• 0:01
  Speaker 1: We're still reminding Jewels of game week seven, but fortunately
• 0:04
  Speaker 1: for him, FPL is almost back. We review internationals, remind
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: you of some early season suspensions, and there's a lot
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: of love for Phil Foden, But is he really a differential? Hello,
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: welcome back to an international break. Well, it's not really
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: an international break anymore, is it. It's actually a preview podcast.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: I never know how to introduce these international break pods
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: because my favorite way to introduce them is to normally
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: just how much Jewels about his.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: Last week's score? If you do it again?
• 0:31
  Speaker 3: Do it again?
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: Can we do it with two pods in a row?
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: Jeels?
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that makes your happy? Cares. I just want you
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: to be happy, that's all.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, good morning to Run and good morning to Sam
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Bond Film and something. We can keep talking about your
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: good start to the season in your last game week
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: if you want as well.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's talk about last week's more.
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: It was great. Yeah.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: So that's what I like about an international break. If
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: you go into it of for good week, it's longer
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: to reflect on it. I mean, I didn't have that
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: good a week. I don't wan't get that excited. How's
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: your international break?
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Bin, Jews.
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: Very good, thank you. I was in France a lot
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: of traveling, but yeah, it was it was good. And
• 1:04
  Speaker 4: we know now there's only one more to go in November, obviously,
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: and then we'll have a long non international break, so
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: that's pretty good.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: I'm just going to get this out of the way
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: quickly for the benefit of myself and Sam. George, you
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: were very excited about England's two big games over the
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: international break. Do you want to mention the first result,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: just to get.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: It out of the way.
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: Surely England could not have lost the be of the
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: nation's league. That's not possible. Well down to Greece, really
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: well on to Greece, especially after the passing obviously, George
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: bulldog who we you know, we think of obviously, so
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: good good win for them, for Semikas for example, for
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: the players who play in the Premier League from that
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: Greek team, and for England at least now you've got
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: a permanent manager in place. Let's hope that it does
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: better than you know, what the old guy did in
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: that game against Greece.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: I can spend the whole time talking about England and
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: the new manager, but let's bring it back around. So
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: what we're all here for FPL and the FPL Podsam,
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: How has your international break been when it comes to
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: FPL as well, how much of your time has been
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: taken up planning with your team.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: I don't even need to ask that to way you
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: too much.
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I like to.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: I do like to take the first week of international
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: break kind of off unless I'm wild carding.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Of course you're not wildcarding though, because you've locked it
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: in for a few weeks time.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: Correct, I'm not wild carding. Yeah, I didn't think about it.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: I thought for a minute we were your face then
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: told yeah, didn't it. I thought for a minute you
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: tooded me and Jeles we looked you in the iron
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: versus last week.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: No, I did not. I did think about it. I
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: think I told you that last week, Like I did.
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: I did seriously think about it. But I just don't
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: feel like my team is like I really like it
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: looks nice for this week, so we'll see. I think
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: Game week twelve is probably where I'm looking at. But
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: the first week of international break I kind of try
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: and take not off, but just let my team be
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: for a bit because there's so much that can happen
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: with injuries and that kind of thing over the break
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: that you want to give yourself time to or any
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: players that might potentially get her injured whatever are dealable
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: with later on. So this is week now where it
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: kind of starts ramping up for me, and I'm like
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: paying real close attention to what the managers are going
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: to be saying in their press conferences.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: Okay, Well, I said last week that it's often a
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: popular time to wildcard during an international break, and that
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: we expected the number that we were on last Wednesday
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: to go up. It's a week on Thursday later, eight
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: days later, and we're now on one hundred and fifteen
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: thousand wildcards.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Just over that number, we've.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: Got over sixty thousand triple captains active, thirty eight thousand
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: three hits and almost thirty eight thousand bench boosts as well.
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: In terms of the wild card, do we still expect
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: that to rise?
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: Would you say, Sam? I mean it's gone up what
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: forty five thousand in the last week. It might go
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: up a little bit more, yeah, but I don't think
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: it will go up hugely. I think most people that
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: are or were thinking about it will have played it already,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: unless we get confirmation of big players being out after
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: the international break, that might change things, but I suspect
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: we won't see too many more.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: Now, mister international, it's time for your international break ground up.
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: What do we need to know?
• 3:58
  Speaker 4: God? Then we see some players didn't go on international
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: break because they had a niggle like a Kai have
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: as for example, like Garnage Show, Maze.
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: Is is that just a little as I have a Zonner?
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: Is it just a little niggle? Is he going to
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: be okay this weekend? Things?
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: Doctor?
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: I know, I think somewhere a bit more diplomatic. Let's say,
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: let's put it that way. Percent we had that in
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: other countries to not just from the premier league to
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: the national team, but it happened a lot in this
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: international break where because there was just not fully fit
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: of fully one hundred percent their clubs, the priyers themselves said, like,
• 4:32
  Speaker 4: you know what, it's probably better if I missed this
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: one out. So between that and we can also name Ruter,
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: Ramsey adingra Manua said garnad Show, plus some who picked
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: up little niggles during the international break during the first game,
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: LIKEAKA or Brandon Johnson and Martin Elli. So we need
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: to keep an eye on them. We saw another girl
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: from a Reminez lovely freaky with Mexico against the US.
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: We saw another girl from Branon Johnson. That's seven and
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: seven n if you can't ald competitions for him. Van
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: Ike was suspended for the second game of the Dirge,
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: didn't stay and came back to Liverpool early. Sam. With Mosala,
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: we still have the travelers obviously. Louis Dias, who played
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: twice with Columbia and scored in one of the two games,
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: just came back basically as we record this show. Same
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: with Paketa, who only played forty five minutes in the
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: two Brazil games. Can Magarets, on the other hand, played
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: the two full nineteen minutes for Brazil as well. Brunogi
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: Marish also played. Edison played the two games. So yeah,
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: as always, the South Americans coming back quite late. A
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: lot of them from the Premer league have played quite
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: a lot, to be fair, so that's also to be
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: kept in mind for the weekend.
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: Let's just pick up on a few of those injuries
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: that you mentioned, because there's a couple of popular players
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: in the game. Brennan Johnson, Sam, was it just a
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: precautionary sub do you think.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: I think so, yeah, And he was obviously suspended for
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: the second game anyway, so we didn't really get much
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: of an insight into how serious that was, but it
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: seemed like it was precautionary in that substitution in the
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: first game, So certainly, as a Spurs fan, I'm hoping
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: that he's fine for the game on Saturday time.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: Let's be honest.
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: You're a Spurs fan and a big Brennan Johnson fan,
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: and one week you will eventually get him in your
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: team because you've been ironing up for films like Forever
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: iron Up, I think from when you scored that first
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: goal and now he's on the seven.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: And it's ridiculous, isn't it. It's like me, Brennan Johnson
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: and Liam de Lap, the three of us together.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: It was together, all in separate boats, just looking longingly
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: each other.
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: Before you.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a terrible love triangle where I never do
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: anything about it, really, but yeah, the pair of them
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: are players that I definitely want in and the injury
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: I don't think, well, I don't think it's a serious one.
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: Plus Posta Coglu is very honest in his press conferences,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: so I'm sure that we'll hear exactly what's up with Brennan,
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: if anything from him on Friday.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Posta Coglu very honest, Michael Arteta the Polar Rock, Jules,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: if you're going to tell us about have it So,
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: I think your assessment of Sacer might be better than
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: the one that Arteta will give us on Friday. What
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: are we thinking about him?
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: Don't look great?
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so I think for Hads again, like we said,
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: didn't feel fully fit before the time short break, so
• 7:00
  Speaker 4: decided not to go with Germany, which as we said,
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: has happened a lot, so you can understand. I think
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: after two weeks without playing really because he had treatment
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: and train and etcetera, try, I think have It should
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: be fine for Socca. I don't know. It looked like
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: he was holding the back of his thigh, wasn't it
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: his arm strength? Yeah, he came off for England, which
• 7:20
  Speaker 4: is never a good sign. But again he didn't play
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: the second game, and by then, since that Grease game,
• 7:24
  Speaker 4: he could have had some good treatment and recovered for
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: this game. The only thing I would say again is
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: that for Arsenal it's not obviously just about this game.
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: At the weekend, we're Borne with which is not in
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: his game. But after that there's Champions League that is back,
• 7:37
  Speaker 4: and then there's the Liverpool game the following Sunday. So again,
• 7:40
  Speaker 4: if there's a risk to take, do you take it
• 7:43
  Speaker 4: with SACA really considering that? Then you've got Champions League
• 7:46
  Speaker 4: plus a massive game against Liverpool at the Emirates only
• 7:49
  Speaker 4: eight days later, so that's what they will also take
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: in consideration.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: The only thing I would say is Saker is he
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: does have this remarkable way of always making himself fit
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: un available, doesn't he. I'm not saying obviously, if he's injured,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: he's injured, And like you said, there is any doubt
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: you'd think they might look at the other games and
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: not prioritize them, but just bear in mind the whole schedule.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: But yeah, Saka does seem to just always get himself fit,
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: doesn't He's incredible.
• 8:12
  Speaker 4: To me, I mean, and Babbi is very similar. They
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: seems to recover even when it's a little niggor de
• 8:16
  Speaker 4: physology makes them very very strong.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: So yeah, yeah, Okay, we'll keep an eye out on
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: our teta's press conference, which is normally early afternoon Friday.
• 8:25
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Then the other thing the international break gives us the
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: opportunity to do as we said last week was kind
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: of assess our teams where we're at, maybe plan forward,
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: and one of the things that we will do as
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: well as looking at the fixture swings, which by the way,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: you can go and listen back to last week's podcast
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: where we do discuss those, but we may also look
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: at our team strategies. And one of the things that
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Sam in particular, I know, gets asked about a lot
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: is how she manages her team, how she plans things,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: how she comes up with the decisions that she does make.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: So Sam, I'll let you start this because I know
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: from following you on Instagram and the followers and the
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: community you've got it is some thing that people are
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: so desperate to understand the logic that you apply to
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: be successful in FBL Jews will pretend that he's got
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: all of this, of course, because of his notebook.
• 9:07
  Speaker 4: I mean, he's all redn here in my gal planning
• 9:10
  Speaker 4: and bad it's.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: Sam, He's about to copy down everything that I. Yeah,
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: I think for me, I I tried to look at
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: it two three, four weeks at a time, and part
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: of the reason sometimes it backfires, right, and you have
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: players that you think I'd really like them for this week,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: and then you don't get them because longer term it
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: doesn't fit your strategy. So, for example, one of the
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: reasons I didn't get Liam de Lapp that week that
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: I was talking about him on here was because I
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: knew the week after I'd want to go to Dominic Selanky,
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: and I just didn't want to use the transfer twice
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: on the same player.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: It felt like that would restrict the.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Way that my team was looking and probably would have
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: forced me into selling players like Holli Watkins earlier, maybe
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: than I would have wanted. So for me, I tried
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: to think about transfers two, three, four weeks at a time.
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: At the moment, I'm thinking about players that will sit
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: nicely on my him up to game week twelve, because
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: that's the point that I'm currently planning to world cards,
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: So it makes sense to look at them in that
• 10:07
  Speaker 2: little block of time and think, well, which ones are
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: going to be the best ones to own for the
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: foreseeable rather than just in the short term.
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: Colin Joe's you take over now you've got all of
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: your piles of wisdoms.
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: I mean sim just said, well, I was about to
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: say nonsense as much as you can because also it's
• 10:28
  Speaker 4: not easy. It's some for you you used to do
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: it now, but for a lot of normal people like us,
• 10:33
  Speaker 4: like me and Kles, you have to come with you. No,
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: it's true because you also have And that's the next
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: one I was making. You also need to follow your
• 10:44
  Speaker 4: feelings and your got feelings about player. And we're not
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: going to go back on squaw cold this morning as
• 10:49
  Speaker 4: well here in London. But you know with your cold
• 10:51
  Speaker 4: palmer pig not big, etcetera, etcetera. There's also that so yes,
• 10:55
  Speaker 4: look at the picture. If you've got a player that
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: play three of the bottom teams back to back instead
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: of three of the top teams back to back, then
• 11:03
  Speaker 4: you know that he's more likely to return for you.
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: So this obviously is a massive power how you look
• 11:09
  Speaker 4: after your team and assescial team, but also what you
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: feel if there's trends like a Brandon Johnson for example.
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: Momentum is big in football, There's always been, so if
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: somebody is on a roll and scoring or doing really well,
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: you know that there's a massive change that you can
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: keep that going on. So this is also what you
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: have to look for, not just at the schedule, but
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: the schedule is obviously very important in.
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: Terms of when you're planning and playing. Oh, you've played
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: your world, Cord. I was about to ask you when
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: your planing your world cut, Jules, I remembered, because I
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: was thinking one of my plan mine, but I've played
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: mine as well.
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: Have you looked at chips at this.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: Honestly, I'm very tired, I reckon, I had three hours
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: sleep last night. Have you looked at when you might
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: play your remaining chips at this point, Jeels? Or are
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: you kind of pausing that thought and save it for
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: later in the season, Sam smiling, She knows.
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: What the answer is going to be to this, what
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: you mean, No, she knows that a sole planned obviously,
• 11:57
  Speaker 4: so it's definitely it is plan the plan. Remember the
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: recipe for last season amazing? So sass, shall I remind
• 12:06
  Speaker 4: you that I finished obviously four thousand not like a
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: bit of a bit of luck at times, but everybody
• 12:11
  Speaker 4: needs a bit of luck to be fair everywhere, you know, everywhere? Yeah,
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: the triple captain is typically waiting for double game work,
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: hopefully for earling Harland. Even if we know that this
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: season because of the way the Cup is going to
• 12:23
  Speaker 4: be played here in England, there might be less it's
• 12:26
  Speaker 4: less likely that we'll have loads of double game weeks
• 12:30
  Speaker 4: with the past. So this is again to bear in mind.
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: And I think the free hit is the other one
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: that really could before the mystery one that is going
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: to come up at some point and we don't know
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: what it is. For the free hits again, I think
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: I wait a little bit later to play.
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: Yeah, SAMs me really, Sam?
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: Is it?
• 12:47
  Speaker 3: Is it the same for you?
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: Now?
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: Don't tell me she's got a triple caps in active
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: and she's forgotten.
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: No, but I think I might play next week, okay,
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Alan Harlan at home to Southampton. It's pretty nice to yeah,
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: And I just think that, you know, we know that
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: with the changes in the way the FA Cup is
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: this year, that we're going to see less blanks and
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: less doubles for players. So when we come to inter
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: next season, if we're talking next year, sorry, if we're
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: talking about when the free hit and the bench boost
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: might go, and when you might use the second world card,
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: all of those stuff you would normally want to happen
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: in and around double game week as well. Now, in reality,
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: are we going to get enough double game weeks to
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: make it so that you can play your bench boost
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: in one and you can play your triple captain in
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: the other on players that you would actually want to
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: play that chip on rather than just you know, I
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: don't want it to be played on a I don't know,
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: a double game week for a player that I don't
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: particularly want a triple captain. Whereas I look at the
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: way that the fixtures have been going this year against
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: some of these teams, and the fact that and in
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: Harla we've already seen the managers who triple captained him
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: when he got his hat tricks had significant rank rise
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: out of that. And I'm looking at game week nine
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: thinking this to be an opportunity to play that chip,
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: have it done so that then come January, when we
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: know what the mystery chip is, I can factor that
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: into the equation as well, because if that's a chip
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: that you also want to play in a double game week,
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: we might easily run out of doubles in order to
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: fit all of these chips into So there is a
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: good chance I think that when we're next record together,
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: my shopper catching hip will be active.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: It's a good point, isn't it actually that if you
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: with triple captain, you do almost want to play the
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: best player. The way I look at it, if you
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: want to play one of the best players in the game,
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: probably Earling Harland with the best fixture, and if right
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: now you pick the best fixture it probably would be
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: Southampton at home. Jewels will be tempted.
• 14:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, I think it makes sense. The only
• 14:40
  Speaker 4: thing is used. Even if we said there would be
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: less blanks and less that would gain with this season,
• 14:45
  Speaker 4: then we saw in the past there might still be
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: a City in Highland, and then in that case, obviously
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: it would make a lot of sense to playing them
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: because the guy will have two games to play instead
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: of just one, even if it's against Southampton. So it's
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: the risk and rewards which makes the game so cool
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: and so great is that you can play next week
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: and it's likely that against you had you would expect City,
• 15:08
  Speaker 4: even if again they will be Champions League in between
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: and all of that, but you would expect them to
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: have fun on that afternoon and Earli Haland at the
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: heart of it. So yeah, it sounds like a good
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: idea to be fun.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: One of My favorite things that Sam I think has
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: written on this script this week is do we consider
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: what each other might do when we're making our transfer decisions?
• 15:28
  Speaker 4: Oh, it's called really cool.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: She wasn't because I also wasn't doing what you guys
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: were doing. You guys didn't have Cole Palmer. I wasn't
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: copying you. I was taking your stupid advice. That's a
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: good question because in the past, I mean, obviously I've
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: talked for about being sheep FC in the past I have,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: and I think there's an element, isn't there. The fun
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: of FPL is being in mini leagues and you're trying
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: to beat them, So you'd almost be stupid not to
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: be thinking about what others are doing. Because Jewels, I
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: know you often like to go against the grain quite
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: a lot, don't you. Like when we were talking about
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: my World card, you were saying, will have this player
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: because other people don't, so you can you can get
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: gains on them. So I think we all, even if
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: we don't want to admit it, Sam, I think we
• 16:13
  Speaker 1: all consider what each other might do when making on transfers.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: And if you don't, I think it's a bit weird.
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: The first thing I do when the deadline passes, check
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: what you two have done and whether you've actually done
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: the thing but you said you were going to do
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: on this podcast, I normally have sometimes you go, Rogan
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: do something else as well, and I'm like, that's random,
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: Where did that come from?
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: My second minus four?
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: Je always never does what he says, whatever he says
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: he's going to do, But yeah, I do I And like,
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: at the back end of last season, all I did
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: was try and chase you too, and made random decisions
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: on that basis because I had to think a bit
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: outside the box and try and catch up, and in
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: reality that it went incredibly badly at the back end
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: of last season, all of the captaincies against Harlan and
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: transfers for players that were a bit different to the norm,
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: just to try to find a bit of momentum, whereas
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: this year, I'm kind of trying to play it a
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: little bit differently and just go back to playing it
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: my way. So obviously I'm watching what you two are doing,
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: but I'm not making decisions based upon the players that
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: you've got in your teams. I'm still fully focused on
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: just bringing in the players that I think are best.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: But I do pay close attention to it.
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: Also, it's early to play that kind of strategy and
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: the tactics of maybe later down the road.
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: You remember Jewels when Sam got really obsessed with what
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: Ian was doing at the end of our season.
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean the case you and I we were
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: aware above and them to wear.
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: Like really, I couldn't even see them, could we so
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: far down?
• 17:40
  Speaker 4: Couldn't could not that many people could actually see them
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: because they were behind everybody's I.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: Was watching on YouTube, I'm looking down, I've got my binoculars.
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: I couldn't quite see them. I don't mention this, but
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: but later on, later on, when you have your rank
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: to protect, for example, and people and you know that
• 18:01
  Speaker 4: people around you or in your mini league, which is
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: the easiest way because on the on the overall ranking
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: it's really hard to judge, I think, but on your
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: mini league certainly you know where people are and you
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: know who you want to beat as well, let's be honest.
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: So sometimes this is when I think the strategy and
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: the tactics of copying a little bit, or just it's
• 18:19
  Speaker 4: not copying, it's getting players that other people have. So
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: if they have a great weekend, then everybody benefits from
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: it and you're not left behind basically, And so yeah,
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: I think, but that's maybe later down in the season,
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: not so much so early, like after five games.
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: Okay, let's take a look back then, bring it back
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: to the here and now and look at game week.
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: As I mentioned, you can listen back to last week's podcast.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: Still plenty of info in there that will be useful
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: for this game week, of course, and we did look
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: at fixture swings and had a slightly longer term view
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: on the season. But let's just focus in on this
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: game week and kind of the best team I suppose
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: Sam and who the top picks are, because when I
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: look at the fixtures, there's some there's some quite exciting
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: ones in here where if you can target certain teams
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: you could get bigg returns.
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: I mean, I certainly think that Harlan feels essential this
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: week and if you don't have him, you should be
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: trying to find a way to get him in Aware
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: Wolves aren't they this weekend? Yeah, and it does also
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: feel like an opportunity, doesn't it. Like Wolves they've really
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: struggled defensively this season so far, like the clean sheets
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: just haven't been their goals conceded. It's been a lot.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: And as we said last week, if you are bringing
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: them in, don't expect any points this week. Before anyone
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: starts shouting at us, going but you said bring Wolves in,
• 19:29
  Speaker 1: we won't bring it in for this fixture, were we No.
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: We said after the Man City game the Wolves fixtures
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: massively turn for the best show and at that point
• 19:36
  Speaker 2: they're going to be looking at that set of fixtures
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: and thinking this is an opportunity for us to get
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: points on the board, get ourselves up the Premier League table,
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: because Wolves are a far better team than their current
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: Premier League position suggests that they are. But they have
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: had a horrendous start to the season in terms of
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: the teams that they've faced. I don't think this week's
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: going to go particularly well for them. I don't think
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: they'll enjoy having Man City visit them. But I think
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: for us as FBR managers, it is opportunity because Harlan
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: he's still not as highly owned as he was last season,
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: then because of the price tag, is unlikely to ever
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: get that high again. But like Phil Foden, is a
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: huge differential and if you want to take a bit
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: of a pump this week and invest in a further
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: Manchester City asset. Then it could be a really good
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: moment to do it, especially given that it's Southampton the
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: week after, so there'd be one of the topics for
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: this week, But then again they would be for Gaming
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: nine as well.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Manchester City.
• 20:28
  Speaker 1: Would you look at Manchester City defender at the moment?
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: It's difficult, isn't it, Because I think most people I
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: think you've got Rico Lewis, haven't you Kells? Yeah, and
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: I think most people probably would go there because of
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: the price point. But actually in the last couple of weeks,
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: Vardi Ohl has been back to kind of the attacking
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: threat because if we've had some slight changing of positions
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: where he's paid Carl Walker and Rico Lewis then more
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: essentrally in the midfield rather than out in the defensive positions,
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: and when he's moved Rico Lewis, he's then allowed Fardiel
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: to get further forward like we saw at the back
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: end of last season. The question for me is do
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: you want to spend that level of money on a
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: City defender because they aren't keeping cling cheats and you
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: would want that against teams like Wolves in Southampton, I
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: don't think so. I think my gut feeling is to
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: stay away from the Man City defenders because I think
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: if you want to take a pun, somebody like Phil
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: Foden would probably be where I would look.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Which are the teams and players would you target in
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: on this week toos so.
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: Amongst the one that we mentioned, there's Mosala obviously the
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: big game this weekend in the Liverpool Chelsea game, and
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: considering this suspension at Chelsea, we think that young Vega
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: is going to play a left back, which obviously we'll
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: have to defend directly against Mosalah, which if you have Salah,
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: if you were looking to invest on Salah, and we
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: said the fixtures are difficult are as Chelsea and then
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: there's ars Pro just in the next two games, and
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: Mosalah hasn't been really great. I know he've returned a
• 21:47
  Speaker 4: couple of times in the last four games, but also
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: blank twice in the last four game weeks, so not
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: as best maybe, but this could be a weekend where
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: against such a young player inexperienced Mosala and against a
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: very attack in Chelsea side too can be very good.
• 22:04
  Speaker 4: So I think I would keep Saladson if you have him,
• 22:06
  Speaker 4: don't get rid just now, so only not before this
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: Chelsea game. And if you don't have him, and we're
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: thinking about maybe, as we said, rotating your other premium
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: with Saka and Palmer and that conundrum that we discussed
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: in the last two shows, then maybe you could still
• 22:20
  Speaker 4: do it. And with Palmer against Liverpool again, for the
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: people who have him, I think he's going to be
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: a very very open game. Even if you expect Liverpool
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: to control it because they're also at home. I still
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: think there will be chances for Chelsea to score because
• 22:33
  Speaker 4: of the way they just attack, attack all the time.
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: So it could be interesting for Palmer too. Son injured,
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: k you be injured for then some mentioned and only
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: what Kins I thought had a decent international break. He
• 22:42
  Speaker 4: came on against Finland, did really well, brought a lot
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: of pace to the England attack. Give the assist to
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: decline rights on his goals. So for what Kins and Vela,
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: who we mentioned last week in the game that we played,
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: you keep, do you sell him? Do you buy him?
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: I think he's still on good form.
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: I can't believe well, I think he chows. You briefly
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: mentioned Son, but we haven't mentioned and twelve thirty kickoff
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: Sam and no that puts you off immediately. But west
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: Ham at home. This is one of the nice fixtures
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: in this nice run for Spurs, isn't it.
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just be warned of everybody that I'm going, and generally
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: when I go, Spurs don't play huge grain, so just
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: take that as a warning. Yeah it is. It's a
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: nice fixture and it's a fixture that Spurs would expect,
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: would expect her to win in front of the home crowd.
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: It'll be interesting to see what the update is on Sun.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: He posted some backson comments on his socials over the
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: international break, so we'll be interesting to see if he's
• 23:36
  Speaker 2: a fit and available to play this one on Saturday lunchtime.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean I certainly think that if you've
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: got a Brennan Johnson, James Madison, Don Slanke, if you've
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: got even the defenders, you know Romero, although did go
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: long and played a lot of minutes on the international break,
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: Van de Venn also played both games full nineties for
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: the Netherlands.
• 23:56
  Speaker 3: Orthough don't have to travel so.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: Far of course, and Pedro Poro also got the four
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: nineties for Spain this international break, so there's been a
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: lot of minutes in the Spurs legs over the international break.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: But I think if you've got any of them, they
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: look like really nice options this week. West Ham defensively
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: have not been solid so far this season and Spurs
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: are very attacking in the way that they play. So
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: I think that there's goals in this one for Spurs
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: and they look like really nice options. Brennan Johnson, as
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: long as ruled fair, I think he'll be another really
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: popular by post and just press conference this week.
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: Jeels, Are you nervous about not having any Spurs because
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: I am a little bit for this run. They're a
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: team that I'm targeting.
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, me too. That's the amongst the transfer that could
• 24:34
  Speaker 4: be done. I've got three free transfers for this game
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: work as well, which is good. Brandon Johnson especially if
• 24:40
  Speaker 4: I can make that work, could lose Eesky too, because
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: I know Ban Johnson has the goals now, and we
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: said he scored seven in seven in competitions, which is
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: pretty amazing. Really the run, and it's again in each game.
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: It's not like he's called four and then blank for three.
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: It's like one in each of his last seven games,
• 24:55
  Speaker 4: which is incredible really, both in the League, the League
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: Cup and also with wal so Is. If he's fit
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: and he's playing, he is the one that really of
• 25:05
  Speaker 4: dispersed at tag more than SOLANKI maybe because I'm happy
• 25:08
  Speaker 4: with Havard's Nicol Jackson and haland the front so I
• 25:10
  Speaker 4: would not I know, so like he can do well
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: and now he's also scored two and two, but I'm
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: happy with the front three that I have. However, in midfield,
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: I think I could find a space for Brian Johnson,
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: so I'm going to try to make that one work.
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: So I'm just confirmed.
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: Who have you got?
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: You've just got Silanky, haven't you. At the moment I say,
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: just like it's a bad thing, it's a good thing.
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: I got Pegro Poro as well. Oh yeah, of course,
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: so doubled up on Spurs, still got Pedro Poro. Yeah.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: Pedro Poro is one of those players that every week
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: I look at and when I'm thinking I'd like to
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: free up some money, He's the player I look at
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: and go, you could free up some money. And actually
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: that is one of the things I've been thinking about
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: over international break and we'll talk about this moment we
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: get to transfers later. But if I take money out
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: of Pedro Poro, I can then start thinking about upgrading
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: Harry Winks and having then a proper front ee. But
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: that would be like minus fours in order to do that,
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: because you'd have to take the money out of Pedro
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: and then move it into the midfield. And I don't
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: really want to take him minus four. When I look
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: at my team this week, it does look nice, So
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: I think longer term that will be my strategy will
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: be to take take Poro out and rather than be
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: investing in the Spurs defense, well, I'll either go to
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: Van der Venn or more likely I'll probably go to
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: eight Norrie and try and cover that Wolves period. That's
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: really nice, and then instead of having two Spurs, one
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: in defense and one in attack, have the two most
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: attacking Spurs assets in terms of a midfielder. And then
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: it's lanky.
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: That's what we talk about when we talk about planning.
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: Jeels exactly.
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: I'm exactly, but she is also she's finally listening to you,
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: by the way, and she's selling Poro after weeks of
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: you Spurs.
• 26:45
  Speaker 3: Events, so she's still clinging on one more week.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: He's going to get me a goal this weekend and
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: then that's going to be my parting. That's my gift
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: from him.
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: But also to be fair, selling him ahead of west
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: Ham at home, of all the fixtures, you can hold
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: him for that fixture, can't you. Really? It's not like
• 27:00
  Speaker 1: he's playing Arsenal away or Travelings yet he had.
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, look if I sell him and downgrades him
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: to well financially, downgrade him to eight Norrie stop a week,
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: is it I'm going to be getting eight Norri against
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: Man City, which feels horrific. But also I can't do
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: anything about that, so I'll just have that money just
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: sitting in the bank and nothing to do with it
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: until next week. Because I don't want to take a
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: minus four, So why not just allow Poro to bring
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: me a nice clean sheet and a couple of goals
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: and all of the bonus points and all of that
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: this week against west Ham and then next week with
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: two free transfers, make those changes so that I can
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: then make the upgrades elsewhere.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: Bournemouth versus Arsenals intrigues me a bit, Jewels, because you
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: sat there last week and I understand. You both said
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: to me, well, you're not going to sell some meno
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: and I know you want to sell him jewels as well,
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: and I was like, I know, it's a tough run
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: of fixtures, but actually Arsenal at home. I just think
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: sometimes Bournemouth do get themselves really up for things under
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: the lights, the late kickoff on Saturday at the vitatality selling.
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: That's why I'm not too worried about having him. He's
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: Bournemous star player as well, and I feel like he'll
• 28:04
  Speaker 1: potentially step up. But I'm a bit confused about that
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: fixture because I can't see Arsenal going there and winning
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: five nil. I can see Bournemouth. I can see Bournemouth
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: really putting up a fight. And it also depends a
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: lot on these injuries. I say with Inversey Commas for us, No, no.
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: You're right, you're right. It's more that after us on
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: his villain city for Bournemouth. So those three games, as
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: you said, are really really difficult. And again when we
• 28:28
  Speaker 4: said about planning or certainly looking ahead for everybody who
• 28:31
  Speaker 4: plays in the game, yeah, of course you can have
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: a player for this game week because you just fancy
• 28:35
  Speaker 4: him as we said, and you've got feelings or he's
• 28:36
  Speaker 4: been in great form, but you also need to look
• 28:38
  Speaker 4: at who they're facing, not just this weekend, but also
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: at least again we've or two ahead, and that's really tough.
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: I think for Bournemouth, obviously, I think the menu because
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: we said he's got some amazing starts in terms of
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: shots that he takes during the game, some of the
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: highest in the league. So clearly he puts himself in
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: really good positions in the bogs. Outside the bogs, he
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: has loved already, shoots a lot all of that, which
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: is great for the game. I just I just think
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: if I want to find space in my midfield unfortunately,
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: and I kind of grade Harry Wings for example, then
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: then somebody has to go really for me to bring
• 29:14
  Speaker 4: in a Koodoo and Johnson or whoever it is. So
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: I think it could be.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: Some I hate the idea of you having Brendan Johnson
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: and your team.
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: That will really upset me.
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: When just because you said that I'm going to make
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: sure that he's then when you check out teams are
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: like eleven or five Saturday morning, you see him and
• 29:29
  Speaker 4: you went, oh.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: Man, that will really it will trigger me all the way. Yeah, massively.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: It bothered me massively the other week when they brought
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: him in and I was like, ah, because I know
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: how good he'll be. Yeah, because I know how good
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: he is, and how I was like, this is going
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: to really hurt because as a spurs for I want
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: to celebrate that goal. And then knowing that it hurts
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: me an fpl that is one of the the things
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: upsets me that are you writing down bring Brendon Johnson
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: in just to annoy ound.
• 29:55
  Speaker 4: I'm just I'm just I'm just looking that I don't
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: even need to write down because I know I knew
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: I wanted to do it even before you said that.
• 30:01
  Speaker 4: Now that I know he's going to trigger you even more,
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: that's it's definitely happening. It's definitely happening.
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: What is right.
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: And to be fair, he's still a differential, isn't it.
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: He's still only owned by less than ten percent now yeah, he's.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: Only six point six million as well.
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: It's made. I can't I just tw in front of
• 30:19
  Speaker 4: your eyes at the stadium, Sam.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Sam, I can't quite get so I can't get some
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: menu to Brenda Johnston. I don't have enough in my
• 30:28
  Speaker 1: but I'm probably going to do Diaz to Johnson. I
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: don't know, as you call it.
• 30:34
  Speaker 4: Two triggers is the word for two triggers, double triggers.
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: Can you be double triggered?
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you can, but she is.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, right, let's move on.
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: Let's say you get mcmill instead, Kelly.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: I've already called, however, some players in my team. I've
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: got to some players I do not need to be
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: trebled up on. Everything is not going to save my season. No,
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: if I bring in McNeil, I will be. So I've
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: got Michaelko on the bench and Dominic Calvert Leewin's also
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: in my team.
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: Well, forgot you had to Corma moving on.
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: Also, I might wait a week, depending on a few
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: press conferences stuff. I need to sort my team out.
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: I really regret my wild card, but I'll either do
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: Diaz to Johnson or oh yeah, I really regret it,
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: all right, I regretted it from the moment. I like
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: the deadline past at eleven am.
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: That's Saturday.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: I'll either wait a week. I know ady transfers in
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: a bit, I'll wait a week. And I like the
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: idea of having three transfers like usuals, because you can
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: just do so much more with your team. If I
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: do that, I can then move Dominic, Calvert, Lewins, se
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: Menu and Diaz on and kind of readiggle things around,
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: whereas this week it will just be a straight Diaz
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: to Johnson. So yeah, anyway, let's move on something that's
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: been in the script. I'm gonna be honest, this has
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: been in my script. How many weeks do you reckon
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: sum for three or four?
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's one of those ones that I put in
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: the script in case we don't have time for it.
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: But actually, at this point it's become really prevalent, particularly
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: for Chelsea.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: And also in an international break. You'd like to think
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: that when they're snow games in the middle of two podcasts,
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: I'd be able to fit it in on at least one.
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: There was not a chance I was going to fit
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: it in last week when we were in person. But
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: it's the suspension type rope. We're at that point in
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: the season where players can get banned. A reminder, if
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: you don't know the rules, five yellow cards means you
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: get a one match suspension and that is up until
• 32:17
  Speaker 1: the nineteenth Premier League match of the season. So we're
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: just heading into the eighth Premier League match of the season.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: Ten yellow cards and that goes up to thirty two
• 32:25
  Speaker 1: Premier League matches to a long way ahead. Then you
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: get two matches fifteen yellow cards, which is a lot
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: of yellow cards. Is to the end of the season,
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: you get a three match ban and if you get
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: twenty yellow cards, well you shouldn't even be playing. In
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: my opinion, you would get a ban or something. You
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: would basically get sent to a regulatory commission and they
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: would really tell you off. So if you're a Premier
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: League player listening to this, especially if you're in our team,
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: don't do that. But yeah, we're getting close. Some players
• 32:51
  Speaker 1: are getting close to the five yellow card mark. Sam,
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: do you want to just run through them very quickly?
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So co Career and for Fine and both got
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: five year cards before, so they are suspended for this week.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: Five year cards and seven matches is insane. By the way,
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: I don't remember ever having two players suspended this quickly,
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: particularly on the same team. So Chelsea obviously got a
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: problem now because they've got both of them banned for
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: game week. So, as George said earlier, we expect it
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: to be the youngster that plays in that Chelsea defense,
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: which could go really well for Salah. But there are
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: also a number of players who are on in that
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: kind of three to four yellow card bracket who are
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: quite popular in FPL. Like you've got players like Dan
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: Byrne in there, You've got players like eighth Nori, who
• 33:36
  Speaker 2: is a player that I'm thinking about bringing in, but
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: it's on my radar that he's got three yellow cards already,
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: because what you don't want in this really nice block
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: of fixtures that Wolves have is to end up with him.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: They're missing one because he's suspended, so that might put
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: some people off. We talked about indeed last week. He's
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: another one that's in there with three yellow cards. So
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: it's just something that's worth keeping an eye on as
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: we head towards that five yellow card mark that they
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: will miss a game a bit like the Chelsea boys
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: this week if they if they picked them up.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: Is that all I needed to say on suspensions? Have
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: I not been able to fit that in before? It's
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: about a minute's worth of audio or they go at
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: least you know now, probably could have done with doing
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: it last week to warn people it might happen with
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: the likes of Kiku and Forfarna, but hey, you know
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: now you know what time it is, Jewels, don't read
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: the time off your clock.
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: Differential time.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: Oh of course I thought you were literally going to
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: go it's eight forty eight, wouldn't been it passed you? Yes,
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: it's differential time under ten percent.
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: Own.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: These guys pick one of their players, one of their
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: differentials each and every week. And last week, well not
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: last week, but the week before. Last week of Premier
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: League action was a very good one for you guys.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: You both got returns. Jewels picked Brennan Johnson of course
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: seven points. That was sixte and six for Spurs. Also,
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: Sam mentioned scored in the international break as well. Sam
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: went for car Valier six points. Didn't start, so it
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: got off to a bad start for you, but he
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: came on and scored a girl.
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: It all counts, Jows.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, Jewels, your differential did win by a point
• 35:10
  Speaker 1: last week, so you can go first.
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: Okay, So this week I've gone a little bit not rogue,
• 35:15
  Speaker 4: but I think you always go very interesting player. No
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: I don't, but I've picked Tyler Dibbling, the very exciting,
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: very young as well. Southampton winger who's done extremely well
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: this season despite his team not being very good so far,
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: not having one game yet, but he's been outstanding so
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: super differential. Only owned by three point two percent of
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: the game four point six millions, so very cheap. Even
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: if you don't start him, it can be on your
• 35:42
  Speaker 4: bench later on, for example when they play Man City
• 35:44
  Speaker 4: following game. But this week they've got Leicester at home
• 35:47
  Speaker 4: and a Leicester team that hasn't been great either. Dibbling
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: one of the best dribblers in the league this season
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: in terms of successful dribbles, in terms of attempted dribbles too.
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: It's got almost europen four expected goals involvement per nineties
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: so far this season. So in the team that is struggling,
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: he's clearly the one that can hazard little spark. He
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: got a penalty against Mouster United for example, that they
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: went on to miss for the goal as well. Already
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: this season he still got the pend No, he's still
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: got there also.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: By the way, is there anything more annoying than when
• 36:17
  Speaker 1: your player wins a penalty and you know they're going
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: to get an assist and the person misses. They should
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: still get points. It's another rule change, I think.
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: So anyway, sorry, no, no, So I know he's young,
• 36:28
  Speaker 4: and I know this is his first season obviously is
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: very much for breakfast season. But I think he's been
• 36:33
  Speaker 4: outstanding for them, one of the only positives really from
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: a Southampton point of view, so he would be there.
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: I think he'd be again the leader of the attack
• 36:41
  Speaker 4: for the team at home against Leicester the weekend, and
• 36:43
  Speaker 4: I think this could be a very good week for them.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: Okay, Sam, that is rogue. Are you going to go
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: that rogue? No, she's taking someone.
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: No five points. I actually wanted to pick James Madison
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: this week, but I knew that Jews would get and
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: you had him in game week.
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: Two of course, to be fair, To be fair, I
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: think even I would have put my foot if on
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: game week eight you're picking a player we've already picked.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: There's only been game you're not allowed to know. That's
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: why I didn't. So instead I've gone for Phil Foden
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: because it's a game against Wolves. The rules eyes got
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: to be below ten percent, so you can have feel.
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: That you can't just pick a superstar simply because he
• 37:23
  Speaker 4: hasn't played. He's under ten percent. Six, he played two games.
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: The poor kid, like, leave him alone. I know.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: That's why it's now is the time to be fair.
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: She is following the rules. I can't.
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: I know, come on, it's part of the rules we've got.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but if we've got a Phil Foden versus
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: Tyler Diblegates.
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: Quite well, not because the big name, everybody can pick
• 37:48
  Speaker 4: field Foden because people.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: Are switching off this podcast, so you don't even need
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: to really give us your Well, we know he's just
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: feel Premier League player of the last year.
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: Bang.
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: I mean, like, I pretty.
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: Much guarantee you that by the time game week nine
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: rolls around, he will not be owned by unto ten
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: percent of the game. If he starts this one, he'll
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: be in everybody's teams because at nine point two million,
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: that he is now because he's dropped three point three
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: in private.
• 38:16
  Speaker 4: So that because he didn't play.
• 38:18
  Speaker 3: Also, that causes me a bit of an issue.
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: Who's going to bring in a differential that's priced that high?
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: That's the only thing I would say, Well.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: It depends what Testa says about, doesn't it. I hate
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: taking Chorice's side on this, I really really.
• 38:29
  Speaker 4: Do like you have to do.
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: This depends what Artesta says about soccer, doesn't it If
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: Arteta doesn't say much about soccer with the fixtures that
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: are you going to do have coming up? If possibly,
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: It's something I've thought about this week because again it
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: frees out money and that money is quite useful, so
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: it's something I've thought about. I think there will be
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: a lot of managers this week, particularly those one hundred
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: and fifteen one thousand that are world carding, that will
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: look to double up on Manchester City this week because
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: the fixtures that they have over the next few weeks
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: are really nice, like particularly this Wolves in Southampton block
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: of games that they have. If you can double up
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: your Harlan investment with a differential, and at the moment
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: that's what Phil Foden is, why would you not try
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: and do that. I think that makes a lot of
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: sense given that now we've seen him obviously plaid seventy
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: two minutes for England against Greece and he just played
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: just ten against Finland, so I would expect to see
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: him back in the starting eleventh man City this weekend.
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I think if you can get him in
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: then you should.
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: I mean technically he's a differential Jewels, but I do
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: take issue along with yourself. I'm gonna be honest onto
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: transfers then Jews. You've got three of them, you lucky,
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: lucky boy. What are you gonna do or as if
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: you know at this point?
• 39:46
  Speaker 4: No, no, I do know. I want Brandan Johnson, that's
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: for sure.
• 39:48
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, actually you've been talked into it.
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: Yeah. No, basically great form, the fixtures are good. So
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: again to go back to what we said earlier on
• 39:56
  Speaker 4: the show, in all those criteria and how to manage
• 40:00
  Speaker 4: your team and to assess your team, et cetera. These
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: two boxes that you take already his on form plus
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: the fixture list for his team. So this is good.
• 40:08
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure what to do with Andy Robertson. I
• 40:11
  Speaker 4: brought him in because I could not get to Trent
• 40:13
  Speaker 4: at the time, but since then he's not really returned.
• 40:16
  Speaker 4: Mergy was even benched, yeah there for Timika, so I
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: might get rid of Robertson, get somebody cheaper and then
• 40:24
  Speaker 4: and then obviously Brianon Johnson in the team, so I
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: would see. But Bran Johnson, for sure it's coming so
• 40:27
  Speaker 4: that we can trigger Sam's mood on Saturday morning as.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: Well, Well, we know the transfer you're not doing, Sam, but
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: you are you?
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: Are you going to hold far with your Poro move?
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: I think I'm going to be really super boring this
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: week and roll it. How much you got?
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: We will that take to three?
• 40:44
  Speaker 4: No?
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: Just one? And I think if I had to, I'd
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: be tempted to do the Porro switch to give give
• 40:50
  Speaker 2: me Brendan Johnson for this week. But because I don't,
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: I don't see the point in taking out Poro ahead
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: of a game at home to West Ham. I think
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: he should stay for that one and then, like I say,
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: I can target eight Nori for next week after they
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: play Man City. So yeah, really boring. I don't like
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: rolling transfers particularly like I like to change up my team,
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: but I look at it and I really like it
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: for this week, Like, so I'm going to stick. I
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: did think about doing the goalie swap. There's you always
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: think about going, but you never do it. There's a
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: really good article on the pl website at the Moment
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: from the Scout which is all about the goalkeepers and
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: it talks about how David Reya has got more safe
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: points and bonus points already this season than he got
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: the whole of last season, and it talks about how
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: like Nick Poper's got the same amount. So we will
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: worried this season going into it that the defenders and
• 41:44
  Speaker 2: the goalkeepers weren't going to get as many bonus points
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: based on the new system numbers. But actually what we're
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: seeing from them is that they are getting better bonus
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: point returns this season than they were last season. So
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: like and even like with your fleck and pick, when
• 41:58
  Speaker 2: he keeps a clean sheet, he's having seven point six
• 42:00
  Speaker 2: points per match.
• 42:01
  Speaker 1: The problem is the work problem in that sentence is
• 42:04
  Speaker 1: the when.
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: I know, But but the point is is that he
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: is when he does get that clean sheet, he's over.
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: He's really, he's not just getting sick. Does the article
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: tell me when he's next going to get a clean.
• 42:14
  Speaker 2: She sadly it doesn't. But it is a really good article.
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: So I have seriously thought about a goalkeeper change. The
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: problem is the ones I want I can't quite afford.
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: So I'm probably going to wait again and do that
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: as part of a big block of changes. But if
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: you are looking at a goalie swap this week, go
• 42:29
  Speaker 2: and give that article, because it is honestly really interesting.
• 42:33
  Speaker 4: Because I've got three I might bring this really young,
• 42:36
  Speaker 4: quite unknown player that not many people have in the game.
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: It's going to be.
• 42:43
  Speaker 4: I don't know if you know about him, but I
• 42:45
  Speaker 4: think really can make a big difference this week.
• 42:49
  Speaker 3: Honestly, who do you say bring in? What was the name?
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: I didn't hear.
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: Oh, it's.
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: Guy. It looks decent to be fair, but obviously because it.
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: Could be a right, it could be a nice deference
• 43:00
  Speaker 2: with yeh.
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: But I know you're not serious about it being young unknown,
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: But are you seriously going to bring in?
• 43:05
  Speaker 4: No, I don't I don't have the money. I'm already
• 43:07
  Speaker 4: like thinking about brain Johnson. That's enough for my little brain.
• 43:11
  Speaker 1: You described the brain as litt or not me, but
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to argue with you. Just to recap
• 43:16
  Speaker 1: what some of the most popular transfer combinations are, just
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: because I find this quite interesting, especially given what we've
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: just said about most Salah and the problems that Chelsea
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: have got in their defense, Almost fifty five thousand have
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: got rid of mo Salad and brought him Becayo Sackap.
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: I'm wondering if that was done before Asaka went off
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: injured and b people realize the issues that Chelsea have
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: in defense going into that fixture. The second most popular
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: is Diaz outmo In, which again just blows my mind
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: a little bit. I get the well, actually know it
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: doesn't actually because I'm probably gonna get rid of DEAs.
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: What am I talking about? It only blows my mixture,
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: But yeah, it blows my mind as the fixture, but
• 43:56
  Speaker 1: not because of Yeah, moving on, I'm talking rubbish now
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: trans but no, we don't transfer it really, I'm talking.
• 44:02
  Speaker 1: I think this podcast went Yeah, gosh, I wish Captain
• 44:06
  Speaker 1: c Harland. Yeah, yeah, if you have salahou would you
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: go Salah Sam given what we've said?
• 44:14
  Speaker 4: Or no?
• 44:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I might be tempted if I had Salah.
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: I think it would be tempted given the problems that
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: Chelsea potentially have defend me on his side. It is
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: very very very hard though, to go against Harland when
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: he's playing against the Wolf side that have conceded more
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: goals than anybody else this season.
• 44:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree, that's what makes me want to be
• 44:33
  Speaker 4: on Harland.
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: It's also it goes back to what we said about before,
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: when you consider your transfer combinations and what other people
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: are doing when you're doing your transfer combinations for me
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: and even bigger part of it as well as when
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: you're captaining. We talk about it a lot, don't we.
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: With Harland in particular, if you go against the grain
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: and he goes off, it can really affect your rank
• 44:51
  Speaker 1: on it. Sam Equally, there is a bit of a
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: flip side of if he does go off and you
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: captained him, it's like everyone's done that, but you kind
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: of almost have to stay in with the pack in
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: a way.
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: It feels there are moments, I think where you can
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: go against the grain for captaincy like I have for
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: a couple of weeks this season when Harland's and it
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: tends to be actually when Harland's away from home most
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: away games, there'd be the ones that I'll look at
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: and go, has my Sacker pick or my Oni Watkins pick,
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: or whoever else it is that I've got my team
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: got a better home fixture where they've got more upside
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: and you can chase out those points a little bit.
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: But when it's away at Wolves who have been really
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: struggling defensively, I just I think it's too much of
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: a risk for me anyway, It would be too much
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: of a risk not to captain him, because I think
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: he's probably the player that's got the most potential for
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: a huge Hall this week, alongside Sala would be a
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: close second for me.
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: Anyone watching on YouTube might be able to see now
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: that I'm looking up something on my computer, and I
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: know that that's very rude, but I actually think that
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: last season Wolves hadn't won and then they played Manchester City. Yes,
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: Wolves hadn't won last season, and then they played Manchester
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: City on the thirtieth of September last year, because I
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: remember I interviewed Gary O'Neil and the build up Wolves
• 45:59
  Speaker 1: won two one.
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: Did you change their luck? Are you going to interview
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: them again this year?
• 46:03
  Speaker 4: No?
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: No, no, I'm not go and speak to him again.
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: See if it's the same thing, just because you want
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: to bring an eight noran, I'm not going to do it.
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: If I'm going to captain Harland, am I No, that's true. Yeah, no,
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: just a word of warning. But obviously, I mean we're
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: a bit further on in the season now, we're mid
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: mid towards the end of October, and we'll still haven't one,
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: but yeah, we will have to see I think Harlan
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: will be a very popular transfer transfer captain this week.
• 46:27
  Speaker 1: As we said, I can't talk, so let's end the podcast.
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: Here are your deadline this week is nineteen minutes sead
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: of Spurs versus West Ham's. That's eleven am ahead of
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: the twelve thirty kickoff, which you said you're going to Sam.
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: Yah. Yeah, I'm kind.
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: Of talking to myself watching Brennan Johnson life.
• 46:40
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to bring in Brennan Johnson then, because
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: you're the Spurs. Curse off the Benures back on Monday.
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: Harry and Oscar will be talking you through all the
• 46:49
  Speaker 1: game week eight talking points. I will be back. I was,
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: oh god, I literally can't talk. I thought I was
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: saying eight Nori then, but I wasn't. I was saying
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: game week eight. Honestly, I had three eyes on your
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: brain game we ki yep.
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: Oh gosh.
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: People on YouTube now are literally watching you have a
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: melt down in front of the camera.
• 47:08
  Speaker 4: The Fantasy is back this week.
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: Week I might recall the do the pod intro as
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: that what else? Like I say, oh yeah, the Fantasy
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: shows back Friday morning. Hopefully I'll have had more sleep
• 47:21
  Speaker 1: and I'll be able to talk more since by them,
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: because that's twenty four hours time and this has been
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: a bit of a disaster. As always, please rate and
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: review us, but please don't mention that the presenter can't
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: speak samals. Have a great week.
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah bye,
