In the thirteenth episode of Banter League, hosts Rudra, Vineeth, and Ishaan discuss Game Week 12 results before the upcoming congested midweek fixture schedule. The episode opens with Liverpool’s shocking back-to-back losses including a 3-0 home defeat to Nottingham Forest, sparking serious questions about whether Slot is a “fraud” riding Klopp’s system, with the entire squad from Van Dijk to Salah looking disconnected while only Szoboszlai remains consistent. Manchester City’s surprising 2-1 loss to Newcastle reveals their dependency on Haaland as Bruno Guimarães and Harvey Barnes dominate their midfield, while Manchester United’s embarrassing failure to beat 10-man Everton at Old Trafford exposes their inability to break down defenses without counterattacking opportunities, with Amorim’s bizarre tactic of crossing into an empty box drawing criticism. Arsenal’s dominant 4-1 victory over Tottenham features Eze's emotional hat-trick achieving his childhood dream, solidifying their six-point lead as clear title favorites despite defensive injuries. League standings reveal the week’s biggest upset as Ishaan loses to Ashwin 52-50 after joking “unless Eze scores a hat-trick” before it actually happened, while Rudra posts the weeks highest points. Extended discussion examines Raman’s continued table-topping despite minimal top-four scores in individual weeks yet winning nine matches through matchup luck. Trade analysis covers whether Ashwin should accept Kudus and Calum Wilson for Eze with consensus it’s balanced but risky given Wilson’s injury history, while Rudra’s attempt to trade Evanilson for Raúl Jiménez gets rejected. The episode concludes with recommendations to buy-low on N’Diaye before his attacking returns catch up to his performances, sell-high on Trossard before Arsenal’s rotation, and prioritize defensive midfielders with high CBIT contributions, while announcing a bonus episode after midweek fixtures.
