The lack of BPS rewards for a goal-line clearance is something I've been complaining about for some years. Obviously not for GKs but any player who clears off the line is a game changing player and should be rewarded as such.
Regret that I don't follow Twitter closely enough to know that this stream was happening -- based on what I saw Sunday, I thought Baker couldn't make it, but as I assume it's probably good news that he could, cheers to him and his family. And I'm glad that I could watch this later on UA-cam. Your English English dictionaries say this about lob: Oxford: " to throw something so that it goes quite high through the air," and Cambridge: "to throw something so that it goes high in the air in a curve." From my end, fwiw, this agrees with Baker, but the likely problem is that the word is more often used for tennis or golf than football. As for fantasy, silly me. I put Grealish in and Isak first on the bench, so stand at 54, though I still have 9 doubles plus Haaland captain as the 10th remaining double player. I hope I improve as I've lucked into 33.4k at this point, though still 32 points from 10k. You boys are by far my favorite FPL stream -- please keep it up! -- Bill in cold, wet Chicago
I consume a disgusting amount of content now and The Above Average is easily my favourite FPL podcast and Adam and Baker always worth investing in for the ease with which they digest underlying stats and the 👁️ test.
Lol me too. And agreed. There’s a great amount of analysis they bring us I don’t get elsewhere. The pod they did on the Bonus Points System about a month ago was shamefully fascinating 🧐 😊
With Wilson too becoming an enticing play, there's just no room to get an Arsenal mid back for 36-38 is there! Do you think that could be the big differential for people chasing?
the second Undav goal was a lob. a a chip is just that a litle chip over a leg or a player/goalkeeper on the floor. with a lob, both the hip and the knee, needs to put som work in. the toe under the ball and lift it.
Yeah a dink is definitely one that doesn’t go over head height. A lob over head height. Watching the strike again from Undav it feels more chip in terms of his foot movement
Agghhh you’ve planted the Son seed now! Not even given him a second thought all season at 11.5m. But as a differential over Salah/KdB for remaining…. Seems to have his smile back under Mason. That usually means hauls.
Honestly, unlucky today with Liverpool lads. The spurs way shone through for a good 60 minutes the better team, if only you had a few decent well coached defenders you'd be comfortable in the top 4

Great pod lads - Adam spot on with the chip/lob definitions in my opinion!

Cheers Bill, always enjoy reading your comments. And you’re smashing it which is great. Cheers (Adam, from cold and wet Scotland 🤝😂)

Love you both! 🥰
Great pod guys, definietly want KDB to somehow start next game otherwise its -1 coufal off the bench for me. So far FH has worked.
Great pod as always, thanks lads.

I would call that a dink!

Adam is definitely correct with the lob/chip debate! Sorry Baker.
😢
Baker looks younger in this stream. Weird.
That is what a week off from FPL does for you 😂😂
Well aren’t you lovely! I’m still the old man of fpl mate, 44 years young!
@@BakerFPL343 44? wow, you don't look that old :)
