These are hazardous times. Shopping in midfield is a thankless task, with little value and consistency on offer, aside from a pair of dominant forces who threaten to break the season, along with the hearts and minds of those too stubborn to jump on board their seemingly relentless bandwagons.

In this latest episode of the podcast, I lay the blame for my inept season squarely at the feet of my failing midfield and my reluctance to give Aaron Ramsey the time of day. Oh, how I crave those predictable days of the ever-reliable “Power Five”.

Granville does his best to ensure that my moans fall on sympathetic ears, although his sniggering gives him away on more than one occasion. In between giggles, my co-host joins me to dissect the week’s transfer activity, preview the weekend’s fixtures and mastermind another mediocre Gameweek for the ScoutCast lineup.

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

    With Isco seemingly out of favor at Madrid, I wouldn't be surprised if City put in a cheeky bid for him

      would you play him over Bale or Ronaldo??

      dont think so

      even Di Maria is better than him

      he davrse to sit at bench

        *deserve. Agreed. But the word coming out from Madrid was that Isco + Bale meant no place for Ozil.

        I'm surprised the goals and playing mins have just dried up for him.
        And you can't compare Isco to Di Maria imo. Play different positions

          Exactly, it's the same when people compare Ronaldo to Messi, you just can't, they play in different positions. The only thing you can compare by is stats and that's it.

        "even Di Maria" makes it sound like di Maria is not a top class attacking midfielder. Isco was just bought, he's young, for the future. Makes sense he doesn't play too much from the get-go.

    Has a die hard FPL player every not used a free transfer, on purpose?

    I dont mean to allow it to accumulate for 2 FT's, I mean, just decided that you on't need to use it.
