With cheque books fluttering on the eve of the transfer window slamming shut, our Fantasy seasons could be transformed by some notable new arrivals. In this week’s ScoutCast episode, Granville and I chew over the latest fresh faces to crash the player list – United’s “Angel” Di Maria and Liverpool’s “Devil” Balotelli.
With just a single point between us and the comfort of top 100k placings, my co-host and I are more than just a little content as we the rule over the current bandwagons and preview another weekend’s action. It won’t last.

which leaves around 29.5m for 4 positions. its safe to say, you'll choose one more budget option (5m) in one of the attacking slots (it would be madness to bench siggy every week), so that will leave approx 24.5m left for 3 players, of which 1 is a defender and 2 attacking players (which are either cheap5-6/midrange8-9/exp10.5-11.5)
The main choice comes down to:
1) Ivan/exp/cheap
2) Ivan/midrange/midrange
3) no-Ivan/exp/midrange
Literally 90% of RMTs and questions are variations of this problem. The answer is there are no rights or wrongs, and probably any combination of the above will work.
With option 1 there are 2 cheap attacking players in the front 8 in addition to Siggy, which is not ideal, note: JWP/Naismith actually rotate rather well.
With option 2, you take advantage of the abundance of mids around 9m and get one of the inform strikers in ade or jov. It seems the best move right now, but could lead to more hits as 2 transfers required to draft in an expensive player later on.
With option 3, its tempting to be honest, but no Ivan seems really unbalanced.
