Cunha straight red card and Mateta awful injury in a collision. #FPL inducing madness even without PL matches

It's Just Like Riding a Bike Podcast Episode ยท Talking Ship - A Clippers Podcast ยท 01/22/2025 ยท 33m

ICYMI last night- @mattmatawaran.bsky.social and I recorded a new Clips pod. We focused mostly on the big win over the Lakers and what that showed us, but also went into the Zu injury and why it's crystal clear that the Clips need to trade for a center. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...

Is that Rodrigo Muniz or Daniel Munoz at 31%. Seems very high for it to be Munoz, a defender.

Would highly suggest listening to @planetfplpod.bsky.social on the most recent recap show. He calls for Sonny to be dropped for Richarlison when Richy is back healthy. Very against Son being an asset, and he's obvi a massive Spurs fan

Assuming Cunha is banned this GW or next, who do you prefer going to out of Watkins, Jackson, Solanke, Mateta?

Amad or Sarr, I imagine. But donโ€™t think Iโ€™m deciding this gameweek. Start Rogers and Mykolenko (unless I take a -4 for TAA) and see how the landscape changes going into the weekend.

Is Kawhi Nearing a Return? Podcast Episode ยท Talking Ship - A Clippers Podcast ยท 12/23/2024 ยท 37m

Youโ€™ve got about 9 hours to listen to the latest Talking Ship podcast with me and @mattmatawaran.bsky.social. We talk about Kawhiโ€™s possible return in 4 days, who would move to the bench and what to expect tonight against Memphis. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

Weโ€™re back! And Kawhi might be too! Find out what my 100% lock is and hear our thoughts on the games that were and the games coming up

bsky.app/profile/bdma... I should have benched JP and gone with my gut. Painful stuff

21.12.2024 14:47 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Pains me to be benching Rogers tomorrow. Would be shocked if he doesn't return. But can't bench Isak, Cunha, JP, Gordon

20.12.2024 20:32 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 1

Arsenal, Newcastle, Southampton, Tottenham

Lions are such a blast to watch. Their fans must be loving this team

Rory suggested him over Eze and anyone else on @planetfplpod.bsky.social this week.

ISAKKKKKKK. Ward in goal means this could be 6-0 or 7-0

Based on Bruno playing deep so far against "tough" opponents, I would be surprised if he's in the front 3. Plus you want some speed there against the City high line, which makes Garnacho/Rashford more of a fit I think. Just an outsider's view!

13.12.2024 16:42 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 2    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Or 24 or a couple others- but GW25 seems to make the most sense. @planetfplpod.bsky.social went through all the possibilities on the gameweek review pod.

That is why he said "If EVE vs LIV is rescheduled before GW30"

They're going all out with 2 sets of studio crews, 2 play by play guys, 4 game analysts, 4 reporters and a partridge and a pear tree.

Certainly will take some getting used to, but experienced managers and ones that are very engaged should have a huge leg up. That being said, predicting wins across this league is a bit lucky too

11.12.2024 15:55 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I didn't even factor in that you can't play another chip during it either! Which means with 15 gameweeks left in the season, 20% (3 out of 15) of those weeks will have this chip being used. AND you need to have budget readily available for it, and make sure you aren't tripled up on that team.

11.12.2024 15:40 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 3    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2    ๐Ÿ“Œ 1

It's very complicated for the common fan, so I think it gives an edge to the much more engaged managers. Needing to free up budget is the hard part and that can be an advantage for experienced managers

Gotta assume we get some idea of his return on word of 3 vs 3 and then 5 vs 5, and then he returns. Spoke on the last Talking Ship pod that something like Dec 27 seems to make sense. Unless he's been doing a lot behind closed doors and he pops up for that game on the 16th.
