Back after our own international break, I bundle Mark into the studio for another podcast and slap him around the face with my Wildcard.

Rusty after a week of absence, we’re forced to get our tongues contorted around a variety of team names, even more baffling than Mark’s unshakable faith in Victor Moses. Yes, indeed, Wigan’s most unfortunate Fantasy flop gets another airing, with Mark mercilessly banishing the Latics to the Championship – surely the only solution to his blind spot.

      He looked great last night and even against United and Swansea, if he hadn't missed that chance against united and gotten a stupid red he'd have a lot more goals by now. He's a quality player in fairness

    current team

    Given (vorm)
    Enrique-RTaylor-Bosingwa (Simpson Briggs)
    Silva-Lampard-Nani-Cabaye (Dyer)
    Rooney-Dzeko-Sturridge

    Plan for GW10 was to transfer VDV/Aguero/5.1m mid in for Lampard/Dzeko/cabaye for a 4pt hit but a bit concerned about going into GW9 without one of Suarez / RVP, so my question is this:

    Is it worth

    a) transferring in Suarez/Bannan in for Dzeko/Cabaye this weekend then carrying out the Aguero/VDV move (replacing Lampard and Suarez) next week (with 4pt hit in each week), or
    b) just stick this week and go with the original plan for GW10?

    I'd probably captain Suarez at the weekend so it could pay off

    Posted something similar before in a different article but some more opinions would be awesome.
    a) Ade/Vdv
    b) Suarez/Larsson
    Only thing holding me back from definitely picking a) is Suarez's next 3 fixtures, with captaincy he could be all the difference

      Save them till next week bring shawcross in then your team is more than good enough this week arsenal have Chelsea next week so don't think its wise doing Arteta to Ramsey plus very sideways move will also give you time to access whether Simpson is still going to hold his place down if he does Newcastle will keep more clean sheets than Norwich so you would regret taking him out for tierney

    What do people think about Silva going forward? Yes he's been the best midfielder so far this year and he's going to play a lot of minutes in a potent Man City attack but I'm wondering if he's going to continue to be relatively mediocre and if Aguero is the must have in the team.

            My dear friends and co-conspirators:

            Who do you think will score more this weekend, VdV or Nani?

            I have Ade, Saurez and RvP up top. Shipping out Nani will leave me with no ManU Cover. I can get Nani back in the next week or two, without loss in $$$’s. I am deperately trying to make ground on my mini-league.

            My current mid and front are:

            Silva Nani Petrov Arteta Moses

            Rvp Ade Suarez

            Thank you in advance for your enlightened and well intentioned thoughts.

              VdV will do better I think, just hopes he gets more than his usual hour..frustrating times!

              I'd rather save the transfer for this week, Nani facing Clichy and I back him to do some damage..

              Your lack of Chelsea cover worries me though, and I dont see Arteta as a keeper.. Maybe downgrade one of your strikers to Sturridge in nearest future, and upgrade Arteta?

                      Moses isn't really a fantastic player though. Do you really think that is the case?

                          For me there is a big difference between fantastic and good. Great goal by the way.

            What do people think is the best move this week with one transfer left?

            A: Mata - VDV
            B: Barton - Ramsey
            C: Both with 4 point hit

            Team right now:

            Krul (Vorm)
            Simpson/Bosingwa/Enrique (De Laet/Woodgate)

              Barton with awful fixtures, Ramsey might not get 90 every game but he's bound to score decent points over next 8-10 GWs

            Got 2 free transfers. Really wanna do Nani and Bosingwa - > Gerrard and Hutton.
            Got a feeling Nani might get benched again, and Chelsea really cant keep a clean sheat. Good or bad transfers? Got Rooney for United cover.

              I like it. I'm shipping A Cole and Nani this week. Gerrard should return something with the possibility of a big score
