Granville’s lackadaisical approach to the new campaign might just explain why he’s treading water. Missing deadlines and price rises, my ScoutCast co-host badly needs to introduce some organisation into his season if he’s to keep pace – the man needs a PA – get your applications in.

With Granville floundering, I’ve decided to lay down my Wildcard to potential rub further salt into his wounds. Is it a chronic case of “jerky knee”? Granville certainly thinks (hopes) so.

We chat over my Wildcard revolution, analyse how the heavy-hitting midfielders are failing to pull their weight and rinse through the usual regulars in the same disorganised fashion.

Minute this meeting via this link or set your own agenda via the handy player below…

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

            You need to be open to transfer talks all season. There's nothing worse than dead teams as their players become null and void. You can also claim free agents regularly and obviously need to set your team weekly

            you've got 9 hours to make each draft pick... so hopefully you can be present within that time range... or you can e-mail me a list of option of who you want with your next draft pick and (as commissioner) I'll do it for you (I don't open those e-mails until its your pick)

            players from free-agent pool can be picked up on wednesday and thursday (in turn for dropping a player)

            trades of players between managers can be done

            scoring is as similar to FFS as possible, except Fantrax is stingier with awarding assists

            your team name will need to be the name of an injury (as the league name is Knocks & Niggles), and a paranthetical inclusion of your FFS name (so people know who you are here). For example, I am
            Dead Leg (HeelsOverHead)

          Okay NABIL

          Exactly why I do a slow draft. Was in another league before I started mine last season where I had to get up in the middle of the night to have a draft. Seems kind of ridiculous. We had 12 hours on the clock last year and those who participated last year voted to drop it to 9 this season (as I put a number of things to a vote for people who were in it last year to try and make things better this year)

      by the way, for all... the draft is built as a "slow draft" so we can have people from around the world in the draft and no one has to wake up at a weird time or take a very long "coffee break" from work to participate...

      it takes longer, but keeps some chat going in the draft room for about a week to ten days... which helps the international break pass

      leagues are 20-teams to make it challenging, and make fixing your team from problems a deeper challenge... last year's winner survived injuries to Walcott and Jay Rodriguez to hang on by 3 points for the win

          He's been surprisingly creative since his return...very creative. His goal threat is almost on par with Ulloa as well. On top of that, AB pointed out that if Ulloa's main goal threat comes in the air, then he might struggle against the likes of Duff and Shackell, like he did against Palace.
          Ulloa's ownership is way too high to be a differential anyway

      Not worth the price tag. I still believe the best cheap left/right back is Robertson from Hull. Could have had a tonne of assists if Hull finished their chances

      Krul is not ideal but the rest of the team is fine so I'd prob save the FT. Then you'll have 2 FT during intl break which could come in very handy. BTW, like your comment for b): trsf Krul to a GK which means Krul is not a GK 😉 Ivan to Baines is too sideways imo, would not do that at all

        Yes very very tough! Went through the article as well but I'm still stuck.

        If I go for Tadic this GW I could do Ulloa => Welbeck for the next GW

        I already have Kun, but I know Silva is essential as well!

        Decisions, decisions...

    God damn the captaincy this week. Stuck between Aguero and Costa and it really is a lottery. Fancy both City and Chelsea to score 2 or 3 goals and think both players will play roughly 70 minutes. There's nothing to pick between them one will probably end up with 10 points and the other 2 😐
