#3 Bench Boost Draft + Chelsea Preview

Pallon edelleen pelissä, kun jännitys nousee ylä ilmuhin asti ja DNA opistaa taas parastaan. Sieltä saadaan timan tinen syöko kuin lautasellaan nimittäin paljon liikaa viapleitotaalilla DNA asiakasetuhintaan. Ahjaita on ne mua. Niin soa, elämä on. Luoma autopakoutuksessa kuin patonkivaarissa täytteen herkkuja, kuten palo, ilkivalta, varkaus, lunastusetu, lasiturva ja sijaisa auto. Suomen suosituin autopakoutuskorvaa arvaamattomat ja arvattavat vahingot, lähitapiologista fikalta auto, palvelun tarjoavat lähitapiologian vahinkoja alue yhtiät, lähitapiolog samalla puolella. Joo. Joo. Joo. Joo. Joo. Joo. Joo. Joo. Joo. Joo. is if you go mascara, for example, over Gabriel, that 2.5 million goes a long way, and then it allows you to keep Harland and Brinnell. And you can even get a couple of those midfielders, suboslyverts, some annual in Wemmo. You can have a few of them, you might not be able to have all of them if you've got Brinnell and Harland, but yeah, I'm just not gonna compromise in those two. Because Brinnell plays two brimless teams, I don't care whether I cap them or not, I want his points. And the same goes for Harland, I just like them to start as well. And it's much easier to jump off them than it's to get to them later on it. I don't want to commit to an early wildcard either. I like to leave the option open of playing it much later if things go well. So I will have Brinnell, I will have Harland, unless there's major noise from Manchester City, close to deadline that Harland's not gonna start. And as we know, we often get team leaks from An City, they don't play Friday night, I'm pretty sure and give me one. So we probably won't get any team leaks, but you never know, we could get news Friday ahead of the city game at the weekend if Harland is gonna play or not. So obviously that would be, that would throw the cat amongst the pigeons. I really hope that doesn't happen. I hope we don't get a leak that Harland is not gonna start because yeah, I don't wanna build a team without them and then have to figure out how to get them soon afterwards. Question from Gogganau. What do you think about Sondorlin for the first three or 10 game weeks? I like that question. How do you go from three to 10? And Gogganau says, "I've got riffs in my draft despite the price and would like an offensive asset. Have got Brobee, but not quite convinced on his end product. Who'd potentially go for ball art and Lafay?" See, Sondorlin and our team had a really good season last year, they're one of the very few teams in the leagues that have the same manager as last season. Don't think they've made too many signings. So we're gonna hopefully get similar from them, which was quite a few good FPL assets last season. So I do like, I think riffs is, he's gotta be in the conversation with the other five million goalkeepers. I prefer just dropping down to 4.5 and having that cash saving because there probably will be 4.5s that outscore riffs, but just getting, you know, figuring out who that is is gonna be the hard part. Brobee, I think it's a good option. I'm seeing them in teams, not everyone likes Calvert Lunas much as I do. Calvert Lunas in a quarter of FPL teams. He's in 99% of teams I see on X and on Blue Sky and on Discord, et cetera. But in the grand scheme of things, Calvert Lunas, not in every team. He's only in one and four. And you're seeing Brian Brobee and other teams. You're seeing Igor Jesus. Some people are maybe going cheaper, McBurnes of the world, 5.5 million. Amazon delivery arrive and hopefully that doesn't make too much noise in the background. So yeah, I like Sondorlin. I like the keeper. I like ball art. I think Lafay is a very good pick who I'm seeing a lot of teams as well. And Lafay might end up making an end to my game at one team in that six to six 1.5 million price bracket. I'm pretty set on going Calvert Lun over Brobee. So I think I'll skip him for now. And then we've got TriHum, who is a defender in FPL 4.5 million. He got loads of minutes last season. I think he did play about 3000 minutes last year. But the most intriguing thing about him is he's been playing on the wing in preseason. And he's, I think he's played every minute of preseason as well. So we could have an outer position. Sondorlin defender for the first couple of game weeks at a minimum. So a spoiler alert. Hume is in my latest bench boost one draft because he plays Ipswich in the first game week. So I'm going to be all over that as a potential out of position prospect for some attack and returns. But plenty of options at Sondorlin. Hopefully again, the season question from Nick Boonstra. Does it feel harder than usual to keep 0.5 in the bank this year? Or is that just me? Nick, it always feels hard to keep 0.5 in the bank I think most people listening and watching will know how this feels. You build a team. You say, right, I'm going to try to keep 0.5 in the bank here. And 90% of the time you end up with 0.0. But we should all try to keep 0.5 in the bank more important than ever, I think, this season. Because price changes could be a little bit crazier than ever. They're always crazy for us two or three game weeks. But they're going to be on the FPL website themselves. It's a health season, which is probably going to make people more trigger happy. So I got 0.5 in the bank in my current draft. I'm going to try and make that last right up until the deadline, regardless of what changes I make between now and then. It's always a sensible approach to keep that 0.5. It just makes your first transfer a lot easier when the price changes kick. And question from a FPL Mara. FPL Mara is thinking of setting up a team and sticking with them until the international break, as long as there's no major issues, so that I can get a mini wildcard with five free transfers. The start of the season is always crazy. So although I might fall a little behind, I'll have more info to act upon and possibly get ahead of others. Totally viable strategy. You know, I think most people will make transfers, give me two, give me three. Depending on how certain picks perform, a lot of people I think will wildcard early this season, even as early as game week three, game week four. If you can be ultra disciplined and ultra patient, get the five free transfers at the first international break. If your team can just get through the first four or five weeks and an ideal scenario do pretty well. And then you've got all those transfers and still be able to keep your wildcard for much later. That would put you in a strong position. But what I'll say is good luck with that, because being patient is the hardest thing to do in FPL. Especially gaming two, gaming three, bandwagon, start of Mergen. Players you picked don't perform as you hope they would because we will all make picks that don't perform. So it'll be very, very difficult to do. So but I do like the underlying idea there, Mara. And it's something we should all probably think about doing as well, just to have different strategies in mind. One more question before I get to my latest draft from FPL doc. A general goalkeeper strategy. If we're picking a 4.5 and a 4 million keeper, then almost 50% of that 8.5 million keeper budget is dead and never used and have no benefit to you. But if we pick 2.4.5 goalkeepers, now all of that money is working for us and we can rotate them. So why do so few do it? Do you think? I think one of the main reasons people don't rotate goalkeepers is born out of previous experience and frustration. Because what often happens is if you've got, for example, Verbrugan and Kenski, 0.4.5, great for a bench boost, early doors, but then you're going to have to decide which one to play every week. And what you'll usually do is play the keeper with a better fixture. Let's say Kenski is playing Hol City and let's say Verbrugan is playing Manchester United away. What often happens is Hol City score. Kenski doesn't keep a clean sheet. Verbrugan makes loads of saves. Against United, it doesn't even need a clean sheet. Maybe gets a bonus pointer too. And any out scores, your bench goalkeeper, and it just gets annoying. I know we're all humans. If we were robots, we wouldn't let that bother us. But it's just very frustrating when that happens. And even though you say there, you're trying to get an extra 0.5 million working for you, but you can also do that in your start and 11. And you know, I much prefer, for example, the 4.5 million defenders are much better than the 4 million defenders. So that's why I go there. Set and forget goalkeeper. You know, goalkeepers don't get all their points in good fixtures. They get them across a range of fixtures. For example, penalty saves, I don't have the data on this, but you would think a team is more likely to consider penalty against a good team that spends more time in the opposition box. So a goalkeeper playing against Manchester City or Arsenal are more likely to concede a penalty. And subsequently, the goalkeeper has a chance to make a penalty save, which penalty saves often skew the points, tallies of goalkeepers during an FPL season. So I'm very much of the traditional approach. Get yourself a 4.5 set and forget. Get a 4 million non-play an option as a backup. Because we don't have any 4 million goalkeepers this season. At the moment, at least, that are going to play. We don't have a due Bravkir, for example, which we had last season. But I'm probably going to start with 2 4.5s because of the bench boost. That's the only reason. If I wasn't bench-bushed in early, I would go 4.5, 4.0. And then I would look to get the 2 4.5 million guys when I wildcard for a bench boost at a later date. And maybe by that point, we have a 4 million option that hasn't merged. And hopefully that covers some of your questions. And there, FPL doc. So on to my latest draft. And then we'll get to the Chelsea chats. My latest draft is set up for a bench boost in Gameweek 1, 0.5 million in the bank. My 2 goalkeepers haven't changed for ages. We're brooding and Ken Ski just feel like good picks in their own right. And I like both of them for a bench boost in the first game week. I will start with the forwards. And I'll work my way back because it's probably the forwards haven't changed a lot for me. I'd say it's about three weeks since I changed the forwards. Erling Haaland, Joe Pedro, Dominic Calvert-Lewen. If there's no new information between now and the deadline, that will be my three forwards. I'm doing very, very little tinker in FNA in that position. Midfielders, Bruno Fernandez will definitely be in. I'm pretty sure Pascal Gross is going to be in as well. Again, he'll be part of the bench boost in Gameweek 1. And then he's got some good fixtures, you know, over the first five games as well. For the first time, I have put in Bren and Wemmel. And I'm not alone there. A lot of people are doing the same thing because I was looking at short and lamens initially, but when you take lamens out for a 4.5 goalkeeper, it opens the door for Brian and Wemble or Cunha. You know, double management attack for two promoted fixtures, just as FPL is at its most simplest, you get in Wemble for two games and then he is a great placeholder for Semenyo or Verts or you know, it's not too much of a stretch to get to a Sack or a Palmer from an Wemble for example. So he's a good placeholder, he's got good fixtures and he's a proven FPL asset. So I think in Wemble, Wemble, he's got a very good chance of being in my team alongside Rino and then the lever pull spot in my midfield has changed from Suboslight to Florian Verts. I am completely torn on that decision. Verts is 0.5 more, he should play closer to goal and get into better goals, scoring possessions, but Suboslight has better death comp potential, he probably takes more set pieces and probably has a better chance of taking penalties, although I think if Esaxx on the pitch out, I would expect Esaxx to step up, but we're going to have to hopefully find out that I find that out pretty quickly and then adjust our picks off the back of that. But for now, I've switched Suboslight out and I put Florian Verts in and the final midfielder is a 5.5 million midfielder who we are all hoping is going to be a defensive contribution monster in his first season in the Premier League. It is Mamadou Sengari from Rennford. I've been familiar with this guy for a couple of seasons, playing other fantasy formats and he's an absolute machine, a brilliant player for for Defcon, 5.5 million. I expect him to go straight into the Brentford team in Gimic 1 at home to Tottenham and I like the idea of just going there and hopefully I would love to have him for 38 game weeks. If he is going to be the Defcon guy that we think he is because if he's anything similar to Elliott Anderson last season, I don't want to make the mistake of being really slow to get the Defcon guy. I didn't get Anderson probably until after Gimic 30. He did really well for me in the last San Raid Gimics but I was very late to the party and I'd like to be one of the first at the party for Sengari. So Sengari goes in and he's a budget enabler as well. So I'll try and get a read on Brentford starting level with Gimic 1 next week closer to kick off. So I've got Brino Gross in Buehmel, Verts and Sengari in defence. I've got two defenders who have been in every draft and predisher. Moscaira and Luke Shaw. No reason to take them out. No reason to tinker. The only reason I would change is if Moscaira doesn't play the community shield but he's going to play. The other three defensive swats are in flocks all the time and I'm sure it's pretty similar in your team. The defence I think is changing more than any position in my team. I've currently got Trifum out of position prospect at Sunderland. For the upswitch game, I've got Leaf Davis in the same fixture. I did have Diorp I think on the last episode. Leaf Davis just for the attacking potential on a bench boost. Score two goals on a preseason game recently. Wonderva left foot. He's just more fun than a Defcon guy but you know I might end up on a 4 million Defcon guy instead but trying to level a little here if I can. And then I've got a dual road on at 4.5 million. Think road on's are really good 4.5 defender who has Defcon capable he plays for a pretty good lead side. You had a very good season last year. So road on is one that I kind of earmarked myself before a crisis came out that if he was 4.5 that I would like to go there. So I'm going to try and keep him in for this first game week as well. So again just to run through it for Brighon and Kinske. Shaw, Hume, Moscaira, Davis and Roadon. Brino Gross and Wemovert, Sengare and then the template from 3 of Erling, Jörp Eidro and Dominic Calvert Lewin. So that's where I'm at with 10 days to go. We'll see how much changes between now and kick off. Thank you for listening folks. Happy Tinkerin. Talk to you again next week. Talk to you in Monday. I'll record Monday morning. Sunday night Monday morning. You'll get it on Monday hopefully. And then we'll get another one out Thursday or Friday with as much information as possible and close to the first deadline.

Plenty more guests to come this season. Talk to you soon folks. For this next section of this week's episode, I'm delighted to be joined by Tom Johnson who is Deputy General Manager at Fantasy Wapplescout and he is a regular attender at Stanford Bread. So no better man to talk about Chelsea assets going into a new season than Tom. Tom, great to have you on the show. Thanks for accepting the invite. How you doing and how is your preseason tinker in going? Yeah, thanks very much Mark. It's good to be here. I've interviewed you plenty of times on scouts. So it's nice to have the roles roles reversed. But yeah, my tinker is good. I'm sitting up set up on my strategy just trying to fit in the last players and yeah, the pin down which Chelsea players I'm going to have. Bench boost or no bench boost? Yeah, bench boost one at the minute. That's because that's what I like to hear. That's my plan as well. So I know you're a busy man Tom, so I won't keep you too long. So let's get straight into it. So we're going to talk Chelsea at disappoint in 10th place. Managed last season. The only managed 52 points, spots, lots of excitement this year new manager. Chabby Lonzo comes in. No Europe to worry about, which is hopefully good news for us FPL managers and we can we can square the rotation that happens with the the European team. So what are you expecting from Chelsea going into the season? And I'm going to ask you for a league possession prediction as well. Surely better than 10th this year. Yeah, definitely. I mean, yeah, there's I think the vibes are good around Chelsea with the new manager. This the sort of the preseason reports seem to be that everyone's buzzing that Chabby Lonzo's in charge that Cole Palmer's happy, which is always a good thing. Preseason's been a mixed bag results wise, but you know, you can't read into that. We've it's looking good in terms of the players obviously, Palmer and Gelpedger had the whole summer off, which has been great, which will be great for us. I'm pleased with the signings. And yeah, expectations have got to be top four. I think I'll predict we're going to come third, which is a bit big. Yeah, I was in Man United for third in my opinion. Yeah. But like it wouldn't massively shock me if we were kind of, you know, up near the top but after the first few games and people start talking. But yeah, we yeah, if we can sort up the defense, I think we can we can push on. Yeah, exciting season for sure. Certainly as a as an outsider, I'm excited to see what Chabby Lonzo brings to the table. There's obviously a incredible squad of players there with Kaysero's and Angel Fernandez, etc. Hopefully we get Cole Palmer back to his best, of course. So just on fixtures, just a reminder, Chelsea start with up until the first international break. They've got full of my way to start with Brighton at home. Arsenal away, which is the tricky one in game, you three, but then they come into whole city at home and ran for the way. So overall, I quite like the Chelsea fixtures. I'm certainly interested in their picks. So we'll talk about a couple of players now. Well, folks on the new signings, first of all, and get Tom's thoughts. We've got Laquois, who's come in from Crystal Palace. He's a six million defender. We've also got Polestra, who's a 5.5 million defender, who's come in from Serie A. People are getting excited to talk about is he going to be the next Marcus Alonzo? So just on the defenders, first of all, any thoughts on those as give me one pegs Tom? Yeah, I think before we talk about the defensive plays, probably worth just mentioning the system because there's been all sorts of three at the back shot since Javi Alonzo signed. That's what he did at Labour Cousin. And it was very effective. The first few friendlies we played a back four, which was a surprise, but maybe not a surprise when you basically considered that Reese James isn't involved yet. So I think for me, that's the kind of biggest reason to play a back three would be having Reese James as a right-sided centre back. And then, like you say, we've bought Polestra, who, you know, I don't particularly see why we would have bought him if Reese James was just planning to play right back all year when we've only got one game a week. So for me, that does scream that we're going to play three at the back. We play three at the back enough. In our final friendly against Milan, AC Milan, we beat them three no and we've played it back three in that one. So yeah, I think we're going to play a back three. We've already, we've also bought a new left wing back from Rail of Alicano, not announced at the time recording, but it's kind of just been confirmed by the best journalist. So we've got a Cucurello replacement for the left. And yeah, kind of another profile thing is that Hato is not really an attacking fallback. So you would think he's going to tuck inside and back up Colwell. But yeah, Laquire coming in is great for us. We've been needing a centre back for a couple of years. He's obviously going to replace Chalabar for far less suspended from Gameweek 1 through to 3. I've really got a red card last season. So I would say that Laquire will come straight in and Polestra will definitely start Gameweek 1 as well. Potentially as a wingback, maybe we go fall back for the first game if Reese James is not available after the World Cup. But yeah, for me, the defensively in fantasy, I think Colwell is the interesting one at 5.0. Yeah, he's kind of forgot my own Colwell, isn't he? We can touch him now, 5 million and pretty sure he is. And again, if there's going to be a wingback system, maybe some of the wingbacks might be more prone to rotation than the centrebacks, we often see that. And apparently Laquire obviously, op-class defender Colwell. coming in you would imagine when he's fetty plays almost every game. So I'll put you on the spot. Who is your favourite defensive pick then? Forget about the goalkeeper for now. You think it's going to be cool though? For game week one, I would pick Pelestra if I was playing an early World Card. I think it will just be worth it because I think he's going to start and he's very attacking. He gets forward. He's played left wingback and right wingback in preseason so far. And yeah, we're unsure and James didn't acquire it at the minute. So our final friendly is Saturday. They're back in training today tomorrow, so about Wednesday. I think the choir will probably come straight in but it'll be slightly less surprised if we James missed the first game or two. Yep, good insight there Tom. Thanks for that. We will talk about Morgan Rogers who those of us who play in FPL for a couple of years. We know all about him. He's now a Chelsea player. Lucky for you as a fan. I would love to have Matt Manchester United. He's 7.5 million a season in FPL. He's currently 28% on. Looking back on the last couple of seasons, he got 18 attack and returns last season. He got 19 returns the year before that. So he has been very consistent. So where do you see Rogers fitting into this Chelsea team? Is it going to be on the left wing? Yeah, I mean, this is another reason why I think we'll be playing it back three because he's kind of tailor made for that left hand position with Palmer. Him and Palmer behind Gel Pedro would be my prediction for a first choice team. And then a winger like Esteval or Neto as a winger to fit in some extra width. Possibly Neto played there in the last friendly. He played right wing back and Pellestra shifted left. So yeah, Rogers he'll be playing on the left wing or the left side at 10 more predominantly I think, although again, we won. Less of an option for me. I think you just have to go and boom out for two weeks and then you can always move to Rogers and get in week four for whole city. Yeah, it makes a lot of sense. I'm seeing a lot of that. I'm seeing it. It's been reflected in the ownership. I'm seeing a big movement towards Brown and Boem on out. You know, as we get closer to kick off, people are just looking at those first two fixtures from Manchester. And like you say, in Boem was a perfect place older, let Rogers get back, have him in the word cop, get up to speed and then we can always, always jump over to him. So I think Rogers going to be very, very popular asset. He was in my first draft. I don't think I'll start with him in game week one, but I expect to be going there, you know, pretty quickly after that. Just on the other sign-ins, maybe not as important as Pellwise, we have Barco back in the Premier League. He was a Brighton. We all remember when As said he was going to be the best things in the slice bread and it didn't really work out. He's now in midfielder at 5.5. So probably not going to be in the equation from game week one. And then we have, I've called him the over 35s. I myself have recently joined an over 35s team of, and I could have Jordan Henderson and Danny Wellbeck are both eligible for that team, but I'm playing over 35s on a Friday night in Scotland there, they're playing for Chelsea at the right ball day. So any thoughts on those Wellbeck in particular, do you think it'll impact your Pedro's minutes much? I think, yeah, so just quickly, well, Barco and Henderson, I mean Barco, apparently, we bought him from Straussburg, so that's also the club that we own as well. So apparently it was kind of a deal because other clubs were sniffing around, so he's still got on loan, I reckon, depending on if we buy another kind of a grade midfielder, so they wouldn't worry about him. Same with Jordan Henderson, he's there for the leadership that we massively lacked last year. But Danny Wellbeck, yeah, I expect he'll get some minutes, but as we saw in the last friendly, he started up front and Joe Pedro just dropped back into the 10s, so yeah, he's not going to be rotating Joe Pedro unless he has to, you know, he's our best player, and at the minute he's our best player, so yeah, I wouldn't be too concerned about Wellbeck impacting him. Cool, perfect segue. So Almond is almost as if you're looking at my notes at the same time as I am. Joe Pedro, £7.5 million, he is the most popular Chelsea assets at the time of recording, he's 55% owned. Last season, he scored 15 goals and he got nine assists, and that was in 2658 minutes. So it wasn't even as if he, you know, got the maximum minutes and played every single game. So he had a very good season last year, and my question to you is for Gimli, one given his ownership, given what he's done, given his price, is he an essential pick? I would never say anyone's a central person, I think you have to do what you want to do, but for me, he's never been in doubt, that's for sure. He's just getting better and better as a player. He's scored five goals in a season already. He's absolutely nailed on. He's played, he's had a summer off, so he's in great condition. And yeah, as you say, 15 goals without a single penalty. For me, he's the second best forward, and I think he'll prove to be that. He obviously, last season, everyone started with him, and he did well, he got massive holding in, we two, and then scored in, we three. So I'd expect him to come out of the blocks, blocks flying again. So yeah, he's definitely in my team. And I think he should be in everyone's. Yeah, good to hear that, because he's in my team. You said earlier, the summer off, and thanks a huge factor for himself and Cole Palmer, who we'll talk about in a second. I think my first draft in preseason, I had Oli Watkins, but every draft since it's been Joe Pedro just savings 0.5. And yeah, I just like, I just like the pick, it's a bit of an old brainer for me. I think the four words are probably the easiest part of our teams to pick this preseason, unless something happens in the next 10 days or so. But I think yeah, Joe Pedro is rightly very, very popular. On to Cole Palmer, 9.5 million this season, Rice Drop, he's only 11% owned at the time of recording. So a bit of a differential looking back on his past three seasons, starting from the furthest one back, he got 244 points. He followed up with 214. Last season was his disappointment, only 114 points. So 100 points less than his previous season. I'm going to ask you to, what is your points production this season for Cole Palmer, if he stays injury free? I would say, so if we, so what you got, you got 10 goals in two assists last year. If we say maybe 40 and 15 goals, that's another 20 couple, I don't know, six, seven more assists. So that's 21. So I'll go like 160, 170. I think, I think it will happen if it's capable, if he's capable of regaining the form he had under pochettino. You know, that season, he was, he was our only proper, you know, he was our really our only goal scorer, we were so reliant on him. So now we have gel Pedro and Morgan Rogers, maybe even some wingback attacking stuff. If that's the system we played, there is less pressure on him to perform. He's not, he hasn't got the whole team on his back, like he did under poch. But he's still got penalties, he's still a brilliant player. But yeah, so I'll go probably 170. Yeah, I think that's a sensible production. I had an absolute disaster last season with him. Obviously, I didn't have salad, I didn't have halas. So I needed col Palmer to do well and trust me to pick the season where he only gets 114 points, many of which I captained and didn't get much from. So hopefully, I think we're all hoping col Palmer has a better season because we'd love to have them at 9.5 million in our teams. I'll quickly mention goalkeeper Robert Sanchez, he's 5 million this season. Do you think he should be in the goalkeeper conversation or should we be looking elsewhere? I think you could do worse, but I would probably stay clear just because we've got another goalkeeper called Mike Penders, who was on loan last year and he is really highly rated. He's the reason why we haven't bought a new one because they don't want to block him. So I expect he'll have a season playing in the cups for him. It's a bit annoying. We don't have Europe to rotate him in for, but look if Sanchez got a red card, missed a couple of games and Penders did well. I think he does a very high chance. He stays in the team. He's super highly rated. He's better with his feet. I've always said Sanchez is a good goalkeeper, but if you keep it simple for him. Javi Lanzo said that Sanchez didn't interview the other day because he loves the manager. He's looking forward to the season. So he's definitely going to be number one to kick off, but you potentially only two or three bad games away from a swap because we're going to have a number two that is really highly rated this year. Yeah, and I think my thinking on Chelsea as well as an excite and season, Javi Pedro called Palmer. We mentioned Polestra possibly being a very exciting wingback. We've got cobbles only five million, so you probably don't want a Chelsea goalkeeper pick. You might end up on three Chelsea outfield players. So I think that's the main reason I'll probably swear them just to keep those three doors open outfield. So just quickly mention one or two more before I get your closing thoughts on Chelsea Pex. We can't mention Colwell and Reese James. Do you have any love for Angel Fernandez? Moises, KC. There was a P.L. Pex and you mentioned Estava as well. So you can cover him again if you want. Yeah, Estava, I think it could be great. If we play a, if we don't play a back five and he gets some, some minutes on the wing, he could be an option. So I want to look at Enzo. I'll have to see if he stays. I wouldn't be going anywhere near him until the first of September. But I mean, he said that he would obviously improve the team if he does stay. Reese James again, I have a feeling he'll be pushed as a centre back. So focus on the wingbacks. Colwell I think will be popular. Game week five could be a good swap from Harry Maguire. He's back fit now. So yeah, he's five million. If we'll have to see if there's any depth on differences. Tim and Laquire, but at five million, he could very much be valued expecting to start every game that you've fit for. And then Kaysedo is someone that I have considered to be fair. Like when you're looking in that bracket, you've got Ampadoo. Gross doesn't really get Defcons but he isn't paled to use Ampadoo's there. Norgard of course. So yeah, if someone's put him in as their 5 and a half, I don't really have a problem with that. He took some corners in the last friendly, which was interesting. So we'll have to see if he stays on them with reshames in the team. Yeah, you've definitely got to be worth. Yeah, he's got to be in the conversation when we're talking about players like Sengare and Norgard. But again, it probably comes back to me, the similar situation with Sanchez. I'm probably going to want three more exciting GLC players than Kaysedo. But we should start last season, he was scoring bangers. I think he scored a banger in the last week or so as well, just to remind us of what he can do. So yeah, I always wanted to keep an eye on, but he doesn't struggle getting to our team. So we'll wrap up Tom. Go ahead before I just imagine. If Sengare was got injured on the eve of the season or gross gets injured in the conference league, it's definitely something I would consider to sit to, I guess, save the bench boost to just pop Kaysedo on it. Yeah, and it's one of those as well. I think when we pick a player sometimes we think we need to have them forever, but he could just come in and do a job for a couple of game weeks and you could always jump off then to free up that GLC spot. So yeah, good to give him a mention. I'll finish up. The last two questions, Tom, are pretty similar, but the answers might be slightly different just because of, you know, world cops and all that kind of stuff. So who are your top three Chelsea picks for the season for FPL and which Chelsea picks are in your current game week one draft? So current team is just our Pedro. Just the one. Yeah, but I think I think like the lights in Man United plan transfers or if you gave me full wild card would definitely have one or two more top three Chelsea picks. I'll do to start the season first. I'll go Joppedro, Polestra and Palmer over the season. I reckon Rogers will compete with Palmer and Joppedro, especially because he's a bit cheaper than Palmer. So I'll go Joppedro, Rogers and Colwell, but I would really keep a watch on the two wingbacks if you see us lining up in the back three and I'll last friendly on Saturday. Fantastic stuff, Tom. You've, I'm going to go now and get Polestra and maybe one or two. There's maybe even Kaysero goes into my next draft just to see how it feels. But yeah, I echo your thoughts. Joppedro is going to be in my game week one team. I would love to have Palmer to start with, but it's quite hard to fit him in. I'm going to bring him on Highland. And I do agree if you think Rogers over the season is going to be, you know, just have another great FPL season. So all I'm going to have to say is thank you very much for joining me, Tom. Thank you for being my first guest this season. I hope there's many more to come and best luck for the FPL season. And I hope Chelsea do well, but not as well as my chest united. So have a good season mate. Thanks Mark. I love the podcast. Cheers Tom. Bye bye. [MUSIC PLAYING] [MUSIC PLAYING]
