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.

    How does this look for a WC team? Going big on 'Pool and United as I'm looking to make up a sizeable deficit:

    Reina (Bogdan)
    Enrique, Evans, Lescott (Simpson, Caulker)
    Nani, Dempsey, McClean, Pilkington (Sigurdsson)
    Rooney, RVP, Suarez

    0.0 in the bank

    Simpson Senderos Enrique Kompany Dawson

    Should I....

    A Do nothing and hope Senderos plays and Newcastle don't get thumped.
    B Dawson to Evans - which I will be doing next week anyhow. 4 points hit
    C Komps to Skirtel ( losing .2 ) and double up on Liverpool? 4 point hit

    In hindsight - I'm very glad I didn't make my moves earlier in the week - especially after this news about Kompany.

    Now.....

    I have Komps, Kelly and Dyer red flagged. Two free transfers.

    Looks like Komps is out for old ninja turtle Skrtel.

    I was gonna ride out Dyer's suspension, but with Kelly being red flagged now, Is there any confirmation as to how long he's going to be out for? Is he definitely out of the weekends game?

    Really don't want to be wasting a transfer on him when Aguero to Rooney was the only transfer I really wanted to make....

        The thing in Siggy's favour though is he gets a lot of his goals from set pieces rather than open play, and you can score those against the best of teams

      Dempsey out of the two. Not amazing away form and Arsenal concede most games. I'll admit Newcastle's form isn't great but I fancy them knicking a goal. As Dempsey is a midfielder it makes a bit more sense also, his away form of late isn't great.

      Moses is in my side, but that's over McClean. I think I'd still do the same if I were you, although I'd feel much less happy about it.
