Summary

The trauma of real life and Tom Lockyer bleeds through into this episode's recap of GW17, after which we attempt to refocus on the fantasy game and the remaining fixtures in the Premier League's festive period. With this weekend having offered renewed faith in clean sheets, we debate if manager's should reinvest in their goalkeeper and defenders—and, if so, then who?—and how we can possibly ever afford the in-form-but-extremely-expensive Trent Alexander-Arnold. Plus, we update our strategies on keeping, selling, or re-buying Erling Haaland when the time is right, and we discuss Chelsea, Arsenal, and players soon to leave for international tournaments in Africa and Asia. Hail Cheaters!

0:21.9	I keep waiting for these fixtures to turn festive, Josh. Every week, I'm like, are we there yet? And, you know, we certainly had major downbeat news with Tom Lockyer this weekend. Yes. And we're wishing the best for him. but also like there was kind of a Paul cast over the FPL game as, as a part of that. And listen, we're just trying to rustle up some eggnog and have a good time.
0:47.3	Yeah. Well, this weekend, it was, you know, I didn't feel festive when I found out that Esauk had a mystery injury. Every year this happens,
0:57.0	that you have these kind of mystery injuries that nobody talks about.
1:01.8	And for whatever reason, I've a unique ability to bring that player into my squad
1:06.4	this season. It sort of took a punt on him. It didn't really work out. I would say
1:09.8	I'm feeling festive as a person.
1:11.9	I am feeling, yeah, were these, was this a festive round of matches?
1:16.4	I would say no.

1:19.4	And then you had, obviously, the situation, Bormouth, Luton, where, yeah, so I, the, I would say, you and I, our goal on this spot is to always to make fantasy fun again, to focus on the positive.
1:33.5	I think we should briefly mention the Tom Yant Lockyer situation and just wish them the best.
1:39.5	And it brought back really painful memories of Euro 2020 with Christian Erickson. I've such a strong memory of that moment because I remember watching with my mom and who like never watches soccer slash football ever. And she was like, wait, what's going on there? Because there was a moment there. You're like, oh, my God, is this person going to, you know, expire on the pitch? It was a horrible moment.
2:02.0	And so, yeah, with Lockyer, and unfortunately, it's the second time it's happened with him.
