Hey, old cheaters and welcome to the always cheating podcast. My name is Josh. I'm here with Brandon. Brandon, how are you? Excellent, Josh. Wow. Like, what a way to announce the new Premier League season, FPL season, points. So many points this weekend. Yeah, something for everybody. I felt like if you went with a like very standard kind of what a term that gets used a lot is the template team, right? Like a team looks very similar to what you might see on websites and social media, things like that. If we went with that, that was good. If you decided to kind of take some risks and go with SAR and maybe a couple of Chelsea players.

And like that worked as well.

If you, you know, took a gamble on someone like Ben Ramah, that worked out.

There was very few combinations outside of not owning Brito and Sal.

If you didn't have those two, you were in big trouble.

Yeah, it's like, it's like walking into a casino and somebody is yelling like, so many ways to win.

And that was the way FPL was inviting us all in. Like, it doesn't matter which slot machine you sit at.

Coins will probably be pouring out of them. And yeah, I think we do have to talk a little bit about

that template idea because there are bound to be managers

listening to this episode that are like, what did I do to deserve this by just not having

Bruno and Sala and suddenly I'm 40 to 50 points behind in my mini leagues already?

And it's, it sucks. It really does. does it's it is and and i want to i think

we both want to start by saying like wow this was such a fun weekend if f plow has one flaw it is

that um it is that the the salo bruno sort of phenomenon is is is any weekend where you try to break the norm, you can get totally buried.

Yeah.

Totally.

But I think that it's, I mean, it's rare that those two will combine for 37 points combined in an opening weekend.

I mean, absolutely insane, right?

Was it four goals and two assists total across the board? Absolutely ridiculous. And I mean, it's all I could have had more. I mean, it was kind of a wild. Brunas were like a little, I don't want to say flukier, but they were sort of like, one of them was probably offside, I guess. It's fair to say. Well, not anymore.

Not because of the thick.

I'm so, I'm actually so happy that there was a marginal offside that they told us.

I mean, so yesterday was, it was not just one of the best primarily game days that match days.
