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.

    The idea that Baines is cursed is only because everyone pays so much attention to the events in matches that directly relate to Baines' prospects for points. What other players are under the microscope this much? None really. Who pays attention to all the penalties Norwich nearly get...No-one...because no-one has Holt.

    Would you captain Rooney away to Reading, or Suarez home to Southampton?

    Rooney +ive
    - On pens
    - Likely to start after being withdrawn on 77 mins vs West Ham

    Suarez +ive
    - Most attempts on goal (and on target) of any player in the past 6 GWs
    - If Liverpool score, he's likely to be involved.

    Am concerned that Southampton's form has picked up, and United probably has the greater potential to score more goals. Suarez has to create his own chances, typically.

    Any persuasive arguments?

      How worried should I really be about not having Suarez?

      I can do Lambert > Giroud

      or

      Baines > Ridgewell & Lambert > Suarez (-4)

      I'm not one of the people who advocates selling Baines really, just watch the games, he could have scored 3 goals in the last week and had numerous assists, but if hes injured then he will drop like a stone.

          Nearly scored from a Mata corner, what a difference that would have made.

      So, Baines stays, Mata stays, but I can't find the cash for Ba to Suarez...

      Goodnight.

      It´s incredible how the template transfer is Tevez -> Suarez.

      I was talking with a friend of mine, yesterday, and he was telling me about how few have Suarez in our mini-league and that he was going to extend his lead by captaining him, which I replied that everyone would get him this GW due to an easy home game, I just didn´t expect to be such an obvious transfer after Tevez´s 19 pts. 2 GWs ago.

      Just did Tevez-> Suarez

      Is this worth it, would allow me to keep Baines too.

      Hazard -> Walcott (-4pts)
      Simpson -> Enrique(-8pts)

        I have Hazard and don't wanna take a hit to get Bae in but really want Bale! What do people think, is it worth getting Walcott or Bale for a hit?

        I have Caz so it would be Silva or Bale for me...

          That's been put to bed now I think. We've looked a lot stronger in the last few weeks.
