Hello and welcome to Red Red Blue. I'm Dan Adams.
Speaker 2I'm Dominic Adams.
Speaker 3I'm Andrew Adams and I'm mobile.
Speaker 1He'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 3Oh, Palma, you're not going to mention him.
Speaker 1I 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 3I like that you picked Jackson, but carry on.
Speaker 1So 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 3First, one is.
Speaker 1Bulls versus Spurs? Who knows?
Speaker 3anymore. I feel like you're spurs assets.
Speaker 1Yeah, you feel about your spurs assets, if you have any.
Speaker 3You 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 1I 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 3Think about it though. Like if you wanted a team to play with 10 men, like Youngman Son would probably be the striking thick.
Speaker 1Off 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 3Vendor Venn.
Speaker 1Yeah, what you doing with your spurs assets.
Speaker 2I 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 1And what are you going to do, Andy, with your now decimated defense?
Speaker 3I 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 1That's a fair point. What about Sun still looking favourable?
Speaker 3I think so. I mean, the realistic way to look at it is they've lost one game all season.
Speaker 1Catastrophically.
Speaker 2But if you're going to go down to nine men, you're probably going to lose the game.
Speaker 3Yeah you're probably going to lose. Red cards are hard. Thanks, Marcus Rashford.
Speaker 1You 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 3Well, 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 1I 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 3Who else are you going to have to eat your swapping for?
Speaker 1I 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 3I 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 1Well, 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 2The 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 3I 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 1Oh, he's Spurs, isn't it?
Speaker 3Yeah, 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 1The carrier looked fucking good, though, to be fair to him, yeah, the carrier saved him.
Speaker 3Yeah, I still like Spurs. I think it's kind of early to bail on them after one loss.
Football Clubs Discussion
Speaker 1Okay, 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 3I saw that. Yeah, he's yellow flagged.
Speaker 1Not great who do you think that is?
Speaker 3He's played him injured this season so far. Right, like multiple times. He'll do it again.
Speaker 2Who do I think for Arsenal? I don't think anyone for Arsenal.
Speaker 3I mean Martin.
Speaker 2Ali's off form right, I think, ketsey, but he's also going to knock as well.
Speaker 3I 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 2Pretty much.
Speaker 1Is Jayzus injured?
Speaker 3last week.
Speaker 2I'll find out for you now.
Speaker 1He'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 3That'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 1Gabriel, who was on the bench for the Sheffield game.
Speaker 3Yeah. 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 1Is 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 3Maybe 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 2Does he play for Arsenal, andy? Is it Ben White?
Speaker 3He 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 2Oh don't you tell me you bought Maguire, or else I'm going to be fucking crazy.
Speaker 3I did do Maguire. I did do a United player, but it wasn't Maguire.
Speaker 2Fucking copy-embasted.
Speaker 1Why 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 3That 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 1Tell 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 2You're taking Sam Johnston, aren't you Highest scoring keeper?
Speaker 3No, you're not.
Speaker 2Why wouldn't you? He's a highest scoring keeper.
Speaker 1How has he achieved this?
Speaker 2How has he achieved the highest scoring keeper? Because he has one, two, three, four, five clean sheets.
Speaker 3Who did they play in the clean sheets?
Speaker 2Burnley Forest, manu, fulham and Sheffield United all shite teams.
Speaker 3Yeah, so who are they playing in the next five games? Shite, even ever.
Speaker 2Shite Evans, shitey Luton, and then Wetzbam, and then Bournemouth.
Speaker 3So he's not going to clean against Wetzbam, is he?
Speaker 2I mean it does for them.
Speaker 3They 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 2I'm going to put you there Evan won three games this season. Is that it, that's?
Speaker 3it. When were they like, were they?
Speaker 2the 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 3Okay, I don't know. I think you could make an argument to get in the way.
Speaker 2You 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 3Probably not, then he don't want any of its employees.
Speaker 2Then no you don't you don't want any of its employees. You do want San Jonston.
Speaker 3I don't think you want San Rafa.
Speaker 2If I had a transfer and I could go and get a new keeper, I probably would.
Speaker 3According to like all the things that I've done in the past three games.
Speaker 2I've got a real transfer for a new keeper.
Speaker 3Don't you have every other. I don't, I don't, I don't everyone other.
Speaker 2Yeah, 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 1It's fucking done, big Sean Johnson 4.6. It's bargain, yep, he's gonna see you now.
Speaker 3Is he like?
Speaker 2the third keeper. He's the third keeper.
Speaker 1He'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 2Yeah 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 3So 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 2Get more clean sheets. Sam Johnson has the same mouth.
Speaker 3One of them plays for a good team, the other one plays for.
Speaker 2Palace. Yeah, it's fucking more impressive that Sam Johnson's kept clean sheets in it.
Speaker 1Alright, moving on from the Johnson loving, let's go to United versus Luton. So you want?
Speaker 2to talk about the Copenhagen League. I fucking love Copenhagen.
Football Clubs
Speaker 3It 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 2Luton, luton are really bad.
Speaker 3They 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 2Watch Delot not start this weekend.
Speaker 3Now I'm better, that's why I'm gonna cry. But they don't have any left. They have to play Delot.
Speaker 1I think they're gonna be, one of the only players. Why?
Speaker 2Why he's fine, he's fine, he's fine, he's fine he played right back.
Speaker 3Yeah, they'll play Delot at left back what they have been doing.
Speaker 1So what will be one of?
Speaker 3the.
Speaker 1Delot Maguire and.
Speaker 3Evan Zinjus of. Viran.
Speaker 2It'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 3Actually it's not, it's not.
Speaker 2Are you fucking speak about forum to people at Manman? Harry Maguire got me seven points last last week.
Speaker 3I 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 2Travesty, my man Harry Maguire.
Speaker 1Big slobber to do it for you, you know he's gonna be dominating, nearly scoring.
Speaker 3Oh yeah, that that would have been good, but unfortunately for me to be ranked as number one now, but was it worth sacrificing?
Speaker 1Karl Carl Paul McCall wasода calm up there you go guys.
Speaker 3That's the last episode title.
Speaker 1Karl Palmer, karl Carracer, torpor Mito for 12 points?
Speaker 3No, because it.
Speaker 1That almost is so good. Fucking hell, I think.
Speaker 2Chelsea are back on form for the downside of their bipolar.
Speaker 1I said that last week. Can you complain?
Speaker 2No, I'm saying they're going back down again. They're on the downside of their bipolar.
Speaker 1Yeah, 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 3To 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 1But united Andy, united before we go on to the top.
Speaker 3Yeah, 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 2Mm, hmm, I'm still sticking with Victor.
Speaker 3I 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 1Like let's say that's the first game.
Speaker 3This 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 1Okay, loot inside. Obviously, no one's touching with a 10 foot barge pool.
Speaker 3What about Carlton mollusk?
Speaker 1Callum mollusk. Callum mollusk with a car, with a car.
Speaker 3Callum mollusk.
Speaker 1What I see.
Speaker 2Are you?
Speaker 1are you taking the mollusk?
Speaker 3I still have the mollusk on the bench. To be honest, if some of my players that sack is injured, it's mollusk time.
Speaker 1We go crustacean ahead time. All right, last match on Saturday is Bournemouth versus Newcastle, so I guess.
Speaker 3I would I actually look me up on perry power bet for Salanki to score me well, do.
Speaker 2Whilst 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 3What about your lens? And up front, yeah.
Speaker 2No, fuck you.
Speaker 3He is way more Brazilian than Anthony Gordon.
Speaker 2Yeah, a AG has got it all the way.
Speaker 3I don't think he does that. I think they're gonna play him on the wing.
Speaker 2They'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 1And to Nally's a criminal. Dominic Salanki. To score Anytime is 11 to 4.
Speaker 3Oh, that's not bad, I think you might eat us go.
Speaker 1Anthony Gordon's way higher up. Anthony Gordon's two to one. No one calls him a.
Speaker 3Not even his mom calls him a g.
Speaker 1Why would his mom use a cool nickname?
Speaker 3He literally still looks like he's 12.
Speaker 1He does to be fair.
Speaker 2He got a good haircut though, because he doesn't look like day tree from Coronation Street anymore.
Speaker 1You 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 3Yeah, he's gonna play for five minutes to the end of the score.
Speaker 1That's gonna prop him up in front of the goal like that's Scott Stirling to the ball. Bounce off him.
Speaker 3Well, 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 2Oh, Ben's on my boy.
Speaker 3I think it's not good for them. They need us, they need a striker for the way they play.
Speaker 1What 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 3When 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 1Did he play last week for 45 minutes last week?
Speaker 3Yeah, 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 2That's what I'm banking on.
Speaker 1Hmm, okay, so we're saying stay clear of the Newcastle team.
Speaker 3I'm shouting it right now. I think that's a bomb with win.
Speaker 1I 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 3Oh he's back.
Speaker 1Yes, it's good yet, but he will. What about those people that got trippier at, you know, six or seven million?
Speaker 3Is that still a deal? You have to play, don't you? You spent the money.
Speaker 1I have those people.
Speaker 2I got them at 6.7 and I'm still gonna play him. I should never dropped them last week.
Speaker 3Yeah, 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 1Cool. Aston Villa versus Fulham kicks off first on Sunday. That's a boring one, obviously.
Speaker 3Oh yeah, Dominic, let's hear about Villa. Now Dom Like go. Where's what happens to Ollie Watkins? Is he dead?
Speaker 2Fucking. They lose one game, andy, and then you're shitting all over them.
Speaker 3Who did they lose to Dom?
Speaker 2First.
Speaker 3Woof. That's not good, is it?
Speaker 2Wasn't pretty, wasn't pretty, but they're playing Fulham and Fulham are fucking awful.
Speaker 3Glad I brought in Douglas, louise. And then they proceeded to Gently shit the bed everywhere.
Watkins, Villa, Form, Fantasy Picks
Speaker 1That 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 3games. What's the last three games? What's he done in the last three? 2-2-11 2-2-11 against.
Speaker 1Forrest, Luton and West Ham.
Speaker 3But you were doing it in reverse. It was 11-2-2, is that right?
Speaker 1No, no, no, no. Forrest got 2, luton got 2 and West Ham got 11.
Speaker 2No last week he got 2, the week before he got 2.
Speaker 3Yeah, in terms of time, 11 was 3 weeks ago. Yeah, he's got worse. Yeah, yeah, don't like that.
Speaker 1No, no, they do not for 8.2 million, no.
Speaker 3Because Ollie Watkins historically was not a very good striker.
Speaker 2I don't know about that. He was hot last the end of the season. How many?
Speaker 3goals did he get?
Speaker 2all the way back to me that this season though. Oh no, you're fucking asking, aren't you?
Speaker 1So while you're looking that up, dom, I think obviously you keep him against 15 goals last season.
Speaker 2It's not bad.
Speaker 3It's no early, harlan, does it.
Speaker 1That's a bit harsh is anyone early Harlan?
Speaker 3I don't know. Is that even compared to like Gabriel J Zuz?
Speaker 1That's what I'm wondering. Is that third striker slot now becoming more?
Speaker 2Who's fucking nobody there.
Speaker 3It's all.
Speaker 2It's all fucking nobody to buy anymore.
Speaker 3Yeah, it's just Harlan on his own.
Speaker 2Basically. Although the five midfielders, if you actually fucking build something.
Speaker 3Yeah 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 2I 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 3You 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 2I think I'll hold on to Watkins for the next three games. They've got full of them and it spurs then Bournemouth.
Speaker 3Well, 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 2So I think when they go to City it'll probably buy by Watkins, buy by Cash.
Speaker 3Yes.
Speaker 1The 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 3Imagine you kept your team sterling down like along those lines. Imagine you've done that.
Speaker 1I've been Raheem Sterling. A couple of weeks ago it wouldn't have mattered.
Speaker 3He's had his good weeks now, don't you Bindum?
Speaker 1Yeah, but then he has his bad weeks in between. Why the fuck have I got Raheem Sterling?
Speaker 3It's like when you dip shits, you've got Cope Armor and then Bindum straight away.
Speaker 1I don't have Cope Armor, never had it was me that had fucking armor, Cope Armor, Cope Armor.
Speaker 3Tom 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 1Brighton vs Sheffield is the next game.
Speaker 2Does anyone actually have any Brighton players left?
Speaker 3They're still talking about it.
Speaker 2Yeah, it's not a bad one in the pictures they got to be fair.
Speaker 3Maybe even the missing piece all along.
Speaker 1Is he back this week, though? Because he's still he's not flagged.
Speaker 2I 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 3Because Green Sam was to move. How are you watching? Do you think I get like two assists this week now as well?
Speaker 2I'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 1What is their run looking like? They've got Sheffield Forest and then Chelsea.
Speaker 3It's not actually a bad run and their shit right now Like on form their shit.
Speaker 1Yeah, 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 3Matoma didn't do anything last week either, did he? He's not in the grade just now.
Speaker 2Last time he did, oh no.
Speaker 1Interesting 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 2Oh, there you go. Right, we played tonight against Ajax and B2-0.
Speaker 3Yeah, looks good.
Speaker 2Not Matoma Anzu Fatih and Eddingra.
Speaker 3So not Matoma.
Speaker 2And obviously not Mr.
Speaker 3It is Stupendome playing.
Speaker 2But 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 3You haven't even got him.
Speaker 2Wow, 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 3Okay, maybe it was good you got Sam Johnson, though.
Speaker 2Yes.
Speaker 1Alright, and on the other side of it, sheffield, obviously, anyway you're skipping your fantasy content.
Speaker 3Dipshit Like. Are you keeping Matoma? Why are you keeping Matoma?
Speaker 1Here'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 3Yeah, the models he always plays Well again.
Speaker 1we said the Watkins, Not address any of the flags at all and just bringing the models instead of Watkins.
Speaker 3They're Karl Palmer and Karl Palmer.
Speaker 1Karl.
Speaker 3Palmer, karl, palmer, karl and Malus Good.
Speaker 1The mispronounced team of hell. No, matoma I'm not super fussed about. I imagine he may come good.
Speaker 2I don't think he really was.
Speaker 1He's on 52 points so far.
Speaker 3And he got all of them in the first six weeks.
Speaker 1Well, 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 3Yeah, 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 1So 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 3Got big doggie in. He's going to do it this week, because last week was just one.
Speaker 2Don't sign Embuemo's. I don't think you're going to you.
Speaker 3Better have these all, point, get ready to hurt again. I'm not getting Embuemo again. I learned my lesson on Brentford.
Speaker 1It's a wise move because they're the next game against Liverpool anyway, so it's Liverpool versus Brentford.
Speaker 3You 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 1Yeah, he should.
Speaker 2Yeah, because Brentford didn't. They beat West Ham 3-2.
Speaker 1And he's gone 5-13-14 in the past three games and then 2-2-1-2 after that.
Speaker 2Fucking hell, Andy. 5-13-14. How do you miss out on that?
Speaker 3Big numbers from Big Brian Big.
Speaker 2Brian's got you inside.
Speaker 3The other Big.
Speaker 1Brian, not you, or that?
Speaker 3Big Brian.
Speaker 1No, I don't think so.
Speaker 3I don't think the same guys.
Speaker 1I 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 3It's not worth targeting loot. Neither do they don't consider what no, it loses, but they don't concede tons of goals.
Speaker 1What 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 2He's going to score this weekend. I fucking guarantee it now.
Speaker 3I don't think so. I think the pressure's off, like his dad's back.
Speaker 1That's what the negotiation was. You better score a goal, or else we'll kill your dad.
Speaker 3I think Klopp kidnapped his dad.
Speaker 1Klopp kidnapped his dad. Oh my God, what about Darwin Nunes? Then, up front, no.
Speaker 3No, nunes, no stupid mustaches or ponytails.
Speaker 2Thank you, he had nine chances. Nine chances to score that weekend.
Speaker 3Didn't they lose to Toulouse tonight? Well, yesterday.
Speaker 1Yeah, they did. Yeah, I was just looking at it.
Speaker 2They lost to Toulouse.
Speaker 1They lost three to Toulouse. It was Casares, ungol, jota for Liverpool, with the McAllister assist. So again, nothing from the big boys.
Speaker 2Hey, but Villa also played tonight. What about them? Your man, Dougie Louise, got an assist.
Speaker 3Oh, let's go.
Speaker 1Doug, that's it, he's back in business. Back on the form table.
Speaker 2What can score a goal, so you can fuck right off.
Speaker 3Okay, 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 1Jota.
Speaker 3I 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 1Now that he's back.
Speaker 3Nice.
Speaker 2Nick Assen got a fucking 20. Minute. Well, didn't he get a fucking run out?
Speaker 3Simicast got benched.
Speaker 2Yeah, I don't know. So I'm saying he got a fucking 20 minute run out at the end of the game.
Speaker 1One point cameo at the end of the game.
Speaker 3Yeah turns out they prefer playing Joe Mez out of position than playing Simicast.
Speaker 1You 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 2I know they subbed off Simicast at half time in this game, so you might be on for a start for the weekend.
Speaker 3You might be. It's not turning out, all the people who brought him in the way that they hoped, though.
Speaker 1He's not flagged, so I can't worry about him. Anyway, it's my stance.
Speaker 3Yeah, he's not broken leg, though suspended, so he's not a problem for Dan this week.
Speaker 1Exactly 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 3That's a bad game, kind of boring.
Speaker 2I got bowling, I'm happy.
Fantasy Football Strategy and Team Discussion
Speaker 1I 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 2Go for Mr Bowen. He's gone seven two.
Speaker 1I 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 2Yeah, 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 1You got it made. Dom, you got it made. You know what you're doing.
Speaker 2And Fulham after that as well. So fucking West Ham. And then Bowles after this, Burnley after the other game.
Speaker 1What 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 2I 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 3why I want Sam Johnson.
Speaker 1So, West. Ham who else?
Speaker 2Who else would you pick? Just maybe Two-check, two-check.
Speaker 3Two-check. Yeah, he's on decent form.
Speaker 1What about Kudos?
Speaker 2Oh yeah the Dutch guy.
Speaker 3Big Mohammed 1111. What's he in as of the midfielder of a forward?
Speaker 2He's in the lead for 6.5.
Speaker 3It's not bad.
Speaker 2Sneaky. Pick that one. Switch him out for the mid-jewel.
Speaker 3If Dan didn't have all of his transfers to put in cripple players, he could put him in for Matelma Kudos.
Speaker 2He could do.
Speaker 1Okay, sadly I've got other players to put up. And then up front, antonio 37 points so far.
Speaker 2Man fuck that.
Speaker 1Thank 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 2No, they still score.
Speaker 1All right, you guys are advocating, I am not. Last game on Sunday is at 430 Chelsea versus man City. Who boy?
Speaker 2Chelsea going to get fucked.
Speaker 3You reckon. No, I think that's a 2-2.
Speaker 2No 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 1You called last one, but you got the scorer wrong, didn't?
Speaker 3you, I got the scorer wrong. I think Chelsea City is a 2-2. All day long.
Speaker 1All right, Chelsea versus City. Who are you taking from either of those teams? I guess it's the better question to be asking.
Speaker 3Everyone that you have from man City are not playing Sanchez this week, because I don't think they'll keep a paint sheet.
Speaker 2Chelsea versus what about Karl Palmer?
Speaker 3Karl Palmer maybe Karl Palmer. Karl Palmer against his ex-club maybe yeah 12-1.
Speaker 12-2, Andy 12-1.
Speaker 3Oh, that's good.
Speaker 1I don't think it is. I think they're going to get butted like done.
Speaker 3I think it's good, then, karl.
Speaker 2Palmer again, they're going to get fucking butted.
Speaker 3You've got Phil Foden against the VTEC Phil Foden.
Speaker 1There'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 3that just a one-off? What?
Speaker 2is their fix-tious. If it's five, it goes bad. It's City, Newcastle, Brighton, Manu.
Speaker 3No, then it's yes.
Speaker 1I thought we were playing form-not-fixes, you just?
Speaker 2said that like 10 minutes ago.
Speaker 3They're from one game.
Speaker 1Yeah, 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 2Last time I'm keeping him.
Speaker 3I don't have a last game if you had a mojip.
Speaker 1And if you had alvarez, would you keep him?
Speaker 3no, I've been in and that's why I don't have him all right, state the obvious.
Speaker 1Try to ask a bit about a leading question fucking bind him, didn't?
Speaker 3I 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 1Okay, 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 2But 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 3who is he gonna?
Speaker 2start didn't he play in Europe first city as?
Football Fantasy League Discussion
Speaker 1long question last night though yeah they won in Europe.
Speaker 2Holland scored which was worried, he was gonna be, injured it's Tuesday.
Speaker 1They 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 3no, no, no, young boys stadium is called wank door fuck, no way it is.
Speaker 1Doku played last night.
Speaker 2Yeah, 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 3Though he's a machine, it's a little gold scoring machine. Didn't even start.
Speaker 1Comes 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 2there. 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 3I mean I think that, like defenders, this year is just super hard.
Speaker 2I 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 1no, he's coming back come back by Jesus came back oh well, not like Gabriel Jesus, but he's coming back.
Speaker 2Jesus 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 1Let'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 2Okay, 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 1I want to do what I want.
Speaker 3I tell you what Bill Bill Bowbag is dropping down a league. What's Billy doing?
Speaker 1oh, don't, even he's making a lot of decisions he did check it out what do you do?
Speaker 2I fucking remember, oh yeah he pulled the call and he did.
Speaker 3Yeah, 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 1I 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 3Rough, 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 1So 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 3weird, oh yeah.
Speaker 1Fernandez 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 3I can almost guarantee that that gamble is never gonna pay off.
Fantasy Football Team Changes and Strategies
Speaker 1So 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 1Gonna 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 2I 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 1Andy, 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 1I'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.
