There are no brown envelopes in sight; this “bung” is firmly placed in my nasal passages as I clamber from my man-flu grief pit to sit alongside Granville and take my Gameweek medicine. After seeing me off by 21 points, it’s only fair I gave my co-host his moment of glory, regardless of being short of match fitness.

Somehow we end up arguing about Robin van Persie once again, before taking a gander at the bandwagons rolling and preview the weekend’s action the only way we know how: by rambling endlessly and singling out some dubious player picks along the way.

Get your repeat prescription via this link or cure your ailments via the easy to swallow player below.

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

    Who to play: M Turner (SOU), Celustka (cry), Ward (SUN).

    I can see a CS in there somewhere but so hard to call.

      from what we've seen so far, lacks a gun centre-half, but really is a super front 7

        I think defenders point potential has been exaggerated by low scoring games so far, so I still think its best to load up on a top front 7.

          Or 6. You're flattering Mirallas.

          My own plan is for a template front 5 and use the money for 4 big defenders - Coleman is one of these. After that you just need one player so I'll rotate the rest.

    I know I'm probably in the minority and will get abuse for saying this - but is the membership for FFS rather pointless.

    I mean, sure you access to tonnes of data and stats but at the end of the day, I'll end up transferring in popular picks that have done well or have a nice run of fixtures and I don't need membership to tell me that.

    And besides, many of the 'explosion immenent' players etc. are discussed in great detail on the comments here anyway.

    CONCLUSION: Membership is over-rated.

    Alright, I'm ready for the abuse now.

      It's not a great deal of money though. And it's a site I use everyday. I didn't even have to think about it or ask any questions about what I was getting out of it. That being said, there are certain features I have great interest in - RMT, season ticker and the average positions. Other people will find the other features particularly useful.

      The other thing is, you talk about the popular picks but how do you think they become popular? Not all but some will be based on a player having unbelievable stats as shown in the members area and the members all getting said player in.

      Granted everyone's subject to different financial circumstances but at a quid a month I think it's barely worth thinking about.

          there's obviously a business plan here that the guys are unlikely to divulge for obvious reasons. but they're in a good position to maybe start making loads of money, although i'm imagine they don't make anything really from it right now. probably depends on fpl becoming a paid game. but 2.5 million people playing a game means there's a lot of scope for making money

            agree.

            Fantasy sports is a profession for big players in the US and you can pretty much play for as much money as you're willing to invest.

            Suffice to say those running this site and a lot of the members are some of the big players in an almost 3million runner game.

      Pepin made a good point about Dzeko the other day which I'll butcher a bit but here goes

      - Dzeko's averaged 14 goals & 6 assists with an average of 1650 minutes per year (or about half a season of minutes)
      - if he just raises his minutes to 2000, he's quite a good value at 7.7

      Other than RVP & Bentenke, not sure any of the rest will get many more goals than that

      I wouldn't ever captain him because of rotation risk, but he'll get the points.

    Rooney is people who can't afford RVP easily, panicking over no United cover once the fixtures ease up and convincing themselves that Rooney is just as good when he isn't.

    Could do with some help; my back line reads like the who's-who of human waste:

    Zab, Chester, Rat, Brayford, Toure

    I've already done Haz > Silva. So any defensive subs I make will be a -4. Is it really worth it to bring in a defender, bearing in mind that 3 of my 5 are unlikely to play? And if so, whom? I have 1.4 mil in bank so money is no object.

    help appreciated!
