Summary

This weekend produced a brutal run of results for fantasy managers, resulting in a low-scoring GW11 and a continuation of one of the toughest seasons in memory. Josh and Brandon look to bounce back with their upcoming trip to the U.K. and a GW12 filled with fixtures that will hopefully be easier to predict. Maybe? On this episode we discuss Arsenal's form and injury crisis, as well as Darwin's double personality, Doku's sudden emergence, and Watkins' mysterious track record.

If you're in the London area, please join us for a listener meet-and-greet this Friday, November 10, at The Dugout at Belushi's London Bridge starting at 7:00 PM. No ticket required, 18+ venue, cash bar. Hope to see you there!

0:00.0	Hey, L-cheaters and welcome to the always cheating podcast. My name's Josh. I'm here with
0:20.0	Brandon. Brandon. Brandon, how are you? How are you? How are you? Brandon, I'll say it three times, three different ways, because I want to know how you are after the worst game week of all time. Are you, are you shaking it off?
0:33.8	At some point, I just, I wasn't, I was just, I mean, I was annoyed like everybody, but
0:40.0	I wasn't like mad.
0:41.5	It was just so ridiculous.
0:43.1	At some point, like the ridiculousness gets so bad that you're like, okay, whatever.
0:46.7	Like, it's hard to, it's hard to stay mad when it gets that ridiculous.
0:50.6	Yeah, because at that point, who's at fault?
0:53.8	Is it the game or is it you who is staying with the game for low these many seasons? You know, it takes two to tango.
1:01.1	Yeah, he's the sucker. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, it feels more and more like week to week. We're war correspondents on always cheating and we're coming to you from the battlefield and sort of like behind us is all of this insanity happening and we're trying to make sense of it for our audience and yeah really it's kind of like you got to be here to understand what's going on in fPL right now yeah i was trying to think always this way? And do we, and is it every season that
1:29.5	we do this? And then we're like, it's never been this chaotic. It's, you know, and then,
1:33.9	but actually every single season, it's like this and we just somehow forget. And it's because we
1:38.5	trick ourselves that we keep playing, you know, but I don't think so. I think that typically you have some good solid weeks
1:47.4	and like every six weeks or so you get a real stinker where things just don't go great. But I
1:53.4	feel like what we've had are some like proper catastrophes this season, some like real like virtually
2:00.2	nobody blanks and your entire team level
2:02.6	catastrophes. And that feels a little more unique. Like I would say Holland blanking at home to
2:08.1	Bormouth and Sala blanking away to Luton Town, those are surprising and pretty unusual.
2:15.7	They're not impossible. No one has ever 100% to score or assist or anything like that, right?
2:20.0	So I don't want to make it sound like this is, you know,
2:22.0	a statistical impossibility or something like that.
2:24.6	But it is very unlikely.
