I'm doing pretty good, Josh, all things considered.

I mean, we'll talk about Game Week 7 and how, from a fantasy perspective, it may or may not have been an unmitigated disaster.

But the fact that the last taste we have in our mouth is that Liverpool, Manchester City match,

and in real life, what more could you possibly ask for from a day's football match?

Like absolutely, absolutely brilliant match.

It really was.

You know, the first half was cagey, but interesting. And then the second half was, uh, wide up. And I think probably because they wore each other out. I mean, it was, it was, it was so, um, you know, just the, you know, the defensive work in the first half was was so intense on both sides that I think it, you know, a lot of some openings, but the,

by extra time of that match, it was like both teams were getting like, just, you know, open like, you know, just like counterattacks where they were just like, like, bearing down. And I think it was just the, the energy was, was, was so high. And, you know, but anyway, it was really, really fun match. And yeah, it was a good way to end the first seven weeks, right?

We're about to go on an international break, sadly. And some ways, sadly, in some ways good, because I think that I feel like I needed a little bit of a reset. I had a really, honestly, I had a terrible game week. I had a really bad game wink and on kind of two

levels. Like one, um, one was that I just, it just didn't go well. Um, and two is that I was debating two moves and one move would have netted me like 20 points and one cost me like 20. You know, so I had like, like, like, like, it like, like, kind of comprehensive. It's sort of like, you know you think of like the, the season, as I sometimes do, especially in the first half of the season, it's sort of in these international break increments, right? Where you've got game weeks one through three or four, whatever it is, game weeks four through seven, uh, eight through 11, so on. Um, and I had a bad four through 7. Now, it does not necessarily, it's not necessarily

reflected in my overall rank. I think I actually went into Game Week 4 around 56,000 or something

like that. And I'm going into game. I'm going out of Game Week 7 at like $68,000. But it didn't

feel that way. And to that point point i think what we've experienced the last

three two to three game weeks is people have it was like a blockbuster of an opening of a

of a season and it was green arrows and it was um lots of fluctuation and i agree like in my rank as well, even though I feel like I've had,

we've all had bad game winks, our rank has been relatively stable. The issue is, as always

cheating would say, the lack of fun. And we haven't just or or really fallen back there everything is just kind of

flatlined a bit with fPL going into this break so i think that that's something that we need

to keep in mind it's not necessarily that uh you know we need to go to battle stations or

everything or anything like that it's just there's been a bit of a flat line.
