0:00.0 | Hey, L. Cheaters and welcome to the always cheating podcast. My name is Josh. I'm here with Brandon. Brandon, how are you? Doing well, Josh. I can't believe how much time we have left before Game Week 23 is actually over. |
0:29.0 | Yeah, 17 days, something like that. And for FPL managers such as yourself, Josh, captaining, Dennis, you probably wish this game week were just over right now anyhow. |
0:41.5 | Oh, for sure. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, that's right. It's 13 days until game week 23 is over, which, yeah, I have to like hope for some miracle, like they're going to review the video and decide that, that Emmanuel Dennis didn't actually foul the player |
0:55.7 | and he do. I don't know. I'm holding out hope for a miracle here. But I also have Sosco, |
1:00.8 | who has been my fifth, my final bench spot who finally gave him to start this one. You know, |
1:05.5 | people laugh at Sosco about how high he kicks the ball into the parking lot. He did score a goal, but of course, there's always a butt when it comes to Sosovo. It was a nice goal he scored, but he was offside. But I thought he looked pretty good. So if you've got Sosko going into that burn leave fixture. Why not? Dare to Dream, I think. |
1:27.6 | I was debating between him and Trassard. I threw Trossard on my bench and Drossard's on two points. |
1:31.7 | So that's a net one if, you know, at the very least. So, well, Brennan, very excited because |
1:40.0 | even though we do have two weeks until the break, we thought we would mix up our content a little bit and kind of not do the standard game week preview type stuff just because there was such a long gap. And so it seemed like a great time for us to do something that was a little bit different and talk a little bit about, you know, just what I feel like is, I mean, I don't want to overblow it or whatever, overblow it. I don't think that's an expression. I don't want to oversell it. But it does feel like we're seeing data, just like a data revolution in fantasy sports in general. But I think, you know, and that's been happening for a while. But I think in the fantasy premier league game, I think we've really seen it come through in the last, you know, I don't even know, 18 months or so, probably |
2:17.8 | really with the start of the pandemic, I'd say it. Honestly, it's really when things got started. And so we have a special guest on the podcast today. Brennan, do you want to introduce them? Yeah, we want to welcome Sartalp Chai, who comes to us by way of Turkey slash Raleigh, North Carolina. Sartalb, thanks for joining us. |
2:15.4 | And this week's always cheating. |
2:16.3 | How are you? |
2:17.6 | I'm good. |
2:18.3 | Thank you, Brian. Turkey slash Raleigh, North Carolina. Sartalb, thanks for joining us. And this week's always cheating. |

2:39.2 | Thanks for having me here. |
2:41.0 | Josh, you came to know Sartalb through this article that he posted recently. |
2:47.7 | What drew you in, my friend? |
2:50.7 | What drew me in? What drew you into this article and this |
2:54.4 | data revolution that we're talking about? Yeah, well, the article was called a friendly |
