Transcript
- 0:00Hello and welcome to episode 100 and 1171 of Dropped Off Sides.
- 0:05I'm with Tico Enzo. My name is Keith.
- 0:08What should we start with guys? Should we start with the
- 0:10blockbuster trade that happened in our league?
- 0:11Should we start with the recaps? Where?
- 0:13Where do you guys want to? Start today.
- 0:18First of all, Dodger Nation, let's go down here back-to-back.
- 0:21Back-to-back I had apologizing him and to stick to.
- 0:25Baseball. Stick to baseball.
- 0:27That was that was that our very first negative comment we ever
- 0:30got was someone saying. That that was definitely and
- 0:33we're going to we're going to be talking about it for years that.
- 0:37'D be a pretty good thing on a shirt.
- 0:39This is like stick to baseball. Stick to baseball.
- 0:41Yeah, a second I'll, you know, start shot up and dribble.
- 0:44Shot up and dribble, yeah. No where I want us.
- 0:49To trade. Oh, wait.
- 0:53Let's talk about it. So I made a big trade and it's
- 0:57yeah. And it's, it's on.
- 0:59It's, it's I traded just straight up.
- 1:01I've traded solo away for Gabrielle from Arsenal.
- 1:04How did that poll go, by the way?
- 1:07Like 6040 Sala, which is what I thought it would.
- 1:13Yeah, with like, you know, like 3030 plus votes I think.
- 1:15I feel your pain. I feel your pain, Keith.
- 1:17Like you got rid of him and then all of a sudden he starts
- 1:19scoring points. I don't.
- 1:21I mean, dude, that was such a fluke goal.
- 1:23And I'm not like looking at that like, oh, like Salas scored
- 1:26really well. I was like, no, he scored a
- 1:27fluky ass goal. And also just.
- 1:29Oh yeah. Catching your voice just tells
- 1:31me that you are slutty. Can I, can I give you my logic?
- 1:34Because people like a lot of people were clowning.
- 1:36It's one of the things that someone said I was interested is
- 1:38like, oh, that's such a like a homely trait.
- 1:39It's such like a, like a bad decision, like like a rash
- 1:42decision. It's like, no, I actually
- 1:43thought quite a bit about it. And the logic is that Arsenal
- 1:47right now are on track for like record defense.
- 1:50Like they're so that the best, the best defense ever was
- 1:54Chelsea in 2004, 2005 conceded 13 goals.
- 1:58OK. And that means that I think
- 1:59their goals per game was like an average of 0.39.
- 2:03Yeah. 10 games into the season. Arsenals is below that.
- 2:06Arsenals is at like .3. Yeah, they were only letting
- 2:09three goals. Yeah, So they're they're already
- 2:11on track for that. And yeah, I'm not saying they're
- 2:14going to beat it. I'm just saying that they're
- 2:15they're they're it's like it's they're comparable right now
- 2:18defensively. Yeah.
- 2:19And then you look at you look at the way the league is right now
- 2:21and the amount of goals that are set piece goals that are
- 2:23happening and it's significantly higher than it's ever been in
- 2:27the last 10 years. OK.
- 2:28And you're looking at the guy for Arsenal who's like their
- 2:33playmaker when it comes to set pieces like Gabrielle is.
- 2:36It's undisputed Gabrielle is the guy that they look at and like
- 2:39he got the assist from from this game.
- 2:41He got the assist from a set piece.
- 2:42Like, no, no, he's the guy they look at.
- 2:44And then I'm looking at Sala. He has he hasn't played well,
- 2:47there's that team's been in shambles.
- 2:48I know they got to win this week.
- 2:50Then also like Sala historically has, he's going to go to AF con,
- 2:53which is what, 6-7 games where he's going to miss?
- 2:55Historically, Sala has been bad after AF con.
- 2:59Yeah. And so like you Add all those
- 3:00things together and like I would confidently bet a good amount of
- 3:03money that rest of season not even still like starting just
- 3:06even from Week 10, like so week 10 counting.
- 3:09So from yeah, starting for week 10, please.
- 3:11Thanks. Gabriel will have more.
- 3:12Points in time, rest of season. So like for me it's like a no
- 3:16brainer then. No, Yeah, you.
- 3:18Well, we have to look well. No brainer, but well, I don't.
- 3:21I don't even care the logic. Is the logic is clean but.
- 3:24Yeah, but it's like it's it's a, it's a hard.
- 3:27It's it wasn't, it's not like I wouldn't suggest that trade for
- 3:30for anyone. It's not for the faint of heart.
- 3:31You know the only. Thing I'll say to that is, yeah,
- 3:34Arsenal on track, but also also historically in January start,
- 3:39start just losing games. You so you think that.
- 3:43You think it's the collapse is an Arsenal thing, you think?
- 3:47Yes, and also inevitable. It's just like how Tottenham or
- 3:49Spursy, don't worry, Look, I'm praying again to argue another.
- 3:53Not an argument, a passionate debate with another person who
- 3:57doesn't like the fact that we said that Arsenal didn't score
- 4:00enough goals, blah blah blah. But should we go and buy stats?
- 4:03Historically, Arsenal at the moment, I said it straight that
- 4:06the best team in the league at the moment, best defense to do
- 4:08really well. But when January hits is when
- 4:10it's going to have to change if they can fix it.
- 4:13Yeah, I mean, there will. It's not that they have to fix
- 4:15it, they have to just not break it, right?
- 4:19Yep, Yeah, You guys ready for voice to reason?
- 4:22Yeah, I want. To voice, to reason.
- 4:23Let's hear it. So the trade on the surface when
- 4:27you get the names, obviously the initial reaction is like this is
- 4:31stupid trade. I was like 1 sided.
- 4:33But I do believe you could have probably gotten more out of it
- 4:36like maybe like a mission like 20 fab or something.
- 4:39You know this Salah has that name value.
- 4:41I think about this trade is that.
- 4:44You, yeah, because the trade you sent me was Salah and I think it
- 4:50was the Newcastle defender, one of the Newcastle defenders.
- 4:53That's for like. Yeah, for munis to me that was a
- 4:57no brainer. I was like, no, regardless,
- 5:00mostly because of AFCON. If there was no AFCON, I would
- 5:03have something that trade for sure.
- 5:04But I think you could have got us some fab out of it.
- 5:06But as far as like the whole January thing, I get that like,
- 5:09you know, like teams historically performed this one,
- 5:11but I think this teams like a lot deeper.
- 5:13And we've been saying this a lot, but I don't believe like I
- 5:16don't, I don't think just as the team has done bad in a month
- 5:19like the previous years, it's going to carry over for this
- 5:21year as well because different year different.
- 5:25I. Completely agree.
- 5:27But we're just going over what's happened over the last,
- 5:29literally the last three years when they've come second like
- 5:32they've they've been taught before.
- 5:34And I'm not saying and they've been good for three years, also
- 5:37been outstanding 3 years. And the one difference I'll say
- 5:39that you said was they do have depth.
- 5:41But then you corrected me early in the week and you said, well,
- 5:44yeah, they have depth. But Salib was a big piece.
- 5:47They don't really have another piece that can cover him.
- 5:50You see what I'm saying? But they kind of like mascara is
- 5:53not a bad defender, like I think.
- 5:54And then like, you know, like if then if he goes down, like Cal
- 5:57Fiore can play in that position too, I guess.
- 5:59I guess fucking I guess what I'd like the round on Timber too,
- 6:01like the roundabout what thing I'm saying he's on.
- 6:03I'm like totally drinking the Arsenal kool-aid.
- 6:05No, I think I'm fully like thinking like, Oh yeah, this
- 6:08team is legit. And like, I don't I don't like
- 6:09Enzo, your point? Like I don't I think they're
- 6:11deep enough and I think they have enough experience now where
- 6:14they're not going to collapse. Like I think they're like, I
- 6:16think that they're finally at that stage where they should,
- 6:18they should win it. You know, last time.
- 6:23Go ahead. And as a total fan, I've got to
- 6:25say it's it's government. I hope that I hope it doesn't.
- 6:29Yeah. I mean, yeah.
- 6:31But the way it's looking, honestly, they look, they look
- 6:34phenomenal, unfortunately. And from last thing, from my
- 6:37point on this is, remember two years ago Arsenal had that
- 6:40amazing defense as well, but last year they didn't perform
- 6:42because of injuries. Two years ago, you were dying to
- 6:45get your hands on the Arsenal defender fantasy, fantasy wise,
- 6:48even like Zinchenko was putting up minutes, putting up points.
- 6:52So I feel like this defense is more similar to that than the
- 6:55one from last year. And like look at, like look at
- 6:57like if you have two Arsenal defenders, you're probably
- 6:59winning yearly. Like if you have like Timber and
- 7:01Saliba or Gabrielle and Calfiore, you're probably close
- 7:05to 1st yearly. Like dude, if you have also
- 7:08defense and Crystal Palace offenders, you're.
- 7:09Probably like the guy who's the guy who's leading our league in
- 7:12our in our Bros league. Our twelve team has what, 2
- 7:14Arsenal defenders, 2 Crystal Palace offenders and he's like 7
- 7:17and one like it doesn't even matter who the rest of his
- 7:19humans you know? It's like just a weird season
- 7:21like that. Can we talk about that 12 man
- 7:24league and what you and Anzo did?
- 7:26Oh we we freaking tied this week.
- 7:28Wait, you guys we tied this week and then I also I lost I lost in
- 7:32our main league by .25 points. This has been like this,
- 7:35disastrous. I was off by like 25 points and
- 7:38he had freaking Southampton defense, Sunderland defenders
- 7:43and fucking Shaka. Enzo Leafy, the the and the
- 7:45Sunderland midfielder. Fuck.
- 7:48Gotcha, Gotcha. OK.
- 7:52Let's Who would have thought that a player from Leverkus now
- 7:55was going to make a huge impact? Was that going to be Friend
- 7:57Park? Was that going to be words?
- 7:58It was going to be Shaka. There's going to be who?
- 8:04Yeah. Shaka.
- 8:05Who is it? Shaka.
- 8:08Shaka. Oh, yeah.
- 8:09Shaka, Shaka, Shaka. Yeah, yeah.
- 8:10It's wild. He's having a phenomena and.
- 8:13I'm listening a couple of the couple of the some of the
- 8:16defenders of Mukhalelli from bastard Hume, they're all
- 8:20pointing on numbers and they're not, they're not, they're not
- 8:21clean sheet numbers. No, they're just busy numbers.
- 8:24They're busy numbers, busy point numbers.
- 8:27OK, let's keep moving. Wolves socked Pereira finally.
- 8:31And surprising it's taken so long to do that.
- 8:34I guess fantasy wise, I guess the only piece that like I'm
- 8:37kind of curious about is he go bueno because he's been kind of
- 8:39like sneaky good for a while and you wonder if a new coach like
- 8:43he's not going to be get as advanced as he has.
- 8:46So that'd be the one I'd be concerned about.
- 8:47And I think otherwise, like from a tacking standpoint, it can
- 8:49probably only get better. Yeah, may maybe, but not if they
- 8:53get Eric Tenhawk, which is one of the rumours.
- 8:55Is it? Really.
- 8:57That's one of the rumours because Gary O'Neill already
- 8:59said no. They tried to get Gary back and
- 9:02he said. And he said no.
- 9:04He said no, I'm good. Yeah, I'm good.
- 9:06Sorry, I'm not. It's not the right time because
- 9:08you're Ted lost and can't win a game.
- 9:10But the other rumour is Tenhawk because he's a free, he's free
- 9:14inning because he got fired. Is this the worst job in the
- 9:16recent years that's opened? Winless team?
- 9:19No potential, no prospect like you're you're going to be your
- 9:23other game. It's it's pretty bad.
- 9:24No, no, it's pretty bad. But usually this is when these
- 9:28are the jobs that are available at this time.
- 9:30You know what I mean? It's not usually you know you're
- 9:33doing well, unless you're Nuno and you know you're doing OK,
- 9:36and then you get fired and then, you know, the big Ange comes in
- 9:40and screws it over. Yeah.
- 9:41I think it might be one of the more shops in the last few
- 9:43years. Tico.
- 9:44I think it's might be one of the more shops.
- 9:46Oh, dude, I don't think, like, I think Wolves just didn't recruit
- 9:50well enough, you know, in the offseason.
- 9:53I don't even think I don't even really blame the coach that
- 9:55much. Yeah, I don't even.
- 9:56It's hard to even blame Pereira that much, you know.
- 9:59Also, I mean, he saved their season last year and also like,
- 10:03it kind of shows how fucking good Konya is, yeah.
- 10:06It's not just Kunya, though. You can't remember.
- 10:08Yeah. So Kunya was really good losses,
- 10:09I'll give you that. But they also lost Kilman.
- 10:11They lost Neto. Right now, Nori, I mean right
- 10:14now Nori, you can't, you can't Nori state how important he was
- 10:17to that team, the amount of like ball progression that he did for
- 10:20them last. Year they lost a lot of key
- 10:22players and they didn't replace him very well.
- 10:23So that was in the West time last year.
- 10:25Yeah, but before that. Yeah, he and there's the same
- 10:28over the years, over the years. Yeah, because Neto was gone.
- 10:32Yeah, yeah, they just never replaced these players.
- 10:34Yeah, yeah, you know what I mean?
- 10:35So. Well, they try.
- 10:36They just don't get guys that are good enough.
- 10:38Yeah. OK, next one.
- 10:41There's a trend that I've been noticing.
- 10:42I've talked to it on Twitter already, but there's there's
- 10:45CDMS are kind of kicking asses here.
- 10:47Have you guys noticed that, like just this week alone, in the top
- 10:51five player, top five midfielders, Grant, Jacca,
- 10:55Casamiro, Declan Rice are all up there.
- 10:58You also have Ryan Grabenberg. The cat does more of like an
- 11:02attacking midfielder, though. What is this case?
- 11:04Kind of Sado got 18.25. Like where there's a lot of
- 11:06these guys that are like like true holding midfielders that
- 11:11are that are scoring like big, big numbers.
- 11:13Did Adam Warren score well too? I'm not sure if Warren did this
- 11:16this week. Let me look.
- 11:18Yeah, it's been, it's been definitely this year's
- 11:21defenders. Don't get wrong, the attackers
- 11:23are still top of the score point scoring, but defenders are
- 11:26scoring very well this season. Like in general, maybe not right
- 11:30across the board, but there's definitely a lot more in that
- 11:33top 20 I feel than last year. I would.
- 11:35I don't know if there's a way for you guys to see that if you.
- 11:37See last year to this year. Yeah, last year to this.
- 11:40Year I will have to do it offline but I mean.
- 11:43Tico. Yeah, when Tico's not.
- 11:45I'm in a different country with only my phone.
- 11:48But for the record, Keith and I do not have a special system
- 11:54that you don't have access to to literally the same fan tracks
- 11:56that you use. Yeah, but my I'm not on my
- 11:59laptop, I'm my phone because my laptop obviously in there sucks.
- 12:03OK. Yeah, I mean, I just, I think
- 12:07that the CDM position particularly though like we're
- 12:10obviously we've talked a lot about defenders of Nauseam, but
- 12:12like Gravin, Bridge, Casado, like these like like the last
- 12:15two weeks Casamiro has been unreal.
- 12:17And like, I think I was listening to someone talk about
- 12:19how like there's somewhat there's this like tactically
- 12:21they're pushing like everything's everyone's pressing
- 12:23so high. And like, so these centre, these
- 12:26centre defenders, like CDNS are playing way higher up and
- 12:28they're winning the ball. How how the field.
- 12:30You've got Chisita's goal this week.
- 12:32We won the ball like twice in a row high up the field and made
- 12:34the pass for Jaa Pedro's goal. I mean, so if you're getting a
- 12:38lot of like defensive points and you're potentially all of a
- 12:40sudden much more close to the goal when you're winning the
- 12:42ball back, it's just interesting.
- 12:45It's very interesting. Stephanie fantasy value, Yeah.
- 12:48OK, last thing to talk about news and notes High 5 Gate
- 12:51Tottenham and so is that is that smoke or is that fire?
- 12:55What are you just talking? About high 5 gate it.
- 12:58Was high 5 gate. Thomas Frank went out to the
- 13:00field, went to high. Are you talking?
- 13:02About that. They were Jed Spence and went
- 13:04then to Van and went to the. Manager's office and apologized.
- 13:07I hear. You're, you're frustrated.
- 13:10I get it. You're.
- 13:11Frustrated, I get. It too, I watched the game.
- 13:13Did you watch the I know you watched the game key, but did
- 13:15you watch the game Tico? I didn't know it was frustrating
- 13:18for Tottenham. Frustrating for Tottenham was
- 13:20trying to make it work, pass the ball out and he got frustrated
- 13:23by the high press. Don't even only had moments, but
- 13:26Chelsea just dominated. It's not a game where I mean
- 13:29fuck you Keith by the way, you scumbag for.
- 13:31What? What did I wait?
- 13:32What did I do for? Giving the nod to Tottenham the
- 13:34last part and you act in all fucking oh, oh, but this is, you
- 13:37know, Tom, the playing well in Chelsea.
- 13:39Shut up. We already know that Chelsea
- 13:41wins that for a game. What do you always call it?
- 13:433 point lane. Yeah, fuck you, bitch.
- 13:46Oh yeah, this is perfect because we can talk about this game a
- 13:48little bit. Tottenham's XG was 0.05.
- 13:52So bad. Whoa, there was no love for the
- 13:55forward attackers and Tico. I'm going to tell you this right
- 13:58now, you're going to smile, but Javi Simmons looked absolutely
- 14:03clueless the whole game. He came on after 4 minutes for a
- 14:07ninja bar Valve for a freaking concussion because he was
- 14:09fucking stumbling, didn't want to come off, and then the time
- 14:12that was in until he got subbed off in the 74th minute.
- 14:15I don't know what he was running into or what space he thought or
- 14:18what legs he thinks he has, but he could not outrun any player
- 14:22on there. I don't know how many
- 14:24dispossessed she's had, but probably wasn't enough.
- 14:27I said I made a note that Simmons either needs to be
- 14:29benched or it needs to be played out wide until they figure out
- 14:31what's going on because right now him in that, in that whole
- 14:34spot is not working. Not working, just runs into
- 14:37plays like they're not there, like it's a training game and
- 14:40it's OK to lose the ball. Yeah, so he's either, he's
- 14:43obviously on bench. We talked about this ad nauseam
- 14:45last week, but like, he shouldn't be starting games for
- 14:47your fantasy team and he probably shouldn't be starting
- 14:49games for Tottenham right now until they figure out what's
- 14:51going on. Gio Pedro should have had three
- 14:52goals, too. He ended up with like 20.
- 14:55He ended up with 20 some points this week.
- 14:56But like he, that should have been an even more lucrative week
- 14:59for him. Supposed Vicario's.
- 15:01AG Vicario did make some good tips.
- 15:03That is very true. He's been saving us this season
- 15:06from getting. Very much.
- 15:07Embarrassed. So OK.
- 15:12Yeah, 3 point lane. We move on.
- 15:15Next game. Liverpool, Aston Villa.
- 15:17It felt like old Liverpool. Am I wrong to say that?
- 15:20No, it did. And you know why?
- 15:22It's because they only made one. They only had one player in that
- 15:24team that wasn't that that like was new.
- 15:28Every other player went was there last year only.
- 15:30I thought TK was the only player that started and then I guess
- 15:33the keeper. But that doesn't count.
- 15:34Yeah, doesn't count. But like, so to me they look
- 15:37good because they had players that understood and were and
- 15:41were and like didn't have. They weren't like trying to fit
- 15:43into like players and doing new roles and stuff, you know?
- 15:46Also, they didn't feel like they were trying to do too much on
- 15:48their own. They were playing as a team.
- 15:50They'll move the ball. I also saw something online they
- 15:54were talking about how Emery the way he played against Liverpool
- 15:57was different tactic as opposed to like how every team was
- 16:00playing against him during the like losing streak.
- 16:03So I don't know if there I don't know if you guys watch this side
- 16:05meeting about that. Maybe they're sending to it as
- 16:07well because I mean, obviously like even even the most solid
- 16:11goal that you mentioned, it was kind of like a lucky goal.
- 16:14Very lucky like you, just you just got gifted that goal.
- 16:18Yeah, pretty much, yeah. So, and I guess that that's kind
- 16:20of my other point, like even though solid look good, you got
- 16:22gifted a goal like I I so wasn't like this team is back and I'm
- 16:25not I wasn't like, oh, like even though I was kind of bitching in
- 16:27the group chat kind of jokingly, like I'm not like, oh shit, I
- 16:29fucked up on that trade or oh shit, suddenly everything's
- 16:32every Liverpool's back. Everything's fine, you know?
- 16:36Yes. Most all I scored, but Gabriel
- 16:38put up our point. Yes, yeah, yeah.
- 16:43And also Liverpool, like they didn't look, you know, amazing.
- 16:46And they have a big test coming up Tuesday, tomorrow, yeah.
- 16:51I think tomorrow shout out, I don't think he's on waivers, but
- 16:54Andrew Robertson looked really good and I would not be shocked
- 16:57to see him continue in that role for a little bit.
- 17:00And he is on quite a bit of waivers.
- 17:02I think he's only owned in like 25% of leagues.
- 17:05I don't think he plays against Rome, Madrid though.
- 17:06I think that'll be caucus. I don't know, man.
- 17:09I mean, Crickets has been getting smoked by players.
- 17:12He's been kind of position. Do you think this is him
- 17:16changing the line up for a team that he wants to play or do you
- 17:19think it was literally him might be resting some of the players
- 17:21he thinks he needs against Real Madrid?
- 17:23We'll have to. We'll see tomorrow, I guess.
- 17:24We'll see, yeah. But I mean, he can't even afford
- 17:26to arrest players though. He can't even like, if you think
- 17:29about it, he can't even afford to arrest players.
- 17:31Well, Usax has an injury and like what?
- 17:34So that's funny. I mean, it'll be interesting to
- 17:36see if Wertz plays against Ramadan because that would be
- 17:39the one where maybe you could argue he needed a little break.
- 17:42I haven't watched Liverpool in Champions League this season,
- 17:44have they looked better? Are they like how Anthony Gordon
- 17:47is for Newcastle? He plays world Champions League
- 17:50and shit in the league. I mean, they Liverpool lost in
- 17:52their last game in Champions League, so I can't say that it's
- 17:55been yeah, phenomenal. OK, so next.
- 17:59Game that best player. So besidely, Slobeside again
- 18:02looked very good in this game. Again, he looked very, very
- 18:04good. I think we were kind of doubting
- 18:07on him, but he's kind of proven us wrong and it's been the one
- 18:09that I think has has stood out right.
- 18:13Yeah. Where is he?
- 18:14So right now he's ranked 9th in mids overall and 29th in players
- 18:19overall. Pretty good.
- 18:20What did you what did you draft in Tico?
- 18:22I don't remember when I drafted him, but I remember I vowed not
- 18:25to draft him because I had him every year and been in the
- 18:27league. And then I drafted him again
- 18:29because I couldn't pass up on him.
- 18:31I think it was like fourth or fifth round.
- 18:32I traded in because I needed a forward.
- 18:34Yeah, I trained in for a forward, Hudson Adoi, who got
- 18:37benched because of big Ang and then Ang got fired, but Derek
- 18:41had picked him up already. So Derek and then Hudson, they
- 18:45started. He scored 12 points on Derek's
- 18:47bench. So essentially I gave up.
- 18:50I dropped so beside for nothing. Love to see it.
- 18:55OK, let's move on to the next game, Brighton versus leads.
- 18:59Leads just collapsed in this one and the other shot out.
- 19:01This was Brighton's first clean sheet of the season.
- 19:05Did you know that was it? Yeah, I don't know.
- 19:07A while back with another goal. Because it was against Leeds,
- 19:09because they've been playing really well.
- 19:11Leeds is all good, yeah, I mean, but Leeds just did not.
- 19:13Long Starve didn't get any points.
- 19:16No, no, he wise really noted stock, noted Aronson.
- 19:19Yeah, yeah, they nullified him. There's World Cup talk.
- 19:22He's not, he's not playing for. There's World Cup that he's
- 19:24going to be the. Backup.
- 19:25He's not going to he's. Not well.
- 19:28Who? He's the backup striker.
- 19:30It's like Ollie Watkins. Ivan, Tony.
- 19:32Ivan, Tony. Ivan Tony, Ollie Watkins the lap
- 19:36when he's not getting red carded.
- 19:38I would rather. Like right now at.
- 19:40This, at this very moment, I would take Welbeck over all
- 19:42three of those guys. I want to take Welbeck.
- 19:44You you have to think about he's such a good locker room guy,
- 19:46too. Everyone loves Welbeck.
- 19:48Veteran age. He's he's considered one of the
- 19:50he's considered one of like this we've.
- 19:52Already got an agent striker in Harry Kane who obviously is
- 19:56killing him, but he is in the Bundesliga and we already know
- 19:58how that works in the Premiership.
- 19:59Makes you look like a friggin superhero.
- 20:02I haven't Tony. Or is he in that Turkey?
- 20:04Saudi, yeah, but he's banging in goals against players like
- 20:07Cristiano Ronaldo. Yeah, because he's.
- 20:10Yeah, because Christian. Because he's the guy.
- 20:14No, I'm not saying I haven't Tony Ivor, but I'd much like you
- 20:18got Bowen who who could work in there, the lab, who's still
- 20:21young. I think he's still a good
- 20:22player. Ollie Watkins will find he's
- 20:25going to be like, is he going to be like Harry Maguire who plays
- 20:29horrible for his club at time but then plays amazing for
- 20:31England? I don't fucking know.
- 20:33But I don't think Danny Wahlberg's The Answer is back up
- 20:35perfect honest. Yeah, but as of now, I think
- 20:37he's the answer for if you need him in your fantasy teams and
- 20:40just ride the ride the ride the lightning on that one and.
- 20:42And go say his name again. Five and six, Five and six.
- 20:46Something like that, maybe more Derek.
- 20:47Picked him up. Derek 123-451-2346 and six in
- 20:52his last five. Six goals in his last five
- 20:54primary games. Holland Numbers.
- 20:58Holland numbers, absolutely. He doesn't have a big fat 0
- 21:00score in one of those games, but every other game he scored.
- 21:05The last thing I want to call in this game was Minta.
- 21:07Does it look so good? He didn't get any points for it,
- 21:11but he created the first goal too.
- 21:12So it's like just not that, you know, you're looking beyond just
- 21:15the fantasy scores. Like he created the first goal,
- 21:17you know, I mean, he's, he made the he made like the pass that
- 21:19led to the pass the. He got the hockey.
- 21:21Assists, hockey assists, yeah. And like, which was a little
- 21:23more creative pass and he got the assists on the second goal.
- 21:26And like, I don't know. I'm just asked like for you
- 21:28guys, like where does he rank rest this season for you?
- 21:30Well, you think he's he's pointing off, is he pointing off
- 21:32first round value at the moment? I think he's putting up.
- 21:35Like 10, Like 10. Second round value like maybe
- 21:38like 1415, like if you were redrafting the day.
- 21:41I think he's probably going the second round.
- 21:43Second round, yeah. Yeah.
- 21:45I think he's like the second level of strikers.
- 21:48Do you take out the league? On the midfielders.
- 21:50Secondary of midfield. I mean, you're taking him over
- 21:55like an Anthony Gordon. Obviously you're taking him over
- 21:59like a lot of a lot of mids. Like what real what mids are you
- 22:02not taking him over? Like maybe not Kudus, maybe not
- 22:07Saka Palmer. He's not not tier.
- 22:09Fernandez. But you're like I, I think
- 22:12Minto. Realish.
- 22:14I think Realish is a good calm. Yeah, Grealish is a good calm.
- 22:17I think I would take mids over Declan Rice.
- 22:21OK, Yeah, yeah, yeah, Grealish is probably the is an
- 22:24interesting one. I think they're probably a
- 22:26similar level. I I think that's like the, yeah,
- 22:28that's the par. Yeah, OK.
- 22:31Next game, Burnley versus Arsenal.
- 22:33Arsenal was just dominant this game from start to finish.
- 22:36Second goal. Yeah, yeah.
- 22:38He did come off injured, though. Yeah, he did.
- 22:41But it doesn't say. It says we know.
- 22:43Do we know anything else about it?
- 22:44I know. He he said he felt something in
- 22:46the muscle, a little niggle, so I took him off.
- 22:48What do they do if they don't have him?
- 22:50They how? How close is Kaharitz to coming
- 22:52back? He's back.
- 22:53Harris is back. He's fully back, I think.
- 22:55He put I think he's played I. Didn't.
- 22:56I think he might be right? He's played.
- 22:58Yeah, I. Think he might be right?
- 23:00I think I remember seeing that so.
- 23:03But they could also go. Miguel Mourino.
- 23:06They did that. Last year, yes, that's true too.
- 23:08And so at least that gives them like an outlet.
- 23:10That gives people like an outlet.
- 23:11You know, what about anything, anything Burnley, I think it was
- 23:16just too much for them. I don't have too much for them.
- 23:19Yeah, not much to say there. Yeah, just goalkeeper.
- 23:22He's still putting up numbers. Yeah, no one's and like he's
- 23:25available in a lot of leagues still too.
- 23:27Yeah, no, no one's really willing to commit to that.
- 23:29I think it's just the pain of when they do lose games bad.
- 23:33This one was only what it was only two nil like so he didn't
- 23:36do he didn't do too badly, same as Hartman.
- 23:38I don't think he had horrible numbers.
- 23:40Think of like 6 points. Yeah, because they're just busy.
- 23:42They're so busy back there, you know?
- 23:43Well, yeah #1 Goalie. Sunderland Keeper.
- 23:47Yeah, try trading for for Harlem.
- 23:50Masala. OK, Next game, Crystal Palace,
- 23:54Brentford. I thought Palace felt really
- 23:56comfortable the whole game. And I think that's like, again,
- 23:58another sign that they're the real deal.
- 24:00Because in the past that would be the type of game where it'd
- 24:02be two teams that are kind of those plucky upstart teams.
- 24:04But now it looks like Palace has just kind of reached another
- 24:07level. That's just so like dialed in
- 24:09defensively, Yeah, when you watch the game, they got so much
- 24:12control on their back. And Guay, he's just and riches,
- 24:15Guay and Richards, they're just freaking holding it down.
- 24:19Talk about a team losing players, not replacing them and
- 24:22still playing great. All he says.
- 24:25As they those are like top elite players.
- 24:27They lost, didn't affect them, go away.
- 24:30They're going to lose next year and they're still putting up
- 24:32like amazing results. I mean, they knocked out.
- 24:35I think I mean again, combo of it's a combo of like great
- 24:38coaching and then great like recruitment, you know?
- 24:42Organization. Yeah.
- 24:44Or just, you know, it's one of those games that is struggle.
- 24:46That's, I mean, I feel like with Brentford, it's like if they
- 24:50don't get things going it, it can get pretty ugly from a
- 24:52fantasy standpoint, you know, but you know, because they play
- 24:55that really direct style. So if like, and if that direct
- 24:58style isn't getting them anywhere, like nobody's getting
- 25:01points on that team, you know? Yeah, like their high scoring
- 25:05player was their defender, Christopher Azer was 6.5.
- 25:09It's pretty rough. Yeah.
- 25:11That it's, it's Hill, Mr. They ever show up or they just
- 25:14completely just collapse. Yeah.
- 25:17OK next one not a forest Man United that kids never getting a
- 25:20haircut disease. He's never getting a fucking
- 25:22haircut. It's never going to happen,
- 25:23kids. Just.
- 25:24Just the second he has a little bit of help they just get, he
- 25:27gets ripped away from him. But even with a draw, you know,
- 25:30I mean, it's don't get wrong, it is Forest and you expect them to
- 25:33beat them like the way they've been playing in form.
- 25:35But to come back, two goals, we're going to do.
- 25:40Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I mean, it's a good, it's, it's
- 25:43a, in some ways it's a good point for them.
- 25:45But obviously, I think, I think that people were just expecting
- 25:48more, you know, But when you get, when you get punched like
- 25:50that, they got sucker punched by those two balls.
- 25:52Yeah, and if he it's bad that they got the draw or if they
- 25:54lost, Oh my God, the the media would have a field day.
- 25:58Yeah, Tika, we're talking. We've been talking about like
- 26:02United and the fact that they there's like all these attacking
- 26:05players and if they're all going to score and looked so it looked
- 26:07like who was the odd man out this week of Cesco, huh?
- 26:10Like Cesco Point. 2/5. Kunia had a solid, you know,
- 26:13everyone else scored north of 10 and then Cesco had, it was
- 26:16almost zero way up a 0.25. So it's just like it's, I wonder
- 26:19if there's always going to be, there's a little bit of that
- 26:20roulette thing going on with them, you know?
- 26:23But I think Cesco is the one from them that's the probably
- 26:26most goal dependent obviously because MO Kunia Bruno could do
- 26:30so much more they got. To point so differently, yes,
- 26:32yeah, yeah, I think I. Think goal dependent too.
- 26:36I think, I think I would. I would argue that Diallo's a
- 26:39little bit just goal dependent and not goal dependent, but he's
- 26:42a little, he's more prone to getting those lower scores than
- 26:45the other guys because of the fact that he plays on that and
- 26:48on that on that wing back position.
- 26:50And that's just like is that's like he just could get like the
- 26:53game flow, game state just means that he could maybe lose out
- 26:56where I feel like Cunya and Guema Bruno are always going to,
- 26:59no matter what the situation is always going to have the
- 27:01opportunity to score points. Yeah.
- 27:02You know, those three are the top, top of the pecking order.
- 27:05And also Diallo needs to have the ball at his feet.
- 27:10I don't think he makes because, you know, he he does play that
- 27:12position. So he's not like in the box.
- 27:13He can't make those grounds to kind of score.
- 27:14So he is the bottom of that. But remember, last year he was
- 27:18like the few games that he played, he was a ghost points
- 27:20monster. But obviously, you know,
- 27:21different formation at the time. Yeah.
- 27:25Morgan Gibbs White got his first goal this season.
- 27:28Yeah. Thanks a lot.
- 27:31For that, that's for what it's worth, I mean, he's been, he's
- 27:33been a bit of a disappointment. Yeah, he's.
- 27:37Been playing against him this week so it fucking sucked.
- 27:39Because he was like he was our third round pick in our league
- 27:42and to get you know, he's had two he's out of he got an assist
- 27:44the very first game of the season.
- 27:46They just got a goal. That's not I mean this squares.
- 27:48Have been rough, yeah, disappointment, but also like
- 27:50it's understandable. Like I think it's trajectory
- 27:52pointing upwards just because of all the managerial changes
- 27:55they've had in the fucking lunatic of a team owner they
- 27:58have. So you think you which was that?
- 28:00Would that be something you'd be interested in training for?
- 28:03No, Absolutely, yeah. Yeah, I think you can get him on
- 28:06the cheap. I think someone might be willing
- 28:08to trade him now too, just because they're like, oh man,
- 28:10he's finally scored. Let me try and get.
- 28:11Rid of them, Who would you try again?
- 28:13For like. Who, Who's going to take Who?
- 28:16Who, Who? Who's not OK?
- 28:17I have a good one. OK, Duf from Arsenal, from West
- 28:21Ham. OK, who'd you rather have?
- 28:24Duf has been scoring consistently between 7 and 10
- 28:26points every single game. I think there's one game where
- 28:28he didn't and he got subbed off at half.
- 28:29Yeah. Every every other game, he
- 28:31scored between 7:00 and 10:00. I like the consistency
- 28:35consistency more. Like yeah, I would trade do for
- 28:38Gibbs White just because Gibbs White has the upside.
- 28:40Yeah. You know, but some may maybe
- 28:42that I mean maybe someone like who's another midfielder.
- 28:46Reindeer Games. I would I would happily trade
- 28:49reindeer games for for him, I think.
- 28:53What? But like I Yeah.
- 28:57Who else? Who's the other one?
- 28:59Granted Jacques. What do you think?
- 29:01No 7. No.
- 29:02I might keep Jacques. It keeps.
- 29:03You've been pretty. I'm good this year.
- 29:05Yeah, you have. To Yeah, you have to.
- 29:07Lucas Piquetta. He's been good, He's been good.
- 29:11But. But he's Lucas Piquetta.
- 29:13But he's Lucas, yeah. Now you just never know when
- 29:17he's going to he's going to throw a couple, he's going to
- 29:19throw a couple of bucks out, he's going to bet on himself to
- 29:21get a yellow. And no, I don't know.
- 29:23Yeah, I think they're they're they're two players in similar
- 29:26situations where their teams have been so bad.
- 29:27The difference is Piquetta is on pens A and then B's actually
- 29:31scored some bangers, right. Gibbs White has it.
- 29:33So yeah, I think that's a pretty interesting.
- 29:35That'd be an interesting one. I don't think Morgan give
- 29:38White's a bad player, but I don't think he has the fancy
- 29:41value needed. Well, he did last year, right?
- 29:43Not really. I thought it was pretty.
- 29:46Good. Was was he last year?
- 29:47I hadn't dinner. I think he's still running off
- 29:49the the season he had a couple years ago.
- 29:51Yeah, maybe. I mean, I know he's, I mean, he
- 29:53was going in like the second, third round and yeah, last year.
- 29:58So this year, no. I'm talking about last year I
- 30:02picked him up. I.
- 30:02Don't know I I feel yeah so I'm going to look for I can look
- 30:06real quick 2425 year today where he gives away finished 21st
- 30:12overall. It was thirty 34th overall 2425
- 30:17S and. He went second round this year,
- 30:18that is. He went third round this year,
- 30:21so that's kind of right on. Makes sense.
- 30:24Yeah. All right.
- 30:25Next game full of Wolves. I I don't have any notes.
- 30:28Harry Wilson scored a good goal. Yeah.
- 30:31Anything else? No.
- 30:33I mean, it's hard, it's hard to really comment on on wolves just
- 30:35given that. There's a new.
- 30:36Coach So it's hard to know what's going to look like.
- 30:38Kevin started and Kevin started. And I got he didn't start him.
- 30:42Oh my God. You got 5 1/2 points.
- 30:45Yeah, I think less 5 1/2. Yeah, something like that.
- 30:50Five and a half. Oh, your next game, Man City,
- 30:51Bournemouth. Do you guys see this?
- 30:53dot early? Holland, 13 goals.
- 30:57You know their next highest goal scorers.
- 30:59Burnley defender. I know this.
- 31:01Yeah. Burnley defender.
- 31:02Goals. You got 2 on goals.
- 31:04Everyone else has one goal. Nico, O'Reilly, Rynders.
- 31:07All these other players have one goal.
- 31:09They're not a what are? The same?
- 31:10What are the same stat? They're not one man team.
- 31:13I bet you they're, although there's a lot of other players
- 31:15that have assists all the Holland, yeah, yeah.
- 31:19Dude, I'm telling you, man, Galactico's in Ali.
- 31:21That's his cheat code right there.
- 31:23Holland is his cheat code. If well, as long as he's just
- 31:25there, he's got a chance. To, I mean, so Holland.
- 31:28I mean, he's unreal. I thought for sure he was going
- 31:31to take soccer and I was going to get fucking Holland.
- 31:35The thing is, is that Holland right now is 40 is 40 points
- 31:39better off than than the next best player in the league right
- 31:42now. That's a lot.
- 31:44Is this still Simeno? It's still simeno.
- 31:47Simeno is 16075. Holland is at two O 125.
- 31:50And Simeno's had a couple bad get, like, they're not bad
- 31:53games, but they're not the same scores that, you know, he was.
- 31:56Getting yeah, he's not at the level.
- 31:58Yeah, he's, he's dropping out. There was no way Simeno was
- 32:00going to. Maintain that.
- 32:03Yeah, we OK, Enzo? Yeah, I dropped my phone.
- 32:07No. Sometime, yeah, because I was
- 32:11crossing my legs like an idiot. What do we think?
- 32:14So I actually thought Semenya saw some really good
- 32:16opportunities. I almost feel like it's like
- 32:19it's not that his team let him down, but like, he created a lot
- 32:22still. Like, he still looks like the
- 32:24guy you know, But yeah, I think. He's still playing well.
- 32:27It's Tigo's point. He was never going to sustain.
- 32:30He was never going to sustain that level of production.
- 32:32No, but it's it's also. Defenses like they're going to
- 32:34focus more on him. Yeah, sure.
- 32:36He's just not going to get that output every time.
- 32:38But he's still a great player for that team that is there to
- 32:41create goals by creating space, by getting all the attention.
- 32:45Yeah, but he's not going to always have those days where he
- 32:47scores a goal or scores two goals against Liverpool.
- 32:50It's not going to happen every week.
- 32:52Appreciate it. Oh yeah, Pepper roulette is also
- 32:54in full swing. We need to speak on that.
- 32:56They Shirky played, Foden played, Marmoush came in Rondo,
- 33:00Savio started. Neither of them started, Doki
- 33:03started. It's just it's turning into that
- 33:05chaos, chaotic situation over there.
- 33:08It's happening again. Yeah, it's happening.
- 33:11Well, I mean. To be fair.
- 33:12Seeing ghosts and never one and never one away.
- 33:14They were just injured. True.
- 33:17That's true, true. Good point.
- 33:19Fucking. All right, next one West Ham
- 33:20versus Newcastle. West Ham showed up, bro.
- 33:23That's did that. That's the I'm going to I'm
- 33:25going to take a break on betting on new on Newcastle for a while.
- 33:29What's that? Yeah, it was pretty stupid.
- 33:32Murphy scored and like he scored early and it looked like, oh,
- 33:34West Ham are going to cruise or Newcastle are going to cruise in
- 33:37this game. And then Newcastle really fought
- 33:38back. I was really impressed.
- 33:39I thought Nuno had them really well organized and they were
- 33:43playing like a 4141, which was interesting.
- 33:47So it was almost like 2 tens behind Wilson with Poquetzen and
- 33:51Fernandez and I thought that was actually a pretty good little
- 33:54situation for them. Like it worked.
- 33:56Bowen had a you know, Bowen had a good time on that right hand
- 33:58side too. Yeah, and I don't quite
- 34:00understand how we didn't get the assist for the the last goal.
- 34:03Because you told fan tracks to not give it to him.
- 34:06I would have loved if they gave it to him the opposite, but it
- 34:09was like he he crossed the ball, but it was like maybe like Pope
- 34:11made a save. I don't know.
- 34:13It's weird. I didn't quite get how he didn't
- 34:14get. Well, Declan was going to assist
- 34:16last week for a Basil someone's shoulder.
- 34:18Yeah, I don't know, man. Exactly.
- 34:19Yeah, the mystery is the mystery is Optus score assist system.
- 34:24OK, the last thing I want to call out is 3 Newcastle players
- 34:28got hooked at half and that actually crushed a lot of
- 34:30people's fantasy weeks. Gordon and Voltemar both pulled
- 34:33at half and the worst part about it is that they didn't look
- 34:35better. It wasn't like, oh, they got
- 34:37pulled in half and then all of a sudden they looked better.
- 34:39It was like that I pulled in half and I feel like this
- 34:41Newcastle, but I, I mean, on one level, maybe if you own one of
- 34:45those guys, you can take solace in that because that means that
- 34:47they'll probably come back to the team next game.
- 34:49It's not like they like look, you know what I mean?
- 34:51Yeah, where's Whistler? On his way back.
- 34:55Man. After the.
- 34:56Break, it's definitely after the international, but I'd say
- 34:58everyone's after the break. They, I think they just say
- 35:00that. They say that about everyone,
- 35:02so. Right.
- 35:04It says it's, I read early November, But then they said
- 35:07they just might hold him out until after the international
- 35:08break, give him some extra, like, time to get in shape.
- 35:13But then when does Afghan start? So he's going to come back in
- 35:15like after a month, Get the hell out of here.
- 35:17Yeah. Yeah.
- 35:18I'm hoping he's injured until Afghan.
- 35:20You're hoping he's injured until Afghan.
- 35:23Yeah, So he doesn't go to Afghan and then so he doesn't go to
- 35:25Afghan. I haven't.
- 35:27It's all my roster. If he literally.
- 35:30Does the same thing. Tico, if he gets healthy during
- 35:33Afghan, If he gets healthy during Afghan, he's going to go
- 35:37to Afghan. I get oh like middle of it, like
- 35:40no. Yeah, he'd go in the middle if
- 35:42he was, if he was suddenly like got healthy, he'd be like, I'm
- 35:45going to go and play for my country because that that to
- 35:47those guys, that's so important. No, if he's not called up, he
- 35:51can't. So if he's injured, they're not
- 35:52going to call. Him up OK, OK, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 35:55But they if he was like on the if he was a there is potential
- 35:58for him to be healthy, they would call him.
- 36:02Yeah. I mean, they knew he wasn't
- 36:03going to play for the easy. Work.
- 36:05Can we just think, let's just leave this because he's going to
- 36:07come back before AF con He's going.
- 36:09To get even if he's going to be on the roster regardless.
- 36:12I don't know. I don't know if he's really
- 36:14going to come back for Afghan. I think he might come.
- 36:16I think he might get some minutes worth of Afghan, but I
- 36:17don't think he's going to be a viable starting player before
- 36:20Afghan. Let's talk about some other
- 36:22injured players. Is Kulaseki going to come back
- 36:24before Afghan? Before Afghan is.
- 36:26He being called up for. Africa.
- 36:28I love it, though. The whitest in something, I
- 36:34don't think. I don't think they make him
- 36:35whiter. The coolest?
- 36:36Yeah. He's fucking pretty white all.
- 36:39Right, last game of the last game of the week, Sunderland
- 36:41versus Everton and and Doy went on an amazing run and diet and
- 36:45scored and scored a pretty good. Quite the banger, huh?
- 36:48Dude, he's a playoffs, do you think?
- 36:50He's gonna still be ever next season.
- 36:52I wouldn't be shocked if he went somewhere else.
- 36:54It's just I'd be curious to see who would take him.
- 36:55I mean, you don't think like what?
- 36:59Barcelona, Barcelona, Barcelona I could see.
- 37:01I mean, I could see him being a Barcelona player actually.
- 37:03I could see him being a Barcelona player too.
- 37:05Wait. They loved the match.
- 37:06It was where's he from? Somewhere in, somewhere in,
- 37:13somewhere in San Diego. Oh, Senegalese.
- 37:17So him and Nicole Jackson, who he might be going to Afghan too.
- 37:20No, Sergei. What is Bayern Munich going to
- 37:23do if they leave? So after after that and die gold
- 37:27though, I felt I felt like Sunderland dominated the game
- 37:29today it. Was God, I didn't get to watch
- 37:32the game, I was at work, but every time I looked at fan
- 37:35tracks it just got worse and worse.
- 37:36That game. It was.
- 37:37I thought Sunderland was dominated.
- 37:39I also oh so go ahead Tiga. Oh, Oh no, I was going to
- 37:42analyze that. I was just going to say how
- 37:44amazing that game is because it resulted in both of you taking
- 37:46an L and then getting a tie, the first ever tie we've.
- 37:50Had so gross. Maybe not No, we've had one
- 37:53maybe two years ago. But the worst part is it's like
- 37:55it's not like I won one and drew another.
- 37:58It was. I won one that was.
- 37:59Because the Queen. Died and lost one and tied one,
- 38:02that's where. So I'd almost rather lose 2 than
- 38:05lose. One, yeah, I'll see the same
- 38:06thing today as like. You know what's going to happen
- 38:10every time? Every time you guys look at the
- 38:12standings and see that one in the middle that's different, you
- 38:15remember that you guys banged. It's like.
- 38:18I don't know if I don't know that phrase it that way, but I'm
- 38:21going to think about this one game because usually when I
- 38:23lose, I just I black vault it and I just never think about it
- 38:25again. Yeah.
- 38:26But now it's like I can't Unsee that little, that little one
- 38:29there. And it wasn't even a high score
- 38:31in ties. Fucking AE.
- 38:32That was absolute trash. It was like 84 to 84.
- 38:34We actually we would have lost most of the other matchups.
- 38:37But. To be fair about the other.
- 38:39League that would have. Won every other matchup besides
- 38:41like in the one I was in. Yeah, in the 12 man league only
- 38:44one person scored over 80, a hundred points.
- 38:46I think it was a very low scoring week.
- 38:49It was a little strong week, yeah, Because 12 man makes it
- 38:51rough. Rough, Yeah.
- 38:53The person playing against me. Yeah, Yeah.
- 38:58What do you guys think about? So we implemented a new thing in
- 39:00our league where we pay starting week 9, we pay $10 whoever gets
- 39:05the highest points. What do you guys think about
- 39:07that? It's been 2 weeks, kind of fun.
- 39:09Did you think about it? I like, I like it, but and I I
- 39:14think you will get a little bit more, you know, sticking around
- 39:18for a little bit longer, but the ones that who are still bombed,
- 39:21who've only won one game or two, Anthony give a shit.
- 39:24Yeah, I mean that the hope was to keep them a little engaged.
- 39:27But no, I hear. You soon, but see how it goes.
- 39:31I also thought that if I wrote like a paragraph about each
- 39:33winner that it might keep people engaged to, but no one seems to
- 39:36be liking that. No one seems to be reading.
- 39:38It's not really like congratulations, it's more like
- 39:40here you lose that, go talk to your girlfriend who's bored.
- 39:44That's fucked up bro. Go buy dollar cheese.
- 39:49But but if I ever get that highest scoring one, I would
- 39:54like a long paragraph at that well that I won.
- 39:57You'll absolutely get a paragraph.
- 39:58That's the whole point. As commissioner, I'm trying to
- 40:00keep this league fun, boys. OK?
- 40:02The last thing I want to shot is Greeley shot.
- 40:04His lowest scoring game you'd start year to date only 4.5
- 40:08points. Sunderland kind of just shut him
- 40:09down. They just did.
- 40:10They did not. They swarmed him every time he
- 40:12had the ball. There was three.
- 40:13There were 3. Some of the players, really.
- 40:15Yeah. They did not let him do his
- 40:17thing. Damn.
- 40:20Yeah. Oh, yeah.
- 40:21Should we have the waivers? Yeah, it's kind of waivers you
- 40:23got. First one, this was a Sergey ad
- 40:27John Paul von Heck from Brighton defender 31% rostered 30th
- 40:33ranked defender. And I think it's it's worth
- 40:35calling out. We talked about earlier is he's
- 40:36the 30th ranked defender after this game and this was their
- 40:38first clean sheet. So they if they figure out their
- 40:41defense a little bit like he could very much become a very,
- 40:44very good asset. So I like this one a lot. 14.6
- 40:47points per game the last 30 days with one goal and one clean
- 40:49sheet. Like clean sheeping this week.
- 40:52Next three games, Crystal Palace, Brentford, Nottingham
- 40:54Forest. Not a bad run because even even
- 40:57with Palace, it's like, obviously they've been great,
- 40:59but it's not like they've they've been this like, amazing.
- 41:02Yeah. It's like they've been just so
- 41:04good at defense and then scoring when they need to.
- 41:05Yeah. OK, so that's a good one.
- 41:09Next one, Matt Swifer, 37% roster at 47th ranked
- 41:12midfielder, 11th. 2.211.12 points per game in the last 30
- 41:16days with an assist and then same same next three games,
- 41:20Palace, Redford, Forest. I think that's a solid 1.
- 41:21Even if he does play defense as a midfielder, he's getting
- 41:24enough points to to get there, you know?
- 41:27Yeah, I like we far, like a bit we far.
- 41:30We talked about Kevin from Fulham. 31% rostered, first
- 41:34start of the season, 71 minutes, very disappointing. 5.25 points.
- 41:37Did he look better though? I didn't, I didn't.
- 41:39I didn't watch him that closely. Did he look like in the past?
- 41:44It's been exciting, right? It's insane that is only
- 41:46rostered 31%. Yeah.
- 41:49I mean, dude, he hasn't. Well, not really, because he
- 41:51hasn't. This was.
- 41:51His first start? Yeah, not really.
- 41:53He hasn't started. If he starts getting started
- 41:55something wrong when he came off the bench, you're right, he
- 41:59scored, he scored a lot of points when he came off the
- 42:00bench, like 15 minutes. You get in 6-7 points, that's
- 42:03that's great. But then you start and you only
- 42:05got 5.5. It's a little bit concerning.
- 42:09Well, you think it's just slow getting out the out the gates
- 42:13when you start? I mean, who's also like they
- 42:16played, they played Wolves. It's not like it was a tough
- 42:18opponent. Yeah, yeah.
- 42:22All right, next one on here, Andy Robertson, we talked about
- 42:24him, Liverpool defender. I think he played well enough to
- 42:26lock down that role for the foreseeable future.
- 42:29I mean, I think they're good starts.
- 42:31It'll be interesting to see against Madrid and Champions
- 42:33League who starts and that Robertson might not be able to
- 42:35go every like twice a week, every single week.
- 42:38He's getting up there in age, but I think he's worth picking
- 42:41up for a lot of for a lot of teams as like your 5th defender
- 42:46because you can throw them. Yeah, I think the one concern is
- 42:49that like, other than this game, it's not like Liverpool.
- 42:51Liverpool's been letting in so many goals.
- 42:53So that that would be my concern there.
- 42:55Well, you think that pointing him in would like try to
- 42:58consolidate that and they wouldn't get and mitigate how
- 43:00many goals are pointing because he's more trusted defensively
- 43:03than? Defensively, solid.
- 43:05It's very true. Very, very bad.
- 43:07OK, next one. Harry Wilson, Fulham midfielder.
- 43:10I think he's been looking like eye test Y he's been looking
- 43:12pretty decent recently and he scored a pretty good goal.
- 43:14It's always tough with a Fulham midfielder.
- 43:17It's always tough with Harry Wilson because he's always kind
- 43:19of Harry Wilson's always kind of promised, you know, like he
- 43:22could be a a viable player. He's never quite delivered.
- 43:26No at all. I.
- 43:27Think he's, I think like, I don't know.
- 43:29I just, I put him on here because I wanted to see what
- 43:31gets you, what you guys talk about.
- 43:33I've always liked Harry Wilson, but he just doesn't seem to be
- 43:36consistent enough in his team and he's they they don't mind
- 43:39hooking him and throwing him on the bench, you know, I mean, and
- 43:43honestly, the Fulham midfield hasn't been scoring the points
- 43:47that they did last scene. When I say the full midfield, I
- 43:50mean Obi Wan Iwobi hasn't been putting up those numbers like
- 43:54you did last season. So and he he was like the the
- 43:57engine of that midfield and they're not they're not going
- 44:00getting going perfectly honest. So.
- 44:01They play everything next week. Ever been ever since.
- 44:04Been kind of dismal. Are they playing a big Dick
- 44:07stadium? So yeah, they're playing at Hill
- 44:11Dickinson. Yep.
- 44:13Yeah, and they've only lost one game there.
- 44:14Yeah, true. Next one on the list, Guy.
- 44:18We we have a bunch. Mateus Fernandez West Ham played
- 44:2124 minutes in game week 9 and got a goal and then he got to
- 44:24start in game week 10 and had an assist and got like in the
- 44:26teens, like 1415 points. I think he looks good in the
- 44:30position that Shawn Daesh hasn't been, which is playing next to
- 44:32Kepta behind a striker in like a dual 10 role.
- 44:36I think it's I think it's kind of nice like I, I, he had, he
- 44:39had a lot of the ball. I thought he looked good.
- 44:41I would be interested in him, especially because mid is pretty
- 44:44light as a position because you know, so these are the guys
- 44:47you're going to be looking at. I didn't really watch too much
- 44:49of this game. Were they playing more direct or
- 44:51they still passing the ball through the midfield?
- 44:54I thought there was a lot of play through the midfield for
- 44:56sure, OK. I think, 'cause they have two
- 44:59holders and then they have Poquetta and Fernandez.
- 45:01It's like that box midfield where they they're trying to
- 45:04have an extra man in there, you know?
- 45:05So they ends up they end up getting quite a bit of play
- 45:07through there. OK.
- 45:09So yeah, that's interesting. I was interested.
- 45:12I I want to get your opinion on this Diego Gammas Gomez got for
- 45:15Brighton. He scored two, kind of had his
- 45:18it was his breakout performance. He hasn't really done it much.
- 45:20He's had a few starts and was pretty non existent prior to
- 45:24this Palace next, which isn't ideal, but then the next two
- 45:27games after that we've talked about our Brett for Nautical
- 45:30Forest. Is that someone you might would
- 45:32take a flyer on? Is that you need to see a little
- 45:34more? Well, but you got honestly, in
- 45:38most of these leagues, if you don't pick them up early, you're
- 45:39not going to get them. You got to be quick, man.
- 45:41You got to be quick. Like Tico picking up the lap in
- 45:45both freaking leagues. Load my back.
- 45:48And then being like, wait, how did you get a red?
- 45:51At this and why did they carry bullshit?
- 45:55That is that is bullshit. I like bridal attacking players
- 46:01so I would take take him. That is bullshit.
- 46:03It's like getting already coupled.
- 46:04They're in missing a La Liga game.
- 46:06This is stupid. Here's my question for you guys.
- 46:08Who would you rather? Who would you rather pick up
- 46:11from those 3 minutes, Harry Wilson, Matthias Fernandez or
- 46:13Diego Gomez? If you had an open spot and
- 46:15those three guys run away, who would you rather go?
- 46:18Because I could see an argument for every single one.
- 46:20Gomez Who's? I think I'll go for that.
- 46:23I was. Going to say who's?
- 46:24For that Angel Gomez next range. West Ham, Yeah, game week 11.
- 46:29They're playing Burnley. Oh, OK, yeah, I'll go for that.
- 46:32But I mean. For for Gomez, all you have to
- 46:35do is just kind of pass it to Welbeck and he's going to score
- 46:37a goal, so that's an easy assist right there.
- 46:39That's. Not a given like a Welbeck.
- 46:42That's. Not a given how?
- 46:43What? How dare you do disrespect
- 46:46favorite country? That's not given.
- 46:48I'll see. I just I like Brighton players
- 46:50more if it's it's just that the surprise.
- 46:53It was time. It's fucking was time out of my
- 46:55life. They're not the LA Clippers of
- 46:57the. Legs, I think, I think I like
- 47:00Fernandez for the match up and the fact that like he's kind of
- 47:03playing a new position, the fact that he's gotten a goal and an
- 47:07assist in the last two games makes me think that he's kind of
- 47:09like on one. And with Gomez, we just haven't
- 47:11seen him do anything other than this game.
- 47:13So, yeah, so, you know, you see guys that blow up, like have a
- 47:16blow up for a single game. But I, I could see, I could see
- 47:19the argument either way. Hey, the last name on here,
- 47:21Wesley Fofan at Chelsea. He's he's healthy, which is like
- 47:26the biggest thing for him. And he I thought he looked elite
- 47:28for his spirits. I thought he totally just
- 47:30dominated, looked really good, was in a lot of plays, solid
- 47:32defensive numbers. And the most surprising thing
- 47:35for me, when I looked at stats, he had three successful dribbles
- 47:38as a defender, which is like if you're getting a few successful
- 47:41dribbles thrown into all the defensive stats, it's pretty
- 47:45good. It's pretty good, so that's the
- 47:47point I. Think if healthy could be a
- 47:48strong option? Strong option.
- 47:52All right, Buzz, we're going to talk preview a little bit.
- 47:55All right, if we tell you this how we're going to bet this
- 47:57week. Yeah, so we are no longer going
- 48:00to do parlays because those are suckers bats.
- 48:02And we've known that for oh, we've known that this whole
- 48:05time. And we, we just thought we
- 48:06suckers. We're doing it because we we do
- 48:08it for you. But what we're going to do is
- 48:12we're still going to each you the bat, but what we're going to
- 48:15do now? Is we're just going to split the
- 48:17just target? Just what the fucker?
- 48:20Well, he's not wrong. Do you think this is should we,
- 48:25should we go back? Should we re nag on our
- 48:27decision? Honestly, I like the product
- 48:29because like if we're doing $10, if we win, even if it's like
- 48:32plus 300, it's like you win 30 dollars, $20, like all right,
- 48:35whatever. But if we hit a parlay, remember
- 48:39that one time we hit like a $700.00 parlay?
- 48:41Oh my God. I mean, we're still, we're still
- 48:43riding the hive of that. That was for a game week 3 of
- 48:45last year and we're still riding that.
- 48:47We. We.
- 48:48No, we got one this year, the 1st.
- 48:49Match We won this. Year game week 1.
- 48:53Yeah, yeah. We'll be close.
- 48:56OK, well, I'm, I'm up for it. Let's let's let's talk through
- 48:58these games and let's both talk about the odds and let's talk a
- 49:01little fantasy. And let's just do this somewhat
- 49:03quick because we're we're running a log 1 here.
- 49:05Let's go. OK, Tottenham versus Man United,
- 49:08other than kudos. I would wait on the Tottenham
- 49:10lineup before making choices from a fantasy standpoint
- 49:12because they're just their way that they've been lining up is
- 49:14just scary to me. And then I was, I guess from the
- 49:18United side. Yeah, I guess for the United
- 49:21side, it's like the it's the United point roulette.
- 49:23Like who's who's going to miss out?
- 49:25I don't think I don't. I think it's really hard to have
- 49:27four or five guys all score. Yeah, but you still we talked.
- 49:31About it earlier, I think it's probably like this.
- 49:34You have to start. Taking.
- 49:35The score, it's like, it's like rush roulette.
- 49:37You just don't know you. You might, you might have the
- 49:39bullet. The bullet is at 0.
- 49:41Big fans they're. Gonna all of them.
- 49:42Score he knows for me against Tottenham.
- 49:45Yeah, May Night once, revenge four times last season.
- 49:50A Tottenham win is plus 180 and yeah, a Tottenham win is plus
- 49:55180-A Manchester United win is plus 145 and a draw is plus 250.
- 50:01Are United's favorite. Tottenham favorite.
- 50:02I can see a draw on this game. You know what's fuck, you know
- 50:04what's fucking hilarious? I'm I'm going to say at
- 50:06Tottenham con school, but we got like one of the highest goal
- 50:09goal assist averages in the league.
- 50:11Really. Yeah, Gold.
- 50:13Gold's against the. Whole school OK, next games.
- 50:15Everton. Fulham.
- 50:16I think greenish comes. Everything about that.
- 50:19Grilish comes back in this game. You think Grilish ends up going
- 50:21to bounce back every Grilish if Grilish doesn't?
- 50:24If Grilish doesn't bounce back, I usually get a little concerned
- 50:27because I I feel there's been a like, even though his points
- 50:29have been decent, there's been a little bit of like a drop off as
- 50:31far as like his impact. I don't.
- 50:35Know even when his impact kind of diminished, but I think he's
- 50:38this last few games, I just feel like his impact has not been
- 50:41there. You think he's back on the
- 50:43source? I, I mean, I think he's just off
- 50:45the high of like leaving that team, you know, I think he's
- 50:48like back into the routine and maybe it's a sauce.
- 50:53Well, he did have a week off. He didn't play against cities.
- 50:55So, you know, I was like, what am I going to do?
- 50:57Let me just. And you think if he travelled,
- 50:59did they? If he travelled too, you know,
- 51:01he went back to his local, you know what I mean?
- 51:03I doubt he travelled, he couldn't play.
- 51:04Or maybe this, maybe he does that, they might just keep it
- 51:07with him. I'll stick large stick with.
- 51:10Green OK the odds Everton plus 1/20 full 1 + 240 at at The
- 51:17Hill. Dickinson that's an interesting
- 51:201. The draws plus an inch 5I.
- 51:22Don't like it? Yeah.
- 51:24I I don't like this game. Yeah.
- 51:27OK. What about this one?
- 51:28I don't, I don't know how I feel, but that's what either
- 51:29West Ham, Burnley, I believe it's at the it's at the burn of
- 51:34the turf war at the Burnley Stadium.
- 51:36OK. There's a lot of pieces to play
- 51:37here, I think. I think it's a lot.
- 51:39I think you can play quite a few pieces here.
- 51:41I don't know if it's a lot of eight in the last five.
- 51:44Well, West Ham have led an 8 goals in the last five games.
- 51:46Burnley has have led an 11 goals in the last five games.
- 51:50So I think I think there's a lot of tough pieces you can play.
- 51:53I think I think like Fernandez, who we talked about on waivers,
- 51:56I think is a very good play this week, I think.
- 51:58Fernandez, Bowen. Obviously the Bowen, I think
- 52:00even like Somerville you could maybe play with if you're
- 52:03really, if you're really at the. If you're really desperate.
- 52:05You got like you got like 9 1/2 points last game, so I'm not
- 52:09like so against it. I think some of those Burnley
- 52:11players, some of those Burnley attackers we've spoken about in
- 52:13the past. But Anthony, no, what's his
- 52:16name? Anthony.
- 52:16Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
- 52:18So I think some of those kind of interesting.
- 52:21Yeah, Yeah, West Ham is minus one O 2.
- 52:25So actually that means it's probably at.
- 52:27It's at. It must be at the.
- 52:29Up to part. London the Olympic Stadium,
- 52:32London, the Olympic Stadium and then Burnley is plus 285 with
- 52:37the dropping plus 245. I don't know about like this one
- 52:39either. Chico, do you feel the same?
- 52:42Way last time, yeah. No, I don't feel, I don't feel
- 52:44comfortable with Benny Young. Yeah.
- 52:47These wet this this white, this parlay isn't looking too good.
- 52:50Let's keep going. OK, next one.
- 52:53This is this might just be I might just pick this one so I
- 52:55can get AW under my belt. Chelsea versus Wolves, a
- 52:58manager, manager less Wolves. Can they bounce back?
- 53:01You're just I think you're excited.
- 53:02You're excited to start all the Chelsea assets, although they're
- 53:06always that. There is always that fear with
- 53:07this young Chelsea team that there could be some sort of slip
- 53:09up. You just drink yourself man.
- 53:12I just gotta say I'm trying to reverse drinks by saying it.
- 53:15That's how it works. I just know Enzo Fernandez.
- 53:19Enzo Fernandez is a go. Pedro Neto coming back to
- 53:23Wolves. Any starting?
- 53:26Any stories ago in my mind? Yeah, any starting?
- 53:29Chelsea, yeah. When the hell you?
- 53:31Don't think Chelsea, I'll pick Chelsea.
- 53:34After the break six weeks from a week and a half ago.
- 53:39You also skipped Arsenal. Sunderland game but not much to
- 53:42talk about there. Arsenal, everyone.
- 53:44Oh, you're right. Yeah, This is easy.
- 53:47Arsenal. Arsenal's only -250 Sunderland's
- 53:50plus 600. Actually.
- 53:51I don't know, man. Sunderland's are pretty good.
- 53:52They might cause some problems for Arsenal.
- 53:54That might be one that's like a little bit of a Nana Pele for
- 53:58Arsenal, I think. Arsenal.
- 54:00'S going to trample. These Arsenal's are so good.
- 54:03I mean, I guess, yeah. Yeah, I'm saying that I might,
- 54:06that might be a harder game. I think Arsenal still wins.
- 54:08I'm just saying that might be a harder game than it looks like
- 54:11on paper. I mean Sunderland, what if
- 54:12Sunderland would have won today where they would have gone in a
- 54:14second That you can't, you can just automatically discredit
- 54:17them. Bro, there's only, I think
- 54:19there's only five teams in the league that can trip Arsenal up.
- 54:25I just don't even, I, I think that like, I don't know, look at
- 54:28the odds. RSL is -250 that's like, that's
- 54:31like if this that that's obviously a big edge, but it's
- 54:34not like this dominant. It's not like, you know, like
- 54:38Chelsea's. Yeah, I guess Chelsea's -285
- 54:40against Wolves, I. Don't know.
- 54:42It could also because it's a it's on a strawberry Keith.
- 54:45I think that's my factor too. That's true.
- 54:50OK, so we talked about those two games.
- 54:52Christopher's Brighton. Oh, most of all.
- 54:56We've been talking about this is the this is the most interesting
- 54:58game to me in the week just after that really good
- 55:01performance from Brighton. How do they performing?
- 55:03It's this this Crystal Palace team that's been so good.
- 55:06Crystal Palace is plus 1/26 for the win.
- 55:08Brighton is +2 O 5 for the win. Crystal Palace.
- 55:11I think you just start everyone. You start all your players.
- 55:13I think that, you know, there's no, there's no, there's no
- 55:17insights here. I just wonder how busy the
- 55:20Palace defenders are going to be against this Bryant team.
- 55:22How busy are? They going to a while back,
- 55:24Yukuba Minta, I mean they, they have the talent, the spread team
- 55:28has the talent. But they go, Chris.
- 55:29Aston Villa, Bournemouth. Chris Richards.
- 55:32Yeah, I mean, he's he's been good.
- 55:34Aston Villa, Bournemouth, Bournemouth.
- 55:36I think this is an interesting one too.
- 55:38You like Villa here. I feel like after that loss,
- 55:40Henry was going crazy on the touchline.
- 55:42You mentioned how they played, played them differently.
- 55:44Maybe Henry just kind of out thought himself because prior to
- 55:46this they'd won four games in a row.
- 55:47Mm Hmm. Yeah.
- 55:49So. Most Bournemouth's last four.
- 55:52Bournemouth, I think it hasn't been as good.
- 55:54They've kind of, I mean with. They lost against city.
- 55:57Yeah, well, I'm pulling up their their five Lost against City,
- 56:02win against Forest Dragons Palace, win against Fulham,
- 56:05Dragons, Leeds. Oh.
- 56:08So a little bit of a mix. Mixed bag, yeah.
- 56:11But I mean, they're still incredible.
- 56:12They're still incredibly good. I see croupy scoring this game.
- 56:17You think he gets to start over Evan Nelson?
- 56:20Evan Nelson came back. I thought Creepy had he actually
- 56:23actually had a few good opportunities.
- 56:25So maybe that that'll be one that'll be something to keep an
- 56:28eye on. I mean, like Creepy or Evan
- 56:30Nelson like that, that's starting to become like it's not
- 56:32as it's it's not. I'm not 100% sure who starts at
- 56:35these games. I think Evan Nelson comes off
- 56:36the bench just to ease him back into it and then we'll see off
- 56:39that. Again, he comes off the bench
- 56:41again for for a second week in a row.
- 56:43Yeah. Are there any?
- 56:46Did I do the odds for this one or?
- 56:47No, I guess Palace is plus 146. Brighton is +2 O 5 and draws
- 56:52plus 250. Interesting.
- 56:56Interesting. You like Palace?
- 56:58Yeah, this is one of those ones. I think I'm like in that you
- 57:02mean, I mean a Villa. Sorry.
- 57:04I like always tell you guys are mixing up games.
- 57:06We're talking about Villa. Sorry.
- 57:07We're talking about Villa. Bournemouth.
- 57:09My bad. I like Villa is plus 1/18.
- 57:12Bournemouth is plus 2:30. I like Bournemouth in this one.
- 57:16Semenya has gone for a low dry spell.
- 57:18He's got he's going to light up a little bit this game.
- 57:22That's what I think. Villa Bournemouth, it's at Villa
- 57:25Park, it's tricky. There's a.
- 57:29There's a lot of tricky games this week, Brentford versus
- 57:32Newcastle. I mean, I would absolutely bet
- 57:34on Newcastle to win that game if I was, if I was promising that I
- 57:38wasn't going to bet on Newcastle for a while because I got to get
- 57:40off that. I got to wean myself off in
- 57:41Newcastle. What's the what's the odds on
- 57:43that one, Evan? New Bradford plus 190.
- 57:47Newcastle plus 142. So I'm guessing that it's at the
- 57:50Brentford Stadium. Yeah, it's probably.
- 57:52At yeah, it's at the G Tech yeah.
- 57:54So yeah, I mean, would you don't worry again, I don't I don't
- 58:02feel uncomfortable about not playing anyone in this game
- 58:04either because it's Bourne, new Newcastle.
- 58:07Has it been great like they, you know, and like the fact that
- 58:10like Anthony got pulled at half, Baltimore got pulled at half,
- 58:13like a little nervous about those.
- 58:15Guys did Baltimore. He hasn't scored the last two
- 58:17league games. Not in the last two league
- 58:20games, but he scored in. He scored in Middle League Cup
- 58:23in the Was it the League Cup? Yeah.
- 58:25Yeah, so Carabao I. Don't think it's, I don't think
- 58:27it's that big a deal. OK, Next 1/4 Leeds, you go to
- 58:32Newcastle. Yeah, I mean, I think you got to
- 58:34go to Newcastle, but I think that it's just, is it worth it
- 58:37at plus 142, you know, and that's the fact that they just
- 58:42lost to West Ham. It's your name.
- 58:45And they got your. Forest Leads and they got you up
- 58:48this week. Very true.
- 58:50So Forest Leads is the next game.
- 58:52I think this is interesting. We just saw Forest look a lot
- 58:55better, you know? We saw leads not look so good.
- 58:59Yeah, so Leeds is the Leeds is at plus 225 for us is at 1 +
- 59:04124. I'm a little nervous.
- 59:06Like I picked up Aronson 2 weeks ago after he had a few good
- 59:08games and he had put up that 19 pointer last week, so I was
- 59:11obviously going to start him this week and then he looked
- 59:12terrible. So he's probably going back on
- 59:14benches again. Yeah, because I don't, he's just
- 59:16not something that I trust, you know what I mean?
- 59:18I was like, I was following the points a little bit, but like
- 59:20he's not someone that I'm like I'm going to stick with.
- 59:23Yeah, he's someone I think a lot of those guys I'm a little weary
- 59:25of, you know? It's funny because I benched him
- 59:28for I've been to the Yari for him this week.
- 59:30So I picked him up and the Yari's been consistent.
- 59:33He scored 7/7 plus most games. So he's missed a consistency and
- 59:38point Aaron saying he only put one.
- 59:39I don't think we spoke enough about Brian's midfield.
- 59:41The Yari also he he puts up numbers.
- 59:43Yeah, but Leeds Forest, I saw a hard one mate.
- 59:49I'm not. I'm not really sure on it.
- 59:51Yeah, it's tough. It's a tough one.
- 59:52It's at the City Ground. So it's not really saying much.
- 59:55It's the, it's the, it's the bomb feeders and who's going to
- 59:58fucking come out on top? Yeah, those are tough games.
- 1:00:00And the last game of this, the last game of the week, isn't
- 1:00:02much better, too. It's Man City versus Liverpool
- 1:00:05that's the marquee matchup. 8:30 AM on Sunday.
- 1:00:09Where's the game? That game is at the end, and
- 1:00:14those odds are Man City. Man city's -118 Liverpool's plus
- 1:00:18280. Five.
- 1:00:19What the fuck? What a.
- 1:00:21Damn nightmares by that I'm surprised one of the nightmare.
- 1:00:25Back-to-back games for Liverpool ball against the Real Madrid and
- 1:00:31City. Yeah, they both play midweek,
- 1:00:34but like, I'm sure City will rest a few players or Liverpool
- 1:00:38will probably have to play their full squad, obviously.
- 1:00:41So yeah, it's an interesting one.
- 1:00:43I'm really shocked by that. Plus 285.
- 1:00:45I think that's like as much as I think that this game's 5050, if
- 1:00:49you're, if you're telling me this game's like 5050 or what,
- 1:00:523030, thirty, whatever with a draw, but then you're giving me
- 1:00:54plus 285 on Liverpool to win. I don't know.
- 1:00:59I'm not really surprised by that line is he's not Mike, no.
- 1:01:03No, he's not injured. Katiga has been great though.
- 1:01:06I mean, he obviously didn't score this week, but he did.
- 1:01:08He did score, but it got disallowed for offsides.
- 1:01:10But just look at the. Forms like how city.
- 1:01:13Yeah, go on. I know you're saying to you guys
- 1:01:14Liverpool has been losing games. Yeah, I hate you, but it's not.
- 1:01:19It's Liverpool versus Holland. Shut down.
- 1:01:21Shut down the whole thing. Yeah, but they haven't been able
- 1:01:24to shut down anybody else. So Rodri might be playing.
- 1:01:28Yeah, you're right. But that means that's good for
- 1:01:31me. If Rodri plays, that means
- 1:01:32Reindeer Games gets to play a little bit fucking further up as
- 1:01:36you actually play some football that he knows.
- 1:01:38You're like you have like a love hate relationship with Rinders.
- 1:01:41He's like, you're most like love hate guy this year.
- 1:01:45You love to. Yeah, Tito loves to hit or not.
- 1:01:48Sorry, Enzo. Enzo loves to hit him.
- 1:01:49I love to hit him, but I like. Oh yeah, should we make a bat?
- 1:01:53Yeah, go on. Yeah, should we make a bat?
- 1:01:56I'm not feeling good or anything, so I'm just going to
- 1:01:58go Chelsea, Chelsea -35 Chelsea versus world.
- 1:02:01Chelsea -25 I'm trying to get a win.
- 1:02:03I'm trying to get a winner under our belts, boys all.
- 1:02:06Right, I'm going Newcastle. Newcastle plus 142.
- 1:02:10Yeah. I'm assuming Sergei is going
- 1:02:12Arsenal probably. I'm just going to put, I'm going
- 1:02:15to put it in there. Can you?
- 1:02:17I can't say the notes, can you? What do you say?
- 1:02:19No, it's. ERC just let me see what he put.
- 1:02:22He said give me Bournemouth. He said give me Bournemouth plus
- 1:02:25230. Wow, you guys OK all.
- 1:02:30Right, then I'll take you. You guys.
- 1:02:32Oh, that's Arsenal. I can't even say night in the
- 1:02:35start again. He's been doing well.
- 1:02:36That's that's plus 1410. So it's Bournemouth plus 230
- 1:02:40Newcastle United plus 142, arsenal -250, Chelsea -285
- 1:02:45that's risking 40 to win 564 bucks.
- 1:02:49Oh. Shit, that's all we need, baby.
- 1:02:51That's all we need. The guys back on track.
- 1:02:53All right, We're so back. I'm I'm placing the guy right
- 1:02:56now. Best.
- 1:02:58That place. All right, all right.
- 1:03:01This has been episode 111 of Draft Offsides.
- 1:03:03My name is Keith. I'm Tiko Enzo.

- 1:04:10get Nate on the part next week? What do you think?

- 1:04:43unfortunately, I'm only trying to up the up the competitive
- 1:04:46level. No, I'm not trying to bring it

- 1:05:31weeks. I'm sending the misses to
