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.

            I have Firefox and Chrome. Chrome seems much faster, more clean, and easier to use imo.

            I use Firefox for certain extensions I need for work. It's a top browser, just slightly behind Chrome.

        I read it as him saying he was starting a new job and wanted to pick experience. But once he's accustomed to the ropes and knows more about the players, he'll start to pick on merit. I think that's why Evans wasn't featuring much at the beginning but is starting regularly now. Not saying he's rotation proof, but worth the risk at 5m

      I dont see how it is positive, just sais he is comfortable with all of his CBS, with Rafael back too now, there will be 5 guys rotating. Vidic would be only one nailed on if he werent such a fitness risk. Evra probably the only great option at the back for them. Evans at his price might be worth it though if he can get 75% of starts.

        Evra's the only one nailed on, i agree. Not saying Evans is nailed on but i still think it's a positive. He's worth the risk at 5m, frankly don't think Rio is good enough anymore. Evans is ahead of him imo, but i know you disagree

          How many of United's games does he have to play to be worth the risk? At around 5m and below, there are other decent defenders who are nailed-on.

          I dont disagree actually, I really just dont know. I personally still prefer Ferdinand and Vidic for big games though, but im not Moyes. And I think Vidic is 100% nailed on for important games when fit, but will sadly be rotated because of his inury history.

            We don't want Evens to start the big games, we want him to play against the likes of NEW WHM hul and maybe avl. Thing is, they play those four teams in a run of 4 games and I don't see Evans starting all 4. 3 is a fair bet but it could realistically be 2

        Its a Baines replacement… I like Collins at 4.3 to be honest. I already have Ivanovic & Williams, not sure I need more "premium" defenders and it will free up some bank for the quick fire GWs to come.

          No probs. I am playing 4-3-3 so I think 3 defenders over 5m who you can play most or even every week is a valid tactic

      Hi The mata is cr7.......

      I get what you mean and it could probably be done even if it would be a big task.

      I'm afraid however that the stats would be misleading, since you normally will take a point hit not for one week but for, say, the five coming weeks or sometimes even longer. What do you think?

        Agree...it's impossible to work out the value of a hit (investment)...You have to work out what the player you got did over the weeks and what the player you ditched got...and then any increased value that led you towards further transfers...It's all pointless (all puns intended)
