0:00
Hello and welcome to episode 125 of Draft Offsides.
0:03
I'm with Tikko Enzo. My name is Keith.
0:05
Follow us at Draft Offsides. Go ahead and give us a follow at
0:09
at all the places, wherever, where, everywhere that you can
0:12
be followed at except for only fans.
0:16
We're willing to open it. We're willing to open it if
0:19
there's some demand for sure. But we, but we, we didn't know
0:21
what you want to see first because we're not just going to
0:24
open it. Just open.
0:25
It's just gonna be ends of crying after Tottenham games.
0:27
That would that could that would probably get some that could get
0:30
us some money. There's some weird, there's some
0:32
weird king shot there, that's for sure.
0:33
OK, Tigo, you want to take the headlines?
0:36
All right, let's go. So some headlines.
0:39
So Villa drop points to leads this actually, when I looked at
0:43
the their lineup, this was like crazy.
0:45
Ross, Martin, Leah Bailey Doctors Louise Jaden Sancho,
0:49
Tami eyebrow got playing time in 2026 Talk.
0:52
About Blast from the past these players.
0:57
Interstate, yeah. OK, so of those people were
1:02
hopeful that Leon Bailey was going to be fantasy relevant, he
1:04
wasn't really. He scored.
1:05
He scored. He scored like 6 1/2 points in
1:07
the 1st 10 minutes and then didn't score.
1:10
We've seen him do that like subbed off like the 50th.
1:13
We've seen him do that so many times.
1:16
Douglas. Douglas Willis.
1:18
Still relevant? Yeah, Jayden Sancho, not really
1:20
relevant, right? Tammy Abraham came off the bench
1:22
and scored, but in like, so I guess like he'll be, he'd be
1:25
relevant if you ought to start. Yeah, yeah.
1:28
And then Ross Barkley around like he who's been the best year
1:31
in the recent history in the Premiership, that gets no
1:34
playing time. Yeah, yeah.
1:35
Yeah, Remember that year was that last year, two years ago
1:38
where Ross Barkley was, where he was playing in talent was like
1:41
actually like a fantasy. Relevant.
1:43
Yeah, he was like 10 plus points.
1:45
That was fun all. Right.
1:47
OK, what else? James Milner breaks the record
1:49
for most EPL appearances. Can we Can we put asterisks on
1:52
this though? It's the minutes thing.
1:54
Yeah, it's the minutes thing I don't want, you want.
1:57
To tell people what the minutes thing is.
1:58
I don't know exactly how much it is, but I know it's a fucking
2:01
big amount of minutes. Significantly less than the
2:03
second guy. Who's Gareth?
2:04
Gareth Berry. Yeah.
2:07
Yeah, that's cool. I didn't.
2:09
It's still, it's still great that he's got that many
2:11
appearance in the league, but it's pretty.
2:13
Amazing his there's range of teams.
2:15
I remember, I remember watching him as like a 19 year old play
2:17
for like Newcastle, as like a winger.
2:19
He's played, he's played with, I think they said like there's
2:23
like a certain amount of percentage of the.
2:24
Premier League, of the entire Premier League, it's playing
2:28
four against like a huge percentage, yeah.
2:30
It's. Ridiculous.
2:31
When you Google his name, there's confetti fighting down
2:34
with soccer balls of 6, the number 66154.
2:37
Oh, really? Really.
2:38
That's how I'm gonna do that right now.
2:40
Yeah. James.
2:41
No. I love it doesn't happen that.
2:44
Is that is really fun. That's great.
2:46
I'm really, I'm really good. I'm glad.
2:47
I'm glad Google did that. Yeah, that's great.
2:50
OK. What else we got?
2:52
Chelsea dropped points to Bradley in the 93rd minute.
2:54
Is that really like a headline? It is a headline, headline, OK.
2:57
Yeah, but The thing is, are they still in the Champions League?
3:01
Yes, yes they are. They're in 5th place.
3:04
They're in 5th, which they'll probably get Champions League,
3:06
yeah. Yeah, they'll probably get
3:07
champions. League, yeah, I mean, I think, I
3:08
think you what you, what you're looking at is you're looking at
3:10
their last two games against Leeds and Burnley and they got a
3:13
total of 2 points in those games and that's that's four points,
3:17
that's four points lost and you have Liverpool looking pretty
3:20
good that's, you know, they're starting to kind of turn it
3:22
around. United's there.
3:23
It's just like. Yeah, it's, I mean, we could
3:25
also deny though. That's them in the world.
3:29
Fuck off. It could be.
3:31
We could also include Arsenal drop points to Wolves because,
3:34
you know, it was midweek. Did it really include that?
3:36
So London is breaking down all right.
3:39
Breaking down. Moving on, this is something
3:43
interesting they said during the game.
3:45
Arsenal have never lost the game to Tottenham in the year that
3:47
they won the champion the Premiership.
3:50
Yeah, but there's been years where they haven't won the
3:52
premiership and they beat us both times.
3:54
I know, I'm just saying. If they had lost to.
3:57
It. Then I get it, I get it.
3:58
But it's it's just a bunch more, just more fucking.
4:04
Number monkeys throwing their numbers around.
4:06
Yeah, yeah, that's not fun. Let's let's keeping it on
4:11
Tottenham. Why does, as they taught them,
4:12
ends? I don't mind that, but don't,
4:15
you're wrong. Don't.
4:16
He's got five goals against us. Good for him.
4:18
Yes, it's for the year. He's got 6 for the year. 500
4:21
margins Tottenham the. Lichy is probably not going to
4:24
start another game for like 7 more games.
4:27
They don't play Tottenham again. No.
4:29
All right. Yeah.
4:31
Do you think that this kicks as a on to start mark?
4:33
Do you think Odegard is like going to come back in and just?
4:35
You think he you think came scoring a hatch against
4:38
Tottenham was going to get him to start more?
4:39
What happened right after that? I think he didn't start in the
4:42
next game. I think he must.
4:44
Yeah, I think he got more starts after.
4:45
But then he just didn't do much. He hasn't.
4:47
Started in like fucking six games before this.
4:49
Yeah, not before this, but I mean, are you, are you still as
4:53
ever? Are we still off as a like
4:54
there's no point that you're not trying to trade for him or
4:56
anything. It's literally.
4:58
You're not trying to make any sort of moves in that direction.
5:00
It's like you're only playing if he stalls.
5:02
I think the concern is too is it's not just Odegard now,
5:06
right? It's Kai Harvard just coming
5:07
back. It's playing in there.
5:08
They soccer played there against Wolves.
5:11
So it's not even just, it's not even like there's one guy that
5:13
he's competing with now. And you can't handcuff him with
5:16
anyone you can handcuff him with.
5:18
Kai Harvard, I don't know. Yeah.
5:19
This like it could be out of that.
5:21
I have it Marnelli soccer. Who's who you're handcuffing
5:24
with? But we should make like a mental
5:26
note that for next year, whenever Tottenham play Arsenal,
5:29
let's bet the overall goals for SA that should be.
5:33
If Tottenham's still in the league.
5:34
And it as a still like even remotely starting games.
5:38
Yeah, OK, what's next? Words was a late scratch but
5:42
Liverpool still went in a 97 minute.
5:44
Didn't watch this game but all I saw in red was that Forest
5:47
outplayed the shit out of them. Forest.
5:49
First half for sure. Second-half it was a little.
5:52
505050. 50 I thought Forest deserved a point, though it
5:56
didn't. It felt it felt undeserved for
5:58
the. Didn't deserve to lose, yeah.
6:00
It was an amazing loss for you though, and you should be happy
6:03
about this. Yeah, I need.
6:06
It was. No, it is actually weirdly,
6:08
yeah. West Ham Wolves.
6:10
Yeah, West Ham draw. Yeah.
6:12
Drop points too, Like I said, not a good week for London clubs
6:15
except for one club. And that one club's Arsenal.
6:18
Yeah. And it was like a semi good, it
6:20
was like a, it was a really bad first half of the week and a
6:23
good second. Yeah.
6:24
And then on a good note. You really got to stop saying
6:26
their name. I don't want I don't want to see
6:28
us on the recap mixture with this.
6:29
Again, Arsenal, Arsenal, Arsenal Fuck.
6:32
Real Madrid. Real Madrid.
6:33
Real Madrid. OK.
6:36
Those are our headlines. So we're going to go to waivers
6:38
to go. You want to talk through your
6:39
three and then I'll go through my like 4 or whatever.
6:42
Yeah, let's get through it. So First off I have Matt
6:44
Hermanson, keeper for West Ham. He's roster at 7%.
6:49
His averaging 14.5 points over the last three with a total of
6:52
12 saves and 22 clean sheets. Only considered one goal in
6:56
three games. And his coming schedule is kind
6:59
of friendly, Liverpool, Fulham, Man City, Villa and Wolves.
7:03
So initially starts off a little difficult, but we also like the
7:07
busy keepers. So at West Ham are kind of
7:10
playing better recently. So I kind of like this this
7:13
option. West Sims events has been very
7:15
good. Axel Dezasi came in in January
7:17
and it's made them look much better.
7:19
I guess the question is, is I thought Ariola was the keeper,
7:22
when did that shift? When did that change happen?
7:24
I think Hermanson was injured. I think he was the starting
7:26
keeper when the year started. Pulling that up right now.
7:30
And I think he was hurt and he's just been back.
7:32
Yeah. Yeah.
7:33
So he started the first four games, got injured and Ariola
7:37
was playing. Now he's back.
7:38
Was he the less he? Was he the less the goalkeeper?
7:41
He was, yeah. And he was good there.
7:44
I mean, yeah, when you look at his three scores since he's been
7:46
back, it's an 18.75, a 6.25, then an 18.5.
7:50
Damn, It's pretty good. Yeah, and he's only 25 S No
7:54
point in playing Ariola at this point.
7:56
Yeah. Yeah.
7:57
I mean, are you dropping? Are you like dropping like a top
8:01
10 keeper for him pretty quickly?
8:03
Yeah, boy, there's not. There's not that many top top
8:05
keepers are. There's like 5 of them.
8:07
I mean, I mean, right. And it was Selziger 2.
8:09
There's not is there any keeper that's is there any keeper
8:12
that's really standing out like way ahead of the pack?
8:14
Like there what? You know, like there was no,
8:15
it's much tighter now, huh? No Rolfs.
8:19
Oh, Rolfs. So there's like Rolfs, but it
8:21
kind of balanced out. He's been on a kind of a not so
8:24
amazing. Of a down swing a little bit,
8:26
yeah. Honestly, like I was looking to
8:28
drop Dean Henderson, but then he had the three-point game because
8:31
of Palace defense not being as great as it was earlier, so I'll
8:35
see about that. When he got the penalty saved,
8:37
that's what it was to. Yeah, that's what did it.
8:40
But I mean, the next goalkeeper I have on the waiver is let me
8:43
move on to him. I think he's a better option.
8:46
I don't know how to pronounce his last name.
8:47
First name the Jorda Jord. Jordy.
8:50
Jordy Petrovich. I guess Jordy Petrovich keeper
8:54
for Bournemouth. Roster is 50% so it's right
8:56
there. Averaging 13.9 over the last
8:59
four games. 18 saves, 2 clean sheets and look at the schedule
9:03
Sunderland, Brentford, Burnley Man U If you're not salivating
9:09
over that schedule, you know. For Bournemouth and who and yeah
9:12
and. Then.
9:15
Yeah, OK. I just I just put it a wave
9:17
acclaim for Matt Hermanson because I was looking at my
9:20
keeper is Robert Sanchez and if you look at Chelsea, they are
9:23
conceding goals. So might as well.
9:26
Yeah, I'm down bad. Might as well to make a swing.
9:29
You know, I like I like both of these guys.
9:31
I like Patrick. OK, cool.
9:32
I like both of those guys. Who else you got?
9:35
Tyron Minx, defender for Villa, rostered at 90%.
9:38
He got off to a great start but then he was injured.
9:41
He's started three games since he he came back and those three
9:44
games he had 3.70514 points, 9.5 points and the alchemy schedule
9:49
is Wolves, Chelsea, United, West Ham, Forest and Sunderland.
9:55
Villa defense is pretty good. They don't score a lot and they
9:57
don't let in a lot of goals as well.
9:59
So this if you need to defend it, this could be a good one to
10:01
ride for the next 5 game weeks. I like it tried and true too.
10:08
You kinda know what you're getting.
10:10
And yeah, OK, I'm gonna I'll take over from here.
10:13
Next on here is Randall Cola Melani, 24% owned.
10:16
I think the biggest thing is that he's played with Igor
10:18
Tudor, the new Tottenham coach before and he Tudor got a lot
10:21
out of the met Juventus. Five goals in 11 games isn't
10:25
bad. Yeah, no, not at all.
10:27
And so, yeah, I think there's something there.
10:29
And I mean, he's scored against, he's scored against Arsenal.
10:32
He really probably should have had a second too.
10:34
And we'll talk about that. But yeah, so I think, I think, I
10:38
think it's worth a pun, especially if you're in like
10:39
desperation mode and most people have at least one forward spot
10:43
that they'd they'd like to look to upgrade, you know?
10:45
Yeah. Next on here is Seth Vanderberg
10:48
from Brentford. 24 or 42% owned. He's pretty much shaken over the
10:52
Nico Collins role at Brentford, which is the like the defender
10:54
that just gets a lot of points, you know, the busy defender.
10:58
It's the fourth week in a row we've had him on waivers, yeah.
11:01
He still hasn't, he still hasn't risen above so I think probably
11:04
the most smart leagues he's gone.
11:05
But we're checking next on Alex Jimenez, Bournemouth, 28% owned.
11:11
He's been great the last few weeks and then like Bournemouth
11:15
has been on a really good run too.
11:16
So I think just like kind of one of those like ride the
11:18
Lightnings. Same with what Chico's kind of
11:19
talking about Jordy Petravich and like and like Zach, like his
11:23
their next few games are great, like Sunderland, Bradford,
11:25
Burnley. Yeah, another one on here more
11:28
interesting. And I just wanted to include a
11:30
mid because I think we're a little mid.
11:31
Short is Jacob Ramsey. Interesting to see if he can
11:36
keep his spot because Bruno G is out, Julie Ellington is on his
11:39
way back. So it might be a little bit of a
11:41
of a shot in the dark. But he's previously scored well
11:43
in previous seasons and if he kind of gets a good run of
11:45
games, I could see him doing well.
11:47
He's capable of scoring a goal, so I think there's something
11:50
there. It's just a matter of if he's
11:51
he's going to have enough opportunity last.
11:54
Two games he started at 17.75 and 14 points, one goal. 72
11:59
Yeah, yeah, so yeah, he's had he's had some performances and
12:02
those are both he had one goal, one assist, but like even if you
12:05
take out those, they're OK. Like not, not terrible from a
12:10
ghost standpoint. So OK.
12:12
And then three just really quick ones, just like Flashes, Batman,
12:17
Newcastle scores well, scores well when healthy.
12:20
He's almost back from an injury. It was rumors that he was going
12:22
to come back this weekend. He didn't, so maybe next week.
12:24
But pretty much if you look at his scores since he's been back
12:27
from his injury before that, they're all pretty good and that
12:31
that whole Newcastle team looks better when he's in it.
12:33
Oscar Bob, I think it's finally Oscar Bob time Tico.
12:36
If you all this all this you're all your wait is finally over
12:40
just because Chu Quezi's injured and looked like Kevin went off
12:43
in half right ends up or you came off came off and so.
12:47
Right before half, yeah. Yeah.
12:48
So it leaves, it leaves the the door open for Oscar Bob to get
12:51
some time. So that's exciting.
12:53
Keith, anytime you say is the last time you have to say.
12:55
It's Bob with two bees. Bob, Bob with two bees.
12:57
Ask Bob to do that. Yeah, yeah, sorry, guys.
12:59
My bad, my bad. And then the last one I have
13:01
here is Axel DSC. Solid showing since he came to
13:04
West Ham. I think he's had two double
13:05
digit games and and three. It's kind of like riding.
13:08
I think you got to respect what Nuno does to defenses.
13:12
You saw it at Forest last year. He's had some time at West Ham
13:15
and now they're playing his style of of of ball.
13:18
Disaster. He looks like he wants it to.
13:20
Yeah, I think disaster is trying to get a paycheck, you know, but
13:23
it'll get some money, get a good move out of Chelsea somewhere
13:25
else. All right, that is waivers And
13:29
like want to kind of recap, I guess this recap let's let's as
13:32
we go through these games, let's let's recap.
13:33
These are like key moments and let's talk up just about like
13:36
looking ahead to so we don't you know about like what, what this
13:39
means, what these what these games mean for the players to
13:41
have First one on here, Allisonville, Leeds United.
13:45
We talked about Tyrone Ming's hitting 9.5 points, averaging
13:48
9.1 since we checked from India, which is great.
13:51
We kind of briefly touched on Tammy Abraham's coming on and
13:54
scoring. I guess the question is, is do
13:56
you think that he, do you think he's done enough to take that
13:59
job from Molly Watkins? Not yet, but I still think he
14:02
could take his job. I like something, yeah.
14:05
I think he's he's got a little bit more to him than Watkins has
14:08
at the moment. Watkins it's he doesn't have the
14:11
confidence in front, but. When he came out, he didn't come
14:14
out for Watkins. Obviously they were behind.
14:18
They needed to score, so it's possible both of them could play
14:20
at the same time. Yeah, it's not really Emery's
14:24
style though to play 2 strikers. It isn't, but yeah, I think
14:28
there's maybe more of a desperation thing, but who
14:30
knows. I think it's I thought it's
14:32
interesting that Watkins scored. She had 9 fantasy points, all
14:36
ghosts, which is rare for him. It's very rare he gets a good
14:39
ghosting game. Yeah.
14:40
What was the ghost? Was it like key passes?
14:42
I'm assuming or? Two key passes, one shot on
14:44
target, 2 tackles, 1 a couple aerials.
14:47
So there's a couple things that you won't do there, which is the
14:50
2 tackles made. You know what I mean?
14:52
Yeah. Cool.
14:54
And then the I think the leads, the big talking point on leads,
14:56
Anton Stash's back, he scored that really amazing set piece
14:59
goal that just caught Martinez off.
15:02
Martinez is maybe the most overrated goalie.
15:07
Do you think so? I mean, we've talked about this
15:09
before, but I just feel like. Yeah.
15:10
I don't know if it's it's, it's other people.
15:12
It's hard mistakes. I feel like he.
15:13
Doesn't make a lot of mistakes, but I think he's more of a shit
15:17
Houser. International does really well,
15:19
but he's a shit Houser keeper. Like just he gets in your head.
15:22
If he gets in your head, you're not going to be well here soon.
15:25
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But but Verstash, I mean he's
15:28
just he's back in and sliding in.
15:30
He's probably a mid 2 for most for anyone and he was free at
15:34
all different three points of the season so.
15:37
You know, let's say the 16th right now.
15:38
You think you trade high and try to get something good for him or
15:42
you want to hold out. I mean, you think I can?
15:45
Like what? What though?
15:46
Like, OK, like here's a good example that's a personal
15:49
example is that I have like a lot of defenders right now.
15:51
So I have like good defenders. I like Lewis Hall.
15:53
I have, you know, like very tradable defensive assets, but
15:57
like, I don't think anyone's going to trade stash for a Lewis
15:59
Hall, you know what I mean? I don't, I don't think like I
16:02
don't, I don't know what you get first.
16:04
I mean, I think the people who have stash recognize this value
16:06
is kind of what I'm saying. You'd have to trade.
16:08
You'd have to trade like a big name that's under forming, maybe
16:10
like a masala. No, I would hold on towards
16:14
because this is the end of the run, right?
16:16
So you're coming to the finish of the Premier season and look
16:20
at their schedule. They play Man City which
16:22
obviously sucks, but then they have Sunderland Palace,
16:25
Brentford, United, Wolves so they have a very friendly
16:28
schedule. Bournemouth, Burnley.
16:30
Tottenham. Brighton too.
16:31
Jeez, that's amazing. Until the end of the year, like
16:34
Burnley, Tottenham, Brighton and West Ham.
16:38
So they're only going up against from the powerhouses, just City.
16:42
Wow, so I think it. I think it's, yeah.
16:46
I think if you're in the league when if like stashes on someone
16:49
who's like in the middle pack, you're fighting for the
16:52
championship, I think you should trade for him.
16:54
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think that's, yeah.
16:55
I think that's kind of what I was saying.
16:56
Like if you had Mosala, would you trade away Mosala for Anton
16:59
Sash? Oh, that's what I was saying.
17:02
Yeah, yeah. Where's the context?
17:04
I mean, he's not Gabrielle. That's that's proven to be a
17:07
good trade so far. For those for those who don't
17:10
know, I traded Mosala for Gabrielle on October 30th and I
17:16
think it's been a good trade. You remember the date.
17:18
I looked it up. I looked it up yesterday.
17:20
I got curiosity and yeah, OK, moving on.
17:23
Next game, Brentford versus Brighton, Hove Albion.
17:26
What were the score? You don't have the scores on any
17:27
of these. You forgot to put the scores on
17:29
these. Chico, they met.
17:30
Brantford 2 or no? Brighton, Hove Albion 2,
17:33
Brentford zero. What's the score of this?
17:36
Yeah, 20 Brighton one. Yes, 20 Brighton one OK
17:40
Brighton's top 3 scores are rostered are all from this game.
17:43
Rostered in less than 50% of leagues which was Diego Gomez
17:47
17.75 at 28%. Rostered.
17:50
Part for Brugan at 17.5, points at 29%.
17:53
Rostered in Fred Ferdie Kadiaglu at 17.25 and 42% rostered.
17:58
Who might be going back to left back?
18:00
I think he was at left back. Was he was he at left back in
18:03
this game? Yeah.
18:04
Because of like some players coming back again.
18:08
How much water does this hold? Yeah, I mean, they're, they're
18:11
the ultimate. Like the star is born every
18:14
every week. You know, yeah, I like to.
18:18
So it's hard, it's hard. It's hard to judge a bit of you
18:20
if you want to chase lightning. Who of the three, I think I
18:24
mean, Katiaglu probably is the one that I think has probably
18:27
been the most consistent from these.
18:28
Yeah, right. Unless you have some sort of,
18:30
even if you're. Playing left back, he plays
18:32
pretty high up on that left hand side.
18:33
So yeah, what's why is like players like Matoma who just
18:38
become non existent to this. I mean.
18:41
The team is weird, I mean, so let's just let's go through
18:44
Danny Welbeck's scores and get set. 14.75 points, first goal,
18:47
eight games. Does he highlight another
18:49
season? Is he, what Does he get another
18:52
season, you think? Did we lose that?
18:55
He won first. I mean, he's only 35.
18:59
You know, they who they how they sold a bunch of young strikers.
19:01
Who's that one striker they had last year?
19:03
Jiao Pedro they do have. Jia, but there.
19:06
Was that one Irish kid too? Well, yeah, I think they got rid
19:09
of him, Yeah, or he's at least on loan.
19:11
But he had an injury. He never came back the same.
19:14
You think you it was the question is he is Danny Webb
19:16
like gonna play another season? Yeah, I would if I was him.
19:19
So he's. I would if I was him, but, well,
19:22
Brian doesn't care. Do you think that tell Danny
19:26
Webb, I, we know that Danny Webb is a little bit of a streaky
19:29
player, right? Does that mean does that make
19:32
you curious and snagging him and seeing if we can ride a little
19:35
lightning? If you're desperate, I'm I.
19:37
Mean most most people are for forwards.
19:40
I'm pretty fucked, desperate. I've got fucking 3 bowling.
19:44
Sports, I've got ya. Kuba Minta.
19:46
No minutes again. Last start December 20th.
19:49
Drop time. Yeah.
19:51
There's something going on with the coaching hammer.
19:53
So there's something weird because it's like this is beyond
19:56
the the the time frame. That's then here's here's the
19:58
rub. You drop Minta and then if he
20:01
gets a start. He's fucked, you're fucked.
20:03
Like he's just he's someone's going to pick him up and it's
20:05
going to and then, you know, so I think there's a little bit of
20:08
I think I think what you're really hoping for is if you if
20:11
you decide to hold on a Minta is it that the coach has fired
20:15
because it's who it's like something like whatever that's
20:17
really what's left the rather. Kobe might Kobe Maynu's sort of
20:20
fucking thing that. Happened.
20:21
I think that's I think that's more the closer to what's going
20:23
on or. Arrow Wampusaka thing that
20:25
happened. I think that's exactly what's
20:27
going on. OK, yeah, Thiago, no goal, only
20:30
one goal in the last sixth game. He's finally cooled off a little
20:33
bit, lost his chance to catch up.
20:34
The Holland, I think he was, that was, that was a full formal
20:37
conclusion he was ever going to do that.
20:39
I think as soon as someone gets too close the Holland, he's
20:41
going to score a hat trick out of nowhere.
20:43
Yeah, I think the thing with strikers in general is like you
20:46
look at strikers and they go on these runs and they seem
20:48
invincible and then they just get a little cold.
20:51
And then like, I think it's that's why it's so hard to
20:53
roster like a like the run 3 strikers successfully in fan
20:58
tracks. Fantasy is so difficult because
21:00
strikers are just so volatile, you know, with the points.
21:06
The thing, the closest one that had at the beginning of the
21:07
season was fucking Sergey. Sergey still has it.
21:10
I mean, look at his strike, look at, look at his Sergey and our
21:14
league he has. Job Pedro He.
21:16
Has job Pedro Yorkers and Semenya which is this week is
21:20
like you're a genius but if they don't score they could all I
21:23
mean you could only. Get and Yoker is the worst one
21:25
there. And he drafted him in the first
21:27
round just for for Thiago, Do we think Thiago could repeat what
21:33
he did this year for next year? Or is he going to be like Wood
21:37
from last year for Forrest? One year?
21:40
One no, I think I think he's a goal scorer.
21:42
I I think like I think he was as hot there for a minute.
21:45
And so he was probably a little above, but I think at the end of
21:47
the day, like he knows how to put the ball in the back of the
21:49
net and clearly he did it. He did it a good right.
21:52
And like when you look at Chris Wood and that was like the team
21:55
thing, like when Muno laughed and like he got injured.
21:58
And there's a lot of factors where Thiago, I think as long as
22:00
he's healthy and Brentford kind of maintains consistency, I
22:03
don't, I don't see a reason why he wouldn't be a solid, solid
22:06
striker. And just real quick for to go
22:09
back on then you all back for next year, this year he's
22:12
getting paid 3.9 U.S. dollars to play 2.9 million million.
22:17
Go play somewhere as a backup for like half of that, right?
22:20
The bench. Why wouldn't he?
22:22
He's got. He might.
22:22
He might say it Brighton. Yeah.
22:25
Or say it, Brighton. Yeah.
22:26
Yeah, pretty lots of seaside. Yeah, yeah, because we all know
22:29
where Brighton is. By the sea, I just gave you the
22:32
fucking answer. Oh yeah?
22:33
Well, now. Seagulls.
22:34
The Seagulls from the from the Mascot.
22:37
Don't worry. OK, Chelsea one Burnley 1 Joe
22:40
Pedro scores early, five in the last six with five assists.
22:44
Two of those were penalty draws, but still they all count.
22:48
They all count on fat drinks. 15.25 points, he's probably the
22:52
him and he's is he the most informed striker right now?
22:55
Is there another striker you can think of that that's more
22:58
informed than him? You're.
22:59
Crash. Oh, you're Crash, probably.
23:01
And that's it. And then you're Crash.
23:03
No, now yo, Crash has eight goals in in in the last 10 games
23:08
or something like that. Crazy.
23:10
Yeah. What?
23:10
No. No, he scored two years on them.
23:13
Obviously he did score the last game.
23:16
Since January 3rd, this was only his fifth goal.
23:19
Yes, five goals in the last. Competitions.
23:21
All competitions, sorry. Hey, who cares who do you hear
23:25
something if they come like 5th division?
23:26
Yeah, still. So let's go.
23:29
In form, so let's go in form because I'm starting games so
23:32
it's so difficult, but OK. He has I got 3.
23:35
Let's let's not get super side checked.
23:37
Chelsea, Burnley 11 Wesley Vafana gets a red and still it's
23:40
8.75 points which is pretty amazing.
23:44
We got -7. Yeah, super. 8.75.
23:47
I think he got the assists, right?
23:48
Yeah, he got this. No, he didn't get this.
23:50
He. Didn't get the assist.
23:52
I think Wesley Von has kind of stepped on as he's a really good
23:55
point generator, but his issue is that he just hasn't been
23:57
starting consistently enough for people to appreciate it.
24:00
But when he's when he plays, he should be started.
24:04
Also it feels like Chelsea always lived in a lot of goals
24:07
even though that's not true. Since when?
24:10
Since since the new coach has been there, they have been a
24:13
little soft. But even for the year, they've
24:15
only allowed 31 goals, which is tied for fourth best.
24:20
Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I think, I think with the
24:23
new coach, I, I, I just think that there's going to be, I just
24:26
think there's more goals. I think they're they're going to
24:28
score more goals, but there's more goals, you know?
24:30
Which one is this? I don't know.
24:32
I don't have that phone. It's an iPhone.
24:35
That's what, yeah. I don't think what.
24:36
Happened again, All right, Paul Cole Palmer gets taken off
24:40
because was it the fun for fun? I got the red.
24:42
You still finished with 10.5 points, which is fine.
24:45
And you don't. Screw this week.
24:47
You can't get that amount, I mean 10.5 points.
24:49
No, I'm just saying, but the capabilities of like the players
24:52
getting taken off early and not getting the clean sheet points.
24:54
Where they get it, Zian Fleming scores the 93rd minute winner.
24:58
It's pretty gross and disgusting and sad and.
25:01
Did you hear what your your manager said?
25:03
That there was a missed missed assignment.
25:05
Yeah, and they didn't want to call someone out.
25:07
Yeah, it happens. Whatever.
25:09
Well, you thought that was a weird thing to frame.
25:11
I thought the way he said it was like he knows what I'm talking
25:14
about, like he called out. I think, I think you could, if
25:17
you re watch it, anyone knows who, Everyone knows who it is.
25:20
Yeah. And it's Andre Santos.
25:23
Oh, no, not is that right? Yeah.
25:26
Andre Santos. He missed his he missed his
25:28
marketing assignment. Oh, yeah.
25:31
So it was Ian Fleming, sixth goal.
25:33
JWP came on and got the assist. Every single time that JWP gave
25:38
a a corner, it looked like it was going to be a goal like his.
25:41
His corner delivery is still so goddamn good, so just send me to
25:45
note as if he does start starting into Burnley.
25:48
Maybe. OK, moving on next one West Ham
25:52
zero Bournemouth 0 for a 00 game.
25:54
There's quite a bit of notes here, but I I think that's a
25:56
testament to the fact that it was actually a pretty fun game.
25:59
I'm not sure if you guys watched it.
26:00
But it's. It's pretty exciting.
26:03
Yeah, some goals. West Ham had eight players
26:05
scored double digits. You see Ryan Ryan's run.
26:08
Oh, Ryan. Ryan had that run for the board
26:10
with player. It's so nice.
26:12
Mason SC scored 14.25 points, which is good.
26:15
James Hill does James Hill things again with 12.
26:18
The creepy groupie tour continues with 11 points.
26:22
Yeah, it's just like the clean sheets will add to that.
26:25
I, I would say the big winner I think for me the last few weeks
26:28
is just West Ham and like West Ham assets.
26:30
And I just, I'm sorry, I kind of believe that they're going to be
26:34
pretty darn good for the rest of the season as far as like
26:37
delivering points. You think they'd get a
26:39
relegation? Yeah, I think, I think, yeah, I
26:41
think Forest goes down is my my bet right now.
26:45
OK look at Tikka. Fucking say Tikka you piece of
26:47
shit. No, I'm not gonna say it.
26:52
Just fucking say it. Say I I don't think it's between
26:57
Forest and Tottenham in my opinion.
27:00
No, what was I? I.
27:01
It's so hard. I think the winner of that
27:03
matchup, the loser of that matchup, goes down.
27:07
OK, it's probably Tottenham. All right, let's.
27:10
Go we're. Going to celebrate that day
27:11
every year I. Don't see it.
27:12
I don't believe that. I don't believe that Tottenham.
27:15
Have you watched Tottenham play? Yeah, but I just.
27:18
Did you see that clip of eager Togo like yelling at fucking van
27:22
der Veen to put put press up high and van der Veen do you
27:26
want to do should? We should we should we skip to
27:28
that game? Do you want to talk about that
27:29
game? No, just OK, let's keep.
27:31
Let's say let's stay on track then.
27:33
Manchester City 2, Newcastle United 1.
27:36
Nuko O'Reilly as a as a first half brace almost out of Hache.
27:40
What's going on? What are you laughing at?
27:42
Nothing, just feel like I got scolded right now and I've got
27:46
go in the corner and turn around or some shit.
27:48
But you're done, kept on. It's like he's passing notes
27:51
around the classroom when he got caught.
27:52
I know dude, I can't. Like there's no free speech
27:55
here. This is why I'm leaving America.
27:57
Trying to keep us on track. You go Riley first half race
28:01
Marmos with the assists on the first one.
28:03
I don't remember who was the assist on the second.
28:05
Holland. Holland people.
28:07
I mean, people were very pleased with Holland's performance in
28:11
this game, even though he didn't get a goal.
28:12
Obviously the assist scored 17 points, his high scoring game of
28:17
his career when he doesn't score, that's interesting.
28:19
Second in the league and assists this year.
28:21
Needs one more for career high. That's, that's a great, yeah.
28:24
Yeah. Yeah, seven.
28:25
Yeah, he has seven assists his first year in the league he had
28:28
eight. So if he gets one more, he will
28:29
tie his UK career high. Don't know how much he had in
28:32
Dortmund or like his fucking yeah, Norwegian or dangerously
28:35
yeah, but yeah, it's 7 assists for him.
28:37
It's like amazing. You would never have thought.
28:41
I would have never thought. Yeah, we can mention it.
28:45
Marmouche gets a start. I think that's he was dropped in
28:48
our league, in our 10 minute league, so so I picked him up.
28:52
So I'm hoping that he gets a little round of games.
28:54
But that's an interesting Shirky came on the 50th minute and
28:57
still managed to get eight points.
28:59
See a must start even on the bench pet proof.
29:02
Maybe. I always, I always think that's
29:05
risky business. I don't think.
29:06
He's pet proof, but I think if he gets on the field, even if
29:09
it's like 5 minutes, he's going to get you like a solid 56
29:12
points. Yeah, I mean, he did dribble
29:13
past some motherfuckers. When was hold on let me pull
29:16
this up. See when was the last time he
29:18
didn't get any playing time? The the the the last time he got
29:22
zero playing time was October 5th and and that spent the
29:27
lowest amount of playing time he had was 7 minutes against
29:30
Fulham. But usually when he comes up,
29:32
it's around like 20 to 30 minutes.
29:35
And then he's going to, you know, he's going to just
29:37
generate points because that's what he does.
29:38
Yeah, yeah. I mean, I, you know, I hate
29:41
doing that, but I get it. It's just it's too nerve
29:43
wracking for me to just to start a guy that's not start a guy
29:47
that's not starting helping. He's going to come off the bench
29:50
and score points. Risque.
29:51
Does not feel good. I I think him and Sesko are the
29:54
ones that are the ones that you I would consider.
29:58
Yeah, I mean, Sesko's. It's fascinating.
29:59
What's going on with Sesko. Yeah, he just comes off the
30:01
bench and finishes. I'm fascinated.
30:04
I'm fascinated OK on this one though, Jacob Ramsey 17.75
30:08
points we talked about him got an assist.
30:11
I mean, it was I don't know how much of like a true assist it
30:13
was in the sense that like he didn't really do much.
30:16
He just like passed the ball or it was a deflection or something
30:18
and Lewis sounds. Less is more.
30:20
Yeah, but yeah, Lewis Hall had this, had the Newcastle United
30:24
go off a deflection and got performance from him and then
30:27
just another disappointing effort with from Newcastle
30:30
forwards. Yes, I was a late scratch.
30:33
Yeah, I was a late scratch. Court didn't underwhelm, but it
30:38
was. I mean, yeah, there just wasn't
30:39
much there, but. He's he's so much better in
30:42
fucking Champions League. What does he have?
30:44
Nine goals in 10 games. Like 9.
30:45
Goals or some of the Yeah. Four goals in the first half.
30:48
Yeah, but that was all against Squareberg or whatever, so we'll
30:51
see what they do in a second. You still got to put those balls
30:54
in. Man, yeah, he did it.
30:55
I mean, I mean, I think at the end of the day, he made some
30:58
comments are interesting about the Champions League and how
30:59
it's easier to play. So I think that, yeah, I just
31:03
think that I think if Anthony Gordon was playing in Spain or
31:06
somewhere else, he'd be like people would think he he was
31:09
amazing. It's just because he's.
31:11
At Barcelona, yeah. I'm not sure.
31:12
At Montana. Yeah, no, I think he would be
31:15
like, I think. He would be like.
31:16
Stop that. He would be.
31:17
What do you mean let's stop that La Liga?
31:18
Let's stop that. He doesn't have the quality for
31:20
La Liga. He clearly does, because.
31:22
He clearly does. He clearly does not.
31:25
What? Where?
31:25
Where did you guys say he clearly does?
31:27
Because he's scoring goals. OK, We.
31:30
Don't really, Yeah. No, wait, wait, hold on.
31:32
Sorry. We're talking about Rashford.
31:33
But you, you, you think that Andy Gordon have the quality for
31:36
La Liga, but I OK, but I don't that's not even going to say I
31:40
think that he has the athleticism for any league other
31:42
than the Premier League. I think of any other league.
31:44
He's running through teams, he's running.
31:47
He's so much faster, quicker, but in the Premier League that's
31:49
muted a little bit. And so it.
31:50
Doesn't seem like because other leagues I'll press you his but
31:53
love the premier. League his speed, I think, and
31:55
in the case in point is the. Champions.
31:57
He's a poor. He's scoring so many goals.
31:59
So against one team to go. Gordon, it's all sorts of teams.
32:02
He's scoring. He's against all sorts of teams,
32:05
not just Quarterberg, whatever. Anthony Gordon doesn't have the
32:10
technical skill level to be La Liga.
32:13
He would be great at serious. He has he's, he's a pretty hot,
32:17
pretty high technical skill player.
32:18
Anthony Gordon, I think you're just pulling stuff out of you,
32:21
your backside. No, I'm a smart.
32:23
OK, next game, Crystal Palace one, Wolves 0.
32:27
Pretty devastating. Palace got it, gets a 90 minute
32:30
90th minute goal. It's hard to hard to see that
32:32
happen. Dean Henderson saves the PK,
32:35
finishes the 30.5 points might have potentially once you go his
32:38
match up for his Enzo this week. Jorgan, Strand, Larson another
32:43
start but he didn't get his monster score like he did again
32:48
last week. He's only managed about 4.75
32:51
points Crystal Palace defenders 8 this game.
32:55
So they all performed well. All, all five of them, I'm
32:58
guessing. Chico, Ben Bueno, 18.75 points,
33:02
that's that's a few games in a row now.
33:04
He's just been a dominant force for Wolves.
33:06
Stop, stop, forget. Do you think that he goes some?
33:10
He must. He's probably going to stay in
33:12
the Premier League. You think someone takes a risk
33:13
on him or no? There's.
33:14
Going to be a bunch of players that leave.
33:16
All these, all these teams that go down, there's going to be a
33:19
bunch of players that leave. You think there's a few that are
33:22
going to stay because there's enough quality on the team?
33:25
I don't think there's going to be too much though.
33:27
I could dairy. He'll he'll stay wherever his
33:29
name is. The other bueno?
33:30
My name? What about money?
33:32
Money will stay because no one's going to pick him.
33:35
Up, yeah, but they'll be interested.
33:36
They're going to offload a few top.
33:38
They've already offloaded Strand Lawson, so that's already one
33:40
wage they have to deal with so. And then the last note here that
33:44
Chico left is Wolves already did their job for the year with the
33:46
Arsenal tie. I would argue that Wolves still
33:48
need to score two more points to do their job.
33:50
So to keep Darby at the bottom of those as the worst Premier
33:54
League team ever, they need to score 2 points in 10 in 11
33:57
games. Wolves to take it.
33:59
They deserved it. I don't know, I I like that.
34:02
I I just like I have a jersey from that Derby team, so it'll
34:05
it'll be annoying if they lost the record and when I wear that
34:08
I can't they when I can't be like worst, worst ever.
34:11
I hope they get the record so I could.
34:13
I would buy a Wolf's jersey. I hope things I'll buy the
34:15
Wolves jersey. Too.
34:18
OK next game, not even 40 Liverpool One.
34:21
Alexa McAllister gets a late equalizer, has 17.25 points.
34:25
He also had one disallowed like 5 minutes before which was
34:28
crazy. Have you noticed Alexa
34:30
Mcallister's actually had a couple good games in a row now
34:35
or like 3-2 out of his last three have been really good and
34:38
I wonder if it's time to start looking at him as as a viable
34:41
fantasy. I said.
34:43
He, I mean, he's been having a very disappointing year, so.
34:46
Far. Oh yes, but it's like maybe,
34:48
maybe now, I mean. What's changed that he's going
34:51
to improve? Like he's actually been playing
34:53
games. I don't think he was playing
34:54
that much. No, he's, he's been 22 starts
35:00
out of 26. Yeah, yeah.
35:01
So. But what do you what do you
35:02
think's changed in the last two games where we scored a 10.5 and
35:05
a 17.25? Nothing.
35:07
Well, competition. They play against Forest and
35:09
Sunderland. Well, when you look at the rest
35:11
of the schedule, I think their schedule's pretty good.
35:13
It's West Ham, Wolves, Tottenham, Brighton, Fulham,
35:17
Everton, Palace, that's a pretty good schedule.
35:20
Wasn't really going to win a lot of these like I'm sorry,
35:22
Liverpool's probably going to win.
35:24
Could I can see Liverpool winning the next 1234567 games
35:27
in a row? They're going to fit strong, I
35:29
think friend pucks coming back to but so this last game week
35:34
words didn't play. Obviously that factors in and
35:36
then the previous game didn't AKTK get a last minute scratch
35:39
or he wasn't playing I? Don't remember.
35:41
Yeah, OK, I see what you're saying.
35:42
Fair enough. They can't do this again where
35:44
they saw getting late goals again.
35:45
It's it's not sustainable. Yeah, yeah, it was it was a
35:50
bummer. I thought Forest played pretty
35:52
well and they probably deserved some out of this game.
35:54
So it's hard. It was hard to see a little bit.
35:57
Liverpool centre actually combined for 39.75 points.
36:01
Kannada 18.5 Van Dyke 21.25 Wow, now is without any goals or
36:06
assists or did one of them get an assist?
36:07
Did Van Dyke get an assist? I think he.
36:10
Got an assist? No, there was.
36:14
How does he get so many points? Well, he got the.
36:16
Clean sheet, Van Dyke got the assist.
36:18
Yeah, they got. The Yeah, oh, that's why.
36:20
And he got the clean sheet. Van Dyke is the last two games,
36:23
is 50, is 50 / 50 points in his last two games, a 29.25 and then
36:28
a 21.25. Pretty amazing.
36:30
And then there's a no that says Forest didn't and then didn't
36:35
isn't complete completed being written.
36:38
So I'm assuming that that that was just was some supposed to be
36:42
something Tico and that didn't happen.
36:44
Forest just couldn't score. Maybe let's let's ad Lib for
36:47
Tico. Forest didn't have enough
36:49
firepower. They didn't have enough to put
36:52
it away. Yeah, OK.
36:54
Like that Omar Hutchinson didn't perform well, I don't think Cal
36:58
Hudson, Dory performed well. I don't think any of the
37:00
attacking players really did much.
37:02
But I think better weeks ahead for Forest, I think there's.
37:04
Munya is doing umm, so I'm just thinking about defenders.
37:08
All of a sudden I'm thinking about Munoz.
37:09
OK? Wait up.
37:12
OK, let's talk about Munoz for two seconds.
37:14
How's Munoz doing, Tico? Great, great.
37:17
I think, yeah. Ever since he came back, this
37:20
was his first great game. Let me pull that up right now.
37:23
He had 14.25 point. No actually the last four games
37:28
has been killing it 10/12/14. I just haven't heard Tico
37:32
speaking about Munoz in like fucking 4 pods that's why and
37:35
he's usually up his ass. Well, you know, a certain
37:39
someone over here thought he was going to have a bad year, but
37:41
he's having his best year so far.
37:43
I didn't think he's having his best year so far.
37:45
You can say that. I mean, 12.8 points versus 12.4,
37:48
it's not that much better. But for the sake of my argument
37:51
and shoving it in Ezo's face, yeah, yeah, yeah.
37:54
Well, he's definitely repeating. I think the problem with Munoz
37:56
is that he's just, he's like, he's like 28 or 29 already,
38:00
right? He's still in his prime.
38:01
That's his prime. Yeah.
38:02
So I think you can get a, you're going to get.
38:03
Why don't you make a Goodyear out of them, hopefully in the
38:05
primary thing. You can get like two more good
38:07
years out. He's 29, but his birthday is
38:13
what is his birthday? I think the rabbit is.
38:15
He's going to be 30. He does so much running.
38:20
It's not like he's like a 29 year old Bruno Fernandez or
38:22
something that just sits, you know, and and kings good balls.
38:25
He's he's running up and down the field like a madman.
38:27
But yeah, OK, next game, Sunderland, one full of three.
38:31
Sunderland are 99 and 9. That's very interesting.
38:34
Is that true? Nine wins, 9 straws and losses.
38:37
Yeah. Wow, that's kind of fun.
38:40
Dan Ballard, 15.25 points. Continues to be a pretty
38:42
dominant force on that defence. Kevin starts and gets injured.
38:46
Negative. Or is it?
38:48
Or just two point 2.5? Yeah, so he's probably.
38:51
So I think this is where you're talking about Oscar Bob being
38:53
super viable all of a sudden, right?
38:55
Yeah. Raleigh Menez gets a brace and
38:58
scores 24.5 points. One good goal and then one
39:01
penalty. Alex and Wolby becomes Alex and
39:04
Wolby scores 24 points, but there I I wouldn't consider them
39:09
a well be points, which for us are just means ghost points
39:11
because they were assists. Yeah, and I don't know either
39:15
about you guys, but I was unfortunate enough I played
39:17
against Alex. Will be Andrew Jimenez on the
39:19
same team this week and that all things could be. 48 points total
39:24
man. Yeah, I lost.
39:25
I lost in our main league because of that.
39:28
So it sucks. Any other idea?
39:30
I don't want to talk about it. The guy that I traded as a 2 who
39:35
also just crushed me. Alejandro, Alejandro.
39:39
Yeah. That's brutal.
39:40
He he texts me before the game. Would you start Mickey van der
39:43
Ven or Eze? And I was like, bro, it's a no
39:45
brainer. Are you?
39:46
You're helping him, really. He he texts me bro, I didn't
39:49
reach out to him. He texts me responding.
39:51
But that's a that's a no brainer.
39:54
Hey Keith, really good question. Do you still want top them to
39:57
get relegated or no? I'm changing my mind, slow but
40:02
surely. It's a no brainer Keith, so I'm
40:06
on. This just yeah, I mean that is a
40:07
no brainer then, then against Arsenal, come on.
40:10
Come on, man. Oh yeah, he's just trolling.
40:13
Speaking of Arsenal, a lot, Tottenham a little.
40:19
Official score is 41 if we're going to keep track, your
40:22
scores, your scores. And against another small club.
40:26
He had 2427 points, two goals Yokras has scored.
40:32
I think what how many goals do they have total?
40:34
And nine in the Premier League? I think 6 of the 9 have been a
40:39
bit like 6 of the nine. It's like majority of his group
40:42
goals have been against about 6:00.
40:44
But I guess so let's try to get out.
40:45
He has ten goals, he has no assists.
40:49
The only goal he scored against a good team is everything.
40:54
And Leeds if you want to count it.
40:56
No, no. So everything.
40:58
And I don't even know. I don't even know if.
41:00
Ever in top team that's still a mid table team.
41:02
That's like the best team that he scored against.
41:04
Tottenham 2, Sunderland 2. Leeds one No Leeds.
41:07
Three right. Ever. 12:50 Bramley won for
41:12
Sunderland Leeds 2 and. You got two against Sunderland.
41:15
That's that's probably the best team he scored two against.
41:17
What's Sunderland? That's it, yeah.
41:20
So what we're getting out here is that.
41:22
You were right about this. Bum he scores against teams that
41:25
are inferior, OK, but he's still scaring goals.
41:29
I mean he's definitely on a better streak now than he was
41:33
he's ever on a better streak now that he has been right.
41:35
Like he's definitely like he's definitely looking better than
41:37
he was at the beginning of the season.
41:38
I think that's. What's his running games?
41:41
What's the next games for Arsenal?
41:43
Chelsea, Brighton, Everton, Bournemouth, City, Newcastle,
41:46
Fulham. He's not going to score until he
41:48
plays Fulham. I mean, Brighton, Everton
41:50
potential. He wants to go again for him.
41:52
Right. But didn't Fulham beat Arsenal
41:56
both times last year and also this year?
41:57
Or Titan. Yeah, fun do Wellness.
42:00
Awesome. As they own Tottenham 27 points
42:03
as well. Last time he scored was November
42:05
23rd when he had a hat Rick for Tottenham.
42:07
I like this, the argument you had, like would he score more
42:10
goals at Tottenham than he would have done at Arsenal and.
42:12
I am saying he would have sweared well let's totten the
42:14
new to Arsenal because just look at how many goals he scores
42:16
whenever he's out in the field with the Tottenham players.
42:18
So, so funny. Feels like Hincapie has taken
42:23
over the left left back position 12.25 points.
42:25
I would tend to agree with you. I think that it's his to lose
42:29
until something changes, but that change could be something
42:32
small. You know, I think that at the
42:34
end of the day, Cal Fiori just injured so much.
42:36
He's been so in and out and I think that Hincapie just offers
42:38
a little more solidity on that side.
42:40
He does. He does well.
42:41
He does a job there, he does well.
42:43
Just real quick, Arsenal been fooled them this year and last
42:47
year they beat him and tied him once.
42:49
Yeah, yeah. So interesting.
42:52
We talked about Kolamwani. He had 15 points, probably
42:54
should have had another goal. I'm sure you saw this, Enzo, but
42:58
it was just very weird that that was called a foul on him, on him
43:02
for that slight little push on Gabrielle when that's almost
43:06
identical thing happened with Ekatique and Romero earlier in
43:10
the season, and then that was allowed.
43:12
A very similar thing happened with Gabrielle and Voltemaud
43:14
earlier this season, and that was allowed.
43:16
So I just feel like there's a little bit of inconsistency
43:18
there that if I was a Topic fan, I'd be very frustrated by it.
43:20
I was, I was just, it was just soft.
43:22
It was it's just, it's just, it's just refs.
43:24
And like if the ref had called it a goal and not foul like.
43:28
They wouldn't have fucking been brought back.
43:29
So you're thinking it's just a matter of that.
43:31
Yeah, it was just. The the ref's decision far
43:33
wasn't gonna. Wasn't going to intervene and
43:36
OK, fair enough. Yeah.
43:37
Then I want to talk about this. And he brought it up a little
43:39
bit earlier. The damning video.
43:40
Is it a damning video of Shooter and van de Van where he's
43:43
screaming at van de Van to get up the field and Van de Van is
43:46
clearly just looking at him and just walking.
43:48
Is it a nothing bigger? Is is it a nothing bigger?
43:51
Is that like a really damning video?
43:52
No. That's that's that's sort of,
43:55
you know, he's there to do a job.
43:56
He's not going to make friends, right?
43:58
He's there to win some games. So make sure we don't get
44:01
Renegade. But when you're yelling at the
44:03
captain and telling him to push up and your start of play is a
44:06
high press like that's that's your start of play.
44:10
But your captain at the time is looking at you like who the fuck
44:15
are you? I'm not going to do it.
44:18
And then you show. You show fucking as a man.
44:21
You show you're exasperated, yeah.
44:24
It it doesn't show good sports. OK, my question is like, I well,
44:29
I don't really understand why he wouldn't do it like that.
44:32
To me, that's that's a vain event.
44:33
Like that's like that's in these are more red flag and that
44:36
something's wrong in the dressing room with the players
44:38
and the attitudes of the players.
44:40
Because I think so that guy's been there for like a week and
44:42
you can't say that you don't respect him already.
44:44
You know what I mean? It's not like I understood where
44:46
they they lost faith in Thomas Frank and by the end they're not
44:48
playing for him. But like at this point it's like
44:50
this guy's been here for a few days.
44:52
How are you not going to do the things he's asking you to do?
44:53
Two Tudors already well known for his abrasive coaching style.
44:58
So yeah, I don't know, I have no idea.
45:01
But there's there's there's a mentality thing wrong at
45:03
Tottenham Bin Laden for a long time so.
45:05
Hey, why are Tottenham players incapable of doing like
45:08
back-to-back positive things? Like they do dribble, then they
45:13
give a bad pass, they give a good pass, and then like why
45:15
can't they do like 2-3 things good in a row?
45:18
The last time we played well and we have some kind of positivity
45:21
was Pochettino. If you rethink about it,
45:23
Mourinho defensive Conti Conti didn't stop playing full no.
45:30
It was the first half, it was the 1st 10 games in the inch was
45:33
the last time you played. Well with that you started.
45:35
Yeah, yeah, that was that was true the last time.
45:37
The last time there was joy. You had joy.
45:39
It's the, it's the injuries that we call them community ball
45:42
guards on the phone that to. Me is the most damning thing and
45:45
I don't understand how there hasn't been more of an inquiry
45:48
into what is the hell is going on in your because it's fitness
45:51
physio. Like what is?
45:52
There's clearly something that is darkly wrong with the way
45:55
that your players are training or recovering or something.
45:58
It's more entertaining to talk about Tottenham being spazzy
46:01
than us having a better injury line up on the pitch.
46:05
OK. Did you guys see that the whole
46:07
thing with like, so there are these rumors about the San
46:09
Francisco 49ers. Do you see this where they're
46:11
like they built their they built their practice facility right
46:13
now. It's like an electrical like,
46:16
and it wasn't like an electrical grid power plant or something.
46:19
And so there are these speculate and like San Francisco's known
46:22
for having just the like tons and tons of muscle injuries and
46:24
stuff. There's a speculation that that
46:27
that all that high like electricity emission is like
46:30
affecting all these athletes. And so I'm wondering where
46:33
Tottenham train? Do they train at the stadium?
46:35
And so they probably don't. They have a.
46:36
Facility somewhere they train. So where they train?
46:39
Are there any power plants around there?
46:41
No idea. Can we look into that?
46:42
I'm. Looking I'm on it.
46:45
You're on it. Yeah, and and remember when the
46:48
year started, you guys beat Burnley 30, then Man City 20,
46:51
how happy you were? Yeah, yeah.
46:55
No thanks for. That bro.
46:56
OK, yeah, I I think that's, I think that's worth a a deep
46:58
investigation, investigational dive into what's going on
47:01
without injuries. Anything else to talk about
47:03
there? Are we done?
47:05
We're done. Xavi Simmons had a shit game.
47:08
What after After having a few good games, he had a bad.
47:11
Game. What was this shit game?
47:12
He had like a zero. He scored like less than a
47:14
point. Did he?
47:15
Yeah, pretty sure maybe Maybe you should like to trade events,
47:18
huh? Or drop end.
47:21
Yeah, I don't know. Maybe you should check your
47:22
inbox and see if there's any. Trades.
47:23
No, I checked, I checked my inbox.
47:25
I didn't like what I saw. Someone was trying to rape me.
47:27
He had a 0.75 year, right? But he's he was, he's doing,
47:31
doing pretty good Before he had six games in a row.
47:33
So I'm not worried. All right, last game of the
47:35
week, Manchester United won Everton zero.
47:39
Can I say something? One, I am not that impressed
47:44
with United really. I'm just not that.
47:47
I just like I'm watching them struggle against Fulham, I'm
47:50
watching them struggle against Everton.
47:52
And like I'm just like, I'm like looking at these games and being
47:54
like they're not seeing anything that's like, yeah, they've
47:56
gotten the results. They've gone their way, they've
47:57
scored last minute winners. They've had that.
47:59
They've had the plan A is not gone to plan.
48:02
And then they bring Susska off the bench and he managed to get
48:04
a last gasp winner or whatever. But like, it's just, I'm just
48:07
saying that it's like it's not as convincing as it seems.
48:10
It's kind of like reminds me of Liverpool at the beginning of
48:12
the season where they're pipping over the cracks with late
48:14
winners. So late winners I agree with
48:16
you, but start a play and where they're playing they look
48:20
better, especially with the passing from defence to midfield
48:24
to forward. OK, correct.
48:25
They're they look better. They look a.
48:27
Lot, yeah, they definitely look better.
48:29
That's without. Yeah, when you look at them,
48:31
you're not. You don't think, oh, this team
48:32
could win a championship. They could, you know, fight for
48:34
the title. But what they were under?
48:38
Cameron. The one before him then how you
48:40
can hammer it to what they are now.
48:43
It's a lot more fluidity and it feels like they like playing for
48:46
the manager. There's like fighting teams.
48:48
So that's what it is. But when you look at them and
48:50
also I feel like Cunya is the one who's been suffering the
48:52
most fantasy wise today he had an I don't know if you guys
48:55
watched the game. The hockey says he had to him 10
48:58
that amazing. Yeah, that was like what should
49:01
have helped you. That should have been, should
49:03
have been points, you know. Yeah, but as far as like them,
49:06
like they're amazing now. But I was actually thinking
49:10
while watching this, is Bruno Fernandez the greatest EPL
49:14
fantasy player of all time? Oh OK, fantasy player.
49:18
Maybe PP and he beats like a KDB solely because of the amount of
49:22
games he plays. The longevity of it.
49:24
Longevity and the fact that KDB had these big big periods on the
49:28
on the bench where Bruno pretty much plays what, 37 to 35 out 38
49:34
games every season don't. Leave Harry Kane's name out of
49:36
this too, man. But how many years was he there?
49:39
Harry Kane. Yeah, 5678 years.
49:43
How many years? Yeah, Well, no, when he was
49:47
elite in Tottenham, he. Was like 7-8 years at least, but
49:51
he was at Tottenham for like 10 and in those the two years where
49:55
he was an elite he was still scored like 1012.
49:57
Goals, he was good, but I I think I think when you look at
49:59
actual points like they're like over the long period, over a
50:03
period of time, not not goals, but when you look at actual
50:06
fantasy points, I think Greenough probably.
50:08
Probably takes I I think KDB hit a year where he averaged like 20
50:11
points a season, which is like insane yeah, like there's also
50:14
obviously masala is in the yeah, there's.
50:17
Been a few years where masala has been just.
50:18
Yeah. But I think you're talking about
50:20
longevity over? Yeah, I yeah, I think it would
50:23
be most all like Kane and Bruno right now in the conversation,
50:26
Yeah. OK, so here's a a metric you
50:28
guys, I was looking at some like obviously the draft society,
50:31
they have that useful draft metrics and they updated semi
50:34
semi regularly and the last update was 19th of February.
50:38
And it's I was looking at war, which is you guys, we've talked
50:40
about war before. Like usually the draft times
50:42
like wins above replacement. So the amount of wins they're
50:45
going to give the play, this player is going to give you X
50:48
amount of wins a year just solely by themselves, like
50:51
they're going to earn you this many extra wins.
50:53
And like a good number is like maybe just right around one.
50:57
OK, that'd be like a you're an elite.
50:59
If you're around 1, like you're you're an elite.
51:00
You're in the top ten, you know, top ten player, top 20 player
51:04
around 1. Bruno Fernandez 2.22 point 2.
51:08
The next best is early Holland 1.86, Declan Rice 1.66, Gabriel
51:14
1.4. So he is in a league of zone
51:17
from the from his ability just to affect you to winning games.
51:21
Wow. Which is really, Yeah.
51:24
And they wanted to sell him. I know, but do you think this is
51:28
his last year? Could, could, could we be seeing
51:30
the last year being Fernandez? How many how many years he's got
51:32
left? Tiko Bruno who?
51:34
His contract, Bruno. He might be on the move.
51:38
I, I think, I think you have to move on from him, sell high
51:40
because you have somebody. Changed.
51:43
Yeah, yeah. You know, you know he goes to
51:46
Man United to take his place. Morgan gives White Fuck you.
51:51
Eventually, I think it's more like they have Cunha playing in
51:54
that central role, yeah. Yeah.
51:55
That's probably what I would do. Yeah, I think they they'd
51:59
already replaced him and they couldn't.
52:00
Get rid and then bring back Marcus Rashford and make Marcus
52:03
Rashford. He's already said he won't play.
52:05
He won't play. No, and also Barcelona want to
52:09
sign in. Because, you know, they're
52:11
probably going to win a Liguer again this year.
52:13
No, they're not. Any other any other notes on
52:15
this game before we just meander off?
52:18
I think it was Cesco was the note.
52:21
You know who's been kind of playing pretty amazing?
52:24
Coming off the bench and scoring goals, essentially.
52:27
Yeah, Joro started this week. I think he's been starting since
52:31
he's been back. Let's see Chico the goalkeeper.
52:35
The goalkeeper Lament has been pretty, pretty solid as.
52:39
Well, Chico, you've been sharing with Bueno coming off.
52:42
Was that an injury? It looked like you got a knock
52:44
of some kind, no? I don't think it was an injury.
52:46
I was watching the game. They didn't say on the
52:48
broadcast. OK.
52:50
Yeah. OK.
52:52
So the Newcastle stadium, the closest power plant, is 1.3
52:58
miles away, so that's not the case.
53:00
But no, but that's not the same. We need to find out where the
53:02
training facility is. Yeah, from the training facility
53:05
I found out. But we're not.
53:07
We're talking Newcastle that we're talking.
53:09
No, I'm sorry. Tottenham.
53:10
Tottenham, yeah. 1.3. Still close enough to fuck SO.
53:15
No, the the San Francisco one, it's only like.
53:19
It's like 30 meters away. Yeah.
53:21
It's like 30 corner to it. Yeah.
53:22
As far as you maybe it's something else, but it's worth
53:25
looking into. OK Anything else do we want to
53:28
talk about? I know it was obviously
53:29
matchups. We we kind of don't really.
53:31
We I guess we're kind of out of time.
53:33
So we're not, Yeah. We don't need to go over
53:34
matchups. Around 28.
53:36
Good luck. Wave, Yeah, good luck to you
53:38
boys. Good luck.
53:38
Oh wait. Well, Arsenal versus Chelsea.
53:42
What about it? Sergey has a chance back-to-back
53:45
weeks to like, gloat over you guys, Chelsea.
53:47
Should we? I feel like should we watch that
53:49
in person? I'm trying.
53:50
Should we try and make it? Are you working in what?
53:52
Day is it? Sunday I.
53:54
Watch Monday mate. Oh wait, am I off Sunday?
53:56
March 1st. I might be off.
