Summary

In a Premier League weekend filled with talking points, one man again stole the show as Erling Haaland delivered his third hat trick of the season (in his first-ever Manchester Derby). Since GW1, the Norwegian's impact on FPL has been swift and with full force. So, what does this mean for fantasy managers going forward? How can something so certain be either challenging or fun? Or even offer a means of competition when everyone has the same gameweek captain, let alone the same forward? The Cheaters weigh in with their views on where both the fun and the strategic advantage could lie in playing the Haaland game. Plus, we debate what to do with Salah—and other Liverpool assets—ahead of the GW12 blank despite his woeful form. Hail Cheaters!

Hey, L-Chaters and welcome to the iOS stream podcast.

0:18.9

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

0:20.4

Brandon, how are you? Josh, I was concerned that this episode was going to be, you know, two 30-minute chunks. The first 30 on Elmeron and the second on Trossard. And then out of nowhere, this guy, Erling Holland, steps up. And, you know, luckily gives us something else to talk about this week. So, um, I think we've kind of got the table set for this episode. Holland, Almoran Trosser, right? What I like about Holland, too, is I don't think anyone's talked about him so far this season. It's, he's flown under the radar, you know, and so I think it's, uh, but no, I think that what happened this week with Holland is I felt like I was joking with you before I started the podcast.

0:58.0

It broke the fourth wall of sorts where there were people who there were people texting me who don't even follow, who don't even like play fantasy, you know, or like just followed that closely.

1:07.8

And even they were interested in how it impacted fantasy.

1:10.7

You know, like what is it like when this one guy just cannot stop scoring? Like, how does that, how does that change the game? And I think, you know, I think you and I both are. He's like, he's like game stop. Erling Holland is like the game stop stonks scandal or whatever phenomenon.

1:33.7

And suddenly everybody who wasn't day trading on their laptop is now suddenly like,

1:37.0

maybe I could play the GameStop game.

1:39.3

Yeah, like how hard can FPL be, right?

1:43.0

You just create a team and just Captain Holland every week every week but i i think it's it really is interesting

1:46.0

what's what's happened there and i i think uh you and i you know a few weeks ago uh both join the

1:52.1

okay i'm just going to captain holland every week and and really not um think twice about it and

1:56.9

you know i i think a lot of people have felt that way but there's been been a lot of sort of, you know, I honestly think like it's reasonable.

2:05.9

It is reasonable to not have Captain Holland every week.

2:08.7

You know, I mean, I think if you look through his first nine weeks, right, because there's this kind of almost, like you and I are actually, I think kind of optimistic about the impact of Holland.

2:21.7

I think we should talk about that in a second. i think even just if you look at his returns there are other expensive you know highly on players that have outscore him in certain weeks right so

2:28.3

you know just looking through the first um nine weeks the season is actually eight because because we

2:33.2

don't have the game week seven but you know game

2:35.2

week one he scores 13 solid so you know effectively neutral there uh yep game week two he has he scores

2:41.8

five cane scores eight kdb scores 14 right so there you go there's second weekend already outscored

2:49.5

by two of the premium assets game week three score six gets outscored by two of the premium assets.
