Hello and welcome to another video and podcast from Fantasy Football Scout. It's game week nine, deadline time, sir, very, very soon. And here's all the latest team news to help you prepare.

Hello, welcome, everyone. My name is Joe. Welcome, Neale. Neale, how are you?

Neale (1:55)

Not so bad, Joe, as ever. Yeah, how was yourself?

Joe (1:57)

Yeah, good. Doing well, doing well. I had a bit of a bit of a worry this week that I've been I've been noticing there's some AI generated FPL content on YouTube at the moment, sort of fake people with sort of boring, monotone voices reading out statistics. And for a moment, I mean, these these people are beautiful as well. So for a moment, I actually thought I may be AI generated.

But then I quickly realized that no one would make someone this stunning and that boring.

Neale (2:28)

Are you too harsh on yourself there?

Joe (2:30)

Okay.

Chelsea Manchester United, first game. What's the latest from Chelsea?

Neale (3:13)

Yes, so we know by now, of course, that Joao Pedro is going to be out.

There is not a definite timeline yet, but he will be out for a few weeks. That was Alonso's last update on him. And we've seen from reports in Brazil that he's going to miss the internationals as well. So we're looking at the bare minimum, earliest of what, Gameweek 11 for return. So I felt very much we'll be seeing him before then. So he's out, Rich James out, Gittins as well, Anselmo Szilard, Jorrell Hatos now joined those on the sidelines, and so too has Maxence Lacroix. He picked up a hamstring issue in the EFL Cup in midweek. And again, he's going to be out the other side of the November internationals.

Better news from Caicedo because he is fine again. He came off from midweek, but he's no issue then. And Pep Chavarria is also back in the squad again. He's been absent lately. And another bit of positivity concerning Martinez. So he's not going to be ready for this one, but there's a chance he could return earlier than expected before the internationals. And of course, one player we've not mentioned yet, Cole Palmer, not red flags, he moved second half last weekend. His one-match ban was served in midweek.

Joe (4:25)

And Pedro is obviously out for this one. Is it looking like he could be back just after the international break? Or is it just no timeline yet?

Neale (4:35)

There's just no timeline yet. I think that Gameway 11 is the earliest. There's just not a timeline yet on him.

Joe (4:42)

Okay. I'm looking to wildcard then. And so I may or may not have Pedro on my side there. Remains to be seen over the international break.
