,
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: well so you you're obviously keen to invest a little
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: bit on your.
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: Work.
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: Ud yeah fixed it, great and you KNOW i do
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: think this is the turn for. Them you, know they've
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: they've they have had a slow start to the. Season
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: BUT i think With woltemader up top and you Know
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: gordon's now back from the, ban and the midfield they've,
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: got you, know they they they're just the top a
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: top side and it's about how to tap into the
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: attack of the best. Way it's really Frustrating gordon because
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: he would have taken that penalty if he'd been on
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: the pitch almost. Certainly, yeah but you know that's the
• 43:54
  Speaker 3: risk you take with him because they've got good wiggers
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: who can come on when they when how it feels
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: like they're struggling to break teams. Down came, on he
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: put in the same mixed gay as As. Gordon nor
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: put one five And murphy came on for a l
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: anger and you know far surpassed him nowe point four
• 44:07
  Speaker 3: Line murphy hadwin came, On so they've got options they
• 44:10
  Speaker 3: can change things. Up gordon is one that needs to
• 44:13
  Speaker 3: deliver over the next few weeks, because like we've talked about,
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: already there's so many other midfielders that you want.
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: Instead SO i can already feel myself being fickle with.
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: Him do you know WHAT i?
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: MEAN i need those returns Otherwise i'm going to get itchy.
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: Feet quite, Cool, exactly he's replaceable in the. TEAM i
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: think it's like sixteen games or something he hasn't scored
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: in now or something like. That so it's going to
• 44:33
  Speaker 1: be a relief for him when he when he does,
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: score and hopefully it comes soon when he's in our.
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: Size.
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah and from a forest, Perspective Chris wood six successive
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: starts now and six successive, blanks which is very hard to. Say,
• 44:44
  Speaker 1: actually surely just a matter of time Before Igor jesus.
• 44:47
  Speaker 1: Comes in final Game villa Versus, burnley let's discuss That
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: watkins subbed off after sixty six, minutes so again frustration
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: for his owners when it looked like in the last
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: sort of week or so that he kind of turned
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: a bit of a. Corner but if we're unsure as
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: to Whether watkins has turned the corner or not for the,
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: season then WE i think we can confidently say That
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: villa have that's the fourth successive win in all. Competitions
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: and it was What unaimori did to With Donnielle marlon
• 45:11
  Speaker 1: that really made the difference, here, Right he was the
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: most advanced when you look at the heat, maps he
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: was the most advanced of all The villa, players and
• 45:17
  Speaker 1: he was very much playing that kind of second striker
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: Alongside Ollie, watkins very very. Central the only five point
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: one IN fpl as, so given That Unai emri is
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: kind of not really Given marlon a lot of minutes
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: so far this, season but give him the start, here
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: tweak the. System it's. Worked he clearly is a player
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: that knows where the net. Is we've seen that in previous.
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: Seasons is he gonna attempt a FEW fpr managers at
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: five point?
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: One he might? Do? Me.
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: YEAH i mean he had a good pre, season isn't,
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: He and we thought this was going to be his.
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: Year he spoke very confidently impressed conferences and you, know
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: said he wanted to kick on from from where he
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: has been and then just immediately bench And betty gets
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: a look in. AGAIN i, mean you similar to like stack.
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: Alongside if it's a spot that it's a spot that
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: you can afford to play around with a bit of
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: your second or first or second sub or something like
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: that may become a bit of. Fun BUT i don't
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: really know why you would go there with the Fixtures
• 46:10
  Speaker 3: villa have GOT i Mean city before actually, YEAH i Mean,
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: Spurs Man, City Liverpool, BORNMOUTH i mean even leads away
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: after that is. Tough and, yeah you Say villa have
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: turned the, corner but actually Only burnye ranked worse for
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: extuyear over the season in terms of the minutes for
• 46:24
  Speaker 3: actually one hundred and eleven point four and Only wolves
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: And forests have scored fewer.
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: Goals over the. Season so is that going to change
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: dramatically over the next four. WEEKS i don't think.
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: So i'm still going to back them to be in
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: and around that bottom, three you, know and then when
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: the fixtures turn maybe maybe things you.
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: Know get.
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: Better but for, NOW i still don't think you're invested In,
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: villa and in, fact i'd say if you've got any
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: of their assets you look to.
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: Sell, yeah those fixtures look, tricky Don't they look? Tricky
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: and from A burnley, perspective just to finish up yet
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: to win a single point away from home this, season
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: having conceded thirteen goals while playing on the, road which
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: is which is the worst in the league from a way,
• 47:00
  Speaker 1: Perspective SO i don't think that we're investing There Jaden,
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: anthony who's been very lively in the last few, weeks
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: off on the fifty ninth, minute so just about didn't
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: get that extra point that some of his owners would have.
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: Liked just a quick shout out For hartman a four
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: point zero, defenders he's super super. Cheap two assists in two,
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: matches AND i also noted that he's joint third among
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: ALL fpl defenders for chances created this. Season so maybe
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: one to keep an eye. On but for, Me burnley
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: still a team the target and AS i, say particularly
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: when they visit the opposition that's away from, home they're.
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: Struggling, yeah, NO i completely Agreett hartman over over a
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: stev maybe on a bench book or something like. That but,
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah anthony was someone WHO i did look at because
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: obviously he's cheaper at five, Million but in the end
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: of the minutes were a. Concern that's WHY i ended
• 47:47
  Speaker 3: up going For Calvert. Lewin but you're going to be
• 47:50
  Speaker 3: a bit worried about, HIM i think going forward because
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: they're struggling to score goals and you, know maybe change
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: needs to be made in the.
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: Attack, YEAH i agree with you on that one as.
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: Absolutely, YEAH Welli we're heading into an intestrial break, now
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: so a lot of OUR fbl assets are jetting off
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: around the world to join up with their international. Teammates
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: if your while carding LIKE i did last, week do
• 48:10
