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.

Tread where others fear to tread via this link or laugh in the face of danger via the handy player below…

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

    Have to use my freebie to take care of Michu.

    Should I take a hit to upgrade Studge to Suarez or just ride it out this week?

      Another option would be to bench Michu and just do that latter part.

      I think Michu out is the priority. Every chance that Sturridge outscores Suarez this week.

      Also rumours that Suarez may get a rest next week after 2 games for Uruguay.

      Michu -> Silva if you can afford, otherwise Michu -> Coutinho imo

        Yeah, A seems the safe play, but City are rampant right now and Silva is at the heart of it.

        Currently on D with a plan to get Wally for Nolan soon, but I think a good case can be made for all 4 options. Tough

          If it's Silva you really want I would go with D. The benefit of A is that you have the xtra freebie after this week for what I think will be a clearer idea of midfield options.

        Haha, only issues with that are:

        i) Would mean triple ARS attack, which is risky

      I'm wondering the same as well. Have been going with one keeper all season, and got in Boruc for Mignolet a few weeks back. But now with the oncoming tough fixtures I'd want to get rid of Jakupovic for a starter. Krul might turn out to be too expensive, Foster/Myhill is next in line for me...

    need some help with my def rotations over the next 3 weeks...looking to downgrade a def by 0.4 to fund my silva move (if fit). current def: baines vidic dawson wilson burner

    A (vidic >> nasty):
    gw11: baines (cpl) dawson (NEW) nasty (sun) ----- burner/wilson backup
    gw12: baines (LIV) nasty (TOT) murner (new) ---- do wilson>murer; dawson/burner backup
    gw13: baines (STO) nasty (SWA) murner (CPL) ----- dawson/burner backup

    B (dawson >> williams):
    gw11: baines (cpl) williams (STO) vidic (ARS) ----- burner/wilson backup
    gw12: baines (LIV) williams (ful) vidic (car) ------ burner/wilson backup
    gw13: baines (STO) vidic (tot) murner (CPL) ---- do wilson > murner; burner/williams backup

    A is the slightly better option right? another important point to think is will it be better to use my future FT on a def in gw12/13. Leaning towards gw12 as most teams have tough games so not a urgent need to bring someone in unless someone gets injured during the intl break.

        Thanks. Leaning towards that but having two arsenal jerseys in the midfield is such a mindf*ck

      ozil and lukaku... but id prefer something like coutinho/silva/oscar and lukaku and use that extra money to upgrade somewhere else? (thats what i did.. did ozil to silva and then had enough to do barkley to oscar)
