Wrong ring. I am so wrong ring.
0:08
Nobody's here. That's me.
0:19
OK, let's let's, let's, let's get this episode on the road
0:22
here. Hello and welcome to Episode 55
0:42
of Draft Offsides. I'm with Tico Enzo, my name is
0:44
Keith. Midweek episode.
0:48
So we're actually going to talk waivers from a midweek
0:50
perspective and then we're going to kind of go into next week's
0:53
games and some matchups and some questions and then I guess we
0:56
will pick our parlay for the week and continue our winning
1:01
streak. How does that sound, voice?
1:03
Oh yeah, let's go. I don't even want to do the the
1:06
waivers. Let's just go straight to the
1:07
the the gambling. All right.
1:11
First one of waivers, we talked about a little bit in this, I
1:15
forget where it went one section of last week's episode or last
1:18
the last episode, but Adama Trore for full on.
1:23
Are you guys, are you guys prioritizing that as a waiver or
1:26
how do you feel about Adama Troy?
1:27
I had him when I dropped him. When did you drop him?
1:31
I got him the first week and then I picked up.
1:33
Who did I pick up? I picked someone else that did
1:35
better and then he gonna assist the next week.
1:39
He's too hot and cold. Don't know what I'm going to get
1:41
out of him. Playing for Fulham team that
1:43
looks like they're trying to develop something, but yeah, I'm
1:47
not sure. I think it gets an Ipswich team.
1:50
I'm interested in him next week, ma'am, I think.
1:54
I think he's a type of player that just is so explosive.
1:57
Maybe against some some guys that are used to the
1:59
championship level quality you might be able to dominate them.
2:03
Yeah, it's good argument. But I, I, I think to your point,
2:06
I'm not necessarily like pick him up and hold them for the
2:10
rest of the season. Yeah.
2:11
No I wouldn't use my waiver wire whether it's fiber position on
2:16
on him. I would just wait until the
2:18
waiver finishes. Hope no one picks him up.
2:20
You could spot start it and and you picked up well back for him
2:24
so. Not a bad, no bad.
2:26
Then you didn't start either then.
2:28
Shut up. I think the issue with Charlie
2:32
is that it'd be a lot cooler if he was a mid.
2:35
Yeah, if he was a mid I think he'd be almost like a must pick
2:37
up. But there's just so many
2:38
forwards that are in that similar vein like that boom or
2:41
bust kind of type of players, you know, that I think it's
2:45
tough, but I like him. And I think if there's
2:47
definitely, if you're looking for a spot, spot start, he's a
2:50
really good one. And I think I like Tico's
2:51
strategy too. Someone that you can just pick
2:53
up for free. Oh yeah.
2:55
What about this this Wolves player we all really liked after
2:58
watching them? He almost he gave us a heart
3:00
attack. Fucking Beanstalk over here man.
3:04
Strand, Larson. Yeah, man, he looked good.
3:07
He already looked like he had some sort of like connection
3:09
with Kunya and couple of the other wingers passing the ball
3:13
through and making good runs. Did he get an assist that game?
3:17
Figured he'd go and assist that game, right?
3:19
Yeah, he got a goal. He got a goal, He got a goal.
3:21
That's right. He's scoring.
3:23
I like him. I like him.
3:27
Yeah. Oh, did he not scoring ball
3:31
games? He just scored in the first
3:32
game. He's just scored in the chest
3:33
again now the first game. Yeah, waiver wire try to go for
3:37
him, are you you're not going to be able to pick him up free.
3:39
Very doubtful, I feel. But fab, I don't know how much
3:42
fab I spend on this guy. Case he's not.
3:44
There, everyone we're talking about right now is going to
3:46
probably still be available, I think.
3:48
I think he's still going to be there, yeah.
3:50
Off the waiver wire. Yeah, he's owned at 80% of
3:53
leagues right now. I think it's I don't think I
3:55
think this one goal isn't going to break the bang, especially on
3:59
a on a wolf seems that lost 62. Yeah but it was on a wolf seem
4:03
to lost 62 and he still got points.
4:07
Yeah, because he scored one of the goals.
4:09
I think everyone's going to. I think all these players are
4:11
going to be there. Really.
4:13
Yeah, I. Think, I think these are going
4:14
to be posted, not to mention this episode's dropping on
4:17
Friday, so you better hope he's still there because he won't,
4:20
you know? But Strand, Larson, I, I really
4:23
like just his movement. I thought he looked really
4:25
strong and I think Cunha really loves playing off a big striker
4:28
like that too, So I think that Combo's kind of lethal.
4:33
Yeah. Zika, are you indifferent?
4:37
I feel like, do you care? What's Strand Larson?
4:40
I would want to see larger sample size.
4:42
He did like the part. He looked good coming from the
4:44
Liga where it's more technical league.
4:46
So I think he will have opportunities.
4:48
He will score some goals but I think he's a player.
4:50
I would just play the match ups and I would want to see larger
4:53
sample size, four of them in the Premier League before going
4:56
after him and the waivers. So if you were desert for a
4:59
striker and he's always playing Nottingham Forest next week, is
5:02
that is that an option or not really even then?
5:04
If I was desperate, that would be a option, yeah.
5:08
Meet particularly. I have a lot of forwards,
5:10
including Cunha, but if I was Lesper for a striker, he would
5:13
be someone who I would be looking to spot.
5:15
Start definitely. Yeah, I agree.
5:17
Oh yeah, next one. Not Max Kilman we've talked
5:19
about. I think he's going to be off
5:20
waivers by this week. I think he's already owned 50%
5:22
of leagues. I think he's he's going to be
5:24
gone. But on the off chance he isn't,
5:27
just check, check your waivers for him because he's, I think
5:30
he's looking like he's looking like a absolute steal as a West
5:35
Ham defender. And this week too.
5:36
And he also might be someone someone picks up for a week.
5:38
And if West Ham lose 4 nil to city, he might get dropped right
5:41
away too, you know. Yeah, that guy's an idiot if
5:45
they do that. People are another man's trash
5:49
is another man's trash not. Many things have happened.
5:51
Yeah. OK, next one on here.
5:54
Luca Dingier has started the last two games for Aston Villa
5:58
and his looks pretty solid. I know I'm pretty hot on Ian
6:01
Matson eventually taking this role, but you just have to like,
6:05
be honest here. And until that happens, Dina is
6:08
the man you know. Yeah, what really hurts me is
6:12
that I drafted Lucas Dina in two of my mock drafts, and then
6:15
Keith went on a round about Mattson and I never drafted him
6:18
again. No Dina last year, he had a good
6:21
year as well. I think if you have to play him
6:24
until he's no longer starting. And we spoke about the last
6:27
week's episode on kids trade when he made consensual trade.
6:32
The most frustrating part is, Keith, you gave up two players
6:34
and then you added Dina. So you kind of handcuffed
6:37
Madison as well. So doesn't matter what happened,
6:39
you're good on the. So that's the thing that might
6:43
be the most about that. Yeah, like a little 40 chess,
6:46
just layers. Yeah, yeah, I can see why you
6:49
how you would find that annoying.
6:56
Keith's own one this year. I I love it.
6:59
I'm I'm I'm hungry for a title. Missed out last year.
7:02
I'm. Ready for that?
7:03
Yeah, so. Beg borrowed steal to get there.
7:06
Let's go. Yeah, I, I think think it's
7:09
good. I mean, he got what he got.
7:13
Eight and a half, 8.25 points game one and 7.25 points game
7:17
two. I think Villas conceded goals in
7:19
both those games. Yeah.
7:23
So like, yeah, I think there's I think there's only more good
7:26
things to come. And like, yeah, if you can
7:28
handcuff Mats in with him, even better.
7:32
I think that's like a must if you have not said you should
7:34
probably pick up the year. Yeah.
7:37
OK, next on the list. OK, Gundelin.
7:40
He's back, baby. Like, look, Cover Chase is
7:43
having a good start, but Gundagon is Gundagon doesn't
7:48
need to be eased in. He knows Peps team.
7:52
He knows his team is what he's been going as long as we've gone
7:55
a year, two years, two years. No, just one.
7:58
No, just one. He's part of the Trouble team,
8:02
which was two years ago. Yeah.
8:05
OK, that's right. Yeah, He was gone for one year.
8:07
He's only gone for one year when a basa got a bit of a tan, came
8:10
back and came back for free. So I I think if if he does start
8:17
the next couple games, that's a risk you can take by trying to
8:20
pick him up now. He's like a shoe in to this Man
8:22
City team. I mean, it's going to be
8:25
interesting. I don't know if he's a shoe in
8:26
or not because obviously last year Rodri took out a different
8:31
role as well. So it's going to be interesting
8:32
to see with Gundogan and Rodri coming back because Rodri hasn't
8:36
played a game. Ford and you mentioned last
8:39
episode he hasn't played a game as well.
8:40
So it's going to be interesting. Kovacic gets started, but
8:44
Kovacic gets benched. And who's other player that's
8:46
playing in the middle? Luis.
8:49
Rico. No, he's in the wing.
8:51
He's just invited. Got it.
8:53
OK, so the probably those who giving up their spot in the
8:56
middle. Yeah, I mean, I think, OK,
8:58
Gundelin's gonna be a backup. I think so too.
9:01
Yeah, I don't think he, I don't think he's locked in at all.
9:04
I think he's someone that's gonna can fill in a lot of
9:05
different roles. So I think like let's say if
9:07
like Katie, one of KDB and Bernard Silva both are injured,
9:11
I think Gundelin can play a not central role.
9:13
If Rodri goes down and Kovacic is not performing, I think he
9:16
can play in that six. I think he can just do a lot of
9:18
those different roles, but I don't think he's first choice in
9:21
any of them. I I think he's going to be
9:23
city's version of Mordrich where he they kind of bring him on
9:26
late in the game. He knows the system to just calm
9:27
things down at control to it. So I think he's he'll get
9:31
playing time, but I don't think he's going to be consistent
9:33
starter. All right.
9:35
Yeah, I kind of agree. I think the name is what what's
9:38
that? Could be a chop and another
9:41
another note is the only reason Kovacic isn't on the waivers
9:44
this week after two really good performances is it looks like he
9:46
picked up a knock. So you know insidia knock means
9:50
you probably don't start the next game.
9:52
Yeah. You know, OK, next on the
9:55
waivers is Eddie and Katya. How to put a minute for Arsenal.
10:00
But rumors are he's going somewhere.
10:01
Initially it was not even Forest.
10:04
Now it's looking like it's going to be Crystal Palace.
10:07
Spoke about him a little bit last week.
10:08
What do you guys think? Are you, are you interested in
10:11
this if he goes to Palace? No, he's, he's.
10:15
I don't think. No, right now, I don't think he
10:17
starts ahead of the tower. I really don't.
10:21
Mateo's got that that job and it's his job to lose.
10:23
But you know, and and Kay has scored a few goals for Arsenal.
10:29
I don't think he's a bad player, but I don't think he's a he's a
10:32
star at Crystal Palace. I mean he's only what, 2425?
10:37
I think from the list besides Max skillman, I think NTR is the
10:41
one that has the highest potential, the highest upside.
10:44
So I think that's someone I would probably take a GAM by,
10:46
just Adam if he does get the playing time, who knows, he
10:49
might be able to contributor score some goals.
10:53
I just have never seen it with him.
10:55
Like how much of it is just because he's Arsenal player?
10:57
Like he was going from like, I don't know, like wolves to
11:02
palace. I don't think anyone would be
11:05
into it. I think it's just the Arsenal
11:07
name. I don't know, but I maybe, I
11:09
mean, maybe I haven't paid enough attention.
11:11
I just I kind of agree with Enzo.
11:12
I think it's going to be Mateta to start and then if Mateta
11:14
continues to not play well, I think Ketia would get a chance.
11:18
But I don't think it's, I don't think anything is guaranteed,
11:21
but maybe I mean, I the Tico's point, just maybe the upside
11:25
maybe that's you're really it's like you're more gambling if
11:28
you're picking up now. Yeah, I agree.
11:30
It's like it's a gamble, boy. It's a gambler that could pay
11:32
off. OK, then someone who's on waiver
11:35
wires last week and is on waiver wires again now that it's
11:37
confirmed Moreno to dying Forest.
11:41
We were speculative last week. This week it's real.
11:44
He didn't get it. He didn't play at all in their
11:46
most recent game. I think it's probably just too
11:47
soon. Are we?
11:50
Is that someone you're willing to pick up or you need to see
11:53
him in action first? I.
11:55
Mean I need to see him in action first.
11:58
I've got some decent defenders. Bob Marino is still a good
12:01
defender. He's a good attacking defender
12:02
too. We can't get you points on this
12:05
non foresting. That's a little bit dynamic up
12:07
front. He's going to have a lot of
12:08
people to aim for, whether it be runs or crosses into the box.
12:12
It's all the world whether or not he gels with this thing.
12:15
Yeah, I think that is the appealing part of it, that he is
12:17
an attacking defender, so he's going to have opportunity to get
12:21
some assists and both in the box as well.
12:25
Yeah, I think we're all aligned there then.
12:27
Keith, can I nominate one more player?
12:30
Of course, who you got? Thomas Parte roster only 39% two
12:37
games, both of them 11.25 and 14 points.
12:40
He had the he didn't have a lot of fantasy points last game
12:44
against Phil until he scored that goal, which was a beauty,
12:47
but he's only rostered 39 points.
12:49
I know they have that Spanish player coming in.
12:50
Is that someone you guys think is worth the put the waiver
12:54
claim in? Palsy.
12:57
I'm, I'm, I'm. Why?
12:58
I don't know why you had to bring him up.
13:00
Oh so someone put up with claim for a party I.
13:03
Don't know. I don't know why you had to
13:04
bring him up. It's a pokey party.
13:06
It's a pokey party and you put your pooping all over my party.
13:12
And just and just going for a waiver clean on on top a party,
13:16
is that what that means? Yeah.
13:17
Yeah, basically means that he's a he's had a good couple games.
13:19
I've I've watched both Arsenal games the last two weeks and
13:24
he's actually looked really good in that, in that midfield.
13:28
He hasn't judged like what he he got like 2 double digit games, I
13:33
believe both from the teens. He's getting tackles won, he's
13:38
getting balls in key areas. He's doing really well.
13:41
And you get a lot. Even the game, he obviously got
13:43
the goal in one game, so it's huge.
13:44
And the game he didn't get a goal, he had four key passes.
13:47
Yep. Eight points, three classes,
13:49
yes. So he's doing a different way,
13:51
different ways of scoring. It's not just one way.
13:54
All that being said, I think there's other players I'd be
13:56
more interested in strictly because Arsenal still linked to
14:00
Marino. He's come in and historically,
14:04
even though last year there was a little bit of a deviation for
14:06
this, historically that position hasn't generated a lot of
14:10
points. Yeah, so I agree.
14:13
I agree, but Marina won't stop straight away I don't think.
14:18
Yeah, yeah, fair enough. So you're thinking maybe it's
14:20
like a another week or two you need, you need someone for this
14:23
week. I mean, it's against Brighton.
14:26
I don't know. I I think there's just better
14:28
options in the midfield personally.
14:31
And I have a question for you. So when you made this waivered
14:33
list, did you not include party on purpose because you also I've
14:38
OK got it. Yeah, I was about to say.
14:40
It 'cause I added them on my notes so and you so went.
14:43
Problematic. I'm not like, I'm not like
14:46
Keith. Why what I'm I'm always my
14:48
waivers are always on point. I don't I don't hide, I don't
14:51
chat away. You guys have sniped stuff off
14:53
wave the Office episode before? No, no, have we?
14:58
Yes, never. Absolutely.
15:00
Why would we do this then? Why are we even doing a podcast?
15:03
Because I'm a generous. I'm a generous lover.
15:05
That's fine. I'm sorry, didn't you in the
15:09
role? And Fabio, you stopped them
15:11
right before me because of the podcast and they're the draft.
15:14
There's a factor. There's a factor.
15:17
It happens. Well, we're all stealing from
15:20
each other. But we're all stating for each
15:22
other. Is that what you just said?
15:24
What's that line? Good artist imitate, great
15:26
artist steal. Yeah, you still you still old
15:29
egg art. Yeah, although I traded that.
15:32
That was daylight robbery right there, and that was daylight
15:36
robbery. I've already lived that down.
15:37
I feel like it was such an intense trade that generated.
15:41
I think there was probably 300 messages in the chat that
15:44
morning after that trade went down.
15:45
I started. Yeah, you, you wrote.
15:48
What the fuck just happened? Yeah, that's what I wrote in
15:51
everyone fucking do. Sure way.
15:53
The crazy thing is that Keith didn't even add him in our other
15:57
league, in our ten team league. I know I still picked him up.
16:00
He was just sitting there. Not even our waivers.
16:02
I just added him just free and clear.
16:05
That's a little thing. Keith thinks of him a little.
16:09
Yeah, no comment. No comment.
16:12
All right. Let's get into next week's
16:14
matchups, guys. OK, let's go.
16:15
First one, our Silver's Brighton I are we thinking Martinelli is
16:20
going to be benched finally in this in this game, I thought.
16:22
We, I thought we benched last game.
16:24
Didn't get benched. Don't know.
16:28
Do you play trust hard against his old team?
16:31
I would. I fucking would.
16:34
But yeah, we'll see. I'm not sure this is the game
16:38
we'll bet on. I don't think so.
16:41
No, because these are two teams that are on form right now and I
16:44
don't know who's going to be who or if it just turns into a draw.
16:48
So that's kind of my next thing. Like Bryden, Shrilly can't win,
16:51
can they? Can they, can they?
16:53
They could. They didn't play good football,
16:56
honestly. Like like Mentor on the right
16:58
has been very good, very strong. He's a lot stronger than I
17:01
thought he was going to be. You got in Cecil coming off the
17:04
bench that lights it up. They've got a pretty good squad.
17:07
I probably. Shouldn't have traded Mentor, I
17:10
traded him away already. And so.
17:13
That. Yeah.
17:14
That might have been a mistake. Good.
17:18
The one thing I would say is Arsenal going back to last year,
17:22
I think they have this like insane streak of not giving up
17:24
goals at the Emirates and the game is at the Emirates.
17:26
So that's they're pretty difficult to score on there.
17:31
OK, that's that's a good streak. I like that.
17:32
So that makes that makes that a little more confident.
17:35
What about haverts? Are we?
17:36
If he has another dud this week, are we?
17:38
You start to get worried about him again.
17:40
No, because he did that last season too.
17:44
I mean, yeah, but I just like the you're just looking for a
17:47
little more consistency from a guy you got in the third round.
17:50
Yeah, no, I hear you. But I think it's not going to be
17:54
every single game. Yeah, but you can't go 26 and
17:56
one. Yeah, you can't go 26 one.
17:59
One as well. I was so happy because I drafted
18:02
lose Diaz right before haverts and last week I was upset.
18:07
I was like fuck, why did I do it?
18:08
Why did I go with haverts, Go with my gut.
18:10
But that's just I'm so happy this week.
18:12
That's what I'm saying. So much can change in a week.
18:16
That's the beautiful thing about football.
18:17
You could be, you could be a bum one week and you could be a
18:20
freaking God the week after. So we're just going to have this
18:23
way and see. I think so much of this is way
18:26
and see, you know, so much of this game is way and see, but I
18:29
think so much of us knowing when to move to like knowing when to
18:32
when that is changed. And I I think I probably
18:34
wouldn't make any dramatic decisions if he has another dead
18:36
next week, but I'd be getting a little concerned.
18:38
Well, then you start thinking about after next after this
18:40
week, if if they are, if he doesn't get anyone because then
18:43
you've got you go have a look at your other options if you have
18:46
upper options. Yeah, all.
18:48
Right, next game, Brentford versus Southampton.
18:50
Is Brentford getting a clean sheet finally?
18:52
I feel like they're they're kind of known for being a pretty
18:54
solid defensive team, but they've letting goals in the
18:56
first two games of the season. Is this Is this what happens?
19:00
It's against Southampton. Southampton that you put a
19:03
capital H for the Hampton, yes. Yeah, I did this on my phone.
19:07
I was stepping fast. That's really that's all you.
19:10
That's all you noticed. South.
19:12
Had all this work in and all you noticed was the fact that one
19:15
spelling error. Like it's the Hamptons on the
19:18
East Coast. I'm sorry.
19:19
All right, we're back. Bradford will get a clean sheet
19:22
against Southampton. They look weak up front.
19:25
Small. What's his name?
19:26
Smallbound. Small bones so he he's
19:30
definitely hasn't grown into his man bones and.
19:32
Definitely hasn't grown his man bones and it's too small.
19:34
So yeah, I don't think talent doesn't look good up front.
19:38
Probably honest. They need, I think, what
19:40
Barrettin up front off. That yeah, I think Armstrong
19:43
still injured and then that Broha deal fell apart.
19:46
There was supposed to be a deal with Ipswich where Broha was
19:49
going to earn up. Was the Ipswich.
19:50
I'm mixing it, mate. Never mind mixing up, yeah.
19:53
So they don't look strong enough up front.
19:55
So Bradford should be able to get a clean sheet and I think
19:57
Brent Fish win this guy. And then the other concern,
20:00
Tico, this is kind of the point of towards you is Carvalho.
20:03
Carvalho, he hasn't. He started.
20:05
He played about 10 minutes of the last game.
20:07
They didn't start the first game.
20:08
Were you starting to think about maybe dropping it if you need to
20:11
if he doesn't play again against Southampton?
20:14
Yeah, if he doesn't start that from looking to move him if.
20:17
He doesn't start so even if he gets like 30 minutes.
20:21
Yeah, just based off of my seeding in that league have been
20:25
going to, I need to kind of, I can't have players to hope they
20:28
start, you know, 4-5 six weeks out from now.
20:31
So I wanna, and I like having players that are starting
20:34
instead of coming out and playing like 40 minutes, thirty
20:36
minutes, whatever it is. Yeah, So what if, what if you
20:39
you had the opposite and you had 1-2 games and you had them on
20:42
your bench? Would you consider holding them
20:43
a little bit longer? Asking for a bench?
20:46
Asking for a fit? Yeah.
20:49
Trying to get tips. Who'd you Who would you pick up
20:53
instead of Carvalho? Anyone on Bradford?
20:55
Probably not Jensen. Would you pick up something like
20:58
that? Thomas Party.
21:00
Yeah, Yeah. I think I'd probably, yeah.
21:03
I mean, even I'll do that. OK.
21:06
Everything. I mean, is there anything we can
21:08
talk about Southampton? I think we're, I think we're
21:09
kind of hoping for a Bradford clean sheet here, yeah.
21:11
It's going to be a Bradford clean sheet.
21:12
I don't think they're going to. School all right, Everton,
21:15
Bournemouth next game. This could be interesting.
21:18
It would have been more interesting from your notes if
21:20
Brett Way was playing. Yeah, so Everton has conceded
21:23
seven goals in the first two games and haven't scored a goal.
21:26
Owens No goals scored, seven goals conceded.
21:30
So they just are bad. I think they're going to be bad
21:31
until Braithwaite comes back. And even then, maybe.
21:34
I think Anana. I think Anana has papered over a
21:36
lot of the cracks. He's a really good center bed.
21:38
Big guy, man, yeah, Kind of love those passes.
21:43
I had Bournemouth going down at beginning the season.
21:45
The way I've been seeing Evan, I think I might have got that
21:49
wrong. So I think Bournemouth, even
21:52
without they got that new, what's his name?
21:54
Nielsen. Evan Nielsen that has a
21:57
different name on fan tracks. He has like, he has like seven
21:59
different names. They're all on fan tracks.
22:01
He's Yeah, it's confusing. Yeah, but the guy was seven.
22:04
So seven name Guy. Seven name, Yeah.
22:07
Hasn't looked bad, right? You look, you look decent last
22:10
week. I mean, you didn't have a super
22:11
scoring game in his debut, but I think he looks solid.
22:14
He had some good shots on goal and stuff.
22:15
I think he, I think he was just trying to get acclimated to the
22:17
Premiership. So at least they've got a
22:21
strong, you know, a young, a fresh striker.
22:23
So when Bournemouth is still a decent side.
22:26
So I think Evan loses this game. I'm starting all my Bournemouth
22:29
attackers. I would.
22:31
I'm just. Even the ones on the bench bro.
22:35
I think Semenya might be one of the gems of the draft where he
22:38
was going to where how many points is going to have by the
22:40
end of the season personally. So Sergei, to your point, I
22:42
don't, I don't know if he's top five, but I think he's, yeah, I
22:46
think he's definitely top then. I don't think he he's even
22:50
better than some of the new ones that have come in.
22:51
Like Savino looks better. He's good.
22:53
But Savino, I've I put Savino ahead of him, Salah's ahead of.
22:58
Him, I don't think. It was Savino ahead of him.
23:00
After what I've seen already, what Savino's doing with his
23:02
feet. I don't know.
23:04
He scored, he plays with Man C and that's that's a big part of
23:08
it, maybe top 10. He's the 9th ranked forward
23:14
right now. There you go, top 10.
23:16
Top 10, and I think if you can keep that up, especially if this
23:20
Evan Nielsen guy ends up being solid, yeah, I think it could be
23:23
a good thing. Kind of be good for everybody on
23:24
Bournemouth. I wanna, I wanna shout out
23:27
Dwight. Big deal.
23:28
Someone managing to get like 19 points even though Everton
23:30
didn't score a goal at all. Pretty impressive.
23:35
He's their, he's their main guy. He's the guy that pushed.
23:37
He puts shit into the box. He pushed it into the box.
23:40
Yeah, he puts fucking. He doesn't.
23:41
Doesn't matter what sort of pitches on left, right, middle.
23:44
He's putting something in the box.
23:45
I think from an Italian perspective, he's probably the
23:47
only person I'm starting on Everton.
23:49
Oh, hell yeah. Until further notice.
23:51
Hell yeah. Yeah.
23:54
All right, Excellent. Ipswich Town versus Fulham.
23:57
What do you guys think? Would you guys?
23:59
So Smith Rose scored and Miss Smith Rose scored and you know,
24:02
just didn't do anything after that point which wise he really
24:05
got a goal like the 1st 10 minutes and then that was his
24:08
point total by the end of the game.
24:10
I'm going to say it like he was in the he was in the Arsenal
24:13
team, He came up for it. He just, he looks like he just
24:16
sees pedestrian pace around the front of the box, back and forth
24:20
between that and the halfway line.
24:22
Doesn't really do too much with the ball, doesn't really make.
24:25
He doesn't take risks. He doesn't take risks.
24:28
I think he's a assist or goal dependent midfielder because
24:33
he's not a 10. He's not saying that.
24:37
He's not. Tikka what are what are your
24:38
thoughts? I think he's a player that you
24:41
need to have some patience, new team, new system.
24:44
He did score a goal which is obviously huge and you were
24:50
praising how good Parte was. If you take out his goal, I
24:52
think he had like one or two points before scoring that goal
24:54
as well. So midfielder, sometimes it's
24:57
tricky, but I for him I think I would, I wouldn't even look to
25:03
trade him or drop him. Difference is Paul, he plays,
25:07
he's playing on also team where he's going to get a little extra
25:10
points here and there. He's playing for Fulham.
25:13
Yeah, that's it. See both sides of that.
25:17
Ipswich, his first two games where Liverpool and Man City,
25:20
they're probably feel like this is the first game where they're
25:22
probably going to be able to really express themselves in a
25:24
different way. Do you guys expect to see
25:27
anything more from them or no? Maybe you know, Fulham, you
25:33
know, if you got remember, Fulham plays really well against
25:35
the big teams. They play like a Championship
25:39
team against the lower teams. They beat the Arsenals.
25:42
They they they probably fight against the Liverpools and all
25:45
them the Aston Villas. But when it comes down to like
25:48
Bournemouth and all that, it seems like a struggle.
25:50
So maybe if we can maybe steal something out of this game,
25:52
maybe a point. So like Leif Davis had a really
25:55
bad charge of the season. I think he gave up a penalty in
25:58
the Liverpool game. He looked pretty bad against
26:00
City. If he has another bad game
26:03
against Fulham, see totally. Are you just?
26:06
Are you cutting and running on that?
26:08
No, actually, maybe I don't have him.
26:11
What's his points been like? Tico?
26:14
-2 against City and then two against Liverpool.
26:18
Yeah, maybe that's zero average. No, it's not good.
26:22
But I think this Fulham game will be the game to judge it on.
26:25
I agree, Tico, what do you think?
26:28
I don't know, this has a making of a trap game.
26:31
For Fulham. Yeah, it's interesting.
26:36
And they're playing at, I don't know their ground name, Ipswich
26:41
Town, so I don't know if it makes a difference or not for
26:43
them, but it's a home game for them.
26:45
But yeah. Feel a lot.
26:47
For some teams at home, it makes a difference, but for a lot of
26:50
those teams coming up, it's just another place to get spanked.
26:53
Port Portman Rd. You don't think it's going to be
26:56
like Luton Town last year without that place was like such
27:01
a hellish place to play that they, they said Nick a lot of
27:04
points. Wasn't even a hellish place to
27:05
play. They didn't win that many games.
27:08
I don't think anyone enjoyed playing there.
27:10
Apparently the field was tiny and it was just rough to play
27:13
with. But they still lost.
27:16
But maybe I see your point. Maybe.
27:18
But it's like the opponents. Yeah, Ipswich.
27:21
Well, Ipswich hasn't been in the Premier League for 14.
27:25
Years. It's 2005, 2005 so. 19, so 1920
27:30
years, yeah, they probably haven't had any upgrades.
27:33
Moving on the next one, Leicester's Leicester City
27:36
versus Aston Villa. Should we have sold Verdi High
27:39
after game Week 1? She can't, But who's gonna?
27:42
Who's gonna take him? He's 38 years old.
27:46
I mean, he scored eighteen goals in the Championship last year,
27:48
but like, I just. This is the game.
27:50
I mean, that was, that's like a story, but you know, for him to
27:53
score the first week of the Premier League, you know?
27:55
If if he scores a goal against Villa and they even if they lose
27:58
you try to sell body if you got him.
28:00
Yeah. Yeah, but this is a game.
28:04
This is a game I think Villa should win.
28:05
It's a bounce back game for them.
28:09
I think if Ollie Watkins doesn't score against this this defence,
28:13
I'll be a little bit worried. This Aston Villa attack should
28:16
be able to dismantle this Leicester team.
28:20
Watkins has been underwhelming. Leon Bailey has been
28:22
underwhelming. Some people might have both of
28:24
them, you know, Yep. I mean, Morgan Rogers has kind
28:28
of been like the lone bride's point in that front three.
28:31
And even that he scored 9.25 in the 10.
28:34
So it's not like he's been like sensational.
28:37
So I think even for all villas like kind of, but there are
28:40
around him. But you see, they're still all
28:43
ghost points though too, you know?
28:44
I mean it's not like he's getting a sis or.
28:46
True. Or clean sheet points.
28:48
So those are actually pretty good points.
28:50
John McGinn. John Mcginn's your boy.
28:53
Yeah, I'm, I'm, I'm kind of cool out of this here.
28:55
And then, you know, you still got kudis.
28:58
Oh wait, that's why I'm sorry you still he's on the left hand
29:01
side for. Morgan Rogers.
29:03
Morgan he's, I thought he played in the middle.
29:05
He kind of plays on like middle left.
29:06
They play. They play like asymmetrically,
29:08
you know? They got they got very good
29:10
attack and they got some good, good things coming off the
29:12
bench. Who's what Barclays been coming
29:16
off the bench and you know, things like that so.
29:20
Yeah, I think there's, I think this is this is like a get right
29:23
game for their attack, for those attack.
29:26
It has to be. Yeah, I'm going to be.
29:29
I mean, Bailey, I'm being patient with Bailey.
29:31
Bailey. And so.
29:32
But I can't believe I listen to you.
29:36
Can't believe I I can't believe I drafted him.
29:38
I can't believe I snaked him from you.
29:39
Well, you. Just might pick them.
29:41
You sure just left them to me. My results would have been any
29:44
different in this league. True.
29:46
Do you got any thoughts on this game?
29:51
No, I think Villa will definitely be in our upcoming
29:54
parlay to win. I like it.
29:57
OK. Next game, Nottingham Forest
29:58
versus Wolves. The Forest attack looks pretty
30:02
good. I think Calvin Lutsen and Joy is
30:03
starting to regain kind of that form that made him seem so
30:06
exciting. Before that, he had that really
30:07
gnarly injury and Chelsea sold him for literally pennies.
30:12
Chris Wood's been solid. We talked about Morgan gives
30:14
White, you know, he lost episode, he got a goal.
30:18
You know, Elenga I've always really liked.
30:22
I mean, I think it's a pretty fun to talk and I think for
30:24
them, this is about can they keep set pieces out and can they
30:27
look solid in the can they be solid in the midfield in the
30:30
back? That's the that's the one
30:31
concern with forest and then wolves.
30:35
What do you guys think? Like other than like Cunha Lars,
30:39
that Larsen Cunha link up that I'm excited to see.
30:41
Is there anything interesting going on there?
30:44
You want to see if Wan can show up if he starts.
30:47
He was pretty quiet last week, huh?
30:49
Yep. So Robbie, if he starts, I think
30:52
it's another one. It's it's with with them.
30:55
It's literally you're looking for Conyer and Lawson.
30:57
They're the ones you look like going to show up.
30:59
But who else is going to show up along with them?
31:01
That's the one you got to look at.
31:02
Lamina. Is it going to be Lamina?
31:04
You know, I mean, they got some, they actually got a very
31:06
talented group of players in that midfield attacking roles
31:09
and you just don't know who's going to show up.
31:11
Yeah, I thought, yeah. I also thought Kunya looked
31:14
amazing. He got lost, obviously the week
31:16
before. He didn't start.
31:17
He came off the bench. But Kunya looked amazing, so
31:20
it's good to see him come back from that injury.
31:22
Yeah, and I mean, he had a goal. He had like a sure goal that
31:25
Koel got a little touch on it, you know, not just to get to you
31:29
could have an even better game. I think this game could be a
31:33
pretty fun. I think this could be this could
31:35
be like the hipster pick of the week.
31:37
Yeah, this could be the hipster pick of the week that I'm not
31:39
even sure I want to pull a bell. Yeah, I kind of agree.
31:41
I don't know even like as solid as not in Forest has looked so
31:45
far, I think Wolves are going to be hungry after that Chelsea
31:48
loss. Yeah, they.
31:49
And they can score a goal. They can.
31:50
Definitely score a goal. I agree.
31:54
Yeah, yeah, I'm not starting like let's I'm not starting.
31:57
I I don't know. I don't feel great about
31:59
starting defenders of this game. I think at Nori at Nori was
32:02
interesting last week. Yes, he may somehow managed to
32:04
get an assist and still finish the game with zero points and he
32:08
was getting he was getting bodied by Maduweke.
32:11
Like he's pretty much he was the he was the cheat code they
32:14
found. He was like, oh, I'll just run
32:15
it at Noi and you know, he just does not want to get close
32:18
enough to me and I can shoot. Fouling, man just kept fouling.
32:22
Yeah, you got a yellow. So I'm I'm curious to see a few
32:25
things. What I think about the thing
32:26
with that at noise, he also got that assistant looks so good.
32:29
So his attacking returns are so high.
32:32
But is that, I mean, is that, is that going to keep him in the
32:35
team? Well, yeah, it could be.
32:36
Just got to make sure Six goals. Don't go, Bosher.
32:39
I think we'll switch to a back three next week.
32:42
You think so? Yeah, I do all.
32:44
Right, let's see. Oh, that'll be interesting.
32:46
I think that Nori at wingback is lethal and.
32:50
Some is tomato back. Tomatoes like not training with
32:53
the first team. I think he has some beef with
32:54
Carrie O'Neill. He might not really come back.
32:57
Yeah, I know that's a problem for them.
32:59
Yeah, that's a problem for him. So it's Matt.
33:02
Matt Doherty playing. What the fuck?
33:05
He did play, but he was limping around pretty early in that
33:08
game. I don't know.
33:10
Well, I'm not. I'm not too concerned with that
33:12
match and I just don't know. I'm going to watch it.
33:14
Just don't know what the school's going to be all.
33:16
Right. XCM, West Ham United versus
33:18
Manchester City. Is this is it finally for?
33:21
Are we finally ready for return of the photon?
33:24
Yeah, but off the bench. You still think he's coming off
33:27
the bench? Yeah, he's coming off the bench.
33:30
But do you think that's just because he's getting his fitness
33:32
back? Yeah, I don't think he's
33:34
anything else. He's just going to.
33:35
He's going to play this game. I just don't think he's going to
33:38
start. If he starts, he starts, but I
33:39
think he's going to come off the bench.
33:40
I think it would also be telling if he's going to start or not
33:44
because there's games midweek as well for the English FA Cup
33:49
though. FA Cup.
33:50
No league, but it's a League Cup.
33:53
League Cup, yeah. So for the League Cup, so it's
33:55
also good chance maybe they could bring him off the bench,
33:58
give him like 20 minutes, kind of get a get this shit together
34:01
and then start him the following week.
34:02
So kind of be the line up there too.
34:04
He wasn't even the he wasn't even in the match chase squad
34:07
against Hipster Challenge. That's what I'm saying, He'll
34:09
have to come off the bench. But like, you know, there wasn't
34:13
reported to be dealing with an injury.
34:15
How does the How does the reporter ask about this in the
34:17
press conference? I don't know.
34:20
People just let PAP get away with it.
34:21
Or maybe there is something, but we just don't get the news over
34:24
here the same. There's a little.
34:27
That's how I scale my news of the newspapers.
34:30
Don't get that over here. Who?
34:31
So if foded for who gets sacrificed, and foded does come
34:34
in, who's who's the one that gets sacrificed?
34:37
Bernardo. Bernardo still there?
34:40
You know you. Think it's that easy?
34:43
It's not that it's that easy, so it's.
34:46
It's that simple. It's that simple, Yeah.
34:49
When you've got that many great players that can, like you said,
34:52
can rotate like you're not going to take out KDB.
34:57
No. He he's not going to play, he's
34:59
not going to play the League Cup game, so you'll rest KDB on the
35:01
League Cup game. And that's, that's the midweek.
35:03
So that's like tomorrow or something.
35:04
Yeah, that's midweek. Yeah.
35:07
And you're not going to, you know what I mean?
35:08
So. And you're not going to.
35:10
Savio's a young spry lad. Doku's a young spry lad.
35:13
You might take out one then, but you're going to put in greenish.
35:16
Fodor is also Yank. Yeah, but I'm just saying those
35:19
two, I'm probably the ones he's going to take off.
35:21
Like Bernardo's a little bit older.
35:23
You want to try to save those legs for further on, and
35:27
Harlan's not going nowhere. So yeah, he's not going
35:29
anywhere. So CC we bet on C this game.
35:33
So then I to that point, are we temporary expectations for all
35:36
the West Ham assets? Yes for this game because you
35:40
always have to against Man City. Yeah, postponed by a week.
35:46
Postponed for a week because you got to think about it.
35:48
The only teams that are going to go at CE is because Liverpool,
35:53
Arsenal and I think Ace Villa went out.
35:55
When I see everyone else does the same thing, they sit back,
36:00
try to play counter attack football and just let Man City
36:02
take them apart. I don't.
36:03
Think counter attack football kind of worked against City last
36:05
year. I mean they they let in a decent
36:07
amount of goals. They let in a decent amount of
36:09
goals, but they still scored. I mean, I would feel pretty good
36:13
about starting Kudos in this game.
36:15
Do you think he's going to be able to?
36:17
I bet you just going to dribble past a lot of players in this
36:19
game. You think he's going to have
36:20
enough chances to do that, get enough opportunities to.
36:22
Dribble, I think so. I'm probably not as keen as
36:24
anyone else on the attack, but I think Kudos is someone I'd be
36:27
very, very fine with. But you kind of have to be using
36:30
your third round pick. But I think I think where I'd be
36:32
a little less fine is in the West Ham defence.
36:35
Like Kilman, we talked about him as like a big Labor wire pickup,
36:38
but I wouldn't be that excited about starting him here.
36:40
Yeah. But at the same time, you know
36:44
the first goal is non negative points, it's from the second
36:46
goal. You also think if you're as a
36:49
West Ham defender, you could have a lot of opportunities to
36:52
dispossessed players and get a lot of clearances.
36:54
So it's an opportunity to get a lot of goals points because you
36:57
would think they're going to be defending 60% of the time.
37:00
Good point, I'll up my bid on Killman for Fab 55.
37:08
OK, next game, Chelsea versus Crystal Palace.
37:11
Can Chelsea continue to be this attacking force that they were
37:14
in the second-half of this game? And you think that was Tiko's
37:18
shaking his head? Tiko's already has that Man
37:20
United doubt in his eyes. I'm I'm not with Tiko on the but
37:24
I'm going to say one thing Friday transfer window, Friday's
37:27
when it ends, a lot can happen. Gwahi could be leaving.
37:31
He might be going to Newcastle. That's that's very strong and
37:34
Newcastle near. I think they near make a good
37:37
marquee signing as they future's still in the air.
37:41
Like you know what I mean? Like these are things that could
37:44
change the game. Chelsea's Chelsea's not getting
37:47
rid of anything they need. Crystal Palace sounds like they
37:50
will be. You know, I mean, I think
37:52
Anderson already went to free in.
37:54
He's at Fulham. He's already went to Fulham.
37:56
Yep. So I think Chelsea wins this
37:59
game. I think Crystal FFC goes down.
38:02
You think they go down? Are you just in this game?
38:04
No, in this game. They lose in this game.
38:07
I I mean, I feel the same way. I, I mean, I don't think it'll
38:09
be a a drubbing, but I think that I think that Chelsea's
38:12
attack is clicking right now and I just don't think that Crystal
38:17
Palace has shown me enough in the two games I've watched them
38:19
play. I don't know.
38:19
I thought they looked solid against Fulham, I mean against
38:22
West Ham last week, But I think I think Chelsea's just going to
38:25
be too much for him. Yeah, I agree.
38:28
Newcastle United versus Tottenham.
38:31
There's going to be goals. There's going to be goals in
38:33
this game, huh. There's going to be a a game
38:35
with goals. I think so and I don't, I, I
38:38
don't know who's going to win. Solanke probably won't be
38:42
playing again. I've heard he's still got a
38:43
slight little ankle injury swelled up after that first
38:47
game. So, you know, I think Odebert
38:50
did very well. Odebert did very well on that
38:52
left hand side, although the fan tracks points didn't really,
38:54
you've only got 4 1/2 if I may correctly.
38:57
But we're having son in the middle, Kulu, son upfront with
39:01
Kulu and Madison in the back. It was very good.
39:05
Don't you're wrong. I don't think Bassoon was going
39:06
to score another goal like that. But we'll see with Tottenham.
39:10
But with Newcastle, you know, you're getting with Anthony
39:13
Isaac, Joe Linton who who I think should have got sent off
39:15
the last game anyway, probably another good player.
39:18
You know what I mean? Like they've all got very good
39:21
attacking threats. It's when not that defence can
39:24
hold through. It's I think it's literally
39:27
going to be a game of defence, like whether what defence keeps
39:30
out the most goals. So it's not like a game of
39:32
defence, like they're both strong defenses, it's the game
39:34
of defence of like which one is, not as which one's worse.
39:38
Yeah, which one's worse? Which one has the worst
39:40
highline? Yeah, yeah, I seriously, Yeah.
39:44
It's an interesting game. I, I, yeah, this isn't a game
39:46
I'm feeling like I don't have any interest in betting on.
39:50
No, no, I can see. But I think there's going to be,
39:53
I think there's going to be goals.
39:54
I think what I'll bet on the over in this game.
39:57
Yeah, we could do that. That it might be fun.
40:01
OK, last game of the week, Manchester United versus
40:04
Liverpool. This is the marquee game.
40:07
It's a big one. Is United in crisis if they
40:09
lose? Absolutely not.
40:11
Many nights are fucking cries if they start fucking Rashford
40:13
again. Oh my God.
40:17
Yeah, then look, look, look, look at him.
40:19
Start right now. You man, you man.
40:20
Korean did. You guys know Rashford has
40:23
doesn't have a Premier League hat trick?
40:25
Yeah, I do know that. Yeah, I know that.
40:27
I got it from the from Ozzy T. So it's going to be interesting
40:29
because I I think the injury to Mason mouth could be beneficial
40:33
because they're not going to put Mason mouth in there like I I
40:36
was surprised to see him in the lineup game in the second game.
40:39
Hopefully Bruno comes back to the position he naturally plays,
40:43
Put in Garnacho, take out Rashford and put in Xerxi who
40:48
cost us the game last week by a fucking.
40:50
Couldn't do anything about that. That was.
40:54
Unfortunate. That was unfortunate.
40:55
Once you slid, you missed. It just rolled inside the goal,
40:58
so you're not in an outside position.
41:00
It's hard to do. Hindsight's an amazing thing,
41:03
mate. But the the other reason I would
41:07
say they're not in crisis because Liverpool is, is at a
41:10
different place than United is. Obviously you're starting off
41:13
the year with a couple of players injured, a lot of new
41:16
players coming in, so whereas Liverpool it's essentially
41:19
basically the same squad or you just have a different striker up
41:21
top you. Just have a brand new coach,
41:24
brand new system, brand new processor line.
41:27
Keith, if you plan on the same team, essentially the same team
41:30
for like, I don't know, 5-6 years, same, you have this
41:33
understanding between the players.
41:35
So even though it's a new system.
41:36
That is the exact same team. Everything's the same there.
41:40
Look at all the line UPS they used last year.
41:42
How? Many of these players were here
41:44
last year. Every single, every single one
41:46
of them, except for Maserati was on the scene last year.
41:49
You know, you sound like you're. Talking to me.
41:52
Yeah, you know, you sound like. Yeah, it's shocking to you.
41:55
Yeah, I know who you sounds like.
41:57
Don't. Don't say that.
41:59
Don't say that. You know what he sounds like,
42:01
right? Yeah, I know how he's.
42:01
My boy Kyle. Yeah, and and the other one that
42:05
begins with ADI? Just called D, sometimes big D.
42:09
You mean Uche? Uche.
42:11
He goes by he goes by Uche. No, no.
42:13
Maybe. Nothing to you for you.
42:16
You sound like you're making excuses for for a team that has
42:19
been around a while and has been together for a while.
42:21
You sound like a team that hasn't spent a couple 100
42:25
million on players. You sound like someone that they
42:29
you guys did win the FA Cup last year.
42:31
You're making what do. You mean you won the FA Cup
42:33
last? Year One of the biggest
42:34
rivalries. That's why I just said you're
42:37
making excuses like you should. You're not a good team, like
42:40
you're in a different place than Liverpool.
42:41
What did Liverpool win last year?
42:43
Oh, they won the League Cup, which isn't as big as the FA
42:46
Cup. This is a big game for
42:48
Manchester. I this is another game.
42:49
I'm not sure. I just don't think Manchester
42:51
wins. I think Liverpool fucking heads
42:53
away and wins like 2/1. I think the only caveat here is
42:57
that when you when United has had their back against the wall,
43:02
they've tenders, they've tend to win.
43:04
You know, that's that's the one thing 10 hog for all his
43:07
failures. So whenever the crisis kind of
43:09
starts to really boil over, tends to nick a result.
43:14
So that like that's there's no, there's no science to that
43:16
because that like every scientific thing I would look
43:18
at, every statistic thing I'd look at would be a Liverpool
43:21
win. Other than the fact that I think
43:23
10 hog senator just is able to pull a rabbit out of the hat in
43:26
these types of games. And it won't be pretty.
43:29
It won't. Let you know it.
43:30
Won't feel good, but he'll pull it out.
43:34
All right? That's my concern.
43:36
Who are you most concerned about from a fantasy perspective on
43:39
these, on these two teams? Is it Darwin Nunez?
43:43
Is it? Darwin Nunez has hasn't been
43:46
stunned. So that's that's all that's
43:48
already, that's already a big issue, so.
43:50
Is it guard Nacho? Coming off the bench, guard
43:52
Nacho coming off the bench, is that worse for me?
43:55
Is that what's worse? At least he's coming off though,
43:57
but he's only getting 2025 minutes.
44:00
Don't get wrong, he should have two goals, but he's only got 1
44:03
because you know, one of his goals was scratched off.
44:06
So he is he's doing his job. So he, in my opinion, he should
44:09
be coming. He should be in the starting
44:12
lineup, should be Rashford shouldn't be there out.
44:18
He should be on the bench, shouldn't.
44:20
Be starting he didn't get 10 AG was starting Rashford so he
44:23
could kind of have hoping he has two good games and sell high.
44:27
He drafted him a fantasy. I'm saying I think Rashford, Oh
44:31
my God, I'm thinking, I'm thinking Rashford does well in
44:34
training and you know, for what they pay him, I feel that's
44:38
another reason might be. About it Rashford's making on
44:41
300 KA week and they're like better figure out a way to make
44:44
this work. Yeah.
44:45
Oh, and then, you know, just not happening.
44:47
It's not happening. I think he's lost his love for
44:50
playing. I think, I literally think he's
44:51
lost his joy. Rashford.
44:53
No, I think he just doesn't. He shouldn't be playing for May
44:55
9 no more. You know the way he should be
44:58
playing PSG. He should, he should have went
45:00
to well, he could have got PSG or if he's going to go to an an
45:03
English, an English club he should go to.
45:06
Honestly, it looks like a Crystal Palace player.
45:10
Takes a He's the he's the type of guy that would never go to.
45:12
I don't think he's ever going to go to another English team.
45:15
You don't think so? I think he'll if you go abroad
45:18
before he went to another English, you should go to.
45:20
Barcelona would love to see him there.
45:23
But yeah, Gun Gun Nacho is the one I'm worried about.
45:27
McGuire I'll be worried about because the lists come on both
45:30
games. And is he?
45:31
Going to get more. It looks like McGuire was kind
45:33
of at fault for letting that ball go through that led to the
45:36
the goal, yeah. I think the big one for defence
45:40
May night is Mazrui. He's been playing really well.
45:42
Let's see if he can do it three games in a row.
45:45
And then for Lilpool, it's going to be, can Luis Diaz and Salah
45:48
just keep going and is Jos are going to be that that they're
45:52
like shadow behind them that's getting all these ghost points
45:54
that you don't even see him doing.
45:57
Liverpool 2 clean sheets, that's very rare for them.
45:59
I think if any, if any, slots at anything, he's kind of tempered
46:02
the the drama of Liverpool. Dude he took off fucking
46:06
Trenton. Trenton.
46:07
Alexander Arnold pissed him right off.
46:09
He's done. He's done that both games
46:10
though. Yep.
46:11
Doesn't feel great as a Trenton or Arnold manager.
46:15
Nope, that feel great. But I also like I can't complain
46:17
that much. He's scored almost 30 points in
46:19
two games. One player I think he was going
46:21
to have a big game is Casa Mira. Why do you think that?
46:25
Yeah, why? I think he's going to have a lot
46:27
of tackles. I think he's doing a lot of
46:29
tackles, but then he just. Who makes you stay there?
46:34
He does Liverpool. Liverpool plays down the middle.
46:38
Do. They it doesn't matter if Casa
46:39
is all over the place. No, I don't think so.
46:43
Oh. Man.
46:45
You are full of shit. Yeah, I don't know if I can take
46:47
you seriously anymore. We talk about man, you know?
46:48
Yeah. You that that's like that is
46:49
completely full of shit that is main May United and Real Madrid
46:53
bias what you just said right there.
46:54
Over under 8 1/2 points. Yeah, how many tackles don't do
46:59
that? Tell me how many tackles you
47:00
think you did. I would take the over under 10/8
47:03
and 1/2 I don't want. To I wouldn't take 10.
47:04
Would you take 10? You know, pussy.
47:08
So then I don't think you really believe.
47:09
What are you talking about? Yeah, you don't believe. 8 1/2
47:12
because 8 1/2 is a safe bet. Yeah, it's safe.
47:16
And. Tell me, how many tackles, how
47:19
many tackles do you think he's going to get?
47:21
The tackles that I see with my eyes or the Was that Canada's
47:24
following? No, the ones that count.
47:27
Against one, he got two. The last game, would they play
47:31
Brighton? He got three.
47:33
So he's averaging 2 1/2. OK, so will you you guys say 3
47:36
tackles, so you're saying 3 tackles?
47:40
Yes. The over under 2 1/2.
47:42
So if it's under 2 1/2, Tico wins, it's over 2 1/2.
47:46
No. If it's over 2 1/2, he wins.
47:49
If it's under 2 1/2, I win. If he starts, OK.
47:53
Noted. Oh my God, let scratch it.
47:56
Let's go to the real money. Let's go to the real bit.
47:58
Yeah, let's go to the. You have to, You have to believe
48:00
that he's going to start. Yeah, I'm not.
48:02
I'm not the horse, just putting. The light down.
48:05
Just put your just put your shit in.
48:07
Just put your shit in. Anyway, you don't want to seek
48:09
your claim like how I did with Bradford, like how I did with
48:12
Brighton last week. You know he doesn't be willing
48:13
to stick your neck out. I don't and I'm I'm not.
48:16
I'm done with him. Let's move on to the big boys.
48:18
Down with him, down with him. Oh yeah, big boy bat time for
48:22
it. So let's let's limit to three
48:24
games, right? That's kind of weird.
48:25
Yeah, I like it. Yeah.
48:26
Yeah, yeah, that's that's a big win.
48:28
A big win last week. Three teams now.
48:32
Big win last week. What's about being smart?
48:34
Because last week was the sure thing.
48:36
This week we, we, we already said we've been a few of these
48:38
games. Villa.
48:39
So Branford. Branford.
48:41
Southampton. Wait, Tigo, didn't you say you
48:43
had a lock for us? No, I just, I just made like a
48:46
seventeen. Oh, that's right.
48:49
Oh man, I was kind of ready for you to hear what your lock was.
48:53
OK, I'm pulling up the thing right now on the the betting
48:56
thing. Brentford, Southampton.
48:59
So Brentford, Bournemouth. Evan Bournemouth.
49:02
Yeah, breakfast -135 so I'll add that to the bat.
49:05
Yeah. Bournemouth I like, plus 160.
49:08
Yeah, I think that's a good one. Yeah.
49:10
Bournemouth plus 160. Villa versus Luster.
49:14
Phyllis -130 OK. Because then all the other games
49:19
I don't really want to touch. Those are literally the three
49:23
games I'm looking at. The only other one is Fulham
49:25
versus versus which, but I'm not sure the good.
49:27
Thing about that game, man, every doesn't matter who wins or
49:31
a tie, everything is in the positive.
49:32
So that's going to add a lot. So if we do full and versus zip
49:35
switch, that's plus 130 full of wins.
49:39
I like that that so on the switch so.
49:41
I have a. Then should we throw in?
49:45
Then do we throw in matches the city versus West Ham 2 just.
49:48
Yeah, we always throw in man, See.
49:51
So we have. We have.
49:52
Villa. We have Villa.
49:57
City. Villa Bournemouth I'm.
49:59
Confident it's two losing teams. Bournemouth is in a losing team.
50:05
No, they weren't last week. No, they have two ties.
50:08
Yeah, two ties. It's better.
50:11
Than two losses and they've let in less goals in seven.
50:15
So I have a three team, partly that is paint plus 469.
50:18
If we put City, Fulham and Villa that is paint plus 469.
50:24
Just those 3. Let me see what it does on mine.
50:30
So I get rid of Bradford, get rid of Bournemouth, I'm getting
50:35
plus 476. And I think that's a pretty safe
50:40
bet. We could add another team if you
50:42
guys want. So that's betting that's risking
50:44
tend to win for you. So it just doesn't doesn't hit
50:46
the same. Then tend to win one.
50:48
I need that. I need that.
50:49
Like that big hit, you know, not joking.
50:51
We don't. We're trying to be safe here.
50:54
I'm going to. I know what it's going to look
50:56
like but I want to see you dude. Add a wolves on there.
50:59
I'm not doing that, no. I'll do it for this, but I'm not
51:02
going to do this in the thing I. Guess forest.
51:04
Becomes. It becomes 1889.
51:06
It goes from forest something to 18.
51:09
See his face? I actually like what we did.
51:12
I think it was by accident where we had a bunch of teams on
51:14
Saturday and then one team on Sunday.
51:16
So give us the option to hedge or if you want to, you know,
51:19
cash out so we can look at the Sunday games that are like.
51:24
Because right now we have a, we have a Saturday afternoon and
51:28
then three Saturday mornings, three Saturday mornings and a
51:31
Saturday afternoon. But the Saturday afternoon, the
51:33
Sunday games. Are Chelsea, Palace, Newcastle,
51:36
Topham, United, Liverpool. All three of them are pretty.
51:39
Yeah, I don't, I, I'm not worried.
51:40
Let's, let's just, let's not think like that because I think
51:43
that that might mess this up more than.
51:44
Anything but if we add Chelsea becomes plus a 25.
51:49
I'm not. We're not out anymore.
51:51
Got it. We agreed.
51:51
Three games. Three games.
51:53
Let's let's stick to what? Stick to what we said.
51:57
I don't. I don't like the I don't like.
51:58
The So it's Villa full level. City.
52:01
Is that what we're doing? Yes, I like, I like the first
52:03
one we did. With five teams.
52:06
The Brentford, Bournemouth, Villa Plus. 2500 + 25 O 9 so
52:12
it's a five team parlay. Yeah.
52:15
Because we're gonna, once we lose, then we'll go back to
52:17
three until we're winning. You know, it's like a blackjack.
52:21
You can't lower your bets if you're hot on the blackjack
52:23
team, though. Yeah, Let's see.
52:25
Yeah. Yeah.
52:25
OK. Yeah.
52:27
Yeah. Yeah.
52:27
Yeah. Yeah, Yeah.
52:28
You gotta that that totally makes sense.
52:31
OK. Glad we found out.
52:32
I'm glad we found some logic to break our promise to each other.
52:36
Glad we. I'm glad we were able to, like,
52:38
do some mental gymnastics to bend around that.
