Summary

This weekend, Ollie Watkins defied the expectations of most FPL managers with his extraordinary 23-point haul against Brighton. That season-defining performance has inspired the Cheaters on this week's episode to look at some of the biggest fantasy picks in the game—from Salah and Son to even Erling Haaland—and reassess whether each of them is currently overrated, underrated, or properly rated by the general FPL community. Plus, Brandon's on a wildcard as we look ahead to the GW8 fixtures and our key transfer targets and captaincy options. Hail Cheaters!

Hey, L cheaters. Welcome to the always cheating podcast. My name is Josh. I'm here with Brandon. Brandon, how are you? Still smarting from that Ollie Watkins transfer. I'll be honest with you,

0:26.6

Josh. I thought about you. I did think about you yesterday morning. Yeah, we have a lot of supportive

0:32.6

listeners out there. You know, you, uh, you had a poor game week last week and a lot of people are

0:39.6

reaching out, checking on Josh. Is he okay? Or Josh. Poor Josh. How's he doing? I was getting

0:45.1

you so many comments, uh, especially from our Patreon supporters, checking in on Ali Watkins.

0:50.1

So I'm officially changing Carlton Morris's name to Morris, M-O-R-E-S-O-S-O-S-O, M-O-R-E-I-S, because what we need from him against Burnley is more.

1:03.1

Now, I'm just like a never-say-never sort of fantasy manager, and I believe it is within the realm of possibility. It is, to be clear,

1:14.9

extremely unlikely that Morris gets an additional bonus point, two more goals, and two more assists.

1:24.6

And I think he also has to catch a fly ball in his head.

1:27.5

Yeah, the fact that he, yeah, yeah, exactly like a Paul O'Neill style.

1:31.6

I think that the, uh, him scoring the goal stop that from being like an all-time bad transfer, right?

1:37.6

I think, but I, you know, a little micro story here.

1:41.4

I, um, not to brag or anything, but I did an 8 a.m. workout yesterday, Brandon, and the early matches kick off at 7.30 here in the U.S. at the East Coast. And I checked my phone right before the, it started, and I saw that Ali Watkins had scored a goal. And I was like, because that kind of immediately meant a stupid on clean sheet gone and Watkins goal which is just you even you was I wasn't even thinking about you at that moment I was just thinking about I was like well how many people own this guy and I was like you know what I just got to put this aside I got to do this workout and I was like you know he doesn't he never really he's like a one goal kind of guy. So that, that'll be fine.

2:18.2

Workout ends as an hour workout.

2:19.8

It's a longie, Brandon. A longie, but a goodie. And I get out, I'm like, wait a second. What just happened to here? Record scratch. Yeah, record scratch. Watkins on a hat trick. Walkins with two assists, a stupon with an own goal, a stupon subbed at the 45th minute,

2:18.9

which actually in the end was a relief. on a hat trick, Watkins with two assists, a stupon with an own goal, a stupon subbed at the 45th

2:36.2

minute, which actually in the end was a relief. We got saved. Could have got worse.

2:39.6

Yeah, it could have been worse, but we saved a point. So a, and you had transferred

2:46.3

Ali Watkins out for, for Morris. I think a lot, you you know many had or or would have if they hadn't

2:53.8

moved him for Morris they would have moved him for Elvarez a couple of weeks ago right and so

2:58.9

obviously his ownership is still I think something like 20 so not not crazy crazy low one of the one of

3:06.3

the top probably five most own players,
