Hey,le-cheaters and welcome to the I always-stained podcast.

0:19.3

My name is Josh.

0:20.5

Brandon is in India, or at least he's on his way to India. And yeah, so I'm here with a longtime friend of the pot. Dave, Regner-Loddell. Dave, how are you doing? I am great, great to be here. I have a lot of decisions to make this week. So I'm looking forward to sort of talking

0:39.0

through the state of FPL and the double game week to help sort of think through those

0:43.7

decisions. But pleasure to have me. And good to see you again, Josh. Yeah, good to see you too, Dave.

0:48.7

And yeah, I feel like of all the people I know in my personal life, I know, like, I would say in general, the kind of the people who are creating fantasy content tend to be, it tends to be a sort of more patient manager, right?

1:03.0

Like someone like, I mean, I guess you have like the funny managers, right?

1:06.9

Like the, like the people who are in like who do FPL kind of entertainment and the people who are like

1:11.1

creating you know um excel spreadsheets and and algos and things like that to help you and i feel

1:17.6

like that that group skews very patient and i feel like that that's where you are as well so i

1:22.0

feel like you have just probably had three to four transfers in the hopper basically the entire

1:26.7

season is that i mean i not to not to

1:29.7

completely one up you but i've had five transfers for about a month and like the past two weeks i've

1:35.0

essentially burned them i've went on f pl review and like the second option was just burn a transfer

1:40.9

straight up okay great and i've been on the discord even i'm like guys what the heck do I do? I've been just shuffling like, you know, six, like, fit the fender, you know, things around. So, um, actually, I'm going to have to, um, like, empty the clip this week. So that's what I'm, yeah. Yeah, it's, this is like a movement week for me. So. Well, I mean, and how are you doing in terms of overall rank?

2:02.8

I mean, are you like, are you just, are you just going from strength to strength? I mean, is it just you're into the top 5K, top 2K, top 1K. Well, that's the thing is with that flex, you would think I'm doing, I'm doing reasonably well. I'm very hot. I'm very hot. I'm 200k-ish right now.

1:59.1

Okay, sure.

2:00.3

And so having a decent season, the one thing is my team value is like horrendous. So, and actually it helped me because a month or whenever it would go, I couldn't get Saka. So I was like, whatever. I'm just going to have to fade Saka. And that actually helped me like that. That's what rocketed me up pretty well. but now I just don't have team value. So it's going to be tough for me to get in like the the dujure like Gapot plus the upgrade Rogers to a Bournemouth guy plus, you know, all this other stuff. So yeah, I have to talk through what sort of the priorities are this week. So I look forward to to that. Good. Well, yeah, I think we can get into that in just a second here. I did want to

2:55.7

just do a quick. So we're recording this while the Man United, or I should say the full of Man

3:02.1

United matches on right now. Very weird, by the way, how they reverse it in England, right?

3:07.6

If you, in America, like, the visiting team is usually listed first for a sporting event, right?

3:14.3
