00:00What is going on everyone, my name is Andy, welcome back to another FPL video and this

00:07one is some of my early thoughts ahead of the GW29 deadline.

00:10This video is going to be a little bit longer than recent ones because there's lots of important

00:13stuff to discuss.

00:14I'm going to talk about whether or not to sell Mo Salah, what to do with Marmusha Nutara,

00:19then look at my own team and early thoughts on that, plus a GW29 wildcard draft as well.

00:24So let's get into it.

00:25So I think we've got to start this video by talking about Mo Salah.

00:28There's going to be a lot of conversation this week about potentially selling him, and

00:31when you talk about potentially selling a player that has broken an FPL record after

00:3528 weeks, naturally a lot of discourse and a lot of negativity comes with that.

00:39But I think it's worth talking about why you might, and it's only a might, want to consider

00:44taking him out of your squad.

00:46But before we get into that, let me state the obvious.

00:49You don't have to sell him.

00:50Nobody is forcing you to make decisions for your FPL team, you can just keep him.

00:54If you want a free hit in 29, great.

00:56If you want a wildcard and keep Salah in the team, great.

00:59If you don't want to go for Harlan, that's fine.

01:02If you want to buy Harlan but you've got a route to do it that doesn't involve selling

01:05Salah, that is also great.

01:07If you want to sell Palmer, brilliant.

01:08You can do all of these things, you don't have to sell Salah.

01:12Nobody is forcing you to do it, but it's still worth talking about because not everybody's

01:16team is the same.

01:17There's going to be people watching this whose GW29 team looks brilliant, they've got 3-4-5

01:22transfers, they can make luxury moves, whereas I'm sat there with 2 free transfers, I've

01:27got 9 playing players, and 4 of them are Joachim Andersen, Greaves from Ipswich, Utara who

01:32probably won't start, and Wanyeri who's also a worry.

01:35So for me it might make more sense to sell Salah.

01:37So that's the obvious, you don't have to do it.

01:40Let's talk about the reasons why you might want to consider it.

01:43It's an easy way to fund Erling Harlan.

01:46Salah, selling him, could absolutely punish you.

01:49He won't punish you in GW29, he doesn't have a fixture, and you could argue that Harlan

01:54is the best captain on paper.

01:56Again, if you don't think that and you're happy to captain Bruno Fernandes, Clivert

02:00from Bournemouth, Chris Wood or someone like that, that's fine, that's exactly what you

02:04should do, but for a lot of people they want Harlan for captaincy, Salah is an easy way

02:09to fund that.

02:10And also, Harlan has Leicester at home in GW31, when Salah has Everton at home.

02:15Clearly right now I'd rather captain Salah, but I think Harlan is a viable alternative

02:19given how bad Leicester can be from a defensive point of view.

02:23With Cole Palmer, again, if you can sell him instead of Salah and you've got that luxury

02:27because of the amount of chances you've got, brilliant, but if you don't, Palmer at least

02:31has a fixture, even if it's a bad one against Arsenal away, he's going to get you something

02:35from that game, even if it's just two points, and also he's cheaper.

02:39So if you're trying to put together a bench boost team later on for example, you'll need

02:43to take a little bit of money out of your XI to put on the bench, it's probably easier

02:46to accommodate Palmer than it is Salah, and I get it, Palmer has been awful recently,

02:51he's not worth £11 million, but that can quickly change and they've still got pretty

02:55good fixtures, even though he's blanked against Southampton and Leicester, so that's one reason

02:59why you might want to keep Palmer over Salah, mostly because he's just got a fixture this

03:04week and it doesn't feel right to sell players if you're already struggling to put out XI

03:08if they've got a fixture.

03:11He's not necessarily needed for captaincy between game weeks 29 and 30, obviously you

03:17could captain him every week where he's got a fixture if you wanted to, but game week

03:2029 he's not playing, I've just mentioned you could captain Harden in 30 against Leicester

03:25at home, in 31 it's a little bit more tricky because Salah's got Fulham away, which is

03:31not that bad, Palmer's got Brentford away, you could argue that Brentford away is an

03:36easier fixture than Fulham for sure, or if Isak is fit he's got Leicester away, so there

03:40are alternatives, but game week 31 would worry me a little bit.

03:45With game week 32 that's a double for Palace and Newcastle, so if Isak is fit and available

03:49most people will captain him, and then game week 33 will be a double as well, very likely

03:55that Harlan will double, so again you could captain him or one of the other many players

03:59that will have two fixtures that week, Salah does have in game week 33 Leicester away.

04:05You could argue that he's better than all double game week players, but I would suggest

04:09that most people if Harlan has a double that week would rather captain him than Salah against

04:14Leicester away.

04:15Now obviously even without captaincy Salah can still get plenty of points and hurt you

04:21if you don't own him, but the damage he can do is slightly lessened by the fact that a

04:26lot of other people won't captain him even if they own him because of the doubles and

04:30stuff like that.

04:31There's also rotation potential, there's lots of ifs in this, if Liverpool beat PSG and

04:38the rotation will be after game week 34, so you don't have to make any decisions with

04:42Salah early this week, wait until the Champions League matches happen.

04:46If Liverpool get knocked out, totally different conversation, I would probably lean way more

04:50towards keeping Salah, but if they go through, in the next round it's Bruges or Aston Villa,

04:55so Liverpool will be heavy favourites to get to the Champions League semi-finals.

05:00They're also massively ahead in the Premier League, it won't be that long at this rate

05:05until they've got the Premier League wrapped up, and the Champions League semi-finals are

05:10around the end of April and then the first week of May, so it's around game week 35 and

05:16then going into game week 36, so if they've got the league wrapped up, we could see Mo

05:21Salah rested for the Champions League, and some people will argue that he's going for

05:26records he'll want to play, I won't dispute that, but Arnaz Slot makes the decisions and

05:31ultimately, as good as individual records are, and you want to keep Salah happy, you

05:35want him to re-sign for next season, I get all that, a league and Champions League double

05:41in your first season as Liverpool manager is huge.

05:44So I think if Liverpool beat PSG, they're odds-on favourites to get to the semi-finals,

05:49and if that's against, say, Real Madrid, and the Premier League is won, what's more important,

05:54Salah's individual records, or playing that Real Madrid match?

05:57So I think there's possible rotation, but a lot will depend on the PSG game, easier

06:01to fund the bench boost I already mentioned, and it is a differential.

06:05If you feel like you've got nothing left to lose this season, and you're not having to

06:09create content every week, where you get kind of shamed when it goes bad, it's not that

06:14bad to be honest, but it is a differential to sell him and just go elsewhere and just

06:18hope that the captaincies all the way from 29 to 33 onwards work out.

06:22If you've got a free hit left, by the way, if you're not using it in 29, you're probably

06:27using it in 33 or 34, so you can get him in for one of those weeks anyway, even if

06:31you don't own him, but it would be a differential.

06:34I would suggest that is probably the worst reason to do it, because he is just amazing.

06:38I think all the other stuff adds up.

06:40So that is the potential reasons to sell him.

06:43Again, you do not have to do it.

06:44I think sometimes people get very, it's almost like they get offended with FPL when anyone

06:50even considers selling Salah.

06:51I know how good he is.

06:52You honestly do not need to tell me he's brilliant, but for my team in particular, I'm going to

06:57talk about it later.

06:58I feel like I'm almost forced to go without him at this stage because my team is such

07:01a mess.

07:02For those of you that don't need to sell him and that you can still get Harland, you're

07:05in such a good position.

07:07Enjoy it, because some of us are not in that same place.

07:10So if you want to sell him, go ahead, but I would absolutely not make this transfer

07:14early.

07:15Wait and see what happens midweek.

07:16Make your decisions much closer to the deadline.

07:18So lots of frustration in game week 28 for Mahmood shown as he was heavily transferred

07:22in just to be benched against Nottingham Forest and came on for a one point cameo.

07:26What do you do with him ahead of game week 29 where most people won't have a bench if

07:30they're not free hitting?

07:31I think you keep him because with Mahmood, you haven't got a guarantee that he's permanently

07:37lost his place.

07:38There's some players that you can be pretty sure are not going to start in game week 29.

07:42I don't know if Mahmood is one of them.

07:44So obviously if you keep him, you risk another one point cameo, but he also might just start

07:49and Brian at home is not an amazing fixture, but it's certainly not terrible either.

07:53And if he did get a start in that game, he's absolutely capable of coming away with points.

07:57So I think for most people, even if you're sat there with nine or 10 players and Mahmood

08:02is one of them, I think I'd lean more towards keeping him rather than taking a hit.

08:07If you can transfer him out for free to someone that's definitely going to play like Chris

08:11Wood, for example, maybe I would do that.

08:13But if it's going to take a hit, I would take the risk that he's going to start.

08:16The other thing to point out is that we knew on the deadline stream that Mahmood wasn't

08:21going to start against Forrest.

08:22That leak came out.

08:23Now we haven't had a huge amount of leaks for teams recently, but in game week 29, Man

08:29City are playing at three o'clock and the deadline for game week 29 is later.

08:33It's half one UK time.

08:35So there is a chance that you will get information about that Man City team and it might be that

08:39Mahmood starts.

08:40It also might be that he's benched, but at least with that information, you can decide

08:43what to do.

08:45So I think for a lot of players that are potential minutes risks or not necessarily

08:49going to start, I would be tempted to take them out for a hit.

08:52But with Mahmood, because it's a Man City attacker that's not Haaland, you can't guarantee

08:58that he's not going to start.

08:59He may well be in that 11.

09:00So I think I'd lean towards keeping him.

09:02The one thing to say, I definitely would not transfer him in.

09:05Even if you get a leak that he's starting, unless you're absolutely sure you're going

09:09to wildcard in game week 30, I think you've got to ignore him because otherwise you've

09:12got the same headache against Leicester at home in 30 about whether or not he'll start.

09:16So don't buy him.

09:17But if you've already got him, I would lean probably towards keeping him.

09:20So like Mahmood, Soutara was also benched for game week 28.

09:23It was Evan Nielsen that started as the number nine for Bournemouth with Semenyaw and Tavernier

09:27as the wider players.

09:29You could make the same case here not to sell him for a hit because even if he doesn't start,

09:33he's almost certain to come off the bench.

09:36So that's your one point.

09:37The four point hit would mean whoever comes in would need to get at least five to match

09:40him, obviously preferably outscore him.

09:43The difference for me is if I'm doing a predicted lineup for Bournemouth for game week 29 against

09:48Brentford, Soutara is definitely not in that.

09:51Not based on what we've seen in the FA Cup and now this last game, Evan Nielsen number

09:55nine, Semenyaw would definitely play in one of the wider positions, Kluivert is 10 and

09:59Tavernier has played a lot of minutes this season.

10:01Given he's just started the last game, you have to probably conclude from that that Soutara

10:07is going to be on the bench.

10:08With Man City, I couldn't guarantee that as much.

10:11That's the difference between Marmouche and Soutara.

10:13So for Marmouche, I would probably lean more towards keeping him.

10:17With Soutara, I'd be very tempted to take a hit.

10:20I think whichever midfielder you can bring in like a Kluivert, a Semenyaw, a Bruno Fernandes,

10:25someone like that, even a Nottingham Forest punt against Ipswich, for me it's worth that

10:30four point risk to try and get at least five points plus.

10:33I think there's plenty of midfielders that are capable of doing that week.

10:36It's not a guarantee.

10:37You might spend that hit and come out worse off, but I think with Soutara, it's so unlikely

10:42he's going to start.

10:43He could do, I just don't see it without injury.

10:46So I think I would lean more towards selling him.

10:48So early thoughts on my own team for game week 29.

10:51Basically it's an absolute mess.

10:53I'm currently in a 4-5-1 formation.

10:56I've only got nine playing players, but four of them are Joachim Andersen against Spurs

11:00at home.

11:01That doesn't scream clean sheet.

11:02I don't think it's absolutely terrible if I have to play him.

11:05I don't know if I would take a hit to avoid having to put him in the 11, but it's not

11:09a great option.

11:10Greaves against Forrest at home, not expecting a clean sheet for Ipswich, I'd have to be

11:14relying on him getting me a goal.

11:16Wanyeri, who was just subbed off before the 60th minute against Man Utd, far from ideal

11:21that when Martinelli came on, Mourinho stayed on the pitch.

11:24So even though right now, if I had to guess, Wanyeri will probably start against Chelsea.

11:29He's another headache and a minutes risk.

11:31And then Utara, who I've just mentioned, I don't think will start in game week 29.

11:35So actually, in terms of playing players who are good in my team, I've got five, I reckon.

11:41Pickford to Mikulenko against West Ham at home, Gabriel against Chelsea at home, Palmer

11:45against Arsenal away, although some people would argue he's bad as well.

11:49And then N'Burma against Bournemouth away.

11:50So five good players and four dodgy ones, right?

11:54And I've only got two free transfers to fix it.

11:57Some people would say this screams free hit.

12:00I'm almost certainly not going to free hit.

12:02Obviously, by doing that, I would get salaries at Trent and Watkins back for game week 30,

12:07which would massively help.

12:08But I've still got to play one of Grieves and a Mikulenko.

12:12They've all got bad fixtures in game week 30.

12:15Wanyeri would still be a risk and so would Utara and Kunye would still be suspended.

12:19So free hit is just out of the question for me.

12:22I might wildcard and I'll talk about what that draft might look like in a minute, or

12:26I'm going to take hits.

12:27I reckon I'm taking at least a minus eight this week.

12:31And as it stands, I'm kind of 70, 75% sure that I'm going to sell Salah.

12:35I think I'm just going to go for it and get Haaland, captain him this week, captain him

12:40against Leicester, and then figure out what to do with Salah later on.

12:43The worst case scenario, which I didn't talk about earlier, is I just wildcard Salah back

12:48in.

12:49The biggest issue is the team value.

12:50I would lose 0.6 million by selling him and having to buy him back.

12:54But obviously the hope would be that I wouldn't need to buy him back.

12:57But that's not a guarantee.

12:58So no decisions being made early.

13:01If I take a minus eight and it involves selling Salah, it'll probably look something like

13:04Salah, Kunye, Watkins, Utara, to Clive at Semenyo, Haaland, and Evan Ilson.

13:09So a triple up on Bournemouth for Brentford at home for getting their nailed on attackers.

13:15And then also having that triple up in game week 30 for Ipswich at home.

13:18Because remember, if I don't wildcard this week, it's not a guarantee I'll wildcard in

13:2230 because I'll want to wait for the double game week information.

13:26The only good thing about wildcard 30 over 29 is you've got the FA Cup quarterfinal results.

13:31So even if the Premier League haven't confirmed the double game weeks, the fixture gurus like

13:35James, Planet FPL, Taal, Nadeem, Ben Crelin, etc. on Twitter, they will probably have a

13:41good idea of what it's going to look like.

13:43So at least in game week 30 you've got that info.

13:45But if I do want to wait until 31, having that triple up on Brentford for Ipswich at

13:49home in game week 30 will look pretty good.

13:52So I think as it stands, free hit is out of the question.

13:56Also, I think people are underestimating how useful free hit will be later on to manage

14:01game week 33 and 34.

14:03Either you're free hitting the double for 33 and then your team will just look good

14:08in 34 for the blank, or you'll be well set for the double and you'll just free hit in

14:13the blank instead.

14:14It's very useful to manage that situation.

14:17In some ways even more than a wildcard.

14:19So I really don't want to use it this week.

14:21So it's either a minus 8.

14:23By the way, I could just not get Harlan, but even in that situation I still think I'm

14:27taking the minus 8.

14:28Watkins to Wood, Cunha to Evan Nielsen, then I'm still left with playing Utahra and Wanieri.

14:35So I guess at a minimum I could sell just Utahra to Cliver and just play Wanieri and

14:41maybe take a minus 4.

14:43But then I've got a captain like Chris Wood, which is fine I guess, but I just want a captain

14:47Harlan.

14:48So I think I'm either wildcarding or selling Salah.

14:51My team is just a mess.

14:52I'm really looking forward to just getting through this week and hopefully it's damage

14:55limitation.

14:56Let's talk about what a wildcard draft could look like.

14:58So this is the first draft I came up with for wildcard 29.

15:01Just a quick point that up until yesterday I hadn't even considered wildcarding in 29

15:06at all.

15:07So this draft will definitely need some work.

15:08The most difficult thing is trying to work out how the team will be affected based on

15:13different FA Cup results, because the FA Cup quarterfinals being played after 29 and before

15:19GW30 will dictate what GW33 and GW34 look like.

15:24If you're wildcarding this week, you're going in blind basically and hoping that you can

15:29deal with whatever eventuality ends up happening.

15:33From what I've looked at so far, I definitely think this is a viable strategy, but only

15:38if you've got your free hit left.

15:40If you're wildcarding in 29 and you've got no free hit to manage GW33 and GW34, that

15:46probably gets quite difficult.

15:47It's already hard enough knowing that I've got a free hit to bail me out.

15:51So in that situation I'd probably play through 29 and wildcard later.

15:55In terms of what could happen in the FA Cup, I think the worst result for this draft and

16:01this strategy would be a Crystal Palace win, sorry Crystal Palace fans, but I'm just talking

16:06about FPL only, a Palace win against Fulham and Bournemouth not to win.

16:11Because in that scenario, you would have obviously bought three Crystal Palace players for the

16:16double in 32, then they'll also double in 33, so that's a good thing, and I've also

16:20got a couple of Arsenal players in this draft.

16:23If Palace win in the FA Cup, Arsenal will also double.

16:25The problem is, without the Bournemouth win, you're in a position where you've probably

16:30got six or seven doublers for 33, so you're not quite at 11, but also you've got three

16:35Crystal Palace and two Arsenal players and probably a couple of Man City that are all

16:40going to blank in 34.

16:42So you've got kind of six, seven, eight doublers, and then six, seven, eight blankers, so you're

16:46not quite prepared for 34.

16:48You probably need to free hit, but you're also off getting 11 doublers in 33, so you've

16:53got to hope you've got enough transfers.

16:55If Crystal Palace don't win, I think this strategy works really nicely, but that's the

17:01problem.

17:02You're reliant on one result, which is pretty much a coin flip between Fulham and Palace.

17:06Both of those teams could win.

17:08I will say this, if you wildcard 29 and all the favourites win in the FA Cup, so let's

17:14say Fulham because they're at home, Aston Villa, Man City and Brighton because they're

17:20at home as well, then this strategy works really decently because you'll be fine for

17:24game week 34 in the blank.

17:26You can just make a couple of transfers to deal with it, and free hit 33 will be really

17:30nice.

17:31You can't really get too screwed over, but there's just so many ifs and buts based on

17:34the FA Cup results, and I think a Crystal Palace win and a Bournemouth loss to Man City

17:40is probably worst case scenario, but still potentially manageable because if you're wildcarding

17:44this week, you're going to get to save transfers over the next few weeks.

17:48So there's lots of reasons to consider it, right?

17:52Some people will look at this team and think, well, my team can almost be as good with a

17:55couple of transfers.

17:56Great.

17:57You're in a much better position than other people.

17:59My team is not like that.

18:00So this is what...

18:01Anyway, let's get into the draft.

18:02I've talked three minutes about what could potentially happen.

18:06Kepa in goal as one of my Bournemouth players, Gabriel, Vardial, and Nico Williams back three.

18:15Midfield five is Palmer.

18:17I'd love to have Salah, but he doesn't have a fixture this week.

18:19He's also more expensive.

18:20Bruno Fernandes, Trossard, Semenyo, and Elanga from Nottingham Forest, and up front it's

18:26Harlan and Evan Nielsen.

18:27So it's a 3-5-2 for game week 29.

18:30You've got to stack your bench with non-playing players.

18:33You have to prepare for the double in 32.

18:36So that's Crystal Palace and Newcastle players.

18:38I've gone for Henderson from Palace and then three Newcastle, Isak, Liveramento, Dan Byrne.

18:43Now, one thing people are going to point out, I don't have Munoz.

18:47You're absolutely right.

18:48You should probably have him on your wildcard draft.

18:50I would like to have him instead of Dan Byrne, for example.

18:53The only reason I don't is when I go through transfers over game weeks 30, 31, 32, preparing

19:00for that double for Palace and Newcastle in particular, it's much easier to manage

19:05buying Eze and Saar than it is having Munoz in the team.

19:09Because basically, if you put in Munoz instead of one of the Newcastle defenders, if you

19:15want to go for six doublers in 32, you've then got to buy like Eze or Saar plus Anthony

19:21Gordon.

19:22Unless you want to buy like a Jacob Murphy potentially, but I would want to go for Anthony

19:26Gordon over Murphy.

19:29And in that scenario, it's just more expensive.

19:31Munoz is more expensive than Byrne and Gordon is more expensive than Eze and Saar.

19:34So the budget for my team gets tight.

19:38But honestly, I probably, if I end up wildcard in 29, I'll probably figure out a way to just

19:43get Munoz because I think it just makes more sense.

19:45He's such a good pick, like playing as a wingback, genuine goal threat.

19:49You probably should have him in your team.

19:50But I just wanted to explain why currently don't.

19:53Another way I like setting this up is instead of Kepa having Rea and instead of Fernandes

19:58having Kluivert, so triple Bournemouth attack, and then basically Semenya, Kluivert, Trossard

20:05and Lange all have potential to double in 33.

20:09So once you've got that information from the FA Cup quarterfinals, you can then choose

20:14which of those players to sell to Crystal Palace midfielders.

20:18So the idea would be wildcard this week, don't use my transfers, game week 30 roll, go into

20:23game week 31 with three free transfers, probably roll again.

20:27It would mean not having Eze or Saar for, sorry, it would involve having no Crystal

20:33Palace attackers with this draft in game week 30.

20:36But honestly, Palmer's got Brentford, Trossard's got Fulham, I think it is.

20:40Triple Bournemouth would have Ipswich and Haaland's good and you have Isak off the bench

20:45as well.

20:46So it all looks fine, right?

20:47Palmer's not got Brentford, he's got, I'm getting confused now, Palmer has got, who

20:52is it?

20:53Spurs at home in game week 30, which is absolutely fine, right?

20:55So no transfers in 30, no transfers in 31, I personally for my team would get to 32 if

21:01all things go well with four transfers and I've got to get two Palace players in.

21:06So I'd likely get Eze and Saar and I would choose which midfielders to sell based on

21:11what's happened in the FA Cup and then I've got a couple more transfers later on and I

21:15can either free hit 33 or I can free hit 34.

21:18It ain't perfect, it can absolutely go wrong, the FA Cup could screw you over, you get injury

21:23suspensions, people wildcarding in 30 or 31 will have all that information, they'll be

21:27able to set up much better.

21:29You might go with that Mateta, everyone goes Mateta, he absolutely smashes it, I might

21:33go with that Munoz, he might continue smashing it, it can go wrong.

21:37If your team does not need a wildcard, don't do it.

21:40I would much rather save it for 30 or 31 but some people are in a dire position where they've

21:45got to consider it.

21:46The other slight problems with this draft, Nico Williams, even though he has started

21:50many, many games in a row, I always worry that Moreno might start the odd one.

21:55So I think right now Forrest are playing really well, why would Nuno change it, but he could

21:58change it at some point.

21:59So if you can afford like Milenkovic or Morello, someone like that, I would get them instead.

22:05And also if I go for the Semenyo, Kluivert, Evan Nielsen route, their game week 30 against

22:11Ipswich is not that long after their FA Cup match against Man City, there might be rotation

22:15and Kluivert got rotated in the last FA Cup match so maybe he plays against City and then

22:20is benched against Ipswich.

22:22So there are slight concerns, but generally, and the same with Trossard right, Guarnieri

22:26just got subbed before 60 and Moreno stayed on.

22:29I think Trossard's minutes are pretty good, even when Martinelli and Saka come back you

22:33would imagine that Trossard will play as a 9, but maybe he won't.

22:36Maybe Moreno will play with Saka and Martinelli either side.

22:39So Trossard is also a concern, but some of these players need to be sold and you can

22:44make that decision later.

22:46What else is there to say?

22:49Gun to my head right, if I had to use a chip this week and it was free hit this week or

22:52wildcard later or wildcard this week, free hit later, I'd wildcard this week.

22:56I honestly think the free hit to manage 33 and 34 is probably better than a wildcard.

23:02And also you can set your team up nicely for 29 and it looks really good for game week

23:0630 as well, whereas free hit for my team, my team would still look pretty terrible in

23:10game week 30.

23:11Anyway, I've rambled on, I'm not sure how much more I can go into it right now, I need

23:14to give it some more thought.

23:15Basically, short thing, I think it's viable, it could absolutely go wrong, you've got to

23:20be prepared for that.

23:21And also I've got no Salah, so I'm still selling Salah even on wildcard.

23:25To put him in here is really difficult, it'd have to be instead of Parma, I've got to find

23:29another 2 million from somewhere, and I've got to have a different player on the bench

23:33or I can't stack for Newcastle and Palace, so I think you've got to go without Salah.

23:37Anyway, that's a longer video than normal, but there's a lot of key things to discuss
