The title summons up imagery of Granville straddling me at the Potter’s wheel, lovingly helping to craft a clay creation as we unite to sculpt out a Van Persie bust – in true Lionel Ritchie’s “Hello” style.

That’s probably lost approximately half of our potential audience who are too young to recall the analogy. The other half are likely to be repelled by the image of Granville and I caught in a Swayze/Moore-like clinch.

If you’re part of the minority still sticking around, curious to hear how the above nonsense translates into a podcast, then listen up. You’ll catch the plenty of Wildcard ribbing, a tale of captain calamity exposed by this week’s community questions and the usual array of regulars.

Prepare to be haunted via this link or exorcise your right to stream via the handy player below.

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

      I sold him within 24hrs of his injury, regretted it the very next morning and still wish i'd kept him. They have fantastic home fixtures coming up, injuries or no.

    Who's in for Joleon Lescott tomorrow? 4.8m, will certainly get minutes at West Ham, and likes to have a headed goal from corner kicks.

        You nearly never recoup the 4pts hit for defenders, and is Clyne in your starting 11 ? Probably not. wait until you have a FT and no other compelling needs.

        i can't take all the anti-puncheon innuendo on this forum tonight, it's bonkers.

        Go look in the stats. He's the best 5th mid there is.

        Away matches, all midfielders:

        Puncheon mins per touch in penalty area: 42.2
        ... which is better than Yaya, Eriksen, Shelvey, Cabaye,
        Mata is 40.0

        Puncheon mins per goal attempt in pen area: 76
        ... which is better than Cabaye, Eriksen, Ramsey, Cazorla, yaya, Lallana,

        Puncheon mins per shot on target: 108.6
        ... sounds bad, but it's better than Silva, Ki, A.Johnson, Mirallas, Januzhype, Lallana, Barkley could manage

        Own Puncheon with your head held high, gentlemen.

    So when a price rises on one of your players is it a good thing? Surely it means that lot's of other people have bought the same player as you. Yes it validates your opinion of that player but every time they rise it reduces the value that player has to you because more people will get the benefit from those points.

      1) not by very much, and
      2) you can't play the game and expect to win, if you prioritize differential players at the expense of quality.
      3) if you already had the player, everyone else is late to the party, and the advantage you gain is in the points they didn't get, and in the FT they needed to spend just to keep pace with you

      Rooney is almost as good but less expensive than RVP.
      Mata is good and plays in Midfield unlike the other two who (usually) play upfront. But he hasn't had time to gel yet. But is likely to play every game because is cuptied for Europe

    But if others are buying your player at a higher price it leaves them less to spend elsewhere. If someone brings Coleman in now, they will be paying 1.1 more than I bought him for. That leaves them 1.1 less than me to spend elsewhere in their team. I also have the advantage of reaping all of the points the rising player has had, which lead to him rising in the first place. Then knowing when to sell helps you stay ahead of the curve.

      i don't agree. "knowing when to sell" is an intangible value, and affects your OWN team, nobody else's.

      Don't outsmart yourself here. It's true that others may have bought Coleman for more/less than you, and can do other things with the money.

      This only matters in the very improbable case that you and your opponent have the same exact team, and the only difference is your selling price vs. your opponent's.

      If you can't say that's the case, then this game is about optimizing the points. That's all. Has nothing to do with budget. You can play the value game, but do so at the expense of points and hits and limiting yourself with logic such as "I wouldn't be able to buy him right back since I sold him for less than he now costs" etc etc etc

      Hazard, Mata, Silva, Gerrard, Colback

    Perils of playing wildcard earlier in January, coupled with early transfers this week.

    Pick two out of three to play:
    Januzaj, Azpilicueta, Ward

      I'm debating Azpi and Ward myself. Defensively I'd go Azpi over Ward,but if Ward is playing mid,me may snag some offensive points.

      Januzaj will most likely see some action so he would be one of the two to plya for me.

      azpi and ward, for me.

      actually, I'll take Januzhype and Ward. Janu at least would be guaranteed a point when he's subbed on with 18 min to play.

      Ward over Azpi because MC will score more than Arsenal.

        Chelsea will play ultra-defensively the way they did at Arsenal and ManU. The game might not have many goals.

        Januzaj is a weird situation... I still have no idea how ManU will play with Mata, Rooney and RvP. Mata on the right, Rooney in the hole and Januzaj on the left? It is a possibility.

        Whatever I choose, I'm not expecting much.

    Lallana has 1 goal, 3 assists and 3BPs away from home...

    JRod has 6 goals, 1 assist and 11BPs away from home...

    (ful STO hul whm LIV cpl)

    With 4 out of their next 6 away from home, I might take JRod instead... I kinda like the differential aspect as well, as I'll need to make up a few points on those with Lallana...

    Mannone - Boruc
    Ward - Mertesacker - Coleman - Chico - R Bennett
    Eriksen - Hazard - Mata - Yaya - Puncheon
    Benteke - Giroud - Suarez

    If I keep Aguero

    Mannone - Boruc
    Ward - Mertesacker - Coleman - Chico - R Bennett
    Eriksen - Hazard - Mata - Johnson - Puncheon
    Aguero - Giroud - Suarez

      Looks solid, bold front 3 in team A while everyone else is going the Sturridge/Utd/Ade route.. Couple of questions -

      You think Boruc will keep cleanies in Lovren's absence ? I know Wanyama gives them solidity but a bit iffy on this.. Feel like Adrian is good value

      And explain to me this love for Chico, you've had him for ages ?! Especially with Europa resuming and swansea fatigue..

      Anyway I'd like to see Boruc+Chico -> Adrian+Azpi if that can be worked out but this is a sweet team anyway

        When I have played him he has got me great scores (including last weeks 15). They have 3 very strong fixtures coming up then 2 very good home games in the next 4 and he has only not played 2 games all season. Swansea have just come off a very difficult run of fixtures. Just you see the returns will come. He does have a good goal threat too. All in all great potential

          I had actually earmarked Chico for a place in my WC team a few weeks back, but I'm not so sure now... especially after I missed his haul...

          They have Napoli away 3 days before they play Palace at home in GW28 which is far from ideal looking forward to their good playable fixtures...

          Which means that this would be a very short term move, and I'd only really be looking to play him for the next 3...

      And with team B, Johnson's fixtures are about to turn nasty very soon, and the blank gameweek coming up.. Try squeezing in Lallana if you can ? Has a significant ownership in top 10k and could hurt you with double digit hauls ..
