Latest / Draft Offsides Podcast / GW4 Rock Out with Your FAAB Out I Ep: 104
Transcript
- 0:00Hello and welcome to episode 104 of Draft Offsides.
- 0:03I'm with Tico Enzo, my name is Keith.
- 0:05So much to cover, it's kind of even hard to know where to
- 0:08start. Do you guys want to start with
- 0:11some personal things that are going on, like some personal
- 0:16trades that we need to clear the air about?
- 0:19Tico. I'm I'm be good with that.
- 0:22So I, I sent a trade over to Tico and it's, it's this is
- 0:25totally my fault. And I'm not, I'm not sitting
- 0:27here acting like I'm not like Tico or Enzo where I'm like
- 0:29expecting me to do something I'm not expecting.
- 0:33Me into this I'm like. I'm living with the consequences
- 0:36of my actions here. But I sent a trade over to Tico
- 0:38last week and it was Jack Reelish and Dorie McNeil for
- 0:45Anthony Gordon. And then he just didn't.
- 0:47He didn't accept it or not accept.
- 0:49He just, it was pending and then the the Newcastle game happened
- 0:53and after Anthony Gordon got the red, immediately after Anthony
- 0:55Gordon got the red, he auto accepted it and just laughed his
- 1:00ass off. And it's, I personally think it
- 1:02was a little bit of a scummy move, but I'm not going to like
- 1:04throw a hissy fit about it is what it is, but a little scummy.
- 1:08Can I, I can just see Tico's face like the first thing he did
- 1:13as soon as that red card happened, it would have been
- 1:16only like 2 seconds before he checked his phone was see if
- 1:18that that deal was still on the table.
- 1:20And as soon as he saw it, I could just see the yeah.
- 1:25That's exactly what happens. But again, the second thing on
- 1:28that is that's what you get for accepting his drunk mushroom
- 1:31yayed out wherever he was on drugs in Amsterdam trade.
- 1:35It's just. Calm it is what?
- 1:36Yeah, I mean, I I should have cancelled the trade before the
- 1:38game started. Like it's it's on me.
- 1:41What I always do is whenever someone sends me trade offer, I
- 1:44know that I don't want it. I never decline it.
- 1:47I never ever decline a trade in the hopes of something like this
- 1:50to happen. So I could go on there and
- 1:51accept the trade. It just it's amazing that it
- 1:55happened to you and it's amazing that I got actually like, I
- 1:58mean, Grillish and Gordon it they might be awash.
- 2:01It might be, but. I mean, I think grillish.
- 2:03Is still a big a big take I feel.
- 2:06I think, I think the other day that I'm not not at the trade at
- 2:08all. Even the way it is.
- 2:09I think Gordon is a higher value than grillish end of season.
- 2:13Like, you know, so I'm not I'm not mad at it.
- 2:15I think like obviously I'm taking like a three-game hit
- 2:17where I'm just not going to have him and it sucks.
- 2:19But like if you would have told me I this trade would happen and
- 2:22I just wouldn't you like defer agree, like for three games I
- 2:26would have been like, OK, I might take that.
- 2:28You know what I mean? It's just, it's just like the
- 2:29way it happened was, was. Shitty keef yes I when I when I
- 2:33went to look at it even when I clicked the accepted like right
- 2:36before like right after as well I was like man do I really want
- 2:41to make this trade or do I not want to make this trade yeah the
- 2:44idea of me screwing you over and knowing how so you would.
- 2:47Get like even. If it's a bad trade, I have to
- 2:49accept this trade. Tipped it over the edge.
- 2:51Yeah. I kind of figured that was part
- 2:52of it. Like you, I don't know if you
- 2:54really wanted to make that trade.
- 2:55That was what happened. Beautiful.
- 2:56It is what it is. OK.
- 2:58Funny. Ha ha.
- 2:59Just FYI, for the record, I've never made a bad trade one way
- 3:03or another. It's always been fair.
- 3:05I just realized all of us are wearing our favorite teams
- 3:08jerseys. I think that's the look at, look
- 3:09at. Yeah, we have our the new kits.
- 3:11New kits, baby, new kit goofing. Oh.
- 3:17Wait, what? I'm just goofing.
- 3:19New boot goofing. Oh, OK.
- 3:22Let's talk about let's really quickly.
- 3:24We have so much to cover. There's obviously like crazy.
- 3:26The transfer window just ended. Real quick though, Let's talk
- 3:28about our bet last week. So Tika, what was our bet last
- 3:30week and how did we not succeed with our bets?
- 3:33So initial was Newcastle, but because of the red, we took out
- 3:37the Newcastle, we replaced it with Master United.
- 3:41It was a 14 parlay. It was Everton, Palace, United
- 3:48who replaced, who replaced Newcastle and Master City 3-4.
- 3:52It's for all of us picked one team including our producer
- 3:55Sergei. All of us got our best correct
- 3:58with the exception of Keith. Yep, who is fantasy wise is just
- 4:03taking massive LS Gave up, gave up a player run, didn't get the
- 4:10hit on the parlay and went on to in his fantasy.
- 4:14I went 0122 man, why are you bringing it up?
- 4:18I feel like my team. I feel like my team.
- 4:19So I'm not. I'm not like I'm not.
- 4:21Panicking I made, I made, I made bad managerial decisions on the
- 4:2410 man league, but on the 12 man league it was just unfortunate
- 4:29bad game for the. It happens.
- 4:31For the person that commented said my team is the worst one.
- 4:351st place only team that's undefeated 3.
- 4:38You know, whoever you are, suck it.
- 4:42It's it's early Tikka. I don't know.
- 4:44It's it's fine. Let's see you talking.
- 4:45After 10 games, let's. Say this early, but you know
- 4:49you, you're. Going to talk to the.
- 4:50Win the games you've played. Yeah, yeah, I.
- 4:51Hate you. That's true.
- 4:52OK, OK, let's move on from this. I don't like I don't like the
- 4:54tikka gloating section that we're in right now.
- 4:56Oh. Delays me some more.
- 4:58OK, so the transfer window to shot, that was the craziest
- 5:03transfer window I think I've ever witnessed in like 20 years
- 5:06of being a soccer fan. 25 years of being a soccer fan.
- 5:09They've been some crazy transfer windows, but this as a like this
- 5:14a majority of sheer. Volume.
- 5:16Yeah, just the sheer volume, yeah.
- 5:18Not just going coming in, but going out that.
- 5:21Was everything. So much.
- 5:22So chaotic, so much drama with like the E SEC thing and then
- 5:25like this Nico Jackson thing at the end where he was like going
- 5:28to go on a loan to Byron and like, the lockets are like
- 5:31trying to recall him and he's refusing to leave.
- 5:33Germany. Then then they end up just like
- 5:36settling on just bringing Mark Wahey back and then they let
- 5:38Jackson go, but they actually got more from, they renegotiate
- 5:41and got more from. Yeah.
- 5:43So it was, it was crazy. It's been an absolutely insane
- 5:46few days. I think we need to talk about it
- 5:48from a fantasy breakdown and talk about some of the guys that
- 5:51are officially in. I think the first, obviously, I
- 5:54think the number one pick that everyone's talking about is Xabi
- 5:57Simmons to Tottenham. I think Enzo like like that kind
- 6:02of nowhere, kind of, huh? Yeah, I came out nowhere.
- 6:05It was like Chelsea was like kind of all over them all summer
- 6:08and then it seemed like that wasn't going to happen.
- 6:10And then they taught them, moved quickly and they kind of needed
- 6:12to move quickly given what had happened to them.
- 6:13I was going to say it's a transfer window.
- 6:15For me one, shame on you, For me twice, shame on me.
- 6:17We got that happened. So the third time you better
- 6:19fucking get it right. So we need an attacking a #10
- 6:24and Simmons was the guy and we got, we got them for cheaper
- 6:26than we would have got for ESE. So he's 22, he's already played
- 6:30Champions League, we're in Champions League this year.
- 6:31So we need that experience so. Played in Played in the EUR too.
- 6:34In the EUR too. Main man in the Euros.
- 6:36So he's a good young, young player.
- 6:38Like he's, he's mostly proven for our scene from when I've
- 6:42ever watched him play, whether it be in PSG, obviously, like
- 6:46let's see, Leipzig. Was he at Bayern Munich at some
- 6:49point? No, right?
- 6:51No PSG. No PSG and he looks good, so I
- 6:55think he's a big one and he's going to be starred all day,
- 6:58every day because we don't have a 10 because Madison's out for
- 7:01the rest of the year, so we should be fine.
- 7:05I think, yeah. So I think the three biggest
- 7:08names that we really are going to break down are Xavi Simmons,
- 7:11Kola Milani in Woltamad. But I think, I mean, I don't
- 7:15understand how I feel, I don't know how you guys feel, but is
- 7:17he without a doubt, Xavi Simmons is the number one waiver pick up
- 7:20I've given from all the new guys.
- 7:22Well, you guys, the ones that are available?
- 7:24That are available yeah yeah Tigo you disagree you picked one
- 7:27of the other guys that. So before whistle went to
- 7:30Newcastle, I had Voltum ranked tire and I still have him ranked
- 7:35tire, just having an E stock replacement and what E stock
- 7:38did. Obviously you're not replacing
- 7:40apple, you know, apples with apples, but the potential is
- 7:44there, especially with the team. The Newcastle has just a bunch
- 7:47of wingers, so I think his potential to score is higher and
- 7:51also we have more clarity where he's going to play, whereas
- 7:53Simmons, is he going to play on the wing?
- 7:56Is he? He's going to play 10 in the
- 7:57middle, he's going to play 10. He ain't going to play on the.
- 7:59He can play, he can play on the wing.
- 8:01He. Can play on the wing, but he's
- 8:02he's going to play 10. We know this for sure.
- 8:04I'm dude 99% sure I'm not. And and also with like Kulu
- 8:10coming back sometime this year, how, how that's going to
- 8:14balance. So to me and also, you know,
- 8:16yours, all that stuff. So to me, there's more question
- 8:18mark with Simmons. And also like to me, I have this
- 8:22thing where like someone's 22 years old and they bounced on,
- 8:24bounced around a lot with like different teams.
- 8:26Like, what's the reason? Like something's you know.
- 8:28Yeah, but he hasn't underperformed at any of those
- 8:30teams. Tiko the one.
- 8:32Thing about the, the teams that he was at, he was at PSG during
- 8:35like the, the messy era, you know, it wasn't like there was
- 8:38all this, like there was this opportunity from there.
- 8:40And then he goes a Leipzig and does really well.
- 8:42And then with Voltamard, like he had a great EUR under 21 euros.
- 8:47He's another young player, he's coming from Germany.
- 8:50We already know what what majority of the German players
- 8:53are like once they come to England.
- 8:54They don't always start off very well and he hasn't really done
- 8:57it in the league. I'm not confident in Voltamar.
- 9:00Not saying he won't do well because I agree Newcastle's got
- 9:03the players to create for him, but can he finish?
- 9:08So in the Bundesliga for Stuttgart, he in 28 games, he
- 9:12scored twelve goals. It's not amazing numbers.
- 9:15It's not. Terrible.
- 9:16It's not terrible numbers. It's not terrible, but it
- 9:18doesn't like, it's not like eye popping numbers.
- 9:21But again, he is 6/6. He's a huge target.
- 9:24What? Is up with you in size, bro size
- 9:26doesn't matter. I mean, it matters, you know?
- 9:30Say that to Messi. He he, he's on stairs.
- 9:34We established this. Normally Donald has actually
- 9:37like an amazing comedy bit about like the size thing, but I'll
- 9:40say it after we finish. OK, Yeah.
- 9:41Pause. But yeah, so to me it's just the
- 9:47biggest thing is like, we know where Nick Bolton fold upon is
- 9:53going to play Voldemort. Yeah.
- 9:55So I think that's why I kind of provide some more clarity.
- 9:57That's why I haven't ranked higher.
- 9:59And also that team is just a lot of wingers and like people who
- 10:01put just puts balls in the box and like a lot of crosses.
- 10:04Yeah, I think they also, you have to think about Eddie Howe
- 10:06has done a really good job of nurturing talent, you know, in
- 10:10the past. The one thing I do want to shout
- 10:11out is that in Esac's first year, Callum Wilson was also at
- 10:15Newcastle. And that was, remember when Cal
- 10:17Wilson was like playing for England, It was quite good.
- 10:19And like he had like, so that year I think, I think ESAC ended
- 10:22with like 10 or 11 goals and Calm Wilson ended with like 18
- 10:25goals. Yeah.
- 10:26So they were split and they weren't, they weren't.
- 10:28They each had like 15 plus starts, you know what I mean?
- 10:31So I think, I think with Whistler going there and like
- 10:34the profiles are very similar, like Volta Mod being like new to
- 10:37the league, really high profile and then like an established guy
- 10:40that's a little older, it seems very, very similar.
- 10:43So I have a feeling it's gonna be a very, very similar split of
- 10:45games and split of usage. It it's like head 17 stars, ten
- 10:49goals, one assist, which is like, that's pretty amazing, you
- 10:53know, for the first year. And then what was, what was
- 10:54Colin Wilson that same here? It was like, I think it was like
- 10:5718 starts and eighteen goals or something, right?
- 10:59Or you go also bench and score and.
- 11:01Pull them up Wilson 21 starts, eighteen goals, 5 assists.
- 11:06Yeah, yeah. So I, I, I just think that I, I
- 11:09think, I mean, I'm not, I'm not mad at the ultimate shot.
- 11:11No, no, I'm not mad. I.
- 11:12Also think, I think especially maybe if you have a striker or
- 11:16if you have Wissa. I mean, if you have Wissa, he
- 11:18should be your number one. Probably if we if we saw he
- 11:21could play on the right wing, right?
- 11:23He's he's not can. He can't, but he plays on the
- 11:25left or off. He plays more off the.
- 11:26Left or right or left yet? Because along the.
- 11:29Off the left. Well, I mean, he's not going to
- 11:32overtake Anthony Gordon on the left.
- 11:34So if you put him, if you put him on the right, their right
- 11:37wing situation has been like kind of a rotation
- 11:39underwhelming. Like a long guy, Langa.
- 11:41But he hasn't even started every game right?
- 11:43So that might be. He didn't start one game.
- 11:45I think that was that had more to do with they did a weird,
- 11:48they did like a weird 352 thing, got it.
- 11:50Weird lineup. We'll, we'll see what happens.
- 11:53You want me to tell you so in the league last year you want to
- 11:56know Xabi Simmons and Nick Wilton?
- 11:57Mods points per start. You're going Xabi Simmons 13.95
- 12:02points per start. Wooldemod 12.46.
- 12:07Wow. Both really good numbers.
- 12:09Really good numbers. But it's also of Germany.
- 12:11It's like hard to. That's what I'm saying.
- 12:12So yeah. So I think for me, I'd probably
- 12:15rank them personally. Zabi, you're kind of making me
- 12:19think Wooldemod over over Milani.
- 12:21Me too. Do you think that I I?
- 12:23I I would put one thing I'd put Voldemort over Milani.
- 12:26Though I think the things with Zabi Simmons and Milani that
- 12:28that make me think actually that like, I don't know if you can go
- 12:31wrong here because like with both of them, you know, they're
- 12:33going to be playing a lot more. I think with Colin Milani in
- 12:37Walter Mard, I think there's less, there's probably less than
- 12:39that. I like you.
- 12:40No, no, no, no, no. That's obviously going to be
- 12:42playing. Yeah, almost every single game
- 12:44that he's healthy. But the other two, I think there
- 12:45could be some rotation and the weather.
- 12:47Milani comes off the left with, with Charleston there, with
- 12:50Brendan Johnson, with all these players, I could see him not
- 12:53being eased in a little more. And I could see Walter Mard
- 12:56being eased in a little more with Lister there.
- 12:58But you know from the ribs, like right off the bounce that Zabi
- 13:01Simmons is going to be the guy that's going to be getting all
- 13:04the minutes. So I think to me, that's why
- 13:05he's number one. I think the other two you could
- 13:07make an argument either way, personally.
- 13:10OK, so those are the I'd call those the big three, right?
- 13:13Those are the big three guys coming in.
- 13:15Some of the other noticeable ones, Harvey Elliott to Villa.
- 13:18I think Harvey Elliott's someone that we've all really liked and
- 13:21it's just been a matter of opportunity for him.
- 13:25So now he has a chance to go to Villa.
- 13:26I think the one concerning thing with Villa is that like.
- 13:28Rogers. I mean, there's just a lot of, I
- 13:30mean a lot of rotation at Villa and like last year even with
- 13:33Ascencio and Rashford and all these guys coming in like they
- 13:35just, they like they rotate a lot.
- 13:37So I think that's problematic. We also liked Harvey Ailey a lot
- 13:41of when Cop was the manager last year, obviously he didn't get a
- 13:45lot of opportunity, but Even so, I feel like he didn't really do
- 13:48much when he was starting. And with Villa they've been
- 13:51brought bringing a lot of midfielders.
- 13:53This kind of hasn't worked out for them.
- 13:54So I think that's gonna be an interesting one.
- 13:55I, I think to me, it's like I, I wouldn't waste a lot of fab on
- 13:59there. It's not like wait and see.
- 14:01Yeah. Someone's going to take a risk
- 14:03though. Someone's going to take a risk
- 14:04and they're going to put a little bit of fab on them, but
- 14:05there's so many. There's so many people.
- 14:07It's like you either invest 100% into a couple players or 100%
- 14:11into one player, or you try to spread your fab out and try to
- 14:15see what you catch, what you need.
- 14:17But I think I think there's an argument you made for both,
- 14:20right? Like, I think like guys, people
- 14:21are going to be have to drop players to pick up some of these
- 14:23guys. And so you might be able to get
- 14:25some gems off waivers. And the other opportunity I
- 14:28think there is I was talking talking to a friend about this
- 14:30is like maybe you play like that.
- 14:32You remember, like in the gold rush, like the guys who made the
- 14:34most money were the ones that like sold the shovels, not so
- 14:36much the guys searching for gold.
- 14:37Yeah. So maybe the move is you
- 14:39actually just try and get rid of your FAB for like an established
- 14:43player and not chase, you know, maybe it's like try and get, you
- 14:48know, trade for someone who's underperforming like an Ollie
- 14:50walk insurance and throw like a player plus 60 FAB sort of that
- 14:53fab and see if you can get like an Ollie walk insurance.
- 14:55Yeah, as opposed to one of these unknowns that's coming to the
- 14:58league. I think that's, I think that's a
- 15:00very good, good strategy as well here.
- 15:02Yeah, I mean, same thing with like to me between Harvey
- 15:04Elliott and the next person you have on the list, Jayden Sancho,
- 15:07who's also going to Villa. I'd rather take the risk with
- 15:09Jayden Sancho because even like remember last year's singing
- 15:14happened, Villa Brada and Ascencio on the right, Santo
- 15:18Rashford on the left. And for whatever reason, like
- 15:20Rashford like kind of revived his career.
- 15:22We know Sancho when he went back to Dortmund.
- 15:24Was it last year He also revived his two years ago, he revived
- 15:27his career. So I think for the potential for
- 15:29him to like the, the ceiling for him I think is higher.
- 15:33But Javier Elliott. For like for like fantasy value.
- 15:35I agree. So yeah, I mean, I think Harvey
- 15:38Ellis might be the better player, but not for fantasy
- 15:40value. OK, so here's a question and I
- 15:42don't know how you guys want to like we can do it the way that I
- 15:44have it in my my head, but tell me if you guys think this
- 15:47doesn't make sense. I want to ask you guys how much
- 15:50fab you're going to spend on Xavi Simmons, Kohl Milani, Nick
- 15:53Walter Mod. Do you want to do the thing
- 15:55where we each take our headphones out and like look
- 15:57away instead of 32nd timer and let each of us talk?
- 15:59Or do you want to just? I don't think it should be 30
- 16:02seconds. I think 10 seconds should be
- 16:04enough for us to say how much are we going to do?
- 16:07I need that. OK, I mean, I was thinking it'd
- 16:08be nice, but just. OK, I mean.
- 16:11You would also like because. Remember, that's a.
- 16:13That's a long time. If you already think about 30
- 16:15seconds doesn't sound like a. Suit, let's do it.
- 16:16Let's do it. Everyone get your clocks out,
- 16:18Yeah? Let's do 30 seconds because we
- 16:20could also like kind of provide something.
- 16:21Are we doing all? Wait?
- 16:22Are we doing all three in the 30 seconds or just?
- 16:24Yeah, 3 and 30 seconds. OK, then you OK, I gotcha.
- 16:27OK, so who wants to go first? I could go first.
- 16:29OK, So what we're going to do is we're going to look, we're going
- 16:32to like go off screen and take our headphones off.
- 16:34Right. Well, yeah.
- 16:35Do you guys have your phones? But yeah, I'll just put it in
- 16:36the WhatsApp message when I'm done.
- 16:38Do I? I have to leave the room right?
- 16:39That's fucked up. No, just take your headphones
- 16:41off. Take your headphones off.
- 16:43OK, I'm going to hit start now. Just we'll think.
- 16:45We'll pop back in in 30 seconds. Yeah.
- 16:46All right, go. Ready to say go?
- 16:48All right, so for Simmons, I'm going to put 40 for Ultimate,
- 16:53I'm going to put 30 for. Let's see for Kolo, I'm not
- 16:58putting any fab on Kolo. I just Richardson's been doing
- 17:02good, but I think Simon's upside is there and also I have
- 17:05whistle, so I want to make sure I handicap him with ultimate on
- 17:08Newcastle. But also Real Madrid is off to
- 17:113A start top of the league. Whereas Barcelona, those
- 17:15assholes tied after cheated Lemi Yamal fake the penalty, VAR was
- 17:20down conveniently they're going to hit this.
- 17:22OK, that's three seconds. Did you get everything out you
- 17:25wanted? Yeah, I honestly like 15 seconds
- 17:27was. It was all you needed.
- 17:29Yeah. OK.
- 17:30Should I just go? Because Enzo looks like he
- 17:32didn't set a timer so I don't know where he went.
- 17:34But he's going to come back, and then he's going to.
- 17:37So why? What happened to his camera?
- 17:39I don't know. So I'm just going to go.
- 17:40You want to just get off and I'll go because I don't know.
- 17:42Who knows? Can I?
- 17:43Can I still stay here? Just flip around or something.
- 17:45I don't want to. I can't.
- 17:46I still want you to read my lips, all right?
- 17:49Yeah. I don't need to see it.
- 17:50Ready. Ready.
- 17:52OK, OK. I think all three of these guys
- 17:56are 100 Fab players. If you need one, you should go
- 17:58after them. I think they're all worth 100
- 18:01FAB because that's like when you think about like a third round
- 18:04pick, 100 Fab is right about that.
- 18:06I think for me that Zabi Simmons is the number one.
- 18:08This is what I talked about, where he's going to be have the
- 18:10opportunity to get in and play the most right off the RIP.
- 18:14I think I'm leaning towards Kola Milani 2 and will tomorrow now
- 18:18being 3rd and I think all three are totally 100 fat players and
- 18:22that's what you're gonna have to spend to get them.
- 18:25So. So yeah, that was this has now
- 18:27been 30 seconds and I don't know where the hell Enzo is and Tico
- 18:30is just has it back to me. So yeah.
- 18:33All right, so we don't went and then Enzo's Mia.
- 18:36Oh it Enzo probably waiting for you to message him.
- 18:38OK, Enzo, Are you ready? I didn't do mine yet.
- 18:41What are? You did you.
- 18:42You ready do. Your message in the friggin chat
- 18:45room like you said you're going to do.
- 18:47OK. And so we both went.
- 18:48So you're ready to go? We're going to step off.
- 18:50Yeah. Oh.
- 18:51Wait, Sergey's. And you can't be in here when
- 18:53I'm doing this, mate. No, you can't be in here when I
- 18:56do this, bro. I'm doing my.
- 18:58My what? Fab, I'm going to use.
- 18:59I don't trust you. Get off.
- 19:02No, get off. Get off.
- 19:04I didn't even go. Why?
- 19:06Because your brother jumped on to the what?
- 19:09Wait, I don't do another 30 seconds.
- 19:12I bet we're wasting time. I didn't.
- 19:14You haven't gone you. Don't say it.
- 19:19Yeah, you need to go. Do we need to step off again?
- 19:21Yeah, because I didn't do it. Don't.
- 19:22But that wasn't even 30 seconds. You guys said 30 seconds, it was
- 19:2530. Seconds, 30 seconds.
- 19:26I was 20 seconds. Keep going.
- 19:28OK, ready set. Is that a way you?
- 19:30Oh yeah, on, on three. OK, ready.
- 19:32Set go 30 seconds starts now. Lovely.
- 19:34Zachary Simmons. I'm going to do 100 because I
- 19:36want Zachary Simmons. Wolfstag, If you need a striker,
- 19:41I think you should go higher like 60-70 fab, but if you
- 19:45really need him, I still got 100.
- 19:47Columwani, I really won't do too much.
- 19:48He's going to totem, so I don't know if he's going to score that
- 19:51many goals, but you never know. But I would do I'd go low and
- 19:55maybe spread out on him and Wolfstadt as a backup.
- 19:58That's what I would do. Sergei, I hate you because I
- 20:04don't want, I don't want them to hear hear it from the.
- 20:07Distance. OK, so those are the three that
- 20:09we are. We didn't want to reveal because
- 20:11we don't want to screw it up for ourselves.
- 20:13But let's talk. Let's talk Harvey, Elliott and
- 20:15Jude and Sancho. Should we have Sergey ranked
- 20:16real quick? No, no, I don't.
- 20:19I don't want him to tip. Tip anything off.
- 20:21He already. He already?
- 20:22Yeah, OK. I don't want to tip anything
- 20:25off. All right.
- 20:25Harvey Elliott, Tavilla, are you what?
- 20:27Where were you guys at with that one?
- 20:29I think we can talk about these ones, right?
- 20:30That's on this year. I don't think that's an issue.
- 20:31I'm thinking like I think you like easily could spend 2535
- 20:35thousand on that. This is you.
- 20:37You know you're going to spread are you going to?
- 20:39But if you want it for sure, like you go a little bit higher
- 20:43again you. Want it for sure you pay 100 fab
- 20:46then you get them. Yeah, that's 100 fab though and
- 20:47you go hope you're doing the waiver wire.
- 20:50Yeah, yeah, yeah. So, but I think like, yeah,
- 20:52where, where's the where do you think it's value?
- 20:53Where do you think you you start?
- 20:55It starts becoming like worth it?
- 20:57I think paying more than. 30-40 yeah, more than 30 fab is too
- 21:01much I already feel. But if you I don't know, I mean
- 21:03what you need. I think, I think the only
- 21:05concern is just rotation. And like when you look at Villa
- 21:08players in the past, even like Ascencio and Rashford last year
- 21:11that were considered successes, like didn't start over again.
- 21:13Yeah. So I don't know, maybe it's a
- 21:15little bit different this year because they don't have Europe.
- 21:18That's true. But I just think that's a
- 21:20concern. I think there's still a lot of
- 21:21players there. They're still Danya Malin,
- 21:23they're still Morgan Rogers, they're still Bailey's still
- 21:27there. Like, you know, I.
- 21:28Don't know if you guys know this.
- 21:29I put this in the notes for the recaps, but yeah, so they
- 21:33haven't scored a goal this year, right?
- 21:34They haven't scored a goal this year.
- 21:35Yeah, so they need all the attacking help they could get.
- 21:38So yeah, it's. Yeah, I understand there's a lot
- 21:41of, there's a lot of, there's a lot of faces in the crowd at
- 21:45Villa and so that that's a concern.
- 21:46I think it was Sancho too. Bailey's no longer a Villa
- 21:50player. Well, he wasn't.
- 21:51Oh did he play all year? Shit.
- 21:53My thought. My thought.
- 21:53Yeah, he's in. He's in aroma.
- 21:56You're right, my bad. But yeah.
- 21:58And when Dia's there, I mean, there's guys there.
- 22:00Yeah, there's guys there, yeah. So I think I'm, I mean, Sancho,
- 22:03I'd go a little higher. I think you could maybe take a
- 22:05little bit of a sound. But again, like, it wasn't like
- 22:07he really lit it up at Chelsea last year.
- 22:08I think he's kind of struggles in the Premier League.
- 22:10Yeah, but he, I think he does better in Germany and.
- 22:12But he was, you know, I think he he struggled at Chelsea because
- 22:15of the rotation. He didn't play as many games.
- 22:18Yeah. I think he had certain games
- 22:19where he looked really good. There's other games where he's.
- 22:21Thinking these games that you're going to get more good games out
- 22:23of them than bad, I feel. So I think he might be worth a
- 22:2555%. Donna ROM at a city, what do you
- 22:29guys think? You, you know, you know already
- 22:31what we think. You love that.
- 22:34You absolutely love that. I mean, I, I, I think I like it
- 22:38because he's a really good shop stopper.
- 22:39You like him because he's a Man City goalkeeper.
- 22:41You think he's gonna get clean sheets still?
- 22:43You know this? Is no, I do not think that
- 22:45anymore. I've learned, I've learned.
- 22:46It takes me. Took me two years.
- 22:47I've learned hard way what that's not the case.
- 22:49What I would say is I don't think Ederson the last couple of
- 22:52years had any high value for as far as like fantasy wise for
- 22:55city. But this City team is not the
- 22:59City team we know. Nope, Their defense is not that
- 23:01good. I think he's going to have a lot
- 23:02more saves. I don't know about cleaning
- 23:04shoes, but I think he's going to get a lot of more shots on he's
- 23:07going. To be busy, yeah, I mean, I like
- 23:10it. I, I think the name values going
- 23:11to make it be. So there's leagues where people
- 23:14are going to spend fab on them, which I would never recommend
- 23:16spending fab on them both. Yeah, You know, I just think
- 23:18that's a waste of a waste of a precious resource.
- 23:21Just just put on one or two, so you go ahead of the waiver wire
- 23:25over there. Yeah, or you just pick up the
- 23:27keeper that whoever bought him dropped.
- 23:29Yeah, like keepers are so like kind of whatever to me.
- 23:33All right. West Ham signed 2 mids Matthias
- 23:35Fernandez, who was a he played for Southampton last year.
- 23:40He actually, he played in this game, he started on the left
- 23:42wing. He actually looked fairly good.
- 23:44Yeah. I thought he looked OK.
- 23:46Well. I I think it was the formation.
- 23:49It worked with that player and worked with Bowen obviously too.
- 23:51So but, but, but let's be, let's be frank, they didn't score
- 23:56until the last 10 minutes of the game.
- 23:58They banged in three. So yeah, I.
- 24:00Mean still some issues there at West Ham.
- 24:03Fernandez 7.5 and it was all ghost.
- 24:06All right, maybe you got what you got one 6.5 and you got one
- 24:08for the clean sheet. Yeah, but yeah, so I think he's
- 24:10interesting. They have another, they had
- 24:12another signing too, another attacking signing from from West
- 24:15Ham. Blank out his name right now.
- 24:16And then they had that Masanga as well.
- 24:18I think he's more of an offender though.
- 24:21Gangly White Boy Summer is officially over with.
- 24:23It's no longer going to be Sue Check and KWP in there.
- 24:28Nope. And then Pequeta, that was kind
- 24:30of interesting where there was a lot of rumors of him to Villa,
- 24:32but obviously didn't materialize.
- 24:34No. And he made that clear it wasn't
- 24:35going to materialize with his girl celebration.
- 24:38Yeah, on the weekend. Yeah.
- 24:42OK. What about Kevin de Fulham?
- 24:44Tico. I all I know about him is he,
- 24:47he's coming from Shark Star, Shark Star and Ukraine.
- 24:50That's the same league that had William Diego Costa, like all
- 24:55those Brazilians when they were like Hendrick Mukhtaran was
- 24:57there. So they buy a lot of Brazilians
- 24:59and some of them eventually make it to Europe.
- 25:01I love one named Brazilians, but not Kevin.
- 25:04Like give me like a Ronaldino, like a Gaga.
- 25:07Not not a Fred or a Kevin. Kevin's, Kevin's like, funny.
- 25:12It's like so weird that it's like kind of funny of an Ant.
- 25:14Dude so. Like I run it.
- 25:16Remember that? When was it the World Cup that
- 25:18their striker was Fred? Yeah.
- 25:21And then, like I, I saw an interview where it was like, my
- 25:23name is not pronounced Fred. It's like fresh something,
- 25:25something. I was like, get the hell out of
- 25:27here. You're it says Fred.
- 25:28You're Fred. Well, that's, that's not right,
- 25:31is it? Because like, it was like with
- 25:32James, if my name's not James, it's Hamas Rodriguez.
- 25:37But, you know, like, sometimes they have those, like, squiggly
- 25:39little things on top of the letters.
- 25:40His was spelled Fred. OK, Yeah.
- 25:42Fred, that's weird. Yeah.
- 25:44OK. What about what about Sam?
- 25:46Samuel, Chuck Wisey, who's also Chuck Wisey, who went to full of
- 25:50as well from AC Milan. He was a pretty promising young
- 25:54guy. He actually was pretty good
- 25:55before his injury. I haven't seen him play.
- 25:56That much since then? So I, I think both those guys
- 26:00are interesting though, and I think that especially if you're
- 26:03already low on fab or if you want to like what anger said,
- 26:05like spread it around, those are some interesting guys to take
- 26:08stabs at. Also, Fulham has always had
- 26:11wingers that produce points like that, midfielders they've.
- 26:15Midfielders, yeah, not wingers. Part I mean William.
- 26:20Yeah. I mean, I will be, I will be
- 26:21some interest Ally too. So it is interesting.
- 26:24I think there's some, some, some in there.
- 26:27Do we care about Tyler Dibbling to Everton?
- 26:29I think to me that just is. It's just more Dwight McNeil
- 26:32just gets further pushed down. That's.
- 26:33Why? I think so too.
- 26:34But I also don't think that he gets too much playing time.
- 26:36He plays on the left. Donnie Greece, she's there now.
- 26:40And the way Greece got 4 assists, he ain't going nowhere
- 26:43for a while. Yeah, I agree.
- 26:45Yeah, I mean, really, she isn't going anywhere.
- 26:47Really, she isn't going anywhere and Die isn't going anywhere.
- 26:51I think there's maybe one spot available that's kind of, you
- 26:54know, that like there's like 4 guys that are vying for that one
- 26:57other position like Alcoraz McNeil.
- 27:00Yeah, it's not this, but Evan look good man, honestly so.
- 27:04Yeah, but they played, they their, their schedules were
- 27:06pretty easy to start the season. Even the first game they lost
- 27:09was a game they should have won. But it's, I think it was, it's
- 27:11what was it like Leeds, Brighton, West Ham or something?
- 27:15Sorry man C just lost to Bryan so.
- 27:18I'm just saying, yeah, you know, Brian, you know, Brian's one of
- 27:20those teams that's they're very like full of me where they can.
- 27:22They can be hot one day and full of me by the next.
- 27:25Full of me, they. Lost the leads?
- 27:28Yeah, they lost the. Leads.
- 27:29No, they lost the leads. They beat Brighton.
- 27:33And wolves. And.
- 27:33And wolves, yeah, OK, Now do we want to.
- 27:36I feel like we have recaps from the last week and we should talk
- 27:41about it a little bit, but I want to just blow through these
- 27:43because really like, I don't know to know more about
- 27:47transfers and we have some high solo that we're going to talk
- 27:50about. Chelsea versus Fulham job.
- 27:52Pedro scored again, Liam Dilap injured.
- 27:54And so I think the Liam Dilap injured, I think you can pretty
- 27:57much like drop him. Yeah, I think he's dropable now,
- 28:00yeah. Pedro did that.
- 28:03Pedro did that. I yeah, I think once Cole Palmer
- 28:06gets healthy I think Dilap was also going to like be dropped
- 28:09any wenched yeah yeah yeah. The way Pedro did it in the
- 28:12sense that he's been playing so amazingly that there's.
- 28:15Yeah, Dilap is now. Yeah, yeah, Pedro was actually
- 28:18looking like a good return on that second round value.
- 28:20I was kind of feeling like that was starting to get too high up
- 28:22for him. But he's he's showing that that
- 28:24was people that took a risk and. Him are very happy he's he's got
- 28:27tearing up right now so let's. Sergey right now.
- 28:29Sergey slapped me right before. He stopped you.
- 28:33He sniped me. I was going to snap you on the
- 28:35second he got it. He was right before me.
- 28:37OK, SMR got the start again. Maybe not as exciting of a start
- 28:41for him, but he's also 18. Yeah, Keith, you watch the game.
- 28:46The game. How did he look?
- 28:47Did he play well or was it just like fantasy wise he was bad?
- 28:49Passes the eye test. He has moments.
- 28:52I think it's I think it's hard to, you know, I think for a kid
- 28:55that young to be, to expect him to be like on every single game
- 28:58is tough. I think there's definitely like
- 29:00little moments where he looks really good or when he's when he
- 29:02gets the ball in space and can run on.
- 29:04I think everyone's terrified and he comes.
- 29:05Back for it too. He's not just sitting up front.
- 29:08He's coming back. All the way back.
- 29:09Yeah, One name Brazilian. I think the issue is that
- 29:12especially like if he continues to play game, teams are going to
- 29:16know they can't just give him space to turn like that.
- 29:18And it's, and they are already doing that a little bit in the
- 29:20last game. So it's only going to be more.
- 29:22It's like he's going to have to figure out those spaces.
- 29:24But what I like about him too is that he he knows when to slow
- 29:27the ball down and when to speed it up and which I which I think
- 29:30is a really good skill to know it like what, 1918?
- 29:33I don't. I think he's a lot better at
- 29:35this age than Vinicius was at this age.
- 29:38Yeah, I think that's fair. Yeah, I think it's really
- 29:41exciting. I think it's just we'll see if
- 29:43the Premier League is a good league to, like, grow in when
- 29:45you're that skillful and like, young and slim, you know what I
- 29:49mean? OK.
- 29:51Enzo Fernandez can't be stopped, had a golden assists, took the
- 29:55penalty. I was shocked that he took the
- 29:56penalty off to Al Pedro. I thought that was definitely
- 29:59going to be Al Pedro's. But Enzo Fernandez pulled the
- 30:01captain card on him and finished.
- 30:02It looked good. He had 9.75 ghost points, so
- 30:06there was concerns about ghosting, which are fair.
- 30:08I will say though, I did not love the way he played.
- 30:11I didn't think he looked great. Even though he got an assist off
- 30:13a corner, he got a penalty and he had 9.75 ghosts.
- 30:16At the end of the day, I was like not loving that and like as
- 30:19someone who owns him in one league, I might be looking as as
- 30:22like a trade target. I.
- 30:25Like their producers. He just produces points when he,
- 30:27when he, whenever he needs to. I like their producers, yeah.
- 30:30But I'm saying that the the points were kind of
- 30:31circumstantial is what I'm saying.
- 30:33But if he's taking corners, I mean that is offered value, you
- 30:36know? I wouldn't Cole Palmer take
- 30:39corners when he comes back? Maybe not from that side.
- 30:41Cole Palmer probably take corners from the other side.
- 30:43Yeah. Because as the finance is right
- 30:45footed. Yeah.
- 30:48I, I just had something to concern on.
- 30:49I think there's like, I think some people are going to feel
- 30:51reassured and. And I'm just saying that I still
- 30:54am a little concerned from Enza. And we'll see what he looks like
- 30:58after he flies to South America this week, this week and then
- 31:01comes back. You know what I mean?
- 31:03Like my my, my Chelsea chat, they were saying that he he
- 31:07looked like he was playing with Timberlands on.
- 31:08Oh my. God just hopefully, just
- 31:10hopefully he comes back to South America with his mouth shut this
- 31:13time. So.
- 31:14Yeah, OK Trevor Chaliba, 25.75 points #1 ranked player.
- 31:19He had a goal, yeah. I mean, he's looked really
- 31:21great. It's amazing.
- 31:22He's had an amazing kind of like arc of his career.
- 31:24And I think with Coldwell injury, he's locked in to start
- 31:29every game. Every like every game.
- 31:30Yeah, so great. I don't know what else you can
- 31:33say there. I mean, he's probably going to
- 31:34be on a lot of waivers still. He's a good one.
- 31:37Muniz gets to start over all Jimenez.
- 31:39That situation is becoming a headache If you own them, if I
- 31:42if I own both of them, I'm probably holding on to them as
- 31:44MU as comfortable as NHP Felix, You just don't know who's going
- 31:47to get to start next because Muniz didn't look particularly
- 31:49good when he when he was on. Do you know?
- 31:51I think he did a few nice things, but like at the end of
- 31:53the day it was just a little quiet.
- 31:54You think Raul with Jimenez starts the next game?
- 31:57I mean, at this point they've they've alternated each game, so
- 32:00yeah. Yeah, they alternate.
- 32:01No, no, they didn't alternate. Ronald got the first two starts,
- 32:03but I mean he's got the last one.
- 32:05But yeah, either way, I think they played the hot hand on
- 32:06whoever's calling bench. I mean, they don't give him a
- 32:08chance to come back. Yeah, Anthony Robinson played
- 32:12off the bench. I think this is the second game
- 32:13in the row he subbed in and played off the bench.
- 32:14I think that's just a matter of him just getting his his minutes
- 32:17fitness. It's all about if he can produce
- 32:19what he did last season in less games and less time.
- 32:22Yeah, Man United versus Burnley. Man, what a game.
- 32:25What a what a painful game. Can I just say the way Dallo and
- 32:30Bruno Fernandez were acting at the end of that game when they
- 32:33got like that goal kick of wherever the fuck it was and how
- 32:36they acted was so ridiculous. It's Burnley lads, it's Burnley.
- 32:42Who did they just lose to? Grisby Tell.
- 32:46Grimsby Town. Compare them to Brilly, it's
- 32:48such a huge like. The ref so Bruno got another PK
- 32:51to win it and because the ref didn't bump him he was able to
- 32:54stands at his own head and secure it.
- 32:57Who you got injured and Kobe Manuel is going to stay now.
- 33:00So the the Kunia news is a big, big blow.
- 33:03I wonder if that means that Bruno gets pushed up into the
- 33:0610s. I wonder if that means that
- 33:07mount just starts now it's going to stop Cesco.
- 33:10So I think people who picked up Mount last week off waivers like
- 33:12we were shouting that might be that would be a good.
- 33:15Thing mount's been, mount's been starting, so yeah.
- 33:17But now Kunia, definitely, he's injured for what, four to six
- 33:21weeks with a hammy he's. I guess the question, but Mount
- 33:24got a little injury too. He came off, he's got through an
- 33:27injury so as well. So that's, I mean, sure.
- 33:30Amounts a matter of time before he gets hurt.
- 33:32So then then then we're talking about like Xerxe.
- 33:34I know he came on instead of Cesco.
- 33:37Yeah, which is I'm sure that was infuriating as a Man United
- 33:39fancy and as A and as a Cesco owner, have you?
- 33:43There's a double, double rage. Have you guys seen all the I'm
- 33:45pretty. Sure, even Xerxe was upset about
- 33:47that. I'm sure.
- 33:48Have you seen all the memes of Amerim after that Grimsby game?
- 33:51Like playing chess? Monopoly.
- 33:54I saw that. I saw that when they cut to,
- 33:56when they cut to him on the on the television, I literally I
- 33:59saw that I was like, that's going to be me in 10 minutes.
- 34:01Like I just knew immediately when they cut to him doing that,
- 34:03like playing with his chalkboard.
- 34:04God so. Bad.
- 34:05But you know what, they got the win.
- 34:07Ameren lives another week. We'll see what happens in the
- 34:09international break. Yeah, Cesco concerns.
- 34:12I would be concerned if he's not starting after the international
- 34:14breaks. I think after those games I'm
- 34:17going to be start, I'm going to be start being concerned about.
- 34:19Does he just not train well? Is that what it is he's not
- 34:21doing? No, I think he's just getting
- 34:23put up, brought up to speed. But like you're being brought up
- 34:25to speed in a war zone, like you're getting brought up to
- 34:28speed in the middle of a blender.
- 34:29You know what I mean? Yeah, maybe let me catch you up
- 34:31while this whole the. Whole house is falling out.
- 34:32It still doesn't make no sense to me.
- 34:33Yes, because his game plan is so complex.
- 34:36The style is so complex, it takes some time.
- 34:39Yeah, hey Sesu, get the ball, pass it back to the defender so
- 34:41they could pass the side to side some more.
- 34:44OK, next game, Sunderland Brentford Igor scored a goal,
- 34:48had a nice little header that bounced off the top of the post.
- 34:50Wisa is officially no longer a Sunderland, A Brentford player.
- 34:54Robin Rolfs, center than Yoki might be goalkeeper, might be a
- 34:57viable option. Have you?
- 35:00What about Brandon Zaka? Are we feeling good about Zaka?
- 35:03I think this is just a flash in the pan man.
- 35:05You think so? Yeah, I think it's a flash in
- 35:07the pan, like is he going to produce points here and there
- 35:10and throughout the season? Yeah, but it's not going to be
- 35:13consistent. I don't think he's going to be
- 35:15like a Alfie Dali that's going to get you points week in, week
- 35:17out. Yeah, one of those that's.
- 35:20Not fair enough. The Robin guy, the goalkeeper 15
- 35:23points, 17 points, 75 points and negative points 75 points.
- 35:27He gets a lot of saves and a lot.
- 35:29Like the negative, the negative is what you're going to run
- 35:31yourself into occasionally with these primitive teams.
- 35:33The funny thing, the negative was against Burnley.
- 35:36Oh yeah. But they what they lose, they
- 35:37lose 2020. Yeah, yeah.
- 35:40Well, they won't go to two games so.
- 35:42Next game, Tottenham versus Bournemouth.
- 35:44Tottenham only had one shot on goal and thoughts.
- 35:47It wasn't just we just had one shot on goal.
- 35:49That first shot on goal didn't come until like the 65th minute.
- 35:53Like honestly, we look terrible. Something look don't look bad.
- 35:56Bournemouth look good. That's first and foremost.
- 35:58It wasn't like they scored. We doing Sergey.
- 36:01It's not like this. It's not like they scored a goal
- 36:04early and then sat back the whole game.
- 36:05They constantly just kept attacking.
- 36:07We had a spur in the 1st 7 minutes and then off, I mean in
- 36:11the first 3 minutes and then after that it was all
- 36:13Bournemouth. Yep, a little bit of a lucky
- 36:16goal from Evan Nielsen, but he's he's looked solid I think in the
- 36:19last two games after being a little nervy the first game
- 36:22scoring like almost 0, but so that's good.
- 36:25I think you know you're anti Simeno first game without a goal
- 36:28contribution, but you're still not mad about 8.5 ghosts.
- 36:30You're going to have games like that.
- 36:33I thought shoofer looked really good.
- 36:35I think it's 60 point, 16.5 points.
- 36:37We've been talking about him. Came on to off the bench.
- 36:40Yeah, so Nessie's like one of the top ranked players in the
- 36:43league right now. I think he's he's kind of
- 36:45rolling. I think Samania was the player I
- 36:48was most strong gun before the draft.
- 36:51Yeah. What do we think about any any
- 36:53Tottenham things? I think that that team is going
- 36:55to have a facelift after after Kola Moani and well, Zabi
- 36:58Simmons so. I think Zabi Simmons is a
- 37:01creative player that's going to give him a lot of freedom.
- 37:03Kudus was this probably the first game I've seen him play
- 37:07for Tottenham where I wasn't well, I wasn't not impressed,
- 37:10but it just wasn't as good as his first couple games.
- 37:11But if you give him some space on run plays, I like Jed Spence
- 37:16on the right when I like Poro, funny enough, but I didn't like
- 37:19Destiny Udoggi on the left at all.
- 37:23Is it alarming for Poro owners that he got?
- 37:27No, I think it was a game to pull off Udoggi.
- 37:30I think Poro's game torn up by frigging Semenyo on the Left
- 37:34Hand side all day. He put Jed Spence there.
- 37:36Sharp Semenyo. No one.
- 37:37No one dribbled last year. Nobody.
- 37:39Portnemouth has a new striker, this guy ALDI.
- 37:41We'll see if he gets some time, that'll be interesting.
- 37:43Well, Evan Nielsen just scored a goal, so he's giving himself
- 37:45some time. Oh yeah, I think it more be like
- 37:47he comes off one of the other sides or something.
- 37:49Yeah, but yeah, OK, Wilsers Everton a lot here is Greelish
- 37:52back back-to-back games with two assists and doing it with Ghosts
- 37:55as well. He has like a Dewsbury Hall at a
- 37:57monster game. Dewsbury Hall looked like
- 37:59Leicester City, Dewsbury Hall not like Chelsea.
- 38:01Dewsbury Hall well. Because he because he played
- 38:03football. Yeah.
- 38:05That's the big difference. He got to play.
- 38:08Dwight McNeil, it's nice knowing you.
- 38:10I think he's officially. He's dropping ball.
- 38:12I really think he's dropped ball.
- 38:13I really do. I dropped him, I picked up
- 38:15Dewsbury Hall. He's played every minute of
- 38:16every game. Slam with the pace.
- 38:19No, in the different leagues. Oh, different leagues, OK.
- 38:23Larson was was quote UN quote injured.
- 38:25They said it was an injury. Wong Hee Chan got the start and
- 38:29got a goal. I don't think Larson was
- 38:32actually injured though. Sorry, actually, I'm not going
- 38:34to put your Dick joke in that. He fucking just said.
- 38:40It though everyone knows there's a Dick joke and you're not going
- 38:42to say it. Yeah, OK.
- 38:43Wong Hee Chan got start, got a start and penetrated the goal.
- 38:46There you go. OK, it's Courtney.
- 38:50OK Larson. I don't think it was a real
- 38:51injury. I think he was holding out
- 38:53because he thought he might get. A Newcastle.
- 38:55Or, sorry, Newcastle, Yes. So I think anyone who dropped
- 38:59Larson should be, should be very upset.
- 39:03Yeah, you should pick him up. I'm not a sad.
- 39:06All right, well. Sounds like a shot at me, yeah.
- 39:10'Cause he dropped. OK, whatever.
- 39:13Leeds versus Newcastle news. Fest move on.
- 39:15I think formationally that did not work for Newcastle at all.
- 39:18I thought Leeds actually looked pretty good against them and
- 39:21they played like a 352 with with what was it who was up top?
- 39:25But it was odd. It was that Osoula guy and
- 39:28Murphy playing too. It looked, it didn't, it didn't
- 39:30work. I expect them to go back to a
- 39:33back four. Yeah, it was.
- 39:34It was after the break. Newcastle wasn't this right with
- 39:38the Isaac? Fucked them bro, like messed
- 39:40them up. But, you know, they got 2
- 39:42strikers, they paid, they overpaid for both of them, but
- 39:44they have them in the door and they're just going to have to
- 39:46deal with it, you know. And I think, I think that's, I
- 39:49think that's going to give their attack up on a focal point.
- 39:52I think it's going to make all the attack, the attacking
- 39:54players look better. Yeah, I think, you know, so I
- 39:56think that's good. Brighton versus City, Holland
- 40:00scores and then Brighton kind of takes over.
- 40:03James Milner becomes the oldest player to score PK.
- 40:05Not really fantasy relevant, but pretty cool.
- 40:07Yeah. Roger started this game and they
- 40:09lost, which almost never happened.
- 40:11Never happens. So is this is this the question?
- 40:14Is this the worst pet team you've ever seen?
- 40:17No, I thought last year was worse.
- 40:19I think they'll be fine. They seem to figure it out.
- 40:20They're. Just young and there's he's got
- 40:22so many class players. Oh Ticos he lo he.
- 40:25Anything to jump on pips. Go on.
- 40:28Last year seems was not worse. Last year seems had a lot of
- 40:30injuries. They lost Rodri, they lost KDB,
- 40:33it was not worse. This seems fully healthy.
- 40:35This seems just not as good the way not on that.
- 40:40I don't know if you guys watched the game when the substitute
- 40:43Brighton made 4 Subs at the same time.
- 40:45Afterwards they dominate. Like Pep had no answers.
- 40:47And I feel like the players, everyone is very young.
- 40:50And I know you're saying the players are young.
- 40:52Yeah, that's part of being a good team or a bad team.
- 40:53There is no balance. Who's the veteran that they're
- 40:56going to turn to if something comes off, like in the attacking
- 40:58side of it? How long is their striker?
- 41:00He's just in the box the whole time.
- 41:02Don't they have Bernardo Silva? They do, but they also Gnulan
- 41:06just left Gnulan left in the transfer window.
- 41:09Yeah. So I, I think that's a valid
- 41:11point. Tico I like I see I it's too
- 41:14small of a sample size for me to be like too dramatic this.
- 41:16Is like this is the worst thing. Yeah, like.
- 41:19I mean, I the, the guys managed amazing teams like so it's not
- 41:24like I, I think. At the end of the day though,
- 41:25like he even last year when he had all those injuries, he kind
- 41:28of was able to figure it out. And but second-half of the
- 41:30season they had like they had like the best record of any team
- 41:33in the second-half of the season after he figured it out.
- 41:35So I think for him it's about like he has all the pieces and
- 41:37he just needs to figure out how to bake the cake.
- 41:39OK, so let me rephrase this question.
- 41:41When was the last time a year started that you thought the PEV
- 41:44team was not in running for to win the championship?
- 41:47There's never been a year I thought they weren't in the
- 41:49running and even. But right now I think I still
- 41:51think they're running. Yeah.
- 41:52You guys. So you guys think he has a
- 41:54legitimate chance to win the premiership this year?
- 41:56Yes. Yeah, absolutely.
- 41:57OK, Pep Guardiola. Put some respect on his name.
- 42:01I will not. OK, so Holland got the goal.
- 42:04He had 17 points, Omar Mousse 15 points.
- 42:06James Trafford was the third highest scoring player with
- 42:0811.25. He gave me the highest player
- 42:10ever again. I know Matteis Nunez was fine
- 42:13with seven. This was his first start.
- 42:15Rico Lewis did not. They're not going to start
- 42:18rinder 6.75 after that big fat 0.
- 42:21Is that a little bit of a relief?
- 42:22It wasn't obviously the game. Yeah, you're not Hope.
- 42:24Yeah, there's a little bit of relief.
- 42:25It's better than nothing. I don't think he's going to be a
- 42:28good fantasy player. I've said this.
- 42:30I know you've said it before. I hear you.
- 42:31I think he's, I think he's going to be like a 7-8 point Ghoster.
- 42:36And then with the occasional upside thing, I don't think he's
- 42:39going to be like a yeah, which is we'll see how it happens.
- 42:42But yeah, I kind of, I, I think this is kind of where he was
- 42:45going in drafts in that like what, 6 seventh rounds.
- 42:48Yeah. I mean, either the only reason I
- 42:50got Rangers in my league is because I also, I got Savio.
- 42:53So I was like, oh, like I feel like either they're going to
- 42:55play with wide players or they're going to play with a
- 42:56bunch of like mid center mids. And so I was like, either way
- 42:59I'll have one of them, but. And Savio, who is obviously
- 43:02staying, so we would expect them to be in the rotation after the
- 43:05international break. Yeah, let's hope so.
- 43:07I mean, I, I hope that he didn't like burn any bridges with Pap
- 43:10or anything because that that would be a concern.
- 43:11But like, I was really grateful that he didn't have like a last
- 43:14minute transfer day deal to like Marseille or something, you
- 43:17know, so at least he's there. So yeah, I mean, they, they, I,
- 43:22I think they value him. Like they, they, they, they
- 43:24wanted a lot of money for him and the replacement they were
- 43:26going to, the only reason they didn't sell him is because the
- 43:29replacement they wanted was like Rodrigo, you know what I mean?
- 43:32Like. 100 million, yeah. That's him through these boys.
- 43:37OK, West Ham versus Forest. West Ham showed fight.
- 43:40I I said this last. I called this last week.
- 43:42I said this is the week for West Ham.
- 43:44Fuck. Did did I not do that?
- 43:45Yeah, I should do that. Fuck I I should have made that
- 43:47my big gamble pick. I can't believe I can't believe
- 43:50I want the safe like boring city one.
- 43:52I'm not surprised that you did, but yeah.
- 43:53Yeah, that's that's actually pretty classic me.
- 43:55Bowen comes to life played off the left like we've been talking
- 43:58about and we were just rewarded. I thought everyone looked good.
- 44:02I mean, I talked about Fernandez on the other side look good.
- 44:05I think Piqueta scored a goal. I mean, is is with him, you
- 44:10know, is there anything else really there?
- 44:13Do we want to talk about West Forest?
- 44:14Just look. Kind of.
- 44:15Blair. Limp.
- 44:16Yeah. But nothing to be worried about,
- 44:21Papios. Yeah, I mean, I think, I think
- 44:23it's just one of those things, Yeah, I think, I think in the
- 44:25Premier League, any team can beat any team.
- 44:26And when a team is as a backup against a wall after a few bad
- 44:28performances, they're gonna get, yeah, they're gonna get hit.
- 44:33But I think as a as a as a bone owner, you're very excited.
- 44:36You're very relieved. OK, next game, Liverpool Arsenal
- 44:39list the snooze fest of the century until the goal and then
- 44:42that. That made that one moment.
- 44:44Made sitting through that for 90 minutes worth it.
- 44:46Well, yeah, but again, also I'm worried about also for one thing
- 44:50and one thing only, the injuries that they're starting to occur.
- 44:52Yeah, so Levi got injured in the 1st 10 minutes, came off not a
- 44:55good, not a great start. No Yorker as what we need that
- 44:59we need to see him do it against a good team.
- 45:00Yep, he did seem to do it. Against too many hair flicks,
- 45:04this game too many. We're back on the hair flick
- 45:06chain, no shot on goal. That's obviously alarming, but I
- 45:10think that Arsenal was they didn't said it was very
- 45:14negative, like his formation was really negative.
- 45:16Not having essay in there, like having that midfield was just
- 45:19such a negative midfield to me. No sub Madhavecke gets the start
- 45:22and doesn't do much but 3.5 points.
- 45:25He's a little bit of an underwhelming saying.
- 45:27And then would that make sense with?
- 45:28Giocarizno getting a Sean call because he wasn't getting any
- 45:31service from the outside from Marinelli or Madhavecke.
- 45:34He was getting no service. Yeah, I mean, what?
- 45:37Martinelli didn't do do anything either.
- 45:39So they're both kind of, you know, useless.
- 45:41Cal Fiori, 6 points What? Finally, finally human
- 45:44performance from him. As to what's expected, what's
- 45:46going to happen most of this season?
- 45:48And then do you want to do this most solid it never ever do
- 45:50this. Most Sala more like no Sala. 0
- 45:54points. 16 points. 75 ghost points year to date.
- 45:57Ouch. Has he?
- 45:58Did he do that once last year? Nope.
- 46:00Zero points. No, no, no, no.
- 46:01He was under great management. Oh.
- 46:05Man, that's that's I mean. But then we say this, he said.
- 46:09With all these attacking option, we think he's going to have
- 46:11games where he's not going to have to do too much. 0 though.
- 46:1500 is a big thing, but. Zero is concerning with all
- 46:18these new pieces that like he's not as involved, you know what I
- 46:21mean? Like that's like that's even
- 46:22scary thing. Even the first game he wasn't
- 46:24producing, he just had a garbage time goal that kind of.
- 46:27I mean, it's true. I mean, I think, I think I'm I'm
- 46:29kind of sounding the alarm a little bit.
- 46:31Most I think like he'll be like he's not going to be like he's
- 46:34not going to be like a zero player like that.
- 46:36This is probably going to be an anomaly, but I think there's, I
- 46:38think the the days of that whole team revolving around him are
- 46:42kind of they're starting to transition him out a.
- 46:43Little bit, but the the days of him guaranteeing to put up at
- 46:46least 10 fantasy points are done.
- 46:49Yes, I think so. OK.
- 46:50What about Florian Wart's injury?
- 46:52Are we concerned about that? Yeah.
- 46:54He came off and what that he came off late.
- 46:55He came off late, but I don't think it didn't look too
- 46:57serious. I'm still worried that he hasn't
- 47:01gone used to the speed of the game.
- 47:03Like you can see that he's got class, he's a classy player, but
- 47:07he gives away the ball too much. He hasn't got used to the speed
- 47:09of the game. Like he's going to get
- 47:11opportunities. He's going to at some point.
- 47:13He's got a click, but. Is he a bi low candidate?
- 47:16Dude, he's a first round pick. I he's he's only he, he's only
- 47:20going to trajectory. He's only.
- 47:21Pointing up you think it's only up he can only get better.
- 47:24Yeah. OK, So then what about with this
- 47:28ESAC news? Are you really bummed as AI
- 47:30think Gakpo and Ekatika are the two biggest losers from the ESAC
- 47:32news? Yeah.
- 47:33Yeah, because unfortunately Ekatika has been performing very
- 47:37well and now this ESAC moves that he spent 130 million on,
- 47:42there's like still probably obliged to.
- 47:45Yeah. And then Gagpo, is Gagpo going
- 47:47to get pushed out and then Ekatika play off the left?
- 47:50Is that his best position? Yeah.
- 47:53So there's a lot of yeah. It's also going to help.
- 47:55I think words is going to be the most beneficial from the ESOC
- 47:58signing I. Don't think so I.
- 48:00Think he's just going to have more space?
- 48:02Yeah, I actually, I think that's actually not a bad job, but OK,
- 48:06OK, Last thing, Sloba slash score to Bangam a free set, free
- 48:09set piece that Tico's is the best RB in the world.
- 48:13Yeah. Is that?
- 48:14I mean, no, but it's funny, Yeah.
- 48:18How do you bench this guy? Like how do you bench it you.
- 48:21Weren't even going to pick him up.
- 48:23Me and Enzo were kind of saying that we didn't think he was the
- 48:25where he was going to be the odd man out, but it's it's looking
- 48:27harder to he is. He was so involved in that goal
- 48:30for the game winner last week too.
- 48:31He's going to be the old man now.
- 48:33He's only playing right now because of injuries.
- 48:35But ends with the defensive workerate.
- 48:37He's putting the energy he has and what he brings to the team.
- 48:40I would bench Gravanbridge. I would not bench.
- 48:43Gravanbridge. But he Gravanbridge does very
- 48:45different things to him, you know what I mean?
- 48:46He's like that holding midfielder that slip his lays
- 48:48in, so beside is like that eight where he just has the energy to
- 48:50go up and down the field. But yeah, maybe, maybe
- 48:52McAllister, I don't know. I mean, we'll see.
- 48:54I mean it's also like Arnie Slot might just change his formation
- 48:56and accommodate all three. Home alone is not getting off
- 48:59the pitch. He's he's.
- 49:00Starting if he wasn't maybe for Frimpang gets benched.
- 49:03Oh fuck, that'd be kind of crazy that'd.
- 49:05Be kind of nuts. OK, is this the last game?
- 49:07Jeez, thank God. Aston Villa versus Crystal
- 49:09Palace. No as a no problem.
- 49:11Mattana gets it done. Got that?
- 49:13It was a it was APK. And he did the.
- 49:16House offenders. He did the as a celebration
- 49:19offers. Yeah, that's cool.
- 49:22I mean, I think they're just like paying.
- 49:23No, that was, that was trippy. It wasn't like a piss tag.
- 49:25It was trippy to. Him.
- 49:26What are you confused by? You want to read it?
- 49:29I don't want to. I don't want to read it.
- 49:30Pass offends are a cosman. What does that mean?
- 49:34There's such the other way of saying studs.
- 49:36They perform. All 5 defenders had double digit
- 49:38games for the second time. Yeah.
- 49:41It's true, yeah. It's all game from them across
- 49:44the board. I mean, Chris Richards, Lacroix
- 49:46were both P guys that we really liked in the offseason.
- 49:49And then obviously Muniz is Muniz.
- 49:50I think he had what, like almost like 9 ghost points and then the
- 49:53clean sheath. Yeah, which you'd love to see.
- 49:56Aston Villa, we talked about it hasn't scored a goal in any of
- 49:59their three games. It's alarming.
- 50:02And Ollie Walkins had a few good opportunities.
- 50:04You probably should have put one away.
- 50:05I think that's a matter of time. I think these new signings are
- 50:07only going to poster. You hope it's you hope it
- 50:10freshens them up because this as a Villa team maybe something.
- 50:13Shine the manager. They're tired.
- 50:16I don't know if in three games they've only had four players
- 50:19that scored in double digits and all four have been defenders or
- 50:22goalkeeper. Wow, that's crazy.
- 50:24Yeah. And I think the other thing,
- 50:27yeah, I mean, it's just Village is not the a great scoring team,
- 50:30unless you name Zoe Watkins and just the between the rotation
- 50:32and this stuff, it's just tough. It's like so boom or bust.
- 50:36You know, you look at Morgan Rogers last year and it was like
- 50:38these games where he would have be amazing or these games where
- 50:40he would score like 0. So it's it's a little alarming.
- 50:45OK, Those are the games we've talked about Zombie Simmons.
- 50:48The other name I want to shout out was West Ham.
- 50:51For West Ham, Somerville is back healthy.
- 50:53He was a player that was kind of like we were poking around at
- 50:56the end of at the end of drafts last season, but then because he
- 51:00didn't start the first few games, he's a lot of waivers,
- 51:0315% owned. I think when everyone's
- 51:05clamoring for those new fresh new faces, if you're someone
- 51:08that doesn't have a lot of fab or you're low on priority, I
- 51:11think Somerville might be a really interesting 1.
- 51:13You know, for West Ham, just a shot.
- 51:15All right, last two sections, overreactions, underreactions.
- 51:19First one we kind of talked about it, but most solid will be
- 51:21a bust. I don't.
- 51:22Think he's going to be a bust? I think he could bust for his
- 51:25ADP. I think he'd end up being a top
- 51:28like he could end up being like the the 20th ranked player as
- 51:31opposed to like the top five. So that'll be that'll be a bust,
- 51:34right? Suppose you would African Cup,
- 51:37so I don't think he'll probably be finishing the top 15 total
- 51:39points. I think it's, I think that's a
- 51:42possibility. And like, I don't know if I
- 51:43would have believed that that was the case.
- 51:45I still think he's going to. Get before the season.
- 51:47Really. Yeah.
- 51:49Do you think they'll? I just think that he they need
- 51:53to get him the ball more and he just wasn't, he's just not
- 51:56getting the ball out on that side as much and they and it
- 51:58seemed like when he did because he wasn't getting the ball as
- 52:00much, I felt like he was forcing it when he did.
- 52:02This is going to be a liberal team that's going to be
- 52:04dominating majority of the games they play.
- 52:06He's going to be part of it. They're banging in goals.
- 52:08You don't think he's going to be part of it like this is a bad
- 52:10game, but he he got zero points. But there's going to be games
- 52:13where he could bang in 2-3, maybe even four goals, knowing
- 52:16him the way he plays, because once he once he lies on fire,
- 52:20he's off. So let let's look at the
- 52:23difference from this year and last year.
- 52:25If last year Liverpool won a game, let's say 40, there's no
- 52:30way that Salah was not involved somehow.
- 52:32Whether it was the sister goal. This year I could picture them
- 52:35winning a goal for game 40 and Sala not have any goal
- 52:38contributions. Yeah, OK, here's the thing.
- 52:41Liverpool plays Burnley, Everton and Palace the next three games.
- 52:44So I think if in those three games we're not seeing pretty
- 52:48good returns, I think. Then you'd be concerned.
- 52:51You'd be getting very concerned. But I don't see, I don't see it.
- 52:54I don't see, I don't see Salon not getting three to four goal
- 52:59contributions in those three games that.
- 53:01'D be interesting that what do you think the line would be?
- 53:033.5 goal contribution. It's called RSS in those three
- 53:06games. No, it has to be higher.
- 53:08You think it has to be higher than a goal contribution in a
- 53:10game? Yeah.
- 53:11What? One of them.
- 53:12One of them is Burnley. So.
- 53:15He averaged more than one the one goal contribution game last.
- 53:18Year, you just said. Last year's a completely
- 53:20different thing, you idiot. Yeah, but look at look at the
- 53:23competition. You or something else?
- 53:25Man, I I would draw the line at 3 1/2.
- 53:27I would you. Think put 4 1/2.
- 53:29OK, so we're no bet then? I don't think we're we're.
- 53:32Not well. We're also on the same same
- 53:33page, Keith. The bet would be with Enzo.
- 53:36Sure, Enzo, you want to take either of those?
- 53:38You'll take the 3 1/2. Coward.
- 53:42All right, deal sake, 10 bucks. 10 bucks.
- 53:44We're in. OK.
- 53:45Next one, Man United, we're going to run.
- 53:47Oh, wait. Sorry.
- 53:47Next one city. Don't fight for top 4.
- 53:49They're kind of. No, they'll be fine.
- 53:51They'll figure it out. Peppa's a Peppa's a master.
- 53:53You're going to stop doing this biased stuff, Tico.
- 53:57Where do you see past against? Pressure for white people.
- 54:00Tico did the notes this week. I'm sure you can tell, yeah.
- 54:03I mean, I'm going to read this, but then I'm going to reiterate
- 54:05it. OK, First, this next one is Man
- 54:06United will go on a run after demolishing Burnley.
- 54:09Well, unfortunately they did not demolish Burnley.
- 54:11They needed a weak pen to get saved at the end of the game to
- 54:14get the win. So I, I can't, you cannot say
- 54:17that they demolish Burnley. They did not demolish Burnley.
- 54:20What world can you say that? So I watched this game at the
- 54:24end like I think like the 90 something min like like 95th
- 54:27minute really had a set piece and all I could hear was Enzo
- 54:30last week saying I would love to see man you give up a set piece
- 54:34towards that. I was like if this happens then
- 54:36Enzo would predict this correctly.
- 54:37He predicted that Gordon would get a red and Cher would get
- 54:41injured. I was like what is happening?
- 54:43Returning clairvoyant. Yeah, OK, yeah, I I think that
- 54:47menu, I'd still get a community struggle.
- 54:49I think that the issues are with the players fitting into a
- 54:51system and the coach. A key for our bed.
- 54:55After the way City looks, do you feel less confident or nothing
- 54:58changed? What was our bet?
- 55:01Manchester United. Oh, I feel a little less
- 55:03confident. They just need one win in the
- 55:04next two games. It's Chelsea and City.
- 55:06Yeah, I mean, I, I definitely don't feel as great.
- 55:08I I like, yeah, I definitely don't feel as great.
- 55:11But I think we're back to like 5050.
- 55:12Yeah, I don't think. I think it was like you, I
- 55:14thought thought you were ahead after the first game.
- 55:16I thought I was head after the. Second, how many coins do they
- 55:17have? 3.
- 55:18They have 4. 4 So they need if they have two draws I win, but
- 55:22if they get one win in the next two to go OK.
- 55:24Aston Villa and Newcastle struggle scoring goals whole
- 55:26year. Villa, yes.
- 55:29Newcastle. Newcastle, No.
- 55:30Yeah, I think they did enough. They didn't have their chance
- 55:32right now. Yeah, Newcastle brought in
- 55:34reinforcements, so Villa, I think they're going to struggle.
- 55:36I think Villa didn't bring in the right type.
- 55:38No, I don't know. I think they know like and I
- 55:44don't know if it's enough. I don't work for them.
- 55:45Last year, but yeah, worked for them last year.
- 55:47But the last year the players bought have more experience than
- 55:49we're better players. We're bad players.
- 55:51True, True, true, true. OK, last section sell high by
- 55:55low. First one Trevor Chaliba, high
- 55:58scoring player averaging 18.75 points per game.
- 56:02What do you guys think? Sell high, I'd keep him.
- 56:05Absolutely sell high. I think if you can get something
- 56:08for him, you should try. We're going to get him.
- 56:09I don't. Yeah, yeah, it's I think his
- 56:11name, he doesn't quite have the like the the name recognition.
- 56:14And I think defenders are so like fickle.
- 56:16Like if if he was a striker that was averaging 8.75 points after
- 56:19three games and if he was a no name, I think people would jump
- 56:22on it. But I think a defender people
- 56:23are kind of wise to the ways. Correct me if I'm Chelsea's,
- 56:28sorry. Chelsea's had the easiest start
- 56:30of the season schedule, so I think if there is a time to try
- 56:32and shop him, it's not. I would shop him even if you
- 56:35want to get like some fab because obviously if you're
- 56:37going to put 5 ball waivers. Yeah.
- 56:39Even just for Fab, I would try to shop him because defenders
- 56:41you could kind of rotate as well.
- 56:43And again, they had a cupcake schedule to start off with.
- 56:46So let's let's just look at this right.
- 56:49Defenders right now are a high commodity.
- 56:52You've got 1234, you've got four in the top top 10, four
- 56:59defenders in the top 10. That's about par for the course
- 57:02from last year. But the the top ten?
- 57:04Oh, top ten. Yeah, yeah.
- 57:05Yeah, Trevor, Trevor Chalibar, Ricardo Calfiore, Lacroix, and
- 57:09then you've got Jury and Timber. They're all in the top 10.
- 57:13But this is the time where you want to sell high.
- 57:17Yeah. Timber had that like one game.
- 57:18Where he like 30 something points.
- 57:19Defenders this year are tearing up because even if you go past
- 57:23the top ten, there's some high scoring defenders in there.
- 57:26It's very early. It's.
- 57:28Early, I think you're you're a guy where the sample size is
- 57:30small and I think because it you it can skew especially depending
- 57:33on like strength of schedule. It might be a time to jump.
- 57:35I like that one. OK, Ricardo Calfiore, second
- 57:38highest set scoring player, injury prone.
- 57:41See is he a sell high? I I wouldn't I I'd keep him also
- 57:46there's. If someone offered If someone
- 57:48offered you Wamba soccer for Calfiori, would you take it?
- 57:51Yes. No.
- 57:52I would do it in heartbeat. I'd do it in a holiday.
- 57:54I mean, I, I love Calfiori. I'm a biased, yeah.
- 57:57You, you wish you had his hair. OK, keep going.
- 58:01I mean, I just have to not cheer for like a couple of weeks.
- 58:04Doing I would love to see with. Flowing.
- 58:06Do it. With flowing calfiori, he's
- 58:08going to have. Side side show Bob fucking hair.
- 58:14BBC Game. BBC.
- 58:16OK, how about Ali Olli Watkins? Is this a sell or buy low?
- 58:20Averaging 4.29 points per game. I wouldn't missed a few sitters.
- 58:24Not sitters, he had some good opportunities.
- 58:26Been on a down like he had a good season last season but
- 58:29again, it's just that Emery doesn't is not scared of
- 58:32dropping this fucker. I think that the difference is
- 58:34they didn't bring any other strikers in.
- 58:35The frustrating thing with Watkins is he's one of those
- 58:38players, if you have him on your team, like you have to put him
- 58:40in the starting rotation just because of the name value and
- 58:42historically what he's done before.
- 58:44Drop. Capital and I wouldn't want to
- 58:46go through that headache so I wouldn't.
- 58:48By law I'd rather just him being somewhere else had be someone
- 58:51elses problem instead of being my.
- 58:54I think it depends on what you can get for Yeah, I think if
- 58:57you, if there's a guy that's willing to give up like AI was
- 58:59talking to, sorry to bring it up.
- 59:01I was talking to Nate about like Enzo Fernandez because we have
- 59:04Enzo Fernandez and we're like, oh, should we look at trading,
- 59:08see if we can shop Enzo Fernandez for all The Walking
- 59:11right now. Hey Nate, this isn't your show.
- 59:13You should have been mentioned in this show.
- 59:16Keith, next time you talk to Nate, tell Enzo and Dico say
- 59:20fuck you. Yeah.
- 59:21Right there. Oh yeah, I'll stop bringing that
- 59:22up. But like that's the type of deal
- 59:24where I'd be potentially be interested in where Enzo
- 59:25Fernandez, to me it seems like he's over performing and all he,
- 59:29Watkins is under performing. That's, oh, made for you.
- 59:34All right, OK, so Jack Reelish, this was the trade that you
- 59:37know, obviously Tico and I had our little I had our little
- 59:40trade earlier in the week can and I'm betting that it's the
- 59:44question is can he sustain or will he start drinking soon?
- 59:47I'm betting that he's going to just play against tougher teams.
- 59:50I. Think, yeah, but he's always
- 59:52excelled against tougher teams when he's played when he was at
- 59:55Villa. So look, I I think Tico sent it
- 59:58or someone sent it and he he's that good player.
- 1:00:02And you said it before, Keith, too.
- 1:00:04He's a big fish and a little pond.
- 1:00:06He likes that big fish. Small pond, Yeah.
- 1:00:08And he and he does well in those situations because the
- 1:00:11expectation and he and he performs.
- 1:00:14I think he's pulled out. Yeah, I pulled out right now.
- 1:00:17This is what Greeley should supposed to be.
- 1:00:18A cult hero at a mid table club, a maverick that has the trust
- 1:00:21and confidence to create special moments.
- 1:00:23Dying arch type of a footballer, yes.
- 1:00:26So OK, I I agree and I pardon me, like kind of died inside
- 1:00:30when that trade went through. Not so much because it was it
- 1:00:32was a bad deal. Like I think Gordon has more
- 1:00:36value over a season, but it's just because it's such a good
- 1:00:39story and like to be able to root for Greeley should add.
- 1:00:41Everything is such a fun thing and like to me to be like, oh,
- 1:00:44like I'm going to try and get slightly more value with Anthony
- 1:00:46Gordon. I felt like, I feel kind of like
- 1:00:48that was like. But I still don't think it's
- 1:00:50about. Yeah, but I still don't think
- 1:00:51it's about trade. You're right.
- 1:00:52It's just funny the way he did it.
- 1:00:54All right, Yeah. You want to trade him back?
- 1:00:55Honestly, just give me Gordon. Or someone else.
- 1:00:57I don't. I don't.
- 1:00:58I don't want to trade him back. Just actually, I think someone.
- 1:01:00Else what a piece of shit. No, no, no, no, no.
- 1:01:02I think I, I think Greely, I mean, I personally think he's a
- 1:01:06sell high, but I think that sell high needs to be like sacrament
- 1:01:08value. Yeah, I I don't think it's like
- 1:01:09it's like you need to get like a premium premium player like so
- 1:01:13like, and that's going to betray that Tikkun I did like couldn't
- 1:01:15I think Tikkun probably thinks that he's no he.
- 1:01:17Couldn't talking himself into it, You see what he's.
- 1:01:19Doing I mean you think he's going to get 2 assists every
- 1:01:21week? Not every week, but once a
- 1:01:25month. I like this next one, Keith.
- 1:01:28Palace defenders, will they keep it up or will they?
- 1:01:30Palace Shatta, Will it become a glass palace?
- 1:01:35I think with Guay he's staying, they could they could keep going
- 1:01:38now great, he's still there and seeing that he stayed
- 1:01:40professional, which really upset me that he stayed professional,
- 1:01:43didn't get his fucking move. And that that's the worst thing
- 1:01:45that could happen to like the narrative, right?
- 1:01:47He's like, now all all you're seeing is these players that got
- 1:01:51rewarded and the players who were being professional
- 1:01:53potentially got punished. To talk about sports over here,
- 1:01:56that's how MB has been for the past few years.
- 1:01:58If people want to trade, they just create a shed storm and
- 1:02:00they force themselves out. They make an awkward situation
- 1:02:03and if that goes into the like over the pond to the European
- 1:02:06like soccer soccer at least that would suck.
- 1:02:08Yeah, it's already kind of sorry, been doing that.
- 1:02:10It's happened before. But yeah, it's just it sucks.
- 1:02:13I agree. I think that Palace will be
- 1:02:14great. I mean, think about the
- 1:02:15second-half of last season, how how good all the palace
- 1:02:18defenders were and that the fact they've carried into this
- 1:02:20season. I think riches man, like ride it
- 1:02:22riches. Two years ago they had like runs
- 1:02:23where they would go on like this amazing run.
- 1:02:25So Palace defenders and their defence overall has been like
- 1:02:28goalkeeper too have been pretty high performing.
- 1:02:31All right, let's rush through these last two, mate.
- 1:02:33Oh yeah, Lucas Piqueta, sell higher or buy low?
- 1:02:36I mean he's obviously sell high 18.25 and 24.7.
- 1:02:40Five. I can't believe he said he
- 1:02:41sucked. I think he I think he saw, I
- 1:02:43think he sucks. Yeah, I still think he sucks.
- 1:02:46I don't obviously doesn't suck. But I think The thing is like he
- 1:02:49obviously scored a worldly against Chelsea, which is great.
- 1:02:51Then his game against Forrest, not even Forrest, you got it was
- 1:02:56APK Yeah, he had two key passes, two shots on target and like a
- 1:03:00couple like defense, you know, you had like clearances, couple
- 1:03:03dribbles. I don't know.
- 1:03:04I mean, you still had a decent amount of ghost points.
- 1:03:06I just don't know. I just.
- 1:03:07I don't trust. Him I just, I've seen him not do
- 1:03:11it more than I've seen him do. It he's one bit away from gang,
- 1:03:14suspended. If so.
- 1:03:17Where do you think you sell? Where do you think his value
- 1:03:20lies? And you're like, would if
- 1:03:22someone offered you, like if you had Lucas Piquetta and sabered
- 1:03:24off, use Savio for him, would you take that?
- 1:03:26Yeah. No, you keep Piquetta.
- 1:03:29Oh, no, no, I'm sorry. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:03:30I if I'm receiving Savio, yes, yes.
- 1:03:32Yes, Savio. OK.
- 1:03:33So then what about like a Iwobi? No, that's the I think you keep
- 1:03:37it Iwobi there too. I think it maybe it's like a
- 1:03:39shada. I'd.
- 1:03:41Keep Piqueta honestly like I'll get the biggest asset as he
- 1:03:45starts every game that's. Yeah, and he's on and he's on
- 1:03:48pens. But how many pens they're going
- 1:03:49to get? I mean, I don't know.
- 1:03:51But how about if his name was Lucas Paquetino?
- 1:03:54OK, I don't know, Dominique Schlumber, Sly.
- 1:03:56Playing RB last two games will be in rotation once everyone's
- 1:03:59healthy and is that comes. I fig so high.
- 1:04:03I think it's so high. So high.
- 1:04:05You. So that's so high, yeah.
- 1:04:06Yeah, unless he plays right back for the rest of the year that.
- 1:04:09'D be crazy. It's a crazy shout.
- 1:04:13That's a crazy. Show No honestly, even let's say
- 1:04:15even if that were to happen, still still high because he's
- 1:04:17classified as a midfielder, so you're missing out on three
- 1:04:19sheet points. That's true, Yeah.
- 1:04:20Yeah. I mean, he's, he's, I mean, what
- 1:04:24was the score? Not the last game of the game
- 1:04:26before it wasn't good. Wasn't he?
- 1:04:28He was like 2-2. Two points, yeah, I mean, he
- 1:04:32obviously he had that really good little step over, but you
- 1:04:34don't get points for that. Yeah, I mean, that was sexy.
- 1:04:37He had 6 clearances in the last two games combined.
- 1:04:39He has 10 clearances as a defender.
- 1:04:41Yeah, I just think there's not enough value there.
- 1:04:44I think that and I with the risk of rotation, right Tico, like
- 1:04:47just sell if you can, if you can get someone that's excited about
- 1:04:50that goal and thinks that that's going to happen again.
- 1:04:52Like yeah, I'll tell you once a season type banger.
- 1:04:56Yeah, let's do that again. All right.
- 1:04:58Is that it, guys? That's it.
- 1:04:59Let's go. We're going to do an episode
- 1:05:02during the international break. We'll kind of talk about like a
- 1:05:05few other things, maybe some match recaps or some match
- 1:05:09previews and just some some of the fallout from all the
- 1:05:12transfer stuff. I think it's still so hard to
- 1:05:14digest all. Of it.
- 1:05:14Good luck in your your waivers, gentlemen.
- 1:05:17Yeah, do you guys mean the gods favour you and waivers?
- 1:05:20Yeah. Do you guys see how bars up T
- 1:05:21give me the penalty because there was I was down.
- 1:05:24Oh. Yeah, this is this has been
- 1:05:26episode 104 of Dropped Off Sides.

- 1:05:41Will there be justice in La Liga ever or Barcelona always get
- 1:05:43their way? Ridiculous.
