These are difficult times for Granville. Sadly for him, his prediction that Diego Costa’s studs played into my hands along with Emre Can’s ankle proved correct – the Chelsea villain pushed me into a Gameweek 23 Wildcard and I cashed in.

It left Granville spitting feathers and 92-points behind but he remains defiant. Even with the millions draining from his squad via his active Wildcard, my resolute co-host is not giving up on keeping the season alive and the rivalry as bitter as ever.

We weigh up Granville’s latest options in his quest to close the gap: analysing the contest between Sturridge and Aguero for our place in our forward lines, check in on the fallout from the Sanchez injury, whilst wading through the usual regulars ahead of another Gameweek.

    I wasn't able to follow any news in the last 2 days

    1. Man Chest Hair United

      1. LewanGOALski
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah, I see. Though no tweets or whatsover, which makes it a bit odd to me personally

    2. An Púca
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Yes, out this weekend

      1. LewanGOALski

    3. Isco Disco
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Out for the derby and may be out for the Leicester game. Some are keeping because the team news for the Leicester game come out before the transfer deadline.

      1. And we all have legs
        • 11 Years

        I got rid for that exact reason.

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Who told you it was going to be definitely postponed?

    2. Duke Silver ☑

          might have something to do with the fact that he has a major in bellendism.

            Yeah Berb, just admit you made it up so we can get back to our miserable lives 😉

            1. Reedy
              • 15 Years

              Exactly

              • 15 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              it was on the scout tweets earlier, hes still a bell tho 🙂

              1. Somalion
                • 16 Years
                11 years, 1 month ago

                Didn't realise it was 50/50, thought it was the usual striking hijinx that threatens but never really stops a game!

                1. Back to Back Ballacks
                  • 15 Years
                  11 years, 1 month ago

                  Doubt it will stop it, tram doesnt go to OT anyway as far as I know so cant see why it would have a major impact

                  1. Somalion
                    • 16 Years
                    11 years, 1 month ago

                    Was thinking something similar, can't recall these strikes usually causing a postponed game... though I may have forgotten.

                    1. Somalion
                      • 16 Years
                      11 years, 1 month ago

                      Though I may say, I don't think Berb is a bell 😉 Nor do I think that of you BTB, you're both gents imo.

                      1. Back to Back Ballacks
                        • 15 Years
                        11 years, 1 month ago

                        hes grand, but jut dont call Stevie G a bell in his company, it makes him cry a tad and rattles go flying, quite the spectacle....

    lots of money in the bank. 😎

    1. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Gonna ditch Pelle soon?

      Same midfield as me expect ADM instead of Caz (purely based on their switch back to a better formation).

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Pelle to Sturridge/Bony soon

        1. Somalion
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Good move either way.

    2. FantaCity
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      The money in the bank can't score you any points - spend it?

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        That'd mean losing 4 points 😉

        I dunno if I'd bother with the rotating goalies though - miss all those juicy away save points

        1. wedgec
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          I guess you've got a point but it's served me well up to now and saves a transfer in case of injury/loss of form. Thanks

        I think he's worth a shot. 2nd most key passes and assists and 4th for shots per game out of all Soton players

        1. wedgec
          • 13 Years

    He started the game.

    1. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      As a WCer I can't possibly justify having Sanchez in my team although I will leave cash for the potential switch.

    2. Viper
      • 16 Years

      He was absolutely crucial to us then in an absolutely crucial game. Different situation here with all our options now..

    B) Chadli & Sanchez -> Silva & Caz (-4)

    Clyne / Fonte / PVA
    Haz / Chadli / Sanchez / ADM

        Most interesting. That had passed by unnoticed on my radar.

    Best of these three to choose?

    A) Sterling
    B) Eriksen
    C) Oscar

    1. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      A

    2. WDT
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      love owning Eriksen. That is reason enough.

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Good man.

    3. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      C for the next 3

  24. Gooner97
    • 12 Years

    Puncheon to Sterling or keep?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Keep, for now.

      1. Gooner97
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Mane tempting too.

    2. LOCO ABREU
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      keep

      1. Gooner97

        Thanks

      This is probably one of the fixtures you got Puncheon for.

        I know, cheers. 🙂

    transfer sanchez to

    a) walcott
    b) cazorla
    c) silva
    d) sterling

    leaning towards cazorla

    1. Viper
      • 16 Years

      C.

  26. LOCO ABREU
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Foster-Myhil
    Clyne-Jones-Keane(Pva-Wisdom)
    Hazard-ADM-Sanchez-Walcott(Moses)
    Giroud-Kane-Aguero

    1ft, 0.7 itb, Sanchez>Silva or just play Moses? got Sanchez at 10.3, can sell at 10.8. What you think?

  27. Bolivian Seaman

    Aguero owned by 60% of the top 10k last week. Will be more this week. He doesn't feel like much of a differential anymore

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Quite.

    2. LOCO ABREU
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      never was a differential really no?

      1. Bolivian Seaman
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        I guess not

  28. Demí
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Who isn't captaining Aguero here?

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I am not.

      1. Demí
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Hazard for you, Sir?

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          Yeppers! :-0

      • Has Moderation Rights

      Between him and Hazard.

      1. Gooner97
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        This

        1. In Like Flynn.
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          I really can't decide. Hazard would give me the diff if Aguero continues to fail to score.
          On the other hand.

          1. Gooner97
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            I'm leaning towards Aguero atm. I don't trust Villa, do you remember last year performance at home against Chelski?

            1. In Like Flynn.
              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 15 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              I think it has to be done from a damage limitation point.

            Let me finish that sentence:

            "On the other hand... it's Hull at home!"

      Me

    4. Somalion

      City aren't great but Hull are just the worst.

      1. Demí
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        True dat. I'd probably feel confident captaining Doosra against them

        1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          😆 😛

          1. Demí
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Tis a complement 😉

              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 16 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              I know, really. 🙂

        2. Somalion
          • 16 Years

          😀 I simply cannot ignore Kun this week.

    5. LewanGOALski
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Tempted to go for Haz after what I was from Villa last week, but I am afraid my balls are too small not to (C) Kun

  29. LewanGOALski
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Is -4 pts hit for for Sanchez ➡ Cazorla / Silva ?
    Boyd is my alternative if not

    Haven't listened the scoutcast but are Mark and Granville that Alexis is ruled out? If they don't seems like no point . Because that are the big news...
