Back for a new season, with “sailing fan” Granville now woken from his Olympic dream, we return for another podcast after a three-month hiatus.

While some of the regulars are shelved this week, we talk over the Sky Sports Game, welcome new Fantasy Football double act “Fenners & Merse” and start the clear up after Robin Van Persie kicked over the applecart.

The episode is underpinned by a new concept – the idea that Granville and I can join forces and actually be effective. The premise is we pick a ScoutCast XI and cross our beams to co-manage it over the season, arguing the toss in every ScoutCast episode on transfers and substitutions. The aim is harmony and a united success. It seems unlikely to end that way.

Oh, and there are actually two of my “jokes” that Granville misses in this episode – see if you can make out the second. I swear he was dreaming of gold medals in the sailing.

Listen in on the squad selection via this link.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    HELP!

    Kacaniklic and Pienaar or Ireland and Allen or another 11.0m combination

    (I already have Noble and Michu) ??

    I don’t want to get stuck with a 4.5m and I’m not crazy about Everton’s early fixtures 

      A gamble. You could have said that seasons ago when VDV came to the PL, never having played there, and exploded. Then you would be left behind by all those who gambled and profited.
      Nothing wrong with a few punts in your team.

          QPR close in on signing former Chelsea defender José Bosingwa http://gu.com/p/39z74/tw via @guardian also... if Bosingwa starts, which surely he will do by gameweek 3 if the deal is definitely struck (price tag 5.5?)
