Summary

The season's first international break concludes on Tuesday and thus far it's been fairly uneventful. But will things stay that way? And how will GW5 be impacted? With a rocky start in FPL, Josh is already planning his first wildcard and in this episode the Cheaters debate which Premier League players have stood out, have great fixtures on the horizon, and have hopefully not traveled too far with their respective national team. Plus, we praise an in-form Spurs side, zero in on question-mark teams like Chelsea and Manchester United, and check back in on the mess of goalkeeper picks. Hail Cheaters!

0:00.0	Hey, all cheaters. Welcome to the always cheating podcast. My name is Josh. I'm here with Brandon. Brandon, how are you?
0:22.8	Josh, I am phenomenal. Though I feel like I like Rip Van Winkle waking up from a long slumber, rubbing my eyes, trying to figure out what's been going on during this international break.
0:35.1	Big thanks to Sam, who filled in for you last week, Josh.
0:38.2	It's been a while since the two of us have actually talked about what's going on with our
0:42.6	teams, what's going on with the Premier League.
0:45.3	Do you feel like you and I've got a lot to catch up on?
0:50.1	Yeah, I think the first international break is one of the tougher ones because I, you know, I often really hate it.
0:58.4	This time around, I sort of saw it in the best possible light, which was just that I have had a bad start at the season.
1:05.5	It was a couple of weeks to reset, change my thinking a little bit.
1:08.7	Actually, I don't know that I've ever had a bad start
1:11.5	before, to be, to be totally honest. I mean, I've had starts with that, that weren't awesome. Starts where I was maybe around a million or something like that. But I'd never, I'd never had to start where kind of everything didn't really click, right, where it was just sort of a lot of 50-50 is the one. You can sort of see how it can happen, right? It's, I mean, you know, I look at my team.
1:11.2	There's, there's no insane picks that. right, where it was just sort of a lot of 50-50s that went. You can sort of see how it can happen, right?
1:28.4	It's, I mean, you know, I look at my team. There's, there's no insane picks there. There's nothing, you know, there's nothing crazy. If anything, I had a team that was almost exactly like a templatey kind of team. It was just kind of the pick this player, pick this, pick that player. And it didn't work out. And so because of that, I, I feel like my feeling is more one of like annoyance than it
1:48.3	is of I'm not depressed or, you know, I'm not, like, I'm not, I'm not feeling it's, I think
1:55.6	I'm just annoyed.
1:56.7	It's like if you, I don't know, it's like if you're betting on whether the, you know,
2:03.3	a coin that you flipped in the air was going to be heads or tails and you guessed wrong five
2:07.7	times in a row or something like that, right?
2:09.9	And I don't know.
2:11.6	How is this?
2:12.3	How am I going to make this, this analogy makes sense?
2:15.7	Basically, I just feel, yeah, I just feel like I was just on the wrong side.
