“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.

        Haha, The Tuesday Club podcast are loving him at the moment. I know it's short term and Sagna will come in soon but I want a bit of Arsenal because of the Bould effect and all their other defenders are an issue: Verm pricey, Mertesacker under threat from Koscielny, Gibbs injury prone. Would get Jenkinson for a few games and switch to one of Mertesacker/Kos/Gibbs once the dust has settled.

            No one was dissing your post earlier WR, it just seems that you didn't factor in the possibility that his mate was the girl in question.
            Then you ducked and ran for cover.
            It was unnecessary in the first place. Why couldn't you have thought it and not written it?

        I'd imagine so, I mean if it's the worst start for 104 years if they lose...1 point in 4 games. 104 years ago is 1908 I think...so unless they had a worse start before that losing to Man Utd might just make it the worst ever.

      So did he or didn't he? I'm not sure what would be gained by saying that? If anything, Wigan would possibly relax a bit knowing he wasn't playing versus the other way around. Does that make sense? I think it does.

    So, with 2 weeks and no transfers, my knee is twitching and I'm planning for my 2 freebies next week - which do you guys think is the best option?

    a) Just Kagawa -> Barfa, save the other transfer, leaving 1.3m for Zabaleta -> Baines in GW6 (rolling forward the extra freebie)

    b) Kagawa & Podolski -> Hazard & Lambert, leaving 1.3m in the bank for Zabaleta -> Baines in GW6

    c) Kagawa & Podolski -> Hazard & Fletcher, leaving only 0.3m in the bank.

    d) Kagawa & Podolski -> Barfa & Fletcher, leaving 2.7m in the bank for Zabaleta -> Baines in GW6

    e) Kagawa & Podolski -> Barfa & Lambert, leaving 3.7m in the bank for Zabaleta -> Baines in GW6

    De Gea, Federici
    Zabaleta, Hughes, Cuellar, McCartney, Clyne
    Bale, Kagawa, Michu, Pienaar, Guthrie

          Arsenal's upcoming fixtures have put me off investing in any of them at the moment.

          If you would rather get Cazorla over Pod then fine. But Podolski is scoring points so seems a bit sideways to get him out and then get Cazorla. Just cant see why you want to get rid, you can then have 3 big forwards instead of Hazard and Cazorla like everyone else..

            To be honest, the main reasoning behind getting rid of Pod is that he has mcy & CHE in GW5 and GW6 - I just can't see him scoring well in either. Will almost certainly get some ARS coverage from GW7/8, and that'd give me a few weeks to assess whether it's Podolski or Cazorla. There's also no value to be lost in Podolski right now either.

        I feel i get everton's exposure with baines and hatem brings pens, fks, form and good fixtures.

        However pienaar is cheaper and has better underlying stats.

      Latest rumour is from Twitter. Some guy was at an evening with Sir Alex allegedly. Posted a pic of himself with Rednev and Dwight Yorke.

      He claims Sir Alex confirmed RVP is fit for the weekend. Get your teeth into that until the pressers tomorrow.
