It’s the ScoutCast vs Adversity. Granville drags himself out of his sick bed and we scramble into a makeshift studio, determined to return to the airwaves after our absence last week.

Apologies in advance for the echo, the faint background hiss and Granville’s Bonnie Tyler-like tones. If you can see your way past that little lot then you might just find some worth in this week’s episode as we grill the Gameweek 29 blank, sauté the Gameweek 31 doubles, boil down the Suarez vs Sturridge debate and lament our joint decision to choose Edin Dzeko from the lavish striker buffet, ignoring the sumptuous Sturridge in the process.

In between that particular call to Captain Hindsight, we rinse through the regulars, although Granville’s poorly state has us clean forget to credit the Scout League leaders or offer our thoughts on our new Fantasy Football squeeze – Ultimate Fantasy Premier League. Please accept this note from our respective Mum’s and the promise that we’ll return to full fitness next week.

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

      Hmmm. Maybe Sherwood will wake up and reinstate him into the starting 11. Too bad I got rid not too long ago, however, due to his lack of recent playing time.

        First thing is to understand that he doesn't have that kind of team where he can bench players like Eriksen - for weeks, I mean.

          He has no option if Eriksen ain't been producing. His performance prior to being dropped was unacceptable.

    Not sure what to bet on now. Was thinking of betting on a Dnipro win on the counter after they went 1-0 up, now Eriksen has levelled from the free kick. Maybe 4 or more goals at 2.5?

    Getting knocked out of Europe has so much upside for Spurs:

    1. Allows us to concentrate on the league without the distraction of a second-rate competition on a Thursday
    2. Increases the likelihood of us ditching Sherwood in the summer and getting a decent manager in
    3. Prevents us from embarrassing ourselves anymore on national TV

    Having a real dilemma on when to WC - whatcha reckon fellas? Apologies for the long post!

    OPTION A - Wildcard in GW31.

    This would mean having the below 8 starters for GW29 (4 point hit) and then WCing in GW31 to get the pick of 10-11 DGWers

    Terry, Ivanovic*
    Hazard, Lallana, Snodgrass*, Puncheon
    RVP*, Lambert

    OPTION B - SAVE FOR LATER

    This would mean having just the below 5 starters for GW29:

    Terry
    Hazard, Lallana, Puncheon
    Lambert

    and the below team for GW31:

    Mannone
    Kolarov, Demel, Chester
    Hazard*, Mirallas*, Nolan, Sterling
    Aguero, Suarez, Sturridge

    * = non DGWer

    Ultimately I think it boils down to:

    A) Ivanovic, Snoddy & RVP for GW29 and a fresh pick for the GW31 doubles. Downside = WC used.

    B) Only 5 starters for GW29, a slightly less than optimal (but still pretty good) DGW team for GW31 , and a WC saved for the later DGWs (to max out on ARS, EVE etc)
