Out of his pajamas and back in the studio, Granville and I reconvene after another dull international break to resume ScoutCast duties.

Arsenal’s new playmaker dominates, with the pair of us coveting Santi Cazorla’s charms and competing for his affections, whilst, in the back of our minds, wondering if we’re being taken in.

Robin Van Persie also gets some oxygen – don’t worry, that’s not oxygen treatment – he’s just the subject of this week’s discussion as we chew the fat on the “essential” debate that appears to rage on as the Gamweek’s roll by. The regulars all find their place amongst the merriment, as heat is turned up on the mini-league and mini-game struggle between myself and Mancunian magic man.

            Well i've been thinking that with him playing 90 minutes in Spain's first game, then 75 (practically another full game) in the second game against France, and with a Champions league game in midweek, wouldnt u rest him against the relatively easier opposition which is norwich? . Add to that that he hasnt been rested yet this season, and it just feels risky for me, i really want to bring him in but this fear is stopping me. (I know hes a beast, playing 38 of 38 league games for Malaga last year but with Champions league football and more international games, it just isnt the same)

              I get this, but thing is, I can't see anyone else playing in his position in that Arsenal team. They'd have no spark in really, his creativity is key, and his shots too. I don't think Wenger's gonna field a mf of AOC, Arteta, Gervinho and Coquelin/Ramsey even against Norwich. Caz looks good playing away from home and I wouldn't be worried about him playing 165 minutes in 10 days if he can start 38 games in the La Liga. And they're already 7 points behind the leaders, so Caz to start for me.

                True, his creativity is important to Arsenal, but he's gonna get rested at some point, and wouldnt this game be the right time?. Chamberlain is good enough in my opinion to create the chances considering Gervinho, Podolski have also been in form and can create goals too. If you were Wenger, and you knew you had to rest him eventually, would'nt you do it now with a champs league game in midweek?

                  I'd definitely play him, for an hour at least if not for full 90, yes Norwich don't look too good, but you can't take anyone for granted. If it was a home game, I'd have agreed, but being an away game it just doesn't seem to be the best option to rest the player who's central to their attack.

                    As strange as this may sound, its actually better they rest him in an away game like this because they've had problems with teams that defend in numbers, and thats when Cazorla is key, whereas Norwich playing at home will try to attack, and thats when Podolski, Chamberlain, Gervinho can run riot

    Thanks for looking at the attacking potential of defenders Giggs (http://members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/public-stats-tables/view/46/). Can't believe Boyce is so high, I was beginning to give up on him. While the lack of CS still might force me to get rid of him, it makes me slightly less urgent about getting rid in case he punishes me.

        I can see Wigan and Spurs scoring so Ivan for the attacking points maybe...plus the risk of others playing him...you benching him...and he scores...considering the ownership you miss out big time.

      Gervinho should definitely start for you, considering he's almost guaranteed to play with the Walcott injury while HBA, Mata, and Yaya's games arent so great. I'd say take out HBA or Toure for Gervinho, or better yet, maybe its better to play all 5 mids and bench Graham considering he hasnt been making points

          Terry out makes Chelsea's defence stronger, IMO. He's hardly been pulling up trees with his performances recently, has he? Have a of of time for Cahill (Luis aka playstation defender, is still in the side though).
