Gently does it. Granville and I ease ourselves into the season with another thirty-minute bite-size podcast, gradually building up our fitness before we go full tilt next month.

Yes, it’s just the pair of us again, cuddling up in our intimate studio to discuss the events of Gameweek one, whilst casting one eye on the fixtures and events to come this weekend.

We get through the usual array of regulars, with Granville explaining how a wedding and a bout of childcare threatened to ruin his campaign, just as it gets out of the blocks. We reach out to all those Siggy benchers, whilst picking the bones out United’s limp corpse following their opening day defeat. We then chat Fabregas vs Hazard, Ivanovic vs the rest (they’re going to run and run) and sing Ultimate’s praises for helping the previously unloved play their part in our Fantasy seasons.

Pick at the buffet via this link, or dash straight to the main course via the handy player below….

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

    What would you do? Looks like Chambers will play. Save FT or get rid of him now? He probably won't play next week anyways.

      Hmm. I don't think he's good enough, he looks decidedly dodgy in possession and it was he who cost us the title against Chelsea with the silly corner he conceded, not Gerrard. I would much prefer Agger to stay and play. I think Agger is our best defender when available.

        Digging a hole on Sakho mate. Sakho may look awkward on the ball but he is consistently solid at passing out of the back and a very solid defender. Was immense in the WC. There is space for Lucas too, just not next to Stevie in a double pivot. Liverpool are in the Champions League and require depth at all positions.

      50/50 Sagna may get the nod in an early big one like this.

      Sagna also for chasing Sterling/Balo on the wing...not that our Zaba is slow!

      Bit of a selection nightmare on that side of the pitch. Two really good defenders. I wouldn't have either right now until we see how that defense shapes up

        I reckon Mangala will emerge soon enough as the best pick if you feel so inclined to have a City defender.

    RVP Rooney Aguero Costa Sturridge Balotelli

      RVP is an injury risk. Rooney tracks back, defends, scores and assists, Costa dives and so far hasn't been great nor has he had a chance against elite opposition. Sturridge can score but I am skeptical of his potential and if Balotelli comes that will split his production.

      Rooney all the way for me.

      Big question. Have been focusing on RVP but he is too expensive.

      Think that Rooney Aguero Costa offers the best combination -- Costa as the main frontman, Aguero as the permanent captaincy option, Rooney as the all-round workhorse. As a Sterling owner I can pass on the Liverpool guys.

      Hopefully 2/3 on pens as well.

        FWD FWD FWD

        Makes it much easier to read mate...

        I would recommend on easing up on the hits at this early stage, give your players time to impress... if after a few weeks you still feel the same, then you can switch them out, and at that time you will have a better idea of who to bring in...

        I think you're first priority will be Jovetic... hopefully a mid priced forward option will come to the fore for you... the rest is fine right now IMO...

                  I think Mata's been playing with a couch on his back, so I think you're OK there. Hazard on the other hand . . .

                  Any replacements for Jovetic (if he doesn't play/play well)?

                    I'm in the same boat - think I might leave him on the bench this week, but will wait til we hear more. How much money do you have to play with? There isn't much unless you can wiggle an extra 2.5m out from somewhere unfortunately, which is leading me to think about downgrading...perhaps to Bony? Or maybe up to Dzeko?

                  Hey DZ'ers - quick question for you all. Have a million in the bank after transfering Chambers out for Dummett this week (for better or worse), and curious as to your thoughts for next week. Team's as follows.

                  Krul/Guzan
                  Debuchy/Cahill/Caulker/Dummett (Bruce)
                  Siggy/Rambo/Sterling/Lamela (Albrighton)
                  Rooney/Costa (Jovetic)

                  78 points last week, feeling pretty good. Thoughts on Lamela and Jovetic? How long should I hold out on Lamela? Jovetic will need to be moved at some point as well. Thinking about doubling up on them if Lamela doesn't look good against QPR. Although not sure who to move in at the moment.

                  Any thoughts would be welcomed!

                    Well you look sorted for this week. I would sit back until after this weeks matches and then worry about it because sure enough your opinions will change by then
