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.

    So I thought i'd go for a fantasy MLS team, but unfortunately I know nothing about American football (or soccer 😛 )

    So how about Donovan, Beckham, Keane, Henry, Kris Boyd and a selection of the most selected players filling in elsewhere?

    Or should I read the MLS FFS site for tips?

        And i'll likely start this up and promptly forget about it, but there's loads of dead teams in FPL, it doesn't really matter

      I follow MLS and I still don't even know all of the players on my team.

      All the good players are really expensive, so you're forced to have players you've never heard of before on your team. There's no middle pricing it seems like

      Oh did not know that......i will join them both. Should be fun....this is my first year. There are lots of DGW already sheduled. The playoff format looks rather cool. There is no mid season free WC however depending on the week, they give you 1, 2 or 3 FT. The bonus points look interesting (they can be actually tracked).

      Apart from the regular point system, the bonus points are given by;

      Attacking Bonus

      Players will score extra points for positive play:

      1 point for every 3 crosses (A cross is defined where the ball is played to their own player in the penalty area)

      1 point for every 3 key passes (A key pass is one that leads to a shot at goal)

      1 point for every big chance created (A big chance is one where the analyst determines the player should score)

      -1 point for every big chance missed

      Defending Bonus

      Players wil also score extra points for good defending:

      1 point for every 6 clearances, blocks or interceptions

      1 point for every 6 recovered balls

      -1 point for every error leading to a goal

      I think he might well do, what are you waiting for, there's no injuries to wait on, so if you want Suarez this week its best to get him now and get it done with, if not then don't bother.

      I'd say he's worth a punt though

      Young looked vaguely dangerous against Bilbao, but i'd still take Nani over him.

        Yeah I agree - Rooney is a firm 3rd for me from the 3. I need to take a gamble and I'm pretty sure my mini league leader won't have Suarez, so the potential to make up ground with a Suarez (c) is swaying me. Also, it's pretty much a guaranteed 8 points.

        Nani being rested last night - a sign of being out of favour or just resting for the w/e?

    This is best season I've ever seen from Wayne Rooney. It's amazing just how smart he's become on the pitch, Rooney doesn't run around like a headless chicken--picking up fouls and wasting chances anymore.

      Not sold on Newcastle defence anymore and might be wise to cut Krul for Schwarzer. Moses has always been Aids and to have him now could cost you big. Other than those 2 you are ok.

    Can someone please RMT? With Kompany injured, I'm unsure whether to start Simpson who's away to Arsenal, or Taylor who's home to City. Not even sure about my starting 11 to be honest:

    Vorm
    Evans, Enrique, Simpson/Taylor
    Miyachi, McClean, Dempsey, Yaya, Bale
    Suarez, RVP

    Subs: Krul Ba, Simpson/Taylor, Kompany

    Thanks in advance.

    I could transfer him out, but then that would mean an 8 point hit?

    All week have had Young (and rooney) in wildcard , but im suddenly wondering if i really need two united attackers.

    FOR
    1) Good fixtures
    2) Nani and Young can be productive

    Against
    1) Rotation risks

    Almost tempted to use that midfielder spot for Mata , then can wait and see what happens once Valencia comes back

    I just dont see united doing too much against WBA and i think they going to be rested against Wolves

      Doubt Mata outscores either over the next few weeks imo. Young and nani can explode at anytime and you need to be onboard when they do. Valencia prob doesn't get rushed back and can see Young and Nani having 2 weeks of rotation free football expecially after what Park showed today(He was Aids).

              I've gone with RVP and Rooney, Udit. I just meant that after last week's farrago anything could happen - a blank for RVP and Rooney, two for Welbeck and Balotelli, maybe even Miyaichi will score some points. One thing's for certain, though - Suarez will hit the post!
