25. Gameweek 22: Slow descent

Gameweek 22 is done and we have 16 weeks left to go!
How was gameweek 22 for you? Did you have Kluivert? did you captain him? Did you avoid captaining Salah/Isak/Palmer? I did not and i paid the price with 6 points! Isak/Palmer/Wood continue to deliver!

With an average gameweek average of 46 points it seems like an accurate reflection of a tricky gameweek! The highest tally was 128(A triple captain for a change!)

We look at the the gameweek....many disappointments..especially if you are a Joao Pedro/Isak/Palmer/Jackson/Iwobi/Salah holder..

We look at the gameweek, go over the stats and and stories surrounding our league table (We have a new league leader! but its controversial) before looking forward to gameweek 23 and hoping to do better!
The gameweek starts on a regular saturday! but be cognizant of the mid week european fixtures as you ponder on your team selection

Let's study how you wish to go for the coolest game I'll watch it, take training with my fantasy team Go rise to the top, no one can stop me Come make 'em drop Hello everybody, and welcome to 38 Weeks to Go, your weekly podcast about fantasy football I am your host Nash, and let's go over the previous week Game week 22 is done, and boy am I relieved I had a horrible week, how was your week? So, my horror begun on the Saturday itself I thought to myself, let me change my captain from Salah I know he's not gonna do well against forest So what will I do? I will change my captain to Palma So I set my team and leave it So when Salah does nothing against forest I look at my team, well not forest, but Brentford Sorry, I look at my team, and I say okay, he's done nothing But then I hadn't saved my changes And this makes two weeks in a row that I haven't made my changes And so now I was just hoping for Palma not to perform Well thankfully he didn't, so at least my captain, I didn't lose because I would have done nothing anyway They say misery loves company, and boy is that true I was looking at Isaac captain and I was just like, yes And then of course, the minute you remove your bonnoth assets Clavitt has a hat trick A bunch of us were confident in forest's ability to keep a clean sheet That did not end well Brentford were keeping a clean sheet up until the 90th minute And then they just conceived two goals Clean sheet's gone, although to be fair If you were expecting a Brentford clean sheet, you were really hopeful I asked no longer keeping clean sheets at home So that trend is done And so if you're doubling up, I don't even know what to tell you Everton have been unable to score then suddenly they scored three And now we are faced with a question of Is Dominique covered lowering up possibility? Of course, I would ask you to wait because you know what happened When you rush to bring in a mud into your team Monciti are back Foodin is going to make it very difficult for us to not have them in our teams And then Newcastle, just what? A bunch of us also rushed to bring in a wobie Fantasy, fantasy stuff The highest game of the weekend saw Monciti beat Ipswich 6-0 After Halon's quarter-hatric in the first fixture, I was really tempted to put him as a captain But I wasn't convinced The painful lesson for me in this week was that Pepper let his back I had Savigno, or Savio, and he did not play So he's off of my team, I'm not about to take chances when I'm doing nothing Monciti has started the year in a promising way Foodin had two goals Also, Doku passed the ball to Halon for a goal I think that might be his first or second assist to Halon since he joined He must have watched Savio and Lanta thing or two So, Foodin had two goals Doku had a goal Halon had a goal Kovacic had a goal Makati had a goal De Bruyne had three assists Doku had an assist Foodin had an assist And Kovacic hadn't assist as well So as you can imagine, Foodin had three bonus points Kovacic had two And Doku had one I'm honestly surprised that De Bruyne didn't have another one He was very impactful in this fixture Monciti have also made signings Or they might be complete by the time the weekend comes I don't know if they'll be registered for fantasy by that time But we will see They seem to be strengthening in every position But the rotary hole that was left But who am I? I'm not Pep The problem seemed obvious but it maybe it wasn't Ipswich just played the better team And were humbled I've said this many times There's no easy fixture for Ipswich And this is just a strong reminder of that I don't think there's a Luton this year The guys who came up Seemed like they're most likely to go down When it comes to The most disappointing game It's quite hard Because on one hand You have Newcastle 1 Bonemoth 4 Mainly because Newcastle were on some great unbeaten run They were looking so impressive Everybody was jumping on the bandwagon Isak, Kimaraj, Gordon And now they just get hammered And if you watch that game It don't speak to him Clive had just looked like he was ready He wanted to show his dad that he's amazing I have no idea But he was inspired And Newcastle just had nothing Another random thing is Spurs 2 Everton 3 Everton really This is both a disappointing and a surprising fixture Because I honestly thought Everton were incapable of scoring And what it's called like 13 I guess nights about 16, 8 to 18 goals Only It's just ridiculous This got 3 And Spurs had to come back Well still lost So maybe the new manager bounce is real Has DCL been unlocked As Spurs A disappointing team Is it shocking that they lose? That's why I'm bothered Or troubled in calling this a disappointing outcome But it's definitely surprising And then you have Mine United 1 Brighton 3 In the previous podcast I told you guys If Brighton just Take the chances that Come their way They will get a result Every time we think Manchester United are making progress They quickly remind you Oh no no no We're not going anywhere They're like a reverse Chelsea Well now that you've had my contenders I'm just going to go for One more 4 Newcastle 1 It's disappointing because After such a long and beaten run To be hammered at home And to lose the way they lost It's It feels like we were all lied to Because now we're questioning like And you castle who we thought they are It's a kind of defeat where it's Kind of destabilizing Just in Clavat Scored three goals Clackers had one Adams Clavat Dango Semenio Had the assists Bruno De Mariche Scored the equalizer No And the whole had the assist Clavat of course had the three bonus points Somehow Bruno De Mariche Got two And Adams and Brookes got one each Clackers has been low key The best defense that you get From Bonnath An honorable mention is Chelsea 3 Wolves 1 People were expecting a repeat of the previous match And it delivered exactly half the result 3-1 instead of 6-2 So I guess Wolves have improved? Or Chelsea worse? I don't know There were four clean sheets this weekend Let's look at the top performers Of the weekend The best goalkeeper was Alison from Liverpool He had nine points Edison and Leno both had seven Henderson had six And Kepa had three Crystal Palace's defense is sneaky good When it comes to defenders Trent Alexander Arnold The most expensive defender had 11 Kukureia had nine Chaloba had eight Gay Had eight along with Robinson Who had eight as well midfield was King And the performer of the weekend was Mr. Clavat He had 22 points Foden had 19 points Cauvercic had 13 points Minthe and Mitama each had 12 points De Bruyne had 12 Along with Dokku Idris Galagae had 11 Emma Smith wrote had 11 And Trossard had 10 When it comes to Fords Mateta had 13 Wood had 12 Dauenunius had 11 What can's had eight And Havot's And the Iowa tied for seven Looking at stats from the weekend Chelsea's goalkeeper Mr. Robert Sanchez Is the second most prone goalkeeper to make mistakes The first is Muric So it shows that Chelsea could do better I know many thought Alana would be higher but he isn't Manchester City scored six goals against Ipswich This is the thirteenth time They have scored six or more goals Underpeppe This is tied with Asen Wenger And now only Sir Alex's Manchester United have done more Which is 14 So he's probably going to leave with that record too Manchester United have suffered Their sixth home defeat In the Premier League This is their most from the opening 12-4 matches In a domestic season Since 1893-1894 Wow Sometimes history is not so great It just makes you look bad Like you're historically bad Everton were leading Spurs Three nil at half time It's the first time they've done that Lead by three goals at half time Since 2017 Which is over seven years ago A random stat In 22 Premier League games this season Nottingham first have gone up One nil In 18 of them In the competition's history Only Manchester City's 2011-12 And 2018-19 Have ever done so Or more In opening 22 fixtures That's a great company Saliba is missing for Arsenal And since the start of 2022-23 Arsenal have considered 0.8 goals But Premier League game When he's playing And that's 85 matches And 1.7 When he hasn't featured And that is 13 matches And that just tells you everything you need To know about their defence So if you're doubling up Don't you dare do it until he's back Arsenal were two nil up against Villa And they ended the match in a draw It's the first time since 2019 That they've gone too up Without winning Arsenal have scored 11 goals from crosses 11 And Trostad is one of only two players To assist two or more goals via crosses Dom's guard Is the other person And by that I mean In a game In a game Since his first Premier League campaign In 22-23 Liverpool's Darwinunius has been directly involved In more goals as a substitute Than any other player Which is 11 Seven goals and four assists But if John Duran continues I'm sure he'll be catching up soon Porter's new manager bound seems to be done West Ham weren't able to record a short run target In a Premier League game For the second time this season The last time they did that was 2-5-0-6 It's not going to be easy This is going to sound silly Because you'd think there'll be more people who have done this But Justin Clavitt Joins a list of six people ahead of him Who have scored Two hat tricks away from home Ian Wright Robie Fowler Michael Owen Suarez Harry Kane And Sterling I know you thought Haland would be there But no, hasn't happened Salah hasn't done it as well Only hasn't done it It's crazy In six attempts Eddie Howe has failed to win Any of his Premier League games against Bon Moth Which is his former team Only Rafa Benitez I have struggled more with seven When he was trying to go against Liverpool Which is more understandable Bon Moth not so much Justin Clavitt's hat trick Was the 20th hat trick scored by a Dutch person In the Premier League Only Mo Salah Who has scored 11 goals Has scored more Premier League away goals Than Justin Clavitt As Manchester United manager Amorim has now lost half I mean another Over half Of his Premier League matches He has played 11 games Two draws, three wins, six losses Oh and in case you haven't heard Mr Elling Haland signed A ridiculous deal Which is Going to be nine years And they say it's just shy of One million Pounds per week Just a little shy Antony will be leaving the Premier League To join Batisse on loan Kyle Walker is going to Milan on loan I guess everything I'll talk about him early in the season was true Carnarcho seems like he could be on the way out Paul Torres has left Aston Villa I'm just giving you this thing So that you can know To move your players Or to watch the space On this day three years ago Dennis Was playing for what for the other time Got a red card On a double game week And it ended in minus three And that was so painful I had him in my team Five managers Triple captain Just in private 66 points I got 36 How did people wake up And say I'm going to triple captain Private How? It doesn't make any sense Over the last four weeks Mr Wood has returned 12 and 22 Nine in Game of 21 Eight in Game of 20 And 12 in Game of 19 Well done to you Wood owners Aston Villa have signed a very interesting person Daniel Marlon From Dogmond He is quite a crafty figure And if he kicks on well He will be trouble So keep an eye on him At 5.5 He could be a steal Ola Ina Is the first defender to reach 100 points this season Wow Monchester United have signed Abdukoder Khusanov Just to enhance a pebblelet I'm sorry When I said Paul Torres I meant Kyuegukalos He's been signed From Aston Villa to Finnebace Right on beat Manchester United At Old Trafford For the third time in a row They're only the second team To ever do that In Premier League history If you're wondering who the first team was It was Manchester City Five years ago Ellinghamon scored a hat trick On his Bundesliga debut For Borussia Dortmund He was subbed on in the 56th minute And scored Three minutes later And had three goals by the 79th minute His man had a great destiny As you may or may not know Patrick Leivart The father Of Justin Leivart Played for Newcastle In his 10 appearances For Newcastle at St James's Park He scored one goal Justin Has surpassed him in a single match With a hat trick on the same ground The most captain player this week Was more Salah The most selected player this week Was more Salah The most wise captain player this week Was Palma As you can imagine The most transfers in this week Clivart Three hundred and thirty thousand Wood Two hundred and one thousand Trent One hundred and ninety three thousand Foden One hundred and forty one thousand Hall One twenty eight thousand Top players out Saliba Two hundred and nineteen thousand Jackson One hundred and eighty eight thousand Palma One hundred and forty thousand Salan Ki One twenty six thousand Our imminent one or seven thousand The average points this week Was forty six Which is much lower than last week So we're not doing well And I guess that's what happens When all of us collectively Put our eggs in the salad bowl The highest points this week Was one twenty eight And a break from the norm It was a triple captain And not a bench boost Somebody triple captain Foden Can you believe that? Who wakes up on triple captains Foden? Well, I guess he had some form That might make more sense than Clivart Especially since Those five people Were captaining him against Newcastle Which is a team in form At least Foden was playing Ipswich So in a way You were either captaining him or Holland Anyway So in goal This guy had Onana A team, by the way, it's called FC Goro And defense Looked in Four points Robinson Eight points Gukureya Nine points Luis Diaz Three points Gordon Two points Triple captain Foden Fifty seven points Which is already more than what I got Then he had Clivart as well Twenty two points So from those two players He had seventy nine points Goodness And then he had Wood Twelve points Watkins Eight points Nicholas Jackson Two points That was a great team Congratulations to you, sir When it comes to our league table Where thirty eight weeks to go The table Brought to you by Rinoa 1 Our number one Was Freddy Faris Who has a team name Which is just letters F said L P B J Eighty four points And this team In goal He had Allison Then he had Trent Then he had Akanji Sorry Allison had nine Trent had eleven Akanji had six Rubindias had six So wow He really banked on Liverpool and City Konsa had one Mitima had twelve Gordon had two As they had six Foden had 19 Watkins had eight And Isak had four Well, not a bad team But as you can tell with Eighty four It just shows you how tough It was for our table this week Number two Was Ken Kimani Who got seventy five Was tagged with Kojo Danso Who got seventy five as well And in number four We have Oya Dele Oladuni who got seventy three And Khalid Muhammad rounds up the top five With seventy points Along with Ron Chisaka And Dennis Mutua Who also got seventy points When it comes to Overall runcriser Kojo Danso Rose seven hundred and ninety Nine thousand global positions Keep it up sir And in our league KK Wanderers Jumped Twenty two positions Thanks to their performance Keep it up The highest team value Remains with Suraj Bhagane 106.6 Wow, that's just wild Whilst the highest Changing team value Is Mut Akil Hasmi They increased the team value By zero point seven The most transfers made this week Were done by Patrick Kaiser Who made seven Antoine Quela made six Along with Usef Umar Number four Was Edmund Gautambi And number five Was Alimuddin When it comes to Best transfer outcomes Mother Ganib Kihoro The man who was interviewed Two episodes ago Gained an impressive Twenty seven points Thanks to their transfers Brought in wood Gave him twelve And four then who gave him Nineteen and he removed Gagpo who had two And Bomo who had two Well done Number two was August Manu Who had twenty four points Number three Was Mark Morro Who had twenty two points Number four was David Moi Tied with Cyril Mutali and Neville Jabali Who gained seventeen points Well done The team with the most School Scorers this week Was Ayudelle Oladuni Who had six School Scorers Tied with Jeremiah O'Berry And Dennis Mutua Who also had six Jeremiah O'Berry Well, long time I hope you're doing well When it comes to the streak Of green arrows Vibav Naik, manager of Bud King 15 Has had a streak of Eleven straight gamemics Rising in the global ranks Keep it up, sir When it comes to captain choices Mo Salah is our king 109 people chose him as captain Number two was Isak 43 people chose him as captain Number four was Palmer 27 people chose him as captain Number five was Holland Chosen by 23 people After that You have Wood who was chosen by 19 people Nicholas Jackson chosen by three Goodness Solanki chosen by three as well Kune had chosen by two Savino by one Madison by one Highland by one Food and by one De Bruyne by one De La by one Oh goodness somebody thought Somebody Mr De La would perform In Manchester City I guess that's fantasy for you And then what King's was chosen by one And Harvard's was chosen by one When it comes to the not so great stats Escobar season Dropped 22 ranks In our league table When it comes to Disappointing transfer outcomes Patrick Kyser Manager of Manchester United And I was connected Lost 32 points By the transfers made The citizens managed by Lhasa De Bruyne Negative 20 Don Clinton Negative 16 Escobar season Negative 14 Ramon Paul's Negative 11 Most points on the bench This week goes to lawyer Malik Managed by Abdul Malik Alawadi Left 31 points on the bench And this one is particularly painful Because... Climate was on the bench I mean it makes sense He hasn't been really doing well But... He got 22 points And the rest of his midfield combined Don't even reach 12 Okay they do Okay so it's No, actually they don't Salah 6 Palmer 2 Boomer 2 That's 10 And it will be 1 That's 11 Oh so it's just half Number 2 Was Denis Kombwad 28 On the bench Yepasua 22 Along with Regan Orina And number 5 Was Mood Akil Hasmi With 20 Marquestha United Yes you have me right Managed by Marc Lucuago Is a team that has lost the most value this week With them losing 0.8 Mr Escobar season has lost 608,000 positions Global rank Gift Choni Gift O Mullangi Has continued his Streak of Red Arrows And this is his 11th Week in a row The team that got the least points this week Is Katambe managed By Boz Ogala They got 23 points I want to laugh but I got 36 So it's not too far away from that They had Emiliano Martinez in goal For 2 Virgil van Dyke for 6 1 Biskaka 1 Gabriel 1 Trippier 0 Then Mo Salah 6 That's Captain Madison 2 Oh they got 2 Muniz 1 Armstrong 1 Patan Dhaka 1 Okay this is It's also not a great team Number 2 was Hector Orembo Manager of the Spartans who got 24 Number 3 was Escobar season Who has been mentioned a lot in this episode Got 25 Along with Ibrahim Ali manager of Yas Who got 25 as well And rounding up the top 5 is Eliasa de Broin Manager of citizens They got 27 Lower steam value this week Is Hilary Malik Whose team is valued at 96.9 Looking at our table Emmanuel Birek is our new leader A new entrant which raises a question One should we close the league And the answer is that I've closed the league There will be no more new entrants after this I am not sure when the cut-off should be But I will talk to my partner Arena 1 and we will come to a conclusion about this So Emmanuel Birek is number 1 The team is called Free Transfer They have 14.99 points Dubois FPL is number 2 With 14.58 Abdullah Kili is number 3 with 14.41 Number 4 Is Yusufa Makoko with 14.40 Hamoudi At number 5 has 14.32 Number 6 Is John Montgomery recess at pieces With 14.24 Alan Mushangi has 14.23 Number 8 is Oti Omondi 14.22 Tired with Texas 10s Who has 14.22 And at number 10 We have the work at that 14.21 So from number 1 To number 10 Is 72 points Between number 1 and number 2 Is 41 points At the bottom of the table Don Quinton is still holding strong They have 630 points 236 Is Duncan Anzigare Who has 838 points 235 Is Boz Ogala 871 points Patrick Kyser got 883 points And fifth from bottom Is Gift Omolangi With 908 points So you can see from 237 to 232 It's over 300 points That's quite a gap And that's the bottom 5 Between the bottom 5 And the top 5 The gap is ridiculous, right? 10.21 Looking forward to the next game week It must be mentioned That as I'm recording this Champions League is going on If you can Wait a bit And make your team After the Champions League games If you're going to be Selecting from Champions League Or Europa League players Game week 3 starts on Saturday And ends on Sunday There'll be no Monday fixture Kicking us off Will be Bonemoth vs Nottingham Forest It is not a marquee game But it feels like a marquee game Bonemoth were impressive Last time out against Newcastle Hammering them 4-1 With Cliver leading the way Whilst Nottingham Forest Did the business And beat Southampton 3-2 When looking at injuries Smith, Scott, Unal, Evanosen, Hill Arowju, Sinistera, Sanasi, Tavernier Are all out for Bonemoth And yet they still deliver While Sangare is out for Forest Their recent head-to-head has 3 draws And 2 victories For Bonemoth Bonemoth have won the fixtures 3-2 All the draws have been 1-1 And if that tells you anything It's that There will be goals Bonemoth have scored 14 goals In their last 5 matches They have been given the most penalties They haven't lost to Bonemoth Tooth Forest in the last 9 meetings 5 wins, 4 draws Of course, Forest are a different beast this season They've scored 11 goals in the last 5 Have kept the most clean sheets And a ranked second away from home So this game is completely unpredictable Except that both teams will score Now, should you believe this For Wood I mean, look at me getting at myself For Nottingham Forest Wood Hmm, Forest Wood Never really thought of that claim in words Anyway, focus Wood Hudson O'Doy And Morgan Gibbs Ward Are you a favorite? You've just had me read out the defensive stats It's not looking great for Forest So I would encourage you If you have 2 or 3 defenders Maybe just have 1 I think that would be the best way to approach this If you're looking at Bonemoth You had the stats Many people have brought in Clavitt Clavitt Semenio And maybe Kirkes Or if not, maybe Watara Those would be the best options From those 2 teams Right then versus Everton Suddenly this fixture isn't as predictable As it could have been With Everton upsetting Spurs And Brighton upsetting Manchester United These are teams looking like they're promising This is a very difficult fixture to call I would still stick with the home team Which is Brighton But I don't think it'll be straightforward This will be a good game to measure Whether Everton beating Spurs was a fluke Or if they figured out how to finally attack Now it looks like they are no longer going to be as compact As they were defending So that makes it difficult to recommend a defender If I was to choose Everton as it's right now I would say India is a first one It is gonna gaze a second And then you have DCR Mr. Kovac Lewin as your third From Brighton For me it's Cleared Mitoma and Minte And then Gumbel with Balabar Now the next match sees Liverpool take on Ipswich Liverpool beat Brentford at the death 2-0 Well Ipswich were hammered 6-0 by Manchester City Liverpool are the best team in England So this is looking like all roads point to Salah, captain I honestly wouldn't be surprised If there are people who are going to captain I don't mean captain but triple captain him Liverpool beat their morning 2-0 last time out With Salah and Jota scoring I'm honestly going to captain Salah I'm not even going to lie to you Now if you believe in Liverpool Salah, Kakpo Maybe Nunez And your defender of choice Could be Trunk but that might be too expensive Could be Van Dyke Or could be Conate who's 5.1 It's a good entry into the Liverpool defence On the Ipswich and If you believe they will score It's really going to be through the lap And Hutchinson Southampton take on Newcastle Now Southampton to me have been very impressive Even if they've been losing in the last few games They lost Manchester United They lost again to Nottingham Forest They did well to come back from 3-0 to 3-2 The Scotland looks respectable They have found something I know this looks like an easy victory for Newcastle And on paper it should be But Southampton have found something And that makes them a little bit more unpredictable I wouldn't put two defenders from Newcastle Maybe just stick to one Of course if you're choosing their assets It's ESAC still Hall who seems to be crossing And creating assists And then Aaron Gordon On the Southampton end I'll be honest I was very surprised with their squad selection There was a rotation that I didn't see coming Which makes this game a little bit more difficult To predict in terms of who will play Honestly I don't know why you would be Looking to enter Southampton assets But if for whatever reason That's what you want to do I would say for Nandes Still Sulemana because I'm still Left impressed by him And on what you Wilson, Barnes, LaSells and Popa are out Whilst for Newcastle Whilst Bazunu, Stevens, Stewart and Dibling Are unavailable for Southampton Newcastle beat them narrowly last time out One meal And on that occasion it was Joe Linton Who was the scorer Do without information what you will However they also had a red card Very early on in that game So that might have influenced the outcome Oh and if you remember that game Peraton Dias missed many chances And I honestly haven't seen him since I don't know what happened But he really fell out of favor Wolves take on Arsenal And this should be an interesting game I believe Wolves should be beaten They have nothing going for them right now Arsenal seem to score two goals in this game In the last five games They've beaten them by a scrolling of two nil Two nil, two one, two nil And then five nil So Arsenal are clear favorites The favorite amount of goals to score is two Now Trozad, Havertz and Matinelli Should be your favorite picks from their team Cunier, Huang and Stran Lassen Should be your favorites from the other side Traore, Gonzalez, Khaledcich, Gomez and Mosquera Out for Wolves whilst Ben White Saka, Jesús, Tomoyasu and Saliba are out for Arsenal The marquee game sees Manchester City take on Chelsea Now, given their form, I would say Manchester City are favorites for this fixture Chelsea ever since their crown potential winners They have decided to not play And so I think this really skews in favor of Manchester City Holland, Foden and Dokou And De Bruyne Pick your three, those should be your players For Chelsea, I've seen a lot of people moving out of Palma And it makes sense, they have not been great But it's still Palma who's their favorite threat And then you have Nicolas Jackson and possibly Madweke The head-to-head favors Manchester City as you might expect With three victories, one draw No, three victories for Manchester City and two draws However, you slice it, it's not looking great for Chelsea And that's the problem of this game It is a marquee game on paper But I still feel Bonemouth noting them for us would be the better game And I've ever thought those words will ever leave my mouth But they just did On Sunday, we have Crystal Palace vs Brentford This will be a very good game as well Just listen to these results from their history Most recently, Brentford beat Palace 2-1 Crystal Palace beat Brentford 2-1 And then before that 1-1 draw, 1-1 draw, 1-1 draw Neil New draw, Neil New draw, 1-1 draw So more often than not, this game ends as a draw Although their most recent games have each side winning The victories have come to the home team And therefore Crystal Palace are slightly favoured And should you believe that Matetta Esse Sar are the best bets going forward The defence has been good of late Brentford have been bad away from home And that combination means that if you're looking to the defence Munoz, Gay and Henderson are good bets For Brentford, honestly, it's just with some Bumo and then one of the guards Thumbs guard or no guard Tottenham take on Leicester And this should see Tottenham win at home At least that's what I'm hoping for Since I have Kolosevski Rude has been having a tough job And it seems hopeless Spurs have Johnson, Romero, Udoji, Solanki, Foster, Vicarrio, Van de Ven, Bettenko, Werner, Odabir, Bismar All are unavailable for this game While Leicester have Fatau, Hamansen, D.D. Pereira Now, of course It seems like Spurs have too many players out It should be a tougher game For them than it should have been So Leicester will feel like they have a chance And it's also Spurs You always have a chance against them And Everton have just proven that recently Leicester were beaten last time out And they'll be looking to just not lose Son, Kolosevski Henry Charlison are your best bets for goals from Spurs Whilst Vardy, Marvideade And are you seem to be the best bets from Leicester? Aston Villa take on West Ham Recent history favours Aston Villa with three wins and two draws Aston Villa have Onana, Kolose, McGinn, Torres And Barclay, Outingit West Ham have Marvropanos, Summerville, Bowen, Todibo And Tonya and Fulcrück are available for this fixture West Ham have lost four of their last five matches Whilst Aston Villa have won three, drawn one and lost one West Ham are not in great form And they have many people missing However, should you believe that They will win Kolose, Paqueta And Sucek are your best bets On the other end, Watkins, Rogers, Tillamans And maybe Marlon if you're a gambler Are your best bets for Villa The last game of the weekend will see Manchester United take on Fulham It must be said that Manchester United have a favourable record against Fulham Having won four out of their last five encounters Their recent form is warfull They seem to only raise their level when they're playing the top six Evans, Shaw, Mountain Lindelof are unavailable Tate and Nelson are unavailable for Fulham Should you believe that Fulham will win? Emmels-Methrow, he Wobi and Harry Wilson should be Well, of course, on him and us, should be your players If you believe in Manchester United, you know it's Ahmad And then it's Bruno And then after that, just choose whoever you think will be there If you believe in Fulham's defence, you know Robinson is there And Leno Manchester United haven't kept a clean sheet in 12 games So do not believe in the defence (explosion) When looking at captain choices Now, until the end of the season When talking about Bonmouth, Al will always say "clivat" You should choose "clivat" as your captain Should you be choosing a captain from Bonmouth Haim Osemanio From the forest and you have Hudson O'Doy Or listed wood Brighton vs Everton If you must, in D.I. or Mitoma Liverpool vs Ipswich Hoof Salah Nibi Nunez Gagpo Southampton Newcastle Isaac Gordon Wolves Trozad Martinally One City Holland Foden Doku On the Chelsea end, if you want to, Madwieke Palmer Brentford vs Crystal Palace Mateta Eze Visa Boomo Spurs Leicester Colossevsky Son Aston Villa West Ham Watkins Fulham Man United Ahmad Bruno Iwoby And Harry Wilson Those are many captain choices, but I'm just being generous because If anything, I've learned that anybody can score Looking at the FBLFDR When looking at Arsenal They play Wolves, Man City Leicester West Ham And Forest Two out of those five games are difficult Man City and Forest The rest are all winnable They are suspect at the bar currently, but going forward they should be fine Aston Villa have West Ham Wolves Ipswich Chelsea Crystal Palace This is a nice run of fixtures, honestly, apart from Chelsea All of the games are winnable Bonmouth have Nottingham Forest Liverpool Southampton Wolves Brighton Honestly, at this point Bonmouth can beat Absolutely anyone Brentford have Crystal Palace Spurs West Ham Leicester Everton After the Spurs game, the games are winnable They could win this next two games, but they're not easy as the ones coming after them Brighton have Everton, Forest, Chelsea, Southampton, Bonmouth Their next two three fixtures are tricky They could win all of them, but they could also lose all of them Chelsea have City, West Ham, Brighton, Villa, Southampton After the City game, the other games are all winnable But they could be given the run for their money by Brighton and Aston Villa Crystal Palace Face Brentford Mine United Everton Fulham and Aston Villa All winnable games All those games They could have 15 points at the end of this and they could have 0 or they could have 5 It could go either way Everton have Brighton, Leicester, Liverpool Crystal Palace Mine United And Brentford If the fixtures sound like the money, it's because they have a double game coming up Honestly, it wouldn't hard to just get into like Idris Or Die Fulham have Mine United, Newcastle, Forest, Crystal Palace and Wolves For the next three games, their fixtures are tricky I wouldn't advise you to get into Fulham Ipswich have Liverpool, Southampton, Villa, Spurs and Mine United Ipswich have no easy games, all of their games are difficult Leicester have Spurs, Everton, Arsenal, Brentford, West Ham Spurs and Arsenal would be the most difficult fixtures But they can be competitive in the rest Liverpool have Ipswich Bournemouth, Everton, Wolves, Man City, Newcastle Not necessarily easy games But they up until Man City The next four fixtures are kind to them Excluding Bournemouth Now, Man City have Chelsea, Arsenal, Newcastle, Liverpool, Tottenham Goodness, those are fixtures Wow Wow I honestly wouldn't advise you to get into them That is it Do it at your own risk Man United have Fulham, Crystal Palace, Spurs, Everton and Ipswich In theory, good fixtures On the ground, they are unpredictable Newcastle have Southampton, Fulham, City, Forest, Liverpool This would be the time to start easing yourself off of Newcastle assets Especially if you have two or more Forest have Bournemouth, Bumming Brighton, Fulham, Newcastle and Arsenal At this point, if you're already in Forest, just keep going Let's just see where this train takes us Southampton have Newcastle, Ipswich, Bournemouth, Brighton and Chelsea Tricky fixtures No easy fixtures for Southampton But these are kind Or at least kind of in Ipswich's Spurs have Leicester, Bournemouth, Man United, Ipswich and City All vulnerable, all thoseable games You decide Western have Villa, Chelsea, Bournemouth, Arsenal and Leicester Now, Potter has a tough run of games coming up Let's just see where it goes I am not encouraging anybody to enter their fixtures Especially with Bournemouth Yeah, just don't get into their fixtures Wolves have Arsenal, Villa, Liverpool, Bournemouth, Fulham Their tough stretch continues And like I said, these are relegation fixtures By the end of this, especially the next three Their fate may or may not have been sealed They'll have a lot of work to do after that And with that, remember that these Champions League and Europe Make your fixtures count We're getting towards the end Think about what you want to do, plan ahead And choose your players accordingly Apart from that, I hope the rest of your week goes well Bye-bye (beeping) (bell ringing)
Gameweek 22 is done and we have 16 weeks left to go!
How was gameweek 22 for you? Did you have Kluivert? did you captain him? Did you avoid captaining Salah/Isak/Palmer? I did not and i paid the price with 6 points! Isak/Palmer/Wood continue to deliver!

With an average gameweek average of 46 points it seems like an accurate reflection of a tricky gameweek! The highest tally was 128(A triple captain for a change!)

We look at the the gameweek....many disappointments..especially if you are a Joao Pedro/Isak/Palmer/Jackson/Iwobi/Salah holder..

We look at the gameweek, go over the stats and and stories surrounding our league table (We have a new league leader! but its controversial) before looking forward to gameweek 23 and hoping to do better!
The gameweek starts on a regular saturday! but be cognizant of the mid week european fixtures as you ponder on your team selection
