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.

    I might not bring Kun back in when he's fit again if Sturridge - Suarez - RVP keep paying dividends. Anyone else have this thought cross their minds? Would have Silva or Yaya as City cover and be done with it.

        aside from 10 points last gw thanks to bonus points, he hasn't had a double haul week since late November and that includes 4 matches played. he's very fragile, more so than RVP even I think

    Ok..i have an interesting question. The general footballing notion of "Form is temporary,Class is permanent", does it apply in FPL?

      Most definitely
      The top players will keep rising to the top as we see every year. Does not mean you should not jump on a few form waves but keep enough class in your team that you have room to manoeuvre without multiple hits when it comes to catching these

        Fair enough. But then why do you see a lot of people opting to downgrade Aguero to Giroud or Benteke rather than Rooney? Surely cash is not the only factor.Or like AJ over other midfield options.

      I think this applies at the start of seasons when you have no form to back your decisions up. Class players I would say are those players who hit form more frequently or maintain it through the majority of their career. Those managers who got Suarez in straight after their ban clearly benefitted from his "class" as it allowed them to purchase him when there was no evidence of class against several forwards who had form at the time (Giroud, Benteke, Sturridge, Soldado).

      I think this is a valid question at this moment particularly in respect to RVP who I don't think anybody disputes the class of. Certainly him and Suarez are a class apart from the forwards in the Premier League today. But his form this season isn't great. So will his undisputed class bring his form back? The shot of confidence at the weekend certainly wont hurt.

    Hazard Mata Silva Mirallas AJ

    I can then do JRod & Silva > Aguero to 4.8m mid at any point in the next few weeks depending on when he's fit...

    The plan would also be to lose AJ for Ramsey when he gets back...

    Morning/evening peeps,

    Hope you're all doing well. Thought I'd ask for some advice on this car crash defence:

    Chester Clyne Coleman Mariappa (Koscielny)

    I have 2 FTs but need to use one on Lukaku (suggestions welcome) so that gives me one to sort this lot. Thinking Clyne to Evans and then play Coleman. If he doesn't recover (likely) then Mariappa at the Emirates comes in...

          NO! Mannone needs a playing keeper alongside him 1 definite and one probable blank gameweek alongside him. Lukaku is injured. Personally I don't think Ozil is worth it but like the fact you have someone different. I would downgrade Ozil and upgrade Lukaku to Rooney or Benteke

      At first I thought that you were benching Koscielny 😯
      I'd say that your plan is sound. Depending on who you get for Lukaku (JRod, maybe?), you could upgrade Chester instead of Clyne. I'm still not sure whether Clyne will start.
      Coleman is supposedly out this weekend.

    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
