Back for 2013, fully refreshed, slightly rusty and balancing the same chips on our shoulders, Granville are I make a return to the podcast studio.

The New Year presents my beleaguered co-host with a 51-point gap to bridge as I spent Christmas “ho-ho-ing” about three midfield hat-tricks, leaving Granville to roll out one mighty miffed in this week’s episode.

Elsewhere, we pick at the double Gameweek buffet, eagerly scoffing on the Chelsea canapés whilst wondering if Rafa has hidden something nasty in the vol-a-vents. We rinse that down with the latest transfers in and out in “all aboard”, preview all the weekend fixtures and carry out the latest emergency surgery on the ailing ScoutCast team.

Normal service is resumed via this link or you can pour this straight into your ears via the player below…

      I’m going Mata. Although I don’t own Ba. But I’m not considering buying him either. His lack of guarenteed game time is stopping me.

    Foster – Bego

      My defence is shot to pieces, but I’m going to weather it and hold out for the wildcard gw24. Got other priorities and O’Brien and Cuellar both short term injuries.

      That said, I would be strongly tempted to do something about Enrique. Maybe downgrade him and upgrade Sterling to Fellaini.

      Just realised “Sterling Silva” would be a good team name…

            fuml – baines is a 4 week punt. lambert would only be suitable for one week then rot on my bench. also this week lambert would mean one of my big hitting mids would be benched.

            just makes more sense to me to improve my first 11 then bench.

                mata is the safe option. Ba is risky but could pay off. since your sitting pretty on top of your ML i would opt for mata. more likely to play most the dgwk.

                essentially captaining BA would be most likely 90mins vs a tight stoke defence and 20mins against soton

      Play Fellaini. Always speculation on transfers this time of year. Unless you hear he’s likely not to feature play him.

        Agree with this, I’d go Shaw since 180 minutes in a couple of days might be too much for Clyne. Or better yet, go with whoever is replacing Fonte at CB? Should be guaranteed 180. Shaw is still only 17.

    What’s your planned move for next week?
    Seems that very few are able/willing to double on walcott / santi + prob wise not to double on defence either.
    I think I’m going with only demel, gibbs and walcott. If Ba is dissapointment this week maybe him to podolski or tevez.

      It's The Kompany That Matas says:

      Was thinking about doing Hazard > Cazorla (already have Gibbs & Walcott) next week and then Cazorla > Fellaini after.

      But with Fellaini playing Southampton I may just go straight to him instead, still undecided but think saving a transfer and with Fellaini having a nice fixture that’s probably the best option.

        I’d like to have santi for 23, but only real way for that is go with power 5 now and next week bale => santi and then gw24 back to bale. Takes two transfers so bit pointless. Unless caz gets hat trick :-)

“I love to attack and I love to go up front...It is a little more difficult than when you are playing centre-back. If you play the way that I want to play, I think my influence is better as a left-back. For the team, it is best that I play as a centre-back. I like to bring the ball out. You need to move the game quickly, and that is one of my qualities as well.”

Jan Vertonghen outlines what he feels is his best position for Andre Villas-Boas
