“A template” – something that serves as a model for others to copy.

Thanks to the painful international break, we’ve had a testing fortnight during which time we’ve appeared to witness a trend that has seen the birth of a “cookie cutter” Fantasy lineup – much to the frustration of those quick to seize on the merits of Eden Hazard, Michu and company.

Back from our enforced holidays, Granville and I aren’t exactly international bright young things – more jaded, grizzled old grumps who are hoping that somebody steps forward to shake things up. As long as it’s not Gareth Bale – I sold him for Michu. Yeah, busted: I’m as bad as the rest of ‘em.

Wildcard played before the break, I attempt to get Granville to admit its failure, whilst thanking him for his calming words which cooled my boots as my finger hovered over the squad refresh button. I still can’t quite work out why he talked me out of it – a cunning long term strategy perhaps? Surely not?

Break the mould by listening in via this link or use the handy player below to stream the goodness…

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    a) downgrade torres to jelly and then upgrade maloney
    b) keep the same
    c) switch howard to cheaper and upgrade defence

      I think it's unlikely. With the exception of QPR and Southampton, WBA have conceded more shots in the box than any other team thi season. Fulham on the other hand have had the most shots on target with 24; Utd, City & Swansea are 2nd place with 17.

I have moves planned for this week and the next, but as mentioned, don't want to take hits this week because of minileague payout possibility.

            You might be rght about my naivete--although I'm kind of old for that--but I am reacting to what seems to me a too early zeal for debuking what might be a present and very acute pain for one of our posters.

    Thoughts on Ms.Deutschland, Podolski as Captain this week?

    Don't have RVP and at the moment wrestling with getting in Hazard or Cazorla for Mata. Cazorla would be captain this GW if I brought him in.

    I plan on having Cazorla and Hazard in the near future, so just a case of which one 1st. Hazard edges the fixtures, Cazorla brings a good C option this week.

    So rather then go in circles about Hazard vs Cazorla, the question really boils down to, can I trust Pod this week with the armband? His stats have being okay, if not terrific so far.

    Team is linked and would appreciate your help! I have two free transfers

    Im thinking Bale -> Hazard
    Torres -> Berbatov

    Which will free up 2.4 million in cash. Im happy to spend 4 points to use it, but how best?

    Are kagawa and cole really injured or just, 'international', injured?

    I could swap kagawa for carzola?

      The way i see it, Sunderland have been creating few chances and have the least appealing fxtures for attacking returns of the three. Fulham have been creating the most chances and Berbatov is arguably the best player of those three. Southampton are attack minded, have made some decent signings and Lambert is the cheapest. I'd say Lambert for safety, Berba for a punt.

      Maybe it is better due to uncertainty
      Rooneys return = Rvp not essential, but useful
