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.

    ok folks, apologies if this has been asked, but only just got in from work.

    What are people doing about Bale, doubtful, with not great fixtures on the way, how many are hanging on to him?

    If you are selling him, who for? Tony V, Nani, Gerrard, Adam, VdV?

        I already own McLean.

        Assuming I get Rooney and Skrtel next week I'd have 1.3 to spend on an upgrade (this would be down to 0.7 if I got GJ).

        Am tempted to keep him on the basis I'd likely want him back in added to the fact I want 2 FTs next week.

      Disagree about the fixtures. Almost over the hump as far as Spurs fixtures go. Plus we can score anywhere.

        I agree, spurs are good enough in attack to score a couple against anyone in the league. My bench is decent enough to cover him for those 3 wEeks, though it will no doubt be tempting to switch him for nani who has great fixtures

              flashscore.com is better than the new BBC web site.

              So Yaya will be injured and knackered.

          It's not a glowing pick by any means but he's a patchy player and could be in one now. He's also done well for some time against team taking the game to Arsenal, which Liverpool will do. I might buy him too.

    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 appriciated.

    Hi all,

    Would appreciate some views on my team for this GW:

    Vorm
    R.Taylor | Richards | Evans
    Silva (VC) | Sess | Siggy | Bale
    Aguero (C) | Ba | RVP

    Krul | Caulker | McClean | Kilgallon

    Vorm may not play but if he does I think he’s more likely to get a CS ahead of Krul, if he doesn’t play Krul will come in.

    Pretty sure I want to play Caulker ahead of one of the 3 in my team atm but can’t decide who.

    Is it worth a 4 point hit to get G.Cahill in? Was going to leave it to next week but with my defense not looking like it will get a CS this week should I do Kilgallon > Cahill this week?

            Interesting fact, Tom had first refusal on Release Me and turned it down as he didn't think it could be a hit song.

    - Wastes paper.

    - Wastes time.

    Europa League Group I Match day 2 Preview

    Well ... At least my predictions were right! Mull did indeed have an easy home win - but JKisthe1 and Rebeldog had a ding-dong in which home advantage proved crucial!

    Group I
    Group Leader Team Manager W D L F A GD Pts Rank
    Mull Atletico Madrid JKisthe1 1 0 0 50 47 3 3 2
    Udinese Mull 1 0 0 52 38 14 3 1
    Rennes Dudu 0 0 1 38 52 -14 0 3
    Celtic Rebeldog777 0 0 1 47 50 -3 0 4

    Can the doughty Rebeldog777 halt the rampaging Mull? Will Dudu salvage some pride at home to JKisthe1?

    Celtic (rebeldog777) vs Udinese (Mull)
    Injury / Team News:
    Celtic: One free transfer available this week! Kelly and Rooney both doubtful ...
    Udinese - Has already made his transfer ... He has Kelly, Valencia and Lindegaard ... AND Sorenson!!! So a keeper has come in, this week, and I’m confident that it is Mignolet!
    Predicted Line Ups:
    Celtic: Krul; Richards, Santon, Simpson; Bale, Dempsey, McClean, Chamberlain; Aguero, Van Persie, Rooney
    Udinese: Mignolet; Richards, Shawcross, Williamson; Bale, Silva, Sessegnon, Moses; Ba, Aguero, van Persie
    Match Verdict - Very close home win.

    Rennes (Dudu) vs Atletico Madrid (JKisthe1)
    Injury / Team News:
    Rennes - Has one free - and a wild card available! Rooney(doubtful) and Valencia ...
    Atletico Madrid - Still has two free transfers available! Ba came in, as surmised!
    Predicted Line Ups
    Rennes: Hart; Kompany, Evans, Talor R; Bale, Sessegnon, Dempsey, Taarabt; Rooney, Zamora, Dzeko
    Atletico Madrid: Schwarzer; Richards, Taiwo, Caulker; Dempsey, Bale, Silva, Sigurdsson; Ba, Aguero, van Persie

    Do you reckon losing Sess and getting Pilko in GW 28 a good move or are there better sub 5.5 mil options?

    Will have Nani Dempsey Silva Siggy ? in the midfield. Have Bale now but want to get Nani in for him. Need to take punts to catch up;)
