Hello and welcome to Red Red Blue. I'm Dan Adams.
Speaker 2:I'm Dominic Adams.
Speaker 3:I'm Andrew Adams and I'm mobile.
Speaker 1:He's in a car, but anyway. So that was an utterly terrible, horrible, awful game week for the vast majority of us. The robot came off at halftime, loeple then fluffed their lines at Luton and Spurs completely lost their head with Chelsea. Congratulations to anyone who held on to Nick Jackson from like five weeks ago. We'll assess the impact of those.
Speaker 3:Oh, Palma, you're not going to mention him.
Speaker 1:I was going to wait for Dom to mention him, given that I was his grand transfer. I want to run the intro carry on, Carry on.
Speaker 3:I like that you picked Jackson, but carry on.
Speaker 1:So we're going to assess the impact of Jackson and Palma on the results, the cars, the injuries. We look towards game week 12, then we'll see how the leagues are looking before revealing any changes in our teams. So everyone, buckle up. I didn't realize you were going to be in a car. I knew that works really well. Buckle up, let's go. So the first game it's only on Saturday and Sunday. Hooray, no Monday or Friday games.
Speaker 3:First, one is.
Speaker 1:Bulls versus Spurs? Who knows?
Speaker 3:anymore. I feel like you're spurs assets.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you feel about your spurs assets, if you have any.
Speaker 3:You know, to be honest, like I watched some of the highlights of that game and I feel really bad for Spurs because, like they, just every time the fans know it's coming at one week they're going to shoot themselves in the foot. And it was just this week and they just kept shooting. I'll be honest.
Speaker 1:I watched it as well, and even when they went down to 10 men, they looked better than Chelsea for a good 20, 25 minutes. The legs just went out of them at the end. That was all. It was Like they were still outclassing Chelsea all over the park.
Speaker 3:Think about it though. Like if you wanted a team to play with 10 men, like Youngman Son would probably be the striking thick.
Speaker 1:Off a running. So Dom the doggy red card, romero red card. I can't believe anyone on our league had Romero. Like why would you take him? He's a card magnet, but anyway, Madison looking injured. There was another injury. Who was the other injury?
Speaker 3:Vendor Venn.
Speaker 1:Yeah, what you doing with your spurs assets.
Speaker 2:I only have one spurs asset and it was medicine, because I sold doggy stall last week, so I got that before it got dicey. I'm going to keep Madel because I'm pretty sure he's going to be fine for this weekend. He Big Ang took him off when it went down to nine men or 10 men so that he could get more defenders on, so I don't think it was as serious an injury as Vendor Venn.
Speaker 1:And what are you going to do, Andy, with your now decimated defense?
Speaker 3:I already made a transfer to get rid of Vendor Venn because it looked like he did his hamstring, so I don't think he's going to be back anytime soon. Poro will play and they have to play him now because they're running out of defenders with all the red cards and injuries.
Speaker 1:That's a fair point. What about Sun still looking favourable?
Speaker 3:I think so. I mean, the realistic way to look at it is they've lost one game all season.
Speaker 1:Catastrophically.
Speaker 2:But if you're going to go down to nine men, you're probably going to lose the game.
Speaker 3:Yeah you're probably going to lose. Red cards are hard. Thanks, Marcus Rashford.
Speaker 1:You said it though, andy. I think I suppose we're always going to have this tipping point. Is it a tipping point or a blip? I guess is the question I'm asking you.
Speaker 3:Well, we'll have to see, won't we? It'll depend. In a couple of weeks we'll know. Either they write the ship after that, and you couldn't ask for a better fixture than Wolves without Neto.
Speaker 1:I was about to say he is injured. He's red flagged, so you could know. Pedronet, over the one talking point of Wolves, is now gone. Looking at Sun 9.6 million and he's gone for the past five games Two, ten, fourteen, three, seven. It's not bad 9.6, though You'd expect him to return every match.
Speaker 3:Who else are you going to have to eat your swapping for?
Speaker 1:I guess no one. He's in a weird class of his own, isn't he? He's sitting above the brunos of the world but below the salas.
Speaker 3:I mean you don't want to owe to God do you, Right now you can't even get a game. And then Liverpool I don't want anyone except Sauer, so it's kind of hard. And then City. I guess you could be like Risky Biscuits and get like Doku or something.
Speaker 1:Well, come on to that, Alright. So just to round up the Wolves versus Spurs game. Obviously now, with Neto out of Wolves, you're not taking any of those guys. In the Spurs side of things, the defence has been decimated. Poro, probably the only name there In midfield. Dom, you're still feeling comfortable about Madison and if you have some, you're probably going to keep him.
Speaker 2:The only other one that's kind of sneaking up in there is Bren Johnson, because Rashalsen's out with surgery. So, Brennan's going to get a start.
Speaker 3:I don't think you want him, though. I mean I think so Spurs at the back they're going to do. He'll probably be Poro Diah, some other centre back, I don't know who.
Speaker 1:Oh, he's Spurs, isn't it?
Speaker 3:Yeah, and then Emerson's probably the Royal. Emerson Royal's probably the other wingback, isn't he? It's not like a horrible defence, but it's definitely like they're missing three out of that. Four started.
Speaker 1:The carrier looked fucking good, though, to be fair to him, yeah, the carrier saved him.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I still like Spurs. I think it's kind of early to bail on them after one loss.
Speaker 1:Okay, moving on then. Next game is another Londoner team, Arsenal versus Burnley. Obviously, we're ignoring Burnley and focusing on Arsenal. You've already said that Odegard is not worth the time anymore. Who is worth the time anymore? Is Sakawinoff injured last night? Did I see?
Speaker 3:I saw that. Yeah, he's yellow flagged.
Speaker 1:Not great who do you think that is?
Speaker 3:He's played him injured this season so far. Right, like multiple times. He'll do it again.
Speaker 2:Who do I think for Arsenal? I don't think anyone for Arsenal.
Speaker 3:I mean Martin.
Speaker 2:Ali's off form right, I think, ketsey, but he's also going to knock as well.
Speaker 3:I don't think any of them are on form. I think Ketsey is off form. I think Martin Ali's off form. Odegard can't even start now. Trossard's off form. They're like all over the shop.
Speaker 2:Pretty much.
Speaker 1:Is Jayzus injured?
Speaker 3:last week.
Speaker 2:I'll find out for you now.
Speaker 1:He's not injured. He's red flagged for sure. Don't take any Arsenal assets. That feels really weird to say when you look at where they are on the table.
Speaker 3:That's not right. I think you can take Arsenal defenders, because their fixtures are not that bad. I'd be okay with Gabriel and Saliba and I'd be okay with Saka, so I would have three Arsenal players. Technically, I have two.
Speaker 1:Gabriel, who was on the bench for the Sheffield game.
Speaker 3:Yeah. That's how you play Gabriel, if you wanted to guarantee the start you could do Ben White, but I think you should have Saliba. They have decent fixtures and they're still like a top three team.
Speaker 1:Is this a case where, much like you did with Chelsea and then you did with Tottenham, would you be loading up on Arsenal with the run coming up?
Speaker 3:Maybe I did look at it. Actually, spoiler alert I already transferred out van de Ven and it was for someone who's not on City, Spurs or Chelsea.
Speaker 2:Does he play for Arsenal, andy? Is it Ben White?
Speaker 3:He doesn't play for Arsenal. I almost did Ben White, to be honest, but then I didn't because their fixtures weren't quite as good as the team that I did get the player from.
Speaker 2:Oh don't you tell me you bought Maguire, or else I'm going to be fucking crazy.
Speaker 3:I did do Maguire. I did do a United player, but it wasn't Maguire.
Speaker 2:Fucking copy-embasted.
Speaker 1:Why are you upset about this? I've lost fucking four. Three to Copenhagen. It's not like it's a great move, it's been good for me so far.
Speaker 3:That game was. We'll talk to you when we get to the United one, but that is literally some of the worst refereeing I've ever seen.
Speaker 1:Tell it to the Arsenal Newcastle fans Crystal Palace vs Everton, then after Arsenal, we're saying load upon the Arsenal defence, ignore the rest for now, until they figure themselves out. So Dom, as a resident Crystal Palace expert, who are we taking from Crystal Palace? This is your fixture.
Speaker 2:You're taking Sam Johnston, aren't you Highest scoring keeper?
Speaker 3:No, you're not.
Speaker 2:Why wouldn't you? He's a highest scoring keeper.
Speaker 1:How has he achieved this?
Speaker 2:How has he achieved the highest scoring keeper? Because he has one, two, three, four, five clean sheets.
Speaker 3:Who did they play in the clean sheets?
Speaker 2:Burnley Forest, manu, fulham and Sheffield United all shite teams.
Speaker 3:Yeah, so who are they playing in the next five games? Shite, even ever.
Speaker 2:Shite Evans, shitey Luton, and then Wetzbam, and then Bournemouth.
Speaker 3:So he's not going to clean against Wetzbam, is he?
Speaker 2:I mean it does for them.
Speaker 3:They couldn't win the way of a wet paper bag for the first eight games. Yeah, Bowen might have something to say about that, but he's going to clean against Evan and Luton, he probably won against Evan and Evan's in the good now I nearly spat my TL. Don't do that, they are fucking stretch that how many games? Have they won now? They've won a few in a row, like two. I think it's got to be more than three games.
Speaker 2:I'm going to put you there Evan won three games this season. Is that it, that's?
Speaker 3:it. When were they like, were they?
Speaker 2:the last three games. No, they won, they drew. They drew with Brighton, they won against West Ham and they lost Liverpool in the past three games?
Speaker 3:Okay, I don't know. I think you could make an argument to get in the way.
Speaker 2:You went two, nine, two, two in his past four games and his fixtures. He's got Palace, then it's Manu and then Forest, newcastle, Chelsea.
Speaker 3:Probably not, then he don't want any of its employees.
Speaker 2:Then no you don't you don't want any of its employees. You do want San Jonston.
Speaker 3:I don't think you want San Rafa.
Speaker 2:If I had a transfer and I could go and get a new keeper, I probably would.
Speaker 3:According to like all the things that I've done in the past three games.
Speaker 2:I've got a real transfer for a new keeper.
Speaker 3:Don't you have every other. I don't, I don't, I don't everyone other.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we go for fucking Johnson, just to be anyway, you're gonna have to start him if you get him them. It's done now.
Speaker 1:It's fucking done, big Sean Johnson 4.6. It's bargain, yep, he's gonna see you now.
Speaker 3:Is he like?
Speaker 2:the third keeper. He's the third keeper.
Speaker 1:He's the star, he's the keeper. Our boy got injured. Remember it's the ex. United guy went there and then he got a match, did he? Did he get injured for a match? What a game.
Speaker 2:Yeah Got fucked after the San Johnson, he's on the England squad now, oh, he's the third. He's the third keeper in the England squad, but still Third keeper. I had a fucking Nick Pope.
Speaker 3:So you know which which actually is a complete travesty. Yeah, that's bullshit, that's bullshit that fucking T Rex was. Nick Pope is not the starting it. Let me know what he has to do at this point.
Speaker 2:Get more clean sheets. Sam Johnson has the same mouth.
Speaker 3:One of them plays for a good team, the other one plays for.
Speaker 2:Palace. Yeah, it's fucking more impressive that Sam Johnson's kept clean sheets in it.
Speaker 1:Alright, moving on from the Johnson loving, let's go to United versus Luton. So you want?
Speaker 2:to talk about the Copenhagen League. I fucking love Copenhagen.
Speaker 3:It doesn't really, man. Like you know, there are a couple pieces that are probably fantasy relevant. Like Hoylund got two goals, it seems you can only score in the fucking Champions League and not in the actual league. Bruno got another goal. So I don't know. I think that it probably is good. I think they'll beat.
Speaker 2:Luton, luton are really bad.
Speaker 3:They can't score to Luton at home. Um, I don't think it's worth transferring in any of their attacking players, though. I mean I'm happy having Delot though.
Speaker 2:Watch Delot not start this weekend.
Speaker 3:Now I'm better, that's why I'm gonna cry. But they don't have any left. They have to play Delot.
Speaker 1:I think they're gonna be, one of the only players. Why?
Speaker 2:Why he's fine, he's fine, he's fine, he's fine he played right back.
Speaker 3:Yeah, they'll play Delot at left back what they have been doing.
Speaker 1:So what will be one of?
Speaker 3:the.
Speaker 1:Delot Maguire and.
Speaker 3:Evan Zinjus of. Viran.
Speaker 2:It'll be Lindoff and Viran. Yeah, I think it'll be Lindoff, on the left, viran Maguire. Oh no, it might be regular on the left.
Speaker 3:Actually it's not, it's not.
Speaker 2:Are you fucking speak about forum to people at Manman? Harry Maguire got me seven points last last week.
Speaker 3:I tell you what. Yes, I've had like three man of matches in the row and like British games, not excluding that Champions League.
Speaker 2:Travesty, my man Harry Maguire.
Speaker 1:Big slobber to do it for you, you know he's gonna be dominating, nearly scoring.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, that that would have been good, but unfortunately for me to be ranked as number one now, but was it worth sacrificing?
Speaker 1:Karl Carl Paul McCall wasода calm up there you go guys.
Speaker 3:That's the last episode title.
Speaker 1:Karl Palmer, karl Carracer, torpor Mito for 12 points?
Speaker 3:No, because it.
Speaker 1:That almost is so good. Fucking hell, I think.
Speaker 2:Chelsea are back on form for the downside of their bipolar.
Speaker 1:I said that last week. Can you complain?
Speaker 2:No, I'm saying they're going back down again. They're on the downside of their bipolar.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they were only on form, because they figured out Topno playing a high line with nine men. It's not like it was a fucking hard fought game or anything. And they fucked it up for the first four or five times. They tried it, they kept getting offside and actually figured it out.
Speaker 3:To be fair, like Mudrick doesn't know offside to save his life, he doesn't know offside. He doesn't know offside, he doesn't know offside. Mudrick just looks confused the whole time. I actually feel really bad for him. He looks like a child playing with grownups. Yeah, that's not right. It's not good for him, though, considering the amount of money they paid for him on his 50 year contract.
Speaker 1:But united Andy, united before we go on to the top.
Speaker 3:Yeah, like don't get any of the attacking players. I think it's fine, like their fixture runs really good. So you could try defenders and try to nick a few clean sheets, like they don't score much but they also don't seem to concede too much against bad teams.
Speaker 2:Mm, hmm, I'm still sticking with Victor.
Speaker 3:I think that's a very good move, because I really think that's a bad move. You know what? What they're missing and I was trying to explain this to like someone I worked the other day like it's like with Everton actually, like football is all about, like momentum, like you get a cup, you just need to string together like a few wins so that the players start to actually have confidence again. It's like Rashford in that season when he was good, when he was like scoring every week. It's like you need it's all like a confidence game, an arsenal. Like you're showing that now spurs, we'll see this week.
Speaker 1:Like let's say that's the first game.
Speaker 3:This is Key, then, because if they lose again, if they lose again, it could be with a slippery slope back to where they should be.
Speaker 1:Okay, loot inside. Obviously, no one's touching with a 10 foot barge pool.
Speaker 3:What about Carlton mollusk?
Speaker 1:Callum mollusk. Callum mollusk with a car, with a car.
Speaker 3:Callum mollusk.
Speaker 1:What I see.
Speaker 2:Are you?
Speaker 1:are you taking the mollusk?
Speaker 3:I still have the mollusk on the bench. To be honest, if some of my players that sack is injured, it's mollusk time.
Speaker 1:We go crustacean ahead time. All right, last match on Saturday is Bournemouth versus Newcastle, so I guess.
Speaker 3:I would I actually look me up on perry power bet for Salanki to score me well, do.
Speaker 2:Whilst you're doing that, isaac and Wilson are both injured for this game, and so my man, antony Gordon, is gonna be starting up from.
Speaker 3:What about your lens? And up front, yeah.
Speaker 2:No, fuck you.
Speaker 3:He is way more Brazilian than Anthony Gordon.
Speaker 2:Yeah, a AG has got it all the way.
Speaker 3:I don't think he does that. I think they're gonna play him on the wing.
Speaker 2:They're gonna play him up front because they've not got much other things happening in the field right now, either because Bruno's out, jacob Murphy's out, anderson's out, burns is out to Nally's on the naughty train.
Speaker 1:And to Nally's a criminal. Dominic Salanki. To score Anytime is 11 to 4.
Speaker 3:Oh, that's not bad, I think you might eat us go.
Speaker 1:Anthony Gordon's way higher up. Anthony Gordon's two to one. No one calls him a.
Speaker 3:Not even his mom calls him a g.
Speaker 1:Why would his mom use a cool nickname?
Speaker 3:He literally still looks like he's 12.
Speaker 1:He does to be fair.
Speaker 2:He got a good haircut though, because he doesn't look like day tree from Coronation Street anymore.
Speaker 1:You know, what's weird is that Paddy power as Callum Wilson to score anytime 11 to 10. He's apparently injured. I don't know he's managing this, he's got a miraculous recovery.
Speaker 3:Yeah, he's gonna play for five minutes to the end of the score.
Speaker 1:That's gonna prop him up in front of the goal like that's Scott Stirling to the ball. Bounce off him.
Speaker 3:Well, this is the problem for Newcastle, though, like because I I am kind of worried for them. If they missed Isaac and Wilson for a while, wolf, that's gonna be rough.
Speaker 2:Oh, Ben's on my boy.
Speaker 3:I think it's not good for them. They need us, they need a striker for the way they play.
Speaker 1:What about defense wise? They've got burn and botman and target all out as well, so the defense is also looking pretty rough, although Livramento might be a good shout as a cheap way to get in and he looks hot.
Speaker 3:When they playing in like in the strike. It was hot, so hot right now. It's so hot right now. Yeah, no, in the Champions League he was playing as a striker, he was playing as a winger off the, off the front.
Speaker 1:Did he play last week for 45 minutes last week?
Speaker 3:Yeah, I don't know, I still wouldn't have him. I would stay clear in Newcastle they have the worst injury crisis in the Premier League. So yeah, but now, who you like, you need an almaran or a gordon game base for them to win.
Speaker 2:That's what I'm banking on.
Speaker 1:Hmm, okay, so we're saying stay clear of the Newcastle team.
Speaker 3:I'm shouting it right now. I think that's a bomb with win.
Speaker 1:I think you're just in love with Dominic Slanky. I think it's a bomb with win Tavernier and Solanki. Oh, tavernier, that was the other one, I forgot about him.
Speaker 3:Oh he's back.
Speaker 1:Yes, it's good yet, but he will. What about those people that got trippier at, you know, six or seven million?
Speaker 3:Is that still a deal? You have to play, don't you? You spent the money.
Speaker 1:I have those people.
Speaker 2:I got them at 6.7 and I'm still gonna play him. I should never dropped them last week.
Speaker 3:Yeah, if you've got players like that, you have to play him. It's like if you've got what's his face for Liverpool, trent, like you don't feel good about it because he can't keep a clean sheet to save his life, but you still got to play him because you're paid for him.
Speaker 1:Cool. Aston Villa versus Fulham kicks off first on Sunday. That's a boring one, obviously.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, Dominic, let's hear about Villa. Now Dom Like go. Where's what happens to Ollie Watkins? Is he dead?
Speaker 2:Fucking. They lose one game, andy, and then you're shitting all over them.
Speaker 3:Who did they lose to Dom?
Speaker 2:First.
Speaker 3:Woof. That's not good, is it?
Speaker 2:Wasn't pretty, wasn't pretty, but they're playing Fulham and Fulham are fucking awful.
Speaker 3:Glad I brought in Douglas, louise. And then they proceeded to Gently shit the bed everywhere.
Speaker 1:That was amusing. That was fun. Yes, it was fun For Aston Villa. Watkins like, looking at his stats, he's not like. He's gone 2-2-11-5. And then he had that amazing game against Brighton. I think kick started everyone bringing him in. What's he done in the last three?
Speaker 3:games. What's the last three games? What's he done in the last three? 2-2-11 2-2-11 against.
Speaker 1:Forrest, Luton and West Ham.
Speaker 3:But you were doing it in reverse. It was 11-2-2, is that right?
Speaker 1:No, no, no, no. Forrest got 2, luton got 2 and West Ham got 11.
Speaker 2:No last week he got 2, the week before he got 2.
Speaker 3:Yeah, in terms of time, 11 was 3 weeks ago. Yeah, he's got worse. Yeah, yeah, don't like that.
Speaker 1:No, no, they do not for 8.2 million, no.
Speaker 3:Because Ollie Watkins historically was not a very good striker.
Speaker 2:I don't know about that. He was hot last the end of the season. How many?
Speaker 3:goals did he get?
Speaker 2:all the way back to me that this season though. Oh no, you're fucking asking, aren't you?
Speaker 1:So while you're looking that up, dom, I think obviously you keep him against 15 goals last season.
Speaker 2:It's not bad.
Speaker 3:It's no early, harlan, does it.
Speaker 1:That's a bit harsh is anyone early Harlan?
Speaker 3:I don't know. Is that even compared to like Gabriel J Zuz?
Speaker 1:That's what I'm wondering. Is that third striker slot now becoming more?
Speaker 2:Who's fucking nobody there.
Speaker 3:It's all.
Speaker 2:It's all fucking nobody to buy anymore.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's just Harlan on his own.
Speaker 2:Basically. Although the five midfielders, if you actually fucking build something.
Speaker 3:Yeah well, that's the thing. You got on that hot. You got in the Alvarez train and now Dooku and other people are stealing all your points.
Speaker 2:I can't believe they got what was it? Six goals and fucking Alvarez can't get an assist or a goal out of that.
Speaker 3:You know what Phil Foden saved my freaking week? We'll get to that in a minute anyway, but I think to relevant to this game and Villa like, I think that it is very hard to advocate for playing more than one striker right now, but then the problem is the midfielders are going down like flies as well, like the premium ones.
Speaker 2:I think I'll hold on to Watkins for the next three games. They've got full of them and it spurs then Bournemouth.
Speaker 3:Well, I don't think they're going to do well against. Spurs, but full of them, and Bournemouth are good Ah yeah, and then they go to City Arsenal.
Speaker 2:So I think when they go to City it'll probably buy by Watkins, buy by Cash.
Speaker 3:Yes.
Speaker 1:The problem is that obviously you got them and the fixtures look good, then it's really hard to justify moving that, especially because most people will have at least two or three flags sitting in their team right now.
Speaker 3:Imagine you kept your team sterling down like along those lines. Imagine you've done that.
Speaker 1:I've been Raheem Sterling. A couple of weeks ago it wouldn't have mattered.
Speaker 3:He's had his good weeks now, don't you Bindum?
Speaker 1:Yeah, but then he has his bad weeks in between. Why the fuck have I got Raheem Sterling?
Speaker 3:It's like when you dip shits, you've got Cope Armor and then Bindum straight away.
Speaker 1:I don't have Cope Armor, never had it was me that had fucking armor, Cope Armor, Cope Armor.
Speaker 3:Tom had Cope Armor. It was terrible. I do think there's still a question, though, like you know, the formation thing with Villa it's a rough one. I'm probably going to do the same. My two Villa players, dina and Louise, are gone after those three games.
Speaker 1:Brighton vs Sheffield is the next game.
Speaker 2:Does anyone actually have any Brighton players left?
Speaker 3:They're still talking about it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's not a bad one in the pictures they got to be fair.
Speaker 3:Maybe even the missing piece all along.
Speaker 1:Is he back this week, though? Because he's still he's not flagged.
Speaker 2:I wish you would have told me at the start of the fucking podcast, instead of me going for fucking Sam Johnston as a keeper.
Speaker 3:Because Green Sam was to move. How are you watching? Do you think I get like two assists this week now as well?
Speaker 2:I'm not minus four in this year, I'm minus eight last week, just to get a minus 12 last week to get all that shit.
Speaker 1:What is their run looking like? They've got Sheffield Forest and then Chelsea.
Speaker 3:It's not actually a bad run and their shit right now Like on form their shit.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I might look at that, bringing a stupendome back in. I also still have Matoma, for whatever reason. It's one of the other problems.
Speaker 3:Matoma didn't do anything last week either, did he? He's not in the grade just now.
Speaker 2:Last time he did, oh no.
Speaker 1:Interesting was game week six, where he got 14 points against Bournemouth. Oh no, that's a lie. He got an assist against everything. He's six points against everything.
Speaker 2:Oh, there you go. Right, we played tonight against Ajax and B2-0.
Speaker 3:Yeah, looks good.
Speaker 2:Not Matoma Anzu Fatih and Eddingra.
Speaker 3:So not Matoma.
Speaker 2:And obviously not Mr.
Speaker 3:It is Stupendome playing.
Speaker 2:But was Perveeman even playing? It looks like he's played because he's got a rating in the game. There you go. Oh he's back.
Speaker 3:You haven't even got him.
Speaker 2:Wow, came on it. Came on it at 65 minutes, wow, oh, so hold on a second. So Stupendome came on on the 65th minute and then he was back off again on the 77th. That's a good reading.
Speaker 3:Okay, maybe it was good you got Sam Johnson, though.
Speaker 2:Yes.
Speaker 1:Alright, and on the other side of it, sheffield, obviously, anyway you're skipping your fantasy content.
Speaker 3:Dipshit Like. Are you keeping Matoma? Why are you keeping Matoma?
Speaker 1:Here's why I'm keeping Matoma Andy. It's because I've got Anderson for Luton to deal with, anderson for Newcastle to deal with, houdogge to deal with. I've got, like I've got three red flags in my team that are more pressing because you just can't guarantee who isn't going to play. So you need to have a playing bench, or at least one or two playing bench players.
Speaker 3:Yeah, the models he always plays Well again.
Speaker 1:we said the Watkins, Not address any of the flags at all and just bringing the models instead of Watkins.
Speaker 3:They're Karl Palmer and Karl Palmer.
Speaker 1:Karl.
Speaker 3:Palmer, karl, palmer, karl and Malus Good.
Speaker 1:The mispronounced team of hell. No, matoma I'm not super fussed about. I imagine he may come good.
Speaker 2:I don't think he really was.
Speaker 1:He's on 52 points so far.
Speaker 3:And he got all of them in the first six weeks.
Speaker 1:Well, where does that put him in terms of other midfielders? It's a better question. Is he even on the first page? Yeah, he's just behind Foden, one point behind Foden.
Speaker 3:Yeah, but I think the problem is like and this, by the way, fits like the trippie-a thing as well I think that what you should have learned last week from the trippie-a performance, like in difficult games, is should ignore fixtures and focus on form, except man-see.
Speaker 1:So if I flip the table to form yeah, form's what you want that's going to put Embuemo Dooku, salah Sun and Douglas Louise at the top. So you're advocating for Douglas Louise, the guy who got you no points.
Speaker 3:Got big doggie in. He's going to do it this week, because last week was just one.
Speaker 2:Don't sign Embuemo's. I don't think you're going to you.
Speaker 3:Better have these all, point, get ready to hurt again. I'm not getting Embuemo again. I learned my lesson on Brentford.
Speaker 1:It's a wise move because they're the next game against Liverpool anyway, so it's Liverpool versus Brentford.
Speaker 3:You know what? I would not be surprised, like if my form versus fixtures thing holds up, then Embuemo should get points in that game.
Speaker 1:Yeah, he should.
Speaker 2:Yeah, because Brentford didn't. They beat West Ham 3-2.
Speaker 1:And he's gone 5-13-14 in the past three games and then 2-2-1-2 after that.
Speaker 2:Fucking hell, Andy. 5-13-14. How do you miss out on that?
Speaker 3:Big numbers from Big Brian Big.
Speaker 2:Brian's got you inside.
Speaker 3:The other Big.
Speaker 1:Brian, not you, or that?
Speaker 3:Big Brian.
Speaker 1:No, I don't think so.
Speaker 3:I don't think the same guys.
Speaker 1:I guarantee you he's not ginger for a start. But I don't think Brentford are worth it at all, like Embuemo Whistler and that it's too hit or miss. The fixtures aren't kind to them. They've got pool, then they've got Arsenal, then they get looting afterwards, so it's just not worth bringing in.
Speaker 3:It's not worth targeting loot. Neither do they don't consider what no, it loses, but they don't concede tons of goals.
Speaker 1:What about Liverpool's side of things, taking Salah out of the equation, because he's obviously just a good pick, being third in the form table that he is? What about? Diaz? Scored and his dad's now been rescued? You know that's good news all around.
Speaker 2:He's going to score this weekend. I fucking guarantee it now.
Speaker 3:I don't think so. I think the pressure's off, like his dad's back.
Speaker 1:That's what the negotiation was. You better score a goal, or else we'll kill your dad.
Speaker 3:I think Klopp kidnapped his dad.
Speaker 1:Klopp kidnapped his dad. Oh my God, what about Darwin Nunes? Then, up front, no.
Speaker 3:No, nunes, no stupid mustaches or ponytails.
Speaker 2:Thank you, he had nine chances. Nine chances to score that weekend.
Speaker 3:Didn't they lose to Toulouse tonight? Well, yesterday.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they did. Yeah, I was just looking at it.
Speaker 2:They lost to Toulouse.
Speaker 1:They lost three to Toulouse. It was Casares, ungol, jota for Liverpool, with the McAllister assist. So again, nothing from the big boys.
Speaker 2:Hey, but Villa also played tonight. What about them? Your man, Dougie Louise, got an assist.
Speaker 3:Oh, let's go.
Speaker 1:Doug, that's it, he's back in business. Back on the form table.
Speaker 2:What can score a goal, so you can fuck right off.
Speaker 3:Okay, I can survive. As long as Dougie got an assist, it's okay now. Yeah, I don't want any Liverpool players. Then I think that Darwin misses every single chance that he takes.
Speaker 1:Jota.
Speaker 3:I don't even know if he's going to start. And then who else they have. Maybe Diaz is the only one I'd consider.
Speaker 1:Now that he's back.
Speaker 3:Nice.
Speaker 2:Nick Assen got a fucking 20. Minute. Well, didn't he get a fucking run out?
Speaker 3:Simicast got benched.
Speaker 2:Yeah, I don't know. So I'm saying he got a fucking 20 minute run out at the end of the game.
Speaker 1:One point cameo at the end of the game.
Speaker 3:Yeah turns out they prefer playing Joe Mez out of position than playing Simicast.
Speaker 1:You feel pretty fucking bad if you were Simicast, wouldn't you? It's like oh, you're going to play the central defender in my position instead. Okay, cool.
Speaker 2:I know they subbed off Simicast at half time in this game, so you might be on for a start for the weekend.
Speaker 3:You might be. It's not turning out, all the people who brought him in the way that they hoped, though.
Speaker 1:He's not flagged, so I can't worry about him. Anyway, it's my stance.
Speaker 3:Yeah, he's not broken leg, though suspended, so he's not a problem for Dan this week.
Speaker 1:Exactly All right. So no Liverpool players except Salah, and on the Brentford side we're not getting the ball down, so we're not going near it. West Ham vs Forest is the last two o'clock game.
Speaker 3:That's a bad game, kind of boring.
Speaker 2:I got bowling, I'm happy.
Speaker 1:I still got wordprows. For some reason, you got an assist tonight. There you go, he's gone. Two, two, two, two, four, two. Oh Jesus, oh dear, that theory did not pan out with it. It's a big team and they get lots of free kicks. Yeah no, it turns out, that's the best way.
Speaker 2:Go for Mr Bowen. He's gone seven two.
Speaker 1:I don't want him. I don't think I can afford him anyway. I think they're not the same price. Wordprows is 6.2 and Bowen is 7.5. They're radically different prices. Are you happy with your Bowen pick down? Is he staying in the team?
Speaker 2:Yeah, he's staying in the team. He scores against most teams or gets points against most teams. Well, fuck not. And the West Ham got shit team this week with Forrest. Then they've got Burnley next week and they've got Palace the week after. Although I'd be hard to get scoring against Sam Johnson, I'll tell you that. And then they've got Spurs week after for a fucking London Derby.
Speaker 1:You got it made. Dom, you got it made. You know what you're doing.
Speaker 2:And Fulham after that as well. So fucking West Ham. And then Bowles after this, Burnley after the other game.
Speaker 1:What I'm hearing, Dom, is that you want to load up on West Ham. You seem to be all over them. You're getting a bit moody.
Speaker 2:I should have picked up fucking Ariola instead of Johnston Ariola's a great pick, I told you that before and then you're like why why?
Speaker 3:why I want Sam Johnson.
Speaker 1:So, West. Ham who else?
Speaker 2:Who else would you pick? Just maybe Two-check, two-check.
Speaker 3:Two-check. Yeah, he's on decent form.
Speaker 1:What about Kudos?
Speaker 2:Oh yeah the Dutch guy.
Speaker 3:Big Mohammed 1111. What's he in as of the midfielder of a forward?
Speaker 2:He's in the lead for 6.5.
Speaker 3:It's not bad.
Speaker 2:Sneaky. Pick that one. Switch him out for the mid-jewel.
Speaker 3:If Dan didn't have all of his transfers to put in cripple players, he could put him in for Matelma Kudos.
Speaker 2:He could do.
Speaker 1:Okay, sadly I've got other players to put up. And then up front, antonio 37 points so far.
Speaker 2:Man fuck that.
Speaker 1:Thank you Saying that West Ham are on a three-game losing streak to Brentford, everton and Aston Villa, like I know they're going to be in games but it doesn't seem like it matters.
Speaker 2:No, they still score.
Speaker 1:All right, you guys are advocating, I am not. Last game on Sunday is at 430 Chelsea versus man City. Who boy?
Speaker 2:Chelsea going to get fucked.
Speaker 3:You reckon. No, I think that's a 2-2.
Speaker 2:No way, no way, chelsea going to get fucked, let me check the odds on that one Jesus 2-2. I called the last one.
Speaker 1:You called last one, but you got the scorer wrong, didn't?
Speaker 3:you, I got the scorer wrong. I think Chelsea City is a 2-2. All day long.
Speaker 1:All right, Chelsea versus City. Who are you taking from either of those teams? I guess it's the better question to be asking.
Speaker 3:Everyone that you have from man City are not playing Sanchez this week, because I don't think they'll keep a paint sheet.
Speaker 2:Chelsea versus what about Karl Palmer?
Speaker 3:Karl Palmer maybe Karl Palmer. Karl Palmer against his ex-club maybe yeah 12-1.
Speaker 1:2-2, Andy 12-1.
Speaker 3:Oh, that's good.
Speaker 1:I don't think it is. I think they're going to get butted like done.
Speaker 3:I think it's good, then, karl.
Speaker 2:Palmer again, they're going to get fucking butted.
Speaker 3:You've got Phil Foden against the VTEC Phil Foden.
Speaker 1:There's a battle of the Fodens. Who is the real Phil Foden? So the question I kind of want to ask there is do Chelsea assets? Do you have any, and would you pick any up after the game against Tottenham or was?
Speaker 3:that just a one-off? What?
Speaker 2:is their fix-tious. If it's five, it goes bad. It's City, Newcastle, Brighton, Manu.
Speaker 3:No, then it's yes.
Speaker 1:I thought we were playing form-not-fixes, you just?
Speaker 2:said that like 10 minutes ago.
Speaker 3:They're from one game.
Speaker 1:Yeah, let's see this one. Okay, and then flipping that coin on its head. What about on the City side of things? Do you have Alvarez and if you do, are you keeping him?
Speaker 2:Last time I'm keeping him.
Speaker 3:I don't have a last game if you had a mojip.
Speaker 1:And if you had alvarez, would you keep him?
Speaker 3:no, I've been in and that's why I don't have him all right, state the obvious.
Speaker 1:Try to ask a bit about a leading question fucking bind him, didn't?
Speaker 3:I don't know if you know how the universe works, but you know I don't have him, which means I would have been them fuck sake.
Speaker 1:Okay, so Foden is your pick. If you have alvarez Dom, you're saying to hold on to him for now, or it's? Not a fire worth putting out well, I mean what we're gonna get blank for two weeks in a row he's blank.
Speaker 2:But then, previous to that, what? Was he let me see nine to eight, because yeah, it's not super reading, but still he's getting over 70 minutes on a team that batters everyone what about you?
Speaker 3:who is he gonna?
Speaker 2:start didn't he play in Europe first city as?
Speaker 1:long question last night though yeah they won in Europe.
Speaker 2:Holland scored which was worried, he was gonna be, injured it's Tuesday.
Speaker 1:They played man city versus the young boys, which was a particularly my kids to no end the fact there's a team called young boys they know what stadium they play at right is it the youth club?
Speaker 3:no, no, no, young boys stadium is called wank door fuck, no way it is.
Speaker 1:Doku played last night.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it was at city you only played ten minutes, though we came on at eight minutes there you go maybe. Phil for Phil. Folks played the whole game hmm, oh then you can do that.
Speaker 3:Though he's a machine, it's a little gold scoring machine. Didn't even start.
Speaker 1:Comes on for Holland bang goal all right, foden is getting a shout how and obviously gets the shout defense. Possibly cardinals are now injured. I want to play the Europe what's that for just?
Speaker 2:there. It's not that good to be fair and it goes off the Chelsea, then they've got Liverpool at home, tottenham filler ouch, not no.
Speaker 3:I mean I think that, like defenders, this year is just super hard.
Speaker 2:I feel like it's like the hardest year for picking defenders ever tell you who would be a good show after this week would be mr awani isn't he dead?
Speaker 1:no, he's coming back come back by Jesus came back oh well, not like Gabriel Jesus, but he's coming back.
Speaker 2:Jesus came back, so kind of like Gabriel Jesus came back but any left again now you played 81 minutes against Villa and then Forest fixtures coming up after the West End game goes Brighton, everton, fulham, wolves. Chris, would you just like back into the world anyway, because he got injured did he have one chance he took his chance to score two goals, didn't he all right, that is all of the games.
Speaker 1:Let's move on to the leagues and the unconscious you're driving. I don't want to distract you, so I'll run through the red, red, blue league other from memory and top. In 10th place we've got all the greats in 9th. We've got Billy golf in 6th, usmann Shabir in 5th, connor gun in 4th, dominic Adams in 3rd, who we Miller in 2nd, tobias Scott and top still, andy, is your favorite friend, steve Allen 28, 28 this week.
Speaker 2:Okay, he's gonna fucking bite the floor with you this season asking my last season when dipshit? So he's gonna fucking bite the floor, and he was two mugs this time this is why did you do something like that?
Speaker 1:I want to do what I want.
Speaker 3:I tell you what Bill Bill Bowbag is dropping down a league. What's Billy doing?
Speaker 1:oh, don't, even he's making a lot of decisions he did check it out what do you do?
Speaker 2:I fucking remember, oh yeah he pulled the call and he did.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'm a total of the bench with six pointer oh yeah, no, dad wanted to see how many red cards you could get in one team he's in one season didn't have to the other game week and then you see it like when we're in the chat afterwards he's like oh, you don't, you got a yellow card.
Speaker 1:I know dad yeah, he should have had two red cards in fact. So, speaking of dad, let's run through the Adams family league. So we've got in last place. I'm still there with 31 points in the game week for 586, then a measly eight points ahead. Andy, you got 21 in the game week for 594 the bad way. Then dad got 18 in the game week for 596. Let's just have a quick run through that. Flecken Engel zero points. Cash zero points. Romero minus four. Simicast one, bowen seven, madison one and Buomo five. Salah I won the Alvarez and Highland all got two not good week.
Speaker 3:Rough, it was a bad way. I think the average was 28 this week, though right, it's probably the lowest average of us after that Noah.
Speaker 1:So my eldest got 35 in the game week for 625. It's the highest scoring in the week. What did he pick to get that he has?
Speaker 3:weird, oh yeah.
Speaker 1:Fernandez Fernandez and Bruno got eight points and Antonio. Weirdly, then we have dog lover, my middle son, for 31 points in the game week at 647, and then Dom you only eight points ahead now. Your gamble, your mass gamble, didn't pay off. You had 22 in the game was 655.
Speaker 3:I can almost guarantee that that gamble is never gonna pay off.
Speaker 1:So I'm gonna say Jesus Christ has paid off already, so it's fine yeah, it was three transfers a doggy for minus four, palmer got 12, matoma got six, but you had instead McGuire for seven, mactomany for three and Bowen for seven. So it wasn't unreasonable. Without the cost of the transfers it would have been a net benefit. But the problem was you took eight points to get there and tell you that's that, that's the immersion.
Speaker 1:Gonna pick Andy up off the floor once I fucking shag him and make Tom any that's the bubble come from Andy, so to talk about teams very quickly before we finish off, then, dom, what changes you made?
Speaker 2:I made the live change on the part of Sam Johnston's, now my first string keeper. Okay, I'm backing it up with cash trippy and has it in defense. Make Tom Bowen, gordon, salah in the field and Alvarez blockings. How I, how and in the front and on my bench, maddo Snickass and Saliba.
Speaker 1:Andy, you made the change of bringing Dallow in any other changes no, just Vanda Vem for Dalla okay and for me, I've not made the change yet.
Speaker 1:I'm still sitting on it at the moment. My team is Ariola, gabrielle, simicast, trippier, salah, matoma, ward-praes, madison with Watkins, alvarez and Harlan promise. My entire bench is red, which is not good, so I'll probably have to make a transfer because I can't guarantee Simicast is gonna get minutes, so I need someone to be able to step in. All right, that is us. Good luck and we'll see you on the other side.
