Hello and welcome to another podcast from Fantasy Football Scout. It's the Goals Imminent Show where we use underlying stats to predict future returns in the Fantasy Premier League game. Welcome, everyone.

Hi, Joe. Hi, everyone. Welcome to the Goals Imminent Podcast. My name is Marc. Today's show will be slightly different to usual, with it being the international break. But I'm going to start with the standard question.

How are you doing?

Joe (1:11)

Yeah, good, good. So I'm on a small red arrow in my game week, but I'm undeterred because I'm wildcarding. And so I feel I feel quite good about that, professionally my team, but also the familiar fears as well, because I do a lots of these videos with people, I feel general and a few failed wildcards over the weeks. And I'm anxious to make the same mistakes. And I think the only mistake I might make be making, well, it's not really a mistake, because I've sort of counted for it, is Manchester United could get better under Pochettino who could join, and will I want Bruno Fernandes? Because we've seen that he can be worth that money, sort of a regular captain, 10 points, blah, blah. But he might not be.

But I've got, so I'm quite low, weak in my midfield and my wildcard, but I do have Gabriel and Isaac there. So I've got these two cash cows. So four million can be from Gabriel instantly. I can get another four million from Isaac. So in two moves, I could turn Rogers to Bruno Fernandes if I desired.

So I feel okay about that now. So I'm within two moves of correcting an error potentially, but I'm going to bank on it not being an error getting him in. But I also have the same, the weird, I'm going to do a video on my wildcard next week, so I'll shout about it in a sec. But one of the weirdest things was over the, because I did my wildcard, like as soon as the game update on Friday night, like during the Everton game, I just did the wildcard and it hasn't really changed. But loads of those players I got in, obviously, because I wanted to get them in, did really well over the weekend. So I found myself sort of cheering their points and thinking, hang on a minute, I'm not getting their points yet. So John McGinn, and I'm thinking, oh, John McGinn, 10 points, oh, wait a minute, I'm never going to get that. And also the way I've set up, I'm never going to play him. But anyway, so that's how I'm. So a red arrow, but quite happy and looking forward to the future and all the mistakes ahead. But anyway, how are you doing?

Marc (3:12)

Oh, I mean, every decision I make is a mistake. It's hard to have that in terms of FPL. They're just all based on fear.

Way too much over thinking. Suddenly got a template squad full of players that you can't really gain from even having to cheer against some of them, like only having two Arsenal defenders.

Joe (3:34)

I only have one. I'm waiting for them to drop. I only have one. But yeah, it's true. Yeah, because they're 250% owned.

Two Arsenal defenders is not enough.

Marc (3:45)

Exactly. So cheering against those two, you're not going to gain much if Harland does something. And same for Gross when he did, but didn't get. So it's just a bit of a little at the moment. And by the way, my wife's team, which to be fair is completely me.

She hasn't got a clue who's in it. No thought goes into that. And she's 1500 in the world.

Joe (4:10)

Wow. OK, nice.

Marc (4:12)

With five free transfers to use.

Joe (4:14)

Well, you should have just said it was hers rather than yours, because that means you're running two teams.
