The Club x Club series heads to Coventry City, a promoted side with Frankie Lampard back in the Premier League and a brutal opening run. Tim leads the deep dive, and the honest verdict up front sets the tone: there's no must-draft on this team. Everything here is a late-round flier or a waiver-wire watch, judged through one lens: Coventry will do a lot of defending this year.
The lads work the angles that a struggling promoted side actually offers. Which of their defenders is the best value once you accept they'll be camped in their own half, and the classic centre-back-who-ghosts-well versus flashy-attacking-full-back debate that follows. There's the annual "hot promoted goalkeeper" conversation and Tim's full philosophy on why you never predict clean sheets or draft a keeper at all. And a genuinely useful segment on set-piece merchants as trade bait: spotting the next surprise waiver breakout before your league mates, and flipping him at peak hype.
Plus the risky striker going higher than his record justifies, a couple of creative midfielders worth a watch-list slot, and the case for punting defenders late while everyone else spends big. As always, everything's timestamped to August 3rd.
