- 0:00If he has a good offseason and they're going to be part of the
- 0:02club, FIFA World Cup, right? So absolutely not.
- 0:05United is not going to be part. Of it, can I, can I be, can I
- 0:07be? Can I tell you right now, this
- 0:08is the first time I believe Tico to be a Man United fan.
- 0:11It's the first time. Thinking that that's just that
- 0:14the the delusion that they would be invited in that tournament.
- 0:16Hello, welcome to episode 87 of Draft Offsides.
- 0:19My name is Keith. I am here with Tico and Enzo.
- 0:22Stay tuned for our waiver wire suggestions and a look ahead to
- 0:24game week 36. Please like and subscribe.
- 0:27Let's get into some of the matches.
- 0:29First game Arsenal won Bournemouth 2.
- 0:32Arsenal went ahead early and Bournemouth stormed back to win
- 0:35it. We had Rice with 18.5 points
- 0:38scored a goal. Just continues his good form.
- 0:43Totally just bucking the trend of those centre mitts that I've
- 0:47said that I wasn't a big fan of. Well, he's been playing more.
- 0:49Being proven wrong. And he's which party was back
- 0:51this game, right? He was back.
- 0:54So that that put pie in the 6th and him in the 8th, which is.
- 0:56Yeah, it allows him to get higher.
- 0:58Yeah, for sure. So much better for him.
- 0:59I think that that's what we got. Put him for England too.
- 1:02I think that's that's his best role, him carrying the ball.
- 1:04I think that's how he's going to score goals.
- 1:06So Adam Wharton and then Declan Rice and then.
- 1:10Drew Bellingham. And then Bellingham pretty good
- 1:133. Harry Kane.
- 1:14OK. Harry Kane up front.
- 1:16Come on. Wait, wait.
- 1:17Sorry. Harry kind of won a trophy.
- 1:18Let's talk about that later. Yeah, Yeah, sorry.
- 1:21Dean Hoyston scored a goal. Mr. Mr. Shoga himself, Mr. He's.
- 1:27So he's rumored to be going somewhere either Liverpool,
- 1:30Chelsea, Arsenal. And Real Madrid or Barcelona
- 1:33too, they're all looking at him. But Madrid doesn't want to pay.
- 1:37They don't. Madrid doesn't like paying for.
- 1:38People. Was it 60 million?
- 1:40I think it's less. It's like 40.
- 1:41Oh. OK, that's enough.
- 1:42That's pocket change to Real Madrid.
- 1:44That's how I feel too, but they don't want to, so it's likely.
- 1:47I mean, I would guess, if I had a guess, I guess he goes to
- 1:50Liverpool because I feel like because he's Dutch, even though
- 1:54he's a Spanish citizen, he has like Dutch heritage, right?
- 1:58Yeah. And so that the like, being
- 2:00under Van Dyke might be pretty interesting for him and like
- 2:02going to a good team like that. That'd be my guess there.
- 2:05And. That that might be his first
- 2:06choice. They did just win the league so.
- 2:08Yeah, yeah, Evan Nielsen scored. So you know, Evan Nielsen had a
- 2:13got a red the previous game and then he was going to be out for
- 2:17three games. He was just going to come back
- 2:18for the very last game of the season.
- 2:20So me and my infinite wisdom dropped him for my team.
- 2:23And then sure enough, his red card got rescinded and he
- 2:26started and he scored and that I lost my week in our Bros league
- 2:30because of that. Oh, because I started Nicholas
- 2:32Fulkog instead of him and lost. I saw, I saw like, because I
- 2:34lost in the Bros League too, and I was like, oh, let me see what
- 2:36Keith said. Oh, he lost 2, doesn't matter,
- 2:38still up. I just got to win one more game,
- 2:40one more game. Yeah, you're good.
- 2:42Yeah. Or second place Dango.
- 2:45Yeah, Nate. Nate is far ahead.
- 2:47Fuck Nate. Dango Atari hurt his leg.
- 2:51Yeah, so he came off injured. So just opens it up for, you
- 2:54know, clue, as Tika would say, Clover to be a little bit more
- 2:59involved and yeah, we'll see. I think that Bournemouth.
- 3:02Manio got a rare rest at this game too, which was interesting,
- 3:06but he then he came out and got an assist.
- 3:09That was one way I almost started them even though because
- 3:11I knew it was going to come on for at least like 30-40.
- 3:13Minutes you did, did you know? I I didn't.
- 3:15Did you? Yeah.
- 3:15I knew it was going. Did you know Evan?
- 3:16Nelson's red was going to get rescinded to.
- 3:18I did not know that that was, that was, that was not the
- 3:22crystal ball. That vision eluded me.
- 3:25OK, got it. Arsenal, are we worried about
- 3:29them? Are they just they're so
- 3:30Champions League focused? Well, that's that's the thing.
- 3:34From all the Final Four teams this week, Arsenal's the only
- 3:37team that started their main players, they started to
- 3:39actually live on players. They didn't arrest anyone and
- 3:41they still lost, whereas everyone else PhD arrested their
- 3:45players. Barcelona rested their players
- 3:47and they turned on the rest of their players.
- 3:48So maybe worrisome, You know, you go out with your best team
- 3:52and you lose to Bournemouth who first time they won the Emirates
- 3:55well. They did the double on Arsenal
- 3:56this year. That was that was really
- 3:59surprising to me with Arsenal that they ended up starting all
- 4:01their main players. I was very surprised by that,
- 4:03just all things considered. Yeah, I'm surprised.
- 4:06I know Sergey sort of called it, you know, chat room, that could
- 4:09have been a draw. But when they went one nil up, I
- 4:10was all right. They'll knock him one more and
- 4:12then the games over. But Bournemouth come back.
- 4:15To bring in the youngsters, yeah.
- 4:16Bournemouth deserved to win that game too.
- 4:17Yeah, they did. I feel like yeah, okay, Next
- 4:20game. Leicester 2, Southampton 0.
- 4:23I think the most relevant thing in this game was the ref fell
- 4:26over like clutching his face. He's got an elbow to the head
- 4:28and Varney leaned over and blew his whistle, like pulled his
- 4:31whistle like from his like chain and blew it while I was on his
- 4:34neck. Like fucked.
- 4:35Again, King legend. I'm sorry, so funny.
- 4:38I don't think he was trying to be funny though.
- 4:39No, no, no he wasn't. But but who else would do that?
- 4:41It was, But who else would do that?
- 4:43No one would never do that. Just party.
- 4:44No one never would do that. Yeah, just party.
- 4:47So there's there's. There's rumors of him going to
- 4:50Wrexham, yeah. We'll see it.
- 4:52I mean, I think it'd be awesome. It'd be awesome if you did.
- 4:54I think it would be too, I think.
- 4:55I think that's infinitely more likely than KDB gun to Exxon.
- 4:59Oh hell yeah, that was just stupid.
- 5:03Anything else for this game? El Canuse 20 points, 2 double,
- 5:0715 games in a row. Yeah, he's a favorite of mine,
- 5:11but we probably won't be seeing him again.
- 5:14Yeah, after this year. And then you have someone.
- 5:17Thomas, a defender, scored 60.75 points.
- 5:20Yep. I don't, I don't, I don't think
- 5:22we should be promoting this guy as a viable fantasy asset.
- 5:25I'm just saying this deep, you got to like there's there's no
- 5:29one that's really in form right now.
- 5:31You know, I mean, you got to take a risk here in there, Tico,
- 5:33just take a risk. I think as as I just put this
- 5:36game on there, 6 talk about Jamie Vardy.
- 5:38Yeah, then he was. That yeah, reaching.
- 5:40For reaching for he's like. Dude, look at, look at, look at.
- 5:43I think he had two double digit games in the last four games.
- 5:46In the last three games he had two.
- 5:47There you go. But it's also Leicester.
- 5:49It's just. Yeah, but the other one.
- 5:50But the other one was Liverpool. OK, but I'm saying that
- 5:54Leicester like, I don't, you don't want to like pick up
- 5:56Leicester players at this point this season is my is my thing.
- 5:59I just feel like there's, I think there's you're going to
- 6:01have better options somewhere where other than the bottom.
- 6:04Oh, we'll see the. Waivers.
- 6:05I mean, wait, wait till waivers. Gosh, I have some.
- 6:07I have some good names, actually.
- 6:09All right, next game Brentford for United 3 Kevin Schotta, Sade
- 6:16Sade 26.5 points with two goals. This literally like saved my
- 6:22fantasy matchup. I know you had the top top two
- 6:24of the top three scorers in the league then have like 3.
- 6:27There was a point where he had over 50% of your team's total.
- 6:30Oh, him and Cole Palmer had over 50% of my team's total points.
- 6:33Yes, yes, that is true. It's a low scoring week this
- 6:36week, let's just put that out. There it was.
- 6:38It was very low, yeah. And it looks like, yeah, they
- 6:41were the two highest scoring players of the week called
- 6:43Palmer, Kevin. Only one person cracked 100
- 6:45points in our league. Mr. T.
- 6:47Mr. T. Yeah, low, low, weak.
- 6:49Low, weak. Yeah.
- 6:52So he had a he had a great game. I, I like him.
- 6:54I mean, I, I'm excited to. I think he really compliments
- 6:56Wissa and Wemo quite well. So he's they're fun.
- 6:59He's he's had a really good season.
- 7:00OK, and then it'll be interesting to see if Webmo goes
- 7:03anywhere or what happens with that team and then next
- 7:07Garnacho, 25.75 points had an assist and a goal pretty good
- 7:12call too pretty good bit of a banger huh it's.
- 7:15Funny, I don't, I think he's just just putting up his value.
- 7:18Well, that's the last 500,000 right there on his price.
- 7:22I mean, what, 10 points for key passes, too?
- 7:25So it's not just that he's not just, you know, taking shots.
- 7:29He's also creating opportunities for the players.
- 7:32This defender Coyote got 90.75 points.
- 7:35I really like him to keep an eye out for him on Waveries, but I
- 7:38thought he looked really good. He really passed the eye test.
- 7:39Yep, Diallo 17 points. Do you want to know something
- 7:44interesting about Diallo? OK, so the metric that I like to
- 7:47look at when I'm looking at fantasy stuff is points per
- 7:48start, You know, so it's like a lot of times, like the on fan
- 7:52tracks, what it shows you just doesn't tell the whole story.
- 7:55Guess where Ahmad Diallo ranks and points per start for players
- 7:58that have started at least 15 games?
- 8:00For. 5th Yeah, really. Yeah, you got it right.
- 8:04You got it right, 5th. That was really crazy.
- 8:07I looked at you like, yeah, OK. Yeah, so it's Muhammad Salah
- 8:13Bukowsaka, Cole Palmer, Brian and Bruno and Ahmad Yala.
- 8:16Wow for points for She. He's ahead of Matt Kaspunya,
- 8:20ahead of Holland, ahead of Kevin de Brenner, ahead of Bruno
- 8:22Fernandez, albeit he has significant, he has 17 starts
- 8:26and most everyone else on that list has, you know, 20 plus.
- 8:28But still, you know, yeah. And I, I think that that just
- 8:33lends itself to if like for next year drafts, I think he is
- 8:38probably going to go higher than you think.
- 8:39What are you thinking? I think wherever Rashford goes,
- 8:42I think that's where. He would be, well, you know,
- 8:44it's so funny, you know, Ryan from Draft Society tweeted today
- 8:48talking about his, his like, top ten draft picks and he had
- 8:51Diallo as 10. Wow.
- 8:53I think that's a little high just cause for the uncertainty,
- 8:56but I think in the first round you want to pick up guys that
- 8:58you know are gonna. He's going, you know he's going
- 9:01to stick around in the league, You know he's picking him up.
- 9:04There. There, Kyle.
- 9:05Yeah, with. Manchester United fans, with
- 9:08Manchester United fans in our league where, yeah, we'll never
- 9:10see. We'll never see no.
- 9:12But even we take out the points per start, he's averaging 12.7
- 9:15points and 23 games. He started 17, seven goals, 6
- 9:18assists. That's really funny and.
- 9:20I think if if he has a good offseason and they're going to
- 9:23be part of the club, FIFA World Cup, right?
- 9:26So absolutely not United. Is not going to be part of it,
- 9:28No. That's interesting.
- 9:30Is it they haven't? Oh look, he already wait, this
- 9:33is the first time to. Be part of that.
- 9:35To be part of that, you have to like have one side.
- 9:37This is I just thought they just put all the big names.
- 9:38Can I, can I be, can I be, can I tell you right now?
- 9:40This is the first time I believe T got to be my United fan.
- 9:45Like thinking that that's just that the the delusion that they
- 9:47would be invented that tournament.
- 9:49I mean, I've seen Miami is playing for you got say like,
- 9:52well, did you guys see it's been like all over my feet where it
- 9:56says if United when the Europa, they're going to be in a 15th or
- 10:0016 seed being in Champions League next year.
- 10:03And the only reason they're in Europe at this year is because
- 10:05they didn't qualify. They're from the FA Cup.
- 10:07I know it's pretty wacky, yeah. It's like the most backwards way
- 10:10for them to potentially get there.
- 10:11We talk about failing up, it'll be.
- 10:13Really talk about failing more. Crazy if Total comes 17th and
- 10:16wins the Europe. That would be really crazy too.
- 10:18There's a lot of, I mean, there's a lot of really crazy
- 10:20scenarios that might happen. But OK, let's let's get back on
- 10:22track. Mason Mount, 16.75 points.
- 10:25He scored a goal early for them. Looks OK.
- 10:28Yeah. Not not nothing Phenomenal, huh?
- 10:30He just he hasn't been the same for a while, for like a year and
- 10:32a half. You.
- 10:32Think he's there next season? Yeah, he's definitely there.
- 10:35You don't. Think he gets lumped out?
- 10:37No, he should go to he, you know, he should go.
- 10:41Where should you go, Wrexham? Wrexham, That's his answer for
- 10:43everything. Thanks.
- 10:46Garnach are going to be a United player.
- 10:48No, he should go to Wrexham. No, he should go.
- 10:49Mason Mount Mason Mount's making too much money and his deal is
- 10:53just too lucrative for them to get rid of.
- 10:54Do not doubt Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mcaleny, okay?
- 10:59They'll do what, To fork out some money for Mason?
- 11:01They're not forking out Mason. Not money.
- 11:03I'm sorry, you're talking about daredevil.
- 11:06I'm a daredevil, Mason. You're saying dare fork out
- 11:10Mason and always Suddenly Philadelphia can't afford Mason
- 11:14Mount. Yes, I'm saying I, I'm
- 11:17unequivocally saying they cannot afford.
- 11:18They will loan him and pay half his wages and they can fucking
- 11:21afford him. OK, let's again, conversation
- 11:24sidetracked. This is insane.
- 11:25OK, Christian Erikson. 60 points, keep real quick on Mason
- 11:29Mount. If next week you guys see he's
- 11:31in the starting line up and they're playing West Ham, would
- 11:33you guys add him and possibly play him?
- 11:35Possibly he's in waivers in like a section I have at the end,
- 11:38which is just like the. I think there's better options,
- 11:41but if those options aren't on the table, I think he's
- 11:43definitely a viable one. Survival to play, but you don't
- 11:47feel good about it right now. I think Mason Mountain is
- 11:50probably going to stay at United and then play behind like Bruno
- 11:54and Cunha as like as like the first guy off the bench in those
- 11:58two 10s underneath the striker role, You know, because I think
- 12:03we're assuming Garnacho leaves. Diallo is there too, right?
- 12:06So I think he's just going to be, I think he's going to become
- 12:08a squad player. And what he was for Chelsea was
- 12:10just him and his youth. And he got overplayed and got
- 12:13ruined, you know? Yeah, yeah.
- 12:16He got ran through for lack of a better like a better way to
- 12:20describe ran through. You know, mature guy.
- 12:22Just be mature. What is this?
- 12:25You're opening stores and that's the jokes you're making.
- 12:27This is fucking guy. I have to be professional over
- 12:30there, so I go and let this all out now with you boys.
- 12:33OK, Christian Erickson, 16 points.
- 12:35He's still got it. How do you get those points?
- 12:36I. Didn't even check.
- 12:37You know, that's one thing. That's one.
- 12:39I just couldn't believe he got 16 points.
- 12:41Do you think he's there next season?
- 12:43He got an assist. He didn't get an assist, Yeah,
- 12:45OK. So I think he's there next
- 12:47season. I think probably not.
- 12:49I think he's probably the type of player that they're going to
- 12:51clear out. And so where do you think he's
- 12:53going to be going? I.
- 12:53Think he's going to go Rex over? Now that I like actually I'm,
- 12:57I'm all in for that one. Imagine.
- 12:59Next game, I guess we didn't really talk about that, so
- 13:03Brentford went up pretty big here.
- 13:04It was like 4-1 and then United came back.
- 13:06Garbage time. Like it was, it was garbage
- 13:08time. It wasn't.
- 13:09Didn't really be much. OK, next game Everton 2 Ipswitch
- 13:132 Julio and Siso 17.75 points scored again. 3 gold
- 13:17contributions in four games. You know when?
- 13:20You know when I dropped him. Two games ago.
- 13:23Four games, yeah. What are you gonna do?
- 13:28Beto had a good goal too. Really nice header and just
- 13:30really well taken. 14.75 points. Yep.
- 13:33Burgas 16.25 points with the assist and then Dwight McNeil
- 13:37baby back came on off the bench I believe and got a good goal.
- 13:42Scored 10.75 points. If he's around you should snag
- 13:46him even it's for the last few games.
- 13:48He's definitely. Worth really a player.
- 13:49Definitely. Worth it.
- 13:50He's, I mean, in our leagues, he's.
- 13:53Well, you think he's third round, second round, third
- 13:55round. I think he's going to drop this
- 13:57year because he was out for 75% of the season.
- 13:59Yeah, but if you know Ball, say you knew the stats and was it
- 14:03points per start, Keith, like you'd like to say?
- 14:06What's his point? I mean, it's hard to.
- 14:07It's hard to give a points per start thing when he's only
- 14:09played 10 games. OK.
- 14:11And those 10 games? I'll look right now he's going
- 14:14to have a really high points per start I.
- 14:15Remember, he was killing it for you to begin the season.
- 14:18I think if make sure Keith drafts A-Team and like after
- 14:23like week five, shuts up, closes the app, makes no trays, no
- 14:26makes no moves, nothing. I think he'll run.
- 14:28I think he'll. Win it for sure.
- 14:29He'll win the league because he just overthinks it.
- 14:31You're overthinking every time, Keith, he's like, he's like, if
- 14:34I cross out this, divide this equation and divide it by π I
- 14:38even and then square root that shit.
- 14:40I think I said this earlier in the year, last year, I said
- 14:43Keith's the only one who I respect as a fantasy player
- 14:46because I because of the draft. And even when I think as you
- 14:50were on your 10 game one, I was like, I'm not, I like, I don't
- 14:52believe in your team. And I said, Keith's the only one
- 14:54who's a threat to the this this year's championship.
- 14:58Well, I, I think I, I think thank you, right.
- 15:01You're saying that I draft all that?
- 15:03I just absolutely collapse when it comes to making trades.
- 15:06I I think you, I think you try to like find this diamonds in
- 15:12thereof instead of, you know, just sticking with the team you
- 15:16have. I think the, I mean, normally
- 15:18my, my waiver stuff is fine. It's just the, the, the trades
- 15:21this year killed me. Yeah, well, wait.
- 15:23Wait, wait, can you guys can you guys stop get a fucking room.
- 15:26I'm done with listening to you motherfuckers flown.
- 15:28Can we get on to the game? I'm.
- 15:30Sorry, this is a top three conversation.
- 15:34OK, I can't figure out driving deals.
- 15:35Points were started on the fly, but we'll move on.
- 15:38Alrighty, Something else? You go?
- 15:40No. I was gonna say, even without
- 15:42just his regular games, he only not started four games.
- 15:47He's averaging 11.1. So his production is there
- 15:50regardless. Yeah.
- 15:51And what he, I mean, he dropped so far in a lot of drops too,
- 15:54because he's just the most unsexy guy.
- 15:55But he's a pretty high point scorer.
- 15:57So yeah, something to note. Ipswich, Everton.
- 16:00I mean, I think Everton, there's one of those games it's kind of
- 16:03like a meaningless 1. Yeah, because they're safe.
- 16:06It's wish not of it like we've said, there's already Moise is
- 16:09going to have them cloak life I think in the top 10 next year.
- 16:13Like not, not high up there, not high up there, not high up
- 16:16there. I'm not saying they're
- 16:17challenging for top five, but they'll be in and around the top
- 16:1910. Top 10 is tough, is getting
- 16:22harder and harder to even break into the top well look.
- 16:23At if you really look at it from 8th till till 4th it's not
- 16:27there. There's not too much there.
- 16:28Don't get wrong they you can't jump from 8th to 4th but the
- 16:31points it's very tight. Yeah, fully.
- 16:34And then also, I mean, even past eighth, I mean, Crystal Powell
- 16:38looks so good to end the year. Who knows what they're going to
- 16:40be like. But next year, if they can hold
- 16:41on to Eze, I think they're going to be pretty good.
- 16:43So we'll see what happens there. OK, Next game, Chelsea 3,
- 16:47Liverpool won, Chelsea scored early and just kind of hold on
- 16:51man. Palmer Fani did it.
- 16:54He looked really good. I mean, I obviously the the
- 16:57penalty at the end really padded his his numbers, but he really
- 17:01looked like he was back in his old to his old self, some of his
- 17:04movement, some of the things he did, some of the audacity for
- 17:07some of his shots and things so. And it's pretty awesome.
- 17:10We talked about Liverpool, if they're going to play, you know,
- 17:13because obviously they won the league, but watching this game,
- 17:16I feel like they didn't have that sense of urgency.
- 17:17And obviously, you know, they didn't play their starting
- 17:20players. But what made me feel better
- 17:22about it is towards the end of it, they brought in Sobel's like
- 17:24they put in McAllister, they put in Nuna.
- 17:27So it's not like they're going to punt away the games,
- 17:29especially next week when they play Arsenal.
- 17:31I think this will be an example for them not to hey, like we
- 17:34want to go out at the positive. No, we don't want to go out
- 17:36there and just lollygag. And this was very more
- 17:39frustrating for me because I had Sala and Harvey Elliott, who I
- 17:43picked up because so beside wasn't playing going against
- 17:46only NATO and our game was tied. I have Sala and Elliott, so I
- 17:50feel pretty good. Ended up losing.
- 17:53Really. Yeah.
- 17:54So they combined, they didn't score like 13 points.
- 17:56I think he only had like 12.7. Made to outscored them combined.
- 18:00Yeah, because it was it was like less than a point difference.
- 18:03Yeah. And yeah, they got outscored.
- 18:05If you would have picked up simicast instead of How reality,
- 18:07you would have won. You know, what's funny is when I
- 18:10I, when I looked at this, it was between one of those two.
- 18:13I figured against Chelsea, they're going to put in goals
- 18:16and there's a chance Harvey is going to be involved.
- 18:18And also, you know, I have this, you know, relationship with
- 18:20Harvey Elliott. How many goals has Chelsea
- 18:22scored the last few games? I mean, they've kind of like,
- 18:25feels like Handbrake's been off but let loose a little bit.
- 18:27Really. Yeah.
- 18:28Feels good. Wasn't.
- 18:29It against Tottenham they put in five.
- 18:31No, there's one. There's just one.
- 18:33What are you talking? About wait against Tottenham
- 18:35they put in. Five as Liverpool prick.
- 18:37Oh, that's right. Wait, aren't you talking about
- 18:38Liverpool or Chelsea? I was.
- 18:40I was talking about Chelsea. I was.
- 18:41Talking about Chelsea also yeah with the game T code.
- 18:45The fuck, Brian? OK, refocus, refocus.
- 18:48So yeah, Cole Palmer had a good game.
- 18:50Looked good. Hopefully this continues on Ice
- 18:52cold did the celebration. Sergei had some Sergei had some
- 18:56sort of issue the way he celebrated.
- 18:57I had no. I thought that was fine.
- 18:59No, that was sad. What was sad about it?
- 19:02Because. The game was decided the way
- 19:03they went to it, like yelling. It's like they want something
- 19:06big. It's just.
- 19:06Wait, that what are you talking about?
- 19:07That game was so important for them.
- 19:09That was like that that to win that game means that now they're
- 19:12they have a much better chance to make it to the top 4.
- 19:16So that like that goal at the end was double big.
- 19:18It was big for goal Palmer. It got him, got him back on the
- 19:21score sheet. And then also it just solidified
- 19:23a win against Liverpool. Liverpool's lost two games all
- 19:25season, helps Chelsea get into the top four.
- 19:27I thought that was very, very decent celebration, very like
- 19:30normal. I'm just saying the.
- 19:32Status. If you're considering yourself
- 19:34like top top European cub, you don't celebrate like that.
- 19:37That's just my. I hate you Enzo Fernandez 25.75
- 19:43points. You got that girl goal early.
- 19:45I looked good. Enzo has a note here that says
- 19:47must have cheated on his wife this week, which is horrible.
- 19:52But but yeah, I mean something, I guess now that we thought it
- 19:57was just going to be a yeah, I don't know what to say.
- 20:01Or he stole candy from a baby. I don't know what the joke is
- 20:04anymore. He's just he's a bad man, He's a
- 20:06good man. Now that he's backing a good
- 20:08man, he's still scoring points. So we don't really know what it
- 20:10is. No, no, no, when he's.
- 20:12You think it's all a bad man? He's doing something he's he's
- 20:14always like stole candy from a baby or he didn't tip someone
- 20:17very well, a restaurant or some shit.
- 20:19Maybe he's, like, one of those, like those, Like, he's in one of
- 20:22those secret cults that, like, eats children, you know, like
- 20:24drinks the blood of. Well, I know, Colin.
- 20:26Whoa, whoa. What cannibalism?
- 20:29What the fuck? Yeah, maybe some maybe he's
- 20:31doing some weird stuff like that.
- 20:32Boys. This guy Sato, 17.25 points.
- 20:35He he was the one that got fouled.
- 20:37He they got fouled in the box to draw the penalty for Palmer.
- 20:41It's the second time he's won a ball really high up the field in
- 20:44the last two games for them. And this is like looks, I mean,
- 20:47just overall looks great. He won their player player of
- 20:49the season and the players player of the season this year.
- 20:51I like. Rich, I like you so.
- 20:53He's been playing so well. He's great player and that that
- 20:55the new setup where he plays right back and then Lavia plays
- 20:59in the middle. I I literally think like I have,
- 21:01I think we can beat like knock on wood, obviously, but I think
- 21:03we can beat Newcastle next week. Like I really feel strongly.
- 21:06So I'm excited. I think the one thing I will say
- 21:09too about this game is we've talked a lot about the Chelsea
- 21:10players is but Tico's to Tico's point, Liverpool, a bunch of
- 21:14like the whole midfield was, was their second string.
- 21:16Yeah. And then Simicast started and he
- 21:19actually looked decent. And then I will say solid, even
- 21:22though he didn't score a lot of points, like he still looks so
- 21:24dangerous every time he's on the ball.
- 21:26Like there's a few things like he didn't get points for where,
- 21:28you know, he shot at wide or he missed or that, this or that.
- 21:30But like, man, every time he gets the ball, you're just like,
- 21:33oh, like, don't do it, you know? He could have easily got on like
- 21:37an an assist for Tony Nunez and the goal himself.
- 21:40Totally, Yeah. But he didn't.
- 21:43But he didn't. But and also of Liverpool
- 21:45trends, I don't know if you guys saw today he put out a post that
- 21:48he's officially leaving. He kind of confirmed everything.
- 21:51So as a 10th honor, Keith, you know, I think he might just get
- 21:55one last game and I had filled in.
- 21:57That's it. I don't know.
- 21:58I mean, I think also that he's going to like, they're going to,
- 22:02I don't know. I really don't know what to
- 22:04expect there. I think Connor Bradley's in play
- 22:05for sure. But I also think that what's
- 22:08going to end up happening is that they're probably going to
- 22:10like Trent's probably going to start some games and come off
- 22:13after like 30-40 minutes just to give Conor badly run.
- 22:16But I don't think they're going to I don't think they're totally
- 22:18going to shot play Trent because I feel like that that like gets
- 22:21rid of some of the goodwill with him and like the good vibes from
- 22:24the fans and. You know they got, they claimed
- 22:26the last I was. Going to say they have to.
- 22:27He has to say his goodbye to get booed a lot by a few.
- 22:30Only a few. There's only a few.
- 22:33I think the majority will understand he's won them a
- 22:35couple leagues and a Champions League.
- 22:37Yeah, like I'm, I'm probably going to try and pick up Connor
- 22:39Bradley, but like, I'm, I'm not just saying this.
- 22:41I know Enzo's fab, but like if I wasn't a trend owner, I probably
- 22:45wouldn't be worth it because I really don't.
- 22:46I think it's going to be like annoying.
- 22:48I think it's going to be like Connor Bradley maybe plays one
- 22:50game, Trent plays 2. They're off at like the 55th
- 22:53minute. Like Trent goes off on the 50th
- 22:54minute. You miss your clean sheet.
- 22:55Like I think it's going to be a little bit of a headache, but
- 22:58like I'm just in this scenario and it's like nothing.
- 23:00Well, they play Arsenal next week, so regardless it's going
- 23:02to be difficult game for defenders.
- 23:04Yeah, totally. But really quick to go back to
- 23:06Chelsea, the Enzo Fernandez who's been someone we've never
- 23:09liked. He's ranked 15th overall, not
- 23:12just midfielders and he's averaging 11.15.
- 23:15And the way that's he doesn't have those games where like it's
- 23:1730 points, then 88 or like 5. He's been pretty consistent
- 23:21throughout the whole year averaging about 8 to 11 points.
- 23:24And then he has those like big games where he has a goal or an
- 23:26assist. So you.
- 23:27Think he gets picked up second round.
- 23:28So here's the thing. I think the difference between
- 23:30this year and last year was that with Pochettino, Pochettino
- 23:33played like with two sixes and he had ends up playing in like
- 23:36deeper and it wasn't really his position.
- 23:38He didn't look good. But now with the Maresca's
- 23:41system and with the right back and the left back dropping in
- 23:44the midfield, it forces Enzo Fern.
- 23:46It has Enzo Fern in his play higher up, almost like a second
- 23:4810 next to Col. Palmer.
- 23:49So it's just it's creating, it's putting him in like much higher,
- 23:53better scoring position. So.
- 23:54So yeah, I think it's super, super viable to have him second
- 23:57round in like second round, third round, yeah.
- 24:01And the second. Yeah, like somewhere in there I
- 24:03feel like you can't. I mean, it's probably not.
- 24:05It's not the most like exciting high upside player.
- 24:08Would you? Would you draft him before
- 24:09Gordon or Murphy? I would draft him in between
- 24:12those two. Over Gordon, No.
- 24:14Murphy Yes. Yeah, Yeah, I think that's
- 24:18right. Where's?
- 24:18Murphy. Behind as a player.
- 24:22And as as a player and the points.
- 24:26Take on me player right now. Murphy's drank 33rd.
- 24:30What the fuck does bullshit? And you said you would take him.
- 24:35End the second early, End the second early 3rd.
- 24:38Keep dropping on your board, huh?
- 24:39No. No, because if Gordon is there,
- 24:41I'll take Gordon and the second and then Murphy early 3rd.
- 24:46I think that's fine. Let me look right now.
- 24:48So I'm curious so, so if what do you want to look at that points
- 24:52for start between the two? I have it up right now.
- 24:54Well, I think Enzo should be pretty close to what he has
- 24:57because he's been consistent, as Tico said, I don't.
- 25:00Know why I can't but. I think Murphy's had some big
- 25:02games where he scored 25 plus. OK, so Gordon 11.6 points per
- 25:07start, Murphy 11 Fernandez. Let the record show 11 point. 7
- 25:13So Enzo Fernandez slightly higher points per start than
- 25:16both of them, yeah. And Keith has actually told this
- 25:20information that we don't have let that record also show.
- 25:23What? What do you mean?
- 25:23This is all publicly available information, you just need to
- 25:26know where to find it. Or pay for the paywall.
- 25:28I don't. I don't pay for anything.
- 25:29Yeah, because you got the free login credentials.
- 25:31No, that's not true at all. I'm not logged into anything
- 25:33right now. This is a.
- 25:34This is totally publicly accessible.
- 25:36Well, we know, we all know that the Commissioner of the fan
- 25:38tracks gets to adjust things in the league.
- 25:40I think as a podcast we should make that information public
- 25:43Turbo on keep. So if you could just.
- 25:45Let you share your website. Share your fucking screen right
- 25:47now. Website.
- 25:48Share your fucking screen right now.
- 25:49Let me see your screen. It's on another laptop.
- 25:52It's not. On the you see that that's his
- 25:55burner. Account it's.
- 25:57On my burner. Laptop, yeah.
- 26:00OK moving on, it's just a couple of notes.
- 26:03Mario 19.5 points today in the forest game against palace, he
- 26:07got the goal. He also came off injured, so
- 26:09that's alarming if you have him, that might be at this point of
- 26:12the season like he. Sort of like.
- 26:13During injury or something might be.
- 26:14It was it was his thigh. He was holding his thigh so it
- 26:17could be a hammy. Yeah, I will say, though, he was
- 26:19walking around after the game. So that at least makes me think
- 26:22that there's a chance, because if it was really bad, they
- 26:24don't, they don't let you walk around.
- 26:25I think I've had the most injuries this season.
- 26:28I think I've had the most injuries this.
- 26:29Season. I think I've had the most
- 26:30injuries this season if we're just saying stuff.
- 26:33I don't know, actually, I'm not sure about the most, but I think
- 26:36I've had the most key injuries this season.
- 26:37OK, Keith, just shut up. Who's the best player?
- 26:41Who's the best player You lost for the year?
- 26:44Me. Yeah, For the year?
- 26:46No. You Emerald.
- 26:47What does the cow you mean? You never had it, Marino.
- 26:49Marino and Rogery. I lost both of that.
- 26:52You did please well. It's been a collective 70 fab on
- 26:54that. I mean, Marine knows, you know,
- 26:57you dropped. That he was injured because he
- 26:59was, because he freaking. Tore his fucking shoulder.
- 27:03Armors on his string yeah OK next I bet you as a 18.5 points
- 27:09nabbed the goal off a penalty. It was kind of nervy the way he
- 27:12took that penalty because he missed one like 2 weeks before
- 27:14and he just did not look super something.
- 27:15Like the way these guys take penalties, man.
- 27:18Like Solanke does the same thing where he does the Tony thing
- 27:21where he just doesn't look at the ball.
- 27:23Like one of these mother fuckers is going to like miss the ball
- 27:25at some point. It's going to they're going to
- 27:26look so. Stupid that would be really
- 27:29funny he looks good though I mean he always looks good I bet
- 27:33you as I think he's kind of going to be like one of the top
- 27:35guys next year and it's just where does he go is that what
- 27:38you're going to say I. Hope he doesn't go to Man City.
- 27:40He's going to get Grealish. Yeah, he's.
- 27:43Going to get Grealish. He's going to be fucking.
- 27:44Over you think is is he? Is that the rumor?
- 27:46What? They were trying to go for him
- 27:48last year, remember? What about Tottenham?
- 27:51He won't go, I think that ship of sail I.
- 27:52Think that ship was sailed but he would start because I think
- 27:54sun's at the end of his fucking tether.
- 27:57Yeah, Sun. You know, people have been
- 27:59really disappointed with Sun this year.
- 28:02But he's been that, no, it's very good season.
- 28:04Yeah, he really hasn't. I feel like it's like there's
- 28:07this kind of narrative that he's like.
- 28:09Well, he just he just didn't break anyone's legs this year.
- 28:11Oh, you meant you meant that? How do you mean that?
- 28:14Was that a double antanja? OK he but I mean his points per
- 28:19start still 12.6. And I, I dropped it.
- 28:22I, I tried it for him and he's been injured.
- 28:25Fucking motherfucker. OK, next, next one.
- 28:29Yakuba Minta from Brighton scored a goal against
- 28:31Newcastle's former team. Did the weirdest celebration
- 28:33ever where he's like I'm not going to celebrate, these are
- 28:35celebrating. Scored 17.7 points.
- 28:39I like him. Have we?
- 28:40I like. I like him too.
- 28:41I think it's just about I'm not just getting starts consistency.
- 28:44His biggest issue? Yeah.
- 28:46So let me get you would you? I think we might have discussed
- 28:50it before. Would you celebrate against your
- 28:51old team or would you do the? I think it really depends on
- 28:55what that old team and I, the relationship is with them.
- 28:59You know, I think it's so it's so dependent, but I, I don't
- 29:02think if there should be some, some unspoken rule, you don't
- 29:05have to. I think me, me and Tika will
- 29:07have the same answer here. Which is yes, absolutely.
- 29:10No, I think I'm more on the. I think it depends the terms you
- 29:15leave up and how long it's been. If it's like the people you
- 29:17played against or whatever. I think you.
- 29:19I wouldn't. Yeah, again, it's just the terms
- 29:21you left or I wouldn't do this. I might just.
- 29:24Fucking add up by all that shit bro.
- 29:27I was going to say that that's what I think about just running
- 29:29the whole length of the field to celebrate in front of the
- 29:31opposition fans. Like of the team that you scored
- 29:34against, the team that you used to play for.
- 29:36Fucking that's some. That's all time fucking sweet.
- 29:39Forget about. Suarez dude doesn't give a shit.
- 29:42Wait, so how about this? So I I picked up some cards this
- 29:47weekend. This is probably a story.
- 29:48Let me tell the story at the end.
- 29:50OK? I'll tell the story at the end
- 29:51because it's longer, OK? Fabian Char 60.75 points.
- 29:55Cher. Fabian Cher 16.75 points.
- 29:58Lipped off Limped off in the 89th.
- 30:00Minute could have just been tired.
- 30:01Done for the year, could have been just been tired.
- 30:02Though I'm hoping he's done for the year too.
- 30:04I hope I'm. Hoping I didn't fucking say that
- 30:07I didn't agree with me. But I want, I want, I want
- 30:10Newcastle to have all the injuries.
- 30:12Well, that would be a double for you because he's also on my
- 30:15team. Yeah, putting up great numbers.
- 30:17So yeah. Love that Alexander Esack 16.5
- 30:19points, got the penalty. He's kind of saved his saved his
- 30:22his game. They play Chelsea next week.
- 30:26Yuri Tilleman 16 points, got a goal quietly.
- 30:28Just continuing to have a great season.
- 30:31It's going to be interesting to see where he goes, do you think?
- 30:33Picking him up in the second round.
- 30:35Of head of Enzo Fernandez and Anthony Gordon.
- 30:37Ed Murphy. Murphy Weifer, who was on
- 30:40waivers last week, 14.25 points, 11% owned, 3 double digit games
- 30:44in a row. Is he playing like he's Yeah,
- 30:46that's weird. That right team's weird.
- 30:48I just don't. Like he's in plane.
- 30:49I don't really want but they're yeah, they're good.
- 30:51It's just it feels a key to me. Newcastle injury alert Joel Joel
- 30:56Ellington out for the rest of the season.
- 30:58Oh no. Yeah, that's that was it's huge
- 31:02for them. But I think you're thinking me
- 31:04back by next season. I don't think I think that's
- 31:06they're good. I think they can still do
- 31:07without him, but we'll see. No other big news.
- 31:10I'm surprised it's not on air. Holland's back.
- 31:13He was on the bench as he got. Did he get into?
- 31:14The game, I don't think he got into the.
- 31:16Game on your sub? You didn't get it but I was
- 31:19surprised that game is not on the notes.
- 31:20So Wando wolves, they're losing. Winning streak came to an end.
- 31:24Wolves waiting. She came to an end.
- 31:26It was kind of KDB scored kind of early and then that was kind
- 31:29of the game. I thought Wolves had some pretty
- 31:31decent chances that they just couldn't quite finish, yeah.
- 31:34You know. Keep do you mind checking what's
- 31:36KDB points per start because I think he's having like a
- 31:38surprising lead well year. Yeah, the issue with him is he
- 31:40didn't start a lot of games, so his points were started as 14.8,
- 31:43but he's only started 16 games. You think you think Harlan
- 31:46starts next game? No, I think Holiday comes off
- 31:50the bench next game. Would you star him if he was on
- 31:53the bench? What do they play?
- 31:56Derek plays Tico. I starred him.
- 32:00I starred him too. He's on the bench.
- 32:01I got Southampton, I'd start him too.
- 32:03Yeah, I starred him. Yeah, Derek, if they're good,
- 32:06I'll mess with his lineup. You're listening Derek fucking
- 32:09put in Holland doesn't might be starred.
- 32:11I know you said that. You sent us a note being like,
- 32:14oh only bitches would tell other people that.
- 32:16Well, I knew it was going to. I knew it was.
- 32:17Going to happen. What did you say?
- 32:19Oh like, oh, it's so lame to like tell someone to remind
- 32:21someone to. Real men don't do it.
- 32:23Real men don't do it. Yeah, so that's why.
- 32:25What? Did you think about what I did
- 32:26today? Was that was that was that, was
- 32:29that what a real man would do? I said good game, Derek, you
- 32:32might have beat me if you would have set your line up.
- 32:34And it's left at that. No, that's even worse.
- 32:36Why? Why is it?
- 32:37Because you're complimenting him and kissing his ass at the same
- 32:39time. Well, you're complimenting.
- 32:41Yourself. I'm not directly telling him to
- 32:43set his line up next week when I'm planting the seed.
- 32:45Oh, maybe I can win if I set my line up.
- 32:48Just, you know what you should have Just every time you message
- 32:50him, I'm like, hey, you know, like Arsenal, the release,
- 32:53they're starting 11, a lot of changes, huh?
- 32:55Changes. I'm gonna blow this guy's phone
- 32:57up at 3:45 in the morning. For the four, for the 4:00 AM
- 33:01game, we're Chelsea next week. How upset would you guys be if
- 33:04he benches everyone against me? Oh, I'd be so fucking.
- 33:06They're pretty upset I guess. I think anyone anything like
- 33:10that where it's just it's against the I understand if
- 33:12you're too busy or whatever, obviously that's the lame as
- 33:15hell, but I think if you're purposely trying to lose, then
- 33:17that's a problem. Yeah.
- 33:18And elite. OK.
- 33:21Should we go into waivers? Yeah, let's go into waivers.
- 33:23I think #1 waiver for me is Michael Coyote from Brentford,
- 33:274% owned. He's just breaking into the team
- 33:30in the last three matches. In those three matches, he's had
- 33:33two double digit games and the other one he only played 60
- 33:35minutes. So I don't, I'm not thinking
- 33:37about that one too much. They've won all three of those
- 33:39games. And before he even before he
- 33:42scored or anything, he just really stood out.
- 33:44I think he had a golden and an assist in the last game, but he
- 33:46really stood out. Just his athleticism and his
- 33:48power. He just looks like really strong
- 33:50and big and he adds such a nice dynamic to that Brentford team.
- 33:53Yeah. So I actually really, really
- 33:54like him and I think he might be a number one waiver, especially
- 33:57when you need a defender. I think so.
- 33:59And so, yeah, so it's like don't, don't go for like
- 34:01Leicester guys for Leicester, go for like the Bradford rest of
- 34:04season schedule is pretty good too, so.
- 34:07I'm going for I'd. I'd go for that wefer guy.
- 34:10That's what I'd go for. That's who you, that's who
- 34:12you're gonna go for. Well, you can get whoever you
- 34:15want, right? Yeah, that's it.
- 34:18That's nice. Cool.
- 34:18Good to know. Ipswich full of Wolves are the
- 34:21next two games for Bradford. I think that's pretty good,
- 34:26yeah. That's good.
- 34:28Yeah, OK, Next one, Constantinos, Simicos,
- 34:31Liverpool. I think he's going to start the
- 34:32rest of the games for them, maybe any Robertson gets in for
- 34:35one. But I think for the most part,
- 34:37like, I think they want to see if he can do it, like if he can
- 34:40play in that role because I, I think Robertson is going to be
- 34:42gone next season. But he's still under contract,
- 34:45right? Robertson.
- 34:46I think it's. I think it's like he has like 1
- 34:48year left though so I think they're going to try and get get
- 34:51him to move. Think goes to Selleck or
- 34:53Rangers. There's one he'll go to.
- 34:56Absolutely not the. Other I know, I just don't know
- 34:58which one it is. I don't know which one it is.
- 34:59Didn't he come from Hibernian? Came from Hibernian so I'm not
- 35:02sure. I'm not sure, but yeah, but you
- 35:05know, they, I think Liverpool will continue to kind of rotate
- 35:08a little bit too and invest some guys and do that.
- 35:10And I think the only issue for Liverpool is that what Arsenal
- 35:14next. So not, not not the most ideal
- 35:16game, but kind of a weird one. I mean, Arsenal now all of a
- 35:20sudden has to kind of play a little more because all of a
- 35:22sudden they're getting rope thrown back into the top four
- 35:23race. But but we'll see.
- 35:27But yeah, so I think he's a pretty good start.
- 35:29Next one on the list is actually maybe even more.
- 35:31I'd probably put it rank him like one, one or two actually as
- 35:36Joe Willick. That's right. 14% owned mid with
- 35:40the Joe Ellington injury. He got the start this week.
- 35:44They have Brighton next week or no, sorry, they played Brighton.
- 35:46It wasn't pretty, but you know, Chelsea, they played Chelsea
- 35:49next week. It's not the most ideal game for
- 35:51midfielder to play against for sure, but I think after that
- 35:54there's I think they're fairly easy games for for them.
- 35:56So yeah, I'm I'm into that. I'm really, really into that
- 36:01one. The next one.
- 36:04This is a little weird one. Ethan Windieri 49% owned mid
- 36:07Arsenal. It was a big surprise to me they
- 36:09didn't start this weekend considering that that it was
- 36:12smacked out in between 2 Champions League games.
- 36:15But surely he must start next week, right?
- 36:17Kai saw him pick him up in the hopes that he would start over.
- 36:21Soccer. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 36:22Do you think or or Odegard One of them you know?
- 36:26Odegard started so. Yeah, but I mean, I'm saying,
- 36:28but I'm just like you. You think that between two of
- 36:30them, one of those guys would have gotten arrested?
- 36:32Yeah, but they weren't so. But I, I just can't imagine that
- 36:36they play. I don't know.
- 36:37I just, I feel like, I feel like he's going to get a start next
- 36:40week even more so. Well, they played PhD on
- 36:44Wednesday, so if they're no longer in Champions League, they
- 36:46might. And the next game is Liverpool
- 36:48this weekend. Yeah, maybe.
- 36:51I'm sure they don't want to get embarrassed against, you know,
- 36:53Liverpool. Maybe not, but yeah, I just
- 36:56think that there's, I don't know, that's how a feeling.
- 36:59The crystal ball is telling me he's getting a start.
- 37:02Arsenal's at the last two games, well they play Southampton which
- 37:06is easy, but they have Newcastle and Liverpool and like you said,
- 37:08it could be for top 4. Yeah, I think that Liverpool
- 37:11game's gonna be huge. They can Arsenal could do us a
- 37:14big favor with the win there by SMH Chelsea.
- 37:17OK, Other than that, just some a couple of names in the midfield
- 37:20area and see so who we talked about has had some really good
- 37:23games. Double digit 3 in his last four
- 37:26Ipswich, not necessarily a team that you want that you love, but
- 37:29I feel like he's been looking really good, has kind of been
- 37:31feeling himself. Canoes L canoes same way for
- 37:34Lester, I think 2:00 what 2 double digit games in his last
- 37:37two games he had a 20 pointer. Like he kind of has it in him.
- 37:43Harry Wilson not that exciting, but he's back from injury.
- 37:46So for full on so that there's something there and then what
- 37:49Tico we talked about Mason Mount scored a goal this week.
- 37:52He's probably going to start again because they're going to
- 37:54really focus in on Europa League.
- 37:57So I think there's some value there as well, just depending on
- 38:00who they're playing. If you can get a good match up
- 38:01and then forward, I think it's like absolutely brutal right
- 38:05now. It is a dead position.
- 38:07It is so hard to find anyone that you can feel good about.
- 38:10Last week I talked about full Krug and Rich Charleston.
- 38:12I started full Krug in the league and it was just a
- 38:14terrible idea. You got two points.
- 38:16Rich Charleston got zero points, but 60 minutes.
- 38:20I mean, maybe you go Beto and just cross your fingers, you
- 38:22know, close your eyes and cross your fingers on that one.
- 38:26He scored a goal this week. You kind of.
- 38:28But he's been so kind of hot, like hot and cold.
- 38:30It's just, it's just a tough time.
- 38:32Yeah. It's tough for stroke.
- 38:34We we lost a lot of talent honestly in the summer and
- 38:37didn't really bring anything in. We did lose a good amount of
- 38:39talent and like, you know, we have the, there's some big
- 38:41names, but and you know, like guys like Matata stepped up
- 38:43Chris Wood, but they're not like, you know.
- 38:46No, but it's still far in between.
- 38:48Like you want we can get, you know, Yocharis to come to the
- 38:52league. What is it awesome men to come
- 38:55to the league? They'll they'll beef up below.
- 38:57Yeah, who knows? All right, moving, looking ahead
- 39:00to Round 36, any games that really stand out to you guys
- 39:04other than Newcastle United, Chelsea, to me that's the only
- 39:08game that matters. That's it, Tottenham's playing
- 39:12palace. It's going to be, it's going to
- 39:14be a tough game for Tottenham. You know, what's interesting
- 39:18about that game is that both of them are going to have their
- 39:20heads kind of elsewhere. Yeah, I think because he's
- 39:23possibly thinking FA Cup final time to hopefully knock on wood
- 39:27be thinking about the Europa Cup final.
- 39:30So that's interesting. I think in the same vein,
- 39:32Liverpool, Arsenal, that could be by that time, like Arsenal
- 39:35could be out of Champions League and Liverpool could have won.
- 39:38You know, Liverpool already has won.
- 39:39So that that might be the like the same thing, but you know,
- 39:43the opposite reason they might be elsewhere just because
- 39:45they're, they don't have anything to play for either
- 39:47then. How amazing would that scenario
- 39:49be with Chelsea, Tottenham in the European titles?
- 39:53And also don't win. City wins, City wins the FA and
- 39:57Arsenal don't win anything. It would be very ironic.
- 40:00It'd be very, it'd be very, very funny.
- 40:03They might still consider a successful season.
- 40:06They probably would. Well, they've been, you know
- 40:08what? They've been contesting.
- 40:09They're there. Like would you rather be
- 40:11contesting and maybe not win a trophy here and there but maybe
- 40:16get one with the hope again one or would you be like mid table?
- 40:19But let me be shit and win. Let me be shit.
- 40:22Let me be shit. And it's the hope that kills
- 40:24you. It's the hope that kills you.
- 40:26Well, I I haven't had any hope for half this season and I'm
- 40:29dying inside. But you've also never been
- 40:32contested, like almost rarely. So for you it's like shitty size
- 40:37of everything. They had a few good years.
- 40:39Where? They had more than a few.
- 40:40Yeah, more than a good few years.
- 40:42Well, the year Leicester City 1 you guys could have won, yeah.
- 40:44We were in second. Yep.
- 40:46Yeah, but going back to the games, what was Brighton?
- 40:50That might be an interesting one.
- 40:52That is going to be an interesting one.
- 40:53That's a good shot. Anything else?
- 40:55No. Anything else you want to talk
- 40:56about? United W Time.
- 40:59United W Sam just oh, that's going to be an ugly.
- 41:01Game I need United to fucking draw Why is?
- 41:03That because he doesn't want to end up 17.
- 41:08Finishing 16 is what he's fighting for.
- 41:11Oh, you care? I I always thought that you'd
- 41:13prefer to end. Up.
- 41:13I actually don't even. Just as like just for the means
- 41:15I. Just don't even give a shit at
- 41:17this point. We're not going to get
- 41:18relegated. That was my biggest worry 7-8
- 41:20games ago. Now I just I just.
- 41:22All I care about is US winning Europa and firing big edge.
- 41:25That's all I care about. I heard something that really
- 41:29upset me. Like they said oh, if if big
- 41:33Ange wins the Europa, you can't fire him.
- 41:35Sure where you give him to at least January.
- 41:37No no, no ship is burning. Get rid of him.
- 41:41I. Keep 100% agree.
- 41:43You got it. You're going to get rid of him.
- 41:44Got to get rid of him. Did you hear the Did you hear
- 41:47the latest rumor? Not any, Yes.
- 41:49That's a lesser. Xavi.
- 41:49Oh, that. 'D be terrible.
- 41:51It'll be fucking terrible. Disgusting it.
- 41:53Wouldn't work. Wouldn't work.
- 41:54You know what? Wouldn't mind?
- 41:55I wouldn't mind freaking. What's his name?
- 41:59Flop went from Barcelona to Arsenal because Barcelona earned
- 42:03Arsenal money fucking the midfielders.
- 42:05Fabregas Cuomo, he's doing well. I wouldn't mind SESC.
- 42:09I'd take SESC. Would you not SESC?
- 42:12He's a little young. I would take him.
- 42:15I like the full. So do you just want a Spanish
- 42:17manager? Because lately they've been
- 42:19pretty dominant. I mean they haven't pretty good.
- 42:21Come on, my guy, you know how I'm thinking.
- 42:24We're getting one Real Madrid. Alonzo.
- 42:27Alonzo. Yeah.
- 42:28Wait, is that confirmed? So it's like from everything
- 42:32that I'm reading, it's pretty much a done deal.
- 42:34So wait, everything that everything that you're reading,
- 42:35which is Real Madrid news, OK, go on.
- 42:37Yeah. Exactly, but I also wrote that
- 42:41Real Madrid's options were Clop. They prefer Clop over Alonzo and
- 42:46Clop turned them down but I guess afterwards.
- 42:48He has. I don't think he can get
- 42:49Vinicius and and Bappe and Rodrigo to fucking do the high.
- 42:53Press What's Alonzo going to do you think he.
- 42:56That's what Alonzo does. High press he.
- 42:58Also, how's Alonzo going to play the back, the 352 with that
- 43:01team? I think that's going to be, I
- 43:02think it's, I think a Real Madrid actually might be in like
- 43:05a tough few years with adjustments and stuff.
- 43:09No, Alonzo came out and said, he said you just adapt to the
- 43:11players you have. And I think he's smart enough to
- 43:13change it to 4433 or whatever because under Moreno he played
- 43:1744231, he played 433. So he's himself has played
- 43:22different a lot of different positions or formations.
- 43:25So I'm pretty sure he could adapt in I.
- 43:27Think he's going to pull an Ander in and just force players
- 43:29into positions for? Absolutely not, no.
- 43:32He's one of the smartest players ever, so I don't see him.
- 43:36Trying to he's a, but he said play.
- 43:38He's a coach now. OK, so.
- 43:40OK, another, sorry, getting sidetracked again guys, but
- 43:43another really interesting one. Acid Villa AC Bournemouth.
- 43:48Ratcher's out. For seasons, yeah, Pretty big
- 43:51implications. Villa's kind of been struggling
- 43:52a little bit and they've got to win this week.
- 43:54Is Leon Bailey going to play I. Don't know man, what a forgotten
- 43:58man. Oh.
- 44:00You know who else we talked a lot about?
- 44:02Ross Barkley. We thought he he would get some
- 44:03like minutes, but he was, he's something now Factor.
- 44:06Yeah, Yeah. From like the gecko didn't even
- 44:08get it. JWP has played more minutes than
- 44:10him, but by now. Yeah, maybe Villa could have
- 44:13burned burned you. If you dropped the Villa
- 44:14players, you kind of got burned this.
- 44:15Year burned. Watkins, Bailey, Ross Bark.
- 44:19West Ham too burned you because they bought some players like oh
- 44:23these should be good. They fucking Somerville folk rug
- 44:26fucking. Hell, and from Villa, the
- 44:28players that are probably performing are players who
- 44:30didn't get drafted. Morgan Rogers didn't get
- 44:32drafted. Joey Chelanans, did he get
- 44:34drafted or he was he got, I mean, maybe so later on, yeah.
- 44:37Morgan Rogers. Must have got drafted by
- 44:39somewhere on no? He wasn't really that big of a
- 44:42name. Out of them waivers all.
- 44:44Right. Is that kind of it?
- 44:45And then I can tell my story. Gonna tell you a story.
- 44:47I just shut up, Tico. Just shut up, Tico.
- 44:49I just noticed I have a trade off for in my inbox but this is
- 44:53from back in March that I never cancelled.
- 44:56Oh they got from Garnacho? It's just sitting there.
- 45:00Who? Who is it?
- 45:02I mean, come on. It's oh Kyle, accept it.
- 45:08I would accept it. I mean, I could just wait to see
- 45:11like on the day of the lineup. I'm not just going to let it sit
- 45:13there. Let's see, Let's see listens to
- 45:16this and. Then he doesn't listen.
- 45:19Kyle. Debbie doesn't listen.
- 45:21Oh, he's. Too busy.
- 45:22He's too busy fucking jacking it off to fucking listen that
- 45:25fucking girl too far. No.
- 45:27So it's the person who's going to be in a hotel for a month.
- 45:32OK, OK, so I I got myself a pack of Prism, like what's what we
- 45:41call it, like soccer cards. Yeah, like soccer cards, Panini
- 45:44Prism. And I got the not the slot, not
- 45:46the 2425, but 2324, OK. And I was like opening it and I
- 45:53saw this card, I was like, that's kind of a cool card.
- 45:55It's like a cool Raheem Sterling card.
- 45:57But I was like, but it's like, you know what you're really
- 46:00looking for? You're looking for a really nice
- 46:02auto or you're looking for, I think these inserts which are
- 46:05case hits. There's one there's one of the
- 46:07type of card in the case and it's like the color blast like
- 46:10these really nice ones. And then I went and I like
- 46:12opened the whole all my packs. I was like, cool.
- 46:14Then I went through it again and I looked at that Raheem, this
- 46:16Raheem Shirley card I pulled. It's called a groovy and I was
- 46:19like, wait, this does look kind of special.
- 46:20And I looked it up and it was a it was a case hit.
- 46:23So it's like it wasn't just one per box.
- 46:25There was one per a box of boxes in the case.
- 46:28So pretty exciting. That is nice man.
- 46:33What was the Chelsea one did? You check, did you check the the
- 46:38price the. Price.
- 46:40I mean not they're like people have people have them online for
- 46:43like 40 bucks still. Good.
- 46:45So it's not that it's not that good, but then I was thinking
- 46:48about Raheem Sterling and I was like, man, so few players have
- 46:51played for four of the top six teams in England.
- 46:55Like I couldn't think of another player that have played for
- 46:58four. Then I was trying to think of
- 46:59players that have played for three and I I have a list.
- 47:02Do you guys have a guesses for players that have played for
- 47:04three of the top 6 clubs in England?
- 47:07Torres, three of the tops. Yeah, at least at least three.
- 47:10Torres No. Cesc.
- 47:13Or Cesc Fabregas is in there. No Arsenal, Arsenal.
- 47:16Chelsea. Arsenal, Chelsea.
- 47:19Raheem Sterling's the only one that's remotely contemporary.
- 47:21All of them are older. How?
- 47:23How far back are we talking about?
- 47:24Like one generation back. Sol Campbell?
- 47:26No, He played for Tottenham. He played for Tottenham Arsenal.
- 47:29No, but guys who they're all guys who played alongside Sol
- 47:32Campbell or like with or against.
- 47:33You Ashley Cole? No.
- 47:35No, OK, He had two Arsenal and Chelsea.
- 47:38Chelsea, do you want me to start giving you names?
- 47:40Yeah, give us one. Give us a clue.
- 47:42OK. Anelka, Nicholas.
- 47:45Anelka. 'S up there, Nicholas.
- 47:46Anelka's one. Arsenal, Man City, Chelsea.
- 47:48OK, next one. This one.
- 47:50I'm surprised, no. Yes, Emmanuel Adwire Arsenal
- 47:53made City, Tottenham. But at the time, was city top
- 47:56team? Team or are we?
- 47:57I don't know. I mean, yeah, that's that's a
- 47:59little tricky. Now the last one.
- 48:01William Gallus. Oh.
- 48:03Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham, yeah, yeah.
- 48:07So that was kind of fun so. But yeah, so I got a cool case
- 48:10hit and even though it's not like super expensive card, I was
- 48:12super. It made me happy.
- 48:13Nice. It's a nice card.
- 48:14I like it do. You guys want to see my my best?
- 48:17Card. Yeah, can't see it.
- 48:18It's frozen. Little messy.
- 48:20Shit. That's numbered out of 290. 9 Do
- 48:25you get it graded? Not impressed.
- 48:28No, I just have it in a nice. Box.
- 48:29How much is that thing? I don't know 300 bucks you.
- 48:33Want to sell it? No, hold on.
- 48:36My wife loves Messi. Messi No.
- 48:39Maybe. Yeah.
- 48:40She has a thing for sure. You guys, huh?
