Hey, L cheaters and welcome to the always cheating podcast.

My name is Josh. I'm here with Brandon.

Brennan, how are you? Couldn't be better, Josh, just kicking back in my beach chair here on an

FPL vacation. I mean, we're in the midst of one of the longer breaks in recent memory. Are you

hanging in there? Yeah, I'm hanging in there. It's weird. I mean, FPL feels like a game I used to play.

Like, that's how long it feels like it's been.

Like, it's the kind, like, I can't deal with the like, just, I don't know, just like the, the fact that like in December there was a match, what felt like practically every single day.

Yeah.

And then in December, they played what feels like about four total games across the month. And it's, and there's not even match it was next weekend, right? Like, it's just a, it's a very long gap. There, you do have at least Watford under Roy Hatch. That's true. There is one game. Plus Burnley to look forward to. So there's that one game.

And, I mean, we, we being Americans at least had some international World Cup qualifiers to look forward to with the U.S. men's team.

And those have been pretty turgid affairs.

I mean, Canada absolutely annihilated us.

Mad, congratulations to all of our Canadian listeners.

My God, even without Alfonso Davies, you guys are like the real deal.

Yeah, there's no question about that.

Definitely, I mean, I'd say of all the, like them, they in Mexico are pretty much in, I would say.

And, you know, now the U.S. again, is going to be struggling to qualify the 350 million people.

And we, like, are like the – It's too many people, Josh. I think some might say – Is that what it is? Yeah. It's – you then have to find a diamond in the rough. Like, how – we had to go to Hershey, Pennsylvania to find Christian Pulisic. That's true. If China, India, the United States, if all of us don't qualify, there is something going on. We're in great company there. We're in great company, exactly. All right. Well, here we are. It's, you know, so first of all, first things first, thank you to Sir Tau Chai for joining us on last week's podcast.

It was a really good pod.

If you haven't listened yet, go back and go back and listen.

It's really, despite the title, it's really an introduction to data and how to data, how to use it in an FPL context.

But I really liked about it was how open it was.
