Hi, my name is Duncan and we are the fancy Football Fanatics. I'm in Manchester and I'm joined by Andy in Oakland in La this week. Been what is your football moment of game week 10. Can I have can I have two moments? So my first moment?Is I only saw two highlights of the Arsenal game, but they were pretty entertaining one is granite sucker the captain getting substituted and fans just booing him and then he's kind of inciting them. He's holding his hand to his ear and then he takes off his shirt. He throws it on the floor and he walks down the tunnel. So that was pretty funny. And the second one was it was injury time. So has a battery goes through a go. Go and get and Oozy just rugby tackle him at the halfway line to stop and go through and got a yellow card. So I thought that was also pretty hilarious. Now. I don't know if you don't know if he thought that was that was a hellacious in the hospital fan to Duncan. I actually did I think the the Checker booing thing like you can't pick a captain who all the fats hate and then when they were people whom he throws the shirt on the floor, it's not a good look and the Gwen Susie tackle. Actually quite I'm quite proud of him for doing that for for like give few years. I don't think Arsenal Midfield as would have been Savvy enough to just completely rugby tackle someone cynically in a crucial time in the game when you could have been exposed on the break. We're going to Z both arms like a full rugby tackle to the back. That's what you wanna see in like the 97th minute and he's potentially through on goal. So now that was good. Yeah, but digging in Yang we ask them. Then I find the granite shakka situation fascinating because it seems like the more Arsenal fans hate him. The more integral Emery makes him to the team. It's almost like I'm not sure who's being trolled whether it's the Arsenal fans or whether it's Granny shaking himself, but it's like a really strange situation. Yeah. He probably doesn't want to be Captain the fats to wanted to cancel last hierarchies to be fair he has Subdue few times recently. So maybe he might he might get a little bit of time on the bench. That would be amazing. If you did. How about you Andy? What's your football moment of the week? My little member of the week is a something that we haven't seen man. You do really since game one of the Season which is score and exciting intricate and good goal Marseilles goal against Norwich was completely different from anything else in mind. You do the season. It was like a flowing move with a back heel. And a chipped finish from RC AO and I actually feel hope today as a man you fan with with Maciel being back the like that gives us like enough movement going forward that we could actually cause teams trouble that aren't really not counter-attacking now. I realize that's hanging by a thread because Marcia had to have a great history with injuries or effort. So they at least give me something to cling to so that that was my favorite moment of the week. I mean, it's a good moment, but I want to pick you up on something. I think in your first kind of two or three games when Marshall was fit and upfront and you know, everyone was scrambling to get him. I think you did score a couple of those kind of flowing moves on the break. It may be against Chelsea or walls. We don't see what game of the seasons. Yeah, and we'll see moves in the second game. I think Marshall scored a really classy girl in that one as well. So maybe it's just Marshalls effect on the team and that's hopefully going to be back. Well, I think it's mostly the effect of having a balanced front line with Maciel gives us and if he only got James and rash furred, I don't like alone. They can't really do it up right in front of a midfielder Fred and look tahminae, you know, and the rest of our attacking line is being woeful this season, but I think when you put Marcy out back in Zebra, three attacking price you can do something and that's enough to create an attack with so I don't think it's necessarily Maciel himself being this Wonder player so much as just balancing the team, but it does that that's that that's the thread that I'm hanging to. Anyways. I hope and I'm really hoping he stays fit and performs well over the next few games because we need some points. Yeah fair enough. I definitely echoing a lot of what Matt has been saying about balance when we talk about man united and it may be coming back. So that's good. My I can't believe we got to the end of Football moments with me and no one has mentioned the Lester game. That's my there's a lovely that's what Friday Night Football is supposed to be for. Yeah. I mean, I didn't expect much I didn't have much on. I thought I'd settle down and watch it and it was an absolute treat and I think the biggest the biggest kind of treat that came out. The game was been chill World kind of announcing himself. Finally. He's so he's shown so much promise going forward, you know for England for Lester and he's never he's picked up the Assist here or there but never really kind of made good on his potential. But this game he was just on absolute fire to be fair Southampton were woeful. But he got two assists and a goal and and all three of those contributions who are top quality. So yeah Lester thrashing Southampton and been Chalmers my big highlight you guys see the game. Highlights for the highlights my I enjoyed it a lot because I have both see you in two and VAR D. And most of you guys have seen show on your bench and body not in your team so that I enjoyed that a lot. I was paid for that kind of moves son quite nicely to fpl moments. I'm guessing that's your F bill moment of the week Andy, it's not actually enjoyable though. It was I did some actual research on a different FPL moments. I'm going to give you something else. Okay. Because a my FBO with only a moment more of a highlight of the week because there were a lot of really high scoring goalkeepers without clean sheets this week. We had obviously that sort of most notable. One of those is Tim cruel who wants to get us three bonus points. We have 16 points this week despite conceding three goals. He made two penalty saves an eight save overall. So it would have been 5 one without him. It's saving those penalties. So a really huge score for him Ben Foster in a Neil Neil got three bonus points as well as he got 10 points Edison got nine points despite being in absolute trouncing of three-nil without seemingly much to do but he was you also got to bonus points and made five saves Gaza and eager today May 12 saves in one match. So it seems to have been a very big week for goalkeepers. And even I was sort of lonely looking at Matt Ryan in my goal, but he he actually got two bonus points and made six eight. Four-point play yeah, lots of saves this week which are translated into points in fantasy. Yeah, definitely and gas an eager. I think Gary brought him in recently during the doing the business for him this week tenderly with those safe points indeed. If you will though in addition to that. I've just realized something. Let me have one point from the Leicester game is Jamie vardy 89 points in the bonus point system, which I don't think I've ever seen before. It's pretty huge. Considering he hadn't been involved in the first four goals. Was it something like that hadn't really been talked in the game up until that point. That's pretty impressive. Maybe it's just he's so efficient. He doesn't miss when he shoots so he's not getting any points reduced for shots going wide. Yeah, maybe incredible. Like I didn't other players get like had tricks and get sort of 52g final point about 89. I've never seen anything like that before anyway back to goalkeepers. Yeah goalkeepers big weeks ago few business week and normally sort of Often an overlooked position in the team and real realtor real returns this week. How about you been what's your FPL moment of the week? Mine is kind of FPL trolls come back. So if you remember two preseason lot of people were talking about ioc Perez as a really good pick. I think I actually had it in my team when I when we started the season continued to do nothing until this weekend when he scored the hat trick, which was quite funny and then the other preseason Peak mukha Dean also I had him in the team early in season this had an unfortunate week this week. Going to assist ruled out. I think it was it was dubbed a own goal. So he didn't get his assist and then in the 93rd minute concedes and own go himself giving him a minus one. So I think to early early picks having vastly different fortunes this week. I thought was quite funny. And those are those are good ones for the Trolls, but you've missed out one of the key trolls Callum Wilson has that three banks in a row two blanks on the road at least for him. And just in time for when I think me and you brought him here exactly. Yeah, the king of Trials. It's definite rules. You know, I think Pierre Emerick aubameyang is a troll as well because we've just brought him into our team and you blank for the first week. Obviously this week Lost season. I picked him consistently when he wasn't scoring he ended up joint top scorer in the league and then score a single goal for me despite the fact that I had him in my team for more than half of the season. So I think either Keith role as well. Maybe a very personal troll to you. We all have our personal trials as well. As you know FPL white roles. He hasn't yet made it into the wider Community as a troll, but who knows if he keeps this up he may well do that even things like training for him. He's practicing on me so that when he can when he makes the big time, he's ready. Yeah practice makes perfect. My-my FPL moment of the week was was at the captaincy in our you know, I little kind of rivalry between all the broadcaster's I think pretty much everyone. Apart from me went for de bruyne a captain. I went for Sterling captain and at the end of the game, it looked like it hadn't made much difference. I think Sterling was on 11 deployment was on something like eight or nine and but it was just the deliciousness of of his goal being taken away from him. Yeah. I just a lovely kind of post game that will glow so it's not a big difference if it's if you just going against one person. When you're going against for other people, it's a nice kind of Swing to have so yeah, that was my my nasty fbl moment of the week my best even more than that. Is that within the get there whether you guys watch that game but in the game, they actually allowed the goal on the basis that it didn't touch debit silver because if it had touched him that would have made Raheem Sterling offside when he sort of limbo de round the ball and put the goalkeeper off and ago would have been disallowed if in the moment. Moment the referee had decided the silver did touch it. But because he didn't it was allowed and then it's still got taken away from De bruyne, which is insane. It's so brutal, isn't it? They're basically admitting that it shouldn't have been a goal after the game or that ever thought we didn't touch it one of the other. Yeah. Yeah that and yeah, if you were with me on the Serling Captain see this week congratulations. We got away with one. I think massively there and let's take a quick break and when we come back we're going to Shit, the upcoming fixtures for game week 11 of time in LA bombonera stadium and England trail Mexico by two goals to nil. England lose for Nill. Okay, we're back and it's Bournemouth vs Man United for Andy Andy. You said you had a bit of Hope when you're looking at man united this game week. What do you think about next game week? Yeah, really interesting one this because I think after a really positive result this week, we have a like that You can get freak positive results. But if you get two in a row, that's when you sort of feel like you've turned a corner. So especially with a sort of generally positive run a thick just coming up now man, you kind of really need that. So I think this is gonna be very instructive game to see whether it's time to start piling in on man you assets that have previously been ignored so and digging a specially down James and Anthony marcial or whether it's actually just a freak result. And continue to avoid I have gone big and I've already made my transfer the next week. I put in Marcio because I think everyone will be doing that. I'm hoping to gain some some value by doing by making the transfer early. So those are the two players that I would be looking out for I think although R Ashford is obviously one of the main goals for us for United heater forward and the others are midfielders. And so your returns aren't as good and he's more expensive. So on man you side. I think those are your two players on the ball. Outside interests. It's really interesting because that obviously a good side and a man you team who's sort of resurgence is not hasn't yet happened. They could sort of kill it dead right now. We're bye-bye by winning this game. I think so, they'll be obviously motivated. I think by the chance to continue man United's drought and also by the fact that they kind of need a result. So at home, I think it's going to be very very very lately stand a chance of winning to be very very easy. In game, I'd be looking after Colin Wilson to break this three-game drought I'd be looking out for Ryan phrases like a great season this year and he seemed to be totally eclipsed by Harry Wilson as the midfielder to have to Bournemouth. So I'm going to pick it you're going to pick a midfielder from Bournemouth side. I think he's the one neither team. I don't think are likely to keep a clean sheet in this game. So it's one for the attackers rather than the Defenders. It's a tricky one, isn't it? Because boom Earth aren't known for their clean sheets, but they've picked up to clean sheets in the last two games, which is quite unusual for them. Then on top of that. They've also not scored in those last two games. So it's very unlike Bournemouth. They're coming in in a very unpredictable way more than kind of ever before I'd say with Bournemouth. So but you're predicting goals for Man United and goals for Bournemouth. So you kind of go and get their form. I think if you look at the teams born with a faced in the last two games that As you more about those Nails than almost themselves. They've played against teams who are really looking to stop the rot and have kind of their their main thing has been we're going to try not to concede today man. You won't play like that which will open the game up a lot more and I think you'll see ya like I think you'll see both teams score. I've been sort of joking on the on the WhatsApp thing before the game that maybe teams are going to be ushering man you players into the penalty area and then fouling them so that we missed the penalty. You might see a penalty in this game because man, you've had a lot of those in this a lot in this week this year either. Anyway, I'd I believe it will be goals on both sides. If man, you really have turned it around then it could be a sort of a 3-1 score that kind of thing could be a 2-1 for Bournemouth, but I think I don't think either team is defensively sound enough to knock and see them a kind of game that I think it will be. Okay and one last thing last You went early and you picked this guy out before anyone else was talking about it may be too early Diego Rico. He's now 4.2 million, which is dirt cheap. He's on quite a few set pieces for Bournemouth and he's also picking up bonus recently as well. So do you think he's a just a good enabler or do you think he's worth playing in a few fixtures? Well, thank you for remembering that bank. And I want about a year too early with him was an iced over. Yeah, the reason I picked him last year was to takes corners and he was really really cheap and he still played a couple of pictures in a row and then lost his place right now. Charlie Daniels being injured means that he's not really under threat is his place in the team isn't really under threat Adam Smith seems to have not that that's why I've been not even as it and it's been slow playing at left-back, which was kind of an odd decision and threw me off. But anyway Rico I think is worth playing. In some fixtures, but this one I don't think boomers are going to keep a clean sheet. And so he's not one hints of stand out as somebody to play but if you look at what's what's coming up for them and it's going to be up there fixtures. Now, they've got Newcastle away and Wolves at home coming up next I would I would Advocate playing Rico in those two games because Newcastle don't score a lot of goals and wolves don't seem to do very well on the road against the not the best teams in the league. So I don't like playing Rico most against they just have to fix just coming up. I've got my new next then. They've got Tottenham again week 14 Liverpool Chelsea and Arsenal coming up it within the next ten games. So I think he's one of those players. He's an enabler when he when they're playing against one of those top sides and he's somebody that you can put in as an actual starter further games when they're playing week opposition. Yeah. Okay, not that no one for this week, but maybe later on down the line fair enough and Next up its Arsenal vs wolves and this is one for me. I've just finished watching recording on Sunday night just finish watching the Arsenal Crystal Palace game, which was not too much of a pleasure. It has to be said, I mean, I just I turned on just after Arsenal and scored the second goal and this the first 10 minutes, so I got to watch our lead be slowly taken away from us. And then in the kind of dying minutes having a goal completely taken away by VR overturned a firm. For what I could see is just a general kind of goldmail scramble and they've got have narrowed in and done replays and found a foul somewhere in there. So that was pretty pretty depressing viewing next up its walls for Arsenal another home fixture and although and he was saying wolves don't tend to do that. Well on the road against the small teams and against the bigger teams they do. All right. They did a pretty damn well last season against the good teams and they've just done really well against Man City at the Etihad so they beat Arsenal and Last season as well. I kind of had a bit of a Hooter over them. So I would expect this to be a really tough game for Arsenal and I think if you brought in a Banning recently for his good fixtures, you're probably really annoyed that he's as only saying starting to kind of troll you a little bit. I think there are other options out there and I think wolves would be a tough game followed by Lester away, which is another tough game for Arsenal another bit of a team with a hoodoo over them, especially going to Jamie. Body, so I think there's two tough fixtures for Arsenal about me and being the standout pick for them at the moment. If you can make it through those two games, then you've got Southampton at home Norwich away and brightener home. So it's just whether you think it's worth waiting that time or whether there's better options for two games. Maybe you can bring him back in again after those two games. If you show some form apart from that Arsenal a starting to rotate in the full-backs so class Natchez not really much of an option anymore. Tierney came. For his first premier league game subbed probably because he's come back from a big injury and but I expect him to be a bit more of a first teamer Chambers probably going to be going soon bellowing on the bench. Yeah. So after the fence if you're crazy enough to go there it's probably not very safe in the fall back positions. But from that lacazette came in. I didn't think he looked particularly up to speed lost the ball and got fouled quite a lot. So yeah, he's not really an option especially his price where he's competing with VAR D. VAR D. I think at the moment is the man to go for in that price bracket for sure apart from that wolves. A lot of talk about him and is going into Kalin Wilson's blanks and Pookie being off form completely lot of people talking about him and there's a bit of a an outsider pick based on their fixtures and the form he said recently. I don't think asking the way as a bad fixture for him. By Aston Villa. So if if you brought him in I would stick with him for the moment because I think walls will play quite well against against Arsenal. I think counter-attack will suit them. They're counter-attacking style against Arsenal at home is kind of perfectly set up for them. So yeah, I'd hold onto them and apart from that annoying to see Wooly Bully not playing. I know a lot of people think he was a bit of an option for their clean sheets and defensive salinity but seems even even he isn't safe to get minutes every week. So Yeah, if you can be brave hold onto a banging if not, maybe take him out for the next two fixtures. I would say you guys can jump in or we can move on to Aston Villa Liverpool with been so Villa Liverpool. I think I think below are a good side. But I think you saw this week. I and we predicted this last week unlikely to do anything against the big boys. So lost three notice City and I think this may be a similar game where I would Spect Liverpool to win the only things are watching that game look like Salah had to go off before full time. I think he may have hurt his ankle with the other like a lingering ankle injury. So would monitor that and also Liverpool have I think they play Arsenal actually in the leak up midweek. So may be interesting to see what kind of team they put out for that game. But everyone kind of knows I think The Usual Suspects On the Liverpool team. I watched that game today and I have Trent Alexander Arnold and he honestly you could have had so many assists you just crossing the wall constantly. So I still feel good. Keep they're sticking with him and probably Robertson to even though they aren't ready picking up any clean sheets. I think this would be a good shout for a clean sheet will I think we've talked a lot about real ishm again as they're good players, but I don't think they'll get much out of this. My I think Liverpool May win two or three now. Yeah, I mean, I don't know about 2-3, they'll live people seem to be picking up the you know, considering the old girl here or there. So maybe maybe a villa at home, you know, they have posed a bit of an attacking threat. They can pick up a goal. But yeah, I think your prediction is pretty pretty much spot-on for a livable win and it's pretty cut and dry isn't it? So three crack on with Brighton Norwich for Andy? Yeah. Another one. I thought these alien diaries that exciting week. Getting beyond all that. So these are two interesting sides bright and I think are a lot better than it I can both sides are a lot better than anybody expected him to be this year, but nor it just kind of hit a bit of a rough patch at the moment. And so I expect Brighton winning this game as a result. I think there's a couple of players on brightens team that I'm quite interested in. First one is I think a lot of people are interested in in Connolly. Who has sort of come from nowhere at 4.6 million to be a regular starter? He I think I'm not necessarily convinced that this is going to be like a new Superstar for the season and this is kind of the last game for him where we're really they've got a winnable fixture. They've got off to Norwich. They've got man united left a Liverpool Arsenal's are really tough Runner fix just coming off the back of Norwich. He's a really interesting one and I think if you if we see him start Next five games that could be a sign that he sort of made his way into the first team permanently. And then for the next fix that a picture Little Wolves Palace Sheffield United taught number then Bournemouth, they've got a they've got a much nicer run of fixtures. If you look from game week 17 through 229 really it's just time and she'll see that a sort of little red fixtures. So I think he's definitely one that I'm looking out for to see where he plays or not another one that sort of run under the radar. Where is Neil mopey who seems to be even when Connolly's playing on the pitch and the running very hard? What's interesting about him is if you look at his history through the game weeks, he sort of he doesn't score when he does score. He said he'd enter school. We go six and a seven and a nine and his price point. It seems like it's quite predictable when he's going to be doing well because he tempted seems to be against the even bottom teams. So when you see ya guys and moped against a team of Pretty good, right gatien like Norwich could be a week for him. So there's my to brighten players. I'm interested in on the Norwich side. I think Pookie's really fallen from grace and I think what you mentioned earlier, he's out of form now. So he's what he's a get rid of my book somebody that you don't want right now. He may come back later in the season big doesn't look on great form right now. A lot of people have transferred in Todd can't well, I think that may have been a bit premature doesn't seem to have done a lot since the start of the Run. Games are made of one transfer him in and say yeah, I don't really see much of interest in Norwich is team but two players from Brighton. Yeah, he's a funny one Mo pay, isn't it? Because there's a lot of talk about him. I say a lot of time there was a bit of talk and the FPL community on Twitty and going into this game week. So Andy from let's talk FPL and from the state Scout Cass brought in my pairs one of his Strikers and I think Neal Murray who's quite big on FB or Twitter. It was also championing my pain, bro. Vince was team, but it seems strange doing that. I know he's a good price point and he's it's clear. He's on penalties after this game week, but now you say with the fixtures, you know with those those really nice T fixtures from game week 12. It's a weird one, but I guess six million he could sit on your bench couldn't lie. He cured the question I guess is you've also got Connolly in the same team on the same price and same with same pictures obviously in same position but a lot cheaper, so I guess that's the the argument against my Hey, but if you don't if you're not sure Connolly's going to play or you think he's not going to play. Then the moped makes more sense and although he's got a nasty fixtures approaching. He has had a nice run running up to now so I don't know maybe maybe they're planning to get rid of him next week. Yeah, maybe it's just for those couple of fixtures and it's working out for them and next up. It's a pretty easy one for me. It's Man City versus a team who had just beaten 9 mil at home. And so if it's RF is Southampton right now. I don't know where it is. Yeah this I expect a bloodbath and and that's quite easy to say but more specifically I think I think Neil from Fantasy Football Scout was tweeting after the or maybe even during the Lester game saying that you know, this is something that it was very self-deprecating and I liked me or not. He was saying, you know, I've said a lot of things this season isn't it annoying when people just pick out one thing they've said and said, you know, look this came true, but one of the stats he picked out on an article for Fantasy Football Scout was that Southampton concealer huge amount of chances League record high from their right hand side. So he was predicting players like Charles Barnes and chill well to do well against Southampton and So based on that logic, I think we've got absolute open goal for Raheem Sterling as a captain see this this game we because He's up against that weeks at Southampton right flank. He's in absolutely, you know, brilliant form back on form again. And also he's being helped out massively. I think by Mehndi inconsistently Mehndi is being pushed really far wide because Pap is obsessed with having people really close to kind of, you know, grass and are choking their boots from the touchline many can play that role. So Sterling who come inside and get those goals and whereas before Mandy was in the team Sterling was been pushed out. If I widen that was coming in siding with his bad run a foreman and a couple of blanks. So I think Wendy's an interesting pick is very low and at the moment and he has been very attacking the past but Sterling for a captaincy. I think he's a shoe-in this week and that's pretty much it because there's no one on South Hampton already asked to talk to you about. I think the one thing I would add is Southampton have one game before to kind of get their spirits up and hits against Man City. By the way, like example of a game where pet food just not play. I can have Bernardo silver and Rehab Morrigan the wings and just like flummox everybody by playing a reserve team against Southampton and like gold will come from I don't know Phil foden and ilk I gun the gun like and go and Gabrielle Jesu. So it seems like that kind of game to me when he The noise all of the fancy primary place. I think it's perfectly set up for us because we can see what happens in the League Cup in the week. See who plays them based on that kind of have an educated guess but I think what Sterling quite often this season if he's dropped he doesn't come on the pitch. So if you Captain him, he's not coming on for one pointer your Vice Captain comes in and you know, if that's the broiler then you've got a good chance of one of them playing at least against the Southampton see, but I think we're R yes potentially in a normal way with the League Cup. We've got a little bit of insight this week which is like something my shower is on that point. I would do the one thing I wouldn't do is Captain Sterling in Vice de bruyne because if he does come out with a reserve team you can up with neither of them playing. So if you're going to I would say don't put both your captain Daniel Vice into the city team just to protect yourself against hype surrounding whims. I don't know. I think it's worth it for this. Fountain team and City, I'm I'm going to be doing it myself. So I disagree with you there. I think it's worth the risk. Yeah, and I did it this week and it worked out as well. But who knows you're right is roulette. So we'll have to see and Ben. What do you reckon to Sheffield United vs. Burnley? Oh, this is do. Uh, yeah. I think this is going to be a tight low scoring game. I'm actually hoping for an O'Neill since I have both mnsure and Nick Pope, I think the only thing I noticed when Burnley play Chelsea was Chris Wood was injured so Gary's favorite so will be interesting to see if he is back and when I actually was watching that game your favorite Duncan Ashley Barnes, he was atrocious. He missed so many chances actually had a couple of chances and was just looked awful. So yeah, I'm just hoping this will be a boring nail nail. I definitely am feeling the this would be an ill and I think you've done it the right way having one from each side and defense or goalkeeper so you can balance because I'm I'm with you on this. I see it as a nil nil or at least one clean sheet for one of the teams. So yeah have have kind of a player in each team is a good way to go for it. And yeah, you're right about Ashley Barnes when he's good. He is one of the best in the league, you know, he gets all the shots and all the stats when he's bad. He's really bad. Yeah, so it's taking away from the burning attack myself in the moment Andy what you reckon to West Ham, Newcastle. I fancy New Castle in this game. I think it's Prime West Ham losing territory to be home to Newcastle. I think that they really sort of had the wind taken out of their sails and the last few weeks Newcastle conversely. Although the results haven't been great. They obviously beat man, you everybody's menu but they they lost one meal to Chelsea Drew 1-1 with Wolves. Those aren't bad results. Like Chelsea have been putting load the gold particle recently and only You want there is actually quite a good sign. I think for a team of mutants in newcastle's level. It's a good sign that they only conceded one wolves are a good side and draw one on with them in the bad results tool. I think we could see a one-nil win for Newcastle here. I think definitely they'll be like their defense is strong enough to keep a clean sheet. So I'm not sort of obviously it might not happen, but I think it's a decent shout and I definitely would not be rushing to put West Ham players in for us for this fixture so I can see like a one-nil through over Joe Linton or maybe scoring from a Corners like like like just blame yourself scored this week There's a chance that Fabian share might be back. So if you read include transfer and you guys all players in then need to do my real my real point of this is is watch out what happened in the game because I think if they do just play really well in this game. They've got a lot of very kind fix just coming up. So if they did they do really well it could A time to look at enablers from newcastle's defense. Yeah, interesting. I mean that is out there potential for bringing Newcastle players and interesting to see that you're thinking that they're not going to weather our way to West Ham. I don't know if I totally agree. I think it's interesting that you've picked other. They're not conceding very much recently, you know since that Lester mauling they've kind of tightened up quite a bit, but I don't know I think West am at home. They've got quite a lot of attacking threat and yah, malenko picking up another assist this week still looks red. I think the one thing for me is Halo is not doing the business up front for West Ham's. That's kind of planting them a little bit. Isn't it? Same for Felipe Anderson to be there? So might have something there who knows and and Lindsay knee has traditionally been what when you play he'd been very exciting for them. He hasn't really been playing the minutes. So you don't know whether he's like either off for more slightly injured or whatever it is. Y'all malenko's really the only one from their from their attack was doing business in that moment. So I think Newcastle having them to blunt him. Yeah, fair enough low scoring at least four for Western and next up its Watford vs Chelsea. This is one for me. So what food have definitely tightened up since the the eight Neil morning Flores has got them drilled, you know, he's known for his defensive approach and he's picked up a nil-nil against Bournemouth, which spite Bournemouth not really being on top form at the moment is not bad and 1-1 against Spurs. So again keeping Keep the score down and Anil against Sheffield United. So three clean sheets in to clean sheets and three games is pretty good and only one goal conceded. So he's definitely done what he was brought in to do and Chelsea may find it a tough nut to crack but I think we've had a pretty good example of Chelsea going away to a team who are defensively really solid in them playing barely this week and they went and scored four goals. So I think Chelsea at the moment are a team in a lot of attacking form. Everyone now has tell RI Abraham. Everyone has then doubled up with Mount as well. And some people like you only have gone even further and they've gone for come on Hudson a toy or tamari, so Chelsea I think they're worth it the moment. I think defensively this could be a really good fixture for them as well as attacking. So yeah, it's I think it's worth it a triple up. I think it's worth going that far annoying to see that the cam Hudson ndoye didn't get the minutes this week and he didn't start the game and his replacement came in and scored a hat-trick. So that definitely puts his place under a bit of threat for the people who went on him a bit early after his good run of form, and I know You tipped him as well. So we are partially partially to blame for that but he's worth keeping in your team. I think but I expect you too sick to be starting ahead of him at the moment and build a sect is a player to keep an eye on if he keeps getting keeps getting starts, you know hat-trick and he's looked bright in the games. He has played he picked up he's picked up three assists as well as that hat trick and and that's let's have a look. He said he's played for seven games. He's got yeah, he's got six returns in those seven games attacking return. So when he gets the time he gets the returns. So there are so many options to get into that Chelsea team at the moment alone. So I'm just want to shout them out because I brought him in this week and he was my gut punch came in with very lucky clean sheet because he was subbed off before they conceded to and I don't think that's because he was subbed off because as we know he's not defensively the soundest but he was on for four bonus before he came off. He was quite high up in the bonus. So Fingers crossed for him in this fixture and for tomorrow as well getting a clean sheet what food I think avoid avoid avoid and looking like they have no throughout from whatsoever. And yeah who wants to bring in Craig Cathcart for Chelsea or any other fixture? So yeah stick with Chelsea and keep an eye on bonuses pressure and we worry about Chelsea donkeys the other wing with Willian there. Do you think either option A Willian is the one who's like reliably going to play and therefore may be a decent pick or do you think maybe because of to the six form? It might be Williams places at threat with flaps and Dawn. I think that Hudson Midori and boosts its you competing for that Left Flank and Lampard is said in quotes recently about Willie and he said on one of his performances, you know, he's proved why he's one of one of our or he might even said he's proved why he's our best player at the Moon recently and you know in the returns fancy wise prove that you know goal assist goal and assist against Burnley. In the last four games, so I don't think he's planning on dropping at the moment and fitness-wise. He's very fit boy. So yeah, I think Wilson Williams place is pretty secure myself, I think and I think he's competing with petrol who doesn't seem to be getting a looking at the moment. So yeah, that's that's my concern with account Hudson to die, but we'll have to see we'll see how it develops because I know Karen Hudson do I can play on the right? So potentially Williams could get rotated or dropped is a bit of a risk at the moment. I wouldn't I wouldn't be picking William myself because he I think he's not changed as a player in fancy since he pretty much joined the Premier League. He's set been seven million for so long and has just about yeah prove to 7 million player with patches of form, but he's not an option. I'm interested in myself. And what do you reckon been to Crystal Palace verse? Last so I think this will be a harder game from Lester Palace. Very good result against Arsenal coming back from two down to draw that game. Obviously Lester have so many options and an amazing win against Southampton. I think there are there are a lot of options and I think a good case for tripling up on less the plays given that they have a really I think Another good run of seven more games where their hardest game is Arsenal which you know may not actually be that hard. So all The Usual Suspects Jamie vardy Madison bonds all the Defenders chill. Well, so you want to Pereira T lemons. So a lot of options I think for Lester and I think I think probably most veteran players will be trying to maybe double or triple up for this this good run. I know I'm deaf. Trying to find a way to do it but Pilots are a tough team at home. So maybe a I think a lot tighter than the shuffle the Southampton game. The only Power Swatch I was on is Kelly who is bench Ford of most people I think is now now replaced by Tompkins. He was on the bench for for their game against their last game against Arsenal, so I'm not too interested in Palace attacking us. Assets or though are you as amazingly managed to score a couple goals recently. But yeah, I think this will be a tough game for less than will be interesting to see if they can pull this one out. Yeah, I think you've picked it out there. You've basically listed the entire lesson team at the start. They're saying so many cups as me. All right, it's basically it's a case of fit in the Lester option that fits into your team, isn't it? Because like you say, it's a race to Triple up on Lester at the moment, you know, whether you go jars bonds for a cheap wine, or you go for Pereira for expensive of the black. It could be anyone couldn't because any of any of them are going to score points the moment just one play you didn't mention is of course Jonny Evans and I would say stay away from him, but from that, Yeah, say weeks in DDT. He only got three points in the 901 again. Yeah fair enough stay away from my duty to and okay next up its Everton vs. Tottenham and that's the last game and yeah, and they with game at you before I go into this looking I noticed today, they'll never notice. There's a weird like Hut on Everton's badge. I just got really obsessed with that earlier and I found out what it is. It's Prince Rupert's Tower, which was next door to the The the famous coffee shop owned by money bushel, which is why they called the toffees. So that's a little piece of information that I Googled because I was bored into the actual game. I think Everton have been a really interesting side because they have been atrocious defensively really ever since sober took over my over their management and this season the goal seemed to have dried up to mostly but they lock this cord to this week, even though they conceded three and Calvert Lewin scored as It's quite an interesting situation. They're in it might be that there is like poised to take off right now or it might be that they're poised to fire silver and start anything new a new trend. So we'll see how this game goes against Spurs, but I think the most interesting thing in this game for me at least is human song. He has despite Tottenham not looking good recently just looked exactly the same as he always does really really industrious shooting a lot and even got an assist this week. Eek and this the last sort of the game in the week in Europe and again against Liverpool and they live will beat them. They looked good in both of those games. So it might be that human song is about to come into fashion again. So for both sides is a really interesting game and really the point of me watching. This one is going to be to decide what to do with both of their assets next rather than to try and transfer players from either team in right now. We have a pleasant sort of looking out for in both. These teams that are attacking so humans on and potentially the likes of the sort of Traditional High scorers like sigurdsson and Richardson. I think if this sort of turns out to be a either a golf are store where one team really shines it could be a something that's interesting for the following weeks. One player from Everton. I want to ask you about who's actually their top scorer by some distances which are Allison who seems to be playing up front again, and he's got two returns to assist to playing upfront. Do you think he's an over talked about him before do you think he's an adoption at all now is playing on Frank he get the best out of him playing him up front and although your Ray has had some returned recently. I think that when he's been at his best, he's been a left Winger playing behind a striker arriving late in the box and scoring goals and Cause a lot of like it's weird actually like Paul scholes used to arrive late in the box and score head as I feel like that's for childless and its main like Point getting attribute. So you playing said before when you lose that and he said of his fighting for scraps rather than doing his main thing. So if they manage to sort of settle on one of either noisy keying or cover Lou and playing Center forward, you might get better results. However charlatan Yeah, fair enough. It definitely happened last season. They didn't get returns up front so I can understand that. Okay. Should we should we have a look at our whipping boys for this week? I have a pretty good idea. Who minor who are you whipping? I will go Southampton. I would agree with you and check that I can agree with you. Okay, dude. Are you worried for a second then? Okay. What about clean sheets been? Can you see some clean sheets. I will go Sheffield United. Yep, we talked about it before that's definitely true. Clean Brandy between shakers Norwich. Yes, you've left me Burnley. So I'm going to go for Burnley a way to Sheffield United. I'm hoping for a nil nil and that fixture back to you been man, Sissy. Yep, another very obvious one. bendy now That's good. I am going to go with Chelsea a way to what for Watford blankie recently and more defensively focused. Okay back to you been I still think Liverpool can keep it clean she but yeah, maybe maybe a less certain about that one. Okay, getting down to the drags Andy here we are and maybe less we're going to Palace. Not really convinced by that though. I think I'm gonna back you up with that because after watching the 9 mil, I thought that Lester wasn't that they look defensively sound because they weren't really test it at all. But they just took so in control of the ball so intro in control of the game and I think Palace I think we'll probably can see them that control in this game. I think Lester will approach it as they are a big team and they will try to control the ball. So I kind of back you up on that on Lester getting thei think It's worth paying so onto if you have them in your team and okay, that's a clean sheets. Let's take a break and when we come back, we'll have a look at the the podcast league as flies to wanton boys. We are for the gods they kill us for their sport. I love. Thank you. Okay, we're back and let's have a look at the app FPL fantastic Fantasy Football Fanatics podcast League see how you guys are getting on first of all in first place. I'm looking at the alive league on Sunday night on live FPL dotnet and he's the man Kevin miles is still number one in the world. He still top Clinging On by his fingernails now with 43 points this game week and captaining Aguero, but he's still Go to healthy League of 20 or so points and I very much feel like his team is is the old template Clinging On You Know Aguero Pookie sala de bruyne are lundstrom mountain and Robertson, but he's got a pretty big lead to lose. So it's in his hands at the moment. And so the player that I wanted to shout out this week. The one with the biggest score in the top half of the league was a flabby men's team with King incapable with 78 points. So have a look at his team guys. He's he's obviously got Vari as you'd have to have for that kind of points all this week Sterling captaincy. He's big upfront with Abraham and aubameyang joining VAR. He Mount David silver who I think is massively being overlooked as one of the top scoring FPL midfielders and really low priced as well this season with nine pointer. Monet getting an assist Rico who's doing doing the business at the moment and then a weird one. He's got Chambers in there for his little run in the Arsenal team, which has hasn't worked out. But actually I think this might be a stats pick because Chambers is recently had some of the highest numbers for attempts in the box from you know, free kicks and corners and stuff like that and to add to that he's got Ryan and tamari and they've come in with a score of 78 points this week, which is pretty huge. What's your racket to his class? Because you've got a really good team looking forward for something to get 78 points with 11 million Striker blanking is pretty impressive. He's got a absolutely tough on the bench as me. He's got his entire benched combine got one point this week. So he that's obviously where he saved his money and to have a every single player on his team with the possible exception of Chambers. Looks like they can get points on any given week. I there's no there's no No Junk in there with all these are in the first team they've got I think you're right the David silver is a really interesting differential so yeah, I really like his team and I might be jealous. He's he's kind of way ahead of where people started the season with the heavy at the back and then slowly have been moving van zout defense up front. He's just gone so light at the back. It's unbelievable, you know, Rico Chambers tamori Kelly and just dirt cheap, but I looked at his Strikeforce VAR D Abraham in a bomb Yang, very expensive and I assumed his Midfield would be cheap as chips, but it's not it's not at all really Sterling and money silver and mount and but yeah, just so light in defense and say nothing on the bench so in the one thing is in the mystery of the result of that who I think is really an essential is a tag on Ronald like the amount of like time he spends Way Forward putting crosses in it I think he's going to be one of the biggest scorers this season so every week he's going to miss the Alexander I will point and have to make those up elsewhere but he's pretty well set up to do that so we'll see I was thinking about this this week if you if you look at the points kind of the top Point scorers in the different brackets yeah Defenders a some way short at the moment you know people were talking about big at the back and start the season I mentioned it before but I don't I think it really has not come to past I don't think the Defenders have have delivered at all lundstrom he's one of the top Defenders are 4.0 starting midfielder and they're quite a serious way off at the moment so I think To be fair though, even though Trent is doing well. He's still not the top-scoring defender and he still kind of forth in the list or joint third at least so he's even not fulfilling his price tag, potentially at 7.2. So, I don't know if I fully agree. I think super light maybe that's the way to even like nature already played Arsenal Chelsea Lester Man United and Tottenham as for the first 10 games and if you look at their their upcoming fixtures, I think you're going to see a lot more clean sheets from Liverpool. So I think Alexander Arnold will catch up over this next like 8-10 weeks. So maybe saving some back to double up on Robertson and Trent for that nice wrong after the man set your game. Yeah fair enough and if you want to compete with us, if you want to compete with the other listeners and maybe not Kevin miles of top spot and then you can find the the lead code on our Twitter. We're at FP L FF fanatics on Twitter. And so yeah finally code there right guys. We need to talk about the slight disaster. As our hive mind joint punk-ass team been how did we get on this week? So we made a little bit of an error where we talk through our transfers last week, but we classically forgot to do them. I don't know who's to blame. But let's just call it bad management and not just quit it Gary. That's quite a guy because he's not here. We we got Mighty 39 points. They'll turn to I think 41 with our subs and yeah, not too much to be happy about me. Got a soil onto clean sheet. We got a Mane assist. We got a saint assist at a me Abram assist and we Captain de bruyne are the transfers. We were going to make worse on to Marshall, which I think would have nests about Marshall scored, but he also missed a penalty. The one we kind of missed out on was Cantwell to Madison Madison got eight points in that win. So we definitely lost some points there. So we now have we have double Bank transfers. So we have two transfers to make and you know, hopefully we can make them this this week the shame of using one of your free transfers because we were onto last week. We're still onto we've lost one is cutting really cutting. I think there's one big big mess in our team at the moment. I think that's right him Sterling and I think this might be a week to bring him in. I think we've got Sun there who's picking up assists but isn't doing the same as as he's been doing in Europe with his two goals recently, and he's not getting the minutes as well. So I think he he could change into Sterling. Lee and then we'd have to save a million elsewhere I should just say before we before we go into transfers that I team at the moment is poping goal. They're nice fixture away to Sheffield United Trent ottoman D. So you and XU D up in defense Cantwell, son moneda Briner Abraham and a bam being up front. So that's our starting team at the moment. Yeah. What do you guys think? We can have the luxury of doing that to my verdict II think we have too many Duds in our team right now and are our priority has to be to get rid of some of those we've got Diop otamendi and Cantwell, all of whom look like does to me we've got green with his men to be an enabler but he's enabling us to have Duds and then we've got him again. He's been great but is about to face a really tough Runner fixtures. So I think we should be trying to remove enough of the Duds that we actually get 11 potentially point-scoring players in the team. I don't know. I think I think you can worry too much about the third player on your bench. You know, when we're talking about Greenwood or Wickham in my personal team, you know, lots of players are Cantwell potentially as well as a fifth midfielder for a lot of players. I think you can worry a bit too much about those teams when when you can make a bigger effect on your point tools for those weeks, you know second sub third sub. I'm not so concerned about it's more about who's actually starting the game and I think you're right. I think Cantwell is a problem. I don't think Diop is a problem. He's at home to Newcastle I'd say that's not bad for a clean sheet. We've got ice amenity. He's not playing. Well, you say that say that Bart Fernandina you've gotta read this week. So I think Autumn Indian stones will actually be starting because Roger he's injured fernandinho is suspended. So I think it will actually be two cents about playing for Man City at home to Southampton which is we've caught as a clean sheet. So I think we've got away with one there. I do worry about that. Even this week. He's certainly not somebody that we want a team long term there is because I think it depends made it clear that he's no longer first choice. He's a stay of execution presently. I'm very clear with you. I'm I'm not talking about having a bench with points on I'm talking about like who are attempting 11 players in the first team. We don't want I think it's important to have to look at your first team and see potential points everywhere and I think home in Saint isn't a problem. He looks like he's like playing well if you look at although this particular week it obviously is a weekly. You want Sterling if you look further ahead after this week you've Have a pool Chelsea. Then you Castle Burnley and then man united Arsenal's are really tough one effect. Just coming up for a city. I think if we took can control ourselves to get City players in right now, it might end up looking short-sighted in a few weeks time. I don't I'm Gonna Cancel eyes you with this. So if you give me Sterling, I will bring it J B VAR D for a balmy. Yang about being was saying his potential Troll. He's trying to personally Andy we can bring in Jamie vardy. We can bring Jamie vardy for him a man on form with the fixtures Sterling and VAR D out go about me owing and son. That's a pretty that's pretty crazy. I agree. That's an upgrade. It does leave us with issues. Like I still feel like we've got like structural issues with the team that we haven't dealt with by doing that though and we might want to do that next week instead. I don't know but I do feel like having like those four players. That's a plus. Because of enabler as well really the most of them most of the next six weeks. I feel like we've got too many. We do need at some point plan to get rid of probably to out of McGann Cantwell ottoman D&D op at some point in the next couple weeks. Yeah, I think maybe this week we could leave mcginn in there. I know it's a tough experience Liverpool, but they are considering your goal and he is a big threat for Villa and maybe he's our our fourth midfielder the plays more than count. Well, we just leave Cantwell on the bench to rot for a little bit. What do you reckon been? You're very quiet. Yeah. I like it. I just that was a good point mentor to many a hen and thought about that. But if we do this move, then we could do often Mehndi to a lesser Defender Maybe. Next week. But yeah, I do I would like to get rid of him again or upgrade begin with this this money, but would probably have to be next week as well. We could take a hit we could play, you know, many wild card in play three triangles absolutely should we do bonds from again? Oh, that's nice that let the computer. Can we please all three we afford that well. Yeah, we can we just be taking it here. Yeah, definitely. Yeah, we just be taking a hit. I think it's sad to lose mcginn because I don't think he deserves it. I mean he's he's not done it, you know in the last few games but he's got some tough fixtures and I think he's a value pick that has produced in the season so far and they've got you know, you know, if we could hang onto maybe we could make our third transfer count. Well instead of mcginn, you know, if we got rid of Cantwell brought in the other two would still have 5.4 to spend it. Failed. So is there anyone that you'd be interested in at 5.4 the top scorers in that bracket are becoming. Toma de Cantwell traoré your genie. Oh, yeah not hey, there's always Noble but yeah, there's not a lot to go with their but if we're picking yeah, we are picking a star around because we're saying leave them again on the bench as s tricky. Okay, that hasn't worked. Damn it. I still think begin to bonds may not be all you could we could even go up to T lemons, but it's unclear to me who's a better pick at that price. We could go for any of the Lester attacking midfielders. So this is where we could steal a March we could triple up on Lester in this game week Sterling VAR D. And then any of Perez T lemons or bonds? Basically we get to pick between us now. I think Paris even is Paris top and we'll miss fixtures. He's not like a proper first team of the way. The other is I think actually maybe maybe bonds and Perez are rotating much I was working but I'm I know although Paris he To me. It seems to one of these players you randomly shows up like here, but I had to get a 9 mil but he's not somebody who's a consistent score points. I don't think so. I would say from that group. We're going to 40 lemons. He's the one He's a pretty good fourth midfielders to start is neat elements. I think I'm think I'm on board with that his ownership. As a lot of the Lesser players is still low. He still differential 5.7 million. And so yeah for me I think Barnes is out of the picture because he doesn't get the minutes and we're looking for someone seriously starting Perry's there is a bit of concern over minutes, although he has just picked up a hat trick. But yeah humans, I like that one. Should we do it now before you Get I mean I just yeah, I think of me right now that team so that just be clear what I've done. I've got tea leaves in firm again Sterling enforce on his body and for about me and I'm looking at it right now. Should I press save? Yeah, it's a bit of a risk with the League Cup, but I think do it because because those values are going to change anybody's going to change key elements going to change Sterling might even change. So yeah, I say go for it time risk. I just confirmed it the Rick has been taken. I am 17 again next week looks as follows we've got poping goal over budget yelping puppy goal defense of Alexander Arnold ottoman DC into and the up the field of telamon Sterling man end of roaring. All right like that a lot and then body and Abraham up front with the bench of Cantwell, Rico Greenwood and button. I like that. That's a good team. I think that's a really good team. I look good looks great for clean sheets. It's good for points in Midfield and up front. So the only question is captaincy. I mean, I've I put my my money on Sterling. What do you think? I agree and my money's on Sterling assuming he doesn't play leak up. Yeah, and we have I think I still think it's important to not gamble too hard on guardiola's roulette. So I would say body as Okay, fair enough Sterling and VAR device. Nice. That is probably the most succinct team team transfer section. We've had so far. Hopefully it works out and we've actually made the transfers this time. So the chance and take a quick break and then when we come back we're going to have a guest doing the gust buttons for I think Gary is going to join us. So we'll see you in a sec. Okay, we're back and we've got a cameo appearance off the bench in you know to waste some time at the end. It's Gary and with the gut punts how we doing this week. I don't care. How you doing. Yeah, I think I think I got dropped this week after my my prediction last week. I was listening back to my preview for Southampton versus Lester which started the work. My first words were I think this looks like a tight a close one. So So I did I did I did you did you did bring it on to Southampton towards the end and I did say don't don't put any Southampton players in which was Sage advice, which I wish I had followed in my own team. But I thin stead I brought an Angus gun for gas and eager which ranks up there with another in a season of disasters another another disaster, which is cost me eight points. But but anyway, but for a play but for a player who can see the nine goals, he didn't even get any minus points. Did he? Yeah. Yeah, he might he managed to he must have talked up six saves which at least grabbed him a couple of points. But yeah, no there wasn't there was a moment in that game where Madison scored and I thought hey that's five points. And then I was like, oh no, it's only four points because he's knocked another one off the gun my team play against each other and not points off each other. It's terrible. Bittersweet anyway, so yeah for the Cameo I will say my my predictions in the actual Fantasy game are going terribly this season, but in terms of the gut punch Sleek, I'm still I'm still roaring away with it. So Aaron Connolly for Brighton got two assists and nine points. So I've extended my lead at the top of our league to 32 points now, but it was quite a strong weak because been picked out marcial who Eventually got six points after missing a penalty and then Duncan you went with Alonzo who's got another clean sheet and he got three points for Felipe Anderson and still in last place. It's Matt bringing up the rear his pick of land. Zini managed to hold one point. So that is keeping up his Peerless record of picking players and teams that always win but do terribly But yes, it explains how we're going to kind of change things a little bit round with the got punts this year this this week. So you may remember at the start of the Season we would have been doing a good pot each week and we picked what was like a season-long punt where we have someone who was kind of people to stand by as like trustee players for the whole season, but then I think we thought that it was a little bit monotonous going through the same players. So we And of putting this in a box with kind of the player-manager those Leeds United numbers on the socks and a cheerleaders at football matches all those kind of ideas that seem like a good idea but we're going to we're going to pack it away at least for the moment. And what we're going to bring in instead is like a monthly pick. Hopefully this will be a bit more useful for the listeners. So we'll still do a weekly pick for a good pain if you're looking for instant impact, but we're also free. Each month now for the rest of the season. We're going to pick a player that we're going to have play every game that season on our gut punt table and that's going to be a chance. So you're kind of looking at short-term short-range four or five games who are the players to have we've got a few highlighted for this for November. So basically from game week 11 through to game week 40 and the rules are the same as they were before that we have less than five percent ownership. It and less than 6 million pounds. So we're not going to go for any of the premium players for this. It's going to be who are the who are the bargains that you can get in that? No one else will have so yeah without any further Ado unless anyone has any further comments to add on that will go into the players that people have picked for this week. I can I just say Gary there was there was the rule where they have to be under 6 million if there are a striker or midfielder, but for Defenders, it's under 5 million. That's right. Yes. Yeah because I think Defenders are generally bit lower priced. Although this first month. I think everyone's gone for either midfielders or attackers seems mainly Midfield as we've gone for ya. So let's maybe we will maybe we can start with Andy because I don't actually know who and he's good point for. Week is but yeah and you want to tell us a bit about your choices and they tell you both of them together. Yeah. Yeah. Might as well sure. So for my short-term weeklies hunt with the injury to Roger E. And the the red carpet fernandinho. I think that ilk I've been doin is a suit a shoo-in for the city Midfield and when he plays that role he just tends to sort of randomly pop up with goals in a season sees takes so they sort of a surprise free kick taker sometimes so yeah, he's my weekly pranks. I think you'll play and they're they're up against Southampton. So we expect a thrashing in that game. My monthly got punt is coming up to the door who we mentioned earlier isn't necessarily A shoo-in for to play every game given Christian ballistics prolific if you will, but I think that he He doesn't start he'll get on for the last 20 minutes against tired legs. And if he does start is an extremely talented player in a very attacking side. And so yeah, I think he's likely to get if he plays two out of the four games and gets 10 points in each of those two games something like that. I think that's not not unachievable given the fixture list. They've got and so yeah, I think I think he's a decent decent shot for the next month. Yeah and Chelsea seem to be scoring goals at fun this season out there so that they're attacking players seem to be a good good long-term that yes indeed. So, yeah, he's my team a long-term been going to gone for this week. Great. So I'm moving on to Ben. You've got a bit Maverick in this this section and doubled up. So you're putting all your eggs in in one bright and shaped basket. So Ben do you want to tell us a bit about your your choice? Yeah. My choice is Erin Connolly 4.6 million to percent ownership for my weekly pick. I think he'll do pretty well gets Norwich monthly brighten her. Tough Run of fixtures, but I don't know I think brighten this season are very different team and more attacking team. So I think I'm I'm betting he'll nail down his spot in this next month and hopefully get me some points. Excellent and I should say that Matt's who's not on the past week. He's also putting his eggs in their bright and basket at least for the weekly Pond. He's going for Leandro truss odd who we've talked about quite a lot of the starts and and he's just come back from injury. So that's obviously backing him to make an impact this week and for his monthly pick he's well as I say, I will remind our listeners that matters bottom of the table, but for his monthly November pick he's going for Scott. The United Terrier there, although I think it has quite a few points this season. So yeah, whatever on think of them worked on a pick for November, I think and I think Matt's he's done something that they should never do which is when you're Dullard you try and go Maverick, but you picked a lot of pics. So we terminate is a Maverick Dullard pick and I don't think it's going to work out for him if it does. I'll be very impressed not take my hat off to him, but you get what I mean. It's like it's Maverick but it's also quite dull art. I am I posted earlier on our WhatsApp group The the definition of the word delusion, which is an idiosyncratic belief or impression that is firmly maintained despite being contradicted by what is generally accepted as a reality or rational argument. Typically a symptom of mental disorder. That is how I would describe picking Scotland terminate your one of them guns. It's got full. He's he's going to bet. He's got a bit weird. He's normally such a sensible player. He's brought in Nicola Pepe this week into his team as a Maverick pick. It's just it's off the wall. He's gonna have a guard and didn't do we think he's having options. Maybe I whatever's happening to him. I'm quite worried. Okay. Well well anyway, we'll let will let that defend himself maybe on the next Parliament and fight back with his rationale one swans Pepe and Rick Tom and I have blasted in hat-tricks next week. So yeah, Duncan, do you want to tell us a bit about your picks? Yes. So for my weekly pick I've gone for a guy that I was shouting out in the previews for game week 11 is Benjamin Mehndi, so he's come back into the team after His injury he's played two games in the last two game weeks. It's got a clean sheet in both of those. He's yeah 5.9 million. So he's dropped down from his kind of Premium Defender price 1.1 percent owned and he has a history of good attacking returns for defensive player. So I think he's a great pic of the moment marks Southern's who runs Fantasy Football Scout has brought him into his team this week. And I think it's that kind of he's one of those As players where you're looking to climb the rankings, you're looking for players with a lot of explosive potential with a low ownership that people aren't thinking about just yet and I think mende definitely falls into that category. Yeah, so I think he's a good pick for this week against Southampton at home. I think that's a great chance of a clean sheet and attacking turns down that Left Flank as well and and southampton's right which is their dodgy half and and for my monthly pick I've gone for years A Perez. Have picked up a hat-trick. So I'm definitely chasing the points. But I'm hoping that that kind of gives them a confidence boost gives a bit of time in the team as well. And I think Lester having watched that game. They just looked so impressive and I wanted to pick one of them. Parrot. It was either Perez or Harvey bonds under the 6 million point because Paris is dropped down from six point five to six million now. So I think now is the time to pick him up and yeah, and I think he offers a lot. Attacking threat then Harvey bonds. So I think he's a decent shout and his ownership is down to 4.5% 4.1% as well. So it's a nice differential for a kind of Striker playing out of position slightly. Yeah, and he tends to kind of Scots to Goran clutches doesn't care because he kind of towards the end of last season. He was banging the goals in so hopefully for Perez owners, he's hitting that run a form. They don't know how a lot of people had him at the start but maybe not so much now. Yeah, we'll have to speak. Yeah, so I think it I think that's a good pick. So I think yeah, so some some definite ones to think about there for the month. I Hudson and I Perez, who knows Mike Tomlin a I can kind of just a Little bit of Defense of my I can see where he's kind of coming from in terms of menus fixtures. Look very good. And I was toying with actually Pereira for this for this spot. He's not a blower has done much recently, but he plays a bit further forward than tommen a and seems to be getting minutes at the moment. But instead for my monthly pick, I'm going to go with Dwight McNeil who is a bit of a favorite of mine. I don't know if I had him in the team briefly last. Last year, but I feel like he Burnley don't have a lot of roots to go. But he seems to be involved in a lot of what they've done. He's already got four assists so far this season and I think why Burnley are interesting is that they've at least for November they've got some very nice fixtures coming up. They've got to away games at Sheffield United and Watford which they could feasibly win and two home games at home to West Ham and The may be the trickiest is at home to Palace because they do travel well. But what you think they're all winnable games? I think that that for 6 million pounds Dwight McNeil's a good one and then short-term just for this week because I'm smashing the got punched stable, but I'm never having these pies in my team. I'm going to go with a player in my team just to just to hope that somehow this will rub off on my drastically underperforming fantasy team. So someone I brought in lieu this week Aaron Cresswell from West Ham. Partly because he had some some nice-looking fixtures coming up particularly last week to Sheffield United which didn't work but next Saturday Westheimer at home to Newcastle. So I'm backing on and getting a clean sheet against them and maybe some attacking me turns as well. So yeah, well, we'll keep you updated maybe on the end of the month who's got the most points out of these players and and at the start of the end of November will pick your pick a player to watch for December for everyone. I think Dwight McNeil is a cracking sound. I think he's like you say he's one of their main sort of creative players who takes their corners and they're a big tall side this, you know dangerous from Corners. So that's a really good show, I think. Yeah, I think I saw a stat on Match of the day this week that he has the most create. He's created the most chances or has the most crosses for the Berkeley team. Probably not much competition. But yeah, we could shout at 6 million. All right, that one and I like the back to your garden brought Creswell in as your gut Punt and into your own team. Yeah, I think I've already got off to such a bad start this season. I've just gotta try and do a few more gut-punch now because it's not it's not going to it's not going to be a glorious season. I've got a lot of catching up to do I think like a mirror is a turducken based on your gut punch outrageous lead and form. I think you've just got to bring in those players to your team. Whoever you got on his bring them in. I think it's an interesting moment is like an irresistible Force meets. The immovable object is Gary's got punt from going to win or is Gary's family team formed? Yeah, we'll sit we'll say but yeah, I've got my eyes in our league on the hive mind team. I think they're catchable. They've they're struggling a little bit last week with tips for Madison and Marcel who both scored today, but ya know it's I think I think maybe the hive mind team is going to it's going to turn around soon as well. Yeah, well have a listen back to the That section this week. I think you'll be pretty impressed by the transfers. We've made possibly less Maverick than you would have gone. But definitely some good transfers in there. And if you don't follow us already on Twitter, give us a follow at FPL FF Fanatics.

Ben, Andy and Duncan look back over GW10, which at last is not a low scoring week! Andy gets excited again about the Man Utd attack with their free flowing moves and even talks about that little thing called hope. Ben delights in a tackle inspired by the Rugby world cup and a Xhaka meltdown to boot. Duncan reminisces over that 0-9 result and picks out one player for his breakthrough performance. There’s discussion of unexpected high scoring keepers, the return of the FPL trolls and that De Bruyne goal that wasn’t. In the GW11 previews there’s one more game to watch and decide on Man Utd assets before their great fixture run, Ben encourages us to keep an eye on the league cup games and Duncan highlights a teams’s record busting weakness with an opposition’s flank in form. There’s a cameo appearance from Gary in the gut punts and a new feature to introduce as we wave farewell to the season long punts, Glenn Murray how little we knew ye.
