In the Premier League, everyone pushes their hardest to win. And now it's your turn. With their EPL fantasy challenge, Coca-Cola are giving you a chance to win big by beating the best. All you have to do is build a team based on rules set by an icon. And to help you on your way, I've got a tip to help you build your team. Make sure you keep an eye on fixtures.

talking about the biggest busts in fantasy for 2024.

0:58.1

Music Football Today Express talking about the biggest busts in fantasy for 2024. Adam and Jamie here.

1:00.0

All right.

1:00.8

Jamie, let's talk about some bust.

1:02.3

Do you have any at the quarterback position?

1:04.8

Yeah, I have three.

1:05.8

Their names are Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, and Jalen Hertz.

1:08.9

And because they're all going in round two, I just don't like it. So I'm not going to be drafting them. And I think you're making a mistake by drafting them that soon. Hmm. Really? Yeah. I mean, I feel like, you know, we say that a lot. Does it end up playing out that way at the end of the year? Where I feel like,

1:28.4

you know what,

1:28.9

they're pretty damn good. And a lot of the guys I drafted ahead of them are pretty bad. You know what I mean? It definitely is all about what do you put around the quarterbacks and the build that you end up with. Clearly, Mahomes last year was a bust. Joe Burrow, who I believe was going as a top five quarterback, at least early in the process was a bust.

1:45.5

You know, I think, was going as a top five quarterback, at least early in the process, was a bust.

2:18.2

You know, I think if you ended up with a guy that finished the season strong or was a, you know, consistent producer from a later spot, Dak Prescott, for example, Jordan Love, for example, Brock Purdy, for example, you know, any of those guys probably won you a lot of fantasy leagues based on how they performed based on their draft costs. So it's going to be, you know, probably people that are pro-QB, pro-drafting QBs earlier are going to argue against that. People that are going to, you know, wait on the position and end up, you know, benefiting from that, are going to argue that side of it.

2:31.2

So that's usually the side I come out on most of the time. And I just think drafting those quarterbacks in that high of a range. And like I said, I don't think we're done. I don't think, you know, seeing them 22, 23, 24, I think right now last last ADP review I did those 22, 2325.

2:32.6

I think you're going to get closer to the top 15.

2:35.7

All right.
