Let's hope things don't break during the break (GW5/6)

WEBVTT
00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:02.720
I think we're going to have to do that.
00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:18.239
Welcome to Gamble Gamble Gamble Die.
00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:22.079
Midday afternoon podcast.
00:00:22.239 --> 00:00:26.879
Uh right at the most optimal time at the beginning of a three-week international break.
00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:28.160
We we're we're crushing this.
00:00:28.399 --> 00:00:30.079
Good afternoon, gentlemen.
00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:32.399
Hello, well, we're doing it.
00:00:32.479 --> 00:00:36.240
I know sub suboptimal, but suboptimal is better than none at all.
00:00:36.799 --> 00:00:37.200
Agreed.
00:00:38.479 --> 00:00:38.799
Yeah.
00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:39.920
Hey, how's it going?
00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:41.759
Um yeah, this is this is good.
00:00:41.840 --> 00:00:42.799
This is good stuff.
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:44.960
How y'all been?
00:00:47.600 --> 00:00:48.719
None of your business.
00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:51.920
Nice.
00:00:52.320 --> 00:01:07.120
I'm just back from a week in Philly, so I had I sort of did a bad job of taking any time off this summer, but then over the long weekend, I had like fully five days off and a great visit with the house guest.
00:01:07.359 --> 00:01:10.319
And then I was just in uh Philly for six days.
00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:16.000
So I guess work all summer and uh F around in the fall, apparently, is what I'm doing.
00:01:16.319 --> 00:01:16.640
Nice.
00:01:16.719 --> 00:01:18.400
Well, I mean that sounds that sounds positive.
00:01:18.480 --> 00:01:22.480
I meant to both of these these time that the time at home and time off was good.
00:01:23.120 --> 00:01:32.640
Yeah, I just um I need to actually I'll I'll share this since this is like a middle-aged man podcast that sometimes talks about soccer.
00:01:33.359 --> 00:01:51.280
Uh I So as I've been trying to to improve my fitness, most of the feedback I get is not like, oh, you need to work out more, you need to do more of this, because with the bike ride and the martial arts, the the basketball, compared to my peers, I'm like pretty fit and active.
00:01:51.599 --> 00:01:55.599
Uh the the I'm not I do not take my recovery seriously enough.
00:01:55.680 --> 00:01:57.439
I was like, how's your sleep?
00:01:57.599 --> 00:01:58.719
Are you hydrating?
00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:01.439
What's what's are you getting slim in the kitchen?
00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:03.200
Are you like soaking your feet?
00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:04.799
Or are you taking proper rest days?
00:02:04.879 --> 00:02:05.760
Are you stretching?
00:02:06.879 --> 00:02:16.080
So similarly, I think for my kind of like uh mental health or or burnout, it's not like oh you're working too much.
00:02:16.240 --> 00:02:23.599
I mean I work, but I think it's like I think I'm like working, I have the right number of shifts that I want.
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:24.479
That's pretty good.
00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:39.120
The problem is on my when I'm supposed to be off and like decompressing, I'm fretting about something or I'm putting around doing chores instead of like like actually turning off and resetting and recharging.
00:02:39.360 --> 00:02:46.400
So that is a that is an excessive answer to when we had the house guests and had a bunch of days off, I was really like off.
00:02:46.639 --> 00:03:02.639
And when I was in Philly, I was like, F it, I'm having Guinness at lunch, and like you know I feel like uh I feel like when I when I work too much and I just came off of a couple weeks in a row where I have one day off and like multiple weeks in a row.
00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:25.520
And I feel like when I have that and I work more, I have because I have such few minutes to or so so few hours to to like be off and be like calm and free, then I spend all that time fretting about some bullshit thing that's happening.
00:03:25.759 --> 00:03:36.719
And if I have like what I'm coming up to is five days off starting on Friday, I get this whole week, I just don't even care about work.
00:03:37.039 --> 00:03:51.360
Like I I honestly will I will just be wandering through work, like not caring that much, doing the very bare minimum while at the same time reporting it all to the right people so that they know that I'm actually doing something because I'll feel guilty about it.
00:03:51.599 --> 00:04:01.840
But if I work all the time, I fret on my days off, and if I don't work enough, I don't even care about it when I'm there.
00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:12.879
So I think taking taking the time off, but also having time ahead of you that you know is off really really speeds up the process of not giving a crap.
00:04:13.199 --> 00:04:17.680
Because you know, yeah, I think I think that's a lot of it.
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:27.120
I'm I'm in the second of two days off that I decided to take for a little break myself because I just got into a spell basically from the middle of since we took off on the ship till now.
00:04:27.360 --> 00:04:29.199
Um, it's been completely nonstop.
00:04:29.279 --> 00:04:33.040
The menaces had soccer like four to five days a week.
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:34.560
Like there's been no break.
00:04:34.639 --> 00:04:43.040
It's just and so I took these two days off, but exactly what you both just said, I'm into the second day already, and I'm like, I'm just mad about what I haven't gotten done.
00:04:43.199 --> 00:04:46.319
And I'm like, this is this is not how this is supposed to go.
00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:51.920
And going back to what you were saying earlier, Chief, like I I've I've really gotten into the recovery thing.
00:04:52.000 --> 00:04:57.680
Actually, going stepping all the way back to your your visit here when we were talking about that a little bit, like the importance of it.
00:04:57.920 --> 00:04:59.360
But I still am terrible at it.
00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:03.120
And going back like what you said earlier, like I cannot shut down.
00:05:03.199 --> 00:05:08.879
Like, if I if I attempt to sit down at now, like this has always been a problem, but it's even more severe now.
00:05:09.120 --> 00:05:20.639
If I just attempt to like sit down and like say read a book, I almost can't do it anymore unless it's right before bed because my head just goes to bad places all the time.
00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:27.439
I mean, I mean, there's just like no, so I have to keep myself busy all the time, which is fine because that's my normal routine and I'm used to it.
00:05:27.519 --> 00:05:31.759
But what I have not allowed for is proper recovery, especially when working out.
00:05:31.920 --> 00:05:35.759
Like, I I because sometimes I do it to to de-stress from the other stuff.
00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:44.560
So I just go back and I work out again just to like you know deflect whatever the other hell that's going on is, and I just I like I've got to figure out that recovery piece.
00:05:44.639 --> 00:05:53.199
I gotta like, I gotta find the right amount of downtime that actually serves as rest and not frustration and not, yeah.
00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:55.279
So that's that's a work in progress.
00:05:55.439 --> 00:06:06.000
I have, however, gotten much better at stretching, and I stretch almost every morning and every night now, which is like feels really weird because I, you know, I feel like I'm actually well behind the curve.
00:06:06.079 --> 00:06:07.759
I have so many co-workers that are very good about it.
00:06:07.920 --> 00:06:11.120
I've had friends, I mean, our our friend Darren Pete, like all the way back when we were in college.
00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:15.519
Like Darren used to like wake up and stretch and then stretch before bed, and I was like, the hell's wrong with it.
00:06:17.120 --> 00:06:20.079
He can't even play golf now because his back's so messed up.
00:06:20.560 --> 00:06:22.000
Yeah, you know, yeah, yeah.
00:06:22.160 --> 00:06:22.639
That's true.
00:06:22.720 --> 00:06:23.360
Maybe it was a bad thing.
00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:23.680
I don't know.
00:06:23.759 --> 00:06:24.720
But no, I mean, it's just it is.
00:06:24.800 --> 00:06:25.199
It's just funny.
00:06:25.279 --> 00:06:26.079
It's like one of those things.
00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:39.920
It's like I I I am I'm trying to I'm trying to get better at that piece in particular, the recovery piece, and I just don't know how to like I I yeah, I got I wish I could figure out how to just an on-off switch for the like the negative parts of the brain.
00:06:40.000 --> 00:06:40.879
But I wish I wish I had.
00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:50.319
I was uh I went, I did Pilates twice in the last three days, and I've been kind of slacking on it and like just doing it once every week, if that.
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:58.560
And I was sitting there because Annie uh we gave she has unlimited and she goes like three or four or five times a week.
00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:03.439
And I was thinking of trying to get like I was really excited yesterday when I got out done.
00:07:03.519 --> 00:07:06.319
I was like, my legs were just completely shot.
00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:22.399
And I was walking home and I was thinking, God, I wish I could get uh freaking uh unlimited membership and then just go with her all the time and just get because it it does a lot of good j good for me, stretching me out as well as like working my muscles and all this stuff.
00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:24.879
And it's it's I feel like it's great, it's an hour.
00:07:25.199 --> 00:07:34.560
I spend about half of the time just waiting for the Lysol wipe to come out, and I'm super excited when that smell comes because that means I get to wash off the equipment and walk away.
00:07:34.879 --> 00:07:46.959
But then I got home last night and the world caught up to me immediately because I went to go watch the Monday night game, and of course it's not on any of the seven things that I pay for.
00:07:47.120 --> 00:08:01.040
So now I have YouTube TV, which is a freaking$70 a month, which is gonna prevent me from getting the unlimited at Pilates, which is which is exactly how this modern world is working, in my opinion.
00:08:02.480 --> 00:08:04.480
You gotta drop one of the other seven streamers, man.
00:08:04.800 --> 00:08:07.360
I mean, I will I say that now, like we have yeah, we have all of them too.
00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:09.759
It's just turned into a yeah, it's it's it's a ridiculous, yeah.
00:08:09.920 --> 00:08:11.519
It's a ridiculous type effect.
00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:20.319
Anytime you're excited about something, it's on the wrong format, and you just you're just either like like and I'm sitting here like yeah, yeah.
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:21.040
Anyway.
00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:25.600
YouTube TV has has done pretty well for me, and that's yeah what I'm saying.
00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:35.200
When I was at kids' soccer games uh in Pennsylvania, I was able to get the YouTube TV on the phone.
00:08:35.519 --> 00:08:38.639
Now the trick is you it's not good in your ears.
00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:44.639
I wish I don't know what happened to all the free um UK radio casts.
00:08:44.960 --> 00:08:48.559
Oh, you can get that through the fantasy, the football, the EPL.
00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:51.919
Uh you can listen live to all the games.
00:08:52.240 --> 00:08:54.159
I was that's what that's what I do at work now.
00:08:54.320 --> 00:08:55.360
I listen to most of the games.
00:08:55.840 --> 00:08:56.879
This this season?
00:08:57.039 --> 00:08:58.639
I've had trouble this season.
00:08:59.919 --> 00:09:00.320
That worked fine.
00:09:01.120 --> 00:09:02.080
I do it every once in a while too.
00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:03.120
It's worked fine for me so far.
00:09:03.279 --> 00:09:04.639
Okay, I gotta go through the app.
00:09:05.120 --> 00:09:06.320
Yeah, you just go through the app.
00:09:06.879 --> 00:09:08.240
Oh, let's oh yeah, let's jump in.
00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:08.639
Let's jump in.
00:09:08.720 --> 00:09:09.200
Sorry, I got you.
00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:14.879
So I was gonna say uh speaking of time on and time off and balancing that.
00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:18.480
How are we feeling about this first international break?
00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:25.919
You won't be you want me to I I absolutely hate it.
00:09:26.080 --> 00:09:27.279
I hate it so much.
00:09:27.440 --> 00:09:32.799
I I I look forward to games every weekend, regardless of how I'm doing in fantasy.
00:09:32.960 --> 00:09:33.840
I love watching.
00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:35.039
My kid loves watching.
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:37.360
It's fall, it's starting to get cold.
00:09:37.679 --> 00:09:39.759
We just had a goddamn World Cup.
00:09:39.919 --> 00:09:42.240
Like, what what is what is the point of this?
00:09:42.399 --> 00:09:43.279
Why are we sending player?
00:09:43.679 --> 00:09:46.960
We keep talking about player health, and they're playing too many matches.
00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:50.080
You just had the biggest international tournament, you know.
00:09:50.320 --> 00:09:52.399
Like, stop this.
00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:53.440
What the hell is this?
00:09:53.519 --> 00:09:56.159
Why nobody gives a shit about Nations League?
00:09:56.240 --> 00:10:01.440
I mean, like, it's just it's so freaking annoying.
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:14.559
And all that's gonna happen on the fantasy side is we're gonna come back from the break and there's gonna be like five players injured, and it's gonna it's just gonna suck as it always sucks, and like the three weeks is gonna suck, and then the return is gonna suck because everybody's gonna be tired.
00:10:14.720 --> 00:10:15.919
It's it sucks.
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:30.399
There's my there's my butt but but we don't I I sort of I haven't really wrapped my head around the idea of better to have three weeks off now or two shorter breaks.
00:10:31.840 --> 00:10:33.200
I don't want any, I don't want any of them.
00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:33.919
That's the whole problem.
00:10:34.080 --> 00:10:35.039
We just had the World Cup.
00:10:35.120 --> 00:10:42.240
Like it's one thing, like if it's the you know, if you're doing qualifying and you need like we it's just we're we're three months out of that tournament.
00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:43.039
This is stupid.
00:10:43.200 --> 00:10:49.039
Just like yeah, and I this Nations League thing, I mean, I I don't know who's profiting off of it.
00:10:49.120 --> 00:10:52.879
Somebody is, I guess, so they wouldn't be doing it, but it's just it's an unbelievable annoyance.
00:10:52.960 --> 00:10:56.639
And I mean, you know, you got players pulling out, it's like the it's like the Pro Bowl for the NFL.
00:10:56.720 --> 00:10:57.759
I mean, like, what what is this?
00:10:57.840 --> 00:10:58.960
It's just it's stupid.
00:10:59.120 --> 00:11:00.399
So I'll I'll I'll shut up now.
00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:00.720
Go ahead.
00:11:01.039 --> 00:11:03.120
Pete, you love a mid-season Pro Bowl.
00:11:04.159 --> 00:11:05.200
I I don't.
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:06.480
I I think that's stupid.
00:11:06.639 --> 00:11:09.039
I I agree with Pat on that being stupid.
00:11:09.279 --> 00:11:11.279
Um yeah, I don't know.
00:11:11.600 --> 00:11:13.279
Well, uh like I I don't know.
00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:16.639
I'm just a baby.
00:11:16.799 --> 00:11:20.879
I'm just a baby trying to figure it out, figure out this world that you guys live in.
00:11:21.039 --> 00:11:27.759
Uh and I find like people say international break, and I go, oh, international break.
00:11:27.840 --> 00:11:30.639
People are going to do international things, and then I don't really know.
00:11:30.720 --> 00:11:34.639
And then you say nations league, and I go, that doesn't I'm I'm not sure what that is.
00:11:34.799 --> 00:11:40.320
And then and then the world, yeah, I I agree with everything you're saying because I don't know what I'm talking about.
00:11:40.639 --> 00:11:47.600
Well, we can't and we're gonna get we're gonna get to to one other person in our core group later, uh, who also did not know it was an international break.
00:11:47.679 --> 00:11:55.600
So when we get to some questions later on, we're gonna dive into some of some of the same that attack for later though.
00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:59.120
You you mentioned fantasy.
00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:01.840
Are y'all feeling good going into this break?
00:12:01.919 --> 00:12:03.360
Does it come at a bad time?
00:12:03.440 --> 00:12:04.559
Are you gonna be stewing?
00:12:04.639 --> 00:12:05.919
Are you resting on your laurels?
00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:08.480
How are you feeling after five weeks?
00:12:08.559 --> 00:12:09.919
That feels like I don't know.
00:12:10.080 --> 00:12:11.200
Is that barely anything?
00:12:11.279 --> 00:12:12.559
Is that a chunk of the season?
00:12:12.799 --> 00:12:14.080
You want to take that first, Pete?
00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:20.320
I would like to take this first because I pet did his wild card what last week, Pat?
00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:21.360
Two weeks ago?
00:12:21.519 --> 00:12:28.240
Well last week, you said you always do it in the first international break, and now I'm going like, where am I supposed to do my wild card?
00:12:28.320 --> 00:12:30.320
Where does some Pete don't do his wild card?
00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:31.759
And I'm like, shit, man.
00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:33.279
Like, my team feels fine.
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:46.720
Jow Pedro being injured kind of hurt me because I switched off a DCL to Jiao Pedro after DCL got 14 points, and I don't know what he did last week because I was like focusing on not paying attention to zero.
00:12:46.879 --> 00:12:47.120
Good.
00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:47.360
Good.
00:12:47.440 --> 00:12:48.559
I'm glad he got two.
00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:49.840
He he he he blanked, yeah.
00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:50.320
Good.
00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:51.039
I'm glad he got it.
00:12:51.600 --> 00:12:53.679
Absolutely should have scored, but blanked.
00:12:54.000 --> 00:12:56.559
But oh yeah, that's the one where he was right in front of the goal, right?
00:12:56.639 --> 00:12:57.440
And he just knew it.
00:12:57.679 --> 00:12:58.320
So anyway.
00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:00.320
We had several of those last week.
00:13:00.720 --> 00:13:04.080
So I don't know what to do because I think my team's okay.
00:13:04.240 --> 00:13:05.840
I'm really actually kind of excited about it.
00:13:05.919 --> 00:13:07.120
I keep climbing up the rankings.
00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:10.159
I'm at like nine or eleven or something now.
00:13:10.320 --> 00:13:21.120
Um and uh I'm kind of excited about this team, but I am also because I was work I started out with no Chelsea players, and then now I have three thinking that Chelsea was gonna be really good.
00:13:21.279 --> 00:13:23.279
Now I don't even think Chelsea's very good anymore.
00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:32.559
So I don't know what's going on, but I have I have Palmer Yeah, I have Palmer Morgan and uh and uh and and Jao Pedro.
00:13:33.200 --> 00:13:38.799
Um so yeah, I'm I'm kind of excited for it to come back three weeks from now.
00:13:39.039 --> 00:13:53.600
Uh when I'm I I mean uh largely I have I things have gone the way that I like I I like my team and I the plan has not gone too far off of what I had intended to start the year.
00:13:53.679 --> 00:13:55.519
So that part is good, I think.
00:13:56.080 --> 00:13:57.279
I mean, of course I have regrets.
00:13:57.360 --> 00:14:03.120
I benched you know gross again this weekend, and he's like, I mean, we gotta talk about we gotta talk about Pascal Gross at some point.
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:04.399
I mean, it's just totally insane.
00:14:04.559 --> 00:14:09.919
Um guy's like in his you know early to mid 30s, and he's he's seemingly the best player in the league right now.
00:14:10.159 --> 00:14:18.799
Um, but I so the frustration is like, yeah, I think I've made a couple of mistakes, but I mean overall, I like I did exactly what I wanted to do.
00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:20.960
I'm one week early on the wild card, but that's okay.
00:14:21.039 --> 00:14:25.200
I still like the team, even though it was the you know, it's just the standard wildcard disaster.
00:14:25.279 --> 00:14:27.200
It was a bad week, and I was negative seven.
00:14:27.279 --> 00:14:29.679
I looked at it earlier from if I had just left my team alone.
00:14:29.840 --> 00:14:34.240
But I actually do like the team going forward, so I'm not really worried too much on that front.
00:14:34.480 --> 00:14:41.840
Um, but it's just it's hard when even now, like I'm dropped down 600k is fine right now.
00:14:42.080 --> 00:14:45.679
Very like if I had started with that from the other direction and had climbed to 600k, it'd be fine.
00:14:45.759 --> 00:14:55.679
It's frustrating when you start and you're kind of hovering around 100, 200k, and then you have a week like this where you drop 400 spots um in one week that doesn't seem all that bad, but like that's just the way it goes early season.
00:14:55.759 --> 00:15:02.879
Like there's huge swings like that because it's only I'm I mean, I think right now I'm still only like 20 points behind the league leader, and that's a difference of 600,000 spots, you know.
00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:04.480
Like it's it's just the way things are right now.
00:15:04.559 --> 00:15:13.360
It's not so there's nothing to worry about, but if you just look at it already and you start doing those things where like, well, if I just played gross those two weeks that I benched him, I'd be leading the league right now.
00:15:13.440 --> 00:15:16.639
You know, like that that's that's where but that everybody else has those same things, right?
00:15:16.720 --> 00:15:17.679
I mean, anybody can say that.
00:15:17.759 --> 00:15:35.519
We just have those little things that are aggravations, but um so it's fine, but it's yeah, now I'm just like sitting here and I just want it to resume, and I gotta sit here for three weeks and and and watch pro football, which I'm increasingly disliking, I have to say, but we that's a conversation for a different time.
00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:38.480
But um yeah, so it's fine.
00:15:38.559 --> 00:15:39.600
I'm doing doing okay.
00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:40.559
I just hate this break.
00:15:41.200 --> 00:15:42.000
What about you, Chief?
00:15:42.399 --> 00:15:48.799
Uh oh, I'll just say, yeah, there were some NFL on wires in Pennsylvania, and I was like, man, I'm just so out of it.
00:15:49.039 --> 00:15:56.000
And the little a little pop-up for me came, oh, international break is when you catch up on your NBA podcasts.
00:15:56.320 --> 00:15:58.480
But I'm not sure if I'm gonna do that.
00:15:59.200 --> 00:16:02.559
Yeah, I uh so I feel fine.
00:16:02.639 --> 00:16:03.840
I'm ticking along.
00:16:04.000 --> 00:16:15.600
The biggest thing I'm frustrated about, and I I think I have had mentioned this, was like all week long I had in my mind, like, I'm not gonna go for Palmer because it just feels too risky for me.
00:16:15.759 --> 00:16:20.480
I'm gonna bring in Rogers, that's gonna be my second Chelsea, and I'm gonna captain Jao Pedro.
00:16:20.559 --> 00:16:22.320
He seems more stable.
00:16:23.120 --> 00:16:29.120
And for whatever reason, an FN listened to some content creators, they were all like, oh, I'm gonna captain Palmer.
00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:36.559
And I was like, all right, I can do it, and I'll drop Bruno and I'll bring in Yeah, and Rogers and Jao Pedro both outscored him.
00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:41.279
I feel like uh Oh, you mean two weeks ago for the for the for the weeks ago?
00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:46.480
And now I'm stuck, and now I'm stuck with Palmer, and I think I messaged Palmer's now on my DCL list.
00:16:46.559 --> 00:16:49.840
Not that they're bad, but just emotionally I can't own them.
00:16:50.240 --> 00:17:03.919
I feel like on a on a on a cartoon show or or something where some animated mom are just like Muppet Babies, the legs come in and they said, now Chief, if all the content creators were jumping off a bridge, would you jump off a bridge?
00:17:04.480 --> 00:17:08.880
If uh FPL wire and fantasy general peed their pants, would you pee your pants?
00:17:09.039 --> 00:17:13.279
Well, I I pull you fucking peed my pants and brought in brought in Palmer.
00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:18.880
Yeah, I mean, well, on that note, and now you're creating content.
00:17:19.200 --> 00:17:20.640
Like it's all terrible.
00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:24.319
We should quickly tap on that because Pete alluded to it earlier.
00:17:24.480 --> 00:17:37.440
This this Chelsea situation is I mean, we don't need to go into it for long, but it's frustrating because they did look I mean, at least attacking, their D has been a mess all year, and I think it's gonna continue to be a mess.
00:17:37.519 --> 00:17:38.880
I don't know what they're gonna do to resolve that.
00:17:39.920 --> 00:17:42.640
I'm sure Zabby is not happy about that situation.
00:17:42.960 --> 00:17:46.960
But like they looked so good in some of those opening matches.
00:17:47.039 --> 00:18:01.680
I mean, they played great in that match against Arsenal, even though they lost, and like you know, Palmer looked like he was back on it, and then these last two, I he almost I do wonder about this injury whether or not, you know, most people are speculating that it's just him pulling out because he didn't want to play in the in the during the break.
00:18:01.759 --> 00:18:07.279
But I do wonder if if there's something else going on here, and that is immediately worrying.
00:18:07.440 --> 00:18:14.559
Um, because I think if you and we saw it this past weekend, if you take any of those three core pieces out up front, they're not nearly as good.
00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:17.759
And Pedro, I mean, they were they that was they they were terrible this weekend.
00:18:17.920 --> 00:18:20.160
Like it was it was really worrying.
00:18:20.720 --> 00:18:36.079
I think they're that annoying team that plays really well against good teams and doesn't do very and and they have such a great fixture, like they're they're so set up right now, yeah, but they're just they suck against bad teams, and it's like so now it'll be.
00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:38.400
Well, they like they look generally good to start the year, though.
00:18:38.480 --> 00:18:40.000
And it was like a little bit of back and forth, you know.
00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:57.599
I mean, like they had that I don't know, it's just yeah, it's it's they're they're worrying, and it's like it it's always you know, you never like it when you have three people from a worrying team, the team that doesn't look quite right, you know, and it's just like I mean, we're all in that position now because I wild carded into it too.
00:18:57.839 --> 00:19:00.960
Um but we'll just have to see how it goes.
00:19:01.039 --> 00:19:08.640
Hopefully they come out of the break and act, you know, that maybe that's enough time for this manager to get get the act together and and get them back in shape, and then hopefully Pedro's back too.
00:19:08.720 --> 00:19:12.079
Because if not, um though, excuse me, I actually left Pedro out of my wild card.
00:19:12.160 --> 00:19:13.279
I got Barry instead.
00:19:13.440 --> 00:19:18.160
Um Chief, by the way, that's a horseshit call on his second goal.
00:19:19.920 --> 00:19:21.200
Yeah, I didn't understand that.
00:19:21.279 --> 00:19:24.240
That they there was an interference with the goalkeeper.
00:19:24.559 --> 00:19:29.920
Yeah, I mean, I and and like I Brendan Johnson, first off, is an idiot because the like it looked like he did it intentionally.
00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:33.920
I don't I mean, like it was so dumb, but like it also just didn't interfere with him.
00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:35.839
I mean, it's just it's a stupid call.
00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:37.359
I I yeah, I hate it.
00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:48.640
But I mean, like, he made it all the worse because he he like not only did he clearly do it on purpose, but then he kind of did like I didn't do nothing to nobody, you know, just like give me a break.
00:19:49.119 --> 00:19:50.559
Classic way to draw attention to yourself.
00:19:50.720 --> 00:19:52.640
Yeah, just like it was it was awful.
00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:55.200
Yeah, it was oh god, it was frustrating.
00:19:55.440 --> 00:19:57.359
Um, anyway, yeah, yeah, right.
00:19:57.440 --> 00:19:58.559
Yeah, yeah.
00:19:58.799 --> 00:20:01.119
And then just yeah, I need I needed those points.
00:20:01.200 --> 00:20:02.480
Anyway, go ahead.
00:20:02.880 --> 00:20:05.920
I'm also looking at early season chips.
00:20:06.160 --> 00:20:15.680
So because uh I did not I didn't tune in to EPL until like three, four days before the season started.
00:20:16.559 --> 00:20:23.759
So I was not I was like, I'm not doing the the early uh bench boost or like the week three wild card.
00:20:23.839 --> 00:20:25.680
I'm not like prepared for that.
00:20:25.920 --> 00:20:35.839
But once I got back into it, I sort of understand the the reasons for it, just the way this the schedule was was looking.
00:20:35.920 --> 00:20:42.559
So I have some I don't want to say regrets because this is a familiar way for me to play, but I I understand better the reasons.
00:20:42.799 --> 00:20:46.079
So let me look at FPL Game Week here.
00:20:46.480 --> 00:20:49.920
Moffitt, I think you've you're you're playing the way you like to play.
00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:52.240
You've already used three of your chips in the first five weeks, though.
00:20:52.319 --> 00:20:53.119
I have that right.
00:20:53.440 --> 00:20:58.640
Yeah, and and like I said, the intent for me was to use three in the in the first six weeks.
00:20:58.799 --> 00:21:01.039
I did jump the gun one week early on the wild card.
00:21:01.119 --> 00:21:08.000
But I mean that was that was my plan going all the the only thing I thought about was waiting until 16 to play Holland triple cap.
00:21:08.559 --> 00:21:14.880
But yeah, at the time Hull was looking you know good to start in Coventry looked terrible, so I was like, well, let's just pull the trigger now when everybody I mean, most other people did.
00:21:14.960 --> 00:21:25.599
So now I mean I you know, and I think actually if you look at our league overall, there there has been a tremendous amount of early trip trip usage from from at least from the top, you know, the typical contenders.
00:21:25.759 --> 00:21:28.079
Um and I I I think you're right.
00:21:28.160 --> 00:21:31.039
I mean, that just seems to be the people are the way people are playing this year.
00:21:31.119 --> 00:21:37.680
I mean, I'm laughing now because I've I've played the bench boost in game week one three years in a row, but now it's like a regular trend, and it makes more sense now.
00:21:37.839 --> 00:21:42.480
The first year that I did it, we only had one for the season, and I still I still played it in the first week.
00:21:42.640 --> 00:21:51.039
So, I mean, I think this new the you know, this newfound bland where we have a chip, you know, all two sets of each chip, like there's just no reason not to play it in week.
00:21:51.119 --> 00:21:55.119
I'm gonna play it in week one as long as I do this, because there's just no I I want it out of my way.
00:21:55.279 --> 00:21:56.559
Um, and you were talking about this.
00:21:56.640 --> 00:21:59.759
I mean, right now you're you're you're contending with the fact that now you need to figure out how to play.
00:22:00.079 --> 00:22:05.359
It right, but I I still think you're you're gonna you'll I mean it's you should be fine, like it's just a pain in the ass to deal with, yeah.
00:22:05.680 --> 00:22:11.440
Well, tw uh twice already this season I've left 22 points on the bench, so there's points to be had with my team.
00:22:11.599 --> 00:22:13.519
I don't know if I can pull it off.
00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:18.799
Um that's um but yeah, it just seems to be the way things are being played now.
00:22:18.880 --> 00:22:27.680
And this, you know, I I I haven't paid as much attention because, like you said, I'm always pretty aggressive with it with it anyway, to the point of stupidity, obviously.
00:22:27.920 --> 00:22:35.359
Um, but I haven't paid too much attention as to why others are doing it all other than you know, fixtures and just good opportunity, I think.
00:22:36.799 --> 00:22:50.000
Yeah, so there's there's less and l as you said, because we have to use one in the first half, yeah, there's virtually no reason that there's gonna be double game weeks.
00:22:50.240 --> 00:22:59.680
Uh maybe if something crazy happens in the cups, but there shouldn't be a like a worldwide pandemic or another monarch dying or anything like that.
00:22:59.839 --> 00:23:01.839
We kind of had a bunch of those in a row.
00:23:02.079 --> 00:23:02.319
Yeah.
00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:15.839
Um and when so then what you do is you look at when are your like enablers, when do they have good games, and a lot of those fixtures were early in the season.
00:23:16.160 --> 00:23:33.759
So try to use that bench boost and then yeah, and it's certainly if if you can bench boost early and then wild card out of it, that sort of sets you up better than trying to navigate the season, wildcard into a bench boost, and then you can see it.
00:23:33.920 --> 00:23:36.079
Well, say so you are in this situation now.
00:23:36.160 --> 00:23:41.039
I mean, what you are going to it sounded like from a little bit of background conversation that you might wild card soon.
00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:45.440
Are you setting that are you immediately setting that up for a bench boost to follow, or like what's your plan?
00:23:45.759 --> 00:24:04.880
I'm trying to think of what is a team that will feel good for me, and then given that team what would be a good bench boost week, and maybe if there's a 50-50 decision on the like 4.0 guy.
00:24:05.119 --> 00:24:13.039
The big the biggest thing is I'm carrying Kinski and Verbrugen, and it's like so I mean that's the other way.
00:24:13.119 --> 00:24:14.720
I uh normally I look at a bench boost.
00:24:14.799 --> 00:24:17.519
When do both my goalkeepers have a good fixture?
00:24:17.839 --> 00:24:30.000
And the rest of it is like I don't want to say dumb luck, but as a so I'm uh increasing my data collection, my spreadsheet's gonna be more crazier.
00:24:30.160 --> 00:24:35.759
I'm recording my bench boosts like around my bench points each week.
00:24:36.000 --> 00:24:44.559
And so I can see sort of that number, and I'm doing an average uh that sounds like a good way to set yourself up for some extreme anger later on, but I like it.
00:24:44.799 --> 00:24:52.000
So because you have this track, hopefully it plays out well where that where your actual play of it matches up with the rest of your point collection.
00:24:52.319 --> 00:24:57.680
Um because Joe Pedro didn't play and I got a zero on my bench, yeah.
00:24:57.920 --> 00:25:01.359
My average bench points this season are down to 17.
00:25:01.920 --> 00:25:03.440
Oof, 17 a week, yeah.
00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:06.960
I mean, I I might not be too far off of that either now, because I'm bench gross twice for Hall.
00:25:07.039 --> 00:25:08.480
So it's like I, you know.
00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:12.880
Um You could just do a bench boost any time then.
00:25:13.680 --> 00:25:17.920
Well, so so that's that's the like you're kind of set up for it.
00:25:18.400 --> 00:25:20.799
That's the uh well then that's the other thing.
00:25:20.880 --> 00:25:32.960
Like I didn't I don't have any I don't have a 4.0 goalkeeper, I don't have a 4.5 attacker, so it's like I mean the way Sully just like pulled the trigger and he's like F at bench boost.
00:25:33.519 --> 00:25:50.240
So just like the nice thing is right now, I mean, like there are so many cheap midfielders and defenders that like I think you can put a geek team together on wildcard that still would be what you want, and you'd be fine for almost any bench boost week.
00:25:50.319 --> 00:25:51.359
You just have to pick the right players.
00:25:51.440 --> 00:25:55.440
I mean, you know, I mean there's like there's all those whole guys look reasonably fine.
00:25:55.599 --> 00:25:58.000
Uh you know, Leaf Davis is fine on D.
00:25:58.079 --> 00:26:05.519
Like, I mean, there's there's there's so many options out there at those cheap price points that I don't even really think it matters right now.
00:26:05.599 --> 00:26:12.079
You know, like you could still set up your wild card team with a team that's very attractive for the starting 11 and still have a functional bench boost.
00:26:12.160 --> 00:26:14.559
I mean, there's I yeah, I don't I just don't think I would stress about it too much.
00:26:14.640 --> 00:26:16.720
Just pick a week that you think looks good and play it.
00:26:17.039 --> 00:26:20.880
But you do, I mean right, you do need everybody, you know, startable at least.
00:26:21.039 --> 00:26:21.359
Yeah.
00:26:22.079 --> 00:26:23.119
That's sort of the other thing.
00:26:23.279 --> 00:26:24.799
Oh, all uh what is it?
00:26:24.880 --> 00:26:26.559
All 15 guys are starting?
00:26:26.880 --> 00:26:29.440
Maybe that's maybe you just click bench boost, right?
00:26:29.519 --> 00:26:31.440
And I mean, right, like why wild card this week?
00:26:31.519 --> 00:26:33.359
If I mean, like, do you have a functional bench boost?
00:26:33.680 --> 00:26:34.160
Have you looked at it?
00:26:34.240 --> 00:26:38.319
Do you could you just play it this next week and then be done with it and then wild card and not have to worry about it again?
00:26:38.480 --> 00:26:39.279
Oh, interesting.
00:26:39.519 --> 00:26:42.640
You could do it backwards if you felt like it was actually good enough.
00:26:42.880 --> 00:26:45.039
Um, I'm carrying.
00:26:46.720 --> 00:26:47.359
Yeah.
00:26:48.079 --> 00:26:49.920
Yeah, I could look, I could look at that.
00:26:50.480 --> 00:26:55.839
That might be worth just, you know, like if you want it out of the way and you don't want the stress of dealing with it, and you actually have like 15 starters.
00:26:55.920 --> 00:26:58.799
I mean, like, what are the chances of having 15 starters coming out of the international break?
00:26:58.880 --> 00:26:59.359
But maybe you will.
00:26:59.440 --> 00:27:00.960
I mean, if you do, then the hell with it.
00:27:01.119 --> 00:27:12.240
Yeah, the two considerations were wild card six, bench boost seven, or wild card seven, and then bench boost by 11 at the latest.
00:27:12.720 --> 00:27:13.039
Okay.
00:27:13.759 --> 00:27:16.480
Pete, what Pete, what do you have left?
00:27:16.880 --> 00:27:19.920
Uh I have I I used my bench boost in the first week.
00:27:20.240 --> 00:27:23.039
So you still have wild card and free hit?
00:27:23.359 --> 00:27:25.279
I have wildcard free hit and triple cap.
00:27:25.680 --> 00:27:27.359
Oh, you have all you have all three?
00:27:27.599 --> 00:27:27.920
Yeah.
00:27:28.000 --> 00:27:28.160
Yeah.
00:27:28.400 --> 00:27:28.720
Oh wow.
00:27:29.200 --> 00:27:30.880
Yeah, you're in a you're in a you're in a good position then.
00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:31.200
Okay.
00:27:31.279 --> 00:27:32.400
Um I guess.
00:27:33.119 --> 00:27:34.319
I mean, I think there's still funny.
00:27:35.920 --> 00:27:42.160
This is when I hold on to everything, and then like the um the chaotic part of me just one week goes gross.
00:27:42.480 --> 00:27:47.279
He had 14, you know, triple cap gross, and then he doesn't do anything that week.
00:27:47.440 --> 00:27:51.039
So and then everybody goes, dude, he was injured.
00:27:51.359 --> 00:27:52.720
He's clearly injured.
00:27:52.960 --> 00:27:55.519
Have you not have you not been watching or paying attention to anything?
00:27:55.599 --> 00:27:58.160
And I'll be like, uh you know, you know.
00:27:59.119 --> 00:28:00.720
So we'll see what happens.
00:28:00.960 --> 00:28:08.079
I think holding on to holding on to the chip sometimes to me creates enough stress and tension that it's not worth it.
00:28:08.319 --> 00:28:17.680
Like it's just like I'd rather just follow somebody else into some chip that doesn't work than to leave it to me like being like, I'm gonna hold on to these forever.
00:28:18.319 --> 00:28:19.200
But you know.
00:28:26.559 --> 00:28:27.680
But I but who knows?
00:28:27.920 --> 00:28:29.599
There's just way too much time to know.
00:28:30.240 --> 00:28:37.920
Um so uh I want to talk about these some more uh some of the some more of the league standing.
00:28:38.000 --> 00:28:40.880
So someone hit me with a La Liga recap sting.
00:28:42.960 --> 00:28:44.480
La Liga recap.
00:28:45.839 --> 00:28:47.599
So I'm looking here.
00:28:48.480 --> 00:28:48.799
Nemins.
00:28:51.279 --> 00:28:56.720
Nemens is in first, has used three chips, but has used zero transfers.
00:28:56.799 --> 00:28:57.519
Have you seen this?
00:28:57.680 --> 00:29:02.240
No transfers, and his team value is the highest that I can notice.
00:29:02.400 --> 00:29:03.519
101.7.
00:29:04.000 --> 00:29:05.200
Who is this guy?
00:29:05.680 --> 00:29:10.160
That that's that's that that's not that's I mean, a couple of different things here.
00:29:10.319 --> 00:29:14.079
Um one, you know, I mean, Steven went without Holland to start.
00:29:14.160 --> 00:29:21.279
So he played that that he he and I, you know, I mean, I was going back and forth with him, and I did not at the time think it was a good idea, but he came out of it just fine.
00:29:21.359 --> 00:29:22.799
I mean, I've seen others that have not.
00:29:22.880 --> 00:29:25.599
What the people have have that didn't start with either Bruno or Holland.
00:29:25.680 --> 00:29:31.359
I've seen quite a few that have found it to be a disaster, but he uh I mean he seems to have played it perfectly.
00:29:31.599 --> 00:29:35.839
Um and uh yeah, I don't know how he couldn't be happy with his start.
00:29:35.920 --> 00:29:41.200
I mean, he's gotten almost everything right so far, and like, I mean, even though with playing the three chips, like that's what you play him for.
00:29:41.279 --> 00:29:43.759
You play him to end up in first to start after the time that you played him.
00:29:43.839 --> 00:29:51.920
So, like, I mean, and the fact that he yeah, that he's already played his wild card but now has five transfers, like, you know, he's essentially built himself a second wild card.
00:29:52.000 --> 00:29:54.240
So he's yeah, that's that's awesome.
00:29:55.119 --> 00:29:55.759
Good start.
00:29:56.319 --> 00:30:04.960
And then the other thing I see as I'm looking big picture, it looks like at least according to FPL Game Week, no one has used their free hit yet.
00:30:07.359 --> 00:30:09.279
That's interesting because I know a lot of people have too.
00:30:09.359 --> 00:30:20.240
I mean, there's there's there's there's some of the content creators have just gone through all four of the first five weeks, which is like kind of crazy, but um I but I wouldn't are you gonna are you gonna do a run through?
00:30:20.319 --> 00:30:24.559
Because I have one other thing to say um on on the on just the general list.
00:30:24.640 --> 00:30:25.920
Do you want to do the top ten?
00:30:27.039 --> 00:30:30.720
Well, Brizeiz in second.
00:30:31.519 --> 00:30:34.079
Uh the menace, right?
00:30:34.160 --> 00:30:35.039
He's in third.
00:30:35.359 --> 00:30:37.279
So let me just stop on that one for a second.
00:30:37.759 --> 00:30:44.400
Because this little this little punk kid is is getting real cocky all of a sudden.
00:30:44.640 --> 00:30:50.319
Um and I don't know whether it's just because he started playing, like a couple of his teammates on his on his team are now playing too.
00:30:50.400 --> 00:30:58.799
And and um, I mean they're not in the same league, he's just in our league, but he has started to because we've now we're on this trend of he has either a tournament or a game every weekend.
00:30:58.880 --> 00:31:02.160
Um I'm very much in the you know, like we're just gone all the goddamn time.
00:31:02.240 --> 00:31:05.599
I've hardly seen any matches this season, or not full matches anyway.
00:31:05.839 --> 00:31:10.480
Um, but he is really loving laying it into me a little bit.
00:31:10.559 --> 00:31:19.759
This we had a little had a little shot about the other day we were riding down to his game, and he was looking at it on his iPad, and he was like, Oh, you didn't pick up to Kuiper.
00:31:19.920 --> 00:31:20.720
He's crushing it.
00:31:21.039 --> 00:31:22.880
It's just like you little shit.
00:31:23.200 --> 00:31:25.440
Oh, yeah, it's been pretty funny lately.
00:31:25.519 --> 00:31:28.960
So I just wanted to stop there because up and you know, in the previous seasons, he's like been in and out.
00:31:29.119 --> 00:31:34.240
He is now fully, he's operating his own team, and he's uh decided to start talking a little trash.
00:31:34.319 --> 00:31:39.839
So I just want to I I'm hopefully this ends with his failure where I can just really weigh into him about it.
00:31:40.000 --> 00:31:41.839
But at the moment he's doing well.
00:31:42.160 --> 00:31:44.880
Pete, you know him, you've known the menace a long time.
00:31:44.960 --> 00:31:47.839
How's his how's his trash talking come along?
00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:49.839
He doesn't well see.
00:31:49.920 --> 00:31:54.079
I think he um he's a Moffit.
00:31:54.160 --> 00:31:55.359
He's gonna be able to trash talk.
00:31:55.440 --> 00:31:59.440
It's not it's not very issues, it's not a question of whether or not he will.
00:31:59.680 --> 00:32:04.160
He will, and he will also probably be better than me, which really pisses me off.
00:32:04.400 --> 00:32:11.839
Um, I played him in Connect 4, which he is uh a savant, basically, at.
00:32:12.240 --> 00:32:20.160
And uh he didn't really trash talk very much to me, but he just beat me so consistently that it was probably not much fun for him.
00:32:20.319 --> 00:32:24.960
So we got we got different reports from his camp counselor uh this this summer.
00:32:25.039 --> 00:32:33.759
Um, because he was running, he was running, running through people at camp too, including the counselors, and they said he was he was he was talking quite a bit of trash.
00:32:34.079 --> 00:32:37.519
So I think it's just I think it's just I think it's a more recent comfort level.
00:32:37.599 --> 00:32:41.599
You know, he's uh yeah, he's turning into a little shit, which is yeah, good for him.
00:32:41.839 --> 00:32:42.799
Um anyway, all right.
00:32:42.960 --> 00:32:44.799
So keep going from there, Chief.
00:32:45.039 --> 00:32:47.359
Uh Chief in fourth.
00:32:47.519 --> 00:32:49.680
Uh Simon Amos.
00:32:49.759 --> 00:32:52.480
Do do I You're up to you're up to fourth, Chief?
00:32:52.799 --> 00:32:53.920
Yeah, just ticking along.
00:32:54.000 --> 00:32:55.359
That's Chief's nice work.
00:32:55.440 --> 00:32:56.240
That's nice work, man.
00:32:56.319 --> 00:32:56.640
Good job.
00:32:56.880 --> 00:32:58.799
What'd you what'd you finish on this past week?
00:32:59.039 --> 00:32:59.599
58.
00:32:59.920 --> 00:33:01.200
Oh, that's a good one.
00:33:04.240 --> 00:33:06.400
Pretty high on the uh the the money too.
00:33:06.799 --> 00:33:10.720
Which is impressive because I took a bath on on Braby.
00:33:11.039 --> 00:33:17.200
I'm gonna lose on Shaw, and I've missed a bunch of price rises on guys.
00:33:17.279 --> 00:33:20.400
So forgot you transferred out Brady before his hat trick.
00:33:20.559 --> 00:33:21.200
Oh, that's brutal.
00:33:21.279 --> 00:33:24.559
Well, still, you had a much better week than most, so that's not no big deal.
00:33:24.880 --> 00:33:26.799
Um okay, cool.
00:33:26.960 --> 00:33:28.640
I well was that the full top ten?
00:33:29.119 --> 00:33:31.039
And then Simon Amos is fifth.
00:33:31.119 --> 00:33:31.920
Is do I know him?
00:33:32.160 --> 00:33:33.039
I'd say we go 11.
00:33:33.519 --> 00:33:37.599
He's the he's the he's the he's the Simon's league winner last year.
00:33:37.920 --> 00:33:38.480
He's been around.
00:33:38.960 --> 00:33:40.640
He's a little, he's he's a long time little.
00:33:41.359 --> 00:33:43.440
Uh Lama's in sixth.
00:33:43.599 --> 00:33:44.319
I don't know.
00:33:44.480 --> 00:33:46.240
He had a bad week though, huh?
00:33:46.480 --> 00:33:47.759
We're gonna get to that.
00:33:48.000 --> 00:33:48.319
Okay.
00:33:48.799 --> 00:33:51.759
Here's the second Moffitt, two Moffits in the top ten.
00:33:52.799 --> 00:33:54.559
Uh you're in seventh.
00:33:54.720 --> 00:33:58.240
Uh Phil Wilson in in eighth.
00:33:58.480 --> 00:33:58.720
Mr.
00:33:58.799 --> 00:33:59.599
Rogers neighbor.
00:33:59.759 --> 00:34:00.400
Okay, I like that.
00:34:00.559 --> 00:34:03.680
Allison Road, Bobby Gottfried is in ninth.
00:34:03.920 --> 00:34:06.319
Also hasn't made any transfers, hasn't used any chips.
00:34:06.880 --> 00:34:08.639
Hasn't paid attention since the first kick.
00:34:08.800 --> 00:34:09.360
Guaranteed.
00:34:09.679 --> 00:34:10.239
Crushing it.
00:34:10.480 --> 00:34:11.440
Does it every year?
00:34:11.920 --> 00:34:13.360
Uh Tim Wise.
00:34:14.320 --> 00:34:19.360
And then in 11th and 12th, we have uh Pete and Sully.
00:34:21.599 --> 00:34:23.280
Sully's had a little bit of a comeback here, too.
00:34:23.360 --> 00:34:24.079
That's that's that's cool.
00:34:24.239 --> 00:34:27.360
So that's I mean, like, you know, and uh overall, I think we're off to a nice start here.
00:34:27.440 --> 00:34:30.000
I mean, like, if you look, the bulk of that is in the top million.
00:34:30.079 --> 00:34:31.039
That's not bad.
00:34:31.280 --> 00:34:33.920
Um, so it's a good overall league start, too.
00:34:34.000 --> 00:34:38.559
I think it's just uh yeah, I'll be very interested to see how this plays out and whether or not Steven can hold on.
00:34:38.639 --> 00:34:43.440
But boy, is he set himself he's he's set himself up for long-term success here with this strategy.
00:34:43.840 --> 00:34:44.480
Well, hold on.
00:34:44.559 --> 00:34:52.400
I gotta scroll down all the way to the the ghost robot is in uh real crispy is in 28th.
00:34:53.119 --> 00:34:58.480
Ooh, is he just wildcarded, and he wildcarded into 30 points.
00:34:58.800 --> 00:35:01.360
Oof, that was that this was a rough week for a lot of people.
00:35:01.440 --> 00:35:06.480
I mean, I I saw so many single-digit scores like going in like halfway through the day of Sunday.
00:35:06.639 --> 00:35:07.679
Um, and it's a miracle.
00:35:07.760 --> 00:35:09.199
I mean, I was only on 17 at the time.
00:35:09.280 --> 00:35:13.039
Thank God I climbed out of it a little bit, but that was a that was a rough week, man.
00:35:13.519 --> 00:35:22.880
Um, I think half the damn people on the planet transferring him MGW to to do nothing was a killer, and a lot of people capped him too.
00:35:22.960 --> 00:35:25.280
I think Sullet capped him, if I remember correctly.
00:35:25.519 --> 00:35:27.840
Um so yeah, it's it.
00:35:27.920 --> 00:35:29.440
That was uh it was just one of those weeks.
00:35:29.519 --> 00:35:30.400
It was a bummer.
00:35:30.480 --> 00:35:34.400
I mean, I felt lucky to escape with 40 points, honestly, or 41, whatever I finished on.
00:35:35.199 --> 00:35:40.000
All right, we better do our questions here because I know we're limited on time.
00:35:41.599 --> 00:35:50.400
Uh so I don't know exactly how he phrased it, but uh Llama's question was just can I keep up my good start?
00:35:52.480 --> 00:35:53.760
Pete, you want to answer this?
00:35:54.079 --> 00:35:56.800
Because I'll I'll I'll I'll say something.
00:35:57.280 --> 00:35:57.679
Winter.
00:35:58.000 --> 00:36:00.239
No, you you say yeah, yeah, I no.
00:36:00.639 --> 00:36:02.719
Probably the answer is no, but the just goes.
00:36:02.880 --> 00:36:04.880
I mean the answer's the answer's obviously no.
00:36:05.039 --> 00:36:06.239
It's there's no chance.
00:36:06.320 --> 00:36:07.679
I mean, like, there's no chance.
00:36:07.760 --> 00:36:09.519
It's every I mean he's done this a couple of times.
00:36:09.679 --> 00:36:15.599
A couple of seasons ago, he was all the way into the second half of the season and leading the league, and I think he finished like three mil.
00:36:15.840 --> 00:36:21.519
Like it's just there's so many questions about this human's behavior.
00:36:21.760 --> 00:36:26.960
I don't understand anything that's going on in his mind at any given time.
00:36:27.119 --> 00:36:38.559
And like, if you look at our just the wonderful thread this week, I I we started a new channel this week based on something that in the Discord, based on something that Lama said in his night out in Nashville.
00:36:38.960 --> 00:36:42.480
Um, and that's you know, like that's I think that states it all.
00:36:42.559 --> 00:36:44.480
Like, I you know, I'm not in charge of what happens.
00:36:44.559 --> 00:36:47.760
I mean, that's yes, and that's why we have problems.
00:36:47.920 --> 00:36:54.159
I mean, like this and like going into the international breakup, which up until yesterday apparently had no idea was happening.
00:36:54.320 --> 00:36:59.760
I mean, like, there's no I think you well, actually, we're gonna get to your zombie league later, Chief.
00:36:59.840 --> 00:37:06.559
I think there is a way to play this game where you can just not pay any attention whatsoever and do fine.
00:37:06.800 --> 00:37:18.719
I think llama is the worst case scenario of like not knowing what the hell's going on in any given moment and then being way too overactive in the game.
00:37:18.960 --> 00:37:25.679
And it's just like the decision making is constantly like, what in the whole hell is going on, man?
00:37:25.840 --> 00:37:38.159
Like if you I mean, sometimes like you know, he he keeps talking about the fact that he's paying attention and he's like, I'm playing this year, this is the year, and then it's like I made an early transfer, I don't know what I'm doing.
00:37:38.239 --> 00:37:41.199
I transferred, I'm just like, what is going on?
00:37:41.360 --> 00:37:48.079
And then, like, it, you know, a week later, it's like took an eight-point hit, then he took a 25-point hit or 24-point hit.
00:37:48.159 --> 00:37:58.559
Then it, I mean, it's just it's all gonna go the same way, and it's gonna end badly, and it's he's gonna fail, and he's gonna, but he's like to his ongoing credit, he always laughs it off.
00:37:58.639 --> 00:38:00.559
He's he's very self-deprecating.
00:38:00.639 --> 00:38:10.719
He's I mean, James is awesome, but he's like, No, the answer's no, you're not gonna hold on to this, and until you prove otherwise, like this is a laughable question.
00:38:10.880 --> 00:38:17.039
Like, you're gonna fall apart, it's gonna be a disaster, and we're gonna continue to give you shit about it.
00:38:18.000 --> 00:38:18.960
Yeah, that isn't.
00:38:19.039 --> 00:38:20.639
I mean, the team, the team looks good.
00:38:20.719 --> 00:38:25.039
That's interesting in terms of like what are the suggestions?
00:38:25.280 --> 00:38:29.679
Uh, when your team looks stable, like forget your password for three weeks.
00:38:29.760 --> 00:38:31.920
Maybe that's maybe that's a new strategy.
00:38:32.400 --> 00:38:36.559
I mean, it's yeah, you just like I I don't I don't know, I don't understand.
00:38:36.719 --> 00:38:37.920
Like, you I don't know.
00:38:38.159 --> 00:38:42.159
Because we have clearly, you know, there's clear examples of this over and over and over again.
00:38:42.239 --> 00:38:46.159
I mean, I think one of the teams that was in like the top 100 last year didn't like make a transfer all season.
00:38:46.239 --> 00:38:48.800
I mean, this stuff can happen if it all just falls your way.
00:38:49.199 --> 00:38:50.480
But like, I do.
00:38:50.559 --> 00:38:57.440
I think sometimes he's like he's over there pushing buttons and he's making transfers, but clearly he doesn't have any idea what's going on in the actual schedule or game.
00:38:57.519 --> 00:38:59.599
Or like, what is the I don't know, man.
00:38:59.840 --> 00:39:02.960
Um I don't I just don't, I don't, I don't understand.
00:39:03.119 --> 00:39:05.840
I don't not, you know, I can't say anything.
00:39:06.000 --> 00:39:07.039
I had a terrible year last year.
00:39:07.119 --> 00:39:13.199
I finished at 1.6 million, but I mean, like I have a I have kind of a plan.
00:39:13.280 --> 00:39:22.159
Sometimes it doesn't go well, and I'm I have my own issues with impulsiveness and all sorts of other problems, but I mean, like, just stabilize, dude, for a minute.
00:39:22.480 --> 00:39:23.440
Right, right, right.
00:39:23.760 --> 00:39:25.679
That's the worst, yeah.
00:39:26.480 --> 00:39:28.320
Stable is sexy, we all know it.
00:39:28.480 --> 00:39:32.320
Yeah, I mean, well, right, you and you know, you and some others are are the best examples of this, right?
00:39:32.400 --> 00:39:37.360
I mean, you are like the most, probably the most patient manager in our league, and and and it always serves you well.
00:39:37.519 --> 00:39:41.119
And like, yeah, but uh I don't know.
00:39:41.199 --> 00:39:44.480
You just he he he's like he's like every kind of player at once.
00:39:44.559 --> 00:39:50.079
It's like it's like I don't know, and I just don't know what to do with that.
00:39:50.159 --> 00:39:54.480
Like, I don't you gotta pick some, you know, pick a body and go with it.
00:39:55.679 --> 00:39:56.719
That's right.
00:39:57.760 --> 00:40:03.440
Uh all right, so Brzee's question was are Sully Seagulls for real?
00:40:04.239 --> 00:40:05.599
What do you think, Pete?
00:40:06.079 --> 00:40:06.800
Brighton?
00:40:07.199 --> 00:40:08.239
Champions League?
00:40:08.559 --> 00:40:10.400
League title contenders?
00:40:11.119 --> 00:40:12.719
It's too early in the season.
00:40:12.880 --> 00:40:15.599
I think I think it's too early in the season.
00:40:15.679 --> 00:40:21.519
I I I mean you're looking at the league table right now, it's like it's crazy.
00:40:21.760 --> 00:40:24.400
Hull being that high, like none of it makes any sense.
00:40:24.559 --> 00:40:27.599
I I yeah, I I think Brighton's awesome.
00:40:27.840 --> 00:40:30.960
Like, don't get me wrong, they look they look great.
00:40:31.360 --> 00:40:37.360
But it's it's just I mean Brentford's awesome too.
00:40:37.599 --> 00:40:42.480
I I don't I don't I don't know.
00:40:44.880 --> 00:40:46.800
The table's so interesting right now.
00:40:47.679 --> 00:40:54.960
I I I don't I don't see why Brighton can't stay up there.
00:40:58.079 --> 00:41:03.039
I'm inclined to think that they'll finish sixth or seventh, which is like good.
00:41:03.360 --> 00:41:06.480
I mean, didn't Sunderland start great last season?
00:41:06.960 --> 00:41:16.320
It just ends up being this the season is so long and the top teams have so much talent and depth and money and the schedule gets crazy.
00:41:16.960 --> 00:41:35.440
So kind of the bummer is what a good start buys you is a stress-free second half of the season, but it's very hard for any of the mid-table teams to push up into the top, you know, three, four, or something like that.
00:41:36.719 --> 00:41:44.880
I th I I think first off, I want to I want to credit Sully here because like Sully came in when he started watching and picked Lester as his as his team.
00:41:45.039 --> 00:41:53.119
Now, unfortunately, Lester's now, you know, two leagues down, but but at the time that he came in, they were one of the most fun teams to watch in the league.
00:41:53.199 --> 00:41:58.320
And and you know, he needed another Premier League team to switch over to just to kind of draw his attention, and he picked Brighton.
00:41:58.400 --> 00:42:01.119
And I think Brighton right now are the most fun team to watch in the league.
00:42:01.199 --> 00:42:03.760
They're there that that press against Arsenal was insane.
00:42:03.920 --> 00:42:06.159
It was absolutely insane, and they've done that every match.
00:42:06.239 --> 00:42:12.400
I mean, I I don't know how that I'll I'll come back to them holding up in a second, but I mean, like, I don't know how they sustained it in any single match.
00:42:12.480 --> 00:42:17.119
I mean, they'd never stopped, they were just trying to score on Arsenal the whole time, and I mean they could have had four or five.
00:42:17.199 --> 00:42:18.800
It was, it was, it was crazy.
00:42:18.960 --> 00:42:22.400
I like it's just so damn fun to watch.
00:42:22.480 --> 00:42:23.519
They're the most aggressive team.
00:42:23.599 --> 00:42:24.559
It reminds me of Klopp.
00:42:24.639 --> 00:42:30.639
That's why I think I like it so much because it's just like psychotic and they're all in great shape and they all, you know, and they have the right pieces.
00:42:30.800 --> 00:42:33.119
I would like worry if Gross went down, though.
00:42:33.199 --> 00:42:36.159
I mean, he's so critical to everything that they're doing right now.
00:42:36.320 --> 00:42:39.199
Um, but I mean no, he he plays every minute.
00:42:39.280 --> 00:42:41.440
He's 35 years old and he plays every minute.
00:42:41.679 --> 00:42:42.719
Hasn't missed a minute yet.
00:42:42.800 --> 00:42:43.039
Yeah.
00:42:43.119 --> 00:42:49.039
And now, so I mean, you know, the other thing is they are in Europe, so like that that'll be the question of how much they decide to care about that too.
00:42:49.119 --> 00:42:54.960
But but the other, like, what's nuts is you know, you think about these teams like them and Brentford and the other one Pete mentioned.
00:42:55.039 --> 00:42:56.960
I mean, I'm I'm glad you said that too, Pete, because I agree.
00:42:57.039 --> 00:43:04.000
Brentford looked fantastic, but like they're doing this without Matoma, without Minta, dunks hurt.
00:43:04.239 --> 00:43:14.000
Like, they have they do have players to still come back and potentially help them through whatever the challenges of of playing, you know, get like cup time and and leagues are.
00:43:14.079 --> 00:43:18.880
Like, so I I think they could do this if they just keep everybody kind of healthy.
00:43:18.960 --> 00:43:22.159
Like, they they just right now they and that's this guy Buzkovich.
00:43:22.400 --> 00:43:37.440
I mean, like, they seem to have stabilized their defense, they look really good on both sides of the ball, and like I mean, they dump Baleba, and I don't know this their recruitment along with Brentford and along with Bournemouth is is nuts.
00:43:37.599 --> 00:43:42.719
I mean, they just get like every year it's better and better and better, and they're like a team.
00:43:42.960 --> 00:43:44.079
I mean, they're gonna sell these.
00:43:44.320 --> 00:43:49.679
I mean, this this guy, the the the Castulus, is a like every time I watch him, I'm like, holy shit, who is this guy?
00:43:49.760 --> 00:43:51.360
Like, I I I'm really interested.
00:43:51.519 --> 00:43:53.199
He's talking about an FPL asset.
00:43:53.280 --> 00:43:54.000
I'm I'm that guy.
00:43:54.079 --> 00:43:55.199
I might be picking him up later on.
00:43:55.280 --> 00:43:56.639
I think he's only like five six.
00:43:56.880 --> 00:44:02.559
I got a bad run of fixtures here, but when it comes back around, when it's time to like dump DCL or Barry, that's where I'm going.
00:44:04.480 --> 00:44:05.280
He's fun to watch.
00:44:05.360 --> 00:44:07.280
And I think he's I think he's awfully good.
00:44:07.360 --> 00:44:10.400
So like um it's crazy.
00:44:10.480 --> 00:44:11.679
I I hope they I hope they do.
00:44:11.760 --> 00:44:12.159
I really hope.
00:44:12.239 --> 00:44:21.360
I mean I honestly hope that well although probably if if they make top five and Brent or one of the two does that probably dispaces Liverpool because I still have big concerns about Liverpool.
00:44:21.519 --> 00:44:23.840
But um it's cool.
00:44:23.920 --> 00:44:25.039
This Brighton thing is awesome.
00:44:25.119 --> 00:44:47.199
So yeah I I would say yes I'm I'm gonna I'm gonna bet that they finished top seven like you said Chief and maybe top five I wouldn't be shocked if they made the Champions League they're they're great they're so fun to watch and they killed Arsenal this weekend I mean that was not that was not close like I think Arsenal with flat and they were having some trouble you know I don't want to give it but I mean I that that that brighton press just ate them alive.
00:44:47.280 --> 00:44:48.559
It just ate them alive.
00:44:49.199 --> 00:45:57.280
It's cool it was very cool to watch do you think it's something that that people will figure out though like uh I know Brighton's always kind of this team that's like they they kind of play they've always played up I don't know how to say that well that's that's kind of what I'm saying like I wonder if like losing somebody like like gross I you know I mean he's been so involved in everything that they've had um that that have been going on and like when you watch him he's the true like box to box you know I mean he's taken that I mean he's taken half of their set pieces like I I think that would be the one piece and he's old like you know like we've said so like I that would be the one that would really worry me if they lost him but I mean they seem very defensively sound like I said Vuskovich looks great um you know they have seem to have no ill effects of losing Van Heck I mean like the the Kuiper's playing wing and maybe just is their wing I you know I like I don't know it's it's they're they're just good um I I mean we'll see but I don't I right now if I was to play in that team I'd be just terrified of trying to handle that press like I don't know how you'd deal with it if they're if they're doing it this well and they don't even again they don't still not even play in their two starting wings.
00:45:57.440 --> 00:46:11.280
It's kind of it's kind of tough I feel like they I feel like all the owners should go to Brighton and just figure out the culture and just be like okay this is what I want back in my place because it seems like every year they're they're better than Bournemouth and Brentford.
00:46:12.400 --> 00:46:18.400
Change a manager change the players like they're just the structure seems to be good and they're always good.
00:46:18.559 --> 00:46:19.440
Yeah it's it's cool.
00:46:19.519 --> 00:46:22.480
I mean it's also a pain in the ass because like you don't want to play any of them.
00:46:22.639 --> 00:46:26.320
Nobody none of I mean like you don't want to play those teams they're really good right now.
00:46:30.320 --> 00:48:39.280
We'll talk some zombies yeah so it uh I encourage anyone to to join this you you can set up a zombie league or if there's anything you're experimenting with like I I think half the leagues or half the teams here are uh like AI teams I don't know Pete what's the theme of your team oh I had a good hold on hold on I haven't looked at it since I I set it up unfortunately it's called Zevran's Werewolf Army oh uh it was uh it was it was all it was all teams from London but you couldn't be bald so sorry about that Igor Jesus you got you got you can't play on this team but it's all it's all london teams so it's three from every London team luckily there's enough London teams this year and uh and uh you couldn't be bald because his hair was fantastic very nice I like it I like it I like it uh yeah so I don't know if this I don't know if this is the this is the like graveyard necromancer segment I feel a little bit more like a mad scientist here just experimenting so I wanted to I wanted to see about the the bench boost thing and I'm sure there's way like Moffat you're you're a proper scientist and or an expert at counting things and uh no Sully got birds hold on real quick birds move so fast how do you do that anyway just keep going keep going uh so Sully has Sully's like uh the data collection but uh my background more as an acupuncturist is like very um evidence based and observation heavy but more like qualitative or case studies or whatever so I was like alright I'm gonna just try to make a good bench boost team every week and and I'll just track that and I'll kind of like see what it looks like.
00:48:39.599 --> 00:48:47.039
So every every week I have a new email address and like a new entry but I'm just putting it in the same league so I can look at it all at once.
00:48:47.119 --> 00:49:00.400
And it's sort of interesting to see like alright what look good week one and not like a free hit necessarily but like building a team and yeah wait wait wait quit I I did not realize this was a piece of what you were doing.
00:49:00.480 --> 00:49:22.800
So you have created an a new bench boost team each team I can't speak a new bench boost team each week and put it into this league and you're tracking those those bench scores through I'm just I haven't I'm not I haven't made a chart or writing down any data it's just anecdotally I'm looking at you just created a new team each week and you're bench boosting with that team.
00:49:23.039 --> 00:49:23.679
Yeah.
00:49:24.000 --> 00:49:27.119
Oh interesting okay I didn't realize this was a piece of what you were doing here.
00:49:27.199 --> 00:49:55.119
Okay all right sorry to interrupt that was the project I wanted to do and I was like I can't I'm not gonna flood some league with all of these I should just make my own league but I was like hey I'm doing an experiment in this lab zombies welcome to this graveyard so if anybody is like wants to just try something out you want to do your own Anton wait wait wait are you gonna have 38 email addresses by the end of the season that have independent well I'm wondering so that's it that's a question.
00:49:55.440 --> 00:49:58.639
They have an email generator that you can yeah.
00:49:58.960 --> 00:50:31.760
I think it's smarter to do 19 and then the question is in week 20 I think double it up I see yeah yeah yeah yeah okay or or do I more fold it so that game week one team is a proper zombie basically through the whole time and then how like I I might do it like that like what how many transfers would I have to make or maybe that's even the 1920 team can I make a team that would look good for like two bench boosts in a row.
00:50:32.079 --> 00:51:04.960
I'm just thinking about data collection here because if you if you had 19 teams right and then you repeated this now I don't know what you would actually gain from this this is a matter of asking the right scientific questions but if if you had 19 email addresses you had 19 teams you decide to play the the the bench boost for each of the individual weeks starting from one to nineteen and then 19 to 38 or 20 to 38 you would have two data points showing from the same team the bench boost at that time period.
00:51:05.039 --> 00:51:48.639
You know what I mean now granted you still need you need to do that you need to do this for five to ten years to have anything done to know anything probably this is actually where we need Brazilian Sully because they would they would they would know how to attack this but I think I think what you should do is you should set up the team say week one you know week one bench boost team right week two bench boost team but week three and then the second week though go in what use your wild card switch it to something silly so it doesn't just track points the whole time or or do you want to see what your bench boost is going to do through time without having to change it.
00:51:48.800 --> 00:52:48.400
Because if you use your wild card the second week the week after you set it up then you could cancel it so that there's zero points coming in and then just wait till the next no part of what part of what's interesting to look at is like Apocrypha oh if you worry about this bench boost it's gonna ruin your team um or is it so I'm trying to look back and like oh this team that had a good bench boost for week one has it like totally gone to crap or this was a good team in in week one and it's still holding up okay okay that that that makes more sense a bit because the more I was thinking about it I was like wait a minute every individual one of these weeks without like it's just too much you're not getting anything more in a snapshot in time and like there's the the the combination of that and variants in the game like I don't see how you would gain anything knowledge wise from just playing it every week and actually trying to analyze the process.
00:52:48.480 --> 00:52:54.800
You know what I mean like I don't Brazier or or Sally might have a different take on that but I I think they would lean the same way.
00:52:54.960 --> 00:53:01.599
So but now I now I get what you're what you're talking about though because that second piece of what you just said makes more sense to me and what you're trying to garner from it.
00:53:01.840 --> 00:53:18.719
It's yeah it's more of a like I don't know in acupuncture we would call it like a case study where you just follow one patient or or something I don't know if or or qualitative where we're gonna sort of look at where how much can we gain from studying this one specific thing.
00:53:18.960 --> 00:53:30.239
So then like each week as the scores go in because I want to the other reason I'll encourage people to come in is anybody who has a high score for the week I'll try to shout them out in the d in the Discord.
00:53:30.480 --> 00:53:39.440
I'm like the the totals don't really matter because so many have have joined late or people aren't paying attention so it's just sort of like which weeks can you spike?
00:53:40.159 --> 00:54:09.039
So it's interesting to go back in and when it's like oh game week three and four were both had a good score and those were like Man City weeks and Semenya went off and then randomly is like oh why was game week two good oh Newcastle had good fixtures at that time and then which are the teams that tank is like oh Coventry players were a good deal but that was like a bad that was a bad choice the whole time I have I think I have one other question on this though.
00:54:09.280 --> 00:54:16.079
So each time you're drafting a new team right what is your thinking behind that team?
00:54:16.159 --> 00:54:33.039
Is it solely to get like are you trying to get is this almost like Anton where you're simply trying to get the best overall score you can get for a week because I think if you're drafting a new team each time then and you know what I mean like there's too much biasing of other things to build towards just the bench boost.
00:54:33.119 --> 00:54:33.519
You know what I mean?
00:54:33.599 --> 00:54:36.880
Like I'm so I'm just trying to figure out like what your thought process is here for each one.
00:54:37.119 --> 00:54:43.039
Uh it's very subjective it is going for a good um bench boost.
00:54:43.280 --> 00:55:01.440
There's a difference between the bench boost and Anton because you want to have 15 guys like with Anton I really min-maxed this is a more like Yeah yeah yeah I see what you mean what are 15 good playing I need I need a high floor I can't risk getting a zero on a bench boost.
00:55:01.679 --> 00:55:14.320
So it's it's not scientific I guess what I right so what what you can gain from this then is you can go back and look at the individual teams see which ones are holding up best over time and then also individually in any given week.
00:55:14.400 --> 00:55:15.920
I I I got like okay that makes sense.
00:55:16.000 --> 00:55:17.679
That's that's cool that's interesting.
00:55:18.960 --> 00:55:46.159
Yeah it's a lot of tracking but it's also fun I mean you can yeah it's worth that checking out I'll get a team in there this week I got to figure out what I want to do with it though I'll I'll uh I'll I'll get something in there um yeah it encouraged that for any listeners or anyone on the Discord you have kind of a crazy idea or you want to try a theme or I'm doing all like under five percent owned or whatever like put them in there and I'm happy I'm gonna I'm looking anyway so if I see a high game week score I'll shout you out.
00:55:46.400 --> 00:55:49.440
Do you okay so and one one further question.
00:55:49.599 --> 00:55:51.199
Is this for Lali Gary only?
00:55:51.280 --> 00:55:54.639
Because I actually know a few other people that might be interested in in testing this out.
00:55:54.719 --> 00:55:56.320
So you might see some other names appear if you're good.
00:55:56.719 --> 00:56:04.159
Love that okay cool cool i i I like this idea it's like an experimental do whatever you want this is the this is the mad scientist lab.
00:56:04.639 --> 00:57:24.559
Cool yeah that's good to I love the werewolves eleven that's awesome that's really funny yeah and and uh credit to Pete then the league name goes to Pete what is the league name what is the league name uh 38 weeks later oh nice yes yes very nice very nice zombie rest well done very well done uh what's where are we at we'll get at we're I guess can we do there's a oh go ahead finish up I use I use the email oh well this isn't really finishing up but real quick I use the email generator so I don't know how to get back into my team so I gotta figure that one out because I'm not sure what the email associated with the team is so wait what is what is the I don't understand this email generator thing like what you can go to you can go to the thing and it basically it sets up it it gives you an email and it it lasts for like a minute and a half and you could go use it for whatever you want and then the email just disappears really yeah and so you can use it to do other things there's email generators that you know people I don't know wow so okay interesting so so I used I use that and now I don't know what my email is so because that but the other the benefit of it is you don't have to go through the whole like putting your name and your address and all this whatever you have to do to get an email address.
00:57:24.639 --> 00:57:54.800
So that's actually good to know and when I start getting into you know what do my weird dark webery I don't even know how to I don't know how to do any of that uh I still don't know what that is I wonder if the FPL website is going to wonder like well there's a lot of guys in this name in this league uh or a lot of owners in this league where their first name is game week that's weird well I'm glad you I'm glad you set this up Chief I'm sorry that I haven't jumped in yet but I'll I'll I will I'll come up with some kind of fun experiment to play around with that's a good idea.
00:57:55.039 --> 00:58:00.000
Hey I'm being weird on my own so if anybody wants to come along for the ride I love company.
00:58:00.480 --> 00:58:31.599
Nice nice all right well this is good thanks for doing this midday gentlemen yeah I got I gotta go uh deal with a house appointment nice dude that's gonna be so much fun it's gonna be great I'm I'm I'm super excited uh we can do one maybe one more of these before things kick back into gear uh yeah I'm going camping this weekend and then uh Monday Tuesday next week we'll work we can talk about this off a lot we don't have to do anything all right stop stop record you're gonna stop record bye bye
