GW36: A Fake Double Gameweek and a Whole Bunch of Bullshit — May 5, 2026 — starts at 0:00
Support for this podcast comes from the patrons at patreon.com slash FML FPL. Yay! We're gonna be on the lawn. So. A game this is F PL baby. It's fun game. Fun game. Always a good weekend to just find out. They have in store for us, you know? That's what we do. And shout out to our two cup finalists, uh, Jack Herring, AK Backstabini. Paul Mehanic Paul Make A C Bella Marmotta. So it'll be a two week final. Thirty six and thirty seven. Ladiadini throwback? Yeah it is. Southampton legend. I know Palms in trouble if it's a draw, but two game weeks it there's almost no way it's a draw. No. Oh god, this game fucking sucks, dude. Yeah. Should we end the part it's pretty bad. It's a pretty bad game. I have we got a lot of lifestyle questions 'cause I really don't want to talk about FPL. Yeah, I mean I'm gonna start it with the darkness, which is that for those who don't know and don't follow at home, we both captained Pole Calmer. Um Miss Pen, Zero Pointer. Probably should have had another pen on Gousto. Didn't give it, didn't look at it. Chelsea get fucking railed by a Nottingham for a C team. Uh You know. X fifty said is Paul Calmer, the worst pick of all time. Yes. Um Psychov said, Why the fuck do I have two idiots from Chelsea and captained one of them? 'Cause you're an idiot and we're idiots. Brian's saying can Walsh rename Palmer? He's no longer Palm God. He hasn't been Palm God. In a long time. Two years. Long. He was renamed last year. Yeah, last year he was just Palmer. Now he's going to whatever the opposite of a guy's now he's Paul Calmer. He you can't even say the name his parents gave him anymore. He doesn't deserve it. Whole is like more offensive than calmer. It's calm, you think like oh, he's just tranquil and calm, but no, he's a fucking equal equal parts of offense. I mean this motherfucker has single handedly really done a lot of shit to me this year. Like it feels personal, honestly. It just at this point feels personal. Chelsea's run is actually historic. Like they've scored one goal in six games and they've lost all six. And the one goal was a bicycle kick in garbage time. Um We captained Palmer in the double. He didn't play the second game and then we went right back to the well. We got it right in terms of NFO's B team and then Chelsea just Chelsea'd. Um I don't know if there's anything more to say about that. Shall I shall I show your team or my team? No. Oh thank you. Fuck. Oh thanks. I have to because people get so sad. When we don't do it. Let's skip it. Well everyone's gotta see my bench boost. I'm f absolutely flying. Fifty one points. Bench boost in a one point Donaruma, one point strike. Two point me style bench boosts. Yeah. Two point LaCroix, two points the hard way, and a three point Adam Scott. I had a Yeah. Adam Scott assists overturned to an own goal. I had Adam Scott ten DEF CONs in forty five minutes, couldn't reach two more in the other forty five minutes. I had You know, LaCroix, goals conceded, yellow card DE CON, two points the hard way, Stroke, zero DEF CON. Yellow card. Insane. Unheard of. Shot the moon all the way. And then Donna Ruma and City are a fucking bottling pistake joke and they always happen. So um That's my team. So I didn't watch any of the City game today 'cause it was working. Maybe you got the fuck happened in that. 'Cause I saw it half time, I was like oh one nil Okay, this game's just Straight up over. I was I think ever done like one shot off target at half time. I was like okay. Yeah, I'll just kind of They'll kind of like just backpedal their way into just an easy win to nil what happened there. Well it all started with uh well you kind of cur curse the commentator on gahe he, 'cause it all started with a gay Pass that never reached the keeper. And just was tapped. And every got a gay assist that wasn't given? Yeah, well I transferred gay to I forgot to mention that. I did Gay to O'Reilly for a minus three. Multiple assists today, yeah, multiple assists. Multiple assists. So he back pass the better the funniest part of the back pass was the commentators just don't know the offs rule. And they're like, Oh no, Barry's offside, that's gonna be that's gonna be overturned. Like that's how they reacted. Like no sense of it even possibly. And in Discord I was like but that's a fucking goal. Like Gay passed it and Gay's on his knees, by the way. He knows it he knows the rules. He knows it's a goal. He's fucking dead. Um so that happened and then yeah, they just imploded. I mean Nunesh is a joke. And he's so bad. Um bad. Full of mistakes. O'Reilly's not a left back. All of the things that Kind of everyone knew, but it didn't matter because they've been scoring so many goals and been so good and they just all came to roost all at once, um, in one How did it happen? Explosion. They're playing someone who hasn't started a game in the year wing with like they had three play they had two and a half attackers. Like what happened. It all happened in I I would guess ten minutes. Ten minutes? Yeah, like completely fell out. A backbass then O'Brien Corner Which was just a typical corner. Yeah, whatever. And then yeah, Barry again, like just a Kusinov nightmare. He's in space. Like like it was just individual errors and doesn't don't defend a series of individual errors and panic and completely bottling and shitting themselves all the way. That's really like the full summary. Um So we're not shedding our pants and changing our shirt on this one. We're like such a good quote, but I love that quote. We're shedding our pants and like going into the reservoir. Yes. For a full body immersion. It was a full fold shit. Bottle I give the classic shit bottle combo. Classic shit bottle combo. Okay. Yeah. All right, so I see you. And they gift the title. The title's back over. It's been one back one. Back over and then Yeah. And then you know Arsenal or fully capable of dropping more points and then it's gonna be back on and it it's I love I love a race. I love the drama. Boys doing it for his son Arteta. Um is it Sunartada? Look at Team Wall show though. What are we talking about? Senesse a third of your points. Thank God. I'll tell you we got Senesse. I will tell you one thing. It is a very good thing that Team Walsh has five trannies in the bank because I have players that I want to kill and boy will they be executed this week. That's all I have to say about it. They're going to hell. Straight to hell. That is all I have to say about it. Straight to hell. You're not Pasco. Yep. You're going I mean Palmer is legitimately on the list. Like he's a never again. Never ever again for me. Yeah. It does I don't care what's happening in the future. It will take seeing and not believing. Like it it needs to be n he could have s a double and a double and a double in a row and I need to see it first. I just need to see it first. Yeah. I need to see Chelsea be good before I can even possibly consider it. There are Honestly, I He's just it's just I can't imagine a world in the future that this fucking terrorist is in my FPL team again. I just can't imagine it. I feel like this year was just uh I'm like re traumatizing myself over and over you are just going back two years when he was good. It wasn't even like last year. Like I was going insane about him last year, about how bad I thought he was playing, even though he was still getting some output. And this year I it's I feel like I've owned him like four times this year. Correct me if I'm wrong. I think it was first half of last year he was Still amazing. He was actually the only person in the entire league. keeping up with Mo last half of last year. And it was like no, because I'm just bringing up the output point. I think that's like when All of his output was first half. And then he just did nothing in the second half. I mean I'll Try and double check it, but yeah, so second half of last year through this Entire year. Except for that one stretch where like, you know, Ran L R has him and he gets a fucking hat trick and it's like, What the hell? is going on. By the way. When we owner that was a two pen hat trick. Yeah, well guess who fucking dove again today? Jou motherfucking Pedro. And this time we didn't get a pen. It's just like sometimes you snap, you know, that's what's happening. Yeah. He's he's just it's been a while. It's been a while. He's absolutely gone, fucking fired him off, fire him off on an asteroid, never to be seen again. This guy, this fucking joke, will not ever be on my team again. So that's good. This was the final death now. Yeah, it's nice that you got like uh closure. Closure. Yeah, closure. Closure. That's the word. Yeah, he's dead. Dead person. So That's good. That was a good result. That's really good. Yeah. That's uh we learn we we learn lessons. Yeah. I mean you miss a pen like after being injured for half a double, you just absolute can't forget it. Just forget about it. That's it. That's the week. That's all I want to talk about. Such a troll. And then you know, of course Holland gets a bonus and his one shot is a you know, uncontested through ball goal and it's like Easy. It's easier to get bonus when you don't do anything. And there's such there's another world where it's like I'm sitting here with Palmer, JP Enzo. I mean three one like that that game should have been three three. With the chances that Chelsea got and they just can't do anything right. And on the other end they just concede every fucking chance on time. Like Yeah, it's the Bob Monster. Ta wasn't even What is Ta Wo? I haven't seen Ta yet. Fucking Taiwo hasn't started a game or playing ninety. Since Palmer was good. And he just comes in and just gets huge chance, huge chance, huge chance. Like Joke, dude. Fucking joke. All right, let's move on here. Um no leagup updates yet. For May. So I mean, there's the double this week. There's the title raised. Alleged double. Yeah, it's kind of half a double. But I mean the one palace question we got was Scott, he said what the fuck do we do with palace assets. If you currently own zero and you have three f three freeze and you're already tripled on City. I mean so basically Is there anyone on Palace? worth getting for the double. That's like essentially what the question is, I think. I mean I think it's like Pretty resoundingly a no. I don't really understand why you would transfer them in at this point with given what we know. Um Yeah. They were so bad too. Yeah, I mean we're doing full rotate. We're obviously gonna advance to the final. Like it's gonna throw future in more chaos. So it's not even like over after this. Round of rotation. And we play Arsenal in thirty eight and we're at Brentham in thirty seven, which is really bad fixture for us because they're gonna be still really playing for everything for Europe. So I mean we just have quick turnarounds, heavily rotated team, completely on the beach, completely getting disassembled, just ships six and two. There's just no point. Like I think you're just looking at Hopefully you're getting like two points out of your guy in a double game week, basically. Yeah, I mean I I think you would if you're like On Dean Henderson. I think you would shake on four or five points, honestly. Like you're just you know, like a just a couple of two pointers, maybe a save point or two or something like that. And you could always get lucky with like a pen save or something like that, but Yeah, I mean I'm sitting here with LaCroix and I'm like, all right, well at least he's DE CONS, but Damn, the fear of like Yellow Car not hitting DEF CON can see two is real. You know, I'm obviously sporting it, but like it's fucking real. Um Well I mean there's also a non zero like you just don't know what they have their carrying. Like he just Sat Richards, like he's like, Well what what? Like yeah, I mean it's not guaranteed on the croix gonna just play both these games. Like he could just be like, Oh, I'm like feeling a little something like I need a day off because we're playing every two days. So like, you know, it's even that like the most secure in air quotes player you think is gonna start. Other than Henderson, who's just terrible. You're just having a hard time. Yeah, I fucking hate him. I'm very tired of it. Yeah, you're just You're just having a bad time, so Yeah. I think you just avoid and you know, people talking about Munoz, like I mean if if we weren't playing in fucking The semi final be all over these players. I mean for people who don't know so Their home Shaktar on Thursday. Yes, they're already up three one, but they're a hundred percent playing the strongest eleven and taking that game seriously. They're not gonna like For that game. 'Cause the league doesn't matter. Then they've two days off and play. Home Everton in the morning. And then they have Two more days d another two days off turnaround away Man City. We're obviously playing for fucking everything, City R. And Palisar emphatically not. Um And then, you know, a kinda normal ish rest before Brentford and Arsenal, which aforementioned or bad fixtures and then Assuming they're in the final, which is a very safe assumption, it's probably a few days after Game thirty eight, I assume. Like I don't actually know when the I'm trying to look this up. And there is no reason he should take I mean If you learn anything from NFO today, it's don't player good players 'cause they might their heads might get fucking split open if you put M GW in the game, right? So it's like Why would he play any single player that matters at all? In that home arsenal game. Yeah, it's two days after. Two days after the Arsenal game is done. I mean it's done. It's completely done. I shouldn't have brought in LaCroix. I use two transfers and for a total of negative one points. It's a fucking mistake. Like my life. What the fuck. Ha ha. What the actual f yeah, I I the the answer's just no. No, the answer's no. The answer is no. And there's not even like uh like they're not like the first game, right? No, they're not. No, they plan Sunday. I was just seeing like if there's like Maybe there's a fucking J S L leak and you're like, I'll punt on this fucker because like you have Thiago or something at City, but Not even that. Um we're not we're not leaking. Speaking of city, that's we got a few questions there. So I mean Fed said are you still gonna triple cap O'Reilly? I th I still think he's the best one. I mean. You said you didn't watch the match. I mean he was just living. Five yards from goal. I mean cut back block, cut back block, header cleared, cut back block. It was ridiculous. Like we could have He's just a cheat code. Yeah. I mean next week he'll be playing against, you know, Irish guy who sucks and the redheaded kid who's also fucking terrible. So he should have more joy there. I mean it's a tough one, I guess, just Tarko and and Key I mean they're eating that up, I'd imagine, today and then Yeah, and they just never leave their box. But he but they're also effective and good at Yeah, yeah. He could have had multiple returns. Would not have been unfair. Um He was saving 'em for next double for the double, you know. I hope so. Um Hobbin said, is it a sideways move from Cementul to Turkey? I mean, I think we had the exact same question last week. Yeah, but this week. He's just way better. It's just way, way better. Like usually I feel like the tactical shit Doesn't actually matter that much for FPL. People just like talking about it, which is fair enough, but I mean he's Semenya's like getting subbed early. He's much wider and wingery. Um Less shots, less Good shots. Um And that just seems like that's the way it's gonna be. He's just the main man. Yeah. Yeah, they also just don't counter attack. I mean he's good with pace and power on counterattacks, like historically I mean, it's not bad when they're trying to break a team down. He's still like a good passer and he like has good movement and stuff, but like that's Cirky time, you know? I mean Cherky's the magician, so Yeah. I think it's not sideways at this point. I mean we're looking at five blanks in a row from Somenyo, and like you said, the sub ca starting to get subbed early is is impactful. Big red floor. Yeah, I mean it was Obviously for a long time to get to menu and he scored with every shot, but Turkey's minutes have never been this good, or there would have been more conversations earlier in the season when People were making moves to get some menu would have been like Turkey's also an incredible pick. But he got dropped from like game week. twenty one to I don't know, for a while and he was just no not a pick at all. But now he's just you know nailed. Ninety. He's playing nineties. Um Which is the last question, which is John B. said what what are the best three city for the double? I mean it's probably If you're P for P and playing for points, it's Hall and Turkey and uh Riley. Hundred percent. And if you're not playing for points, it's uh Nunesh, Nunesh, Nunesh. God he sucks. What is he doing? That was so egregious today that was out of character. Well it was in character. I mean everything There's just so much freedom and space behind him. He was just getting finished with Def cock chair also? He was just oh, I didn't even know that. He was just caught pants down all the time. I didn't even know. Nine on an you motherfucker. He's so annoying. He's so bad. I feel like that is kind of out of out of character though, because usually he just generally doesn't do anything because the other team like can't get the ball over there to try and attack him.

I mean we have seen it, obviously at the season. Usually it's like in a game, it's like it was Kinda just over and over and over again. Good and promising. Sweeps up a lot. Yeah, he's kind of tasked with like you're playing both positions and sort of like a Clean up his mess. Trent Ma tip kind of way. You know, like it's just like we're okay with this this trade off and Everton are just they have good players and Moy's a good manager and they're just good at countering in space. I mean, dude. Watch the highlights in die. Two goals or two assists. I mean he was three through on goal Multiple times. Yeah, I mean could have laid off For a actual tap in? Or not shot it directly at Don Roma's chest. Yeah. I mean he multiple times. They were just running at them. For fun. I mean he's just like two point oh. I mean it's he'd be good if he had a again like if he had a brain transplant and he knew had any instinct about how to play, he'd be great. But if if not, you know, he's this like he's just gonna be a low output. Eat your man, like look really good merchant, but but just it's just not gonna happen. He's obviously such a talented And so not that good. Yeah. And then he's not that good. And then he just does that. You're fucking killing yourself. It's crazy. You know the thing though about it that like I feel like it's like I get I especially get really like in a vortex about is like He's on ever he's at his level. You know, I just get so frustrated like why aren't you like the best player ever? Like that's what I comp them in my head about. Like why aren't you better than this? Instead of just kind of look like you are exactly where you're supposed to be. Like exactly where he's supposed to be. You are playing at Brighton and you're kind of frustrating and stupid and you're you're never gonna score fifteen goals in a year in your fucking life. And that's fine. Like this is just who you are and you're gonna be playing it to the team that plays and finishes in eighth place or whatever. This is where we disagree. Cause I'm looking at someone like Minta and I see a twenty one year old that has incredible skills and I'm like he Could turn into some really good player. It's possible. He's that young. And dies fucking twenty six. Yeah, this is older. This is the prime of his career. This is the in like you know Barring you know, some rare twenty nine year old breakout season or something like that. Okay, so what if I were to tell you this then? If you you have a twenty one year old guy doing the things and you say, Okay In five years, you're you will progress to triple your goal output. Is that a good progression? You'd say, Yeah. Triple output's pretty good. Incredible. That's what we'd be doing here. We'd be doing going from two to six. Two for Minta right now as a twenty one year old to what N Dai has right now is six. I mean we you and I I think just have different that's half the same horizons. That's also eighteen hundred minute. I mean, that's unbelievable. The uh I think you and I have different time horizons and how much we watch players before we make j I make much snappy much quicker snap junctions than you. I think you're much more patient of like like I understand in theory and the concept of like yes, this matters. Yeah. But to me, like this is something I feel like we've I feel like the The decision making does not improve dramatically with age. Like I just don't feel like I see that happening. And I actually feel like strongly disagree. I think that's like the main thing you can bank on is decision making. Like you'll see Old strikers Take better shots. When they're like thirty one. Because they're yeah. those are like Chris Wood, you know, where it's like, oh yeah, someone whose skills don't get like much more depreciated. There's like flatter. Like he gets better with age, like a fine red wine, you know, but when you have the skills like these like Timo Verner type players, like or Minta or like Those types of players like they when their skills are only at this peak power where they have this ability for a f l much less amount of time because when they lose a step they fucking are in trouble. Like look at Mo, right? He's lost fifty steps and he's still like somewhat but but even last year, right? Like he stopped being able to beat a man of the beginning last year. Everyone's clear to know finishes with three years ago. Yeah, whatever but he's still good because his decision making is otherworldly. Like his football brand is just otherworldly and he's just always If you watch if you ask Marino about Mo at Chelsea, or if you watch him in Italy, you'd say he's a fucking annoying winger who's the fastest guy in the league and makes stupid ass decisions. If you ask Bane, why the fuck do you and Mo fight after every game and say 'cause he doesn't fucking pass the ball. He's a fucking moron, doesn't see me. You know, and then the best player ever. You know, and it's like No, and it's and I'm not to sit here and say like there's a zero percent outcome. You know, these players don't actually take a huge step forward. I just feel like this type of player in the, you know, brief s amount, fifteen, twelve years we've been watching for I've been watching football like it like intensely. More often than not, you know, they don't, and I just get sick of them. But when I see players that actually make the right decisions where I'm like, Okay, they like oh like someone like Olise where I'm like, This guy just fucking does the right thing all the time. Yeah. It's like yeah, he goes to Byron and he's like going for a Ballin dorf. Like like Eze. Like Ezra's just great football brain. Like he sometimes like gets his shots blocked, but I mean, but he'll he'll move the ball along, he'll shift it. He'll like but I don't I'm just trying to think of like Palace players and like But like I I don't know. Yeah, I just I feel like those types of players, like these and but and and it's also though too is like where I want wingers to just score fifteen goals and that's There are like four of them in the world, really. It's just the goal tally. Mainly because of guys like Mo Or just like proportionate from you know reality. Like we were talking about Gawk earlier and it's like cool he's on like eleven non pen goals and it's like That sounds really bad. I mean it's the same as like Eka Dike. But it's also the same as like Yeah, eleven is fine, you know, like he's not It's fine when you have fifteen assists also. I know, I know. He's not blowing the doors down, but like, you know, it's it's not terrible. It's not great. If a winger got eleven Sun had years where he was getting 11. You know, Mane had years where he was getting 11. 11's a lot. Um Yeah, I mean I think FPL has just warped it like where we have this uh disproportionate expectation with than to reality. Like if it's like a winger and also because like midfielders and wingers and wide forwards and inside forwards, like these are all very Very different things. Exactly. But I I still hold them all to the standard of like I want twenty goals from all my guys and my fucking team. Photos and Sunday and B and Sun and all Stirn. Yeah, so like In reality, you know, these like winger types are just glorified fullbacks, basically. You know, they just don't have to play defense and they're like I don't know. And yeah, like the output from these wingers, you know, if if they hit Ten goals. That's A a crazy number, like for a banger. Yeah, I mean as you look back when Ez was twenty two, Mint Day's twenty one. When Eze was twenty two was his first full season with Palace. played thirty four games in twenty six hundred minutes and he scored four goals. He also played it as an like midfield, but No, but I'm just saying, like that's kinda like and that was like his oh, he might be something kind of year. He didn't really pop until he was twenty four. Yeah, so he has Minte in theory someone like Mint I don't even know why the fuck we're talking about Minte, but it's kind of fun. But you know, in theory Minte has like three years pisses me off every game I've watched. Every time I watch him potentially pop. You know what I mean? Before he's like Maybe gets his big move at twenty seven, maybe Mintel got a big move at twenty seven to six. seasons of like potentially improving, you know, and that that's part of what people like about it. But yeah, I I think it's 'cause we were talking about and die, but fucking hell and die, dude. So frustrating. So I didn't even Voldy was pissed at him and he he loves his blues. Um Yeah, it's just so much talent and you just you just can't do the the right thing at the right time. Imagine if you didn't have pens. He'd be in no no team would ever own 'em in this game. Well that's the funny thing about him too, that I was uh you just reminded me is like What is he, six five? Six two? Which is a completely accurate price. And he's gonna be the same shit next year, and he's still a fine pick. He's 122 points. He's six two. He's on pens. And it's like he's frustrating, he's annoying, he's stupid, and he's Gonna finish on one forty and that's what you should expect from a Six million player, right? It's like, uh God. DEF CONs a bit, you know? It's just like that's Yeah, yeah that's who it is. I don't know. Anyway, um Arsenal or the other team we got a bunch of questions on. Yeah um Doctor Brad are any Arsenal fullbacks options? question they don't have any. I mean the most fullback player they have is literally a center back. Convert and and Benny Blanc. I mean he played center back when he Cal Fury, yeah. Yeah, he I mean he is straight up is the center back. But no, I mean that they aren't. I think we just look it's really un unreasonable for us to spend too much time talking about Arsenal before the NSF game. So Yeah, we n we need some more data probably. But I think, you know, Gabrielle's still a thing, like they scored some goals. They might just be a little bit more free flowing. I mean we'll see what if how Saka gets through, but yeah, like Saka and Saka was a Saka's a pick probably. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, he's probably a pick again, like Kai's back, like there's probably gonna be some minute cannibalization. It's gonna be hard to know like it when they win the league after Game of Thirty seven, like the Game of Thirty, like anything any team, like I I don't know, but yeah, the vibes Vibes are good after this you know, gaining two points on the on City this week. Yeah. So huge, huge. We'll see what happens to Atletica, right? But yeah, that's basically Yeah, yeah, yeah, I agree. I think that's basically all we need to save for now. I'll save Maybe questions for Thursday when we know like Survive ninety minutes, etc. Like what? You know, is Timber on the bench, is Kai on the bench, like these things actually matter a lot for the respective picks. Um So we'll figure that out. It was nice to see Calafiore though, because I forgot. Really? Hank Happy. I mean, he's fine. He's Completely fine. I think he's better at center back than fullback 'cause he is a center back, but You see Cala and he's just fucking making runs in the box. I'm like, Let's go. Pullbacks are good. Pullbacks are fun. But yeah, I mean it gives that less than that. Well he scored he scored a beautiful header, but it was just off sides. Yeah. Yeah. Uh yeah, yeah, Hank. He's just so so limiting. Yeah, he's just such a limiting, limited player. Yeah. Um Lass question that's not lifestyles for Brito. He said if you own Bowen and Thiago Arsenal and at city. Is this the week to go big at the back, triple cap on early? I mean yeah. Like if you can bench them, just bench them, right? Sure. Huge at the back. Probably don't get LaCroix though. Do you know who you're gonna get? Like you have your you have the sniper target and all these guys in your team, but do you know like who you're who you're bringing in yet? Is that Answerable? I mean, all I know is Palmer and Ladow are gone a million percent. Last year Ladra is so good today, by the way. I don't care. I just I can't have a Chelsea player. I I can't have any more Chelsea. He's like the one guy, yeah. I just I don't give a shit. Um his hair is obviously firing him off into the sphere. He's down tool. So that's three. I mean, I kinda want to just hang on to Mo just for later, because it's like, why not? So he'll probably get it play at some point. Yeah, I'll just h I'll hang tight there. I I really want to get rid of Bowen because having him just feels Like it if he doesn't get points on taking corner kicks, he just has no shot at getting points. Yeah, I know. I know. And they have really bad fixtures. So I want to get rid of him. So those are like the four that are really screaming at me. Tav is obviously a bad pick. I mean, without pens playing Wang, he's just strictly a bad pick. I cannot believe how long I've fucking owned him and they've won maybe I think three games. And all the games and three pens and he's taken zero. This motherfucker. I mean he has I mean he has two returns in the last like ten games. Like he's just doing absolutely nothing. He's just running his underlines. How many how many Brighton do you have? Because Brighton is the uh even though they shot the bed versus Newcastle. Their home walls they're I think the obvious place to go. Yeah. I mean I have Van Hecking and I have Bart, so I'm a little bit Bart Bart is motherfuckering me pretty good here. Um you have five freeze. Just fuck them on. Five freeze. Well, I mean we just got into like six free territory. There's six transfer territory if we're talking about Bart. Um so probably not gonna do anything there. I really want to just I really wanna just three Arsenal players. Like I just feel like Yeah, they're fucking good. So you're gonna wait and watch tomorrow. I might meet up with date for tomorrow. Yeah. I mean they have Western who look just Incom like they're in company. Worried about them. Yeah. I'm in I'm I'm excited about the prospect of them going down. So I'm very currently at Palace. I mean those are unreal in the palace Palace two days before, like that's gonna be a procession, a literal procession. So Yeah. So I mean soccer feels very likely. I don't know about getting gab like I I I have to look. I have to look at it. He got his head on Several balls is what uh is the only thing I will say about Gap. So maybe that's an indicator for future heads on balls, but I'm not sure. Yeah, it could be. I mean future past heads on balls, predicting future heads on balls. That's po that's a possibility. Um I just don't know if I wanna just roll the dice and choose three attackers. Like I'm gonna be having a bad time because they're there. I mean, who's gonna be starting these games? I have no idea. The sideboard's gonna go up and it's like I don't know, players are gonna come off on fifty, like who knows? I don't know. We'll see tomorrow, some information, and I'm probably gonna made to be an idiot, but I just don't believe him that Kai's fine. I mean Kai's has just been injured all season. Yeah. I don't really expect him in the squad and If he's not, I mean G It's just a great pick. And Saka also is a great pick. Um One of them will take a pen. Probably get. Well if they get one, yeah, maybe. I mean Ez A and Odegaard are both just like a little bit concerning because they might, you know, kind of Yeah. Steal each other's time a little bit. So You know, Odegaard's been a longstanding servant of the club. Like, you know, they just these last three games again, presuming that this is gonna be somewhat of a procession at the very end of the season. So I think you know, maybe probably it's like Gab Saka, Gak is maybe the Air quotes like that. Yak has the like momentum right now of just like he's playing well. He's even though they're pens, he's scoring important Goals at important times. And barely playing sixty minutes. The vibes are just well, he got taken off because they were up three nil, though. You know. The vibes are just Good with him and you know, it's assuming they make the final You know, that's a week after the season ends. It doesn't matter at all for the minute. So Yeah. Yeah. So Arsenal, Brighton. Yeah. Yeah. So probably like Henschelwood and three Arsenal are four by five moves. Yeah, I love that. I love that. Great moves. Okay. And I'll just bench whichever players I could tolerate just looking at their names. Like I have to figure that. That's like a reverse engineer thing. I'm gonna have to figure out. Alright, so we'll revisit that on Thursday. Um Should we do some lifestyles and then wrap it up? Yeah, that sounds good. This has already been like way too long. Yours also can you guys do a lifestyle only pod? So I don't have to be influenced by your FPL tapes. Fair. Yeah. Ask come up with twenty questions and deliver them as long as they're good questions. Liam said you have to make one of these shots in front of a large crow to earn ten thousand dollars. A half court basketball shot, a thirty foot putt, or a forty yard field goal, which do you choose? Oh my God, that's easy. This is not easy at all. Can you give me the the metrics again? What is it? Half court basketball shot. 30 foot putt. Or a forty yard field goal. And this is for how much money? Ten thousand dollars. You want to make it. You don't want to miss. I think it's probably the field goal. Wow. Million percent the basketball shot. Of course it's hard, man. It's far. Of course it's hard, but Ford yard field goal. I've never kicked a football for I've never kicked a field goal in my life. I've shot many half court shots. I've never put it in my life. So I'm not doing that. Forget the putt. I'm not that there's no sh no shot. No shot on the putt. I think if if I was like okay, I'm doing this in a week and I spent a week, like I gotta get my leg into a forty For sure. I'd be able to get there for sure. Fourty's far. Well is it forty like Forty seven. But it's forty yard line. Is it the forty yard line plus the extra seven or whatever? Because the forty yard line's a fifth. You're on the thirty, right? You're on the Yeah, yeah, yeah. Thirty three or whatever? Yeah, closer than that. You're on the twenty two. Well yeah. I mean I'm I'm gonna I'm gonna be able to I'll be able I like if I had to do it right now, like tonight. I would probably shoot. If you need a weird. Yeah. I'm fucking I can out I can outrun. It's unbelievable. Give me a give me a week to prep. I'm getting a forty I'll get there on a forty yarder. I would love to know For sure. That's a for sure. Well, I mean, obviously NFL's different because they're, you know, on the clock with huge men running at them, but I would love to know what's the forty Fourny Ardor success rate. The highest level, which is NFL. It's It's gonna be better than me shooting from fucking half court. Like you could give me You could give me a month to practice half court shots. I'm still gonna be really bad at them. Yeah, but here's the strong half here's the thing with half court is we can Hit the backboard almost every time. Like get it close every time. With the other ones I'm not sure that will be close. Well the we're not even talking about the putt. With a forty arter, I you could scuff it, you could shank it, you could tit it, you could fuck it. Nah, nah, nah, nah. I got a good lock. Probable long snapshot lasers there, right? On target. It's just beer pong. We're fine today. All right. Cause to me that's more of like you're just it's like would you rather have like, oh, it's one dart shot and you have to hit like bullseye red. It's like I'll do that if you give me, you know, 15 shots, but for one, I'm like, I want something that's like a higher repeatability where I can like do it. Yeah, and I feel like with the with the s and I wanna correct the former miscategorization you've had of me. I'm not confident. I'm delusional. Okay. What's the difference? What's the difference? Rabbit Man said, Do you enjoy having players from the teams you support? I find it way too stressful. Um, to have my happiness and FDL success tied to one player. I mean it's it's an easy one. It's the answer is yes when they're good and no when they're bad. Exactly straightforward. Exactly. I love it when they're really like I love it when it was O Lise, Eze and Metetta. I was like, Yeah, this is fucking Munya. It's like yeah, I fucking love this. I don't like it when you have yeah But in general, I mean I yeah, I I don't shy away from it 'cause it if anything, it gives me like a little extra like a little extra oomph. Yeah. I do think that the majority of fans, including us, including Nate, re most recently with Arsenal Are just more negative on their their own teams and their own players as picks then you know An outsider. Generally Yeah, so I like there's often like a good Liverpool guy and I'm the one that misses out and he's like trendy to get or you know, whatever it is. But Yeah, but then there's the bad one and you you also don't get but you say he's good like Gakpo. What do we do with that? He's not good. He is good. He's not good. Oh my God. You want wingers who score double digit goals. I got just the winger for you. Well he's a striker who doesn't score goals, excuse me. But there's another thing too, which like With your team players, like I hate having like when there's a high EO guy on your team that you don't have. Oh, then you get stuck with like can I like with Munyos that happens sometimes where it's like When I'm watching Palace and I don't own Munoz and Obviously I want him to do well, but then I'm like, I don't know, I won't really want him to do that. I hate that about all fantasy sports where there's just something in the back of your head that's like This Liverpool win is tainted because Blah blah blah, I got a double return, whoever it is. And I don't know. Yeah. Like I fucking hate that about fantasy. Yeah, yeah. That's for Bear's back. Fucking bear. He still hasn't bought his goddamn car. He said I have a question about cars. Have you ever had a sunroof and did you enjoy it? Yes and yes. I mean, I don't even know if they make cars actually my car doesn't have a sunroof, but I feel like 'cause it's like older, but new cars, I feel like they just all have sunroofs, right? Yeah. Yes and yes. It's good. And maybe not in the fucking UK if it's always bad weather, but it's good. Yeah, I mean a sunroof is just You cut when you don't have the sunroof visible, there's a fucking cover on it. You don't even know which the whole car was a goddamn window. I wish I was driving in a piece of glass. Yeah, like it's a convertible. Like you go to the whole top. But yeah, I mean that's it's just it's just I don't know why they don't make I don't know why they make cars that don't have sunroofs at this point, honestly. Last question is this is just a you question. I mean John V said Be more for the full off season, but are there any soccer documentary rec? Not my field. Airfield. What do you like watching? What are the all timers? I mean I can't. Oh, I watch 'em all, but But uh Is it Sunbury until I die? Is it Oh like oh that kind of I mean I'm thinking more of player exposes. Yeah. I mean I like that and shit like that. Yeah, yeah. 'Cause I mean, you know my my memory of these things, like three months removed from watching something, it's like I've never seen it in my life. Like I can't I can't recall. But I remember like I like the Beckham shit 'cause he's just such a fucking weirdo. He is his whole life is just so bizarre. Like there's some Beckham There was a Beckham one recently that was pretty interesting. And also 'cause he was like definitely before our time. But like just kind of it went went back to just like the tabloid nature of him with like the stupid spice girl and he's like a little teenager. He's like with his haircut and shit. I'm just like, What are you talking about, bro? Like you fucking what? Like so yeah, the Beckham one was kind of fucking hilarious. You watch the Beckham one and then you're like, Oh, this is where Bale got all of his moves. You're like, this is where Bale like oh go to Madrid. I want to be Popular and like all that shit. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Okay. Um, I think I remember watching one about the Vardy uh that tabloid thing was fucking hilarious with Rooney's wife. Really, really hilarious. Oh yeah, not funny. I mean it was m it wasn't really f soccer. Like it was more just like the whole thick theatrics around these stupid idiots. That's just reality TV. Yeah. Yeah, but it was it was entertaining to say the least, I thought. Um think it was called Wags or something like that. That's a great nose and it's also just so ridiculous these movies, they're so self serving for their own little you know narrative or there's the version of the story they wanna put out, but There I think there was also there was one of a Figo one that was really good that I remember watching a little while ago. Um 'cause another one before my time, but it showed a lot of cool had a lot of cool stuff about Figo and his career. Um That's all I can really come up with right now. Yeah, there's a Ronaldinho one that just came out that I didn't didn't think that was too good, but I'm sure also Discord will follow up with this with all their Must watch faves, you know. So I mean the the ones that follow the teams, like the city ones, the Arsenal, like they're just not good. Like to me. They're just so there's they're just so boring. Like it's they always have a good first episode or first two episodes. And you're like, Oh my God, the Marino's fucking hilarious. This is But you it ends up that they just cut the all the best shit from the entire thing and threw it in the chop it up just to get you to watch and then uh yeah, like the Rex and thing like they just get to be really kind of I would never watch that. Yeah, they're just like boring. But the I like the ones that are just like the player. Yeah kind of like their career and their now and they show a little bit of their what they do off the field and you get a personality. There's on a Neymar wasn't that good. He's kind of like annoying, but Yeah, I like those ones. When they pop up I watch. You know, we still gotta do our our rewat of uh what was it called? This is Liverpool. What's the broj? The broj. Liverpool, I think that's being liverable. We need to watch that again, because that is just gonna be a pure comedy. Yeah, I agree. I agree with that. I wanna see young John Joe with Braj. Oh my narrative Owen. Yeah. Knowing what we know about Braj now makes watching ever. Like just imagining like what it's just everything's dialed up, you know? It's just It's good stuff. It's so good. If if there's any more that I think of, I'll uh I opened the Wikipedia just to See what's going on with the in the the the only two quotes about the reception of Being Liverpool is one from Mark Lawrence and he says Um The Anfield bosses of old would be turning in their graves. Direct quote. And then the other quote is Rogers must be off his head to do this T V dribble. Ca he just looks like the biggest piece of shit ever, because he is. And he thinks he's the shit. And he thinks he's the best thing ever. Gucci Pods gifts. Who doesn't? Whenever I think of that, I always think of the fucking poly walnuts with the painting of Tony with the revolutionary war. Come on. I wanna get a painting of me, like my bald fucking ass, uh the revolutionary war garb in front of my war horse. Like I w I would hang that. In my in my in my bedroom. In the man cave. Yeah. Uh but uh I think that's about That's all we got. This is what I would want AI for. If I could go to AI and say, hey What are the what soccer documentaries have I seen over the last ten years, like populated list like Give me that. Yeah. Then I could just like see the list, but like my brain is fried. But you'd have to Well you'd have to input the information, you know, I don't know. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. If I knew the information. You can't do that. It can't read your mind yet. I need that. That's the I want. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Can you work on that for me? Yeah, I'll work on that. I'll let me punch the numbers. Um no asses to slap. It's the end of the season. Any last words. See you tomorrow. See you tomorrow. Check this out. And everyone'll be able to compiles on Twitter supposed being the compassion versus drop making a PG.
