Transcript
- 0:00Hello and welcome to episode 101 of Dropped Offsides.
- 0:03I'm with Tico Enzo, my name is Keith.
- 0:05And today we are getting very close to drafts.
- 0:09So we're going to give you guys some predictions.
- 0:12We're going to give you guys some kind of hot takes or it's
- 0:15not going to be a long one or we're just going to cruise
- 0:17through it. It's it's almost that time,
- 0:18guys. It's almost that time, so not
- 0:21panic. Think about it next time this
- 0:25week I'll be beating on Who is it.
- 0:28Just give me the lid, Derek Coming for you, Derek want to
- 0:31know? Just peeing on him.
- 0:34This time next week, right? This time next week.
- 0:35So we're recording on Friday. This time next week it'll be
- 0:37games. That is pretty exciting.
- 0:41Yeah, I can't wait, man. It's been, I know it's only like
- 0:43a short summer and it was still football on, but there's nothing
- 0:46like regular season for me. Love the regular season until
- 0:49you know, you're down in 17 place and shitting yourself.
- 0:52But besides that, like, it's pretty fun.
- 0:55I was successful. Oh yeah, real quickly.
- 0:58Do you guys have any like pre draft, pre draft strategies?
- 1:01Any like routines you do anything to let people know
- 1:04about? I, I sit down on some incense, I
- 1:09have Buddhist little chimes going off.
- 1:14Then I meditate for like an hour before and then I don't because
- 1:19I've done all that. I don't prepare for it at all.
- 1:21And then I just, and then I just panic through the whole fucking.
- 1:25Draft. Mine is.
- 1:26I cannot do it on the phone, I have to be on the desktop.
- 1:28Yeah, I I would agree with that too.
- 1:30Yeah. But you have multiple screens
- 1:32because you think you're fucking the matrix and your tank from
- 1:35the. Matrix I have multiple screens
- 1:36as well. I I'm looking at 3 screens right
- 1:38now. So am I.
- 1:40I've got one screen. I have two of the screens, but I
- 1:42don't have them. I think this year my, my main
- 1:45strategy going in, it's not a routine war strategy.
- 1:47It's just I'm going to be really fluid, very like.
- 1:50Go with the flow. Be water.
- 1:51Go with the flow. Be water.
- 1:53Yeah, this guy I'm not going to like, I'm not I'm not really
- 1:55subscribing to like that. I have to get a forward in the
- 1:58first two rounds or I have to like need to make sure I load up
- 2:00on midfielders. It's like whatever comes to me
- 2:02that I think is the value I'm going to just get.
- 2:04I don't know, just I don't know. OK, let's just leave that.
- 2:08But OK, so the other thing news and notes, guys, there's been
- 2:13some there's been some big news. Cesco has officially gone to Man
- 2:17United teaching. How you feeling about that?
- 2:19Love it. I fucking love.
- 2:20It Do you love it? Yeah.
- 2:23Where do you think he where would you feel that will draft
- 2:25him? First Fister and I'll take him.
- 2:28You think he'll be there? I.
- 2:29Don't think he'll be there, I think 3's a little bit of a
- 2:31reach but at the same time if he's available at 3rd and I
- 2:35don't have a striker I might just depending who's on the
- 2:38board I might go for him. Let's let's be honest, there is
- 2:40a ton of strikers right now. Yeah, there is a plethora.
- 2:45And if Jackson goes somewhere, which we're pretty sure he will
- 2:47and probably send the premiership, that's just another
- 2:49added one on there even though he's been there.
- 2:52What? OK.
- 2:52Tico, Anthony, Alinga or Seska? Seska, this is going to stop
- 2:58week in, week out. You.
- 2:59Fail. I think Eli is going to start
- 3:00too. I don't think he's going to
- 3:02start straight away. You don't think so?
- 3:05Yeah, you've said that before. Yeah, I don't.
- 3:07Think he's going to stop straight away unless they change
- 3:10the formation. I don't think he stops straight
- 3:12away. And if, if Isaac leans, then
- 3:16maybe he starts and then they, maybe they, they play like the
- 3:19invite winger thing that we've done before.
- 3:22I don't know, I think they're midfield is like pretty defense
- 3:26heavy. Robust.
- 3:28With Joel, Anton, Bruno, so I think they need to maximize like
- 3:31the attacking players on the wings and obviously up top,
- 3:33especially with iStock leaving. So I think Ilanga will get a lot
- 3:38of playing time, but again, I will take Sasko because he is
- 3:42going to be the number 9. His position will be solidified
- 3:45and like I told you guys, he's going to score Bangor after
- 3:47Bangor for the Instagram real life watch.
- 3:51OK, Pedro Netto or Cesco? Cesco.
- 3:54Cesco OK. The Chelsea, the Chelsea winger
- 3:57situation is another like shot, shot until like maybe like week
- 4:005 or 6. Do you have an idea?
- 4:01A game? All right, Akatika or Cesco?
- 4:04Cesco. Whoa.
- 4:07Whoa, yeah, I. Was thinking more Ekatika
- 4:09because. Where is Ekatika even going to
- 4:11play he's. Going to play up front.
- 4:13What if Isa goes there? Where is he going to play?
- 4:16Isaac's not there yet. Don't do what I do with Luis
- 4:18Diaz, a pistol chief. Answer my question.
- 4:21If Isaac goes there, where is he going to play?
- 4:24He won't. He's got a bench and he'll play.
- 4:27He'll have like, you know, come off with 1520 minutes here and
- 4:30there if. Any playoff the laughs.
- 4:32He could playoff the laugh, too. But wouldn't you play what's
- 4:34there? So he's going to be this.
- 4:36Year's not if he's behind the striker.
- 4:38Yeah, he'll be this year's. Next year.
- 4:39But then where's? What does that make Gakko?
- 4:41Just chop liver? Well, he's back up.
- 4:44OK, what about? What about then?
- 4:46What about Dom Solanki or Cesco? I'm.
- 4:51I'm biased, but not really. I'm I mean I'm obviously taking
- 4:54Dom solanki. Yeah, I'm taking Solanki.
- 4:55That's not that obvious. It is.
- 4:58Solanki was pretty disciplined. Last year, look, he was totally
- 5:00disappointed last year, but he's.
- 5:01Still scored goals. He's also done it.
- 5:04Before and this is a different cell.
- 5:06He scored nine goals. He.
- 5:08Still score goals. The year at Plymouth he score
- 5:10only score nine goals. No, he scored. 194000HE score
- 5:13nine yeah, but you could also make that like 19 goal year,
- 5:17like a one off because before that he scored six goals and
- 5:19three goals when he was started on a regular basis.
- 5:23Cesco. Wow.
- 5:24OK, so you're, you're talking, you're talking early to mid
- 5:28third round, you're going to you're going to be taking Cesco
- 5:30if you need, if you need a striker.
- 5:32Yeah. OK.
- 5:33He's a six foot 50. My God, how tall was Hoyland?
- 5:38Runs like a gazelle. How tall, how fast was?
- 5:41Hoyland, he doesn't have a shot like a hammer.
- 5:43OK, I don't want to get I don't want to get 2 down this.
- 5:45Hoyland was only 6 three. OK.
- 5:49So Nico Jackson, if he goes to Newcastle, that's pretty
- 5:51exciting, right? We can agree, I think from a
- 5:53fantasy standpoint, I know. He doesn't like him as a player
- 5:56or a human being that's quoting him.
- 5:59I said that yes, you did. I think I don't know if he said
- 6:01it as a human. Being yes, he did.
- 6:02I remember it was like. I didn't realize I hate ran that
- 6:05deep but OK. What about this Grealish news?
- 6:09So there's rumors Grealish going to Everton.
- 6:12I've got a feeling if he goes to Evan, I really like it.
- 6:17If you look at we'll get into it.
- 6:18I've got him on one of my things down, down below in the notes.
- 6:22I think we might be able to. He's only 20.
- 6:23He's still 29. I don't forget that.
- 6:25He's still in his 20s. Well, he's in fine.
- 6:27Like we get the old Grealish from old, you know what I mean?
- 6:30Like he's down on a Sunday having pints at the pub and then
- 6:33playing on Monday night. He's going to be fucking great,
- 6:36man. It's going to be a savage.
- 6:37This year is the older you got, the harder it is to do that, the
- 6:41harder it is to be that guy, the older you got I'm.
- 6:43Sure, but I'm sure he's still got it.
- 6:44He's a lad. Do you?
- 6:45Guys want to know where he went in in the in the drafts that I
- 6:48just completed for this league with a 7th, 7th round.
- 6:53Yep, you go 7-8. Oh, that's that's the tool
- 6:56that's still ugly. And feels a little crazy,
- 6:59doesn't it? Yeah, I.
- 6:59Thought it was going to be crazier though.
- 7:01But you know, I'm hoping, I'm hoping Tom swoop in.
- 7:04Nah, I'm signing. It I saw that there, there I saw
- 7:07that. I saw those those rumours as
- 7:09well. Yeah, that'd be very
- 7:10interesting. I hope Tom swoops in and and
- 7:11Levy gets in and says, hey, do you still want to play Champions
- 7:14League football for a year? I mean, I think for Grealish, I
- 7:18think that is an alert. You know, I think it's probably
- 7:22a big and there's. Sun going there's a gaping hole
- 7:25on the left hand side so. But do you think Grillish wants
- 7:27to play Champions League or he wants less games?
- 7:30He wants less games so he could party more.
- 7:33I don't. Know I've always said he wants
- 7:35to play football like now he's now he's won everything.
- 7:38Like now he's, he's just trying to.
- 7:40I feel like as a player you want to prove yourself as a player
- 7:42again as that player used to be. I just think he's, I think he's
- 7:45a big fish, small pong guy. I think he does well as the
- 7:48Talisman of a team I think every team would be more suited for.
- 7:51Him, he was great for Man City that one year or two years.
- 7:55Even that like was how was he like he was just really he was.
- 7:58I don't even think you could say good great.
- 7:59I think you could say he was pretty good, but I don't like
- 8:02great would maybe be like what was what were the numbers like?
- 8:05Was it? I got to Mario, but well before,
- 8:09before he went to Man City. I got his number before he went
- 8:11to Man C because the year on 20/22/23 I think he scored like
- 8:14nothing, 85 points or something. I think it was injured.
- 8:18Yeah, here's it. But like the times before that
- 8:20420 point five, 452.2 in the 19. Oh damn, so that's higher than I
- 8:24thought, so OK. That was in 20/21 and
- 8:2619/19/2000. 19 OK, OK, so maybe that was a little wrong.
- 8:30OK, any, any other news and notes we want to talk about?
- 8:33There's been a bunch of transfers.
- 8:35Was it Tottenham defensive midfielder?
- 8:38Probably you know, Tottenham, we talked about that last.
- 8:39Week, so that's going to be key for the defense, honestly.
- 8:42Yeah, we talked about that last week.
- 8:44What else? Oh, the striker at Aster Villa.
- 8:49Yeah, that is wild, just in the sense that I feel like Ollie
- 8:53Watkins just can't catch a break.
- 8:55Yeah. And we already know how Henry
- 8:57feels by him. He's not scared to drop him so.
- 9:00The way Henry feels about Ollie Watkins is like, Henry's in like
- 9:03a polyemorous relationship with everyone.
- 9:05And Ollie Watkins, it's like he's willing to, he's willing to
- 9:08swap at any moment. Yeah, So that'll be interesting
- 9:11for Villa. They finally this on the
- 9:13transfer market. So what else happened?
- 9:18Darwin Nunez got his transfer out getting paid like 5 bag 500
- 9:22bags a fucking week. Did you guys say, do you know
- 9:25that Darwin Nunez has like 66 goal contributions and like 92
- 9:28starts or 92 games? That's like not bad.
- 9:30I think Nunez is kind of like Jax.
- 9:33Or because of the misses are bad people clown on them.
- 9:36They're the misses are not bad. They're like, fucking terrible.
- 9:40Yeah. Did you guys see the clip of him
- 9:41talking, like doing an interview, Tim and Luis Diaz,
- 9:44where they. Oh, yeah, just like Saudi,
- 9:46Saudi, Saudi. That's not what you're saying.
- 9:50So I'm on Fabrizio's Twitter page just kind of going the
- 9:55latest news to see if we missed anything, man.
- 9:58You open the door for holding to get transferred out and then
- 10:02some Chelsea talk and Kuko and Nico Jackson are going to leave
- 10:05either on loan or sell them. And also Garnacho Keefe.
- 10:09I just try that. Going Nacho, Yeah.
- 10:11Nacho Chelsea is starting to heat up.
- 10:14I think it's a good, it could be a good move for Chelsea.
- 10:16I think we need like one more. Hasn't it already gone through?
- 10:19No, it's not already gone through.
- 10:20It's just it's like, sorry, it's starting to advance.
- 10:22But like Jamie Gittins played today on on Friday the 8th and
- 10:26looked pretty good when he came off the bench.
- 10:28I think adding another like pasty winger, you definitely
- 10:30need that. We need a little bit of depth
- 10:31there. We don't really have another
- 10:33left winger. So I think I think Garnacho
- 10:35would be a really good deal, especially on the the money that
- 10:38it's looking like it's going to cost for his age and everything.
- 10:40Like seemed like a great deal and like I, we were kind of like
- 10:44this morning. It's kind of funny because I
- 10:45woke up and chose violence against our Man United friends
- 10:48in the chat. I fucking.
- 10:49Loved it. I, I was kind of just poking up,
- 10:51but at the end of the day, like people are always like, oh,
- 10:54Garnacha has attitude problems. But like, it's really hard to
- 10:56tell at United who has attitude problems because it seems like
- 10:58everyone who leaves there, all the United fans are like, oh, he
- 11:01had, he had attitude. Fucking culture.
- 11:02This guy had attitude problems. This guy had attitude problems.
- 11:05And it's just like, no, I think. At some.
- 11:06Point. You just got to acknowledge that
- 11:08it's there's more going on there than just that.
- 11:10Did I see this right? It's Scott McDonald's on the
- 11:13Palin tour list. Rightfully so, he.
- 11:16Had an amazing season in Napoli. Pretty amazing.
- 11:20The the when you look at the volunteer list from like 10
- 11:23years ago to now, what a fall off.
- 11:24I know what a fall off. Well, do you guys, that's
- 11:27because we're 10 years older. Like I bet you there's kids that
- 11:30are going to look at the volunteer door list from now in
- 11:3210 years and be like, God what a fall off like.
- 11:35So you're saying, are you saying that he's bringing all?
- 11:37Those like our guy. Yeah, that's right.
- 11:40But like even go, I just feel like there's a little bit of
- 11:42that going on. Let's not, let's not be like
- 11:45those old like old man yell at cloud stuff.
- 11:48Right now, to keep it on Chelsea, who was it, the center
- 11:50back that that's not for the year.
- 11:52Oh, like, well, super, super devastating injury for Chelsea.
- 11:55He was a pretty he was a serviceable fantasy asset.
- 11:59But now, yeah, he that's a that's a year ending.
- 12:01That's a injury. I think this was going to be the
- 12:03year where he really like propelled into like, yeah, like
- 12:05global elites attitude. He's been, he's been playing
- 12:07really well for Chelsea last. Year 5, two more center backs.
- 12:10He'd be fun. Yeah, I don't even know if we
- 12:12will. Like we got Hotdo, he can play
- 12:13left center back. We have Fofana, Fofana's back on
- 12:17like training on grass. We have Toast and we have
- 12:19Chalabao. So there's a code by Mariska's
- 12:22sink. It's a priority to get another
- 12:24center back. He did say that.
- 12:25Yeah, for what's the Rizzio Romano's X page and also Rodri
- 12:31the ballonder when he got injured.
- 12:33He will be out until mid-september.
- 12:35I told you. Yeah, and then two other news
- 12:38that the latest news is Real Madrid gave Gonzalez Garcia a
- 12:42new contract until 2030 and Enrich will be the new #9 for
- 12:47Real Madrid. Interesting.
- 12:48Madison's so they're both going to stay neither, neither of them
- 12:50are going to are going to go unlock.
- 12:52Wait, interesting. I got two things.
- 12:54Oh yeah, that's the other big one.
- 12:55Madison's out for six or seven months.
- 12:57What's the entry ACL? Same year.
- 13:00And then did we hit this is we're going to go La Liga again,
- 13:04Lamin Yamal and Levandowski, you hear about that or did I see see
- 13:09that wrong? Asking my brothers Doping.
- 13:12Dope. Do it.
- 13:13Doping No. Check it up.
- 13:15Like, I don't know, you might want to Fact Check that one and
- 13:17that one hasn't. Check it out.
- 13:20I think the I would. Love that.
- 13:22But I would too. I know you.
- 13:23I would too. I as a Chelsea fan I hate this
- 13:26on it the problem. Being that medicine being gone,
- 13:29there isn't a true replacement. No, it's really sad.
- 13:32It's really tough for Tottenham like that.
- 13:34The game the other day was kind of hard to watch against Bayern
- 13:36Munich, even though I didn't watch it, because I was hoping
- 13:38Enzo to log in for the Tottenham fan page.
- 13:40He's not even a real fan so he didn't have the login.
- 13:44Absolutely expensive, man. No, I know the the other, the
- 13:48other news is cool stuff. See it's the, the timetable is
- 13:50looking like it's getting further and further out for him
- 13:52to come back to. So just Tottenham's in a little
- 13:54bit of a weird state right now. I wouldn't be surprised to see
- 13:56them pull the trigger on a like, creative player, yeah.
- 14:00They need to greenish or they need another 10s.
- 14:03I got Should we get into this? So we're going to just go
- 14:04through some, like, predictions and stuff now.
- 14:06Are we ready for this? Yeah.
- 14:08So just real quick to kind of put a ball on the Lewandowski,
- 14:12Lemi Yamal, they violated the Champions League anti doping
- 14:17violation rules. So it's not that they got caught
- 14:19for doping. I guess they maybe skipped a
- 14:21test or whatever, but that's what it is.
- 14:23I was. Probably the punishment is that
- 14:25Barcelona, it's probably just like you got a, you got like a
- 14:27pat on the back. No, they'll probably just change
- 14:29the rules for them because it was cheating.
- 14:30Yeah, you act as if they don't change the rules for Real
- 14:33Madrid. Never.
- 14:36Oh, remember when Robert Drew was in debt like 30 years ago?
- 14:39And then what did they do? They sold their training ground
- 14:42to Madrid. And then what did Madrid, the
- 14:43same Madrid do? You.
- 14:46Know, I'm sure. Yeah, you know how they changed
- 14:49the rules? We're so dominant in the
- 14:51Champions League, so they changed the format.
- 14:53Oh yeah. OK guys, Oh yeah, first one
- 14:57we're going to do is who is going to be the number one
- 15:00scoring points per start player of the season with like 20 plus
- 15:05starts? Not like someone that has like
- 15:0610 starts are we? Both me and Sika are the same.
- 15:10We are ice cold with this one. Sika and I both agree it's going
- 15:13to be Cole Palmer coming off the man of the match performance in
- 15:18the Club World Cup final against PSG.
- 15:22He's been, I think, I think it's just he's just there and I think
- 15:25it's kind of funny to see the soccer drop off start to happen
- 15:28in drafts. So I like it.
- 15:31I just think he has all the assets.
- 15:32He can score goals, he can assist goals, he gets T
- 15:35dribbles. He just does everything that fan
- 15:37tracks likes for scoring. Enzo, who do you have?
- 15:41Fernandez, what an interesting decision after what we were
- 15:46talking about last week and you were kind of starting to hit
- 15:48that, that you felt like you might not score as high.
- 15:51Well, I went. After the reason why I made this
- 15:53is because now they have Cesco at #9 so now he has like with
- 15:58Brute with and Gwenbo and Konya. Yeah, they can score goals.
- 16:02One scored 20 last season, the other one scored 19.
- 16:06They are creative players, but they're going to be playing that
- 16:0810 role. But who would?
- 16:09Who did they have to aim at? Nobody, right?
- 16:12Like they had Rashmus and Xerxe fuck all, sorry, not enough.
- 16:16And then with Bruno playing the six, now he's going to have a
- 16:21couple more people to aim at. So those pointless balls he used
- 16:24to kick up to the top of the field, now he's got a couple of
- 16:26people he can pass to. So I feel like he's going to
- 16:29have more trouble. He's going to have less trouble
- 16:30completions, obviously, but he's going to have more crosses and I
- 16:32think he's going to actually have more assists than he did
- 16:34last season. Last season he had eight goals
- 16:36and 10 assists. I think the goals drop off a
- 16:38little bit because you still get penalties and I'm pretty sure
- 16:41you still get set plays, but he's going to get more assists.
- 16:44Yeah. Do you want to take a gap?
- 16:45I mean, again, Bruno's so good. Like, I feel like it's, you
- 16:48know, it's. But do you want to take a guess
- 16:50on his worst season in the Premier League?
- 16:52I was like 400 something points. Wasn't it like in 2020-2021?
- 16:56But yeah, it was the season that Cristiano Ronaldo was there for
- 16:59a full year. So I'm I'm not saying like
- 17:02that's a completely direct correlation.
- 17:04I just like that's where I'm like maybe, maybe like all these
- 17:08attacking a talent ahead of him, He isn't gonna he doesn't have
- 17:10to be like the man as much. He doesn't like step up as much.
- 17:13What I would say on that is when Ronaldo was there, who took the
- 17:15penalty kicks, who took the set pieces?
- 17:19Ronaldo. True.
- 17:19Oh yeah, we don't think Abuelo's going to take some set pieces
- 17:22away from Bruno. Absolutely not I.
- 17:24Don't think so. Absolutely not.
- 17:25OK. Oh, yeah, I like it and it's a
- 17:28good one. It's bold.
- 17:29I like it. And no one, no one's saying
- 17:31that. So fun.
- 17:33Sergey's is Saka. He doesn't have any notes as to
- 17:36why, but I'm assuming it's just the Arsenal connection.
- 17:39Come on man. Star, boy, star.
- 17:43Boy. And then we also Saka Sergey
- 17:46suggested that we also asked ChatGPT.
- 17:49So I went through and asked chat ChatGPT all these questions and
- 17:52ChatGPT said early Holland. And the reason was because he's
- 17:56odds on favorite to be the the the.
- 17:59Top goal scorer. Goal scorer and he generates
- 18:02lots and lots of shots on target and goals are worth a lot.
- 18:05So that's good logic. I don't I don't hate it.
- 18:07I think that's solid. OK, next one league winner guy
- 18:10who's going to come from the later rounds and that will
- 18:12deliver you one round one value. Like examples would be like
- 18:15Bueno and Cunha from last year. So Tikka, who do you have?
- 18:20Cesco, he is everything I want to hold on to be and better.
- 18:25He's taller, he's blonder and he's surrounded by a team that
- 18:30was more complimentary for a striker with Cunha and Buemmo.
- 18:33Obviously Bruno playing more of a path distributing girl this
- 18:36year most likely. So I think he's coming on a team
- 18:39that's more solidified and also he's coming on a team that has a
- 18:41manager that not everyone despises.
- 18:45Yeah, it's got 4 weeks. That's a fun one.
- 18:48Just goes a fun one. That's like that's the the
- 18:51optimism of the United fans before the season starts.
- 18:53You know what, I like to see it. It's really cute.
- 18:55I will. I'm declaring here in the second
- 18:57or third round. If he's available, I'm taking
- 18:59him. 2nd. Or third, third.
- 19:02Probably not Second third round. If he's there, I'm.
- 19:03Taking third again backtrack real quick.
- 19:06What? Pick Are you third?
- 19:083rd. I don't think he'll be there by
- 19:11the time the third gets back. To you should have been well.
- 19:12No, no, no, no. You'll be able to get him.
- 19:14Probably you'll give him a third.
- 19:15You can have another look. Actually, who knows with our
- 19:18with our job. I just need to survive Derek and
- 19:21Kyle in the 1st 2 rounds. And Thomas?
- 19:24No, Thomas is not going to adjust.
- 19:25Him Spike picked the fuck out of you bro.
- 19:27Everything you're saying, he's taking notes.
- 19:28He's Spike picking you. What's the cussion?
- 19:30Oh. My God, man.
- 19:32Hey Sergey, can you just beep out everything that is
- 19:36unnecessary? So just meet you.
- 19:43OK, I have I kind of cheated. I went attacking full backs.
- 19:46I think Ryan at Nori is a really good one.
- 19:48I think I just think that there is I think the soccer's or the
- 19:52sport is changing and like, you know, tactically and I think
- 19:56full backs are getting really, really advanced and you're
- 19:57seeing that with Pat, you're seeing that with Malik gusto for
- 20:00Chelsea. I just and you you're seeing
- 20:03that with like how much Liverpool invested in full backs
- 20:05getting Pimpong and Kerquez. I think that getting these
- 20:08attacking full backs is going to give you like a.
- 20:11Like extra like half a player as far as points go.
- 20:15And I think it's, I think people are kind of sleeping on that and
- 20:17I think that's going to win people leagues.
- 20:20I agree. I like that.
- 20:23I think you cheated by putting two players in there.
- 20:26Doesn't mean you're going to be twice as right, but I do agree
- 20:28with both those. I like both those players and
- 20:31they they're going what, what, what rounds are they going?
- 20:33Right. I know he's going like in the
- 20:343rd, 4th and Gusto's going like 11, yeah, 10th like.
- 20:38I would've added Jed Spence and. Ed Spence is a great one.
- 20:41We got. We got him in Nate and I got him
- 20:43in our league in like our second.
- 20:44I was just rubbing it in. Again, Oh, tell us more about
- 20:46your other. League, Yeah, yeah, 'cause we
- 20:47want to fucking hear about it. Yeah, screw, screw the nose.
- 20:50I was just talking about your other league.
- 20:52Add the draft word up right here if you guys want.
- 20:54No, no, thank you. You know what?
- 20:56Send it so I could delete the message.
- 21:00OK, Anzo, Anzo, your turn. OK, yeah.
- 21:02So I guess just FY to beat things out, but also when you're
- 21:05beeping things out, beep out whenever they say because.
- 21:08That's just soccer. Horrible.
- 21:11All right, I said greenish. Especially we go to Evan or
- 21:15Tottenham, I feel we'll get the Aston Villa greenish of old
- 21:19dribble, completions, assists, goals, still 29 in his prime.
- 21:22If it rhymes, he will also be sublime. 20/21/2020 season
- 21:28you've got 428.5 points. In the 19 and 20 season you've
- 21:32got 432. What do you mean?
- 21:33Well, heck, can you not mumble? Keep going, keep going, keep
- 21:35going. So I think reelish and he'll be
- 21:37going later like seventh round. Eighth round, I think that's
- 21:40still early, but you can grab like the 8th or 9th and you've
- 21:43got golden play right now. Yeah, he's already creeping up
- 21:46ADP because I think of all these rumors, I think people, I also
- 21:50think people just really want him to like, do well, you know,
- 21:52there's that wish. Like there's a lot of people who
- 21:54like Greeley. Just imagine wishful thing.
- 21:56Just imagine Kudus and Greeley on your wings.
- 21:59Man, that's fucking sexy. Going to be pretty sweet yes, it
- 22:02would be I like it. I mean, I I said earlier, big
- 22:05fish, small pond. I think Greeley thrives, would
- 22:07thrive with us a little bit smaller team where he's a little
- 22:09more the focal point, gets a lot, a lot of touches and he's
- 22:11not as constrained in the pep system and can kind of just be
- 22:14his own kind of creative kind of Dynamo.
- 22:17What do you know? Call us a small planet.
- 22:19Call us like a a a lake that's like a more meandering from more
- 22:24everything you're. More like a tributary or
- 22:26something, yeah. Yes, you know, Keith, you know.
- 22:29Well, because it's, yeah, they're like, it's like a
- 22:31tributary that thinks it's a small pond.
- 22:33It's like, it has like it has like shortened Napoleon syndrome
- 22:35a little bit. Oh, OK.
- 22:37Lovely. OK, Sergei put.
- 22:42We thought Weifer. I like Weifer, Weifer Brighton.
- 22:45I like that too. I think that's the type of thing
- 22:46where I we've talked about in the past, like he's really odd
- 22:51because he plays right back. He plays in the center, he plays
- 22:53in the center of the park. He plays all over.
- 22:54And and that way it kind of reminds me of Pascal Gross where
- 22:57I was like, I was super weary of him.
- 22:59So I was like, I don't really know where he plays.
- 23:00I don't really get it. But then like, he just continued
- 23:03to, like, generate points. And you do at some point, you
- 23:05come around, you're like, OK, this guy just doesn't matter
- 23:07where he plays. He scores a ton.
- 23:08And we from the limited amount we saw from before the last
- 23:11season, you know, he didn't play a ton, a ton of games With the
- 23:14games we saw, he was generating, like, really good points.
- 23:16So makes sense. Yeah, I like it.
- 23:19OK ChatGPT actually thought this was kind of funny because
- 23:21there's not some of that. We would not pick chat.
- 23:23ChatGPT picked Morgan Rogers. I would've picked him I like.
- 23:28You, and this is what ChatGPT had to say, A versatile attacker
- 23:31compared to Musiala, Ronaldo and his mix of power, dribbling and
- 23:35tactical intelligence. OK, that's not a lot.
- 23:37His work rate and physical profile make him a fantasy asset
- 23:39with upside, especially under your metrics which are the fan
- 23:42check metrics that reward all around contributions.
- 23:46I like it. I don't.
- 23:48I think the the player comparisons just are a big red
- 23:50flag that they don't know at all from what they're talking about.
- 23:53It's obviously American ChatGPT. You should have done the
- 23:56European ChatGPT. Is there a difference?
- 23:58I don't know. It feels like there is.
- 24:00Don't say it. Say it.
- 24:01No, no, that's fine. Be racist.
- 24:03Say it. I will not say it.
- 24:07Do not say it. I won't be bullied.
- 24:08If you're if you're waiting this long, you're not saying it.
- 24:10Don't say it. Little word of advice for you if
- 24:14you have to think. Yeah, don't listen to Enzo if
- 24:17you have to. OK?
- 24:18Now, next we're going to go top 4 predictions.
- 24:21So not so much fantasy, but also kind of fantasy because it'll
- 24:24it'll influence. Question, Did you guys put it in
- 24:26order of where you think they're going to come or did you just
- 24:28put it to OK? I'm just curious.
- 24:31Did you? Yeah, I did mine.
- 24:32OK, OK, OK. You can go first time Enzo.
- 24:35I think go back-to-back with all that money invested and it's not
- 24:38just like invested on a bunch of mediocre players.
- 24:40They invested where they needed it.
- 24:42Not they spoke about Trim getting tapped and losing them
- 24:46to Real Madrid, but they tapped all these motherfuckers they
- 24:48got, they shot the moon. Oh, sorry, beep that out.
- 24:52Sergey Frimpong, Kurka's Florian Watts, like Eka TK.
- 24:59They just, they got some freaking Ballers in there and
- 25:02they're young too, so I think they're going to go back.
- 25:05To back, so you have Liverpool first, do you have next city?
- 25:08OK, I don't expect Pep to get divorced again so he's going to
- 25:13do well and he's going to bounce back, but I don't think he's
- 25:15going to have enough. I think Liverpool and C are the
- 25:17ones that are going to be bounding out and they're going
- 25:19to be scoring. They're going to score 85 plus
- 25:21points again this season. Arsenal and 3rd.
- 25:24I think yes they invested in Jockarez but it's his first
- 25:27season. But for them to do to even come
- 25:31in the top 2, they need Jockarez to score 25 plus goals in my
- 25:34opinion. And I don't see him scoring 25
- 25:37plus goals, but I do see him keeping him in the top 4.
- 25:40And then Chelsea, Chelsea was the one I was, I was flip
- 25:44flopping on for 4th. But just going on their form,
- 25:47running on a high, having Cole Palmer and the amount of
- 25:50rotation they're going to have, I feel like they can hold out.
- 25:53They're going to have a little slump in the middle of the
- 25:55season, I feel, and then they're just going to come back like
- 25:57they did last season. Hika, what do you got?
- 26:00I have Man City winning it, Liverpool coming in second, then
- 26:06I have Arsenal. I think Go Chris is not going to
- 26:10be as amazing as people think he is.
- 26:11And then this was between Chelsea and Man U and I had to
- 26:15go Man U and I went Man UI. Don't even think Man U gets in
- 26:20the top five. What's one more place?
- 26:22No, but I don't even think the game all right.
- 26:24So I don't even think they get, I don't think they go ahead of
- 26:27of Newcastle. I don't think they get ahead of
- 26:29Tottenham. Newcastle is a shit show like.
- 26:33The the core of the team is good, but they're they're
- 26:35transfers have been a shit show. Like it's not like it's not like
- 26:38the team, like the team that's there right now pretty much
- 26:40qualified for top four last year, but like they need a they
- 26:42need to add more. Yeah, the E stock thing is the.
- 26:46And the manager said I it's on ESPN that the first game he's
- 26:50not going to play regardless. So they're not playing him until
- 26:53the transfer goes through. And even if he does, it does go
- 26:55through, obviously they lose them.
- 26:56And who's going to be the Nico Jackson?
- 26:59You think Nico Jackson is going to carry team to top 4, top
- 27:02five, top five? Yes.
- 27:05I, I think he could with the right pieces around him, but OK.
- 27:10Oh yeah, I'll go next. So I I was going to go tangent
- 27:13about. Newcastle, but I'm not.
- 27:15Going to not do that because Enzo has to.
- 27:17We're on a short one. I am doing Manchester City
- 27:20first. I think Enzo's point about Pat,
- 27:23he's doesn't have a wife anymore.
- 27:24He's going to spend all his time just focusing on football.
- 27:28It's going to be just, he's not going.
- 27:30He doesn't have to go home. No one's calling him being like,
- 27:32where are you? It's midnight, your son at home.
- 27:34He's just going to be able to work through it.
- 27:35I love it. His kids are getting older.
- 27:37I think his kids are getting close to college age.
- 27:39They're not, they don't really need them anymore.
- 27:41It's just going to be balls to the wall.
- 27:44Manchester City, then Chelsea next.
- 27:46I, I just kind of like think that they're pretty good.
- 27:49I watched the preseason game today and it's like they've
- 27:52literally been back for like 3 days and it's pounced.
- 27:54A leveraging team that's been training for like 3 weeks and
- 27:57like there, there's so many good players on that team, there's so
- 28:00much depth. They're the they're the Club
- 28:03World Cup champions, they're the Champions of the world and I
- 28:07think that second place is very doable for them.
- 28:10Tico you first. Tico, you first.
- 28:12They beat Denhawks team. Big deal.
- 28:15I was like, what? I was going.
- 28:18To say, is that what I was going to say?
- 28:19OK, OK. Next up, Liverpool.
- 28:20I think Liverpool get third. I think very much like Real
- 28:24Madrid last year, when you add some really big pieces like
- 28:28that, it can take a little bit of time to get everything sorted
- 28:31and figure out all those things. And I think Liverpool added some
- 28:36really big pieces and it's going to be difficult for them to just
- 28:39get back like right on that track.
- 28:41I think losing Luis Diaz is really a much bigger deal than
- 28:44people are making it out to be. I think he's just such a huge
- 28:47player for them. I also think losing Sala for
- 28:49seven plus games potentially is it's going to be in like a
- 28:53really crunched period of the window of the time.
- 28:56Could also be like a really big dent to the title and then
- 29:00fourth dive Arsenal. I just think I really like some
- 29:02of their signings. I like to but Mendy actually
- 29:04like them out of like as the depth option for, you know, the
- 29:08other guys. I'm not 100% so poor guys.
- 29:10I think he'll be do well, but I also think they have Kai.
- 29:12So either way, I think they'll be fine.
- 29:14I just don't know. I just don't, I just don't see
- 29:18them winning things. Something trophies are in the
- 29:21future. OK, Sergey, next.
- 29:23Sergey has arsenal, Liverpool and Man City Chelsea.
- 29:27You know what I think it's really interesting that we other
- 29:29than T codes with the man U curveball, we all have the same
- 29:32teams. I'm sorry.
- 29:33Let me let me ChatGPT has Liverpool Arsenal and Manchester
- 29:37City Chelsea, but I think it's interesting that like we're also
- 29:40chalk because the last few years it's been like we like throw in
- 29:42a curveball. You throw in a Villa, you throw
- 29:44in a Newcastle. But I think this year there's
- 29:46there's so much more money that all the big teams are spending
- 29:49that it feels like that top 4. Like, you know, that was like
- 29:52such a thing for a long time, like the big four and then it
- 29:54was the big six and then it was, you know, but like, it feels
- 29:57like that's starting to, they're starting to become a gap again.
- 29:59Yeah, there wasn't the last few years, which is awesome, but it
- 30:02seems like that's kind of shifting again.
- 30:04You know what doesn't fill me a confidence with Sergey's
- 30:07prediction? What he didn't.
- 30:10For capital A, he didn't capitalize, so he he.
- 30:13Wasn't he's not 100% with it. He capitalized LM and C for
- 30:17little messy Chelsea, but also there's a small A.
- 30:21Well, also for the C and city, it's small C so yeah.
- 30:25But so that's really funny and I like that.
- 30:28OK, next one, relegation predictions.
- 30:31Tico, do you have? I have three up 3 downs.
- 30:33Same thing as the last two years last.
- 30:35Two years. Sunderland.
- 30:38Yeah, I mean, I, I, I called up the last two years.
- 30:40I think that's pretty wild to that's happened twice.
- 30:43I think people are getting, I think this is, I think this year
- 30:45old buck, but my personal ones are wolves.
- 30:48Bradley Sunderland. I think Lee's might be good
- 30:50enough to say that. I think that's a pretty good
- 30:52team. I think Sunderland, I think
- 30:54their issue is they spent a lot of money and they got a lot of
- 30:56pieces. And I'll just be interesting to
- 30:58see if they can figure it out in time like the I've I've I've
- 31:01don't doubt that they have the quality there.
- 31:02I just don't know if they're going to be able to figure out
- 31:04that as a team in the time period.
- 31:06And I don't know if Bradley's done enough personally, like
- 31:09enough recruiting. And then Wolves, I just feel
- 31:11like the recruitment hasn't been the best.
- 31:15I like the coach. I think defensively they could
- 31:17be sound. I just don't know if like John
- 31:19Arias is like enough to replace Cuna.
- 31:22I don't know, like Fur Lopez is so young.
- 31:24Like, I just don't know if they're like the team that I
- 31:27just don't know if they have enough firepower.
- 31:28And so do that. I go Bournemouth, Burnley,
- 31:31Leeds. Bournemouth, Really.
- 31:34I said Sunset will stay up because it's exactly what you
- 31:37said. They bought a lot of pieces.
- 31:40They've given themselves the best opportunity with the pieces
- 31:43they've bought attacking wise and they've given themselves
- 31:46some rotation. Bournemouth just lost Zabarani
- 31:50to PSG, so that's one of their cenobacs.
- 31:53He's gone. They lost Carcass, that's
- 31:57another one gone. I think defensively they're not
- 31:59going to be sound. I know they did better last
- 32:02season when after they lost Solanke, but I don't think this
- 32:05is going to be the same field. Then they're going to go down
- 32:07and barely just doesn't have enough.
- 32:09I don't think so. So interesting ChatGPT said
- 32:13Burnley Sunderland lead so chat to be GBT agrees with T go.
- 32:16I think those are the. I also think ChatGPT was like,
- 32:18those are the odds on favourites to go down because obviously the
- 32:21permanent teams are so. Yeah, Bill, what's going to be
- 32:24hot zone? Sergei says we're wolves,
- 32:27Burnley leads, so we're all in the same.
- 32:30So we want to say in bold, pop. Yeah, OK.
- 32:34Bold fantasy predictions. So this is something that's just
- 32:37like a bold prediction that you think can happen.
- 32:39I thought it was very funny that all of ours were for the teams
- 32:41that we support. Oh, no.
- 32:42Except Tigo's wasn't. Never mind.
- 32:44But Tigo, you go 1st. And what was yours?
- 32:46So mine is Isaac will have a drop off if he joins Liverpool.
- 32:51Explain. So I think if he goes play, goes
- 32:54to play for Liverpool with the team, the way the wingers are, I
- 32:58don't think he's going to score as many goals.
- 33:01And I think with most Salah, because it's so concentrated on
- 33:06the right side of it, of him scoring goals, I think he's
- 33:09going to be more, it's not going to be more of a complimentary
- 33:11player. And if you think about the
- 33:13forwards they had, it's always been center forwards that have
- 33:15kind of been passed around and distributed the ball to the
- 33:19wingers, like what's for Menio. So I just think he's not going
- 33:22to have a good of a as good of a year if he leaves.
- 33:25Also, if he stays, like it's kind of hard to go back to the
- 33:29team. You already know I don't want
- 33:31you anymore. You want to go first key if you
- 33:33want me to go. You can go.
- 33:34I saw you wrote. Yeah.
- 33:37No, I'm talking about what he just said.
- 33:39Oh, you, you can. Oh, for that you can, yeah.
- 33:40OK. It's like he's like a versatile
- 33:45#9 I don't think he's a a big man up front, but he can play
- 33:48like a big man up front. He does make the runs of the
- 33:50ball but he also can pull back and take that false mind
- 33:54position which he's done for Newcastle so.
- 33:57You think that's what he's going to do for?
- 34:00I think that's what I think that's what he can do for
- 34:02Liverpool if that's what it has to to what for When you have
- 34:04Salah on the right, he doesn't have, he doesn't have all the
- 34:07pressure on him and he's taking pressure off Salah and he's
- 34:09taking off pressure off himself. I don't think he has a fall off
- 34:12season. I think maybe he doesn't score
- 34:13as many goals. So I still think he scores close
- 34:16to 20, but I think he'll add more assists if he went to the.
- 34:19I think his assistant goal goal numbers are going to drop.
- 34:22Yeah, and if his assistant goal numbers drop, then he's going to
- 34:25have a big drop off because he's very assistant goal dependent.
- 34:28He's very Gax dependent. So I also think to, to Tika's
- 34:33point, I, I, and I totally see what you're saying too.
- 34:36I'm not like, I like, I get exactly what you're saying.
- 34:38Like it's hard to like what a rising tide raises all ships.
- 34:41Like how is he not going to be better when he has Salah and all
- 34:43these players around him? But at the same time, I, I'm
- 34:46also just kind of like, like to my point, I said why I don't
- 34:49think Liverpool's going to win the title is that is that reason
- 34:51too. I think there's a lot of movie
- 34:53pieces and there's going to be a lot of new parts.
- 34:54And I don't think it's all going to necessarily gel day one.
- 34:57And especially like, obviously going off of last year's Liver
- 35:00Liverpool team, you don't see like, you know, some teams like
- 35:03the wingers that are all over the place, they switch
- 35:04positions. Like you never see Luis Diaz go
- 35:07on the right side or most solid go on the left side.
- 35:09So like they're kind of stick to their positions more than any
- 35:11other team from the top tier teams in the Premiership or
- 35:15across, you know, Europe. So I think they're more like,
- 35:17hey, staying like, you know, not staying in your lane, but
- 35:21staying in like your position. So I think that's why he's not
- 35:23going to be going on the wings as as much.
- 35:26You think Mossala wants someone else on the side bringing you
- 35:29the defenders? No, he wants more space.
- 35:31So put them in the box, create some space for him.
- 35:33You know Mossaler isn't a selfish player rival, no.
- 35:36No, he's the greatest. He's he's become a really good
- 35:38sister as well, Aspana in his later years, but Aspana.
- 35:44OK. Andrew, what do you have?
- 35:45Solanke will be a top three goal scorer this season.
- 35:50Doesn't mean we're going to get anywhere close to the top five.
- 35:53It just means he's going to score a lot of goals in
- 35:55pointless games, a lot of tap insurance.
- 36:00What is this? Who wrote all this?
- 36:04I thought you wrote all this. I didn't.
- 36:05Really, I did not write all that.
- 36:09OK, so that says you want me to read it or do you want to read
- 36:12it? No, I think that was just like
- 36:13someone. It was just listening to what I
- 36:15was saying before. Yeah, it doesn't make sense
- 36:17because it says get Nate and do another podcast and see how that
- 36:20goes. It says a lot of happens.
- 36:22Oh, really? Wait, wait, wait, wait.
- 36:24Thank you. Thank you.
- 36:25Well, no, no, no. You're telling us after the fact
- 36:27you should just go get Nate and do another podcast.
- 36:29Let's see how that goes. F you.
- 36:31What the F? See, was it?
- 36:33I think that was just voice recording at some point.
- 36:35And maybe like anyways, I got under our dock and I was, I
- 36:38thought you did that. No, I don't get.
- 36:40I think it's gonna get, I think it's gonna get delete everything
- 36:43else I wrote though it delete it.
- 36:44You'll get a lot of tap insurance because it's very
- 36:46Thomas Frank does a lot of overloading, especially on the
- 36:48wings when they cut into the box and then Solanke will be in the
- 36:52six yard box and it'll get a lot to happen.
- 36:54Yeah, that's a fun one I have. I think Isabel William will
- 36:58finish better than Pedro Netto by Jack Scoring.
- 37:02Because he scored, That's just because he's scored that tap in.
- 37:05Today it was not what happened. It was like a two.
- 37:07It was almost a. Show that happened but also I
- 37:09just think that he in general looked really, really good and I
- 37:12really like the way he played and I really think that him and
- 37:16Cole Palmer like linked up really well.
- 37:18And as much as there's things I really love about Pedro NATO, I
- 37:20think he's better in like a counter attacking system.
- 37:23And sometimes I just feel like we don't play that way that
- 37:26often. And yeah, I just think like over
- 37:29a full season, I could see us about winning that spot at 18,
- 37:32which is crazy. We're talking like elite, elite.
- 37:36And it's exciting. And I don't know like where he
- 37:39that means he goes and drops or anything, but I think it's
- 37:41exciting. OK, any any comments on that or
- 37:44you guys just don't care? Eyes, eyes glazing over and be
- 37:46No, it's just Chelsea winger it. All depends on if he gets
- 37:49starts. Yeah, that's all.
- 37:51Yeah. So if he gets starts, he has a
- 37:55good opportunity. Probably now it's proven, that's
- 37:57all. Yeah, yes.
- 38:00That's why it's a bold prediction.
- 38:02Sergey's Yorkers scores more goals than Cesco.
- 38:06It's not bold. That's not bold at all.
- 38:08That's that's. That's like a given.
- 38:11I think anything other than that would be bold.
- 38:12Yeah, if he said Cesco gets more goals in Yorkers, I'm like, Oh
- 38:16yeah, that's tasty. OK.
- 38:19OK, so that's good. Jokers gets more golds than
- 38:21Solanki. I don't think that's bold
- 38:23either. I don't.
- 38:23Think that's bold, but me saying Solanki's what I mean top three
- 38:26goal scorer is. Me but like it's it's bold and
- 38:29ansos predictions. Solanki's top three.
- 38:31Yeah, but these are these are bold predictions.
- 38:34Yours is. You're saying facts?
- 38:37Yeah, you're saying, you're saying sounds like chop, you're
- 38:39saying like like a chalk opinion.
- 38:41Like, I think people assume that OK, if you like Yokers gets more
- 38:45goals in Holland, then maybe we could maybe we could talk.
- 38:48Next year I have a bold one, OK. Here we go.
- 38:51Go with that. Go go with that.
- 38:52Redo. Oneri wins the starting spot
- 38:56from Otoguard. That's.
- 38:58Our time. There you go.
- 38:59I like our time. Yeah, that's a bold prediction.
- 39:01Who does that? One year.
- 39:02In one year. You know I love.
- 39:05Have you heard the Arsenal fans after the last game?
- 39:07Have you heard how much? How like they got so happy with
- 39:10the last game because they had two kids come on a 15?
- 39:13Year old. And real good.
- 39:15Yeah. Yeah.
- 39:15But now they're saying that these are the the special
- 39:18talents that are coming through. I mean, every club has a few,
- 39:20Yeah, but Arsenal? Just gets full honor.
- 39:22They're like, they're always the next TRRE when they had Thea
- 39:25wilcon blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah.
- 39:27Do wait, do we want to talk about the Wenieri Odegard thing?
- 39:30Because I, that's the first time that Sergei's kind of said
- 39:33something similar, that he think Odegard's going to lose a spot.
- 39:35I don't I I personally don't follow are still enough to like
- 39:39believe that. And I also feel like every
- 39:41single time I've seen Odegard, he like looks really good,
- 39:43especially in the last the end of the season and even like that
- 39:46that preseason game the other day.
- 39:47It seems like everything was going through him so hard for me
- 39:50to believe it, but it's. Bold, it's bold, it's bold.
- 39:53And in my head, if say, Odega gives a slight injury and he
- 39:57gets a run of games, I think that could be.
- 40:00The opening do you guys want to hear chat GBTS because I
- 40:03actually think it's kind of a good.
- 40:04One I was going to say I like chat GBTS I.
- 40:07It might have been. It might have been the best one,
- 40:08huh? Pedro Poro would finish as a top
- 40:11five overall fantasy scorer in 2526, ahead of at least 2 of
- 40:16Sala Holland, Saka Palmer or Bruno Fernandez.
- 40:18You. Know when the last time that
- 40:19happened? Trent maybe or something.
- 40:22No, it was trivia. Two years.
- 40:24Ago. Oh yeah, he he didn't do that.
- 40:27Oh yeah, and that was when trivia was getting a lot of
- 40:30assisted goals. He was on my team, yeah.
- 40:32I remember, but he didn't win that year so.
- 40:34I also had how long and. You had both of them.
- 40:35You still didn't. Win so oh.
- 40:38Yeah. Rough times, All right, Those
- 40:41are our those are our predictions.
- 40:44Are you guys anything else you guys want to chat about?
- 40:49No, I'm actually curious. 5678 European spots, who do you think
- 40:54So get the 5678, we already did our top four.
- 40:56What do you think we get 5678? I think United might squeeze
- 40:59into like 7, I think. I think Newcastle is still up
- 41:05there and I don't know. Good question.
- 41:10I'd say Evans going to squeeze in there too.
- 41:12That would be really fascinating.
- 41:13Really. See Evans squeezing.
- 41:15In their attack itself is so interesting this year I think.
- 41:18I'm going to say I. Think Tottenham gets in there?
- 41:20I think I think Tom gets six this year ahead of May and I to
- 41:23get 7th. He just hates it, I said.
- 41:25Maybe he's going to squeeze it in the 7th.
- 41:27I mean, you think they're he's they're going to drop from top
- 41:294? I think that Ameren's going to
- 41:31get fired after 8 weeks. Oh yeah, you do, I think.
- 41:34He's going to get fired after 8 weeks.
- 41:35I mean, if they lose a few games, it's not going to be a
- 41:38very. You lose.
- 41:39You lose 4 out of 6 at Old Trafford in the 1st 8 weeks. 812
- 41:43weeks you're done. You're done.
- 41:47Who are their? Who are their?
- 41:48Who are their fixtures to start this season?
- 41:50They're going to start against Arsenal.
- 41:52Arsenal, Fulham, Burnley, City. I could see that losing to
- 41:56Arsenal, drawing to Fulham, beating Burnley and losing the
- 42:00City and then after that Chelsea.
- 42:01Losing to Chelsea, I could see, I could see that's future where
- 42:05in the 1st 12345 games they have one draw and 1 lot, 1 draw and
- 42:11one. Win.
- 42:11All right, let's let's do some schedule talk against Arsenal at
- 42:14home. That's a win.
- 42:16Noah. Noah's no.
- 42:17It came in. That's a win.
- 42:18Old. Trafford is not a a fortress
- 42:21like a fortress. It's a leaky roof with a leaky
- 42:24defense. You know what, the thing about
- 42:26leaky roofs, sometimes they work against Burnley at Old Trafford,
- 42:30that's a win. So that's three.
- 42:31You know, Man City on the road, that's probably a loss.
- 42:34So we're there 3 and 1. Chelsea at home.
- 42:37That's a win. I don't.
- 42:39Do you believe anything he's saying because he doesn't
- 42:41believe it? I know he does.
- 42:42How about? This I think I was making a bet
- 42:43about how many points they have. I I bet they will have under 6
- 42:47points in those first 71234512345 games.
- 42:53I think they'll have less than six points.
- 42:55Wait. Do I make that 12345 first five
- 42:59or first six first five 1st 5? 345 yeah.
- 43:03So Chelsea, City, Burnley, full on United.
- 43:06What what happens if they have 6 push?
- 43:09No, I win. Why so?
- 43:10That's so 6 is 5. 6 or less. Yeah, six.
- 43:13Yeah, no. So wait.
- 43:17You just said they'll get. You just said they'll get four
- 43:19wins in that first five. You just said that's what I'm
- 43:21saying. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 43:22All of a sudden you're trying to backtrack.
- 43:23Yeah, I'm not. So you're saying they're going
- 43:24to have 12 points? He's saying they're going to
- 43:26have less than half, half or less.
- 43:28There's a difference between making a bet and what you
- 43:31believe. That is true.
- 43:35Oh yeah, I think when? You're making bets.
- 43:36You want odds. You want to maximize your.
- 43:38Favorite. I'm placing the line at 6.5.
- 43:41So OK cuz when you're saying 6 it's miss, you know it's
- 43:43misleading. Yeah, I understand.
- 43:44You're right. OK, fair. 6.5.
- 43:47Fuck it. So you have 7 for you to win.
- 43:49Anything less than that I win. So which is the same.
- 43:53Sounds like a great. Just sounds like a great bat.
- 43:55Less to 6, 6 is a push. It's the same thing.
- 43:58No, there's not push. There, there is a push.
- 44:01Literally, there's the push. No, no, this is. 6 This is in
- 44:04the MLS 20 years ago. What?
- 44:06Why? I don't wanna.
- 44:06I don't wanna do 6. Why are you talking 6 1/2?
- 44:09Why are you talking as you're not even in this bed?
- 44:13Wow, just take. Just make the bet.
- 44:14Be a man. I'll do 6 1/2 Tico.
- 44:17That's my final offer. You just, you were just talking
- 44:19about how they're gonna have 12 points by that time period.
- 44:21Yeah, let's do it. Oh yeah, Yeah, 20.
- 44:25Funny. All right.
- 44:26First bat of the season. First bat of the season.
- 44:28Can we keep like a sheet of all the bets?
- 44:32I haven't I. Haven't paid us for like the
- 44:34past. I don't know how many bets we
- 44:35guess. Hoyland.
- 44:36Yeah. You owe money for a Hoyland,
- 44:37don't you? Yes.
- 44:38He does. Wait, what's the We Bet 54
- 44:42thing? Right, Tottenham and Menu?
- 44:44Yeah, man, that bet's looking worse and worse for you.
- 44:46We should. We should.
- 44:47Figure that bet. I made a bet with Chico and
- 44:51Derek. We had a little drop pile on
- 44:53last week and as the party's going on I've been busy, so I'm
- 44:56busy cooking, you know, BBQ, doing some kind of the summer
- 44:58he's. Been working as He's been
- 44:59working as. I made all the side dishes.
- 45:01It was great. And then down the house, almost
- 45:04burnt down the house with the pork belly, which I'll never do
- 45:06again. And as we're doing it, I'm in
- 45:09the pool just cooling off. And they're like, yeah, I think
- 45:12May and I would do better on top of another one.
- 45:14Like we just got Morgan, Gibbs, Wyatt and Kudu.
- 45:16So that's that's solid. We've got a great midfield, good
- 45:19attack. We're going to be fine.
- 45:20I think this is going to be bad because it's not a big inch, so
- 45:22I shake on it. They say 50 and they're like all
- 45:24right, do it. And then also the fact they go
- 45:26and tell me that Morgan, because right fucking just resigned for
- 45:28fucking. And I think that's talking about
- 45:30that. Talk about shady stuff.
- 45:32That's shady. Talk about shady stuff.
- 45:34I would never do that. I haven't told you guys this but
- 45:36Nate asked me to like Co manager league with him that he joined
- 45:41so I agreed to do it. I did not know.
- 45:44No, you bloody no. Derek near.
- 45:47Derek knew, and I saw Sergey and Derek talking about something
- 45:50about like, did you see it on the phone?
- 45:51I didn't know what the news was. I didn't know.
- 45:54OK, I'll give you. I believe you.
- 45:55Take her. I would argue that you can even
- 45:58re nag on your back with Derek. No, I would not only look, no.
- 46:02No, no, I just, I just feel like stick with it.
- 46:04Like withholding that information is pretty.
- 46:05Nasty. So I'm gonna stick with it.
- 46:06It's fun. It was in the chat.
- 46:09What'd you say? Would you say, Sergey?
- 46:11It was in the chat. Yeah.

- 46:50hour top? Speed of players in the Premier
- 46:52League because it's a different. I mean, it's still running, who
- 46:54cares? Well, what was it?

- 47:14five. How about top five and strikers?
