towards the deadline james we march on uh having said that i have actually since we did the show on monday um logged out kind of as i logged out i haven't touched fpl or my fpl team for good reason but yes we march on we we did the shortlist show on monday we went through all of the positions and price points and players at positions and price points today we're going to look at the lineups and what we think might be the 11s going into game week one um and i know it's it's it's very specifically gaming one that we want to look at right yeah first and foremost uh i don't think people would necessarily want to start with players in their team that don't think they're going to start you can have your 4.5 midfielder you don't think it's going to start so it doesn't matter so much but a lot of the comments i see are very much do you think he'll start is he nailed and within this we can have discussion about i think this player is okay for game week one but might be problematic going forward so it's more to we've done the shortlist who's under consideration now live right okay our team's likely to set up so we're going to run through all 20 teams we're going to do it in the order of of obviously the games taking place this weekend so we'll start with arsenal coventry for those on youtube you're going to see some graphics where i've got essentially the 22 predicted players that i've got and i must stress that these are my predictions there's no particular input here from correspondents i am getting alarmed particularly on twitter seeing people quoting comments that correspondents made last week not factoring in that some teams have played like too friendly since then so some of these opinions have changed from last week okay and we kind of went i kind of ran through that in 10 minutes on the shortlist on monday in terms of right some stuff has changed so uh we're going to look at lineups we'll go through the teams for the benefit of obviously those listening to the podcast we'll read through all the players names and then obviously kind of do discussion points from there you happy with that boss we'll just get into it absolutely absolutely uh yeah i think let's get into it i was i was uh on a on a complete side note um i think it's going to be a lot of fun i think it's going to be a lot of fun i think it's going to be a lot of fun i think sometimes we overthink what we're doing with with our fpl teams and as we get close to the deadline like we are the engaged lot right yeah we put the shortlist out on on monday we've got to give a shout out to andy mr let's talk fpl if you're not subscribed on his youtube channel i don't know what you're doing here because no one's not support no one's not subscribed firstly let's give let's give the guy a massive shout out because getting to half a million subs um i mean there's some big channels out there but half a million subs is there but i had a brilliant idea of what we're doing with our fpl teams and as we get closer to the deadline we were talking my bench piece where i had a dilemma and uh without getting into the details of the conversation and it went along the lines of something like i've ended up with ollie mcbirney in my team right uh and obviously andy's posting videos daily so if you watch his stuff you might know it and that was the point that i looked at myself and i was like we probably think about this way too much if that's where we've got to uh all the likes of ollie mcbirney's and random stuff like that is popping up so i really kind of checked out and thought about it and i was like let me like withdraw myself because you get overdose of content where you're like okay well what every tinker every bit of information leads to another tinker that can't be healthy can it uh andy is an exceptional fpl player yeah he should he should play it his way if he wants to start ollie mcbirney we all should it will start with ollie mcbirney it's possibly also why he's got 500 000 youtube subscribers because people want to go why are you doing that andy yeah yeah uh go go and give him a sub because he needs one or two more uh yeah andy's short subscribers yeah if you'd like to subscribe to our channel please do smash a like all those things indeed join us over on patreon.com we'll do the patron sale later let's talk about these teams and these games first we this is look the monday the monday podcast the short list was very much focused on like right what's really interesting for fantasy now this is very much about how teams will line up now for those watching on youtube don't stress too much about the graphics have kind of done roughly how formations will be that i've moved like nico riley into left 10 inverted positions or anything like that it's just to show you kind of like a basic outline don't worry too much about the systems and stuff all these images will show uh the players their price in an fpl and you'll see stars next to certain players the players with the stars i would rate currently at the time recording early wednesday morning as 95 plus to start game week one in my mind i.e if someone says to me will they start my answer is definitively yes shit can change team news someone signs a new player there's one player you're going to see on here where i've got them starred and that opinion will already have changed from what you see on the graphic because a new player has been signed so we'll start with arsenal coventry so i've got it like this at the moment um essentially the same team that started the community shield so uh raya white mascara gabrielle calafiore uh guimaraes lewis skelly madaweki odegaard solace and havertz um for me there are probably two question marks in that starting 11 which can have multiple solutions in terms of how they're filled the two that i'm not sure on a madaweki and guimaraes so guimaraes could easily be declan rice i think guimaraes could easily be kai have um victor yokares and kai havertz into a slightly deeper position i think guimaraes could easily be victor yokares and kai havertz so i i mean with madaweki wouldn't even surprise me if they gave uh one of the young young boys like max downman a bit of a run out because home fixture against coventry why not yeah yes it's possible um i just think under that circumstance if there was a plan to play downman against coventry i actually think he would start the community shield against city okay they've arteta has shown that he's got real faith in him so i think the fact that madaweki started the community shield against city has shown that he's got real faith in him so i think the fact that there could be something in that positionally in terms of anticipation that nico o'reilly would go on wonders and how that's going to be dealt with and maybe that wouldn't be comfortable for downman so yeah i don't think you're wrong it wouldn't come as like a huge shock if max downman started um i think the other's all pretty safe i'd be very surprised if that back line didn't change i think lewis skelly and odegaard were exceptional on sunday so to me remember it's one game a week so it's not like the midweek game next week they're obviously not in this stage of the carabel cup it doesn't appear to be real competition to solace's place certainly for game one martinelli obviously was linked to a mood to galatasaray that he doesn't fancy um i think habits is pretty pretty assured of playing i do think he'll probably play as the nine has said there is a chance obviously he ends up a bit deeper with yoka as planned they could definitely go with say lewis skelly odegaard havers as the midfield makeup gimres also maybe could be as i do it that way is a different way of doing it yeah just just just you mentioning that it's like thinking about all right they'll get the job done but if they are not if they're struggling they're not getting the job done the firepower that they are now bringing off the bench with that team gocares sacca martinelli as a you know okay they they could really mix it up and turn it on should they need to in the second half um if they're struggling to break coventry down they've got debt there what i would say about this and again i must stress these starred players are players that i'm extremely confident will start game week one doesn't it i'm extremely confident we'll start game week one doesn't it i'm extremely confident we'll start game week one doesn't mean they're nailed for weeks on end some of these were going to become concerning potentially quite quickly right califuri hincapi rotation once europe starts uh during timber to ben white when he's back available we know there's interest in buying a right back slash right-sided center back i think lewis skelly and odegaard have got the nod for now that could change solace is right right comes back into this team there's no doubt about it of course he does so but for for lewis skelly or for gimorash I'd say for Lewis Skelly, i mean lewis skelly can cover fullback as well right i think probably the chances are such once champions league starts you'll just get regular rotation i think there must be a consciousness for them that probably deckham rice has played too much football over the last 12 months and and protect him a little bit more i think yeah about coventry for coventry i do think we should acknowledge there's a chance to go with a back five um just because of the quality of obviously the opponent they're facing i've got it basically as a 451 slash 433 so uh rushworth van uick thomas amenda de silva midfield urenchi grimes on yeka uh truna probably on the right thomas asante left sims up front now it's that front three if you will that i'm very unsure on they've obviously signed uh taiwan yee from night in the forest it's not beyond possibility they go straight into the team i don't think it's beyond possibility that they maybe go with some more defensive minded players to play in the wide positions i think the coventry attack therefore is just a complete avoid at the moment because they think people were picking it with game week two in mind and like to tell you now that alan yee will start game with one and two i can't or sims will start game with one and two i can't and also the makeup of the team might well change against hole from arsenal so it might be that they play with maybe a more orthodox number 10 perhaps against hole rather than against arsenal i think that midfield three is pretty solid urenchi may be the one that's kind of the runner from the midfield alari's goal against canada at the world cup but i think you can expect them to go pretty low on this probably the key takeaway is i think in terms of goalkeeper on the back four you're absolutely secure there for this week i think the silver is the one that's avoidable because they are being linked with left backs i think the other three defenders there you should be able to see should be absolutely fine as said i wouldn't be surprised if there's an additional defensive body maybe ball into that like kitching for example against arsenal maybe they go with more of a 5-4-1 friday night but i think as discussed with andrew i think arsenal is a like a it doesn't matter if they lose you don't want to lose the game but it's what's more important is next week so i think build towards that is the most likely so i think there's 4.0 to find if you want to go there i can't see any problems with it okie dokie uh the early kickoff on saturday james hull hosting manchester united uh is hull the team that you have put the least stars on i ain't got a clue i still haven't got a clue i tell you why it is as well well you start ollie mcbirney so andy will be happy yeah andy will be happy the only two players i'm absolutely confident in for whole this week are salakis and mcbirney i think there are a number in there that i would class well above sort of like 80 percent confident but um i think that there's a chance that mendy will come into the team as one of their new signings left-footed center back and it will now enable them the possibility to play a back five slash a back three and if he does and i think there's every chance he will i can't work out who's going to miss out between say egan and ajay so so they both play i would i would say coil and giles probably highly likely play as the fullback slash wingbacks i think they're going to be still plays but i've wondered if this could end up looking more like even a 5-3-2 they've basically exclusively played a back four in friendlies so my point being here is my confidence in this is very very low so i've got it as a back five so salakis in goal coil ajay egan mendy and giles with slater and crooks as the midfield two and that's definitely not secure by any means baloomy with a lean to the right stroud on the left and mcburnie up front but there are a number of other players that could easily change that so like yeto doll came straight in for the first game um last week he could play they bought another midfield player corner dwarf who i know very little about feels like he could go straight into the team slater over crooks if you want to go with a 4.5 midfielder but i i wouldn't be surprised if neither played and they're still buying players right they're just trying every day it's like a new name getting linked so i'm really not confident in what hole will do whatsoever other than the goalkeeper and the and the striker please at danny mcdonald because he'll have a better idea about it than me but i truthfully if you want enablers i just think you go to the other two promoted teams at the moment okay your manchester united lineup is is quite interesting back to front you've gone with lemons in gold i kind of agree with you back four of shore midfield two at telemans and santos with adogu bruno fernandez amad and then mbumo up top you haven't starred mbumo amad dallo across the right um and then aid in heaven you've got a kind of question mark on is that because you see that whole thing rotating because i could see amad dropping in as a wingback bumo moving out to the right and kunia or sesco coming in as the striker or do you think um is that a question mark or is that a question mark something slightly different that could be at play so quite confident heaven starts at whole but as said on monday like lissandra martinez did appear as a substitute and and i do think there is a case of whole it's which first two like you could almost ease him back into these sort of fixtures so i think heaven will start but that's a minor concern dallo can easily be matt swaring okay so i think it'll be dallo but it could easily be matt swary i'm not super confident on that i think we say tea lemons and santos i think kobe mano is a bit further behind so i'm pretty confident that starts what about um on on those two what about mount because i've been hearing from pre-season again oh is he yeah oh okay i heard he'd had a couple of good games in pre-season from from united i hadn't realized that he'd picked up a knock again yeah injured again apparently so feel for him okay yeah yeah absolutely um he's what it is benjamin sesco and has the lit of rejoining training by the way this week um that if you are starting with boomo that has to be an awareness like brian boomer cannot be i'm picking brian boomer for 10 weeks at the moment can't be now i think boomer will start i'm pretty confident about that but i'm not in the 95 percent bracket i can't be and the reason amad isn't started i just think if kunya plays truthfully i think boomer probably plays on the right yep and amad misses out so that's why those two i do think strongly that it will be boomer and amad but obviously it could easily be matthias kunya i don't actually have any doubt on dogu particularly he started all three of the last friendlies and we obviously made the case on monday for boomer it would have been third game in a week dogu started all of them so i do think dogu starts and as it stands he'll get replaced later in the game by marcus rashford um i think he'll get replaced by kunya that's how i feel about it at this moment but it could easily be kunya replaces amad particularly if they're chasing a goal and and boomer goes into a wide area so i am i am confident on boomer i'm i'm north of 80 on him but i can't look at it with with certainty yeah okay uh shall we move to best friends everton v crystal palace why are they best fans because they're on the dwight mcneil brendan brennan johnson hokey cokey so i've made them best friends now this is this has got one one written all over it and both score isn't it well you haven't put uh oh you have put dwight mcneil in your starting lineup on off the left interestingly um yeah interesting conversation on nico's corner yesterday about brennan johnson and the criticism that he was getting from the media guys that show with nico sorry that show with nico there was moments there where it did veer towards nico's corner yes we started talking about double wives i've got to give that show a shout out i think um if you haven't listened to it and have thought what's the point because it's not fpl relevant it's it's just an enjoyable hour of your life go and listen to that show with nico nico james talking about anything and everything uh but yes you did cover off uh some of that brennan johnson criticism i think he's gonna be okay for everton but i don't think he's gonna be i think he'll get 25 30 star you said 20 uh but i think he'll do all right because of what you said he he knows how to find the back of the net there's numerous occasions where he spurs his top goal scorer right so throughout the season tell me about these lineups i've done about numerous well there was periods where you're like who's our top goal scorer jesus it's brennan johnson because he'd always get on the end of back post stuff and whatever else i i genuinely really hope brennan johnson does really well at everton i have got him in this predicted lineup i do think there's a number of possibilities here with everton so as far as we know at the moment james garner and christian norgaard are not going to make it that that seems to be how it looks at the moment certainly in terms of game week one but moving forward i imagine that that's going to be everton's first choice central midfield i think that gives them a bit of vulnerability actually in terms of the game this weekend um so i've got it as pickford merlin roll right back Tarkovsky-Branfrey-Mikalenko, Armstrong-Stanley, hackney jewsbury hall and then right to left johnson barry and and die uh tarkovsky brantway no problem mikalenko near certain he'll start jewsbury hall will start illman die will start unless he transferred in the next 48 hours or so and obviously and i could play left or right but he'll certainly play unless there's something from a transfer perspective will happen the reason i'm not so confident on the rest of the central midfield makeup along with jewsbury hall is i think it could easily be o'brien plays it right back and then roll maybe moves into midfield so feel like it could be that all of those three midfield players play or it's just two of them and under that circumstance i'm not sure who misses out uh barry probably gets the nod over beto barry played the last friendly but i did have a look back for a piece i did for advanced tier patrons last night and actually barry started the last friendly last summer and beto started game week one so i wouldn't i wouldn't go near that particularly johnson i think it will get the nod but tyler dibbling did okay actually by all accounts in their friendly against lil at the weekend um and there's a few options they can use they can even move merlin roll into a more advanced position tyric george could start and maybe move in and die to the right so i wouldn't feel too comfortable on that i just have the vibe that moises got to get motivation into johnson a bit of self-belief and i think the idea of just starting against the team that he's just left is a good way to try and do that actually so i think johnson might get the nod yeah i agree moise is actually um i think he's underrated as a as a man manager i think he's pretty good at getting into the heads of the players so um i don't disagree with you there hayden hackney fit and ready to go is he now because he did there was doubt so he'd had a little bit of a knock yeah as far as i'm worried it's fine i did see an interview with david moise last night where he spoke on the interview with david moise and he said he was about having real caution about hackney and him needing a real period of adaptation from the championship to the premier league it didn't come across in the way i read it that he envisaged him being first choice at this moment but there's every chance he will start game week one because missing players right palace i'll give you your 11 james you can tell us why you think who and what you've got dean henderson in goal i'm not surprised they're pretty locked uh chris richards canvo as well chaddy riad you haven't given a star to tarik mitchell left back you've gone with ming gweiser right wing back some will be surprised minos flagged at the moment or just coming back and we think he's going all right uh kamado wharton in the middle and then on the right ishmael isar on the left you've gone with the new boy dwight mcneil against his former club and uh you've gone with strand larson up top over mateta so this is the team that started at the weekend um i think that they actually played 120 minute match uh i don't know if that was split into three half hours or or four half hours rather what that looked like but this thing testing it out mate it's fifa testing it out this this team played 70 plus of it um so i think that's probably how it will go off from the start you've got a couple of factors here obviously i think larson definitely starts by the way ahead of mateta mateta has in some itk circles been linked to tottenham over the last couple of days but that's very light rumors it's not a transfer i'd expect to happen but i wouldn't be surprised if mateta did leave the club he's a possibility um he's obviously returned from the world cup he played minimal minutes last week jeremy pino not featured yet i don't think so rory was of the opinion that mcneil would start then come the friendly it looks right all the stuff that kind of rory said on correspondent week last week like came home to in that friendly and he went okay i'm gonna have to trust his opinion here because obviously we'd all pick daniel munoz right but mingueza is there ready to go he can obviously cover center back as well so that's why i'm not not keen on chaddy riad um in terms of feeling comfortable about that they bought another player um who really basically is probably going to be um daniel munoz's replacement anankala lily um who very nearly joined in at milan as denzel dumfries replacement but um hadn't had a medical issue so he's now joined palace he's probably going to be the first twist right right wing back he's been priced up at five million i'd probably be surprised if he goes straight into the team at everton but we shouldn't rule it out as a possibility actually so but i i think it probably will be that 11 just with a couple of kind of small question marks on it okay let's go to uh nico's boys ipswich town hosting sunderland tractor boys um i'm going to go to nico's boys i mean a lot of new signings that they've got in i think from what i can figure out from your starting there's eight or nine new starters in that uh in that lineup uh sherpin in goal you've got daro share it right back it's a diop jimmy greaves and leaf davis is the back four jimmy crees jimmy crees uh florentino lukic uh in midfield you think nc so was it announced yesterday or the day before i feel like nc so is last couple of days you think nc so was it announced yesterday or the day before i feel like nc so is last couple of days yeah you've got him going straight in in that potential number 10 role fatawu on the right maya the who they picked up from celtic on the left and emerson up top fairly confident or you got some doubts around there i'm fairly confident jimmy greaves passed away unfortunately i think five years ago and he's probably still i know he's probably still better than jake just so you know i think um jacob greaves is the questionable one in terms of the back line um could easily be uh furlong plays at right back and daro shay moves to center back um they've also bought another right back as well abdul utara uh i don't know if he's any relation to dango i don't think he's he's right back so not improbable that he goes straight in but as per what paul said on correspondent week o'shea diop davis pretty secure that signing of utara by the way is a more offensive right back also leans into the idea of what paul said last week about they want to buy a defensive left back and they're not going to buy a defensive left back and they're not going to buy a defensive left back so they can shun it where okay they have a a kind of a movement towards attack down the right or the left rather than davis is going to get quite advanced from this position i think so pretty confident be back for three of that back four i'm very confident in sherpan will play in goal don't have too much doubt about that sasa lukic will play in midfield florentino is possibly the more interesting one in terms of midfield he didn't start the last friendly he had an injury issue so that's where my lack of confidence in the midfield him comes from if he's not available i imagine nunez will play in midfield similarly with fatu on the right he also didn't feature in that friendly so confidence in that isn't hugely strong at this moment made on the left feels like it could easily be jack clark i do yes have the instinct that nc so actually will go straight in there is a gamble to that prediction pretty confident emerson will start up front as the nine but every chance hip switch will go into the market and that's what i'm going to do so i'm going to go straight in and i'm going to go straight in another forward on value galley who's obviously the 4.5 forward i would not be at all surprised if he starts every every chance that he'll start particularly if fatu is not available if fatu is ruled out i think he probably will start um but i do think that if if he and insist so are both available they'll start is my view at the moment so i don't think value will start but chance you asked me again on friday i might say to you yeah i think you will i think they're going to stay up you know hip switch of all of them i think they're going to stay up only only 17th i'm not predicting any more than that but i think they're going to stay up i think they've been pretty shrewd with their business and type of players they've done um they've not necessarily i don't think they're building a squad or a team to be competitive but to definitely to at least get 17 16th and and and do all right and they always did okay at home let's see um sunderland we may as well do the same thing as they win one game at home last time they was up chelsea no it was against chelsea yeah i think yeah i remember that was a good game did they not win any others i felt like they did all right at portman road they lost at home to southampton because he'd the last minute they didn't beat my lot we won 4-1 now and we got battered in the first 10 minutes i don't know how but anyway brennan johnson scored twice there you go just let gabby bon lahore and jamie o'hara know that fact um sunderland we may as well copy paste last seasons uh shall we because they look like they are well they haven't done much business other than um one or two here but you've gone with robin rofson goal no surprise there reynaldo oh nine ballard and mckielly at the back we know that alderweireld is not available sadiki jacca has two in front you've got trey hume right wing you've got trey hume right wing you've got trey hume right wing enzo lefe and gula on the left and brian brobby up top yeah i think probably eight of that 11 for game week one is pretty secure and there's multiple different things that i think could happen with the other three so mckielly we don't know if he's going to make it thomas munier we don't know if he's going to make it alderweireld we don't know if he's going to make it so mckielly is the one that obviously had featured quite a bit bit for Sunderland in the early part of pre-season so I've gone with of theory here that if anyone makes it he's the one that's most likely to go straight into the team um now if he does trey hume will probably play in front of him on the right hand side of midfield if mckelly doesn't make it and if munier doesn't make it trey hume will play right back so i do think trey hume will start i'm very confident that he started 34 to 38 games last season i can't tell you right now whether that'll be right back or right midfield but whatever the setup i do think he will play in in a circumstance where two of mckelly alderetti and munier all make it and are all available to go i do think that makes luke o9 a slight risk the vibe from the guys is very much he looks strongly like he's going to start game week one but i do think there is a small risk there that munier is fit to play right back and he puts mckelly straight in at center back and under that circumstance i think o9 is the one that misses out just a note on defensive as well the lad that i said they were trying to buy from uh to lose i think mifali i think his name was that's fallen through at the moment left back for about 25 odd million they've found a problem with the medical it doesn't mean the deal's dead but they want to do some more tests so that could be off obviously if it is we know that they definitively want a left back so i think reynaldo would have to be an overlook so i think o9 is the one that misses out just a note on defensive as well the lad that i said they will all start unless something goes wrong this week um and gulo i think would have the nod over talby he's my view i do think there's a chance there that both start right if trey hume plays right back they'll probably both play one on the left and one on the right it's i'd spoke about him quite a bit with spencer last week and i'm interested in him but i can only be interested in him at this moment i don't think i could go there i do think there is a chance that talby would have the favoritism on him so i'm not i'm not 95 confident on on angulo but i do think he'll start hank joined bj's wholesale club the day he became a father of 30 i coach football now coach hank saves up to 25 off grocery store prices 30 pounds of

let's start with oliver glasner's nottingham forest you've gone with three at the back as i don't think there's any doubt with glasner that that's what he wants to do um what do you think the 11th is going to be uh i think this is pretty clear bar a couple of question marks so sales in goal back three will be diamante malenkovich marillo aina will be safe to start the i think that it's wednesday now if they bought a wing back now he's still starting the season nico williams i i would imagine it's a in a right wing back williams left wing back there's a small chance that's the other way around but i anticipate it that way i'm pretty confident ibrahima sangari will start in midfield but i do think it it has a little bit of risk for once the transfer window closes is my vibe at the moment i think as per what said on monday's part i think james mcateen maybe he's going to get the nod alongside him and i think from fray and doi gibbs white behind igor jesus the only real question marks in the 11th for saturday for me he's mcateen if that idea is wrong and it's schlager um and a little question mark on and doi mainly just probably more on chris wood's fitness in the immediate that if he did want to start with chris wood because of his a leader of powerful and physical team that i think it's more likely that igor jesus would just drop back a position rather than igor jesus not start game week one i should note on jesus stronger and stronger links i tried to sell him to everyone on correspondent week last week but liam delap's name is getting mentioned in association with not in the forest more and more so you want you want an awareness of that um but most of that team i fix itself yeah yeah i think so question marks mcateen and doi really and the leeds team i mean i'm off blagging it by not having 11 stars there because i'm pretty confident that'll be the same team that's going to be the same team that's going to be the same team yeah trafford in goal the three new signings trafford muhrimovic and wilson straight in back three is the muhrimovic visual road on uh wingbacks justin on one side jen and bogle on the other you've got stack and amperdue in midfield and then the front three of uh aronson calvert lewin and wilson the one you haven't started is aronson on correspondent week ed said that wilson was the aronson replacement but not for this week yeah i i just there's a small part of me thinks that might be okafora instead that's it that's all that is um but i think if you ask nearly any leeds fan at the moment they'll tell you that's that's the 11 and i think that's the only question mark goodmanson obviously is injured at this moment in time so there feels very little doubt on james justin on justin versus road on i prefer justin as a pick i do think that there's something happens in the transfer market or as when goodmanson comes back i think james justin's going to stay in this team even if that becomes right-sided center back or small chance right wing back so i prefer justin as the choice of those 4.5 million defenders muhammad which visual you should be fine with visual there's the caveat if they decide to switch to a back four that would maybe be good news for joe road on and maybe it's not right for for visual but that's the expectation that it's very much what we saw for leeds for the last six months of last season and that team very nearly picks itself for game week one they look well set leads i think cool uh let's go to brentford v tottenham which is the 530 kickoff on saturday 530 uk time um bingo with brentford you've gone with 11 starters here james kellerher in goal coyote ager collins lewis potter as a back four uh midfield three you've got sangari yano and jensen in there with the front three of utara tiago shardy yeah i just can't believe they're they're whacked iron track frankfurt seven nil all of that team played 70 plus minutes with as far as we're aware no issues i can't believe that it won't just get told run again yeah i'll just be really surprised i think if i was to flag the the one that would most likely change for game week one i'd flag jensen like there might be something that he wants there with say dams guard that looks a little bit different that's the only one really i think now i do think i strongly think sangari will start but i i do certainly acknowledge that his players there like dams guard yarmulke that i think put a threat on it definitely put a threat on his minutes a lot of the sangari defcon stuff he's defcon per 90 sangari ease well he needs to get to 90 and they've got players that can definitely rotate in and around that midfield area i do think he's going to get the nod from the start though it's dangerous player scored in the friendly last week as well front three i think any threat from jayden anthony they put that to bed at the weekend and certainly at least in terms of starting the season um i think tom would now be of the opinion by the way he's of the opinion sangari will start now certainly for this game week but he's still cautious about him as an asset i think tom would now say yeah probably is going to be lewis potter starts the season as the left back yeah that's the more i've thought and i've thought about this one a lot because they're obviously playing my team at the weekend i'll just be very surprised if that's not the team as long as they're all fit all right your team um i'm not gonna lie james looking at your team on paper that you've put down that you think will start it's getting bait makes me want to keep my players and maybe even add to it uh you've got mckinsey and goal a back four of robertson sanessi van heck archie gray midfield three tonali bergval gallagher ahead of them left wing matisse tell mikey moore on the right and richarlison up top what's wrong where's injuries so no vanderven what's what's wrong i finished last season i finished last season with two with two available shush yourself I finished last season with two available forwards one is still very raw and inexperienced in Matisse tell the other can't run anymore which is Richarlison I'm starting this season with the same available two forwards only yeah I'm not happy I'm not happy where's Kulosevsky he's not fit I thought Madison played some minutes the other day yeah Madison played 45 minutes of the second game there's no way in the world he starts 0% chance he's nowhere near ready he'll be way away from starting football match I wouldn't be surprised we play Charlton in the Carabao Cup next midweek James Madison might start that and play 45 to 60 maybe he's nowhere near ready to start a Premier League game yet I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't even start the Charlton game he's not he's not ready trust me he shouldn't have played at the end of last season he did it out of necessity and full credit to him for doing it but he's not fit enough yet Kulosevsky is months away Kudos I think there's a chance Kudos might be in the squad and I do think there is a small chance that he starts if therefore that's where he's at Savinia I now assume is not joining which we'll probably come on to in a little bit in relation to a Manchester City injury because they maybe need to keep hold of him now so I can only assume at this stage that Mikey Moore starts on the right and he's meant to be going on loan to Cologne once we've got replacements in and if Tottenham don't pull their finger out he's going to be staying he's not going to stay as a first choice I must express to people that's not even Mikey Moore's position where's Mateus Fernandes? I just don't think he'll start I think he's going to stay I think there's every chance he does ahead of Bergwell but if I'm being very honest Lucas Bergwell was excellent in the friendly on Saturday and Mateus Fernandes wasn't in the friendly on Sunday and Bergwell played with Tenali and Gallagher on the Saturday so I do think there's every chance Bergwell starts I have a little suspicion that they're trying to keep him happy until the window closes as well I also that said have a suspicion that he's going to stay that it's now been over 45 days since we bought Sandro Tenali and we know that Newcastle have an interest in him and once 45 days have passed which I think it passes tomorrow technically Newcastle can buy him and it's not considered part of the same transaction correct because 45 days have passed so whereas it would get investigated if it was within that 45 day period so there is a thought process that maybe as of tomorrow Newcastle may be going for Lucas Bergwell so Lucas Bergwell I think has had a really good pre-season I think there's every chance that he'll get the nod I won't be surprised if it's Fernandes by the way but that's how I've got it at the moment Marcus Seneci I now think starts but I don't know what's going on with Mickey Van Der Veen because the word he's fine he's fine he's fine I haven't seen him what's going on Marcus Seneci was at the World Cup final Mickey Van Der Veen was back as the World Cup final was finishing so I think Seneci probably as it stands there's rumours of a knee problem for Van Der Veen minor if Mickey's fit he'll play Seneci played really well alongside Van Hecker on Saturday though there's every chance he'll start Archie Gray I'm about 55% that he starts and 45% Pedro Porro starts I can't really split it but it's another one that I think Archie's been heavily involved in pre-season there's every chance he'll get the nod is it every chance by the way if it's that line-up is every chance he's going to captain the team okay let's go to Brighton v Villa then James just Ritchie he's going to start yeah Brighton v Villa Brighton obviously announced the new striker Promise David yesterday which makes it interesting for people that were gambling or thinking that Rutter at 5.5 might be a good shout clearly not going to I say clearly I wouldn't suspect it he'll go straight into the team for Sunday David but do you think so well you've got to remember the awkwardness with Brighton is if Brighton were playing tomorrow this is what I've got on the screen I'm sorry they are playing tomorrow if they were playing Villa in the Premier League tomorrow this team that I've got on screen I'd be very confident that would be the team the Conference League they're going to Tromso right for the Conference League first leg excuse me of the Conference League qualifiers but you've gone with Verbruggen in goal for Brighton Cadioglu, Boscagli, Vuskovic and Vifa that's a that's a tongue teaser of a defence isn't it Vuskovic, Boscagli, Cadioglu Gross, Ayari in midfield with Hinshawood alongside them Gomez, De Kuyper and Rutter up top yeah De Kuyper obviously their potential OOP they've got issues with obviously Matoma's still injured Mintz is injured Rutter can always it's worth saying with Rutter he can obviously drop into a deeper position if David's going to go in as first choice I don't think you could rule out the possibility that Rutter starts Thursday night and then David starts Sunday I don't think you can rule out the possibility that Rutter starts Thursday and Costula starts on Sunday so with David coming in now I think any idea of going Rutter as the 5.5 is probably off the table I've done this based on kind of players that I'm pretty confident will start Sunday even if they play Thursday night so I think that's Vifa, Cadioglu, Gross, Hinshawood, Gomez on Hinshawood a few people have flagged that they feel like we've not discussed him enough in pre-season so I'll do it now he finished last season really well we spoke about him a little bit on Correspondent Week and just felt that he'd come in probably 0.5 more than what we wanted to pay not because he's not worth 6 million we agree that he's right that he got priced up to 6 million but the fact that Gross is 0.5 cheaper and Gomez looks like he's definitively going to start for a million cheaper is why I just think most people will look past him but if anybody really likes Jack Hinshawood as a pick I don't have a problem with that by the way so DeKuyper 4.5 OOP obviously there's every chance he could start left wing I think that's dangerous I think there's every chance they're obviously going to go into the market as you've seen with David and there might be something else comes in as well the best news if you want to go Vuskovic I think will be if he doesn't start tomorrow night if he doesn't start tomorrow night I'd be extremely confident he starts on Sunday that might sound weird that's the way I view it in my mind at this moment right you've obviously got Dunk can obviously play centre-back Pascal Strauch can obviously play centre-back they've got other players Svoboda can also play there so it's not to say that if he does start he can't start he can't start Sunday but that would be enough to put me off personally I'd be more encouraged if he doesn't start tomorrow night it's you've got to kind of look at it player to player so don't what I've just said about Vuskovic don't take that for for Gross or Gomez that's what I'm saying I think V for Cadioglu Gross, Hinchwood, Gomez are the ones if they start on Thursday night in Norway I still think they start Sunday the others I'm not sure about so Brighton is unclear at this moment but it's it could easily be that exact 11 Villa it's it's a bit of a mess at the moment so at the moment I've got Marco Bissot in goal but as said Zion Suzuki confirmed signing this morning every chance he'll go straight in goal last year Kalaha the Bravka and Hermansen were or I don't think Hermansen was I think it was a strange one that Hermansen surprised us but the Bravka and Kalaha came in and were signed the week before the season started and went straight in yeah so I don't think we should be it's a goalkeeper right he's been bought to be number one he's definitely going in goal Suzuki will play against Arsenal let me put it that way in game week two there's every chance he'll play game week one back four I'm confident these all start but not necessarily all in the back four so Cash Lindelof Torres Mattson I think Barkley might get the nod alongside Kamara Buendia in front of that McGinn probably from the right as said on Monday's part I think there's every chance Hemmings will start Tammy Abraham is a little bit of a he's had a little bit of a shoulder I think shoulder complaint but we think he'll be okay to start the game on Sunday Ollie Watkins has been heavily linked with a move for sort of 45-50 million pounds to Al Hill some have reported that Watkins is keen on the move I'm keen on Tottenham Hotspur picking up the phone well you are throwing the money around but whether you're going to match the wages of Al Hill I don't know mate I think the transfer fee you can pay but you want to pay those kind of salaries as well tax free I need something proven in this league and he's it so I'm looking at the Villa guys a little bit distressed I think with what's happening at the moment moment a bit because they are that, let's be honest, that team looks thinner than what it has done, right? You've ripped, you might be ripping Watkins out of that. Tielemans, Rodgers, you've ripped out of that. You might be ripping Conta out of that. You've ripping Martinez out of that. It's a concern. So, yeah, I don't think Villa are going into the weekend in the best state, to be honest. The reason I'm not sure on the way to back four playing together, but I do think they're all start, is if Conta plays, and there's every chance he does, I think that looks more likely for a game week one start than Watkins at the moment. If Emery goes, yeah, right, Conta's ready, he goes straight in, I think Lindelof will play in midfield. That's something we saw towards the end of that season. I don't know how suitable that is, that he would partner with Kamara. They're also signing Aaron Wan-Bissaka. Has that gone through, has it, Serge? It's a loan with an obligation to buy, has been confirmed. They've got to pick him up for 25 million at the end of the season. But yeah, he'll be. He'll be an Aston Villa player this season. There's no reason to think he'd go straight in the team instead of Matty Cash. None. Particularly when, I guess, the biggest concern for them almost looks offensively, and Cash is an offensive right-back. Similar for Ian Mattson on the left-hand side. They've also announced Mathieu Riguri this morning as well. They announced those two signings five minutes apart. But there's no reason to think Mattson won't still start game week one. But there is obviously competition for his place at left-back moving forward. A bit concerned about them at the moment. And it'll be interesting to see how they fare because game week two doesn't get any easier. I'd be a lot more concerned about them if Unai Emery wasn't their manager. Yeah, true. Right. Manchester City versus Bournemouth. Obviously, no Jeremy Docky in your predicted starting line-up because he's out for a little while. And this is why I understand you think Savinio won't be leaving. There's going to be plenty of people that forgot Jack Grealish was even there. And he is in your line-up. Talk us through the XI. Oh, I have very little. Little confidence in Jack Grealish starting. I don't know who to put there. One option is Tomenio to the left and maybe it's Savinio on the right. You play Phil Foden on one side of the pitch is a possibility. Yeah, they use one of the younger players that they use the number in pre-season is not beyond possibility as well. Ait Nouri, left wing. Yep. That's probably more suitable than I thought. I don't like O'Reilly as a touchline-holding player, but I think Ait Nouri could do that job. But what I reflected back on is something I'd said previously about Maresca wanting players that could dictate people on 1v1. Ait Nouri can do it. Jack Grealish actually is the natural dribbler. And obviously, it was he that came on at halftime on Sunday. Okay, so. That leads me to think that he's every chance and I actually put that confidence at probably less than 50%, but it's every chance that he's the one given the start for game week one. It could be Savinio. I'm not sure about that. What it does mean is it makes a number of other players much safer, like Semenyo. Clearly, that's clearly 95-plus percent start and you won't feel like that too often this season, I don't think. So I've got it like this. So, same backline as the weekend against Arsenal. Donnarumma, Kusinov, Diaz, Vardio, O'Reilly. And essentially, the same team, despite how poor it was. So, Kovacic, Anderson, Foden, Semenyo, Haaland with the one enforced change of Doku coming out. Yes, I have it as Grealish there at the moment. I recognise not many people are going to agree with that opinion. I think that position is up for grabs. Could be one of three or four different options. I think there's a chance that Kovacic comes out, the team, they move forward with this in Anderson in a six and say Cherky comes into the team is a possibility. I think there's every chance Gay will come in the team for Diaz as well. I feel like something wants chopping up from Sunday because obviously it wasn't good. Nowhere near it for their standards. Nico Gonzalez has been heavily linked to a move to Newcastle, which seems odd when Rodri's gone and there's some issues there. So I think we can probably expect them to really push through for Bouadi and maybe Enzo Fernandes still as a possibility. That's now a bit light in the wide areas. That makes Semenyo more appealing to some. It will make him less appealing to others because I think he's going to have to hold that touchline even more is a possibility. So I think that I'm still going to captain Haaland, by the way, because I think there'll be goals in that game on Sunday. So that's enough for me. I wouldn't be surprised if Bournemouth get something. Well, how often do we say that about Bournemouth when they come up against the big boys and they very, very often did last season. Remember, there's a Bournemouth team that haven't lost since the 3rd of January as highlighted on Correspondent Week last week. They haven't lost a game in eight months. Yeah. Different manager, different circumstance. That's also true. But looking at the lineup that you've put out, James, pretty familiar, I would say. Yeah, there's a few question marks that Tyler Adams didn't play the last friendly. This is a bit of a doubt. Unfortunately, he does have injury issues. Otherwise, I think he would play. I've got it like this. So Petrifician goal, Adam Smith probably right back. There's every chance when Lou Sanchez will play. I thought just specifically for this one, I thought about the fact that I'm not sure what Man City is going to do on the left-hand side. And therefore, there's a chance Marco Rose might go on the side of caution with his pick. There, rather than throw the young lad in, who I'm pretty sure is going to be born with first choice right back, throw him in and he gets killed by someone out there game one because he doesn't know what he's up. He might suddenly be up against Semenya unexpectedly, right? So I think there's a chance Smith might start. It'll be one of those two. I think Antonio Silva does stop alongside James Hill. Traffair left back. Alex Scott was suspended for the last friendly. We'll play probably with a chance. We'll play with Adams if he makes it. And then Ray-Anne, Evan Nilsson, Cliver, Tavernier. Pretty confident in that front four will be the starting front four. On Silva, I presume if you were picking him, you probably weren't going to start him this week anyway. But yeah, it was kind of similar thought process here. Your debut might be against Haaland. If like you're not clued, it's little things like, you know, when the press, when they sit off. If you're not, you don't feel like the adaptation is right. And then I think there's maybe a small chance that just for the first game, Diakite would maybe get a nod. But I mean, Iriola went off Diakite massively last year. So James Hill was there at standing defender now. So it doesn't matter who you are, whether it's your first game or your 50th game, Haaland can still murder you. So I'm, I don't know, with Silva, let's see. Yeah. I love all the strong opinions on Haaland, by the way. This happens every year after the Community Shield. People adamant that you have to have him or people adamant that it's a mistake if you have him. The right answer probably sits somewhere in between, unless he does really well, in which case, yeah. And I still think he will. We've been here every year with his underperformance in Community Shield. He's friendly. Haaland doesn't give a shit about that. He'll be motivated for Sunday. Though we weren't good. That is the massive caveat. They weren't good Sunday, but they were playing the best team in the league. Haaland became a father of 30. I coach football. Now Coach Hank saves up to 25% off grocery store prices, 30 pounds of pasta, three cases of protein bars, 75 sports drinks. And that's just pregame. He knows teamwork, and BJ's knows savings.

Suddenly, the laughs get louder, the stories keep flowing and the food tastes better because Pepsi brings out more flavor, more fun and more of the moment. Food deserves Pepsi. Grab a Pepsi Zero Sugar today. Yeah. Alrighty. Where to next, James? St. James's. Go on then, St. James's. James, tell us. Yeah, I mean, quite a bit of guessing here on Newcastle, I must say. So, I've got it at the moment as a horny checking goal, Mr. Horny, Horny, Horny. They've signed a new right-back, Dedic, from Benfica. He's not priced up yet. He'll be 4.5 or 5. I don't think you'll be buying him either way to start with, but I think there's every chance he goes straight into the team because they're obviously very light there. Lewis Miley's brother, there's every chance if he doesn't, there's every chance Lewis Marley's brother might start there there's also a chance lewis miley might start there uh malik chow will play i think it will be dan burn over bartman uh we think dan burn's going to be named captain seems to be the word lewis hall at left back i've got it as streer and lewis miley in midfield the only reason i don't have lewis miley starred there basically is because he obviously is returning from an injury and hasn't had a huge amount of pre-season but did feature last weekend um elenga visabons i'm pretty confident would all play and i think voltamante will play as well the reason i'm just not quite as confident on voltamante who did play with viscer on saturday it's just if he decides to go with something that's a little bit more conservative or has a little bit more legs in that area because they are playing liverpool uh so viscer over voltamante i think if he'd want a choice between the two but yeah hornacek chow hall elenga viscer barnes are the ones i'd be confident in essentially i feel like their midfield can be it could end up being a completely different composition for sunday specifically they are trying to do business dead itch might come straight in burn obviously hasn't played pre-season so it could still be bartman but i know there's concerns about his performances at the moment so yeah they need to do business mate don't they and they do have for them they do they've they've cashed in a little bit so they've got we know they've got a little bit of a war chest so uh them and aston villa are the ones yeah we've got to keep eyes on because there could be a bit of a drop off even though newcastle season last season wasn't what they would expect or hope for liverpool right liverpool i've seen your starting lineup for liverpool uh people on youtube will see on screen and the first thing i wanted to zoom in on and check was rio and gomoa's price because i'd love that to be a a game breaker in fpl if he had a season the way he established himself and it's really interesting you've moved him over to the right hand side going back to front for liverpool you've got allison in goal back four of kirke's van dyke jacquet frimpong midfield graven birch subosh light ahead of them vertz gackt off the left rio and gomoa off the right and isak up top you think right wing is in gomoa's favored position and he just couldn't play there because salah was there or do you think no he's desperation left definitely left greater inability to come inside or go on the outside and on the right it's more on the right coming in field there's a little uncomfortable for him at the moment it's going to be very similar kind of similar situation to mikey more um they'd both be better off off the left hand side i think because it stands and gomoa will start there um it's not going to be 90 minutes if he does um got a factor in monoz he's obviously at the club could play that position we think they're trying to buy bradley barkler and um buyer from paris saint-germain so there are threats incoming to that position so do i like rio and gomoa at this moment as an fpl pick no but as i've said across the last week there will be a point i'm fairly certain over the next couple of years where we will want to go down so he's he's always just what he's just one for the radar i think moving forward constantly the only other one really from that lineup i'm unsure on is jackay versus arojo so everyone who watched liverpool on sunday was extremely impressed with how jackay played but it was 45 minutes and he's obviously he's not really played for five six months that a question mark on then is one thing to do a planned substitution in a friendly for 45 minutes you don't really want to do that in a proper game i don't think really want to do it for a debutant if it was like bringing in a player who's been playing for a long time and he's been playing for a long time joe gomez on for the last 20 minutes and he's played with van dyke for the last six years or whatever you got okay he knows what verge wants to do arojo would be the replacement under that circumstance i don't know if you want to piss about with that in the middle of a game because i think he's possibly going to struggle to get to 90 so i do think there's a chance that he's arojo rather than jacko i do think there's a small chance it's both as a consequence and maybe frimpong plays a little bit higher might be an alternative but frimpong's basically a little bit higher he kind of played right back all through pre-season so jacko might end up being a really good pick you know surge but a very difficult one to to start with start with you can't remember he's not really played football for six months basically yeah so the rest i see no reason why that wouldn't be the rest of the team obviously there's been gapo rumors but even despite those rumors i think he starts sunday i'd be very surprised if anything else happens to him anything happens if he goes anywhere it's going to be tartan i'd be very surprised if anything happens between now and then yep okay uh last but not least we've got the west london derby james fulham hosting chelsea on monday night football um yeah so uh two new managers coming up against each other are both around madrid last season right uh shit i hadn't found that parallel but that's absolutely amazing yeah round madrid's two managers from last season they're playing each other in game one of the premier league um and they're both in the same part of west london yeah that's that's quite something i hadn't yeah very good surge congratulations give yourself a rise mate pretty confident on both of these teams i think there's a small question marks about maybe one or two players for fulham but i'm pretty confident this will be the fulham 11 so uh leno in goal castanho started the last two friendlies so with no reason to think he's not ahead of kenny tete at this point um jockey manderson's obviously suspended so bassy and quenca bassy will play right-sided centre-back we're pretty confident i've seen that it's uncomfortable uh ante robinson left back it won't be in santa berge josh king in front of that oscar bob on the right palacios on the left garcia up front the question marks on that a little bit is a little bit on king and palacios if shea charles plays that's the only one i can think maybe with many of these lineups is starting what could change and i feel like that's the only bit at the moment is maybe shea charles now shea charles would play centrally if he plays could that shove king into a wider area or does it just shove king out the same king obviously not great from a wide position but it could be a big ask for palacios and garcia both to start against an opponent like chelsea in one i think they will um but i think shea charles is the one that could chop it up for one of king or palacios maybe other than that the rest of that nine should all start i think uh i got nine i'm pretty confident on for chelsea as well so on on um on that team that you've put out for chelsea when i look at it on paper james bar the goalkeeper i think it looks pretty bloody good football team there but they've been linked to martinez as well yeah yeah by the way that's a pretty good football team there he's also been linked with tottenham emmy martinez which i'm i'm gonna put my foot throw on say that's not gonna happen but i wouldn't be surprised if you got top i wouldn't be surprised if you got top of chelsea yep even though it's like oh find a pathway for penders now over the course of the next year and they go no we're gonna shove you back the third choice um so look i mentioned that martinez and say forest the other day i do think you want an awareness of that at the moment you know just where could martinez go because you've got uh the goalkeepers played in the last two world cup finals someone's going to think that's a great option it's not necessarily in this country obviously could go abroad but he never went to juventus because the salary demands right so how many places could he go yeah it's true i think you might end up at psj because i don't like i'm not happy with saffron off for a chevalier in gold we all know we all know i'm really not keen so let me read you this chelsea lineup you've gone with robert sanchez and goa quite a Greek back three set up with colwell lacroix and reese james two in front of them caicedo and fernandez you've got palestra on the left and netto on the right operating as wingbacks with two tens palmer and rogers behind xiao pedro like it's a good team that midfield two caicedo fernandez solid that back three is very very good palestra netto offers some width and pace out there i don't know how good they'll be at tracking back or how much they'll be at tracking back they'll need to rogers and palmer behind xiao pedro like that it's strong man it absolutely is um no arguments on that at all i do think there are drop-offs to certain positions like you could take out a key player from that like xiao pedro and you go ah it's short on the nine i take caicedo a short or something um i think the quad's great addition for them by the way as long as they play this system um reese james played in midfield in the final friendly um sorry against caicedo with caicedo wesley for fun obviously started at center back he's suspended so i think reese james will move into right-sided center back for the first couple that obviously then opens the spot for enzo fernandez to come back in the 10 and so fernandez by all accounts did really well when he came on the other day he obviously has been linked with a move away it's still something that could happen in my opinion do you any other one i think rogers is great to go now as i said on monday by the way if anyone wants to go The one I've got a question mark on a little bit is Neto. It's just a small question mark in the sense he's also been linked to a couple of other teams, potentially. I do get the vibe that if Chelsea got an offer they were happy with, they would sell him. And there are other obvious options. For example, maybe it's wrong or maybe Rhys James will play wingback is a possibility. Jamie Gittins, I think, could play the role on the left-hand side. And Palestra is equally comfortable playing left or right. It doesn't seem to matter for him. And they've also bought, so moving Palestra to the right, another possibility here. They've bought Pep Chavarria from Real Vallecano, who's been priced up at £5 million, can definitely play the left wingback role. And we've not seen how that really gets integrated yet. So I think Palestra is good to go. Just a small question mark on Neto. But as it stands, I think he'll start. Cool. There we go. I think it's a pretty decent rundown on all of the teams. Obviously, some a little bit more certain than others. What have we got for the rest of the week for the listeners, James? We've got a special guest on Friday now. Yeah. Ask James Thursday, tomorrow. And then we're going to do final drafts Friday. And yeah, Mr. Hunter is joining us now. So it's going to be a threesome, darling. Lovely. Caveats. See these predicted lineups for people to take away. First thing is my opinion. If you disagree with that or you've got better insight on something than me, then praise to you. That's absolutely fine. Let us know in the comments, feedback, the stuff you disagree with, what you think might be different. Please remember to be nice to each other, including to me and such. There are things here that could obviously change. Give you an example. Later today, Watkins goes to Al-Hilal and Villa take Jackson on loan from Chelsea. I think there's every chance. Jackson will start on Saturday. If Savino did join Tottenham today, which I now cannot foresee at all, he will start on Saturday. So there are still a few things and a few certain circumstances that I think something could still change. I think the deadline for registration, I would think, is 12 o'clock Friday. I would think. I don't know if that's any earlier for Arsenal and commentary because they're playing night one. And because it's a Friday deadline, there's a possibility. That registration may actually be tomorrow on Thursday. But be aware. Obviously, listen to team news. And obviously, you can get the team news with me for advanced here on Patreon.
