Having made a huge two-point dent in Granville’s mini-league lead, it’s time to change strategy. I’ve been complacent for too long, allowing my rival and co-host a weekly insight into my plans, welcoming his nagging little voice into my head to play havoc as I hover over the transfer button. As my phoenix-like ascent prepares for take-off, it’s time to play cagey.

With my transfer plans kept hushed, Granville does his best to use his Derren Brown like powers to have me reveal all. Along the way we assess the week’s transfer activity in “all aboard”, preview the weekend’s fixtures and decide whether any Fantasy manager can possibly do without the Aguero/Suarez captain combo.

Keep your cards close to your chest and listen in via this link or shroud yourself in mystery via the handy player below.

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

      GJ. Skrtel is not really nailed on. Despite not getting any assists or goals so far this season, Johnson is more of an attacking threat. Attacking points will come for him soon.

      Would the other changes you make to be able to afford him do you any good or would the rest of your team be worse because of it? If the other players you're getting can improve your team as well then it's definitely worth it. If not then I'd try something else.
