Pavel wotshisface. He’s a bit good. We really must learn to pronounce his name correctly – with thousands of Fantasy managers shipping him in, he’s threatening to stick around.

While we practice our “Pogrebnyaks” in “All Aboard”, Mark and I also lament the costly break granted to Sergio Aguero and David Silva, debate the double Gameweek temptations and pick apart our hosts freshly dealt wildcard.

We’ve even included the entire episode this week, rather than cut the thing off half way through. We spoil you, we really do.

Grab the banter here, or stream away with the handy player below.

      I would get Suarez in instead of Adam or instead of the double LFC defence.
      I've punted on Myaichi too...why not the fun part of this game is gambling on the 5th mid.
      Don't like Siggy fixtures but he does look a dangerous bugger on set pieces.

        Suarez has burned me before, so I'm going to leave him. Totally agree with the 5th mid, it's the perfect spot for a punt. I've had Siggy for a while and he's been great (once on my bench, once on the pitch).

        Adam is a bit of a gut feeling, but if I change now and he does well I won't be happy!

          Just coz he burned you before is no reason

          My thinking on getting him in was this ; We all know LFC haven't been scoring too many goals and that Suarez has never scored twice in the Prem etc. etc.

          I see both games being tight, however I'm banking on (say) a 1-0 and a 1-1 with Suarez involved with a goal and/or assist.
          With the the games prob being low scoring and him prob LFC best chance of a goal/assist..I think he might "buck" (haha) the trend and nab a few bonus.

      Also wildcarding. Quite different though.

      Defence looks a little weak, and Surman seems er, rubbish, but I guess if you had Tony V in for Drenthe, you'd bench Surman every week and then just juggle your defence. No reason that couldn't work!

        Yes, Suarez is pretty short term as well, probably get rid for Adebayour, depending on how he goes over the next couple of weeks,

      Looks good, keep an eye on Richards' fitness, though.

    Sess -> Drenthe worth a cheeky hit?
    Drenthe likely to play both games = gets 4 points back.
    Or just keep with McClean for cover?

      Not for a hit. Also be prepared that it would only be a 1 game punt so you will have to be in a good place transfer wise

    I think i'm sorted for the weekend. I heard Kelly isn't starting so i had to choose between Santon(ars) or Caulker(MCI).

    Any thoughts?

    Hart
    Skrtel Evans Caulker(?)
    Silva Miyaichi Dempsey Young
    RVP(c) Rooney(c) Papiss

    Krul, McClean, Santon, Kelly

    No hits so far but no FTs left.

        In 2 weeks he'll be gone for Adebayor so i'm happy to hang on until then. He's a poacher though, when he does get a touch, it's usually in.

            space meaning victimized countless times by the offside trap and watching Kos and Verm win all the other balls hoofed up towards him or Ba. Almost as bad a move as all the Aguero to Rooney trades. Straight crazy talk.
