[Music] n [Music] [Music] e [Music] hello everyone welcome back to another
off-the-cuff chat with me FPL MZ um as you may know these are very much one-sided occasionally
with guests um FPL Rambles to have a chat about my season and how it's going and uh those of you
that have been following my journey it's not been going too well for me this season but nonetheless
it's been fantastic to share my journey with you so thank you so much for um turning up today to
have a listen uh just a quick r
eminder if you're listening on Spaces this is going to be a fairly
one-sided conversation so um if you request to be a speaker I'm not going to be able to accept
your request unfortunately because I'm also live streaming this on YouTube um so and for those of
you that are watching on on YouTube great to have you here thank you so much for being there in the
um in the chat um keep the conversation sort of flowing in there um same with on Spaces as well
um feel free to leave a message um yeah
send me any questions or or sort of you know WTF moments
that I'm going to be sharing with you please do express your own um as well as I sort of uh talk
through my um gameweek 23 review um I'm also going to be doing a bit of a uh yeah a bit of a planning
session as well so I'm going to be talking about gameweek 24 a little bit what my thoughts are
around it um and also having a look a little bit beyond gameweek 242 so um we've obviously
got a couple of doubles coming up we've got a blank
coming up as well uh I don't think I'll go
as far as like gameweek 29 or so but at least for the next couple of game weeks I feel like I'm
um living a bit of a a YOLO kind of Life at the moment with my FPL um season so I'm trying really
hard not to um not to plan too far ahead as well um so great to have you um animations Mohan
um FPL boooo great to see you there great to see you on Spaces as well um I do of of course
you know take the spaces um feed and and pull that into to YouTube as wel
l so yeah it's really
great um to kind of see you in both places there fantastic um all right so let's get started I'm
going to try not to swear too much in this uh in this stream um yeah those of you that have joined
before um I do rant and swear but you know what I feel really chill and it's not because I've been
um I don't know look I I I have poured myself a GL I was trying to work out what sort of um alcoholic
Bevy I should try and have today and um I'm poured myself a a nice beer so I
'm going to be enjoying a
beer and having this conversation with you guys so um but I'm feeling really chill about my season
so far it's really funny um great to see you um gov great to see you gvie and Ryan um fantastic
ftic to have you here um as well so yeah like I said I feel really chill about the season I don't
know why that is I'm I've sort of dropped down to um uh back just in the one mil kind of Mark and
that's not great really you know in the grand scheme of things it's not where
I expected to be
so um yeah it it's a weird one but I feel really good about my season in general like I'm really
enjoying this season as well despite the highs and lows and obviously I expressed that on on X with
you guys and and sort of you know the uh um the turmoil that I'm fa like feeling whenever I bench
a player that's um banging lots of points as well so it it is super frustrating but at the same time
I'm really enjoying the experience of playing um FPL with a bit more heart as well
without sort of
overthinking things although I have to admit in the last couple of game weeks with the the the
benching headaches we've had it's been really difficult to make decisions I probably have been
overthinking a little bit um and that's the reason why I called this particular episode wild swings
because there have been so many swings in terms of the uh types of players that we're picking
for lots of different things like players that we just want to have in the team players that w
e
want to Captain players that we want to bench as well and and it's really difficult to make some
of these um these decisions so anyway let me let me show you my um my game week uh 23 so um I had
65 points and you know when you look at it on sort of face value you sort of think oh yeah okay 65
points is actually quite High um given like the previous game weeks and how low the points at a
scoring has been in general um so I was really happy with like the 65 points um when you look at
it as
it is but then there have been managers who have been getting 80 90 I mean there's been so
many sort of 100 plus um points as well and it's a real shame cuz like this this particular game
week I did take a hit I had a bit of an Impulse transfer as well so uh for those that are going to
be listening to this on on Spaces later on as well or even listening to the um the YouTube uh stream
um with audio only um so I had de bravar in go I had thean Pedro porro and uh Trent Alexander
Arnold playi
ng in my back as a back three um I then had Diego jotter Palmer richison and sacka
um I then played Watkins salanki and Harland up front so 343 for me and on my bench I had Turner
um Gabrielle's minus one Taylor's zero points and a whopping 20 points from foden on my first bench
and so yeah let me just talk you through really quickly um hey Quinton great to see you there St
leiser lovely to have you as well um so let me talk you through my transfers so what the original
plan and and this is
where we tend to kind of um I guess like I made a bit of a hasty decision
perhaps it was a bit of an Impulse decision um so it was around the time when um game week the
double game week for Liverpool got announced as well and my immediate reaction went to oh I've
got to get jar in and that's where I kind of got fixated and stuck on a little bit as well so
um yeah it was yeah it was really frustrating because my original plan was cuz I had boen in the
team and so my original plan was to ben
ch boen and then um play foden so I would have played foden
and I probably would have brought in har anyway so that was my uh planned transfer it was the
only one planned transfer uh no hits were you know sort of on the radar at that point and so
all I was thinking was um I will be taking out Alvarez and it's such a shame again like with
Alvarez as well because obviously Alvarez had a really good game week in gameweek 22 and so I
was a little bit hesitant taking out Alvarez but at the same
time yeah sort of thinking well I'm
going to want to bring in Harland and I think a a lot of people were kind of on that same school of
thought as well where they thought yeah you know they they really want to bring in um uh harlander
as well and I think quite naturally Harland was going to come in for Alvarez or you were going to
double up on the city attack in in you know in the front three with perhaps um Alvarez and Harland
and maybe Salan or Watkins as your sort of you know third um op
tion there um but um yeah look I
decided to take out Alvarez I brought in Harland and then we we got the news about the double game
week and I was like [ __ ] I've got to get I've got to get a Liverpool player in and all I had in
my team was Trent and back of my mind I had this funny suspicion that you know Trent was already
benched in gameweek 22 and he might get benched again in gameweek 23 so I was like I've got a bit
of fomo and I know they were playing Arsenal and that's the the funnie
st thing right um I know
they were playing Arsenal and I know that you know that was going to be a tough fixture for them
you know all of the above but Liverpool have been on insane for form and on top of that look don't
get me wrong we all have biases towards our own team as well so I'm a massive Liverpool supporter
so that was bound to happen as well and so back of my mind I was thinking I surely I can't just
have Trent in my team and be and and that be the only Liverpool player that I ha
ve in my team and
that to a bench risk as well just because of his injury as well so yeah a little bit frustrating
from that point of view um so I made the gut call of bringing in jotter and that meant I you
took out um uh took out boen and decided to play jotter because J has had a good run against
Arsenal he has got goals in the past against Arsenal and I know we shouldn't really let sort
of past decisions and past sort of games dictate or sort of you know influenced too much about our
f
uture selections and you know all of that I mean it was in a way fixture as well for Liverpool so
I probably should have you know kind of sussed out that this may not be the best fixture to bring in
jotter um and and playing him ahead of foden but on the flip side of all of that you know there
was also a bit of a narrative going around um around um you know and I say going around um you
know this was on uh Twitter and some other content creators were talking about this as well and and
I thi
nk General consensus was that foden may get benched or there may be some uh there was a bit
of speculation about foden getting less minutes as well so I think from that point of view I was like
oh [ __ ] I've then got foden the team and I'm benching boen and I'm not feeling good about how
West Ham are playing as well I then got serious fomo about um you know Liverpool players and so
I'm then thinking what you know surely I've got to do this right and so I then started noticing
that there we
re a couple of other managers that had also benched um benched foden and they' sort
of you know posted their team a little bit earlier as well on on X and and so I thought yeah why not
you know what if there's any if there's a player that I would be a little bit more comfortable
benching um maybe that will probably it could be foden basically um hey Tien lovely to see you in
the chat um Quinton I think I caught you earlier great to see you as well Tommy big up Rue um great
to have you here
thanks again and yeah keep um I will get to some of your questions once I've sort
of rambled a little bit um and I feel like I need to get this particular part of my rambling off
of my chest and out into the the interwebs and share it with um our amazing community so yeah
bear with me um and uh great to have you there Ashley FPL crisis um in on Spaces as well and so
yeah so I I ended up um putting phen on my bench and playing jotter right up until the last
minute you know I have to admit I
was really really contemplating even benching palmer but I
also had bench Palmer for his 18 points as well so I was like [ __ ] my life I can't be benching
Palmer um especially because they did have a good fixture as well and so yeah I was like I can't
bench Palmer richison has been on insane form in fact I actually captained richison gameweek
22 and um I guess gameweek 23 I was thinking about captaining like he was one of um one of the
players that I had been thinking about captaining as w
ell but at the same time I was thinking he's
going to be playing against his old Club what is the likelihood that he will get a goal or just
blank entirely just because it's yeah it is his Club at the end of the day and uh and I believe
it was a away fixture as well so for Spurs and so yeah look the atmosphere is absolutely insane um
and you know I I just knew that that it's probably going to be a bit of an issue so I was like no
I'm not going to be captaining um richison saaka was just not
on my captaincy kind of you know
like an option at all for me and um and really upfront so I was thinking about Watkins actually
you know let's just kind of have a moment to have a chat about how many different captaincy options
there were right so and these are the only ones that I've got in my team and this is the worst
part of it so even despite bringing in Harland I was slightly hesitant in captaining harand and
so you know but harand aside we had a captaincy option in Palmer Rich char
ison uh Watkins salanki
and was a question in the chat from gav FPL I will answer that question around you know um captaining
salanki in a moment um but despite having harand and team I was not really thinking about harand
you know as a captaincy option I think that was also because I didn't know that there wasn't
that much certainty around whether he was going to start or not as well and so yeah that kind of
put me off a little bit um I have to admit and so yeah so he he dropped off the um
the captaincy
option for me entirely as well um hey Deo lovely to see you um thanks for joining the chat um so
yeah so I ended up on salanki now the reason why I ended up on salanki was look first of all um
I believe that was a home fixture um and salanki had actually picked up a um a hat trick against
um against uh Forest you know in the reverse fixture and I know Forest had gone down to 10
men um and so yeah look the likelihood of a a captaincy u sorry captaincy on salanki with that
in
mind did bias my thinking a little bit there and so I ended up putting the captaincy armband
on on salanki um I was also thinking about like Watkins like so Watkins was an option but I'm
pretty sure Watkins was yeah so they were away but um I captained Watkins against um Sheffield
already and he blanked so again it's really interesting how like past experiences can sort of
you know influence your current sort of you know decisions it's really difficult to avoid that it's
really difficult to
kind of ignore those things as well so you know and we do learn from the past
rights and you have to kind of look back to to sort of learn from your mistakes but also you
know choices or decisions that could have gone in a slightly different way as well um so look
it's a it's a shame that you know we've had so many different options recently and and and that's
where like majority of the swings have been so you know it's been really challenging there've been
like pretty brutal swings um in
my case I feel like I got away with it and and you know you're
probably wondering like what the hell am I saying like what how how have I got away with it well
I only got a um I think it was only 18% also red arrow um but given so you know let's just take a
look at like what I did there so I benched foden um he was around sort of 50% or 47% owned around
my rank and I was previously about 850k or so and I uh captain salanki and um I took out Alvarez
Alvarez obviously you know got some return
s there as well um KD B you know is owned around 60% at
my rank as well so there were a couple of players where I was dreading for them to go off because if
they had you know I was pretty [ __ ] basically um so yeah I'm surprised that it was only 18% I was
really surprised it was only 18% I was expecting a lot worse and I think it was because I had rich
charison in the team and his 15 pointer really made a difference I think it was like almost you
know plus 11 points or 10 points or somethi
ng like that it's just absolutely insane um but um look
I'm don't get me wrong you know despite sort of feeling slightly um lucky that it could have it
could have been a lot worse and I got away with it benching foden and his 20 points is really
hard to see like that is bench Boo's territory like fair enough there's a minus one there as
well so it's only 19 points there if I had bench boosted but um it's really really difficult to
see that they're on your bench and I've already gone through
that with Palmer as well and you
know I've just been joking with the um the the amazing Australian um Twitter community that we've
got and the group chat that we have that maybe I should bring in Darwin you know game week 24 and
um and and I'll tell you what I do you all all a favor I'll um I'll bench him and he'll bang some
points and everyone will be happy so anyway look I'm I don't know what I'm going to do I I will
talk through my transfer decisions um in a mo but um yeah it's really t
ough to kind of look at
and kind of go yeah I could have I could have made some different choices there but you know it is
what it is and unfortunately yeah that's that's basically yeah where I ended up um I'm just going
to take a quick look at the um the chat and just uh any questions or you know anything that's
come up so far and um please do like hit the like button as well and And subscribe if you
haven't subscribed already um so I have been a little bit irregular recently just because
we've
had some really tight scheduling with the um the game weeks and it's been really difficult to um
you know schedule it around um look priorities you know I was scheduling it around tennis
because I I was at I was at the tennis and the Aussie open over here um and a massive tennis
fan on this side so yeah it was really difficult to kind of travel for that and and work's been
really hectic as well so I've not been able to be regular but hopefully with you know bit more
sort of spread ou
t game weeks I'll be able to um have a bit bit more sort of regular streams going
on as well um so animations just saying Yep this the season has been fun and also frustrating yep
absolutely yeah it's been it's been insane and yeah interesting to see that you did the same
uh foden will not start this game week against Everton so that's from GV um chances are that he
might come off at 65 minutes oh gosh yeah and this is the thing like there's so much speculation
and Trust pep right like can
you just believe it like he decided to play everyone he he played
kdb he played har he played um Alvarez he played foden you know like what the hell like so he's
just gone and played all of them and and here we are sort of thinking oh which one's going to get
bened which one's going to be you know like what's going on there but yeah it's it's so typical pep
um there wasn't much roulette basically on this occasion so um uh FPL booo boo selling sacka for
kdb o o um I don't know I don't know a
bout that I feel like sack's bit of a a certain forget in my
in my team at the moment even if I want to remove him I feel like I'm I just keep keeping him in the
team um it's the same with Gabrielle as well like he's had a couple of like minus ones now a couple
of I think he's had like two own own goals already and but then he's given me you know a brace so
um or was it a actually it wasn't a brace it was a goal and and an assist couple of game weeks
ago um thank you so much Tien chin up in
deed I am I feel like every time like someone says to me
um you know how are you taking it after having a great season last season I'm like yeah I'm fine
everything's fine you know it's okay I'm I'm just rolling with it at the moment um yeah Quinton
yeah exactly so you know uh crazy bigger content creators were talking about foden maybe being
benched um yeah I agree he's been really good this season and has played really really well and
I think you know don't get me wrong I think there was
a bit of influence from what I was seeing on
X from some of the other content creators as well and so yeah that was bound to happen um so what's
your thoughts on prioritizing Liverpool assets I will come to that in a moment um you know once
I talk about gameweek 24 so I'll touch on that uh had to play ferden as my bench option um jwp
against him yeah fair enough yeah that's that's fair um so actually before I sort of like jump
off the topic of this I wanted to share with you a couple of lik
e so I posted on um on X saying hi
I'm Mira and I benched foden for his 20 pointer you might remember me for benching Palmer for his
18 pointer earlier and and how I feel like I got away with it um I was actually really surprised
how many people had U not just liked the Tweet but responded to it and it's not often that I get
something like you know more than 40 responses you know to to a tweet like that but I wanted to share
some of the good ones that came came through um and uh and there w
as some really positive messages
as well so there was quite a few messages saying things like chin up you know hang in there don't
don't stress about it that kind of thing um and and then there were you know quite a few messages
that were something along the lines of um you know like I I did this and and and actually I got
something like uh 120 points and I I was so over the moon for for some of the um the FPL managers
that I've been following and their Journey as well so yeah it's been rea
lly good to kind of see that
but yeah like some of these some of these tweets were awesome so you know um it was it's it's great
to share your bad game weeks as well because you know it's okay it's okay to share it um I think
we only share the the happy path or like all the good things that happen and I think it's really
important to share like the things that have gone wrong or where [ __ ] has hit the fan and so
you know just just hearing from some of the FPL managers that I've been um I'
ve been following and
and and those that have been following my journey as well so you know people benching foden um and
also captaining salanki I was surprised how much of that combination existed um and uh and like
I said I've only got a few few that I've sort of favorited here um but um yeah look also like the
The Wander also Captain salanki um if it makes you feel better it doesn't make me feel better I
want you guys to do really well as well I had a couple of messages like that well if
you make
makes it if it makes you feel better and I was like nah it doesn't it makes me feel pretty [ __ ]
that you didn't get the points either um and it's great to hear that if you got a green arrow then
yeah fantastic and yep [ __ ] happens here we go again it was going to go Watkins and then bottled
it and went Harland talk about the swings right like there's just so many options available Ryan
Ryan you know I saw this and I was like [ __ ] 24 points and that was Garo wasn't it um and
I think
you played foden and Bernard I think you've got in your team as well which yeah um yeah so yeah a few
more you know as well uh have and that's the other thing like we've got players like foden ralis and
Watkins but then we Captain salanki so it's like what do you do right um and um yeah look Sid over
here has said uh being an LFC fan I benched sacka and missed his n-p pointer look that's really
not that bad but I can Rel relate to the the LFC you know the Liverpool bias that we that
we
had ever so slightly as well um and um and I I feel there was quite a few managers as well who
said you know I'm buying Harland and then I ended up benching foden as a result which is really
interesting again maybe they heard or got the memo you know from lots of other content creators
as well saying the same thing um baz you know does a great podcast as well um FPL optimized um really
love listening to those guys as well occasionally um yeah you know he said my only regret is that I
c
aptain Gordon which could have you know like how do we know that he was only going to play one half
and that was the other thing many managers brought in Gordon as well and um and that hasn't sort of
fared very well you know for the FPL managers that brought in Gordon um did you have any other like
you know like was there anything in particular that happened to you this game week you know CH
put it in the chat let me know um what happened on your end and um and look yeah another one that
tr
ansferred Gordon there um and Kya love it you know hi Mir I'm Kaa and I transferred Watkins for
Harland my score was worse than yours if it makes you feel better and yeah not really not really
um but yeah let me know did you have anyone else in your team that you wish you um yeah captained
um or you did Captain um yeah let me know and um yeah anyway moving on and like everyone has been
saying onwards and upwards and so yeah that's that's exactly what I'm going to be doing I'm just
looking f
orward now and thinking about my team yeah for game week 24 so I love checking out Lego
man's um fixture ticker um type of well I guess like the planning board that he has I do sort of
do a lot of my planning on my own board sort of behind me with posted notes and whatnot um but I'm
just going to pull up this um this particular um fixtures uh just to have a look at you know what
we've got going on and um yeah what I'm thinking you know at the moment so you know we've just uh
completed gamew
eek 23 and so looking at gameweek 24 there are a couple of good fixtures coming up
but obviously the priority is going to be around gameweek 25 where we do have some doubles and you
know I think we've got brenford doubling we've got Liverpool City and Luton I believe doubling
as well so yeah I think um I think I'm going to be prioritizing that a little bit more and um at
the moment I'm thinking I'm probably going to be rolling my my transfer and I'll come to my team
in in a sec as well just
show you what I've got there um so yeah so these are the confirmed um
fixtures that we have uh that are doubling um did I miss anyone there uh yeah no that that's
it yeah so we've just got four fixtures that are doubling there and then of course we've got
blanks in gameweek 26 so Tottenham are blanking Liverpool are blanking um and we've got Luton
blanking as well so that is making it really tricky to plan actually so um on one hand we've
got doubles with the with basically similar teams s
o with Luton brenford and um actually is brenford
blanking as well uh no brentford's not blanking no brentford's not blanking sorry so we've got
Liverpool blanking and we've got Luton blanking and I think that's where we're probably well looen
so I actually don't have any looen players but I have been seeing a lot of FPL managers bringing
in looen players so yeah really interesting let me know actually have you brought in any looen
players are you thinking about any looen players to bring i
n um I'm just a little bit conscious
about that just because you know they are blanking and I feel like I've already got a bit of benching
sort of Dramas going on and you know whether I do that or not is a yeah it's sort of Up For Debate
but having said that Luton do have a really good fixture in gameweek 29 and so yeah I think that's
um that's not such a bad shout I know like the gameweek 29 um fix are not sort of 100% confirmed
at the moment um but um yeah something to sort of yeah think
about there but at the moment I guess
the fixtures that I would like to be targeting are going to be the man City fixtures so they're
playing Chelsea and brenford and also the um the Liverpool fixtures where they've got brenford
and Luton which are obviously on paper fantastic fixtures to have you know brenford is away Luton
is at home um however I'm kind of tempted by some of the brenford players as well I'm not sure um
Tony has been getting returns and even flein like that was a fantastic
assist that um he got on the
weekend um just kind of getting that ball out to Neil Morp um who I absolutely detest so yeah but
it was really good to see that and um it has been on my radar because I've got de braco in gold
at the moment and I've also got Turner so not entirely sure what to do you know with those guys
um and de Brava I just can't even I I just don't know I I don't even know what to say like their
match against luten I I just can't you just can't explain that kind of [ __ ]
right like he was
awful he was awful I mean the defense was awful as well but he was just like what on Earth are you
doing so there's a part of me that's like do I do I do something about de bravco or not as well and
I feel really yucky about doing anything with my goalkeepers during you know without without
playing my wild card or something like that so yeah anyway um Food For Thought haven't really
sort of you know decided on that but um if I show you my team so I've been just you know ti
nkering
around on um plan FPL a little bit um I do sort of sometimes use this particular site or you know
FPL team as well um sort of in in between them no particular reason you know just to kind of have
a play whichever one sort of if I decide to pick up um so look at the moment um I'm looking at
gameweek 25 because obviously I've been planning ahead a little bit but if I show you my gameweek
24 um at the as as it stands I'm probably going to be playing de Brava they they' got um Forest
u
m away um so Newcastle have got Forest away which I think is a good fixture for them but like
I said Deka has been absolutely [ __ ] um and not expecting you know lots from the defense but I'm
really hoping after the after the debacle um that they had that they may tighten up a little bit
cuz yeah that's just crazy um so I'm going to be playing Gabrielle at the back again um as well so
they're playing um West Ham um and then I've got Pedro porro there playing against Brighton and
I've got L
i um so Trent playing against Burnley which is a great fixture I have to admit I'm a
little bit nervous about having Trent you know playing at the moment because I don't know if
he's going to get the minutes it's it's really hard to say like do you guys have in the chat um
on Spaces or on um on YouTube do you have Trent in your team are you nervous about his minutes
um how many minutes are you thinking that he's going to get um are you are you playing him you
know I I feel like it's a no-br
ainer to play him so it's not really that question but um yeah I'm a
little bit nervous about the minutes that he might get against um against Burnley especially because
like there's there's a couple of options there as well and um yeah and Connor Bradley's been amazing
as you know um so yeah undecided there um but then I've got jotter again you know so I'm really
happy that I did bring in Doo J that probably would have been my transfer this week anyway it
would have been a free transfer bu
t if I roll my transfer I do go into gameweek 25 with two free
transfers which would be the ideal scenario so I think I was bound to take a hit between now and
gameweek 26 anyway whether that would be for um you know covering me myself for the blanks or
the doubles or doing something a little bit earlier um as I did last game week which kind of
backfired I think when I calculated you know the uh the transfer I made and the the benching and
then you know like the captaincy if I'd switched I
I would have had to not make the hit not bench
foden and Captain someone else to be on a Green Arrow so those three things sort of aligning
probably would have been a bit challenging I think um given how shitty my season has been
going um I'll then be playing Palmer against uh Palace um so they're away um to Palace and
then I've got foden I don't think I'm going to be benching foden um so too soon um so I'm not
going to be benching F and I'll be playing him um I've got sacka there and I've
got ralison again
richison on you know phenomenal form makes sense to to play him um I'm playing Watkins um against
United and harand Nob brainer playing him against Everton and I'm captaining Harland at the moment
which means in terms of the the benching and so for those of you in the chat who asked who I
was benching earlier I'm benching salanki at the moment and it's so strange it's like so
I'm desperately not looking at the previous game week in this in you know obviously with
the the
the team selection that I'm doing for gameweek 24 obviously it's going to influence
ever so slightly but I'm trying to not let it sort of bias me too much um I'm benching salanki
because I think he's probably the the lowest EO that I've got in my team around my rank and so
he's probably going to hurt me the the least as well and so it it basically means that I get
to play richison you know and uh and I think he was the only other player where I was like ah but
then you know Brian's defense
has been [ __ ] as well so you know makes sense for me play richison
especially cuz like he's playing so well at the moment but yeah let me know what you think um you
know would you change anything in the lineup that I've got at the moment um and you know I've got um
so the the other thing is that I've got a Stan on my second bench and I don't know like I know like
um uh savy who's who's in the chat you know she uh she had um uh Stan for two game weeks and you
know brought him into a game w
eeks ago and he's had like minus one zero points and has transferred
him out and it's been really tricky because like I brought him in really early on and I got two
clean sheet points you know out of him and uh and I don't I think maybe there was a return
as well I'm not sure but then yeah you know the Brighton's form has dipped a little bit there in
the defense and I'm not sure so I look I we know I say we know but you know likelihood of Tottenham
scoring against Brighton's fairly High and
um yeah it's an away fixture for Brighton as well so yeah
I'm putting Stan on the bench and and Taylor I have no idea what's going on with Taylor and I was
really counting on Taylor to be available you know for the upcoming sort of blanks and things CU um
you know if I if I sort of go over to gameweek 26 Taylor has got Palace and so look Burnley haven't
been that great either but that probably would have been okay because it's not like Palace have
been sort of firing I mean yeah you know e
Alisa had some really good returns recently but but not
too sure about that um so I was kind of counting on you know um Taylor be Being Fit um not sure
what's going on there I might have to make a a transfer over there but look at the moment I'm
thinking about rolling I think the only other transfer that I was considering and I feel like i'
would be replicating exactly what I did last game week which is do I take out Watkins or salanki and
bring in Darwin I actually can't I just realized I
can't actually do that in one move anyway cuz
um Darwin is a fair bit expensive so I'd have to take out Watkins to bring in Darwin if I really
wanted to um but I don't feel like doing that um so I'm a little bit hesitant there but if I fast
forward to gameweek 25 I probably do want another Liverpool player I'm not sure so I haven't quite
decided what I want to be doing um at the moment for gameweek 25 I'm I'm just kind of rolling with
like one game week at time at the moment and just kind
of you know seeing how things go there um
but um yeah let me know what you think you know what are your sort of priorities for gameweek 25
you know you thinking about bringing maximizing on you know the players that are doubling so are you
thinking about bringing in more Liverpool players more City players I've only got two so that's the
other thing like do I make a defensive transfer do I maybe take out you know porro for example who
blanks in gameweek 26 do I take him out ahead of you kno
w wolves because I'm thinking about
benching him at the moment or do I take out isan and because and just come losses there because
I don't actually have too much value tied up in in estupinan given that I only brought him in a
couple of game weeks ago um so that's the other possibility that I may sort of yeah um take out
a Stan and um bring in um uh bringing maybe a um I think you know someone in the chat mentioned
guiol um that is an option uh Walker if we're all over Walker gate maybe an
option as well I'm
not sure um or do I go double Liverpool defense which makes me feel very nervous as a Liverpool
supporter as well so I'm not sure about doing that um but yeah let me know what you think um
even on the the spaces chat as well you know if you're thinking about um you know who are you
thinking about bringing in um so let me just have a quick quick quick look at the chat um so Tien
you're saying uh a little nervous about Trent um but I'm playing him anyway yeah I think that'
s
probably the likelihood of that one um looking to sell Watkins and salanki to Harland and Darwin
for two free trans uh two free transfers I think that is yeah yeah two free transfers um yeah
I don't mind that but selling Watkins makes me a little bit nervous um I yeah I love the
tweet that um TN FPL planner had sent you know there was two types of FPL managers um you know
those that were um those that had um you know uh captained or not not captained I think it was
just owning Watkins an
d it was like looking at two sort of lots of scenery on the bus you know
that particular Meme and you had two types of FPL managers that had Watkins those that had him and
those that you know I don't know Captain I'm not sure different perspectives of having Watkins um
but yeah it's it's an interesting one but yeah I don't feel like removing Watkins from my team
um even though you know the Darwin f fomo is a little bit strong there and I think um I think
again Tien sort of mentioned Darwin
U being like the uh the um lottery power ball where you just
you just wait and see and see what happens and but you got to you know you got to be in it
to win it right so you got to buy a ticket um so yeah that's that's currently what I'm thinking
um uh Captain G uh Harland is opposing God's rule salanki captain now that that mirror is benching
him yep yep yeah I feel like I've got a knack for this you know benching thing so yeah I mean look
you know I might change my plans you know like I
might I might bench um Rich charison that um yeah
I'm not sure I'm not sure uh but yeah I think I'm pretty confident I'm going to be benching salanki
um and uh watch him get a hattick now um yeah lots of uh Taylor was that Taylor for kilman yeah maybe
maybe I don't know I feel like I should prioritize like the doublers or something but I just don't
know where to go like do I go for a fleckin um or actually not a fleckin but a brenford sort of
Defender I don't know it's a bit tricky isn't it
like that's probably a terrible idea don't
go there maybe just go with a a city um a city defender or something like that and just leave
it there maybe for gameweek 25 and maybe even Roll Another transfer so I could in gameweek 25
take out a tan um and bring in let's see select replacement I could bring in um was it is he how
much has he eared probably not much I mean walk is up there as well so yeah I could get Walker or
this guiol um so if I do that it gives me a little bit more money in
the bank but then I could roll
the second transfer and go into gameweek 26 with um an extra transfer and I think um I'd already
made a transfer there to like you know I think I had already done jot to garnacho cuz I think
I'd have to drop one of my Liverpool players just because of the blanks and so I've got one
more transfer I'm not sure if I'll definitely do that but I think I I definitely need to make
one more transfer there so that would probably be either porro out or you know between
Palmer
richison and Trent I'm hesitant to lose those three so I'm happy to bench those three so Palmer
richison and Trent for gameweek 26 and maybe take out porro and bring in another Defender is what
I'm currently thinking um cuz I'm quite happy to hold on to richardon until son's back and um
and even then you know Richardson's just been on really good form so yeah he's been really good
for my team but yeah happy to also ditch as well so a little bit undecided for that part of um
yeah th
e upcoming game weeks and so yeah watch this space I think um Ryan is saying although I'm
most likely selling salanki this game week I don't own richardon so he can start him um yeah yeah
we'll see we'll see how that goes um agree gov FPL um wolves do have some good fixtures coming
up yeah it's not a not a bad shout at all you know um as an option um yeah we'll have to have
a think about that anyway so that's basically my thoughts at the moment I'm just going to go back
to my gameweek 24 so
as I mentioned game week 24 I'm thinking about benching salanki benching his
tupan and uh benching Taylor there um just because yeah he's not playing at all um and rolling the
transfer so I can go into gameweek 25 with two free transfers and then yeah try and only make
one transfer in gameweek 25 to include one more doubler that will then give me five doublers going
into gameweek 25 um actually I'm really curious to know how many doublers do you think you're going
to have in gameweek 25 ar
e you expecting to have um four like two two of city um Liverpool or
more you know what's your plans there what's your thinking there um let me know in chat um how
many doublers do you have for gameweek 25 I'm not sure what the optimal number is I'm not sure what
is a good amount of doublers to have in your side um I think in the past you know I've when there's
been I've tried to have like five or six doublers maybe a bit more depending on how many doubles
are going on but given there's onl
y four doubles I'm tempted to only have like four players maybe
the fifth player player but yeah what what are you guys thinking are you thinking about having um
a few more a few more doublers there or not um yeah that's pretty much it so thank you again
um yeah connect with me um on on Twitter or on X um as we as we're calling it now I'm still
calling it Twitter every now and then um really appreciate you guys being in the chat especially
on spaces and um and of course on um on YouTube as
well and as I mentioned I'm hoping to do a few
more regular streams as well it's been a it's been a while um and there's been a lot going on
as well so yeah looking forward to a little bit more consistency if you if you like this type of
content where it's very rambly very sort of you know unprepared it is very much off the cuff um
I don't put much preparation into these um at all as you see you know I'm just using a browser um
to kind of you know talk through what my um game week has been
like and what I'm thinking about
moving forward uh but yeah please do like and subsscribe really do appreciate it it just means
that other people kind of get to see this content especially on on YouTube as well so if yeah if you
haven't subscribed please do subscribe um but um yeah I'll sort of leave it there so in about um 15
minutes or so um if you haven't come across Ryan so Football chat box um he's an excellent content
creator over here in Australia and he's actually doing a stream fai
rly soon um so in about sort
of 15 minutes or so I'll see if I can post the link U I'll re I'll you know just do a tweet
off that um yeah he's doing a stream in about 15 minutes or so and he's got Roy Guna joining him
who had a massive game week from the sounds of it I mean like 119 points is huge so yeah I'm really
looking forward to catching that stream and just hearing from Roy about yeah what you know his
his transfers and what he's thinking you know about um upcoming fixtures as well s
o yeah please
do check that out um love Ryan's content give it yeah give it give it a go as well um so that's it
folks thank you again for joining me it has been absolutely wild um take it easy good luck with
the upcoming game week wishing you green arrows and yeah all the best and uh I will let you know
if I'm going to throw some curve balls out there by bringing in Darwin and uh I won't be benching
Darwin if I do bring in Darwin but um yeah I'll let you know what I'm I'm finalizing with u
m this
game week but yeah at the moment it really does feel like a roll just because it makes sense to
have two free transfers going into gameweek 25 um that's it thanks for listening um a little bit
shorter than usual I say a little bit shorter than usual because these have gone on for like
more than an hour in the past but yeah thank you again for being here really really appreciate

Thanks for joining - 00:02:13 - Stream starts. Let me know your transfer plans 👇🏽
Thank you for the shoutout Meera 😊. Hopefully a great gameweek for both of us in 24!
Mad mad week. Benching Foden was a bit risky but you didn't deserve to be punished to that extent. Mark my words, you will finish in the top 100k 💪
