From MI6 to the CIA, never has there been such rigid protection of confidential information than that surrounding Mark’s initial Fantasy squad. So, when super-secret agent himself joined me in the studio for our first podcast of the season, I was resigned to getting thrown the odd teasing titbit but little else.

However, it was to my very great surprise that he’d gone and left the proverbial back door open, there, “live” on air, he handed me a laptop giving me open access to his team on screen right in front of me. Since I was already in the house, he reluctantly decided to show me around.

An unexpected twist to our first podcast of the season and, dare I say it, a rare privilege for the listener.

        it doesnt take away from the fact he'll be on free kicks, most corners and maybe pens! Lucas will be playing deep?

          He'll be alongside Lucas in a 4-2-3-1, will be on corners and maybe some free kicks, but probably not pens with Kuyt in the team and definitely not when Gerrards back. I just don't see him scoring as well as last season, far fewer bonus points to be had and at double the price of last season.

    Ignore name was a drunken joke that went a bit wrong.

    Please RMT really ripping my hair out trying to fix it. Yes its 3-5-2 as I think midfielders will score better again on points again this year.

    Given, (Ruddy)
    Enrique, Kompany, Bosingwa, (Caulker), (Simpson)
    Malouda, Moses, Ramsey, Silva, Nani
    Carroll (C), Drogba, (Lita)

    Once Manutd leftback position is clear I am going to swap with Bosingwa (hopefully for Rafael). 0 in the bank but Enrique's price will hopefully go up giving me an extra kitty to play around with.

        I think Liverpool are just like Arsenal they leak goals for fun but not as bad. I think his price will go up to around 5.5 hopefully 6. Then that extra 1 million I can buy Luiz or Alex etc. Which would give me a back 3 of Manutd, Chelsea and Man City - the top 3.

        Lita is keeping the bench warm is not going to be starting what so ever. Was either Caulker or ORR, and in my opinion Caulker is a gem and Swansea should concede less that QPR.
