And if you're lucky a b recommendation before we do our game week seven round up here is the quiz questions. Alan Shearer is one of five gallons to have managed in the Premier League. Can you name the other four? Okay, right. Okay. I know I know two of the top of my head. All right, exactly. You can think of to very quickly Connie. Yeah. Anyway, I thought I'd start the show with some nice good Allen and on. Okay, right. There's do our game week seven around up. Yes, indeedy. Let's start singing from the same song sheet as they Banger and massive score line to the tune of 5-nil against Newcastle Miller Voyage scores his 1 million pronounces the eagle share the canaries who's boss Spurs do their best to win but no wind but then do win but then do win walls of our Watford in the relegation 6.0 City we In shock for with the hoping they will soon be king of the best of the rest battles, but we're Sam slow them down with a draw and it but With a Little Help from Henderson. No, no that one sneaker win passive rather sturdy shopping night Inside Man United and Arsenal prove that they are rubbish and should be put in the bin and we'll I never Chelsea as you keep a clean sheet at home against Brian with Hudson and boy coming on and making an assist of himself. Five clean season for you at 5 Liverpool. Chelsea Palace wolves Lester sis King was Kevin De bruyne her with to assisting the fenders Ika Evans Coleman Peters Loughton lutein. Lotin lotin brother's name is Angela Burr Gold Kings, Jamie vardy with two girls. Groan Defenders meet with Carlo Dodd Seacrest. Well own goals young man jumper and red cards that Bloody back when it REI. This week's top performing players across FBI and draft is dirty Ricardo VAR D. Just kicking and fan tracks. Well, that's the same but Mara is the top layer there Marius some stats for you. Now start all eagerness. OSHA is now officially worse than Jose Mourinho many not have one just 49 points in their 28 Premier League games under ogs that's to fewer than they did in the final 2800. That Joe's a oh another stat for you. Let's just win against Newcastle was the biggest margin of victory in a top-flight games since 1987 and Jamie vardy now has 14 goals in 17 appearances under Brendan Rodgers. Wow, another stat because I Osaka is the youngest player to ever start in a Premier League match between man United's and our snow. It was quite good one in ninth that sucker. Yeah it was Good. He really showed up Pepe. I think Pepe is not looking great as a Pepe. I think he could be doing that sort of pretend to be George. Where's cousin thing 72 million pounds worth of yeah. Doesn't this week's top performing players in full for fpo and draft. We got the goalkeepers white aperture shio. Defenders Daugherty Ricardo Evans Midfield 11-point, Georgina leads a whole host of ten pointers and forwards VAR D. Josh King ings and P4. Tracks Nathan goalkeepers are the same in defenses is saying but vvd makes an appearance Midfield Mara's actually leads chill jinyo with Anderson and indeed. He also sneaking in there and then the forwards VAR D is closely challenged by Raheem Sterling. Hmm. It's not massive differences in okay, right for players of the past five weeks is the average points not including bonus points gray arrow is still the most informed player closely followed by KD Ian salla other that is no real big surprises. You can work out those for yourself things. We learn from game weeks 7 gentlemen. I think you mentioned it before Nathan Nicholas Pepe. Mmm-hmm interesting game. So it's 2 million zero chances created one shot on target get one fell committed. There's a positive not one successful take on 77% pass accuracy. That is not good. Is it Nate? No kind of he looks a bit like a competition when he reminds me of when I used to play Pub football used to get this kid that would turn up and he'd be really quick like looked like he could be a decent player, but would insist in playing in his tracksuit bottoms. Is that kind of player track sebum player and will mean I'm sure you want to talk about something else. But hey, that's talk about Spurs and that seven wonderful. It against me unit. You were there. I mean, it feels embarrassing to say it was 7 to Alpha dot 712 feel like I-71 it felt like a hammer in. Yeah. It was I left at five two five two nine. Obviously. I mean my five to it was a Scott just am really formulated my thoughts and it's all a bit of raw. I've actually block somebody on Twitter because they started trolling me and I was like, I'm not having this but Serge gnabry was pretty tasty wasn't he? Nathan another one vanga deemed not good enough. Yeah, he's one of the whole host of players at the moment that were under Arsenal. You've got better sir AC Milan at the moment. We've got a few others donyell melon at PSV as well or performing well in the let go in the latter days of vanger but gonna be standing out to be fair. He couldn't even get in the West Brom team when he's on loan there on the pool are so he's obviously has turned around his game. He looked absolutely deadly. Last night he has look like that for Germany last few games as well. Yeah, I think that's what happens when you go and play under a proper coach, isn't it? Yeah. Ouch meow. It's awesome meal type of Ralphie. Yeah. So we'll what is the big issue with Spurs at the moment there was talking did you see this thing go on the internet about Erickson of the tongue having dingdong because for tongue and wanted to dingdong his wife and stuff that even though he's not married if you heard about that. I don't pay attention to those two Twitter rumors. And now I just look I think the team as I said started really well, we would we were cutting through buying yesterday for the first 25 minutes. Then we kind of run out a bit of steam but Ali was playing. Well, you know and down below was playing while since zoko was playing passes that were like, I don't think he could play at came played lovely pass out wise our ears get involved. We didn't take our chances Saint had more than he scored once but he could have scored twice before that and Don Blake could have scored we used to when we were good. We used to really press and overwhelm a team and we're not doing that at that moment. What kind of having a little bit of a good period not overwhelming them? They then were playing good quality teams, obviously, you know buying them turn up and score a couple of goals and then it's difficult for us and then we kind of start the second half on the back foot chase in the game and seven to obviously goals changed matches. So when you've got when you're down chasing the game Who thrown on more attack Plays and take them off defensive players in the whole team is pushing up the pitch trying to get a goal. Obviously leave yourself open for X Arsenal winners to come on and score in the ferris in amount of goals. So we'll is there a very briefly is this is this a long-term problem was it's just a freak result. Well, we won't be playing Bayern Munich every week. So I think the result is slightly a freak results, but there is an underlying problem. There is I think partially to get into the TV need to get the team working together. He needs to get everyone fit on the same page playing as a unit playing as a unit for 90 minutes, not for 20 minutes here and there so he's got a lot of work to do over the the international break and the coming matches. Yes, indeed Nathan again. I think it's known that I've got soft spot for Spurs as well. And I feels like the end of the line for this team at the moment. I think Ali like will mention had some good did some good things in the first 20 minutes or so, but is The Priory was two years ago and I think is struggling to find his proper position because he's not really a number 10. I like him as a number eight and I like him as a striker but he's not really played in either of those positions for a while for Spurs. And then Serge aurier just is walking liability is great fun. Isn't he's great fun. I'll never mind a so we're all selling Spurs players and definitely not buying them then and that's it right there. So have a look at the FPL. Zolt will how did you get it on your FB LT result this week fine above-average. I've got actually not Bank on average 51 points. I had that wonderful Spurs fullback search area in my team who got himself sent off and a minus 2 and this is this follows a game week where he had a goal, you know happens Spurs are the only time you could be tuned up and end up losing to one certain area. A perfectly good goal disallowed because Sons armpit hair was combed the wronged away or small whatever and that was a 14-point swing, you know, it's like suddenly he's gone. We're going to need a lot more got a clean sheet. I've got bonus points coming areas why I've got a goal and then they lose 2-1 to Lester and now we get sent off so I'm not happy about that. So 51 points. I had Abraham up front. He missed three big chances. I'm not happy about that last week agüero ms5. Big chances against Watford. It just feels like I've got the players to do well and it's just not happening for me at the moment. You can put them out on the pitch, but you can't make him play. That's how it works isn't it? So in contrast to your fpr result will our team podcast result we did. All right, we did 67 points last week, but this week we did 69. So I'm going up there like you said, well the average $50 points. Yeah. Cause we had an extra transfer in the bank. We traded out Pookie for Tammy Abraham who was equal points written lose anything there, but our main transfer was trading out. So by us. Thank God for mcginn who repaid our faith by scoring not just once but twice but having one choked off and that right now. Yeah happy days we chose salla as aye captain, but we could have maxed out by selecting Ricardo Pereira of Leicester. Of course. Course that would have been tasty think I did suggest that but I was laughed out the door our defensive schmeichel Ricardo Robertson Trent and a cave got an assist for form one again contributing 36 points are tiny and there's a tasty Defiance not sure but can we Kate though? Mmm. We've risen from eight hundred and twelve thousand five hundred thirty. Nine to you ready for this nay. Yeah. I'm ready. 318,000 513 add you like them apples taste. The tasty apples we discussing our change of again. We came part 3, of course, right the high scoring Affair manager for gaming 7. Yeah. Congratulations venomous Brian a Greyjoy of Ghana whose team vipers sting amassed a fantastic a hundred eighteen points. Call me a cynic but venomous Broiler Greyjoy sounds like a made-up name to me perhaps an algorithm do those things exist. Maybe maybe he's a Russian. Option bot and I shouldn't bar or just a massive Game of Thrones fan he or she and mass those points by the way by having diet e VAR d k DB and captaining Harry Kane and Patricia and goal. Now he or she is up to a whopping six million six hundred forty five thousand seven and forty eight. I think very much a one-off. Maybe just a one-off. Yeah the top FBI manager overall. Congratulations again to Egypt's finest. Matt hat sure cave while Legend yes, four remaining to the table after squeezing out 41 points this week. So I'm not the greatest below average now only sitting Four Points clear with the type of 530 with who's hot on his heels Nathan another Egyptian guy. No, it's David Crowley of the USA. USA USA. Yeah. All right. I got some team names will you? If everyone Tunes in the wrong time, we're going to come across as the complete didn't podcast a dozen team names for you. Now. Will your like these slam-dunk Van Dyke? So I'm asking about you. I don't get you don't have to enjoy just have to react dunk Van Dyke. I don't get what's it mean. It's amazing to be Slam Dunk the Funk but slam-dunked Van Dyke. I just thought it was so bad. I put it in there. Well done Derek smeath another team. They central heating. Yeah, that's good. All right, Dan Carter another one egg fried rice. No, it's not Premier League. The ironic thing is that Royce in certain parts of the country. That would be correct. Wouldn't it? Yeah, Kathy Walsh. Well done Navy got a name and I've got one from Jack Riley dick and Dom belly. He's yes. Okay. Well good. I like those. I think those become my whole that the become my favorite thing of the whole show. There's names. Hey guys listeners FPL players. If you want to join our league, it's up and running if you just go to our Twitter page ultimate F pods, you'll find the little codes. I'm going to put it to each other but just going to go join join the ranks. Yes. Okay draft fantasy. Now we'll look. I know you played your fantasy as well. But our draft League this week was party to the worst transfer ever made in the history of life. Will do you want to know what this is? I mean, you won't be able to guess right there. Just no tell me play. Okay Rushford, right? Yeah bear in mind. He was injured. This is into team transfer. Yeah, Bashford. for Greenwood Scary, isn't it? Yeah, right. It's basically man is on the receiving end of that. It's a basically manners had rash food manners is top of the league by complete luck. He's in Russia gets injured. So we think so just ship them out and see contacts my mate. You just picked up green words. They have the fries been out the fries because no one wants him because it's a million Strikers better than that, right? And it's goes off swap. Be rash for Greenwood. Has that happened? What a lovely man. This is a nice man. He's not he's a fool. He's a full I tell you never mind. So anyway, that's good certain a that means you're off the hook for bad transferred dealings with your Bernarda silver thing. That's true. But I've done the analysis and bananas silver wouldn't have changed any more results so far. No because you've got an awful sighs. Yeah, and that speaking of that and have you got finally got found out this week. You're And grabs a finally come to an end. Although you did actually put in a decent point to return the Lost fifty four fifty. Yeah. Yeah. That wasn't good. I mean actually I did another bad transfer took out why no Adam this week. Oh he did didn't you those points would have got me over the line, but he done anything and you always risk taking them out. And this is how it works. Exactly. I had a pretty decent. Wait didn't I here we go, I want us 176 234 76 yeah. Yes. Thank you Ricardo VAR D Perez Trent. I gambled on Hudson ndoye got an assist and I drafted into pliers just for this game we quiet and you'll Bert collectively got me 14 points Jill Bergman assist those quite lucky, but that was nice wasn't it a but? Yeah, my team is all about the defense. I'm not sure going to be Kate's defense. Friendly, actually, Tommy Gunn who the people might know beat League leader and all-around apparent participant manners to kinda go Rushville away and looking at a table entry enough the team that has Sterling in our league actually is Rock Bottom. Yeah, that's where what a waste of a player. I'm third and Player points as head of the secret journalists and they languishing in ninth. Yeah big changes to come to your team. No, I've given up already know my team's been getting better, but the results just on reflecting it and you like what you've seen in the training field. All right fair enough. I really thought I was going to win this week. I'd looked at it covered my bases got my points and then just see if Luke today then you've got smashed and grabbed. Hmm. Well in terms of your draft leagues are there. Plays on your League's waiver. You're thinking a gambling on all I've had I've got three draft teams at to head to heads and one classic and I had two victories this week and a green arrow my plastic. So I'm very happy with my teams. They're all doing particularly. Well, I had had one album in one team great. He scored had your fantastic Lester fall back at another to so yeah, Happy Days. All right, so the game week 8 head to the fixtures. In our league, it's my turn this week to go against Benny peonies. Barmy Army, which of course includes my name again Erickson and potentially been mende the player. I carry throughout last season would be ironic wouldn't it? Nathan? You're up against Tommy Gun? Yeah another podcaster be another podcast. Are you got a great record I'm to from to in those that are looking to Tommy Gun, of course gambled massively on Pepe and set bios. I'm sure he's happy. He's gambled. Oh dear. Can I just say in my other draft League? Just so people this see that I do know what know about that. I am actually top and what and beep second place this weekend. This so-called other league. There is his top grow cots Northern torture room. Yeah. Is that a friend of yours? Yeah delightful. Well, I've got a Question for you both. Okay. No. No. I have a question for you about about players and transactions in this 14 Team league. Obviously. It's very hard to get players. So one thing I've found myself doing is signing players who are injured in the hope that you know, they're good players and when they come back they'll do well. So like I signed Troy dealy last week for Shane long because Shane Long's just not really playing and I figured I'd rather have an injured dealing so that when he comes back he could do something but what about players like Emerson and stones? And Trust are would you be getting them in now? If you if you can Harvest sorry if you can Harbor the players, it's always worth it. I got Hudson and dying from day one. And another one is obviously right Ruben lost his cheek a lot of these players. I have a lot of credit in the bank so you can trade them just before they come back from injury because people want want to be on that so it's always worth it's always worth getting them in isn't it? Yeah. We've got a player in our league who's got that as a Jay he had a six in trees at one point carrying Bel-Air in holding Tierney and a few others as well. Yeah, he's got Allison mid Liverpool midfielder. What's his name now Decatur every K, but basically but he's basing his whole game plan on having these players and the potential what they can do in the hope. They can trade them off. So it's not bad idea. Do we do it Troy deeney is not speakers speaking of speaking of holding you provide. Did we did did David Seaman ever play in the same team as Rob holding High Why well, it's a great teammate because you can have a team name. Then you can have the Defenders hold him to keep his semen so childish photos, but I like it. I like it fact David sieben, ironically good at keeping clean sheets. All right there. Okay, right. That's the that thank God that's the end of part one. We've drilled on enough. Don't forget you Ted Us Ultimate if pod just to say stuff don't go anywhere part 2 is coming up in part two. We'll be speaking to Tommy Gun be talking of whole bunch of nonsense and very excited to announce. We have fpr veteran Matt Kenny in our tactics track matte finish. With the top 3000 last year and constantly finishing highly and he's here to answer your questions. Don't go anywhere. I've got one Tony gone. Why did the chicken cross the road? It feels awesome to see The Village Idiot. Knock knock who's there the chicken welcome to part two earlier on I caught up with Tommy Gun to briefly discuss a whole bunch of nonsense, including how much draft Gamble and pepe and Sebelius is working out and also that Burnley call. Tommy Gunn, how are you? I'll say how's it going mate you okay? I'm great. I'm on the back of a seventy six point hauler this week showing off, isn't it? I mean, it's it's a bit obscene. But you won again two weeks in a row me I won again two weeks in a row. What was good was the Marez Link up. I was much maligned for picking him because he was actually available on the fries at the end of last season. Remember he was just floating about nobody even wanted him but I think he was like a fifth or sixth round pick and I just thought he will get the odd game and he's just worth having it in your locker. I'm sure enough the burn core of Gone Forever back three, which comprises Loughton me Taco, you know on its day it basically means you've got Circa twenty points there. Then you just need one goal from Midfield and you're probably over the line. That's it this talk about your Midfield because the beginning of the season in our draft you well you can but on Pepe and so bios, but that isn't going to play and I mean it's performance peppe's performance on Monday did left a lot to be desired as it were he was he was awful. I mean it was like watching a course wasn't that I mean he was He just he just dunked the ball about you ran about he just kicked it. Just randomly. I mean, he was awful. He was my first round pick. He was like I could have coffee I could have gone for I think about me I had already gone. I think Dow was down in front of me. My daddy wasn't about me and was there. Oh my God, and I went Pepe first pick because I just I was just so caught up in the excitement of a new plan. I just thought this is the guy so by us I think was nobody was really talking about it. Nobody really like knew anything about him early doors. So I think he was like fifth or sixth round something like that. I just thought I'll have him because I know a little bit about him. He's not really done anything yet that one game where your to assist that weren't really assist. You just took two corners and they happen to sort of scrambling and a goal moving forward with your drafting then is this is the Pepe Cerberus experiment you're going to stick with it or you can look to trade out or just hang on and hope they come good I've had managers. Sniffing around Pepe, so that tells me that other people are as deluded as I am because other people want to be their team obviously, but you know, why do you want it? Why would anybody want pepper at the moment because he is playing very badly, but it's going to be it's got to be something. He's a 75 million pound plates got to do something. He's got to get it's got to be better than this. I think we've got to run a relatively easy fixtures as well coming. I was the easy run of you know, perhaps winnable fixtures and it just needs to be on the pitch and doing stuff. But I've just think stick with it apart from the yield waivers and your transfers, but I'm not because I've been sucked in by other managers too soon in the past and I've lost my good players early doors and then there's no way back from that. So, you know two out of two. We're on a trend we got Bernie playing at home next weekend, you know anything could happen. Let's bring it on right there might have a good game. We will speak to you again soon. Okay, love is that kid? That was Tommy Gun. Of course always a pleasure Nathan you're facing that burn called this week of Tommy Gun. Are you scared? No, I'm good. Take him down. It's quite a jovial chappy won't be next week right now. We're going to go tactics truck and I'm late. Like I said, I'm pleased to announce FPL veteran Matt Kenny AKA bowstring the carp. Joins us matte finished within the top three thousand last year a hundred twenty six the year before that and he always finishes quite high and this lad knows his apples and that's why he's here to answer your question. Welcome to the Ultimate Fantasy podcast Matt Kenny. Hello. Hello, is it Kenny? Okay. Annie said right. Yeah, you can call me Connie Connie if they go under okay a bowstring the carp, of course as people would know you by now. You're an FPL stalwart a bit of a veteran as it were with some top-level finishes and you finished within the three thousand last season. Yeah just around the 3000 Mark last season and about 120 forever around after previous season, so Few years has been good to me. That's very modest first thing you and how's your wife plc's and going thus far terrible some fun great to really bad. But yeah, I think a lot of people are kind of having a bad season this season. It's for kind of very slow to start off. I think have you got the players you want. Yeah. So, um some unhappy with some not so happy with some of our injured actually a lot of a lot of them are injured or suspended up. And so hopefully that takes up over the next of the next couple of weeks as I say that's football. Exactly. Absolutely so talking about man says you've got a question for you from one of our listeners and it's from acts Bry will spawn to seven given Kevin De bruyne will be injured and Bernardo Silver's looking to be suspended. What are the main city Midfield options looking like at the moment? Yeah. It's quite interesting now because obviously Sterling Has kind of gotten his rest recently. So you'd expect sterile and to be quite safe for the moment, especially where Gabrielle Jesus is coming back into the soil that definitely put to grow well under a little bit of risk at the moment, but I think most interest and Lee Riyad mahrez could be quite a good option now going forward, you know, I've got an international break coming up. I think bernero silver has the FAA has to has low gamma from for Just to kind of give his thoughts to the FAA, you know, whether he himself guilty or not. So decision may be made over the international break and I think we'll know more about how safe Mara's going to be when we find out if barnardo's going to be banned enough, but I mean we've seen burn Mara's playing the last few weeks and he's been you know delivering quite well when he's been staring, you know, he's got a good free kick obviously from his time at last I when he was a lot cheaper than he is now he was delivering really Be well, so I think the key for him is start and regularly and if we're going to see that, you know, he could be a really really good option. So does this mean managers should be shipping out Bernardo silver then? Yeah, it's hard to know. I mean, I think if you've got them at this stage, you might get the weekend of them against wolves. If you've got cash in the bank, if you're looking at not enough to have a bit of money set aside you may be able to jump to to someone like tomorrow's or maybe even two davits over there. We know he's probably Going to play two games a week. But again when he starts he he can be quite a good FPL are said to have so stepping away from the big team the big hitters men City there any sort of players that have PR managers should be really looking at for this coming week. Well, I think I think can't well, you know, he's been quiet enough the last couple of game weeks, but I do think his underlying stats have been quite decent. I know knowledge as a team, they'll perform very well when they're playing Pain away, but he's at home against Villa this week and you know, we kind of expect him under loads of Pookie to maybe you know converter Statin two points this week. I know a few people are kind of getting impatient with them now. Yeah Cantwell has is one that I still think has a lot of value don't know it's train is not set yet. Is it? All right. That's about it then Matt. Thank you so much for joining us and sharing your thoughts with us, and we hope you have PL gameweek picks up and we'll speak to you again soon. Thank you very much. Thanks very much. Ten teacher tattoos truck. I got a journey is full a tactic to brings me luck in your son, but you don't hear me take his truck. There we go. That was Matt Kenny. Okay at bolstering the car put his Twitter linked in our in our podcast blurb so you can go and look at him and stuff. I don't know or just say hi. That's the end of part 2. We don't go anywhere because in part 3 we have the upcoming game week fixtures. We have appealed content creator of build them for will be picking out FPL team. And yeah, that's just exciting this welcome to part 3 then there's something like the upcoming game week fixtures game week 8 Saturday the 5th of October where brightening into Tottenham in the early kick-off. Oh dear Burly against Everton and Liverpool against Lester Norwich against Aston Villa Watford against Sheffield United West. I'm against Crystal Palace in the evening kick off. And on Sunday. The 6th of October for fixtures are strong against born with Man City against wolves Southampton against Chelsea and wow Newcastle vs. Man United Phipps. Is that catch your eyes Brian again Spurs, obviously, which we Discussed in the last 4 meetings Spurs have won three of those Nathan. Yeah, the one that catches my eyes Newcastle Vs. Manchester United Newcastle obviously got absolutely shellacked by Lester last week and look pretty bismal. But arguably United looks just as terrible at the moment as well that game on Monday was not a classic are so many I'd I think both take the best way to describe I think both Both teams are assembled a broken chair. You can put that image in your head. Yeah, I think Arsenal looked quite solid in that game which concern the defense spin an Abomination or season shows you just how kind of Toothless United look the season and just kind of echo on that. So you mentioned obviously socials recognized last 28 games being worse than Josie's last 28 games just to kind of look at that a bit more. They've only scored more than one goal in three of their last 21 games. This is man united we're talkin about and their Hall of nine points from the opening. Seven League games is the lowest they've ever had at this stage in the Premier League for a video. So yeah, I think I predicted that social get sacked in October in the previews. And yeah, I think I did November tonight. Yeah, so before Christmas and I don't think this weekend's going to help either. I actually fancy Newcastle to sneak a result who leave Legally is going out my limb, but they're going to need to be tighter than what they were at lest. I can see them going back to the Albany as way of five at the back free hard to beat midfielders in Midfield and just grinding out something. They might not get a win but I can't see United winning a saint James's the Newcastle need a response. Certainly after that defeat to Leicester speaking of Leicester. Liverpool vs list normally tight Affairs will live ball coming up on top, although Though Lester have not yet faced off against nipple as a Brendan Rodgers side body has scored seven goals in eight appearances against Liverpool. That's interesting. Sulla has three goals and four appearances against Leicester and money to into and Nathan. There's a player coming back. Yeah. He might not make this weekend, but it definitely looks like a weed back by the international break that Alison is apparently returning to full training this week, which is good news for me because he's in my drop Squad now. Yeah, I mean, I don't think it makes a massive difference. It's live forever all but yeah, it's good for you. Isn't it? Well any fixtures that caught your eye well, I'm very excited about the Liverpool a Lester game. I think Lester are playing particularly. Well at the moment and I'm still a little hesitant about the Liverpool defense. They've conceded 11 big chances this season, which means I don't think that because he's a lot of goals, but I think there's definitely opportunity for for Lester to score but the gamer I think there could be loads of goals is ask Anil versus Bournemouth and we've got two teams who just seem to have completely forgotten the art of Defending no team has conceded more shots this season than Arsenal with a hundred and twenty-six and Bournemouth aren't far behind with a hundred and eighteen. So this could be eight nine this match with the four words. They've got we look in the top four words cattle with some is third in the expected goals charts. So he's got 3.47 only a Hem and agüero are ahead of him. There's going to be goals. It's going to be exciting and always traditionally is goals, isn't it? Yeah, the this looks like it's going to have goals and just in terms of the FPL form league as well free of the top six players are in this fixture. So they are Josh King Callum Wilson and Obama Yang, the only other three players in the top six are all men. See players. Wow, exciting stuff other fixtures that caught my eye you got Bernie versus Burton the last time these teams faced off at Turf Moor in December Everton spank the clarets 501 Luca Dean scored two goals Sikhism was on the scoresheet also and find enough. He hasn't scored yet this season. So could this be the week? I mean seven games are gone. Hmm. I know someone was fishing around for sigurdsson and the draft leg because he's got a scar. Let's go see the other fixture actually quite interesting Norwich versus Villa first my thoughts were Well, Villa look like a stronger cyber and Norwich won both games to one and the jumpship last season. So I expect you know, I think they're going to be goals in this one and it could favor Norwich Norwich has injury list is absolutely horrific at the moment is bad, isn't it? But we'll see Pookie to the rescue yet nor expresses. Aston Villa is a really interesting game. I think it's a last Last Chance Saloon. I feel slightly for Pookie is still strange to say that already. He but he is he's bad twice in a row as has told count. Well and the home matches our we're not it should be performing well, and we need to see something from Pookie. We need to see some encouraging signs of those of those early season games and Aston Villa does present an opportunity. Definitely Villa also this season they've dropped eight points from winning positions so far and they've been ahead by twice in two games as well. So was against Arsenal they weren't head twice and Student win and Burnley their head twice and didn't win as well. So then it really need to sort out if they turned those into wins than they would be in the top half. They're actually in the bottom three now, I think both teams fancy this time that's going to be proper ding dong and I would talk about a sorry. I'm going to bust in on you there Alfie again, but we were talking before about our son and born with both having conceded a lot of shots. Well, the two teams that are split them in second and third most considered shots are nor it's an Aston Villa who both considered a hundred and Twenty-One shots each. Taste of goals goals goals goals goals goals good, maybe I might watch that through my legal stream the F power content creator now for you people we're going to listen to very briefly the FBI and infra who has the trending transfers. In terms the goalkeepers FPL manager seemed to be turned into the Sheffield United goalkeeper with over 14,000 managers already having transferred Henderson in ahead of game week 8 with the news of Fabian skis injury and the possibility that the West Ham goalkeeper might be out for up to three weeks over 21,000 of you have already shifted away from The Joint higher scoring goalkeeper in FPL with 32 points. In defense, there are three trendiest players already forming this week. They are lundstrom to Maury and Cresswell lundstrom is leading the trend so far the time of recording this with over 53,000 of you getting him in already. It's the likes of Oreo who got a red card in game week seven and so as a result is now suspended diinya and 1 / Sakura who are losing out in FPL managers teams in Midfield. There are two players battling it out to become the trendiest me. Fielder to have ahead of game week eight in the brainer and mount both having been brought in by over 18 and thousand of you so far the time of recording this surprisingly, it's solid and Sterling who are getting moved on for these players with over 45,000 of you selling. Salla on upfront despite Tammy's blank last week is still the trendiest Striker transferred this week with 66 plus thousand of you already getting the Chelsea man in however, there are two new. Is fighting their way back into managers teams in Wilson and King the to Bournemouth men have had over 35,000 transfers in ahead of game week 8 with Wilson just edging ahead of King it spooky who is making way this game week this biting being at home to Aston Villa. That was of course FBI on the infra. If you want to hear more from her you can go to YouTube page. You can select the link in our podcast blurb in the episode blurb. You just click and go great. So pick an RFP our team our team Sheet reads schmeichel Trent Robinson Ricardo. Okay, Sterling solo que debe mcginn iron Tammy and the bench is dead donkey killing Greenwoods. We have no point six million to spend. And we were discussing that as possible to try it out. I think AK4 either lundstrom 4.4 or ottoman D or hold the transfer we've decided Nathan to go for bit of a gamble. We're going to take bringing Lindstrom Lindstrom or course every night away to watford's and what you're saying to me off mic think about lundstrom the parody and he started four games for Sheffield United in their promotion season our sins. He's really is Bo out from the blue, but apparently Wilder at the start of the Season said to Lindstrom that you're going to play this year, even though you weren't reading the team so brilliant. Yeah, it's caught everyone by surprise. Will you like Lindstrom don't you I do. What is that wonderful thing in FPL of he plays out of position. So he's down as a Defender FPL, but he's playing in Midfield. So it has more chances to get goals and assists but he also picks up clean sheet points should shape we try to keep a clean sheet and he's priced incredibly low. For the reasons Nathan's just said he didn't play much. He's before million. He started the season at 4 million and FPL is really about value. You've got to make your team value for money get the players who are under priced. That's how you do well in FPL and he is a player who even at 4.4 is underpriced brilliant and also by getting them such a cheap price. That means a puts our transfer Kitty up which means we should be able to transfer Jordan. Are you? Yeah at some point for an upgrade. He's done is two goals for this year. Susan he's done now, isn't he? So that's the transfer done. Now. The only question is are captaincy. Obviously Caleb. He's like to be out. Salla. I mean salad is always an option. Of course, it's always seems the option. He has scored got good scoring record against Lester. Yeah, it does. Yeah. The other option is Sterling, but then will you were saying about KD be going out that could affect Sterling a little bit. Well, just ke TB spoon such tremendous form this season. Nine assists already. He's supplying and creating so many chances. How is that going to impact the rest of the city attack? Yeah could go stodgy. Couldn't it right now for what we going with I've I take that on board, but I think Sterling's the best option other than maybe Tammy Abraham against Southampton the right? Okay, so we're going to go for the double gamble. It's like a reverse gamble. There you go. So that's our FPL team and that's the end of part 3 but coming up in part for with the answer to our question. Question the clean sheet forecasts and notable players, so don't go anywhere. Welcome to part 4 by now. We do the quiz question. So I asked Alan Shearer is one of five Islands to have managed in the Premier League. Can you name the other four? Who wants go for Nathan? Who wants to go first Nathan? I'll go to obvious ones Alan curbishley. Yeah, Alan pardew. Yep. Alan Ball, yep, one more thing. I have to get all these could be clean sweep. We might have a chance drink it will it chance? Yeah, give him a chance literally. All right, I'll give you a call. Oh, I know the answer to this bucket full of chance. You guys are so kind making me suffer here. I can't think of another Alan. Well don't you know Nathan so he's certainly showed a lot of Desire. Sure. Nobody said that every Salen Alan Shearer is one of five out of so many of the Premier. Sorry, man. That's all right. No, I'll give you a clue Crystal Palace. And you had Alan party Nathan's got it. Nathan's got it going. Hey, this is Alan Clark. No, he's the actor. I can see is his surname as two Strikers have played before one of them still comment a palace or just in general just in general one of them play for the Smith. Yeah, whoa, nice and easy nice and easy, especially when Nathan decided to go back and sheer. But yeah, I would suggest that maybe Be an allen is not always the key to success enough of that right clean seat forecasts. Yes West Ham versus Palace as 13 goals and last four matches between these two and Nathan verbanski as an injury worries, isn't he? Yeah, hip injury early reports seems just he could be out for up to two months at the moment, which is a big blow to Fantasy managers have gotten in the team. Yeah. Yeah. You like me Newcastle money like that. We discussed earlier Newcastle lost two notes in James's in January, but they're tough tackling Isaac Hayden is suspended Arsenal vs Bournemouth as will said lots of goals goals goals goals 5-1 to ask about the Emirates in February and all though. They were on the losing side most times born with have scored four goals in the last three matchups against the Gunners City versus wolves cities bankroll. Three-nil in this picture last time rounds and Southampton against Chelsea to them traditionally don't like scoring against Chelsea. But then again, there's also question marks about Chelsea's defense this season and they did just keep a clean sheet, which I predicted by the way. Thank you very much. Let's do the predictions this week. I've only got three. I've only got three down. There was another one but then I changed my mind I think. Man City and I want to go for a meal between Sheffield United in Watford and that's it Nathan but Burnley Sheffield United Manchester City and then Newcastle United. He's okay will Burnley Manchester City. Manchester United. Oh, I can load Lolo week for clean sheets. We all think right. Look at those fixtures. Yeah, so notable players Nathan you like Newcastle Flyers this week. Yeah. Just I'm going to keep going on about Newcastle this week the Defenders. I think you're the cells for me would be the one that I'd pick out. Well, maybe Headlands finally back from injury as well. Some potentially could get some assistance as But I can't see Newcastle get any goes. I actually think this might be until now. Okay. Well, I'm gonna offer some balance now for for draft managers. If you're playing a with tackle and deception bonus is a plan I drafted in actually was I noticed came out of the gold Network Aston Villa midfielder marvelous and the camber right name. First of all 19 tackles interceptions the last three games. So if you're doing bonuses like that, how could be good another one along those lines? Keep your eye maybe Sean longstaff? Go along with the Nathans Newcastle thread sixth a total tackles interceptions the thrashing by Lester and being home against, you know, it could be well up for it as they say will Strikers you you always got your EIN Strikers. I do indeed. I've got another members table and created on Fantasy Football Scout, which gives me the top attacking players the three players. I recommend this week our Sergio Aguero surprise surprise Tammy Abraham and Callum Wilson. That was interesting about these players as Sergio Aguero 10 big chances. Now a big chance is according to opt it's a chance that you would expect the player to score 10 big chances for Sergio agüero 9 for Tammy Abraham and eight for caliber Wilson. These players are getting very good quality chances and I expect that to continue in gamergate and for fan tracks got some notable players as given to us by the wonderful fantasy football chaps. Thanks guys, so they got one Defender one with field one forward. It's and that Infamous taking them from their game week eight hot or cold player rankings article currently on find tracks HQ check out. So the Defenders tamori, the midfielder is nor words and that forward is Young malenko. These players are shining on the pan tracks platform at the moment and are relatively low on based on their form. That's that's about it from us. Before we go. We are just going to quickly discuss which beer you should be drinking this weekend, of course at Texas, huh? Them says heading to Hong Kong next week any ideas obviously stay safe with the clamp down on the protesters there, but I was at a big Festival few months back and one of my heart has actually brew from Hong Kong young Master.
