Batten down the hatches, Granville’s wildcard is active. Having suffered an abominable Gameweek 2 mauling, the Mancunian has shuffled, tail between legs, back to the drawing board. The excuses and justification are spread thickly throughout and Granville even calms his jerky knee long enough to strike back at my decision to transfer in Eden Hazard: the cheek of the man.

The usual regulars are, of course, scattered about this nonsense, including a record breaking “All Aboard” the weekend preview and the recent failings of the ScoutCast XI.

    Went over on the same ankle I snapped the ligaments in last year while training. Feckin holes in the pitch 😀

    Lampard I Yaya I Bale I Piennar I Maloney

    Torres I Tevez I Graham.

    0 FT (see below) 4.1 million in the bank

    I've just brought in Michu for Lampard but do I need to change anything else? bearing in mind it'd be for a hit and I can field 11 players on Sat. However I also have a fair bit in the bank is it a waste and should I act on it?

    Why are so many people climbing over themselves to get Michu (for what will be £7.2m) when Graham is £1.2m cheaper and will score more points in the season? Is it because it's easier to find a replacement up front which will replicate Grahams points per million than it is in midfield for Michus?

    Thinking of Ivanovic ➡ Baines for an 8 point hit (already done a 4: Barnett and Guthrie ➡ Kagawa and Rangel). Which option do you think will score the most points in the next few weeks (keeping in mind the chance of Ivanovic rotation):

    A) Clyne (MUN), Ivan (qpr, STO) +4

    or

    B) Baines (wba, NEW, swa)

    I’m thinking it might be smarter just to stick as I’ve already taken two hits this season, but thoughts appreciated 🙂

      Mark discussed this on the scout cast.
      Risk brining in hazard on Saturday evening is that he may get injured in the internationals.
      However if I don't and wait until internationals finish he could be 10.1

        Yes, very good.

        Getting twitchy about my time as no RVP but Ba instead 🙁

        Also wish I and swans Defeder. Damn you zableta !

        I'm not so worried about Hazrad as I have lamps.

        Early fact... Hazard won twice as many penalties as anyone else as in Europe over last 3 seasons. I believe he is averaging 1 per game so far this year.

        Kerrrchinggggg lamps 🙂 ( if on the field )

    I want to get Hazzard next game week. I can only just afford him with my current plan. One more rise will scupper me, so might need to rethink. So, is he likely to rise again this week?

    Thinking of Ivanovic ➡ Baines for an 8 point hit (already done a 4: Barnett and Guthrie ➡ Kagawa and Rangel). Which option do you think will score the most points in the next few weeks (keeping in mind the chance of Ivanovic rotation):

    A) Clyne (MUN), Ivan (qpr, STO) +4

    or

    B) Baines (wba, NEW, swa)

    I’m thinking it might be smarter just to stick as I’ve already taken two hits this season, but thoughts appreciated 🙂 🙂

      quality from top to bottom to be honest. One of the best teams I have seen in days. Get your captain right and you could be on a gold mine.

      Unless you wanted something else from one of the Wise Men...............maybe frankincense......or better yet BERRRRRRRRRRR!!!
