Hello, everyone. Welcome back to the UEFA Fantasy Podcast, and welcome to our Match Day 3 review.

I'm your host, Daniel, and I'm John today by Hayden. Hayden, how are you getting on, mate?

Hayden (1:57)

Yeah, not too bad, thanks. I mean, what first chips out of the way for both of us, it'll be nice to have a bit of a calmer week with less planning in a couple of weeks' time.

Dan (2:07)

Yeah, I'm glad that I don't have spreadsheets in front of me now to think of who I'm going to wildcard in.

And spoiler alert, for this podcast, I'm very disappointed with my wildcard. Not that it was, like, awful, awful. It certainly could have been worse, but it's still disappointing, and I'm left with some players that I'm just thinking, oh, God, why have I got them? You had a much better week on Limitless, but in traditional fashion, we will go through our league. Who did what, where we are, all that sort of stuff. And we'll leave the spoilers for a little bit later. Now, after two weeks on top for me, I did finish bottom this week with 74 points despite using a wildcard. So, let's get into the absolute mess of this. My two keepers between them conceded eight goals, so...

Hayden (3:03)

You went full Lewis with your keeper choices this week as well.

Dan (3:06)

Yeah, I went full Lewis with my keeper choices. I went hiking from Bordeaux Glimt, which to be honest, I'm all right with them for the home games generally. Like the away games, it is a bit of a problem.

But I've got two home games coming up. My two keepers actually play each other next week, but I'm really not bothered because they're both four and a half million. The other one is Leels Urza. Now, I got lucky with this because he was my second day keeper. I conceded for one shot saved, zero point there. However, some apps are showing him as having an own goal and the game did not take it that way. So I know he lost a couple of points on him. So it's a great start to the wild card. It's a great start to the wild card. My back five is abysmal. So Grimaldo got three points. Although I did put him in for future weeks. I didn't want to make a match day five transfer forum. So I wasn't expecting an awful lot. Hikimi five points. Hikimi could have had a brace plus more assists.

Just before Hernandez scored his goal, from that corner was Torres missing a sitter and Hikimi put it on a plate for him. Sergi Altamira conceded three goals to LASK, but got ten ball recoveries. So he finished on four points. Kuiyo in a one nil loss to PSV got three points. Kanate didn't play at all. And until three minutes before the deadline, I had Ramon in there who scored. So that was a bit of a pill to swallow.
