GW8: Game of Throws and Fantasy Woes I Ep: 108 · Draft Offsides Podcast

• 0:00
  Hello and welcome to episode 108 of Draft Off Sides.
• 0:03
  I'm with Tico Nenza. My name is Keith.
• 0:05
  We are in the international break and we're coming to the
• 0:08
  end of it. So you'll be reading this,
• 0:10
  you'll be listening to this like with a few days left.
• 0:12
  So hoping to kind of talk through a little bit of previous
• 0:15
  stuff and then talk about the coming week.
• 0:17
  It's kind of the plan, right? Excellent.
• 0:21
  First off, we got we have a new special agent that we need to
• 0:24
  annoy it double O 7 Kunya. No, I kind of you know what's
• 0:30
  funny about that whole thing is like it's it's a funny laugh at
• 0:32
  like you can't really take it that seriously.
• 0:34
  Like, you know, Thierry Henry was that went seven games
• 0:36
  without a golden assist. So let's not you know, other
• 0:41
  than just being like Internet trolls.
• 0:42
  It's so funny you gotta laugh at.
• 0:44
  I think the difference is on Reed didn't go for 125 or you
• 0:48
  know 80 million so. Did he not?
• 0:51
  I mean, I mean, I wonder if the equivalent was though.
• 0:53
  Because you can't, you can't like you have to give them.
• 0:55
  That's what I mean. Was that I mean.
• 0:57
  Arsenal. Or Barcelona.
• 0:59
  What do you want? Double O 7.
• 1:01
  Arsenal. Look, he came from Juventus and
• 1:04
  he came there as a left winger and.
• 1:05
  He was also younger, right? A lot younger.
• 1:08
  Yeah, and he was a fairly unknown.
• 1:10
  Yeah, this is within the same league, proven in the league.
• 1:13
  So, you know, it's more like. It is a bigger thing.
• 1:17
  I'm just, I'm just saying that like, yeah, I'm trying to not.
• 1:20
  I'm trying to not. It's something.
• 1:21
  Also, it's literally not to knock.
• 1:22
  It down too much. It's literally nothing.
• 1:24
  Yeah, but it it's as it goes on, it starts to weigh on the
• 1:27
  player, It starts to weigh on everyone.
• 1:29
  But well, Kunya, you know, stealing it.
• 1:30
  Kunya's worse because Kunya's been in the league.
• 1:33
  What? Been in the league, He's older.
• 1:35
  Yeah. Success.
• 1:36
  Yeah, I think we're there. Speaking of it works.
• 1:39
  Still struggling without a goal and an assist as well.
• 1:43
  I, I kind of feel like this is the time where you can maybe get
• 1:46
  where it's out of out of bargain, though.
• 1:48
  Like I don't, I don't, I can't imagine where they start
• 1:50
  benching it. I know that there's like people
• 1:52
  are talking about that, but it just doesn't seem like.
• 1:54
  A right bit benched. Kind of, but not really.
• 1:56
  More like rotated. OK, but still.
• 2:00
  But I don't think they're gonna go.
• 2:01
  I don't think they're gonna. To me benching would be him
• 2:04
  playing like not playing on like a Premier League game, a
• 2:07
  champions game during the week and then a Premier League game
• 2:09
  again like coming off the bench for the like not starting one of
• 2:11
  the like 3 or. Yeah, no, I hear you.
• 2:13
  And it's not in that back. If you really think about
• 2:14
  everyone that front 4 has been rotated, including.
• 2:17
  Everyone's been rotated. And I mean, it's not just him.
• 2:20
  I mean, Salah's obviously been underperforming.
• 2:22
  We're talking, we're going to talk about that.
• 2:24
  But I mean, other than, I mean, honestly, other than Gak PO, who
• 2:27
  you look happy about in Ekatike, right?
• 2:29
  Those are the only two you're like, happy about.
• 2:31
  And like those two, you, you, you're never that happy because
• 2:34
  there's always this fear that they're going to be benched,
• 2:38
  etched. Eventually.
• 2:40
  Yeah, so that the other guys are going to come in and take their
• 2:42
  jobs. So I don't think there's anyone
• 2:44
  on. There's no, there's no attacking
• 2:46
  plan on the team. That's like a static about right
• 2:48
  now. But Tigo.
• 2:49
  No, even even the defenders outside of like Van Dyke, who
• 2:53
  like, you know, he does what he does, even like Friend Park, has
• 2:55
  been disappointing. Disappointing.
• 2:57
  Injury, but still disappointing. Took his dude.
• 3:00
  Kurkas has been incredible. At this point, I think Kurkas
• 3:02
  might be then one of the more disappointing ones.
• 3:04
  Totally. And then even when what's his
• 3:07
  name, Connor Bradley comes in and you remember how good he was
• 3:09
  when he was coming in for Trent last year, like with the new
• 3:12
  system, new team, whatever. Like he's just not doing the
• 3:14
  same thing either. But the positive thing for Frank
• 3:17
  Pong is he's been he's been played on the right wing.
• 3:20
  With yeah, like what, Some of those games.
• 3:22
  Yeah, I was reading something where they're saying, you know,
• 3:25
  like people didn't realize what the effect of Trent would be on
• 3:28
  Mostala as well. And this is it.
• 3:31
  Yeah, a little bit. I mean, I just feel like he's
• 3:33
  not getting the ball enough, like he's just, you know, so I
• 3:36
  mean, that's part maybe, but that's part of it.
• 3:37
  But I also feel like you need to build him into the team a little
• 3:40
  more. But they don't, they don't need
• 3:41
  him as well, like they don't need him to like do everything
• 3:45
  for the team like the previous. No, not anymore.
• 3:47
  I mean, I would I like it if they did.
• 3:49
  Of course, you might have them also.
• 3:50
  OK. Can I take a victory lap on
• 3:52
  saying Isaac won't be as good on Liverpool?
• 3:54
  I know it's very early, but you know, let me take say this while
• 3:58
  I can because it might turn around like that.
• 4:00
  Same thing with Florian Verts. I said it's going to take some
• 4:02
  time. It's going to be to adjust.
• 4:03
  I think we all said that. Not Keef, Keef said.
• 4:05
  He's yeah, Keef said. He was like a surefire, like top
• 4:08
  7 player. Yep, I said it.
• 4:09
  Yeah, I said he was. He come from the German league.
• 4:11
  I said he came from the German league.
• 4:12
  He was going to take a while to adapt.
• 4:14
  I thought he'd. I thought he'd adapt quicker for
• 4:16
  sure. Yeah.
• 4:18
  You also kind of got Javi Simmons right so far, Chico.
• 4:21
  Don't forget about that one, you said.
• 4:22
  And you kind of got Wilton right.
• 4:23
  Yeah. So you've been on a little bit
• 4:24
  of a tear. Well, but it's still early.
• 4:26
  It's still early. How have you seen that?
• 4:28
  It's going to stay that way. Simmons is not going to.
• 4:30
  Simmons is not going to. I'm sorry, Ends.
• 4:33
  But no, it's fine, yeah. I I disagree with that, but I
• 4:37
  disagree a lot of Senate attacking mid in in the fan
• 4:39
  track system. I think this is such a points
• 4:41
  generator, so we'll see you there.
• 4:44
  Oh yeah, moving on a little bit, Rice requested to come off in
• 4:47
  the last Premier League game. Did he?
• 4:49
  Did he play at all for England? I don't know of the top man I
• 4:54
  know. I think he might be on the bet.
• 4:56
  He might actually start because they played tomorrow so and
• 4:59
  tomorrow's the World Cup qualifier.
• 5:00
  So I think it might save because a lot of the first teamers were
• 5:02
  on the bench. Harry Kane.
• 5:06
  I think he played for England. No, I think he played.
• 5:09
  He might came off the. Bench No, he started started at
• 5:12
  70. Yeah, so I think that's that's
• 5:14
  not not really super relevant. So Rice is probably fine.
• 5:18
  Any update on the Odegard knee injury?
• 5:20
  I mean, that was like to me it looked like it was a knock, like
• 5:23
  it like a knead, a knee, but then it it got bad, right?
• 5:26
  No, it's a bad one. It's a bad one.
• 5:29
  It's a bad one. We were on, I think it was from
• 5:30
  Fabricio mentioned it thing he's out for for like 5 to 5 to 6
• 5:35
  weeks. Yeah, I mean, so we were, you
• 5:38
  know, right when that injury happened, the guy in our league
• 5:40
  that had Otiguard tried trading him and he offered Sergei
• 5:45
  Trufer, right, Offered Tru for Otiguard.
• 5:49
  And at the time we're like, Oh my God, there's such about,
• 5:51
  there's such about trade, blah, blah, blah.
• 5:53
  And then like a day later, it's like Otiguard knee injury
• 5:55
  severely worse than they thought about 5 to 6 weeks.
• 5:58
  Now it's like, oh, like. Genius.
• 6:01
  Kind of genius, yeah. Well, like that could have gone
• 6:03
  either. I mean, that could have gone
• 6:04
  either, but he was just he was done.
• 6:06
  He was just done. He was like, I went out of this,
• 6:08
  I went out of this player. He.
• 6:09
  Claimed he was in a job traffic anyway so.
• 6:13
  Sergei was, yeah, No, Trevor's been one of the better.
• 6:15
  Trevor's been one of the better defenders in the league.
• 6:17
  Am I wrong? Yeah.
• 6:18
  No, he's one of the better defenders.
• 6:20
  Maybe not. But you know, they're not one of
• 6:23
  the better. They're not going to lose again.
• 6:25
  But it's also like kind of shitty having a player like, oh,
• 6:27
  they guard on the injured because you're not going to drop
• 6:31
  him and you're not going to trade him as well unless like
• 6:33
  you're desperate. This.
• 6:35
  Is the first. This is the first time since
• 6:37
  like 92 or 94 that England started a team with no United
• 6:41
  Liverpool. And what's the other team
• 6:44
  players from those three teams? Oh, really?
• 6:47
  No, they have Saka in Rice. Oh.
• 6:49
  That's right, that's right. That's.
• 6:50
  Right, Chelsea. Maybe Chelsea.
• 6:53
  Yeah, no test plays this time around.
• 6:56
  That is funny. Trifford is the 54 ranked player
• 6:59
  overall, 24th ranked defender. That would be insane to drop
• 7:02
  him. He just he just put up a 15
• 7:03
  pointer against Bournemouth. So I don't I, I mean, if Sergey
• 7:07
  was going to drop him, he's a second.
• 7:08
  Yeah, would have got picked up real quick.
• 7:10
  Yeah, we got picked up real, real quick, OK.
• 7:13
  Canalte Canaltes, injured, came back from the France team, so
• 7:17
  that's a want. That's a worry for Liverpool.
• 7:19
  I think the other worry ends that we need to talk about is
• 7:21
  Enzo Fernandez, your boy. Enzo Fernandez.
• 7:24
  Returned home from the States, He was they were playing
• 7:26
  Argentina, was playing in Florida, came home early with
• 7:29
  knee swelling. And we talked about, we've
• 7:30
  talked about this before, but like any sort of knee injury is
• 7:32
  just not good news. Swelling is a little bit better
• 7:35
  than a tear or something because they can easily drain that bad
• 7:39
  boy, but they can't do it so often.
• 7:41
  I think the concern is the, the what is the cause of the
• 7:44
  swelling? Like is there a tear?
• 7:45
  Is there something in there that's causing swelling?
• 7:48
  And it's like, and that that's aggravating him, you know, or
• 7:51
  like, hopefully, I mean, I don't know, we'll see.
• 7:53
  It might have just been the travel.
• 7:54
  Could have been, but that's that's a worry because honestly
• 7:56
  he's been playing pretty well this season.
• 7:59
  So anyone has an Enzo Fernandez owner is it's rough.
• 8:04
  Unless you've got something really good on the bench,
• 8:06
  whether it be a defenders forward or midfielder, it's hard
• 8:09
  to replace him. Yeah, definitely hard to replace
• 8:10
  him. So he got synovitis, which is
• 8:13
  essential information. It reduces mobility, causes
• 8:17
  swelling, pain, so maybe he just needs some rest.
• 8:20
  He has been playing a lot of minutes, a lot of games and
• 8:23
  especially like Cole Palmer, Ranger, he's been, I feel like,
• 8:25
  doing a lot more for the team. Absolutely.
• 8:27
  So, yeah, I mean, I think it's just something to monitor for
• 8:30
  sure. Like, and I can't feel good
• 8:32
  right now. You're not like that ecstatic
• 8:33
  about it, no. But Tillam is.
• 8:37
  Noteworthy, it looks like Scotland is qualifying for the
• 8:40
  World Cup, or at least going to be in a position to qualify,
• 8:42
  which is cool. It's going to Denmark.
• 8:44
  And Denmark. And Denmark right, so that's
• 8:48
  cool. Good for them.
• 8:49
  They won today. Any other teams we need to talk
• 8:51
  about? The Dutch have done well.
• 8:52
  The Dutch. Dutch are doing good.
• 8:54
  Van Dyke scored Memphis to pay scored Mallon scored Gatwa
• 8:57
  scored Daniel Mallon. Let's talk about him a little
• 9:00
  bit. He got two goals in the last
• 9:01
  Villa game. Now he's playing for the Dutch
• 9:03
  in scoring started about the start there is he is that
• 9:06
  someone that you guys are interested in?
• 9:07
  I mean he's kind of like he's been talked about for a while.
• 9:09
  I think, I feel like last year he kind of got like a little bit
• 9:11
  of unfortunate that they signed him and then they also realized
• 9:13
  they could get Ascencio and Rashford.
• 9:16
  So he kind of got put on the back runners.
• 9:17
  But is this his? Is it his time to shine?
• 9:19
  His younger is how much has he owned?
• 9:22
  He is 24%. Yeah.
• 9:25
  It's not a bad freaking shout. Yeah, I think it's an
• 9:28
  interesting one. Jazz Spence put out an Instagram
• 9:31
  post with Brennan Johnson with a chain around his neck, sent him
• 9:34
  to the penitentiary. Have you seen that?
• 9:36
  What Jet Spence does? Are you telling me he beats a
• 9:38
  winger or shuts him down? He puts him on his Instagram.
• 9:40
  How he shut him down, that's actually.
• 9:42
  Very funny. Like, I'm very surprised that a
• 9:44
  a pro player would do that because it sounds like you're
• 9:46
  just inviting some guys to be like, OK, I'm coming for you.
• 9:48
  He's he's asking for all the smokes, but he did it.
• 9:50
  He did it to Brennan Johnson, his teammate.
• 9:53
  Yeah, that's, I mean, that's almost better.
• 9:55
  You know when it's like your boy, I didn't.
• 9:56
  Know Johnson plays for Wells. Yeah, he's Welsh.
• 10:00
  I think his dad was a player. He's born, yeah.
• 10:02
  His dad was a player, too. Yeah.
• 10:05
  I think that is out for five or six more weeks, yeah.
• 10:08
  I know I saw that and I the only reason I know that is because
• 10:10
  you tried to trade him to. Me.
• 10:11
  Well, I didn't know that when I tried to trade him to you.
• 10:14
  You did it. No, but I just dropped him.
• 10:15
  You can have him. I added him one of the leagues
• 10:17
  so I have to drop him now, but do I?
• 10:19
  OK, what about I just want to go back to the Rogers and walk in
• 10:23
  scoring? Does that give you any sort of
• 10:24
  interest in them? Like, I feel like that's, I
• 10:26
  mean, I feel like Villa's gone three or four games without a
• 10:28
  loss now they've won a funeral. Yeah.
• 10:31
  Are you guys are still just off it until you see a little more?
• 10:34
  Yeah, try what you're going to try to buy Lauren Watkins, but
• 10:36
  no one's going to fucking. No one's going to fucking bite
• 10:40
  the I don't think so. The player I'm more interested
• 10:43
  from Villa is he came on midweek and he scored like a goal or
• 10:47
  two. I think he's a midfielder.
• 10:51
  Let me try to pull his Sky. McGinn.
• 10:55
  Bondia. No, but.
• 10:58
  Yeah, yeah. So he, that was two games ago.
• 10:59
  He came on and totally changed the game and I think, I don't
• 11:01
  think he got the start last game, but I don't know if he
• 11:04
  really would like. And I think he played in some of
• 11:06
  like the other cup games and he had a good game too.
• 11:08
  Yeah. Yeah.
• 11:10
  So round seven though, did he get the start?
• 11:14
  I believe he did, yeah. Round seven, he didn't start.
• 11:17
  Did Kenya play for Brazil? Yeah, he had an assist.
• 11:22
  He he played the nine though up top Esteval played as well who
• 11:26
  had two goals. One of them was a great goal.
• 11:28
  Loved that kid. Man, he was on a tear.
• 11:31
  That's something special. I drafted him.
• 11:33
  I'm. Aware, very, very aware.
• 11:36
  All right, so then those are kind of like some news and
• 11:39
  notes. I now I'll just go and look
• 11:40
  looking back briefly at some key moments from game week 7, I
• 11:44
  think the biggest thing to talk about is Semenya.
• 11:47
  Two goals and assists, 33.75 points.
• 11:50
  Six goals on the season. I think 3 assists on the season
• 11:53
  gives them the same amount of goal involvement since early
• 11:55
  Holland. Or maybe early Holland is nine
• 11:57
  goals and one assist. Maybe.
• 11:58
  I think, you know, I think he's got the best value that you go
• 12:03
  him at. Yeah, his return.
• 12:06
  What's like mid, mid? Like on average he's in the mid
• 12:08
  second round. Yeah, I think in Arley he
• 12:10
  dropped a little further, to be honest, which is crazy.
• 12:12
  But yeah, number one overall player, I mean, do you see any
• 12:18
  world where I mean, I think like there's going to be some level
• 12:20
  of regression maybe. Like he's going to peer out a
• 12:23
  little bit, but he's still going to be solid throughout the whole
• 12:25
  season. He's I think he's, yeah, I mean,
• 12:27
  I think he's, I mean, I don't think it's honest whether he
• 12:29
  finishes as top ten player. Oh, no doubt, Yeah.
• 12:31
  I mean, could is he, do you think he finishes?
• 12:33
  Is there a chance he finishes as the first overall player?
• 12:35
  Absolutely not. Really.
• 12:38
  Who do you think? Oh, you think Holland, even
• 12:40
  though it was season he's having?
• 12:41
  Holland got a hat trick after missing penalties I.
• 12:45
  Think it's Israel. Yeah, what you're talking about.
• 12:46
  Yeah. I, I think the, the one reason
• 12:50
  why I actually think Semenyo might have a shot is because
• 12:52
  with Holland it's it's so many of his points are goal
• 12:55
  dependent, where Semenyo gets a lot of ghost points as well.
• 12:58
  Yeah, it's true. I think like, and I think that
• 13:00
  he gets dribbles, he gets all these assists and like no sign
• 13:02
  on assists, but like dribbles and he gets like headers 1.
• 13:04
  He gets so many, there's so many different ways that he scores
• 13:06
  points. So if he's also going to be
• 13:08
  scoring 20 plus goals, I think there's a good chance that he
• 13:10
  could he could be there at the end of the.
• 13:12
  I'm not sure if he's going to be the winner, but.
• 13:14
  Yeah, that's a good. Show should I put some numbers
• 13:17
  to kind of disapprove you or should we just, you know, let it
• 13:19
  go? Yeah, but but yeah, throw some
• 13:20
  numbers. What do you What do you got for?
• 13:21
  Me he has two games where he has no goal contributions.
• 13:23
  Both of them he played 990 minutes, won 8 1/2 points, so
• 13:26
  they won five points and A5 S decent.
• 13:29
  Usually Holland if he doesn't have a goal contribution,
• 13:31
  Holland's like 3-4, five points I.
• 13:34
  Was gonna say Holland's been getting better though with his
• 13:36
  ghost points. He hasn't just been, he's still
• 13:38
  goal dependent, but there's games where he puts us some
• 13:40
  ghosts. But I think this team he has, so
• 13:44
  luckily for how long it's rare for him to have a game with no
• 13:46
  goal contribution, he said. One against Tottenham, 3.25.
• 13:50
  Oh yeah, I'm going to pull some more stats.
• 13:52
  Ghost points per start. Anthony Semenyo 9.5 as a
• 13:56
  striker, that's really good. Hollands is 6.9 so I'm just
• 14:02
  saying like for the role he plays, 9.5 ghost points from the
• 14:05
  forward is quite good. I like this.
• 14:08
  I mean, if you add, if you add the goals and assists to that,
• 14:11
  then all of a sudden you're talking pretty good.
• 14:14
  Yeah, pretty good. No, you're right.
• 14:16
  Hey, did you guys see the the Austrian game, by the way,
• 14:19
  before we go go a little bit further that they scored like I
• 14:22
  think it played San Marino or something and every single
• 14:25
  player scored, had a goal, had a goal contribution, wasn't it?
• 14:28
  Weren't it the keeper? No alpha player, sorry alpha.
• 14:31
  Player I I think like they were trying to score ten goals, so
• 14:34
  they were after like it was like 6 or 7 though, they were getting
• 14:36
  the ball and like sprinting it back to halfway to like restart
• 14:39
  the game. Yeah, because they were trying
• 14:41
  to get like a goal. The French they were.
• 14:42
  They were trying to get to 10 goals.
• 14:44
  Yeah. Yeah, they got, I think they got
• 14:45
  to 10 goals. It was 10 nil and now they had
• 14:48
  four. He got four goals.
• 14:50
  He got a 9.9 rating because he I think he also got an assist.
• 14:55
  Like, did you guys see what Abu Mayank did?
• 14:58
  He scored four man. Yeah.
• 14:59
  Abu Mayank. He scored four, four goals.
• 15:02
  What? They won four, three.
• 15:04
  The last goal was like in towards the end of the game he
• 15:06
  took his shirt off. It was his second yellow so he
• 15:10
  got red carded. He did an Akitika, but he had.
• 15:13
  Four goals. I think he got like a 9.7 with a
• 15:16
  red card rating. That's right.
• 15:17
  Golly it was the funniest graphic.
• 15:19
  Four goals, a red card 9.7. OK, real like I bring it back to
• 15:23
  the Premier League. We also I want to talk briefly
• 15:26
  about Yuri and Timber. 25.75 points with an assist in a clean
• 15:30
  sheet. I there was a lot of talk about
• 15:33
  how those early you're in timber points, you're not 40 point
• 15:36
  game. It's like, oh, it's not let's
• 15:37
  not over value him and stuff. But I mean, he just did it again
• 15:41
  and now he's sitting, he's the number one defender, right?
• 15:46
  Is he is he the number one defender?
• 15:47
  Yeah, and he's, yeah. So I, I feel like at what point
• 15:50
  are you looking at him going, oh man, like what's his, what's his
• 15:52
  real value? I mean, is it like there's these
• 15:55
  low games or these high games? Tika, what do you think?
• 15:59
  The the interesting thing about about this is that he started
• 16:02
  the year on the bench. Ben White started the first
• 16:05
  game, second game I think he got injured.
• 16:07
  But even when Tember came on I think he still had like 20
• 16:10
  points cuz he had like a goal contribution.
• 16:13
  So the guy wasn't a starter from like when the year started, he
• 16:17
  was going to be on the bench and he overtook the starting
• 16:19
  position because of Ben White's injury.
• 16:21
  I perceive would sell high just because obviously I, I
• 16:24
  personally don't think it's sustainable for the Fender to be
• 16:26
  put in this type of output. He's averaging 16 points.
• 16:30
  I I just don't see it. And he has two goals and one
• 16:32
  assist whereas all of last year he only had one goal, 3 assists.
• 16:36
  I just don't think it's sustainable.
• 16:39
  Fair enough. Even though now I'm looking at
• 16:41
  more numbers. Last year he had fourteen shots
• 16:43
  on goal. This year already has mine.
• 16:46
  So you might, you think? It might have something to do
• 16:48
  with that he's playing a little higher up the field or
• 16:50
  something. I mean, like things change.
• 16:51
  So maybe like there's a new tactical tweak where they're
• 16:53
  getting him more involved. Could be even if you did.
• 16:55
  That Ben and also just for the record, that Ben White injury
• 16:57
  happened within 20 minutes of the first game.
• 17:00
  So and Tim Timbers pretty much played every single game since.
• 17:03
  Then was it the first 20 minutes?
• 17:05
  Yeah, because he oh, no, sorry. It was in that not and at the
• 17:08
  end of the game, like the 70th minute, sorry, my bad.
• 17:10
  But since then he's played every single game.
• 17:12
  Yeah. So obviously like they're not
• 17:14
  going to take him off because obviously the way they've been,
• 17:16
  you know, rolling. But I just think, you know, it's
• 17:19
  kind of funny how you got the opportunity and kind of around
• 17:22
  with it. But it is there's something to
• 17:23
  it because even when you look at someone like Carla Fiori who
• 17:25
  plays on the left side, sometimes you'll see him as like
• 17:28
  playing as like a right winger. So I think the weapons they
• 17:31
  have, that's kind of going to be interesting to keep an eye.
• 17:35
  On I think so too. If I had him, I mean, what would
• 17:38
  be the what would be you? Who would you trade him for?
• 17:41
  Like let's say let's go defender, defender.
• 17:44
  If someone offered you like Wampasaka, would you take
• 17:46
  Wampasaka or no? No, I wouldn't take.
• 17:48
  No, Seattle like doing positions like same positions I would do
• 17:51
  like Florian words would you trade words for?
• 17:54
  No, not, no universe. I'd trade Florian words for you
• 17:57
  in timber. You would keep what?
• 17:59
  About what? About like a Mikel dance guard,
• 18:02
  how to spin solid, not spectacular.
• 18:05
  No, I think I would still keep dance guy.
• 18:06
  I just, I don't know, I feel. Like what about Crystal Palace
• 18:09
  defender? Well, Mike Gay, he's the second
• 18:12
  best defender, but he's still going as the best defender.
• 18:15
  Now you still got Lacroix, Richards and Mitchell all in the
• 18:18
  top 10. I mean, OK, I I still think I
• 18:22
  would rather have gay he. I think what you're looking at
• 18:26
  with Gay he is you're looking at points that are way more evenly
• 18:28
  distributed where Timber it's so boom, bust.
• 18:32
  You know, he has a few, He has a 40 point gain.
• 18:34
  You know, like, like how much of his how much of that is of his
• 18:37
  total points? Like that's like a suddenly like
• 18:40
  30% of his points are from a single game seven games in.
• 18:43
  Yeah. So I think I'd rather keep Dahi
• 18:45
  Munez. Enzo Fernandez.
• 18:48
  I think you, huh? Enzo Fernandez for timber.
• 18:51
  With the injury, knowing that there's there's a potential knee
• 18:54
  thing going on, yeah. No, if he was healthy.
• 18:56
  That's that's it's complicated. If he's if he's healthy, you got
• 18:58
  to keep ends up in this. I think.
• 19:00
  I think all the ones you guys are putting out are a little too
• 19:01
  tough. Like what about like Anton Sash
• 19:04
  so or long staff? So I don't know if you guys are
• 19:07
  looking at the chat. Sergey, who was timbering our
• 19:09
  league, says he would even trade in for Mosala.
• 19:12
  He wouldn't even trade it for wouldn't even trade it for
• 19:14
  Mosala. Yeah, but Sergey is illusional.
• 19:17
  He's. He's been saying he's going to
• 19:18
  lose after losing for the rest of the season.
• 19:21
  Yeah, well, he's, that's his thing, he said.
• 19:23
  But he is scoring. He says I'm not losing.
• 19:25
  He is scoring a ton of points though.
• 19:26
  He's the he's the top scorer in our league.
• 19:29
  Whatever. I'm not impressed.
• 19:30
  Yeah, to be consistent. You gotta you gotta win.
• 19:31
  You gotta win we. Don't have like a 950 point game
• 19:33
  and then the four all of a sudden, all of a sudden.
• 19:37
  Last last one, I'm going to ask you guys Moises Caseeda for your
• 19:40
  engine Bear. No, that guy sucks.
• 19:42
  What? Caseedo is the 8th ranked
• 19:44
  Goodfield overall. All right, we'll see how he
• 19:46
  keeps going. He's a bull.
• 19:48
  He's a 26 rank player. Caseedo you you're leaving me
• 19:51
  alone on this? You used to be on my side on
• 19:53
  this. That we say he sucks.
• 19:54
  I. Didn't say he sucked, but he's
• 19:56
  balling. Out no like the.
• 19:58
  He's balling out the. First year, like we started
• 20:00
  doing the podcast, both of us said he sucks and Keith was like
• 20:02
  no, he's good. He and he and.
• 20:04
  Well, he sucked up first. He's in Chelsea.
• 20:07
  OK, what about James? What about James Garner?
• 20:08
  I'm trying to get a yes from someone.
• 20:10
  I'm just going to keep going lower.
• 20:12
  James Garner. Nothing.
• 20:13
  Huh? OK, so maybe maybe Timber is not
• 20:15
  the not the one that we want to feel.
• 20:16
  We're not helping anyone, but you guys are not doing me any
• 20:19
  favors here. What about granite Zaka?
• 20:23
  Oh, but he plays the Sunderland, so you don't know what the hell
• 20:27
  you're going to get. I know he's.
• 20:28
  Supposed to go higher, not lower.
• 20:30
  Keith, They're not, But they're, they're not even answering.
• 20:32
  I don't know if they want to trade or not trade.
• 20:34
  They're just literally sitting here smiling, staring at me.
• 20:36
  There's no world that I meant to trade timber for.
• 20:39
  No, that's crazy. You would keep timber.
• 20:42
  All day. Of course I would.
• 20:45
  What about timber from Bwenbo? Yeah.
• 20:49
  No, you guys are. You guys are kind of crazy,
• 20:52
  Keith. That was like, yeah, you keep.
• 20:54
  Timber's not good or too good. No, not good.
• 20:58
  And you sure you're going you're going for potential Timber's
• 21:03
  original Oh wait, wait, wait, wait.
• 21:06
  Timber for Cesco because Cesco's actually played well the last
• 21:09
  two games. Good for him.
• 21:11
  He's up front, OK. Give me some.
• 21:15
  I might take timber, I might take timber there.
• 21:17
  Sesco, ME. That's good.
• 21:19
  Yeah. OK, let's move on this.
• 21:20
  I don't know if we're really getting much learning out of
• 21:23
  this. Muhammad Kudu's 24 points, a
• 21:26
  goal and an assist in the last game.
• 21:27
  He's also become an absolute stud.
• 21:30
  He is the number one ranked midfielder and he is the #3
• 21:33
  ranked player overall. It's probably feels good, Enzo,
• 21:36
  as a Tottenham fan to have that, have a guy up there.
• 21:39
  I mean, I think a lot of his points obviously are goal
• 21:41
  driven, but he also has a lot of dribbles, you know?
• 21:45
  He's got 4. Assists and just yeah.
• 21:49
  Top, top top assists joined with greenish.
• 21:52
  Fun enough? And he has the most take ONS of
• 21:55
  any player. He has like 30 take ONS which is
• 21:57
  almost double the amount as the next high Scott which I think is
• 21:59
  Minta Minta. Yeah, he just keeps going, man.
• 22:02
  Doesn't stop. No figures.
• 22:03
  Yeah, so, and that's like as far as like successful dribbles, he
• 22:09
  is. He has 30.
• 22:12
  Yeah, that's so crazy. So.
• 22:15
  It's a really good one. Another sticking with Tottenham.
• 22:18
  Solanke's still out, so I'm Mulwani.
• 22:21
  You're not sure? So Rich Allison should be
• 22:23
  getting more stocks. I did hear though that Kola
• 22:25
  Mulani played closed doors friendly on Friday, so I think
• 22:30
  that means that you might see him soon like I think I think.
• 22:32
  That's the bench first. Yeah, but I think there's still,
• 22:35
  I think there's still a place for him in the team.
• 22:37
  And I I still think especially with with what's his name, the
• 22:41
  injury that you just mentioned it with the ankle surgery just
• 22:43
  had Solanke so like so lanky that I think that Colin Milani
• 22:47
  sells a chance to be good for Tottenham.
• 22:50
  I think it's just a matter of like getting him healthy on the
• 22:52
  pitch. And I think it's just, and it's
• 22:53
  a matter of seeing where he might play because Rich,
• 22:55
  Charleston or Milani can play off the left and then that could
• 22:58
  slot in Simmons to the 10 roll, which I think suits him better.
• 23:01
  Yeah, and Milani can play up top 2 if Rich Charleston starts to
• 23:04
  fade, you know, or correct, whatever happens there.
• 23:06
  So I I would expect Colin Milani to get some time this coming
• 23:10
  weekend and then depending on how that goes, you know,
• 23:14
  potentially time in the future. I wouldn't, I wouldn't, I
• 23:16
  wouldn't be dropping him. Yeah, no, I think if you if
• 23:18
  you're holding on to him this long, but I also have him in
• 23:21
  some cost fallacy. I'm not letting him go.
• 23:25
  OK, Next thing, Sasko plays two-minute, 90 minute games,
• 23:27
  gets two goals game. What genius.
• 23:32
  Like up top, It's a genius. The guy's scoring.
• 23:34
  He's fucking genius. Was all it took.
• 23:36
  He's like, what did I think? Me and Tigo both said it before,
• 23:39
  like you've got to give him games and give him 9 minutes.
• 23:42
  He's a fucking striker. You gotta get in the rhythm.
• 23:44
  I agree. Tika, you happy?
• 23:46
  Very happy. It's not, you know, he also
• 23:48
  looks good and this is a team that goes on come by awful for
• 23:52
  them. So the positioning deshots is
• 23:55
  taking everything like the work rate.
• 23:57
  The one thing I would say it was kind of alarming for Konya on
• 24:00
  ours is the last time Konya got dropped, he didn't start.
• 24:02
  I don't think it was injury reason.
• 24:04
  And Keith, I think you and I talked, I don't know if it was
• 24:06
  on their off air on the podcast where this team kind of doesn't
• 24:10
  make sense with this formation of Konya and Boemo and Diallo
• 24:14
  and with Sesco. Somebody's got to give and I
• 24:17
  think. Just too many, too many pieces.
• 24:19
  Yeah, but man, I I like Sesco. He's ranked 14th overall forward
• 24:25
  and this is with him starting only three games.
• 24:29
  So just out of all of us, what's the best formation?
• 24:33
  It's it's pretty obvious in my opinion.
• 24:35
  I, I formations are so whatever to me.
• 24:37
  I mean, I feel like you can't say like what's the best?
• 24:38
  I feel like it's the players in the formation, you know what I
• 24:41
  mean? Yeah, but I think with these
• 24:42
  players, 433 is the formation. But you But he's never going to
• 24:45
  play a 4/3. Three, I know he isn't, but I'm
• 24:47
  just saying that's the best formation, yeah.
• 24:49
  I think, I think whatever whatever formation is the best,
• 24:53
  it doesn't matter because he's never going to change.
• 24:55
  So just imagine I. Agree with you.
• 24:57
  Imagine there's 22 pivots, an attacking midfielder and Gwenbo
• 25:01
  on the right, Konya on the left says go up front, Bruno right
• 25:04
  behind him and then you have Kobe, Minu and Casamero.
• 25:08
  Minu's on his way out in the January window, and Xerxi, they,
• 25:12
  they said that they're going to shop.
• 25:14
  Oh, really? Yeah.
• 25:14
  All right then, Ugate and Casa. Yeah.
• 25:17
  I mean, where are you putting beyond?
• 25:18
  I know you're saying it's. You sure fuck he he comes off
• 25:21
  the bench. I don't think you could put him
• 25:23
  on the bench, man. He's on my team.
• 25:24
  I think you. I think you can.
• 25:27
  I think you go 4231. You know, I, I just think that's
• 25:31
  not even worth having this conversation.
• 25:32
  So I just feel like it's just he's never going to do it.
• 25:34
  And I think we, well, I think more interestingly and just like
• 25:37
  great transition into waivers is looking at the fact that Mason
• 25:40
  Mount started that game instead of Cunha.
• 25:42
  And I thought the team looked a lot better with with, with
• 25:45
  having a guy that can press in that position And Mason Mount,
• 25:49
  every single coach loves him because he's an off the ball
• 25:51
  demon. You know, he just presses so
• 25:53
  hard. The fact that you got a goal and
• 25:56
  you got the start ahead, I think it's really great.
• 25:57
  And I think that means he's owning to only 21% of the
• 26:00
  leagues. I think he's worth a punt.
• 26:01
  Just get on a team and just see what he what if he's going to
• 26:04
  continue to start or what's going to happen there.
• 26:07
  So I really like that, especially if Cunha goes to
• 26:10
  Brazil, which, which he did and he played, which he did.
• 26:13
  I just it's, it's going to be a lot easier to start at Mason
• 26:16
  Mountain. He was just sitting at, sitting
• 26:18
  at the sitting with Ameren, you know, in the, in the, in the
• 26:21
  lobby eating chips. It's better.
• 26:24
  It's I think it's more likely that he gets a start than Kenya
• 26:26
  in the next game as well. Yeah, eating a chip sandwich.
• 26:29
  Eating a chip sandwich. And I also think that even
• 26:33
  though they play Liverpool, it's like Liverpool's been letting it
• 26:35
  go. So I'm not sitting here thinking
• 26:37
  that Mason Mount is a bad player.
• 26:38
  Do we think if Liverpool doesn't get their shit together, you
• 26:41
  think they're going to start dropping more points because?
• 26:44
  That's a good point. We haven't really talked about
• 26:46
  Liverpool, yeah. We thought it was a good thing
• 26:49
  that they were finding a way to win, but now just like they
• 26:52
  can't seem to find that way to win.
• 26:53
  And then after that Crystal Palace game where they added 7
• 26:56
  minutes and Crystal Palace was the team that scored and they
• 26:59
  were an uproar about it. Well, I think I think there's
• 27:02
  like a being able to find a way to win is obviously a good thing
• 27:05
  and scoring last minute goals is obviously great.
• 27:07
  But if you start to do that too often, then it becomes that
• 27:10
  there's something structurally wrong that you're having to
• 27:13
  resort to, like chaos time to get what you need.
• 27:17
  So I think that we're just seeing that is like playing out
• 27:20
  like you can't do that. You can't do that for 38 games.
• 27:23
  You know, winning in a 93rd minute is not a skill.
• 27:28
  Yeah, it's not sustainable unless you're playing Champions
• 27:31
  League in your Real Madrid. But if you look at Liverpool
• 27:34
  schedule coming up after the break, so they come back, they
• 27:36
  play Manchester United and they also have the same week, they
• 27:41
  have Champions League. They come back afterwards on
• 27:45
  Saturday, the short week. So they play, they play Sunday,
• 27:47
  Wednesday, Saturday they play Brentford, which is not an easy
• 27:51
  game. Then it's the EFL Cup against
• 27:54
  Palace midweek and then they have Villa.
• 27:58
  Three days later they have Real Madrid in the Champions League
• 28:01
  and then they have City and then they finally have an easy game
• 28:04
  against Forest. So their schedule coming up with
• 28:07
  the Chinese league in the other cup competition, it's I could
• 28:12
  see them dropping easily like a lot more points and expect.
• 28:16
  Expect a lot of rotation, too low.
• 28:18
  Rotation, yeah, so like all positions, I think the only
• 28:21
  position they won't rotate really is is center back.
• 28:24
  And that's actually no, that's a lie because Kanai has a slight
• 28:26
  injury. Sorry.
• 28:27
  You might see another. I I think The thing is too is
• 28:30
  that you have to think like, we'll see what happens after the
• 28:33
  international break because maybe Arnie Slott had a week to
• 28:35
  think about this and it's figuring out, figuring out some
• 28:37
  sort of tweaks too. So you never know.
• 28:39
  I, I, I am excited to see EKTK and ESOC playing it together.
• 28:44
  I think that's something that will probably be rolled out,
• 28:46
  especially if they have a hard time scoring goals.
• 28:48
  Be interesting you think you have a good international break
• 28:51
  over him and Giocheres had zero goals, 0 contribution, 0
• 28:55
  assists. But how many hair flips?
• 28:58
  Isaac doesn't really have long enough hair to do it, but Gilker
• 29:01
  is. I'm pretty sure he he went for a
• 29:03
  possible match. North of 10/10/10 to 15, I think
• 29:07
  the thing with Isaac is like you don't think about it enough.
• 29:10
  Is like not having a preseason really sets you back.
• 29:13
  Like he's just playing catch up and it's like you think that
• 29:15
  you'd already get there by now. But like, I just don't think his
• 29:18
  training regime, he's like not up to the fitness level, man.
• 29:21
  You just you don't think that's an you think that's an excuse,
• 29:23
  Chica? It's not, no, I I agree with you
• 29:25
  because every game, like even every sport, they're like, oh,
• 29:27
  they're professional, they work out.
• 29:29
  Game speeds different, man, game speeds different.
• 29:31
  Yeah, yeah, you can run on a, you can run on a treadmill.
• 29:33
  But once you get on the pitch, it's completely.
• 29:35
  Different to be honest, if I was like if I was ESAC, I would have
• 29:38
  maybe I mean it. I don't know.
• 29:39
  I, I, I'm not 100% sure what like Sweden's like qualifying
• 29:42
  thing is, but like, seems like this period would have been a
• 29:44
  great time to try and do like a little fitness routine to build
• 29:47
  up your fitness. Like if you know you're so
• 29:49
  behind on fitness, like take take the time off from the
• 29:52
  national team. Like get in shape.
• 29:54
  Well, these, but these wasn't that, that was a qualifier,
• 29:56
  wasn't. It they can't, it might have
• 29:57
  been a qualifier that changes it, obviously, but I'm just
• 29:59
  saying like there's something to it and like no, but no player
• 30:02
  would ever do that. Because when the, when the
• 30:04
  country calls, you're going to, you're going to accept that, you
• 30:07
  know? Unless you're an England player
• 30:08
  and then you say you got an injury and you go back home.
• 30:10
  Who did that? I mean England's.
• 30:13
  Just a notorious way, yeah, A. Notorious way.
• 30:15
  I can't imagine that the guys now do that last eventually.
• 30:18
  That was probably the thing back in the day of like Gerard and
• 30:20
  back, I mean, when they all hated each other, you know.
• 30:22
  Yeah, yeah. All right, so we just got super
• 30:25
  sidetracked back on waivers. Next one, Ryan Sassignon 39%
• 30:29
  owned mid from full on three double digit games and last
• 30:32
  four. I think people, it's just such a
• 30:34
  confusing one because he was a certain type of way type player
• 30:38
  and then now he's just been, he's been kind of good in the
• 30:41
  fact he was qualified as a defender last year, which people
• 30:43
  love, and now he's now he's a midfield space.
• 30:45
  He seemed like he was playing a wing back in the last game that
• 30:47
  I saw in a three in like some sort of 343352 situation.
• 30:51
  No, there's positives on both sides.
• 30:53
  See what? I said there's positives on both
• 30:56
  sides for that with the position lamp.
• 30:57
  Yeah, for sure. Like he doesn't get the minus,
• 30:59
  he doesn't get the -2 now being a midfielder so.
• 31:03
  Do we like? Do we like him?
• 31:06
  He's he's another pun, ain't he? You're not sure if he's gonna do
• 31:11
  it again or then he might do another couple of run of games,
• 31:13
  but when is that gonna come? I also think it's you're not
• 31:16
  even sure he's gonna start. I don't know if I think when
• 31:18
  Anthony Robinson comes back. I don't know if he like he gets
• 31:21
  to start. Anthony Robinson did not play in
• 31:23
  the US game, but he, like apparently was out with the
• 31:25
  team. Oh, really?
• 31:27
  So maybe in this next game, I mean, maybe he gets a few
• 31:30
  minutes in the next game. But we're just, we're just
• 31:32
  fucking open at this fucking point.
• 31:34
  Yeah, but I told you the last. I told you that our last pod,
• 31:36
  guys, I'm like, I'm nervous about it.
• 31:38
  Oh yeah, because he just hasn't like he played what, 70 minutes
• 31:41
  one game then all of. A sudden he played, Yeah, he
• 31:42
  played a few minutes and then he was.
• 31:43
  Then he hasn't played since, which is just so alarming.
• 31:46
  That's just so alarming. Yeah.
• 31:48
  All right, Next guy Sean Longstaff, 43% owned, He
• 31:50
  followed up that monster monster game with another really
• 31:53
  respectable game. And like I think the biggest
• 31:55
  take away from that, his follow up game was like he still had a
• 31:58
  very high amount of key passes. Yeah.
• 32:00
  So that's 39 point set pieces, yeah.
• 32:02
  And that 39.75 point game, he had seven key passes.
• 32:05
  In this last game he had 13.5 points, but he had five key
• 32:08
  passes. So I think he is very, very
• 32:11
  viable. And there's still a lot of
• 32:13
  leagues where he's not. I mean, he's 46% owned, but
• 32:15
  there's still quite a few leagues where he's not being
• 32:17
  rostered. And that that's just such an
• 32:18
  obvious pick up. And even if you're like a little
• 32:21
  nervous to start him right off the RIP, which I think he
• 32:23
  shouldn't be, but I mean, they played Burnley next.
• 32:26
  That seems like a perfect game to throw.
• 32:27
  Throw him out there. Yeah, puff again.
• 32:30
  Okafor 22% forward leads, anyone want, do you want to speak to
• 32:34
  that Azar? Did you drop that?
• 32:35
  Yeah, he looks good on the on the eye test.
• 32:37
  He does a lot of, I think he got a lot of job completions also,
• 32:40
  not the same amount as Kudus or freaking Doka or anything like
• 32:43
  that. But he's very offensive and
• 32:48
  honestly, I think he's another punt.
• 32:49
  There's not really that much out there to be.
• 32:51
  Honest. Literally.
• 32:52
  Yeah, he has to sell. He has got six to one game
• 32:55
  against Wolves. He had three against Bournemouth
• 32:58
  and one against Tottenham. So yeah, there's a not not bad
• 33:01
  dribble numbers, especially for a forward.
• 33:04
  He got a goal last game. It was very opportunistic.
• 33:06
  But yeah, can't really blame like can't really blame a guy
• 33:09
  for being in the right place at the right time.
• 33:10
  Exactly. Couple key passes.
• 33:13
  All right. Malik Thea is the next 118% own
• 33:15
  Newcastle and three starts. He's averaging 13.6 points per
• 33:19
  start. Brighton full of Weston Wetford
• 33:22
  is a pretty easy run coming up. I think the only concern is that
• 33:25
  what what's going on with Char and Fabian Char is going to take
• 33:28
  that spot back. Yeah.
• 33:29
  But I think that that the Newcastle defense has been quite
• 33:33
  good. So if you can get him or or if
• 33:36
  Newcastle go back to playing at back three, which it in the last
• 33:38
  game and he's in that back 3, then suddenly, yeah, I mean,
• 33:43
  suddenly he's superviable. I think he was he was thought to
• 33:45
  be the guy for the future. But like, if he's playing right
• 33:49
  now playing, why not? I was so upset I added him but I
• 33:53
  had already played 5 defender so I had to drop him and fucking
• 33:56
  keep snacking him up. Nice liver mentos out to the end
• 33:59
  of November too, so. Yeah, I mean that you might see
• 34:03
  either, I mean, Lewis Halls out too, Yes, he's injured.
• 34:07
  So that might mean that Byrne is.
• 34:09
  Playing big, Dan big. Dan Byrne playing running up and
• 34:12
  down the field. Crazy.
• 34:14
  He's fine there too. He's not like.
• 34:17
  He's OK. Next one, Hugo Bueno, still 23%
• 34:21
  owned, I think. I think like the savvy leagues
• 34:24
  are picking him up. Like I know in all our leagues
• 34:26
  he's snatched up. I think I haven't been one.
• 34:28
  I think straight guys is another.
• 34:30
  It's kind of proving that he doesn't need clean sheets to
• 34:32
  score well. And he saw that he should have
• 34:33
  gotten an assist. Arias missed a wide open goal.
• 34:38
  Is he passing the eye test? And so do you think?
• 34:40
  Yeah, I watched him when he played against Tottenham.
• 34:42
  It looks really good, really good.
• 34:44
  Good on the ball, doesn't really lose it too often, good dribble
• 34:49
  completions and he's trying to get into the box.
• 34:51
  I think actually both the Buenos are pretty good.
• 34:54
  I just think Hugo's been scoring a little bit more higher.
• 34:57
  I think he's on some set pieces, Hugo Bueno.
• 34:59
  So I think that adds a lot. So I guess saying that he got in
• 35:04
  three weeks ago, like it's like he's the hipster of the Hugo
• 35:07
  Bueno hipster. I got him before he was cool.
• 35:10
  Love that. OK.
• 35:12
  Daniel Mullen we talked about at the top of the show, but 60% own
• 35:15
  Villa at the start on the right looked very active.
• 35:18
  Enzo, do you like? Do you like the way he played?
• 35:21
  Marlon looks good, man. He just, he just never got the
• 35:24
  opportunities like you said before because of Ascensia on
• 35:26
  Rashford last season and having that really good.
• 35:28
  Was it 24 points the last game? Something like that And.
• 35:31
  Then two goals. Two goals and then again a good
• 35:34
  international, I think. I think Emery's got to change it
• 35:37
  up somewhere and try to try something new, try to get some
• 35:39
  goals, like opportunities for Watkins, because Rogers isn't
• 35:44
  doing as much. Is Rogers having a good season?
• 35:46
  He doesn't. He looks flat.
• 35:48
  So yeah. Yeah.
• 35:50
  So we need something else. It might be Buen Diere.
• 35:53
  It might be Marlin. Yeah, I think there were.
• 35:56
  If you're in deeper leagues, I think that's not a bad thing to
• 35:58
  grab 12 man leagues, 12 man leagues or yeah, or just leagues
• 36:03
  where he's not owned. And if you have, if you have the
• 36:05
  means, you know, last one, Andrew Robertson ends.
• 36:09
  I like this call you what? What do you want to speak to it?
• 36:12
  I don't think I did this course. I think it was Tico.
• 36:14
  Tico, I don't like Andrew Robertson.
• 36:16
  Oh yeah, I don't know who did this.
• 36:18
  Andrew Robertson 18% Liverpool. I like this out.
• 36:20
  Kirk has has lost his confidence and seems like he will lose the
• 36:23
  starting spot and I think he's a good one.
• 36:25
  Jump on Robertson should get a nest run of games.
• 36:27
  Tico we we just listed the the run of games that he has coming
• 36:30
  up, which is kind of bit hard. United, Brentford City, Real
• 36:36
  Madrid, Yeah, but that's it. But I think that Robertson, I
• 36:41
  think that if if he's starting, he's worth worth having, you
• 36:44
  know, and I like it's not just, it's not just in fantasy that
• 36:47
  Kirk has been disappointing. I think Kirk has been
• 36:49
  disappointing in general in like in general and like that proper
• 36:53
  game as well. Last year, then Robertson had
• 36:54
  bench. Last year he was he didn't have
• 36:56
  a good year. He had one foot after like in
• 36:58
  the offseason. So it's kind of like interesting
• 37:00
  that he's getting the opportunity.
• 37:01
  Again. Well, it's because Kirk has is
• 37:02
  leaving Van Dyke high and dry, like completely.
• 37:06
  And Van Dyke is doing that aura defending where he's just
• 37:08
  backing up the whole time and it's he's getting, he's getting
• 37:11
  fucking found out. Yes, Van Dyke's working by
• 37:13
  himself. He's not helping him out.
• 37:15
  That are you talking about the the polymer or was that no the
• 37:17
  Casena? Casena.
• 37:18
  Yeah, so funny. Some of those memes were
• 37:21
  amazing. I I like this shout though.
• 37:24
  I think Robertson's worth worth a pick up just for this reason
• 37:27
  alone. And like I, I don't think
• 37:29
  you're, you're going to be get tons and tons of point.
• 37:32
  I think the one thing is that there's the one thing to say
• 37:34
  about it is that there's so many defenders that are good right
• 37:37
  now and there's so many of those good defenders that aren't
• 37:39
  waivers. Maybe it's starting to sparse
• 37:41
  out a little bit. So maybe he's the best option,
• 37:42
  but like, would you rather have Dan Ballard than Andrew
• 37:45
  Robertson? He sort of, he sort of tease her
• 37:48
  off. Well, he got injured, so I think
• 37:50
  he's just coming back. So he he started really hot and
• 37:53
  then got. Yeah, but you look at his last
• 37:54
  couple games, I think he teared off and he's got like a six and
• 37:56
  a 5 or something. I.
• 37:58
  Don't know, I thought. I thought he's just coming back
• 38:00
  with injury. It's it's one of those things
• 38:03
  like even if you have crickets, you don't even, I wouldn't even
• 38:05
  handicap Robertson because either one of those players
• 38:08
  haven't been putting up great numbers.
• 38:10
  Like you could just plug and play like a United defender
• 38:13
  who's starting that? That's what I mean, though.
• 38:15
  But like, then, then you, would you even just drop Kirkus in?
• 38:17
  Yeah. Like, do you even really need
• 38:19
  to? Do you even really need to have
• 38:20
  Kirkus at this point? Like it's it hurts because he
• 38:24
  drops him in the fourth, fifth round.
• 38:25
  But they're not even getting clean sheets, so it's not like
• 38:27
  you're going to get at least a clean sheet points.
• 38:30
  Yeah, he's not ghosting. Yeah.
• 38:31
  I think the, I think the Robertson thing is that if he
• 38:36
  might be sneaky because he might not show up on your first few
• 38:39
  like waiver pick ups for defenders, you know what I mean.
• 38:42
  And so there might not be better options in that sense.
• 38:44
  But I think that I think that there are in a lot of leagues
• 38:48
  are going to be pretty solid offenders that I would probably
• 38:50
  take. Over like Jake Brown, Jake
• 38:52
  O'Brien, Yeah, I was going to say 32% of Austria in our
• 38:54
  league. Yeah, yeah.
• 38:57
  And I like, I mean, like, yeah, I think, I think I might rather
• 39:01
  have Jake O'Brien than Andrew Robertson.
• 39:02
  Tyron Manx has been good this year.
• 39:05
  He's he's injured. Unfortunately, he's been made
• 39:07
  this year out until after the international break Mings yeah,
• 39:11
  I hate that it's not like until they like after the
• 39:13
  international breaks. It'll be even longer too, so
• 39:17
  we'll see. OK, that's way various guys.
• 39:21
  Do you want to talk about next week or do you want to play this
• 39:23
  this game that I can try to explain real quick.
• 39:26
  Can you explain the game? Yeah, so we all are gonna we're
• 39:29
  gonna count to 3 and we're all gonna name a player.
• 39:32
  OK. And then what our goal is, we're
• 39:36
  all we all want to name the exact same player, but we cannot
• 39:38
  speak about it. And we're gonna have 10 goes to
• 39:41
  do it. So we have to like we have to
• 39:43
  like without speaking on it. So it's like we're all gonna
• 39:44
  name a random player and then be like, maybe we'll, maybe we'll
• 39:47
  be like, oh, like two of us same forward.
• 39:48
  Like we, we, we, we can't speak about any of this, but like,
• 39:51
  we'll be like O2 of us same forwards.
• 39:52
  Maybe we'll name, try and name a forward and then we'll be oh, we
• 39:55
  both named two guys from the same team.
• 39:56
  Let's try and name. Let's try.
• 39:58
  And name, essentially, we're trying to by just maiming the
• 40:01
  players, all of us, we're trying to.
• 40:03
  End up at the same player. End up at the same player and
• 40:05
  you can't reuse a player. Got it.
• 40:08
  What if we get it on the first? Is it only the?
• 40:10
  Is it only the Premier League? It doesn't.
• 40:13
  We can limit it to the just Premier League, but do you want
• 40:15
  to not, I think. Because Ozolsky no.
• 40:17
  It's just the. Premier League, Premier League,
• 40:19
  make it easier on ourselves. Oh, do you like this?
• 40:23
  Do you want to try this? No.
• 40:24
  That's true. OK, so we're going to count to 3
• 40:27
  and then we're just going to name a player.
• 40:28
  Wait, let me think what I'm going to name.
• 40:30
  Yeah, let me think too. Yeah, on Three 1237.
• 40:36
  Simmons. OK, so what'd you say?
• 40:40
  I said Semenyo Tico, Said Cesco. You said Simmons.
• 40:43
  OK. OK, 123 Colonel Watkins, what'd
• 40:51
  she say? I said Halon.
• 40:53
  I said colon. OK.
• 40:55
  So we're OK. So we're doing something.
• 40:58
  OK, OK, on three. OK, ready.
• 41:01
  Wait, wait. Wait one.
• 41:02
  Wait, wait. All right.
• 41:05
  Oh yeah, on the Country 123. Marmouche Gawaii.
• 41:09
  OK, Marmouche gawaii. OK, is this this is not going
• 41:14
  well. And we've literally we've not
• 41:16
  we've not done any guys from the same team.
• 41:18
  No. OK, OK, Gwaii Marmouche Japejo.
• 41:23
  What's what's the through line there?
• 41:27
  Can we like this is the first time don't keep?
• 41:29
  Can we try, try ends? We finally came to the
• 41:33
  understanding that we're all leaning forwards and then you go
• 41:36
  and you name a defender. Yeah, that was a little
• 41:38
  absolutely insane. Reggie, the whole thing.
• 41:42
  OK, so this is around 4 ready. Yeah.
• 41:44
  So one. Well, I don't know how I'm going
• 41:46
  to do that. Fuck.
• 41:47
  Oh, shoot. Wait, wait, wait.
• 41:50
  OK, I'm ready. OK, I'll look 3/1. 2-3 Joker.
• 41:57
  You cheated. I was six of my cheated.
• 42:01
  I swear I couldn't be sure I had my hands were I wrote it down
• 42:05
  because I wrote down everyone I named.
• 42:06
  I wrote going Chris. I was going to go solid, but I
• 42:10
  saw that little hand signal. But you already said solid go,
• 42:13
  Chris. No, you didn't say something
• 42:15
  you. Didn't.
• 42:17
  Yeah, OK, stupid game. Yeah, that wasn't.
• 42:19
  Funny watch you a defender like that was really we're getting
• 42:22
  somewhere. They just got defender.
• 42:24
  So just that's, that's, that's the matches, that's the waiver.
• 42:27
  Should we talk about next week a little bit Round 8?
• 42:30
  Get us going. OK, not even force Chelsea, I
• 42:34
  think you're I mean, that's pretty cut and dry, right?
• 42:37
  You, you don't really love. I think right now you're not
• 42:38
  loving starting any, not even Forest assets.
• 42:41
  No, maybe the goalkeeper. Yeah, I was going to say that
• 42:47
  was that was always thinking of. Last year was like top two, top
• 42:49
  three. But what about this year?
• 42:52
  No, this year hasn't been good. I mean, it's it's been like kind
• 42:55
  of crazy and and enjoy, you probably start, you have to
• 43:00
  start Woods. You probably have to start
• 43:01
  enjoy. I don't know if he's been as
• 43:03
  good in the last few weeks. He's been up and down, up and
• 43:06
  down. I think he had a great first
• 43:08
  game, right? He had a yeah, 10 points, 13
• 43:10
  points and 28428. But.
• 43:14
  This is This might be like a trap game for Chelsea too.
• 43:17
  A lot of injuries. No Palmer, No maybe no Enzo.
• 43:20
  SNL might not play a. Lot of guys coming back for
• 43:23
  international break, yeah. So 4 sent a couple of players
• 43:26
  but they sent them to England, so it's not that big of a deal
• 43:28
  so. And it's also, it's also the 430
• 43:31
  game. So it's like, it's like they
• 43:32
  have the least amount of time to rest, recover and train.
• 43:34
  That's a really good point. So that's probably not a
• 43:36
  gambling game, if you know what I mean.
• 43:38
  Yeah, OK, Next game. Brian Newcastle.
• 43:42
  Brighton, Newcastle, What are we thinking there?
• 43:45
  Newcastle Matoma, you star minta, Mr. I think minta.
• 43:50
  Chocolate, Chocolate Minta. Minta chocolate chip.
• 43:53
  That's my new team name. That guy like got no love for
• 43:56
  that. You know what name I like?
• 43:57
  Yeah, but that was so funny. It was, Yeah.
• 43:59
  No, it was good. I liked it.
• 44:00
  I liked it. You know what name I like?
• 44:02
  Bear Tico's. But that's not even Tico's team.
• 44:06
  Someone else just did it to to master though.
• 44:07
  I know it's fucking great. Yeah, that is good.
• 44:11
  OK, I mean, no, I actually like it because it reminds me of real
• 44:13
  magic. It reminds me of myself.
• 44:15
  That's my name. But you know what?
• 44:16
  I thought that was your team, Tika.
• 44:17
  And I was like, oh wow. Like Tika actually found one
• 44:19
  that's funny and like actually works for him.
• 44:20
  And it's like, not even you know.
• 44:22
  Hold up. Just wait.
• 44:22
  He. Just has Quanch.
• 44:23
  I could have been his name for like 10 years.
• 44:26
  I can find funny names, it's not a problem.
• 44:28
  That's you, just, you guys know, very creative and original.
• 44:34
  All right, Newcastle, I think you want to start all the
• 44:37
  defenders. Obviously Lewis Howell's
• 44:38
  injured, Livernmental injured. They're both going to be out
• 44:40
  until like November, December respectively.
• 44:43
  So I think that's what we talked about, the Malik, tha Bachmann
• 44:45
  Char, just all those guys. Just a real quick I don't think
• 44:50
  we talked about the Voldev. Voldemort.
• 44:53
  Voldemort. If we had to rank the three
• 44:56
  strikers like Cesco, Gircrest and Voldemort, how would the
• 45:00
  Order go for you guys? I stink.
• 45:02
  Yoker still goes first, Baltimore 2nd and then Cesco
• 45:04
  third. All right.
• 45:06
  Gilchrist has already scored. He has scored goals.
• 45:08
  I think I got I think I got vote tomorrow and and this even if I
• 45:11
  think as Cesco's going to score more goals, I think Voltemar
• 45:14
  just gets so much more involved at the play when you look at how
• 45:16
  he links up and stuff like this is not the type of strike as
• 45:19
  Cesco is. So like you might like Cesco
• 45:21
  might get more goals in the season.
• 45:22
  Voltorus can have more points in fantasy.
• 45:24
  Give me. Volt, Cesco.
• 45:25
  Go Gilchrist. You've been governor is.
• 45:29
  Lost. I don't, yeah, I don't like to
• 45:30
  go that. That one I'm not sure about.
• 45:33
  He's got how many goals he's got.
• 45:36
  He's got two goals, he scored two goals against leads, so he
• 45:38
  had two goals where he's bullied, bullied.
• 45:40
  One of them was a penalty. He's.
• 45:41
  Only had he's only had two double digit games, 25.25 and 15
• 45:45
  and both those are the ones where he scored a goal.
• 45:47
  Scored yes. And and also like watching them
• 45:50
  play. Sasco looks good, Vault looks
• 45:52
  good, Gilchrist does not like. I just, I just, I've been burned
• 45:56
  so many times betting on Manchester United assets to do
• 45:59
  something that you want them to do.
• 46:00
  And I just feel like I'd still go jokesh over.
• 46:04
  Holland's driving this. This is the Holland that I said
• 46:06
  he would score over 12 goals. It's the Holland that's playing
• 46:08
  in Napoli. He scored.
• 46:10
  He scored today too. Did the Bryan has just sent out
• 46:13
  for him on the fucking silver. Power.
• 46:16
  OK, so Jack, back to Newcastle. I think that what's an
• 46:23
  interesting thing that's happening there is the Elena
• 46:24
  Murphy situation. And it sucks too, because
• 46:27
  Murphy's like nodding when he has started, hasn't even looked
• 46:29
  that been as great. He's not the same guy that he
• 46:32
  was. But he's still creating chances.
• 46:35
  And Liz always had a also had a set back.
• 46:38
  He's going to be out until November.
• 46:39
  Yep, Which essentially if you drafted him is out until
• 46:42
  November, then he's going to go to AF con and then he's going to
• 46:44
  come back. So you're going to get him for
• 46:46
  like, what, 15 to 20 games at most?
• 46:48
  Yeah, 2000. It's a drag.
• 46:50
  It's a major drag for the list of owners for sure.
• 46:53
  Like, yeah, I think, I think there's other than Minta, other
• 46:58
  like a lot of the team is still doing that like crazy rotation
• 47:01
  stuff for Brighton. Minta seems to be that guy
• 47:03
  that's locked in and he's locked on wood.
• 47:04
  You never know when that changes, but.
• 47:07
  The Yaris, the yar, if he starts, I start a yarry because
• 47:10
  he's. You would?
• 47:11
  Yeah. I start.
• 47:12
  Here's one goal. No assess.
• 47:14
  I don't know. I'm not sure if I would.
• 47:16
  The last few games he scored 6 and 5.75 points.
• 47:19
  He did have that really good 17.75 point game, but before
• 47:22
  that he's been 5566 and a half and then that good game, then
• 47:25
  six and 575. So yeah.
• 47:29
  But who else are you going to start if like you're going to
• 47:31
  have your your your midfield ones and twos, but.
• 47:34
  From Brighton, I think from Brighton, I think I'd rather go
• 47:37
  with like the Gruda or something just because he plays higher up
• 47:39
  the field because Gruda is like more of like the, you know, he
• 47:42
  plays in like a 10 or something and it's not great.
• 47:44
  But like his like his average, like his last few games, no
• 47:47
  goals, but he got so all ghost points.
• 47:50
  He got 8 and 7.5, which are like respectable ghost point games,
• 47:53
  you know. But yeah, what about the
• 47:57
  Brighton defenders? Are you guys interested in
• 47:59
  starting them? Then Hecke Dunk probably leave
• 48:02
  those. Yeah, score on goals.
• 48:03
  That's what he got to do. All right, leads Burnley.
• 48:09
  Well, I mean, if you have Jane Anthony, you're starting him,
• 48:11
  right? Yeah, he's at home, Jane Anthony
• 48:14
  School's at home. I I think for both of those
• 48:16
  teams, if there's any like usable fantasy assets, you just
• 48:19
  play them, who cares. Like like Josh Colin, you think
• 48:22
  Josh Colin long stop? Obviously I think that's that's
• 48:24
  a great long stop game. It's taking all the sets, man.
• 48:29
  Yeah, I mean, even Sash, like if he's as long as I'm seeing his
• 48:33
  sets now, Sash is, you know. He's in the box right now.
• 48:36
  Lanky What about like Calvin Lewin?
• 48:37
  Are you starting him? Okafor You talked about him that
• 48:39
  you liked Menza. Yep.
• 48:40
  I start, I guess, Burnley. If you're going to play matchups
• 48:43
  and you have to play matchups, you play them.
• 48:46
  OK, next game. This might be the game of the
• 48:48
  week, guys. Next game Christopher Powell's
• 48:50
  Bournemouth. Defense against offense.
• 48:53
  Or just like 2 over performing teams versus each other?
• 48:56
  And Mattea just played in played for France for the first time.
• 49:00
  It's fired up. Yep, it's fired up I.
• 49:01
  Think you're I think you're all systems go here with everyone.
• 49:04
  They've been you're they've been all the Boeing assets have been
• 49:06
  probably some of your best assets.
• 49:07
  You're going to start them, you're going to play them.
• 49:09
  Not much to talk about there from the.
• 49:10
  Fans, did you play clever if he slots?
• 49:15
  I mean no, but like, have you been playing clever?
• 49:21
  No. I mean, he did score.
• 49:23
  I mean, what he did score 16 points in 28 minutes.
• 49:26
  Yeah, maybe I am starting climate.
• 49:29
  I think the only Rob is that it's against Palace, right?
• 49:31
  That's the only Rob. Says Mark Wade.
• 49:32
  Has been so good. The defenders have been tearing
• 49:35
  it up. They haven't lost either.
• 49:37
  Crystal Palace hasn't lost in like 19 games.
• 49:39
  How about tabernet? They lost their last game.
• 49:42
  Nah tab is did they lost their lost that game.
• 49:44
  Yeah, yeah, they lost their last game.
• 49:45
  Oh. That's right.
• 49:47
  That was nice. I don't think I'm starting
• 49:48
  Tabernet. Maybe maybe I was a little too
• 49:51
  quick to say that I'd be starting everyone because I
• 49:53
  don't think I'm starting Tavernier, but I'm starting like
• 49:55
  my Semenyos. I'm starting.
• 49:56
  I'm Evan Nielsen actually. Yeah, maybe there's a bunch of
• 49:58
  players on Bournemouth. I'm not maybe not starting now
• 50:00
  that I really think about it. That's a good shot because like
• 50:03
  Evan Nielsen has not been great. Great.
• 50:05
  He's had a few good moments. But you know, obviously you're
• 50:08
  starting Semenyos, you're starting True for at San SC,
• 50:12
  you're starting Petrovich. And I think the other ones are
• 50:15
  just, you know, it's a little hard against the team because,
• 50:18
  you know, Crystal Palace is going to be so good.
• 50:21
  Crystal Palace, you're going to start.
• 50:22
  Warren, you're going to start you.
• 50:24
  Can start Warren, yeah, he didn't have a great last game,
• 50:26
  but in general he's been good. I think Pinot's he's, he's got A
• 50:29
  at some point and I think this could be a game where he could
• 50:32
  he's. He's have you noticed that too?
• 50:34
  It feels like he's had a few really good opportunities and he
• 50:36
  just kind of messed them up. Yeah, yeah, it's coming.
• 50:40
  Yeah, it's coming. Jeremy Pinot's coming.
• 50:43
  But all 5 defenders are starting.
• 50:45
  Yep, saw might start SAR in this game too.
• 50:47
  Absolutely. Yep.
• 50:49
  And then obviously, if you have a TADA, you start in, Yeah.
• 50:51
  I think this is. What do you guys, who do you
• 50:53
  think wins this game? Though Palace think Palace wins
• 50:56
  bounce back game tika. 11 I think a tie too.
• 51:03
  I think a nil nil. That's good for the defenders.
• 51:07
  Yeah. I would take that.
• 51:09
  I've got a couple Crystal Palace.
• 51:10
  Defenders, I would love to have every single like all my 5
• 51:12
  defenders, just the palace defenders Oh my God.
• 51:14
  Dude, so you beat first in the lead.
• 51:17
  You'd absolutely be. You could have the worst team.
• 51:18
  Other than that, you'd probably still be. 1st I picked up
• 51:20
  Richards early on in the season and yeah just been tearing up
• 51:23
  him and Mark Wei for me. You have two, are they
• 51:26
  Sunderland? Yeah.
• 51:27
  Me too. Sunderland Wolves.
• 51:29
  I don't think we need to talk about that that much, right?
• 51:31
  Like. Wolves might get their first
• 51:34
  win. Poles might get their first win,
• 51:36
  but they also. Might get a win.
• 51:38
  I hope they. Don't I?
• 51:40
  Hope Sondland wins want to raid the Wolves players at the end of
• 51:44
  the season? I mean, we were talking about
• 51:45
  the Buenos the Bueno brothers were in for.
• 51:49
  I don't, I don't really trust anyone else in that attack.
• 51:51
  Arias has been kind of underwhelming.
• 51:53
  Strand Larson is a society. He doesn't want to score goals
• 51:55
  anymore. He got sick, he didn't go to
• 51:56
  Newcastle. Yeah, turned his head.
• 52:00
  And and Juan is just not, not. No, yeah, he's just.
• 52:03
  Not no, no, no. Not it.
• 52:05
  Whenever you're a guy who shows up.
• 52:08
  God, he needs to take a couple of.
• 52:10
  I think on the Sunderland side, I think the defenders are are
• 52:12
  like humans been good, Alder Latte, whatever's been good.
• 52:16
  Valley's been good. I'm gonna ignore that.
• 52:17
  I heard it, but I'm gonna ignore it.
• 52:18
  And so the fee has a goal, a sealed door.
• 52:22
  A sealed door has. Three goals.
• 52:24
  This is a This is a draw, but with goals.
• 52:27
  I think I mean Sunderland. 2233 same.
• 52:31
  I would love to see Wolves gonna win here though I have to say
• 52:33
  it. I would, I would love to see him
• 52:35
  lose because that means they just put some thousand thumbs
• 52:37
  and like I said, I'd rate this team.
• 52:39
  OK, next thing, London Derby, Fulham, Arsenal.
• 52:44
  Is there anyone on? Is there anyone on Arsenal you
• 52:46
  wouldn't be starting one of? Them maybe not Kilcheres by
• 52:52
  everybody else, even even Zoby * Zoby.
• 52:56
  I thought it was interesting in the last game that Arsenal
• 52:58
  started trustard over Martinelli when Martinelli has been kind of
• 53:02
  been a super sub. He's a finisher.
• 53:05
  That's why he's been coming off the bench and scoring as opposed
• 53:07
  to starting and scoring. OK, What about on the the Fulham
• 53:11
  side? Sasha Lukic just kind of he's
• 53:13
  injured a little bit. Yeah, he got injured.
• 53:15
  We talked about Sassen Young as like an opportunity.
• 53:18
  If Anthony Robinson is ready, you're going to start a will be
• 53:22
  Josh King. What do we think about that?
• 53:25
  I think again, he's he's, he's Rogers two years ago.
• 53:29
  Just a little. Yeah, it looks good on the ball,
• 53:32
  like passes the eye test, but the the decision making and the
• 53:35
  fantasy point value isn't there yet.
• 53:38
  I think that he's a guy that should stay on waivers until you
• 53:41
  start to see a little more. I think people that are holding
• 53:43
  him are probably just wasting a spot right now, even though he's
• 53:46
  getting starts and stuff. So yeah.
• 53:48
  Yeah, you skipped the game. I'm just going down the list,
• 53:52
  brother. Sorry mate, I've put you on the
• 53:54
  last game of the day. No, Tottenham Hotspurs.
• 53:56
  Aston Villa. Is that the one?
• 53:57
  No, I mean CE Evan. I did skip a game.
• 54:00
  Motherfucker, that's all right. City, Everton.
• 54:03
  Greenish. Publish No, he's.
• 54:05
  Suspended. Oh is he suspended this game?
• 54:07
  He's not suspended, he cannot play because of the transfer.
• 54:12
  Oh yeah, wankers. Pebbles afraid.
• 54:16
  He I would beat Sig man 4 assists.
• 54:18
  Big jazz pub. Hey.
• 54:20
  OK, Tico question for you. What are you doing with Savino?
• 54:23
  If he's he started last two games, he's gotten one point
• 54:26
  combined, each of them combined. Yeah, it's atrocious.
• 54:30
  He's been pretty ass. I haven't watched him play so I
• 54:35
  can't really say if he just did a lot of good stuff, but one of
• 54:39
  the games was against what was it like Bradley or something?
• 54:42
  No, yeah, there were games where you'd expect him to score a lot.
• 54:44
  Of it was 5/1 day one and he didn't get like any
• 54:48
  contribution, not a lot of dribble completions.
• 54:50
  But he's also someone else that like hey, like he didn't play
• 54:53
  for how many months? He hasn't been playing for
• 54:54
  Brazil, so he is getting his legs underneath him.
• 54:57
  I do like the fact that he got two starts in a row, obviously.
• 55:00
  And he got a new contract. Yeah, but but he's not going to
• 55:03
  bench Tolko on a weekly basis. Tolko's been amazing.
• 55:06
  It might have been like their best midfielder so far this
• 55:08
  year, but if he starts, I'm playing Salvia because the.
• 55:11
  Two games, yeah. You're still gonna, you're still
• 55:12
  gonna go with them. I just I think 7 defense is good
• 55:16
  man. It is.
• 55:17
  I just think it's a matter of. A matter of.
• 55:19
  Time, yeah, and also like. Without.
• 55:23
  With grillish missing. Which?
• 55:25
  You kind of want to keep an eye on that.
• 55:26
  What if there's like this rare MacNeil star?
• 55:28
  So you might spot start. Yeah, so with Grillish missing,
• 55:33
  I feel like everything's going to have the bowl a lot and
• 55:35
  they're, I mean, city's going to have the bowl a lot and they're
• 55:37
  not going to be like, you know, open, They're not going to have
• 55:39
  an out. Like really it's just such like
• 55:40
  a pressure valid out. You know, like when they he can
• 55:43
  just hold the ball and get fouled and do that.
• 55:45
  Yeah, yeah. Yeah, I mean, I think if I have
• 55:50
  reinders. And Savio in the same league.
• 55:51
  And if I didn't have reinders, I think I might have been
• 55:53
  considering dropping Savio. But now with both, I kind of
• 55:56
  just like play with the one that I have.
• 55:58
  So Johnny's been quietly good. Like he's had a couple really
• 56:00
  good games. But then he's been a little bit
• 56:01
  flat on nervous. I know we had a yeah.
• 56:02
  But I think like I mean other than that zero which is
• 56:05
  obviously. A disappointment like like his
• 56:06
  like floor is close to like 7 points like 675, you know, So
• 56:09
  that's fine. You can get that from your
• 56:11
  midfield 4, it'd be fine. All right, next game.
• 56:14
  I mean obviously other than else you're going to probably start.
• 56:16
  We talked about Everton defenders like Tark and stuff.
• 56:18
  You're going to start maybe O'Brien.
• 56:20
  If I had another option, I might go there just because City if it
• 56:22
  goes bad, it could go bad bad, but I still wouldn't be
• 56:25
  venerally opposed to starting Everton defenders.
• 56:28
  You know, no, I wouldn't be. But like Holland isn't such a
• 56:30
  tear too. It's not necessarily you're like
• 56:31
  stoked about it. OK, let's power through this
• 56:33
  last three, though. Todd and Villa all systems go.
• 56:36
  I think all players, maybe not Villa defenders, maybe not Villa
• 56:41
  attackers, maybe not just Villa guys.
• 56:44
  Do you need to see you need to see a little more from Villa Is
• 56:46
  is that kind of the general vibe?
• 56:47
  Yeah, but he's still going to. You're still going to start
• 56:49
  Watkins. Yeah, I mean, those one four in
• 56:52
  a row, they're undefeated in the at least.
• 56:53
  The last five, like I feel like that like, you know, like that
• 56:56
  early season form. You like think that that's how
• 56:58
  they've been playing like the whole time.
• 57:00
  They're actually like kind of on a much better space.
• 57:04
  Rodgers has to assist. You got to go and assist against
• 57:06
  England. Obviously Watkins had a goal for
• 57:10
  England. So now in toward two in the last
• 57:12
  game. I mean, there's, there's stuff
• 57:14
  going on there. Yeah.
• 57:15
  I've I I still don't think I, I don't think he.
• 57:18
  Don't start these players again. This is still Tottenham that has
• 57:21
  at times we make mistakes on defence.
• 57:23
  Yeah, I know Vicario is the third top goal goalkeeper in the
• 57:26
  in the fantasy right around, but he's had to make a lot of
• 57:29
  shapes. That's why hasn't it exactly
• 57:31
  been clean sheets? Here's the real question.
• 57:34
  Are you comfortable? Benching Xavi Simmons at this
• 57:36
  point in fantasy, thinking about it, but I'm not going to, I
• 57:40
  think. I'm benching him in the league
• 57:42
  that I have him. So I'm I'm Doof as well, and
• 57:44
  he's the guy that I'm debating between.
• 57:46
  His numbers have been so consistent.
• 57:48
  So, well, I just lost Enzo Fernandez, so you might have.
• 57:52
  To Yeah, you don't. You may not have a choice, Yeah.
• 57:55
  Keith, how happy are you with the whole?
• 57:57
  The fab, the the barcode that you don't have Harvey Siemens in
• 58:00
  the main. I got Voldemort and send.
• 58:02
  Yeah, yeah. Fucking motherfuckers save my
• 58:05
  save my team too because now I have an extra.
• 58:06
  Forward. Just made my it's just was the
• 58:08
  best thing that ever happened to me.
• 58:10
  Hey, you know you're welcome. I'll take him off your.
• 58:12
  Hands if you have an extra forward yeah.
• 58:15
  No, no, no. I'm saying that I before that.
• 58:17
  I really only had Salah and then Salonky.
• 58:19
  I just, I was light. So now I'm like I'm like pretty
• 58:21
  good, OK game of the game of like pretty exciting game.
• 58:24
  Liverpool, Manchester United. I'm not really that like I think
• 58:30
  there's going to be goals in this game like Liverpool's
• 58:33
  Millennium Goals, Manchester. United is just.
• 58:35
  A mess. So they're always going to do
• 58:36
  something. Three.
• 58:37
  One. Yeah. 31, Liverpool 3/1.
• 58:40
  Liverpool 31 Liverpool, yeah, because they league, they
• 58:42
  they're going to let the goal. But then Man United can't.
• 58:44
  Score that many? Yeah, if you're honest, they
• 58:48
  can't. I mean, they're due for a
• 58:50
  breakout game. Seska will get a.
• 58:51
  Goal probably assisted by Mason Mount.
• 58:55
  Ekatike will score again and maybe Gakko gets too.
• 58:59
  OK. Who starts for Liverpool, I
• 59:01
  think. Masala.
• 59:03
  Isak Isak and. Akatika, you think I don't think
• 59:07
  they they put out two forwards you.
• 59:09
  Don't think words like words didn't start the last game.
• 59:12
  I I think they played probably words.
• 59:14
  So honestly, like I feel like so beside has been their best
• 59:16
  player and the most consistent player, he's been the most
• 59:19
  consistent, I'll give you that. Akatika has been their best
• 59:22
  player. He hasn't even played every
• 59:25
  game. But the games he's played, well,
• 59:27
  he's like the games. He's played for sure.
• 59:29
  I don't know man. So beside played right back
• 59:31
  attacking midfield kind. Of holding midfield.
• 59:34
  He's kind of been plug and play fantasy wise.
• 59:37
  He hasn't really done a lot of value unless he scored.
• 59:39
  But I think he's watching him. He's just been pretty.
• 59:42
  He's a he's a James Milner right now.
• 59:44
  There's a lot, yeah. It's true, there's a lot of talk
• 59:46
  about McAllister. Not being that great.
• 59:47
  And I think that's kind of shown in his fantasy score.
• 59:49
  I think he's had like one good score, yeah, but I could see him
• 59:53
  slotting out of the team. So beside playing a little
• 59:54
  further back and then like that accommodates words maybe.
• 59:57
  But we'll see us, I think especially if Kurkaz isn't
• 1:00:01
  playing and Robertson's back in and that gives him a little more
• 1:00:04
  solid solidity back there and you know, that allow them to
• 1:00:08
  maybe kind of go a little more offensive.
• 1:00:09
  Jack Will got played by got called out right for the
• 1:00:11
  International. Yeah, yeah, he scored.
• 1:00:14
  He scored today for the Dutch. I just think so.
• 1:00:17
  I think you you think Isak, you think I could take over Isak to
• 1:00:21
  start? I can see that in.
• 1:00:22
  I'm not sure because Ekatika has been awful.
• 1:00:25
  And it's like had a bad international break too.
• 1:00:28
  I think you play Eastside for like 16 then put in Ekatika.
• 1:00:30
  In the last 30. Oh, sucks all right.
• 1:00:33
  Last game of the week. West Ham, Brentford.
• 1:00:35
  Actually, I'm going to be pretty.
• 1:00:36
  Interested in this game? It'll be interesting to see what
• 1:00:38
  happens. Why?
• 1:00:39
  Just just because? Why are you going to be
• 1:00:41
  interested in this game? Because there's there are two.
• 1:00:43
  Teams that are at the lower half of the table that are.
• 1:00:45
  Battling it out like underperformed West Ham, like
• 1:00:48
  Nuno. Nuno is pretty new to West Ham.
• 1:00:50
  I'm curious to see if we can get them kind of going, especially
• 1:00:52
  after having some time with them during the international break.
• 1:00:55
  Brentford likes to play really direct.
• 1:00:57
  You know, they like a lot of long balls, two teams that like
• 1:01:00
  to counter. So that's always an interesting
• 1:01:02
  game. You know who's been good this
• 1:01:03
  year? Good, I get that.
• 1:01:06
  Yes. Is it like top five?
• 1:01:09
  No, he's ranked 32nd overall. He's.
• 1:01:12
  Averaging 10.7 points. Ah, but midfielder wise, isn't
• 1:01:16
  he top five all right, like. 11th overall, 11th still.
• 1:01:20
  I mean, how many? I mean, you know, he has two.
• 1:01:22
  Goals. One.
• 1:01:22
  At least one. Of them was a penalty and might
• 1:01:24
  both of them might have been doing him, yeah.
• 1:01:25
  That screamer against Chelsea, no one was a penalty, yeah.
• 1:01:28
  So I mean, I guess in that sense.
• 1:01:29
  He has two goals, no assess. And he has a solid amount of
• 1:01:33
  points, 75 fantasy points. So that's a quite a bit of ghost
• 1:01:37
  ghost points, huh? And he's getting the minutes I.
• 1:01:40
  Mean, yeah. I mean, maybe just now that the,
• 1:01:43
  the, the gambling stuff is off and maybe he's, he can just
• 1:01:46
  loosen up and play. Maybe he's betting on himself
• 1:01:49
  now. Sheesh.
• 1:01:50
  All right, And this has been episode.
• 1:01:53
  One O 8 of draft offsides. No, I'm joking.
• 1:01:56
  OK, let's do this. Are we doing a bet?
• 1:01:58
  I wish we were going to let it. We're going to let it.
• 1:02:01
  I don't. Yeah, I think.
• 1:02:03
  The week after like. Let's let's follow international
• 1:02:07
  break Yeah off the. Into the July.
• 1:02:09
  We we kind of got burned pretty bad.
• 1:02:11
  Last week, Sergey screwed us over.
• 1:02:13
  We got three right, and Sergey was our fourth and blew it.
• 1:02:17
  Blew it completely, Keith. You were going to.
• 1:02:21
  It was going to be you. You were.
• 1:02:23
  Going to pick just the palace. I said the same thing, but he
• 1:02:26
  did pick him. He's.
• 1:02:27
  Right, he did pick him. Yeah, I didn't pick him.
• 1:02:31
  But OK, so is that the end then? Think that's it?
• 1:02:35
  Can't wait for this new this. New week I could we could talk
• 1:02:38
  about our league, man. Our league is pretty tight the
• 1:02:40
  the main league. What's going on balance first.
• 1:02:43
  I know that, yeah, 5:00 and 2:00, but.
• 1:02:44
  Galacticos is right behind you. He's five and two also.
• 1:02:49
  You know what I was thinking because.
• 1:02:50
  In the the 12 men league, I'm tight for first place if I win
• 1:02:54
  that league. What would be worse if I go
• 1:02:56
  back-to-back in the main league, if I or if I win the
• 1:02:58
  championship in the other league, because that would be I
• 1:03:01
  would have two belts, I would say back-to-back in the main
• 1:03:03
  league. Back to Anglin.
• 1:03:05
  Mainly would be annoying, but A championship?
• 1:03:07
  In each would be annoying too because you could kind of
• 1:03:08
  swagger around in both like both group chats you'd be like big
• 1:03:11
  Dick walk in which would be annoying, which I don't think is
• 1:03:14
  going to happen anywhere yeah there's.
• 1:03:16
  No shot. Why not?
• 1:03:17
  I won. Five in a row, yeah, but your,
• 1:03:19
  Your. Points.
• 1:03:20
  Yeah, well, your points scored. Aren't that great?
• 1:03:22
  Well, we know someone. We know someone else that's
• 1:03:24
  doing what you just did. Last season, no.
• 1:03:27
  So I had two weeks where I swear like 60.
• 1:03:29
  Points. That's when my total points is
• 1:03:31
  off. Yeah.
• 1:03:32
  Well, those are two weeks, that two weeks.
• 1:03:34
  And I'm doing this without Florian Verts.
• 1:03:38
  You have them, Yeah. Oh wow, maybe we can.
• 1:03:40
  Maybe we can pick something up. Maybe we can pick up an
• 1:03:42
  arrangement. What do you think?
• 1:03:44
  Can we do an arrangement Interlea?
• 1:03:48
  Interlea no. And and I'll I'll trade in that
• 1:03:51
  league. I want Volt.
• 1:03:54
