jarrod_dyke
Hey everybody, welcome back. It is the Fantasy Europa Yanks. My name is Jared Dyke. Currently there is no Ben Glauser. We decided that FC needed to wait for multitude of reasons, most of which Ben and I both needed to sleep.
00:00:42
jarrod_dyke
So I do have Ben's notes. This is going to strictly just be start set, so Champion Yanks League will to wait for next week for us to recap it and when we're not.
Leicester vs Leinster Fantasy Advice
00:00:51
jarrod_dyke
Dog tired. Anyway, so let's jump right into it.
00:00:54
jarrod_dyke
So for this coming weekend, by the time some of you hear this, the lamps will already be released. So you need to feel free to ignore what I'm saying right now when that happens. To degree.
00:01:05
jarrod_dyke
But until then. ah Anyway. Lester and Leinster, Friday night. For the hosts, this is... that user's mine this is this game is mine so these are coming from these are my words coming from me There we go.
00:01:19
jarrod_dyke
So, four Tigers. Lab started be released as of this recording. So, I'm looking at Blumeyer, Morrow, Hassle Collins, and maybe Freddie Stewart.
Upcoming Matches: Stormers, La Rochelle, Sharks, Saracens
00:01:31
jarrod_dyke
I feel like Redland's a trap. So, think I'd rather go with him. And then Kata is a sit for me right now. Again, I know he has some good games, but also he is a card threat always.
00:01:45
jarrod_dyke
And that that you can find better better with that. uh, the travelers from Dublin, uh, Kelleher, Vanderfleer, Keelan Doris. I, I'm okay with Harry Byrne. He scored well and played well off the bench last week. Um, I think he'll be just fine. And then Tommy O'Brien looks like he's, or he's the real deal. So I'm going to give him a thumbs up over any other outside backs from Leinster.
00:02:11
jarrod_dyke
And then we, then we move into the weekend. Um,
00:02:16
jarrod_dyke
Stormers and La Rochelle this is coming from Ben so for the Stormers Reinach Feinberg and Ganozulu, Warwick Haaland and for Rochelle he's expecting a change team from them so you know keep your eyes peeled on that and you know pick cautiously to say the least.
00:02:35
jarrod_dyke
um Four and then we're going to go to um Durbin for Sharks and Saracens. So I expect a full noise Sharks teams. I don't know if Oxygen is healthy. If he is, then I'm um giving him a thumbs up.
00:02:50
jarrod_dyke
Sia, Grant Williams, Esther Hazen, Hooker, and there's other names that I did not mention there that will probably be valid to play for Saracens. It looks like they brought... They brought everyone, or at least to
Claremont vs Sale: Fantasy Picks
00:03:03
jarrod_dyke
a degree. So that means, yeah, your usual suspects are probably good to Earl Farrell, who's actually a center and needs to kick, so that's kind of a hairy spot. But if you're going to go with that route, then yep, it's fine. Sinti had a great game last game. Malin's, and then still sit. I haven't been saying, he's never been a good fantasy asset, so just scares me.
00:03:29
jarrod_dyke
Then we're going to Claremont and Sale. So Claremont are the host. Claremont will probably have a more diverse and robust team than they did last time. um So from Ben, Peter Goss, Kramer, Plummer, Delghi are his recommendations off the top of his head. Sale, the front row, as he always talks about, Ford, and some of the back three, everyone else you just really
Bordeaux vs Scarlets: Lineup Insights
00:03:53
jarrod_dyke
want to avoid. And then that moves us over into Bordeaux.
00:04:01
jarrod_dyke
Bordeaux-Scarlitz. So for me, it's for Bordeaux. i said I said last time, Lamal thought he was a little underrated. We might see a change team here because Scarlitz are probably sending maybe not their best team Comma slash Scarlitz aren't going to be the best team that Bordeaux play in this competition. So they may do some tweaking here. So i might you might see Pajrello over lucu Throwing that out there.
00:04:28
jarrod_dyke
Jelly Bear, Deporter. And then another one that might we might see appear in the lineup that's not normal, Rayasi.
Munster vs Gloucester: Player Recommendations
00:04:37
jarrod_dyke
Yeah, the old Hurricanes guy.
00:04:40
jarrod_dyke
For the Scarlets, Ellis Mee, and that's really it. like I don't have interest in a lot of others. I think this is going to be a tough day. i think though'll I think they'll find the try line once, maybe twice, if they're lucky.
00:04:53
jarrod_dyke
And LSU has shown good things. So I'm going to give him the thumbs up other than that, Beth. And then over to Munster and Gloucester. So for the hosts, from Ben, Ahern, Byrne, Coombs, Casey, Tom Farrell, Nankerville, and there's probably some others that we can go with as well.
00:05:15
jarrod_dyke
For Gloucester, he's saying the front row. Okay, I'm into this. um Freddie Thomas, Thomas Williams, that's it.
Glasgow vs Toulouse and Quinns vs Bam
00:05:23
jarrod_dyke
Interesting from now ah Then we're up very intriguing matchup this weekend Glasgow and Toulouse so Glasgow are Yeah, they're they're really looking to finally make a mark in this competition. So this is their chance to do it for for Glasgow Back row guys, Darge Dempsey, yes. Horn, probably.
00:05:48
jarrod_dyke
I like Stafford McDowell. And Stane played well last game, so I'm going to give him a thumbs up. I don't know why Makai got the player of the match. I like Stane a lot better. um For Toulouse, don't expect them to send the bi juice at fully expect them to rock up with mostly their their first choice guys and even their second choice guys are really good usually so.
00:06:08
jarrod_dyke
Marshawn, Maafu, Dupont is likely to start this game after coming off the bench last one. Blair Kinghorn and then I would just expect Ramos to shift back to fullback and then you can feel free to give him the K as well should that happen.
00:06:24
jarrod_dyke
Then we have Quinns and baome For Harlequins, the back row guys, I expect it to be ah return to the normal guys. I like Cunningham, Will Evans, CCS, Dom, Marcus Smith, Murley.
00:06:38
jarrod_dyke
um And then that's probably where you want to stop, but maybe... Maybe you you're in trouble, but hopefully you're not in that much trouble. Bam, I totally expect them to send the bin juice, and Ben does too.
00:06:51
jarrod_dyke
Has given me a big old thumbs down on everyone, so pass. but um Four. So then that moves us on to Kastra and Edinburgh.
00:07:03
jarrod_dyke
So I am personally looking at one of two players for Kastra, and then the rest just throw them away. Abram Popoli and Pierre Popolin. That's it.
00:07:14
jarrod_dyke
lot P's in there. That's it. Other than that, chuck them all away. No more. For Edinburgh, I expect them to give this competition a go, so I think we'll see mostly their first choice guys Ashman or Richardson.
00:07:32
jarrod_dyke
Richardson played on the flank last week, I believe. Didn't do too bad. Although I still think Ashman outscored him. But anyway, ah Bradbury, whoever's at 10, Cammie Scott was at 10 last week and did all right.
00:07:44
jarrod_dyke
Darcy Graham was the better of the back three guys. So I'm to give him the thumbs up only because only because they're because they're traveling. If they're home, I'd give them all the thumbs up.
Bristol vs Powell and Roethampton vs Bulls
00:07:56
jarrod_dyke
And then we have Bristol and Powell. This will be interesting. So Bristol, Augre, Fitz, Mata, Marmion, Rovalvo, and you can probably sprinkle in a few other guys in there as well. Maybe Tom Jordan.
00:08:10
jarrod_dyke
that's that That last part's from me, not from Ben. So just let me just put that there. um Again, thumbs down from Ben for Powell because he doesn't think they're sending anybody that's going to be worth it. So TBD, but yeah, big old big old pass from Ben on that one.
00:08:25
jarrod_dyke
And then we have Roethampton and Bulls. So for the hosts, yeah, they're again, I think they're going give this competition another real go. So Pearson, Pollock, Alex Mitchell, Finn Smith, George Hendy, but, you know, whatever back three guy might be, particularly your fancy, maybe George Furbank.
00:08:42
jarrod_dyke
He seems to be getting healthier and healthier by the day. so that's good. For the Bulls, Again, where we'll see what they send. We may still see Seb DeClerc, who's been one of the better fantasy scorers. He scored well last week, and he scored he has scored well in USC fantasy. So that would be one guy maybe to keep an eye on because, yeah, they may still play him. So TBD. But other than that, like let's see what they have otherwise.
Players of the Week and Sit Recommendations
00:09:10
jarrod_dyke
And that brings us to our of the weeks. So for me, actually, no, we'll go with Ben first. so um So for Ben, he has gone with oh luiaia Louis Bielbiere from Bordeaux against Scarlet.
00:09:27
jarrod_dyke
Yeah, I mean, shocker. because there's the same There's a theme to it because I've gone with Penel. So we'll see you which how that how that turns out for both. But it should be...
00:09:39
jarrod_dyke
Should be a good day for whoever ends up in the back three of that team, I would i would have gather. um For the state the week, ah oddly enough, I thought Kyle Stain played well enough to give a thumbs up for me. And Ben has just gone the complete opposite direction and said, sit him this week. And considering the opposition, I totally get it.
00:09:59
jarrod_dyke
I think I'd be more inclined to agree if they were in France and not up at Up in Glasgow, so that's just my shot my thought Otherwise, so for me I'm look as we mentioned lower shell are on the road this this week and May send a change team they it didn't a couple think was last season season before and they're really ah really wore on them so if they do send in a full noise team and
00:10:31
jarrod_dyke
David Nineshvili is still in the team. i would probably sit him. I know that's hard to do because of who he is and how good he is. But, yeah, that's ah it's a tough travel ask, honestly.
