Great buttons and butterflies if he was lucky.
0:03
That's what you're ragging about ice cold Palmer.
0:08
But you know why? It's because of idiots like you.
0:10
I'm not a fan of Enzo whatsoever.
0:14
That many goals in the next 5 games, I can't believe I'm going
0:17
to say it then Rodri's the best player in the league.
0:19
I wrote down some Manchester United stuff.
0:20
Do you guys want me to go throw it?
0:22
No. What does it say?
0:23
Oh Nana, highest scoring United. Like, what the fuck is this?
0:26
All right, so maybe I don't know shit.
0:28
I'm no, I'm just saying facts. Am I going to say facts?
0:31
How many opinions have you heard from this soul patch?
0:35
Pornstash. Bullheaded.
0:36
Motherfucker, if we bet on that game it brings up 2 + 10,000 and
0:41
we have the option to hedge. OK, hello and welcome to episode
0:48
60 of Draft Offsides with Tikko Enzo.
0:51
My name is Keith, and we're dealing with a great week, guys.
0:55
Tikko great week. Yeah, you could call me Tico AKA
0:58
21 OA. KA21O21O Tico.
1:03
So Tico you've got, you've got two and the last two weeks in a
1:06
row that must that's pretty good.
1:07
I mean, one of the leagues I only have one loss, which is
1:09
against Yuki Farming league and the other one I started on three
1:13
and I've won three in a row and I'm just one game out of first
1:16
place. So that's the league that my
1:20
team is not a strong, but I've won three in a row.
1:22
The last this week I won with 59 points or 60 points.
1:26
Luckily I was playing a shitty team so I wasn't.
1:30
Able to bro? He's playing Enzo for anyone.
1:32
Look who's one name. The thing is, I didn't wake up
1:36
for the Newcastle game and I would have took out ASAC, but I
1:38
didn't because I didn't fucking wake up.
1:40
That's my fault. You didn't wink as a skill.
1:42
You, you want some fucking mistakes?
1:43
Yeah, it's kind of like an own goal.
1:44
It's like you can't really. Yeah, you know.
1:46
Wait, wait, can we insert Sergey?
1:49
Can you insert Enzo last week saying it's keeps fault for not
1:53
waking up that the shit excused? No.
1:56
Yeah, I remember that. I remember that.
1:59
I left to remember that. Doku I would if I woke up which
2:02
I woke up like at 29429 which was already too late.
2:05
Doku wasn't playing. I would have bashed Doku who get
2:09
like out of here. You know, I woke up for the city
2:11
because after last week after going oh and two, I literally
2:14
set my alarm and woke up for the 4:00 AM game.
2:15
I was like, I'm not fucking doing this thing.
2:16
And I had too many, I had too many Man City and Newcastle
2:18
players. So let that go and I'm glad I
2:20
did because I put Grealition. Fucking hate this whole game.
2:24
So so one day where I don't have to wake up that early.
2:27
I know I get it. All right.
2:30
So anything else major? I mean, I think the biggest
2:33
thing I can't wait to talk about more is Manchester United losing
2:36
to Tottenham 30 the one. I just want to put one stat that
2:38
we can think about as we go through southern duds.
2:41
In the last 15 Premier League games, Everton has more points
2:46
than Manchester United. No, yes. 19 to 21 everything has
2:52
21 points in the last 15 games across the last season and this
2:56
season. How does how does 10 Hawks still
2:59
have a jump? Oh, you know, because he won the
3:01
League Cup, then he won the FA Cup.
3:04
Yep, I actually have a few Manchester United points we
3:07
could get to later on or we could get to it today.
3:09
It's up to you guys, but. Let's get to it later on.
3:11
I don't know how much time I want it.
3:12
OK. Should we get right to studs and
3:13
dozen? Let's talk about my man, my
3:15
main, my main squeeze. Go ahead, guys.
3:19
Take it away. Ice cold Palmer. 56 1/2 points.
3:23
He he by himself scored more than a lot of people's fantasy
3:26
team in total. Again, team.
3:30
Projected Fuck you guys. Projected tough, 13 points, your
3:34
six points he scored first four first half goals.
3:37
Didn't do shit in the second-half so you could say
3:39
with a disappointed. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
3:42
He didn't not do shit in the second-half.
3:44
You know who didn't help him in the second-half?
3:47
Nico Jackson. Oh, I know.
3:50
I mean, I, I, I was, I was wondering if you guys were
3:52
bringing this up. I like, I thought he made Nico
3:55
down that you're talking about that big looping pass that
3:56
called Palmer. There was like come.
3:58
Jackson. The Nico Jackson.
3:59
Yeah, there was. A few OK, but that the main one
4:01
and then Nico Jackson actually makes a really good touch on the
4:03
keeper. It's he's a little unlucky for
4:05
that. The guy got back to to block
4:06
that shot. No, it's after making that
4:09
touch. He takes a look up.
4:12
Yeah, he he took an extra second to look up because.
4:14
But do you know why? It's because of idiots like you
4:16
online, ridiculously, you know, for missing shots like that.
4:18
He didn't have the confidence to just shoot with his head down.
4:21
He had to look up and make sure the goal was there.
4:22
You. Know why we ridiculed him
4:23
online? It's because.
4:24
It's because of people like you, Tico.
4:26
That's why he did that. It's actually this.
4:27
Because he blesses up over and over again.
4:29
But you know. What?
4:30
But if you were more supportive and he wouldn't have looked up
4:32
there, it's because of all your online abuse.
4:34
Keith Sharp, that's fucking wrong.
4:36
All right, because we've said this last week and you agree
4:39
with me? Nico Jackson is this.
4:42
He's a WAR player one week and then the other week he does Jack
4:45
shit or he's fucking. You know what though?
4:46
Are you mad? I mean, are you that mad?
4:48
How much he's got you like 13? He's got really good because
4:50
he's going to assist. You can assist.
4:52
And that was, I thought that was a good assist.
4:53
It wasn't a. Very good assist, no?
4:56
What if you're a striker? You go one-on-one.
4:58
The only reason he made that pass because his feet like he
5:00
stumbled. He was not going to be able to
5:02
get a shot on and Cole Palmer made the run, but he.
5:04
Still, but he still plays head up if.
5:06
You're a striker in the one-on-one that should be a shot
5:09
up. I'll tell you what, Martinelli
5:10
was never passing that ball. No, I'll tell you.
5:13
What? Marcus Rashford was never
5:14
passing that ball. Someone else who looks down
5:16
while dribbling Martinelli. And I'm saying that, but then he
5:19
looked back up. He he made a mistake with his
5:21
feature, but then he looked back up and he made an adjustment
5:23
that that's what I want to see in a player.
5:25
Those are the different things I want to see.
5:26
Let's get with this. Nico Jackson.
5:27
Yeah. Yeah.
5:28
This is about Cole Palmer. Sorry.
5:30
I think that Cole Palmer could have had more goals.
5:33
He could have, yeah. He could have had.
5:34
The old side. Goal.
5:36
Yeah. Wow.
5:37
And he missed one wide in the second-half, too.
5:39
That was. Like a key shot was fucking
5:41
chef's kiss, man. The free kick was amazing the
5:46
the one he hit on the post that tells me that he doesn't trust
5:49
Nico Jackson enough to make that pass for Nico.
5:52
OK, OK. Why are you bringing it back to
5:54
him? Why?
5:54
Are you bringing it back? Stay.
5:56
Stay focus here. Amazing play the course, amazing
5:59
game. 50 plus highest probably for this for the year until I
6:02
don't know how long he decides to score like 5 or 6.
6:05
You know what I like about him even more?
6:08
I think like everyone's talking about how he talks everything,
6:11
but I think he's so mentality. He doesn't.
6:13
He doesn't let anything get to him.
6:15
Oh, oh, Cole. What about this?
6:17
I don't know, Don't know. But if he let stuff get to him,
6:20
he would have changed this area. He.
6:21
Doesn't give a shit and the way he plays, I was I was watching
6:25
something and they they were comparing him and you you guys
6:29
might watch a little bit this. I know Sergey.
6:30
Did they say that he reminds him of Dennis Burkham, the way he
6:33
plays? Oh yeah.
6:34
So relaxed, like gliding along the pitch and I can see it.
6:38
Good player. You know, I think it is too is I
6:40
think there's this new crop of, of English talent just they've,
6:43
they've done a good job, like training him mentally just to
6:45
not let things faze him. Like, like, I think Foden's
6:48
really similar in the sense that he's like, he's not like super
6:51
emotional. Yeah.
6:52
You know, they just like, kind of they just like what Enzo was
6:54
saying, like, yeah, OK, yeah, this is like what I'm expected
6:56
to do. You know, it's like he thinks
6:58
this is all part of it. It's not.
6:59
They just grown up with social media and don't give a fuck.
7:01
Yeah. All the.
7:03
Trolls like Tico, you know what I mean?
7:04
Like just blank him out. Yeah, meanwhile, poor Nicholas
7:08
Jackson, coming from Spanish league where he's not exposed to
7:12
the hatred, he's having a hard time You.
7:13
Go remember man the the English presses are fucking animal.
7:16
Yeah, it's a nightmare. But I think, I mean, that'll
7:18
probably be Colt Palmer's best game of the year.
7:20
But at the end of the day, he is so good and I can't believe that
7:23
he, I can't believe he dropped to 6 in our look, that was a
7:26
mistake. That was a mistake from everyone
7:28
from 1:00 to 5:00. No, no, I'm not even saying it's
7:31
a mistake. You, you've said this and we've
7:33
all said this. One through 6, you can't really
7:36
go wrong. There is a certain level to it,
7:37
but one through 6 you can't really go wrong.
7:40
You went Arcanzo. Shut up.
7:42
So no. Keith, let's go back.
7:45
Hindsight obviously like this is the best game to get.
7:47
But if we take this out, if you go game by game, obviously it's
7:50
different. But if you're not, taking Saka
7:52
first makes sense, Hala makes sense, Sala ahead of it makes
7:55
sense, and until. I think Sala is where where it
7:58
starts getting murky. I think Saka, saka, holla and
8:01
Bruno. Yeah, 123, I think.
8:04
Anything after that? And Bruno's not having the best
8:06
thought. Yeah, he's on the that side, but
8:08
I think I'm just, I'm saying like if you were, if you weren't
8:10
looking at hindsight, I think I think Cole probably should have
8:13
been #4. Ahead of masala.
8:17
Yeah, just because of the fear that it just like he, Saul, is
8:22
doing much better than a lot of people thought he was going to
8:24
do. I'd be like considering Saul at
8:25
the end of the year, some of the questions about if he was going
8:28
to be here, like I just think I would have.
8:29
I would have if it was up to me and I wasn't like I would have
8:33
taken him. There, the key thing, he said.
8:34
That was if it was up to me. I rule the world.
8:38
I rule the world. OK, Let's be long.
8:39
We've been talking about Cole Palmer for too long.
8:41
You love it. Fucking great.
8:43
Unbelievable. Is he the best player in the
8:45
Premier League? Right.
8:47
Now, no, he's not. Who would be who's the the best
8:49
player? Holland, Holland.
8:52
You you think if like the EPL work like basketball trades, if
8:56
Chelsea called mattress to be like, hey, give us Holland.
8:58
We'll give you we'll give you call Palmer.
9:01
They're hanging up the phone. They're like, we're not giving
9:02
you Holland. That's because they don't.
9:04
That's not a good example. I think that when you talk about
9:06
from like Scory to create in like all around, I think Cole
9:09
Palmer is a better place. Holland does one thing really
9:11
well, but it's not he's like this amazing creator, like Cole
9:13
Palmer was showing how amazing his like passing range is, his
9:16
dribbling like all and all the other all assets.
9:18
It's like the argument like Cristiano or Messi, like Messi
9:21
was a better all around player than Cristiano Ronaldo was.
9:23
Cristiano Ronaldo was a better like finisher.
9:24
You could argue. I would make the same argument
9:26
for Cole Palmer. Really, Holland?
9:29
Oh my God, you are on that fucking high horse.
9:32
I'm drinking the cool air. Can we fucking move?
9:34
On to the next step. Like he said, we're talking too
9:36
much about cold and fucking breaks you back in, Yeah.
9:39
That's where in the ETL. We've got to wait.
9:40
We've got to wait too long. OK, Next, next, son.
9:44
The Kulusefsky 31 points versus projected tough 9.65.
9:48
He had one goal and he had 90 passes, which when I saw it was
9:51
pretty amazing. Happy to see it.
9:53
Cool. You know, he's just one of those
9:55
people I feel like people generally root for and
9:58
especially at the end of the last year where he was not
10:00
getting a lot of minutes. So it was great to see this and
10:02
we'll Lucefsky and he had that amazing goal that he just had
10:05
last minute and just kind of flicked it over on Anna.
10:09
I love that. I love that little ninja kick.
10:11
Yeah, it was very nice. I think the key here this season
10:16
with him is that and isn't replaying him on the wing, he's
10:20
playing him more central the way he used to play for Juventus.
10:22
Oh my God, I completely agree with you.
10:25
And that's why I think that's why I think he's doing better
10:27
this season because it does. He doesn't work Angebor on the
10:31
wings because he's just not as quick as like a Brennan Johnson
10:34
or a team of Warner, which still, in my opinion, Tina
10:36
Warner shouldn't be on the team. But Kulu, like just the way he
10:39
was creating in that middle. I still, I'm still not sure
10:42
about it. I still want to pivot.
10:43
But even Bentoncour playing that like #8 role sort of in the
10:47
midfield sort of balances out. But I feel like against bad
10:51
teams, we need something more solid in that in that big.
10:55
I mean, I think that's the biggest thing is Kulasevsky
10:56
playing under like right behind the striker like this.
10:59
It's like, Oh my God, where you were getting him a drops is
11:00
amazing. Like if you knew that that was a
11:02
given situation he'd be going, he'd be going so much higher
11:05
because last year, you know, playing on the wing, it's just
11:07
the thigh is like skill set. That's on his strength.
11:09
So I think this is really exciting if you're a Kulasanski
11:12
owner. I think the one thing ends out
11:13
of your point is I don't think this is going to be the lineup
11:15
every single game. No, especially especially
11:17
against the bigger teams. And I think it's a statement to
11:20
how poorly and thinks about Man United that this is the lineup
11:23
you put out at Old Trafford to play Man United.
11:26
I'm I'm not trying to be, I'm like, I'm dead serious.
11:28
Like look at that lineup, Look at the midfield, not as a
11:31
Gosevski Pentacor like at United at at Old Trafford.
11:36
That's crazy. I feel like he went with them
11:39
because they're counter attacking more accounts and
11:41
team. He felt like they were going to
11:42
try contact so he pressed them. He thought they were going to
11:46
sit back. So that was attack.
11:48
He technically, I think Ange had it right.
11:49
He nailed that, Yeah. But yeah, just crazy.
11:52
But I'm super happy for him. I mean, that's really exciting.
11:56
I mean, is that that's just by far as biggest game of the year,
11:58
right? Has he had any other kind of
11:59
games of like plus 10 + 12 I? Think he's had a couple from him
12:03
repair. Let me look, Tito.
12:04
You got it. Yeah.
12:05
He's averaging 11.29 so he the second game of the year he had
12:10
17.75 and everything else has been like 98 and a half 2.7.
12:15
That's amazing. -1. Where'd he go in drafts?
12:19
He went third round the in our main league.
12:22
What? Who going?
12:24
One of the one of our top. One of the top.
12:27
As a what? A.
12:29
Yeah. I mean that ended up being a
12:30
great acquisition but I mean imagine getting him the 6th
12:33
though ish. Wow.
12:36
Mark, how do you pronounce his last name?
12:39
Gaye Gaye, Thank you. 27 1/2 points projected to 8.75.
12:44
Scored his first goal of the season, and he's averaging 10.2
12:47
for the year while only having one clean sheet.
12:51
So he's been quietly having a good season for Crystal Palace,
12:56
which you know, you wouldn't think their defenders have
12:57
value, but when you look at his last few games, 27 and a half,
13:01
ten and a half, 8.25. So he is valuable as long as
13:04
he's not playing those you'll beat offensive teams.
13:06
Yeah, I like Mark Gay. I think he had a good end to the
13:09
summer when, you know, with with England and everything.
13:11
And then they had what, the transfer rumors showing that
13:15
he's who's it for? Who was the transfer rumor for?
13:19
Newcastle, right? Newcastle, they're willing to
13:21
pop pay a ton of money too. It was like, it was like, seems
13:24
like way more than he should be. And that just tells you what
13:27
they think of his caliber. And I think he's a good player.
13:29
He's and I think it's time for him, maybe January, maybe not,
13:31
maybe at the end of the season, but he won't be at Caso Palace
13:34
that much longer. Yeah, I mean, we we kind of
13:37
looked at him, which he was someone we actually talked about
13:39
pre season because, you know, with with his inclusion into the
13:42
England's lineup, he had a lot higher profile.
13:45
Yep. And then we were, I was like, we
13:47
were all saying that it's like, oh, but don't don't think about
13:49
him too much for fantasy because he hadn't, even though he was a
13:52
good defender, like in real life, on paper, his he wasn't
13:55
scoring a ton of points. That's seemed to change this
13:58
year. So that's really great.
14:00
And he's, I mean, he's owned, he's owned at 64% of leagues.
14:02
So there's still a lot of leagues where he's out there,
14:04
you know, so definitely worth looking at.
14:06
But yeah, the I mean, the goal is obviously gonna kind of boost
14:08
that up, but. Wise.
14:10
Yeah. But I mean when you look at his
14:11
scores, 27 and a half, ten and a half, 8.25 and then the three
14:14
below that are 5.755 point 254.25.
14:19
So I mean that obviously that that one big score is going to
14:22
kind of bolster him a little bit, but.
14:24
But it's still a good average score.
14:26
Good average score. I mean, you think that Crystal
14:28
Palace is going to sort it out a little bit at some point?
14:31
Yeah, they're having, they're having a rough fucking time.
14:32
They're having a rough time, but they go some good plays.
14:36
Yeah, some very good plays. All right, honorable mention.
14:40
Jayden Sancho 23 points versus projected 8.51 fantasy wise has
14:47
become a must start player. And Chelsea's offense has been
14:49
amazing. They've been scoring goals.
14:51
He had two assists yesterday and he's had an assistant each game
14:54
he's played and one of those games he came off only in the
14:56
second-half and still had an assist.
14:58
So it looks like he cemented his spot at the starting lineup for
15:02
Chelsea. Hey, hey Keith, do you think
15:05
that any team would love to have Sancho?
15:09
I think wait, why are you start saying like it's a chat?
15:12
Why are you saying that? United is making a United thing.
15:15
Oh. Yeah, yeah, I assume that you're
15:17
attacking me. OK, yes, now I understand.
15:20
Yeah, I think any team would love that.
15:21
Says. I can't imagine how you couldn't
15:23
make your team better. And how we couldn't fit into.
15:25
Most teams fit in there. Like look.
15:26
At not at least the top teams. At least the top teams.
15:29
Top teams. I mean top teams.
15:30
Oh, that's what it is. Top it seems.
15:31
That he can play with other players, you know, Yeah.
15:33
But it's yeah, that's he seems to be at his best when he can
15:36
really combine with people. Like honestly, I watched the
15:38
Chelsea game, Sancho looked good.
15:41
He looks like like he's nearly at that, that Brucio dolman
15:45
Sancho, you know what I mean? He looked amazing last year in
15:48
the Champions League around to the finals.
15:49
I think he was one of the main reasons they made the finals in
15:52
the Champions League. It's kind of funny with the
15:55
Chelsea because you know, like the John Felix could have been
15:58
that guy, like Kunku. There's so many good names that
16:01
were kind of vying for these positions.
16:02
And I mean, it's right now, it is what it is.
16:04
But there's a, there's a, there's still a lot of good
16:06
players in that in like sniffing around those spots.
16:10
Every time I hear that name, John Felix, I just hear about
16:12
the trip. I just feel like that trade.
16:13
I just hear that trade. OK, imagine if John Felix was
16:17
performing as well as Jane Sancho.
16:18
Then then you guys would be like, oh, OK, you know what?
16:21
It's a fair trade. Great photos and butterflies if
16:24
he was like. This guy had the audacity to say
16:27
oh it's a competitive lead this year after trade raping to
16:30
people. Audacity.
16:33
Making it competitive. But he did say that I was like,
16:36
by your tongue. And so it's.
16:37
True. I mean, it's our, our league is
16:38
very competitive this year. There's four guys tied for
16:40
first, There's three guys, three guys tied for first, four guys
16:43
tied for second and everyone else is like two games behind.
16:45
There's no, there's no like 1 and fives, Pedro, Neto.
16:50
No, I think Neto. I mean, I honestly think Neto
16:51
might get the start in the next game because like Jayden
16:53
Sancho's kind of locked in that left side, but like not a wecky.
16:56
How's it look? Great.
16:57
And so Neto's kind of a knocking at the door.
16:59
I also think Nkunku's knocking at the door, but I think his
17:01
issue is that Palmer and Jackson have been playing so well at I
17:04
think Rezka sees him through those two middle positions.
17:08
The same with Zhao. So I think that's the problem
17:10
there. But I think Neto, of all the
17:12
guys that are in like the beast attacking squad for Chelsea, I
17:14
think he's the most likely to to replace in Kunku, Mado Ek and
17:19
break into that that. Team.
17:20
I think he's looked good besides that first game though.
17:23
I think he's had good moments, but he's also come in and just
17:25
he doesn't really like in the Premier League, he hasn't really
17:28
like had a good run out and in the other games it's really hard
17:31
to tell cuz you're like OK, you're playing against like
17:33
Bromsley or something, you know, so that's.
17:38
So hard. But now I'm, I'm still holding
17:41
on. I I obviously drafted in one
17:43
league and if I could take it back I would.
17:45
But we're here and I have him and so I'm going to hold on to
17:48
him for a little bit because I think he, I think of all those,
17:51
of all the starting positions, he's the most likely to break in
17:53
now. Just giving the information we
17:55
know all. Right.
17:56
Cool. But Jayden Sancho.
17:57
Great job sarge, you can cut out all that Chelsea talk.
18:02
Keep it in. People love it.
18:04
People want to hear about winners.
18:05
People love. People love winners.
18:07
Chelsea. Podcast I remember Keith telling
18:09
me that last season. This is the top the podcast.
18:12
I'm going to cut that out. This is.
18:14
I think you want to hear about players that are performing
18:16
well. So I don't know he.
18:19
Just talked about now. Well, I got prompted by our
18:23
producer. Producer Sergey prompted me to
18:24
talk about that. Hey.
18:25
Sergey, shut the fuck up. All right, moving.
18:28
OK. Moving on to duds.
18:29
Thanks, Sergey. Love you.
18:32
First up, Chris Wade, 1 1/2 points, projected to have 18.25.
18:37
All he had was the point he got 2 effective clearances and two
18:39
aerials, One no offensive contribution whatsoever.
18:43
So he's been good for the year. He's got off to a pretty good
18:46
start, but they had a favorable match up and he did not deliver.
18:50
Can I say one thing though? Him being a duds as she shows
18:52
how much of a high standard we have him.
18:55
Yeah, he's been so good. Like it's, I feel like Strikers
18:59
are gonna have games like this. Yeah, I drafted him in one of
19:02
our leagues because from Draft Society, Ryan Ryan said, you
19:07
know, as a player that's gonna have a breakout.
19:09
And I was like, hey, you know what, He was on our podcast.
19:11
Let's see, what if he, you know, what is our convention is and
19:14
I've been very happy with him for Forest has been doing pretty
19:17
well. Three goals.
19:18
Am I sitting like sitting Strike when you need?
19:21
Yeah, if he's your third striker, Oh my God, you're
19:23
you're in heaven. If that's if that's like your
19:25
third guy that you draft in, that's amazing.
19:28
And that's where he was doing a draft.
19:29
He's going as like a third round, third option.
19:33
Yeah. So yeah, I mean, I think
19:35
strikers are gonna have dead games.
19:36
I think that's just kind of a given just with that position
19:39
and how that how it kind of plays out.
19:40
There's very few strikers that like, are as consistent as,
19:43
like, a mid, you know? Yeah.
19:45
So no panic there. I don't think I won't.
19:48
I don't think I won't. He's going to replace him
19:49
anytime soon. I think that was maybe a fear at
19:51
the beginning of the season, but Wood's been so hot off the gate
19:53
that I think it's going to take a little bit more to replace
19:57
him. We've seen, like with Muniz, he
19:58
had such a bad start that Jimenez came in and now he's
20:01
playing well, what, three and three goals in three games?
20:03
He's got 53 points. He's right up there after three
20:07
games. But I'm saying that like, yeah,
20:08
I don't think, I don't think if, you know, Chris Wood has a
20:10
little bit of a falter, I don't think he's as threatened.
20:13
The one you didn't look that good in that game, Marvel.
20:16
After when he came on. Yeah, didn't look that good in
20:18
that game. No, he wasn't sharp at all.
20:20
Yeah. All right.
20:21
Next, Dad. Summer Chelsea talk Enzo
20:24
Fernandez one at one point he's rostered at 65%.
20:29
I think he's proven to be what he is fantasy wise.
20:32
He has zero value whatsoever. I don't think any he should be
20:36
rostered whatsoever in fantasy, no.
20:39
Yeah, he's. I agree fantasy was, but you
20:41
didn't have to be so harsh Tico. I think he just needed Tico,
20:44
needed to get a little job in there in some way.
20:46
I'm not a fan of Enzo whatsoever.
20:49
I think he's been fairly disappointing and I think I can
20:50
say that because there's been other things that have been
20:52
working well for us. So I feel comfortable saying
20:56
that, but it would have been hard for me to say that a year
20:58
ago. We know we bought this stuff a
21:01
year ago too. Yeah, I don't think he's a
21:03
fantasy asset in any capacity especially.
21:05
I think I honestly, I think he was brought in to be a little
21:08
bit more of a creator and I just think he's shown that he can't
21:10
really do that. I think he's really good at like
21:13
like dribbling, like dribbling through the press and like
21:16
passing like the ball, like, you know, that second baller, you
21:20
know, so like the hockey assist type pass where it's like pass
21:23
it to Cole Palmer, who then gives the assist type pass.
21:25
But I don't think he's really he hasn't shown that he can kind of
21:28
be that final third contributor. So should be dropped.
21:32
I don't think he should be on benches.
21:33
I agree. OK, next on.
21:36
Muhammad kudos one point versus projected 10.38 Subbed off at
21:41
half time, Dispossessed 4 times and he's averaging 6.6 points
21:44
per game, down from last year when he averaged 11.4.
21:48
It's been a rough start from this season.
21:50
I think for the whole WM team. Yeah, I I believed.
21:53
I think that too. But you know what makes, you
21:57
know, what's a little bit of saying with this West Ham team
22:00
is that, yeah, they're pretty good last season, but they
22:02
brought in a lot, they spent a lot.
22:03
I think these were the most money didn't.
22:06
They. Yeah, they brought in all these
22:08
players and you don't see them start.
22:09
Don't get wrong, wasn't it in full Crick or injured, but they
22:12
still got Somerville that they really haven't been playing, you
22:15
know what I mean? They got rid of James Ward
22:18
Prowse and I think that was a mistake.
22:22
I just think they've made some bad decisions and and they got
22:25
rid of the manager. I think they're calling for him
22:27
back. I don't think Wise is coming
22:29
back. I think he's a little.
22:30
I think he's probably on a beach somewhere.
22:32
No, I'm sure but I'm saying they should be calling for him back
22:35
but Kudos hasn't been able to get any trouble completions.
22:38
He's still got several, but it's the end product that isn't
22:42
there. Yeah, I mean, I think Kudos is
22:45
still such a good player. I think it's just a system thing
22:46
and a manager thing and I think that either they'll figure it
22:49
out or a little bit tag, you'll get sacked and then have the
22:52
next hour come in. Yeah, and you stick with cooters
22:54
until the very end or you bite the bullet and.
22:57
I think you hold on to him, I think he's too good.
22:59
I think you would be sick to your stomach if you get rid of
23:02
him. And no I agree they sackle up a
23:04
little bit taggy in a month and then he just pops off.
23:07
That's why I haven't. I've declined every traders come
23:09
my way because they smell blood in the war.
23:11
Fucking sharks. What do you say I was I was
23:14
actually messaging with the guy on on discord.
23:16
He was like trying to get a mid for Cunya.
23:18
Do you think with someone offered you Kunia for kudos?
23:20
What you think about that? He's definitely on the form.
23:24
Yeah, that's what. Yeah, I think that that's
23:26
actually a good, I might suggest that's actually a good, good
23:28
suggestion for that guy. All right, Honorable mention for
23:32
duds. Luis Diaz. 2 1/2 points that.
23:36
Hurt to put him in there, Chico. It did, but you know, he's still
23:39
ranked pretty high, so he had 2 1/2 points projected to have
23:43
11.73. It's his second dud.
23:45
He had three points against Forrest, but he still ranks 6
23:49
for the year. I'm nothing to panic about.
23:51
Obviously he's not going to average like 20-30 plus, but I
23:54
think you want to see him where even when he has bad games, he's
23:56
around like eight points instead of, you know, 2 less than 5.
23:59
Yeah, I I just think overall Lil Boy had a bad, bad game this
24:04
game and I just don't think you know, when everyone's kicking.
24:08
Luis Diaz is probably in there, but I'll wait.
24:10
So again, not worried about Luis Diaz.
24:13
I had him last season and he's he's a good player.
24:16
He's going to get you triple completions, get you balls into
24:19
the box, key passes, so. And there's one huge difference
24:23
with Luis Diaz from this year and last year, right, Enzo?
24:25
Yeah, his parents didn't get kidnapped.
24:29
How many times we have to say that?
24:30
Is that every episode? I want to say that every.
24:34
Episode I want to fucking tally I'm.
24:37
Going to get you a T-shirt that just says that.
24:42
We should get that and have a draft or side logo right in the
24:45
middle. It's funny, do you feel like
24:49
Luis Siez is a kind of a strikey streaky player and you feel like
24:52
this might just be, it's just a one game, one game, last game.
24:56
That's what I mean. Last game was so streaky.
24:57
So just because he started hot is the assumption that he'll be
25:01
hot the rest of the. Season because the season before
25:04
that he had a really good season and then last season he was a
25:07
little bit streaky, but he was streaky because you know what if
25:12
in this season he's showing good form, I think I think he's
25:16
right. I think he's gonna be fine.
25:17
Yeah, he'll he'll be right up there in the top ten, top 12.
25:20
You think in the end, yeah, the end season.
25:23
I think he'll be top 20. I have a hard time.
25:25
I personally think he's going to have a hard time maintaining.
25:27
He's going to be right around the area.
25:29
And especially look, we've also Man C arguing the whole time
25:32
now. Liverpool's already stolen the
25:33
top spot, you know, I mean, they're, they're quietly just
25:36
playing good games and getting through and he's part of it.
25:41
Yeah, Any other closing thoughts on Diaz Tikka?
25:46
No, I mean as long as you know his parents have extra security,
25:49
I have nothing to worry about. The insurance is fire on those
25:54
mother fuckers now I think. He just probably just was like,
25:56
how about you just live in London?
25:58
Why don't you just not live in Colombia anymore?
26:00
And they were like, no, the weather's terrible.
26:02
Yeah. Probably, and I'd rather live in
26:04
like a villa compounded in Colombia.
26:06
Risk my life as opposed to living in Liverpool.
26:10
Fucking terrible, all right? OK, we have a ton of notes, so
26:15
I'm just going to kind of blow through some of this stuff and
26:17
just like shout on a comment. Was this the first time all
26:20
season Holland hasn't scored he up?
26:22
1st it's something that scored. He watched.
26:25
He's fucking fallen off man. I'm gonna say it like he he was
26:28
really lackluster. I only had like 5 touches.
26:31
It's not the same hard and I think it might be downhill from
26:33
you you. Think it's time to get rid of
26:34
him so cheap. So so cheap get get yourself a
26:38
kudos. They played Fulham next and then
26:43
Wolves and then Southampton, then Bournemouth and Brighton
26:45
so. Oh my God, I can.
26:47
See ten goals in the next 5 games.
26:49
Just licking his chop. I'm going to tell you this right
26:51
now, if he doesn't score that many goals in the next 5 games,
26:55
I can't believe I'm going to say it.
26:57
Then Rhodri's the best player in the league.
26:58
Oh man, that'll be the biggest fucking turn around off he gets
27:04
injured. They can't fucking win a game,
27:06
that'll be the problem. But yeah, I mean, well, you're
27:08
good with Holland. It's kind of funny to note that
27:10
you know him not scoring one game and people are immediately
27:12
talking shit on social media. Already.
27:15
Could play great. Looking.
27:16
Ridiculous. We talked about Sancho, NEC
27:19
would be lucky to have him. Palmer.
27:20
We talked about Cole Palmer, Nicholas Jackson.
27:22
We had a very heated discussion about him previously, so we can
27:25
kind of skip over all those players.
27:28
This is amazing. The next one Brentford, first
27:31
team to score within the 1st minute three times in a in a
27:34
season and doing it all three games in a row.
27:37
Yeah, but they don't, they didn't.
27:38
That's not even included in a row.
27:39
It's just in a season. So they're doing it in a row is
27:42
just mental, is mental. And the craziest thing is that
27:46
the last two were so similar with in Bembo, like the scissor
27:49
kid Folly. Yeah, man, that's like, it's
27:51
like so similar. Oh yeah.
27:53
Blows my mind that that he's done that twice now.
27:55
You. Think what the odds are in doing
27:57
a good. Can we bet on that?
27:59
You know, you know, the thing that's crazy about it is that I
28:02
wouldn't put it past Brentford to have like some because you
28:04
know, they're like so like set piece oriented and they'd have
28:06
all these like, you know, extra stats using it.
28:09
I wouldn't have been to pass them to have like they like they
28:11
start the game with like like like a play, you know what I
28:15
mean? Yeah, it's also worth to note
28:17
that those three games, that's literally the only goal they
28:19
scored. They scored only one goal in
28:21
each one, that is. True, that is really.
28:23
Good. If if you can stop them in the
28:24
first minute, they're not going to score a goal, so yeah.
28:28
Yeah, that's that's that's so true.
28:30
I love that. Stuff though.
28:32
And I shout or I guess we'll talk about that anyway, just
28:36
from Blester, James Justin had that Peach of a goal for the
28:38
second one, a little bit of a fluky one for the first, but
28:41
huge point, huge point game for him. 27.5 Are you guys injured?
28:46
I'm personally not really super interested in him.
28:48
I think that's like he's like a highlight guy to me.
28:50
No, Justin, two seasons ago before he got injured, he had
28:54
that knee injury. Really good player.
28:56
Like there was talks of him coming into the England squad,
28:59
that's that. He was on Southgate's mind and
29:01
all that. And then it just took him a
29:03
while. He started getting speed back.
29:05
I feel like he's had a couple of good games.
29:07
Just keep an eye on him. I'm not saying pick him up now,
29:10
but keep an eye on him. I think he's a good player, a
29:12
very good player. I can I can agree with that.
29:15
And 2020 and 21 season he averaged 10.4 points in 23
29:19
games. All right, so maybe I don't know
29:21
shit of. Course.
29:25
No, I'm with it. OK, you guys all right.
29:27
Baleva from from Bretton Hove Albion scored a goal.
29:33
I personally kind of felt like he's more of a six, but he was
29:35
playing a more of an 8 role this game, so there could be points
29:38
we had there. Obviously his goal was more of
29:39
like Robert Sanchez literally passing the ball and then he
29:41
just passed it back into the goal.
29:44
That's like a huge, huge chunk of his points, but still.
29:47
He's come. He's like come out of nowhere.
29:49
He's been quiet. He was, yeah.
29:51
He's like just a big strong guy, yeah.
29:54
But like what it what's his last couple games?
29:57
I think he's got a couple double digit games. 2026 points, then
30:02
before that he only had 1 1/2 points and then fourteen and
30:05
seven and a half and two points. So it's not.
30:07
Not bad for a defensive midfielder.
30:09
Not bad. Yeah, I don't know, kind of
30:12
defense there. I think that's another keep an
30:14
eye on. And then Lacroix from Crystal
30:16
Palace, he's a defender. Was this his first start or was
30:20
this like, no, he's played, he's played.
30:21
He's played all three games. I don't.
30:23
Think he played three games? Yeah, he's played three games.
30:25
Three games. And he's got three good points.
30:29
16.2510 and a half and seven points.
30:32
Nice. So he's interesting that it's
30:34
interesting like the second Crystal Palace defender we've
30:37
talked about and I just would not even everything to play a
30:39
Crystal Palace defender considering just how it kind of
30:41
lackluster they've been. To be fair, the teams they've
30:44
played have been pretty trashy. Everton, Leicester, Manchester
30:47
United. True.
30:51
That's true. Love it.
30:54
Yeah, so he's he's an interesting 1.
30:55
He didn't. I mean, he obviously got some
30:56
big points for the assist, but he's also a center back in that,
31:00
you know, that system. So I don't expect there to be
31:02
tons of assist for him. Like that's an ongoing thing.
31:05
Everton congratulations, Everton broke the They're officially
31:08
have a win now. There's only what?
31:10
There's only 5 teams that are. Yeah, 25 only 5 teams are we
31:14
let's Jesus. They also they also had some
31:18
production from their defense Tarkovsky at 16.25, Ashley Young
31:22
14.25 and brand wait Branthwaite yeah 10.25.
31:28
That's something I wanted to shout out.
31:29
Branthwaite, he's back. He was.
31:31
He was a very good defender last year.
31:33
He was very solid. I think he was looking at for a
31:35
pick up. Well, even like someone like
31:37
James Tchaikovsky who's been averaging around 10 points for
31:40
the past, I don't know, ever since the past 6-7 years, he got
31:45
off to a pretty crappy start. But looks like, you know, they
31:47
had a good game. Maybe this might be the turning
31:49
point. There is some value on this
31:51
Everton squad. Yeah, Speaking of value in
31:54
Everton, Dwight McNeil, since he's been in the 10 spot, look
31:57
at his games. 26 points 18 1/2 points. 20 1/2 points. 28.5
32:03
points 10.5 points 26 points. Wow, ridiculous.
32:07
What a big deal on the 10 is something else.
32:10
Ranked 5th. Ranked 5th overall.
32:12
On a losing team. On a on a losing team with a
32:15
team with one win. Imagine if he was at a top club.
32:19
I don't think he'd get a start at a top.
32:21
Club, it's like he's like a you don't think he would with those.
32:24
Standards, I don't think. You don't think you you don't
32:27
think like a Newcastle. You play a good well at a
32:28
Newcastle. Maybe in Newcastle.
32:31
I think so. Like him over like a charlatan
32:34
or someone like. Me remember Morgan Gamps
32:36
Pennison, of course. Blackburn.
32:38
Rovers yeah, man, yeah, that's what you reminds me of, that
32:40
player of that. Because we left.
32:42
Yeah, like Matt Leticia, you know what I mean?
32:45
From Southampton. Love that.
32:47
Yeah, I, I mean, I love him. It's it's fun to, it's fun to
32:50
see a guy who's been like in the league for a while, who's been
32:52
really underappreciated for a while, all of a sudden kind of
32:54
bust out like this. It's just it's cool to see.
32:56
He's killing. Did you just switch his eyes?
32:59
Like I hate this guy. He's such a hype.
33:01
We've been talking about him too much.
33:02
No, no, when you said bust out. That that triggered something in
33:09
his fucked up brain. OK, just blessing through this
33:14
Martinelli 25 points. We've been talking a lot of shit
33:16
on Martinelli had a good game. He's been.
33:19
He's been listening. He's been listening.
33:20
I think I was listening to someone talk about how they
33:23
think that with like Timber Califiore and like the that kind
33:27
of saw having a little more support from an attacking
33:29
perspective on that left hand side is really helping him out.
33:32
Well, didn't he had that support?
33:34
You know, with Kiwi or last year who was pretty much just staying
33:37
home on the left. Side Chenko.
33:39
And Zenchenko, who's tucking in the middle and so like having a
33:42
potential over player that can potentially overlap.
33:44
OK. I think is, I think that's, I
33:46
think that's, that was the argument as to why he's doing a
33:48
little better. I thought it was Sterling's
33:51
robbing his ass. That's what I thought.
33:52
And that also might be a pretty big factor too.
33:54
Also, last year before the draft we were talking about Martinelli
33:57
as a potential second round or in the first round pick.
33:59
So there is a lot of like fantasy value in this player.
34:03
Two years ago, he had fifteen goals and five assists.
34:06
Yeah, true. Very true.
34:07
I mean, yeah, we were kind of seeing it.
34:09
Is that his was that his ceiling or We're trying to figure out
34:12
what his floor is, you know, And I think his floor is probably
34:14
higher than what Enzo said it was earlier this season.
34:18
Next one. Did you guys see this?
34:19
So Conante 17 point, 5.25 points got the goal.
34:22
Do you see the post game man of the match thing with him and
34:25
Ryan Grabenberg? Oh, because he didn't get the
34:27
free game. Man of the match and connect.
34:29
They kind of like jokingly, but I was like, what do I have to do
34:31
to Get Me Out of the match? Like I scored a goal like Gary
34:33
Neville. Yeah, they're like Gary Temple
34:35
shows it. He's like, he's a lot Gary
34:37
Neville. But I I really like this point.
34:40
Conante with 77.75 points. Richard Van Dyke was 71.75
34:44
points. So right now Conante is
34:45
outscoring VVD, so that's kind of an interesting thing to look
34:48
at. And then Liverpool's flying high
34:50
right now, so. Yeah.
34:53
You always got to look at the teams, look at the teams that
34:55
are flying high and they go, defenders are active, You'll be
34:59
fine. Yeah, 4 clean sheets.
35:03
Yeah. I mean, that's huge.
35:03
I mean, that's the, I mean, I think, I think Trent is right up
35:06
there, right around the same point, all of these two guys.
35:08
What was that 24 points right there just from clean sheets?
35:11
Yeah, and the two? Teams that.
35:15
The two games they didn't have a clean sheet, they only gave up
35:17
one goal, which is not a negative point, the first one,
35:19
so you're not really losing out on.
35:20
That, I mean, Liverpool defenders right now, I think, I
35:22
think even because like Robertson got injured in that
35:24
game. So whoever comes in in that left
35:26
back spot, I think you can pretty much pick him up and they
35:29
should be starting in whoever that whoever that player is,
35:31
yeah. They're like the Arsenal's
35:33
defensive last year. Liam de la, we'll talk about in
35:36
the waiver section, but he had a beautiful brace.
35:38
He his movement looked really good.
35:40
He's quick for a bigger guy, huh?
35:41
Yeah, you know, he's a man's CE Academy.
35:44
Graduate. Doesn't shock me.
35:45
Doesn't shock me at all. Onana highest scoring United.
35:49
Wait, what's this sounds? What does this say?
35:51
Onana? He's the highest scoring United
35:52
level? What?
35:52
What the fuck does this mean? He's the highest scoring United
35:55
player. We're 11.25 in that.
35:56
Game Andre Onana. Sorry, I was thinking thinking
35:59
of the Acabila Onana. No, no goalkeeper.
36:02
Yeah, that sounds about right. Kasmiro 8.5 and he only played
36:07
half a game. Just shows you how bad the main
36:09
United team play. I can hear Roy Key now.
36:12
Play with passion, you know what I mean?
36:14
Put in a tackle. OK, other than that, soccer 28
36:18
points, all eight key passes from corners, That seems like
36:21
that seems broken. Check it.
36:23
No, I believe you. I'm just saying that just seems
36:24
like a weird thing. He's getting so many. 28 points,
36:28
8 successful dribbles, 8 key passes.
36:31
I, I will say that that's why you drop well, that's why you
36:33
drop soccer #1. I don't think that's accurate.
36:36
A key passes on all of them from corners.
36:37
So that means that every single corner.
36:39
The there was a shot on target. They had a shot, so they had the
36:43
goal and the keeper going to save.
36:45
No, they just have to have a shot.
36:46
Doesn't. Have to It has to be shot on
36:48
target. On target.
36:49
Yeah, like Keeper has to make it safe.
36:51
That's like Shane or hitting the Pulse doesn't 100.
36:54
Percent, 100%. I thought it was they just had
36:56
to have an attacking opportunity.
36:58
Ends up shot on target. There's a reason our record is
37:01
what it is, and your record is what it it is.
37:03
Let's not argue about the Sprint system.
37:04
Yeah, really, what's happening here all?
37:06
Right. But yeah, but I think to my
37:08
point, that's why you draft Saka.
37:11
First takers, yeah, but. These just like, I mean just
37:13
like all these intangible things where you can get 28 points
37:15
without any goals or assists, which is pretty amazing.
37:19
Carl Fiore, 60.25 points. Hopefully he keeps starting
37:23
games. I mean, he's it seems like I was
37:24
kind of worried because he started the midweek game, so I
37:26
didn't think he'd start this week.
37:27
But he the fact that he started again is great.
37:29
I saw a little note saying that he injured himself a little bit.
37:32
Yeah, but. I didn't see that.
37:34
So it looks like he might not play against PSG, but hopefully
37:37
it's not too bad of an injury. Did you guys watch the watch the
37:40
game? I saw the extended highlights.
37:43
Yeah, me too. I honestly didn't think he
37:45
looked that great. At times he looked like he was
37:47
lost. I think it's just a matter of
37:48
him like getting the system down.
37:49
So I think he's going to get better, but it's great to see
37:52
him start especially. I mean, I know I picked him up
37:54
from the roster and started and when I saw he's starting along
37:57
with Timber so. So you're smart.
37:59
Yeah, I have. I have been in another league
38:01
just but no, no, he's just he's good.
38:06
I mean, you're hoping that that I mean you're just banking the
38:08
same way We're talking about that Liverpool left back
38:09
position of Roberts is injured. Like whoever started in the
38:11
Arsenal back line. I think you can you kind of want
38:13
to start and there's not there's not a ton of teams where you can
38:16
say that. All right, moving on to waivers,
38:19
first name on here, we just talked about him, Liam Dillat
38:21
from Ipswich owning 21% of leagues, so.
38:25
He's he's somewhat. Goal dependent like you
38:27
obviously this last game you scored what 25 plus points and
38:30
then the other game that he had a really bust out game was he
38:33
scored like 17 and he also scored a goal in that game.
38:35
And so I think that for for him like that's the case.
38:39
You kind of got to get lucky with goals.
38:41
But when you look at his next few games, last time, Everton,
38:44
Brentford, I'd I'd roll the dice.
38:46
I think that's a pretty good dice roll, especially for
38:48
someone that's owned in so few leagues.
38:50
And like he just like the ends of your point.
38:52
Like that, the way he dropped his shoulder on that second
38:53
goal, like kind of passes the eye test for like he's a little
38:56
Wiley for how big he is, big and strong he is.
38:58
It's a nice fucking move, man. It's good finish I thought.
39:02
I mean, Kerry McKenna has an Ipswitch team looking pretty
39:04
good, like I feel like. They're they're the bear out of
39:06
the three, they're the only ones in the three where I feel like
39:08
they have a chance of staying up.
39:10
Yeah, they they also have been a parlay Busters for us.
39:14
I think both weeks we picked against them, both weeks they
39:16
tied. Yeah, so maybe we don't worry
39:18
about more than this team. I'm picking them against with
39:20
them. Little, little preview, little
39:24
preview, all right, Our mid of the week for waivers is Fabio
39:28
Carvalho from Brentford. Mid second game starting had an
39:33
assist. It was obviously the first
39:35
minute and he didn't do it. It wasn't like he scored a ton
39:37
after, but that was kind of just, that's been Brentford's
39:39
MO, but solid return, solid return.
39:41
The last two games I think it was like 8 1/2 and then this
39:44
game he had like 14 or something.
39:45
So good. He kind of like, to Tico's
39:47
point, he plays in like a tenner just behind the strikers and
39:51
doing that in a team that having midpoints is like great.
39:53
That's the type of player you want to have on your team.
39:55
He doesn't need to be on the best team or something to be a
39:58
good contributor from that role. And their next games are Wolves,
40:01
United, Ipswich. So I think those are also great
40:03
games. Yeah.
40:05
The last one on defence or the last?
40:08
My main one I have some honourable mentions is Ryan out
40:10
Nori. I think that he went -2 weeks
40:12
ago. So everyone, everyone dropped
40:14
them there. He was, he was like -7% dropped
40:18
and so he was down. He's down below 50%.
40:20
And I think he should be owned in most leagues.
40:23
You know, he had a, he had a goal of this game and he's, he
40:25
also had an assist in that game against Chelsea.
40:27
And it just doesn't really look like he did because they scored
40:30
six goals. So he had what -10 because of
40:33
that. But overall, I think he's such
40:37
an attacking force on this Wolves scene, and I think Wolves
40:39
will start to figure this out. Wolves actually had a really
40:41
tough opening start to the season.
40:43
When you look at their games, it was like, I think they might
40:46
have had the hardest start of anyone.
40:48
A switch. OK.
40:51
But. Yeah.
40:52
Also going back to last year, I think they ended last year on
40:55
the losing his cheek and they haven't won this year as well.
40:57
So it's been rough times for Yeah, well.
41:01
But I think they figure it out and then just some honorable
41:03
mentions. We talked about Mark Guahy.
41:05
I think he has some tough games. So he's not.
41:06
That's probably why I didn't that's why I didn't include him
41:09
from like a like a key guy standpoint.
41:12
And then a Lewis Hall. It looks like Lewis Hall
41:13
starting to really lock in that left back position.
41:15
Newcastle and Yep, if Newcastle can kind of lock in more clean
41:19
sheets, then that's a great position.
41:20
I think Johnstone should always just be in the mix.
41:22
Maybe not so many bent like start, but some keep an eye on
41:25
like warning of somebody just if he started, you should pick him
41:27
up and play him. You got to, you know, he's good
41:29
player Ilumen and I talked about him a few times.
41:33
I think he's still a good player.
41:34
He had another solid game for Everton and then I think it's
41:37
time to start looking at Michel Marino coming back.
41:40
There's how much fab you think you should pay for that, for
41:43
that guy? Michel Marino, Yeah.
41:46
Still talk about FAB right now? Oh.
41:47
I thought it's because he's, you know, picking him up.
41:50
Like how much Fab do you think you should spend on him right
41:52
now? Well, if you're in a fab league,
41:56
probably not 28, probably not what I paid for him a month ago
42:01
and I've been too stubborn to drop.
42:02
But I I also think that I think the Rob with Marina McHale,
42:06
Marina right now is that that who's that young guy in Arsenal
42:09
that's been playing pretty well. He came on and played well again
42:10
this week. No named Warney and.
42:13
No Warney, no Warney. So I actually think that that
42:16
that actually might slow down Marino coming in because I think
42:19
with Odegard, Al, if no, whatever that guy's name is, if
42:22
he, if he can continue to perform, I think that's that
42:25
could be it. I also think that he he's
42:27
another name that might be pretty solid to have on here as
42:29
well cuz if he's scored. A pretty good goal.
42:32
Scored a pretty good goal and like I think he might, he's
42:35
really making a claim to start the next Premier League game.
42:38
Mostly a good a good name, good name to think about.
42:42
All right, that's all I got guys.
42:43
That was that was a good episode guys.
42:45
I already enjoyed it. I thought we covered a lot.
42:47
I thought it was. Going to be a lot worse, I'll be
42:49
honest. It's not over yet.
42:50
One, I've I wrote down some Manchester United stuff.
42:53
Do you guys want me to go through him?
42:55
No, no. I just reserve the right to cut
42:57
you off at any moment I have. In and out to eat, so don't
43:00
don't make this long. No, no, it's going to be pretty
43:02
quick. So I could just tower through
43:04
him. So like Liverpool, Liverpool
43:06
have scored more goals at Old Trafford than United have.
43:11
Only Southampton has scored less goals than Manchester United.
43:15
United has five. For the year they have led in
43:19
eight goals. There are four teams that led in
43:21
more goals, but they still have a better plus minus to goal
43:23
differential. You know you're down at half
43:26
time, you get a red card, what do you do?
43:28
You bring in another defensive midfielder and Castimire.
43:30
A fucking idiot. Ahmad was benched for two games
43:33
this year. Both games United lost 30
43:37
against topping against Liverpool.
43:38
And those are the two games that essentially they had guard Nacho
43:42
and the Rashford Star on the wings at the same time.
43:45
And United have zero goals in the three games that Garnacho
43:48
started. Have you?
43:49
Are you done? That's pretty good.
43:52
I I enjoyed every minute of. That I didn't.
43:54
I, I mean, I could tell you my opinions.
43:56
These are just facts. I could, well, I could tell you,
43:58
you know what I think about then how again, all of that stuff,
44:00
but you know. I don't even think we need to
44:02
get into it. I think we just, we know that
44:04
there's a lot of problems. There's a lot of a lot of other
44:06
smarter people than us that are can really analyze.
44:08
That Yeah, let's put this. Maybe you guys.
44:12
Let's let's. Let's let's make a bat.
44:15
Let's let's make a bat game. Let's play a.
44:18
Game last week I was the only one that got it right so I think
44:22
I should go first. I do you know as someone who you
44:25
know has gotten the last one right.
44:26
I want to just impart some wisdom on to you guys who got it
44:28
wrong. My God.
44:29
Fucking hurry the fuck. Up I used some, I used some
44:31
statistics. So something I I read from last
44:34
week was that Brentford had had 19 shots on on target the last
44:37
previous two games in a row. That's why I thought that they
44:39
were good money against Southampton.
44:43
I just want you guys to think about that and as you're
44:44
thinking about what you're going to do here, I personally am
44:49
looking at these games and I actually don't know which one to
44:52
pick. You're fucking long winded right
44:54
now. I, you know, I really, I think I
44:56
just want to go with an easy one.
44:57
I think we've got to get a winner and a ballot.
44:59
I think I'm just going to go Liverpool.
45:00
Crystal Palace got the easy one, first game of the week.
45:02
Just keep it easy. You're saying that's the easy
45:04
one? Liverpool, Crystal Palace, Yeah.
45:07
There's actually a lot of easy ones.
45:08
There's a lot of easy ones. So I'll go there.
45:10
I'll I'll start it off easy. I'll make it easy for you guys
45:13
to kind of follow my footsteps from.
45:15
Now go on Taco. You know what, I'm going to go
45:17
with Newcastle just because they're plus 110, they're not a
45:22
A minus, so I'm going to go with Newcastle.
45:24
Right, and I'm going in with a switch.
45:26
So that makes it plus 4600. Oh my God.
45:34
OK, so I'm doing this right now between 1864.
45:39
Can I say something else on that?
45:43
Just just listen to the rationale.
45:47
The last game of that week is on a Sunday.
45:49
It's the Tottenham game. If we bet on that game, it
45:52
brings up to plus 10,000 and we have the option to hedge or cash
45:56
out early if you get everything right on the on Saturday well.
46:01
OK, fine, fuck it, five pick parlay.
46:05
All right and play some the bat. This has been episode 60 of
46:12
Draft off sides. My name is Keith.
46:15
I'm with Keith Bonenza. We will see you next week.
46:17
Follow us on all the things, all the social.
46:25
I just had my just closed my door.
46:27
My dog just busted in and just did a lap around my room and
46:29
looked at me and just walked out.
46:31
You know, you're on that stupid podcast again, aren't you?
46:33
That's what he said to me. With his eyes.
46:36
Just with his eyes. Yeah.
46:39
For fuck's sake. For fuck's sake.
46:41
I can't fucking wait for this podcast.
46:43
Just FYI. You know, as a, as a, as a
46:50
winner, I just don't really think it's appropriate to punch
46:52
down. So I'm going to, I'm going to be
46:54
pretty, pretty respectful on this one.
46:57
I'm. Going to tell you right now.
46:59
Keeps going for an emotional fucking tidal wave right now.
47:02
One week he's fucking depressed, the other week he's fucking top
47:05
of the fucking mountain top. Yeah, that's that's fantasy for
47:08
you. You know it is fantasy for you
47:10
well. He's not by himself at the
47:13
mountain top, you know. But you are below him, yeah.
47:16
I mean, you're like still on the summit, I'm at the top.
47:19
I don't know what the, I don't know the terms, but I think
47:22
that's pretty close to accurate. You know, you know what it is is
47:24
when you get to the top and there's just, you know, like you
47:27
want to take a stuff before the Instagram, you could there's
47:30
only enough space for like one person.
47:32
So it's like he's up there, like taking the picture.
47:34
But I'm like right there. But Enzo's still down at base
47:36
camp, right? I'm fucking all the way down the
47:39
bomb. I haven't made it past the
47:40
fucking ground level yet. Fuck, you know.
47:44
Enzo's like, can you guys just tag me in?
47:46
I don't want to come up there. It's like I had the last couple
47:48
weeks, I had a little bit of hope.
47:49
I was I'm here we go. That's.
47:50
What kills you? Hope that kills you.
47:52
Fucking home and then this. This.
47:54
Week not Freddie were not in the loop.
47:56
So last week I went over to and Tico and Enzo Baltimore 2 now
48:00
and they were they were giving me shit and I was feeling really
48:02
bad. And then this week Tico and Enzo
48:04
played each other in both of our leagues and Tico won both games,
48:09
and so Enzo is not in the best place.
48:12
No, it didn't help me both personally and in fantasy.
48:16
But the good news is Tottenham absolutely demolished United, so
48:19
on some level you got one up on Tico.
48:22
I don't know. I'm an emotional fucking, I
48:24
don't know what it is, turmoil. I'm happy.
48:26
I'm not. It's not in that I'm happy I'd
48:28
be Man United. It's not because I because Tico
48:30
says he's a fan, because I don't believe he's a fan yet.
48:32
You have to be a fan for at least 5-10 years at least for me
48:34
to take you seriously. What hurts is that I lost him in
48:38
fantasy. That that that's what hurts.
48:40
He also ruined our parlay. Hold on, you ruined our parlay
48:46
too. Yes, the yes.
48:49
First Lego was the first. No no, no no.
48:53
It's still whoever wins it. The first doesn't matter.
48:54
It's the first. That's not true.
48:57
You guys are both wrong. I was right.
48:58
So we had a three-game parlay. I got my part right.
49:00
You guys got your part wrong. I think Sergey.
49:03
Was the three the three, the parlay was it was Arsenal the
49:06
win which happened? That was like our Sergey won.
49:08
And then Tigo you had Aceville beating Ipswich, which earned.
49:12
And then Enzo, you had Brentford beating who?
49:16
Where's that by sample? Well, let's be honest.
49:19
Here with beating Southampton, I was.
49:21
I was winning that thing. After 5 minutes I already knew I
49:24
was I already. Knew that, but let's be honest
49:26
now estimate of verse I switch. That should have been a foregone
49:30
conclusion. Am I correct?
49:32
Mine was more 5050. I was in one gambling.
49:35
He wasn't even gambling. So he lost.
49:36
He lost on the easy bit. That's fair.
49:38
Yeah. He really, he likes slipped
49:39
walking. He was slipped walking down a
49:41
fight there. No, I'm just saying facts.
49:44
Am I? Can I say facts?
49:46
Hey, did you Hey, did you hear what Tigo said?
49:48
And I can't remember what chat room was because there's so many
49:50
I'm I'm into any chat rooms with Tigo.
49:52
But he says he doesn't have opinions and like smart people
49:56
only talk facts and he says he only talk.
49:58
How many opinions have you heard from this soul patch porn stash?
50:02
Bald headed motherfucker.
