0:00Welcome to the Fantasy Football Hub
0:01YouTube channel. Today I'm joined by the
0:04big man Bar to preview gameweek 3 where
0:06BAR's wild card is active. It's a huge
0:10game week, gameweek [music] 3. A lot of
0:12people out there are using chips. Good
0:13to have you back on the channel. I'm
0:15really excited to see your wild card.
0:17We're going to be building it in this
0:18video and also hear the rationale behind
0:21it as you sit at an extremely healthy
0:2425K. I mean, it's pretty cool for us
0:26both to be in the top 100K after just
0:28two weeks and be doing this video, but
0:31wild carding after an unbelievable week
0:33that you just had, that is interesting.
0:35How are you?
0:36>> Hello, Jack. Thank you for having me.
0:38Hello and welcome to all the listeners
0:39and viewers. Yeah, I feel extremely
0:42overwhelmed to be in this sort of
0:43position. 25K after two weeks. I've just
0:46smashed like 122 points this week and
0:48everything has gone according to plan.
0:50And even though the bench boost in game
0:52one was slightly underwhelming, I sit at
0:54a very reasonable position.
0:58I I was speaking to you off air and we
1:00were discussing that after game five
1:02last season, I was ranked 6 million. So
1:04this feels like uh a complete um polar
1:08opposite to where I was last season and
1:09generally I I tend to start uh quite
1:11slowly. So I'm I'm very glad that I've
1:13been able to sort of start more quickly
1:16this time and I'm hoping to consolidate
1:18on that position. um with a wild card
1:21this week. It's actually surprising that
1:24uh I've actually my my schedule is very
1:28sort of built around FPL because I do
1:31this as a full-time job. So, it's
1:32interesting that I've actually chosen to
1:34travel at a point in time where I'm wild
1:36carding. I'm actually in in Riyad for
1:39for a week. So, yeah. I mean, I haven't
1:42been able to give as much thought as I
1:44normally do to a wild card, but I'm
1:45hoping that I get it right before the
1:47deadlines. You were telling me off air
1:49you're you're going to an Ali game
1:51tonight watching Watkins's debut most
1:54likely which is which is pretty cool.
1:56>> Yeah.
1:56>> Yeah. I mean he's apparently going to be
1:58making his debut so we need to watch
2:00some of that. Yeah.
2:01>> Well that is good. That's good to hear.
2:03Okay. Where should we I let's let's I
2:06want to build your team. I really do. I
2:08want to build your team and as we're
2:09building it as we go through it I want
2:12to uh I want to sort of ask you about
2:14about the rationale for it. Okay. So,
2:16your team for gameweek three is on
2:19screen. This is what your team would be
2:21without a a uh a wild card. So, why do
2:25you think that that this team needs a
2:27wild card? Obviously, the team uh rating
2:30is 81 out of 100 up here, which is a
2:33long way down on where it has been for
2:34you in gameweek one and gameweek 2,
2:37according to Fantasy Football Hub's My
2:38Team tool. So, that's concerning, but
2:40yeah. Why do you think that you need a
2:42wild card this week?
2:45my uh initial couple of uh weeks the
2:48team that I had uh in that time period
2:50was built with the idea of uh wild
2:52carding in M3. So the team rating that
2:55uh we show here 81%.
2:58Uh is actually in line with what I've
3:00planned. So I know that the team is weak
3:03going forward. I don't think it is
3:04sustainable to carry and even though it
3:06has scored very healthily in the first
3:09two weeks I don't think that the
3:11performance can can be replicated going
3:13forward. So I think this need this team
3:15needs a complete reset actually. So for
3:18example if I run you through the team
3:20one by one I will be removing I think
3:24Gabriel I won't have I probably I
3:26definitely won't have Magguire
3:28California maybe I can keep I won't have
3:29Fernandez which is again significant I
3:32won't have Embomo I won't have Lefay I
3:35won't have Isac I won't have Talbert
3:37Leuen I won't have RS I won't have Bard
3:39I won't have white I won't have India so
3:41I'm effectively changing what 12 people
3:43in my team and that just gives you the
3:45answer to why I'm wild carding because I
3:46just don't think that this team is
3:47anywhere close to what I want to have
3:49going forward. And it's u it's actually
3:52a product of owning let's say Triple
3:54United and and Triple Sunderland. That
3:56sort of locks me into a wild card very
3:58uh firmly because I don't think this is
4:00a team which would be worth a free hit
4:02because I don't want to carry Triple
4:04United or Triple Sunderland going
4:06forward and obviously I want to build a
4:08team around Harland and Palmer which uh
4:11would cover me well for captaincy in the
4:13coming weeks. Uh long story short, my
4:16team would look significantly different
4:17to what it does right now and hence I
4:19think it merits the use of a wild card.
4:22U again uh there are other strategical
4:25benefits to it. For example, I can
4:27benefit in team value. I don't think I
4:29will be able to build a team of my
4:31choice let's say in 3 to four weeks time
4:33because the price chains are very
4:34volatile. And if I'm wild carding right
4:36now, I think that we have enough
4:38information to know about some of the
4:39obvious picks. For example, ja pedro s
4:41boslai the moscara injury last night was
4:44great because cons dropped in price to
4:464.4 before I can just own him going
4:47forward. I don't feel that there are too
4:50many unknowns at this moment and let's
4:52say if I was to wild card in in two to
4:54three weeks time I don't think I'd be
4:55gaining too much information and even if
4:57I'm sort of supposed to react at that
4:59point in time I will have three
5:00transfers built up to react to any
5:04crisis that may emerge.
5:07>> Okay. Now don't worry guys in the
5:09comments down below. I'm going to be I'm
5:11not I'm not wild carding this week. So,
5:13I'm going to be and I'm actually I'm
5:14quite I'm quite happy not to be wild
5:15carding. I don't want to wild card. So,
5:17I'm going to be pushing back on this a
5:19little bit as we go. Uh, so there's
5:21going to be a little bit of discourse.
5:24So far, I have left in the players that
5:27um you said could be in. Shoes and Jar
5:29Pedra, I think obviously will be in. Um,
5:31they're both very good pick. Well, Jar
5:32Pedra has to be in. Shabbas, as you
5:34said, probably going to be in their
5:35calipuries and maybe we need to start
5:37with Bruno Fernandez who doesn't who
5:38doesn't uh who doesn't have a role in
5:41this team. you said that
5:43um just a couple of minutes ago. Now, I
5:46don't know if you know, but he got a lot
5:48of points last week. He's the form
5:50player in the in the league right now
5:52and no place for him in in this team.
5:55So, let's talk about that first. How
5:56come you've come to that conclusion?
6:00>> I mean, that was last week firstly. I
6:02mean, that's the key word. So, what has
6:03happened has no sort of impact on future
6:06outcomes. Look, I think he's 12 million,
6:09which is historically more than he has
6:12been at any point in time over his
6:14career in FPL. Now, you're speaking to
6:17someone who's a diehard Bruno fan in
6:19FPL. I've owned Bruno for all weeks,
6:22barring one in the previous two seasons.
6:24So, I think if there's anyone who would
6:26uh who would fight against Bruno
6:27Fernandez, it would be me. But even I
6:30feel sort of comfortable going without
6:31him because we're sitting in a in a in a
6:36space where when you look at the fixture
6:37schedule that's been shown up on screen,
6:40you look at the next six game weeks, how
6:41many games will captain him in at 12
6:43million? Maybe one at best, which is the
6:46Spurs at home game.
6:47>> Yeah,
6:49>> I don't think that merits uh the use of
6:5112 million when he's going to be your
6:52captain maybe once in let's say 6 weeks.
6:56So if you compare that with Holland and
6:58Palmer who rotate excellent excellently
7:00for captaincy. So starting from this
7:02week Holland is commentary at home. Next
7:04week Palmer is Hull at home and then uh
7:06Holland has Sunland at home. So I just
7:09think they they rotate really well. And
7:11what's key to to sort of going for a
7:14non-Fernandez draft is actually Palmer's
7:16price. So for example, I got Palmer at 4
7:189.5 million. that allows me 2.5 million
7:21saving over Fernandez and it allows so
7:23many upgrades across the rest of the
7:24squad and United's fixtures are I mean
7:27they're not all that great and to be
7:29very honest I do think they were very
7:30lucky against I switch had that slip not
7:32happened and Fernandez not been
7:34presented with the first goal I think
7:35the outcome of that game could have been
7:37quite different so I'm not fully sold on
7:39United at the moment and um even though
7:41Fernandez is a great choice I think that
7:44there's merit to going without him
7:46>> yeah I do agree with that um I'm
7:48obviously playing Devils Africa I I I
7:50completely agree with all that logic.
7:51Bruno Fernanas will be leaving my team
7:53this week as well. It's it's you know
7:55it's a bit weird that happening when
7:57he's obviously had an unbelievable game.
7:59Sometimes uh I watch Premier League
8:02years on on TV on Sky Sports and they
8:06show highlights of of previous seasons
8:08and there'll be games where one player
8:10from I don't know like the naughties 90s
8:12whatever just scores three gets an
8:14assist or whatever. And I think to
8:16myself, wow, how cool would that have
8:17been owning that player in fantasy at
8:19that time. I think that was one of those
8:21games for Bruno. But as as you say, and
8:24I've got it up on the fixture ticket
8:25here, when when would you captain him?
8:30>> You know, game week six,
8:31>> apart from and gameweek six, you know,
8:33Palmer Dedra as Bournemouth at home.
8:36>> It's a good alternative. Bournemouth are
8:38not are not going to be as strong as
8:39they were last year. I think I think
8:40that's I think that's probably going to
8:42be the case outside of that. But yeah,
8:45there really aren't many uh chances to
8:47captain Bruno. Maybe maybe gave me 10,
8:50but by that point so much else could
8:52have changed. Um, this is Fantasy
8:53Football Hub's fixture analyzer by the
8:55way. As you can see, guys, is
8:56phenomenal. You need to you need to get
8:58on this link down below to go and have a
9:00look at it uh for yourself. Okay, let's
9:03get on to the actual team then. I think
9:05at this point, let's start building it.
9:07Yeah, just just like a couple of u
9:10points that I would like to mention just
9:12to overview the whole idea.
9:14>> U you know there's all I mentioned um
9:17Holland and Palmer there's also uh
9:20Newcastle have a very positive fixture
9:22swing that look really good.
9:23>> So we can you know build the team around
9:25Chelsea City and Newcastle and then
9:27there are a lot of good budget enablers
9:30that have emerged which have sort of
9:32solidified my my choice. So I mentioned
9:35Kona earlier there's Sangari Ross
9:38Anderson all these guys are very cheap
9:39and they allow you know a very good sort
9:41of squad to be to be built and uh now
9:44the transfer windows closed as well. So
9:46that's another sort of point which um
9:49works uh in the favor I so my strategy
9:52overall is just going to be you know
9:53build a robust enough squad build a
9:54squad that's going to last for 30 plus
9:56weeks and save as many transfers as
9:58possible which worked well for me last
9:59season and then see what what uh comes
10:02with it. And one final point would be a
10:04comparison with free hit three. Uh and I
10:06think that especially with my squad
10:08because the number of players that I'm
10:09getting rid of, it works slightly
10:10better. The one issue that I have with
10:13free hit three is the fact that I think
10:15that even if I was to free hit this
10:16week, I don't think I would have been
10:18able to delay the wild card for too much
10:20longer. I think I would have probably
10:21wild card in five or six. Whereas if I
10:23wild card right now, I can save as many
10:25as possible. Then I can forget later in
10:27the season. Let's say game week 12, game
10:28week 14. So I think it gives me more
10:30optionality going forward. So that's one
10:32thing I wanted to add sort of
10:33strategically. Okay. Before we get into
10:35the team.
10:36>> Sure. That makes sense. Okay. Run us
10:38through the team then. Who have you got?
10:40>> Yeah. So I've gone with Rya as my
10:42keeper. Again, someone who served me
10:43really well last season set and forget
10:45option. I did not own him in my initial
10:49game week one and two team because it
10:50was more of a short-term team. But I
10:52think if I'm be building a team for the
10:55for a significant period of time, I just
10:56think the tri is a very safe and comfy
10:58option to pick. Uh I've picked Drafka as
11:02my second goalkeeper. I think uh out of
11:04all the four million keepers, maybe
11:06Dubraka has the chance of getting the
11:08odd game here or there because King
11:09never fills me with a lot of confidence.
11:12>> So I think that Drafka makes uh
11:14>> makes some sense.
11:16>> Sure.
11:16>> And um I think the defense is actually
11:19the toughest part to get right.
11:21Actually, I think I'm fairly set on at
11:23least seven of my front eight and my
11:26keeper, by the way. But the defense,
11:28>> let's do let's do the let's do that
11:29then. Let's do the players you're most
11:31set on.
11:32>> Yes, I was going to counter that. Yeah.
11:33So So Bosa, you mentioned him earlier in
11:36the video
11:36>> again on penalties. Sort of like the
11:39mini Bruno Fernandez in the Liverpool
11:42team playing at 7 million.
11:44>> Very safe and set and forget option.
11:47>> Yeah.
11:47>> Yes. Okay. Then I have um Palmer of
11:52course for obvious reasons.
11:55Then I have Sangare who at 5.6 feels
11:58like an absolute gift.
11:59>> Yeah,
12:00>> he has hit defcons in in both games so
12:03far and has even had two tactical
12:05returns in the previous game. I was uh
12:07monitoring his minutes in the second
12:08game week and he played 90. So that
12:10gives me more confidence in his uh
12:12minutes going forward. Then I've gone
12:15with the Pascal Gross. Again, I was
12:17hoping that he'd keep quiet against
12:19Chelsea because he was always going to
12:20be in my um game free wild card team,
12:23but I think he'll be a lot more popular
12:25than he was initially because again, a
12:28guy on penalties and and nailed for 90
12:29minutes. It's surprising that at his age
12:32at his age, he's playing so many minutes
12:34consistently, but he seems like a
12:36machine is not going to stop. So, yeah,
12:38pass is there. Then the the fifth
12:41midfielder is a bit uncertain. So, I'll
12:43leave that for now.
12:43>> Let's do the front three. Yes, I think
12:46I'm fairly locked on the front three. I
12:48think Harland has to obviously be there
12:50and you've picked it yourself. Uh, Jiao
12:52Pedro for obvious reasons and Vista has
12:53also come into the team because
12:55Newcastle actually have a really strong
12:56run of fixtures and Vissa is looking
12:59like a 90-minute man and I I think he
13:02he's going to be on penalties with with
13:04Noah, no Gordon, Newcastle as well. So
13:08yeah, I think Vista looks really, really
13:10good for the upcoming run of fixtures
13:11and I think he's a significant upgrade
13:13on Calbert Luan at this point in time.
13:16>> Yeah, I do agree with that. I do agree.
13:19I think during this video I'm going to
13:20just get I'm going to I'm going to be
13:22I'm going to be jealous. I'm going to
13:23give my my personal reasoning, you know,
13:25my video later in the week and then also
13:27also I'll have a few things to say. But
13:30you Yeah, I mean I can't I cannot argue
13:31with any of these picks so far. They are
13:33all very very solid and just good FPL
13:36picks. um which is what you want in a
13:38world card. The only thing I' I'd
13:40potentially say is we'll see what how
13:42your team lines up at the end. But two
13:44Chelsea forwards uh attackers away at
13:47Arsenal doesn't it's not the best start.
13:50You know, they've conceded one shot on
13:52target so far this season. You've had
13:54triple Arsenal defense. Let's um let's
13:57move on to the defense now and see if
13:58there are any other Arsenal players
14:00there.
14:01Yeah, my just a very small
14:03counterargument to that this would be
14:04that, you know, I'm happy even if I have
14:06like a relatively mediocre game because
14:08I'm building a team for the long term.
14:10And look, Arsenal and Chelsea assets are
14:12so popular that I I it's not that I'm in
14:14a different boat as opposed to anyone
14:15else. So, I'm totally fine with
14:17accepting whatever comes my way because
14:19all the assets are so popular. Okay, so
14:22I will get Consa for sure. Um, so he's
14:26another nailed selection. The fact that
14:27Moshka sort of walked off yesterday with
14:31an injury makes Cona quite a reasonable
14:34selection I would think. Then I think I
14:36have to pick at least one U Newcastle
14:39defender. And this could be Hall or
14:42Theo, but I currently have Hall in my uh
14:44draft because he has hit defcons in both
14:48games so far. This is a bit of a tricky
14:50one. I'm not sure there's there's much
14:51between Hall and Theo. I can go
14:52differently, but yeah, the the tempted
14:55would have at least one Newcastle
14:57defender. And then I think I would have
15:00uh Cal Fury as well. Now, I I wasn't
15:02having a lot of confidence in Galifuri's
15:04minutes initially the start of the
15:06season, but he started really well and I
15:08it doesn't seem like he's going to lose
15:10his place anytime soon and he's quite
15:12attacking and seems to be in a in good
15:15form. I just think that
15:18ideally I want to own Gabriel at 8
15:20million, but I think I'm going to
15:21struggle to justify the price tag for
15:22him when the likes of Kansa and and
15:24Caluria are much cheaper. So
15:27>> I think Caluria is a better is a better
15:29pick than um than Gabrielle at the
15:31moment anyway to be fair. Like some of
15:33the positions that he's taking up. I
15:34think Ben White as well. I mean those
15:36guys they are like they're so high and
15:38involved um that I really it's
15:41unbelievable some of the positions that
15:42they're taking up. some of the runs that
15:43that Califf Fury in particular is
15:45making. I think I think he has to be a
15:47lock. I think I think he is like one of
15:49the one of the best FB, you know,
15:52players in the game right now. Uh some
15:55of the stuff he's doing is is crazy just
15:56like positionally.
15:58>> Okay. Speaking of uh speaking of high
16:01upside in defenders, uh the next
16:03defender is O'Reilly from Manchester
16:05City and I think he carries very similar
16:06potential
16:07>> because he's been playing in midfield
16:09and I think the fact that he has
16:11flexibility to play both uh as a left
16:14back and in midfield just gives him an
16:16extra chance of you know playing um more
16:19minutes and that just works in his favor
16:20and when you look at City's fixtures I
16:22mean they're ridiculously good
16:23especially the home games. commentary at
16:24home, Sunland at home, if search at home
16:27and uh that just tells me that you know
16:29someone like an O'Reilly can go
16:31ballistic in any one of those fixtures.
16:33So I have O'Reilly um and that's where
16:37I've sort of spent the money by not
16:39owning Gabrielle because I think he's a
16:41bit of a differential. Not too many
16:42people own him at this moment in time.
16:45The next two selections are slightly I
16:48would say dicey and I'm playing around
16:50with these slots.
16:52>> Let me try Shall I try and guess? Well,
16:53I'm I'm sure you've gone for a City
16:55midfielder
16:56cuz I think you have to have triple city
16:58on wild card when they're playing
17:00commentary at home. I just think it's
17:01and I think you just have to do it. So,
17:03I reckon you've gone for uh Ryan Chery.
17:06Is that correct?
17:08>> I've gone with Anderson actually.
17:10>> So boring. Fair enough. I like that. You
17:12know, I actually I actually do respect
17:13that.
17:14>> So that mean Okay, so that's
17:15interesting. That's really interesting
17:16to me. So that means that you are Yeah.
17:20Okay. Nice. Anderson's in 6.4 4 million
17:23as well had a price drop.
17:25>> Right. And and how much exactly in the
17:27bank? I would presume it would be 5 7 or
17:305.9 million.
17:31>> Well, it depends. It depends because
17:33these are the current prices, not the
17:34prices that you wild carded at. So, it
17:36says 5.3, but I don't know. It probably
17:38is more. Yeah. Well, like what you said
17:41for your team.
17:41>> Yeah. So, uh yeah. So, the defender that
17:43I have picked is actually a 5 million
17:45defender anyway. So, I' I've done this
17:47uh for actually my team as well and for
17:49the benefit of people who might be wild
17:51carding late. So it's it's a team which
17:52is easily affordable even if you press
17:54the trigger tonight. So I've actually
17:56gone with the one heck from Spurs. Uh I
18:00think u
18:02I think Spurs have a good run of home
18:04fixtures to come. They haven't looked
18:05all that good in the first few weeks. I
18:07understand that. But I still quite rate
18:09as a pick. And one of the reasons why I
18:11have him is because he's expected to
18:13drop in price. And at 4.9 million I
18:15think he's quite quite a good handy
18:17asset to own. Um the home fixtures when
18:20you look at Spurs I mean they're playing
18:21Everton at home which I think is a
18:24decent picture in game week four uh
18:26because India is not going to be there
18:27and then they have Coventry at home in
18:28in seven and then if you look at their
18:30run after game week nine they're they
18:32have switch and and a lot of other um
18:34favorable fixtures from that point
18:36onwards as well. So I think by going
18:39potentially saving myself a transfer of
18:40having to buy a Spurs defender at some
18:42point later. I do actually have the fans
18:44for Porro, but I think u I'm not so sure
18:48about him because he's he seems to have
18:50lost set pieces and he wasn't taking set
18:51pieces in in the previous game against
18:53Newcastle. So I think that one heck for
18:55for the defcons and for his price is
18:57probably better value for money anyway.
18:59So this is what I have right now and
19:02obviously there are a couple of slots
19:04that are up for debate. I have Anderson
19:05because I I know a lot of people will be
19:08going for Churkey over Anderson, but I
19:09just think that Anderson is way more
19:10robust as a pick in the sense that uh
19:13he's more reliable in terms of his
19:14minutes. With Churkey, I don't know
19:16whether he's going to play that often if
19:18he puts in one bad performance. I think
19:20he's at big risk of getting dropped,
19:22especially with the number of midfield
19:24options that City have available. I know
19:26that Turkey uh braced in the previous
19:28game but he had he had an interview in
19:30the previous game in which he said that
19:32the manager was going to take him off at
19:33halftime and he requested the manager to
19:34give him an additional 10 minutes and
19:36then in that spell he scored and he that
19:39is why he got you know some extra
19:40minutes. So I do understand the upside
19:42with Turkey but I think that uh given
19:44the sort of play style that I have which
19:46is quite conservative and risk averse I
19:48would rather be in a position where I'm
19:50saving as many transfers as possible and
19:52then seeing where I end up with uh with
19:54this team because I think with this sort
19:56of team I can potentially save three to
19:58four transfers in the next three to four
20:00weeks.
20:01>> Yeah, I I do like this team a lot. It's
20:02good. It's very solid. Um what I will
20:05ask you now is for game three, what
20:08would your starting 11 be?
20:12It's actually a very good question. I
20:14think I would probably be benching Xiao
20:16Pedro from my front eight. I would
20:19prefer Palmer over him because Palmer's
20:21on penalties and obviously I think for
20:23example Sangare Sun at home crosses
20:25leads at home can't city Kazums I can't
20:28bench them. So I think Jao Pedro
20:30naturally would be the one who would be
20:31the makeweight. I obviously have to
20:33start Califuri given how good he's
20:36playing and then obviously O'Reilly will
20:38play and I I presume that the final
20:39defender will be Lewis Hall.
20:41>> Yeah.
20:41>> So yeah, this is uh this is exactly
20:44>> Vaner. No, sorry. Yeah, sorry. No, as in
20:48I misunderstood. Yes, your final
20:50defender starting. Yeah. Okay. Okay. I
20:53like it.
20:53>> Something like this. And it would have
20:55just three players from Arsenal and
20:56Chelsea, which is very very acceptable,
20:59I would say. So, it solves the problem
21:01of overloading on Chelsea and Arsenal
21:04like you suggested in in the video
21:06earlier.
21:06>> Yes, it does. It does. Um, I'm not sure
21:10about benching Pedro, but I could I
21:12suppose away at Arsenal.
21:14I don't know if that makes sense. I
21:16mean, Arsa have been so good, but
21:17Chelsea have been so good going forward.
21:19Anyway, that that game is really
21:21interesting. I'm not quite sure how I
21:22see that one going. Let's reveal your uh
21:25Oh, interesting. 89% for for gameweek
21:29three is your team rating, which isn't
21:32very good, but I think it's hard to get
21:34100% this week. I don't know what you'd
21:36necessarily need to do this week. You
21:37see a lot like, you know, if you've got
21:38your Arsenal defenders, it's the Arsenal
21:40Chelsea game makes it challenging when
21:41you're playing Palmer.
21:43>> Exactly. Exactly.
21:44>> Calior is at 3.6 when normally he's at,
21:46you know, four and a half. Could be even
21:49could be higher than that.
21:51>> You look at their predicted scores for
21:52Holl and Brenford and they're all a sea
21:54of green. So, I'm sure it'll improve in
21:56the weeks to come, but but this week I'm
21:58not not that perturbed.
22:00>> Let's have a look at gameweek four. We
22:01can just skip ahead and see the
22:03difference. 92% is strong. Uh yeah, it's
22:06a it is a very robust team as you say.
22:09Gameweek five again looking good. And
22:12then the fixtures are are good for for
22:15Chelsea in particular. Uh after that,
22:17I'm just going through and having a
22:19look, seeing how how solid it looks. It
22:21looks good. It does look good. It does
22:23look good. And guys, if you're on a wild
22:24card, make sure to go and get your wild

22:57now is the time to do it. You can also
22:59get your AI recommended transfers as
23:00well if you're not on a wild card uh
23:02like like me. Okay, I do want to I do
23:06want to ask a couple of questions though
23:08>> about this team.
23:10What happens if Konza is not the third
23:14best Arsenal slot and Saka looks really
23:18good or Ben White continues to look
23:21really good? or Mosca comes back in the
23:24team because his injury is actually not
23:25that bad and Arsenal have conceded one
23:27shot on target with him in the team. Why
23:29would you change that? Now look, I know
23:30Conzo inevitably at some point is going
23:33to become third choice, not first or
23:36second choice. That would be Celiba. So
23:38that's going to be an issue at some
23:40point as well. That's one question.
23:42That's one query I have. Let's start
23:44with that actually. What what if you I
23:46think this this boils down to me saying
23:48we've had two weeks, that's it. and and
23:52you're saying you've got a lot of
23:53information and there isn't much more
23:54information to come. I would have to
23:55disagree with that because we've only
23:56had two weeks of of games and that that
24:00like just objectively that isn't that
24:02can't be that much information because
24:03it's only been two weeks. What what do
24:05you say to that?
24:07>> My counter to that would be that look if
24:10you assume that KZA suddenly loses his
24:12position and you look at this team
24:14>> he doesn't have the position he he's not
24:16had the position yet.
24:18We're presumably thinking that with
24:20Moshkera injured, he's going to start
24:21now going forward.
24:22>> If Moscara is definitely out, do we know
24:25that?
24:25>> Yeah, potentially. Potentially. I mean,
24:27I have built this team with the
24:28assumption that Kona is a dead asset.
24:30Just by the way, so this was actually my
24:32team before the game yesterday.
24:35This assumes that Conc is a 15th player
24:38who's not going to play at all.
24:40>> You forget about Conc for a second. You
24:41look at the team with with your eyes
24:43closed and this this team is fine. even
24:45with with console not available it's
24:47robust enough that's the point of
24:49building a robust team firstly and
24:51secondly if there are any better options
24:54that may emerge at any point later I'm
24:57happy to you know swap here and there
24:59but to be very honest at at 4.4 before.
25:02Even if Kona is, let's say, missing the
25:04odd game here or there, I don't I don't
25:07mind owning him for the price because
25:09he's just ridiculously good value.
25:11>> I understand that, but is it not? But
25:13I'm I'm I think that like, you know, I'm
25:16looking at teams in my mini leagues of
25:18very engaged FP managers and some of
25:20them don't have three Arsenal players
25:21and I,
25:22>> you know, my Arsenal players have done
25:24so well so far and I I expect them to
25:26continue to do well because they are the
25:28best team in the league. I mean,
25:28defensively, they're a joke and I think
25:30that I think, you know, Sack is looking
25:32really good. Are you not slightly
25:34concerned that by going for KZA you're
25:37just you're missing out on that third
25:39Arsenal slot and it's the best team in
25:41the league?
25:42>> I think I would be closer to removing
25:44someone like Rya or a Califuri rather
25:47than removing Conc for a third actually.
25:49>> Yeah. Because I have looked at Saka in
25:51this draft for example and I can get him
25:53for Elliot Anderson and remove let's say
25:54Raya and get a cheaper keeper and and
25:57make it work. Yeah,
25:58>> that's that's obviously an option. It's
26:00just that I think that Saka's slightly
26:03expensive and 9.5 and we don't know
26:05whether he's on pens as his fitness has
26:07been shaky in the past. I'm not so sure
26:10investing that sort of money uh in him.
26:13But having said that, he could be an
26:14option because in game week six, Arsenal
26:16playing leads at home and that's a week
26:17where you can potentially even captain
26:19captain him. So I haven't really fully
26:21ruled Saka out yet because he's he's an
26:23option. Same with the Morgan Gil White
26:25actually 7.9 million is actually a a
26:27decent uh price and he's he's on pens
26:30and he's going to play every minute.
26:31It's just that they're slightly more
26:35expensive than what I would want let's
26:37say this Anderson slot to be and that
26:40then in turn impacts the rest of the
26:42draft. So haven't had space for both of
26:44them but I would be
26:46happy to accommodate them if anything
26:48changes before the deadline.
26:50>> Sure. I will say uh your forward line is
26:52that yeah, it's hard to it's hard to um
26:56put an argument against that. I think
26:57that like all three of those picks make
26:59so much sense. I think Vista is going to
27:01he is going to it looks to me like he's
27:02going to be the standout uh cheaper
27:06forward to go with and those a great
27:07entry point Bournemouth at home and it
27:09just it stays good as you said having
27:11Newcastle players in makes sense and
27:13they look really good a big fan of the
27:14manager and then just Chelsea
27:17um I suppose benching Jar Pedro is
27:20something that you're comfortable with
27:22Palmer 100% nailed I mean you're saying
27:24like Sacka is expensive it's the same
27:26amount of points as Palmer Arsenal away
27:28is a tough game but And then it's good
27:30after that.
27:31>> He's going to be my captain for Holland
27:33game four. So he's looked really good. I
27:35don't think there's a world in which I
27:36go without Palmer. He's actually quite
27:38critical to to a wild card team in game
27:41three. I think look the the sort of
27:44obvious template player that I'm missing
27:45here is Bruno Fernandez.
27:48And it feels
27:49>> what what if he does really well this
27:51week? What if he just and you think how
27:54I need him back?
27:56>> Okay. I mean I will give you counter
27:58argument. This feels very similar to the
27:59discussion we're having regarding
28:00Holland before game week one and Holland
28:03scored twice this week. U yet we're
28:06sitting here at 25k ranks.
28:09>> Yeah. Yeah.
28:09>> As long as you trust as long as you
28:11trust the process, everything will be
28:13fine.
28:13>> Yeah. Um that's fair enough. And plan,
28:16you know, any plans to get more Chelsea
28:18players
28:19>> for for the whole game?
28:21>> I think Rogers is an option. Uh PTS I'm
28:23not sure about his fitness. Apparently,
28:25he'll be available for the Arsenal game,
28:27but um I I mean a Chelsea defense is a
28:29work in progress for me. I'm sure you
28:30know I wouldn't get any Chelsea right
28:32now.
28:33>> Exactly. Given that you're a Chelsea
28:34fan, I think Roger is the only one I can
28:36potentially look at and and again, it's
28:38very similar to, you know, a Gibbs White
28:40or a um than even potentially upgrading
28:43Anderson to to someone like Saka. So,
28:45yeah, I mean, the variant of this draft
28:46would have a better midfielder over
28:48Anderson and a slightly weaker defense.
28:49That's again something that can be
28:51looked at. I don't mind Rogers as a
28:52pick, but uh historically I've sort of
28:55preferred guys who are on penalties and
28:57set pieces. So, if I'm spending more, I
28:59think I might as well go with Gibbs
29:00White at 7.9.
29:02>> Okay, that is very fair enough. Yeah, I
29:04I'll be honest. Going into this video, I
29:06was hoping there'd be more that I could
29:08uh dislike about the team and just the
29:10strategy in general. I think my main
29:12thing is still that it just feels very
29:14early and and
29:16I don't think there's as much
29:17information as we think there is. And I
29:19this always annoys me in in FPL when
29:21people say, "Well, we've got we've got
29:23like I'm not saying this is you, but I'm
29:24saying what are we going to learn in the
29:26next couple of weeks or like where am I
29:27going to make a transfer in the next
29:28couple of weeks?" It's like, "Yeah, we
29:30you don't know that because the games
29:31haven't happened yet." So that's my only
29:34thing is that I I feel like there could
29:35be more information that we get. But uh
29:40yeah, I will just show you though before
29:41we end fantasy football hubs recommended
29:44transfers for your team uh on screen
29:46right now. Now, because I've selected
29:47that you are wild carding, there are
29:48quite a lot of them as you can see.
29:52So, I'm going to I'll run through this
29:53like relatively slowly, but the point of
29:55this is objectively
29:58these moves would would gain you 32.6
30:02points in theory uh according to uh
30:05Fantasy Football Hub's projected points
30:07and and AI across the next uh six
30:11gameweeks, gameweek three to eight. So,
30:13the players that aren't in it, Palmer,
30:16Ry, they're solid picks. The players
30:18that are being replaced are not better
30:19than them. Um, Hall goes to Virgil Van
30:22Djk. Draedro leaves the team.
30:24Interestingly, Cavaluan comes back in.
30:26That's that's a downgrade, but what it
30:29enables is a bit more it's a bit more
30:31solidity across the rest of the team.
30:33Sangare is out for Gomez and then you
30:35get the the uh you get Vugan who I
30:38suppose would rotate well Ry out as
30:40well. So you you'd rotate Keller and for
30:42Brian, which apparently is a huge
30:44upgrade. Um Gabrielle would then come
30:46back in. You know, the algorithm still
30:48loves Gabrielle and Thiago would come in
30:50for for for Whissa.
30:53So what do you think about about you
30:54know, it's quite hard to sort of
30:56understand um or or compare individual
30:59transfers and moves here, but let's say
31:03this, any of the players on the right
31:04that you are considering that you think,
31:06"Oh, actually the AI likes these guys.
31:08Should I go with them?
31:11I think in an ideal world I would have
31:12considered Virgil. I I owned him for
31:14large parts last season, but Liverpool
31:16have looked uh far from a shorting
31:18defensively this season. So not so sure
31:21about Virgil. I think the only guy I
31:22think realistically I'm supposed to I
31:24might pick between now and the end of
31:26the deadline is actually Gabrielle. If I
31:28let's say upgrade O'Reilly to Gabriel
31:30and maybe you know find some funds for
31:31him. I think Gabriel longterm is a
31:33fantastic pick. It's just that I don't
31:35have the funds for him right now.
31:36>> Yeah. And if let's say something changes
31:39between now on the deadline, I think
31:40Gabriel is someone I I can realistically
31:42look at.
31:43>> Sure. Okay guys, if you'd like to see
31:45your recommended transfers, whether
31:46you're on a wild card or not, link down
31:48below. Sign up to Fantasy Football. But
31:50car, anything else to touch on before we
31:52end this video? That was very good. I
31:53like your team a lot. It's hard to It's
31:55hard to find holes in it. It really is.
31:57It's very solid. It's a very U team. I I
31:59would be very similar to it, if not
32:01exactly the same, to be honest. If I was
32:02on a wild card, I don't know where I go
32:05differently. Yeah, I'd have Malik Chow
32:06over Lewis Hall. Uh but apart apart from
32:09that
32:09>> as well.
32:10>> Apart from that, I'm really not sure. I
32:12I just think Yeah, I I do the only
32:14slight doubts that I have is just
32:17whether Saka looks amazing next week
32:19against Chelsea. I'm like, whoa, got to
32:20get him. How do you get to him?
32:22Something like that is all I'm thinking.
32:25Just because Arsenal is so key this
32:26season. I think we I think we need to
32:28have three Arsenal for the whole of the
32:29season really. Well, especially now.
32:31That's the only thing I would be
32:32slightly concerned with. Kza looks great
32:34value at 4.4
32:36but there are other 4 million defenders
32:38that are good value. There aren't many
32:39other you know elite Arsenal attackers.
32:44think if I end up picking this team Jack
32:46irrespective of what happens in the next
32:47two to three weeks I will not be using a
32:51transfer because for example my my
32:54example like even if let's say Saka
32:56banks or Turkey banks uh I for example I
32:59have Ali Dance I will not be selling
33:00Ellie Dance for Turkey even if Turkey
33:02bangs because Ellie D is just not the
33:03sort of pick you sell he's like he's
33:05more of a steady Eddie neighbor you know
33:06what you're getting with him right
33:08>> so in that sense I think if if let's say
33:11Saka looks irresistible then I might get
33:12him before game week And then by then I
33:14would I hope that I would have
33:15accumulated enough free transfers to be
33:17able to commit that sort of surgery. But
33:19you're right this draft has
33:23maybe would probably lock me out of
33:26transfer to Saka quite easily. So I
33:28think that's a very fair argument that
33:29you've made. Maybe I can sell Palmer um
33:33if push comes to shove and and maybe
33:35change in Arsenal slot here or there.
33:37But it's it's like going to be two
33:39transfers away by game week six. And I
33:40don't think before game week six I will
33:42be making any transfer to Burki or Saka.
33:45But realistically I think you're right
33:46in in pointing out that those are two
33:48players who can bang in game week three
33:49and I might want them by game week four.
33:52>> Yeah. Yeah. That that's that's that's
33:54very fair. I will ask you just one more
33:56thing as well. Have you considered just
33:58making two transfers to get Harland in
34:01and then wild carding next week or just
34:04just holding the wild card? is this this
34:05you know this wild card is the most it
34:08is the most important chip in the entire
34:10season. I think it's worth you know I
34:11mean obviously you know that but it's
34:12worth saying that this is the most
34:14important chip that we have.
34:16>> Um how have you considered that at all?
34:19>> I mean you've wild carded already but
34:21did you consider that?
34:22>> I I haven't actually carded. I've taken
34:24like a minus 48 or minus something.
34:26>> Okay essentially because I was like if
34:29if Harland gets injured before the dead
34:31end I might free hit instead. But uh
34:33yeah, hypothetically I could use two
34:35transfers. I could have used two
34:36transfers to get Holland in. But I don't
34:39want to be in a position where by game
34:40week seven I'm let's say using a wild
34:41card and then I have zero free transfers
34:43in hand. I would rather go into gameweek
34:44seven or eight with three to four free
34:46transfers and a wild card chip used
34:48rather than the other way other way
34:50around.
34:51>> Fair enough. You could
34:52>> It helps so much value as well. It helps
34:55so much with team value as well.
34:57>> Yeah, it does. But team value points. I
35:00want points and like information.
35:03could have you could have done that.
35:05Your your wild card's got an 89% team
35:07rating. This has got 88% team rating and
35:09you've kept your wild card. Looks pretty
35:12good. No,
35:13>> but I would expect some of the minutes
35:15to improve for some of the players. For
35:16example, O'Reilly, I don't think his
35:18minutes are accurate. Uh if there he's
35:19projected the right minutes, he's going
35:21to be fine. And it does improve when
35:23when you sort of look at it at a longer
35:26horizon as opposed to this week.
35:28>> Uh okay. Oh, sorry. I've realized I've
35:30even shown this on screen. I've just put
35:31Picar's. This is Picar's team um for for
35:35gaming three. It would have been I've
35:36transferred Harland in here for um Isak
35:39and then I transferred in Bruno
35:40Fernandez for Gross. Anyway,
35:44let's leave it there. Thank you very
35:45much, Picar as always. Uh enjoyed that.
35:48Yeah, again guys, I wanted to push back
35:50more, but this I really do like I I like
35:53that wild card a lot. It's it's hard.
35:54Let me know in the comments down below
35:56what do you think about the wild card
35:57team that Bar's built there. Um, yeah.
36:00>> And also, what do you think about about
36:02uh just wild carding this early in
36:04general? I want to hear your thoughts on
36:05that. Looks very good, BAR. Yes.
36:07>> Yeah. Just just one final argument. I I
36:09could hypothetically have gotten Harland
36:11and Gross like you mentioned, but then
36:13what would I do be doing for Palmer and
36:14gaming for
36:16>> uh a wild card, more information, could
36:18get injured.
36:19>> Yeah, I mean that's essentially what I'm
36:21doing, right? I'm sort of delaying the
36:22inevitable. So, might as well do it when
36:23I feel comfortable enough to pull the
36:26trigger. I say I do remember this last
36:29year and I delayed and it wasn't the
36:30right thing to do and I'm try I'm I'm
36:32slightly thinking to myself
36:36should I learn from that but last year
36:38we didn't get any more information
36:40really my team was very similar to your
36:42wild card when I wild carded but I just
36:44feel like that I just I I don't know
36:46that was slightly later in the season
36:48anyway for two weeks anyway I'll stop
36:51going on about it thank you very much as
36:53always very interesting chat
36:55>> thank you
36:56>> um thank you guys for watching and again
