Summary
In our second of three FPL player previews, we take a closer look at the top midfielder options and discuss where they each rank in terms of fantasy point floors and ceilings, injury and rotation risk, surrounding squad quality, and that all-important fun quotient. Always Cheating is trying something new this pre-season by working with our very own "data" model for FPL player picks, weighing factors that are uniquely important to our listeners. Listen back to our ranking of top 10 forwards and tune in next week for our defender and goalkeeper previews. Hail Cheaters!

| 0:00.0 | Hey, L. Cheaters. Welcome to the OSCEAN podcast. My name is Josh. I'm here with Brandon. |
| 0:20.8 | Brandon, how are you? I'm good, Josh. Audio fidelity is our number one chief concern, |
| 0:26.6 | and I'm glad that our IBM, deep blue computer, just the cooling fan just turned off to help our fidelity. |
| 0:34.4 | What that means is, yes, this is another preseason FPL preview in which we have |
| 0:40.0 | utilized the always cheating IBM supercomputer, courtesy of Deep Blue, the champion chess playing |
| 0:48.0 | computer. That's right. Which we used to great effect in our last episode. Did we not, Josh? |
| 0:54.0 | Great effect, great response to that pod, which was nice. It felt like we found, you know, every year you take a handful of weeks off, takes a little while to find your footing again. A lot of new players join the league, et cetera, et cetera. And so that felt like, okay, now we're back to, we're in proper always cheating |
| 1:11.4 | order. That was, that was a nice reset pod for us. So thank you to everyone who listened, |
| 1:15.9 | gave us nice feedback. We recorded that pod just three nights ago. So you and I are feeling very |

| 1:37.6 | Well, the big one that we got comments on was Nico Williams, Nico Williams, not the defender |
| 1:43.0 | from Forrest. |
| 1:44.0 | Nico Jackson or Nicholas Jackson, |
| 1:46.7 | the new forward at Chelsea, Senegalese, 22 years old, who actually has just scored while |
| 1:52.9 | we're recording this podcast against Newcastle down Atlanta here in the States. |
| 1:59.2 | So, and interestingly enough, Jackson started tonight alongside |
| 2:03.8 | Incoucou. So people who are enthusiastic about Jackson coming to Chelsea are justified, and I'm |
| 2:11.1 | wondering if we're going to have another Wilson-Esox situation on our hands with Incou and Jackson. |
