Love this podcast, always listen to it. Great listen everytime

What are your thoughts on Mateta?

Do Saka and Isak to Salah and DCL using 2 FT and WC6 or save and use 3FTs to match WC teams in GW6?

Adam drop Robbo to your bench this week and play Leif Davis instead. You already have a Liverpool defender and Alisson is out too for the Bournemouth game and Bournemouth play great attacking football so Liverpool will not keep a cleansheet and Trent could get you an attacking return this week to cover up for the lack of the cleansheet. I wouldn't double on Liverpool this week as I also don't see Robbo with any sort of attacking return either I'd start either Lewis or Davis however I'm leaning more towards Davis as we've seen so far already that Southampton are the weakest side in the league and can't score against anyone plus maybe an attacking return off of a corner for a 12 15 pointer. Lewis is a little risky as you're playing Pep Roulette and gambling on him not getting subbed off again at halftime by Pep like in the Brentford game if Pep wants to change things around.

Great pod as usual. After his performance in the EFL Cup am I crazy to think Carvalho might be the standout pick in the Brentford attack?

No salah.. captain Haaland or Watkins?

Adam actually has 2 free transfers cause 2 are already booked in for Halaand.Not that good as it looks....

best of luck for gw5 lads, I can't wait to press the wildcard button after the deadline lol

Always awesome to hear the Above Average Boys, Adam and Baker. Still rockin’ the casbah! Best of luck 🤞 for the nomination. I’ve certainly done my bit.

Great pod. Interesting comments about having the FTs in the bank. I have been rolling with the aim of shifting to a Haaland team in GW6, like a mini-wildcard. I will need to use 4 FTs to do the switch and also get Raya. I might just do 3 and keep Flekken. Then hopefully rebuild. Will need to think about that one. Really enjoying your work

I think this is a great podcast really interesting, but personally I think entirely differently about the 3-4 saved transfers, and it comes back to my point separately about a hit being only 4 points. I think the true value of 3-4 transfers is precisely to use them all together. Its purpose will be to shift between a Haaland squad, to a Salah squad, to a double City double Arsenal, to a big at the back squad as fixtures dictate without the need of a wildcard. We’ve never had that option before. So I fundamentally disagree that its true value is multiple double transfers, it’s about reshaping your structure using 3,4,5 transfers without wildcarding. I think it’s more of a mindset shift than you are giving credit for.

There was a comment about 41 min here that shows how much we all overvalue the pain of a hit. You say that you are better to take a 10-20 hit relative to crowd and wait to wildcard but if you had 2 FTs you’d strongly consider it … But having 1Ft plus 4 points is the same as having 2FTs. So in essence you are saying you would accept a 10-20 point hit to avoid a future 4 point hit. Shows that we avoid hits far more than their true 4 point value.

Great pod as always. i think Bakers thought process on accumulated transfers is sound. If you could get 4 transfer for the crimbo period and just use two a week over that period that could be a massive power play with team rotations.

Let’s goooo🎉

Thanks, enjoyed it as always. Should I start Gabriel or Munoz this week? Already have Raya.

Great pod! Going forward long term do you prefer Jota or Diaz?

I only have Gabriel and want an arsenal triple up until GW 10 so I’m gonna wildcard as I have 4 transfers at the moment which can allow me to get out on any player I desire post GW 9

Baker getting croakier by the day, lay off the fags pal

If I would be Baker's mum I would change the * to 'for Adam'. Baker had a decent green, no? Or is it the Spurs result? And of course great listen as always.

Thinking about Isak to Watkins if Ollie's mins seem good and Isak's don't. Likely wildcarding gw6, could not work out but it's a derby for Aston Villa and Wolves are naked at the back

Haaland scores 7 goals in the first 3 games...and you sub him out 😳

Big shoulder Baker... parity is restored gentlemen...

Was interesting, Porro not being booked for delaying the restart when Saliba did.

Arsenal fan here and was never the biggest fan of Emery at our club, but one thing is for sure with this guy, he is one of the best, if not the best coaches in World football for Strikers: - Villa he’s turned Watkins into an animal, getting his career high tally last year. Duran is developing nicely this season too. - Villarreal, Moreno had his best goal tally and scored the only goal and his pen in a 1-1 vs United to help them win the Europa league - Arsenal, in a poor arsenal side, auba still won the golden boot and the season Emery left, Arteta went on to win the fa cup beating city and Chelsea, where auba scored a brace in both games. - PSG, cavani, di Maria, Neymar and mbappe all had good records while he was there - Bacca helped Emery win a Europa league in his first season. Bacca and gameiro again scored the year after to help them win a second time and gameiro again the year after that to make it 3 in a row. Bacca and Gameiro were consistently the leagues top scorers during his tenure - Valencia he had David Villa who got his career high tally under Emery and was replaced with soldado, who as you guys will know his best years were at Valencia and Valencia only

Fucking hell

Mbeumo will only be central if Bees go 3-5-2. Whoever out of Schade and Carvalho plays central will be the next bandwagon if they score v Spurs. Collins is the best pick on WC if not going Flekken. Seems to be on the end of a lot of set pieces.

Misery loves company... haha perfect starting point for the GW review :D

As a wolves fan ,Adams right trouble does love company , but rember it could be worse ,we could be Everton fans

25 points on my wildcard 🎉

Can't lie can't deny your content is so good.. Even listened it every week But who on earth would Wildcarding without erling Haaland😂 especially at His peak, that was truly sucks Sick!

That grin on bakers face 😂

Was on wc and last minute took porro out for gabriel, benched gabriel, thankfully joao pedro didnt play 🎉

Sold Rashford and Nkunku for a hit to bring in Diaz and Minteh.... Pain. Just going to pretend this gameweek didn't happen.

87 points -, Haaland, Watkins, started Gabriel, have Raya, Saka to name a few. No Salah.

48 points for me. 400k red arrow lol. Not a great week for many think. Bigger problem is that I kept Isak on my wildcard with a view to bring Wissa in for him soon. Now both are flagged.

I have a bunch of players in my team I want rid of, but literally no one else I want in their place. Such a dead game atm

All I am saying is imagine if Haaland didn’t play lol the scores would have been so bad

Gonna listen to this in bed but FPL was not great Duran Watkins and our comeback was class

What a disaster weekend for me on FPL and seeing that 15 pointer on my bench from Gabriel was pain considering I played robinson over him last minute. Ugg o well I put Rogers first bench and thats who came on for Pedro which also hurts 😂

Came for the pre season bonus point pod. Stuck around the spreadex data.

Amazing to get to 1 mil views, congrats guys. Been here from early days and been great to see you grow, well derserved!

Congratulations on 1million gents! Been tuning in every week, and playing it on my living room TV 🙌

I am almost set on my WC. One decision to make. Whether to go Watkins or downgrade to Nketiah to allow Raya, Porro and Trent

Baker - your team is OK. But if you wildcard and change to the 5 or 6 players you mentioned, you will gain about 20 points and at least 0.6m in team value. A 4 point hit in GW6 to get arsenal is nothing compared to the gains.

Congratulations on the 1M view 🎉

Adam getting triggered by Rockstar is hilarious

Just watching it back lads Adam have you considered a bench boost out of this wildcard mate? You could put together a really strong squad

Congrats on the milestone views lads! Great pod, great banter, above average FPL advice! And I din't know Adam was off 6, a decent golfer too! Good luck with the WC and hope Spurs get the dub

Congratulations on 1M views lads!

Great to have you back lads...I do miss bakers hench shoulders.. can we correct for next pod please?? FPL love ❤
