FPL GW3 - Let The Fun Begin | Burning Questions | Fantasy Premier League 22/23

Hello and welcome to a new episode of the

fantasy

football scout

burning

questions

series. In this series, the pros and I, Sonaldo, talk about the key hot topics of the week. This week we are joined by a special guest and good friend of FPL Hibbo Hippo, welcome. but first, advantages, how are they? I'm doing great thank you yeah another week of vacation with a limited viewing experience so I apologize if I missed some nuggets but I'm excited to be back and very excited to be co-hosting our friend hibo uh and for those who you might not know, I mean a lot of you will, uh, but you know hibou has been on Twitter for three years.

Wright used to write a great thread called breaking the roster on center, but more recently on scout. We are very excited to have him and he will write a sensible article about the captain, which is something I read almost every week and especially weeks like this where you are deciding between two, two important players, so welcome. Do you know that we've known each other for over five years on the Nirvana scouting forums and now on Twitter, so it's a pleasure to stream with you for the first time? Yes, thank you for inviting me to the program. a special moment because i know we are good friends and we like the fpl space and this is the first time we are talking face to face so i have known you for about five years, praveen and wandy for a little over a year but just wanted Before we start, let's just get down to it, but Burning Questions was the best news show in the FPL content space last season and I thought they were both fantastic.

Scott's phrase and I think his success is well deserved. Thanks buddy, I mean explorer. you've done well to bring in good people, which is true for Randy and you, and you know it's good to do this and hopefully now that you're writing for Scout, we'll be seeing a lot more of you, so you know it's a pleasure. start and let's get going, Andy, yeah, let's get going, because the first thing I did was I had the baker's handle up there, I'm sorry, but it's changed if you change it now. I changed it, but is this handle correct? hibble underline fpl Yeah that's right okay oh cuz last week I was wrong too so apologies guys yeah no excuses but anyway I'm locked and loaded this week we have a very special episode .

They know we're doing some transfers, I think. Ross and I are into hippo hits not so much, but we'll get to our teams at the end, we'll go through sort of a game week three through eight, with the eight being the last game week before the international break and I'm sure there's a lot of content about this period in time, but we'll go through it, pick out some teams, pick out some players from certain teams, and then talk about some key dilemmas that are hot-button.

questions

and then hibo has some great stuff on captaincy so I know a lot of people are deciding between people like Jesus and Salah as well as Holland so I'm very interested to hear what you say about captaincy so without further ado, let's get started first guys quick add on this is your last chance to get last year's price for

fantasy

football scout it's 2.49 per month and billed annually and will go up to 2.99 after the deadline on Saturday, so last chance this week to get the pre-season pricing, okay, I'm going to have to change your name again, um, so bear with me, uh, okay, why don't we get started?

It's good to start, yes, yes, okay, okay, so first things first, we have the match schedule. game week three to eight um as you can see there are some changes from the original teams that you had in game week one um you know a lot of us were loaded, not loaded, but we have aston villa wolves players and newcastle and now they are at the bottom of the match schedule and then at the top of the match schedule, now you have Brighton Brentford up there and it's very interesting because Brighton have played very well the first two weeks of play, so that there will be many changes in the following ones, not many. changes, but a lot of changes in the next six game weeks, so you know, this is only six game weeks because it's the international break after eight, but if you want to break it down to look for short-term clearances, for example, just to The Champions League Pros and I did episode one on the wildcard time, so you can check it at different times and also the wildcards, so anything you know you notice from here, initially, the pros watch , I think first the window we have chosen. it's because going back to our first game week one video, we think you know you have to try to hold out until game week nine if you can, obviously if there are problems on your team, vote for a previous wild card, so this is like It's a crossroads game week because a lot of people are looking to restructure major restructures and we'll come to my team, for example, I took three, I made three transfers, some are looking pretty good because things have developed in some way. where they made about 50 or 50 decisions and decided to go after Harlan in the first game week having a Diaz and not a Nunez, so those are things that worked, but if you look at this six game week window, this is what will answer our questions about who.

If you would like to have even the wild card, if that is the base case, then nothing really stands out, apart from the fact that again the good teams have good games, so Arsenal continues to hold until the eighth game week, don't think about it . about your triple, Manchester City are fourth in the ticker, they would have to know that you back them to win any game, but when they have easy games, that's what you have to double, whether in attack or defense, Chelsea again is very high on the ticker and Liverpool are in the middle, but that's probably because Man United is red here and probably shouldn't be red, so there's nothing more to add there.

I think people already knew that Villa are short term puns. People know that wolves are fine. until the sixth gameweek so that's where we are and I guess the only last one is that the Newcastle people punted on Trippier for the first two gameweeks. I think it worked really well, but now they're thinking: can we go differently? can we go somewhere else? even though you can have a rotation within andreas pereira hebel, I want to put you on the spot, uh, right away, is there a way to watch the games in general? I guess you know what match increments you look at, are you more of a You know, short term, long term, fixture type of finder, what's your um?

You know, when it comes to accessories. What is that really bad? No, you weren't on a fine, so every time I'm thinking about setting up In a certain game in FPL, I might think about a horizon of well, I'm mainly thinking about when I'm going to play the first white guard, so I might be thinking in preparing my overall team for the first eight weeks, the general ambassadors that they established. Raise him to be solid, I'm not talking about many points of things that could go wrong, for example if we look at the starting teams and the parts of the roster that are starting to creak, we can see that ponds like Bayley. and NATO are the ones that are really starting with the template that is disappearing, but I think Llamat knows that at the

begin

ning, but in the future, I look at some types of three-trick blocks, I think sometimes it's okay to be looked at. but short term because otherwise you could miss opportunities if you look too long term, if you know what I mean, I think right now, if we look at the Spurs, I think the Spurs have, they're jumping on the page .

Now, with fantastic games, they have Wolves Forest West Ham and Fulham, as you know, so over the next four I think they are particularly attractive and I don't think many people are talking about Spurs at the moment, yes, no, absolutely . true, I think splitting it up and the other things to keep in mind, people should know this, but just to point out that gameweek 5 will be a midweek gameweek, which basically means you can expect some rotation, it's possible that you have some visibility from a game week four, but then trick five should let you know that all the turnover-proof assets that we have may not be as turnover-proof as we think in the big five game and then Obviously, the Champions League starts after gameweek six, so that's something to think about.

Yes, I feel like the rotation is quickly approaching us, so it can be good to go in at five and six with two free transfers and be able to maneuver and adapt when that time comes. The next thing we're going to look at is provided by a second oh gosh, sorry guys, okay, perfect provided by uh fpl Chase um and fpl Chase is a beloved member of the community that you know and you know very, very well with his graphics and visuals and what What we have here are clean sheets predicted. and he predicted goals um and he conveniently moved from week three to the game also in week eight, so what you see in, for example, Liverpool 0.44 is that there is a 44 chance of them getting a clean sheet in week 3.

So Total is what you expect. 3.2 clean sheets, so basically three clean sheets in the next six games, so it's a good graph to go along with what you want to see in terms of matches, so anything that stands out here for you two, I mean, en It is quite obvious that strong teams have the highest probability of keeping a clean sheet. You can see that Brighton are in number seven with a chance of two clean sheets out of six, so that bodes well for Sanchez, Arsenal, uh 2.5, so maybe Ram you still know that Nick has two or three clean sheets. middle sheets, so it's a good way to predict, but obviously predictions are just predictions for a reason, yeah, I mean, this is the alternative match indicator, essentially, if you wanted to look at it, it's the attack match indicator because gives you how many goals.

Do you expect or how many clean sheets do you expect these teams to keep? You should also temper expectations, so if you have a Brighton goalkeeper, for example, Brighton are expected to keep two clean sheets in the next six game weeks as a base case. so let's not expect good matches, it means four or five, that is basically outside the norm, this is essentially two, that would be correct, anything less would be bad luck and anything more would be good luck, that is something that helps us gauge where we think our teams are and one thing that stands out is looking at Leicester so the people that are on the Warden Iverson train yeah it saves you a point five or a million they are expected to have a clean sheet during the next six weeks of play, so don't do it.

Be afraid if you have opted for that structure and think I have some money. I don't really have a transfer to do it, I mean change your guardian if necessary, right? I have an FPL rule. that I don't keep the transfers until the first time, can we? This is the kind of thing you need to adapt when you look at things like this. Nice, uh, what about you? What if you notice something here? Yes, well, the only thing that stands out. When I look at these two graphs, if I look at, for example, the projector goals and I look at the projected clean sheets, I guess what I've observed in the first two weeks of play is that Everton are very low on both projected goals. and I projected clean sheets now I think at the moment Everton or a team the target, I know there has been a lot of chatter in the community and people are talking about alternative options in the space of 5.5 million mud fields and Gray has was one of those that has emerged.

I don't think Grace has scored a goal in a thousand miles of football, so I'm not sure we're investing in any effort and assets at the moment. I know they'll play Corey under the defense, but I don't trust him. and in fact, I'll try to target them if it's entirely possible and I think people look at Everton games and say, look, they're actually on a pretty decent run, but I think it's better for the teams they play like they're looking at against nottingham forest brantford and leeds like brentford and leeds I would like those home games against everton yeah I think also another thing I really like about using charts like this is breaking them down into the individual game week like this that, for example, a lot.

I think this game week obviously doesn't bode well, but for example, if you can rotate them, you can always use them in the fourth game week, where there are much more possibilities. of a clean sheet as well as the sixth game week, so it's a good way to rule out certain individual game weeks in addition to the grand scheme of six game weeks, the clean sheet percentage is fine and, again, this is by fpl Chase on Twitter. uh, these are projected goals, soexpect Manchester City, for example, to score 14 goals, 14.2 goals in the next six game weeks, which is quite absurd and you can see that, for example, in the fifth game week there is a chance that they will score 3.2 goals in that game, so another one.

It's a good indication of how many goals a team will score and obviously we see Manchester City, Liverpool, Tottenham, Arsenal, Chelsea, close to the top, including Manchester United which is very interesting, and then the wolves at the bottom, as predicted, and certainly, anything you see here. come to you first hibble what is this again sorry andre oh sorry maybe you can't see it but it's projected goals um if you can't see it, I'll go to prosperous probably everything written everything projected goals that I have I have the gun page 200 from Chase up here now you're so I think it's pretty familiar like we're looking at the top it's a good team scores goals so you're looking man I'm sorry, Liverpool Spurs Arsenal and Chelsea Arsenal and then, towards the back as expected Bournemouth looked a threat Wolves are looking to become quite a placeToothless Attack Everton I've been playing without a striker then I take my advice I guess you're quite reliant on the mud so I think this reflects quite a bit the equipment standard.

Actually, for my part, there are a couple of things that I had as an observation. So there's a dichotomy here where Liverpool are expected to keep more clean sheets than Manchester City over the next six gameweeks. Manchester City are expected to score more goals than Liverpool, but if you look at the transfer trend, I'm one of those people. sell the Liverpool defender to get a Liverpool attacker and now they are doubling Manchester City's defence, that doesn't mean they are both bad because they are both second but it basically boils down to x minutes if we had a better player. option in Man City and maybe 14 is one we don't know yet, but if we had one then they are clearly superior to Diaz, but then you have to take into account the state of the game or what is happening around the statistics, and this is where our observations, this is why we have, you know, people who watch the games who follow what's happening with the transfers, what's happening in the game, that's where a Nunes red card, for example, becomes important for Diaz, that's where a Tiago Silva injury or Fernandinho form becomes important for Robertson None of them have turned bad, they just go from best to second best, so what we're talking about are good ones margins, but that's something that stood out and the second thing that stands out in these charts is that it's incredible. that we can get to the top five attacking teams among the top five defensive teams pretty easily with the price, yeah you don't have to go down and clear a team in the bottom half or bottom 10 of this projected target, so who is in the bottom 10 aston villa leads west ham southampton nottingham forest newcastle now i see some people saying i'm going to bailey to almeron or do you know someone else from newcastle or i'm going to rodrigo now they might be ok They can work but it What I'm saying is that if you're really looking for a leading attacker, he'll score seven goals as a team in the next six game weeks, whereas if you go for a Liverpool attacker, they'll.

It's not the same price, I understand, but you have to compare this on your terms. If you go for a structure that doesn't have leading players, you basically get points from these top teams who will get clean sheets or score goals. so I think something you need to think about is where can you really afford the players on these top five teams to have the most goals to score and the most goals or the fiercest goals they will concede; The other thing is, so far, the first two weeks of play, who are the teams that have disappointed are basically teams that are outside of this top five.

You could argue that, you know, some Spurs players have disappointed. You know if it's Perisic, Sun or Kane. In the first week of play, Kane went through, but it's the Leeds boys, it's Aston. villa guys you know who went for irensen bailey or net these are the guys that disappointed but still i see the biggest transfer cars are for teams again not in the top five so you have the guys from Brighton, they have clues. guys, they can work like I said, but be careful, how many goals are you really expecting in the next few weeks?

Is it worth it or do they think that a restructuring will improve it and they go for the defender and another? The attacker of these top five dates gets in the way of anything to add, yeah, the only thing I'll add is that it's always kind of a look back and like Chase's sheets, I love butts, but then I think you have to clean up, add a bit of context and if we're looking at Liverpool at the moment, they started doing crazy follow-ups the other night, so they have a little bit of weaknesses in the center of defence, now I know Joe Gomez is going to come in, but that's never going to happen. it will be like this. considered and type of future production, so like you, we also have to take into account the equipment that the teams are playing with at the moment.

I think Plasma makes a great point about Luis Díaz and Darwin's red card. I think Darwin has been absorbing a There are a lot of cycling opportunities for Liverpool and they have to go somewhere and they are not going to choose the menu, so I imagine we will see Salad and Louis Ds coming more than four in the next few weeks, yeah , then maybe we'll transition to teams. Yeah, sure, okay, shout out to FPL Chase again. You know their charts were created after two weeks of play, so limited data, but thanks for that, so what we're going to do is, you know, look at this match schedule and go over some of them. teams, not all teams, but I guess we'll start with Brighton at the top of the fixture schedule three to eight with three home games and three away games, so the last two again the data was limited, but the last two games Brighton xg vs Man United were 1.65 man united 1.20 brighton vs newcastle xg was 1.55 versus 0.18 so it was a very very offensive game in this previous game against Newcastle you know , Brighton third in terms of open play xg, fifth xg behind man city arsenalliverpool chelsea and third defensive xg behind man.

City and Brantford again have limited data so take it for what it is and it's different, you know, teams, different matchups, um, you know, just at a glance, uh, you know, players to send players to the target. You have Sánchez in goal, maybe a dunk as a defensive option, I think. he has 4.5 uh now he has a raw price of 5.6 but he is the best of all midfielders in terms of xg and xgi um and he is also very likely to take penalties. You also have Trossard in 6.0 and I messed with him a bit. He seems to be playing multiple positions and in fact when he plays multiple positions he gets his best results with Potter which is very interesting but he comes out almost every game around the 60 70 70 minute mark so I'm not sure if I would go there. it's an article by tom freeman about um troussard, so read it if you have any interest in him and know another striker who is interesting is welbeck.

I think welbeck have looked pretty decent, pretty threatening, but the problem is they're not. Really scoring, so are we somewhat misled by the statistics here? Do you know what we think about Brighton's assets? I know a lot of people are already raw and for good reason have great matches coming up, so yeah, I'll start. With your hippo, well, looking at the first two games, I think Gross has been pretty advanced and has produced the biggest numbers for Brighton, so I think he's had four shots, three big chances and scored two goals in the first two , but that has For me, the draw against Manchester United has inflated me because the two goals he scored were two great opportunities.

I don't think he'll score two easier goals in his life. It would be something like him. I think he has valued himself. out of the conversation as a replacement for nero and bailey because he first went up to 5.6, but i know we'll talk later and if we're talking about an fpl meta, anyone who is playing cf-442 where they have salah luis. diaz um neto or bailey could maybe transition to having an extra defender instead of replacing someone like grass. I think that's what we would call abs. I guess that's an excellent point. I was going to do this too and it doesn't compare, so if filtering any midfielder under 8 million, he stands out, I don't think there is anything to deny that the good games he has seen looked advanced, as you mentioned, there is a bit of a threat As of now they have signed a left back.

It may not happen immediately, but Trossard can move up, he could take Lalanna's position, but it's something that will change in terms of how they play, but it seems disgusting, he's a good option, there's nothing against him, the problem is whether If there was a better midfielder in seven million, seven and a half million people would have gravitated towards that, instead of him, he's not a talisman, so I see in the comments that some people have made a suggestion that if Brighton don't score enough goals, that shouldn't matter because it's You know they'll score some and if he gets most of them then that's fine, but we don't have data to say he's a talisman type of player.

You know Welbeck have been playing well. Trossard is actually quite actively involved in the attacks. and he takes the ball a lot more when he moves higher up rather than playing as a left back, so these are things we just don't know and the question is is he a good option, yes, is he structurally better than a defender of 5 million? Since you mentioned the hippo, my answer is no, so it's a question for people from five years ago. Want? So you have to look at what the price is and how you restructure it, which was my problem, but if I had. a back four, I wouldn't go to a grocery store, I would definitely go to a five million defender, yeah, I think so, because look, go ahead, Bill, if we're looking at Manfield, you've got Salah Martinelli and you know Louise Diaz, really.

I think they could be blocked now and on a mud field if you play like five three two, so the people who play four four two who have Salah Martinelli Díaz and CNN or Bailey, I think it's an easy change, as you know, yeah. There are options at that price in the fans, yes I think the pros hit the nail on the head when you're looking for an individual replacement for gross at their price, gross at their price, there really isn't anyone that stands out. For Bailey and Neto, there really isn't anyone that stands out, so we're all gravitating towards the disgusting, but if you look at the kind of combinations between what 5.0 defender can I get to get someone like Diaz, Foden or Gundagon. or even a greelish, then the conversation becomes very different, so again, I think when I looked at it, a one-on-one transfer from Bayley to Gross just wasn't compelling enough to go there, so I think that's and I think Brighton's defense.

It is something that we already know very well, I mean, they are a good defensive team, they work as if in a system that they really do not have, there are still no signs that they are suffering from bisuma, cucurella sales or dan burns sales. I've lost a lot of people, but it's a system team and you'll expect clean sheets, so I think the people who were Sánchez, the people who are thinking about dunking, I think it's fair, there's no problem, They are predicted to keep two clean sheets. for the next six game weeks, which is fine for that price, so there will be no problems when we get to Leeds we will compare Rodrigo with Gross, but at the moment I think Gross is definitely a good option.

Yeah, okay, let's move on to the next team, which is. second on the fixture schedule, Brentford, you know, three home games, three away games again, the last two games, Brentford, obviously, a big win against United, 4-0, 2.06 xg front at 0.68 and maybe maybe an anomaly in the game, but it was very dominant. performance so you have brentford versus lester uh bradford actually went down xg22 so here is a mix of players to target maybe ben me henry uh in midfield you have jensen and also a new signing in damsgard i know we have seen to damsguard playing in international con competitions So I'm very interested to see how he adapts to the Premier League and then at the top you obviously have the two heroes from last year, Mmbumo and Tony, so I feel like I've seen something of noise on Twitter. about moving to Tony and for good reason I think he's a big screamer too, but Brentford, uh, what do you see here? tone because Tony transitions to Mitrovic very well because you don't have this wild card opportunity later on, if you don't have a wild card or you don't play a wild card this week, then I think you can stay away. of a three-line premium or three-front line structure becauseyou don't necessarily need to go to Mitra, which immediately made Nunes the guy who would have been the third striker and people would have gone for that which is out of the window, so therefore I think going with the Tony structure for non-wildcards it is not there.

He may do well, but there are also other midfielders or defenders who could match, so that's the first thought at Brentford. A lot of people went to Silva early and that became quite a lot. There was a controversy on saturday night, i think he's fine, de silva he'll still play and get minutes even if he's not a starter. He's a 4.5 attack, you can't ask for more, he's probably the second best 4.5 in the game, so if you did that. knowing that bailey is your 12th player and that you are going down to 4.5 absolutely fine, nothing, no problem with that at all, my personal problem was why do you do that before chelsea spurs and liverpool play and let's say if the card red was not nunes but Salah that changes everything so you ended up wasting a transfer on Saturday night but let's not go there everything was fine the people who got the silver are all fine I think Damsgard will eventually take that place , so it was very good for Denmark. a goal scorer, so let's have that conversation later, but again, if you're not starting with the silver, no problem, defenders I'm not going to go there.

I mean, why would you pick Brentford defenders even with good games when you have the five best defenders? I can pick five million even 4.5 million defenders from arsenal so this is my problem, if you wanted to go cheap go Nico Williams or Paterson at four why would you spend 4.5? You shouldn't have a Brentford defender starting every week, yes it's very Interesting, I've just talked about Tony again. um, he, you know, he's still going, you know, last season. Also, a lot of us gave up on him, I guess halfway through the season and you know he kept scoring those goals pretty consistently, so you know, a very, very tempting option in the price of the striker, hippo, whoever you are interested in in Bradford or whatever note you want.

Notice about Brentford, the key takeaway really was good, the save scored twice and I think their extreme equalizer was like no point not seven so there was a certain element to the lock because the hair really should have saved their effort easy, it's like it slides under his body, I thought the Saturday night car was strange for you, obviously like you, maybe because we had Sunday games, they come on Monday games, and like one , Andrew, the keyboard player, who you have money invested in if you have two. On transfers, you can then do a really aggressive attack and play to make people take the risk just to make the team have value.

It really wouldn't be for me. No, my key takeaway is a man you needed or Braz won't like me saying. This, I think, Mandy Nader, but I think it was focused on the month and very early stage. They are 6th worst in terms of expected goals conceded now as the sample size is small, but they played Brighton and Brentford so I think it's a start to August 10th. difficult and I think what we are seeing in my united mind is all kinds of negative aspects, everything negative that is happening with a club at the moment, it just manifests itself in the irregularities, but it must not be a great watch for many fans of NATO.

Yeah, yeah, how do you feel about us as a United fan? Look, it's a painful start, but it's too early to judge, it's a very good time to play Man United as the Hebrew mentioned, uh, because things are not in place. The fans are agitated and this is something that many pointed out: there will be a protest at Old Trafford on Monday, so you lose a goal and the players start to panic, they start to panic and you know that Ten Hog ​​has not implemented his blueprint still doesn't have the signings yet so it's a bit of a show, I mean he doesn't hide behind the fact that they are trying to play in a way where he is trying to make the players faint, hair it can't happen but Look I'm not going to rant about Man United, what I will say from an FPL perspective is a Man United goal so I hope we concede some goals, I mean this is where we are if I hope so.

We have to get it absolutely right, but it's going to take time. Can I remember that moment when um Klopp started, uh and uh, he was getting those centre-backs. I don't remember who they were basically to play from behind and it was a disaster. They also conceded goals like giving the ball away in the penalty area, someone basically pressed, got the ball and scored, that's what we're seeing, I mean two of the goals were errors, in fact all the goals were errors, but both. There were massive errors. Target Man United for now is definitely not a team to own or own assets.

Sell ​​Rashford if you sell Dallow if you go there and get attackers from other teams, but it can change very quickly. A signing or two signings could make a difference in midfield, yes, it's difficult to read, because that 4-0 was obviously, you know, a very unfortunate performance for United fans, but you know, moving into this week of games, you know, this could be a great opportunity for Liverpool or who knows, maybe they can close them down somehow, so you go to the easiest option in uh Jesus, for example, for the captaincy, so we'll get to that more late, but I think that's enough in Brentford, let's move on. to the arsenal arsenal you know, we're all loaded with arsenal, they look great, Jesus, obviously, a fantastic 19 point performance and you know, shout out to those few that did it, captain.

It was amazing, they have big games coming up, we all knew that from the

begin

ning of the season, I don't think there's much to talk about here except that you probably know a couple of

burning

questions about it, you know, for example, if you don't have Martinelli or Jesus, what are you doing? I know some people are loaded on uh you know saka jesus and martinelli so what do you do with saka? um so yeah, first you know, you triple so many questions, but what do you do for martinelli and jesus non owners? Will you continue with him as soon as possible? hippo, you buy them, I'm sorry, Jesus, if I didn't own Jesus, I think I would have bought them on Saturday night, yeah, yeah, do you know what martinis are and this doesn't really fit into the deal What did we know?

What we didn't know because we had a fair opinion that Mark Nelly was going to be a very good option because we thought that Smith Rowe was quite far away at the beginning of the season, so we knew that Mark Nelly was going to get minutes. I know the kind of production Jesus is capable of. I think he was sold for 400,000 trainers after the first week of play, so we need these third sons. About certain people who have just started showing. About our arsenal of patience. We have great matches that we know from his time in Manchester, although there will be a certain amount of attacks and his data will maybe decrease, but he is the main man in the arsenal and he has threats, he is creative, he works hard, so he is also Pretty good for bonus points, so I guess that's it. when we saw Erin Account there last season when she scored she was getting bonus points and I think we could see that from Jesus this year I think she could be a real force yeah if you look at Arsenal's attack it's all coming from the left , so If that is just a fluke of the two games because of Crystal Palace Zaha and you know how they prepared quite well, but Martinelli and Jesus are two players that you need in the attack, you are basically going against the house as I mentioned with Harland in the game week 2.

If you want to go against the house, that's your choice from the beginning, that's not me and that's not what I would suggest. People choose Martin Lee Jesus and you know that if you are already behind, you have missed all these points. Don't get into this mentality that I'm going to beat the crowd and I'm going to be different and I'm going to beat it because you're against a team that looks good and has the best games or the third best here born away from home fulham at home aston villa at home man united from visitor everton at home brentford away it doesn't get any better than this, I mean even if you take away the redness of man united and you look at that and you don't want to stay away from it if things change, if you see two or three game weeks where the form has gone down, something has changed the dynamics because you know the Europa League etc., it changes, I'm not saying that Arsenal are a team for the season, but I'm definitely saying that Arsenal are a team up to the first card if you're in a game with nine wild cards like many of us, so that's it.

I don't think there's much to say about Arsenal's attack if you have this. It is time to keep him even if he is your third attacker because again the boomers visit Fulham at home and Aston Villa at home. I mean, these next three are amazing. There is a theory of sharing the goals if they win one to zero and then one of yours. the attackers have gone blank, but this is not the time to sell because saka could be the one to lean on, but look, the sweet spot is that I think a defender whoever it is, I don't think there is a big difference between gabrielle ramsdale, um, it's in Czechoslovakia, you would. get, you'd get the bonus points and he's done better, but I don't know what happens if Tierney comes in, which we talked about in the last video, White seems a little risky, they took him out early, um and so on. tomyasu came in but if you're looking at salibar if you're looking at gabrielle zinchenko ramsdeal save them if you got them that's what it is yeah I guess this isn't a conversation in hindsight but just, you know, maybe it's not a lesson , but then again, maybe you could start over with the team from week one of the game.

There is a reason why so many people have Jesus. Their games were good. He has a large property and maybe you just don't know how risky it is to go against the house like you mentioned. pros, so it's not too late to attack him if you don't have him, he has exceptional games, he looks so good, he's a decent captain you know, a genuine captain, he shouts this week too, so, yeah, the football one for me personally it's difficult because the reason you chose saka is that you thought you valued that two million more than martinelli, while us managers who didn't choose saka thought we could save two million and martinelli could cover it somehow martinelli has done exceptionally well , he looks super threatening and I think he will continue to do well, so I'm not so sure about keeping Saka personally if you can move to possibly a different combination of different players from different teams who can improve that second player on defense for example , how about you, hippo, what?

Would you do it with saka? It depends, I don't like the attack and the problems to begin with because, if there is a goal, only two players can participate in a goal for one and I thought that Martinelli represented such value that I can't. he almost gave up on sakawee, but absolutely because he had really believed in him to begin with, i think if he had saga and had met martinell, maybe he would be looking to keep martinelli and save them, but the thing about sagas is interchangeable at that price. It's like you're looking at frames, you're looking at Luis Diaz and you can plug and play these other options so everyone has really good accessories right now, so I don't know what I would like, I could be proud. to a certain extent, the fact that if you're watching Bournemouth next, follow them next, I'm not sure I'd be able to sell saga before that, you know?

Even if I had an attacking problem, I would probably leave it for now because seeing all those types of players before those games is almost crazy, maybe yes, I mean, the thing is that there is no eight million midfielder with better games in the next three and you have to look at the selections in isolation, so if saka is your third arsenal. when you have a defender in jesus and he's blocking a martinelli, sell him for martinelli because that can help you do other things, but if saka is your only player, let's say you went for saka instead of jesus or you went for, you know, no believe. you have to delete it.

No, I don't think so at all. I mean, it was. He scored almost 180 points last season. He could be in the pens, we don't know, maybe, although Jesus has done so well, he could have done it. Give them back, all I'm saying is it's not a priority transfer if you have nothing else to do, well, look, you know, go somewhere else, but you'll end up not having a tripled arsenal before these games, so I. I'm not a fan of selling saka, of course, don't buy it. I think you should do it. The ideal triple is a defender or a goalkeeper plus Martinelli and Jesus, yes, yes, okay, good conversation, let's move to Man City and before we do it I want to do it.

Delia shouts who says, can we appreciate Jesus Delia's pronunciation of Sonaldo? I'm telling you right now, you shouldn't say that because I'm the worst at pronouncing football names and I'll get roasted all the time, so I don't do it. I don't know why I'm so bad at pronouncing names.hippo footballers, so thank you, thank you for that good positive comment about my pronunciation, you are a good man, you do a good job, you do a good job, amazing, okay. So Man City, obviously, right now are the best team in the

league

, two big, convincing wins, Netherlands.

You know, you just came back into the

league

. You have to remember that this guy is still very young and you will probably join those higher up. -tempo high paced league in the world and for him to look so comfortable and the team almost revolve around him when they attack, it's very convincing, I think Manchester City have just risen to another level with another attacking option, another game pattern. and I'm very excited to see how far they go in the champions league this season with Holland and it just goes to show that they know who the credit is, because Pep, uh, was delivered in 2015-16 when he first came to the team Pellegrini who wasn't even close to what he is now, but he still managed the next year to have an incredible season and for him to really implement his philosophy on the city team is a great thing to see and as a neutral, these are such times. exciting for man. city ​​fans um top questions about man city and the FPL double defense very popular at the moment um is double defense the way to go.

I know we've been talking pros about how midfielders are hard to predict where the points will come from. the way they score is very widespread, I mean Gundogan is now an option for many too, so that just goes to show the different routes to goal that Man City have, so maybe it's most likely because they are printing clean sheets. double defense conselo obviously blocked if you don't have him, get on him right now there is a risk of rotation with stones coming in and then I have someone in mind to bring um and then walker, I know he is very popular and now he has gone up in price in 5.1 um and if not defense you have Foden Mahrez Grealish and Gundugun also at 7.5 so maybe with Foden and Mars playing so wide now and having a real striker in Holland you can see Gundo and KDB as something like that.

Those runs to the box that we saw throughout the moments last season, so Vancity, obviously, you want to triple them, but double defense, what do you think, Hibou, where are you with that? Yes, I'm on double defense right now. I cancel it and ruben diaz and as I see this is that at this moment if you have a man I'm sorry defenders who say that you have hideo you are effectively not going to benefit from a clean sheet, you like it, you need that double, you need that second defender and the tear with what it is to keep a clean sheet, you said that the front and the clean sheet, we look at the fractures, they are absolutely incredible.

I'm going to keep a clean sheet and at 6 million I know you're talking about Walker 5.1 you're interested in Aggie. I think if we compare, they say Gundagan in the mud field. I'm not sure if I will trust this man who is a me. I'm at 7.5 million, I think I'm a pretty safe administrator, it seems like an unnecessary point at the moment because maybe I'm going to look for the plugs somewhere like Louise Diaz under the crazy field in those 8 million spaces. So it's almost, it's almost a rust, I don't want to attack and if I'm playing the odds and the odds are stacked, my favorite amounts on clean sheets, I want two defenders, the bottom on the pitch, really, yeah, yeah , so some thoughts.

From me, so number one, I have Quicksilver FPL in the chat, so he basically replaced Luke to do the weekly predictions on the team, so shout out to him and he makes a comment that I was going to make too. say which one is bernardo silva looks like he'll stay and sign a new contract he won't go to barcelona that completely kills gundagan for me unless something has fundamentally changed and let's see I don't think you can jump on gundagan right away because that's the slot where will he come in, what that means is that if bernardo silva plays kdb it gets even better because the guy who then follows the striker will be kdp a lot more than if he were gundagan, so that's the first thought.

Thinking about it in terms of defending in attack, if one of Grealish Mahrez or Foden gets injured then it is a bump-worthy move for a Man City midfielder because we have seen that they are expected to score the most goals in the next six games. weeks, but until that is the case, you have to keep in mind that they will share the minutes, they will share the goals and they will stay a little apart. There is a trend where we are seeing that they are trying to feed Holland a little more. I'm skeptical about a City midfielder.

I think foreigner is still the one if you really want it, but that's it. That's all I have to say in terms of attacking the city. It's Holland, then De Bruyne, then there's a gap. Foden and then no one else, I think he's not even there yet on defense, it's a little bit in flux due to the fact that you know, look, I think Diaz is nailed, uh, even though he was substituted, I think In 60 seconds you know. It is his place, he will be the starter, he is not 100 nailed down, no one in the city is, but it is more or less a name that begins Concello is nailed and then comes down to here, so you mentioned that he is a left-footed center back but he played ds . and stones you know in the past so it's not like I have to have a central defender on the left side so I don't think we can say that Blanket aka is going to be nailed now what could happen is that rk could move. back and they start ds and stones, which makes Walker less pinned if aka looks so good, but I think the summary on defense is Díaz close to 100 percent or 9200 cansello 9200 and then walker is a punt with I think a sure shot where you could say 75 to 80 percent should be caught and then something similar with aki um aka is one where he could lose his place immediately and you would never see him again.

I don't think that would happen with a walker, so that's essentially it, okay, I disagree here. I think Ake is nailed and I think he's going to be my guy to get past Walker. In this previous game, Aki, especially in the first half, looked really threatening. Set pieces like, as a DS owner, you have a lot of confidence because they have the ball so much that it's okay, if they can defend one or two emergency situations, they will manage to keep a clean sheet, but, as a DS owner, they just there is no attack. threat and it's like when you play FPL you want to have a little fun you want to see your defenders get involved a little I know you're laughing professionals but I thought aka had a pretty solid chance of scoring one or two headed goals In this game, the thing about Pep is you know Pep is about building and the same with Arteta, exactly like emulating a mascot.

Your left central defender and your right central defender have to be a left-footed central defender and a right-footed central defender in the The most optimal situation is that a left central defender is left-footed because they are going to widen, but he also has to being able to switch the ball to the other side in case things go wrong with the switch, I mean maybe a long cross for Someone likes mares on the other side so you saw Laporte and Diaz becoming this combination definitive from com com last season, when Pep first arrived at Man City. He also lacked that and made, what's his name?, Kolarov, Kolarov, on the left of him. central defense also on the right, so this is a pattern we have seen time and time again, exactly why he brought in Laporte.

I think that when Laporte returns, which I think is around September, then he will possibly play in the Champions League first in the Premier League. I have also seen some interviews during the summer about Ake and, you know, Aki was a very expensive signing also with the physical attributes to become a great centre-back in the Premier League and he is already a good centre-back. I think Pep is trying to give him a bigger role this year and he has shown to have a good game in the previous game, so I am willing to bet on him.

I think he wanted to do it, but what didn't he want to sell? him, but Chelsea wanted Aki, they were close, yes, I know, I know, but he is a Man City player. He's fine, he's fair, let me ask you a question. Two questions. If Stones plays. If Stone starts. He's fine, he's getting closer. play in place of Diaz, I don't think, I don't think, I think Diaz, I think Stones replaces Diaz during the game, but I don't think he's going to start some games in the next six game weeks, I mean, possibly, possibly, but I think. that it's okay to lose in the left central defense rule, like I think the optimal preparation for Band City will be that left foot and the right foot more in the central defense, so I understand it, I understand why you say you know, sons . he is a great player, right stones and ds is also a great combination, but what has he done so wrong for him to lose his place?

I don't think I've seen it yet when Laporte comes back, the conversation changes for sure, it's not right, so that's how it was. my first question the problem is that we have been there so many times it is your place to lose it is mario's place to lose it is the place to lose it is ferran torres it is the place to lose it is the place to lose and they lose it like next week game so I completely understand there's something there, but I wouldn't exaggerate it in my head because it's a six-game-week journey, it's not a big two-game-week, three-game punt, so it adds to the fact that the League of Champions has started if you add to the fact that The Fifth Gameweek is a midweek gameweek, that's what makes me doubt now.

I'm not saying Walker is better, but my next question is if Walker was also 5.0 and IQ was 5.0, you're still saying ik is better, it's not a case of you. I can't come up with one if you're right, yeah, no, I don't know. I had a chance to go with Walker for real last night, but I just believed in alias Over Walker, so I decided to wait until we get there. I'll get to our bus teams. I decided I'll wait until the last minute to hear more news from Perisic, so I figured if I was going to go to another Diaz City defender, sorry hippo, we're ranting here.

I'm going I'm going to go uh I'm going to go uh okay I believe in ake I think he'll do well I really think he'll do pretty well I don't think it's a bad thing I mean it's just I just wanted to get your conviction but also if you change of opinion and both Dourity and Perisic are starting, don't worry, you're not locked in, it's good to know that you're thinking that you know from an archetype play I had. I didn't even think of him as one of the options. My thoughts on kinema. My thinking on my side of defense is that I just want that clean sheet and I'm going to pick the boring player, which is why I packed Ruben D now.

I know I'm paying the six million premium, but I really don't want to run that cake, you know Walker, I think there's one last bad risk and I believe it. You can't agree with Brazil. Do you think if there was one? a bundle of wood, I probably wouldn't pack it to be completely honest, I know you don't want to hear that, no, it's against the norm, I think most people will say why wouldn't you choose Walker, why do you know the map of Walker heat. everything is much more offensive, much further up there, but in that last game I saw him with two or three good set piece threats, so I don't know, maybe I'm exaggerating it in my mind, but sometimes you need vibrations, true, yes, that's right. fair and what I will say is look at that kind of price in defense that five million there are options if it doesn't work you can go to gabrielle if it doesn't work you can jump on dory if it looks like if it's initial and structural I think that's where we're all trying to arrive, they know you, while Kenneth, we are talking about meta and fpl, we want the five million defender, we want the eight million mud filling and that will correct. our structure in the future because there are options that connect and play in both possessions, but well, one thing that comes to mind is that I don't want to go to those 4.5 options because I want a double defense of the city, that's why I choose a rk I can't go for a guy like Perisic because I need some money in the bank to be able to get to possibly a walker later or a double transfer yeah anyway yeah no good talks good talks man .

City and obviously there is Edison. My problem with why I didn't go to the Edison game in the first week is because I like to have more money on my 10 outfielders, so because we had options outside of Walker, you know, aka in your case, or Diaz, just I wanted to stay there. but i don't think edison for the first time, even in 5.5, is a decent option, so definitely until the big game, trick eight, that's a good good option in rk, we trust to see what happens, okay, next one game is, uh, Chelsea, there's a lot to analyze. here, brilliant, brilliant Chelsea game, I mean just dominating performance, I think probably in the first half, I've never seen a team dominate a Spurs level team, as much as if they basically didn't touch the ball, I think around 70 minutes from Chelsea. really you know, something impressive andunfortunately as Chelsea fans you probably feel a bit robbed and for good reason, as neutrals for good reason but there's a lot to talk about at Chelsea because people are interested in Cookerella now.

Chilwell, I think I just trained with the uh the. the younger division probably have a fire under their stomach after this game and um maybe this is where they go crazy um bali what an incredible player right, a goal like that, such a great goal, it's a gem in the Premier League as a central defender I think he's going to be great, by the way guys the guy who replaced Bali in Napoli is a Korean player called Kim Min Jae so watch out for him he'll be coming to the Premier League soon. I guarantee you, can you say that for Man United we need something?

Yes, no, it's fine with him replacing Napoleon. I'm really excited about it and my name will probably change from Sonaldo to Kim Jae soon, so boy, am I excited. about and uh, you know, at Chelsea there is James priority transfer, if you haven't made it, you probably should, Chelsea double defense, maybe another question, goalkeeper, wait, mount, flat track, bully, um, so there's a lot to discuss, um, where should we start? pros, where should we go? I mean, I'll let the hippo do the talking. I mean, you and I have been arguing about Man City for a while, so thoughts are mixed.

It's not like I thought this game had everything, it had the goals it had, I think it's a big burden. For both managers in the end and Cook Gorilla, I think they even pulled his hair at one point, so Kula Bay in a magnificent valley opened the score from a Cocarella corner, which is hostile to see Cooker in the race of the corners. James made it 2-1. So Grace James started at right center and I really don't like this James right center. I don't think he damages his FPL appeal in a way that's noticeable, but I think when he sees him play. right back he was almost playing as a striker when he scored the goal they made it 2-1 he was in the area just before that he made an incredible cross and that was a great opportunity they had for us, I don't know how Howard must like you a lot, that's the kind of guy who set your scene with James at right back now and also the FPL community managers discouraged James in pre-season because of all the talk about the red centre-back, don't be nice.

For his former minutes, he will sometimes play as a right central defender and low intensity games or tactically where he will score and say like son and the game just happened. I can switch in an instant and Trishall can take my strap off. him and say, "See, you're playing right back for the last 15 or 20 minutes so I don't think that's something you should be aware of and I think everyone needs Race James in their team now in terms of Cook Gorilla." . he was in the corners when he says he took four corners he had two sticky smoke crosses he had a shot in the box he created a chance that was suspicious and I think with five million there's a lot to like but I think as a group we should probably have a further discussion about them because the manats may be a problem.

I'd just like to know what you really think because what I think is that Chelsea did everything they could to buy as a very good left from the back. I spent 62 and a half million, they brought them in, they could have brought in a backup for Chillwell, I can't, I had a feeling in preseason that Chillwell wasn't going to be fully ready, we discussed this before the show, I know. You will have Cooker Ella at the World Cup. Ben Shalwell at the World Cup. They will both want to play. Personally I think a bouncer could play left centre-back at times, although that probably depends on whether Fufana comes in or not, yes I saw they had agreed terms but I don't think a fee has been agreed so I think buyers of kitchen yellow color are going to be really bad in the dark because the transfer window is advancing. to be open jump in and give me your opinion because I think he's about to have an x-men risk and the reason why he doesn't say bear until well to start with was that x-men risk noise so that's something that we are the district's patio and why cook gorillas in my limp and disgust cheaper what do you think Andy, I am very surprised that you think it is a one-minute risk, I think the opposite, I think it is nailed to start practically continuously. um because of the fact that he can play different positions because of the fact that when the kid comes in he can play the left center back role and I don't know, he was just too good for two shells to fall on him, you know, a lot of the attack came from the left and Chelsea are so good in all aspects of their team that the defending team or the opposing team has to score all over the field, which allows kukule kukarella to beat carilla and that's why I'm very surprised that hibou thinks he's a one-minute risk.

I actually think it's the opposite, don't get me wrong. I'm very interested in Cook Gorilla and he most likely lined me up. increase my transfers so much that I'm probably going to buy corella and louise de es this this week because I'm a fan, I think so, but what I would like to see is that I would like to see them. He plays as a left center back I'm sure there is a lot of talk that he could play as a left center back until I see it until I believe it until I see the window close and fafana doesn't see it there are too many variables at the moment and I think it could be very Well, I think he might be what we talked about with James and the fact that he has it, I've already played your positions, but I'm going to take a leap of faith and jump to Canada in the dark, which I don't care about and I don't mind taking risks, yes, I totally agree.

I guess if we had just one more sample of him playing alongside Chill, for example, that would be a perfect way to determine that, but yeah, look. the conversation so there are three talking points with Chelsea Mount James and Cucarella, maybe Sterling as on the periphery but James is not a discussion, if he is a right center back he is still attacking and as you mentioned Hippo with six million , it is a great center. back, I mean, if he plays right back he should have a trend price of eight million or seven and a half million, so end of discussion, if you want a trend type player who sometimes plays right back, sometimes plays central like a cooler bali.

Well, he, you know for me this was the reason for going with five back. These are the players I want on my team because they are underpriced and can get a 15 point call in cucarella terms. I don't have much to add. I don't think we can make this assumption that the left center back will be his. Yes, he played for Red Brighton, but he's never played there, not even as a substitute for Chelsea, so I think when you buy Cookerilla you have a few things in mind, he's worth five million, so if you're chilling, left-back type for five million, who plays three of the next five games, what's the damage, you know, so you need to change the thinking from that perspective. he's not a bad choice, you can be a good choice and still be a minute risk, that's the point, he's almost like a Man City midfielder, so for five million, sure, I mean that's why people love Perisic or you will see my transfers, why do people think that.

Perisic is the time to attack him because he does not need to play every minute and not all of your positions have to be. I'll figure it out and play only with pinned players, we don't have enough information, right? now to determine that, but in a world where everyone has triple the arsenal and is well owned, you will not get any advantage, everyone has the triple Liverpool, some combination, whether it's Robertson or Díaz, but triple Liverpool in a world where the people know a Chelsea defender or a Chelsea player, whether it's Mount or James, you have to find some ways to get your advantage so it can backfire, you can go for a Cookerella and the kids start the next game and Cookerella starts one and then you miss it or you could have three stars. four starts because Children isn't ready yet and you're going to get a 5 million player playing in the children's bracket so it's a high risk high reward proposition for 5 million you might want to go there so there's no nothing wrong with going there, let's have a discussion about when.

We come to the end of this section on Walker aka Cucarella Zinchenko Doherty Trippier who are the picks this period if you had to pick one but Cucarella is up there, not my best but one of my top three. I think there's Two additional concerns that come with me in terms of cookerella is that I know you don't want to evaluate doubles on defense, you want to evaluate it individually, like in this player against another player against another player, but you know, double. The thing about Chelsea's defense scares me a little because, as good as they are, they have some games, um, maybe not as incomplete, but not as difficult, with a clean sheet.

They also approach and also, um, I'm one of the questions I have for you and the professionals approach and hibo is why do people, so if the risk of minutes is a big thing for cucurella and for perisic, why People say that Perisic's ceiling is much higher than Kukarella's when I think that Cucurilla's ceiling may not be that high, but very, very high? tall um next to parasitch also this person is a god and then he is, I mean, he takes the corners with both feet uh, he can play, you know, the left forward if he has minutes, he is in everything you have to solve for Paris , which are minutes, that's all.

If you're sitting here and saying okay, the contest had their two games for Sesame, uh, they had a bad game against Chelsea, this is the time when coaches change things, trust their players and if you think the Minutes to Paris are gone. above it would take the same amount of minutes I would take paracetamol any day I don't know what you think what I'll say about the pear, for example, what price would it be if it were a mod filler, you know, with minutes or without that suggestion well, well, the same minutes probably it would be about 78 million without a clean sheet and we are getting it now for 5.4 million in defense, he has been classified as a defender and let's be honest, he is not a defender and when we look especially at the Spurs left back position, that position It is the one that seems to be closest to the goal because, like when we saw Dary last season, every time he played as a left back he was a goal magnet, as if you knew he was always there and there are about to receive many threats, so I think having a run behind them is really a small forward, I think he's a scary prospect.

If I'm being completely honest, I'm going to ask you to buy them this week because braz. you choose your sim, you pack your gear and sometimes you look so smug after you've packed your gear and I think you'll probably be smug when you pack passes because I think it's a great show yeah, no, no, no, I know. but I think if we look at those games in the next four, I think the Spurs games are great and I think after Chelsea know that you will be the time, where not?, they will say that it is the time. to pass, it's in dart there now, if you've had enough badminton, let's go to hibble the year, sure, uh, you're pretty, uh, when you have a good team too, uh, uh, you're a little optimistic there too.

Eh, there may be a little arrogance. Sometimes I think you know I can. I may think I'm right. You know, but I'm not always right. When I make a mistake, I will raise my hand and everything about what I do. I'm wrong, but no, if I feel like I have a good team, I can be confident, but I wish I could get the best. I wish you could get the parasites this week, yes, and I really don't think so, look, the thing is It's very difficult because people are also selling parasites for hits because they have become impatient after two weeks of playing on the bench and I see a small bag of opportunities and by the way, I want to emphasize that Cucarella is also great. and it's also an opportunity if you're reading what tukul is saying that childwell is not ready and you're actually backing him to start the next three or four, i mean an exceptional value of 5 million, so it's really your reading of which ones are the minutes over the next four four five game weeks and I emphasize again that it is the next four five difficult game weeks because of the midweek game week five and the champions league after week six so never knows who the guy is that I'm going to know who's going to start so my philosophy when I was looking at my transfers I don't want both Kukarella and Perisic because that's basically yours, you have two risky players, there's nothing wrong with that because you have You have to look at each selection in isolation. but I wanted to go for a second Man City defender just for that little comfort blanket that this guy will still be dragging around, he probably has better minutes potential and a lower coin cap, but I was willing to change, that was the idea. but by the way the same applies to Doherty, if we get early news about this week of games, Spurs are the opener, whynot go for Dhorty?

Maybe make the place its own 4.9 million game again. Okay, fair, fair, um, we did it. I don't dispute the mounting on Randy's part. He wanted to spend an amount, so one point about the mount is that people are obviously getting tired of the double blank. You didn't get it for the Spurs right when you had it, when you had the mount, you were in the first week of the game. you were building your team, you didn't want to ride for Spurs, you wanted to ride for the games after that and one of the things that is underrated is the Chelsea games from now on, as you can see here on the ticker, take Leicester to home, Southampton, far to the west.

Ham Home Fulham Away and Liverpool Where do you see a clean sheet here and could everyone score? I know they are Chelsea, but what I am saying is that Leeds are an attacking team. Leicester is an attacking team. Southampton, maybe you can say Well, West Ham are an attacking team. Well, it's a home game, maybe they can get one there. Fulham are an attacking team and Liverpool are, so I would say this is the time to have a Chelsea mount or attacker. I understand the argument that the above average FPL guys make it not a 2xg team, so why would you want an attacker from this team?

But I think you could be a little more patient on a mount. He missed all the free throws in the first week of play, but then he made it. I think some set pieces where he took four corners and a couple of free kicks, so it's still in and between them and these are games that are more attacking and leading to Leicester, you can expect them to score a couple of goals in each of them again in Southampton, good game, so I don't think you should move your knees like in football, right? I mean, people will find a way to justify that yes, let's get rid of Sakura and Mount because we have other options, other more interesting options, but you didn't buy these guys for the first two weeks of the game, you bought them for week three, four and five, then why can't you hold on?

If this is the case and you are getting nervous, then maybe it was like this. It wasn't the right decision in the first week of the game, which is fair. You can say it was a mistake. I don't want to opt for a frame. I don't see why you need to jump right away. Yeah, is anyone else in a pro mount? anti-mount no, I think they agree with your summary there and the fact that, if you're lazily looking at those devices, if I'm specifically on the next three, it's again exactly exactly, it's hard to justify selling them right now um.

It's about Gabriel Jesús, you know what? And I think when we look at the kind of start to the season of the FBO coaches, there is a lot of activity in the transfer market, people have absolutely no patience, they are like a blank Jesus, some people selling them right away Kane Blanks people sells them right away so I think Jesus has shown us that sometimes you just have to take the factions as good, trust in the fact that your judgment in the first place was sound and back yourself up and I think those fixers are especially leads I think that they could get athletes, yes, yes, no, there is no rush, they said there is no rusty sale, but at the same time I know what you are saying about the clean sheets for Chelsea, but I think these full-backs, especially, especially in these games, surely they are attacking a player with such a high ceiling and if we are going to look at those fixers and say that those factors are more conducive to goals, rhys james has that scoring potential in him, he has that potential evaluated in him and it only takes him one game score 20 points 18 points or whatever, so I think that applies more to James and Cook Gorilla, so if someone doesn't have James next to him, yeah, the only thing I'll say is Yes, you probably brought the mount at the beginning of the game. the first week for this long term, you know, there's possibly a wild card in nine, but if you're going to give it up for a different combination of players, you know, maybe this is the time to do it because if you don't do it now.

It's going to be harder to do it next week. It's going to be even harder to do it against Southampton. So I'm playing devil's advocate a little bit. I don't know, we're talking about people selling their assets before Fulham, Bournemouth and Leeds. I'm not, I'm not too professional unless you have nothing else to do and you really want to make a particular transfer, but these are elite midfielders. We were talking about this group of 8 million and good games. These are the good matches. I don't see a reason why you have to, but look, every team is different, everyone's mentality is different, maybe you can't get to James, for example, and we've been talking about James all this time, so maybe that's the route. it's very team specific, but I say in isolation there's nothing wrong with the mount choice, I mean he's actually a flat track bully in terms of who he scores points against, at least if you look at last season , so you are selling. him before leeds and leicester, I mean, leicester is a good attacking team, that's what we saw Jesus last week, right, yes, I totally agree and I thank leicester for the goalkeeping combination.

I know a lot of people in the FBL community have it, but I think it's a real point and it's a weakness for Leicester as a team, like separating the FPL as you know, because there seemed to be a lack of communication between the goalkeeper and the line. background and, again, I wouldn't be surprised if Leicester's pre-transfer butter goalkeeper won the weather. I attacked Leicester, I agreed, so the question from Tinesh, who by the way shouted at a big Newcastle fan, um, is asking: would you sell Mount to James basically in a couple of transfers to finance him?

Would you do that? It's hard to give. advice on that without knowing what his defenses are, if you know what I mean, surely he has not made such a position that he will have problems, she will say, so he will ride hdcl, if you know what I mean, they will go to the gyms. No, but there couldn't be any other way to get under James. I think everyone needs to have James. I see that some teams like having James. Or they need to sell Mount, so the woods again. I was chatting with him before the broadcast he's also on. this situation where he has to downgrade robertson to get to james or sell mount because you're not selling your arsenal players and you're harland and you know concello so you're kind of stuck in terms of how to release the funds i'm looking for, so would do with a simple answer even though i just gave a five minute speech or not it's not solid robertson to sell to sell mounts to financier james because james will get more points than mount and even though it's cheaper you can get points in both ends of the field and that was my thought why I chose five at the back or a bigger one at the back because I felt like you know these full backs can get more points than their eight million counterparts.

I thought also with Robertson versus Diaz, he's changed slightly when we bring him to Liverpool, we'll talk about it, but I think James is worth it and he's a bigger priority than Mount, yeah, okay, I think that's a good one by the way. Chelsea coverage. Shout out to him. he's got his own youtube of him just in Newcastle so check it out that big Newcastle fan so let's do the introductions below. um leads again decent games to come. They have chelsea gaming three but very, very good matches from week five to eight of the game. I know Aronson and and Bamford and Rodrigo, especially Rodrigo, are doing very well.

You know, continuing his preseason form as well, so a few options here and there for Harrison as well, but, yeah, what do you guys think about the tracks and how to take advantage of them early to make it easier on the budget? For the next five to eight games, look, I think they come first. The first thing is that they have Chelsea and Brighton on the right side, so it is a priority. Oh, I'm four. The other thing is to at least talk to Leeds fans, their number one. o his four preferred attackers are harrison ironson sinistera and bamford, so rodrigo is not part of the front four, he is doing very well and could keep his place.

Obviously, Bamford is not in top form. sinister is just coming back, so don't try to scare him. people out, but the problem I have with the leeds players is that you will go for them rodrigo has looked good in the first two the next two games are difficult, it will go blank and then you will panic again as if we were entering panic with bailey and neto, this is what happens when we support teams that we are not, we do not have full conviction because we get the results we feared and then we think: "OMG, this was a bad decision and I am changing." That's why people with Neto and Baily are panicking now.

I think a little differently, so I almost don't want to mention Neto and Baily together because Neto is still a good choice. I think Bailey maybe not because of the two, two up move. Go ahead, go for Rodrigo if you want, but look, he could lose his place. Leeds, you know? He couldn't not score a single goal in the next two and I wouldn't be surprised, so that's the problem. I have believed. Hi no. Particularly interested, I know Ronald won't be happy to hear me say that, but I think in terms of budget facilitators, we're not going to look at the number one defense because they're pretty bad at the back. but I think in terms of mudfield there are too many unknown quantities.

I don't really know much about Ironson Bar. What I've seen. He looked animated, but I agree. Can I hit a summary where it's about really if you're? jump from, say, NATO, the islands and people will do this, people, instead of changing their structure, they will just look at that slot and say, well, until I shake card one, instead of changing my structure, they will just I will connect a different clay of 5.5 million. and I'll see what result I get. It might work if I had to pack one. I'd probably pick Rodrigo if he had the cash because he seems to be playing in a more advanced position.

Historically I am a securities manager. I guess you never know. if he's potentially going to quit, but not for me, since we've been discussing throughout the show that you can basically have a starting eleven that's full of top players, so it's hard to think that you know how to justify it well, can I say? like tony bradford or leeds ironson or you know we can't we have a lot of options to choose from prices this season I think so embrace it and follow your team of good players. How cute, do you think it's us? putting gross above rodrigo is fair, I probably wouldn't do it, I think I would, I think I would, yeah I think I'm the same just because of the risk of minutes and the next two games that just aren't great so that things change basically after a couple of bad games teams start to change the structure new players start to arrive that's when things were bad um good choice but I think he's not among my best replacements for bayley and both uh I think that rosen rose was priced right point one um roger goes six point one now I think he did it yeah I think a lot of frustrated Rashford owners picked Rodrigo for that double down double up double up again shout out to the pig because he did same thing, okay, we're at the 1 hour and 15 mark thanks.

All of you for tuning in, hit the like button and subscribe to the ff scout YouTube channel. It's been a pleasure so far with our good friend Hibo and obviously my professional co-hosts. Next, we will go to bad games, we have Newcastle. aston villa and lobos at the bottom and a lot of people have questions about neto and bailey and what to do with them and you know some people have cash and the biggest FPL troll and Dean too so basically it's time to download, but how do you do it and where do you go? Do you make a similar transfer? do you make two transfers? do you get hit?

There are multiple options and it also depends a lot on the structure of your team because people with five at the back cannot access certain options, while people who know Díaz in midfield can clearly make certain options and then some people have net plus bailey, so what are you doing there? And, many, many different ways to approach your topic. transfer, so I think it will be a lot of fun moving forward in terms of the change in the FPL community, but I guess we'll start with Neto and Bailey, I mean we'll just group them together and see what we think. about what to do with them and I'll start with you hibo um what would you do?

I think they are both right. I had both. I sold Bailey last night for Harrison Reed, so before the season started, if someone told me my first transfer would be. be bailey harrison reed no i wouldn't, i wouldn't have believed you, but how you were born, i think that's fine with me, that was the option because i hate my bets. I had bailey and nedo because I didn't really believe. I don't want the muscle in the belly train, but I don't really believe in the daily train, so I hate it a little, but I've also donethat it is more difficult to reach the type of five million defender with an eight millimeter filter. which requires some sort of four point hud, so i think if people change their build, i would say maybe they could attack bailey during his four and a half million sludge because andreas is probably the best four and a half million, but in terms of minutes. the same pieces, etcetera, we necessarily need to have a second can, a bank option that is as strong, I don't think, so I would reduce them to four and a half and then, nettle, you didn't have much money to play with. away from the defense, they would have asked me to detect the NATO update eight million lewis d, is that basically those will be my exact movements.

I really don't like all this. Can I make changes and connect different five and a half million mods? I also don't really like some of these structures in which people are going to depend on Andreas to play as a starter. I don't know if any of us are in that book but it's a stopgap that could work and I find really good for a lot of the week but I wouldn't want to do it every week yeah that's fair my perspective is to look first , let's separate bayley and neto billy, it's an almost dead option simply because they moved into this. two up and they were a little bit better than the first week of play, he may play, but I think as a starting option where you want him as your 11th player, that's gone, so it's different from NATO where the wolves there are still four. at the back you know Neto looks lively you still wanted him for the first six weeks of play just because just because he plays for Spurs next week doesn't mean he's bad you know he might not get nothing in this game week, except their games. after that, they are not the worst in the world, right, the wolves play in Newcastle at home, in Bournemouth, away, in Southampton, at home, I think they are fair games to host NATO, so one is more urgent and the other less urgent, but for people who have both, that's that's the problem you could get rid of both and change the structure now the problem we have in fpl at the moment is that there is no midfielder under 8 million that someone wants, it's basically pereira and then eight million that is diaz and mount and soccer and pulisepsky So even if you filter by xgi and it's two samples of games, I'm very cautious about using it, but just as an illustration, the two first weeks of play, if you filter by xj below eight million, you have gross, you have rodrigo, no one is at seven million. group, nobody, no, grillish, no, rashford, no, zaha, zaha, i think, fourth, so that's the dilemma people are in, if i need to move my bailey or net up to 8 million, sorry, So either I choose one of these guys that are similar. or basically I need a fundamental restructuring and I, for my team, was of the opinion that I'm basically done playing with this bra, this price range under 8 million is martinelli salah and another guy and for me that other guy It has to be an average of 8 million, that was the thought that maybe I should have had in the first week of the game.

I didn't do it, but I wanted to correct it when we get to my team, I'll talk about it, but that's basically where I am to fill in. bailey if you haven't already he dropped the price yesterday if you pick any of these guys disgusting rodrigo they're fine no problem with that but consider what we mentioned above which is comparing it to whether it's a bailey then he is also a 4.5 million defender if you are four back if he is a netto comparing him to a five million defender and then look at him in isolation so I think if you were to classify him he would still be a defender if he is not for a hit, so basically a second double transfer would be disgusting and then and then rodrigo and then net it's not an immediate sale if it's not necessary it's that fair yeah I think some people will protect the price like well, and I don't really like to do transfers that are totally influenced by price, was something I stayed away from last year.

I think you can make better decisions if you consider price less and I think it helped me but at first I don't like losing that 0.1 so I would be aware of that and I know that Robo maybe NATO will also be close to a drop so That's what I know, we're going to talk about teams at the end and rescue three players who will potentially go down. has pushed me in one direction, they do a combo move from minus four, if you know what I mean, so that plus point one would be effective and always say it all the time with the same effectiveness.

Increase of 0.5 at this stage because then you cannot reach a certain player as you know is fair. enough, but you also have to have conviction because if you were and this is the problem with these bottom half teams, you have no conviction that Neto will get his value back because he could score a brace against Southampton. This is the main one. problem if you had, if this position was a martinelli position and he blanked out the first two weeks of playing, I think because of his minutes we would have said okay, maybe he'll be safer, I'll keep him, I'll do a punt and I will continue with teams like Wolves and Brighton Leeds, I mean Brighton, I think they are not in the same group, but Leeds Wolves, Aston Villa, the way they have been playing, it is difficult to back them and see how you can continue on that wagon and the other problem with neto is that you will have to transfer him before your wildcard, he is not someone you can keep until you give me nine because he plays against Manchester City in Liverpool in week seven or eight, so it is a transfer what you will have to do if you have net eventually unless you are looking for a wild card before game week uh trick seven yes and I agree you know fpl is a game that is very difficult to predict and the most predictable teams are the best teams in the league and this year's prices make it also possible to have 11 of the top five teams on your team, so that's why, also, um bailey, someone as disgusting as you mentioned is not attractive, while that you can come up with another cookerella or peristic for example at the Defender, sorry Andy, just to add, I think not, we could go deeper into these replacements because there are other players too, like at Crystal Palace, I think the essay could be a great option, looks good, is playing. in Gallagher's position and Crystal Palace now play Aston Villa at home which is a good game, they have Man City away but then Brentford at home, Newcastle away, Man United Tuffish but that's the place where you could go, you could look for a Leicester player. at dukesbury hall, you know they have their annual whipping in Southampton, I think next, don't you?

Yeah, so you know you could get some points there, so there are other options in that price range, but we get back to the fact that what? What happens if that player blanks in two games, you'll panic. I think the answer, unless it's a top five team, is that you might as well panic. How about Zaha? I think our friend tt already passed Zaha before, very interesting, but what do you see? test on zaha uh hippo what price is seven million seven seven seven yes, he is a very bad king of probability in terms of his price, I thought he looked good against Liverpool, but his goal was indeed like a football goal, ​​​​the counter on the landing, so it was difficult to stand too much.

I read that, the thinking against the arsenal and the attack, I thought he was a passer, but perfect, to be completely honest with you, so no, I don't think I would go for someone like Zaha, seven millennia guys. There is a problem if you don't have the spare million in the bank. If you're watching to the end, can I trade it with one of the eight million we're talking about? Mounts Sac like Louis D is, etc., does. It's hard to do unless you have that money there, so I would just correct the problem once and for all instead of being interested in moving.

They say someone like Zaha because she could be unpredictable for me anyway. I don't think he would go there. fair yeah I agree yeah but he uses pens and stuff so no I don't hate him actually it looks like Crystal Palace are a good team so to back their talisman um for seven million and some people can't get to the 8 million Midfielder without hits, some people are a bit opposed to hits, so I guess if you wanted to clear in the 7 million group, we no longer have Man United players as options, al less in the short term, we don't have Greelish. as an option as such, the best it can be, I guess in the seven million price range, a punt is a punt, um, okay, captaincy, yeah, people should take it off, okay, hippo, the scenario is yours, hello, my birth, so I think really the captaincy ball is Doing this with 54 options, we have Mosul.

I'm going to start with Musa and he is a strong Manchester United player, so if we look at his type of production so far this season, he has a goal and an assist that he got in the In the first game against Fulham, he was obviously in white last time with 14 FPL points. He's now had three shots on goal, but I think he's had a pretty interesting start with Salaz so far this season. He has created nine chances, so I think Liverpool and the attacker are a team in transition. Darwin comes in and if you look especially at the Liverpool data, the team data like Darwin Nunes and a limited number of minutes, like 100 minutes so far, he's had five bank opportunities, which is absolutely huge and we talked before about how the dynamic works. potentially going to change in the Liverpool team now the darwinis feminism is supposed to come into play, we know what for me it was like he wasn't the type of player that would monopolize those big opportunities so I think there will be less of that Salah who will play for someone else or create opportunities for someone else and I think we will see Salah from today starting to absorb some of the cycling opportunities himself but his record against Man United is pretty good so in 10 games he started against United he has 7 goals and 2 assists for people who are under this kind of thing, but I think from a tactical point of view that we discussed earlier about how United are trying to implement the game from the back, I don't think there's a worse team they could face alongside Liverpool because Liverpool, like the press, everyone pays, so I think it's a good match for Salah.

I think if you look at it, I think it's I've been a bit unlucky to a certain extent in the recent games and if I had, they can't qualify the players for captaincy this week, I'd say I actually think I'll still be selling this one. week because it only depends on the man. united factor and so you don't realize how shaky they looked against Brighton and Branford, we can look at the recent data of the players, but I think when we look at Salah we have to consider looking at 250 or 300 points and that's really what In short, you know what you get when you get a chance, you get penalties and if we have a team on the ropes like this, it's a slightly different scenario but a bit similar last season when Salah played against Man United and Harvard played against Chelsea and everyone thought, oh.

The historical bias and the fact that, as we've known for years, Man United are a good team and they felt it was an opportunity to take advantage of everything this weekend, so I'm the sensible captain, really all the room in the Sensible Captain It's to give the solid captaincy advice, it's not that they can hit, you shouldn't take any risks over the course of the season, if you choose the sensible captain's package you will do well, so I think Salah would be number one, although we see the number. two, what happened with gabriel, it's so similar if we go to look at him in his first two games, obviously he was blank in the first week of play, but then he scored two goals and two assists last time, 20 21 fpl points in total and he actually has the best xe data so far so he has a known pen xg count so far 2.6 the three shots in the boxes created three chances and one of them was a bicycle chance so I think Jesus is a real option, I think if we are going to look at Bournemouth as a team if we are going to breach teams and again I don't think we can read too much into all the xg type of data on the team's business so far because we need to provide context, We have to look and say well, who played those teams?

Bournemouth obviously played Manchester but Bournemouth came out of the championship with one of the best breakers basically in the championship but then you listen to the noises that Parker came up with and Parker has basically said I'm not happy with my team. I really don't think I can compete at the level and then you're thinking about Hazel being next now. It is a very favorable meeting. I would probably consider them. The weakest team in the Premier League at the moment. I would consider it a bit like the weakest defensive role. It's a favorable match, but I like playing FPL to a certain extentmanner.

I'm very tempted, you know, I don't like them to confront each other. the house too often and I think playing that way is a pretty efficient way for me to play FPL. It's pretty boring. Frankly, I still somewhat think Jesus was about a punt despite the good fights here despite the recent production and I think he would do it. Be happy enough to just have them at a low level, where would you put them in terms of your forecast? You would have them over 100. I think Jesus, because he is the recent bias of C. he did so well in the last game.

People just because of the As you'll see my bus team, my initial instinct was to put it to Jesus, but obviously I hadn't seen the Man United Brentford game by then, so it's still there, but I heard you, look, there are two arguments contrary to Jesus versus. Salah number one at Liverpool, they themselves haven't won a game yet, right, um, so it's not like they fly completely high, unlike Arsenal who fly completely high, so there's one thing about how they approach the game. Arsenal teams like, well, us. We are on top, Jesus is scoring the goals, we are playing against a team so obviously they play similar to Manchester City so when they attack Bournemouth it will be similar so Arteta has already studied how Pep put all these . goals beyond Bournemouth or penetrated Bournemouth, so you know he's looking at that and that's where Jesus comes into play.

I think it's just the match and it's the fact that both are away if one was at home that would have made it change. For me the fact that they are both out is a small problem and then the other thing with Salah is that there will be protests that the man united by a goal, if they go down, they will panic because they know the crowd is against them and the players will see. It's a good point so I'm still split, I think he's more likely to eventually head to Salah but I think he's closer because Arsenal are looking very good at the moment and it's a hyped side that you know one really can point. and they will both be over 100 as you mentioned, yes well Jesus is fake and effectively belongs to all the good managers in the game, unlike anyone who didn't meet him last week will be the owner, but I would play maybe in Holland now out of these three options, it's probably the man's risk because he's played 150 miles so far compared to, like you, you're talking salads 180 on Kane's queen, even though Jesus is 165.

That's two goals, no killer so far , 18 fpl points, has a no bread. -one point axial poo mod and a xl 0.42 three shots on target only one chance created and one of them was a bike chance i mean it was for gundagan that would just happen so obviously we don't have any keys on a team against that. I don't know what I'll say about Holland, I think there was a bit of a narrative after the weekend where there's a narrative about hounds in general, where it's like Holland have a hard time playing against low block teams. I think that's just narrative because If we look at the weekend game, he got the attendance for gundagam, which was a good length game, I think it's tighter.

I think there's an element of true death, but I think it may be a narrative that ends with the egg, like how? i think he got the assist it was great let's play with gundigan fulton he should have put it on a plate a picture of food and he puts it on a food and he puts it on a plate he has a double digit hole and no one is talking nerd if no one talking about defenses low black and that is aware that he had a great opportunity to get to where he was half scratched now if we go again and participate in the games, we know that Mahir is a big fan of Newcastle's defense, they improved a lot.

When we look at Kenneth from January of last season, we're not even going to look at this in a short-term sample. If we look back to January of last season, New Castle Europe are the best defenses and under the division in terms of kxgc they are probably the best. five or six, so they are a team that we necessarily want to face something of a bloodhound and I will say at this point that not really when we have a cell as an option against United when we have like Asia, he is a little bit further away in the pecking order, um mccain playing on the radar, but to be totally honest, yeah, yeah, and I think the Spurs players in general are playing on the radar because they had these games.

We make decisions as FPL managers. Obviously we are limited by budget and obviously we can only have a certain amount of bonuses so we will create narratives ourselves about why we can't have this player in our team and I really think if we are looking at Kane so far only one 10 goal fpl points, but i think it looks decent. He has three shots. Three shots from the target. He has created five chances. We know this is something from Keynes. He has two-way deployments and the fact that he can score goals. and b can't create chances if we look at his record against wolves and the six stars, it's just the three goals and zero salutes, some people don't really give any weight to this so what I would say is that I think we can't, we are underestimated.

He would have hummed and held maybe third and fourth in the tie, maybe interested a little bit ahead and Sal is not Sal's number. Yeah, I don't think he would go with Kane. I'm not sold on the Spurs at the moment. You know that, on paper, she is his midfield. Hoiberg and Pentacore are pretty solid. You know, the midfield trio or the double pivot in the Premier League, but one of the patterns I've noticed with Spurs is that they can. They don't pick the ball up like they can't build through the middle and the Wolves will sit back and if they're not able to see it early when Spurs come in they'll end up scoring the first goal whether it's towards the end of the game.

In the first half or the second half, you know, they have a golden rage and they can score three or four, but when they can't get that first goal, they really struggle to bring the team down, so when you have the option of Salah and Jesus , In my opinion, I know why you would go there and, you know, the professionals mentioned that you know Liverpool are not showing their best game at the moment. Yes, two draws, but I guess the kind of semi-counterattack is that we always talk about the state of the game. How do you know the game is going, uh, as the game is going on, but kind of the pre-game state at the moment is that Liverpool need a win, they really need to win and get going, and this is the perfect game. to start it when it is running. the opposite end of the spectrum, Manchester United are just, you know, there's confusion at the moment and broken changing rooms, there's no spirit, there's no philosophy, you know, Ronaldo is trying to leave, who knows what's going on there, so I understand that there are protests and concerns about this, but.

I wouldn't be either, I think the game will go on, so I'm looking forward to salad doing really well against this game, plus last year I didn't eat salad in week nine of the game, so I don't want that scenario. to go back you have to forget about the past, about past events and what happened and look, I'm actually much more fond of spurs, since it turns out that people don't have spurs, they obviously didn't listen, they went to Kane and they changed. to holland and now they don't have a stick, but they are people who supported salah and were the son or supported or continued to support kane and did not go to holland captain, the Spurs player, I don't think you can stand that much.

Out of this Chelsea game just because they look bad It's a completely different London derby Chelsea can cancel out Manchester City in a Champions League final They can cancel out anyone It's a different team They destroyed Southampton They were at the top of the table Remember Spurs after game week one because they scored four goals past them they will score three or four goals against Wolves so you can guarantee no one can guarantee it but Liverpool will score three or four maybe but I think it just depends on who you root for like the home team Spurs. at home if you have a son or you can be captain of son or king and by definition you may also not have salah or holland if you are not in a cousin, so go for them, pack them.

I think this was the fixture when we were looking. in the captaincy matrix this was the week this and the game week six are the weeks when salah and holland are away the spurs are at home the spurs batting teams at home the rules don't play five back maybe they will change but so far they haven't shown the signs, what you've seen so far is that teams are playing with five at the back to counter Conte, that's what Southampton did in the first week, obviously Chelsea always make them face each other four behind, I hope they do it. crush them and you know why you wouldn't consider Sun or Kane just another process if you knew Perisic was guaranteed 90 minutes to start.

Would you captain him this week? I would capture him, wow, because he's a god, I mean, look, I would have him. He would be an attacker with the potential to keep a clean sheet, forget about eo and stuff. I'm speaking in isolation. If I had to pick a player who would be the king of the game week, I would say he would be one of them. It doesn't mean Salah wouldn't be, I know he was laughing because he knows I won't go against Allah, but that's a different question we're answering, I know you're ridiculous so, but I think the Spurs players are good. players, I think we're ignoring them because no one owns them, the people who have them have moved on, but people should capture them, I think we're ignoring the Spurs players because a different conversation came up at the end of game week where no, our teams have to move in a certain direction, we are thinking, well, we have to get rid of bailey, we have to get rid of nato, maybe we need to get the 8 million, i think if you have a perfect team like our friend abdul, that secondly, he always has a perfect game, someone like that might consider making a move like Holland in decline this week because the matches are better for kane the minutes are better for kane eh, okay, that was a better narrative, but I think at the same time I'm going to get to the stage where the games are going to have Chaka Black, where she's going to play two and three times a week and the noises that that Pep made were that Han's not really the player to do that, so I No, I don't think it's the worst move in the world and I think if we were in a better position on the team, more people would make that aggressive play because I think the preseason people seem to have overlooked Kanan for keeping the third week of game.

Yeah, yeah, I mean, if I wasn't playing Crystal Palace and Nottingham first at home in the next two after that, because then it becomes like a silly cookie, you're going to have to get Holland back too, so that makes it tricky, but Look, I hear you, I basically wanted to end this by saying that the Spurs are good. I mean, you know? They are not at home? They are playing against wolves who are at the bottom of the bottom quartile. XG awarded a team from the second half of last season. um I think I think it's a fair shot and back up don't be scared of Salazio's gentlemen uh we're an hour and 40 minutes and probably one of the longest so yeah let's go to the bus teams um right now so you have hibbel's team here first hibo has a 532 formation in goal um sanchez on the bench interesting uh defense you have cancello diaz trent robertson and james in midfield you have salah neto captain and martinelli and above you have holland and jesus this is transfers already made or no transfer this is a transfer so with this I went to bailey bailey the harassment rate so I have 0.5 million in the bank.

I have one transfer left, so I think the plan for me is really me. I'm going to go to rubble the gorilla cook 5 million and I'm going to go for nato of the days 8 million of mud I'm undecided my goalkeeper like you asked me for a boss team so I had to give you a boss team but I could put the scientists back . I'm ready to say that and on mccable. I think that will be the case this week. to take the hit, oh, I'm definitely going to take that, which is for the reasons I stayed before in the fact that I can't stay in a position where three of my players are The price is going to go down and not at this initial stage.

I don't mind paying four points because I've had a decent start to getting my hair back like you in terms of my team being fresh again and then hopefully there won't be any more problems coming up in the next few weeks so I don't mind It matters a little to take a hat pot, but I have a pond. The only other option you could maybe go for is the resistant friend, he also has risks right now. I could go with Gabrielle de. arsenal, but I really don't want to get there sooner. I would like to have some kind of exciting defeat.

I like the ball. My team is surrounded by exciting advocates and ribbon distributors. That's how it works because it makes the gamefun. If you have Rhys James Concello Trent Alexander Arnold, you know the same thing with the passage, he makes the game fun and I think a big adjustment in FPL in recent years is the fact that we have full-backs and the full-backs are obviously rated. as defenders, but I think people have had a hard time changing their mentality that if I get the group to be good at the back, that's optimal and I think you can have exciting defenders and be a bug at the back at the same time, that's good to see. cookerella and luis diaz -4 on that team so i realized you don't have an arsenal defender so you talked about gabrielle why or saliba no?

I mean, you could even free up some funds and get a third player in the arsenal. You're not going to football, so don't you plan to have a third arsenal? Not for now. Could. Could. Could do it. But there are so many options right now. Can't. Can't. fighting everyone, unlike where my team compares to yours, obviously you have Ramsdale and Nets. I went to Sanchez and Ward because I wanted to save everyone 0.5 million so after the first week I wanted your deal with the Rams and after the second week of the game it was happening outside my science so I don't know, I think as a wildcard, a law, I'll cool off, but I won't buy an Arsenal defender this week, I don't think it's fair enough, I mean congested games.

I'll try to convince you of that later, but I think it's fair, the structure makes sense. Your thoughts on Díaz vs. Robertson, are you doing it because you think Diaz will score more points or is it the fact that you have five other top defensemen to choose from or five other defensemen that you would choose instead, I think in terms of defense, I think there are alternative options, Dave Robertson, which I can turn to, but in Mudfield they don't really have many alternatives, like you said, there's basically a gap. between the eight million sludge to basically andreas, so I don't want to keep changing that space.

I want to correct that probably at the beginning of the season I would have had Luis Díaz and Robertson quite a bit, I'm not even sure if I will do it more. I think Diaz is a really good group and I think if I look at the first week of the game, it could have been a lot different because I had the response to the post. Robertson here, a goal disallowed for offside and on another day. As we talk about events another day, maybe I'm scoring 14 or 15 points there, so I don't know, I think it looks like a very good group, so I'm happy as a group and I'm happy for structural reasons.

I'm supposed to make those changes right, you're not happy that I chose gorilla, but we can talk on WhatsApp, yeah, no, look, I mean, I did the same thing, I did the same thing, so when we get to my team, I can Talk about it but I think people will fix it in the blow that you're taking a hit to go from Robertson to Diaz when you said all pre-season that you know my third place at Liverpool is sacrosanct, I'm going to keep it for eight weeks game is my glue, but the problem is that things have changed in the first two weeks of play and then the couple of things that have changed is Tiago's injury, the defensive injuries, now, when Gómez returns, what will he do in the next game. they are fine, I think defensively there is no problem, I think the big change is that Nunes leaves the scene and that essentially means that Firmino is there to feed the two guys, which are Salah and Díaz, so we don't expect potential guys of Salah. but that basically increases how much they need him, which is x minutes and his expected participation because when Salah will feed the ball it will not be at midday, since it will be for Díaz or Robertson, so both are good options for me if you come to my team, ronaldo , I can, I can basically explain to you, so what I did was I sold Diaz, so Diaz with the Man City s, as well as Robertson, and I sold Bailey and I and I brought in Diaz with the Liverpool Z. and I have Walker and I have Perisic and the thought was that instead of Gross or Rodrigo I wanted a Perisic punch because I think other people with a different structure will have Robertson instead of Perisic and then us.

I'll go for a grosser or a rodrigo or whoever, that's just not what I wanted to do, so I'm answering the question: do I want to? I think Perisic leads Gross in the next six game weeks by four points, which is why I still decided yes. that's the answer and that's why I did it and also the fact that if I'm looking to make future transfers, where am I most excited? We just talked about the eight million price range and everything below, I'm not excited. I'm excited to own Trippier after the fifth week of play. I'm excited to maybe move Perisic to Dougherty if he gets stuck in the future, so there's a lot more I can do on that or even a cookerella that I don't have yet.

There's a lot more than I want to do in that space, so I wanted to have the five defenders and they're all good, so I don't need to have a Robertson. If I could have six at the back I would probably have robertson instead of diaz and avoid the hit, but I can't have six at the back, that's the idea and that's why we've gone with this structure personally. I don't think there is a huge difference between diaz and robertson even though there has been a slight change I think they will both do very well and they are both good players so it's not about oh my god Robertson is rubbish , oh my God, Díaz is going to match Salah, it's about the good selections of both.

There is a slight increase in Diaz, there is a slight impact in Robertson and now we also have five million emerging defenders who can match or at least do better than we thought when we originally went into Nice and I already made my moves yesterday because I couldn't afford it. I had dropped Bailey, which he did because I obviously didn't pick any of the 5.0 defenders. I picked Walker which was 5.1 and Parasitus was 5.4 so that's essentially where I had to go yesterday. Well, let's go to mine? I'm sure everyone wants to know if you're on the same team. again and you tell the case no, uh, news, two guys, I'm a leader, I'm sorry?

I have points, is that you?, yes, yes, approximately, like last season, I purposely didn't add the complement of that Hibo had a 2k finish last season and has three top 10k but here you go yeah he's ahead it was because of Sanchez who beat uh ramsdale last week so he's ahead of us by a couple of points , yeah, it's a hippo and the pros, by the way, the guys certainly have a rivalry, um, I've noticed it, but it's friendly, so I did my best. It's just become a rivalry because he surpassed me after years last season, so he's starting to know that he's a little bit like um, very good, very good, yeah, yeah, so, you know, he was. .

We texted pros a couple days ago and were like no, we have to take different routes in different directions and we don't reveal our gear to each other and we ended up at the same thing, minus four to optimize this. this team and this is what was going on in my mind is I had um bailey and I was thinking about what options I could have with bayley and you know it's disgusting maybe there's a 6.0 I can get or 5.5 or Downgraded to 4.5 and just there's no one I'd like to get to so if I look at my starting 11 I have to play this player every week unless it's Andreas or Archer so that's right so as mentioned next best option is the seven million zaha can be greelish gundogan came into the fold and then i was thinking about foden and the eight million groups and of all of them, who is the best is probably louis diaz.

I still think that if I had the chance to Wait for Rob Robertson. I would go with Robertson because I think Robertson could outperform Diaz over the next six game weeks. There's a reason I bet on him. I went for him instead of Diaz and last season when I owned him I only had good memories with him, um, and he's just a non-stop scoring machine, so it's not about who's the better player between Robertson and Diaz, but about what this move from Robertson to Díaz does structurally, because then I'm ready for a starting eleven. that comes from the best teams in the league and even then I could still get a double defense in per instead of paris to check it out, go for kukarella for example, this is my first choice and every game week against whoever I play with you.

You're going in with a lot of confidence because of the teams they play for, so you know, ake it's kind of a punt, I guess I'm going to go for it. I'm very me. I'm pretty convinced it's a decent scream, we'll see, we'll see what happens, but right now my problem is whether I'm going to go to Paris in character or go to Cuckerella Ake or possibly go crazy. and go to perisic and kukarella and drop the city's double defense um as my three options, I wasn't convinced about walker and that's why I decided to wait for more news.

I know I'm missing probably more than point two because if I know Walker continues to do well, then people will jump on him and maybe he'll keep going up in price and I'm aware of that, I'm aware that I missed the point too. one with Bayley, but I just wanted to wait. Come out and see because I couldn't decide between Perisic and Cucurel in the end, nice, nice, so to clarify, you haven't made any transfers, I've made all three and, uh, Hibo has made one of his three, so you guys will monitor. and you are waiting to monitor perisic is a possible start.

I was thinking that I will be excluded from these moves, so if perisic doesn't start, then I have andres pereira, who plays for uh brentford at home, so that was good, yeah. Yeah you know this hit is good because it allows me to not just count on this week of play but the next six weeks of play so I like to keep going and I'm sure things will happen in the next few but okay great stream about an hour and 53 minutes, um, so it's probably the longest we've ever done, um, but it was great, hippo. I'm sure we'll have you several times this season.

I really appreciate your time and Hibo is now a writer. ffscout like the pros mentioned in the previous part of the stream, so keep an eye on their articles on their Twitter account as well as the ff scout fantasy football scouting website and we'll be back next week with another special guest, how are they? Final thoughts from you and then the pros, I really enjoyed the stream, it was good to finally meet these two guys face to face, yeah, it's good to have you man, we'll definitely do this again and I don't think there's anything else to add , We've done it. a long stream here, you know, good luck people, this is a key week, two transfers, don't waste them, you know, make sure you have a view of what is an idea that we've talked about in the past. ideal wildcard if you were going to wildcat today for the next 12 game weeks and if it's a diaz instead of a robertson if it's a james instead of a mount, don't be afraid to do it, don't be a slave to your game week one of the decisions has a view of what a game week three wild card would look like, by the way, sorry we had two live chats or what are called super chats, super chats, yeah we should probably address those then , what was it, I think? of them was from nehal rabo to perisic and neto to gundagan or foden with value minus four well that's what we're doing except for the food and we're going to go to diaz which he can do too but if you prefer the food and then okay, yes, yes.

According to that, do you see the other one? I can't see the other one. No, I think the other one is just a thank you. Okay, thanks too. Okay guys, see you next week. Thank you, thank you all.
