Hello and welcome to episode 128 of Draft Offsides.
0:03
I'm with Tiko Enzo. My name is Keith.
0:05
Things are heating up, boys. How are we feeling?
0:09
It's a Enzo. Are you feeling a little better
0:11
today than you did yesterday with the Tottenham jaw or is it
0:14
is it really a big? Point.
0:15
Yeah. But what the problem is, is that
0:18
it was only a good point because the other teams didn't get
0:20
results either, you know what I mean?
0:22
And that's three weeks in a row. Now that's three weeks in a row.
0:25
How much longer can we, like, stand on that frigging tether?
0:29
Treading water? You're not making progress.
0:32
Yeah, Chin. Chin, chin, chin is above.
0:35
But we play Forest this week. I think the game of the week
0:38
without a doubt, right. That's like, I mean, and that's
0:41
I think it's the last game of the week.
0:42
I think it's the Sunday 7. It's like the later game on
0:45
Sunday, too. And.
0:46
I can't believe I'm going to say this.
0:48
The secret weapon for Tottenham, It's for charlatan.
0:54
For Charlatan, he's the relegation.
0:57
Get out of fucking trouble. King did it.
1:00
So much for evidence. I think he's going to do it for
1:02
us too. Who fucking would have known?
1:04
Keith, I was telling Anzo before he jumped on.
1:07
I'm like, it's going to be kind of cool having a friend that was
1:09
first has a team in the championship.
1:11
I'm starting to think that they're going to survive again.
1:13
I, I literally, but I waffle every single day, every single
1:17
day, every single week, every single moment.
1:19
I'm I'm waffling on on whether who's going to make it through
1:22
or not. And I and I know Tico does the
1:24
whole freaking, you know, smallest violin, but the amount
1:28
of the injuries is fucking insane.
1:30
No, it is. Of course it is.
1:31
I mean, I, I don't, I think everyone agrees with that,
1:33
right? Is there anyone that's saying
1:34
that that's not the case? I mean, you have to, I mean, if
1:37
if I mean, maybe not this bad, right.
1:40
But any team, if they're losing, their starting pretty much the
1:42
whole starting 11 and barring like one or two guys, they'd be
1:45
pretty bad. And you see that in these games
1:46
where they play against like a lesser team, they, they bring
1:49
out like 8, you know, bench players and they lose to like
1:53
Port Vale or something like that.
1:55
Bro we only had enough players to put up 6 Subs out of nine
2:00
Subs. What happened with?
2:02
Why isn't Gallagher playing? Injured.
2:05
He's he's injured now and then what?
2:07
And Romero and Paulina concussed each other.
2:10
That's that's just like comedy of errors type stuff, bro.
2:13
OK, but you got you got a point. Let's talk waivers and then we
2:17
can kind of go into some recap stuff.
2:19
I think the biggest thing with waivers this week is the fact
2:22
that it's a quadruple blank for Man City, Palace, Wolves,
2:26
Arsenal. So none of them are going to be
2:28
playing this game week. And so that creates a lot of
2:31
headaches if you have a lot of those players.
2:33
I know that Tico on one team at least has what at Nori and Nunez
2:38
and you have a club. 12 men. Yeah, Doreen, Nuna, Sharky,
2:42
Strand, Larson and Tarek Mitchell from Palace.
2:45
I have 5 players that if. That's a whole bench.
2:48
So you pretty much need to make sure that everyone on your bench
2:50
gets playable or so you're going to have to drop someone.
2:52
What's your? What's your?
2:53
Plan. I also have Dean Henderson, so I
2:55
have to if I in order for me to put out a 11 man lineup, I have
2:59
to drop a player. Yeah, but you're OK to drop Dean
3:01
Henderson South of the world? I think I'll probably drop
3:04
Larson and keep then Henderson. He's been pretty good goalkeeper
3:07
and yeah, it's been pretty steady.
3:11
Larson has been like very He has to score.
3:13
Up and down. He has to score, he only did
3:15
Will against Tottenham. He's like the pure.
3:16
She's like a true. She's like a true striker where
3:18
he has to store, store score. Yeah.
3:20
And. He's not really scoring that
3:21
much so all. Right, so I'm actually we're
3:24
gonna do waivers a little differently.
3:25
I'm just gonna read you some of the guys I have in my on my
3:27
actual like waiver claim, like pending right now cuz we cuz
3:31
that's what we have. The first one I actually have is
3:33
Matthias Tell, Tottenham 34% owned, I think mostly because he
3:38
his last two games are 16 and then 11 1/2 points and both of
3:41
them are without goals and assists.
3:42
So those are ghost points. So I think he's been playing a
3:45
little better and I just like that I think against the Forest
3:48
team they'll be up for it. And so as long as he starts, I'm
3:52
super excited about that. As a striker for me, especially
3:55
as someone who has Kyle Haberts and someone who has a one more
3:58
Moosh, I'm going to need that. Another one I have is Valentin
4:03
Castellanos. West Ham.
4:04
I think he's been on here in the past.
4:06
He had a pretty bad game against Man City.
4:08
That's kind of to be expected. And the two games before that
4:12
were solid and you know, you're bottom of the barrel at this
4:14
point. So that that's why he's on
4:15
there. They play Villa and I actually
4:17
kind of think that this might be a Villa.
4:19
West Ham. I kind of banking on West Ham to
4:22
get some results here. Villas I think lost three or
4:24
four in a row. West Ham's looked really good.
4:26
It just feels like one of those games where feel like West Ham
4:30
could really get something out of it.
4:32
And so I kind of, I kind of like taking a gamble on Castellanos.
4:35
And he's only 38% owned, so that's another one.
4:40
Valentin Livamento, he is 54% owned, but I think he's dropped
4:43
and dropped in a lot of leagues. So it's worth taking a look to
4:45
see if he's available in your league.
4:46
He got on the field against Chelsea.
4:48
He played 90 minutes, which is great to see coming off the
4:50
injury. Scored 88.25 points.
4:53
Not the best scorer, but you know that he's capable of it any
4:55
given day who also have Wesley Fofana is another one and I
5:01
think the reason I have him, he only scored seven in the in the
5:05
loss to Newcastle, but like early in the season, he's
5:08
performed really well. I think there's a lot of
5:10
potential there. And I also think that, I mean,
5:12
for me, for example, like I don't have any fab, you know, so
5:15
if you're, if you're low on fab or if you're, you know, low
5:18
waiver claim, he's might be a good guy that like you actually
5:21
be able to get 'cause I think I think waivers is gonna be a
5:24
bloodbath this week with there's gonna be a lot of people
5:26
reaching the waivers cause of the of all the blanks.
5:29
So it's like trying to find guys that maybe are less popular
5:32
'cause you know, if, if you, if you have the number one
5:33
priority, you can get whoever you want.
5:35
Yeah. So those are the guys I have.
5:37
Another shout out was JWP for Burnley.
5:40
He started, I think he had like over eight points this week.
5:43
So if you're a midfielder, that's interesting.
5:46
Tika likes Thomas Suchek for West Ham.
5:49
Is it just that he has an odd goal goal in him?
5:51
Is that kind of why you like him, Tika?
5:53
No, he's actually been having, he's been informed.
5:55
So the last five games, so he had 9.257 and a half, 16 points,
6:01
4 points and 15.25. And he has two goal
6:04
contributions throughout that time.
6:06
So he's been doing it with goals and yeah, the ones that that are
6:10
over 10 is the ones he scored a goal, The ones he didn't score
6:12
goal, he's still doing, you know, 7-8 points, which is
6:15
pretty good for that team. I.
6:18
Think it's really good. I think some other interesting
6:21
games are like if you really wanted to, I think you mentioned
6:24
him, Aliena, right? Tikka, he's 39% owned.
6:28
He's kind of had his moments and he, you know, there's always
6:30
potential there. I got a little, I mean, he
6:32
scored 17 points against Fulham, which is really good.
6:35
Yeah, he's had a few bad games prior to that, but he's
6:37
definitely capable of a big score.
6:39
Anyone else? That's kind of sparking your
6:41
sparking your interest. Yeah, the other one I put, it's
6:44
Jackson, was the last name Chachua.
6:47
Chachua. From wolves, yeah.
6:49
Yeah, from Wolves. So obviously they're not playing
6:51
this weekend, but when you look at their schedule, it's pretty
6:54
friendly. They play West Ham, Leeds,
6:57
Tottenham, Sunderland, Brighton, Fulham and Burnley, yeah.
7:02
So obviously like their defense is not that amazing, but I don't
7:05
think there's going to be a team that's going to put in 5-6 goals
7:07
on them. And when you look at their last
7:10
yeah. And wait, when you look at his
7:12
last few games, he's been putting up pretty good points
7:14
nine and a half 141110. So he he's been having AI mean
7:19
he's started the last five games of the last four has been really
7:22
good. Yeah, he, I was watching that
7:24
game today. He was on the ball a lot like he
7:26
he was like he was like he was. It was he was noticeably on the
7:29
ball because I was I had a Hugo Bueno on the other side and I
7:32
was getting annoyed at how much of the play was going through
7:34
that right side. So good shot.
7:37
Does he play on the wings or he plays centre?
7:40
He's more on the wing. Full back, right?
7:42
Yeah. Yeah, which in that in that
7:44
team, it's like a wing back, which is great, you know?
7:48
I know you threw Intel there, but I would also look at we
7:51
start Tottenham, started Souza. He played like a left wing back
7:54
role and then Spence played more of a white wingback.
7:57
We had Poro playing a right centre back so I played those
8:00
two wingbacks. If you have them, they've been
8:02
more very creative and pushing up and that's what Tudo, once he
8:04
was a high press, they scored decent if I remember correctly.
8:08
What did Susan, what did Susan score?
8:09
Can we look real quick? I, I worried about him.
8:12
I just, I mean, just I didn't look at his score, but when I
8:15
watched him, I felt like he kind of was getting cooked.
8:17
Oh he was getting cooked bro. And he scored 3.5.
8:21
He gets the red card. He's he's got a red card in him
8:23
too. I.
8:23
Feel yeah, I I don't think that's a good, good advice.
8:27
But Jed Spence. Jed Spence, yes, I think that's
8:30
a good, always a good call, I think.
8:31
I mean, I think we like him. I think this time time part of
8:33
the season, you know, you get out to ton is going to if
8:36
they're if you think they're going to stay up, some of these
8:38
guys are going to step up and so there might be some value there.
8:41
One last one I want to call out is Jack Hensonwood from
8:44
Brighton. He just signed a new contract
8:46
for them and he in his last four games have scored 11.7511 point,
8:51
752 and then 13. And that's without any goals,
8:56
without any goals and two assists in the elevens.
8:58
So I think there's like, I think there's something there.
9:00
He's playing, he's playing in the 10.
9:02
I think it's just kind of an interesting one.
9:04
It's the only Rob there is. I think it's a tough week this
9:06
week. I think they play.
9:08
I think they play like City or someone.
9:10
But after that, I think after that it's Burnley, Tottenham.
9:13
So not bad. Any other thoughts on the
9:17
quadruple blank week? There's a lot of points being
9:21
left on the table. Yeah.
9:23
I also think that you, you might as well throw in a few extra
9:26
waiver claims this week because like you just, I think that you,
9:29
it's very possible, unless you have priority, that your first
9:32
ones are going to be snaked. Like the very obvious ones are
9:33
probably going to get taken because there's going to be
9:35
there's going to be way more people looking than normal.
9:39
What do you think about Jacob Ramsey?
9:41
Playing. I mean, he's he got AI guess he
9:43
didn't get an assist last game, but he scored a solid 10 points
9:46
against Chelsea. I mean, his last five he's 14
9:49
seven point 7510.5 negative 5, which I'm assuming is for a red
9:53
card. I don't know how else you got
9:54
that otherwise. And then 10.
9:58
So I think that's a pretty good it's a pretty good spread for
10:03
Ramsey. So I think that's another
10:04
midfielder that might be a pretty worth looking at.
10:06
I think he's pretty, pretty available.
10:08
I think he's owned in 27% of leagues.
10:11
So so yeah, I think there's some good names out there.
10:14
I think it's just you got to find them.
10:16
It's because there's going to be a lot of people looking for him.
10:18
Yeah. All right.
10:20
That is waivers should we get into some of the recaps?
10:24
Yeah, all. Right.
10:25
We're going to plow through these because we don't have a
10:27
ton of time. Arsenal 2, Everton 0.
10:29
The Gunners spent 88 minutes just getting absolutely moist,
10:33
David. They got absolutely David moist
10:35
for 88 minutes and then they had a 16 year old come on, maxed
10:39
out, man, and you had to open up the game.
10:40
Is it fair to say? Pretty well one They wanted love
10:44
when he came. When he came on, they already
10:46
one nil. Up No, no, he he brought the he
10:48
sent the cross in that hand copy knocked down for.
10:52
Did he? Are we?
10:53
Are we sure? About that, Chris, I'm, I'm.
10:56
Pretty sure he came on after already one nil up.
10:59
Same. Should we like Chris?
11:02
I'm on it. I'm checking right now.
11:04
He came on at the 74th. No.
11:07
So he got this? No.
11:08
Yeah, he. Didn't get the assault, so when?
11:10
He came, they were up. Yeah.
11:12
When he came on, they were up 10.
11:14
Really. Really.
11:14
OK, so I don't know. I'm talking about that.
11:16
Disregard me. No, no.
11:18
But he did come on and he played well.
11:19
And he got the goal. I mean, he got that.
11:21
That goal was pretty impressive. That kind of felt like very
11:23
historic, that goal, right? Well.
11:25
Yeah, he, you know, he scored a goal and then had to go to
11:27
school the next day. He should have respected his
11:29
elders and passed the ball. Fuck.
11:34
But you know, Arsenal's doing their bits, man, and they're
11:36
pulling. They're not just doing it from
11:37
one player, they're like they're pulling down now.
11:39
You guys are the kids. You guys, I'm almost positive
11:41
I'm right. Diamond came on on the 74th.
11:44
Yorkers didn't score until the 89th, so I was right.
11:47
Yeah. Oh, that's what you said that.
11:49
OK, yeah, yeah, OK. He didn't get the assist, He got
11:50
the like the hockey assist. Yeah, sorry.
11:52
I'm. Also pick for it.
11:55
I've said this for the past three years.
11:56
Overrated goalie. He's the reason Arsenals need to
11:59
win the league. T Rex Arms.
12:01
Yeah, you think? He's the reason I think it's
12:04
open points bro. No, yeah, you can't.
12:06
I mean, you can't blame anyone but the chasers for not for not
12:09
being able to keep up. You guys would relate this to
12:11
this. Arsenal is the team where you
12:13
play FIFA online when they go up 10 and they just pass to the
12:16
goalkeeper. They waited for you to like,
12:18
press them to pass out of does that annoying FIFA player that's
12:21
Arsenal A. 100 percent, 100%. That's wasting is phenomenal.
12:27
I mean, anything else to talk about here?
12:28
I guess like diamond, like that's everything.
12:30
There's not really any Fanny Fanny relevance.
12:32
It's just it's interesting. I don't think he's like, you
12:34
know, he still hasn't started a game.
12:36
I don't know if he has. He hasn't done much.
12:37
So I'm I'm not super like pressed on it that way.
12:39
I thought it was interesting that Kyle Fiore started over
12:42
handcopy. Well, I don't think it's, it's
12:44
interesting, but Arsenal's rotating because they got what,
12:47
the FA Cup final, they got Champions League, they got the
12:50
league. So they are rotating to try and
12:52
ensure they're going for all of them.
12:53
They're not going just for one, they're going for all of them.
12:55
Quadruple is still in play. And then what about what about
12:58
Odegard? He has an injury right now.
13:00
Do you think when he gets healthy thoughts back in?
13:02
Because as he's been getting some games, but it hasn't been
13:04
like as he's been doing nothing. As they had a good game though
13:09
it was 1 outside of the Tottenham games, this might have
13:11
been as his best game that I watched him play it for Arsenal
13:14
this year. So he said three good games. 8.2
13:17
bad points. I mean, it was, it was.
13:18
And you know, you're not, not respectable.
13:20
You're not? Yeah.
13:21
No, it's. Respectable.
13:22
Like compared to some of the his other scores, his other ghost
13:25
scores, you're just, it's just pretty icky.
13:28
Yokra's got the goal. That's his 11th Premier League
13:30
goal of the season, I think, Sergei said.
13:33
So he said for Sergei said he was going to get 25 plus so.
13:37
Is he, are you, are you like excited?
13:40
Would you be starting him? Like if he's the type of player
13:42
you start even if he doesn't start, you know if he doesn't
13:45
start the game, No, right? There's nowhere that's that's
13:48
cool. Also I feel like from the eleven
13:52
goals has he created any of them on his own or was it just 11 tap
13:55
insurance or crosses penalties? Some of them he's done good work
13:59
for her. But I don't know, I don't need
14:01
to get into like crapping on Arsenal time right now.
14:04
I don't I don't want to think about them as more than I have
14:06
to considering that we're going to have to hear about them a lot
14:09
in the offseason. I have, I have a really bad
14:11
feeling. All right, West Ham, One Man
14:14
City, one Man City blew it for the rest of the league, huh?
14:17
What did you did you guys see? Bernard Silva School, the first
14:21
one, No. Yeah.
14:22
Shot or a cross. It's a chip that shot shot or
14:25
chip like chip cross. I I think it was across I.
14:29
Think it was across here because you didn't really celebrate it,
14:31
I think. I think if you do that on, I
14:33
think. If you do it on videos was
14:34
across. That was across.
14:36
If you do that on purpose, you celebrate it, right?
14:40
Yeah, I think it was. I think it was good that for I
14:43
mean, obviously city we don't need to think about for the next
14:46
little bit because they're going to be they're out next week.
14:49
So, but it was good to see that at nor and Nunez started this
14:53
game after I think they were benched midweek right in in the
14:56
Champions. League, yeah.
14:57
Against Real Madrid, yeah. Yeah, so I thought that was
15:00
interesting. I think from a West Ham
15:01
perspective, Somerville's injured and he, it sounded like
15:04
he might not come back until after they did an actual break.
15:06
There's a slight chance he comes back before.
15:08
Other than that, it's like kind of business as usual over there.
15:10
Like Bowen continues. Just like be decent, you know,
15:14
Like doesn't. He literally got an assist but
15:16
he didn't do much otherwise. Nope, nothing else.
15:19
Yeah, there's not like a ton there, but but I mean, not for
15:22
punos. Like again, like, I don't know.
15:24
You got the Dome, Yeah. Yeah, not much to speak to
15:26
there, but I mean, I mean, I this West End is good.
15:29
Like I have them to. I'm betting on them to stay up,
15:31
I think. You think Forest is going to go?
15:34
Down. I think forest is going to go
15:35
down and I think it's. Fucking play is going down, man.
15:38
Yeah, I think it'll be interesting.
15:40
Talk about disappointments. I feel like Gibbs White has been
15:42
one of the biggest as like the last two to three years as far
15:45
as like where I thought I could see him going from like what he
15:47
did two to three years ago. And like she's I just don't
15:50
think feel like he's ever developed enough.
15:53
You know, even in last year where that team was really good,
15:55
it wasn't like he individually had like this amazing season.
15:57
He was good. But like I would yeah.
16:00
So I just feel like, I just feel like he, I feel like he had,
16:05
maybe it's the team, maybe if you went somewhere else, but I
16:07
just feel like he's been kind of stunted the last few years, both
16:10
in real life and fantasy. Yep, all right, living off that
16:14
season he had like 4 years ago. Yeah, Champions League is kind
16:18
of heating up. Third to six Man United's smash
16:21
Villa 31 United's best for performance of the season under
16:25
Carrick era Do you think Tigo? Yeah, this is honestly, United's
16:30
been playing amazing. I know you said they don't look
16:33
great, but. I think they look good.
16:36
I think so too. Yeah, I mean Bruno, what?
16:39
So Bruno had two assists this game and he just broke United
16:42
the United record for most assists.
16:43
Beat David Beckham's. Beat David Beckham, He.
16:46
Also overtook Holland is the number one fantasy player.
16:50
Overtook Holland is the number one fantasy player.
16:51
He's far away from tying the all time assists total, which is 20.
16:57
Historic season Load in. As drinking as that.
17:01
It's two people, it's Henri and Katie BI think are tied of both
17:04
at 20. I think the real, real, the
17:09
really real chance how he could beat it is because he has no
17:12
other games other than Premier League games.
17:13
Rest of Season 2. Yeah.
17:15
So he's gonna be well rested. Cesco scored his eighth goal in
17:19
10 games. Are they all off the bench or is
17:21
1 from 1 from a start? I think there was one where he
17:26
came, he was starting. Let's see.
17:28
So yeah, the last one prior to this he started and he also
17:32
against Burnley, he started, he scored, he had the brace.
17:36
I think that would you become to are you?
17:38
Have you been starting him from the bench, Chico?
17:40
You haven't. Even though you haven't, you're
17:41
too much of A coward to do it. Yeah, yes, too much of A coward.
17:46
OK. Any other kind of notable things
17:47
from this game fantasy wise? Obviously Cunha goal.
17:51
Good for him. He's probably needed that just
17:53
from a fantasy standpoint. I feel like his influence hasn't
17:56
been as felt in fantasy as it has been in real life.
18:00
Would you agree to go? 100%, yeah, but also like I'm
18:04
pulling up his numbers. He's averaging 9 1/2 for the
18:06
year, which considering new team all those pieces.
18:09
But the management, it's not like a it's not like a
18:12
disappointment or a huge bust. And considering his start to the
18:15
season. Fantasies were.
18:17
Fucking horrible. Yeah.
18:20
But I think you're when you're looking at like where he went in
18:22
drafts, right? That's I think that's where the
18:24
disappointment is. Yeah, he went.
18:26
He went second round and all's which is crazy.
18:28
And it there's also rumblings of United wanting to keep or
18:32
talking players talking about Casa Miro staying at United for
18:36
one more year. Well, because the are they going
18:39
to? Pay him the same amount or is he
18:41
going to take a pay cut? I don't know how his contract
18:44
situation is, but. It's a lot of he's like one of
18:46
the highest paid players in the Premier League.
18:49
But I don't know if his contract expired and they need to renew
18:52
it or if he is. There is there an option?
18:55
That's the question. Is there an option?
18:57
Yeah. But look at his last like games
19:00
scoring wise, 14 1/2 thirteen and a half, 9.7512 point 513 and
19:04
a half, 22.756 point 75. He's been very instrumental in
19:10
their, in their, well, it's all you know what it's.
19:14
Going to be Carrick. It's all because of fucking
19:16
Carrick. Whatever he's got him playing
19:18
and how he's got the team playing is making him more
19:20
productive. Yeah, you know, I mean so.
19:23
And then Villa just continues to be just tough.
19:25
Like I think there's not a lot of, I don't know if there's like
19:27
any Bill assets that I'd be excited about.
19:29
Like Ross Barkley was the highest scorer with 16.75.
19:32
He got the goal, Lucas. Enya, he got the goal.
19:34
I think and get 13 and then like they're like Talisman their star
19:38
player. Morgan Rogers 6.75 points.
19:40
Yeah, he's not even doing. This and ghosts.
19:43
That being said, I did pick up a really nice part of his.
19:45
You guys want to see Oh. Nice.
19:48
It's an anime. It's like it's like cool.
19:50
It's like very nice. Yeah.
19:52
But I'm thinking of him doing better than this, that's for
19:55
sure. There was a lot of there was a
19:58
lot of benchings. They're not benchings, but
20:00
wrestling players like like I think both their midfielders
20:03
arrested for the midweek game in Europa League.
20:06
So we'll see some changes there. And I think eventually, like
20:08
humans in them should be coming back.
20:11
You know. Yeah, but I think they're out of
20:14
the race. Yeah, like I as a Chelsea fan, I
20:18
was very happy that United won because I want artist, I want
20:21
Villa to drop points, you know what I mean?
20:23
I want Villa to because I think that it's more like that Chelsea
20:25
can over it like leapfrog Villa than United for a spot.
20:32
All right. Liverpool won, Tottenham won.
20:34
Slow to slide. Fourth Premier League directory
20:38
kick of the season. You think it was that good of a
20:41
free kick? I think Vicario probably kind of
20:45
could have done better, but it's it's still great care.
20:48
I mean, it's still really good care.
20:50
Not fair. Amazing placement like.
20:52
Amazing placement but I think Vicario thing they got he he
20:57
could have done better I was thinking.
21:00
I think most, I think, I think I was listening to, what's his
21:03
name, Tim Howard on the American feed saying kind of the same
21:07
thing, like Vicario probably should have done better.
21:09
I I fucking hate Tim Howard. He had one good game in the
21:11
World Cup. Wasn't even a good game.
21:13
Every shot was. Just like he's a, he's an icon.
21:16
He's one of main United best ever goalkeepers, man you talk
21:18
about. Oh yeah, he's not I.
21:22
Fucking knew you. Were going to say that.
21:24
So of course then obviously we want to talk about Rick
21:27
Charleston. He got the goal.
21:28
I think he had a really good game prior to that goal too.
21:30
I think he had a really solid ghost and you know, I think he
21:33
had like 10 twelfth ghost points before he even scored so.
21:36
Yeah, got to talk about how Tudors bench Simmons the last
21:39
three games, too. Well, I think, I think Simmons
21:42
is kind of a luxury player, right?
21:43
And like, I think he's just not working hard enough.
21:45
And then he's coming on and he actually when he came on, he
21:47
looked good. But I think as a fantasy asset,
21:50
I think it's the death of Simmons again.
21:52
Once again. He is once again.
21:53
Am I actually dropping? I think you should now.
21:55
I think it's probably time. Did you guys see top the manager
21:59
go up to someone of the system, coaches from behind thinking it
22:02
was Arnie Scott just because he's spoiled?
22:05
We're not all the same. We have different head shapes,
22:07
different patterns. Do do you notice that like the
22:09
bald managers like it's like a lot of their staff ends up being
22:13
bald too. I I noticed I was 10 high and
22:15
like. Well, what are you trying to
22:17
apply? I think that there's some like a
22:19
ball. Person, I'm offended.
22:21
No, I think there's like some subconscious like maybe like
22:23
once your your boss is bald and maybe you want to create favor
22:26
with them to you go bald. I think there's some something's
22:28
going on here. Keith, be careful.
22:31
You're trying to imply that as both people are trying to apply
22:33
pressure to the hairy people, that is not the case to the.
22:37
Hairy. People.
22:37
Hairy people. How dare you, you hairs?
22:41
What am? I That interview has made fun of
22:42
us, this major name of our reputation, and now you're
22:45
killed. Now you're accusing us of being
22:48
boldest. Boldest.
22:52
OK, ran over. Real quick, real quick on this.
22:58
Do you guys think they benched Sala Eketike all of those
23:01
players because they have a Champions League game to play?
23:04
Which OK. I think so.
23:06
I wouldn't read that much into it.
23:07
I also like Ingamola scored like a solid like 9.5 points on his
23:11
debut, but I wouldn't really anticipate him to start unless
23:14
there's another like, like sandwich game that's sandwiched
23:17
between 2 much more important games, you know what I mean?
23:20
Like, I bet you that, you know, I don't think he's going to get
23:23
thrown out there in the Champions League game, you know,
23:27
So yeah, Florin Wertz a solid 10 Ridgeland Dyke 10 Finpong 11
23:31
McAllister 11 Allison 14-5 SLO Basai, obviously 1575 S some
23:35
solid scores from over there on the on the Liverpool side.
23:42
Yeah, I mean my my trade for like me trading my solid looks
23:47
better by the week. Wow, we still talking about that
23:49
trade? OK, Chelsea 0, Newcastle 1.
23:52
Anthony Gordon's 18th minute strike or Newcastle back-to-back
23:55
wins. A brutal result for Chelsea.
23:57
You had just been dismantled 5 to you by PSG in the UCL
24:00
midweek. Pretty brutal.
24:03
Newcastle it was, it was especially brutal because it was
24:04
just a total lap like lapse in concentration.
24:07
And that was like really what? The only really good chance of
24:09
the game. Do you think it's because they
24:12
did their huddle in the middle of the pitch with the referee in
24:15
the middle? So is that, is that like a
24:17
thing? I, I'm surprised how much press
24:18
that's getting. I feel like that's just like a
24:19
weird like psychological trick they're trying and people are
24:22
really like fixating on it And like the fact that ref like
24:25
wouldn't move was weird. I don't know, the whole thing's
24:27
odd to me. You know, I will say I think
24:30
it's because of Chelsea, a club that has a history of breaking
24:34
the rules. Hey referee, we need to swing.
24:36
Can you like, give us a penalty or something?
24:38
I'll bribe. You I've ever been.
24:40
Accused of and then and then I think there's.
24:41
Plenty of financial rule breaking sure, but yeah.
24:45
Notch fixing though. Can you get 1?
24:47
Didn't you? Didn't you guys just get one?
24:49
Are you guys like banned from buying any first team players
24:51
and youth players? No, it's a slap on there.
24:53
It's like a probationary period and then 10 million.
24:55
Look at this motherfucker. It's like printless team to slap
24:58
on the wrist. Slap on the wrist.
24:59
It's a golden era of Chelsea Asterisk.
25:04
I don't really believe in financial crimes.
25:06
I just don't really believe in financial.
25:07
Crimes that sounds, trust me. I work in a bank.
25:10
There are a lot of financial crimes.
25:12
I just, I just think that the the the crime, the financial
25:15
crimes, never the the punishment is always way less than I feel
25:19
like it should be like across the board, not just the soccer
25:21
like for like if you like defraud someone or like, if you
25:24
like, you know, like take money from something like financially,
25:28
it's always way less than what I really should be considering
25:31
like how bad of it, how big of a deal it is, in my opinion.
25:33
Well, because they could always print more money.
25:36
That's kind of what I mean. And I, I also feel like that the
25:39
Chelsea thing, if you were, you know, they self reported and
25:41
that's why they're not in that much trouble either because
25:43
they. Just get stitches.
25:45
They are when when the the Bromovich era ended and they
25:49
went in and looked in the books, they like, they like noticed in
25:51
these discrepancies and they like reported them.
25:54
So that's why there's not that much of A punishment.
25:56
And I want, I feel like they probably would have never been
25:59
even found if like, you know, if it wasn't for them self
26:02
reporting. And so I also like kind of that
26:04
I have a feeling that a lot of teams, if you were to really
26:07
scrutinize their books very, very closely, would you'd be
26:09
able to find some financial? Not taught them.
26:13
Not taught them we don't pay our players and we.
26:16
Don't pay for our medical staff. No, we we pay for a beautiful
26:20
stadium. They can play NFL games in
26:22
concerts. You know, their whole theory on
26:26
recovery is just hey, just like, lay down there, relax, walk it
26:28
out. You'll get better soon.
26:30
Dude, they go do some acupuncture or something.
26:32
They got to, they got to do something.
26:33
They got to get bring some sage in there.
26:35
Just do something. Function something bro, A
26:37
shaman. Anthony Gorrigan scored 19
26:40
points and then after that it was pretty much the defenders
26:43
that actually crushed for Newcastle because and they
26:47
Newcastle scored so early and then they just kind of sat and
26:49
let Chelsea come out of him and just Chelsea couldn't break him
26:50
down. So like Sven Botman 17.25, Aaron
26:53
Ramsdale 15 five, Willick had a surprising 55, which is solid.
26:58
Malek TI I'm sure I think will have the assist and Malek TI
27:01
50.25. So yeah, so there's some really
27:03
good scores in there for them. Chelsea not so much, right?
27:06
Was there any players on Chelsea that performed well?
27:08
I think. I think Palmer got like 10.
27:10
I think Enzo Finalez only got like 7 or 8.
27:12
Yeah, I think 1 interesting one that was on my little fun little
27:16
waiver segment last week was all 100 guard Nacho and he he ended
27:20
up getting 10.5, which is you're happy with, right?
27:22
Yeah, you're happy with from Gnacha, you're happy with.
27:25
Yeah, that's about as good as he can.
27:27
You can. It probably should have been
27:28
more because he probably got dispossessed at least 10 times
27:31
so. And the other thing to talk
27:33
about here, I think next week after the the PSG game, I
27:36
wouldn't be in with Pedro, NATO back.
27:38
I wouldn't really expect Garnacha to be in the team
27:41
potentially. Back on the bench.
27:43
Probably back on the bench. Yeah, relegation battle.
27:48
We talked about Spurs, the equalizer that was massive
27:51
Forest wet and West symbol draw, so that's good for them.
27:55
Yeah. What else?
27:57
Leeds went down a man and managed to hold on.
28:00
I thought that was a big that was a big moment for Leeds and
28:04
it was pretty embarrassing for referee.
28:06
What was all that referee? How did?
28:08
He like because he forgot that he gave me a yellow.
28:10
Card yeah it happened so but I feel like as a as a professional
28:16
ref you should probably be a little better that kind of what
28:18
you're going to I. Think so because you have that
28:19
little book you know you've wrote the number, the name.
28:24
Yeah, I think, I think it's a pretty bad big indictment of how
28:28
bad Palace is right now that they couldn't score in 4-5
28:31
minutes against ten men leads, you know?
28:33
You think they get relegated next season?
28:35
It's not going to be this. Season, I think they're going to
28:37
be, I think that, I mean, if if Gloucester leaves and like a
28:40
couple other players leave or get sold, I think it's going to
28:42
be tough for them to stay out. Yeah, I think they're going to.
28:44
I think they're going to be like one of the the main teams that
28:46
are going to be on the chopping block.
28:48
So in two years we'll see Crystal Palace versus Tottenham
28:51
again. Unnecessary.
28:53
That's so necessary. Anything else we want to talk
28:55
about? Do you want to look at some
28:56
matchups we have about? We have a little bit of time
28:59
matchups for for next week or next month?
29:02
Any other games you guys want to talk about?
29:04
So obviously after this game week, it's going to be
29:07
international break for three, so 2 1/2, three weeks, no games.
29:13
So the matchups, let's see, obviously we talked about
29:16
Tottenham versus Forest being the main one.
29:18
That's going to be the the matchup, right?
29:22
The other one is Villa versus West Ham.
29:24
I feel like West Ham are catching Villa at like the
29:26
perfect time. I agree.
29:28
I think that'll be really good. I, I like, I'm excited to pull
29:30
out Like I, I have no issue playing West Ham assets in that
29:33
game. I know even like defenders and
29:37
Villa has a match on Thursday and they have a match on Sunday
29:40
so that's going to be short turn.
29:42
Around very much so very much so.
29:45
I think that's that's another really good point that I'm I'm
29:47
pretty against. You know that.
29:51
What else is interesting here? I think if there are Burnley
29:55
assets you like against Fulham is not a bad, not a bad time.
29:59
You know, it's at the it's at Cleveland Cottage.
30:00
So they're Fulham isn't good at Caven Cottage, but it's not a
30:03
bad time to pull out some friendly assets.
30:05
What do you think about Brighton?
30:06
Brighton, I think won a few games in a row or they lost to,
30:09
well, they lost to Arsenal, but before that they'd won a few.
30:11
They'd been on a little bit of a badly like upswing.
30:14
Yeah, yeah. They were riding the Welbeck
30:16
train which came to a stop. And Pascal Gross train.
30:20
Yeah, they, they beat Brentford, they beat Forest, they lost
30:23
Arsenal, they beat Sunderland. But now they, now they face
30:26
Liverpool, who again, like Tatika's point played, played
30:30
midweek last week, played this Sunday, lost both those games,
30:33
they played midweek again and then they're going to play
30:35
Brighton. So I feel like it, this is
30:36
actually a good time to play Liverpool as well.
30:39
So I, I like some of these Brighton assets, you know, we
30:41
talked about like Yoku Lamenta finally got a start, which is
30:44
great, starting to goal, which is music to my African ears.
30:48
So the other thing I would say is Bournemouth, the last three,
30:52
their last four games, they only scored one goal.
30:58
So, and now Friday they were playing United.
31:00
So I, I would see if there's any United defenders, you could kind
31:03
of get it for like a rental for one week.
31:08
And they played against, you know, they played against
31:10
Bradley, Brentford, Sunderland and West Ham.
31:15
They're not great defensive teams and they only scored one
31:17
goal. So that's a game I will target
31:19
to get defenders back on three sheet points.
31:22
It was actually. Kind of wild, you look at yeah,
31:23
but you're talking about Bournemouth's form.
31:25
So they played Burnley 00, they played Brentford 00, Sunderland
31:29
11, West Ham 00 and then they played other.
31:33
They lost their talents, man. They've literally they've just
31:35
tied four games in a row, which is wild.
31:38
You really you don't see that that often the Premier League I
31:39
feel like. Do you think United just
31:44
dismantles them? Are you, are you like at that
31:46
level of confidence with this United team or are you more
31:49
thinking that the defenders for United are a good player for
31:52
that reason? I think defenders and the
31:54
goalkeeper are a good play who actually just picked up the
31:56
goalkeeper because Dean Henderson was injured and just
31:59
happened to work out for this Friday as well.
32:01
So I'll keep him. But honestly, like I'm at a
32:04
point where United, I get more, I expect them to get results,
32:07
especially if they're playing mid table teams, I expect them
32:10
to win. When was it when they lost?
32:13
The game against Newcastle was that, yeah, they lost.
32:18
Like yeah, 10 minutes in Newcastle.
32:20
Surprising. I mean, don't let them go at the
32:22
last minute. But yeah, I feel like I think
32:24
we're at a point where like, you expect United to to play well.
32:29
Yeah. Right in the last two games to
32:31
chat about really, are Newcastle.
32:33
We were just talking about in Sunderland.
32:34
I think Newcastle's been in a bit of good form.
32:36
I think they've won what I mean, they actually they'd just.
32:40
Be just a Derby too, man. Yeah, yeah, it's one pretty big.
32:45
It's pretty big, pretty big game.
32:47
So they yeah, they and they beat Chelsea last.
32:49
They obviously they're going to go to Barcelona midweek.
32:51
So it is a little bit of like. Which is a huge game for you
32:54
guys. That's a huge game for you guys.
32:56
See if Gordon does something or not.
32:59
Oh, against Barcelona, because we think that Gordon would be
33:01
good in La Liga and you think he wouldn't be good in La Liga.
33:04
Well, also Derek, who knows the ball, agrees with me.
33:06
Sir, kind of. Derek doesn't.
33:07
Derek says a lot of stuff, mate. Derek says a lot of different
33:10
things and sometimes it sounds good and sometimes it sounds
33:13
like he's talking to his all. I agree with that.
33:15
I think he's he's, he knows ball half the time, 50% of the time
33:19
he's right for 100% of the time. I don't know what's.
33:21
Happening with you guys today. First you attack a bold person
33:23
and now you're attacking a black person.
33:25
What is happening? Right now, what is happening
33:27
that was nothing to do with there.
33:29
That's you. That's your own projection.
33:30
Yeah, you're, you're, you're playing the victim card a lot
33:32
today. I love Derek.
33:35
I love Derek. Yeah, we all love Derek.
33:37
Jeez. Let me point out Derek has hair
33:40
and I still love him unlike you smoke bastards.
33:43
Jeez, yeah, that one off the rails.
33:46
I think Sunderland is important to about that.
33:49
What's his name? Got injured.
33:51
Mckelly. Kelly Ballard got injured and so
33:54
he might not make this team and then if that's the case without
33:57
a knock on effect for the other defenders, like are you worried
33:59
about I? Don't think so.
34:00
Human Mckelly are fine. I think Human would probably do
34:03
better You. Think human would do better?
34:05
Human's been pretty underwhelmed in the last few weeks, I think,
34:08
if I remember correctly. Let's look, Hume, Hume, Hume.
34:14
I think he's been pretty not great. 41152637 Negative 2.
34:21
Yeah, I was. I was Googling his picture
34:24
hoping he was bald to attack Keith.
34:27
Why would you assume he was bald?
34:29
Why would? You just assume no, I was.
34:30
Hoping I did. I didn't.
34:32
Know you would just you would just you would prejudice him
34:34
like that. He's hoping.
34:36
Last game, Chelsea, Everton. Do we think that?
34:41
I honestly feel like Chelsea could.
34:44
This could be a draw. Chelsea's been not great.
34:47
They're like they're going to have to play midweek.
34:49
No one, none of them want to play midweek against TSG.
34:51
They're already down. They're down three goals, but
34:53
they're going to have to do it and they're going to have to get
34:55
amped up to freaking go to the Hill Dickinson Stadium, you know
34:59
the. Only way they win this game is
35:01
if Palmer shows up. Do you think are Chelsea going
35:04
to punt the Champions League game or are they going to put in
35:07
their starters? They're going to play the
35:10
starters because it's it's Champions League and you don't,
35:12
you don't want to look like you're punting Champions League.
35:14
Yeah, even though they Tottenham, he's going to look
35:16
like that regardless. Yeah, but they could pull Liam
35:18
de Lao. They could put Garnacho like
35:20
they're like. Yeah, but that's still that's
35:22
punting, bro. That would be punting.
35:25
Yeah, I guess. I think I would consider that a
35:27
punt. Like, Tomlin's not going to try
35:29
to punt, but we're punting. Well, I you, you couldn't punt
35:33
if you wanted to, Enzo, because you don't have enough players to
35:35
punt. I think that's what I'm saying.
35:36
That's what I'm trying to fucking say.
35:37
It doesn't matter what TV put out.
35:39
It looks like we're punting it. Yeah.
35:41
I think, I think as I mentioned in waivers, like I'm I'm OK with
35:44
like Chelsea center backs, like if it's Fofana Chalaba, I'm OK
35:48
with that. I'm OK playing them.
35:50
I'm OK playing Everton center backs too.
35:51
Probably like Chelsea can't score goals.
35:53
So I mean, if you look at their last few games, like Chelsea has
35:57
for the most part been scoring. They've just been conceding a
36:00
lot too. So maybe, maybe not, Maybe I
36:02
don't know why I feel that way. I just maybe I just feel that
36:03
way because they didn't score in the very last game.
36:05
But maybe we look at everything Chelsea.
36:08
Centerbacks. What about the Tottenham
36:09
centerbacks? The ones that are fucking, you
36:11
know, able to play Dan So and Dragazon?
36:14
I haven't checked them. Romero No.
36:16
Did they scored all right? Right.
36:17
Dragazon scored all right. I don't know, I haven't checked.
36:22
Why would I check Tottenham centerbacks?
36:23
We let in goals, but I only let him won the last game.
36:27
I know that, I know it's very possible that Romero's back for
36:30
this game week, right? Possible, yeah.
36:34
So. Van event's still out.
36:36
Obviously she's got a three match ban.
36:38
Last week Judd Spence 8.5 Vicario 8, Danzo 75, Poro 65.
36:46
Drive us in six, so not. Really.
36:48
No, it's not that good. No, don't.
36:50
Think I think your shot, your Judd Spence shot is the best
36:52
shot if you really want to go that route, you know it's Judd
36:55
Spence. Yeah.
36:56
Do we want to have a squeeze in the quick Champions League?
37:00
I think so. Was the because there's five EPL
37:02
teams playing? Oh, Chico, you just even you've
37:04
been relishing this. So Tico, Tico is really quiet
37:07
when 5 champion, when 5 EPL teams made it to the final 16,
37:10
but then the second that four of them lost, Tico's very quick to
37:14
chime in about it so. So yeah, the only time he ever
37:17
chimes in is when he's when he knows that there's nothing else.
37:20
He chimes in. He's not the guy that he sits in
37:24
the back and then once everyone else is winning, he runs to the
37:26
front like he's part of it. Yeah, pretty much.
37:28
I think that's. Pretty.
37:29
That's not true. I'll be rooting for I'll be
37:32
rooting for one champions EPL team.
37:34
What EPL team was that? Newcastle.
37:38
I mean, I think we're all rooting for Newcastle, right?
37:40
Asia, for Enzo, because yes. So yes.
37:42
I'll be going for Barcelona. Happy life, happy life.
37:46
I was so upset, like you mean let me e-mail?
37:48
Didn't do shit the whole game, gets the penalty and then he
37:51
celebrates oh Yamal with another goal like the guy was a bum.
37:54
Get out of here. I think Ronaldo used to do that
37:57
too. I think realistically, I think
37:59
realistically, I think it's very like the Liverpool Gusterio, I
38:03
think, I guess. Galatasaray.
38:04
Yeah, I just think like Galatasaray at home is really
38:07
hard, but I think Liverpool at Anfield is like harder.
38:10
So I think we've said this before about Liverpool, but they
38:12
haven't played that well. Yeah, but I think they'll show
38:15
up for this one. Bodo glimpse going through.
38:19
Yes, do this. This frigging Bodo Glimp.
38:22
I wish we talked about them. You know, we should apologize
38:25
for making fun of Tottenham Blaster, for beating them.
38:27
That might be the best win you guys have in the last like five
38:29
years. I agree.
38:31
They play Arsenal, right? They play Arsenal next.
38:34
If they yeah, they go through. If Arsenal goes through, I think
38:37
Arsenal got through. I think Liverpool got through.
38:39
That's good PSG got through, obviously, so yeah.
38:42
I think PSG goes through for sure.
38:43
Arsenal Leverkusa man Arsenal's not scoring goal.
38:46
It's not an easy, easy thing to say.
38:48
Arsenal's not scoring goals wasn't a fucking penalty.
38:50
Absolutely not. Yeah, that was BS, Absolutely
38:54
yeah. But at this point I still think
38:55
they're going to beat Levicus and hate to say it.
38:57
I'm also not super confident about city, Real Madrid, city
39:00
drill Madrid. I'm not very confident.
39:02
You. I mean three.
39:03
I think three goals is enough that you should.
39:05
Three goals. You should be confident.
39:07
Yeah. You're not Barcelona, bro.
39:09
You know, I mean, like Man City is not Barcelona.
39:12
Well, no. I give it like I give it
39:14
probably like an 8% maybe. I don't know if the defense, our
39:20
defense is not that strong if they score.
39:23
I mean if. They score early.
39:24
It's game. If they score early.
39:27
But you have our. Birthday.
39:28
That's it. You know what?
39:29
I He's better than Rice. I mean, from the evidence of
39:33
that one game for sure, I think if you have to look at a body of
39:36
work, but that one game I. Heard How are you?
39:40
I'm really good about Rice. Is the fact that they say the
39:42
premiership and also win the league and their best player
39:45
being it being Declan Rice who plays in the 6th but is bearing
39:49
the 8 and he's scoring goals, most of his goals from free
39:51
kicks. The game's fucking gone.
39:55
Fucking gone. Yeah, so I think the biggest
39:57
comp for Valverde is Valverde is a combination of rice and sober
40:02
Sly dude shut the. Fuck up bro, I have no idea.
40:07
Like the work rate of so the site like.
40:10
Energy so the site that he's flexibly could play multiple
40:12
positions yeah and but he does a lot more so.
40:16
Can can we close? That it's hard to compare people
40:19
yeah, we can we can close that Well, I saw the one the last
40:21
thing let's say is as much as I'm rooting for Newcastle, I
40:24
just do feel like it's going to be tough to go to Kebnop now new
40:28
and then. And Rafin is back.
40:30
Yeah, and they've also like, I think they've like the amount of
40:33
goals compared to they let in and they've conceded, they kept
40:36
muted compared to the amount of goals they scored is like
40:38
absurd. So it was it was such a drag
40:40
that that, you know, I think if they would have went in with A1
40:42
elite, it would have maybe been a different story.
40:44
But you. Can pretty clear.
40:45
You think Tubman's going out, right?
40:47
Tubman's going out, yeah. I mean, Chelsea's going on top.
40:50
That's going on for sure. You can't look for the Barcelona
40:54
game. They played the highline, they
40:55
could break it. Gordon had to steal enough to to
40:58
go through it. I.
41:00
I I love Gordon, I think he's a very good player.
41:02
Fucking piece of shit for DPL. But Barcelona and and Newcastle
41:09
defense is good man. They have a good defense.
41:10
They have a good defense. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
41:12
All right, Yeah. Close it out man.
41:14
He's become a. Volvo sort of banger outside
41:17
the. Bank.
41:18
This has been episode 128 of Dropped Off Sides.
41:20
My name is Keith. I'm with Tiger Enzo.
41:22
We will see you next week. Are we doing our team, the Black
41:27
Rovers, avoiding relegation of the Championship?
41:31
El Salvador. Fast, Fast.
41:33
Adios. Catch your day boys all.
41:36
Right, bye guys. Leave your windows open.
41:38
All right, bye. Guess the person with the hair
41:40
telling the person without her What?
