  1. This week’s episode of the FFS podcast features some classic match-ups – Nani vs Young, Narni vs Nanny, Tomayto vs Tomahto, Sessegnon v Row Z, Common Sense vs Mark. All battles are resolved, with the regular stalwarts of the ScoutCast thrown in, culminating with Mark’s desperate defence of his seemingly unshakable faith in Victor Moses. Also, look out for a mention of my Champions League placing – England’s number one for 24 hours no less.

  2. Juan Mata returns home to Valencia as his new side fall at the final furlong, Arsene Wenger pick up the three points at home to Greek visitors and Cypriot champions find themselves sitting pretty at the top of Group G. Those are just a few short snippets from last night’s action, so follow us as we further dissect the highs and lows of yesterday’s eight UEFA Fantasy Champions League fixtures…

  3. A lot of the attention from last night will undoubtedly be focused on every fine detail of what went down at the Allianz Arena. Off-pitch sulks, however, don’t earn UEFA Fantasy Champions League points, so we shall move swiftly along to matters on the pitch. Here’s our summary of the first eight fixtures from Matchday Two…

  4. Swansea made history last week, as Scott Sinclair blasted from the spot a goal that marked the first scored in the Premier League outside of England. It’s also befitting that his conversion brought our first win in the Fantasy Flutter.

  5. While the title alludes to a debate on the merits of Kevin Campbell and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, it is instead a new podcast spilling with words on the Fantasy Football craze that’s taken the nation by storm – buy cheap at the back, buy big up front. It’s working, in fact it’s working rather too well. Can it continue? Mark and I lay the subject down, cut it open and sift through the giblets to offer our post mortem. Messy stuff.

  6. On Tuesday we announced the UEFA Fantasy Champions League was live and kicking for the 2011/12 season and confirmed we would be tagging along for the ride, with full coverage throughout the tournament.

  7. Having been stalled by the international break and a glamorous trip back to Manchester, I take my seat alongside Mark in the studio once again, desperately wrestling for air time against the prolific gabber spewed from the ScoutCast host. Mark tries to be on his best behaviour in this episode, knuckles wrapped by a frustrated listener deprived of my pearls of wisdom by his constant interruptions, you can sense the intense effort as Mark holds his silence.

“Alex Chamberlain played three games for the first time in his career. He had a stiff neck at half-time, so I did not want to take a gamble with him. Then we had a problem with Koscielny, and I wanted to give some playing time to Benayoun.”

Arsene Wenger explains why Van Persie wasn't substituted in the 7-1 win over Blackburn following pre-game talk of the Dutch hitman needing rest
