[Music] [Music] good day folks welcome to another offthe  cuff ramble chat conversation and today I've got the wonderful Ellie with me  and we are going to be talking about our current game week which has been  an absolute cluster [ __ ] so far um and we're also going to be talking about some  knee-jerk reactions and what we're thinking about doing in the next game week as well so  hey Ellie lovely to have you today how are you hey thanks so much for having me on I'm super  excited to be here an
d I can't say that FPL is going too well for me this season so I'm excited  to get your advice and all of our listeners advice about what I should do with my team oh my gosh  I don't think you want my advice right now I am like not doing very well at the moment um but  also I just want to say um really sorry about the absolute [ __ ] up with the timing as well  that was my fault I occasionally forget that you're you're not basic in the UK you're based in  Madrid no problem at all that's why I do
uble check because I know like the timing is super difficult  and with Madrid and the UK and Australia and the time zone change everything is just like a mess so  no worries at all well it's so it's so frustrating because I caught up with um black holf last week  and we had a great chat and I think their clocks changed on the weekend and and obviously the  the UK's clocks changed you know last week our change over here in Australia about um 2 weeks  ago and so with that like during that sort of
2 to 3 we period it's absolutely nuts with how  like crazy everything you know sort of becomes as well like with the the time zone changes and  all of that and then you know trust me to go and sort of try and get some International sort of  guests coming on coming on the show as well so um look I'm so glad that you were able to make it  and especially when I hit you up and said hey um so um can you do a little bit earlier thank you so  much no problem at all thanks for accommodating oh no all go
od all good um so tell me how you're  going in general and yeah so how's how's life in Madrid and you know so I think for all of the  people that are listening so obviously we've got people that are listening on Spaces right now  um and we've got people on YouTube as well so thank you for being here everyone farad I could  see you there amazing to see you Brian um yeah love to see you guys and Fran yeah thank you so  much Mohan thank you so much for being here as well like you guys are like supe
r consistent you  know turning up each week um so Ellie I've got a couple of pictures of you um from yeah from  like your days of doing some broadcasting work and stuff so tell us yeah tell us a bit about that  and you know how you went from being in the states to being in Madrid as well uh okay I answer the  states question first because it's a little bit easier um I met my now husband uh while we were  both working in New York City and he's Spanish so a couple of years in we decided like okay
let's  move to Spain let's see um which country we prefer to like live in and this way I can learn Spanish  because that was super important to us too um so we've been here for the past five years which  is really crazy W and it's yeah I know I can't believe that it's been 5 years because with  coid and everything it feels like way less time yeah um so that's basically how I ended up  in Madrid and in terms of the broadcasting work I'm just getting like so nostalgic seeing this  because it was b
ack in March it just feels like forever ago and I'm really glad that I got to  meet aspie um before he left obviously he's at Atletico now so he's right down the road from  me literally like their training center is in my town in Madrid no way it is but I have no  way of accessing it I don't have any way of getting it unfortunately um but yeah I started  just on Twitter a couple of years ago um and met some really lovely people who kind of gave me  opportunities on the Premier League show um and
my name started getting passed around uh around cha  as like a Chelsea fan who does broadcasting work so I was a regular on Chelsea's Match Day Live  the past season or two unfortunately the thanks um unfortunately the show is ain't going on uh  anymore but that's basically how I was able to do the picture you see there so I was doing some uh  work with them which was really cool um and yeah I'm hopeful to get back to Stanford Bridge maybe  some sometime uh next year hopefully especially if Che
lsea start picking up but let's see and I'll  be going to the Real Madrid versus Chelsea women match that's happening here in Madrid in a couple  of weeks so I'm super excited for that I got the SE like right on the corner flag like touching  the ground that is awesome they're like the best seeds wow yeah yeah and I'm I'm really hoping  that Chelsea score a goal like from that corner as long as as long as women Chelsea are scoring  goals right like that's that's the main thing as long as someone
's scoring girls there totally oh  that's so good oh that sounds amazing I hope that we can Co inside our trips you know for when I'm  in the UK next year as well so I'm planning to be there hopefully um I don't know may maybe like  I've got a wedding to go to and so yeah maybe who knows who knows we'll I'll I'll let you know when  I'm when I'm going to be in town and maybe we can work something out but before I sort of we before  we touch on our game weeks and stuff because that is like a downw
ard spiral of like chaos right  I'd love for you to tell us a little bit about what your extracurricular activities as well like  some of the things that you do because obviously in the time that I've known you which is I don't  know it's been a good sort of year year and a bit also I think we we started sort of you know  we met on um you know FPL Nims show as well The Late Night show which was a lot of fun oh my God  the shits and giggles you know during that time as well um for those that um d
on't know yeah Ellie  and I met on um on Nims show which was The Late Show which is so bloody hilarious because it was  early morning for me but obviously it was late it was like super late for you because of the time  zones obviously and it was like moderately okay in in the UK um but um yeah so it's been it's  been about a year year and a bit or so but um in that that time you've sent me so many videos and  like just photos of you doing like just climbing and it's just amazing oh my God I than
k you um  yeah so I got into raw climbing in March of 2021 uh my husband got me into it and I just got like  super obsessed with it it's like one of my main personality traits now apart from Chelsea and my  dog um and yeah so this video is from this past weekend I was climbing for 5 hours in the climbing  gym like it was a little bit crazy um but it was this one I'm super proud of because it was a dyo  so the holds that you start with are actually like pretty bad you can't really tell from the v
ideo  but they're like pretty bad holds and then you have to jump up and then catch the the second  folds um and it's not typically my strong suit so I was really happy that I was able to get  that done and I just like love climbing I think it's such a fun um physical activity but also  mentally it's super challenging as well and trying to figure out how you're going to do something  because everybody's body is different so what works for me might not work but for somebody else  and trying to li
ke figure it out as kind of like a puzzle um so I love climbing love reading as well  I've read a ton of books this year um and playing with my dog yeah oh my gosh so cute so cute I love  like all the uh the random voice notes and things around um just going for a walk this is what's  going on um yeah honestly just going for a walk and then you hear me like my dog's like Arie no no  so guys like switching to Spanish so good um but um yeah how cool and you know what I think when  you suggested it
to me as well I had um broken my toe like shortly before I think when you know you  sent me a couple of videos and and I was like yeah I should really go and check out where my local  one is and see if I can give it a go as well but i' broken my toe and I was like I don't know if  I'm going to be able to do this with a broken toe so yeah it's it's properly healed now it's been  it's been a while so I reckon I'm going to be able to give it a go during the uh the Christmas  holidays or you know t
ry and just try it out um I'm probably not going to be anywhere near as good  as that not anytime soon anyway but good on you that's so awesome um thank you so much so the game  week I think it's probably a good time to jump on what the hell's been going on with this game week  um before you know I've got your team as well but before we jump into team I was going to just show  everyone um so sorry for everyone that's listening on Spaces there's just I mean you've seen this on  on Twitter already
um basically it's everyone's transfers and benches and just the cluster [ __ ]  of this game week it's you know I think um Mohan messaged in the chat saying you know gameweek 11  stranger things it is literally stranger things it's just so bizarre but um so Adam from above um  average FPL he had taken out doku and brought in foden which is good because I mean like foden got  some returns there but we know how bad Liverpool like in in terms of returns how bad that was for  Liverpool but that's i
nsane that is insane like just how bad this game week has been in terms of  points um yeah any sort of initial thoughts you know just on you know I think this was um this  was this was hilarious as well like so you know on um for those that are listening um some of the  benches right like this was a great week to bench boost because there's like five points nine points  12 points from cabore it's insane like how bad this game week has been I mean this person Optimus  Prime um trippier's nine poi
nts benched Archer's nine points benched cabore is nine points bench  what the [ __ ] I didn't think that I saw any benches worse than mine because I have 18 points  on my bench I have lels and Archer um and to be fair like I was always going to bench Archer  like I was never going to play him above any of my players and I was like a bit hesitant about  going for a double Newcastle defense because I did play trip here um but it's just like what is going  on like the and I feel like this has just
been a recurring theme for me this season and maybe for  a lot of people listening as well like I look at my team and I feel like it looks so strong and I  have good players but they're not returning and then the most unexpected players are the ones  who are returning so it's really been a tough season for me so far oh I think you know what it's  been really bizarre all around um you know I love this one from um Andrew um FPL Point Break it's  literally the epitome of what has been going on thi
s game week like I I woke up on um on Sunday  and I had points in my team and I got so excited I think I posted about it as well saying yay I  got points in my team you know I had like Bowen and um I had Moma and a couple of other players  who returned as well and and I was so like happy to see that cuz I've had a pretty [ __ ] couple of  game weeks as well um but this time round you know it's yeah it's just been strange like waking up  this morning and then seeing that you know Villa had lost 2
-n to Forest and that you know it was  1-1 for Liverpool and Lon like what the actual [ __ ] I I just couldn't believe it I couldn't  believe it you know I think I woke up really early this morning and I just looked at the score and  put my phone back down and I was like yeah I think I just need to go to bed again like I'm not I'm  not subscribing to this today what on Earth maybe they're still playing is what I thought I know but  that's the thing like these these games that you think surely Vi
lla win and surely Liverpool bag  a couple of goals in that game and no it wasn't anything close in oh I was so upset because I had  sold Louis Diaz like I had him as a differential for weeks and he did nothing and then I sold  him for sah and now Sal's not done anything and he went and got the points I was like oh you've  got make it up like you couldn't make it up and this is what I mean could make it up seriously  it was just one of those and I thought I don't know like I don't know what I wa
s expecting  um from the game we but FPL go this tweet was just basically the the sentiments that everyone's  feeling I think um so FPL goat said truly a game week from hell this game week so harand blanked  Alvarez blanked Wilson blanked sacka blanked no Arsenal clean sheet no City clean sheet burn injen  off Watkins blank drb blank no Villa clean sheet Salah blank oh my God I'm still going it's like  I'm I'm out of breath now Darwin blank simic cast bench no Liverpool clean sheet like just pis
s off  I know and I was I was so upset because I brought in simcast thinking like oh yeah surely like I  thought I was being smart like starting starting Liverpool Defender for like 3.9 mil no no that it  couldn't be oh my God it's so bad so bad anyway we will swiftly move on and I've got your team on  my screen and what I'll do is for everyone that's listening I will post um I'll post your team as  well so yeah tell us tell us about your team so hopefully you can see the screen as well and yeah
  tell us um tell us who you've got in your team and um yeah how it's been yeah how it's been this  week so far I'm really sorry I'm making you do this it's like I'm making you relive the horror of  you know the last couple of days and it's not even over I know and to those of you who are listening  on Twitter space is like my face right now is like that Meme of the kid that's just like with the  neck back in the teeth like um so yeah um where do I even begin I had Ariel in goal um didn't keep 
a clean sheet I'm like a little bit worried about my goalkeeper position but I don't feel that  I have the transfers to focus on goals so he's going to stay in for a couple of more weeks yeah  and then in my defense I had cash who did nothing definitely didn't see Aston Villa losing that game  tripier got me nine points and then simic came on and of course blocked lel's off of my bench that  had nine points um then Saka and Salah did nothing Holland also did nothing um the only thing for  me was
that I was like at least Salah also did nothing because if he like went and bagged and I  captain Holland I would have been even more upset the only Shining Light in my team was Bowen who  scored and I still have Madison and Palmer left to play today Cole Palmer is kind of my rogue  differential pick and was basically how I fit Salah into my team and even though Chelsea have  really difficult fixtures on paper I went for him because I actually feel that Chelsea played  better against teams in t
he top six to 10 like a team that's not going to just sit back and  defend because that's where Chelsea struggle against the teams that we should be beating  because they're just going to sit back and we don't know how to break them down yeah but against  Spurs I do expect them to be a bit more open um or against any of these like teams that are going  to want to attack as well so Co Palmer for me has looked at the heart of anything that Chelsea have  been doing well in terms of the attack yeah
so I'm like praying that he get something for me um  because that would be a massive differential yeah huge huge and you know I've got a like a a really  good um data visual um from fad who's um who's in the chat um and and that's a um that's between  Sterling and Palmer so we'll we'll take a look at that in a m as well um but yeah it's just been  it's been such a bizarre game week honestly like I couldn't I couldn't even explain like and the  thing is most people have also had three at the back
as well so where they then you know have um  maybe archer in you know in first bench they would typically get Arch like they would get the first  bench off right um but in the case of playing three at the back it's so deceiving like you look  at it and you sort of go ah okay I'm getting a twoo celeba or a two in my case you know I had  Gabriel on the bench and I've still got Gabriel by the way I've had Gabriel from like game week one  it's so annoying and he's like the gift that keeps giving as
well like you expect you expect them to  I mean this week I wasn't expecting clean sheet points or anything like that I benched Gabriel  because they were playing Newcastle but um yeah you know like there's so many there's been so much  bench Jam in general as well and you know those that played um four at the back and and didn't  have you know um one of their players playing yeah good good on you you're probably getting lel's  off your bench or you're getting another you know nine pointer from
a you know a Newcastle Defender  because a lot of people have got you know double Newcastle defense as well so yeah so annoying  so annoying but you know I love um I love that you got Madison still I love that you got Madison  because um I don't you know I don't have any Spurs players yeah and I'm actually like I'm  I'm feeling like a bit regretful like I transferred Sun out and now I'm thinking should  I have transfer Sun out like I'm trying to maybe look for a way back for him into my team um
but  I just didn't have the money and I know you have Gordon and that's one of the other players  that I have my eye on and I really want to find a way to fit him into my team and I don't  know ideally I would upgrade palmer but I just don't have the money in the bank right now  um so I would have to downgrade somebody and I don't know I'm really stuck yeah yeah it'll  be good to um yeah we we'll talk through sort of transfer plans and you know what we're  thinking at the moment um but I'll sho
w you my team so um firstly I think 39 points is pretty  awesome you know but when I woke up this morning and saw that I only had an extra five points  from what I went to bed thinking I had right so I got I got the points like the the middle  sort of crew um that I've got like in my team so bow and matoma and Gorden and so you know  when I saw these points come through and and you know Tripp's points as well I was like oh  fantastic I've got points in the team and you know yeah should be okay I
've still got you know  Salah to go but that City match right I could not believe what the [ __ ] was going on like  that was insane 61 and not a single return from Harland it reminded me of when I think it was  last season when Liverpool beat Bournemouth I think it was like 9 nil or something and Salah  didn't get a single goal or assist it was like same Vibes and I know Holland did get taken off at  halime but still at halim they were three nil up I think um and not a single go or assist I was
  like you've got to be joking me like seriously I'm thinking about whacking this guy out of my  team I'm so over it yeah yeah well my immediate reaction you know I I didn't get to watch um most  of the match because like the matches are on like stupid o'clock over here um but most of my um  like when I sort of caught up on the highlights I just couldn't believe what I was seeing and then  harand coming off you know obviously um at halim as well I was just like you just couldn't you just  could
not make this up it was just reminded me of like the you know the havit you know situation  from I think it was last season or the season before that or something like that was it 7-0  or something like that and then there was the you know the Bournemouth and Liverpool fixture as  well I was like you just can't make this up and there were people that had triple Captain Harland  as well can you believe that like triple Captain harand this game week ah I don't know it was the  game week for it lik
e on paper it made a lot of sense like it did make a lot L of sense you're  thinking Bournemouth is coming off of a massive Hull I tend to wait until double game weeks for  my triple Captain but I could see like where the thinking was was just super unfortunate yeah no  it's it's absolutely insane um so we've got a few more people um in the chat on YouTube as well  great to see you all Marcus lovely to have you um akman Shamil you know great to see you Malik Fran  um yena great to see you I caug
ht your caught your video the solo one that you did as well bloody  hilarious honestly there was moments where I was like I wish I was watching this live cuz I want  to comment on pretty much half of what you were saying and then I was like no I need to kind of  consolidate this into a a comment at the end but um yeah like seriously what a cluster [ __ ] of  a game week um great to have you here all of you and same with spaces as well so those of you  that are joining for the first time um I the
se are very much off the- unprepared conversations I  do some of them solo some of them with guests as well I've got Ellie you know with us today um  and I I grabbed the um the feed from you know spaces and put it onto YouTube as well and more  recently been streaming that live on YouTube as well um it is very light-hearted it's not going  to go into super stats or anything like that but it's a lot of fun and I enjoy as a sort of video  blog of like how my game weeks are going and how my seasons
going and it's pretty [ __ ] at the  moment but it's really nice to capture it and it's really nice to share it with everyone and get  your reactions and everything as well so um your reactions on Spaces are very very much welcome um  because they'll be captured on YouTube as well so thank you again for being here and please like  subscribe and and also share as well you know it's much much appreciated if this is the type of  content that you enjoy um so in general the rest of my team did [ __ 
] I've obviously got Archer  on on the bench there but there was no way I was going to get Archer points um it was just not  going to happen I think like with simic cast like coming on and getting that one pointer it was like  yeah that's yeah it's just not happening cash zero points like so again you know when when you like  someone like me who in this region anyway when you wake up in the morning if you've not caught  the games all you see is a score line right and then you just or you see you
r points or lack of  points and you sort of go did they not play are they really injured or what happened did they like  what happened and you you speculate for the first couple of seconds right then you open up like  whatever football app that you're using and you try and work out what the [ __ ] happened and then  you see all the atrocities of kind of like the the game weekend scrolling through in my bed and and  like I said this morning I was just like 1 one Liverpool Luton what the hell and
then I think I  saw like the shots that Liverpool had taken they' taken 24 Shots at goal 24 Shots that's mad like  how is it possible you know and I think that I'm not a Darwin owner so I was worried about Darwin  like hauling in this game week as well um and I saw that he had a lot of shots um he took had  taken a lot of shots and his underlying stats are looking good he had nine shots at goal and  I think there was like three big chances missed that's huge that's that's a lot yeah yeah um I  I
'm grateful as a non Dar owner but oh well see I was I was thinking about bringing in Darwin  and now I'm like it's all the recency biased right like you see how your team is going and and  then immediately you're thinking oh maybe not you know or the the the players that you think about  sort of bringing in and you're like oh yeah maybe not I'm not too sure about this anymore um but  look the rest of the team you know like sack's two points salah's two points I have to admit like  after harand
blanked I was really happy that Salah didn't do anything either because um I obviously  I wanted Liverpool to win you know for me Club comes first and I think it's the same for you as  well being a you know huge Chelsea supporter and um so I really wanted you know Liverpool to win  but ideally it wouldn't have been Salah that was um hauling because obviously there was a lot of  Salah captains as well so and there's me thinking going into this game week the captaincy swings  are going to be huge
but yeah anyway I wonder how many people captained any Spurs players  anyone like did anyone Captain a Spurs player um give me a thumbs up or something on Spaces or  on you know just put it in the chat or something if anyone Captain a Spurs player cuz yeah there's  hope for you and I'm absolutely [ __ ] it because I don't have any Spurs players in my team I took  out I took out Madison to bring in sacka and yeah sacka did nothing so yeah yeah You' got both  Aral do have good fixtures coming up t
hough I have yeah I have Madison and SAA yeah I do have  both on paper it's a good team yeah but I I saw somebody oh sorry I could you off no um I saw  somebody on Twitter say maybe we should just go like trip your captain and I was like honestly not  a bad shout like I'm considering it after the mess that happened this week with Captain C yeah yeah  um there's someone in the chat I just saw that had triple Captain Harland um so shashant you yeah  your triple Captain Harland prediction for today
how it's gone this game week Chelsea winning one  nil Reese James Winner oh my gosh all right let's let's um let's have a chat about yeah let's have  a chat about Chelsea and um yeah your thoughts on that you know um so basically I've got on the  screen screen at the moment just a you know a nice visual of some of the attack um that Chelsea have  so you know obviously you did a really good stream with um Sam from FPL family um I really enjoyed  that today it was nice to kind of hear a bit more
detail around what you think and how you know how  you think the game week's going well the the match is going to go and then Sam obviously is a is is a  Tottenham supporter so yeah really good to kind of you know get the insights there but um what I've  got on the screen and I'll I'll Host this um on um on uh spaces as well I've got Chelsea's attackers  and you know well at the moment obviously Sterling's looking pretty good um you know from  a a stats point of view and obviously these are only
up until you know ahead of gameweek 11 so  it doesn't include it won't include tomorrow's match of course um so a lot could change between  you know now and then and you know post uh post uh uh Spurs match as well so yeah tell us tell  us what you think about the attack you know at the moment cuz you've got Palmer in the team  yeah I do have Palmer in my team it was mostly as an enabler for Cella but the reason that I  did bring him in was because I feel that he's at the heart of Chelsea's atta
ck when Chelsea are  playing well he's also on penalties for Chelsea which we've seen which I think is massive when  I brought him in he was at 4.9 uh million yeah and he is starting every game so um this uh image  here like it shows that maybe his average minuts are 53 because he wasn't starting um the first  couple of games of the Season since he was our last uh transfer that we brought in yeah but uh  I think he's one of the first names on the team Sheet now um he's played across the attack i
n the  10 on the right wing he's gone to the left as well um and in every position he's just looked really  really strong the link of play is good us your AIO oh can you hear me wait hello can you hear me yeah yeah I think um it  just dropped out a little bit hello yeah oh can you hear me now yeah yeah you're there yeah  everything good yeah cool okay I don't know what happened sorry um so the the thing with  chalsea is that we've been creating a lot of chances but we just haven't been putting t
hem  away so if you look at the expected goals for example Chelsea have won almost every game  on expected goals because we're creating so many opportunities but we're just not putting  the ball on the back of the net so that's been Chelsea's real Achilles heel um Raheem Sterling  I think for FPL for me just isn't worth the price because he can be Chelsea's best attacker on his  day then he can also be really inconsistent and a bit frustrating um it just depends on the  day he's having when he's
having one of his on days he's unplayable and he'll dribble past  every player he'll slot the ball home um and then on an off day the attack kind of just  dies down a bit because he'll dribble into players um one thing about Raheem Sterling is  that sometimes he can be having a really poor game but he's still going to get a goal because  he's one of Chelsea's only goal scorers at the moment um but for FP I just don't think it's  worth the risk um so yeah that's Chelsea's attack yeah and what's
your thoughts on um like  what's going on with and and cucko like at the moment yeah so he had a really bad injury I think  it was ACL but I'm not sure uh he needed surgery um so he had a fantastic pre-season and he was  linking up really well with Nico Jackson as well in preseason he was just looking phenomenal and  I think part part of the reason why Chelsea had a slow start to the season is because he got injured  in the last game of preseason the week before the Premier League was meant to s
tart and we kind of  had to scramble to figure out a new way to go so good so yeah we looked phenomenal in preseason  um so my understanding is that he's I think he's actually started grass training originally  he was meant to be back by like beginning of January maybe that's been brought forward a bit  now but I would still not expect to see him for probably at least a month um oh wow okay I'm going  to monitor yeah that's just a that's just a guess because I think he is starting uh training wi
th  the team again yeah but I think the team will the um medical staff and coaching staff will  hopefully are on the side of colge because the last thing you want to do is reenter the player  um when're just coming back yeah definitely and you guys have had so many injuries right there's  just been backto back something or another going on um so do you reckon like re James is going to  play like I'm going to just um um change the the graphic there to Defenders and for those that are  listening o
n Spaces I just posted up um couple of the the visuals there on um Chelsea's attack  and defense that um uh fad has um put together so please go and yeah follow for he's doing some  really good you know um visuals and and data and yeah love it it's really really nicely done um  should we be thinking about Defenders obviously like Reese James I mean we started off the the  season very much thinking yeah we're going to need chilwell and James right and and it's been  like that for the last couple
of you know couple of Seasons as well just with how attacking  they are but yeah what are your thoughts like because obviously Chelsea's fix you know I'll  put up like the fixture run soon as well as we sort of think about our upcoming transfers but  Chelsea's fixture run does change in the next sort of five game weeks anyway um but yeah what  are your thoughts on the defense yeah so um I do think that we're seeing more or less the same  Defenders being picked Levi coell um is a pretty good shou
t if you want a cheap Defender who um  has the possibility of getting assists because he does play some really nice long balls but I  don't see Chelsea keeping clean sheets in the Run of fixtures that we have so if you're looking to  bring in a Chelsea Defender I would wait until the fixtures turn I think it's like middle of December  we have some like really really nasty game weeks coming up yeah and with Reese James and Ben two  will it's just so unfortunate I honestly think the last time they
've been fit together for like a  decent run of games was when we won the Champions League in 2021 yeah people don't realize but it's  been if not one is out injured the other one's out injured and it's so frustrating because for me  they're two of our best players when they're on the pitch especially what they bring to the attack  but they're also really strong Defenders um and so to not have both of them is just a massive massive  loss for Chelsea if I had to predict I think ver Spurs Reese Ja
mes does start he did start vers  Blackburn um in the carobell cup um I don't think Chelsea going to want to risk it kg has done okay  at right back um for Chelsea filling in but it's just nothing to what R Jame Springs so I think for  this big match he's going to want to play I think he will play but maybe he'll be brought off around  the 60-minute mark yeah that's fair that's fair um and I wonder like you know I think um at the  moment obviously there's so many good defending like defense opti
ons that are so much cheaper  um so yeah I think it'll be really good to see like some of the other players you know some of  the other options from Chelsea but also you know obviously chell's like 5.4 mil at the moment um  I don't have um I don't have James on here at the moment obviously because there's not much um  not much data to work with there but um yeah do do you remember what he's like priced at at the  moment like will he be what five um 5.5 I have it he was at 5.5 but I'm pretty sure
he's gone down  but I actually have the app he's at 5.3 right now oh okay oh wow okay yeah so yeah something to keep  an eye on there it feels like anyway um so from a planning point of view I did have a bit of a like  I think while we're on the subject of um uh you know ster um Chelsea and it'll be good to have a a  quick sort of look at Sterling and Palmer as well um so you've got Palmer um obviously both of them  are not sort of they're priced pretty reasonably as well so I think Sterling yo
u know I was quite  surprised to see he was only 6 points something um I think what 6.3 was he Oh I thought he was more  why did I think I thought he was like eight like no no actually 6.9 his price is 6.9 right now  what yeah yeah oh my God why did I think he was like eight I don't know like well I I think he was  like he was really expensive last season right and that's probably the reason why like it's still it  seems like it's a you know it's a lot more um but 6.9 is I mean that's not that b
ad we're talking  about like bow and territory of of like price and you know anyone that's got like Ward prow in  their team and trying to get rid of Ward prow in the team or eventually when we jump off of villa  players as well like we we might want to lose drb um so jumping onto Sterling is obviously a really  good option um he's he's obviously like higher on the on the points tally at the moment um but you  know you've got Palmer in the team and Palmer has been phenomenal you know so far in t
he the  minutes that he's been playing um and obviously he's on he's on penalties as well so is that like  a done is that a done deal do do you think or do you think it would like move around because it  was so interesting to see Sterling like Palmer got the like he picked up the ball in the last  penalty right and then Sterling was like no I want to take the penalty cuz he won the penalty  but it was interesting to see like Palmer was like nah you know I'm going to I'm going to take  the penalt
y and then you know there was Enzo and a couple of other Chelsea players who were like n  n you know let him take it um yeah what's what's going on there I from I don't just I can only  give the perspective of like the outside fan but it seems to me like Cole Palmer is 100% on  penalties and I think it's super freaking cool that um Enzo Fernandez steps up and you know he's  one of the leaders at Chelsea even though he's not the captain or the Vice Captain and to go to a  senior player like Sterl
ing who won the penalty and say like no Palmer's our designated penalty  taker he's going to take it uh and the fact that Palmer stood up for himself as well Rahe Sterling  doesn't have the best record with penalties either so I'm personally glad that Palmer's taking  the penalty but I think after that um I would be shocked to see if anybody other than Palmer  is taking penalties unless he's of course not on the pitch and I believe pot also reinforced  the message like yeah we have designated pe
nalty takers in the team so that's like what we should  be following um so yeah I think I think Cole Palmer's going to be on penalties I saw that he  was also on Corner cakes for a bit and then he's kind of alternating with Connor Gallagher on  Corners so he could potentially be on Corners maybe a set piece here in there as well yeah  nice no it's really good to see and you know I thought about bringing in Palmer into my team  but I ended up going Gordon and I think you know I would probably jum
p off of Gordon um or any  other you know any other player later on like when you know the the fixtures do turn but also  I'm thinking you don't have to wait until the fixtures turn as well I think you know Palmer's  already in many teams right now I don't know what his you know um EO is um at the moment or how many  teams he's been selected by especially in the in the top sort of you know not that it matters for  us like I'm I'm sitting at like just under just I think I'm just under two mil at
the moment in rank  it's just ridiculous I'm not looking at it trying to ignore it I'm at like 4 million 10 oh no it's  terrible I don't know where I'm going to be I'm you know sorry I'm still sort of suffering with  a bit of a sore throat and drinking whiskey and which is definitely making me Tipsy now um but  um it's helping my throat it's it's definitely help helping my throat um but um yeah like I I  I would definitely jump off of um a Gordon or one of the players and jump onto Palmer um and
  um you know have that like that cheaper sort of mid option because I'm slowly I think I'm slowly  changing the formation of my team as well um so I mean let's let's take a look at the um let's  take a look at the fixtures though so um let's have a look at um I love like Lego man's um you  know Hop On Hop off um but um I think we'll look at look at this one first just to kind of show  you you know where the international break is coming because again I think it's I totally forgot  that there wa
s an international break coming um I do my own sort of planning um as well like when  I sort of look at these fixtures and and so you know we've got um so Chelsea at the the moment  anyway they've got um City coming up um after Tottenham and then after International break  there's Newcastle and then Brighton and then United which look I don't think Brighton and  United are you know tough fixtures at all right like United are playing Pretty [ __ ] you know  sorry United fans um I apologize you sa
y that but they always show up against us like always it  doesn't matter how bad their season is going they we I don't know when's the last time we beat them  honestly like I I can try to look it up because it's been at least to me it feels like it's been  forever and I feel like with United um they I think I saw some stat that they had like three or  four 90th minute winners or something crazy like I feel like they've just gotten like so lucky as  well they've had that Liverpool had a few of th
ose um but um I don't I'm goingon to I'm looking it  up yeah no do it do it I'm just trying to work out like when I would want to I think maybe for  maybe even for that Brighton United fixtures like maybe for gameweek as early as gameweek 145 is  probably when I would be thinking about bringing in at least one Chelsea attack um just because you  know Brighton have been super leaky as well United obviously are pretty leaky and defenses I mean  you know they've got Evans playing at the moment and
um slabhead playing at the moment as well so  yeah it's I think anything is possible there but then from 16 onwards they've got Everton although  Everton have been playing all right at the moment as well so not sure um but they've got Everton  Sheffield after that um and then they've got a blank game week in 18 which is um or is it 18 19  no sorry uh no they don't have a blank game week sorry I take that back um they've just got the  um uh sort of what is it the Champions something qualifiers or
something like that going on there  um or actually they don't they just don't have a fixture there I'm just like misreading this um  entirely but then they've got wolves and Palace and then they've got Luton as well so couple  of good fixture runs coming up there um for them like would you say jump on a little bit early  like would you say as as early as like game week 14 um sorry I was checking the Man United Chelsea which I have up by the way were you  speaking about Palmer um no I was just t
alking about any any of the Chelsea players like would  you jump on any of the Chelsea players a little bit earlier like rather than gameweek 16 when  they have Everton would you jump on maybe as early as bright and fixture you know that's  a really good question and I well I did jump on Palmer so I would say maybe because I think  I like it's just hard because I feel like with Chelsea we do play better against the teams that  are above us and then the games that you think that we should win we'
ve been struggling so it's  a bit counterintuitive so it could make sense to even jump on them a little bit earlier um and I  think somebody like Palmer that's 5 million he can enable you to maybe get in a tripier or Salah um  you mentioned Sterling I thought that he was way more expensive than he is um perhaps going for him  I definitely want to have my eye on Inu when he's back fit and just to give you the so the last  time that Chelsea have beaten man united was in the FA Cup in 2017 2018 and
then in the Premier  League that year as well whoa so it's been yeah it's been a long time oh wait no we beat them in  the FA Cup in 201920 um but in the league it's been five years oh wow okay I I wasn't expecting  that I wasn't expecting that um yeah okay so I see what you mean it could be a curveball kind of  you know um game up always yeah yeah yeah well I don't know I don't know like maybe yeah I don't  know look I I don't obviously I don't have any sort of allegiance to United or to Chels
ea um  however I feel like I've got to know Chelsea a lot more through you as well so um yeah look I I  hope um I hope it's um it's a good time because I'm definitely thinking about jumping on like so  Lego Mano also does this hop on or hop off one um as well and so this is where it's pretty much  highlighted around like the the easier fixtures and you can see that um you know Chelsea's  fixtures up to game week you know gameweek 16 have been sort of muted basically because they're  deemed sligh
tly harder but I don't know I feel like Brighton fixture could be really good and I  feel like the United fixture could be really good as well um and then you know obviously they're  playing Tottenham later and City and Newcastle before before the um the slightly easier fixture  run but you can see there like there's some really good fixtures coming up for them so yeah I'm Keen  you know I'm definitely Keen to kind of drop one of my um you know midfielders to yeah accommodate  a 5 mil Palmer he
might not be 5 mil by then but yeah it would be good to yeah good to accommodate  there hope not yeah well yeah you've already got him so yeah you're hoping for like whatever you  can cash in there H that's been the story of my season like hop on a player that's I think is  going to do well they don't everybody else hops on him and then he like goes and backs but I  don't get any points so like I know I feel like my my radar has been a bit off you know with that  this season as well like I I fee
l like I started off with a not so great season like you the first  couple of game weeks and then it's spiraled since then as well and so you know is there anything  that you're doing at the moment where it just kind of keeps you sane as well or are you just  kind of kind of doing a bit of yellow you know um yolow and and just go with it and see what happens  well the thing is like last season I felt like I only had myself to blame because I was like really  mejor reaction you know like I was I
remember um like seeing something and I was like transferred  like immediately you know and this season I feel that I've approached the game really well and I've  approached it how I would want to and I'm thinking about my transfers I'm thinking about my decisions  I'm trying to plan a few weeks ahead um and it's just not panning out for me for whatever reason  I you know part of it is luck part of it's just I'm not hopping on the players at the right time  but you have my team up there and I th
ink it's a pretty good team like I like my team um but then  the players just aren't AR doing it so and this is the problem like I you know like last game week  I had a really [ __ ] game week where the players I mean on paper I'm looking at my team and I'm  thinking I don't don't know if I should make a transfer so I rolled and so I've got two free  transfers going into my game week and you know again I'm looking at the team and and now I'm  thinking about you know shoving Harland out of the te
am because I don't think it's too late to  do that either like has that sort of crossed your mind have you thought about you know sort of do  do you lose Harland I have um because the thing is I don't know like his ownership is so high  that when when he does well at least the way I understand it because effective ownership I'm  not like super well Versa um but when he does well uh unless you've captain in him you're a  bit screwed because like last week I had him in my team he did well but I ha
d Captain Salah  so then I missed out on that those like double points from Holland and I still got a red arrow  even though I had returns across my team yeah um so at this point it's 14 million and I'm kind  of thinking like he's taking up so much space in my team and maybe I can make up those points if  I were to redistribute it a bit better you know maybe I could bring in I could have a son and I  could have a Darwin and really whoever you wanted um for that price so I'm nervous to go without
  him because I did it last season and it bit me in the butt um but at this point I'm kind of like  I don't know you know if it's worth it anymore but I feel like maybe I'm a bit late to the train  yeah yeah I so I was thinking about that like I think after I saw what had happened you know I  was watching the highlights and I was like I'm so glad that I wasn't watching this match live CU  I think because I was watching you know sort of 25 minute highlights or 45 minutes highlights  um I can't re
member now um but um I don't know if I would have been able to watch the whole match  knowing that my only City player that I've got has been subbed off at halim and it would have been so  bloody frustrating watching that like as well like dku was just like Harland was just not getting the  Supply right like usually he's getting that from greish and you know I was chatting to um um Ryan  um from FPL um or Football chat box who's in the chat as well in on YouTube um about this where  you know whe
re he's not Holland's not getting you know he's not getting fed the balls the way  he would you know typically get that from greish or from foden as well and and this time round  you know foden came on for harand so yeah you know and doku was just like going for the chances  I don't know if that sort of you know the the game plan and and that's what pep sort of intended but  it was so bloody frustrating watching um watching Harland basically not do much like not get any  just no action whatsoeve
r I was just like like what the hell are you doing mate you know please  don't please don't come off at half time is what I was thinking and then yeah that's exactly what  happened when I was watching the highlights I just couldn't believe it yeah there a it's a really  good point that you make that since kdb is out injured and I'm not sure when he's meant to come  back but my understanding was that it was fairly long term um Holland hasn't been getting the same  service and we know that they ha
d a really good link up play so is it worth having him without KDP  playing for city um as well I don't know so I'm I'm like really considering it I think I'm gonna  just roll this game week I don't know let me know in ch I've only got one yeah so let me know guys  what you think I should do miror let me know what you think I should do you don't you don't want  to hear what I'm thinking I'm going to show you I'm going to show you what I was doing um earlier  today so behind me I don't know if yo
u can see um if you can see my um uh let's see if I can find  my oh no can't I don't know like where I tweeted it let me see if I can find it over here ah here  we go um so I have a board behind me I think you can see some of it on the on the um on the feed  as well so I have been planning my next couple of game weeks and the way my mind works is to put  it on a Post-It note and then I'll I'll shove it on like my wall and you can see like there's  a [ __ ] ton of Post-it notes there it's not all
FPL there's some work up there as well um but  the way my mind works is to write it down and then come back to it and usually like after a couple of  matches that I've watched and obviously we're mid game week at the moment um if I'm watching matches  and I've got a gut sort of knej or whatever reaction I will just pop it down on Post-It note  and just shove it on my on my whiteboard and you know the Whiteboard I you know I used to put it  on the wall and now I can move it around between rooms
that's how seriously I'm taking this now um  it's just ridiculous but it helps me because I can then see what is coming up and obviously I've got  like off the cuff um chat with you Ellie um you know which is happening today and then I've got  um PR coming up in a couple of weeks and then you know Andy as well actually I've got press coming  up next week I just realized it's International break after game week 12 um but I you can see  there I'm thinking about transferring Harland out and I've go
t two free transfers out at the moment  so I'd love your advice and anyone in the chat as well like am I crazy for thinking that it's a good  time to jump off of Harland I don't think it's too late I honestly don't think it's too late I think  if we look at the um you know if you look at the fixtures again right like so if we look at um  uh City's um you know fixtures so right up until gameweek 16 you can see like from a Hop On Hop Off  perspective right Bournemouth obviously that was a cluster
[ __ ] of a game we like game for them  like good on doku owners and um commiserations for anyone who transferred out doku like we saw a  bit of that action as well but given that they've got Chelsea Liverpool Tottenham Villa for the  next five yeah Harland can haul anytime like we know that we know that that's a possibility but I  actually think it's not too late as well to jump off of Harland like I think if we leave it another  game week or two then yeah maybe it's too late it's just doesn't
feel you know sensible to do  that but um look I'm I'm really tempted you know I'm really tempted to to jump off and you know  I've got two free transfers so I might take out Harland and I'm thinking about bringing in Wilson  or entia at the moment and depending on how the match goes later on so the match for us over here  in Australia it's like 7 o'clock in the morning so I'll definitely be up for that um watching it  but based on how that match goes and if son halls and Tottenham have got wolv
es coming up next I may  want to bring in son as well so I'm then thinking if I take out Harland and bring in entia or Wilson  I can then take out Gordon maybe I mean I know they've got Bournemouth and Gordon's just hauled  I know um but maybe I could take out um Gordon and bring in son because I you're thinking about it  as well now I know no I'm like that's brilliant oh no you say it's brilliant but it could be stupid  as well that's a that's the thing like I I don't know I was Brave last seas
on and I went without  Holland and then he got like three goals and it just destroyed my rank so I don't know it's really  it's really difficult because you know who would have said that he would have done so well against  man united I didn't think he was going to score I think it was two goals and an assist or something  like that um oh sorry our like buzzer to enter the building is really loud um so I don't know I I  really like that I would definitely wait to see because if son does well toda
y then I'm like I  definitely want to try to get him back into my team and maybe just swap Madison for son but I  would need to find the funds somewhere Holland is a good place to find the funds this is what  I mean this is what I mean yeah oh sorry um the only thing for Wilson is I'm not sure how long  isach is out injured I think I saw that like he's aiming to come back potentially before the  international break maybe after so I'm not sure how long um he but I really like the Newcastle  yeah
yeah I was just going to say like the chat's got some you know responses as well so Marcus is  saying um one of the issues with selling harand I think it's the amount of transfers you'll need  if you you know if need if when you want to bring him back um yeah that's fair and I think you know  that's the that's the risk right like it would be either a hit or or potentially you know having two  transfers again you know to to bring him back and downgrading I don't know maybe Salah when he goes  to
afon maybe that's the waiting too too long um or up downgrading son again don't know or for me  it'd be losing trippier I think you've got Trio as well yeah I've got tripier as well and he's like  the only player on my team that's done anything so I'm like would be really sad if I did lose him  yeah um but it could be a route um yeah yeah um so Ryan from Football chat box is saying the thing  is you can always look to get Harland back if if needed after Villa play Bournemouth in gameweek  14 man
y people can free up funds that way that's a really good point because Villa's fixtures do  turn slightly and so you know that is an option like freeing up some funds there rather than sort  of from you know Midfield or something like that so yeah there's a couple of options there and  obviously having Palmer there as an option as well to downgrade you know someone in in Midfield  um like saaka is not doing that great but then obviously things might change there but I'm not  feeling good about h
aving him at the moment but let's see they've got burnly neck so anything  anything is possible um and Fran Fran is saying if he's fit I think the issue is that all the  other good teams have bad fixtures too yeah that's fair yeah I think the thing um with saaka as  well is that Arsenal do have good exas coming up so I do want to maybe give him like one  more game week but if he doesn't play well I might just downgrade him yeah um because he is  quite expensive in the team and another player I'm
thinking about is Ali Watkins because after  he had his Mega Hall which I like literally had had him in my team sold him he had his Mega haul  I brought him back I was like um he really hasn't been doing so so much for the price points you  can maybe even downgrade vins and bring somebody else in as well yeah I reckon so I reckon there's  a there's a couple of options there um like if I show you my team you know I've got Moma like I'm  I'm happy with that I mean Moma return was a bit of a you k
now um yeah lucky return um as well  uh so and same with Gordon's like you know very questionable goal as well um but um I feel like  I've got a couple of options there I don't feel great about losing tripier but losing trippier  is an option as well um and as Fran said maybe downgrading Watkins and yeah so I I think I'm  willing to take the risk purely because there's some good options there and so yeah look that's  that's what I'm thinking at the moment and the thing is I don't want to use up
two transfers for  gameweek 12 if I can help it because it would be really good going into International game after  International um break going to gameweek 13 with two free transfers as well so yeah that's what  I'm thinking at the moment um not sure I think that's where I'm going to probably hang for the  rest of the week and based on how Chelsea like what would work in my favor to not go like to go  without Spurs players a little bit longer is that Chelsea beat that Chelsea beat you know Spu
rs  basically that's the only thing let's go let's go that's the only thing that is probably going  to not tempt me to go there like if that happens yeah because yeah otherwise I'm like [ __ ] you  know I'm going to have to bring in son because not having any players at the moment um from Spurs  is killing me as well so yeah um it's really hard it's really hard one was there any other sort of  like random transfers that you were thinking that sort of sprung to mind as well anyone like from  your
team that you're like yeah you know what I'd be happy to lose them well now that um Simas  was B I'm like questioning everything about him but I do have L that is a starter up until burn  comes back from injury so I could just always pop with the double Newcastle defense since  Simas is a cheap option maybe not necessarily a fire in my team um but yeah I'm looking at  maybe taking Saka out potentially Madison I don't know um I really like Bowen I want to keep  him in my team and Watkins at Holl
and like I'm honestly considering just taking Holland out and  being done with it yeah I'm I'm sure he'll Bight me in the but yeah look I'm I'm open to it I'm  open to it I think like Dan black wolf last week you know he he mentioned something like he was  saying that look he he's made his bed with that and and decided not to go not to go there and and  there are other players that will you know sort of hopefully return points and and it will sort of  outweigh the loss there as well so I'm I'm w
illing to give it a go you know because I'm currently  sitting just under 2 mil and it's not it's not that great really realistically so I'm willing  to kind of just make some punt picks here and there and just make some radical transfers like  that and just give it a go like what could what could go wrong I mean we know what could go wrong  but I'm willing to take the risk because like how bad can it get right it's a game within a game  totally totally I mean I'm sitting at 4 million so it's li
ke could get worse yes but like how  much worse like realistically I don't know yeah yeah um so Ellie we are hitting like we've hit  sort of just one hour mark and I I know that it's it's workday for you and so you've got to  go soon as well um any sort of final thoughts from you like around transfers knee- jerky kind  of reactions or yeah what actually what are you expecting from the score line you know for um  yeah Spurs versus Chelsea that's it's it's a big game it is a big game I'm H I don't
know  I'm like worried but I feel like Chelsea like there's always hope it's the hope that kills you  like I feel like Chelsea could pull something out of this match um and we saw how well we played  versus Arsenal but then just like crumbled in the last 10 15 minutes or so and so that's kind  of what worries me and Spurs are unbeaten they're the only team that are unbeaten in the league so  far this season so that's a bit um daunting yeah um so as for score prediction I honestly have  no idea
I feel like it could potentially be quite a high-scoring game because both teams  are going to want possession and I don't see either team necessarily conceding and kind of  playing back or playing on the counter I think both men managers are going to want to play their  style football so that could leave a lot of spaces open so I'm Keen to see what happens um I think  we I think we'll be seeing goals in this game I that oh boy yeah look I like I say you know I'm  I'm really excited about the ma
tch just because it is a big match and yeah I yeah I really I like  I say I kind of lowy want to bring in son because I've got son fomo but then at the same time I'm  like I could do with not using both transfers so I think I'm like 90% sure I'm taking out Harland  oh yeah oh my God oh my God now now I'm like do I not roll the transfer should I take out this  is what the conversation would be right it would be yeah Ellie do it because I'm doing it  too I'm just gonna be like five minutes before
the deadline okay I'm just just doing it oh my  God go honestly I'm consider I'm considering it I'm considering it let's see how my game week  finishes but I'm not too hopeful so yena just said I feel like Chelsea are going to step it up  tonight type this as said it's hope that kills you oh dear oh my God we're we're always messaging  uh like in the Chelsea games like reacting to the goals and stuff and if you guys don't know  Yelena uh is Al an FPL content creator and she does like really real
ly awesome content um  so definitely make sure to check her Channel out as well absolutely um her latest video that I  watched this morning was just brilliant it was just hilarious I'm having breakfast and listening  listening to her sort of going through like the the no points where are the points you know just  like insert every every meme that you can possibly imagine like where are the points you know um John  Travolta walking in sort of like looking around um from Pulp Fiction so funny um b
ut um you've also  been doing streams with with yena as well and yeah you know tell us tell us a bit bit about that like  it's been awesome watching those and occasionally I've caught them live like with the time zones and  everything it's always a challenge but yeah yeah so we're like joking that our YouTube channels are  just like slowly merging to become one because we do so much with each other and we love it um so on  my channel every Friday we have a team selection video that we record um
and then we're also going  to be doing Friday live stream q&as on her Channel as well hopefully once OBS decides to cooperate um  and so we have those videos and then does like her knee-jerk reaction video on Sunday night um and  I might start posting one but it's probably just going to be me like cursing my team do it that's  what I'm doing these days you know like with with um you know my offthe C Series um look it's been  it's been really good you know sort of sharing like my journey with eve
ryone like just kind even  even if it's going terribly right and I think last week when I was tracking to Dan I was saying  that I don't know if I would would have done this you know like gone ahead and sort of done  spaces and and doing spaces to YouTube and just having these conversations whether it's like solo  conversations um with the FPL Community um whether it's on YouTube or whether it's on Spaces um you  know with the the Twitter Community there as well I I'm not sure because like last
season I as you  know like I had a really great season and so going into this season having a bit of a [ __ ] storm  I'm probably more inclined to do this because I feel like I'm yeah I don't know like I'm looking  at it as a a huge challenge at the moment and you know I think like we were chatting about this as  well saying look you you know this should motivate you to do better just think about the little  increments I like there's nothing I feel like I I don't know maybe it's like pessimistic
maybe  it's sad but I'm just feeling like there's nothing I can I like if I played the game if I felt that  I was playing the game poorly I was like yes 100% like last season I knew knew that I was being  a bit too reactive so I hored it back and then I saw that my rank started going up but I honestly  have felt so calm with all the decisions that I've made so I think that's maybe the most frustrating  thing because I think that I've been playing well and I'm like I don't know what else to do a
t  this point so it's a bit frustrating but it's just a game at the end of the day I don't take it  too seriously it's just for a bit of fun and it's really nice connecting with people and also having  these therapy sessions and just like seeing that I'm not aone in the pain of FPL and just having a  bit of fun with it yeah no the struggle is real I think like like I said like earlier this morning  when I saw 39 points I was like oh my God that's a [ __ ] game week like what the hell happened  a
nd and then I'm like going through Twitter and I'm going through some of the group chats that  I'm in and realizing that 39 points is like I think Marcus said it in the chat over here  you know 39 points is like having a 100 Point Hall at the moment yep no like totally when you  said that I was like no you can't talk you can't talk oh dear I see people that are like under 10  points I was like what the heck is going on me too and the funny thing is I normally like I'll  tweet out like oh I've on
ly got 39 points what the [ __ ] going on and just kind of you know  have a rant about it on on Twitter but um this time round I was like no no no no no read the  room don't be tweeting that 39 points is good room it is it is so look at your game we  rank it's amazing oh my God I know like that's not even good oh dear anyway um Ellie  it's been an absolute pleasure having a chat with you today thank you so much and I'm  so sorry for the [ __ ] up of the the time zones no no problem it's like I s

Interesting conversation between two intelligent ladies; The mention of Madrid brings me fond memories of my only visit to Madrid in 2004(?) while working with BP Solar. It was a weeklong stay at NH Hotels in Madrid and factory was at Tres Cantos. The bonus of that visit was that BP colleagues took me to watch a Real Madrid match vs Dynamov Kiev. In those days, as soon as the players came on the field, everybody's camera flash lit up the whole stadium. It was surreal. Real Madrid had Zidane, Luis Figo, Roberto Carlos, Casillas, Ronaldo - all big names. I envy Elizabeth with her great skills in rock climbing - a terrific sport to pick up that calls for mental and physical toughness. Bilbao was talked of to be a place worth visiting but couldn't.

Great video once again - really good Chelsea insight from Ellie and i may well be converted to Palmer now! These episodes keep getting better and better and the interaction with Yelena who is also a great person to follow was great - she would be great on this show if you can both make the time work! Great stuff Meera hope you have a much better GW12 :)
