  Speaker 1: Guys, it's finally back.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: It feels like it's been forever without the Premier League.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: Of course, George is the happiest because we know that
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: football means gigs, means money for the Laurent family because
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: he's not been in enough places across the international break,
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: of course. But yes, that does also mean that the
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Premier League and fantasy Premier League is very much back.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: It means my wild card is getting very real. If
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: yours is active, I know lots of them are. I'm
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: sure you're getting as panicked as I am. And maybe
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: these guys... their transfers, they're finally going to have to
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: sort them out. Sam, are you feeling excited, nervous? How
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: are you feeling about it coming back?
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: There's a lot of flags in my team. There's just
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: a lot of yellow flagged players, which is okay at
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: the moment. I'm hoping that the press conferences might clear
• 0:44
  Speaker 3: up a couple of them and some of them might
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: be fit to go and that would help me out massively.
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: But yeah, I'm still kind of holding my transfers, waiting
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: for actual Premier League managers to probably not tell me
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: the information.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: I was going to say, come on, you've played this
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: game a long time.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but hopefully we might get some training ground pitches or,
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: you know, there's always, always things that happen and then
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: change the way you think. And I also just wanted
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: to make sure that we got through, because unlike you, Kels,
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: where your wildcard's active, you can make 800,000 changes if
• 1:14
  Speaker 3: you want to across the international break. Obviously, I was
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: really conscious of not wanting to change somebody that Might
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: then go and play in the international break, might pick
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: up an injury, might cause me further headaches down the line.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: So patience has been key over the international break. And
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: I'm actually really looking forward to hitting some transfers because
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: it feels like it's been a while. I've got three
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: sat in the bank. I've not made one for a bit.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: So it'd be nice to actually make a transfer.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: You won't have made any yet, but are your plans
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: any more firm?
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: Of course, I've done them already, Kels. Have you? Yeah,
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: it's all about talent, vision and planning. Yeah, I made two.
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: Tzolakis in goal, I was very impressed with him. As
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: you know, in the international break, I still think that
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: Hull City will build their season on defensive strength, really.
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: And I think he's going to have a lot of
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: saves to make and things like that. That's the first one.
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: And then Josh King, the second one for Elim Elendiai.
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: So Tzolakis in for Lamens. who I've lost faith in
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: a long time ago and in United overall, to be fair.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: And then Josh King for Illiman and Jai. That saves
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: me a bit of money. I've got 0.5 in the
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: bank now, for example. And Josh King and Fulham play
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: the three-promoted side back-to-back now. We've said that before. It's
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: really good for them. And then after that, even if
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: he doesn't hit the highs that I would love him
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: to hit, although he's been on really good form this season,
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: then I can always bench him. He could be my
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: fifth midfielder on the bench. So yeah, Solakis and King
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: for me.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Okay, thanks for listening. I've done this pod backwards. We
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: normally do transfers at the MLC next week.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: No, good to... I think a lot of people are
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: just desperate to make a transfer. So it's good to
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: hear and stay listening because we, of course, don't quite
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: know what Sam's plans are just yet. Now, one other
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: thing to say is I know that some people have
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: opened up their teams. Maybe you haven't been obsessing as
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: much as we have over your fantasy teams. And you
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: might have opened up the app or the website and gone,
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: oh my gosh, it is flags FC. There is flags
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: absolutely everywhere.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Well, there's good news.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: You can actually take part in the Second Chance League.
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: We've had this before and it's great. Even if you've
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: not had a great start, whatever, it just gives you
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: an opportunity to compete on kind of a different level
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: to ensure there's still plenty to see, to kind of
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: go for this season. Now, all managers are automatically entered
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: into it. Scores start from game week six, which is,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: of course, this weekend. There's some really good prizes to be.
• 3:29
  Speaker 4: Won as well.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: So just put everything in the past. It's a fresh
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: slate and you could still win a big prize and
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: have a brilliant season. So, yeah, kind of keep an
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: eye on that. You'll see it, won't you, Sam, on
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: the website and app. You're automatically into it. So it'll
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: just kind of become one of your leagues.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: Is that right?
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: That's right. Yeah.
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: So it doesn't matter if your first five weeks haven't
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: gone as well as you would hope. You've got an
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: opportunity now to have a good, I was going to
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: say second half of the season, because that's normally when
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: the second chance league starts, but actually a good post-international break.
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: part of the season I think that shows how long
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: the international break has been the fact that the Premier
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: League decided they need to do that this time and
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: of course there's still time to join our pod mini
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: league the code is Q0HV1Q you do need to actually
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: enter that you don't get into that automatically just because
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: you listen to this do make sure you join us
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: in there okay then there's been a lot of other
• 4:17
  Speaker 3: football played during this break of course while there's been
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: no Premier League so it's probably important that we talk
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: through a few of the headlines and it feels like
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: in the last week a lot more flags have appeared
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: And perhaps we're having a lot more panics.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Let's start with some good news. Arsenal, Jules, Martin Odegaard
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: was back. You told us he would be. Bukayo Saka
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: played really well for England. I was going to say
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: good news. That's about probably where it stops for Arsenal because,
• 4:44
  Speaker 2: of course, then we had what looks like an injury
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: for Esri Konza.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, Konza missed out on the last England
• 4:52
  Speaker 4: game and went back to London. I don't think there
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: was too much worry in why he was coming back.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: I think he was probably more of a niggle than
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: anything else. And he'd played, obviously, quite a lot with
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: England before that last game. So I don't think there's
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: too much worry for Mikel Arteta there. The big ones, obviously,
• 5:10
  Speaker 4: are Havertz and Torres. We talked about them in the
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: last few shows, who picked up the injuries and look like,
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: even if they're not too serious, I think they're just
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: muscular injuries, probably two to three weeks for both of them.
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: But that probably means they will miss... the game against
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: Leeds on Saturday, this weekend. But they've got Mikel Marino,
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: who scored with Spain again and had three goals and
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: one assist in the four games that he played with
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: Spain in his international break that I expect him to
• 5:34
  Speaker 4: play as the number nine ahead of Giocares even against Leeds.
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: Calafiori played really well and scored even with Italy too.
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: And Max Lewis-Kelly that you saw with England too, I
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: thought he did really well when he played. So there
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: were some, obviously, negatives with the injuries, but some positives
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: in terms of some of the form of those Arsenal players.
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, sorry, I actually completely forgot about Mikel Moreno scoring.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: That's actually quite big in terms of FPL because, as
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: you said, Jules could be playing up front for Arsenal.
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: That's what we're expecting as well. Elsewhere, Morgan Rodgers came
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: on for 20 minutes and scored. Then he started and
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: got an assist in the final game. I didn't think
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: he did too much for England, but maybe that's because
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: I'm comparing him to England's kind of first choice starting XI,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: but probably had enough minutes to tick over. Sam I
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: guess with Chelsea it feels like all of the eyes
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: are going to be on whether Cole Palmer though and
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Joao Pedro are going.
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: To be fit really oh for sure and I think
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: it's a difficult one with Chelsea isn't it because like
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: obviously I watched Morgan Rogers I was like right okay
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: good that's one less issue he's played he's fine he's
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: got through those matches and we've got some attacking returns
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: out of him that's great but as we saw in
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: the game against Brentford just before the international break they
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: didn't look the same without Joao Pedro so I am
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: kind of all eyes on on what Alonso probably won't
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: say in his press conference about Parma and Dal Pedro.
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: But nice to see Rodgers continuing with his attacking returns
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: over the international break.
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: Elsewhere, McGinn scored from the penalty spot for Scotland in Doi,
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: scored actually in the weekend game and then the game
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: in midweek as well for Switzerland. Adjo scored for Norway,
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: which of course was assisted by Odegaard. We've already heard
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: that Jules was very impressed with Salakis. He got a
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: clean sheet against Germany, not bad. Chow got a clean.
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: Sheet against Greece.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: Tel got a hat-trick for France under-21s. Which of those
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: catches your eye, Sam, or is there anything I've missed?
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: No, I think that's the majority of the Premier League guys.
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: I mean, I hope Tel Gamsun scores another hat-trick because
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: we could really do with some goals at Spurs, but
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: I don't think you're going there regardless because it's really
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: difficult to know who's going to get the start there.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: I guess for me, the Arsenal question comes back around,
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: doesn't it? Because I was very impressed by Saka, but
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: Odegaard impressed as well in that final game. So, I'm
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: still a bit torn on how you invest in Arsenal,
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: particularly as a Solis owner who, I mean, I've had
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: enough patience with that man. He's going to disappear from
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: my team after, or this week, he'll be one of
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: my transfers out. The question is, where do you go
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: from there? Because my original plan was to hold Bruno
• 8:00
  Speaker 3: Fernandes for the game against Spurs and then probably move
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: him to Saka. But I had a card at the
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: price point that he is, has continued to impress. So
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: a tough decision between those two.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I had a really bad Arsenal conundrum earlier in
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: the week because, as you know, I had the treble up.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: with Rea, Konza and Calafiori. And then I knew Saka
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: was going to go up and I've decided that I
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: want to go with Saka. And I was at Sunday night,
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: he said he was likely to change. A reminder again,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: if you haven't used this facility on the Premier League website,
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: it's brilliant. You can go along the tabs and click
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: price changes and it will tell you who's likely to
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: change overnight. And generally, if it says likely to change,
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: they're probably not going to change, but I'm like checking
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: at half 11 at night when it's going to change
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: at midnight. If it's very likely to change, move that
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: player on or.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Bring them in because they're going to change pretty much.
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: And Sunday night, I was like, he's likely to change.
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: I've got another day to make my Arsenal decision. I
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: was at a football dinner on Monday night and at
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: course to midnight, I was like, A, I wanted to
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: go home. I'm a pregnant woman that needed to get home. B,
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: I was like, the price changes. And I realised that
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: Saka had become very likely to change at course to midnight.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: So there I am at 10 to midnight interrupting a
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: conversation with someone to make a transfer and I had to.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: Make my Arsenal decision.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: Because I couldn't bring him in and so I got
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: rid of one of the three in defence and I
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: hadn't decided what to do.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: So, yeah. What did you do?
• 9:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, who did you sell?
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: I got rid of Konza. Because of.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: I'm still not 100% sure. Just the injury thing. I
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: just thought, you know what, I don't think he'll play
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: this weekend. Even though I actually think that their fixture
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: this weekend doesn't guarantee a clean sheet, to be honest,
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: anywhere against Leeds. I think with... I think out of the... Like,
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: Calafiori's just playing so well at the moment. He's had
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: a good international break again. Rea, I think, soon could
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: be potentially the best up, the most reliable option in
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: that Arsenal defence. I didn't want to spend that big
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: on a goalkeeper, but then it does enable me to
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: downgrade my second choice one. And Konza is brilliant value.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: And for the next few weeks, if he does play,
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: which as Jules said then, potentially he could miss this
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: weekend and then be back and play the next three
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: or four weeks, but then he becomes a problem further
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: down the line. So I just thought, I'll do what
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: feels like a mature thing here and set my team
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: up longer term on a wild card. And I'll sell Konza,
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: even though it felt horrible sending a 4.6 million defender.
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: I am, however, hoping that loads of other people sell him.
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: If you listen to this, sell him. So then his
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: price goes back down to 4.5. So if I want
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: to bring him back and we get good injury news,
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: I can bring him back. So yeah, that's what I've
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: done at the moment.
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: So the only thing I would say, Kels, the only
• 10:23
  Speaker 4: thing I would say... No, no, no, no, no. The
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: only thing I would say on Calafiori, because I own Calafiori.
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: And he did really well, obviously, with Italy during the
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: international break, while Hincapié, by the way, didn't travel with Ecuador,
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: stayed and is fit and ready to go. With no
• 10:37
  Speaker 4: Solis now on the left-hand side for Arsenal because of
• 10:40
  Speaker 4: the injury, Arteta would have to choose who plays there then,
• 10:43
  Speaker 4: whether that's Madueke, you know, Max Darman's. Eze, and I
• 10:48
  Speaker 4: think it could be Eze. And if it's Eze, I'm
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: not sure. I think if Eze starts on the left-hand
• 10:52
  Speaker 4: side for Arsenal and would naturally drift inside quite a lot,
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: then I think Hinkapier is probably the best suited left-back
• 11:01
  Speaker 4: for a combo with Eze on the left-hand side, more
• 11:04
  Speaker 4: than Calafiori, who, when Solis is there, Solis is basically
• 11:07
  Speaker 4: hugging the touchline and Calafiori comes inside a lot and
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: has that freedom that we mentioned so many times that
• 11:13
  Speaker 4: is great for us because he's everywhere and does everything
• 11:15
  Speaker 4: and He's a wonderful player. Incapierre is a different style
• 11:18
  Speaker 4: of left-back that probably is better suited to play with
• 11:22
  Speaker 4: Eze if they play together. So even me as a
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: Calafiori owner, I'm a bit worried. I'm like, after playing
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: in the international break when Incapierre was not involved at
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: all and had some time of holidays and normal training,
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: I fear a little bit that Incapierre and Eze start
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: on the left-hand side and Calafiori is on the bench.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: So you're telling me there's a world where Konza could
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: be injured, Calafiori could not start.
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: Or Konza starts, but you don't have him anymore, and
• 11:45
  Speaker 4: Calafiori doesn't.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: This is why I decided I wanted to have Raya.
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: Yeah, with Raya, at least you're sure.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's kind of what I decided in the end.
• 11:55
  Speaker 4: But Calafiori might well start again, but I think that's
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: the idea.
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the insight you provide, Jules. Every time I
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: make a decision on this podcast, I'm quite pleased with it.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Jules comes in with.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: A great idea, Kel, but.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: No, I think I'm still happy enough with that, because.
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: Am I?
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: Who knows?
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Who knows? That's what I've done for now.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: If in the end we get good news over Konza,
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: then there is a real potential that like, yes, I
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: sold him.
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: I don't think I lose any money on him.
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: Or do I? No, I do.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: Oh, there's no point me doing maths on this pod
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: as we know it will take the rest of the episode.
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: But I bought him at 4.5 and I sold him
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: at 4.5, I think.
• 12:37
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: If I have to lose 0.1 on him, fine. But
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: I made that decision when I did. At least I
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: got the 0.1 price rise on Saka, which was important
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: to me.
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: Because I decided I wanted him.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: Anyway, is there any other injury things or anything else
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: that you want to mention before we move on and
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: discuss a little bit more in depth as to how
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: those transfers have affected the rest of my wildcard?
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: I think Harlan's an interesting one. Asked to be subbed.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: We're not too worried about him, are we? Are we?
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: No.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: No.
• 13:03
  Speaker 4: No, no, we shouldn't be. Okay.
• 13:06
  Speaker 1: Alex Scott maybe is interesting. Oh, Alex Scott.
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Scott is the bad one. Yeah, Scott is the
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: bad one.
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: Scott was bad as well because I was actually kind
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: of coming around to having him in my wildcard because
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: I thought he looked quite fun.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's not great for Bournemouth, is it? And not great.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: He was brilliant for England as well when he did play. Okay,
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: I'll just talk you through my wildcard now then. I
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: find this, I'm quite looking forward to the deadline passing
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: because I've always been talking about my wildcard for a
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: long time, guys. I don't really like this pod being
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: too much about my team because, you know, I'm never
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: that set. I have made a few changes this week.
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: As I said, I've kept Rea in goal. I've still
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: got Salakis as my backup, just because I haven't needed
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: the money elsewhere. Because as you said, Sam, last week,
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: we're kind of having to get comfortable with having money
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: in the bank. I will downgrade him, I think, because
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: I'm probably just not going to play him enough and
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: I can get an even cheaper keeper.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: But have you got a bench boost? Yes.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: So I can keep... If I need to get rid
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: of him, then I will. But at the moment, I
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: don't need to. And I'd already caught a price rise.
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: Are you considering playing your bench boost Back to back
• 14:07
  Speaker 4: after your wildcard. So again, week seven is your bench boost.
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: It's now become a more, a better option.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: It's now become a better option because then I can
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: shed the bench after and get some more money.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: But at the moment, it doesn't feel like I need
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: a great deal of money, really. Well, I'll talk you through.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: It depends what I do.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: I've got a couple of scenarios still of what I
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: can do. So I've got Rea, Calafiori, as I said.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: I've still got Lewis Hall. I thought he was good
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: again for England the other night. I need to do
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: a little bit more in-depth look into Newcastle's data because
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: I'm not totally sure And as it stands, I've sold
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: Harvey Barnes, but he's one of my maybes to come
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: back in. And I won't have the Newcastle double up.
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: I'll just have one of them. So it kind of depends.
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: So yeah, Calafiore Hall. Samuel, I've got to leave Davis
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: because I needed a cheap defender in there. I just
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: thought after our conversation last week, there's a lot of value.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: If you break him, I'll be very sad.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Oh, I will. That's what I do.
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: At home against Fulham, I would even play him probably
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: this weekend.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he's in my starting, at the moment, they're my
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: three starting defenders. And my ones on the bench are
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: De Kooiper, still got him.
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: And Silva from Bournemouth. I like the Silva pick. So
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: do I.
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: And he feels a little bit more expensive at five million,
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: but I didn't, I had Tarkovsky in there for the
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: price rise and I was like, I'm not keeping him.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: So I can kind of like downgrade, so to speak,
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: Silva and it doesn't really feel like a downgrade.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: It's going to get you four every week at least
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: with the DEFCON stuff.
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: The defence is almost there, I'd say.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: There's a bit of a conversation to be had around
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: Lewis Hall. And yeah, I'm still not totally set on
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: not having Konza and especially given what Jules said, but
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: I'm nearly there with that defence. Then midfield, Gross, Rodgers,
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: they're still there. Sharder is still there, but won't be.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: I've decided that everything we said about him, I don't
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: know if it's sustainable. I feel like maybe I've missed
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: a boat there a little bit. I like the idea
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: of having him, but the midfield spots are so precious.
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: I don't, so yeah, he's a maybe. He's either going
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: to go back to being Harvey Barnes or he's going
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: to become Morgan Gibbs White. Then I've got Bakayo Saka,
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: as I said, and I have gone for Josh King.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: because at one point I had a Fulham forward in
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: and I thought actually no why would Josh King is
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: just a better pick and at 5.5 million again his
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: price was going to go up so I thought I
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: don't have all week to make this decision so I
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: just brought him in and I really like the look
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: of the team with him in there and I look
• 16:19
  Speaker 2: at the Fulham's fixtures the next three at Ipswich away
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: Hull at home Coventry away I'm really happy with that
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: so he will stay the only decision then to make
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: in my midfield is what who Sharda becomes then up
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: front I've still I haven't changed these at the But
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: I think Barry will go back to being Calvert-Lewin, actually,
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: because I can afford that. And I think that's what
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: I want to do. Like I said, I did have
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: the Fulham double up, but it felt a bit much.
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: And the forwards are still causing me a headache because,
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: of course, is Pedro fit?
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: Who knows? But he's still in there at the moment.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: That's where I'm at. Go on, Jules, tell me all
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: the things I've done wrong. No, no, go on, let
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: Jules go first.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: No, I like it a lot. I like a lot
• 17:02
  Speaker 4: of your picks. I'm interested in the Calvert-Lewin slash Barry
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: slash maybe somebody else.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Who's the somebody else that I've really struggled with? I'm
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: not inspired by that.
• 17:11
  Speaker 4: A lot of people have sold Calvert-Lewin for Costulas, for example,
• 17:14
  Speaker 4: at Brighton, who is in great form. He was in
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: great form before the international break. I think Costulas is
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: 10 points twice in his last two Premier League games.
• 17:26
  Speaker 4: He's got two goals, three assists so far in five
• 17:28
  Speaker 4: Premier League matches. He's starting and even with Ruter coming
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: back or even when Mitoma is fully fit and comes back,
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: you still expect him to start ahead of Ruter, Evan
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: Ferguson and whoever else you want up front, you know,
• 17:43
  Speaker 4: Promise David and whoever, all the number nines they have.
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: And I think he's got that confidence. I think he's
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: a really confident guy in the first place, full of energy.
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: The only thing I would say about Brighton, again, we
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: said that before, is they will have Europe, obviously, on
• 17:58
  Speaker 4: Thursday night, starting.
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: This week coming up.
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: I don't really want the treble up.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: That's my problem.
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: I don't really want to play with them. And as well,
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: they are very popular players. But if you don't play
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: the Kuiper, if the Kuiper is on your bench and
• 18:09
  Speaker 4: you've got Gross and Costulas in your team, I think
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: that could be fine as well. It's just finding that
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: third forward spot.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm not inspired by it, as I said.
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: It's kind of, One of those that will come down
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: to who I kind of fancy on the cusp of
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: the deadline, I think.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: Sam?
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: I think it very much depends on what you're doing
• 18:29
  Speaker 3: with your bench boost. Because if you're going to play
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: it in seven, then having Costa Dulas makes actually quite
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: a lot of sense. It's a good fixture at home
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: to Crystal Palace. It feels like that's a good opportunity.
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: But then having Leif Davis, if you're bench boosting in seven,
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: doesn't really make a lot of sense because he's got
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: Manchester City.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: In that week.
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: So I think it's, it's a weird one, isn't it?
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: With the wild card this week, because you almost have
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: to decide what you're doing with your other chip as
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: part of the wild card, unless you, unless your decision
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: is I'm not going to bench boost for six, seven, eight,
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: nine weeks, like after the next international break, and I'm
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: going to hold it much further down the line. And
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: if that's the case, you can do whatever you like
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: with your wild card. But if you think that it
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: might be that you want to, to bench boost in seven,
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: then I absolutely wouldn't be opposed to Tribbling up on
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: Brighton for that week against Crystal Palace, because then after that,
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: as you said, you don't have to play them every week.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: You can move them to the bench and rotate around
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: how you play them. Because the reality is that for
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: Josh King, who's your fifth midfielder, for the next three weeks,
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: you're going to want to start him, which means that
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: you're not going to start your third forward for the
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: next three weeks.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: I think that's maybe, I look at my midfield and
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: I want to start that every week, which is maybe
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: why I'm not as bothered by that third forward spot,
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: if you know what I mean.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: But then is there any point in having Dominic Calvert-Lewin
• 19:48
  Speaker 3: price points if you're not going to play?
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: Him for three weeks but.
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: Then I haven't I'm not stretched for cash anywhere else
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: at the moment like my bank is is okay and
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: that because at one point this week I was like
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: maybe I'll go from Rodgers to Palmer but I don't
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: want to I'm really happy I'm fine with Rodgers at
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: the moment I just particularly with the doubts over Palmer
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: I'm With my history with Palmer, that could go very wrong.
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: But yeah, you raise a valid point. And then I've
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: got Barry at the moment. And I just realised that
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: Calvert-Lewin's 0.4 more than Barry. And I was just like,
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: I feel like that for me is a reasonable... Well,
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: I'll watch.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: Barry outscore him now. But just for me, it just
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: felt like it's worth it.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: Could be wrong.
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: Because I think Gibbs White's another interesting one. Because I
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: quite like him as a pick. But then in seven,
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: he's got Arsenal. And in ten, he's got City. So
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: there's a couple of weeks there where.
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: Fixtures aren't great and even Brentford actually it's you know
• 20:40
  Speaker 3: still still a nice fixture on the ticket but Brentford
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: have started the season really well so I actually don't
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: particularly love the run of fixtures that Nottingham Forest have
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: coming out of the break he's great for Crystal Palace
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: this week I think for game week six he makes
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: a lot of sense but beyond six I think there
• 20:58
  Speaker 3: are better options in midfield so And then again, it
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: throws a bench boost in seven out because you can't
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: really bench boost Gibbs White against that Arsenal defence if you've.
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: Got two of them.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no.
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: He's only returned twice in five games, by the way.
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: I think, you know, he finished very strongly last season.
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: He's a great player. I think playing with England and
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: being part of the international break probably boost was a
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: massive boost for him. And all of that. But he
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: hasn't actually done that great. And like Sam said, the fixtures,
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: you know, City, Arsenal and Brentford away in the next five. Okay,
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: you've got the Palace and I think it's... It's Ipswich. Yeah.
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: So those games, sure. And, you know, you might even
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: fancy captaining him this game week against Palace, for example.
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: But then, yeah, I'm really interested in him because I
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: think he's tempting. But there's a few, like, mini red flags,
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: but they're still red.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: That's why I've kind of kept Sharder in there because
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I don't really know where I.
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: Want to spend this.
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: What about Tavernier? Yeah, Tavernier?
• 21:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, he's another option, I suppose, as well. I
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: kind of, I think I'd set my heart a bit
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: on Alex Scott. And then when that happened, I was like, oh, that's,
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: but no, Tavernier's probably actually a better option than Alex
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: Scott if both are fit anyway, to be honest.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: I don't know why. He's probably the English thing again.
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: I don't know why. I just, yeah. So Sharder will
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: become someone else. That's my only midfield.
• 22:18
  Speaker 4: You don't want to give him a chance, for sure, Sharder.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: I mean, the fixture this weekend's all right. But it
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: just feels like it's a bit of a waste of
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: an opportunity now.
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: That's just the way I've started to look at it.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: When I was like, I got quite excited by some
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: of the other options in terms of fixtures and potential
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: upside and trying to get ahead of the curve because
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: I need to because I've had not a great start.
• 22:41
  Speaker 4: Harvey Barnes against Coventry. Yeah. Do you like him a lot?
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: I only got rid of him out of my team.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: When did I get rid of him out of my team?
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: Like the last couple of days. And I was like, bye,
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: but we're probably going to say hi again. So it wasn't,
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: it wasn't too emotional. So yeah, that's, that's where I'm
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: at with it. There's probably, in terms of locks, majority
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: is probably three or four.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: I think probably Lewis Hall is one, Sharder is another
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: in the third forward. I'm potentially the second goalkeeper, my
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: backup goalkeeper. So I can just see that if I keep.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: You know the thing with Barnes. Go on.
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: The thing with Barnes is they, okay, bar the Leeds game,
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: they had a shocker away and just didn't respond at
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: all or anything. But apart from that, they've scored at
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: least two goals in every Premier League game. They are
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: a very attacking team. And for Barnes, even Wissam, whoever
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: plays on their right wing, on their right-hand side, it
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: won't be Alanga because he's injured, but whoever is there instead,
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: I think there's points there. He would be a bit crazy.
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: And for Lewis Hall, in terms of not conceding a goal,
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: it's a bit different, but he might get attacking returns.
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: So I think if you fancy a Newcastle player player
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: that can bring you points attacking wise like Barnes like
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: Hall like Wissar you know those kind of guys Fernandez
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: Pardo at some point I think might become a good
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: shout too once he just get a bit more game
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: time and everything like that even Murphy I think they're
• 24:06
  Speaker 4: good shout because again I think they will they will
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: score goals Coventry Villa Palace the next three games that's
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: easily games where Newcastle will score might not win but
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: will score and will you will go for it that's
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: what they do.
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: Okay well we'll move on then um i probably will
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: post my wild card once the deadline's passed if i'm
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: happy with it but i probably won't be happy with
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: it so you will be happy with it come on
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: i'm nearly you've had three weeks you must be happy
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: with it that's almost worse you almost have too long
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: to kind of deliberate over it i'm looking forward to
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: not having to obsess quite as much over price changes
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: because And sometimes you just have to let, when you're
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: not on a wildcard, you just have to let a
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: price change go because maybe the player's got to play in,
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: I don't know, he's playing in Europe that week and
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: you don't want to make a decision that early. Whereas
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: at the moment, if you miss a price rise or
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: a price fall when you're on a wildcard, I don't
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: want to say you're an idiot, but it's a bit
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: of a foolish move, isn't it?
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: No, you are.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: It's been quite stressful, yeah.
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: There's been nothing worse a couple of times this week
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: where I've like woken up like half past midnight and
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: been like, this makes me sound like a loser. I've
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: missed the price rise thing. And then I look and
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: no one's gone up and it's like, okay, go back
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: to sleep.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: The small world can't do to you guys.
• 25:18
  Speaker 2: They absolutely make you lose your mind. So yeah, probably
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: looking forward to getting a bit of sanity back this weekend.
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: In terms of what you guys at home have been doing,
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: it's always a bit crazy over international breaks. But it's
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: been a bit of a weird one because because it's
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: been such a long break, I think, that it's been
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: a bit slower and now it does ramp up coming
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: into this second week. And we've got the information we
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: need and it'll go even crazier, I'm sure, once we've
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: heard from the Premier League managers towards the end of
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: this week.
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: As it stands, over the.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: Last 24 hours or so, it's kind of a similar
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: trend in terms of gross is still up there with
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: having loads of transfers in. Saka's also getting a lot
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: more interest as well because he was so impressive for England,
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: particularly in that game away in Croatia. And then he
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: didn't start in midweek, which I also thought was really
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: good news. for someone that's bringing in a Saka and
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: he had that little bit of rest because we know
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: he does just seem to want to play every single
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: game for Arsenal. In terms of where we're going, we've
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: already touched upon it with Arsenal. What are we leaning towards, Sam?
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: Because it sounds like you're leaning towards going with an
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: attacker plus two defenders.
• 26:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so at the minute I've got my treble up
• 26:22
  Speaker 3: of Arsenal still in my team because I've got Calafuri
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: and Konza and then I've also still got Solis.
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: So I need to... deal with him.
• 26:30
  Speaker 3: But it's a bit of a frustrating one for me
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: because I quite like the Bruno Fernandes, because he's going
• 26:36
  Speaker 3: to be a bit of a differential with how many
• 26:38
  Speaker 3: people have sold him recently for this game against Spurs,
• 26:41
  Speaker 3: especially as Spurs have got some injuries in defence that
• 26:44
  Speaker 3: we need to see if Deserby gives us any indication
• 26:46
  Speaker 3: about how fit and available they are. So I quite
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: fancy holding Bruno for just one more week, but then
• 26:53
  Speaker 3: that rules out Saka because I need the money out
• 26:55
  Speaker 3: of Bruno in order to make Saka a viable option
• 26:58
  Speaker 3: to invest in. I could just go from Solis to Odegaard,
• 27:04
  Speaker 3: but then I'm not sure that I want to do
• 27:06
  Speaker 3: that because I do think that Saka is the best
• 27:08
  Speaker 3: pick long term. So I'm probably just going to go
• 27:11
  Speaker 3: down to just the two Arsenal defenders for this week
• 27:14
  Speaker 3: and then next week bring in an Arsenal attacker, namely Saka,
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: unless I decide I want to sell Bruno this week,
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: but I don't think I do.
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: Jules, where are you leaning with your Arsenal three?
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I still have, I will keep Kansa, I think,
• 27:28
  Speaker 4: because he'd be fine for this weekend, I think. Calafiore,
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: I mentioned, I'm a little bit fearful of Henkapje and
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: whoever plays on that left wing for them, attacking-wise. And
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: then Odegaard, who was, I thought, excellent with Norway in
• 27:46
  Speaker 4: the international break, in the games that he played and
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: what he did with the board, just continuing on the
• 27:51
  Speaker 4: form that we saw with Arsenal so far this season. So,
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: Arsenal have obviously a Champions League game coming up in midweek.
• 27:57
  Speaker 4: We're on back-to-back Champions League weeks, by the way. So
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: for all those guys, they're playing this weekend and Tuesday, Wednesday,
• 28:03
  Speaker 4: next weekend and Tuesday, Wednesday again the following week. So
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: all United players, Liverpool players, City, Arsenal, all of that.
• 28:10
  Speaker 4: So it's something to keep in mind because we might
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: see a bit of rotation, especially for the ones who
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: played four or three or four of their national team
• 28:18
  Speaker 4: international games in this break. So that will start to
• 28:21
  Speaker 4: be a lot. But I think I quite like the
• 28:25
  Speaker 4: treble up of Konza, Odegaard and Calafiori, to be fair.
• 28:30
  Speaker 4: But if you had Raya, Calafiori and one of the
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: midfielders too, like a Saka or again Odegaard or somebody
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: like that, I think it's fine. And if you really
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: want to play the differential card here, go for Mikel
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: Marino because I'm pretty sure he will start as the
• 28:46
  Speaker 4: number nine for Arsenal against Leeds. And to be fair...
• 28:51
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't be surprised if Havertz was not back for
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: the Forest away game the following Sunday. And after that,
• 28:57
  Speaker 4: it's Everton at home. And again, Havertz might be back
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: for that, or there might be a bit of a
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: Gokere somewhere. But I think Marino will start against Leeds
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: on Saturday.
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's interesting, actually, Nick, because a lot of managers
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: listening to this will be on like a blank slate
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: like me with Arsenal. So for you guys, you're kind
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: of locked in a little bit more in terms of
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: having to use transfers. But if you did have a
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: clean slate, Sam, who would your three be? Or maybe
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: you'd go two, but it feels like you'd probably go three.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: I think I probably still would go three.
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: Saka, definitely. I think actually in a complete reversal of
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: where I was this time last week, because of the
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: news coming out of the Arsenal defence, I think I
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: probably would go for Rea in goal. I just think that,
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: like you said before, Kelsey just feels like the obvious
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: pick now because he feels safe at a time when
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: other players have either got injury doubts or you've got
• 29:42
  Speaker 3: other players that might rotate with them and you've got
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: the Champions League kicking back in proper. I think I
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: would still pick Califuri. I just think the attacking upside
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: is something that I wouldn't want to go without, particularly
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: given ownership as well. That feels important. So they would
• 29:57
  Speaker 3: probably be the three that I would have.
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: Jules? Yeah, if you can afford, Saka, obviously, go for it.
• 30:06
  Speaker 4: I think he should with England, even if there was, again,
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: a bit of a debate and some people not being
• 30:11
  Speaker 4: too convinced. I think they are now.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: I think it became very obvious in this international break
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: that England's, and I think it became more obvious when
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: he wasn't on the pitch and Anthony Gordon wasn't on
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: the pitch on Tuesday, the attacking, I mean, they scored seven.
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, say what you like about Croatia, they were
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: brilliant on Saturday night, and even you'll admit that. But
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: I think that front three, four, whatever you want to
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: call it, in terms of Kane, Saka, Gordon with Bellingham
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: in behind is now set.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: Like the players that.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: Came in on Tuesday did well, but I think just
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: Saka and Gordon take us to the next level.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: So yeah, that actually enhanced me.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: Saka, if you.
• 30:48
  Speaker 4: Can't afford him. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And really, Kez, you
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: should definitely have him in your team, I think.
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: Yes, okay. It's just the defence, isn't it? But... I'm
• 30:58
  Speaker 1: happy with two of the three.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: I think I'm going with the right three in terms
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: of the information that we have now, but I don't
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: feel as confident as I did 35 minutes ago when
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: we started this podcast, that's for sure. Pascal Gross, should
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: people be moving Heaven and Earth to bring him in?
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: Is he as good a pick as the transfer market suggests, Jules?
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I think so. It's 30% already. It's crazy. What
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: a crazy start this season for him.
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: Do either of you have him, do you? Jules does.
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: He keeps cutting him off his bench, which is really annoying.
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: No, no, no, no. This is all part of the strategy.
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: It's all part of the strategy. Absolutely. He's my guy,
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: Pascal Gross.
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: It's all part of the strategy to play the wrong
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: starting XI.
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: No, it's just like I knew Joe Pedro probably would
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: not play.
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: Remember, it's talent and planning and vision.
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: Exactly. You know, exactly. Pascal Gross, never in doubt, really.
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: I don't know at 35... almost my age. That is
• 31:49
  Speaker 4: my age.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: Let's not pretend it's yours.
• 31:51
  Speaker 4: If he can sustain it or not at this kind
• 31:53
  Speaker 4: of level because I've said it before, I will say
• 31:55
  Speaker 4: it again, he's the best Premier League player right now
• 31:58
  Speaker 4: so far this season and he's been that good. But
• 32:02
  Speaker 4: Brighton have that momentum. It won't always be perfect like
• 32:04
  Speaker 4: it was against Arsenal, for sure. They might struggle a
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: bit more against smaller teams because that's what they do
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: every single season and that's why they finish eighth and
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: not first. But he's at the heart of everything and
• 32:15
  Speaker 4: he's just scored... 17 points and 14 points in his
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: last two Premier League matches. So incredible form. So yeah,
• 32:22
  Speaker 4: of course, go for him.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: Do you know what?
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: I watched back some of our show on YouTube the
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: other week and I realised I've got to stop making
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: these ridiculous faces at Jules because we pretty.
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: Much always envision.
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: Everybody's noticed, don't worry.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm always making faces at him as if
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: to say, where has this guy come from?
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: And yeah, it's not a great look. Sam, agree on Gross?
• 32:40
  Speaker 4: Oh, Gross has been.
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: the biggest frustration for me because I love him. And
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: if you remember last season, he single-handedly tried to save
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: my season at the back end of last year and
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: going into the new season, I was like, right, I'll
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: definitely have gross. And then I got kind of, I
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: had my head turned by Sangari and his potential for
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: death con. Same as me. That feels nice. That feels fun.
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: Maybe I should go there instead. No, it's been a disaster,
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: an utter disaster. And to have Sangari come off the
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: bench for a zero pointer when gross was coming off
• 33:10
  Speaker 3: Jules's is, honestly was.
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: The most frustrating. No, it wasn't.
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: It was absolutely horrendous. So here's my, so my view
• 33:18
  Speaker 3: on gross is that I love him. I think he's great.
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: I do think he's been slightly fortunate. Some of the assists,
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: I know I'm going to sound like Jules now. Some
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: of the assists have been sideways pass for a wonderful goal. Um,
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: but that's fine. We know that happens in FPL is,
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: are we going to see that regularly over the course
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: of the season? Well, maybe not, but right now they're
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: in a, in a good moment and they're on, you know,
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: he's in a great moment as well. I don't really
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: want him though, because I look at the Taverniers and
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: I look at the Josh Kings and I think, oh,
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: there's so much potential for differentials in the next few weeks,
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: like really good returns from them. And maybe if I
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: just went there instead, it might give an opportunity to
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: just boost my team in other ways. But he hurts
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: so much now because every time he does something, it
• 34:05
  Speaker 3: kind of ruins your game week because it's like, okay, well,
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: I don't have him. And as you said, a good,
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: third of the game do now. So now I'm like,
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: I need to probably think about how I get him in.
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: So is he coming in your team or not? That's
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: what we want to know because you're saying, yes, I
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: love him, but no, I don't want him, but I
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: love him, but I don't want him.
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: I'd rather have Tavernier and Josh King, but I probably
• 34:25
  Speaker 3: will end up being really boring and get gross instead.
• 34:29
  Speaker 4: To back up what Sam just said on assist, so
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: he's got four assists gross in the Premier League so
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: far in five games. He's expected assists, so the kind
• 34:37
  Speaker 4: of assists that you, you know, as it says, He's 0.86.
• 34:43
  Speaker 4: He got four for nothing, really. So again, that might
• 34:47
  Speaker 4: not be sustainable. A bit like what we said for
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: Shadrack and his goal-scoring record so far.
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: Same with Guardiola, right?
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, or Guardiola too, to be fair. I mean, Costulas
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: is even worse because he's got three assists and his
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: expected assist is 0.06. I don't even know how you
• 35:01
  Speaker 4: can get three assists from 0.06 expected assist because you
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: clearly didn't expect them. But, you know, let's see.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: Hmm.
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Sharder, I think, is the same. We've kind of
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: already discussed him, haven't we?
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: Like, if you've got him, you hold him, but there
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: might be better options in terms of the underlying numbers, Jules.
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and again, like, the thing with those kind of
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: stats and the data is we think he might not
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: be sustainable and usually it's not, but he might well
• 35:30
  Speaker 4: be keeping the same level for the next two games,
• 35:33
  Speaker 4: for example. So if you have him or if you
• 35:34
  Speaker 4: want him and you bring him into your team, it
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: might be okay for the next two games, over the
• 35:39
  Speaker 4: whole season, I don't think he can continue like this
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: because then he will end up like a Hurricane or
• 35:43
  Speaker 4: an Mbappé or a Haaland and that's not him, let's
• 35:46
  Speaker 4: be honest. But maybe on a shorter term, go for it.
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: It's not even a gamble because he's been on good
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: form and you could keep that for one, two, three
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: more games maybe. And we said he played with Germany,
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: that would have boosted him, boosted his confidence too. So
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: it might still be a good option, I think, even
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: if I think we are right to say that he
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: got a little bit fortunate so far this season with
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: some of the goals that he scored.
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: Costulas, we've already mentioned him as well. He's been really popular,
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: as has Josh King and Harvey Barnes. But I think
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: we've spoken loads about those, haven't we?
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: And their upside. Differential of the week time.
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: We've spoken about differentials in the last few weeks, but
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: we haven't actually picked one. A reminder, the guys did
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: absolutely terribly in the one before the last time there
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: was any Premier League football. So in true honour of
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: the second chance league, I mean, we're not doing a
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: second chance league in this, but there's an opportunity to
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: really save your season, guys. Jules, you just about beat
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: Sam last week by getting two points.
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: Jules, who are you going with?
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: That's still a win. A win is a win. A
• 36:47
  Speaker 4: win is a win.
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: Who'd have thought that the Forest players would get two
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: and one point against Coventry?
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: I know.
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: Go on, who are you going with, Jules?
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: So I'll go first. Okay, we talked a lot about
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: him already, but he's Josh King at Fulham. because I
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: think he's looked great so far. Two goals in his
• 37:05
  Speaker 4: five games, five starts for them in a team that, OK,
• 37:09
  Speaker 4: maybe he's not reaching the heights that they would want
• 37:13
  Speaker 4: right now, but it's a team that plays nice football.
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: And I think within that, he's very instrumental. He averages
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: three shots per 90, which I think is a good number.
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: But what I think is the most interesting for us
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: is that he averages almost eight touches per in the
• 37:28
  Speaker 4: opposition box per 90 minutes. So he's there a lot.
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: He gets the ball a lot in the box. And
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: because of his style and the low centre of gravity
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: and how quick feet he has and how sharp he is,
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: I think he would be very dangerous every time he
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: touches the ball in the opposition box. So Josh King,
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: we said he's got three good fixtures against the three
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: promoted teams coming up. So yeah, I think that should
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: be a good one this week. Sam?
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: Well, after last week's issues with us both going for
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: Forest players, let's continue the theme with us both going
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: for Fulham players. So I've picked Gonzalo Garcia. He's 3.9% owned,
• 38:07
  Speaker 3: so slightly more than Josh King is. I like him
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: so far. Just the one league goal, but only two
• 38:15
  Speaker 3: forwards in the game, Harlan and Barry, have had more
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: shots in the opening five weeks than he has. Four
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: of his 15 attempts on goal have been classified as
• 38:22
  Speaker 3: big chances. So getting in the right place is doing
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: the right things. And he's also joint third for penalty
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: box touches amongst the forwards in the game. So like
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: Jules was just saying about Josh King, he's in the
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: right places for goals to come. And over the next
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: few weeks, I think their fixtures look really good. So
• 38:40
  Speaker 3: a good opportunity for Fulham to kind of kickstart their
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: season and a good chance for Gonzalo Garcia to get
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: on the score sheet a bit more regularly.
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: Josh King is 3.1% owned, by the way. I forgot
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: to say that. So really, really low ownership.
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah, just a little bit more than, or less than Garcia.
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: Captaincy then.
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: I feel like this is a really tricky week. Sam,
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: your reaction says it all, really.
• 39:04
  Speaker 3: I have no idea who's captain this week, Helz. I
• 39:06
  Speaker 3: honestly have. If I had Saka, I think I would give.
• 39:10
  Speaker 4: It to him.
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: Even against an impressive lead side? I think so. Early kickoff?
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: Oof.
• 39:16
  Speaker 3: That's the problem because I don't, I hate captain early kickoff,
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: but so it's Harlan away at Liverpool and I don't
• 39:23
  Speaker 3: love that. Liverpool have got, they've been really solid defensively
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: in the last few weeks. So I'm not loving that.
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: I quite weirdly like Bruno against Spurs in the evening
• 39:33
  Speaker 3: kickoff on Saturday yeah I quite like that quite like
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: that if I had a new castle player I'd be
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: really tempted with Sir Barnes I feel like it's a
• 39:46
  Speaker 3: differential captain this week for the first time ever. It
• 39:49
  Speaker 3: doesn't feel like Haaland is the standout.
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: If you had to set your armband now, who would
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: you go if you had to finalise your team?
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: Of my current team that I have, I probably would
• 39:59
  Speaker 3: leave it on him. Maybe I might move it to Bruno.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: Jules?
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: It's on Haaland now, but it's because he was there
• 40:07
  Speaker 4: before the international break and I haven't touched it. And again,
• 40:10
  Speaker 4: it's a big game for City away after everything that happened, obviously, too,
• 40:14
  Speaker 4: during the international break. So I'm not really sure. I
• 40:17
  Speaker 4: like Josh King. against him switch away as a captain.
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: Are you captain Josh King? Exactly. I'm not too sure.
• 40:23
  Speaker 4: And it will feel a little bit wrong. I've got
• 40:25
  Speaker 4: nothing against Josh King.
• 40:26
  Speaker 1: He's a differential. You've got to back him.
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, true. That's why I brought him into the team.
• 40:30
  Speaker 4: Brought him in and captain him. No, he's in my
• 40:32
  Speaker 4: team for sure. That's fully backing him. I know. That's
• 40:35
  Speaker 4: another level. Bruno, as we said, against a really poor team,
• 40:39
  Speaker 4: I think is tempting. Savage. I know, I'm kidding you.
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: It was only for you that I said that one.
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: But I think this is going to be an open game, United-Spurs, obviously.
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: So there might be something for Bruno there. So I would, yeah,
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: I don't know yet.
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: Okay, so we already know Jules' transfers.
• 40:57
  Speaker 1: Sam, what are yours?
• 41:01
  Speaker 4: Well, it's gross in and out and then in and
• 41:03
  Speaker 4: out and gross. I love him, but I don't want him.
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: I love him, but I don't want him.
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: It is the gross hokey-cokey.
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: So my preference is to do Sangari and Solis to
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: George King and Tavernier. That's the transfers that I would
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: really like to make. Whether fear gets me, and instead
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: of doing one of those two, I get Pascal Gross instead,
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: that there is a possibility that happens, to be honest,
• 41:29
  Speaker 3: because I just.
• 41:32
  Speaker 3: He's just going to hurt every week that I don't
• 41:34
  Speaker 3: have him. And so that's problematic. But I also want
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: to just make sure, because I have got some slight
• 41:38
  Speaker 3: defensive problems this week, because obviously Konza is flagged, as
• 41:42
  Speaker 3: is Van Hek. So I need to just make sure
• 41:46
  Speaker 3: that I don't have a bigger defensive headache. Because ideally,
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: I don't want to use all three of my transfers.
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: And I also ideally don't want to play Bobby Thomas
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: against Newcastle. So I might need to make a a
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: defensive change. So yeah, at the minute, my plan is
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: to do two, to do Solis and Sangari to Tavernier
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: and King and hold the third transfer. But gross might
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: turn my head.
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: You must have lost a little bit of money on
• 42:12
  Speaker 1: those with them falling.
• 42:14
  Speaker 3: Oh, girls, my team value is just, it's just a
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: disaster to be honest.
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: That's part of the reason I activated my wildcard as
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: well because it kills, it killed me last season, my
• 42:22
  Speaker 2: team value.
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: Like when I did wildcard.
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: Thankfully, I've got some other players who've gained some point
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: one here and there. But like, because I've got Bruno Fernandes,
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: who's taken a drop over the break. I've got Sabozlai,
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: who's also taken a drop over the break as well.
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: So there's just drops been everywhere. But I kind of
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: decided that. I'd rather the information with the amount of
• 42:43
  Speaker 3: flags I have, selling Bruno or Sabozlai, who will play
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: this week, seems absolutely mad on my part to take
• 42:51
  Speaker 3: out players that I know are going to start when
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: I've got players that are a doubt to start. I
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: kind of feel like I have to deal with the
• 42:56
  Speaker 3: doubt players first.
• 42:58
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: Okay, well, that's where we'll leave it. Still plenty of
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: headaches and things for us to sort. Jules is the
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: most organised of the three of us, which is a
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: bit weird.
• 43:05
  Speaker 4: As always, you know, the most professional.
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, done his transfers, so I'm still.
• 43:09
  Speaker 4: go on most professional most professional I've done I've just
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: done the best top 160k in the world you know
• 43:15
  Speaker 4: so like you can just follow my lead just follow
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: the lead right it's.
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: Time to go because no one needs this in their
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: life we do need FPL back in our lives though
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: and the deadline is 11 o'clock on Saturday ahead of
• 43:27
