No, it's YOGHURT. That's that's the craziest thing
0:05
you've ever said and you've said some crazy things.
0:07
Most are dumbass. He did have that amazing goal,
0:11
you know, we like stuff like that at Real Madrid.
0:13
Did you left me? You left me all red or you, you
0:16
left me waiting like a Tinder date.
0:18
That's what you left me doing. No Ben Davis.
0:22
Ben Davis Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know you're saying.
0:26
I know what you're both saying. You're both.
0:27
You're both have for it. Hello and welcome to episode 62
0:37
of Draft Offsides with Tico Enzo.
0:39
My name is Keith. We have a short one for you guys
0:41
this week, International break. We're just going to kind of
0:44
cover the cover the bare minimum here.
0:47
Bare minimum. But also I feel like it'll be
0:50
nice. It's a little bit of a different
0:51
episode because we're going to really focus on watch ups and do
0:53
a few different things here, Top news that we don't normally.
0:57
Yeah, well, things that might affect the fantasy.
1:00
Totally. So I think the first one just
1:02
kind of got, we're going to break it down to three sections
1:04
of player news, matchups and then our bet.
1:07
First thing player news is Carrie Tripper Trippier.
1:10
He limped off the last game, but it looks like his injury might
1:13
be worse than initially. Thoughts.
1:17
I think Livermento is the guy that would come in and he
1:19
actually seems like a pretty good spot start and I think
1:21
anyone who has trivia should be picking him up.
1:23
I think that's a pretty, pretty interesting one.
1:25
But I'm also not super keen on that on that defence.
1:29
Like you know in the past that Newcastle defence was so locked
1:31
down but they just really struggled comparatively.
1:34
What do you guys think about them in general?
1:37
Yeah. Well, Tripper, well, one there
1:39
was all that news about him leaving to that home and then
1:41
now with his injury, if he's going to be out through October,
1:46
yeah, I pick up the memento. Is there another isn't?
1:50
Don't they have another right back also?
1:53
The loose hall is more of a left back.
1:55
And Kelly, he he played right back a couple of times, but even
1:58
trippier, the three games he started, he only had 4.254 and a
2:02
half and 15. So fantasy wise, I don't think
2:05
it's a huge loss. I don't know.
2:07
I feel like he's still a pretty important asset personally, but
2:12
but hey, I mean, I think it's just it's just he's yet to show
2:14
this year. So that sense like this injury
2:16
only sets him back and makes him probably just not bumps him down
2:20
in like the weekly, weekly and yearly ratings for the rest of
2:23
the season. I think so.
2:25
If you look at the top defenders from last year, he was one of
2:28
them out of order. I think he's the one that's
2:29
performing just like, what's his name from Evan.
2:33
They're both Tarkowski. They're not.
2:35
They're both below par this. Season, yeah.
2:37
And we've talked about this is what's that's what makes
2:39
defenders so hard is that they're so fickle.
2:41
Like they one year they have a great year, the next year it's
2:43
really difficult. I feel like they're the most
2:45
unpredictable position. Yeah, I agree.
2:49
Another thing, Manuel Garte got injured for United, but if you
2:53
were, if you were starting him or relying on him, that was the
2:55
least your worries. I think I think you're
2:58
completely right with those you have issues if you're in line,
3:00
Ugarte and Man United team to get you points because yeah,
3:06
didn't see enough of it in May United and he's injured, so no
3:09
loss there. If you have him, I just drop
3:11
him. Yeah, he's he's like, he should
3:13
have even had him. But now, now it's on a drop.
3:15
Drop. And then they're dropping Tico.
3:20
Another thing too is McAllister and Grealish both didn't start
3:23
the first games in their international in the
3:25
international break and then went on to start the second game
3:27
and looked good and healthy. So just keeping that in mind,
3:30
those are those are positive things for those two players.
3:33
It is Macallister more so than Grealish I feel.
3:37
I feel like McAllister playing at that in that level team is
3:41
more likely than Grealish playing in that Man City.
3:45
Yeah, this callister is when we're locked in, that's for
3:47
certain. Yeah.
3:49
Yeah. But Grealish just look good.
3:51
I was, I was played for England. I feel like if anything, the
3:53
form has been there so that like, I think it's allowed him
3:56
to kind of get a little more confidence in that that city set
3:59
up. I have no idea what's going on
4:00
with friggin Pepper and boys with his rotation because you
4:04
really think he would have been rotated in by now.
4:06
I've got a feeling he's going to try it by Chori in January.
4:09
You heard it here first. Nowhere.
4:11
I I can fucking see it. That's the craziest thing you've
4:14
ever said. OK, you've said some crazy
4:15
things. I've said some crazy things, but
4:17
I I don't know what he is. I feel like Chori will be that
4:20
player. Chico, do you care to comment on
4:23
that? No, it's.
4:26
I don't. I don't even understand the
4:27
logic behind it. Other than this that that sounds
4:30
like a type of thing that you do on like FIFA.
4:34
Maybe I'm I actually got into Siri that Enzo just likes to
4:37
he's like a volume shooter. He likes to throw out a lot
4:39
bunch of stuff there and whenever he gets one right he
4:42
just like harp started non-stop and like we forget all the ones
4:46
he gets wrong. I think I've got I've got a few
4:48
right lads. He's like, like Nostradamus,
4:51
like everyone forgets all the predictions he made that didn't
4:53
come true. I.
4:53
Don't remember all the ones I did, yeah.
4:56
Nostradamus. Fuck you.
5:00
OK. Then the next three, it looks
5:01
like there's a little bit of an injury crisis going on at
5:04
Arsenal or just potentially the potential for an injury crisis.
5:08
We had Saka didn't play the last game, so the injuries minor in
5:12
that it was close thing. But like, I don't know, does
5:14
that guarantee that he starts this next game, do you think?
5:16
I mean, he's been traditionally durable, but.
5:20
I think he's fine. It's the friend.
5:21
It was friendly's mate. No, no, I don't believe any of
5:24
the real stars where we're we're going to play.
5:27
That's like how Harry Kane was injured that first game and then
5:29
he played the second game. You know what I mean?
5:31
I don't think. I think it's Osaka.
5:34
I don't think there's any concerns with any of these
5:36
players. What about Kyle Habert's not
5:38
even going on international break because of knee of knee
5:40
problems, which is the first we've heard of that And knees
5:42
are knees are scary. You're a knee problem and it's
5:45
scary. But it's supposedly he's been
5:48
playing with it for the last two games supposedly.
5:51
And it's only because he missed the international break because
5:54
again, like I said, I think it's just precautionary and it's, I
5:58
could be wrong, maybe there is something wrong with his knee,
5:59
but he looked fine in the last two games.
6:02
All right, last one, Martinelli, a calf injury got scans
6:07
confirmed. I think he's definitely missing
6:09
at least a game or two. That's great news for Sterling,
6:12
isn't it? Yeah, I think Sterling is the
6:14
big benefactor there. I think that's the that's the
6:16
one that's the most interesting. I think for like a it's like the
6:20
most clear. Cut or like.
6:22
I think Sterling, I think it's the most clear cut, like like
6:24
for like. OK.
6:26
It's besides Sterling, it's also there besides Trostart on
6:31
Marino, because Marino he might also get some playing time as
6:34
well depending on what formation they put out there.
6:38
Yeah, he'll probably play close to like where Odegard plays,
6:40
though. Odegard's not healthy.
6:42
I mean, because that's the other one.
6:42
Odegard's still coming back from injury as well, and so they're
6:45
hoping that he'd be back by now, but it's looking like he might
6:48
not be back for a little while for another one.
6:52
Or two, Yeah, Arsenal also have Jury and Timber, who's probably
6:56
not going to be playing this this weekend.
6:59
And Ben is Ben white salad as well, yeah.
7:01
Yeah, so it's Kalafiore and we'll see who plays on the right
7:06
side. Is Tommy Yasu back?
7:11
Tommy Yasu maybe you know Sergey.
7:14
Tommy Yasu, is he back? I know he had a slight injury
7:17
being the season. He's at work, he can't talk.
7:23
He was shaking his head. So Tommy House was not back.
7:26
You got it. I'm gonna ask Justin.
7:29
Maybe they played three in the back.
7:31
It's just an interesting thing to keep your eye on.
7:33
It's just the amount of injuries going on at Arsenal or amount of
7:35
like people that are even if they're not injured like soccer
7:38
hover. It's like if they they're
7:39
they're playing with like minor injuries.
7:41
So even if they play, they may not be 100%.
7:44
Just something to keep in mind neither one song.
7:47
I missed your national break. In his place, Werner came on and
7:51
played two games in the Premier League.
7:52
He scored eight points and then 12.7 points.
7:54
Five points. Solid returns for someone you
7:58
got off the bench right, but it doesn't feel great when you play
8:01
team of Verner, does it? No never does.
8:04
Even Washington plays cringy. There was there was photos of
8:08
him on socials back in training. I think it was a a cough, cough
8:14
injury. Talking solid right now, yeah.
8:16
Yeah, son, he wasn't in like a calf injury.
8:18
I think he had a calf injury. I think he was.
8:20
But but he was back in training. So I think this week, extra week
8:22
off, he's not guaranteed to start, but I think he he should
8:26
be on his way back. OK, so don't even worry about
8:30
Verner. Don't even.
8:32
No, I I can't stand why. No, he's not good dumb.
8:35
He's shit that's come from. Me, he tries hard.
8:37
He got to get. He gives 10 out of 10 for
8:39
effort, that's for damn sure. Yeah, try the hustle.
8:44
OK, Next one, Allison is out. It will be for a little while.
8:47
Is Keller interesting to you guys because the Liverpool
8:50
defense has been rock solid? It's interesting for clean sheet
8:54
points. My issue is that the Liverpool,
8:59
the next like four or five games are so difficult, yeah, that I
9:03
worry about clean sheet points with the, with the with who
9:05
they're playing the next four or five games.
9:08
He's what he's had a what has been his points.
9:10
I think he's actually had a couple of good games, doesn't
9:12
he, where he's at double figures.
9:14
Who? Kella.
9:16
Yeah, but I mean, they've also had the easiest Liverpools have
9:19
the easiest schedule of anyone in the Premier League.
9:20
They have Chelsea, Arsenal, Brighton, Villa, like that, that
9:28
that's, that's, that's rough. That is rough.
9:32
What I would say on that is coming up they have Chelsea, who
9:35
has a lot of shells on goal, Arsenal and then the Brighton.
9:39
So he is a good goalkeeper. And then be like, yeah, he is a
9:44
good goalkeeper. He did good in the year.
9:45
So to me, yes, Arsenal, Liverpool's defense is really
9:48
good. There's the chance of clean
9:50
sheets. But at the same time, if the
9:51
shots come out, you don't think it's going to be shots that are
9:53
like very close distance. So it might give him a couple of
9:55
save opportunities as well. So it's kind of, yeah.
9:58
So I would, I would play him just because Liverpool has given
10:01
us no reason to believe that their defense is going to give
10:05
up a lot of goals. I like that.
10:08
OK, you kind of convinced me there too.
10:10
Yeah, it was nice. I liked it.
10:12
All right, last bit of player news.
10:14
Tico, do you want to take this one?
10:17
Of course I do. So Real Madrid will be very
10:19
active in January window and they're going to try to go after
10:22
Trent again. We know, I know, Enzo said.
10:26
Oh, Trent's loyal to the cover. He's not going to go.
10:28
But if the team decides to sell him, the team decides to sell
10:30
him, looks like he's going to walk for free.
10:33
So might as well cash in and try to get some money on that end.
10:36
So he did have that amazing goal.
10:40
You know, we like stuff like that in Real Madrid.
10:42
So we'll see. Are you nervous, Keith?
10:45
I just can't see him going in January.
10:48
I just don't think there's a world where he goes in January.
10:51
I'd like I to your point though, like if if like.
10:55
If he doesn't, the only concern would be.
10:58
The only concern would be they yeah, they if they're, they feel
11:00
like he's, if they can't, they don't want to let him go for
11:01
free. But I just don't see a world
11:03
where that. I don't see a world where this
11:05
is how it happens. You know, unless they offer
11:08
something ridiculous. No, they also, I also don't see
11:12
a world Tikka. I don't see a world where the
11:14
way that Madrid is operated, I don't see a world where they
11:17
would pay the value that Trent will demand if they can get it
11:22
for free in six months. Because they they do do that a
11:25
lot well. They could have done that same
11:28
thing was happening with and Boppe.
11:30
They offered him a lot of money but pH should refuse to sell to
11:33
Real Madrid and he came for free the following year.
11:36
That's what I'm saying. But but they they put the offer
11:39
there. Yeah, she decided not to sell.
11:41
Yeah, but like a lot of the other, a lot of the other guys
11:43
that Madrid have gotten over the years, like more recently are
11:46
because they come on freeze. I feel like that's a big part of
11:49
the strategy is getting getting good players on freeze
11:51
transfers. I mean, I, I think it depends on
11:55
where the player is. And they got they paid for Jude,
11:58
they paid for Vinny, they paid for Rodrigo.
12:01
So that's too many Coma Vinga, all of those players, they, they
12:05
paid for. I'm over this conversation.
12:10
You're loving it. No, I'm over it.
12:12
You're over it, OK, Doesn't matter.
12:14
I mean, I think it matters if you own trend.
12:16
So it matters to me. It's it if I've gone to my head,
12:24
I'm assuming he's not going to come in January just because if
12:28
you're a trend, why would you want to leave middle of the
12:30
Champions League season unless they're not going to get
12:32
illuminated by that. So I don't think it's going to
12:35
happen. But if I had trend on my team as
12:37
the news gets, you know how like the news is, it's like.
12:40
Especially with just a build. Yeah, especially with Fabiano
12:43
like tweeting and talking about it makes it more and more like
12:46
really realistic. So it's probably as an owner of
12:50
trend, I would not be so good times.
12:53
Yeah, but I also feel like I'm not going to just panic sell
12:56
them. No, I wouldn't have a.
13:00
Yeah. Because.
13:01
Sorry Tikka, I'm not going to panic sell them, sorry.
13:05
I'm, you know, I'm just saying, Luke Shaw's available.
13:09
I nurtured him back to health. By the way, Keith wasted my
13:12
time. A couple like last week, wasted
13:15
my fucking time. He pissed me, right?
13:18
I'm not gonna like him. Not sure you could tell.
13:19
A little bit pissed off. A little bit pissed off.
13:21
Keith says I'm off from the trade saying hello.
13:23
I won't give up this player like anyone interested Teachers.
13:26
Oh, me, I'm interested. Send me, send me a a trade.
13:30
I'm not all right. So I send him a different couple
13:32
different trades. It's called me crazy for one,
13:34
but whatever, I'm just fishing. Send me a counter offer, he
13:37
says. You know what, the more I look
13:38
at it, I don't really want to do this no more after fucking
13:41
wasting my time for three days. I didn't waste your time for
13:44
three days. You left me.
13:46
You left me all red or you, You left me waiting like a Tinder
13:49
date. That's what you.
13:50
Left me the international break. I'm not checking my trade, my
13:52
trade inbox every day. I'm, I'm on vacation, but I also
13:57
you, I said I was interested and then you started.
13:59
You literally offered like it was Danny Welbeck and I was
14:02
interested just from his point totals.
14:05
And then the trades you're offering were like Trent
14:07
Alexander Arnold for Danny Welbeck.
14:08
I'm like honestly not going to do that.
14:09
Just in case, he left in January.
14:12
But then I asked Antonio Robinson.
14:13
You said I'm where I'm. On the best defender, The best
14:16
defender in America, Who in all the Americas North and South
14:20
America, Best defender in North and South America.
14:23
No Ben Davis. Ben Davis.
14:28
No, Alfonso Davis. I'm sorry, Alfonso.
14:29
Davis. Oh yeah, He's Welsh, Yeah.
14:31
One of the best, The best Fender in England?
14:33
How about that? I'll allow it.
14:37
Maybe but but anyways, but then, but you know, and I was, I, I
14:41
seriously looked at it a little bit more and then I just saw
14:43
Welbeck. All his points come from games.
14:45
He's gotten gold returns. He does.
14:46
He generates someone with 0 ghost points.
14:48
And I just realized that as a as a striker, I want to have
14:50
someone that generates a little more, has a little better like
14:53
war than Welbeck does. So if it when he goes cold.
14:57
So then I just thought, oh, I'm not interested.
14:58
Actually, you know, I did, I did my internal review and I
15:01
realized that it just wasn't a a minute move.
15:03
I was. Interested in SO you just wasted
15:05
my time back I. Didn't waste your time.
15:06
I was interested. I dug a little deeper and
15:08
realized I was no longer interested.
15:10
That's that's how that's how things work.
15:11
I don't know how ever to keep this season.
15:13
Keith turned to a right wanker. Hey, this is this is what
15:16
happens when you try to win. Yeah, we're not friends anymore.
15:18
We're just, I'm here just to win.
15:20
We're just colleagues, colleagues.
15:22
All right, let's get match UPS. Let's get let's talk match ups.
15:28
So I picked out a few that I thought were interesting.
15:31
I'm very excited for the United Bradford game and I think it's
15:34
going to be a game of I don't think I'm not excited for it
15:37
because I think it's going to be a beautiful game.
15:39
I think I'm excited for it because I think it could be one
15:41
of the ugliest games of all time.
15:43
Like, truly horrific. I don't, I don't even know to
15:48
what to expect in this game. Well, Bradford scored in the
15:52
first, what, 2 minutes of the last four games in a row, three
15:55
of them in the first 30 seconds. Yeah.
15:57
One of them a whole minute and a half in.
15:59
Oh my God. I know.
16:02
And it's banging. Our defense isn't exactly the
16:04
the strongest in the middle. They're not, but they also held
16:06
Villa do a nil they'll draw last week.
16:08
Do you think, do they do they stick with that type of just
16:10
like I'm going to just be the most boring team ever and
16:13
launching? Again, they're going to get a
16:15
nil nil draw again. Do you think they're just going
16:17
to go full defensive? No.
16:19
No. Because Bradford is pretty
16:21
Bradford, it's hard to play against for the most.
16:23
Part of the counter attacking team.
16:25
Yeah. So they're going to sit back
16:27
like they've done against everybody else.
16:29
They don't like to have the ball.
16:30
They don't. But Bradford, it's like Bradford
16:33
loves having the ball either. No, that's true.
16:36
But Bradford actually looks hopeful.
16:39
Unite doesn't. Those games, or they're just
16:42
like kicking it back to each other.
16:43
You take it. No, you take it.
16:44
You take it to the ball. There's two ways I'm looking at
16:48
it. 1 is like it'd be amazing for them to score again in the
16:50
first couple of minutes. So they're, you know, but then
16:53
Manchester United will actually try to play football instead of
16:55
just, you know, doing whatever the hell it is that they do.
16:58
But then also I kind of want United to get the ball in the
17:01
first half and the during the kickoff and kind of play keep
17:04
away for the first minute or two, just kind of make.
17:06
Sure. Yeah, like Brentford is not
17:09
going to score on us in the 1st 2 minutes.
17:10
So I think that'd be pretty funny too, that they're just
17:12
saying like, keep away from like the first two minutes.
17:14
Yeah, I know that May. May you know heavy favourites
17:17
for this game? Heavy.
17:19
Yeah, heavy favourites. That's interesting.
17:22
I think, I think I would start United Defenders here.
17:26
Definitely. And I think you're pretty much
17:27
starting everything Brentford related that as you know,
17:30
there's a viable targets like the Nguemos, the the defenders,
17:36
you know the guys you start on Brentford, we move on.
17:39
Yep. United is -145 that's not a
17:43
heavy favorite. But Brenda's plus 3:40 to win.
17:47
Yeah, yeah, yeah. The the the the balance is way
17:51
off. Not even fucking close to being
17:52
even. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know you're
17:54
saying, yeah, I know what you're both saying.
17:56
You're both, you're both half right, OK.
18:01
Arsenal, Bournemouth. So I'm just like, are these
18:05
injuries going to play a part? All these niggles we were
18:07
talking about earlier. Well, no Timber, no order guard,
18:13
no Martinelli, Saka and Haberts kind of playing with injury
18:18
scares. Do you think Arsenal's just too
18:21
good? I think Arsenal's fine with that
18:23
defence alone, No, they have the best defence in the league.
18:27
But are they going to be able to score 1 without their key
18:30
attacking players? Let's see if Sterling can step
18:32
up if Sterling plays, but I think Truslard has stepped up
18:35
every time he's been asked to 99% of the time.
18:38
He has some very good point and then fun fact, Sterling has the
18:49
most goals against born with in all of EPL.
18:52
That is a fun fact. Does that mean we place a should
18:56
we be thinking about doing a Sterling the score that.
19:01
If he's starring, we'd have to do it on the day off to make
19:05
sure he's on the Are you starring?
19:08
So Bournemouth, the other thing too about them is they they lost
19:10
to last last week. They had a strong start to the
19:13
season, but they've kind of looked a little shaky last few
19:15
games. It's been it's been a weird on
19:18
that bone side of the table. Yeah.
19:20
I don't know who's winning. That should be interesting
19:25
though. I, I, I think it's more
19:26
interesting because I'm curious to see how Arsenal handles the
19:28
adversity. Not so much because I think
19:31
Bournemouth is. I still think, you know, I still
19:33
think Arsenal wins that game. The next one I wanted to talk
19:37
about was Fulham Villa. Is this This could be the upset
19:40
of the week. It's funny, I was looking at
19:42
this and I was like, I don't even want to touch this game.
19:45
It's I mean, it is going to be weird.
19:47
No, I think Fulham has got. I'd be interested to see the
19:51
point hole for the Fulham team and where they stand amongst
19:56
other teams in the league. What do you mean say that again
20:01
like the total point total? The total, the total team point
20:04
.12 from the players fantasy wise, because you really think
20:08
about it, Jimenez, he's been scoring goals.
20:10
Shori, he's been getting a lot of ghost points.
20:12
You got the best defender in England on the left.
20:15
It's going up and down. Robinson, Yep, Robinson the
20:18
goalkeeper, he's been, he's had, he's had a good, good start to
20:21
see. I'll just be interested to see.
20:24
Ralph Jimenez. Ralph Jimenez.
20:26
Yep. Scored a banger from Mexico
20:29
against the United States a few days ago.
20:31
I know it's so fucking Chico's a guy a.
20:33
Guy scored just a little plot. It was funny.
20:38
Since he made us became the starter, which was on September
20:42
14th. Since that he's ranked 12th in
20:45
total points with an average of 15 points per game.
20:49
That's. More than.
20:51
Trent more than Onana, more than Haverts, more than Brendan
20:55
Johnson, who's been a fire, and it's tied with Mosala, so it's
20:58
fucking crazy he's up. There, Yeah, he's.
20:59
He's and no one wants to trade me for him.
21:02
But you're not even starting him.
21:05
Because I don't have bad ones ahead of him.
21:08
I mean, you don't have, so you have three guys that are better.
21:10
Than 12. Clearly you don't.
21:13
Well, on paper they are. The only pursuit you have
21:17
strikers. That's.
21:18
Not a right hand with strikers. Yeah, that's my opinion.
21:22
OK. I like to, I think the one thing
21:24
to know, I was like, I was actually gonna this was gonna be
21:26
my bad game and I was gonna have been a full no win.
21:28
But then I started thinking about the fact that there's
21:29
quite a few key players from Fulham that are coming from
21:32
international duty all the way across the world.
21:35
So we have rolling in as it. Does mean something?
21:39
Anthony Robinson Pereira for Brazil.
21:45
You know, so like, to me it's like, oh, maybe that isn't,
21:48
maybe that isn't as much of A like a smart bat as I thought.
21:51
Be interesting, yeah? Just something to consider
21:54
there. And then the last game I kind of
21:56
have highlighted right here from the Saturday is Tottenham, West
22:02
Ham, the the Ham Derby, as I like, as I like, call it.
22:06
The Ham Derby. I don't know.
22:08
What the fuck? Oh, Tottenham?
22:10
West Ham. Got it.
22:12
OK, I got it. That's that's that's stupid.
22:14
OK, go on Q1. I've never heard it be called
22:19
that, but I just know what the back end of.
22:21
But you know, one's called Tottenham.
22:23
And so the two things here are just goals, goals, goals, right?
22:26
Is this going to be a goal goal fast this game?
22:29
There's there's always goals in a Tottenham game, whether it be
22:31
for them or against them. So again, don't know what's
22:35
going to happen this game. It's a, it's a Derby.
22:37
I think West Ham did a double over Tottenham last season, if I
22:40
remember correctly. So we're at home, Tom's at home.
22:44
So we we'll see. But I I wouldn't, I wouldn't bet
22:47
on this game either. What about what about from the
22:50
standpoint of West Ham? So it looks like the last game,
22:52
I mean, it was, albeit it was Ipswich, but like that team
22:54
looked a lot more unlocked. Like Kudos look better.
22:56
All the players, all the attacking players look
22:58
significantly better than they have previously.
22:59
Do you think that's going to continue against Tottenham And
23:03
you think we'll see the kind of they because they struggled so
23:05
early for a lot of the a lot of the games.
23:07
We'll really see if Kudos is out of his shell because he scored
23:10
the last game, so we'll see if he if even if he gets an assist,
23:12
that's going to just only boost his confidence and be good for
23:15
any fancy fantasy owners. Bowen has been OK Antonio's
23:22
still up front, but can he score?
23:24
Is he just going to be a hold up man?
23:25
Don't know. I would, I would love to see
23:29
kudos like have like a brace or a hat trick or like a couple of
23:33
assists in the goal. Just, you know, because he'd be
23:35
funny if as I traded him away and it's against Tottenham, but
23:39
at the same time I'm playing against Sergei who has kudos.
23:41
So it's like a you heard of Cash 22?
23:45
Yeah. So yeah, I'm going to be torn.
23:49
Do we, who do you think we, who do we think wins this game?
23:51
Just if you haven't taken a guess, do you think there's an
23:55
upset in here or do you think? I'd say I'll I'm asking you a.
23:59
Question What's the what's the upset if you Who wins?
24:06
You know, they I'd say, I think if Tottenham loses, if Weston
24:09
wins, I'd be upset. No.
24:12
ID Tottenham wins. I think Tottenham wins too,
24:14
yeah. All right, next question on the
24:17
Sunday games, Liverpool, Chelsea, are we gonna see the
24:22
high flying Chelsea attack or are we gonna see the staunch
24:25
Liverpool defense? What's more likely here?
24:27
Dude, I don't know. This is that's gonna be a
24:29
fucking. That's the game of the weekend.
24:30
Well, I do. I think so.
24:35
There's a game of the weekend. I think it I I could see like a
24:38
three one or three two Liverpool win.
24:40
I don't think Chelsea wins. I think it's like 3132 Liverpool
24:44
win and the Van Dyke and the most Allah were sent back from
24:47
international break early. So to make sure they get the
24:50
extra rest, Sunday game I think it is, the game is in Anfield.
24:57
Yeah. 3-1 Liverpool going. To be a good game?
25:02
I don't know. Chelsea's been high flying but
25:06
this is the first real test for Liverpool, so I don't know.
25:10
That's what I'm saying, I don't know.
25:11
So we're going to see. Well, I think the first real
25:13
test for Chelsea and the best way to cool off Cole Palmer is
25:17
by giving him a break. So you know.
25:20
Give him a break. Oh, you mean like like
25:22
international break? Yeah, because you know when when
25:25
you're like playing like Cole Brothers, you want to play it
25:27
every week. You want.
25:28
Yeah, when you cool down, you know, everything kind of resets,
25:30
but yeah. Yeah, I have a hard time
25:32
believing that there's not going to be goals in this game.
25:35
I don't know. I don't know which way or what
25:37
side, but I think the way Chelsea scores, the way
25:39
Liverpool's played, it's hard for me to believe this is not
25:41
going to be at least like two to three goals in this game.
25:43
They got a busy couple, they got a busy two weeks, Chelsea.
25:46
Yeah, I think, I mean, as of now, you're not really playing a
25:50
lot of Chelsea defenders because they haven't created generated
25:53
points. So that's not really a concern.
25:55
I think Liverpool, you're kind of locked in, like you're not
25:57
not starting these guys that are like the top performing
26:00
defenders. What is it the case that the
26:02
three top playing, the forming defenders and all of fantasy are
26:04
all Liverpool players? Yep, Cornata, Trent and Virgil.
26:09
DVD So yeah, I mean, I think you're there and I think the
26:12
attacking players, same thing like I I think you have freedom
26:16
just to go full force with all the attacking players.
26:18
I think you take out the Chelsea goalkeeper and defense and
26:21
everyone else, you have that as starting.
26:23
You play them on Liverpool and Chelsea side, except the Chelsea
26:26
defenders and Enzo Fernandez. Well, you never start Enzo
26:30
Fernandez. Yeah, Ever.
26:32
Yeah. All right.
26:33
The last game, I'm actually kind of interested.
26:35
This is the Monday game. It's Forest versus Palace.
26:37
I feel like it's interesting because Palace was probably the
26:40
team that a lot of people thought were going to really
26:42
succeed this year, and it ended up being Forest.
26:45
You know, like Forest has had the very surprising second part
26:48
of the season. Palace has been very
26:51
underwhelming in a lot of different ways.
26:54
Then you can't just blame it on Elise.
26:55
I think there's more going on than that.
26:57
I think it's losing Joakim Anderson as well.
26:59
I think there's just like, I think like the players that keep
27:02
that brought in haven't really performed.
27:03
There's still like a lot of factors there.
27:05
Yeah. So I think, I think that's a
27:07
Forest win, I think. I think so too.
27:10
That's not one. It's not a bad one for us to bet
27:12
on this week if anyone chooses it.
27:13
So yeah, all. Right.
27:15
So that's what we got for matchups.
27:17
So it's time to talk that. What are we?
27:26
What are? We thinking here it's going.
27:28
Fast, I think it's my turn to go first.
27:31
I kind of want to it. It's kind of crazy because Enzo,
27:34
you know, he's going to have like some kind of a wild card
27:36
pick. I really wanted to do everything
27:39
in Ipswich Town for a draw because I Ipswich doesn't give
27:43
up goals and they also don't score and ever since, you know,
27:46
been pretty bad. But I think going first you have
27:50
a responsibility to kind of get one that on the board that's
27:54
pretty locked in and secure. And I'm going to do make the
27:57
boring pick and I'm going to. Man City.
28:00
Want to do Liverpool but yeah, Man City against the wolves.
28:02
I think it's a no brainer -300. Put it on the board, am I next?
28:09
Yeah. Sure, let's do Forest Silver
28:11
Palace. What are those odds?
28:14
Plus the 20. Plus the 20, that's kind of
28:17
nice. Those are good odds.
28:19
It's at the City Ground too, so I actually kind of like that
28:21
even more. Enzo, what do you got for us?
28:24
Fuck. So right now we're at with those
28:27
two, we're at plus 3/26. Cars are not comfortable, the
28:31
easy ones. This is one of the more
28:34
difficult. Weeks, it definitely is.
28:36
There's some really tricky games.
28:38
I'm going to assume Sergey's gone for Arsenal cannot even
28:41
assume. You also have Man United on the
28:44
board. I think Lester, Leicester
28:47
against Southampton, that's also.
28:48
That's not a bad one. That's a weird one.
28:50
That's. A weird one bro.
28:52
I'm almost. Newcastle Titan, that's a
28:55
difficult one. Too.
28:56
I do May night Brentford. I'm going for a fucking draw.
28:59
I don't hate that. I bet you the odds are really
29:02
good at that on that too. I'm gonna do a draw.
29:04
May night, Brentford. Plus 310.
29:07
Oh. OK, then question, Sergey.
29:09
We'll just put Arsenal. This is assuming he wants the
29:10
better Arsenal. Where's Bournemouth?
29:14
So what if we what if? What is it with Arsenal?
29:15
What is it without Arsenal? $40 will give us 1151 all.
29:23
Right. Well, this has been episode 62
29:25
of Dropped Off Sides. I'm Keith, I'm with Tico Enzo
29:28
and we will see you guys next week.
29:45
Are you playing football Monday still or no, you're not doing
29:48
that? Are you guys not starting it
29:49
again? So I don't think they are
29:51
because the group's like everyone's like has kids and
29:53
stuff. But if you're trying to get
29:55
runs, then I'm pretty sure I could find people like some
29:58
people that play out in the Valley maybe.
30:00
I think Sergey plays now with some people.
30:02
I. Don't want to.
30:03
I don't want to play with Sergey.
30:04
They're pretty crappy, so. You're sitting again.
30:07
I'm better than you, bro. Even in that half my fucking
30:10
fitness, I'm better than you. Sure, that's I don't I don't
30:13
know what I. Don't know why I didn't know.
30:15
Nonchalant, as if that's not the facts.
30:17
I don't think that is the fact when we played at the same team
30:20
I was. It seems like it seems.
30:23
I don't think so. I don't think you ever played
30:24
right back. I had to play left back though
30:26
because you I have. I played right back and one one
30:28
game one of us had to play center back.
30:31
Why? Are you starting one?
30:32
Game that we had to play center back, you said you can't play
30:35
center back, so I was the one who played it.
30:36
Played like shit. You.
30:39
Guys, I'm going to go. You guys can keep you guys can
30:41
keep your conversation going. I have to leave though.
30:43
Yeah, go. We'll, we'll be.
30:44
Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
30:48
Maybe, maybe you're primary, but the reason I played more,
30:52
started more and had more minutes I mean.
30:55
More goals than you have right back than you did at left back.
30:58
You did not have a goal for me. Bye guys.
31:00
You. Have more goals than you?
31:01
How? Many goals did you have?
