Good afternoon everyone and welcome to the Green Arrow FPL podcast from Fantasy Football Hub. As we look ahead to G Gouble? Double game week thirty six. Double game week feverish. Maybe not as exciting a double game week as it could have been, and certainly not as exciting as Game week thirty three. Uh my name is Fergie. usual I'm joined by the brilliant Rich Clark. Rich, how are you? And what colour Was your arrow in game week thirty five. I'm well. Um Hi everybody. Terrible game week last week for me. Uh really Partly due to my own moves, but actually just some of my own decisions. Uh yeah, really bad week, just forty seven points last week, which was well below the the average. Um quite a significant drop in rank for me from fifty five K down to about seventy three. So my my top fifty K aspirations have taken a bit of a dent. Um, mainly by my own doing. I I had four or three transfers, uh, decided that I'd just spend one last week and Decided to sell Sinessi. Ahead of his game against Pallison. Swords low. Play it nice and safe and bring back Gabriel ahead of his uh nice runner fixes just to have some Arsenal defensive cover. Now Gabriel didn't do anything wrong, he came in and got a Got a cleet, did his job, and he's he's obviously there for the rest of the season. However I also, therefore, had a bit of a benching headache and chose to bench James Hill at the same time as selling Cinessi. So I missed out on twenty four Bournemouth defensive points that quite a lot of Wildcard thirty two teams cleaned up on. So yeah, it was a big hit, unfortunately, based on those those two decisions elsewhere among the team. You know, Wellbeck did get a return away to Newcastle. I think you had him too, and you know, good decision to play him. So he got an assist and uh and and continues to return. He's got a nice fix it this week. The big disaster. I was away fortunately and didn't see the Chelsea game on on bike holiday Monday. But um Uh Palmer. Mr. Penalty, zero points. And uh it looked like uh Jel Pedro was gonna blank as well until right at the end when he scored uh Scraping What a goal. Do you know how quickly Richie to I like normally when someone chets up like that and scores over a kick. They chest it up. They kind of wait for it to start falling. And then and and then they jump at He started jumping as it was still good up in the air. It was such a such a rapid movement. It was fantastic. Hit it at the top of the arc, did he? Such a good player. Yeah, so so at least he got something. And um But yeah, Chelsea was shocking generally, and the game had gone before before that moment. And so the sort of that decision, you know, oh let's give the Chelsea boys one more game against Forest, who frankly have been brilliant in the last few weeks. That was that was again another Another poor decision. And uh and and those who went early on. say Saka and Jokares and you know they were we were talking about them in last week's pod, you know, did very well. So Unfortunately, now feels like a bit of a points chase, um, about to happen. So yeah, I'm pretty disappointed, but you know, we've got to dust ourselves down and play the double. I've still got a few transfers to spend, so uh Hopefully we can end up. I'm gonna be trying to get you to spend them this week, Rich, rather than on the whole offline. I expect I expect you will. Um, I did I feared a bit better. Uh, fifty five points, uh a small a small red from one eight seven to one nine five, and really the only key difference was I kept Sunesse in in my team, uh, but I did bench Hill ahead. Bench, uh, Bogle five, uh, Hill ten, and Hinschelwood seven. There's twenty two points on my bet. Well, and and the Bruggins too. Um so twenty four points on my bench, which is tough, but um Double E's defence obviously came unstuck on Friday night, which which not good. I'm glad I didn't go for the Even though it would have been Bogle. I managed to pick Strog St um Stroke over Bogle. Uh Manual looked There's not much going there. We did speak last week, didn't we, about the sideways move from Turkey. I still think that's a potential option this week. for people. Uh, but yeah, I think our team was more or less the same, I think, Rich, from there. Naron in. So fifty five. Um I saved a transfer was the only good thing. So I've got two free transfers. Going into this week and obviously there's have you got four now, Rich? Still got four, yeah. You've got four. I've got two. So obviously one of the main things we're gonna be talking about this week. where and when to spend them because we are in a double game week. However. Uh most of us had already tripled up on Man City. and Crystal Palace have just been rotating, uh they're midfield and forward players anyway, like like crazy. Um so do we really wanna go there? So that's gonna be like a a key question, I think, where Think we're asking ourselves. Um Welcome to everyone in the chat. Just before we kick off, uh, Graham Miller. uh asks about uh cmenyo to Turkey. Uh, he might bring in a Palace defender, Ollie uh Salenson. is in, says thanks for all the streams this season. Uh Ian McLaughlin Um, are we all off to palace this week? Or is it a case of a token one? So can't wait to hear how the two of you are going to approach it. We'll be talking about that definitely. He said does it feel natural bringing defenders from an away game against City who might run riots and this and this is it, is are we two sort of Just um, you know, ingrained in the way now. Oh, it's a double game week. We ha we just have to do it because Yeah. pint in the airport, do you just do it because you're there, you have to do it. Very topical, mate. Very topical. Yeah. Uh Scott uh has asked everyone if you have do g have any violin moments. Send them in. Uh John Akinley is in. Uh, Andy Barnett, uh from Dream Team. uh says good evening, Jens. Colin Johnston is in FPL Freddy. Sixty two points in wild card thirty five and bench boost in thirty six. FPR Freddy is flying. David Kent. is in as well. Um, Alan Sarage, Ross Johnson. uh so many more. Uh great to have you all with us. Um just before we Look ahead to the next few weeks. Uh, your mini leagues aren't over just yet. Rich, I've noticed I'm Thirty nine points behind you. And I do I do remember. I don't I I do remember so there's there's a couple of things. Round about Christmas time, you were ninety points ahead of me. You were you were you were gone. I was thinking, bye bye, Sayanara. See you next season, Rich. Thirty nine is gonna be tough because our teams are incredibly similar, right? But um but I also remember I do remember um game week thirty eight last year. We watched the football together in the pub. brought in Semenyo. I played him, you benched him. And on the pod I talked about Captain and him. And if I'd have captained him, I would have beaten you last year, probably bottled it and went for the Saka or Salah or whatever it was. And it was only about six points at the end. swing like that on uh on just one player can't it going off so it's not over um you know another another week like last week and there won't be anything in it going into the last week. So no definitely not um I'm I'm like Aston Villa's manager. I'm definitely not thinking I've got anything over the line yet. So uh Need a good week, mate. Need a good week. Keep trying. Keep trying. And um get on the hub if you need some help. You can get on the herb for some help. Uh still seven day free trial. We've got the team beta test in our new app this weekend. We're absolutely buzzing for it. It looks it looks incredible. Uh native. Brand new app. uh for for for members. Make sure you stay with us over the summer 'cause it is absolutely special. Um, you can still get seven days free uh by signing up now. And just to say that if you do um sign up now for you, obviously you're probably gonna get it cheaper now than you are at the start of next season. Couple of uh violin moments. Um Rich, obviously your your snacy moment was a bit of a Bit of a killer. Um Ian McLaughlin uh says only violent moments with seeing stroke. Stuff up the lead, double clean sheet, only to see Hill's ten points. staring back at me on the bench, and I'm sure there's worse. Yeah, we did the exact same thing there. And we did have one uh Palmer Someone ca I s I saw a couple of people on on X actually, I think I think Scott's had one in, captained. Hammer just to go for that, you know, real upside panton. It's incredible really how a missed penalty can take you can take a captaincy basically from probably twenty points when you include bonus probably. Big fat zero. Incredible how the how these little things can impact you know the the game weekend the season so so much. Yeah, well I I don't know what Palmer's um ownership. was rich. I don't think it was sort of massively high, was it, in um an effect it's probably like thirty percent or something, but I don't know what it forty percent was in the um Echelons of the game. I think it was very popular on Game Week that Thirty two wild cards. Yeah. So he was pretty much on every single wild card I saw. of which that's a fairly common template team, and most people I think still got him. Part from people who traded him out early for for Saka. But if you're doing that, you were doing that in last week. You're only doing it on nine minutes that Saka got in his first comeback game. So it was pretty risky to to to put him in. Then he only got a half, didn't he, against Fulham. And then he was he was carefully managed there, and he was carefully managed in the Champions League. So his minutes haven't been Unbelievable. Um but yeah, well done if you went there early. And uh I'm sure more will follow. Ian McLaughlin says uh Palmer's ownership only fifteen percent. So it probably would have given us a nice little boost there, Richard that gone on but We go on. Uh, Light of the Land, uh these game weeks are getting fatter because there's so few left. Now we've got Three game weeks to go. Uh we've got Man City top of the ticker. They've got four games left. Three at home. Uh, home to Brentford this week and home to Palace. Um, we'll we'll talk a bit about that now, won't we? Waiter Bournemouth, you know, just just in terms of the state of the league. I think a way to Bournemouth is a Ricky old fixture. I I think you know, obviously being a s being a Spurs fan, I would love I would I would love Man City to you know, at least take it to the final day, if not, uh go on and win it. Sorry, Scott. Um but I fear that that Bournemouth game could be a really telling game in this title runner. And then they're home to Villa um in game week thirty eight. And if Villa reached the Europa final that'll be three or four days after the final, which if they get there you'd expect them to win. So they could be Bunch of uh hugovers. They will be de Deep in the sand. Um, Arsenal second in the ticker, uh, you know, in just seeing level way to West Ham this week. Really good fixture, home to Burnley, as good as it gets. And then away to Palace in thirty eight, who will very likely be playing a European final three days later. So you've got a fancy Arsenal. to take um all three of the wins. And if they do, they will be champions, um Being a Spurs fan, I'm hoping for a a West Ham Arsenal draw this weekend. That would that would do do quite nicely, but can't see it, God we Arsenal seem to have uh just just turned on the pressure at the right time, don't they? Um what's the other title race, Rich, before we uh we go, Yeah, really good. I mean really really interesting. I I was again as I said I was away Monday night, so I didn't see the Everton City game live. I've caught up with some highlights since and I think I ended up going to sleep because I had no internet where I was staying. I went and Everton were winning three two and I was thinking that was it done on dusted and then got up and found out next morning there'd been a dramatic late equaliser. So they're still in it with a With a point and Doku obviously with the brace there in that in that game. Um yeah, I I I don't think it's over. I think there will be more twists. And I think if anything, uh obviously Arsenal's toughest game is this weekend against against West Ham. I think so. Uh because they're fighting so hard. And you know, you you've really seen it, haven't you, in recent weeks that the teams, you know, Leeds, Forest, Spurs and West Ham, they've all been getting points now. And they just will start getting points because they're just having to fight for their lives. And And it does make a difference at this time of the season. If you're not if you're motivated, it will it will translate into goals and it'll translate into points on the pitch. So yeah, very tight down the bottom and very tight up the top. I do think Arsenal have the fixtures to get there and the the players and the confidence to get there. So that would be my prediction, but I do think it will go to the last day of the season. I don't think it'll get resolved. Do you think they're gonna go there with a two is it is it a two point lead, I think, if uh if they if they all win the remaining game. Yeah, they probably might just need a they might just need a point to uh Depends on goal difference, wouldn't it? Yeah. For fantasy, we really want gold difference to make a difference in that Burnley fixture. And that that might make a difference to some of our picks and our our choices there in terms of which way we go. So Um yeah, gotta be really tight. And I I said most exciting Premier League for years. And I think when you look at the European European spots. We've got a graphic coming up in a minute when you see who's playing for for what what positions, you know, pretty much. you know, sixty percent of the teams are still are still playing for something. So it's so it's uh it's really, really interesting and really, really tight in in most of the uh most of the competition. So it you know, we've got the cup final next weekend. No one's even talking about that as well. Chelsea miraculously are in the cup final. I don't know I don't know how they've managed to do that, but they're not going to one good game they've played in the last two months was in that that leads semi final. So so they've they've still got a chance of winning a trophy, but I don't think they're gonna be uh bothering the European uh organizers next season unless they win the cup against City. So yeah, that's their best chance and they'll be going all in for that, I think. But yeah, really, really interesting running. And um Yeah. What what can we do? What can we do to save our season, Spurgey. There's a there's a few more um teams with decent fixtures. Bright Brighton at home to Wolves this week. They got Leeds and then United at home. So I do think Brighton's fixtures are pretty good after still for for all of the next three. Well, we've got we got a beach slide, uh soon and United, I think, are in the in the beach camp. Um yeah, there was something I don't know how true it is, but there was something like saying out there saying Cunha's been given the rest of the season off. I saw that it was a Brazilian yeah, there was a Brazilian journalist saying that uh because he's been having niggles and stuff, they want to give him the rest of the season off. the World Cup. So uh So yeah. Um and yeah they they They're probably really the only teams worth talking about from an F P L view, really. It's it's all about City, Palace this week. And maybe Arson obviously we'll you know we' we'll talk about the rest sort of next week and the week after. We just wanted to show the fixture crust first, 'cause this is This is interesting in terms of um in terms of the days between if you look at the like this is this is massive when you look at the run in the difference for for Arsenal and Man City in terms of in terms of the day. So the This is off um at Leg O Marley underscore F P L if you don't follow him. X, make sure you do, but If you look at the difference, like Arsenal, the way it's played out for Arsenal in terms of the Chapman's league final be also being a full week after game week thirty eight means they've got Plenty of time now between every single match to rest, recuperate, you know, lessen the risk of injuries. play a full strength team probably now in every single match whereas you look at cities rich and they've got four games not far off in the same time that Arsenal have got too when you you you're counting this extra fixture against Palace and the F up file there as well. So does that I suppose does that alter your thinking in terms of Well w what's what's it doing till you're thinking we've arsehole players it means that Yeah. You can be fairly sure that until Arsenal have won the title, they'll go full strength. I mean, that's the first thing to without really worrying about having to rotate the the city having to play pretty much every three days, you know, with the cup final in between, you know, their their second game in the double game week and then, you know, the their game in thirty seven not coming, I think it's Tilda. Till the Tuesday, is it? Uh Tuesday the nineteenth is their Game Week thirty seven game. So yeah, those I wouldn't be surprised to see a bit of City rotation, um, or a little bit of City minutes management, as we saw in the uh the Everton game with likes of some meneer coming off early and maybe even Cherk coming off early. So um I do think City will will use their bench a lot more. And um Yeah, it it it's not it's not Easy. The other things to to mention is that we've got a game tonight between Forest and Villa. for the Europa League semi final. That's one or is it one Nil to Forest at the moment. It's one Nils and Forest, yeah. Away leg at a way legged villa. The winner of that. Game. You know. Oh sorry, the the the the winner of that game could then become pretty targetable, it would seem, you know, if you look at the Villa play Liverpool are in game week thirty seven and Forest play Manchester United away. Yeah. And that those two games are only two days before the Europa League final. So whoever does win that tie. Crazy. is gonna rest everybody. Absolutely. Final. And therefore you've got a very targetable fixture in Game Week thirty seven. So that might influence sell and it might influence who you hold your transfers for to to buy to have a have a last punt because you could be seeing the reserves come out for those for those two games. And similarly with Palace. You know, at the end their conference league if they they get through tonight and they're three one up, that comes just two days after they play Arsenal in the last. So again, you're gonna see mass rests there for a team a squad that's already seeing mass rests. So we could have the we could have the kids out for that Arsenal game. Although If there is, you know, the title on the line, I'm sure Man City will be objecting to uh you know, before it's even happened that that Palace don't put out two weaker teams. Or if it's or if Arsenal have won the league, it could be Arsenal reserves against Palace Reserves ahead of ahead of both of them having European finals. So the so wherever you see red on that that ticker you should look you should see opportunity and also, you know, fear of of rotation if you if you own players from both sides. So very interesting. We will talk about um specific players for City and Palace in a bit. We just want to touch on palace ones as well. So they play this evening, they've got the home tie against Shaktar Danes, they're three one up. They'll likely go through you'd get after a home win and they're the other ones obviously with this crush. They've got Everton. um at home in midweek and then City away w which is which is the double Um before I think it's at Brentford away, um in game week thirty seven, but The Everton game comes three days after. They're probably gonna play their full strength team this week. They've got a game three days later, they're really gonna play a full strength team there, probably not players like Sar and Warter, and you know, they're not and Mateta are not scared to rest anyway. They've only been playing their defenders really in every game. And then uh three days on from that again they've got they've got Man City. So we'll uh we'll touch on palace now. Before that we just wanted to look at um Uh this is uh opta analyst. uh predictions on on kind of where each team is in terms of uh whether they're Whether they're still fighting, um, whether they're on the beach Um where they're kind of on the plane towards the beach. Rich, do you want to sort of talk us through it? Yeah, yeah, I suppose it's just a slightly uh This is a slight adaptation of the spathometer, really, isn't it? Our subjective view of whether or not, you know A team is worth targeting, a team is really gonna keep playing their their first team or or whether really they've they've hung up their boots. And it's not correlate completely to the to the league, as you can see. So you know, up the top you'll see Arsenal and City, you know, still battling it out, although I think the odds are now something like eighty five percent likely that that Arsenal are gonna win the title according to Opta. Eighty five better chance than that, wouldn't you? It doesn't feel absolutely that is crazy. Fifteen percent or fourteen point seven percent. And then down down the bottom you'll be happy with this one, Fergie. It says Um even though they're only point ahead or two points ahead of West Ham, eighty percent likely to stay up, according to Opster. Do you feel that? Absolutely not. Goodness me, no. I think you know Well This this weekend is massive, but you know, shout shout out. I've been very, very down and I would I'd go as far as to say derogatory about Spurs this season, but what a performance. I don't know if you saw any of that, say that way. What a performance against Villa on the weekend. It was It was the best performance we have put in for for a long time. And Villa are a top team, right? Let's not make any bones about it. And one of the commentators actually said, you know, Oh, you know, Villa have got a couple of players out. Spurs have got like fifteen players out. They have had all seasons. So to turn up like they did off the back of, you know, they're they're this whole spine of their team all the team is still gone. They turned up and they played superbly well. Well done, Deserby, and well done to those Spurs players, 'cause they've uh given themselves an excellent chance. It's in their hands now, which is Yeah, yeah. Very good. And then just one last thing, you know, obviously, you know, in the middle of the table as well, though in the upper half. You've got a you know a Ding dong battle for for the uh the final Champions League spots. Although you know you can see here that this is why we've given a bit of a meh rating to Liverpool and Villa. You know, they've sit in the departure lounge sitting marg sipping margaritas. You know, they're ninety six, ninety seven percent likely to see all their Champions League spots with just have like a point needed in the last three games. So they're kind of they're kind of there, but they're not like mathematically certain to get there, but they're pretty much there. So that's why we we rate them as only in the departure lounge. We don't think they're still fighting really. Down below them, you know, you've got this massive block of teams, you know, Bournemouth, Brighton, Brentford, you know, teams that we as as engaged managers own a lot of assets from at the moment. You know, five, six, seven players from these three teams. And they've still got it all to play for. So They look like good holds for now, for at least the next couple of weeks to and we wait and see what you know what how those results go, you know, because um if they're fighting. You don't really want to be losing their players, do you? Is it right as well, Rich, that if Villa go and win the Europa League that that opens a sixth Champions League spot? Yeah, I think so. The the team that comes sixth will get in the Champions League, which at the moment it's crazy. Wow, there's a there's a real s a real scrap there. And they you know, whoever makes it really deserves it because um you know th those those teams have had some fantastic seasons. Uh, you know, we were all right in off Brentford at the start of the season. Um obviously they lost uh Thomas Frank and you know, what Bournemouth and Brighton have done with their sort of limited I wouldn't say limited resources maybe, but sort of limited squads comparable to, you know, the Chelseas of this world and and new castles and spurs and whatever else. They've been absolutely Phenomenal. So uh well done to them. We just had a super chat, Rich. uh from Jordan Bolton. He's got a violin moment. Um he said he's very bullish. Uh, he was very bullish on Yakarash all week. Cold feet on a deadline stream. The armban went on Harland. Benched sacca for Somerville because scared of the early Surb Jordan. Sorry, Jordan. You to share it. You deserve a big old uh violin for that, Jordan. Goodness. Um Column has just said uh if Villa win the European finish fifth, teams at NFP six could get Champions League. Yeah. Uh interesting. As a Fulham fan, I'm not sure he wants us to beat Bournemouth. If it means Brentford gets Champions League, like there's a lot of permutations. And Man City Oh yeah, that's a good point, Mafia Freddy. Uh Man City have to win the FA Cup. Um, if Chelsea not in the top seven as well. Yeah, there's some okay. There's some crazy permutation. It's fantastic end of the season. Don't worry about that. Chelsea aren't gonna win the FA Cup, Freddy. I can't see them gonna be honest, Fred. Let us know if you let us know if you disagree with any of these sort of beach fighting departure lounge. Your team is uh, you know, been incorrectly assessed by us, then uh do let us know because we're we're happy to change it. They're just our our subjective views and we're not this we don't want to insult any fans here, but we just think, you know, they're they're reasonably accurate in terms of sense of how we see teams look play looking and playing. So we enjoy it together, yeah, as well. Yeah. Um yeah, thank you. Uh Chimpy is in first Green Arrow live all season, roll on the double game week fear. Absolutely, Chimpy. And uh And on that, let's look ahead to game week thirty six and transfer target. And it's probably you would have thought, Rich, this screen double game would be littered. With um Palace and City players. Palace and City players, you know, blues and Balls and all that, but it's not it's not really, is it, Rich? Give us your give us your thoughts. You may not have the ideal three, you probably have had them since Wildcard or since their earlier double game week. And so We haven't put Harland on here, obviously if you don't own Haaland, you you really need to get him in. Um we haven't got Samenyo in here 'cause he's fifty percent owned across the game still. And therefore, you know, if you haven't got him, you might be thinking about replacing him with the man who is on there, which is Rayan Cherkey, who's been sort of doing the points really well for the last four or five weeks and seems to be still in in Pep's good books for for the time being. So if you're gonna bring in a city transfer this week, I would think Cherkey would be the one you want. Most people have O'Reilly as well. And again, you know, great pick if you don't own him, but really we're just trying to identify lower owned options here that that might appeal. um for use of use of free transfer. So we've only got one city asset on here. It doesn't look broadly different to what to what the picks were last week. So we did tip And uh they went ahead and banged in a load of points, didn't they, at the weekend and look and look really good. So uh we definitely have them again. Um since then Saka's obviously scored in the Champions League, played fifty eight minutes this week in the Champions League, got a tap in uh for for Arsenal's winner. So he's made such a difference since he came back. He's so talismatic. He's been given the captaincy. I think it's safe to buy him now. Um and I think I think we'll see, you know, a lot of people going that way, particularly with Palmer's. form. I think there's a bit more of a question mark over Jocares, both in terms of Havertz's availability as an alternative. and the fact that Joker is quite expensive, so people may not have the immediate funds to greater gel Pedro or Thiago to to go there. You need about one and a half mil to get to get up to him. uh and therefore he's a bit more of a challenge to bring in. However, I do like him and I do think he going double arsenal attack is definitely a way to be a little bit more differential against the the Reyer, Soliva, Gabriel type. combinations we've seen all season and it just feels more exciting and feels like a good A good time to do it. Palace. Or a bit more of a bit more of a headache, aren't they, for next week. I mean it's really, really difficult to predict who is gonna play, um, who is gonna start both games in the double. And therefore I've just put the two most likely players to start both games in in the graphic here, which is Maxon Slacqua. Uh, who's very good for DEF CONs as well and has not missed a a game yet in either Europe or the league in terms of starts. And um and Dean Henderson, who, you know, again has played every game. So if you wanna but you're seeing a lot of people who wild carded last week. bringing in those two already and having them there. A lot of people are bench bench boosting these guys. And uh and one of those at least makes uh makes a good move to to bring in to cover that that Crystal Palace defense in the in the double, but I think we were talking before the show, Fergie, and You're you haven't got as many transfers as me. Uh uh So It's not out of the question to just leave palace, is it? It it's it's it's uh what are your views on that? Because I don't think it's necessary to have three. Certainly. If you look at If you look at each fixture in isolation and what are you What do you think is gonna happen in in each fixture? It's probably fair to say The second fiction away to City. they're likely gonna lose and likely gonna concede a couple. I mean, I th I think that's I think that's probably universal. I can't see Pallas are not fighting training in the league. They're trying to save themselves. for Europe that have just played two games previously in six days. Um, they're not gonna be all guns out blazing, you know, chucking themselves in front of the ball and going crazy like That's gonna be a c it very likely be a comfortable man City Yeah. So let's just discard that one and and give give them all one point. A minimum. Maybe maybe minimum. Maybe a say a save point for Henderson and uh Exactly. A maybe maybe deaf point. Okay. Okay. Okay, fair enough. Um Home to Everton. Probably better chance of some points. But again, like Everton have been playing well. They've been scoring goal. They've just scored three against City. Um, and they've been playing well. So I would pro if I was to guess a result, I'd probably say, bear in mind they're playing this evening. Maybe one all or I would even go as far as two one Everton. If I was to guess a result and again you look at the sort of points, can you can you see Busting a gut to keep a clean sheet against against Everton. Everton I haven't got much to play for, but they they have been playing well. And players like Enjai Chewsbury Hall. They've got some very talented players. So Um You I don't think you can risk Matata or Sar. At all because of the minutes, which they've shown they're just so heavily rotated. So you're really thinking about probably as you say, Henderson, LaCroix. Uh Moon's Um Richards, maybe Mitchell. And how many points are you gonna get off these guys? I suppose my my argument is and I think Looking at my team with limited transits but also For the rest of the season on now. You look at Arsenal's fixtures. And they're away to West Ham, home to Burnley. They will definitely be completely full strength in those games because they won't even if City lose Mid mid week. I still don't think Arthur math mathematically won the league after that Burnley game. Would I rather have Gabriel Sakan and Yocares? For those two games. Or would I rather Y you know, have LaCroix, Henderson and Moon Oz for two or three games. Definitely. Um when and also m you know, really importantly, it saves transfers, right? You can then use those transfers really aggressively going into game week seven and game week thirty eight, because like you said, Rich. I don't think we know still the landscap of of how those fixture uh fixtures. of how those teams are gonna play out because we don't know the outcomes yet. of Europe. We don't know the outcomes of the league. Like things could be very different going to game week thirty eight as to what they are now. So I think personally with all that in mind, I think if I had three or four transfers I may go for La Croix just to Cover cover it. Cover right. And then but I would definitely be spending my other couple of transfers on either Arsenal players or or or sort of looking elsewhere at at at at other ones because I think it's you know, it's badged. Double game we go all in, but if you look at the Bigger context of stuff. very probably spend two transfers and get a lot better chance of a return than this week. So that's where I'm thinking 'cause I've only got two transfers. I'm thinking of having no palace and going straight to Arsenal, um and and you know, and and going for Going for Saka. Do I fancy Saka to outscore La Croix this week? Maybe, you know, and that and that's and that's in the tab and I've already got in there for next week. If you look at if you look at what the the you know, the harb AI and we we work on expected points here on this this pod. You know, LaCroix forecast something like eight point six, I think, expected points. Saka's down in the five and a half or something. Yeah. But it there there are DEF CONs, which is something which, you know, we we do need to factor in and things, but The AI yet can't factor in the you know, ha the the kind of vibe. The vibe around the team or the You know. I mean we we can manually adjust stuff to to to try and reflect it. But we don't really want to want to do that too much because the AI is the AI, you know, that's that's where it's there for. There's no point in having the AI. manually adjust it. But the sort of viber on the team is Palestine to be very, very focused. I mean they're safe. They're focused on Europe. Um so yeah, but but I still think at the moment You haven't you haven't rushed any defenders for any game, yeah. So I think that'll likely continue. So anyway. Let's wait and see what we might get w Yeah, I think we might see something tonight. I mean it let's have a look at the minutes that each of them gets tonight. If they they're two goals ahead. They score another couple in the first half. You might see players who start tonight, you know, get Decent rest. And then I think if you know if, say, I don't know, La Croix came off after you know, fifty five minutes if SAR came off after, you know, less than an hour. If uh, you know, maybe it don't want anyone to get injured intentionally, but maybe if if one of the strikers got a knock, you know, you've suddenly got other options coming in. tomorrow like Sar might become an option that you could swap Tav Mir for this weekend if you know that Strand Larsen's gonna start against Everton, you know, you could go for that and think, you know, again if Meteta's got a knock or Meteta's plays the full ninety, you could You know, pant those. It just depends on the minutes and depends on the outcome. I mean s we're assuming, of course, that that Palace are gonna are gonna get through to the final with a home game and a two goal lead is not necessarily gonna happen, but if they do, just keep an eye on the minutes and you know, and uh and see what see what Glasner says afterwards 'cause I doubt we'll get a press conferences from him before the weekend. We'll probably just get the after interview after the tonight's game. So let's see, uh Let's see what what we learn. But yeah, I I think I'll probably just get one. 'cause I've got four transfers. That's how I feel. If you got four transfers, I think it makes sense. I I think it does. Yeah, um but interesting, I do think I'll get monitored. There's been interesting uh vibe in the chat. There's all be words like, you know, trap, all defences are dump. Apparently I missed this. Freddy said that Lazarus I said before kickoff last week that Moon Oz was coming off at half time when someone else which he did, he came off at half time. And that's the thing as well, it's Bringing players off at half at half time, um Like you know, do you do that's fantasy. What if he turns a nightmare, in it? That's absolutely on and says oh I'm bringing off LaQu and Henderson at half time you be it might be it might be their turn. You know, you then they go, Exactly, and that's it, just because it hasn't happened before, whole art as we know of fantasy football. You're trying to predict what's gonna happen, not just going to WhatsApp. That's an asset, definitely. Um interested in the poll as well. Thanks for Scott for putting a poll in. It's very early, it's only forty eight votes so far, but How many palace players will you own this week? Zero, forty two percent. Uh only one thirty two percent, two eight per cent, and three twenty per cent. Um yeah, I I mean I I I don't know, I could I I could sort of understand. I know this sounds This sounds ridiculous and probably contradicting what I've just said. I can almost understand going all three. Um just because um You know, you I know your bangs or whatever, but but you're almost going all in on a good result then. It's either It's it's either you don't think they are or you just think I'm just gonna gamble on on a on a on a clean sheet or a double clean sheet. I can understand that. I just think one, I just don't feel it's worth it. Wild carders way, if it if it swings the bench boosters way. That could be that could be a massive season over for people that played really well all season and they haven't got any palace assets and suddenly they're that makes sense. They're into thirty points from the def the the defenders, you know, the defensive triple up Hendo Cambo and La Croix put in. thirty plus points on a bench boost, you know, there's no coming back from that in two weeks. You know, so it could happen. And I think it's it's been wise to cover it if you if you had a Wild Cup. Different different story with free transfers given the the other opportunities that are out there. But what if we What if we want to go really different? I mean, there are people out there that need a bit more than this. This is template, you know, what what are we gonna do if we want to hail Mary, Fergie? Well, let's have a look. If only we had a slide with some final stretch differentials on. Oh look, we ha we actually have Rich, you've uh I like just got Jeremy Docu just like staring at me and I mean, What what a performance. Like, you know, it's it's funny 'cause When he came over, he was he It reminded me a bit of um I wanna say Sadio Marny when he was at Southampton when he first moved to Liverpool. And Alan St. Maximum at Newcastle in terms of There's a lot of trickery, a lot going on. They're incredibly skillful, incredibly, such a quick feat, but not really much going on after that. But more recently he seems to have refined that a his game and what a football and th and the two goals Rich were absolutely outstanding. They were they were Phil Foden esque in his in his prime when he used to bend them in from the edge of the area. What a play to turn into. And um yeah, would you y you know, we've talked So many a little bit and churky. If you were if you were buying a a City player this week, Rich, would it be Doku or Turkey? Well it's three percent owned, Doku. So What's that gonna do to your rank if he if he smashes it again, you know, puts in another brace over the double game week? I mean, I would certainly be looking at Doku, if I was really chasing. I mean, people talk about Cherky, but he's quite widely owned now. You know, I'd be very tempted to go for Doku. He's surely gonna keep his place. for at least one start, I think um you know probably likely to start them both, isn't he? Um given given that form. Um so yeah, I think he's really one to to pick out now. You talk to me about Richarlison. Um obviously I don't know how bad Solanke's injury is, but w Richarlison's likely to finish the season, isn't he? As in the number nine spot. I think so. I mean as a Spurs fan I love I love Rich Arlison. He's um he's what This episode is brought to you by Expedia and Visit Scotland. Start your story in Scotland.

He's one of those players, Rich, where You love him being on your team, but when he's not on your team, you absolutely hate him just because he's just he's just so He's just everywhere. He just chases he chases the defence line down. He's he plays quite, you know, ugly at times and he's just he's everywhere, but goodness me, does it go as a cause, but also when he gets an opportunity He's an incredible finisher, particularly with his head as well. So Well he kept Everton up a couple of seasons ago, didn't he? With some great goals later season. So Got experience. I I think he's a I think he's a good as a pick as anyone. I mean, I'm looking now and I can't I don't think I can get to if I want Gabrielle Saka And Yorcares, I think because of Yocharest is probably I think you start the season here like nine, nine and a half million. 'Cause he was the next sort of coming. But um Charlison I'm guessing is probably quite a bit cheaper and um Yeah, I think uh I think I think it's a decent pick. It's but uh you know, you know, especially as a differential. I mean they've got Uh, leads at home this week, which I think is quite tough. Excuse me. Um Funnily enough, I got Chelsea away next week, which Which which suddenly turn it's turned on its head in terms of Even from like, you know, a month ago it would have been oh, Chelsea absolute bank of home win all of a sudden is quite fancy spirit to go then too. do a job the way Chelsea defended more that you know more than he did. So I think it's a good option, Rich. I do think it's a good option. You won't be very highly owned. I mean, these are for people who are who are chasing you maybe got three or four transfers and they don't they just wanna go different to Yeah. Chasing a rival. They want to pick a player that you then not everybody in their league has. I d I do like Charlison. And maybe even if it's not this week, then then maybe Maybe next week or in the last two, particularly if it goes down to the wire. Now players that we do own, who I'm quite happy to own, uh with Danny Wellbeck, we've had him since Wildcard. We took on the the Calvert Lewin um masses, and I think he's only one point behind Calvert Lewin so far since the Wild Card. And now he's got the plum fixture this week with the Wolves home game. Brighton assets still look really good. Um and behind him is your boy uh your boy Hinselwood is uh who who scored last week was unlucky not to get two or three last week. Hinselwood scored he didn't third on my bench. But these guys, you know, Hitcher would still only need five point one, five point two million, maybe. And World Bank six point three, you know, these are very affordable guys. Yeah, definitely. And if you're looking to gener but generate a bit of capital for an Arsenal asset, they make they make nice combination transfers as well. Great fixture, great entry point this week. Two home games to come. Fighting for Europe. Lots to love about Brighton. Um yeah, really like really like these two. And then finally Scott put this one in. Well I gave a few a few candidates, but but Scott like Cruy, so so Crue. Keeps taking penalties off Tavanier, keeps playing seventy five, eighty minutes a week. Um seems to be getting the nod over Evan Nielsen if they they go one up front. Croupies four point six million. What an absolute Magic beam he brilliant has become. And uh and Bournemouth again, similar to Brighton, very motivated in those chase for the for the for the European spots and uh and their season is not over. So you do not have to sell your your your Bournemouth assets. You could still keep adding to them. So uh There you go. There's a few there's a few differentials for the For the running. I really I really like those rich good stuff. Um Take a look at some predicted points now and, you know, as you would expect for the rest of the season, uh, dominated by Man City's a couple of names we haven't really s spoke about, Rich. Obviously Harland is top, O'Reilly is r you know is really highly owned. Uh at No Weak Foot and FPL Hippie, both triple captain in Riley this week. I like that as a you know, as a differential. Gay is one as well, Rich. I really like Gaye and I and I'm Like I know the upside play. is always to go for to go in for Gay as a as a a second defender ahead of maybe a Cherkir or a Doku, definitely ahead of a a Samanyo personally. Um awful back pass for the Yeah, I did have a bit of a Zeberton. Oh massive massive. Yeah. But I I really like him. Uh Cherkey, Svenyo, Doku, uh, Gabrielle is still really up there. Um high And uh Kushinov and uh Nunez are also there. Then you've got your usual Bruno Saka. Um et cetera, et cetera. But yeah, I think Gay is is one we haven't really touched on. And I think he should be maybe in the conversation. He'd be a differential as well. He's got massive goal threat. Um especially off off corners and things. Um really good player. I think I think he's got something like Say like thirteen. attacking returns this season. He he got the assist for t for for Dohu's last goal with a cheeky sideways pass, but he does he does occupy that area. Um Sort of in that in that Um When they're attacking, he occupies an area sort of inside left between sort of Doku and then the midfield and attack. He does he does hover there. I keep I keep s sort of because I own him another format. Every time I get to it, I keep thinking, Go on, bend it bend in the top corner, but he alwa he always side passes it, but he's always there or thereabouts. I do I do think he's a good. He's useful. Yeah, yeah. He's been well, he's gonna be starting for England, isn't he, this summer, I would think almost uh almost definitely. Um, let's have a look now at the best wild card team and free hit team. They are very similar, uh, due to the fact obviously that there are only three games left and there's a double this week, that the best wild card team this week Triple palace defence and also double C did I we just talk about actually but It goes for Henderson, uh, and then it's a Vrabka. And then O'Reilly, uh, Gay, LaCroix. Canvo and Gabrielle, uh Bruno Fernandez, Saka and Harry Wilson. This is the wild card team. Um and then uh Harland Wellback up front with uh Gail Pedro nice uh Stack and Jusry Hall. Uh yeah. So nice looking team there, Rich, I think, in it, both uh this week and running in. I think one of the only differences really in the free hit team Is that it switches out Canvo for Moonyars. And then put uh Casemiro in the free hit team uh this this week. That's the that's the difference. I don't know what paper at the back. What percentage of people have a viral cod or a free hit left, but uh if you do, um Good luck to you. It looks good. Well yeah, this five at the back the predicted points. Defenders often really good on double game weeks. So Nothing wrong with them. They've been sc out scoring the the forward positions through most of the season, so I'm not surprised the uh Yeah, yeah, I've gone for five at the back in both formats. So yeah, I like it. I I'd I don't I'm not surprised at it at all, actually. I think it's uh It's a good uh It's a good selection. You can just see the you can just see the the points upside there, can't you? Um Peter Johns mentions Fulham fixtures, that they are decent. They they're home to Bournemouth, away to Walls and home to Newcastle, Fulham and they've still got a chance of Europe as well, he says. So just to remind us, um of that as well, which is which is a good point. It's can't can't really get excited about Fulham. Um Yeah, just uh you know, up up and down immediately, but otherwise. Each of these, you know, if you have still got a big chip left, like a free hit or a wild card. I if I was using one. I would go more differential than this at this stage. You know, I would it it it would be the ownership across most of these players is It's just a bit too high for my liking, given three weeks to go. That would make sense in an observation I've had some of those guys that we had on the previous slide. I'd throw two or three of them in there. just to to have players that nobody else owns. I mean Saka is still only like nine percent owned. by the time we get to the Burnley fixture that'll be like thirty, thirty five, so Um Get him now if you can. And uh and and and and have just mix it up a little bit if you've got a well colour. Um talking about one week pants, um, Fergie is a punt uh for game week thirty six, and I would put this player in a free hit team this this this week, I think, just based on what I saw last week and the opposition. Um so Uh, this player um he's Being aside most of the season, uh, seven goals, five assists, plenty of attacking threat. He's playing in a very attacking position recently, um, mainly due to the fact that um His compadres, Um, Ekatike and Salah in particular and and you know, you know, Esau sort of in and out of the team. Um, but Cody Gakpo of Liverpool. Likely play. Either up front or probably on the left hand side, depending on whether they give uh Youngster chance on the left hand side, but it's the fixture I like, Rich. I'm sorry to say home to Chelsea at the moment is a is a bit of a banker. And uh I think I think that Cody Gappo could Could get a return or two. this this week against Chelsea. What do you uh what do you think about that? is yeah, I think uh it's it's a fixture that not many people are looking at because they're not really looking at Limicall at the moment. You know, we haven't mentioned any Liverpool players in any of the picks. No. The the form has been a bit, you know, up and down to say the least. But Chelsea. Shocking. Absolutely shocking. Especially defensively. And uh away to Liverpool. I mean, I think last last season, obviously Liverpool beat everybody last season, but this fixture was about five one or something or five and it was a thrashing. It was an absolute thrashing. Thrashing I can't see I can't see Ch uh Chelsea getting a result of the weekend. Uh they'll just be getting through that game to Think about the cup final, trying not to get injured, I think. This is it. So yeah. Good punt, mate. Um Ice Ice G says uh he's got three attack and returns. in his last four and uh Freddy quite right, Liverpool and Chelsea should have goals. Neither team can defend. Does that mean we hold on to our Chelsea assets just for one more? We're gonna hold them into the summer this week, Reeve. We be we take them all day with us in our No suitcases. flag anymore for me, that's for sure. Yeah. Uh, just before we move on uh to uh Rich's part, we've the poll is finalised for Palace players and Forty four percent of of the chat are not gonna own any palace players. Uh good for crazy, crazy stuff. Um and uh oh it's just gone. It's just gone. Thirty it's gone. Uh thirty two will own one. Seventeen percent uh will own three and seven percent will own two. So I'll say seventy six percent of the game. Well own either none or one. I tell Rich, I wouldn't be that scared of that. I I I would You if you if you can think about that and I think what what are you hoping for, LaCroix. If you had a good week, what's he gonna get? Eight, nine points, is it really worth a transfer? You can just get in a sacca or someone else. I I don't think I'm too scared about that, so I don't think I'll be going for any uh Palace players. Uh Rich against the machine. This is where uh he tries to beat the AI. Rich, who's your pick this week? Yeah, I'm I'm targeting a fixture that's not one of the double game week uh guys. We've talked enough about them. I'm looking at um a Brighton player, uh, who I have owned, uh and had uh Pretty much the wrong side of uh wrong side of the fortunes when I uh I owned him. And he didn't start despite uh some of the experts out in the community predict that he would. However he came on I think against Spurs and scored an absolute cracker of a volley. Um, it's back in the side and I think when you when we come to put the fixtures up and the predicted goals, I think Brighton o over a single fixture have the highest expected goals this week, uh against Wolves. Um and it's uh three point five predicted points stuck out to me as pretty low and my My uh Rich against the machine pick this week and I'm on a bit of a roll, Virgie. I picked Jocares last last week and uh Caru Caru Mitoma this week. Uh with only three and a half points. I think you might have to have a look at that and uh I think it's his minutes by the weekend. Yeah. Let me have a look now at his at his minute. I think he'll I think he'll exceed that this week. He only has to get four points to exceed that, so I think. Yeah. Thanks. Thanks, mate. Four returns in a row, Rich. Flying. Uh yeah, we've got Matoma down for sixty minutes. So yeah, probably now he's back in the team. injury I will that up a touch. Let's just see what he comes in at now. uh seventy six now when you when when we uh when we do the auto, but which is probably a bit more realistic than sixty. So pict one out there, Richard. I like I like this section because you you it's like a Q C on my on my job as well. So it's uh it's very, very useful. Well I've got a hunt for value. The value exactly Exactly that. Uh good stuff. Let's have a look at the captain for game week thirty six. There'll be lots of triple captain ships flying around. Uh probably fair to say Harland is the obvious pick here, but you know, we have had some people in the chat saying they're gonna triple captain Oh, Riley, Rich, what are your thoughts on Captain T this week? Uh well it's gotta be Harland really, unless you wanna do you know, a massive Hail Mary. I mean it it it's ninety eight percent or something that people are gonna go with Harland this week is uh way out in front with the the the predicted points. But again if you are just thinking, look, I don't want to go the same as everybody else, so I'm not interested in coming. a millionth, I'm I might as well I might as well go for it than then do it. You know, O'Reilly's as good a shout as any. I'd be more tempted to maybe go with Cherky or Doku or something like that. A real bring in a really low owned player and captain him 'cause O'Reilly's ownership is still pretty high. But over the two games O'Reilly should get something 'cause of his uh attacking promise. So yeah, I do like uh Raleigh he's probably gonna be second best choice. Good stuff. Um yeah I I haven't got anything to Are they really Take your pick then over h over you fancy between Cherky, Doku. Um Gay he's a shout, I think still, you know, I keep I keep Bang around the body but he uses a shout and then O'Reilly. I like it. Um there's one one thing to say it was about this time last year that's um that Mateta got a twenty nine point. You remember that last season was twenty nine over double game week? It was, yeah, that was goodness me. Don't say that. So well he has got a double game week. So if you really want a differential, then you never know. So uh yeah, no, Mateta got an absolutely huge I don't think anybody captured him, maybe somewhere. But uh yeah you know, if you wanna go really big you could go for a Palace player on a double game. FPL Freddie thinks that uh Harlan's gonna have over two hundred percent EO this week. So yeah, just just just be aware. It would never discourage anyone from from going against Harlan, but just be aware that if you if he if you're uh you know, Punt doesn't go off and Haaland does go off. It's bye bye season. But it'll be worth it for some people's cases. Um looking now um at the goal uh and clean sheet projections. Look at Man City, Rich. They're projected to score what's that four? That's five points. Two four over the two games goal. That is double game week fever. That is finest. We don't normally see even a double that projection. That is crazy. Um and clean sheets as well, thirty five percent. against Brentford and forty four against Palace. So Some crazy, crazy numbers there from I see. And we and we're stuck with bloody Samenio and you've got all these incredible options. But this keeps happening. Hasn't this been the season? Player you sell. not injured. If you sell a player who's not injured 'cause it's a lux transfer or you're a bit bored, they bang the week after you sell them. Well because all the violin moments for next week when people said oh I sold Smenyo for Cherky and Cherky went off injured after twenty minutes and Samenyo got Two goals and assist over the three games. It is just what happens. Absolutely. You know, but just sort of let's say, Oh, but he's you know, he's gone a bit quiet, it's getting That's exactly what happens when you you sell him, move him to someone else, the player you buy does nothing and the player you could have kept that smashes it. And that's happened to me, well, to me personally a dozen times this season. So I just think I'm just gonna play him. If he he's not injured. If you got injured, you've got you've gotta play. Yeah, absolutely. Um interestingly, as you mentioned, Richard, Brighton top four the in the in the single, two point six four goals. Yeah, and also a forty poor cent chance of a clean sheet. And um Uh, Villa with a pretty decent chance of a cleet. a way to Burnley and Arsenal against uh West Ham as well. But it's all about Man City this week and getting your three in. don't have three, you've got a lot of different options there, superb stuff. Uh, Rich, we've got your team up ahead of game week thirty six. You want to talk us through it and your thoughts on plans? I'll um I'll read it out for the benefit of those who are listening. Um, so I have my three Brighton assets coming back in after being benched last week, so for Bruggan in Gold. Um I have O'Reilly, Gabrielle and At the minute, Hill is starting at the back for me. Um, and then in the midfield, Somenyo, who we just mentioned, Bruno Fernandez. Palmer, but this is pre transfers, uh, and Pascal Gross, who who was great during the double game week. Up front we've got Harland Captain, Wellbeck and Jal Pedro. Now On the bench, I've got Taverner as an option and and Strouk. So gotta bench somebody. Um Based on based on last week's performances, I'd bench Palmer. Um despice. Despite his value. Um, I'd probably play Jel Pedro ahead of him. Think so. Um if if uh If that was the case. So I'm interested to see what the the AI has told me to do with my four transfers. So why why don't we have a look at that and then we'll discuss what I might do. So if look at that. Oh my goodness. That's an absolute All in. All in on crystal of activity. It recommends I completely empty my wallet. And my transfer bank it gets much in line with the thing. Absolutely spaff my spaff everything on on three palace defenders. So Stroch out for Uh hill out for La Croix. Goodmanson who's injured out for Camvo and Palmer for Declan Rice for the fifteenth time this season. Declan Rice, what an exciting pick. There we are. It just loves du it just loves double game weakers, doesn't it? It absolutely does and if you if you look at the actual uh points in isolation, it is projecting them all to score sort of Point E to wherever it is. So it does it does kind of make sense. Um but uh But yeah, if you want your own recommended transfers or shoveling in Palace players this this week. uh make sure you sign up to fancy football hub. Uh for seven day free trial, but Rich, it doesn't sound like this is the way you're gonna go this this week. But we will remember it ahead of next week. Look at it, look at it, look at the look at the team now. If I apply those transverses, it looks just like the free hit or the wild card. Tell you what, there's some points potential turkey in there over over some, but other than that, it's pretty much the wild card team. So I could do it and just trust it. Well, the AI knows what it's doing. Load up on Palace, no hits. Let's see what happens. But no, I mean I'm not gonna want those palace guys in game me thirty seven and thirty eight. I'm I'm gonna w and I'm gonna wanna do something else in the last two weeks. Not quite sure what it is yet. So so what I'm likely to do isn't gonna surprise anybody. I'm gonna Cell Palmer. Uh, for Saka. I haven't done it yet. I know the prices have changed this week, but I don't think this is the week for early transfers given that. value of them and the the press conference news and the games we've got tonight. I am going to Palmer to sack it almost definitely. Uh I am likely to maybe buy one Crystal Palace player. I will sell Drouk. Probably for Lacroix. Uh, as I think he's just the safest Palace option. don't go for a Palace Defender or are I go for um Pedro out to Yocares, which I have the money to do. I could spend a third transfer, but I'd only be able to afford Can though, then instead of Le Croix. So that's an option I've got to spend three this week and just get a Palace Defender. In case they clean, in case they get DEF CONs. And I just have that I spend very little money on that move, but just cover it to to an extent and that would still give me Two free transfers for next week, but I would have my three Arsenal assets on board for the for the Burnley fixture. Give me the choice to spend them both or roll one or whatever. And and and I might do that. So I'm gonna spend two or three Uh, most most definitely spend two, uh, possibly three, and I'm only gonna have a max of one palace asset. What you think? Yeah, I know I I like it. I think uh I think the only thing I I I would think about Rich is something you you touched on last week and you mentioned it before we before we went live as well, is that you know, you know, you really want two transfers going to the final game week of the season, but I j I just feel with all the permutations we talked about earlier, you know, where you could end up with Arsenal reserves against Paris reserves, you could end up with with all sorts of different things. going on. And For me the real upside, particularly with Arsenal. If you think of the upside that you can benefit from from one transfer or two transfers in game week thirty eight. Away to West Ham and home to Burnley now are probably is probably the most high upside uh set of two fixtures you could have and Arsenal are playing well. Those two sides are not playing well. I just feel like you could probably Have a you know. probability of of a really good return because if you think about the player talking about as well, Saka and Yakares. Both. comparatively very low owned at the moment. And I would be tempted in your shoes to kind of go all in on it this week. So people will be scrabbling to get them next week when you're boo, you've already got them. You're already thinking about your neck your next move. You can tidy up somewhere else or bring someone in ahead of the curve else, you know, elsewhere almost. So I suppose that's my only thing is these two fixtures are about as good as it get. They're the best two remaining fixtures in a row. Very likely getting I there's a slight havest risk potentially on Yachar S. I'm not I mean yeah, I mean I don't know but You're guaranteed a penalty take if get if you get 'em both as well, because you know, you could bring in Sakhley to get a penalty, Yokarish could take it, for example, or vice versa. So That's my only sort of input I would give is Yeah, I think you've encouraged me to to just do it. It's more exciting than just buying defenders, isn't it? As well. And uh, you know, it's it it it's not it's not unique. It's not, you know, going out there with Rich Charlison or Doku or anything like that, or crazy like that. But it's it's uh It's a it's a decent still got some decent, you know, return upside if you do it now. And and I will kick myself if Gris scores another brace this weekend against West Ham and think I could have bring him in and I'm still holding all because it it's you know, I I might just wait, you know, I'm not the rank I want to be. I think if you're in the top ten K, buy Saliba. You know, yeah. That's not the move to make though, is it, if you're chasing, you know, if you want something more, you know. I don't think so. And uh no, I think I think I think I do it, Rich. And I think because you've got the transfers, I think I'm in a I'm in a different boat because I've only got two. So I'm quite sure what I can do, but you've got four. I wouldn't say to use all four. But you could use three, put yourself in a great spot for this week and next week. And still have a transfer or two next week and maybe have a transfer or two in Game of the Yeah, I just mean it's all there for you laid out for me. We'll see. Yeah, they want you to do. Uh looking at my team, um, so I've got uh the Bruggen in goal. Currently I've got O'Reilly, Double Bournemouth defence, uh Semeno, Bruno, Palmer, Hinshorewood. Arland, Walbeck, and Jal Pedro, and I've got Tavanier. and two leads defenders and Darl actually on the bench. I've got two free transfers and the AI again, he just loves the old uh Palace defenders. So it's uh advising me to sell Senese and Bogle for Laquara and Campbell. Again, if you look at N isolation over one week, the points the points are probably there, but looking forward. Um, I mean I don't have Gabrielle, which uh I'm not probably not that bother against against Waw West Ham, but early fixture, I just think goodness me. So Um. I think I mean that's another transfer, isn't it? You've got to This is it. I'm gonna I'm gonna have to have at least Gabriel against Burnley. Probably gonna want at least Saka or wherever else as well. So I think is a bit different for me. Um And I tried to do this in the week but it didn't I I didn't have enough money, so I But I'm sure I'm sure it's fine, but I think the two transfers probably gonna do this week is take out Palmer. And Uh Bogle, I think. Um And bring in Gabrielle, who who I know I'm gonna need. And Saka, you know, I think I think um I I I think I I think I've got a lot of upside already with Hinshore wood. For example. Um So yeah, get on sa on on Saturday. It d it it does mean that can't get to Yakar S in game thirty seven in one move. W which is a pain, but then haven't taken a hit for a long time. And if it looks incredibly likely that Yakarish is gonna start against Burnley, are not massively averse taking a hit in game week thirty seven to get another sort of, you know, chess piece in place potentially for game at thirty seven and thirty eight elsewhere within my team to release over two weeks. Exact exactly that. So that's kind of roughly what Thing I've not not ideal to take a hit. But on the same note, I don't really mind it because I'll know By this time next, we're gonna know a lot more around, you know, Villa, Palace, Arsenal. And you know, and and how and and how they in the different um I could even do ceno to Turkey, which would release the funds to do Joe Pet. It sounds very sideways, but that is a that is a move I could do. of the season. Um and yeah, it was a really good point. And and this is what I was looking at. This is what I was looking at. Uh at Wiger Wales. So why don't you take out Senesse instead of Bogle then? And I think it's because I'm then naught point one short. That's that's what I was looking at in the week. If I took Sinessi out. I would still be 0.1 short then of doing Joe Pedro to Yocar S um this week for a hit or next week. So I'm not gonna I'm not gonna take a hit this week because the the you know the West Ham fixture, West Ham are fighting for their lives and I do think Arsenal will win, but I don't think they're gonna route West Ham. Away. Um, I think I'll win maybe sort of one nil or or s or something like along those lines. But that Burley game could be Absolute bloodbath. Well I'll I'll wait to see how Yokarest minutes plays out. Um And then we'll see. So So yeah, reasonably sort of Happy there. Um But yeah, that that is it for us for This week. It feels like we haven't been on very long, but we have been on for an hour, an hour and ten, but really really enjoyed that. Chat there, Ish. I think it was one of our better ones, hopefully, for everyone. Yeah, good. Good luck if you're triple captioning. Just don't go too mad. Don't go too much. Good luck if you're bench boosting. Don't go too mad. A few uh a few a few no shows to pay back the uh the gel pedro absence would be would be fair, wouldn't it? I think uh I think there's definitely gonna be some violent moments next week. I think Scott, you're gonna be inundated with I can't believe La Croix was benched. Then he came on, got an assist, and then went off with a hamstring. And I think there's gonna be all sorts going on this uh on the on this on this weekend. Um they're playing aren't they on the Wednesday night, I think. So when we're pod on the Thursday, we will have We will have the full the full scope of of how it all of how how how it all unfolded, but Yeah, thank you uh so much to everyone um who joined in the chat.
