In the twelfth episode of Banter League, hosts Vineeth and Ishaan welcome back Vijay after the international break to discuss Game Week 11 results and the looming AFCON crisis. The episode covers Manchester City’s dominant 3-0 dismantling of Liverpool featuring Doku’s breakout performance and debate about whether Pep has abandoned possession football for counterattacking, Manchester United’s character-building draw against Spurs highlighting Dalot and Casemiro’s resurgence, and Arsenal’s shocking 2-2 result against Sunderland that exposes defensive vulnerabilities with Gabriel out for a month during their annual Christmas injury crisis. Extended analysis focuses on AFCON departures starting December 13th, particularly Liverpool’s plans to replace Salah with Gakpo potentially shifting to right wing, and Raman’s fantasy nightmare with multiple players leaving including Ismail Sarr while still holding injured Isak. Additional coverage includes Newcastle’s defensive collapse raising questions about Eddie Howe, Aston Villa’s four-goal demolition of Bournemouth, and Chelsea’s dominance led by Garnacho breaking United fans’ hearts. Fixture analysis reveals West Ham’s vulnerability to center-backs making Bournemouth’s Senesi a target, while Liverpool’s leaky left side suggests Nottingham Forest’s Elanga as a pickup. League standings show Raman leading with 24 points and Ishaan close behind at 22 in a crucial upcoming matchup. The episode devolves into trade chaos as Ishaan defends his trading record before Vijay exposes his historically terrible offers including Spence for Saliba and Brennan Johnson for Bruno Fernandes, while multiple questionable proposals from various managers get immediately rejected amid accusations of brain-dead decision making. Eventually Rudra joins in and there is a live trade on the pod. Finally, the hosts wrap up with their waiver pickups for the week and some key predictions. Enjoy.
