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.

        The double up on Chelsea defence is fab...i was meaning more in the attacking role though...Nasri and Aguero or Jesus and Aguero might be good for a smash and grab...or even the two strikers.

      People haven't adjusted yet. More likely when Silva is back although Negredo looks great now.

          This. Like Negredo and Kun especially for this week but it would mean losing Remy and a -4 so probably not worth it for me.

              Yeah. I know, Like I say though I don't think getting Negredo in over Remy in the next 6 would be profitable looking at both sets of fixtures and with a hit to boot, maybe when Silva returns and hopefully helps them start to click in away games as well.

    My defence:

    Boruc / Davis
    Terry / GJ / Williams / Burner / Faye

    A: Faye -> Ward
    B: Save FT

    Choosing A means I'll avoid playing Turner for Arsenal at home for a slightly better clean sheet chance (CPL away to Norwich). I want 5 playing defenders to guard against xmas rotation so will most likely make this transfer next week anyway. Any other ideas?

                    I think going by BR comments that position is his to lose until Enrique returns. Gerrard saying he was their best player on sat too and at 4.5 it's got to be worth a shout. In saying that, I have two chelsea and Kosc there already so I'm not going to be overly relying on them. Kinda decent back ups for me.

          Points should appeal to you! Stay away from Lamela is all I can say...

          As for spurs scoring sometime, why?
          Soldado gets no service
          Paulinho has had so many chances and couldnt finish a jigsaw with one piece left.
          Townsend is a greedy bo!!ox who shoots from anywhere rather than trying to set someone up.
          His manager is a tool who hasnt disciplined him for this greed and idiotic play.
          Dembele rots on the bench while grossly (grossly, grossly) overrated sandro starts the last 8 games.
          Their best CB is playing at LB
          Their manager blames everyone except himself.

          Dude, Spurs are a mess and only did well last year for one reason, GB.

          As for united not being watertight fair enough but they will still concede less than most.

          Punt away but its a certain failure
