These are hazardous times. Shopping in midfield is a thankless task, with little value and consistency on offer, aside from a pair of dominant forces who threaten to break the season, along with the hearts and minds of those too stubborn to jump on board their seemingly relentless bandwagons.

In this latest episode of the podcast, I lay the blame for my inept season squarely at the feet of my failing midfield and my reluctance to give Aaron Ramsey the time of day. Oh, how I crave those predictable days of the ever-reliable “Power Five”.

Granville does his best to ensure that my moans fall on sympathetic ears, although his sniggering gives him away on more than one occasion. In between giggles, my co-host joins me to dissect the week’s transfer activity, preview the weekend’s fixtures and mastermind another mediocre Gameweek for the ScoutCast lineup.

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

      No. Man City very unlikely to score any goals against second from bottom Sunderland. Even if they did score it would be more likely to be a goalkeeper than an attacking midfielder.

    need Michu out got 1FT, got 9.6m to spend on a replacement

    or for 4 point hit could swap soldado out for aguero and bring in a 6.9 priced mid, thoughts?

    current midfield michu, ramsey, mirallas, barkley, ben arfa

      I`d get Aguero...he will explode more than any mid

      Or Oscar if you want a 9m plus mid (hazard may not start, Silva may not play)

    Scary stat - I have gone from 600,000 to 98,000 in the last two weeks, purely because of captain pick (suarez then aguero). Scary stuff no?

    But what about this week?

    Boruc / Harper
    Dawson / Clyne / Coleman (chester / whittaker)
    Yaya Ozil Ramsey Michu (Barkley)
    Aguero Suarez Lukaku

    1) Michu > Hazard / Oscar / Silva and
    2) Barkley > R. Morrison / Mutch

    Thoughts? ANy others I have missed that could come in? Oscar seems safer than Hazard to me?
    Would appreciate any thoughts. Thanks.
