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.

              He was given the role earlier in the season when lukaku was taken off early.. vs Chelsea i think. And was given the role quite often last season too if i remember correctly

      He's been in full training this week but as far as I know Big Sam hasn't stated he will play. WHUFC website stated his return is "imminent" but nothing concrete (yet) otherwise.

      Given their resolute defending against Chelsea (I know they won't play so defensively against Swansea) I can't see a big rush to get him back, but I'm hopeful!

      But surely if you do this every week then you will lose ground as Suarez gets better points per game on average.
      If you want to be different get a few players in with low ownership but don't play around with your captain choice - always on who you think will score the most points.

      I had both Clyne and Chester,took out Chester because he is going to be dead wood for the next 6 weeks. Bought in Chambers. Point being that monitor over the next 3 or 4 weeks over who is more nailed on of the two(Chambers/Clyne) and then take out the one out of favour for a free

    Someone was on earlier about 2 transfers each week to improve the game,along that theme I would like to see players rise or fall as soon as they hit 100%,this would massively increase decision making and also dispose of wasted transfers every day ,eg mata is going up tonight but about 20 k transfers will be irrelevant and notion number two would be just scrap the flag system altogether,eg again RVP wold probably be around 11.9 now given all his absences....

      You have to be careful with the balance between FPL fanatics and casual players. While many on this forum would presumably like 2 FT and constantly changing prices, it would make it more difficult for people who enjoy playing FPL but don't have the same time allowances for it, and discourage them from playing in future in the gap is extended between them and the fanatics.

      It wouldn't improve the game, transfer decisions would lose as much impact because it would be easier to ship people out. Teams would become more similar as people would find it easier to transfer in on form players.

      12.5 at worst.

      Game would become a 24 hour game. Too much work for FPL to keep updating constantly.
      I don't mind flags if obvious. RVP being cheaper would just make him an easier acquisition.
