  Hello and welcome to episode 110 Dropped Off Sides.
• 0:04
  My name is Keith. I'm with Tico and Enzo.
• 0:07
  Tico is in Real Madrid mode. We need him to switch out of
• 0:11
  that and get into finish Premier League mode.
• 0:14
  We don't care about that. Yeah, this is what we usually we
• 0:17
  will target you for about 10 seconds at the end of the
• 0:19
  episode. Not right now, Tico, not right
• 0:22
  now. But all right, let's get into
• 0:25
  it. Some fun games this weekend,
• 0:27
  some surprises. I think there were some injuries
• 0:31
  too. I think that that's kind of like
• 0:33
  when Dia right when he was looking like he could be have
• 0:35
  some potential, he got injured and then it looked like there
• 0:38
  was a slew of Arsenal players that came off injured.
• 0:41
  Any and you guys have any thoughts on those or any any any
• 0:45
  news on those? No when Dia has, but they've
• 0:49
  been winning games around. He's just been coming off the
• 0:51
  bench. Arsenal has depth so this is
• 0:56
  like the one time I can actually say that I'm still worried about
• 0:59
  them because they still have all that depth so they'll they'll be
• 1:01
  fine. Who also injured Romero growing
• 1:06
  but Danza had a great game so might be a nice pick up.
• 1:10
  Well, Saliba is a huge hit. They have that.
• 1:13
  But Saliba is kind of like an irreplaceable player, amazing
• 1:16
  center back and the awesome Villa midfielder.
• 1:20
  Say his name? Enzo Guandia.
• 1:22
  Buen Dia. He he got the start and he got
• 1:26
  injured, but I think he got an assist before he got the start.
• 1:28
  So he's kind of St. hot St. continues as well, but I think
• 1:31
  he's going to be out for a for a while.
• 1:34
  Feels like there was a couple more people coming off injured,
• 1:36
  but I don't think there was anything major that's going to
• 1:39
  cause someone to miss a long period of time.
• 1:41
  Let's hope not. That always sucks.
• 1:43
  Oh, it always sucks, all right. Other than that, any other kind
• 1:48
  of key things from the week you want to talk to talk about?
• 1:50
  I know Chico went oh and two this week, but the Real Madrid
• 1:54
  win is bolstering his move. Yeah, I would want to know what
• 1:57
  are you talking about? He went, he went.
• 1:59
  Oh, and two and he also lost us our bet.
• 2:03
  Oh yeah, he did lose our bat for us this week.
• 2:05
  Wait. Oh yeah, that's right.
• 2:07
  And how'd you do? I lost by .75 because of fucking
• 2:12
  reindeer games, motherfucker. What does that mean, Oh rat
• 2:15
  rinders? Yeah, fucking Ben Affleck,
• 2:18
  motherfucker. And I won.
• 2:23
  I won in the main league and then fantasy American football.
• 2:27
  I won both my matchups. We don't.
• 2:28
  Care about that, do not care. I went one-on-one and it sucked
• 2:32
  because I I was looking pretty good going to the final game.
• 2:35
  I had kudos to play and he had then and then and I lost because
• 2:40
  we had events scored 30 plus and kudos got like nothing.
• 2:44
  Keith, you know what I. Mean good points, didn't he?
• 2:46
  No kudos, got zero points 0. Points.
• 2:49
  Or close to that. Really.
• 2:52
  Yeah, Tico recent in our main league, you're in a three.
• 2:55
  Game losing streak 3 game losing.
• 2:56
  Streak. Each week I've come up against a
• 2:58
  players gone 30 plus points. Little unfortunate.
• 3:02
  What are you going to do? You realize what when you're
• 3:05
  losing streak started right when when you started to get cute and
• 3:08
  start worrying about your team name instead of focusing on what
• 3:11
  really matters. Actually you are exactly correct
• 3:15
  and that is alarming. Maybe I need to change it back.
• 3:18
  What was it before craw? A craw keef or something?
• 3:21
  Yeah, whatever. Whatever you've had.
• 3:22
  And you know, it's too late now, Keef.
• 3:24
  Yeah, don't go back. It's too late.
• 3:26
  You think if I go back at all just, I think I, I think you can
• 3:28
  like reverse a curse, right? That's what I think.
• 3:30
  I have to reverse the curse. Yeah, go for it.
• 3:32
  Pulling cruel keef you. Have you have to sacrifice
• 3:35
  something or someone? I have.
• 3:35
  To sacrifice something, I have to sacrifice my.
• 3:38
  My first one, the player. I can't wait dollar.
• 3:40
  I can't wait till January to sacrifice my first one for for
• 3:44
  this. OK, let's begin.
• 3:45
  Let's get into some of the games.
• 3:46
  We're going to blow through some of these.
• 3:48
  So Leeds to West Ham one saying, man, this looks pitiful at
• 3:52
  almost no, I don't know if they look worse than underground
• 3:55
  Potter, but I will tell you that that a lot of the assets look
• 3:58
  worse like the youth doesn't look nearly as good underground
• 4:01
  Potter Wamba Soko was did not look great, just rough.
• 4:07
  If you listen to us last week and you picked up Aaron saying
• 4:11
  you're very happy scored 22.5 points.
• 4:15
  Roden got 20.25 as well. Any thoughts on this game?
• 4:20
  No, just Bowen seems like to be the only one you want really
• 4:23
  want to start right now on West Ham.
• 4:26
  Yeah. And even that was kind of like
• 4:27
  in like, you know, it's like not garbage time, but it was like a
• 4:29
  late assist. It's fine man.
• 4:32
  Points to points. Points of points, I know, but
• 4:34
  yeah, he's he's like I like I have deuce and I'm definitely
• 4:37
  not starting him until I start seeing some returns again.
• 4:40
  I think, I think WAMBA soccer doesn't feel great right now and
• 4:43
  you know, you were hoping that maybe coaching change would help
• 4:45
  some of these guys, but as of right now it's not the case.
• 4:49
  It's funny because there's more valuable assets on Leeds,
• 4:52
  Sunderland and Burnley than are on West Ham right now.
• 4:55
  Absolutely, collectively, absolutely.
• 4:58
  All right. Next time Chelsea one,
• 4:59
  Sunderland 2. Cherry scored 12.75.
• 5:03
  The notes say the floor is yours.
• 5:04
  I'm not going to go on a rant. I'm going to say that Chelsea
• 5:07
  had 70 something percent of the possession but just could not
• 5:10
  break Sunderland down. And Sunderland broke and
• 5:13
  countered really well. Sucks for them.
• 5:15
  I think Chelsea assets, you're a little alarmed right now with
• 5:18
  like, you know, the job, Pedros and those types of guys.
• 5:21
  It was nice to see. Garnett should get a goal,
• 5:23
  though. Yeah, he's he's around in like
• 5:25
  50. He's like available in like
• 5:27
  what, 46% of leagues or something like that.
• 5:30
  Yeah, sounds like that. So he might be around.
• 5:33
  Rotation fucking issues at Chelsea right now.
• 5:37
  Yeah, and even though, even if you do pick up a Garnacha, you
• 5:39
  know he's talking again like a 90 a lot of times because either
• 5:41
  Gittins will come in or they'll let STL come in and put Netto on
• 5:44
  the left or yeah, yeah, there's a lot of peep moving parts
• 5:47
  there. So unless some unless one of
• 5:48
  these guys really goes like gets on fire, it's it's kind of a a
• 5:52
  mixed bag on that. But I think Chelsea they play
• 5:55
  Tottenham necks, which is obviously not a great game if
• 5:58
  you were like for bounce back points wise.
• 6:00
  So, you know, are you at the point where you're like benching
• 6:03
  your job? Pedros Yes.
• 6:05
  He hasn't scored well in multiple weeks.
• 6:09
  You promised. It's a tough position, right?
• 6:11
  It's such a hard position last time.
• 6:14
  Yeah, last time Pedro had a double digit scoring game was
• 6:17
  back in September 13 when he had 10.25.
• 6:20
  Yeah. That was the assists, yeah.
• 6:23
  And also I was also surprising to see Garnacha get the knot
• 6:26
  over a step out. You know, we're a huge step out
• 6:28
  stands. We love the love the guy, and
• 6:30
  he's been playing pretty well recently.
• 6:32
  So I kind of was surprised to see Garnacha get the knot.
• 6:36
  It was rewarded though. I mean, he scored.
• 6:37
  He, he had his moments. I mean, Garnacho was very he's,
• 6:40
  he's Garnacho's been very Garnacho esque to me where he
• 6:42
  just has these like moments where he looks amazing and
• 6:44
  moments where he's not super involved.
• 6:45
  Did Esteval play in Champions League?
• 6:47
  He did. Not my view.
• 6:50
  I think he had a he scored the penalty.
• 6:52
  He scored. He scored in Champions League, I
• 6:54
  think. I think Esteval is just, I think
• 6:56
  they're being really careful with him.
• 6:57
  Pico, I think he's just so young.
• 6:58
  They don't want to overplay him and you know, being in back part
• 7:02
  off the bench, I think sometimes it can be a valuable, you know,
• 7:05
  but he came on and he looked decent when he came on.
• 7:07
  I don't know how many points he got when he came on, but but
• 7:09
  yeah, I mean, I something's got to give there that that was
• 7:11
  pretty rough. And I think I think part of what
• 7:13
  that something is is maybe getting Esteban on the field
• 7:15
  sooner. So there's a chance that he
• 7:17
  starts the next game. You know, it just that it just
• 7:19
  becomes really tricky because it's like, where does then you
• 7:22
  put, then you put Pedro Netto on not in his best position and
• 7:26
  then like getting Zen Garnaccho miss out.
• 7:28
  There's just or you put. Yeah, I mean, there's it's just
• 7:31
  it just gets a little to the headache.
• 7:33
  I'm glad you didn't go on a rant, Keith.
• 7:35
  I did, I did didn't I? OK next game Newcastle 2 full of
• 7:40
  one. I thought Newcastle looked
• 7:43
  pretty good and I know they scored super late but it was
• 7:45
  like frustrating that they didn't score sooner.
• 7:47
  A rare bad game from Voltamar points wise.
• 7:50
  I still thought he looked OK. He almost scored in the 1st 5
• 7:53
  minutes. I was going to say rare, but
• 7:55
  because he didn't score, yeah. So go heavy.
• 8:00
  Yeah, very pretty goal dependent.
• 8:01
  Bruno G with 23.5 points. Sasha Lukic on full on about 18
• 8:04
  points. He's been kind of sneaky good as
• 8:07
  a fantasy asset. Yeah, he he was injured like
• 8:11
  last week, but if you had dropped him like me, you're an
• 8:13
  idiot and you should try to pick him up.
• 8:16
  Man, Sven Bachman got injured this game.
• 8:19
  He came off early and so. Fabian Shaw, baby.
• 8:23
  Trip here man, that guy is having such a bounce a good.
• 8:25
  Bounce, the trip is on. Oh, he's getting the, he's only
• 8:32
  getting the the knob because of Liveramento and.
• 8:35
  Hall being injured. And Hall being injured.
• 8:36
  But even when Hall is coming back, Trippier is still starting
• 8:40
  quite a few games. Yeah, that's true.
• 8:42
  But they will easy hold back. But now he's just he's got to
• 8:45
  start way. He's he's good, He's good to go.
• 8:48
  What's that saying about like the best ability is
• 8:51
  availability? Yeah, that's, that's trippier
• 8:53
  these days. But I mean, I mean, he's just
• 8:56
  like a fantasy. He's like fantasy gold.
• 8:58
  He just like, loves to like whip the ball in the box and you
• 9:00
  know. And that's a nice set piece too.
• 9:02
  He's on a few sets. Yeah, exactly.
• 9:04
  So, yeah, he's juicy. Where where would who would you
• 9:08
  trade for trip here right now? Is trip here like like where do
• 9:11
  you value that? Defenders are scoring really
• 9:13
  well right now. Defenders square well, Newcastle
• 9:15
  especially has been pretty good on and not conceding lots and
• 9:20
  lots of goals. There had that many clean sheets
• 9:22
  though. They have had quite a few I
• 9:24
  believe. Can you look it up, Tico?
• 9:27
  I will look it up. I would trade Savio for him.
• 9:31
  You would really trade Savio for trip here, yeah.
• 9:34
  Yeah, they have had 12345 clean sheets.
• 9:40
  That's such a good. And three of them are three of
• 9:43
  them are zeros zeros. Zeros, zeros, yeah, the full
• 9:45
  yeah, the nil Nils I done. On the full side, our boy Kevin,
• 9:49
  well, my boy Kevin, he again didn't get the start but he came
• 9:53
  on at half time, he replaced Emil Schmidt, Rob and he scored
• 9:56
  seven points again. He he puts up points.
• 10:00
  Yeah. He has fantasy value, he just
• 10:03
  doesn't start. Imagine when he starts the thing
• 10:06
  in 12 plus minimum. Yeah, I I think he's like a
• 10:10
  Doku's fantasy player because Josh King didn't get the start.
• 10:13
  He came on and Miss Vedro got the start.
• 10:15
  He was basically at half time and I watched parts of this game
• 10:19
  because, you know, a better game came out later on in the day.
• 10:22
  But when he came on, man, he changes the pace just to
• 10:27
  dribbling everything. He's a very dynamic player and
• 10:30
  until I'm sure if he gets the regular start.
• 10:32
  So it's going to be a point where the the defenders kind of
• 10:35
  like focus on him more. So it's gonna be more difficult.
• 10:38
  But I think there's a lot of promise.
• 10:39
  You just kind of have to write the wave until he becomes a
• 10:42
  regular player, yeah. To me, seems like he's got the
• 10:45
  attributes just about like putting it together in Premier
• 10:47
  League and seeing some end products.
• 10:48
  He did a few things where you're going.
• 10:49
  Oh wow, like that was really nice.
• 10:51
  Just about not like make it happen.
• 10:53
  And. I didn't start this game.
• 10:55
  He did, he got the assist and I think we even mentioned it last
• 10:58
  week where Kevin is a player, even if he's on the bench, you
• 11:01
  feel comfortable starting because he comes on even in a
• 11:04
  small period of time he. Did you do that?
• 11:05
  Did you start him when he was on the bench?
• 11:07
  Absolutely not, no. I was just, you're telling.
• 11:10
  You're telling other people you're telling.
• 11:11
  Other people do that. But if it's like a last option,
• 11:16
  you don't feel terrible starting it.
• 11:17
  Yeah, I hear you. I want to, I wanted to shout out
• 11:21
  Murphy for having a good game after a really good Champions
• 11:24
  League game midweek too. I think he is.
• 11:28
  If you were still smart enough to pick him up off waivers, if
• 11:30
  you've held on to him this long, you're feeling pretty good
• 11:32
  because I think he's kind of like Enzo.
• 11:34
  You said it like Anthony Lang Angers are not happy right now.
• 11:38
  Like not they haven't been happy all season, but then they're now
• 11:39
  they're seeing Murphy come in, come in, and this feels like
• 11:42
  such a Murphy thing where he there's always, they always get
• 11:44
  someone to help to replace him. And then he always just like,
• 11:47
  place his way back into the into the squad.
• 11:49
  He's just like, he becomes important.
• 11:51
  And I, I think it's like at some point you got to show this guy
• 11:52
  some respect. Yeah, put some respect on his
• 11:55
  name, you know. Yeah, and if you have both,
• 11:57
  you're you're golden. Or do you even need a Langer at
• 12:00
  this point? Populous.
• 12:01
  Well, I might hold on to him just because you don't know, you
• 12:05
  know, it's a long season and if you, if you can lock in that
• 12:07
  right wing at on a team like Newcastle, it's not a bad thing.
• 12:10
  But yeah, at some point you might not.
• 12:13
  Just worry that Langer's gonna become a Cup player, you know
• 12:16
  what I mean? Like a Harvey Bond.
• 12:18
  There is a whist right around the corner as well.
• 12:21
  And Whist is right around the fucking corner.
• 12:23
  But would Whiston play up top or would he play off the left
• 12:27
  because Gordon's on the left? Yeah, I think he'd probably play
• 12:30
  up top. So didn't Gordon play on off the
• 12:33
  right like a couple of years ago?
• 12:35
  He can play across, he can play across the front line.
• 12:37
  He can play across, but the left is his.
• 12:38
  Left is yeah, because he want to cut inside all right.
• 12:41
  We'll talk about his next game. United for Brighton, 2/3 on the
• 12:45
  balance, what do you want? You want to give the line and I
• 12:48
  don't think that's the fan. Oh man, just just two more wins.
• 12:52
  Amrim. Get my haircut man.
• 12:54
  Guy looks horrible. That is such a funny.
• 12:57
  So it's funny that even like the announcers in the game, we're
• 13:00
  talking about it. Yeah, they did become so
• 13:02
  survival and Blenmo 33 points, two goals.
• 13:05
  That's three and two games. That's pretty amazing.
• 13:07
  Casamiro with one of his like worldly games, 23 points at five
• 13:12
  points goal and assists. Definitely not going to get that
• 13:15
  week in week out no. Cunya 20.25 points finally and
• 13:19
  Rich after as I traded him so it makes sense.
• 13:21
  It did take a couple games though from the score after I
• 13:24
  traded him, but still, yeah, score the author, I trade him.
• 13:26
  But he's like good the last two games, I would say, like even
• 13:28
  the lot like last game, even though he didn't score well, I
• 13:31
  thought he looked quite well, quite good.
• 13:33
  Welbeck with another goal off a free kick.
• 13:36
  Pretty, pretty amazing. Hey man, it's what's still in
• 13:40
  October, don't worry. November, December, on their way
• 13:43
  and he won't be starting. I don't I I much feel like he's
• 13:46
  better now than he's ever been, no.
• 13:49
  Fuck, go, fuck off. It is he available in our
• 13:53
  league? Is this?
• 13:55
  I don't think so. The fantasy draft outlook look
• 13:59
  like for Manchester United when we were talking, people were
• 14:01
  projecting the players because this these are the type of games
• 14:05
  that you want them to have with M1 MO 33 Kunya Tony Bruno 17
• 14:10
  Sisla 12 Luke shot 16. Obviously the in this game, the
• 14:14
  odd man I was Ama Diallo, who only had three points, but even
• 14:18
  I was I went through like the entire the whole season.
• 14:21
  Last game week was also again when three players scored in
• 14:23
  double digits. Nothing otherworldly like this
• 14:26
  week, but I think this is what the people imagined when they
• 14:30
  looked at like the drafting like in the first two rounds.
• 14:33
  Yeah, totally. Not going to take anything away
• 14:35
  from those players. Brian's a good freaking team and
• 14:38
  then they've got they've got a feast next week against Forest
• 14:42
  so. Well, knowing that like this,
• 14:46
  this is just such a banana peel for them, you know?
• 14:49
  Yeah, as well. I was thinking and Forest is
• 14:50
  like one of their rival teams, so we'll see about it.
• 14:53
  So I I think anytime you would expect moving forward as at
• 14:57
  least three out of the four to have good games and the occasion
• 15:00
  of people like having monster games.
• 15:01
  I don't know if you can expect it, but I think that's what
• 15:03
  you're hoping for. And I also think that like that,
• 15:05
  but the thing it's the thing Tico is that what's tough is
• 15:08
  that they were drafted with the expectation that that's how it's
• 15:10
  gonna be. And so like, and that's a pretty
• 15:14
  crazy expectation. Like we we've seen it what, in
• 15:16
  two games in a row now, but like.
• 15:18
  Two games in a row, yeah. Yeah, but like it'll be
• 15:20
  interesting to see like if in the next if, if they do that for
• 15:23
  another three games, then we can start going, oh wow, like these
• 15:25
  guys are starting and they go. At Forest and have a few and
• 15:29
  then who they go after that, but they just got beat Forest and
• 15:34
  then try to beat Tom and they got their five game-winning
• 15:36
  streak. That guy can get his haircut,
• 15:37
  but. Yeah, but.
• 15:40
  It's also, I think it comes off as like the problem with United
• 15:43
  is they weren't scoring goals and the reason the last two
• 15:45
  weeks they played well is because they scored goals.
• 15:47
  So essentially it's simple as that.
• 15:49
  Score goals they'll produce. Score goals, score goals wins.
• 15:54
  OK, last thing about this game if if they do win five in a row,
• 15:58
  is that guy, do you think that they should like have that guy
• 16:01
  and get his hair cut like in the at the stadium?
• 16:03
  Like in the next game? What like or he should be they
• 16:06
  should get him a ticket to the game and right after the game if
• 16:09
  they win it, have him like bring him out on a Barber chair.
• 16:13
  Who gives him the haircut? Bruno.
• 16:16
  Bruno, yeah, just give him some Clippers.
• 16:18
  He's. He's going to use his teeth all.
• 16:21
  Right, next game, Brentford 3, Liverpool 2.
• 16:23
  This is a shocker, huh? It was a big shocker.
• 16:27
  I mean, the thing that keeps happening is Liverpool keeps
• 16:29
  going down early. I think it's like what, the 4th
• 16:31
  or 5th game in a row where they can see it in the 1st 15
• 16:33
  minutes. But we that just sets the tone,
• 16:35
  you know? Yeah, and I think we said this
• 16:37
  lot last season, they were showing defensive like woes, You
• 16:40
  know, I mean, I know they won, but they were showing defensive
• 16:43
  woes near the end of the season. Now it's just falling through.
• 16:47
  I think Van Dyke, I don't think he's over.
• 16:49
  I think they just got to find a way.
• 16:51
  I think it's honestly, I think it's Carcass and Frimpong
• 16:54
  messing up that balance. That's why I think.
• 16:56
  I think that, I think the midfield balance, I think the
• 16:59
  attacking balance, I think everything is a little off.
• 17:01
  You know, it's like there's so it's been so much turnover in
• 17:04
  that team in every single phase of the game.
• 17:07
  If if you're already slow and we always used to say this is a
• 17:11
  good problem to have, but when, when do you just start thinking,
• 17:15
  OK, let me just stick. I could take it off Tom, it was
• 17:18
  solo on the right. What really did?
• 17:20
  And Gapo on the left. That's I'm pretty sure that was
• 17:22
  the lineup, wasn't it? Yeah, there was words instead of
• 17:24
  Gakko this week. No, no, it was Gakko that was
• 17:27
  the. Words, words in the 10, it was
• 17:29
  that that was the lineup. Was that the lineup?
• 17:31
  Yeah. He didn't have Isaac up front.
• 17:34
  No, he's not gonna play because Isaac injured himself.
• 17:38
  Actually, I forgot to mention that on purpose.
• 17:41
  Yeah, I, I, I feel like there's issues there cuz I don't think,
• 17:46
  I don't think Ekatika presses the same.
• 17:48
  I just don't think the pressing from the front is as good.
• 17:51
  And then the midfield, there's just not the same players there.
• 17:56
  And then, you know, with words in there, it's just not the same
• 17:58
  balance that it had been in the past.
• 18:00
  And then the defense, obviously we talked, you talked about that
• 18:02
  with cricket guys, people are really giving him a hard time.
• 18:05
  Some of the highlight guys slow to slide with 22 points, Sade
• 18:08
  with 23. Dancer had an amazing assist, he
• 18:10
  was in the teens. Otara 22.5.
• 18:13
  Some big scores from his skin. Do you think there's people that
• 18:17
  that benched their rent for assets against Liverpool who are
• 18:19
  pissed? I bet you, but you're saying
• 18:21
  bench? From against me, Keith.
• 18:22
  Do you want to hear most all the stat that I.
• 18:25
  Just that he scored a goal. That's the only shot.
• 18:27
  I mean, now what is it? What is it?
• 18:30
  So he has three goals this year, three individual games.
• 18:35
  He still doesn't have a brace and the three goals that he
• 18:38
  scored, he has 19 points the first game and then 12.2, five,
• 18:42
  11.25. Yeah, it's not been great.
• 18:44
  Which are very low if you scored a goal for most salvage.
• 18:46
  I mean I mean he scored that goal to salvage like a like a
• 18:49
  medium shitty. Performance.
• 18:51
  But that was a bad performance. He was dispossessed five times,
• 18:55
  so last year, although last year he had, I don't know, like 15
• 18:59
  games or so where he scored at least one goal.
• 19:01
  And the game that he scored one goal, the lowest scoring total
• 19:04
  was 13 points. Yeah, it's it's.
• 19:06
  Been about manager, man. It is just not great right now,
• 19:10
  I think we can all agree. I'll give you You want to trade
• 19:13
  him or are you still holding out to?
• 19:14
  Him I would trade him, but I I think I would mean more than
• 19:17
  what he's currently worth. I'll give you Charlison for him.
• 19:20
  That's what I mean. Like, I'm not like I'm not going
• 19:22
  to at that point, I'll just suck it out.
• 19:24
  Because at the end of the day, Javi Simmons, I mean at the end
• 19:27
  of the. Day where he where's he ranked
• 19:28
  in total points low No, I don't think it's that's not.
• 19:32
  Even until 20, mate. He's 43rd Oh my God, total
• 19:37
  points. Terrible.
• 19:38
  First round value and he's going 4th.
• 19:40
  Round. Yeah, it's pretty bad actually.
• 19:42
  So Richardson, I think, has just as many points as he.
• 19:45
  Does, I mean, he's sitting around like, well, Enzo
• 19:47
  Fernandez is what, Anthony? Is ranked higher.
• 19:52
  There are. League players rank a lot of
• 19:53
  there's a lot of players. Ukulele.
• 19:56
  Sean Sean Link Longstaff, James Garner.
• 19:58
  Hey, you could just. Pick up a better option.
• 20:01
  Joe Roden after waivers. Oh yeah, but.
• 20:04
  You guys, you know, you know how it goes.
• 20:06
  This is a long, this is a campaign.
• 20:08
  He can see, he come. Alive too man, he's going to be
• 20:11
  gone for like a month. I'll give you my goalkeeper for
• 20:14
  him. That's why that's why I'm going
• 20:15
  to pick up well back so I can get that extra little backup
• 20:19
  attacking, attacking backup. You don't be funny if Liverpool
• 20:22
  go on a tear once he goes to AFCON.
• 20:25
  Oh man, I didn't want to know. Please, please know that.
• 20:27
  'D be. Hilarious man.
• 20:28
  Then you just know he's going in January, huh?
• 20:30
  Ecka TK plays off the right fucking jackpot on the left is
• 20:34
  like up top and was all of a sudden can score goals and guess
• 20:37
  it I. Took every day.
• 20:38
  Fuck, let's talk. Briefly about Brentford, I think
• 20:43
  they've been a little bit of surprise recently.
• 20:44
  They've been winning a few games.
• 20:46
  It's pretty impressive. Yeah, they're.
• 20:49
  Doing it with that set piece, coach.
• 20:51
  Yeah, Keith Andrews. Mm Hmm.
• 20:54
  I think that he just, it's very direct and it's very fun and
• 20:57
  like Thiago got a goal as well, which is worth talking about.
• 21:01
  I mean, that whole frontline did well today.
• 21:03
  Well, look, they've won. They've won three out of their
• 21:06
  last four games and the one they lost was man C1 nil, you know
• 21:10
  what I mean? Yeah, they're, I mean, they're
• 21:12
  that's, that's pretty darn good. I mean, I would take out of
• 21:15
  Chelsea. I mean, I wish we were winning
• 21:17
  three out of our last four. Where are you guys in the league
• 21:19
  right now? You know you guys on that far
• 21:21
  off the league, right? No, I'm kind of, I'm being a
• 21:23
  little sarcastic, but I'm just saying that like, Branford's
• 21:25
  looking great and they're doing it and they're doing it in a
• 21:27
  unique, a unique way, which is cool too. 567 eights.
• 21:31
  Very 8 Chelsea's eights, yeah. I don't see.
• 21:33
  But again, would you see Branford?
• 21:35
  I don't think he's. Right, right.
• 21:37
  Sustainable. I think Branford is maybe the
• 21:40
  most sustainable thing on the planet.
• 21:41
  No Bournemouth at the moment. Looks as I think Bournemouth OK,
• 21:46
  OK. I think Brentford is sustainable
• 21:48
  because Brentford's strategy is to be incredibly direct and be
• 21:51
  like just knocking around like like a lot of a lot of just very
• 21:55
  direct play like we you lock it in defensively, then you you
• 21:58
  spring quickly and be direct. Bournemouth is so the press is
• 22:01
  so intense. I worry from Bournemouth that as
• 22:04
  as the season goes on, they're going to get tired.
• 22:06
  It's going to be harder and harder to keep that high
• 22:07
  intensity up. The fact Bournemouth is amazing.
• 22:10
  Are they in? No.
• 22:14
  Oh yes, they are. You know who's in fourth?
• 22:17
  Sunderland. Fucking crazy.
• 22:19
  You're welcome Sunderland. OK, Speaking of Bournemouth 240,
• 22:22
  that was probably just a very not much to talk about, right?
• 22:26
  Like we knew this was coming. Adrian Shuford managed to get 21
• 22:29
  points, which is pretty darn good.
• 22:31
  Tavern A scored off a corner score 20.5 Simenio 7.5 points.
• 22:38
  Quite gay for him. They didn't need him.
• 22:39
  They didn't need him, but if you looked at his last couple games
• 22:42
  like he hasn't, he hasn't had to do it.
• 22:46
  Like honestly, croupy. We put on the waivers.
• 22:48
  He scored a nice goal from outside the box bottom left and
• 22:52
  he looked good then looked like he wanted the ball too much.
• 22:55
  But when he got it, he was running at defenders.
• 22:57
  So he's going to get you some dribble completions, maybe some
• 23:00
  shots on goal. Do you think that he keeps Evan
• 23:04
  Nelson out of the team when Evan comes back healthy?
• 23:06
  I think Evan Nelson comes back and they slowly slide him back
• 23:09
  in, but he'll get started spot back do.
• 23:11
  You think so? I think so. 319 He's a kid.
• 23:15
  Yeah, true. Unless he starts banging and go
• 23:17
  off the goal. I mean, he scored three and two.
• 23:20
  That's that's true. But as if he does it
• 23:23
  continuously, then yeah, he'll he'll stay in.
• 23:25
  But if he goes on A-23 game where he doesn't score, everyone
• 23:28
  else is dropping back in. The highest scoring Tottenham
• 23:33
  Forest player was Neca Williams with 7.5 points.
• 23:37
  Pretty rough how? Long does Deutsch have?
• 23:39
  He has time. Yeah, well, we thought that
• 23:42
  about Anne. She had 39 days so give.
• 23:44
  Me 3 days, that was way, way less shocking than Daish.
• 23:48
  Daish is going to have some time.
• 23:49
  That was also I don't think Daish really had a lot of time
• 23:51
  to instill his ideas into the team.
• 23:54
  So I think he'll have time. So again, next next game,
• 23:57
  Arsenal won. Just I'll try.
• 23:58
  Real quick on this, I've been on CHA GPT trying to figure out
• 24:01
  what's the most managers a single team has had in an EPL
• 24:03
  season and the maximum known as 3.
• 24:06
  So if Palace go through another managerial change, that will be
• 24:10
  in your record. It'd be historic, yeah.
• 24:13
  Love that next game. Arsenal won Palace 0.
• 24:16
  Eze scores in his return. Banger.
• 24:20
  It says on a set piece dot dot dot sort of.
• 24:22
  I mean, it was what? The set piece bounced out and it
• 24:24
  deflected and he just hit it, Yeah.
• 24:26
  It was a nice finish. Kind of, yeah.
• 24:28
  Set piece, Set piece esque. Yeah.
• 24:31
  Rice 21.75 points, pallets, defenders still scored well.
• 24:36
  Are we talking about the rice? Why?
• 24:39
  Did he get the assist on that? He shouldn't have got the
• 24:41
  assist. He got an assist on that.
• 24:43
  Because it bounced off an offender.
• 24:45
  Is a block like AI? Think it was Gabrielle or
• 24:48
  something. It came off the shoulder or
• 24:51
  somebody. Even if it didn't, it came off
• 24:53
  another player should have been assist is the second phase of
• 24:55
  play. He shouldn't have got the.
• 24:56
  Assist. You're so lucky it was a blah
• 24:58
  loss and it wasn't like a six point loss I would have.
• 25:01
  Raised hell. I mean, it's you're acting like
• 25:04
  I make that because you're acting like I'm the one that
• 25:05
  sounds like. Oh yeah, assist.
• 25:07
  Oh yeah, assist for this one. I'm going to give him an assist,
• 25:10
  Yeah. Piece of shit, that's exactly
• 25:12
  what you do. No, Keith would never do that.
• 25:15
  Keith, the Great Commissioner. Thanks, Muniz with a with a
• 25:21
  pretty soft game 3.5, but Lacroix gay he did OK Chris
• 25:25
  Richards a little disappointing. Yeah, I mean, not much else to
• 25:28
  talk about here. It was, it was, it was a
• 25:29
  different game. Perfectly honest, did you?
• 25:31
  Watch it. Yeah, they're boring as hell are
• 25:33
  so yeah, I told you they're the arsenals, the ventures.
• 25:36
  They just sucked the lifeout of games and make did you guys.
• 25:38
  You, you were right. You were freaking right from
• 25:40
  last week. You're right.
• 25:41
  Did you guys see Artetas quote about set pieces?
• 25:44
  No, I don't. I want to know.
• 25:46
  It's like I don't see football as open play and said peace.
• 25:48
  I see the game in a different way.
• 25:50
  Oh my God, he's such a visionary.
• 25:52
  He sees the game differently than everyone else.
• 25:55
  We can hit that I really don't like.
• 25:56
  Otesla I hate that guy. I.
• 25:57
  Just want to punch his face, little leg ahead.
• 26:00
  OK, with California Fioria, I think Lewis Kelly might be an
• 26:04
  interesting play. I don't have him on waivers but
• 26:06
  I'm just calling it. Out right now, dude.
• 26:09
  That defense right now. Three goals only let in.
• 26:13
  I think she's, like, nearly guaranteed, yeah.
• 26:16
  And why? Yeah, that's what I mean, I
• 26:18
  think. I think that's why MLS is kind
• 26:19
  of interesting. Yeah.
• 26:22
  All right, next hand, Villa one, City 0.
• 26:24
  Villa's a good team. I mean, they look.
• 26:26
  Good this game. Yeah, they've they've looked
• 26:28
  good all. Right, they'll play in the shit
• 26:30
  housery too. I fucking loved it.
• 26:33
  Once they got that goal, it was kind of that they just, that's
• 26:35
  what they're doing. So, you know, like they're he
• 26:37
  was. On a rumor how to make a couple
• 26:38
  good saves too though. He did.
• 26:40
  You are correct, yeah. I'm kind of happy City loss to
• 26:44
  be honest, even though it messed up our parlay because like when
• 26:47
  they lost to know I came on here and I was talking shit about
• 26:49
  like, oh, this team can't win it in anything and they want like
• 26:51
  four in a row. I know they did.
• 26:52
  I was thinking. Yeah, yeah.
• 26:54
  So I was like, yeah, yeah, wait to come.
• 26:56
  Back it was Pep rotating again man, Like I took out Doku, put
• 27:00
  in Bob. I don't think Doku played last
• 27:03
  week too. He didn't start.
• 27:05
  OK, well how's how's this Savio? You had a couple of one point
• 27:08
  starts and then we got that banger 19 or last week and then
• 27:11
  he's back to that one point starts.
• 27:13
  He didn't have to he because he never got the pool.
• 27:15
  He doesn't. He doesn't.
• 27:16
  Yeah, I'm thinking about Tikka. I'm I blame you now at Kentikka.
• 27:20
  I don't like, I don't think what if fought in school because he
• 27:23
  was. Playing quite deep well he
• 27:25
  scored 15.5. Very strong.
• 27:27
  He was playing in a deeper role, like he was trying to be more of
• 27:30
  a creator. Reindeer Games was playing the
• 27:34
  fucking Rhodri role. Fucking prick.
• 27:38
  Sorry about Ryan at Nori again is he scored negative -2.75
• 27:42
  points. Yeah, and I lost by .75.
• 27:44
  Oh my God, he's got a fucking yellow card like an idiot.
• 27:47
  He didn't need that yellow card. But he would have, he would have
• 27:49
  had. He would have had -7 seven .75
• 27:52
  then. Yeah, but I still would have won
• 27:54
  even. If he didn't get the yellow, you
• 27:55
  would have lost because you lost my no.
• 27:57
  I would have won. He said you lost by .75.
• 28:00
  Yeah. Oh, OK.
• 28:01
  You would have won. Yeah, OK.
• 28:02
  Yeah, that's right. Thanks.
• 28:05
  Thanks for that, Keith. Dispossessed twice, yellow card
• 28:08
  one clearance. That's that's the only stats.
• 28:11
  Well. I mean, not to.
• 28:14
  I told you this guy shouldn't be.
• 28:16
  He's not a fantasy asset, shouldn't play.
• 28:18
  It but look at the rest of his games Tigo you've.
• 28:21
  Got the scores aren't bad. You obviously have that feel it
• 28:24
  bangers in the season and then he's zero, then it's 6613697 and
• 28:28
  then it's negative to what's 05 very cool.
• 28:30
  I think he's he's, he's a bench. She's on your bench.
• 28:34
  Yeah, he's a bench. I mean, if if Harvey Simmons or
• 28:38
  him, obviously you go him. Yeah, I should.
• 28:41
  I did and I did. Did.
• 28:43
  You bench Harvey Simmons. Yeah, I benched Harvey Simmons
• 28:46
  this week. Yeah.
• 28:47
  Wait, so you would have won if you played Harvey Simmons?
• 28:50
  He would have won, of course. No, I still would have lost my
• 28:52
  .5 because you. Oh yeah, let's we'll get there
• 28:57
  in a minute. Maddie Cash scored a banger 21.5
• 29:00
  points. Such a good goal.
• 29:03
  How did the rest of the team score though that other than
• 29:05
  Maddie Cash? I'm not sure.
• 29:07
  Watkins had a couple of opportunities, but nothing
• 29:11
  really there. I think McGinn, I don't think
• 29:14
  fantasy value McGinn, my goal points, but he was playing
• 29:16
  really well too. I thought the same thing and but
• 29:18
  unfortunately it was he only had a 2.5 point game.
• 29:21
  But yeah, and I thought that I had that same thought.
• 29:23
  Only the defenders scored well because of the clean sheet and
• 29:26
  then Bondia because of the assist.
• 29:29
  Yeah. All right.
• 29:31
  Next game, Wolves 2, Burnley 3. This is probably the game of the
• 29:33
  week. Just from like intensity.
• 29:35
  Burnley went up 2O with from that guy.
• 29:37
  Fleming scored two goals. That first goal was amazing.
• 29:39
  Did you see the first goal? Like taking it off the volley
• 29:43
  like that? Wow.
• 29:45
  And then he scored again. He's just like he wanted it more
• 29:47
  than the Wolves defender and the Wolves come back and score 2.
• 29:50
  And then at the and then Wolves had a lot of really good chances
• 29:52
  after they tied it up to win it. But then at the death, early
• 29:56
  scores and now we're here. Now Fleming is a very
• 30:00
  interesting player in position. Do we do we like him?
• 30:04
  Is he someone that you guys are going to be potentially going
• 30:09
  for? No, not yet.
• 30:12
  You could take a risk, you know. I should, because I need a
• 30:15
  fucking forward. I should.
• 30:16
  He's a man. Oh, sorry then no, I don't want
• 30:19
  him. I think the I think the biggest
• 30:22
  knock against him to be honest, is that he's playing Arsenal
• 30:24
  next. Yeah, and they don't let him
• 30:26
  goals. But he's like he's 27.
• 30:29
  He's in the primary his career he's I think he scored like 16.
• 30:33
  We'll talk about him in wave. He's on waivers.
• 30:35
  But yeah, he scored like 16 goals in the championship last
• 30:37
  year. See, it's interesting.
• 30:39
  I just don't think like, I don't know.
• 30:41
  I, I, it's hard to get excited about someone who's 27 in the
• 30:47
  sense that it feels like there's been probably a lot of scouting
• 30:49
  done on him and like that he wasn't quite Premier League
• 30:52
  ready any when he was younger, but doesn't mean that he can't
• 30:56
  all of a sudden develop. Some people age later, you know,
• 30:59
  mature later in their careers and body become elite players.
• 31:03
  Yeah, totally. But I, I mean, but watching him,
• 31:05
  I was like, oh, I like this guy. Like I when I first saw him, the
• 31:08
  way he was moving. So I'm like, oh, this is like an
• 31:09
  amazing like 23 year old. You know, he had that like, kind
• 31:12
  of like work hard attitude, but yeah.
• 31:15
  Well, the best player on Berlin is Harmon.
• 31:18
  I think he's still under 50% owned.
• 31:21
  Is he? Uh huh. 47% that's a great add
• 31:25
  to waivers. Let's see what's his score is
• 31:29
  looking like. The 19 point
• 31:31
  259.759.57.7514.7513.25 and then a tour, then a nine and then a
• 31:37
  three-year. Yeah, wow, he's great.
• 31:42
  Yeah. Yeah, little rare combo like
• 31:46
  defensive attack, you know. Diamond in the rough, man.
• 31:48
  I think he's the diamond in the rough.
• 31:50
  Yeah, last note, Wolves can't catch a win, man, I they, I feel
• 31:54
  like they've done enough to win a game, but they just haven't,
• 31:56
  huh? Pretty rough.
• 31:57
  I think you said it, Keith. We thought they, they could
• 32:00
  have, they could have stolen at the end.
• 32:01
  But yeah, they end up being barely.
• 32:04
  Yeah, rough. You need a bit of luck, man.
• 32:06
  You need a bit of luck sometimes and they ain't got none of it.
• 32:09
  Yeah, they're just, they're just, it's been dismal, all
• 32:11
  right. Last game of the week, Everton
• 32:13
  0, Tottenham 3. Then then 35.75 points.
• 32:17
  Two goals is now three goals on the pram.
• 32:21
  Petra Poro with 19.25 points. He had one of the assists.
• 32:24
  Danzo 17.75 points, 2% owned. Yeah, unless he's on waivers for
• 32:29
  the same reason. And so a good pick up until
• 32:31
  Romero returns from run injury. You know Danzos had 19
• 32:34
  clearances in. That game. 19 I think that's, I
• 32:39
  think it's a record. He doesn't fuck around, man.
• 32:41
  He just knocks it out. But I think we I think if you
• 32:45
  mentioned this beginning the season with Thomas Frank, the
• 32:48
  Senate was a Senate back that always just scored.
• 32:50
  But it looks like Romero Van Event or whoever it is, they
• 32:54
  just put off frigging numbers. The clinic she is a nice bonus
• 32:57
  but they put on numbers. Yeah, they've been, they've been
• 32:59
  doing well, man. Van de Van, that, that that's
• 33:03
  just so devastating. I can't believe that I had to
• 33:06
  play against him. He's our top goal scorer.
• 33:08
  He's got five goals. Does he really in all
• 33:11
  competitions? And no competitions.
• 33:13
  In all competitions, yeah. Xavi Simmons with a one point
• 33:17
  fiver. That's pretty rough.
• 33:20
  Oh, you know what? If I had started him, I would
• 33:21
  have won you. Would have won, yeah.
• 33:23
  If you didn't play anyone, if you just play the reindeer
• 33:25
  games, you would have also won. No, I that's a legal lineup, you
• 33:29
  can't do that. You can you could play with one
• 33:31
  less person you. Can play with us, you can't play
• 33:33
  with more. Yeah, idiot.
• 33:36
  OK, well, that's a legal. Lineup.
• 33:37
  I don't know, man, I don't we I'm sorry about it right now.
• 33:39
  Zombies, Randall Kol Moani's got the star too, which was
• 33:42
  interesting. He didn't look particularly
• 33:43
  great. Got no touches on the ball bro
• 33:47
  It's horrible. Like he had one good pass to
• 33:50
  Simmons and then Simmons fucked it all up.
• 33:53
  I saw that. I thought that was a great pass
• 33:54
  that as soon as he didn't hit that first time, huh, he was
• 33:56
  trying. To pass it out to the left.
• 33:58
  Try to take an extra touch to the box.
• 33:59
  Yeah, maybe she was a better player.
• 34:01
  Zabi Simmons, what are we doing with him?
• 34:03
  I mean, Tiko, I know you have your really snide thing, but I
• 34:05
  think we we can we can talk about this and all earnestness.
• 34:07
  Like is he a drop? No, it's the absolutely.
• 34:10
  He's a drop. What are you talking about?
• 34:11
  He's in. He's not a drop.
• 34:13
  You could give him time. It's how much time, OK?
• 34:16
  How much time are you going to give him?
• 34:18
  I think, I think giving a player more than five weeks is fair for
• 34:21
  his Pedic, someone with his pedigree.
• 34:23
  He's not, he's not just some like scrub off waivers.
• 34:26
  He's like, he's one of the most like, highly touted, like young
• 34:29
  players in the world. When was he highly touted?
• 34:32
  He's been Xavier Simmons has been highly touted.
• 34:34
  Don't do it, Keith. Don't.
• 34:35
  Don't do it. He's been highly touted for a
• 34:37
  long period of time and he's never been able to crack any top
• 34:40
  teams. He had amazing competition.
• 34:42
  Whatever, if you're good enough, you'll make it.
• 34:45
  He's had opportunity, he's just never been able to crack the
• 34:47
  line up. I.
• 34:47
  Don't know if he's really had that much opportunity.
• 34:49
  He went to the G in the, in the in the, in the like the.
• 34:52
  He looked pissed off though in that game because he got taken
• 34:55
  off early. Yeah, I mean you're definitely
• 34:58
  not starting him anytime soon. I think.
• 34:59
  I think the rub with him is that it's pot.
• 35:02
  It's there's a likelihood there's a potential that he will
• 35:05
  come good or at least get into a better, a better space.
• 35:08
  And it would really suck to drop him and then have him go off.
• 35:12
  You know, he started because you invested and you probably
• 35:15
  invested a good amount of something in a fab or waiver
• 35:17
  priority or something, you know. He started five games and
• 35:21
  outside of the game where he hit the corner assists 11 1/2
• 35:24
  points, he's never cracked 6 points.
• 35:25
  Yes, I get it. No, you're told the points are
• 35:27
  not there. OK, so if you're saying giving
• 35:29
  him enough time, what is enough time?
• 35:32
  And and also like I haven't watched, obviously I haven't
• 35:35
  watched as many games as Enzo has, but the I think maybe 2 1/2
• 35:38
  games I watched as Simmons play, just even the way he plays, it
• 35:42
  doesn't seem like he's going to generate his fantasy points.
• 35:45
  It's not like when you see Kevin play a Saval play, you see some
• 35:49
  players play, they take on dribbles, successful cross, all
• 35:51
  that stuff. I don't the two games again,
• 35:53
  I've seen Simmons and it was probably the first two games he
• 35:55
  was on top of him. So I'm assuming he's better now,
• 35:58
  but it just doesn't seem like he's going to generate any
• 36:01
  points. The guy has only one shot on
• 36:02
  goal. OK, I'm giving him until
• 36:05
  Christmas. Honeymoon games at Christmas.
• 36:08
  It's like. 6 maybe? Tico, do you own him?
• 36:12
  But we both do. So that's what Tiga loves this,
• 36:15
  yeah. No, don't worry.
• 36:17
  No, no, don't worry about it. I'm sorry.
• 36:19
  This isn't about, we don't talk about the players we own.
• 36:22
  This is about, we don't talk about those we, we talk about,
• 36:25
  give advice. We.
• 36:25
  Want to be the recap for next week?
• 36:29
  Because I don't. Even hear his rent no more
• 36:30
  because now it's just a personal rent just like some.
• 36:32
  Personal dude. I don't know.
• 36:33
  I actually think I, I think it's, it's valuable because it's
• 36:36
  a tough, it's a tough situation. It's not personal, you guys.
• 36:38
  Obviously you guys have a bias. We've already, we've already
• 36:41
  rebuttaled, gone back. You're just like some of some
• 36:43
  people I, I argue with at work, just go over and over and over
• 36:46
  and for the same thing I've already said, Yeah, I hear you.
• 36:48
  But I'm going to give them more time.
• 36:50
  You don't. I'm gonna give more time to I'm.
• 36:52
  Gonna give more time because I see I spend more.
• 36:54
  Time, it's like some cost policy a little bit, but there's a
• 36:56
  quick, there's a time where you have to cut your losses.
• 36:58
  And I think for me that time is like OK, December.
• 37:02
  So Keith, so for example, let's say like obviously Enzo, for
• 37:05
  him, it's harder for him to cut because he gave up 100 fab.
• 37:08
  He gave up all this fab budget, so he's not gonna drop him.
• 37:11
  But for you, you didn't give up anything.
• 37:14
  Why? Labor priority.
• 37:16
  But yeah, all right. Which is very rotational.
• 37:17
  It's not that big of a deal. So like for you should be easier
• 37:21
  to cut. And I I get what you're saying.
• 37:23
  You don't want to let someone go on like they go up and have be
• 37:25
  amazing like Cole Palmer like a couple of years ago.
• 37:27
  But at the like, you see, I mean, you, you see it.
• 37:30
  You see it. Yeah.
• 37:31
  I, I think I just, I just need to wait a little bit longer.
• 37:34
  I need like for my own sanity. Just agree with this because we
• 37:38
  don't agree with him. He's got he's going to go off.
• 37:39
  Again, no, no, we're I think we're we're we're at a point
• 37:42
  where we can move on from this. Let's go to waivers.
• 37:43
  First one on waivers. Zion Fleming, we just talked
• 37:47
  about him 2% Dutch from Burnley 27 was decent in the
• 37:51
  Championship with 16 ish goals involvements.
• 37:53
  If he locks in a starting spot, he could be worth picking up.
• 37:56
  I don't expect that level of output like again and also
• 37:59
  especially next week for his Arsenal.
• 38:02
  No. So who's that game offwards?
• 38:05
  That's a good question. Nice to have maybe an early pick
• 38:08
  up and then stash him for that week if he's a good.
• 38:09
  Match and hopes it's a good match up.
• 38:13
  It's a good match up. The way you said it, it sounded
• 38:17
  like he's 2% Dutch 2. Percent 2% Dutch.
• 38:24
  I feel like everyone's 2% Dutch. I'm actually just got my
• 38:27
  ancestry and me today, so I'm going to find out where the hell
• 38:30
  I'm from. Yeah, 100% Dick.
• 38:34
  Right here dude. Whoa, whoa, OK guys, next one
• 38:38
  Brendan Aronson 38% own mid Aronson rewarded those of who
• 38:42
  saw his potential last week and listened to us on the pod first
• 38:46
  goal. But it was also funny because it
• 38:47
  was his first goal in the Premier League since like August
• 38:49
  of 2022. God damn.
• 38:51
  Because he was in the championship, but so, yeah,
• 38:53
  funny. But when when he started the
• 38:55
  season, he seems to generate points.
• 38:57
  So you know, almost all the ghosts.
• 39:00
  And so I honestly, my biggest concern with him was because of
• 39:04
  his lack of a goal involvement, that if he would continue to be
• 39:06
  a starter on the team because he's not one of their first
• 39:09
  choice. He's not one of their first
• 39:10
  choice attackers, you know, but there's been some injuries.
• 39:13
  So now he's starting. But he got that goal.
• 39:17
  Yeah. But the fact that he got that
• 39:18
  goal, I think he's going to be starting for a while.
• 39:20
  And I think it's like with his floor, it's pretty good, 38%
• 39:25
  out. Not bad, Coca-Cola.
• 39:28
  Next one, Sasha Lukic, we talked about him a little bit and 23%
• 39:30
  owned men. He's more of a four player.
• 39:33
  Like, you know, he's like he doesn't have like these high,
• 39:34
  high ceilings. I mean, like he scored eighteen
• 39:36
  last week. That's, you know, you're not
• 39:38
  expecting that all the time. I think he has at least two
• 39:40
  goals this season though. Yeah.
• 39:41
  But there's a level of like just he's one of those guys.
• 39:44
  I think in especially in like tougher leagues where the the
• 39:46
  waivers really waivers are really, really competitive.
• 39:48
  I think he might still be available for a lot of people,
• 39:51
  especially coming off that injury.
• 39:52
  A lot of people probably had to drop him next.
• 39:54
  Kevin Danzo, we just talked about him too.
• 39:56
  OK, we kind of covered all these guys in just in the flow of it.
• 39:58
  But Tottenham, I think it all comes down to Romero's remains
• 40:01
  out. He seems like a solid shot he
• 40:03
  has that. He had that record 19
• 40:04
  clearances, which is insane. Like Tanzo's points to point,
• 40:08
  like Thomas Frank defenders. It seems like there's always one
• 40:11
  that scores really, really well from a defensive standpoint.
• 40:14
  Cinerbacks, Cinerbacks last one. Okafor he has had some pretty
• 40:18
  good scores recently, 10/13, 7:17 those last four games.
• 40:25
  You know, he, I think he got the, he got the fan tracks
• 40:27
  assists in this last one. I mean, I think there's just,
• 40:30
  there's worse places you could go than you're looking for,
• 40:33
  especially for a forward. Like forward's such a tough
• 40:35
  position. And you know, we talked about
• 40:37
  they play Leeds next and then after that it's Forest.
• 40:40
  So there's like 2 games where there's some potential there.
• 40:45
  And I really liked your shout too for that defender from
• 40:48
  Burnley. Hollman.
• 40:50
  Hartman, I think that's a really good child, I think because I
• 40:52
  think people are probably sleeping on him just because
• 40:54
  he's so not well known. Yeah, You know, he's their
• 40:57
  second highest scoring PL. Is he their second highest
• 40:59
  scoring player total? Isn't he there first?
• 41:03
  He might be. No, Aunt Jane Anthony is in the
• 41:05
  Hartman. He has 90, but he's only two
• 41:06
  points behind, so I think that's a pretty good one.
• 41:09
  I might be looking at that one to be honest with you.
• 41:11
  I think he's owned in both our leagues mate.
• 41:14
  He might be, yeah. No, I know.
• 41:16
  I have him in one league and I think I think your your buddy.
• 41:20
  If your little fancy buddy then he's going on the other one.
• 41:24
  I don't know about little fantasy buddy.
• 41:26
  Yes, but. You know he's the one that you
• 41:29
  know who he is. We don't say he's lame, but you
• 41:31
  know who he is all. Right, Tiny just hummers for the
• 41:33
  second time and tied the game. Wow, let's go, Dodgers.
• 41:38
  No, no, Keith, you don't get to say that.
• 41:40
  You don't get to say. Wear my hat.
• 41:41
  Take off the hat. Wear my Padre.
• 41:44
  You're a Padre. I'm a I'm a Padres friend of the
• 41:46
  Padres are out and then I'm a Dodger strip.
• 41:49
  That's horrible. That's like, I don't care until
• 41:53
  they don't care about this Barcelona fan.
• 41:55
  I do not care. Enough.
• 41:58
  But you would never say that, Tico.
• 41:59
  I know that, but that's what I'm trying to say.
• 42:02
  Yeah, that's like me saying I like Tottenham all, all season
• 42:05
  until Arsenal goes above us and I'm an Arsenal fan.
• 42:07
  I would never play, you say. That I bless you.
• 42:09
  You obviously like it. Let's let's wrap this up.
• 42:11
  We're going to talk about game week 10.
• 42:13
  Let's going to go through some of these bragging leads.
• 42:15
  We talked about some of those assets, the Aaronson's and the
• 42:18
  Okafor's. Brighton has been kind of
• 42:19
  interesting. I mean, Welbeck's on a tear.
• 42:21
  I think Welbeck is probably going to get started.
• 42:23
  Minta's been great. Obviously he got, he got like a
• 42:25
  fan tracks assists, which is funny, but he got because he got
• 42:29
  fouled and then Welbeck scored the the free kick from it and he
• 42:32
  had six. Minta get 6 points.
• 42:34
  That's pretty funny. That's that way.
• 42:38
  You think this is upset? Watch.
• 42:40
  Leads at home. Yeah, I don't even know if it's
• 42:43
  you can consider an upset. I think there's just two teams
• 42:45
  that are pretty solid. Yeah, these are.
• 42:47
  Plus 310 the right level No, these guys are plus three 10310
• 42:52
  price is -14 I. Mean Brian's sitting in what
• 42:56
  Brian's sitting in 13th place. Leeds is in 15th places is
• 42:59
  pretty like mid table. I think that's a pretty good bat
• 43:00
  I. Think that's pretty good.
• 43:01
  I don't. Like you are you I, I think you
• 43:05
  know, like you the the defenders for Brian, not really that in
• 43:09
  play anyways, right. So you're really like you're
• 43:11
  gonna play your attacking assets and you're just gonna be with
• 43:14
  this lineup my next game. Burnley, Arsenal, we talked
• 43:18
  about like, you know, some of those those fringe guys.
• 43:20
  You're not super stoked on playing right?
• 43:23
  If you if you're if you're able to, you're still playing
• 43:25
  Hartman. You think there's enough
• 43:27
  attacking up? Yeah, I'm playing album.
• 43:29
  I think what's been interesting about Arsenal is like, I mean,
• 43:32
  they've had a few games, they've scored a lot of goals, but they
• 43:34
  also don't really have an issue with scoring a ball in the City
• 43:37
  model lead. Yeah, they've they've got 16
• 43:38
  goals this season, but the big one is that they've only let in
• 43:42
  three. Yeah, something to keep an eye
• 43:44
  out on as Saka didn't finish in any minute of the whole game
• 43:47
  last game week and I think there's Champions League
• 43:50
  following week, so he might be arrested.
• 43:54
  Interesting. If they'd wrest him against
• 43:55
  Berlin, yeah, he could that. 'D be that'd be the probably A1
• 43:58
  to wrestling against, you know, if you're really if you're
• 44:00
  looking at this, I think the one Rob is like what there's no
• 44:03
  there's still no matter like. He's still out.
• 44:05
  No, he's dangerous though. So wait wait when Yuri goes in
• 44:08
  or something? Martinelli of.
• 44:09
  Course, more Nelly. Yeah, Eze.
• 44:13
  Yeah, I mean, all systems go Arsenal, Burnley player on risk
• 44:17
  ends up saying he's still playing Hartman.
• 44:19
  I think Anthony, I think Anthony's had some good scores
• 44:22
  against good teams so far this season, even when they have is.
• 44:24
  Burnley at home. Burnley's on the road.
• 44:26
  No, I'm sorry. Burnley's at home.
• 44:28
  Burnley's at. Home then, yeah, I play.
• 44:29
  What's his name up front? Anthony.
• 44:32
  Anthony, he scores at home. I'm just saying if if you're
• 44:36
  stuck, he does score at home. When he does score, he does
• 44:38
  score at home. He doesn't score away.
• 44:40
  OK, what's the, what are the? What are the?
• 44:42
  What's the line on this Vertika? +8 hundreds for Burnley, arsenal
• 44:45
  -345. Yeah, No thanks.
• 44:49
  Yeah, in effects. Crystal Palace, Brentford.
• 44:51
  This will be fun I think. Could defensive team against a.
• 44:56
  Very direct attacking. Yeah, a very direct attacking
• 44:58
  team. I think you would I'm.
• 45:00
  I'm chomping at the bit to play my Crystal Palace defenders in
• 45:03
  this game. All day.
• 45:04
  Yeah, yeah. But.
• 45:05
  Palace hasn't won in three games.
• 45:06
  Not. A little bit of a slip, yeah.
• 45:10
  Brentford's what ends? I said they just won three of
• 45:12
  their last four and the loss was against City.
• 45:14
  MM hmm. Yeah.
• 45:16
  So, so yeah, I mean what I mean what, what is how, what does
• 45:20
  that leave this line then? So Palace at home minus one O 9,
• 45:23
  Brantford plus three O 5, huh? What's a tie?
• 45:27
  A tie is 250. No, no, it's not that bad for
• 45:30
  Palace. It was interesting with Palace.
• 45:33
  So I didn't get the start. What?
• 45:35
  Do we know what happened there, by the way?
• 45:38
  No, I'm curious if it was an injury related.
• 45:40
  Oh, wait, no, he did good. Oh wait, he did good.
• 45:42
  I don't know why I thought he didn't start.
• 45:44
  He played 90 minutes. Never mind, disregard me.
• 45:48
  Just didn't do anything that game, yeah.
• 45:51
  Yeah, What's that joke? Why isn't Why isn't Zabi Simmons
• 45:54
  playing? That's it.
• 45:58
  Tico texts the group every every week when Zabi Simmons does a
• 46:02
  bad game. Why isn't Zabi Simmons playing?
• 46:04
  It's been there the whole time. What do we think about this
• 46:08
  game? I mean, are we any any any
• 46:13
  strong feelings? I mean, I think you have to
• 46:15
  startle your breath for attackers, yeah, each they,
• 46:18
  every single one of them got a goal contribution.
• 46:19
  All four. I think this is a game where you
• 46:21
  start everyone, but that's the score, so yeah.
• 46:25
  Yeah, it's not because the Palace has been scoring a ton of
• 46:27
  goals either. So you're not like super turned
• 46:28
  off by any of the Brentford defenders if you have them.
• 46:30
  You know, Coyote. Coyote's had two good games in a
• 46:33
  row. That's right, a monster game two
• 46:35
  weeks ago, and he had a solid game last week, he won.
• 46:37
  Now the match last week against Arsenal, Coyote, you did.
• 46:41
  So he's kind of finally coming alive.
• 46:44
  OK, next game, Fulham, Wolves, Fulham needs this.
• 46:49
  They both they both need this bad.
• 46:51
  They both need this so bad. It's at the cottage.
• 46:55
  It's at. Fulham is -120 which is a very
• 46:58
  good line. Wolves are plus 345, yeah.
• 47:01
  You think Wolves could do it? I've done a Wolves twice this
• 47:03
  year in lost school times. Yeah, I can't.
• 47:04
  I can't do it anymore. Yeah, dude.
• 47:06
  Wolves has like 19 goals. It's like my me with my city
• 47:11
  keepers all over again. Yeah, Yep.
• 47:14
  There's there's only wrong. Fulham's laying fourteen goals,
• 47:17
  but they scored two more than free game.
• 47:19
  Wolverhampton has nine. It's not like.
• 47:21
  That's that's not good. It's not good.
• 47:24
  I mean, how many assets really on any of these teams are you
• 47:26
  really trying to start? Like I mean I see had a solid
• 47:29
  score last week. He managed well.
• 47:31
  We didn't have a good game last game.
• 47:32
  Assists. Yeah, I mean that like Hugo
• 47:37
  Bueno continues to get have decent scores.
• 47:39
  So you play the fringe players, like the players that aren't
• 47:42
  sexy, you know, I mean like the Lukic, the the Triori, if he
• 47:47
  plays like Ferrari plays against his old team, be interesting,
• 47:52
  could do something. Bueno is the high scoring player
• 47:54
  on Wolves with 85 points. I mean, I think you're going to
• 47:58
  start. You're obviously going to start
• 47:59
  like it will be because you kind of have to, yeah, you have to.
• 48:02
  You haven't been that happy with him huh -2 Last game?
• 48:05
  But you know, if you go by Tico standard, you got to drop him
• 48:08
  all right if. We're going to do this, we're
• 48:10
  going to do this. One player has the history of
• 48:12
  playing in the Premiership before and has the history of
• 48:15
  performing. Other player has a history of
• 48:17
  being benched wherever the fuck he goes and not performing he.
• 48:20
  Was. Great, that's not fucking true.
• 48:23
  But OK, let's let's let's. Let's let's let's talk about
• 48:26
  he's also. Played very well for the Dutch
• 48:27
  astral team as. Well, as I say the same.
• 48:29
  Thing OK, nice game Forest, Forest versus United.
• 48:33
  I think everyone's thinking that we need to get this kid a
• 48:36
  haircut and Forest and United has to win, right?
• 48:39
  There's no other. Forest has been awful.
• 48:41
  Also, how many goals has been Forested scored this season?
• 48:45
  It's at the City Ground. How many goals was forested this
• 48:48
  season? 6 Lower less 4. 4455 you.
• 48:55
  Suck. It's scored five goals.
• 48:57
  How many goals is that Chris would have alone?
• 49:00
  At this point last season, you probably had fucking.
• 49:02
  Five goals. Probably had more than 5.
• 49:05
  Is there any world where Sean Dice figures this out and makes
• 49:09
  it really hard for United, and United has a hard time breaking
• 49:11
  him down? I trust him when I trust Ange,
• 49:14
  but I don't with the way May and I is playing right now.
• 49:18
  And if it's not on the fire and all cylinders, they're going to
• 49:20
  try to keep the momentum going and they're going to go all out
• 49:23
  on this Forest team. Yeah, I think they got to keep
• 49:25
  it, keep it up. It's been interesting to see the
• 49:29
  the drop off from Ellie Anderson, who that's a pretty
• 49:31
  good start to the season. So a few pretty mediocre games,
• 49:36
  more games. White too.
• 49:37
  Like really not much going on there, man.
• 49:40
  Pretty rough, pretty rough. This whole team, Chris Wood,
• 49:45
  just nothing. I don't even think we've talked
• 49:48
  about some of the the forest defenders like, oh, maybe
• 49:50
  they're back on the menu. I think you got to wait and see.
• 49:53
  I mean the the highest scoring Forest players 69.75 points
• 49:58
  that's not. Good.
• 49:59
  It didn't look good, too. That's that Forest game.
• 50:01
  They didn't look comfortable, like they were trying to pass
• 50:03
  the ball around. It just wasn't working.
• 50:05
  Although they started, there's not a single.
• 50:07
  Deutsch. Forest not a single player at
• 50:09
  starting. Forest against Man United.
• 50:10
  OK, next game Tottenham. Oh, what's the line, by the way?
• 50:14
  Forest plus 235, United a surprising plus 106.
• 50:20
  That's would be my pick for the party.
• 50:21
  Yeah, I think you should be. You should have done that last
• 50:23
  week. Tottenham hot, Tottenham versus
• 50:26
  Chelsea, what's power? We're running late.
• 50:30
  Tottenham plus 172, Chelsea plus 148.
• 50:34
  I think another game where you start everyone.
• 50:36
  Yeah, you got to, you have to start.
• 50:37
  I'm assuming it's that. Oh, it's at the stadium.
• 50:41
  Yeah. You're not starting Simmons.
• 50:42
  You're absolutely not starting Simmons.
• 50:44
  Chelsea just looks like a little fragile.
• 50:45
  I think they're mentally they're a little fragile after that
• 50:48
  Sunderland Miles. And you know, the other thing
• 50:49
  too that people aren't really taking into account is the game
• 50:51
  prior where they played Forest. Forest had some really good
• 50:55
  chances and it kind of got papered over by three.
• 50:56
  Oh, that didn't look at, but I think, I think, I don't think
• 50:59
  Chelsea's looked great the last few games.
• 51:01
  So, so yeah, I, I would have to give, I'd give the nod to
• 51:05
  Tottenham for sure. Shut up, this is Tottenham.
• 51:09
  Chelsea is always gonna be a tough game.
• 51:11
  It's gonna be a tough game, but I'd give the edge.
• 51:14
  If I had a pick who was gonna win, I would unless.
• 51:16
  Sanovan scores another brace this game.
• 51:19
  You think it's I think Tottenham's issue is that they
• 51:21
  they're having a hard time scoring goals.
• 51:23
  It's funny because we have the second best in the league right
• 51:27
  now. That's what we say is we
• 51:29
  actually scored more goals in Arsenal.
• 51:31
  It doesn't feel that way though. By one it.
• 51:33
  Doesn't, but there's a fact Arsene, Man City and Chelsea
• 51:37
  have all scored seventeen goals. Yeah.
• 51:41
  So there's goals on both these teams.
• 51:43
  OK, what about so the Chelsea defenders have not have been
• 51:46
  pretty up and down. Obviously I got Rhys James and
• 51:48
  he starts robbing injuries starting.
• 51:50
  But yeah, a lot of injuries there.
• 51:51
  I would maybe hold off from like the I thought Josh Auchampog
• 51:54
  might have a good game, but he did not.
• 51:56
  He did not score well even though he played pretty well
• 51:58
  last game. Like even the Chelsea wingers,
• 52:00
  you don't love Pedro. Netzo has been pretty hot and
• 52:03
  dry. Pedro hasn't been great.
• 52:06
  It's really yeah. But like Tigo, you said start
• 52:07
  everyone. I think there's a lot of Chelsea
• 52:09
  players that I don't have no issue if you want if you needed
• 52:11
  to batch. But I would.
• 52:13
  Like like people have fantasy value like Therese James as a
• 52:17
  Fernandez, John Pedro if he plays Phillips.
• 52:23
  Whoever plays against Poro, because Poro doesn't do well
• 52:25
  defensively and he's he's, you know, he's the weak.
• 52:28
  Spot. He's the.
• 52:29
  Defensively, he's the right back.
• 52:32
  Jed Spence is the one that ties people down.
• 52:34
  He's he's on the left. He'll be fine.
• 52:35
  Interesting, that's why. Maybe go maybe go Nacho can can
• 52:40
  breakthrough poro. Maybe, but he used to Poro used
• 52:44
  to shut him down. I'm more worried about Netto.
• 52:46
  I think not another play usually play typically starts on the
• 52:48
  right and then we'll switch over to the left if that's about what
• 52:51
  comes on. So Netto might be faced up
• 52:53
  against Jed Spence, who you said gets gets the dog chain out and
• 52:57
  dog walks people. So so yeah, I think I actually
• 53:01
  think that Pedro score Garnacho if it is or it's getting to
• 53:04
  whoever it is, because Pedro Poro does like to get high up
• 53:06
  the field and both of those left wingers really enjoy running in
• 53:09
  behind. So Yep, there's there's some
• 53:11
  there's some truth to that. And so I like that.
• 53:13
  Yeah, that may be an interesting like, yeah.
• 53:17
  OK. Next one, Liverpool versus
• 53:20
  Villa. Villa we could be 5 on the bow.
• 53:24
  What are the what are the odds on this one?
• 53:26
  Tikka? It's not an infield.
• 53:29
  Liverpool is -175 Villa is plus 425.
• 53:33
  Oh, boys. That sounds.
• 53:35
  It's out Enfield, it's out Enfield.
• 53:36
  So that's like half a goal. You got to give that.
• 53:38
  You got to give to Arsenal half a goal, right?
• 53:40
  Yeah, but that that was when Salah was under Tico.
• 53:44
  When he's on the key, if he doesn't do nothing, man.
• 53:46
  That's actually, I think that's a great that that's an amazing.
• 53:48
  That's like a straight up, straight up bat.
• 53:50
  It's like a straight up bat. It's the odds are good enough
• 53:52
  for it to be straight up. Yeah.
• 53:54
  For sure, that might have to be a straight up bet.
• 53:56
  OK, Liverpool, you're you just, these are the games are just
• 54:00
  tough. Like Liverpool, you're not gonna
• 54:01
  not start your guys. You're obviously gonna.
• 54:03
  Start you're gonna bench works though, right?
• 54:04
  You got a bench works. I mean, where, where's, what's
• 54:07
  his last few squares men? I mean, he is, he is he entering
• 54:09
  his Zombie Simmons territory as far as points 46360 and he had a
• 54:14
  10:00 and 11:00 and then a three and then a six.
• 54:17
  Tico, I I don't hear you ranting about flooring words the same
• 54:21
  way you were ranting about Zombie Simmons.
• 54:23
  Let the record show that even when the pre draft I said I
• 54:28
  don't think he's going to have a Goodyear and Keith, you're the
• 54:31
  one who said he he's going to put up first round numbers.
• 54:35
  That's not what Keith asked. That's not what that's not
• 54:38
  Keith. Why?
• 54:39
  Do you? Why do?
• 54:40
  You why do you bring? All you're doing is.
• 54:44
  I'm just saying I, I, I, I think all the arguments that for Xavi
• 54:47
  Simmons you can make for Flavourites.
• 54:50
  But like you mean you would never drop and this is a good
• 54:53
  example, you would never drop Floyd Verts.
• 54:55
  No, Keith, no, it's it's different.
• 54:57
  You're not comparing appers to oranges.
• 54:59
  And I just told you why. Because this is a player who's
• 55:01
  the first year in the Premier League.
• 55:03
  He no, no, I'm sorry. No, no, no.
• 55:06
  Keep going. Wait, wait.
• 55:07
  Wait, wait, wait, that's that's literally what that's exactly.
• 55:10
  No, no, no, no. Lamb cook.
• 55:11
  Lamb cook. Lamb cook.
• 55:14
  Let me. Let me keep digging your hole,
• 55:16
  Tigo. Let me, let me.
• 55:18
  I'll get back to you, but let me tell you why this happened.
• 55:20
  I was actually busy. I, I just thought of a way where
• 55:22
  I played that I just added, I was like, let me just make sure
• 55:24
  I put this in before I forget. No, it, it is a little different
• 55:28
  and to me the difference is because he has had games where
• 55:31
  he's he's had good games without goal contributions 11.25.
• 55:34
  That's good. OK, OK.
• 55:36
  He he also hasn't started every game and also this team brought
• 55:40
  a lot of new players in. No has David Simmons.
• 55:42
  He hasn't started every game. There's been quite a few new
• 55:44
  players on. One, he hasn't started one and
• 55:47
  also when you get Liverpool, I don't think it's a worst
• 55:49
  problem. I think it's overall as a team
• 55:51
  problem. He's not.
• 55:52
  Yeah, I think, I think, I think Sal is not.
• 55:54
  Performing GAC was OK. Frenpag is not performing.
• 55:58
  Kirkus is not performing. I'm just saying, I'm just saying
• 56:01
  that that for the same reason for Verts, I'm not dropping, I'm
• 56:04
  not dropping Simmons. I think the one thing that TV
• 56:06
  made a good point about was the fact that Verts there's been
• 56:09
  games where he has his front and it's looked better.
• 56:11
  Yeah, that's the, that's the only good point you made.
• 56:13
  Everything else was just trying to.
• 56:15
  She's a lot stumbling, I agree. It yeah, it also comes out one
• 56:19
  you picked up off the waiver where one you put draft capital.
• 56:22
  Yeah. But like ends up put waiver fab
• 56:24
  capital. So I mean, it's, yeah.
• 56:26
  I I get that. That's like if I made the
• 56:28
  distinction between endless decision and your decision.
• 56:30
  So let me get all right, let me ask you guys this question.
• 56:33
  Moving forward, you have to take one player who's gonna who's
• 56:35
  gonna have a better year? Who are you going to take?
• 56:38
  Where's Simmons? Well, obviously going to take
• 56:41
  Brits. You're going to say what?
• 56:42
  OK. All right, there we go.
• 56:45
  OK. That doesn't mean we're
• 56:46
  literally just going. Absolutely, that's what it
• 56:48
  means. We're going circles, guys.
• 56:51
  This OK, West Ham versus Newcastle United.
• 56:56
  Where is this? This is at the London Stadium.
• 56:58
  So for West, So West Ham, my same home game, new new house,
• 57:02
  Newcastle's going to just wreck. West Ham is just empty inside.
• 57:08
  Yeah, they, they're they've already given up.
• 57:09
  I think the fans leave at half time.
• 57:12
  Oh, and especially it's almost like it's like a home game isn't
• 57:15
  even a thing for them because that's apparently that stadium
• 57:17
  is so, so bad because people like because fans.
• 57:20
  Are so far away from the fans, never want to move there in the
• 57:22
  1st. Place No, this is a free.
• 57:24
  I think they were leave up in part essentially were given a
• 57:26
  free stadium, but it's just like it's terrible, terrible vibes.
• 57:29
  What are the odds on this one, Tikka?
• 57:30
  This one nuke it was. Some are plus three AED at home.
• 57:34
  Newcastle -157. That's nice.
• 57:36
  I am benching my new like the the Wambusakas, the doofs, you
• 57:42
  know, you got to start your bones.
• 57:43
  I think the cat says borderline. Yeah, cuz he kind of, he shows
• 57:46
  that he has the, he has penalties, you know.
• 57:50
  How many goals you think nuke West Ham's letting?
• 57:53
  They've letting the most goals so far this season.
• 57:55
  West Ham. Yep, 12. 20 Nope, that's
• 57:59
  ridiculous 23. 20 they lay in 20.
• 58:05
  How many goals? Wow.
• 58:07
  That is atrocious. But they've got one win.
• 58:11
  Yeah. Oh yeah.
• 58:11
  So. But I mean, obviously Bo and
• 58:13
  Piketa and I think that's it. I think that's only two players.
• 58:16
  You could even. Piketa's borderline, like you
• 58:18
  said. Yeah, but I think Piketa's only
• 58:21
  borderline because his last few games haven't been great.
• 58:24
  Yeah. Yeah, I mean, he's really,
• 58:27
  Piketa's really bolstered by two good games, and everything else
• 58:30
  has been pretty mediocre. Yeah, I don't think I won the
• 58:33
  go. Down just so you can get Bowen.
• 58:35
  You're a bad team. OK, last last two games Man
• 58:40
  City, Bournemouth, this is gonna be a good one.
• 58:41
  Go ahead. I can see City losing again
• 58:43
  potentially. It's at the Etihad, so it's a
• 58:48
  City City home game. Obviously no rodgery for City,
• 58:53
  which doesn't make things any better for them.
• 58:54
  I think. Bournemouth Simenio 2 games in a
• 58:57
  row. A little underwhelming or did he
• 58:59
  have a good one? He got 2 tuner.
• 59:01
  He got a. Monster 2 turn Rd. light and it
• 59:03
  wasn't like there were zeros though you know, it was like A7
• 59:05
  and A6. Yeah, very reasonable.
• 59:09
  He's just not getting the same goal contribution that he was
• 59:12
  doing at the beginning of the season.
• 59:14
  He's still the number 2 ranked player by 21.25 points compared
• 59:19
  to 3rd. So having a great year, anyone?
• 59:22
  Anyone. We're not starting in this game.
• 59:24
  Reindeer Games. Yeah, I think, I think Savio and
• 59:29
  Rinders, the two that I happen to have on the same team, I
• 59:32
  think it's hard to justify. Mm hmm, I'm hoping don't you
• 59:35
  fucking starts. That's what I'm I.
• 59:37
  Went around the board with the ball.
• 59:38
  Renee. On the left.
• 59:40
  Oh, he's so, yeah. So that's actually a really
• 59:42
  interesting point. So Barty all got a start on off
• 59:44
  the left and that's where was that two years ago where he just
• 59:46
  was phenomenal off the left. Last year was was it?
• 59:49
  Last year it was last. Year the first half and then he
• 59:52
  moved to center back. I also want to shout out new
• 59:54
  guys that started last three in a row and it's like pretty
• 59:56
  solid. But he hasn't looked good
• 59:58
  offensively. Look good defensively but not
• 1:00:00
  offensively. But I'm OK with that if he's
• 1:00:03
  getting the starts. It's also interesting, like
• 1:00:05
  Sharky's back, he's kind of come on a few times.
• 1:00:08
  Yeah, Pepke's we get singing his praises like he's really good
• 1:00:12
  talent, but which we know he is, but he might be one of those
• 1:00:15
  that he wants to force into the team.
• 1:00:17
  Yeah, but with this Pep. Now Ruben Diaz has been sneaky
• 1:00:20
  good his last three games 1612.2515.75 that's a that's a
• 1:00:23
  potential pick up for people that are looking he's only owned
• 1:00:26
  in I guess he's owned 80% at least so maybe not what what's
• 1:00:32
  that I. Have a waiver on him, they'll
• 1:00:33
  tell people. Yeah, and I was, I was talking
• 1:00:35
  about Nunez. I think he's like a man.
• 1:00:38
  I think Savio Tico, you gonna continue to start Savio through
• 1:00:41
  this and now are you feeling like it's time that maybe
• 1:00:45
  potentially bench? I think I just don't have better
• 1:00:47
  options. So for me it's have to I'm very.
• 1:00:49
  Like people that people that drafted that drafted in like the
• 1:00:51
  fourth round, they probably don't have better options.
• 1:00:53
  Yeah, like I have, I'm very like defense heavy.
• 1:00:56
  So I don't have a lot of midfielder forward that I.
• 1:00:58
  Think I think a lot. Are you defense heavy too,
• 1:01:00
  Keith? I'm so I would do so defenders.
• 1:01:03
  I mean, I think everyone's fairly defense heavy because
• 1:01:04
  defense is just scoring so well this year.
• 1:01:06
  Like a so many amazing these. Me too the these.
• 1:01:11
  Are. OK, next game.
• 1:01:13
  Last game, Sunderland, Everton Cocky.
• 1:01:15
  Party. Sunderland, Everton, we stay on
• 1:01:19
  track. We're so close.
• 1:01:20
  Sunderland. Everton, this is another good
• 1:01:22
  game. This is going to be a very good
• 1:01:23
  game. Well.
• 1:01:25
  What everton's lost? How many in a row?
• 1:01:26
  Now, yeah, but green? Last time I'm good.
• 1:01:28
  I have one winner and draw. Yeah.
• 1:01:30
  So in their last five they have 3 losses.
• 1:01:32
  I went in a draw. Yeah, but like, honestly, they
• 1:01:35
  could have got a little bit more at that Tottenham game.
• 1:01:37
  Don't be wrong, they just kind of break down the middle but on
• 1:01:40
  the wings they're fine and die is freaking ridiculous.
• 1:01:44
  And if he just gets past that first man and then grillish it's
• 1:01:48
  just about if you have better or barrier front.
• 1:01:51
  They need someone better up front to help finish those those
• 1:01:54
  crosses. Grillish's baseline is so good.
• 1:01:57
  He was. That was one of the biggest
• 1:01:59
  mistakes I think I've ever made, training him away.
• 1:02:01
  Well, you grew up. Nosh.
• 1:02:03
  Oh yeah, I'm just, I'm pre empting.
• 1:02:05
  I'm doing it so you guys can't make fun of me for.
• 1:02:07
  It I think Marino, one of the biggest ones you did too, and
• 1:02:09
  the Roger. That's right.
• 1:02:11
  I got justified. That was justified.
• 1:02:13
  I mean, it could be worse. You could have traded for
• 1:02:15
  Richard Liston and someone else for Kunya.
• 1:02:18
  Such a bad trade. That is such a bad trade.
• 1:02:21
  We'll talk about it after. I got Paro and probably win me
• 1:02:24
  games the Charleston. I was hoping we'd get some
• 1:02:26
  starts. We'll.
• 1:02:27
  Talk about after. We'll see.
• 1:02:28
  Yeah, OK, we'll get. To I've got to leave after this.
• 1:02:33
  Yeah, it's getting late. OK, what Sunderland's been
• 1:02:36
  looked pretty good. I think this will be a pretty
• 1:02:37
  interesting game. On the third, yeah.
• 1:02:39
  Mukhaleli for Sunderland. Thyme all day.
• 1:02:42
  Center back been awesome. What about your like everything
• 1:02:45
  defenders? Have they been shown up?
• 1:02:48
  Well, Brian got that goal, but he was disallowed.
• 1:02:50
  He he played really well. But Karkowski and Kane, I don't
• 1:02:54
  know if they're scoring very well.
• 1:02:55
  They're not really doing what they used to, I think.
• 1:02:57
  Karkowski got 8. I mean, he's been fine.
• 1:02:59
  Joe Christy's been fine. He's the 8th ranked defender,
• 1:03:02
  21st overall. He's been solid.
• 1:03:03
  He's been like, he's exactly what you expect from.
• 1:03:05
  Him like he's he's been losing. Games and he's still getting his
• 1:03:08
  points, Ian, he's sees the center back.
• 1:03:11
  He scored terribly the last game.
• 1:03:12
  O'Brien scored terribly the last game.
• 1:03:15
  Yeah, it's hasn't been as hasn't been as great as it was at the
• 1:03:18
  beginning of the season for them in general.
• 1:03:21
  James Garner Community. Inconsistent.
• 1:03:26
  James Gardner continues to be pretty consistent.
• 1:03:28
  I think he had a a 7.25. I mean not not great numbers,
• 1:03:31
  but just very like solid. Yeah, he's not playing that back
• 1:03:34
  in the rival, he's back in the middle.
• 1:03:36
  Although he did go to right back midway through the game because
• 1:03:38
  they subbed in someone else. But yeah, yeah.
• 1:03:42
  Who'd you if you had to guess who would win this game?
• 1:03:43
  Who'd you guess if you had to predict?
• 1:03:46
  Sunderland. It's at the Stadium of Light.
• 1:03:48
  Yeah. It's hard.
• 1:03:49
  Not it's hard. Not a big Dick stadium anymore
• 1:03:51
  so. It's a yeah, it's hard not to
• 1:03:53
  that, but think about center then after what they did in
• 1:03:56
  Chelsea last week, come all right, we're going to do what's
• 1:03:59
  that? What's that?
• 1:04:00
  We did wave age by there we're going to do.
• 1:04:02
  Our, I mean, I mean, are we going to do our, our bet?
• 1:04:04
  Sorry. Yeah, sure bet.
• 1:04:06
  So Sergei has gone with Arsenal, no surprise there -345 I'm going
• 1:04:10
  with Man U plus one O 6. I'm going villa do it.
• 1:04:15
  We're going to be rich. We're going to be rich.
• 1:04:18
  Plus 425. OK, so I should go a little
• 1:04:22
  safer then, huh? Just trying to get this wrapped
• 1:04:24
  up. I'll go.
• 1:04:25
  I'll go to Newcastle. It's -150.
• 1:04:27
  Newcastle is -157 yeah, that's great.
• 1:04:30
  I'll do Keith. That's to be 3 weeks in order
• 1:04:31
  you go to Newcastle. Call me a call.
• 1:04:33
  Every every week, though, I'm a. Dick no easy.
• 1:04:35
  They lost three weeks ago we talked about.
• 1:04:37
  They lost. They lost three weeks ago.
• 1:04:38
  They won last. Year.
• 1:04:38
  No, this is the third week, so that was two weeks ago.
• 1:04:41
  Yeah, they lost two weeks ago. Yeah, they lost.
• 1:04:44
  They lost last week. Yeah.
• 1:04:46
  Yeah, I'm going. I'm going back to him.
• 1:04:48
  All right, Can you believe that? Anthony Gordon has been so good
• 1:04:50
  in the Champions Champions League and just has been just
• 1:04:53
  done nothing in the Premier League.
• 1:04:56
  Mm Hmm annoying, annoying. Oh yeah, that's a pretty good
• 1:04:59
  bet. What's, what's the I feel like
• 1:05:00
  that's going to be in the thousands.
• 1:05:03
  It should be in the thousands. I have to refresh the system
• 1:05:05
  because it kind of timed out. Give me give me guys a minute
• 1:05:11
  ends when you made the trade, when you traded, right, Kunya?
• 1:05:13
  Did you shop them around or no? No, I it was the whole the whole
• 1:05:19
  fiasco with 100 fab and blah blah blah.
• 1:05:22
  He'd been pushing for fucking Kenya and Kenya really wasn't
• 1:05:24
  doing much, so I just gave him for Conya.
• 1:05:27
  Guilty conscience. Yeah.
• 1:05:30
  Guilty conscience. Exactly.
• 1:05:32
  Yeah. I mean, poro whatever it's.
• 1:05:35
  Not yeah, Poro's doing doing a business for me and I've got, I
• 1:05:38
  got Good Hope for Tomlin's defense.
• 1:05:39
  So like Vicario's been doing a doing the job for me.
• 1:05:43
  He's been making some great saves and when he gets a clean
• 1:05:44
  sheet, it's just added on is. Vicario, the number one keeper
• 1:05:46
  I. Don't think so.
• 1:05:48
  I think he's second. I'm just gonna go off top of my
• 1:05:51
  head with the number one keeper. Is this the Sunderland guy?
• 1:05:54
  Yeah, I think so. Vicario's.
• 1:05:57
  Yeah, drop down a lot. Roofs.
• 1:05:58
  Pope Dubrovka, Petrovich and then Vicario.
• 1:06:02
  Oh, really? All right.
• 1:06:03
  So. But he's done a he's done a job
• 1:06:05
  for me all season. I haven't.
• 1:06:06
  Had to take the Broncos the the Broncos available in our league
• 1:06:10
  50%. Oh, he's the third best keeper
• 1:06:12
  in the league. What's?
• 1:06:12
  Happening right now I. Don't know Tico, is that the
• 1:06:15
  Taco taste? Oh, the tables have turned.
• 1:06:18
  No, because I thought I'd go on my phone but it's giving
• 1:06:21
  complete different outs again. So I go on Blavat.
• 1:06:24
  Do you want me to do it? I mean, I could do it.
• 1:06:26
  I just provide the let me just close this and start a new
• 1:06:29
  window. You guys always talk to some
• 1:06:31
  Real Madrid in the meantime. No, please no.
• 1:06:34
  Did you guys think that was a penalty or not?
• 1:06:36
  You know, I didn't, I didn't watch it.
• 1:06:37
  Chico, will you explain the beef between Carvajal and Yamal?
• 1:06:40
  So there is no beef with their teammates.
• 1:06:43
  So before the. Game the Spanish and Spain,
• 1:06:46
  yeah. Before the game, Yabal was doing
• 1:06:50
  an interview with Kings League, which is the league that PK
• 1:06:53
  created in Spain. I don't know if you guys know
• 1:06:55
  about that or not. And he made a comment about like
• 1:06:58
  Real Madrid, they buy their referees or something.
• 1:06:59
  They still cheat. And Carvajal before the game, he
• 1:07:02
  said, I'm going to have a talking to him afterwards.
• 1:07:05
  But if you look at the he approached him, he talked to him
• 1:07:09
  and he walked away. And your Mazdon, who kind of
• 1:07:12
  went after Carvajal and told everyone to meet him in the in
• 1:07:15
  the tunnel. Like, what are you going to do?
• 1:07:17
  Dude? You're like freaking what?
• 1:07:19
  Yeah, you guys are way too rich to be fighting.
• 1:07:22
  You're just not like that. Honestly like I'm really not a
• 1:07:25
  fan of your mall just for Saudi wise, just the way he comes off.
• 1:07:29
  I feel like this guy on the borderline, he could kind of
• 1:07:31
  like mess it up with his behavior.
• 1:07:35
  Tika, you're united, right? Yeah.
• 1:07:38
  Oh yeah, so we're at it's plus 2183.
• 1:07:41
  What's the payout? That's a 40 to win 873.
• 1:07:47
  I love it. I love this bat.
• 1:07:49
  You're going to be rich. Do we do we still have money in
• 1:07:51
  the bank or am I still sending money?
• 1:07:54
  No, we're we ran out of our goodwill.
• 1:07:56
  If you have it, do you wanna put it and then I will sell you.
• 1:07:59
  Sounds great. What are the odds?
• 1:08:01
  Can you see it one more? Time arsenal -345.
• 1:08:06
  No, no, no. The total for the parley?
• 1:08:07
  02183. And then what's our payout?
• 1:08:11
  It's 40 to win 800 and 7340. 40 got it all right.
• 1:08:14
  Send it to you. I'm gonna, I'm gonna place.
• 1:08:17
  I'm placing it right now. We're in.
• 1:08:20
  All right. This has been episode 110 of
• 1:08:22
  Dropped Off Sides. I'm with Tico and Enzo.
