This weekend's matches proved to be the first big stress test on our fantasy squads and the FPL template of highly-owned, highly-agreed-upon assets. So what's next? Is Raheem Sterling really going to take the game by storm? Can we trust the West Ham attack to remain this potent? What happened to Brentford and Brighton on Saturday? And which of the stock Manchester United and Arsenal midfielders would we be will to part with in favor of an in-form guy like James Maddison? To sort this all out, we play another round of buy/sell/hold debating other alluring midfield options, budget defenders, and the still-fuzzy goalkeeper picture. Hail Cheaters!

0:00.0 | Hey, L-cheaters and welcome to the always cheating podcast. My name is is Josh and who are with Brandon. Brandon, how are you? |
0:22.0 | I'll tell you what, Josh. I think that Game Week 3 was a game week that went better than we think it did. |
0:28.8 | So in true always cheating fashion, we're going to try to, you know, maintain that positive attitude. |
0:34.2 | I think there is some confusion. And the goal in this episode, right, is to clear out |
0:40.1 | some confusion with a little game we like to play buy, sell, hold. There are some very controversial |
0:46.7 | FPL assets at the moment, who's worth buying, who's worth holding, who's worth selling. It's |
0:52.4 | very straightforward. This is the perfect moment, I think, in this season to do buy self-hold. We assume most of our listeners are bond traders, and that this is a world they're going to feel very comfortable in. And so that's sort of the idea for this week's pod, Brandon, is, are we holding on to what we... Money never sleeps, nor does FPL, Judge. Yeah, exactly. I think you're right. I think it was a, I guess it was a, well, you said it was a strange game week when you and I were talking earlier. I wouldn't know, I don't know if I'd call it strange exactly, but it was one of those weeks where the, the order of events, sometimes the way you feel about a game week depends on when the good matches took place, right? |
1:29.8 | Like if the final match of the game week had been that Man United match where we got the two rash for desists, the Bernal decision. |
1:37.3 | But instead, I think I looked at it. |
1:39.7 | I think it was five of the 20 teams conceded their first goal of the match after the 75th minute this weekend. |
1:47.8 | And so, which is, I don't know, like, I mean, certainly the teams concede goals, but to concede, |
1:53.2 | especially early on in the season, but to concede for five teams to do it, and they were all kind |
1:57.6 | of highly owned, Brentford and man city and um i mean |
2:02.8 | everton they probably maybe they shouldn't be highly owned but i have Pickford along with many |
2:06.4 | others and so there were a couple of those like kind of stomach punch fantasy moments uh but i |
2:12.1 | think in general we're the flip side i'll jump in we're the flip side because you lost two clean |
2:17.4 | sheets after the 75th minute |
2:19.2 | the simultaneous kickoffs of manchester united and arsenal i lost my saliva and onana clean |
2:25.8 | sheets within roughly two minutes so yeah that's true that's true that's true it was a real yeah |
2:31.7 | for anyone who was still holding on to Gabriel and found out again, |
2:35.3 | that the, just trust me, he'll start this week, was once again. |
2:39.5 | I mean, the thing is, like, it's just so funny to me because this guy started like 60 game weeks in a row. |
