Jägermeister knows that there's people who watch the game and people who know the game. Knowers know rivalries aren't heated. They're ice cold.

They know rankings change. Traditions don't. And they know that when you drink Jägermeister on game day, you drink it ice cold. Otherwise, you just don't know the game.

So drink it ice cold or don't drink it at all. Jägermeister, damn, that's cold. Drink responsibly. Jägermeister liqueur, 35% alcohol by volume. Imported by Mass Jägermeister US, White Plains, New York.

Hello and welcome to another video and podcast from Fantasy Football Scout as we take a look under the bonnet of Fantasy Premier League's Defcon and Bonus Point awards. Hello, welcome everyone. My name is Joe and today I'm joined by our resident Defcon and Bonus Point expert, Tom Hadley, to see who's getting those extra points and the players we should be targeting in the Fantasy Premier League game. Welcome, Tom. How are you?

Tom Hadley (1:43)

Very well. Thanks, Joe. Green arrow for me this week, so always happy.

Joe (1:48)

Yeah, yeah, I got a red arrow for me, but a small one, thankfully. I'm still hovering around the top 50k, but you take that this week. I'll take that. Yeah, it basically a series of absolutely catastrophic events happened involving surprise injuries, own goals from the most popularly-owned players, sending off from popular players. It just everything went wrong.

And I didn't have concert, so it went doubly wrong for me on Saturday. But yeah, to escape-

Tom Hadley (2:21)

I don't know if you've seen some of those team screenshots of some people that have had like 10 points this week. And the teams are actually like-

Joe (2:29)

Yeah.

Tom Hadley (2:30)

They're not bad at all. You know, you've got Cherokee, you've got Palmer, Gross.

Joe (2:34)

Yeah.

Tom Hadley (2:35)

And there's Saka in there, you know, he's injured and you've got Joe Pedro didn't play.

Joe (2:38)

Yeah. I mean, it's like absolutely crazy. You know, no one predicted that Spurs result. And it was just one of those weeks where exactly, yeah, you could get, you could end up with like 10 points. No problem with a really good side because we had all these really good players, which is getting zeros or minus ones.

Tom Hadley (2:54)

Like Calafuri as well. Like he's got one.

Joe (2:57)

Yeah, in my team.

So yeah, unless you've got like one or two of those that did well, but some of those were the ones we'll talk about in the Defcon points there. So players that we have been mentioning every week, and they're coming in and delivering for their owners. I'm certainly pleased I got Muramovich in a couple of weeks ago. He saved my bacon this week.

One thing I wanted to talk about, and because I've still got a wild card, so have you, and others might just have transfers. But it's something about the shifting template with Parma, everyone hates him, because he can't read carded, and he's not doing very well. Saka injured, Bruno Fernandes actually dropped from his own team, which is incredible for him. We just don't need money in midfield anymore. So we're starting to look at Gabrielle. We're starting to look at Isaac perhaps as well. Have you noticed that as well, that this template shift between moving money from midfield out towards defense, some of our Defcon people and attacking players?

Tom Hadley (4:24)

It's crazy how the landscape can change in just a couple of weeks, isn't it? Yeah, I've noticed because we've got so much value around that 6 million, well, 5 to 6 million bracket across the whole squad, like in all the positions, whenever one of those particular positions are excelling. So at this point, the midfielders in that bracket are...
