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.

    Evening everyone. does Baines & Boruc to Terry & Mig sound good with 2FT? And is Mignolet still a good pick even though I have GJ? Alternative would be to do Baines to Collins and Townsend to Walcott but I think it may take Wally a while to settle in? Here's my team:

    Boruc
    Baines GJ Vidic (Clyne Turner)
    Whitt Ravel Ozil Hazard (Townsend)
    Aguero Suarez Lukaku

          Rodgers says he's the sort of player who has to play every game to remain at his level, so yeah, he did and he will. This is why I'm leaning towards him over Aguero this week: you KNOW he'll play.

      Suarez missed one game over the last Christmas period - because he was suspended for 5 yellows, he's not close to the tightrope this year, so no worries about that. Suarez is a machine, never gets injured, plays through anything, was still one of the best players on the pitch last weekend while jet lagged.

      Other than that the big guns could all suffer rotation, Aguero, Rooney, RVP.

      Lukaku will probably play every game, or almost every game, might miss one, but with Kone out for a while, and Jelavic a bit shite Everton need him.

      Benteke will play every game if fit.

      Gerrard, Yaya, Ozil?, Remy, Soldado should all start every game

      Well, there's still bib theory to go off, and Demi usually gets it right early

      Flanagan has been talked up by Rodgers and Gerrard this week, pretty sure he'll start this week.

      Johnson will start, and I expect Agger and Skrtel to start again, with the CBs rotated for the midweek game.
      Lucas, Gerrard, Henderson in midfield.

      Suarez and Coutinho will start.

      Allen may or may not start, depending whether he's punished for that open goal miss, and the fitness of Sturridge.

      If Sturridge is fit he'll come in for Allen, but I'm thinking it could be Moses that comes into the side for Allen, with Sturridge possibly not fit enough

          Flanagan will start this weekend, I'm 95% sure of that, itrs a reward for his good performance last weekend, Rodgers selects on form.

          Only doubt is what happens over the hectic Christmas period. Could see Cissokho play a game or two, or even Kelly, with Johnson RB.
          Flanagan will get the chance to make himself first choice though, whether he takes it, or last weekend was a one off remains to be seen.

              Yes carrick is very good. And you are right that he is this without ever contributing FPL points.
              So theres 3 others who you can class as attacking.
              They have done FA. Thats my point.

              And yes it is a fantasy game, I don't forget that but Uniteds poor MF contribution was clear to me before I saw their FPL points. The FPL points just shocked me.
              1 assist for Valencia, Giggs, Young and 1 goal from Valencia after 12 games.

              This is exactly why they are 6th.
              UNITED in 6th! This unheard of. Because their MF has never performed this poorly for such a sustained period.

            Carrick has the most forward passes of any player in the top 5 leagues in europe. Most underrated mind in football IMO. Wings are shaite I agree apart from Valencia who is solid at the least. Jones and Fellaini are at least above average CDMs. Chelsea, Arsenal, City are better, but other teams I do not think so.

              Lallana and Wanyama

              Barkley and Osman
              Cabaye and Tiote
              Paulinho and Dembele

              Its subjective of course but I dont bracket Jones and Fellaini above any of those pairings. No disgrace in that but this to say Uniteds MF is on par with that of Everton, Newcastle, Southampton just magnifies the problem I think.

              And Moyes spent 27 mill without improving it cos if Carricks fit I dont see Fellaini starting

        Well it certainly shows the attacking contribution but yeah my post was twisted a little for dramatic effect.
        Still though, no goals or assists from a MF is ok if theyre getting the back 4 clean sheets but they aint doing that either.
        They've been rubbish all season and their fantasy contribution bears the stats well.

      I've been disappointed with Ozil tbh. He seems 'lazy' to me and doesnt seem interested enough or to try hard enough.
      I know people say the same about Berbatov and justify it saying its his style but something just doesnt seem right with him. Almost seems to slow Arsenal down sometimes.
      I think i expected to see more energy and runs into the box that he's shown.

              Depends who they are shifting him for. Oscar may get limited game time, Walcott likewise, who as yet has little form to go on. I always feel with Arsenal any of the mids can score big on their day.

    United should sell Nani and Young for about 20 mill combined, and buy a quality winger. Simple economics, they'll lose 2 crap players and bring in someone decent. With Valencia, Kagawa, Welbeck, they have more than enough cover without these 2.
