Hey, Ljiders and welcome to the always student podcast.

My name is Josh. I'm here with Brandon.

Brandon, how are you? Doing all right, Josh. I've finally got my old podcasting microphone sort of set up here in my new apartments. That feels good. Hopefully I'm sounding a little better than I did last week. But man, Game Week 21. We still have one more match to go. And then it's another wait for Game Week 22.

We talked a fair amount on our Patreon pod on Thursday, Josh, about, you know, this moment in the Premier League season and especially the fantasy game and how the two feel a little separate.

Like how are we motivating ourselves to stay engaged?

Because I think that's the theme of this podcast, right, is sort of this episode is,

hey, what are we supposed to be thinking about right now with regard to our teams?

Because I think it's easy to kind of let it slip away.

I think that's right. It was something that I was sort of thinking about myself a little bit,

and I thought it made sense as a podcast theme because we had a huge block of matches,

you know, like with lots of decisions to make, right? So the whole point of fantasy is to make decisions, and we have not had to make very many

decisions of light.

We had leading up to Game Week 21, very, lots of decisions, lots to think about Afcon and Asia

Cup and possible doubles and what to do and how many transfers to make,

all that.

Tons of injuries.

Tons of injuries.

Yeah.

Captain debate,

et cetera.

But we haven't really had to make very many decisions, and we kind of still don't

for a little while.
