Scruffy, sleepy and slightly milky, Mark returned to the podcast studio following the delivery of his bundle of joy. Still the “Daddy” in our mini-league, there’s still every chance that the sleep deprivation will get the better of him and he’ll give the armband to Victor Moses. I live in hope.

This week’s episode offers an early assessment of the double Gameweek wares, discusses the demise of the template squads, examines the latest transfer trends in “All Aboard” and, of course, offers our take on the weekend ahead.

The usual moans, goading and gloating are included, all pureed down and palatable.

Suckle on its teet of goodness via this link, or cut to the chase with the handy player below.

EDIT: UNFORTUNATELY THERE WAS A TECHNICAL ISSUE WITH TONIGHT’S EPISODE CUTTING OUT AT AROUND 23 MINUTES. PART 2 WILL BE POSTED UP TOMORROW. GREMLINS. SORRY.

    As an L'pool fan I am shocked at all this Pool defense love here. Agger is out, Carra is in. I doubt they will get a CS for a while.

      We will get CS's. Skrtel just won't push up as much that's all.

        yeah you have made me think again about Skrtel ahead of GJ, it's just the price difference that puts me off.

    Sorry repost, My team this week:

    Hart
    Skrtel / G.Johnson / Kompany
    Bale / Dempsey / Mata / Mclean
    Rooney / Aguero / Ba

    Mignolet / Surman / Evans / Santon

    Pretty sure Sunderland will score so not fussed about playing Santon. Should I swap Evans for one of my pool defenders and if so, how to choose which to bench?

    Is Bale worth benching or do we think he will either start the game or have no input at all?

    Who should replace Bale if I bench him Surman or a defender?

    Any help appreciated.

      It really steps up from there, I've been 1 win away from winning division 1 but I mostly move back and forth between division 1 and division 2...

          I agree, Dr Ennet. I didn't like the changes at first but in the end it is much more like real football. You cannot just have Vidic stick a foot in and take the ball....you have to be patient on DEF and cut down the passing angles.

          When you guys talk about Division 3 though do you mean the live online version or just the progress against the CPU? I play live and I'm in Division 7, but all that really matters is the skill of your opponent and the fact that they always take barca or real madrid (and they make you watch every replay of every angle of every goal the score).

          It is my fave game though even with that.

    "Suckle on its teet of goodness"....Granville doesn't write a lot of volume, but what he writes is pure comedic genius. Although I wonder if Mark's partner would agree!

    So guys... should we be dumping Ba ? is the bubble popped ? He seemed WAAAAAYYYYYYY to hesitant to go into the box in the last game... never looked likely to create anything 😛 If I had a free transfer left, I´d be thinking of swapping him for Odemw... your thoughts ?
