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.

    This, and my team is sorted for the weekend.

    Planning to play 3 defenders out of Terry, Naylor, Chester, Hutton and PVA. Checked the betting websites and the possibility of cleansheets ranked from highest to lowest.

    Chelsea (home to Leicester)
    Swansea (home to Burnley)
    Hull (home to Stoke)
    Aston Villa (home to Newcastle)
    Sunderland (home to ManUtd)

    So it makes most sense to start Terry, Naylor, Chester and then Hutton on bench in front of PVA correct?

    Just a tad worried about Hull after Europa, and whether PVA potential attack points could more than make up for the low odds of a cleansheet.

    On another note, will you bench Henderson (away to ManCity) for any of the defenders above?

        Yeah he was looking fairly ugly sitting in my team yesterday but then 2 assists in 20 minutes from 0-1 down is a decent indication that he can return some points on his day.. Whether he can do it in the league is a different story but at least its only QPR!

    What is the best tactic for goalkeepers.

    1) Get in one expensive (6) and one cheap (4) like Courtois and Myhill - total cost 10

    or

    2) Get in two cheaper models of 4,5 each and alternate first team choice after who prior the gameweek has the bigest chance of CS? ex: Krul Mannone (or Guzan) - total cost of 9

    if the choice is nr 2, which 4,5-priced goalkeepers do you prefer?

          When I predict... I base on all 11 playing 60mins (22pts) add the extra 2 for cap (24pts) 1 save point (25) then 10bps (35pts) then obviously add what I think your attacking/Clean sheet returns will be

    I've some genuine, statistical advice for all you people who are 50/50 on choosing people. Decide which one you gut is telling you to pick, and then choose the other one. They will statistically be more likely to do better - and if you don't believe me (because you think it must be 50/50) then look up the Monty Hall problem.

      Bony to be. Don't need to worry about the transfer. Liverpool on Balo means they won't buy Bony. Arsenal doesn't seem so as well (if they decide to buy they will go for someone far better than Giroud). Can't see any team, no matter in which leager, will have the money to buy him. He cost Swansea $12m before. Will Swansea sell him less than $20m? If not, who else has this money to buy a not-yet top class striker? For me I think his best chance of transfer has disappeared for long, which is, Everton has the best chance to buy him, but they strike a deal with Chelsea to take Lukaku. Game over for Bony's wants, haha.

Whereas Suarez, much as I can't help but love the guy anyway, was reckless in a way that impacted Liverpool much more.

        I don't follow Serie A, but his stats with Milan are still pretty good? 26 goals in 37 league starts? And I've heard they have been poor as a side recently.

        Yeah, to be honest I'm just scared he turns out to be lazy in games. But this is based on nothing except that I think that's the worst possible outcome. Reckless challenges and other passionate stuff I can handle as long as he puts in a shift.

        But I just think people underestimate how "tough" it must be to be sensible as teenager who came from poverty to earning silly money for playing a game, if that makes sense. I think he'll have matured a lot.
