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.

    Arggh ballsacks, Kompany injured. Teaches me to take a 4pt hit early in a GW. I can take a price fall on Kompany and rise on Skrtel/Enrique. So what to do?

    A - Take a -4pt hit (-8 total for the GW) to get Skrtel
    B - Take a -4pt hit to get Enrique
    C - Leave it and play Simpson or Taiwo (one against arsenal one out of favour?)

      Skrtel is more likely to pull the points from an attacking perspective but of course is more expensive. Depends if you need to the money elsewhere really, which I'd suggest you might if you have Taiwo.

          Fair points, but do you see him regularly getting 60+ minutes in this squad? Nah, he seems to be backup and his position has been shifted around as a utility defender in the past just to cover for people. If someone got a long-term injury it might be a different story..

      He wasn't the greatest tonight. His other games have been bad aswell, BUT as a caveat previously he has been coming back from injury in his last few games (and same goes for Nov/Dec time).

      Tonight's performance plus Nani being benched means I am bringing Nani in ahead.

      You would be smarter to go Ba to Suarez. Do you really think Aguero will be rotated again? Let your opponent go down in flames with Ba...but I'm willing to bet he will go Ba to either "Yak"...which will literally murder your team. You would trade your one differential that he can't? Also Ba won't do much against the Arsenal high-line or off-side trap. Dumping McClean for an AOC or Drenthe or even Bale for Gerrard or Kuyt would also cover you.

      I'm gonna say that Aguero to Rooney will go down as one of the stupidest moves of this gameweek. No offense to you buddy, I'm just baffled by it. It's like someone said that United had a bunch of choice fixtures coming up and even seasoned FF managers looked at WBA @ Old Trafford, and lost their damned minds...

      Rooney burns a hole in a 60k pockets.

      WBA is a damn good team Aguero has not been successful on the road. A 0-0 point salvage by WBA and a Rooney yellow would absolutely piss off a lot of people.

      And don't get me started on the Skrtl-Love here too.

    I really want to hold out and wait for more positive Glen Johnson news then bring him in but know I'll end up wasting £100k and buying Skrtel instead if news isn't good or I sit on my hands and wait.

          He actually seemed a decent option at the time! Would have picked Taiwo at the time but there were still doubts on his work permit. Turns out that would have been just as bad.

      It's very playable Mull. I think we've all been in the same boat.

                I think we've been proper unlucky with him. When he dropped out of the Irish squad I didn't think it to be much bother. I mean, he finished the QPR game (where he kept a cleanie and was sat on my bench - Standard) and everyone else seemed to be dropping out of the International friendlies after all. He just went on an extended vacation the bar steward.

                Not soon enough. Had him pencilled in the XI this week. Alas, that is not to be.
