Maybe I underestimated Granville. Maybe his throwaway comment made at 10.32 on a weary Wednesday evening wasn’t throwaway at all. Maybe Granville is a Fantasy football mind games genius.

Regardless of whether his plan was pre-meditated and devious, it certainly worked as you’ll find out in this, episode ninety of the ScoutCast.

Aside from my sidekick’s scheming, we give dear old Leighton another rinse following his twanged hamstring, tackle the template midfield yet again, check on the market movements in “all aboard” and, of course, look forward to the weekend action. We also start spending points on the ScoutCast team: it’s the slippery slope. Where’s Granville’s genius when you need it?

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

    Which one is better option to play?

    Hughes at home to Tottenham or Cuellar away at Norwich?

      I think I'm playing both this w/e. But of the two, I'd play Cuellar I think. Hangelaand still out, and Spurs (in particular Bale) looking good for goals.

      Cuellar. Norwich struggling to create attempts on goal in recent weeks. Tottenham the opposite.

    Which one would you bench this w/e?

    a) Fellaini (mcy) - feels wrong given his form, but City look so tight at the back, and if Baines is out then his supply is cut.

    b) Fletcher (nor) - weaker opposition than Fellaini, but Norwich also tight at the back, and SUN are struggling for goals.

      Yea can bring walcott in for YAYA, but means need to sell Sterling for 4.3 (Kanu DBW)

      Other option is to sell one of my defenders for Caulkner or Hughes... But obv cant sell Enrique, Evans is sure in Utd back 4, and im intrigued to see is there a goal in Natsastic??

      It's inevitable Mata will out score Bale this week, but it is still the right move, imo.

    The only thing more boring than the midfield "template" is Mark waffling on about it.

    You can fit the majority of midfielders in to these 3 categories. Late starters (Bale, Fellaini,Walcott), dips in (Bale, Caz form, or not maintained early season form (Hazard, Mata, Piennar)

    Just to let you know (as if you're interested), the wife broke her ankle at work to today, snapped her fibula and tibia in an altercation with high heels and stairs.... very silly.

    She's stuck in the London Royal for a few days after an op to get her back on her feet... or foot as the case may be.

    This is not good. I'll have her around the house for a week or 2 until I can push her back to work 😉
