Hello, hello, hello, hello. And welcome to episode 14114.
0:06
Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello.
0:10
And welcome to episode 114 of Dropped Off Sides.
0:13
I'm with Tico Nenzo. My name is Keith.
0:15
We're kidnapped you from fresh off of you Man United defeat.
0:20
How's the field, Tico? It's 10 men. 10 men to 10 men
0:25
too. I know 10 men for 80 minutes.
0:27
You know. 8 minutes and he'd even found one of your players.
0:30
He punched one of his own players.
0:32
Did I? Did not?
0:33
I mean it makes sense you can get a ride for that, but I just
0:35
not never even thought that that could be.
0:37
I've never seen it. It's the first time ever and I
0:39
think they went to var 2, right? They went to VAR that's.
0:42
Yeah, I think they checked it, but also it happened so quickly.
0:44
I watched it and like barely even saw it because it felt like
0:47
such like a like a weird motion. I don't.
0:49
Like it I should be able to hit my own teammate if I want to.
0:53
That's you sound like I'm like an abuser.
0:54
I mean, I should be able to hit my own child.
0:56
You know I should be able to. No, but like, it's weird, man.
1:00
Like why can't I? Like it's my teammate.
1:04
I'm curious of what what it was. What did what did King say to
1:07
that motherfucker for him to punch him?
1:09
I I don't know man way seems like the type of guy that could
1:13
just lose it off a little thing. I don't he looks he looks scary
1:17
the way he was looking on. Do you see boys?
1:19
You see boys comments after the game.
1:22
No, he's like, I like when my players argue like that.
1:24
I mean, it shows that they're passionate and like, it shows
1:26
that they're like, you know. He wouldn't.
1:27
Be saying that anyone had lost. Yeah, I know, right?
1:30
That's so stupid, like why then after every game they don't
1:33
fight against each other? Why doesn't he come out?
1:34
Well, I hate it when my teammates don't fight.
1:36
No, I think he's just trying to spin it, but still.
1:38
Of course. That's funny.
1:40
It's quite funny, yeah. It's it's anytime that OK, a
1:43
player says something post games like, Oh yeah, when we heard
1:46
that we know we're going to have a good, great game.
1:48
So why didn't you say it before the game?
1:49
You know, it's like one of those things.
1:51
You know, I know. I like what you said is like
1:56
when May and I just looks like they're, you know, at a turning
1:58
point. They're fucking Joe Bridal for
2:01
fucking. Double, you know, they, it's
2:02
they're like, they're like a like a deadbeat dad that's like
2:04
never around. And then they show up and they
2:06
bring you a little bit of hope and then they just take off the
2:08
next day. You know what I mean?
2:09
That's like what they are. Hasn't this happened to you
2:13
guys? Like when you go to play a game
2:14
and you see like the opposing team?
2:15
I'm sure it's happened to us when we play together when like
2:18
you see the opposing team is like the men shorter, they're
2:20
missing their best players. So you go in overconfident and
2:22
then you're like the worst game. You get like fucking like,
2:24
what's happening? Why can't we get our shit
2:26
together? It happens all that's it
2:28
happened. It's a lot where you you start,
2:30
you just start playing different because you're a man ahead.
2:32
You you're not really playing the game that you're.
2:34
Just mentally. Mentally, yeah.
2:36
And also like sorely on as well. And then the other team,
2:39
obviously, hey, like, let's get together and like, you know.
2:41
Yeah, there's like a lot, there's like a siege mentality
2:43
that starts with the other team and like it's, it's an average
2:45
and David Moist team. They're going to be a pain in
2:46
the ass. And yeah, OK, on top of that, a
2:50
couple of more news and notes things there's.
2:52
So it was announced by David Orenstein that some Anthony
2:56
Semenya has a $65 million release clause that's going to
2:59
start activate in January, which is big news, just especially
3:02
considering how good he's been this this season.
3:06
Rumors are that United are interested.
3:08
I've also heard Tom they're interested.
3:10
In Man City. Man City 65 mils a steel though,
3:15
right? It is and but I don't think man
3:18
Mancy doesn't need him. Not saying they won't try to buy
3:21
him but Mancy doesn't need him. Not the way Doki is playing on
3:23
that left hand side. Manchester United need him.
3:28
Do they? Do they really need him?
3:30
Yeah, they do. Where Like who fits where?
3:33
Who leaves then? You know what?
3:36
Granted, they need him, but not in that formation.
3:40
Don't know where they play him in that formation at all.
3:42
Left. No, but.
3:44
Striker. Left back but weren't.
3:45
But why would you come to Tottenham?
3:47
Why would you? Yeah, why would you come to?
3:49
Tottenham right now it's not. Tottenham is not that bad of a
3:53
place to be right now. There are two points off the top
3:55
4. I'm not saying that we had a
3:58
good start, OK, very good start, but the last couple games,
4:02
including Champions League has been pretty awful to watch, like
4:06
football wise. I, I think that Tottenham fans
4:09
are overreacting. I think you guys are like, I
4:11
think this is. Me.
4:14
This is gradual, Keith. I've watched the last couple
4:17
games. I think you've watched the last
4:19
couple of managers though. It's like every single time,
4:20
like look at Nuno comes to Tottenham.
4:23
You guys all cost such a huff. He loses, he loses the fan base
4:26
and he's looking at everywhere he's gone.
4:28
Since then, he's been great. I feel like, I feel like you
4:30
guys have to look in the mirror a little bit and be like, we
4:33
need to give these coaches time. Look at United with Amra.
4:36
I'm not mad. I'm not mad, actually.
4:38
Sorry. Let me take that one back.
4:40
But look at like there's a lot of coaches that take a little
4:42
bit of time to get all kind of it all together.
4:44
And Frank has been proven to be able to be a good coach.
4:48
Yeah. It's from from that level to
4:51
there. Don't get me wrong, I don't
4:53
think, I'm not saying it's just a manager, but I'm saying when I
4:57
saw that lineup and I saw that we were playing five at the back
5:01
against a good Arsenal team in a north London Derby.
5:05
Yeah. So you're saying that's how you,
5:06
that's how you it was? Come into the game, it's a.
5:09
Loser mentality. Loser.
5:10
It's a loser mentality. Yeah, it's a loser team.
5:13
And honestly, what? Loser team.
5:18
Fuck you a little bit, but the problem being is our defense has
5:24
been our strength, but doesn't mean you put everything in there
5:26
and throw Danzo in there. You've you.
5:27
I know attacking wise we've sucked a little bit, but you
5:31
still go at it, you still go after Arsenal, you don't let him
5:34
just fucking take the ball and run out, you know?
5:36
Yeah, I get it. I just think that like, you
5:39
know, it's, it's there's a bit of an excuse in this, but it's
5:41
also like you guys finished 17th last season.
5:43
OK, like it gives you so I'm. Just saying, I'm thinking that
5:46
there's been progression and like, yeah, I think Thomas Frank
5:49
just doesn't really believe that you can go to Anfield and win if
5:53
you're playing right at him. So I think.
5:55
He's a pragmatic manager. And this is a game where he was
5:58
this is a game. This is a game where he tried to
6:00
be pragmatic and it backfired. Like, look, I mean the opposite.
6:04
The the alternative is you do the Ands thing and you just go
6:06
at them. But like that, like you guys
6:09
hated that. That's not that's, that's,
6:11
that's going from one side to another.
6:12
I'm saying play the play the team that you played against,
6:15
Man C yeah. Man, C is a great fucking team,
6:18
Yeah. I I think whenever you see the
6:21
line up the manager puts out, you could tell like the
6:22
mentality of the team or where he where he thinks they are and
6:26
going like ultra defensive hoping like I don't know what
6:28
you're hoping on counter attack on like that defensive doesn't
6:31
let in goals. Yeah, like why wouldn't you play
6:34
your your players? I know like I should Javi
6:36
Simmons a lot, but like put in some attackers, put some
6:39
pressures on Arsenal to make them think, hey, like we're here
6:41
to win the game as well. Not like all this fucking
6:44
defensive players in the line up.
6:46
I, I, I don't like it. And it's not just a Tottenham
6:48
thing like anyone. Yeah, OK, OK, let's move on.
6:52
Liverpool, on pace, have the worst record for a defending
6:54
champion. What is going on at that club?
6:58
And then I think I mean, it also is brutal that Flooring worst
7:00
got injured. So not only bad bad start to the
7:03
season so far, but now he's injured.
7:06
I I saw something today I was reading online where it says
7:10
it's always like one of the fans writing it and it has some legs
7:12
to it as well. I think people underestimated
7:15
how important Luis Diaz and how creative a player Luis Diaz is.
7:18
Same thing with Nunez because they did so much of tracking
7:20
back and helping out. Even Nunez when he was playing
7:23
the nine where he gave most Salah more time to like do
7:25
whatever he wants. I also mentioned this like I
7:28
think few weeks ago where that team, last year's the manager
7:32
changed, but it was essentially Jordan club team.
7:36
He brought us so many players and on paper looks amazing.
7:41
Greatest transfer in APL history or one of the greatest transfers
7:43
in APL history. But when you look at it, the
7:46
people who do The Dirty stuff like those players are gone
7:49
like. Yeah, I think that's where like
7:53
why, why slow beside is like now like you.
7:55
They they found they realized they need him in the team
7:57
because he does The Dirty work. Who was we thought might be like
8:00
out of the rotation Has been fucking amazing.
8:03
Probably their best player for the year.
8:05
I think, yeah. Yeah, agree.
8:07
I gave him away for nothing. Oh yeah, last little bit, right
8:11
when Palmer was ready to come back, he injured his toe at
8:14
home, Broke his toe. Not at home, but isn't like
8:19
Chelsea Stadium home is like where he.
8:21
Lives like he like kicked like a like a washing machine or
8:24
something I don't know like what do you how?
8:26
Do you do it? I think yeah.
8:27
He was doing laundry. Fucking dumb.
8:29
Well, so he's probably practicing his fucking
8:30
celebration so that when he got back he wasn't rusty, he just
8:34
fucking smashed his phone. But that being said though, I
8:38
saw that there are photos today of him training on grass so I
8:40
don't know like how bad of it it toeing you?
8:43
Was it break your toe or was it just like?
8:45
It's a fracture. Toes are weird.
8:48
I feel you can just like you can like break your toe and be fine
8:51
along along is like your big toe.
8:52
Yeah, I feel like if you, if you break, if you break your like
8:56
pinky toe. No bro, I'm.
8:58
Just I'm putting, I'm putting like a little thing on that.
9:01
I'm, I'm like, I'm like putting like a little piece of metal.
9:03
I'm taking a little piece of metal out of that and just like
9:04
play that's. Not like your finger where you
9:06
can avoid contact. You are on your feet.
9:09
Doesn't matter what sport you're in, whether it be football,
9:12
American football, basketball, tennis, I don't care.
9:15
Unless it's golf, that toe's going to affect you.
9:18
I'm not sure I'm, I'm kind of joking.
9:20
I don't really know. I've never broken a toe, so I
9:22
can't really speak for it, but I feel, I feel like, I feel like
9:25
there's like a if you, if you break one of your small toes,
9:28
it's probably fine. Let's be honest here.
9:30
Though I mean Chelsea doing that.
9:34
But Chelsea's. Doing yeah, we have two big
9:35
there's two big games. There's Barcelona midweek and
9:38
then Arsenal next week. So we'll see.
9:40
OK, Last thing is Ivan, Tony rumors back from the dad.
9:43
What's that? What's that UFC?
9:46
That UFWWF guy. Undertaker.
9:48
Undertaker. Come out of the king.
9:50
You'd come out of the coffin. Rumours again.
9:54
Coming out of the coffin. Rumours again is Tottenham,
9:59
Tottenham and there's another club, there's another club
10:02
that's rumoured to try. Manchester United.
10:06
Oh, is Manchester United. It isn't the.
10:08
Same people, it's like Semenyo tonic.
10:11
I think him and Man United would be interesting.
10:13
I mean, that's like, if anyone who still has a ton of fab,
10:16
you'd be like really excited about that.
10:17
Yeah, right. You have a ton of fab he's.
10:19
Probably he'd be he'd be a Max Fab type guy.
10:22
It it looks like we're like, hey, like you have this bedding
10:24
incident. Just get the hell out of here.
10:26
Give us like get away from like two different countries.
10:29
Come back in like a year. So he's like a Michael Jordan.
10:32
You know, he disappears. Yeah.
10:33
It's not the Godfather, you know.
10:36
Well, it's like, it's like Jordan where he went and played.
10:38
He played, he played the MLB for like like a year or two, right?
10:42
Yeah, but he was in the state. Yeah, yeah, he was.
10:45
He was. He was escaping.
10:46
Allegedly. He was escaping like a betting
10:48
scandal. Oh yeah, a lot of like that.
10:51
Apparently there's also everything who are in the mix.
10:55
Really. Yeah, they definitely need a
10:57
striker. Interesting.
10:58
OK, interesting. Let's move on.
10:59
We're going to do recaps. We can go quick because we were
11:01
we were just biessing about a lot of stuff in the in the news
11:05
and notes how we recap we missed each other.
11:06
OK first game, yeah, we did burn the 0 Chelsea 2 Chelsea kind of
11:12
cruise was on cruise control in this one.
11:14
The lap gets the second start again and second time he just
11:17
doesn't do anything completely ineffective.
11:19
Tico as of the lap guy, What are you what are you feeling?
11:23
Are you ready to drop? Honestly like I want to wait to
11:26
see what happens when Cole Palmer gets back in the mix and
11:29
also like I spend No 5 on him. Honestly I'm so mad I fucking
11:33
send the trade offer to Ryan the the Chelsea fan in our 12 men
11:37
league. Slim, yeah.
11:39
Slim, fuck it, never respond. I'm like, hey, he likes Chelsea,
11:42
let me just give him away. Like get something in return.
11:45
Piece of shit. Never responded.
11:46
Yeah. Well, he hasn't scored.
11:47
I mean, you can't really plan it.
11:49
This is before we. This is before you traded draw
11:52
Felix for like KDB. OK, that was that was let's not
11:56
let's not talk about the past. What?
11:59
What response did you want? A couple other notes, Pedro and
12:01
Netzo looked really good in this game.
12:04
Fafana and Garnacho both didn't start, which was painful because
12:08
I had them both starting something to my alarm so.
12:11
Enzo Fernandez continues. Enzo Fernandez, I saw S that
12:16
he's has the most goals of any midfielder, most non penalty
12:19
goals of any midfielder in the Premier League since the start
12:21
of last season and people continuing, people doubt him,
12:26
people continue to doubt him. I believe in him.
12:28
That's why I picked him up. That's why I picked him up.
12:31
He's been good. He saved me some.
12:32
He's been very solid some weeks. Totally.
12:35
Speaking of Garnacha, I was this close to buying a Manchester
12:38
United Garden Garnacha jersey today for like 80 bucks.
12:41
That would be cool. I bought a New Jersey.
12:43
Getting derailed. I bought a New Jersey.
12:47
I bought a New Jersey. It's a vintage jersey from the
12:50
1718 season. Premier League team from 1718.
12:55
I'm. I'll give you guys 5 guesses.
12:58
So guess what team it is? No, don't Google Tico.
13:01
Don't go I. Want to see who?
13:02
I want to see who's in the table, who's in the lead that
13:04
year, Maybe Chelsea. It's obviously.
13:07
Chelsea not going to. Be, but Ben will be.
13:09
A. That was your first guess.
13:10
That was your first guess. No, they're no longer in the
13:13
league. There's.
13:14
It's a team that finally got. Relegated.
13:16
Maybe, maybe not. West Bromwich, I'll be on.
13:20
Not W Brom. OK, three more guesses.
13:23
Swansa. Swansea, yeah.
13:25
Not Swansea. Not Swansea.
13:27
Two more guesses. Who else town town was in there?
13:31
Stoke City? Nope.
13:32
And Nope, sorry guys, I guess. I guess you'll find out next
13:35
episode when it gets here. Oh what the hell.
13:38
What a tease I don't like. It OK last last thing Chelsea no
13:43
Esteval he did start for Brazil took a PK over Vinnie Rodrigo,
13:47
which was so weird to me. Why?
13:49
Why? Why would why?
13:51
Who? Who made that decision?
13:53
Because he's the next coming. He's better than Vinny.
13:56
So as the manager for Brazil is Carlo Enchiladi who loves
14:00
Rodrigo and who loves Vinny. Vinny got was the penalty ticket
14:04
for Real Madrid but he missed couple of them now and Boppe and
14:08
Boppe he actually get to of anyone recently he missed it as
14:11
well. So I thought for sure Vinny
14:12
would take it for Brazil just to like help him out with his
14:15
confidence. But when I saw it, it was.
14:17
But they are talking about Esteval like his Neymar.
14:21
Yeah, I think, I think it's really interesting.
14:24
So he played so well and he's he's played really well every
14:26
single time he comes on for Chelsea.
14:28
But I think it's smart for them to just to kind of protect him a
14:31
little bit, you know, and I like and not start him all the time.
14:35
Like, you know, we have two really big games this week.
14:37
I I could see, you know, with Barcelona and then Arsenal on
14:40
the weekend. And I wouldn't be shocked if he
14:41
doesn't start either. But I think him coming off the
14:43
bench is just such a threat because he brings just so much
14:46
dynamicism. But what he doesn't do is when
14:49
what Pedro Netzo does so well is like track back and defend and
14:51
positionally Pedro Netzo is so much better.
14:54
So I think it's hard to start to start Esteval for that reason in
14:58
big games. So that's my take.
15:02
Still a big, big player. OK, moving on, I think, yeah, me
15:06
too. And I think he's going to be
15:07
great. But like, yeah, I think that
15:10
it's just a matter of time. Yeah, we've been on board with
15:12
two West Ham 2 Callum Wilson Brace.
15:15
He took them both really neatly, too. 2 good goals, which we've
15:18
been talking about him. He's been kind of floating
15:20
around. He's on waivers this week, two
15:23
games in a row with goals. Another Danny Welbeck.
15:28
What do we think about what do we think about Bournemouth?
15:32
So they know Simenyo and Croupy who's been good.
15:36
He came in and played in the 10, which I thought was really
15:38
interesting. He ended up having a pretty good
15:40
game too, I think with like over north of 10 ghost points.
15:43
Yeah, so I thought that was interesting.
15:44
Evan, you also not a solid game too.
15:46
I think he had like 11 plus points or 13 plus points with no
15:50
goals or assists. It's a good one.
15:51
Else you want to talk about in this game?
15:54
No, just Bowen's is a shell of the player he was last.
15:58
Season How did How did Bowen do? He go like 7 do you think?
16:01
That that's AI, it feels to me like they're not getting the
16:04
most the the new coach isn't getting the most out of it in
16:07
this position. No.
16:09
Because he just felt really absent, like he just, he didn't
16:11
feel like he made much of an impression on this game.
16:13
He really doesn't have a free role of like you guys lost the.
16:17
Yeah, he doesn't. Yeah, the goalkeeper for West
16:20
Ham had 31.75 points. Did he get like?
16:23
Stopped, he says. Yeah, so he says.
16:26
How many that's? Save the penalty.
16:29
I don't know what else he did. I mean, that's still a crazy
16:31
amount. 10 saves, 10 saves, and that'll handle and save the
16:35
penalty. Yeah.
16:36
Yeah, that'll do it. That'll do it.
16:39
OK, let's see in Brighton 2 Brentford one Welbeck continue
16:43
to score. I think Minta is the kind of the
16:47
the star though. He had two assists in this game,
16:49
scored north of 20 points. What 28?
16:50
Points 28. Now he's now comfortably in 3rd
16:54
place for total points scored throughout the season.
16:59
Been great. Surprised it's been I, I mean,
17:04
he was someone I called out this season.
17:06
I really liked him on both of our teams.
17:07
Actually. I'm a big fan of his.
17:10
But, but I think with him, the concern was minutes and like,
17:13
you know, in the last season, it was that there was so much
17:15
rotation on that team. But like he started almost every
17:18
game and that, that that to me is the difference.
17:20
It's like him playing all the time is, is like really showing,
17:24
showing where he's at there, you know?
17:25
He also has a great first name. Yakuba.
17:28
Yeah. I think the full name Yakuba
17:30
Minta is like just cool. It's just like those are some,
17:33
those are some some vowels, some like, those are some like
17:37
phrases you don't say together. Minta though.
17:41
The curse. You mean the curse has broken.
17:42
I won this week guys. The I'm sorry, did I get any
17:45
credit for that? Keith, you're because.
17:47
You told me you like, alerted me about the curse.
17:49
Yeah. Yeah, fair enough.
17:52
You did you. Did, but it doesn't break the
17:53
curse. Anyway, the curse is broken now
17:57
though, because I changed my name and now I'm going to have
17:59
to change it again. Now I'm going to change it every
18:00
single week until I lose. You're going to lose this week.
18:04
Are you cursing me? Well, you're playing me.
18:08
Oh, your team's playing? Yeah.
18:12
You do have the best team in the league though.
18:13
No, I think you have the best team in the league now.
18:16
No, you the second you start saying the best team in the
18:17
league is when this. This hey, hey, hey, hey.
18:20
The second he started saying I have the best team in the league
18:21
is when my losing streak started.
18:23
I know. So I know, but.
18:24
I do believe it. It was not a jinx.
18:26
I wholeheartedly believe it. Can you guys stop?
18:28
Playing that game, what do we think about Jack Hinselwood
18:32
coming on and scoring? Do you think he has any
18:34
viability? Well, he was he.
18:36
Was played in four games. He was the play.
18:39
We thought that was that one German player that left for.
18:44
Pascal Gross. Pascal Gross.
18:46
We thought he was going to be like another one like him.
18:48
Gross. Yeah.
18:49
But he came in last season and he thought he's going to be a
18:52
utility player like. That, I mean, it's just
18:53
Brighton's like, I think the biggest thing to call out with,
18:57
yeah, the biggest thing to call out is Diego Gomez on Brighton.
19:00
He was, he had had two games with 20 plus points.
19:02
Some big money to spend on waivers.
19:05
Die someone named Sergei in our league.
19:07
You guys might, might or might not know he spent north of 25 on
19:10
Diego Gomez. Was really excited to start
19:13
start him and Diego Gomez got -2.5 points so that stings.
19:19
I don't know what you do there if you're going to if you play
19:23
them again next week. Who they playing or no?
19:27
Forest question. Forest, Forest.
19:30
And they're looking better. They're looking much better.
19:34
OK, switching over to Brentford. Igor Tiago with another goal.
19:37
Otherwise he was pretty quiet though.
19:39
Chico's guy. And then we have 22 with Coyote,
19:43
as it was a penalty. Yeah, he's gonna spread
19:45
penalties. Coyote's been looking good.
19:47
He quietly had another solid game this week.
19:50
Dangle Otara. I like Dangle Otara.
19:52
The more I watch him, the more I like him.
19:54
Like as he's gone on, I feel like there's a pretty good
19:56
player there. Streaky man it is.
19:58
He goes like, hold up for Brazil, right?
20:01
I don't believe so. That's I feel like it's only a
20:04
matter of time. I love Tico's doing all this
20:08
like voodoo, fucking calling shit and then saying he's right
20:13
later on. I fucking hate it.
20:14
You've been good this season. I'm gonna go fucking A.
20:16
Lot of you bitch. Yeah, I know.
20:17
I don't know what I think he must.
20:19
I think like on like on the other side of the camera he has
20:22
like a whole voodoo like set up. He's like like 10 screens and
20:25
dolls. Yeah, no, I think it's just a
20:28
bunch of photos of us with like X's and players with X's and
20:32
it's a whole. Like it's a whole like Voodoo
20:33
set up from It's Always Sunny Philadelphia, that GIF where it
20:36
has like a white board with the strings and like, you know those
20:38
things. That's what you're doing.
20:41
OK, next, next match up full of one Sunderland 0.
20:43
This was a bit of surprise because Sunderland's been
20:45
rolling, but Rahul Jimenez with a good goal here, he's Kevin got
20:49
the start, played 63 minutes and had eleven points.
20:53
Chica, did you? Were you brave enough to start
20:54
Kevin this week? I did.
20:56
He if you did, I'm always starting if he's playing.
20:59
If he's starting, he's starting on my team.
21:01
So you guys are, you guys are like all in.
21:03
All in them is. Going love Kevin yeah, he he
21:07
actually took over took Frenchie Kevin as my favorite Kevin.
21:12
Never. I love the Frenchie Kevin.
21:16
This is OK. We're getting personal, Samuel.
21:19
Chuck Wazy played what, like 19 minutes?
21:22
Yeah, 25 minutes. Got 19 fantasy points.
21:25
He's got an assist. Look at those assistants.
21:27
Yeah, he's. Always monitoring too.
21:30
It is definitely worth more, but you know how it is when you come
21:33
off the bench and you do something big, it's like Wendy.
21:36
Is it going to be like Wendy? Are you know?
21:38
I know that was I was looking at.
21:40
Don't you had the largest increase of roster?
21:43
Like more people are roster in last week than any player and he
21:47
absolutely just disappointed everyone.
21:48
So classic Calvin Bassey had a big game as well with 18.25
21:53
points. Why was that three key passes?
21:57
Tin sheet of. Takeaways 2 points 20 Sheet 5 +
22:00
2 arrows one yeah. Solid, solid, solid.
22:02
Yeah. And Kevin, you're happy with.
22:03
You're happy with 11 ghosts, huh?
22:05
Oh yeah, sounds. Fine.
22:07
And then Sunderland on the other hand?
22:09
What do we think worried about them?
22:12
I mean, the keeper continues just to score, just stupidly, no
22:15
matter a while. Another 10.25.
22:17
Ranked Player. 10th ranked player, yeah.
22:20
Yeah, and Pepper, dude. Pepper.
22:22
Yeah, everyone else pretty much underwhelmed, but that was to be
22:24
expected, you know, just given the situation.
22:28
All right, next game, Liverpool 0 nodding force three.
22:30
This was the shock of the week, I would have to say.
22:35
Fuck, like if it was a one nil winter forest, I'm like, all
22:38
right, they they stole it, you know what I mean?
22:40
Yeah, but it was 3 nil. Do you guys see all those memes
22:43
where it says you never walk alone but everyone left the
22:46
stadium early? Yeah.
22:48
Have you seen the ones with Alexander?
22:51
I suck when you see you went to libul.
22:53
Yeah, I saw those. Those are all so good.
22:56
Those are funny too. And then the foot of him is just
22:58
so funny in that too. Yeah.
22:59
We're talking about giving me flowers for guessing shit,
23:02
right? How about my saying Esock's not
23:03
going to be as good for Liverpool?
23:06
Yeah, yeah, yeah. OK, let's move on.
23:08
Dominic's Lobosly 19.25 coins, He's continued.
23:11
Just to be a stud and a gem. I don't know why anyone would
23:14
ever get rid of him or change him away or do anything.
23:16
But nothing that's. Crazy talk about, yeah, Arnie
23:21
Slat and Arnie Slot gets backing of ownership, Ownership hot seat
23:25
question mark. I don't think so.
23:27
I think he can. He can be bad for a whole
23:28
season. I think it's like if he's bad
23:31
this whole season, then they start bad next season.
23:33
I think they talk about letting him go, but I think it's like
23:36
build up enough currency it'll be bad for a while.
23:38
It's not what if they get they said you can't get fired off to
23:43
win the league the the season 4. You get fired after winning the
23:46
Europa League, but not the Premier League.
23:49
What if they get eliminated from the fake cup and Champions
23:53
League early on like like last year?
23:56
Yeah. I mean, I mean, there's always
23:57
situations, yeah, like I, I think you're right.
23:59
But I'm, I'm just saying that I think they're good enough and
24:01
he's good enough in the whole situation.
24:03
There's enough goodwill that I find it very unlikely he gets
24:05
fired. I just want to say, like when
24:07
we're talking about like, what do we like?
24:08
The next question is like, what do we do with our Liverpool
24:10
assets? Are we starting to panic?
24:11
Like what? Slowest size?
24:12
Slowest size scored 19.25 points.
24:14
Virgin Van Dyke scored 14 points, Salah scored 11.5
24:17
points. You know, like there were
24:18
players that scored McAllister 7.5, Kirka 7.5.
24:22
I mean, not so not the scores you want, but as far as a three
24:25
oh game it could have been a lot worse from a point perspective
24:28
from Liverpool. But Keith, So I get that,
24:31
obviously. Here we come.
24:33
It's fun to shit on them while they're down, but all of us
24:36
think they're probably going to turn things around.
24:37
They're going to be a good team. Obviously probably not compete
24:39
for the EPL this year, but they'll probably finish like top
24:42
4, right? All of us could probably, yeah,
24:44
agree on that. Or close to top five close.
24:46
To top 7. Yeah, but they're going to be
24:49
top five. Yeah, but when you look at their
24:51
assets as of right now, their players, as far as points per
24:55
game, they only have three players averaging double digits.
24:57
Gakboos Soboslide Masala, Gavin Bridge is like 9.65, Van Beck is
25:03
9.33. So obviously like they don't
25:06
have players who are like they're going to fucking like
25:09
have a monster game. Whereas like last year it was
25:12
always obviously Salah. You would have the new CRT, Luis
25:17
Diaz, rest in peace, David Jota, he would come on and you know he
25:21
would, he would do well. So if you like this year they
25:23
don't have, they don't have those type of assets at least
25:26
for the time being. But they do have those type of
25:28
assets that just don't perform me.
25:30
So is this a time where you try to like, fucking collect as many
25:33
of them as you can? Like Pokémon?
25:35
Yeah. Got to catch them all.
25:39
But like, what are the assets that you're going to try and
25:41
collect? Warts is injured.
25:42
I don't think anyone's getting. No one wants to collect Salah
25:44
right now, right before AF con. You're talking like Hugh, like a
25:46
TK. Are you talking like Sloba Sly?
25:49
Like what are the assets that you really even want to collect?
25:51
Like ESAC? Would you even want to try and
25:53
get ESAC? You if you want to try and get
25:55
ESAC, yeah, you want to try and get ESAC glow right now because
25:57
he's playing so badly because. But The thing is, like they have
26:00
the main value. Yeah, you're not going to get
26:03
them low. They have the name value.
26:04
That's the that's the problem. Like Esock has What, man?
26:08
Do you guys know how many points Esock has on the year?
26:10
55. 15. 15, yeah. So.
26:17
Bad He's played five games and started 4.
26:19
Yeah, yeah. I mean, it's just a messy spot,
26:23
but it's also hard to get the like, maybe you can, yeah, maybe
26:26
make a play for Gakwa, maybe make a play for Esock, but maybe
26:30
make a play for but but even the my issue too is with all those
26:36
guys, it's not even that. It's like the chance that they
26:38
might not even be starting. Like you just don't know who's
26:41
going to be starting, which makes the whole thing even
26:42
harder. Yeah, but like if you have let's
26:46
say Gravin Birch as your like midfield 5th midfielder, plug
26:51
him in when he's playing. Not worth it.
26:54
I mean, Gravin Birch has been has been incredibly hit or miss
26:57
in his in his fancy games. So it's that's a tough one.
26:59
But yeah, I know you're saying like, I think like I picked up
27:01
McAllister in the league for that reason, you know?
27:04
What league did you pick him up and?
27:05
Then what? Moreheadedness.
27:08
The league that shall not be named.
27:10
No, because I I say I'm in two leagues with you and I didn't
27:14
see McAllister. Not not the other league, not
27:16
not either of those leagues. So let's move on.
27:19
Let's talk about forests real quick.
27:20
If they've had quite the run, Rio.
27:23
Is back and I can drop that motherfucker.
27:26
Fuck. Actually, yeah, I I have some
27:28
Forest defenders on waivers for that reason.
27:30
I think if we believe in Sean Daish and his defensive, then
27:35
all of a sudden, like all these guys are good.
27:37
Matt Sells, Savannah has had two really good games in a row,
27:41
right? Three really games, Three good
27:43
games in a row from Nicola Savannah, the Italian NECA.
27:47
Williams is always good. You know, he's had two really
27:49
good games in a row. I mean, we're talking about a
27:51
lot of these defenders that all of a sudden this year and that
27:53
could be the new like kind of gold mine that way though you.
27:56
Know well also pop up Matt. You mentioned Matt sells right?
28:00
Last year he was ranked what second?
28:02
Yeah. Goalkeeper.
28:04
Yeah, yeah, totally. Next game, Wolves 0, Crystal
28:08
Palace 2 Palace. Top five players year to date
28:11
are defenders led by Munez. Munez is now the second ranked
28:14
player of the season year to date.
28:17
Feeling good about that second round pickup Tikka.
28:20
I am and it's makes me feel a lot better because I could tell
28:23
Ezo to suck it because he kept shitting on me and his thing he
28:26
could not replicate. It sounds so good.
28:29
My bad, my bad. Do we, do you guys any know
28:33
anything about the the injury to Chris Richards?
28:36
It looks like he was he he he did a slide tackle try to block
28:39
across. So it might just be it looks
28:41
like inside the groin. So if it's light, if it's not
28:45
that serious, he could be good. But they'll probably rest him a
28:48
week and they'll probably miss at least one game in the league.
28:50
Accordingly like it might might just be cramping actually.
28:52
Yeah, so it might be good. According to fan tracks, it's
28:54
just cramps. OK, that's good.
28:56
Nice. We have to talk about Yomi Pino.
28:59
Finally came. Good.
29:00
What a goal. Bit of a banyer at 21 points.
29:04
Finally became good. No, like he finally came good.
29:08
Like, you know, like we've we've been we've talked to him a
29:09
bunch. Like we've we've been like kind
29:11
of like he yummy Pinot is my like equivalent to your Kevin.
29:14
Like I've been like looking at him a lot, being like do
29:16
something, do something. He's finally, he finally kind of
29:19
had that. He had a moment.
29:21
So. Yeah, no, no love for Uche, huh?
29:24
The guy doesn't get any minutes. No, No love for Uche?
29:27
Yeah, No love for you. Check Wolves.
29:29
I don't think there's much to talk about there.
29:30
She's been dismal New coach, so we'll just keep an eye on that.
29:33
I think. I think the biggest bummer with
29:36
Wolves is Hugo Bueno, right? Not He was like, he kind of was
29:39
like a very viable fantasy asset and then suddenly he's not no,
29:42
like he's not even starting games so.
29:44
Like, do you think, yeah, that this game, they they didn't even
29:49
look that good perfume on this one.
29:51
We've said it before, they look good.
29:52
This. They did not look good.
29:53
They did not look good. I agree.
29:55
I don't know how many of these players are even viable to even
29:59
be bought once they get relegated, but I'll be honest.
30:02
I mean, who would you want to buy?
30:05
That's what I'm saying. Strand, I think Strand Larson
30:08
could be good on another team. He's going back to Denmark,
30:12
that's going to Copenhagen. Next game, next game, Newcastle
30:16
two, Man City one. This one not as surprising, but
30:19
I feel like Newcastle is always pretty good at home, you know,
30:23
like they're just, they're a tough team to play up north like
30:26
that. What's?
30:27
Crazy is the players that aren't starting and Harley Barnes like
30:32
doing the same thing he did last time Anthony Gordon was fucking
30:35
up. Yeah, well, Gordon's injured, so
30:38
that that was why that that happened.
30:40
Murphy's been great, right? Mm Hmm.
30:43
So I think Murphy is now like the number one ever link.
30:45
I think he's kind of won that spot, just like he did last
30:47
year. Does this every year.
30:49
Yeah, we talked about, yeah, Barnes, about the Braves.
30:52
Started four games, averaging 14 points in the starts.
30:55
Ruben Diaz scores first goal in four years.
30:57
Wow, that's pretty impressive. No hauling goal over the third
31:02
time this year that he hasn't scored in a game.
31:04
And I think it's like game like 25 or 26 between club and
31:07
country. So that's kind of been
31:09
fascinating. He's slipping.
31:11
Forrest with two wins in a row. If they're not out of the
31:13
relegation zone yet, they're going to be other relegations on
31:15
many soon, right? Yeah.
31:18
Forests. Are they in the Newcastle?
31:19
Am I totally tripping? But.
31:21
Yeah, we'll talk about Newcastle.
31:22
Newcastle. Yeah, no.
31:24
Newcastle, no my fashion. Sorry.
31:26
I don't know. Sorry.
31:27
Bad, bad note from Sergey. Sergey what?
31:29
Forest Two wins in the That was. Whoa, throw him under the bus.
31:31
Oh, that's on you. OK, I know right away right?
31:35
All he does is just put the edit the shit out of this.
31:38
But Forrest did have two wins in a row.
31:40
But we're talking about Newcastle.
31:41
He's around breaking the whatever you write, he just
31:43
reads it. I am Ron Brigandy.
31:49
So. Go fuck yourself, San Diego.
31:54
Anything else in this game? I mean, City players, kind of.
31:57
Bruno let's Bruno another amazing game.
32:01
He had 70.25 who Keith dropped for no reason and I went through
32:05
our trade history. I don't know if I mentioned this
32:07
to you, Keith. I had offered you a.
32:08
Trade you mentioned. It or 25 and you just declined
32:11
it. And then I dropped him because I
32:12
didn't see it or something. I don't know what was going on.
32:14
I don't know. What Chucky dude?
32:16
You just hate me. He was solid.
32:19
I think he had about 14.5 points.
32:21
OK. I think he had a good game.
32:23
He had 14 1/2 yeah, Doku, 16 1/2 Turkey, yeah.
32:29
I mean. Doku's gonna be like.
32:32
Yeah, I mean, Doku's quietly now.
32:33
That's three games up of the digits, obviously with the 20
32:35
pointer. I think the concerning thing is
32:37
a Savio like owners, you know, you're like, I think we're in
32:40
borderline drop territory. I also think it's concerning for
32:45
Phil Photon owners because unlike last year, he's starting
32:47
on a regular basis, but he's not performing like he was two years
32:50
ago. Like he'll have games where like
32:52
10:15 but the goal contributions aren't there.
32:55
And like 2 years ago he was like scoring and assisting a lot
32:58
more. He was a lot more involved in
33:00
the attack. So that's something else that
33:02
he's not a dropable player because obviously he's still
33:04
averaging, what, eight points a game?
33:06
It's just a roller coaster. It's not consistent.
33:09
Yeah, yeah. What about what about Johnny
33:11
Renders now? Are you willing to drop him?
33:13
He's been how to start since October.
33:15
He hasn't, he hasn't had a start.
33:16
He hasn't started in the Prem since October 26th.
33:20
So he doesn't. He hasn't started in the Prem in
33:21
a month. But like, if you look at his
33:23
score before that, they weren't horrible, but.
33:26
Yeah, there there was. That's what I mean like he I
33:28
don't think he's quite I don't think he quite has the upside to
33:30
keep him. You know, I think with Savio,
33:31
the case can be made. There's upside there, right?
33:34
There's enough upside that when he starts, you can you want to
33:36
play him, but Reindeer's, I don't know if it's, I don't know
33:38
if he's there. He.
33:40
Plays so. Well, kind of to monitor, and
33:44
another one to monitor is Marmouche, because he started
33:46
the year off as a starter, then he got injured and ever since
33:49
he's been back, he's been playing 10 minutes or so.
33:52
Yeah, so I mean and Pep is just a headache so you never know
33:55
what's going to happen. OK, next game, Leeds United 1,
33:58
Aston Villa 2. Lee's got an early lead off like
34:01
a round like a crazy, just knock the ball down the box a little
34:05
bit. And then Aston Villa stormed
34:06
back with Margaret 2, Morgan Roger goals, both of them great
34:10
goals. Second one was pick of the bunch
34:13
though, huh? Yeah, with that, just that free
34:15
kick, pretty amazing. We were we were talking about a
34:18
lot in the last episode with Craig and it's just like about
34:21
how he can do this. But then he'll go like 4 games
34:23
in a row with the scoring like less.
34:24
Than five, yeah. So.
34:27
He's another one plus the eye test does really well like
34:31
football wise but fantasy value doesn't really have consistency.
34:34
Yeah, when Dia got the start, he was benched for the second-half,
34:39
so that's not a good sign. He had looked good and liked his
34:42
performances prior to this too. So it's just like he's
34:44
frustrating. He's just a very frustrating
34:46
player. I don't know if I don't know if
34:48
I'm see someone that I like, want to even I might like.
34:50
I haven't been a league and I might be just dropping him.
34:53
You. Know how did Mike Cash do in
34:55
this game? I haven't checked.
34:58
Cash got 9.75 points. He's been quietly having some
35:02
good games. He's averaging 9.3 on the year
35:06
with not a lot of clean sheets. Tillaments is back officially.
35:10
He got the start last week. He came but he wasn't the
35:13
starter or the last match. He played 83 minutes. 6.25 last
35:17
year was really good. The other one is I put it on the
35:20
notes as well. Ross Sparkly.
35:23
All of a sudden he's in the rotation.
35:25
Yeah. How many?
35:27
How many minutes did Brospiker get that?
35:29
21 minutes. Yeah, but I I think he's like a
35:32
SOB. I don't think he's doing much
35:33
more than that. He is, but I think if he gets
35:35
like those, like those weeks where there's like multiple
35:38
games he gets to start, I think there's some value there.
35:41
Yeah, like when when he played for Luton and he was like, yeah,
35:44
for a few. Yeah, that was a what a time
35:47
next game, Arsenal for Tottenham, one as a master class
35:55
first had to be there in what, 30 years to score North London
35:58
Derby hat trick. The funny thing about this, you
36:02
know if Tottenham acted differently or like the transfer
36:05
went their way, it could have been the other way around as you
36:08
could have been cheering for this hat trick, not cussing him
36:10
out. I don't think he would have
36:12
been. Different and just so mad that
36:13
he's, you know, you never think you guys were going to get him.
36:17
What are you saying? No, it wasn't.
36:18
It's not that I wasn't. I didn't think we're going to
36:20
get him is the fact that I don't, even if if he was on the
36:22
Tottenham team, I don't think he was on the same thing against
36:25
Arsenal, just the way we're playing offensively.
36:29
You know what? I.
36:29
Mean, I get that. Yeah, it.
36:32
Had to be him though, I get it. I get it.
36:34
I get it. I mean, yeah, he was definitely.
36:37
I mean, he was just, the goals were weirdly similar, all of
36:40
them, weren't they? Like they're just kind of just
36:42
him, like picking up loose balls in the box and snapping them in.
36:45
Well, no, he's really good at. That he's really good at just
36:48
hitting it, and he was hitting him to the corner.
36:50
Can't fucking do nothing about it.
36:52
Yeah, just like that place. That's not power placement,
36:54
power, Anthony. Yeah, awesome.
36:57
Looks good. Shanka got the start, got a
36:59
goal. Sanka's saw fine, right?
37:02
I don't know. I don't.
37:03
Know is he? Has he been a disappointment
37:05
this year? So I think he's been a
37:07
disappointment. No, he's been quiet, but quietly
37:11
good. He's been quietly very solid,
37:14
like he's the 12th ranked player.
37:15
And that was after missing a bunch of games to start the
37:17
season. Troftha was the one that lost in
37:19
the gym for Arsenal. No assists Taca Hazard.
37:22
I read somewhere that Taca Hazard had an assist in the in
37:26
the Premier League since last year.
37:28
Shit, he let's see, last year he had an assist.
37:32
What was the last time he had an assist?
37:35
November 30th against the West Ham where he had three assists.
37:38
And that was 2024. Last year.
37:41
Yeah, so there was a year ago, it's been a year since he's had
37:44
an assist in the Premier League, which is weird, but he's been
37:46
scoring goals. I mean, let's put it this way.
37:48
Let's look at his. I have his numbers right now,
37:49
his his points per start. Sakas is 12.7.
37:52
You're happy, you're fucking. That's not this point at all.
37:55
No, that's that, that's. Fucking those points per star is
37:57
a little star is a little low 8.7.
37:59
So that's those are for 12 point sevens comfortably first round
38:02
members. I don't know why for me, when I
38:04
click on like the player profile, it doesn't show last
38:06
year how many points they had total or averaged.
38:09
I don't know if the same thing for you guys are not on fan
38:11
tracks, but the year before he was averaging 17.
38:13
The year before 13.7 last year, I think he was like 1516 points
38:16
per game. So again, like he's playing
38:19
really good. I'm not saying like he's playing
38:21
like shit, but like yeah, this guy was a consensus like top two
38:24
pick, maybe top three. I think that perspective I.
38:28
Think he's comfortably in a finish in the top ten in the
38:31
season, right? Yeah, Potentially even
38:34
competitive. It's just, I mean, he missed,
38:36
like he missed like 1/4 of the season that's been played so far
38:39
and he's already 12th, you know what I mean?
38:41
Yeah, so I think Trussell's the Jam at all.
38:45
What else, Trussell? What'd you say?
38:48
I said Trussell's the jam. He's also like coming through,
38:51
like taking over for Marnelli. Feels that way.
38:54
Feels that way, especially where he was getting drafted, you
38:57
know? I I don't think even though he
39:00
was getting drafted in all the lease, I think I got him off the
39:02
Weavers. Mm hmm.
39:04
I mean, crazy, right? The one that you you go have
39:07
think about is Matter Wacky. Like Matter Wacky can't seem to
39:09
get his fucking foot through the door after getting a couple of
39:11
starts early in the season, and he played well for us on those.
39:14
1st after around 15 by the way. Yeah, but he was always going to
39:18
be a backup and like he's coming off an injury and stuff.
39:20
I think it's more interesting. It's gonna be really interesting
39:22
to see what happens when Odegard comes back and like how the
39:24
effect does as a just Odegard start as they start, what goes
39:28
on? Because as they play on the
39:29
left, the Odegard plays in the 10.
39:32
Yeah. I mean, Sergei said he thinks
39:35
what's his face is going to get matched eventually what they
39:37
got. Yeah.
39:39
The Captain. After that historic run of
39:42
Arsenal defense, they have now had two games in a row with no
39:44
clean sheet. Are we concerned?
39:47
I'm not super concerned because that was such a fluke.
39:48
The retail single was such a fluky thing.
39:51
Great, great play by Richardson. Like all credit but.
39:54
How was that fluky, Keith? And he, he.
39:57
You're saying I can hear you say something we can't hear.
39:59
You're opening your map, but we can't hear you.
40:01
We're not hearing words. Really, the The sound's gone.
40:04
You can hear me? No.
40:07
No, it's so delayed. Oh goddamnit, Enzo, what do you?
40:12
Want me to do ma'am? I'm if.
40:13
He comes back, he's still a frittata all.
40:16
Right. Well, just carry on the.
40:20
Funny thing about the Arsenal, two games in a row with killing
40:22
sheets. All right, Yeah, go ahead.
40:25
The Sergei cut that out, please. I don't want that in that
40:28
episode. No, keep it in.
40:30
I want her to know I'm talking about her.
40:33
Keep it in, that's what she said.
40:39
She did the they've had four games where four games where
40:47
they let in goals and it's been sequences of back-to-back games.
40:51
Interesting. Yeah, that is interesting.
40:52
So you think there's no goals for a while after this?
40:54
Yeah, Yeah. That's a trend.
40:56
Yeah. OK, cool, cool.
40:58
OK. Are we worried about Taunton
40:59
assets? I'm a little worried about
41:00
kudos. Ansel's my banker.
41:03
I'm I'm a little worried about Muhammad Kudis.
41:05
There's now a few games in a row where he's been pretty
41:07
underwhelming. I think, I think the league, I
41:09
think. You should be worried about
41:10
everyone on top them. Yeah, I think Kudis was the.
41:16
Yeah, Kudis was the only bright spot.
41:19
Bright spot? No, not so much.
41:22
Yeah, he's the only one who's in double digits.
41:25
Richarlison is their second best player, which is never a good
41:28
sign. And then it's who was Pedro
41:31
Porro Sicario, Mickey Vander? Yeah, it's.
41:34
I mean the last, the last three games Malcolm and Kudos has
41:37
started and played, he's his high score is 3.5 points.
41:41
That's rough. Man, do we think Solanki comes
41:46
back and helps them out in any way.
41:48
Yeah, Yeah, I think so. I think having that big presence
41:51
up there, it's going to be helpful.
41:53
You think that much of an upgrade over Richard Lesson or
41:56
you think they play him at the same time?
41:59
Well, it's Kuleski for sure. I think we all agree that
42:01
that'll be a. Better way that's later on.
42:03
That's later on, yeah. Solanke, I think Solanke's a lot
42:06
closer to coming back and I think he will help.
42:09
But I like, I think I'll just be like, now it's like, hey, we
42:11
have this big strong guy in the box, let's kick some balls this
42:14
way. And that also might mean that
42:15
there's like right now, that left side is, is there's it's
42:19
like a rotating cast of guys playing there.
42:21
And I think Richardson has been successful from the left too.
42:23
So I can see him playing there. I can see them kind of just
42:26
playing a simpler form of football and having, you know,
42:28
Salonki there. When do we think Javi Simmons
42:31
gets back into the lineup? Like does he start or they kind
42:35
of try to like bring him off the bench working?
42:37
In I mean I'm getting closer and closer to drop zone with.
42:40
Him. Really.
42:41
Yeah, I told you. I mean I'm waiting till, I mean
42:43
he has another what, 3 weeks to prove something to me?
42:47
Three weeks. That's it.
42:48
Yeah. What?
42:49
Till like Christmas time and then And then he's.
42:51
He's done. Ezra, are you, are you going to
42:55
drop him or are you going to stick to your guns and keep him?
42:59
Diamond hands. Diamond hands.
43:02
Enzo's just nodding. Enzo.
43:04
'S just nodding because his voice is.
43:06
And he's doing separate fingers. OK, last game of the.
43:09
Week like a cheerleader. Man U Chester United 0 Everton
43:13
won cheering Juice B Hall with a bit of a banger of a goal to put
43:18
them up when they were after they've been reduced to 10 men
43:20
we talked about at the top of the show.
43:23
Whoa, this is a crazy one, huh? May night, man being May night
43:29
just. Breathing.
43:30
OK, I can't do this anymore. Enzo, can you leave and come
43:33
back? We, we got to we got to figure
43:35
this out. Can you, can you, can you
43:36
hopefully do something? This is driving me crazy.
43:40
You know, it started happening. I thought maybe it was just me.
43:42
And then when you said something, I was like, Oh, no,
43:44
it's, it's just. Drives me crazy.
43:49
You know I'm going to make him do an Internet speed test, see
43:52
how fast his Wi-Fi is. Please do it.
43:57
He'll somehow. Yeah.
43:59
He'll be fine. Everything's fine.
44:01
Everything's fine. Oh shit.
44:04
Is it better? Yes, it is better say say
44:06
something more. Fuck you, Keith.
44:09
OK, great. Yeah, we're back.
44:10
Perfect. I thought it was that since this
44:12
was going to end with Tico. OK, so Man United, Everton, I
44:20
think the biggest cost. Obviously KDH had a good goal.
44:23
Tigo says he likes KDH. You like KDH, like enough to
44:27
marry her? How much you like?
44:29
To have him on my team. No.
44:32
Enough time. For.
44:34
He's rostered in 75% of leagues. His last two games have been
44:38
60.75 and 18. He's out of.
44:40
He had like 5 pretty like sub five point games before that.
44:45
So yeah, I mean, just one of those guys.
44:48
How's the doing around there? How's endai E endai?
44:54
He's been a little bit underwhelming recently, right?
44:57
Yeah, and James, But he's so lucky.
44:59
Boy. He still looks good.
45:00
I've I've been saying I've been saying this about Greelish for a
45:02
while now. I think people are living up
45:04
Greelish look bad like to the point where like it was like was
45:06
he playing this game bad? Keep being the honourable person
45:09
that I am, if you want to go do a trade back, I'm willing to do
45:12
a trade back. For Greelish.
45:14
Greelish and Gordon. A little too late for that one,
45:16
brother. Dick twice you screw me over.
45:20
Actually, I don't know, I like that's actually a good, good
45:22
question like your. Garbage from my garbage.
45:25
Yeah, I like that. I don't know.
45:27
I don't know if I would take Relish right now.
45:30
I don't know if I'll take Gordon, who's injured.
45:31
Well, you're just back to health first.
45:34
You just offered me, so now your word is your bond.
45:36
He doesn't have any noise bond. Well, if he cuts out this part
45:41
from the podcast then you know. I'm going to just say this like
45:45
Tico. Tico switches sides more than
45:47
the Italians in World War 2. Did the Italians switch sides or
45:51
what? Were you They did a switch side
45:52
of all? Yeah, I don't know what you're
45:53
talking. About.
45:54
They switched sides twice. What?
45:58
Yeah, they were too. Yeah.
46:01
They were. They did.
46:01
I don't. Maybe.
46:03
I don't know. OK, let's stop.
46:04
This is not. I was going to Google this.
46:07
Diallo had his best game from the Bose ghost points
46:11
perspective. I think it was close to 16.
46:12
Xerxi got the starting at 11.75 all ghosts.
46:15
There's a lot of like. He had a few really good headers
46:17
actually that Pickford made a really good save song.
46:20
We're talking about KDH Breelis. 4 games with less than 10
46:26
points. How did the rest of the United
46:28
players do? How?
46:29
Did Bruno do? Did he play?
46:31
He had like 8:00-ish points. It's not bad.
46:34
Not bad, but not good. 7.5 So now he's he's sitting, Bruno's
46:39
sitting. He's the 4th ranked mid 12th
46:43
ranked play overall still good. It's kind of what kind of what
46:46
we said was going to happen. Yeah, surprise they McGuire
46:50
didn't score a goal, though in this game.
46:52
Perfectly honest. He's the one, that's why.
46:54
Oh. I thought he was, I thought he
46:55
was on the bench. No.
46:57
So Italy switched sides from the Axis powers to join the Allies
47:01
after they were conquered by like half of it after Sisley was
47:04
invaded and Mussolini was overthrown.
47:07
So it's like they got conquered. They didn't switch sides.
47:09
They had a new leadership. No, they switched.
47:12
It was just once, it wasn't twice.
47:13
It wasn't twice. Why they switched sides?
47:16
All right, moving on, That was the last game of the week.
47:18
We're going to head into waivers now.
47:19
Thank you for the history. Less antique.
47:20
I don't think another another attempt to to false information
47:26
from Enzo. Fake news, as they say.
47:30
OK, it was probably true. You guys want to hear something
47:33
else about World War 2? Sure.
47:35
So obviously, like I was born in Armenia and my parents got the
47:39
education from the USSR, Soviet Union until coming to America
47:42
the way they like they learned history.
47:44
But part of Armenia being part of USSR is the Battle of
47:47
Stalingrad, which has the movie Enemy at the Gates.
47:49
Great movie if you guys seen it. Great movie.
47:51
Yeah. So it's about that.
47:52
Or they're saying that the reason Germany lost World War 2
47:55
is because of Russia. And in their ways, like, oh,
47:58
America joined the war towards the tail end.
48:00
But when I moved here and during the history classes, no talk
48:04
about the Battle of Stalingrad, no talk about Russia.
48:06
They're like, oh, Jeremy was going to take over.
48:08
And then America came to save Europe.
48:10
Were you? Were you like the War Boy?
48:12
Were you like my, my, my, my, my, Mama said.
48:14
And. I think it's a little bit of
48:18
truth to the right. Like, weren't there, weren't
48:20
there way more casualties like the Russia?
48:22
Russia bled the Germans pretty bad.
48:25
Yeah, on the financially. Like, yeah, like forced it
48:27
forced Germany from being able to, like, really focus on the
48:31
West. Also like the ego on you when
48:33
you look at the map you see Russia like takes a pass to like
48:36
earth. I know you're like just invade
48:37
you to conquer. This somebody soldiers?
48:38
Yeah. OK, sorry, let's let's not get
48:40
too sidetracked here, OK? Waivers.
48:44
Also one last thing, apparently I don't know if you guys know
48:47
this, if you saw this or Adolf Hitler has a micro penis or had
48:50
a micro penis. I did.
48:53
I saw headline. I'm sure you read the whole.
48:55
I'm sure you read the whole article.
48:56
Yeah, but I, I just, I just read the headline.
48:58
I had read before he only has one ball, you know, I called him
49:01
it. Was a lot.
49:02
I explained a lot. Yeah, it's a song from England.
49:04
We had Hitler. He's only got 1 ball.
49:07
The other is in the You never heard that song.
49:10
No. Why would we do that?
49:11
You have to. You have to chance the whole
49:12
song though. You have to sing it first.
49:14
Sorry Hitler, he's only got 1 ball.
49:16
The other is in the album. Oh that fucker.
49:19
I can't remember the rest. After that, there's some.
49:21
OK. Is that the lullaby?
49:22
Your Grammy? Thank you while you went to.
49:24
Sleep. It was a it was a cheese.
49:27
OK, OK, let's go guys. Come on, let's focus here.
49:30
I'm trying to First one on waivers.
49:32
Colin Wilson Ford, 25% owned two weeks in a row with goals.
49:36
He's looked very healthy, which is the biggest thing for him
49:39
under Nuno. He could fulfill the wood roll.
49:41
Yeah, but he's like Reese James and Danny Welbeck mixed into
49:45
one. OK.
49:47
So how much fab you putting on Callum Wilson?
49:49
Xerox I got none. OK, but if you were helping
49:54
other people out on a podcast and you had to.
49:56
Make a suggestion. 10 FAB, 10 fab is worth it.
49:59
What about? You I wouldn't put a fab on
50:01
them. I'd probably go 5-6.
50:05
I'm not a believer. No, 6-7 I'm.
50:08
Standing 6/7 stupid Harvey Barnes is on here but he's
50:12
actually 55% owned but it's a shout that Harvey Barnes has
50:15
been great and you if he should be checking because there's some
50:18
of these where he's like consider about 45% of leaks he
50:20
is not owned so. Worth it.
50:23
So good. Good shout.
50:24
Don't want to go too much and then though next one on here.
50:27
It's it's really for all forest offenders, but I wanted to shout
50:30
at Nikola Milenkovich. Maria is going to steal the
50:32
headlines this week. He's scored a ton of points, you
50:35
know, whatever. But like, when you look at last
50:39
year, Milankovitch was the much better asset to own.
50:41
Couldn't 2 and so was he. Yeah, definitely.
50:46
So if you extrapolate that through the whole season, I
50:48
think it's possible. Like if we if we think that
50:50
Force's defense is suddenly going to be much better and much
50:52
closer to last year, I think that Milankovitch might actually
50:55
be the sneaky one to own. And just real quick for force,
50:58
the next opponents are favorable.
51:00
Brighton, who's hit or miss Wolves, that's a clean sheet
51:03
possibility. Everything doesn't really score
51:05
a lot of goals. And then there's Tottenham and
51:07
Fulham, so they have a very friendly schedule.
51:10
They do. Yep, Yep.
51:12
Next one, Yami Pino, we talked about him earlier, 40% owned.
51:17
I mean, he's he put a good game together, which is the first and
51:19
foremost thing. I think the other part of it is
51:21
that AF con is coming up. We got to start thinking about
51:24
AF con and Ishmael Assar is going to AF Con.
51:28
So there's going to be space in that attacking triad or, you
51:32
know, quad for a Yami Pino to be starting all the time.
51:36
So very much worth, very much worth keeping him on your radar.
51:40
Another one. I actually don't know.
51:41
The more I thought about this, I'm not sure this is a great
51:43
one, but Lucas Dementia from from Leeds, he's a Ford 10%
51:47
owned. He's had a goal in each of the
51:48
last two games. So there's something to note
51:50
that the goal wasn't the best goal.
51:52
And also his ghost points are terrible.
51:57
So I think like it's one of those things if you were trying
51:58
to rot it, ride a hot hand, there's definitely worse guys
52:00
you could go for. Yeah.
52:02
But Leeds next three matches. City, Chelsea.
52:05
Liverpool. Yeah, so I don't know, but that
52:08
that's one that that was kind of been popping up in discussions
52:10
and stuff and that yeah, yeah, maybe even, maybe not.
52:14
Just just something to think about or talk about.
52:17
Last one on here, that's like for sure is, is King Kappy?
52:21
Obviously Arsenal, he got the start.
52:23
I think we were kind of I was thinking that it was going to be
52:25
mascara last week because I thought that he played more and
52:28
King Kappy hadn't started a game yet.
52:30
But it's I think just him being left foot in.
52:32
He's just a natural replacement for Gabrielle and he played
52:35
great. He looked really, really good
52:37
and it's on him. He just looked really
52:38
comfortable, so I think. He's.
52:39
Going to be pretty locked in. Yeah, but he didn't really have
52:42
to do anything. But that's an Arsenal defense
52:44
that's been really well so. What, So even knowing that
52:48
Hinckapi is going to probably be like a short term thing with
52:51
Gabrielle back in a month, which is not that short term, but you
52:53
know, potentially 4 game weeks, I think you can put some valve
52:56
on it comfortably. Not too much so.
52:59
What, like 7-8, nine fab 10%. I mean, maybe not, maybe 6756.
53:06
Yeah, I like that. OK, two notables.
53:10
I just want to shout out too from waivers.
53:12
Lewis Cook first started the season for Bournemouth, played
53:15
right back. He had like 19 ghost points.
53:18
Yeah, it looked really good. Not his usual role and he
53:21
probably won't be playing there since, you know, the head of the
53:23
holding mid might not be getting that many points, but just worth
53:27
noting that he's he's pretty solid.
53:28
And the next one is Nikola Savanna, something on that.
53:31
Whatever for fours. We talked about their defense in
53:33
general, but he's had two or three solid weeks in a row and
53:38
yeah, he's just kind of come out of nowhere.
53:39
So definitely guys to note. OK, Definitely guys to note.
53:44
OK, game week 13. I do not want to go through each
53:48
individual game. Are there any ones you guys want
53:50
to talk about specifically? Well, all right, let's see.
53:52
So Brentford, Brantley not interested City leads, not
53:56
interested Sunderland, Bournemouth, not interested
53:59
everything Newcastle. That's a good defenses.
54:00
So that won't be it would be might be a good one.
54:03
But we we do have a couple of Darby's, Tottenham, Fulham,
54:05
Chelsea, Arsenal, obviously, I think those are the highlights
54:08
of the of the week. And then what else is there?
54:11
The other one is Palace United that I'm interested in
54:15
obviously, and then Liverpool West Ham, just to see like if
54:18
Liverpool's going to ride their ship or not.
54:21
Yeah, it's like it's not the West Ham team of a few weeks ago
54:24
either. So they but West Ham's been
54:25
looking a lot better. I mean, they tied board with
54:27
two, two last week and Liverpool has been so like that.
54:31
So I don't know. I mean, I I like, I definitely
54:35
would not be betting on Liverpool these days, but I'm
54:38
also looking at that Man United, Man United going to Crystal
54:41
Palace and have so going to London, having to play and it's
54:44
a after it's a like a mid afternoon game.
54:46
Like that's a that's a pain in the ass for United too,
54:48
especially after coming off a loss.
54:49
They're they're a little rattled.
54:51
There's some tough ones here, you guys.
54:53
Yeah, they're all tough. I'll be honest.
54:57
They're all tough ones. That's an easy one.
55:00
Oh, that's an easy one. That is an easy one.
55:03
Who's Sunderland Lee's playing? Is it?
55:05
Bournemouth, I think every other game is very tricky.
55:08
Sunderland playing Bournemouth, Leeds is playing City.
55:12
City. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
55:15
Well, I think he should be. I have my, I have my game.
55:16
I want to bet on Tico. Do you have the odds up?
55:19
Let me pull that up right now. Newcastle's playing away from
55:22
home, they've been, they've been pretty bad away from home, so
55:25
from the every time standpoint it's a warning.
55:28
So who you going with? OK, I'm, I think I want, I want
55:32
to see what the odds are, but I'm, I'm liking, I'm liking
55:36
Brentford against Burnley. So Brantford is -2 O 2.
55:45
Damn, that's really bad. I mean, not like, all things
55:48
considered, Yeah. Something that I don't know,
55:50
something that'd be a little closer even.
55:53
Oh, back to the drawing board. I mean, this is a tough one.
55:55
I like, are we going to do we want to do a parlay again?
55:58
Is that what we want to do? This is what we do.
56:00
This is what we do. Just doesn't like it.
56:04
I've just been getting getting punished recently.
56:07
Tottenham's plus 111 if you guys want to punish.
56:12
Yourself. Let's do Tottenham.
56:14
I'll do Tottenham. Oh, against Fulham.
56:18
Where is it? I.
56:20
Saw this Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and so that's yeah I
56:24
mean, they haven't done well there, huh?
56:25
I think they're gonna, I think after this week they're gonna
56:28
have to come out and they're gonna have to attack.
56:32
I, I, I'm, I'm thinking Tottenham, I'm.
56:34
Taking I'm going villa, that's -195.
56:38
OK. I'm going.
56:40
You want to. I'll take city.
56:43
Yeah, let's just do it. Let's just let's just go, let's
56:46
go pretty, let's do it. But I like this bat.
56:48
Three teams keep it simple. +3 or 4.
56:51
Love it, hey. Arsenal's odds are plus 116
56:56
they're playing Chelsea. Yeah, at Sanford Bridge,
56:58
Chelsea's. I mean, look at Chelsea's last
57:01
five games. Man, this, this would be so
57:04
enticing to bet on if if we knew what the Palmer situation was.
57:10
I doubt he, oh, he's missing my three games.
57:12
Honestly, he's missing. I mean, I don't, but he was
57:14
training on grass this week so who knows.
57:17
I think they. Suck a little piece of metal on
57:19
his pinky toe and said got. There, I know, Maresa said.
57:21
He's going to be out the next three games.
57:23
I would love for him to back this game.
57:25
Don't be wrong. If we add Arsenal, it becomes
57:27
+773. I don't mind that because if
57:31
they lose if, if anything I could just do that because if.
57:35
It's an emotional hedge. It's an emotional hedge for me.
57:38
I'm OK with that. It's also on the, it's also the
57:42
last game, so if we hit everything else, we could like,
57:45
you know? Yeah, I like that.
57:47
OK, all right. Those are the games.
57:48
So are we going to talk about the Darth Vader fucking thing
57:56
that's happening in our fucking main league?
57:58
What's there to talk about? We're going to get.
58:00
Well, Tico, Tico switching sides.
58:05
What do you mean? Oh hey, Tom.
58:08
Ho ho, ho ho, I'm on. Your our whole league is against
58:11
us. I don't know.
58:12
I understand. Actually our whole league was
58:13
more our whole ego's against me and then some of you guys have
58:16
gotten roped into it and now that now that like.
58:19
Now that you deserve it for changing the rules when I
58:21
didn't. Change for yours.
58:23
I can't the rules the same. That's what you.
58:24
Guys are really, we have the we didn't.
58:26
Change the rules. We are The Three Musketeers and
58:30
Sergei is d'artagnan. OK, so it's 4 Musketeers all for
58:34
one-on-one for all mate. Yeah, I I don't really like what
58:38
you've been doing. You've been playing both sides.
58:40
You have been playing. Both sides you are like the
58:42
rapper you are. Like you're the you're the son
58:45
from a divorced parents and you're playing both sides.
58:48
To be fair, I never took the side of the podcast, I always
58:51
took the side of which of the makes no sense.
58:57
Well, it isn't the rebellion. No, we're the.
59:00
Rebellion, all right, Let's We don't need to talk about
59:02
anymore. Fuck you.
59:04
Hey, in both leagues I'm in contestion to, you know, close
59:08
to 1st place. Are you?
59:10
You're not close to 1st place in the main league.
59:14
I'm not mainly 12 man league. What about the 12 man league?
59:17
Yes, I am. There's like one person run away
59:19
with it. Are you?
59:22
Yeah, Ralph is crashing. No, there isn't.
59:24
I'm I'm I'm six points back in both of them from first place.
59:27
Chris, then who are you? Thomas.
59:34
Yeah. I'm six and six in both league.
59:36
I've never, I've never been this way before.
59:38
I've never I've never felt like this before, guys.
59:42
I've never felt like man I. Haven't been this way before
59:44
ever. Sucks.
59:46
Mediocracy. I'm just gonna I honestly feel
59:49
like that I I got to not freak out and just ride the ride the
59:51
ship, you know, have strengthen my convictions here.
59:54
You know, that's what. I'm saying I have.
59:55
No, no. You just know what he said.
59:57
Why I have I have a good. Team I have face in my players.
1:00:02
That's. The problem, Enzo, we OK if you
1:00:07
had a good team, they you have a losing record.
1:00:08
What do you mean you have a good team?
1:00:10
What my what's my record final I'm?
1:00:12
Pull up your team right now. 5:00 and 7:00.
1:00:15
In what league? Olympic, Milan.
1:00:19
Yeah, but there's like a bunch of people.
1:00:21
Let's do this after I'm let me, let me let me close up the
1:00:23
episode, guys. Let's just we're so we're just
1:00:25
rambling here. This is we don't have to run
1:00:27
114. My name is Keith.
1:00:29
I'm with Tiko Enzo, follow us at draft offsides and stick around.
1:00:34
Everyone here just bullshit about our stupid leagues.
1:00:37
Keith, if you were top three, you want to talk about all this
1:00:40
bullshit because you're saying the six right there with me.
1:00:43
You're no, I don't want to waste the time of our the valuable
1:00:46
time of time of our listeners, you know, wait.
1:00:49
Till the very end. Yeah, you're right.
1:00:52
I think there's some good players on waivers, guys.
1:00:55
My issue is I'm too much of A coward to drop anyone.
1:00:58
I'm having a hard time pulling the trigger on some of these
1:00:59
guys here, but. I'm still holding up to Ben
1:01:01
White. OK, Yeah, you love Ben League.
1:01:04
You're a fool. OK, Tito, let's make a trade.
1:01:06
Who do you got? All right, hold up.
1:01:08
Let me. Mainly, mainly, mainly.
1:01:11
Is anyone off the table? Yeah, a lot of players I
1:01:15
honestly just want to give you. I want to give him goof.
1:01:17
I want to trade Doof to you. What?
1:01:19
Why would I want to trade for Doof?
1:01:21
Because he's the one. Cole, does any of you want do
1:01:23
does any of you want Cole Palmer?
1:01:26
Yeah. I will happily I'll.
1:01:28
I'll trade you kudus for Koh palming.
1:01:31
Kudus and something else. Kudus and something else.
1:01:35
Give him like 3-5. No, give him like 35.
1:01:37
Keith Kudus. And duf for Koh palming.
1:01:40
Mate send it, let me just fast run it.
1:01:45
OK, but it's it's going to go away tomorrow at some point.
1:01:47
I'm not doing a thing where it sits for a week.
1:01:49
And you're so bad at negotiating, mate.
1:01:52
Enzo, you're so bad at negotiating.
1:01:53
I like it, Kudus and DJ. That's fair.
1:01:56
Yeah, yeah, it's a fair. Enzo, what's more valuable to
1:01:59
Enzo, you idiot? What's more valuable to you,
1:02:01
Doof or you like 20 fab or 10:15 fab?
1:02:08
Like 15 fab. Yeah.
1:02:11
OK, how about this? I'll give you Kudus, Doof and
1:02:14
Five Fab. 676. OK, remember as when last year
1:02:23
you had so much fab, you were just like throwing it away.
1:02:27
What a difference a year makes. So you're trading Cole Palmer.
1:02:31
Let me see who I could give you for Cole Palmer.
1:02:33
Well, Enzo trade, trade sent. OK, then we have a look at.
1:02:38
I'll take wait, take care. Send, send, send yourself.
1:02:40
Send me an offer. Tico, I'm in.
1:02:43
I'm in imploding mode right now. Oh.
1:02:46
Wait, Enzo doesn't have Cole Palmer in the league that we're
1:02:48
talking about? Enzo, we're talking about, are
1:02:52
they? Huh.
1:02:53
We're. Talking about the main league we
1:02:54
said we were talking about. No, I'm talking about the Talk
1:02:56
Man League. I'll talk about the Talk Man
1:03:01
League. What he said 10 man league, he
1:03:04
said the main. League.
1:03:05
I didn't say the main. League.
1:03:06
Oh, I said. I didn't.
1:03:08
Hear you. God, I literally I like I like
1:03:09
kept up a fucking classic. That was a similar challenge of
1:03:12
negotiating. With.
1:03:13
Dizzy, I've been freaking out about that.
1:03:16
In our in our, in our league, that would have been a great.
1:03:21
Yeah, I think Tom Thomas. No, the worst person possible.
1:03:28
Oh, Kyle. Kyle.
1:03:31
Should I just send this to Kyle? Should I send this exact same to
1:03:33
Kyle and see if he accepts it? Yeah.
1:03:36
Is that a frustration? Recently I had I'll send you
1:03:39
such a bad fucking trade. I don't know if I told you guys
1:03:41
about that. Look at this guy's bench frame,
1:03:44
Punk. Garnacho, Palmer, Kunia.
1:03:47
Yeah, that's tough. Well, Palmer, if he had this
1:03:50
team last year, he would not lose the game.
1:03:53
Esock, Palmer, Cunha. It looks so good on paper, but
1:03:59
it's so shit right now. Man, you know what, I'm not
1:04:02
going to lie, I might pull up my team from last year in roster
1:04:05
bait, but when I lose Diaz? Oh, yeah.
1:04:10
So let me Tito, let me look at your team.
1:04:11
Well, that's that's really right here.
1:04:14
Stand in. Hey, careful, you might get a
1:04:16
boner. Chile, man, Did you get him off?
1:04:20
Did you? Have you held on to him all
1:04:22
season? Did you pick him up off waivers?
1:04:23
Like 2 weeks ago honestly, I said I saw it on the other
1:04:26
league, someone picked him up so I went and picked up picked him
1:04:28
up on this league. The lap with Wendy you can get
1:04:32
rid of, yeah, you're a little tough though.
1:04:34
Like if a couple guys don't play, you're in a tough spot.
1:04:37
Yeah, I have a rotation like Savio could be on the chopping
1:04:40
block, the lap. Obviously Lisa, like I've held
1:04:43
on to him for so long. I didn't if I'm if I'm in
1:04:48
contention for it in the last like month and a half and we
1:04:51
still is back. I think that could be like a
1:04:52
deciding factor for me.
