We return from the international break to find Granville totally smitten by Ravel Morrison. While that particular bro-mance takes me by surprise, the shock of my co-host agreeing with me twice on one ScoutCast is perhaps even more jarring.

I guess Granville can afford to be generous. With a 41-point gap between us, the Mancunian may still be laid up by an untimely knee-op but he’s sitting comfortably when it comes to our Fantasy rivalry.

In between sonnets dedicated West Ham’s troubled talent and jibes aimed at my struggling season, Granville joins me in rinsing through the current bandwagons, previewing the weekend and discussing topics such as Suarez’s lost bonus points. He also helps with the mispronunciation of Adnan Januzaj’s name on 72 occasions. We’re now praying he slips back into the reserves.

Witness Granville’s fatal attraction via this link or steam the suspect soppiness via the handy player below.

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

    b) Zabaleta -> Evra

    Barkley still looks decent value at 5.6m and has good fixtures, but triple EVE is a tad risky (especially triple EVE without Lukaku)....

      Sell Nolan, but to someone (e.g. Januzaj) that can make sure you have enough funds to bring in Walcott by offloading Mirallas next GW

      You may opt to save the FT, but I will play Kolo Toure instead of Ravel. But both don't look too great for me so an immediate swap from Nolan to Januzaj makes good sense IMO.

      Davies may play. Amat worse in defense but better in attack if compared to Williams.

          Everton should overpower them with Lukaku in the side. One goal and Hull will have to chase.

          I like this hull side, but i think Everton will have too much, especially in front of their own fans.

          That said, Spurs do like to give us a good d*cking lately. Villa are turning the corner but i still have flashbacks of them destroying us on the break at Villa Park...

          ... but i still wont back a player against the Villa.
