Transcript

Dan (00:05.735)
Hello and welcome to RedRedBlue, I'm Dan Adams.

Diaz nuts (00:09.349)
I am Dominic Adams.

Andy (00:11.239)
I am top of the league.

Dan (00:13.679)
known as Andy Adams. So it is the calm before the storm we're in game week 24 looking towards the double game week that is 25. We're gonna talk about the positioning ourselves for the right moves into that game week as we look ahead but before we do we're gonna run through the games for this week highlighting any players we think can help you and we'll see how the leagues are shaping up Andy's already giving away a massive spoiler there but you know we'll finish off with transfer talk afterwards because there probably is some interesting moves that people have to make now thinking about

what they're doing going into 25. But for 24, we kick off on Saturday at lunchtime, Man City versus Everton. And it's probably a very good one to start off with because what are you doing to get yourself in the right position for 25? I'm assuming you're on the same train as the rest of the internet where you need three Man City assets for 25.

Andy (01:06.078)
Yes, I am on that train, but I'm already on that train. I'm on board the train, choo-choo already, like I have been for like a couple of weeks. But I think, I think the three are kind of obvious as well. I think it's Fode and Howland and King. Who has anyone other than that three?

Diaz nuts (01:08.899)
Yeah

Diaz nuts (01:22.786)
Unfortunately me. Now Walker.

Dan (01:24.284)
Alvarez.

Andy (01:24.734)
Hmm.

Dan (01:27.279)
I've been to him this week, he's gone. It did not pan out well at all. Big sad walk.

Andy (01:28.883)
Oh, big car walker, that didn't pan out well.

Diaz nuts (01:33.635)
It's not his fault that he cheated on his wife and got caught out in the paper and then Neil Malpay said some unsavoury things about his kids to him on the pitch.

Dan (01:43.955)
To be fair, in that game he did thunder-cut a shot like it was just Falken was on his absolute best game of his life. Did you see that? They made 8 saves, the most saves of a Premier League player in one half.

Andy (01:55.116)
Yeah.

Diaz nuts (01:56.002)
It doesn't help that Neil Malpa is an absolute shithouse.

Dan (01:58.619)
He's the best. I hate him.

Andy (02:01.225)
He's gotta be careful. Like Jamie Vade says, chat shit, get banged.

Dan (02:06.531)
Apparently they were lip reading it and he walked around with the ref and went, ref he's talking about my kids ref he's talking about my kids and the ref's like what do you want me to do back? Yeah I can't card it for talking about your kids mate what do you want me to do? Yeah

Andy (02:17.278)
Like what does he want him to do? Like tell him off.

Andy (02:23.882)
Yeah. Turns out all he has to do is remind Neil Maupay that like he plays for, um, terrible team. And the other one, let's just recently won the champions league.

Dan (02:34.835)
Or do the classic, who the fuck was it last week? Was it Mado? He's not scored enough goals to have his own celebration. I did notice he didn't do any celebrations this week. He was very reserved. So two things for me about that. Yeah, obviously it feels like the three are obvious. It's going to be Foden, De Bruyne and Haaland, but we can talk about Haaland in a minute. The other thing for me is once again, Man City ship a stupid fucking goal. And it feels like

Diaz nuts (02:37.908)
Maddow.

Andy (02:47.626)
Yeah.

Diaz nuts (03:03.778)
I did say it happened.

Dan (03:05.883)
Well why have we got city defenders Dom? Me and you, why have we got a city, or had a city defender then?

Diaz nuts (03:12.385)
Why then, why do we have C defenders?

Dan (03:15.567)
And I won't do it again, because it is a complete trap.

Diaz nuts (03:20.77)
Complete trap just like I didn't like but it's a trap

Andy (03:26.668)
Fool me several times.

Dan (03:29.264)
Damn you, Kyle Walker, you mon Calamari. Fool me six times. Well, no, I think it was three games. I had him in the end.

Diaz nuts (03:35.906)
You know what you should do Dan, you should say something nasty about his kids.

Dan (03:38.831)
Oh, ref, he's talking about my kids man! Um... So yeah, let's talk about Halon then. He got the assist, so got some points on the board. Doesn't feel like he's worth what he's billed at, and I kinda don't like having to pay for him, but I don't want to be left behind if he did do something.

Diaz nuts (03:44.262)
OOF

Diaz nuts (04:04.066)
Yeah, he's gonna do something. But it's like inevitable really, cause he's been away for like six, seven game weeks. So you can't expect him to come on straight back onto the boil. I mean, first game, first proper game back, he's got an assist. You can't be too disappointed, right? Or you can. I didn't watch him, no. I heard that you missed an absolute setter, but.

Dan (04:21.759)
Did you watch that video?

Dan (04:29.083)
He missed an absolute setter, no actually to be fair another great save by Flecken again with his very outstretched foot. But he's not in his usual places, teams are double marking him now which you did see in that match a lot. I don't know if he's going to get the same opportunities, it feels like he's had his kind of great year where no one, he was an unknown quantity. And now people have got the measure of it like well fuck we're going to put two boys on him, don't let him loose at all.

And it means there's more opportunities for people like Foden and De Bruyne where they're going to have more space.

Andy (05:00.694)
Yeah, I think that I wasn't excited. I watched the game, not excited about how he's been playing since he came back. He looks a little bit off the pace. He doesn't look like he's bullying anyone like he was before either. Like he was losing balls to like small defenders. Like, I don't know what was going on. Cause like, that was his trademark, right? Like earlier in the season was like him sort of like shoulder to shoulder and like knocking people over and taking the ball past them. He looked totally off.

Dan (05:32.615)
With that said, I'm assuming you're gonna both have him in your team, because again, it's that four of them that's not right.

Diaz nuts (05:37.298)
Mm-hmm. You got the FOMO if you don't got them.

Andy (05:41.622)
He's the sense of already placed with the best team in the league. So like, you can't really not.

Dan (05:45.687)
Yeah. Okay, let's move on. So the next match would have been Fulham versus Bournemouth. Don't feel we need to talk about that except for Salanki. Andy, you had some comments.

Andy (05:55.242)
Yeah, I've been them for surprise. As I went back to Cunha after his hat trick this week, because I was sort of comparing him and Salanki and I think I made a mistake in transferring out Salanki and not, sorry, transferring out Cunha and not Salanki. Like that was the mistake this week. If I'd held Cunha, it would have been an amazing week. Yeah. So I looked at, um,

Diaz nuts (05:57.813)
EEEH

Dan (06:15.592)
Oh and stuff over two hat tricks in one week.

Andy (06:20.554)
his points like over the last few weeks on Salahanki's points. And you can argue that, you know, while he's still like a really decent top five striker on total points over the last few weeks, he looks a little bit off the boil.

Dan (06:35.374)
Hmm. Is he in your team Dom, I forget.

Diaz nuts (06:37.418)
Yeah, he's in my team. I can agree with the fact that he's maybe not as on form as he was at the start of the season, but still he's probably the best in form for that price range other than Ivan.

Andy (06:57.09)
CUNY, CUNY is bad.

Diaz nuts (06:58.838)
Yeah, I'm kidding, yeah. But I don't know how long we'll last being doing what they're doing.

Andy (07:03.822)
Well, did you not look at like the fixtures though? Like that was the other thing that sold me is that Solanki has Newcastle Away and City coming up in the next three.

Diaz nuts (07:16.09)
I don't know, it's lanky, so if you take the immediate future, very immediate future, it's not as good, but once you get to week 27, he's got greens the whole way and they double in 28.

Andy (07:27.67)
Yeah, I might bring him back. I'm not saying I'm just saying like in the short term, I would rather have Cunha whose fixtures are Brentford Spurs Sheffield United for the next three versus Salanki who has City and Newcastle. Because Spurs are still playing that suicide highline against like everybody he's gonna score.

Dan (07:46.259)
So a question then on that one is, do you feel that's set you up right for Game Week 25? Did you already have your three city players, therefore you weren't concerned or?

Diaz nuts (07:46.334)
Yeah

Andy (07:56.288)
I did.

Diaz nuts (07:58.266)
Question on Koonia. Now that South Korea got knocked out of the Asian Cup, and Hwang comes back for the Brentford game, what's going to happen? Hwang's healthy, Neto's healthy, and Koonia's healthy.

Andy (08:09.643)
I think it's okay.

Andy (08:14.186)
Yeah. I think that just really good because they probably play all three of them. Like I think he played with Wang before he left, right? And he was scoring when, when he had Wang and he was scoring when he didn't have Wang. Yeah. Neto is a wild card, but I don't, I think that if I'm wolves, then I just play all three of them, right? Like they, they're the three best players on the team.

Dan (08:27.024)
Played with his wang before he left. Good to know.

Dan (08:39.751)
Yeah, don't think you can afford not to, to be fair. Okay.

Andy (08:43.254)
I think that Serabia is pretty decent as well, actually, thinking about like other people. He seems to do a lot. Wouldn't have a moment. Yeah, he gets the pens exactly, which is kind of a pain if you're, although Kunior got a pen in the last game, right, to get his hat trick.

Diaz nuts (08:49.25)
He gets the pens.

Dan (08:49.347)
No, fool.

Dan (08:59.571)
So the next game is Liverpool versus Burnley. Obviously we don't need to talk about Burnley, but we do need to talk about Liverpool. I saw an interesting stat. Liverpool's games that they've lost have only ever come when they don't have Darwin Nunes on the pitch, apparently. He's talismanic. Like he is essential for their victory.

Diaz nuts (09:18.146)
He's manic, maybe. That's better.

Andy (09:20.13)
Yeah.

Dan (09:22.643)
So Salah's not back for at least another three, four weeks, is it? I think he's.

Andy (09:26.794)
I think it's a couple weeks at least. That was what I heard when I was reading Klopp's comments. It's like he's out for another two or three weeks.

Dan (09:33.907)
So are you taking any Liverpool players?

Andy (09:37.488)
I have Jota still and I'm gonna keep him.

Diaz nuts (09:41.922)
good show. I wish I could have got to Jota, I wish I could have got to Foden. There's lots of wishes on my list, but I think I'll hold out for Salah when he comes back.

Dan (09:55.259)
And how are you, I guess we can talk about that at the end when we talk about our teams, but that's something I'm now wondering is how am I going to get to Salah with having had to get to Haaland first effectively. It's going to decimate in midfield.

Diaz nuts (10:08.506)
Pretty much, yeah. I think it's going to be Saka that gets sacrificed and I'll probably have to sacrifice Tony as well. Although, it depends on Hound over the next two, three games. If he doesn't, as you say, if he doesn't come back and do what he did before, then there's no point in wasting 14 mil up front.

Dan (10:28.191)
But then you're going to be living with that constant fear, as Andy said, of the best striker on the best team. Every week you'll be like, please don't be the boy this week.

Diaz nuts (10:35.146)
You gotta... You gotta speculate to accumulate. In my mind.

Andy (10:41.322)
I think the worry I have, by the way, I'm not panicking about rushing back into salad because he has a hamstring injury and he's a speed player. Like, I think he's like a huge risk now because he's getting older. His literal game is pace and he has a hamstring injury.

Dan (11:01.151)
Okay, the next game would have been Luton versus Sheffield United or Free Points United if we decided to nickname them. Oh, Dom.

Diaz nuts (11:12.634)
My transfer this week. I've brought in my first Luton player.

Andy (11:18.242)
Kalamalask. Oh yeah, Alfie D'Auzzi. Yeah, he's not bad.

Diaz nuts (11:20.05)
No, Mr. Doaty.

Diaz nuts (11:25.978)
because Luton have a double in 25 and a double in 28.

Dan (11:26.023)
Is that a?

Dan (11:33.941)
Okay. But we talked about this last week. The reason why they have doubles is because they're playing very hard teams that had to skip FA Cup weeks, right?

Diaz nuts (11:40.666)
So, Luton have played Newcastle and Chelsea and Brighton in the past six games and Alfie's points have gone. Do you want it from old to new or new to old?

Dan (11:53.13)
Just give me an average of the three.

Diaz nuts (11:55.546)
So, 979563. He's a defender.

Andy (11:59.518)
Yeah, I think they've been good. I would probably, the only caveat I would put in is that they have a blank in 26.

Diaz nuts (12:07.826)
Yeah, there's that. But their 28 double is Pallis and Bournemouth.

Dan (12:10.365)
Are you not?

That's not bad. I'd say you're not concerned that you mentioned Newcastle, Chelsea and who is the third one? Brighton. All teams that have had terrible runs of form as of recent and have fallen massively out of favor. There's an interesting comment on the FA Cup thread actually about the Chelsea match saying, have we not had enough time now that this isn't a blip, this is what Chelsea are and where they should be in terms of where their lead position is?

Diaz nuts (12:19.694)
right?

Diaz nuts (12:24.555)
Abbott.

Diaz nuts (12:39.638)
I guess we find out today against Aston Villa, but with regards to the good teams that Luton are playing coming up, Man U is one of them. I would not put them in the good team category or not someone that Luton could beat with regards to if they can beat Newcastle and Chelsea and Brighton. Liverpool possibly, but then again, it depends who they put out and who's injured and who's not injured.

Dan (13:05.523)
That's a United sixth in the league, by the way, just throwing that out there, you know.

Andy (13:09.17)
Yeah, I think I would be careful. Like that game with 25 double is useless and I'm not going to play it because I have Bell. I'm not going to play Bell with it being United Liverpool in 25.

Diaz nuts (13:21.218)
You don't think Luton could score against those two teams?

Andy (13:23.946)
I think they could, but I don't think Belle or Doughtier most likely to be the player that does it.

Diaz nuts (13:28.774)
Well, Davide, he's got an assist, four assists in the past four games.

Andy (13:34.154)
Yeah, they batz-ed Brighton, which was a fluke. They drew one-

Diaz nuts (13:38.126)
They got four goals against Newcastle. They got two goals against Chelsea.

Andy (13:43.582)
and won against Burnley.

Diaz nuts (13:47.466)
The big average.

Andy (13:47.498)
And the other match against Newcastle, they lost 1-0 at home. Oh, sorry, they won 1-0. Yeah, no, you're right. And then they lost to City, lost to Arsenal, lost to United 1-0 already this season.

Dan (13:47.597)
Okay.

Diaz nuts (13:52.342)
Got the one now.

Dan (13:56.319)
I think it's...

Diaz nuts (14:01.818)
How much goals did they score when they played against Arsenal though? They scored three goals against Arsenal, they scored against City, they scored against Brentford. They score.

Andy (14:11.958)
Go for it. I'm not gonna be doing that.

Dan (14:12.191)
Okay. Obviously, it's fair to say that is an extreme differential.

Diaz nuts (14:19.445)
I don't even know if it's extreme because he price rose this morning because everyone's picking him for the doubles

Andy (14:24.622)
know that you're going to get many people bringing them in. It might price rise because like a few people are, but like, to be honest, if I, like, although the only argument in favor for me that would make me consider it, I'm not going to, because I already used my transfer this week. So I might do it next week if I end up doing it. But, um, I think that defenders are shit across the board. So like, I'm not against like taking a punt on a defender because all the ones, like, saliva, total waste of space.

Dan (14:45.203)
Yes.

Andy (14:53.874)
Absolute abject waste of space.

Dan (14:56.731)
What about Gabrielle? Fucking own gold merchant? That was wonderful.

Andy (15:00.702)
Yeah. So I do agree that like probably the cheap defense, like Trippier plus like a couple of randos is probably like the best defensive, um, if he's back on, he's back on form, we can't, he's had two games in a row where he got an assist now and a goal and the other one, like he's probably doing bits again.

Diaz nuts (15:12.026)
Fuck it, Trippie.

Dan (15:13.311)
Hope you do.

Dan (15:22.195)
Hmm still ship four goals diluting as well

Diaz nuts (15:22.49)
It's a little thick.

Andy (15:24.042)
He's still a dick. I mean, yeah. I mean, to be fair, like the only reason I'm saying shout in trippieres is next two games of forest and then bowling with.

Dan (15:33.346)
Okay.

Diaz nuts (15:35.63)
But on Alfie, 5.4% selected by.

Andy (15:41.358)
How much does he cost?

Dan (15:41.703)
What's this price?

Diaz nuts (15:43.278)
4.5. Oh, well now he's 4.6 because he price rose.

Andy (15:47.466)
I might bring him in next week, we'll see. Yeah, this week I'm happy with my defense, so probably not gonna burn a minus four on Alfie Doughty. Ha ha.

Dan (15:49.471)
costly.

Dan (15:55.535)
And that was the point I was going to end on was you mentioned about defense being shit and taking a punt on cheap defenders is fine, but it's having the spare or prioritizing the transfer to get to that point, I guess, is an issue.

Andy (16:09.822)
Yeah, I think it's more like if you're wild carding, that would be my strategy would be incredibly cheap defense. Um, and then spend the money on midfield and strikers.

Dan (16:21.867)
Okay. Spurs vs Brighton, that's an exciting one to talk about. Will Sun be back by then?

Diaz nuts (16:25.966)
Hmm.

Andy (16:26.002)
Logo. The logo.

Diaz nuts (16:29.523)
her yeah yes.

Dan (16:31.5)
Mmmm

Diaz nuts (16:35.074)
He will be back, whether he will be picked or not, I guess, with regards to form and like being with the team, probably would suspect not, maybe makes a sub appearance.

Dan (16:50.407)
Do you guys have any Spurs players left in your teams?

Andy (16:53.326)
too.

Dan (16:55.259)
Defense.

Diaz nuts (16:56.339)
raise you with a three.

Andy (16:59.498)
I've got Paro and Van the Ven.

Diaz nuts (17:01.93)
I got the Cario, Poro and Richaul at that.

Andy (17:07.095)
Hmm.

Dan (17:08.549)
Are you happy with the whole house place?

Andy (17:10.454)
You know, the frustrating thing is like Van de Ven, actually, if you watch him play, like, he's like really good. Like he's super fast. Like his saving tackles because of how terrible the line they play is like critical to them not losing games. But he's never going to keep a clean sheet because spurs don't keep clean sheets.

Diaz nuts (17:11.079)
Uh...

Diaz nuts (17:31.036)
Yes, not anymore anyway.

Andy (17:33.322)
Yeah, not in the last like 10 games.

Dan (17:37.367)
And that was kind of the point I was getting at is the defence, you're preyed on an assist, it's like the old Trent days where you didn't pick him because he was getting clean sheets, you picked him because you were praying he got assists.

Andy (17:50.038)
think that's an okay bet with Poro though. Like I would say like on the season Poro has rewarded you like if you look at the last starting game week like starting 13 so it's 10 games 5-0 where they that was the city game where it was 0 5-5-8-2-5-2-6-1-1 so like he does assist like a lot like in those games he's had one two three four five assists

Dan (18:16.179)
But the tail end of that you mentioned was 2611 effectively. Is that them coming down?

Andy (18:23.183)
I don't know. I think that Spur... what were those games? I mean, it's not ideal. They won against Brentford and then they drew against Everton, and he got his six with an assist against United.

Dan (18:34.174)
Yeah.

Andy (18:36.13)
But they beat, they beat Bournemouth in a 3-1 in that one where he got one, where he got two points. So like, I think the problem is they just don't keep clean. So if he doesn't assist, then you're getting two points at best.

Dan (18:49.019)
And what about on the other side then, Brighton? How are you feeling about Brighton?

Andy (18:52.426)
Don't have anyone not interested.

Dan (18:55.411)
You have gross things though.

Diaz nuts (18:57.08)
I do have gross and he's done okay over the past six games his average what is form right now is 5.3 gay 5.3 points per match

Dan (19:08.959)
That's not terrible.

Diaz nuts (19:10.414)
So, no, it's not terrible and the fixtures that Brighton got coming up is not too bad either because after Spurs it goes Sheffield, Knighthead, Everton, Fulham, Forest. So I'm happy with Gross, not so happy with Purvey. I don't know what the fuck is happening there.

Andy (19:26.562)
He's keeping the bench very warm.

Dan (19:26.616)
Yeah, I've got a stupan on as well.

Diaz nuts (19:30.359)
Yeah.

Dan (19:31.807)
confusing and the fact that he keeps coming on for little cameos which does nothing because it not only does not get clean sheet points but it means that he's just got more chance of getting a one point appearance than a goal concede it's not great

Diaz nuts (19:43.93)
pretty much.

Dan (19:47.095)
Okay. Yeah, that's what you do.

Andy (19:47.202)
Yeah, I think you want to get rid of him. Like, if I had him, I would be trying to get rid of him.

Dan (19:51.895)
I agree.

Um, Walls versus Brentford is the last of the three o'clock games. We spoke a bit about Cunha. Um, Dom, do you want to chat a bit about Tony? You still got them right?

Diaz nuts (20:07.186)
Assel Gormier. I mean, he scored two games out of three. I'm going to stick with him for a little bit more before I consider dropping him, especially since he doubles in 25, even if it is Liverpool and City. We've just mentioned the fact that City ship goals every time and Liverpool also couldn't keep a clean sheet to save a life.

Dan (20:28.723)
Fair enough.

So all we're saying in that one is the strikers only ignore the rest of the teams.

Andy (20:35.79)
I think you could have Neto if you want. Neto looks like he's back.

Diaz nuts (20:36.142)
Pre-b-

Diaz nuts (20:40.042)
Yeah, Neto and Kunya and depends on what happens with wearing.

Dan (20:43.304)
What is-

Dan (20:49.075)
Pedro Neto, Walsman Field, 5.7 million. That's not bad. That's almost an enabler. If you transfer, turn like a sucker into a Neto.

Diaz nuts (20:57.502)
he plays up front, so it's just 10 times better as well.

Dan (21:03.859)
That's a good way of getting points back.

Diaz nuts (21:04.512)
I cannot hear you.

Andy (21:04.722)
I was on mute. I was insulting Dan about like, yeah, that's why I said that's why I said that you dipshit like I'm not like throwing out like random ideas like yeah, I think he's a really good player and he's super he is like the true differential because he's super cheap as well.

Dan (21:08.815)
It's nice to put the mic off for that though.

Dan (21:21.543)
But I mean in terms of if we're talking about getting to salar at some point, 5.7 net worth versus 9 million sacco is a great way of getting three, four millions worth of cash.

Andy (21:26.253)
Yeah.

Andy (21:31.21)
Yeah, for me, like, Fat Jared might turn into Neto next week.

Diaz nuts (21:35.755)
You say Saka though, don't you? But Saka's last four games is...

Dan (21:38.735)
I know he's had amazing, but he has, yeah, he has. And that's a great, great conversation to have. This sack has had amazing run of form. He's 9 million pounds. I don't really have any other way of getting to the salad without butchering the rest of my midfield. You know, you've got the Brian, you've got Foden. Well, if you've got the Brian, you've got food and you've got Saka. Like how are you affording to get to Sala as well?

Andy (21:52.856)
He's got no-

Andy (22:00.642)
Do you need to get to salad?

Diaz nuts (22:01.135)
You can.

Dan (22:03.751)
Don't know, it feels like you probably do. They're the second best team in the league and he's their main scorer.

Andy (22:08.722)
I would give it a week, see how he comes back. You might get hollered at again.

Dan (22:14.868)
Hmm.

Andy (22:15.466)
I think Neto, to be fair, like if you've got Jared Bowen, he should be Neto. Because for me, the last two games, Bowen's been on the bench. Like, why am I having a seven million player on the bench?

Dan (22:25.559)
Yeah, it's frustrating.

Diaz nuts (22:27.35)
As soon as her child goes cold, I'll swap him into Neto.

Andy (22:32.318)
Yeah, I think the problem is that fixtures are like not, they don't have any doubles. And they're good for the next three, but then they have like Newcastle and then it's good. So basically they go Brentford Spurs, Sheffield United, which are all three like good fixtures for attacking players.

Then they have Newcastle, which is away, which is not great. Then Full and Bournemouth, both at home, amazing, amazing. And then Villa. So it's like kind of mixed. So like, I think it's probably okay to have them, but it's not doubles in a, in a couple of weeks where other people do have doubles.

Dan (22:59.337)
Probably worth running into, yeah.

Dan (23:04.264)
Hmm.

Dan (23:08.897)
Last match on Saturday is Nottingham Forest vs Newcastle. This is the same Nottingham Forest which, just going to go double check but I believe we're drawing 1-1 with the championship side.

Andy (23:19.202)
Great. Good job by then.

Dan (23:21.543)
Forest versus Priscilla. Goes to extra time, in fact, so they're still drawing 1-1.

Diaz nuts (23:21.923)
Yes, sir.

Andy (23:25.59)
Which is the worst for the league, because now all the players are getting tired.

Dan (23:28.467)
Yep.

Diaz nuts (23:31.403)
Yep.

Dan (23:32.467)
So not on Forest, we're not talking about their players. But on the new cost side, we mentioned Trippier. 4-4 draw with Luton. Is there anyone else that you'd be interested in? Do you think someone like Amily could be a possible enabler? Super cheap. Definitely get a minute.

Andy (23:36.174)
because of poo.

Andy (23:47.455)
No.

Diaz nuts (23:48.094)
I think Harvey Barnes will be a start of a show now that Gordon's dead.

Andy (23:55.338)
Maybe. I think Harvey Barnes has always been good for fantasy, but the problem is he's like super inconsistent. He gets injured all the time.

Dan (24:02.523)
6.2 million as well. It's not that cheap in terms of enabling.

Andy (24:05.334)
He's not Pedro Neto, who I'd rather have over Harvey Barnes.

Diaz nuts (24:09.966)
Hmm, I don't know.

Andy (24:12.298)
I mean, I would take a bet right now that over the next three games that Neto outscores Bonds.

Diaz nuts (24:17.058)
I'll take that back.

Andy (24:18.283)
All right, deal.

Dan (24:21.067)
One day, one day we'll look back on these podcasts and we'll say how many bests we make? Who is who? What money? It'd be really interesting to find out what the final accounts are.

Andy (24:29.314)
Petro netto is good. Javi Bonds is sporadically good.

Dan (24:35.281)
Moving on to Sunday then. First game.

Andy (24:37.078)
But you're not having Wilson, right? Is Wilson back or is he still injured?

Diaz nuts (24:40.951)
Ehhhh... pass.

Andy (24:44.25)
Isaac is healthy, maybe?

Dan (24:46.919)
Wilson is healthy according to that Isaac is healthy is flagged. So Isaac's flagged, Wilson's. But to answer your question though, no, I don't want anything because they have to compete in the same slots as people like Kunio Watkins, Tony Harland is already jam packed with better players that I wouldn't want to dip into Newcastle for.

Andy (24:52.266)
Easy other slides, groin injury.

Diaz nuts (25:09.85)
fucking jam-packed and the although going back to forest I won ye is back

Dan (25:12.763)
Well...

Dan (25:17.795)
Again, does he, does he get into the upper echelon of strikers? No, it's not getting through the door.

Andy (25:18.078)
Mm.

Andy (25:21.398)
He's not even in the mix, Dom, he's not in the mixer.

Diaz nuts (25:26.461)
Don't put shade on that man's name.

Dan (25:28.487)
He's watching through the window.

Andy (25:28.69)
You know who we'll get to him in a minute, but talking about, um, Newcastle, Dubravka is like pissing me off. I feel like I have to get rid of them.

Dan (25:37.435)
Yeah, use chip. It is a fucking disaster. It's like, oh, Newcastle vs. Luton, great, I'll put the Bravacor in, it'll probably get it clean, maybe chip 1 it'll be fine. Fucking four goals, go flying past him. God's sake.

Andy (25:50.55)
You know who has more points than Debravka? Oh nah nah. You know who has more points than- Yeah, you know who has more points than Arreola? Oh nah nah.

Diaz nuts (25:54.087)
Oh my god.

Dan (26:00.303)
I don't think I'm gonna switch to Onana but I do wonder about my Gorgipa choices and I do look forward to when I play my wild card being able to swap them because they don't feel good right now.

Andy (26:10.322)
Onana is the number three goalkeeper by total points.

Diaz nuts (26:13.526)
I don't know, I don't know how, you know that saying about a broken clock being right twice a day? How the fuck is this broken clock right so many times?

Dan (26:22.897)
What on earth do you mean?

Diaz nuts (26:24.152)
Yeah.

Andy (26:25.794)
He's, you know, he played a blind it to be fair. Some of the saves he made in this week's game, we'll get to it in a bit. But like this was actually the best game I've seen him play so far. Some of the reaction saves are amazing.

Dan (26:33.404)
Mm-hmm.

Dan (26:37.267)
and then Kobe, but anyway. The next game is West Ham versus Arsenal. So West Ham talk about Bowen and his giant knees. Yeah, he's useless, honestly.

Andy (26:47.078)
I don't want to. I just want to get rid of him. Him and Arreola, I want them both out of my team. They can just both sod off.

Dan (26:55.827)
I would go as far as to say I don't think I want any West having my team anymore at all.

Andy (27:00.778)
Maybe kudos, he is still like a sneaky pick, because he's still doing bits every now and again.

Dan (27:05.535)
Kudos is 6.8. He's even more expensive than the other one we said was too expensive a minute ago

Andy (27:11.026)
83 total points though, which is pretty decent. He's like in the top 10.

Dan (27:16.371)
But when were those points, let me have a look, when were those points from? Yeah, not recently.

Andy (27:20.798)
I mean, he has more points than Bruno Fernandes, Kulishevsky.

Dan (27:25.283)
He's misleading. He's had three games where you got 16, 10 and 11, then two games where you got nine and nine and after that it is, to quote you Andy, sporadic at best.

Andy (27:36.714)
You know who I do want? We'll get there in a minute, actually. I'm not going to spoil it. But-

Diaz nuts (27:40.334)
It's gonna be fucking highland. Oh, go on that, Joe. I know it.

Andy (27:44.391)
going to be rather violent. I'm and I'm seriously potentially going to take a hit to bring him in. Just because I can feel it. I can feel it in my plums. Can feel it in my plums. I'm potentially thinking of dropping Holland for Holland.

Dan (27:49.531)
I wouldn't take a hit. I wouldn't take a hit against filler. That seems like a bad move.

Dan (27:59.995)
You do it, Andy. You do it. I believe in you. Go for it.

Andy (28:05.014)
I don't have to listen to you fuckheads on top of the league.

Diaz nuts (28:08.382)
Yep, I was there one time Andy and I just kept taking hits for stupid moves and see what happens.

Dan (28:16.051)
Can I see the cautionary tale that is Dom's existence? You're not looking into that dark mirror and thinking, no, I don't want to be that man.

Andy (28:16.139)
We'll see.

Andy (28:22.282)
I think it's going to be a 1-1 game by the way though. So I'm like, I think I have Celeba on the bench right now in my team selection.

Diaz nuts (28:30.018)
Oh, we're back to the London Derby. Yep.

Andy (28:31.658)
the actual game, the best-selling arsenal game is.

Dan (28:31.839)
actual game number two. Yeah the one we're actually talking about yeah. I have Saliba and Gabriel both on the pitch.

Diaz nuts (28:35.834)
It's a London Diaby, innit?

Andy (28:41.)
I don't want that. I think West Ham are going to score.

Dan (28:44.787)
Can I give you some advice Andy? A wise man once told me, if you paid the money for them you should put them on the pitch. That's what I heard. Ha ha ha.

Andy (28:50.186)
I don't think that's true of Arsenal defenders.

Diaz nuts (28:53.651)
It isn't, it really isn't.

Dan (28:56.335)
Well, it is true when he was a child.

Andy (28:56.51)
I think the saying is if you've got Arsenal defenders, why?

Dan (29:02.888)
Bigger priorities? I had Kyle Walker, that was a bigger priority.

Andy (29:06.309)
Oh, f-

Andy (29:09.758)
Yeah, to be fair, you made other horrific choices that were worse than that choice. Yeah.

Dan (29:14.984)
What can I say? Arsenal players though, so obviously we talked about Saka who is doing well consistently. What about Martinelli? What about Trossard? What about Jesus? Any other players getting into your team?

Andy (29:22.282)
Yeah, claim.

Diaz nuts (29:31.182)
Fuck no.

Andy (29:31.277)
No. I don't even have Saku anymore.

Diaz nuts (29:34.89)
You don't have psych-reason for it Mandy? You missing it?

Andy (29:38.195)
I haven't had sake for a while. I rely on Big Phil Foden because I got big brain.

Diaz nuts (29:43.702)
Ah, fuck Philphone.

Dan (29:45.571)
I got both.

Diaz nuts (29:47.458)
He's the only reason you're fucking locked out this week. Fucking full phone.

Andy (29:51.786)
It was so good. Like, it's like, I was sitting on the couch watching it with Logan. And then, like, he scores, I was like, fuck yeah, Phil Foden! And then again, and then again. And Holland did nothing except an assist. It was literally, for me, like, differential-wise in the league, the best way that game could have gone.

Dan (29:53.119)
That was really good.

Dan (30:02.275)
It was pretty good.

Dan (30:10.751)
To be fair, we got the assist over your Salanki nuttin'.

Andy (30:14.718)
Yeah, but I made up for it with a Phil Foden hat trick and then you idiots didn't even get a clean from Fat Kyle.

Dan (30:17.039)
I'm not fully full as well.

Dan (30:21.431)
No, that was disappointing. Like I said, he could have got the absolute hammer of a shot. That would have been awesome. But anyway, we're talking about the wrong team. So Arsenal players would say in soccer, no one else get rid of the defense. So we're really advocating for coming completely out effectively of the third best team in the league.

Andy (30:28.502)
Doesn't matter, I feel good.

Andy (30:37.111)
Yeah.

Andy (30:43.266)
Uh, right now, it's not forever, but like, I think they're not, do they have any doubles coming up Arsenal? Yeah. So why would you want them when you can have like city with doubles, you can have, I think United, Liverpool, there's like multiple teams with doubles that could win their doubles. I think they do.

Diaz nuts (30:48.536)
No.

Diaz nuts (30:56.596)
You know you don't have a double.

Andy (31:01.006)
Don't they? I think they do.

Diaz nuts (31:01.258)
not according to the fixture tracker.

Dan (31:02.02)
And to answer that question while you're digging into the fixtures.

Andy (31:05.946)
I thought they were still in the FA Cup, so doesn't that mean they get a double?

Diaz nuts (31:10.36)
maybe at some point, they're not confirmed.

Andy (31:13.687)
Because they won in the FA Cup game, right?

Dan (31:18.084)
Yeah. My question would be, but the third best team in the league, we just spoke about having the best striker and the best team in the league. Is it not the overall quality matters from your selection pool? Like, should you not be picking from them since the top three?

Andy (31:29.918)
You have to look at the form of the players on the team, and the only one who's in consistent form on that team is Saka.

Dan (31:38.087)
Okay. Moving on then Aston Villa versus Man Utd Aston Villa currently losing three and I think it was to Chelsea in the FA Cup and it was the full teams.

Dan (31:51.043)
Not known forests in bristol has just gone to penalties, that's fun. Uh, yeah, 3-1 in the end it was.

Andy (31:58.251)
Yeah.

Diaz nuts (31:58.382)
Who's going for the villa?

Dan (32:00.199)
Who scored for Villa?

Diaz nuts (32:01.338)
Don't say it's that fucking Holly Watkins, I swear to God.

Andy (32:04.514)
Drum again, I bet you drum again.

Dan (32:06.759)
That boy Olly Watkins. Moosa Diaby.

Andy (32:09.524)
Ah.

Diaz nuts (32:09.83)
Ah, that's okay.

Dan (32:12.502)
I'm sorry, the new guy's not gonna be happy.

Andy (32:14.014)
I don't think it actually matters when we f-a-cup who scores, but...

Dan (32:18.571)
So Aston Villa wise, they were for a while, I think like five, 10 weeks ago, we were touting them as being one of the better teams to pick players from. But I bet now you've probably only got one or zero players in your team from Aston Villa.

Diaz nuts (32:30.158)
there.

Andy (32:35.484)
One.

Diaz nuts (32:36.334)
I wish I had two. I only got one, but I wish I had two.

Dan (32:40.687)
Which two would you want? Who else would you want from Watkins?

Andy (32:41.162)
I'm happy with one.

Diaz nuts (32:43.546)
I haven't got Watkins, you fucking knobbit.

Dan (32:47.969)
If you got that one!

Diaz nuts (32:50.242)
I've got Alex Moreno.

Andy (32:52.446)
Oh yeah? You played him, didn't you? You played him the week you shouldn't have played him. You didn't play him the week you should have played him.

Dan (32:57.439)
I'm sorry.

Diaz nuts (32:58.834)
He came off the bench the week he shouldn't have played, because I didn't play him. And then he didn't come off the bench the week I wanted him to play.

Andy (33:09.47)
Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's like dad this week. Dad spent his worth in US. So don't worry, you're not the worst this week.

Dan (33:10.771)
So you bought him and left him on your bench.

Diaz nuts (33:10.99)
But his...

Yeah

Diaz nuts (33:18.158)
But Moreno's gone seven minus one, 14.

Dan (33:18.344)
did them.

Dan (33:22.899)
So you caught the minus one and that's it. Ha ha

Andy (33:23.118)
That's bad. Yeah, that's well played.

Diaz nuts (33:37.206)
Okay.

Andy (33:37.258)
I don't need five minutes. You know my favorite thing that I saw on, I don't know where I thought after that game. At the end of the game, you know the Man United song, like the Who the Fuck Am I in United song? The Wolf fans were singing it in like the 95th minute at the United fans. And then the video is like of them singing it and then Maynu scores and they're like, oh, that's like the best video I've seen all week. Oh, it was so good.

Dan (33:59.208)
Yeah

Andy (34:04.05)
I want like what that game that was an emotional rollercoaster to watch. Holy crap. Um, I think that Hoyland looks good so much so that I really want to be my team.

Dan (34:07.588)
Mm-hmm.

Dan (34:18.219)
is holland better than cuny, wakins or harland?

Andy (34:24.11)
Hoyland is 6.9 million and his last three games have gone 11-10-8.

Dan (34:31.363)
I stopped after I run a form, but it-

Andy (34:32.802)
It's not bad. And that's against Tottenham Wolves, West Ham and up coming up. He's got Villa Luton Fulham.

Dan (34:42.175)
but it's still, it's United. I'm a United fan. I love the fact that they're doing better now, but it just doesn't feel like it's got legs.

Andy (34:49.034)
I think if him and Garnacho keep playing well, I think United could go on like a mini run of form against the, like playing, I want attackers who are playing Tottenham at any point. So like that's one team, but also like Luton give up goals for fun.

Dan (35:03.631)
Yeah, score them as well, but...

Andy (35:06.358)
Hmm. It's not what I'm caring about when I'm getting strikers though.

Dan (35:11.359)
So I think that was the week that, I just wanna check this actually, Noah obviously has more faith in United than you do Andy.

Andy (35:19.286)
Yeah, he played Garnacho, didn't he? I don't know if I would have got Fernandez. I think Fernandez for his points is still way overpriced.

Dan (35:21.156)
and Fernandez.

Dan (35:28.223)
So you got 22 points at United in the end.

Andy (35:31.434)
Yeah, Luke Shaw is like creeping back into my consideration.

Dan (35:38.228)
I don't think it's worth it. I think you've fallen down the same hole of the paying for defenders. Don't pay for them.

Andy (35:40.055)
Take.

Andy (35:44.97)
You know what though, if you want an enabler, Garnacho versus Neto. Garnacho is 4.8 million. Whoa, that's criminal. Starting winger on a team that's now scoring goals like that is criminal.

Dan (35:52.039)
That's mad. Like he is actually, he is happily.

Dan (35:59.475)
4.8 happily be your second bench slot.

Andy (36:02.706)
Exactly. Like he comes on every now and again, like, and if they have a good fix, do you start? Like I might do that to enable a solid. Like that might be a Jared Bowen to go on that show so that I can go like one of my higher priced players to solid.

Dan (36:07.759)
Yeah. Even you guys need that dumb.

Dan (36:17.119)
Mm.

Diaz nuts (36:19.01)
Hmm

Andy (36:19.074)
Cause then I could go like, I could go Carl Palmer or I could go, who else have I got in midfield that I don't remember. I could go Jota or Palmer to Sala then if I did Bowen to Garnacho.

Dan (36:25.951)
Fucking cop-o-lma-

Andy (36:37.014)
Hmm.

Dan (36:37.535)
Mm.

Andy (36:40.418)
But there's only really two players. I think it's really for United, you should only be looking at Garnacho and Hoyland.

Diaz nuts (36:46.09)
Yeah, none of the defense, especially now not Martinez has got his knee fucked up again.

Andy (36:50.73)
Yeah, but I do think like the strikers are looking good, especially against bad teams all of a sudden.

Dan (36:56.819)
Kanache's not a striker though, he's mid, right?

Andy (36:59.39)
He's playing right wing, that's why they've been playing him.

Dan (37:02.163)
I mean, in the game. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Diaz nuts (37:02.401)
But he's on us, Med. Yeah.

Andy (37:03.598)
Mm hmm. He's in the game as a midfielder, yeah.

Dan (37:07.451)
Cool. The last game, we have a Monday night game. Unfortunately, it's Crystal Palace versus Chelsea. Dom, as our resident Crystal Palace expert, how do you feel about that one?

Andy (37:12.662)
Oh.

Diaz nuts (37:17.886)
I feel terrible, absolutely terrible that Mika Elise is now fudged.

Andy (37:24.866)
Woy played him into the ground, into his early grave.

Dan (37:24.975)
Is he injured?

Diaz nuts (37:28.788)
is out for months.

Andy (37:30.75)
Roy brought him on knowing he was injured in a meaningless like part of the game and then got him crippled for the rest of the season. How Hodgson didn't lose his job over that I'll never know.

Dan (37:31.058)
Mm, fuck.

Dan (37:41.608)
Wow.

Diaz nuts (37:43.802)
Yeah, so Palace no longer.

Dan (37:48.915)
care I won't come to you anymore about Palace and we probably don't really need to talk about Chelsea which feels like a weird thing to say but I don't think any of that really though

Diaz nuts (37:57.018)
K.O. Palmer

Andy (38:00.374)
PORMA. I'm more on PORMA. I'm not dropping PORMA anytime. 5.7 million for 112 total points and his last four games, 18-10-2-8. Yes, please. More PORMA.

Diaz nuts (38:01.57)
Yep. Still got him.

Dan (38:10.973)
Yeah.

9. All right, that is the games. That is game week 24. That will set us up then for game week 25. Andy, do you want to go through the red, blue league?

I'm gonna film myself on mute now while he fiddles around with his computer. Hahaha. Shit shit shit. Shit shit shit.

Andy (38:26.542)
Shut up. Shut up. I'm scrolling through the... Yeah, exactly. I was busy insulting you. Okay, yeah, Red Road Blue League. So number 10, actually, so there's two Adams in like the top 10 of the Red Road Blue League now because dad has made his way to number 10. So Colin Adams on how many points did he get this week? 53 points. 10th on 12.79. There's actually an interesting like mini gap between 10th and 11th where...

Diaz nuts (38:28.697)
I'm saying nasty things about you again.

Dan (38:49.159)
Yep.

Andy (38:56.222)
It's like dad and number nine, who's Mahakioska are both on 1279. And then there's a drop off to number 11, um, of like 20 ish points down to 1246 with, um, Eric Calvi and 11th. So maybe there's like separation starting to happen between the top 10 and everybody else.

Dan (39:15.345)
Fuck off. Trying to fucking... Was it leitmotiv style the next section?

Diaz nuts (39:21.383)
Try to make it narrative, isn't he?

Andy (39:21.614)
And I'm not trying to make it, the narrative is happening. Um, and then I'm in eighth and then Alan Sinclair in seventh. Billy had a good week, 86 points in sixth. What did Billy do? He did. He had Watkins, Foden, Richarlison in the same team as what Billy did. Um, so that was a good week.

Dan (39:23.229)
Yep.

Dan (39:42.151)
Good picks. Good idea.

Andy (39:45.302)
I mean, he, oh, and Saka as well. He missed like Harland captain was like probably the fifth or sixth best captain choice he could have had. That's probably true of most people though, went Harland or going to. Yeah. I mean, the, the challenge is like, you know, you, the people who went super risky and went like Richarlison or Foden or Watkins had like ridiculous. Like I think the person who got top points overall.

Dan (39:55.271)
It's safe though, wasn't it though?

Dan (40:08.52)
differentials.

Andy (40:10.582)
Yeah. What the hundred. Oh no. So the 142 point person, it's one of these idiots who did the triple captain thing, but he did have Watkins as a triple cap. So that was like a decent week to do it. Um, okay. Hold on. I need to get back to the league. And then fifth is kind of gun. Hobie Miller, who I think got no, Maheke Oskar got the low. No dad got the lowest points. Actually. I lie in the top 10 with 53.

Dan (40:16.767)
Uh...

Andy (40:37.186)
Toby Miller in fourth with 59, Tobias Scott in third, Aaron Mill in second, and Steve was top with 94 points. What, who did he have? I looked at his team already. Trippier. That was like the differential. Cause Gordon. Yeah. But like, I'm thinking like the ones that most people don't have is probably gross and Trippier are like the two that other people don't have.

Dan (40:45.631)
Shoo!

Diaz nuts (40:50.818)
Get Sackabotkins' phone.

Dan (41:01.059)
Alright, let's move on to the league that everyone actually cares about, the family league here. In last place, still me, 65 points in the game week for 12.44. However, in fifth is Dominik with 55 points in the game week for 12.45. A little point between us, Dom.

Diaz nuts (41:01.123)
Yes.

Andy (41:10.801)
It's too mean.

Andy (41:21.002)
You know what gets me? Like, people are probably asking the question, like, why is Andy on with these two dipshits and not with, like, the people who are in second and third?

Dan (41:28.511)
I think we in the first podcast did say that it wasn't about giving sound advice, but more about the unfolding story that is our family league. It's entertainment, Andy. It's not information, it's entertainment. Number four is my eldest was 66 points in the game week for 1250, bolstered by the United players he had.

Andy (41:37.902)
I mean, it's good that that's what we said, with how bad you two have played.

Diaz nuts (41:43.1)
Mmm.

Dan (41:52.883)
In third now is my middle son Eli who is devastated that he slipped so far down. 56 points in the game week for 1270. Then there's dad in second with 53 points in the game for 1279. And then nine points ahead is Andy with 67 in the game week for 1288.

Andy (42:12.918)
Did you tell Eli he's pulling an arsenal?

Dan (42:15.835)
He's genuinely upset. He's telling me about a team he's a to be fair to.

Diaz nuts (42:22.398)
So from top to bottom, 44 points difference.

Dan (42:25.519)
Yes, that is like a decent captain pick. Different really.

Andy (42:31.566)
It's more than a decent Captain pick.

Diaz nuts (42:32.443)
That's Phil Foden, not Skarnhatrik.

Dan (42:33.295)
Well, it's two weeks where you don't pick Hal and then you pick the right player effectively.

Andy (42:39.146)
Yeah, I mean, it's two 20 point differentials you need basically.

Dan (42:42.599)
Which happened like Steve, for example, that was a 20 point differential with Trippier.

Um, all right, Andy, what are your transfers? What are you doing to set yourself up for this one? And then internet 25.

Andy (42:55.746)
So I don't, 25, I already have three city players. Who are the other double game? It's Luton and city, is that what it is?

Diaz nuts (43:04.982)
Liverpool as well, honey

Andy (43:06.762)
Is it Liverpool? Mm-hmm. Okay. So I need to think about.

Diaz nuts (43:11.231)
Sorry, Brentford as well. Brentford Liverpool Luton City.

Andy (43:15.158)
The only, yeah, so I have Jota. The only thing I would want to think about there is like, is there some way I could squeeze in either Allison or a Liverpool defender for that double instead of the garbage that I have right now. So I need to think about that, but I already used my transfer this week. I brought Cunha in for Solanke because I was like mad about making the wrong transfer last week. And I think Cunha has like a higher ceiling than Solanke, probably the way that the teams are playing right now.

Dan (43:34.917)
medium cross.

Andy (43:40.766)
Um, so next week, probably use a transfer to bring in a Liverpool defender probably, but this week, I think, hold on, I can tell you who I'm capturing in as well this week.

Dan (43:51.175)
Ooh, is it not Highlander is what you're saying.

Andy (43:53.77)
It might not be. Um, let me see. Yeah. Holland has Everton, but like I'm contemplating captaining either Phil or Kevin instead of Holland.

Dan (43:56.927)
How long has got Everton?

Dan (44:05.523)
I always contemplate in Captain Sackra against West Ham, but... Just to try it.

Andy (44:10.518)
Doesn't feel good. Like West Ham are a better defensive team than Everton.

Dan (44:14.415)
It was, it was thinking about that differentials and being at the bottom, like, but it just, it's too much of a gift horse to look, you know, to go somewhere else.

Andy (44:23.23)
Yeah, that's the kind of thinking that gets you further in the bottom, I think, when you start reaching on differentials.

Dan (44:28.699)
Yeah. Tom.

Diaz nuts (44:32.098)
I obviously took out... Who did I take out? Jesus Christ. Slipped my mind, but I've got Alfie Doherty instead of whoever that was.

Andy (44:41.25)
very impressive.

Diaz nuts (44:47.022)
So random defender that I took out for Alphi Doherty. I'm set up with three city players going into 25. I've got Tony for additional double game week there. I would like to get in a little bit of a defender, see if Connor Bradley is starting again this week. Because his dad passed away last week. Yeah.

Dan (44:47.374)
Thanks for the job.

Dan (45:07.067)
That's that.

Diaz nuts (45:11.714)
It's worse than the Lewis DS, you know.

Andy (45:13.686)
Yeah, you don't want to play on the other floor. Somebody's acting until everyone's dead.

Dan (45:15.803)
Lucy has his dad came back.

Diaz nuts (45:20.062)
I mean, I tell you what, if Connor Bradley's dad came back, he'd have a fucking storm every week. But no, when he does come back, I might bring it him in. But other than that, the 25 doubles, I think I've got all I'm going to get for them now.

Andy (45:20.11)
There's no rescue team you can send to get dead people back in.

Dan (45:20.495)
I had a bad idea.

Dan (45:40.637)
Okay.

Andy (45:41.102)
When his dad comes back, you're going to pick him. Is that what you mean?

Diaz nuts (45:43.462)
I'm gonna fit kind of badly, is that?

Dan (45:46.661)
not the second comment.

Andy (45:48.886)
fancy people not just like schnickromancy.

Dan (45:52.059)
I uh, I binned off Fat Jarrod for trying to get the cheapest playing player I could find so I picked up United's Menu because he's 4.4.

Andy (46:02.836)
You should have gone down that trail, idiot.

Diaz nuts (46:03.274)
You didn't pick up a gun, actually. Oh, come on, for fuck's sake, man.

Dan (46:07.228)
I need that point four to get to the Brunner next week.

Andy (46:12.702)
Maynu is a horrible fantasy pick.

Dan (46:15.715)
see won't we? He's not getting in the game, he's not getting in the team anyway.

Andy (46:17.11)
That is like, like this is this is why you'll bump into the league you do stupid things like that.

Diaz nuts (46:17.53)
We'll see.

Dan (46:21.191)
He's not getting in the team and enable it so I can get money to get the brain laser.

Well, I'm, hey, I'm very proud of myself for not spending that extra transfer and buying the brain now at it and minus four points for it. You know, that's, that's progress. That's progress. I didn't take a hit with you.

Diaz nuts (46:35.63)
Hey, you. Listen.

Andy (46:43.822)
It's not my fault you're addicted to hits. You're literally like a crack addict with hits.

Dan (46:46.035)
I do it. I am a masochist. I just love it. Alright, that is awesome.

Diaz nuts (46:48.91)
You hurt for money, you hurt for money.

Andy (46:57.686)
Yep, when's the fixtures next week? So when are we putting again? Is it irregular weekend next week?

Dan (47:01.615)
We've got Monday game through to game week 25 is a Saturday game.

Diaz nuts (47:02.06)
Monday game

Diaz nuts (47:06.815)
and study.

Andy (47:11.759)
So we'll pod probably on Tuesday then, and then try and get it out on the Wednesday. All right, sounds good. All right, that's stopped. I don't know why it's still so stopping. It's.

Dan (47:16.841)
Sounds good.

Diaz nuts (47:21.452)
Ugh.

Dan (47:22.267)
Right.
