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.

Grab the goodness here…

Did I mention I was England’s number one in the Champions League game? (edit – I see Mark has been busy editing my post)

          Btw. There's *too* much difference in the potential scorers in FT imo. No one will ever pick any of the 'big' players.

            may have got carried away with aguero and rooney's early goals but if both start you fancy them for at least a goal in their respective fixtures.
            it's all based on what i learnt in the pilot last year

              VDV isn't as good as a winger, in my opinion, and if they played VDV behind the two strikers they'd have to play something like a 4-3-1-2, which wouldn't be great for wingers such as Bale.

      Considering trying to work Aguero, Rooney, Silva and Nani all into my team. Too much City/Utd attacking coverage? I just feel that Chels, Liverpool and Arsenal players offer no value for their points return. Already have Adebayor and have transferred in Ramires (bargain at 7mil) this week.

      Plus I feel Utd and City will begin to scamper away from the pack sooner rather than later.

              Again true mate, completely agree with what you're saying, only factor I'm considering is a Rooney less united.

      If I thought there was a high chance that Rooney will play, I would do Bent to Rooney and Dzeko to Agbonlahor/Best/Sturridge (4 point hit).

      If I thought he wasn't going to play I'd do either Dzeko to Suarez (no hit and Bent will play and might do well this GW) or Dzeko to Suarez and Bent to Aguero (4 point hit gambling on Aguero getting at least 4 more points than Bent against Wigan).

      aaaahhhh what should I do??

      Given, Ruddy
      Kompany, Bosingwa, Simpson, Brown, Wilkinson
      Mata, Silva, Arteta, Dyer, Moses
      Rooney, Adebayor, Dzeko

      1 free transfer, 0.9 in the bank, willing to take a 4 point hit. I have no idea what to do, any advice is welcome.

          He would have 4 Citeh players then. Rooney to RVP I say. Problem then is no Utd coverage. Would you do Mata to Nani aswell for the hit?

              Interesting, no Nani or Utd for this weekend? I've been trying all night to find someone else who ISN'T getting Nani in. Would make my transfers a lot easier because I'm staring at at least a 4 pt hit to bring him in considering how poor my midfield is

          Meh. Tottenham have won 3 PL league games on the bounce, Arsenal have injuries and are leaking goals. Would take a brave man not to back Adebayor to score anytime IMO.

        depending on what mancini says tomoroow it's either keep or hernandez. agbon does look good value though, as does s.flecther for the next 3

          That would be awesome but i see him playing, Balo could even play wide with Nasri dropped

          Getting Nani in (-8) mind just opened up.

          This frontline beauty doesnt look bad now

          Ok so he might get benched for 60 minutes, but will surely cone on with no reserve strikers, and will now be more nailed on without Tevez.

        He should apologise for being sh1t.

        Start or not he could still play 90 mins and do nothing as he has done many times before. His post WHL form in itself is enough to ship him.
