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.

    Afternoon deadzone, I'm down to the last few questions on my WC, I hope you don't mind me getting your thoughts, apologies the first scenario is a bit complex but so is this game 🙂

    Q1 Sanchez obviously has already gone. Do I

    a) Make it easy to get him back within a transfer
    Naughton/ Hutton over Bellarin in back 5 of Ivan, Clyne, PVA, Naughton, Hutton
    5th mid Boyd (home to Swa in wk 27) over Walters / Moses (home to Hull in wk 27)

    b) Make myself need 2 ft to get him back
    Naughton/ Hutton over Bellarin in back 5 of Ivan, Clyne, PVA, Naughton, Hutton
    Walters over BOyd

    c) Make myself need to ditch another Arsenal and use 2FT to get him back
    Bellarin over Naughton / Hutton
    Walters over BOyd

      I like the idea of A myself and it's most likely what I'm doing also if all goes according to plan (it never does). Especially if Sanchez is fit for the Gw25 bout with Leicester at home, I think he would be a clear captain choice for the majority of here if deemed fit and for good reason.

      There's also a good case for chasing here fwiw going sans Sanchez all together, and replacing him with Wally or another Arsenal mid for the Leicester game

      One critique though, can you stretch the 5th mid to JWP if possible? Boyd is a bad option IMO with this run and although he's likely to start and play the 90, his chances of a decent return is minimal. I'd argue his chances of bagging you a clean sheet point is also low, so you're looking at a probable 2 pointer staring back at you when you need that bench most.

      At least JWP offers more attacking threat and better fixtures to boot if/when you need him to perform, even f he doesn't start, his ceiling is exponentially higher playing for just 30 minutes on ab better team and more offensive team, IMO.

        I've looked at JWP (assuming he is 4.8 per my memory), can afford if Sanchez drops in price which is likely

        I worry whether he is nailed with all Soton new options, however

          May not be nailed you're right, but in a 30 minute cameo I'm certain his chances of getting an assist from SP is higher than any attacking threat from Boyd, IMO.

      best option would be NOT to have to use 2FT to bring him in, Costa will be back Gw 26, and you will need transfers to cope with the blank 27 for Chelsea and Spurs.. so option A imo

      I did that tonight , 3 good fixtures , transfer him out the week prior to the dgw to Downing (CPL ) as he blanks anyway and would most likely bench him for the dgw ( whu ) as other premiums have tasty fixtures , Downing easily swaps to Chadli for dgw the week after too

      I'm actually offended by how intimidated by how menacing that team looks Hat.
      Like the direction you're going with the Wally(c) could be a great call if Sanchez is still out, or even in (albeit that's stretching it)

      Only real critique from me would be 5th mid, Boyd is a very poor option IMO and will probably net you a static 2 points on the bench. JWp is a stronger option is possible, if not I'd look elsewhere for a downgrade mate IMO.

      Chelsea double up in the back is a great choice Hat, very nice. Solid side overall Hat, don't embarrass your rival too much though, we don't want this too get personal now 👿

          I would be breath taken by that team if I was your rival, I can't even fathom how he could beat you as he will be in astonishment by the marvel bestowed upon him.

          Not to sure on Ameobi, from what I've seen he's under stiff competition from Obertan and Gouffran on that flank. Looks like it's his place to lose though after goal and subsequent performance vs Hull, wouldn't say he's officially nailed though by any means. Carver does have many options at his disposal for that position IMO, don't take my word for it though. Perhaps you'll garner a better analysis on him from a local Newcastle expert or Demi (not Steve) if you can catch him in the day time.

              Might be due 1 more sub role then?

                It's possible. It's a risk no doubt, but one I am willing to take. He can cause damage off the bench.

                  You could be right. Why go for Sturridge though when Sterling and Coutinho provide more value?

                    Because there is an abundance of top midfielders and lack of top strikers.

                        Hmm, see the lack of good striker options and the great depth of midfield choices makes me want Giroud. He's one of the few strikers that are really performing. I just think Sturridge is a bit of a risk given the fixtures and his recent return from injury. I'd rather have the less risky Sterling and Giroud over say Sturridge + one other

    I don't get the Silva bandwagon. Is it simply due to the cah from the Sanchez and ADM dumping?

    Sure he has HUL next, but he assists the assister. He has not been a fantasy option over the years, and now at 9.4??

    I bought him at 8.8 when he played false 9 due to Aguero's injury and dumped after the strikers recovered. Compare 8.4m Cazorla, who shoots scores assists, good stats, scores penalties.

      He is very effective as a #10 in a 4231. He had a great season not long ago playing that role under Mancini.

      The 4222 is the problem though, if Bony becomes a starter then Silva's appeal will be a lot less.

      Given the options and Clichy's potential of being rested... I'm liking D as your option - going 3-5-2 and affording yourself a top-notch MID for the upcoming GW - the way to go!

        Thing with Clichy is that he actually doesn't get rested much, and when he does he rarely comes on as a sub:

        Started 14 of the last 16 and no sub appearances for the other 2. Also, those 2 were over the busy Xmas schedule, so it made sense to give him a rest then.

        As long as you have a reasonable back up I think he's a very good option with those fixtures.

          City with one eye on the upcoming UCL fixture; perhaps more of a chance he'll be rotated for BPL? Worthy option, no doubt, I just think that having both Clichy & Bellerin may be a little too risky - leave you with Terry Coloccini & PvA as the weekly locks...

    Presumably Colback and Tiote are fairly locked in the double pivot and Sissoko in an advanced role. So that leaves Cabella, Ameobi and Perez, and I'm toying with one of the latter 2 as my 8th attacker.

      Carver may be more likey to stick with the old boys as he has been at the club for a while.

      I wouldn't take a hit for the second transfer but it does depend upon your defensive backup

    Ozil is a curious option. So far he's had 7 full games this season with 1 sub appearance. He blanked in every game apart from the 2 times he's played Aston Villa where he got double figure returns. The other teams he faced were (eve, lei, MCI, TOT, che), so apart from Leicester they weren't easy.

    Now some have said that Ozil was the standout player in recent fixtures. For those who watched his games since he return from injury, whats he been like? Is there a major fantasy prospect just bubbling under the surface here?

      He will be one day for sure.

      But Caz is in fine form, so may restrict his minutes IF Sanchez and Wally stay on the flanks.

      So much uncertainty in the Arsenal attack. I'm sticking with just Sanchez for now until we know more.

        I honestly can't see Sanchez and Walcott both playing in the same team, they are too similar and Wenger prefers having 1 creative winger and 1 fast pacy winger.

              Not sure I'd go for it yet because it would mean I'd have to drop Giroud (too many Arsenal) and i'd take another punt on Sturridge. Which in turn would mean having to downgrade Ivanovic and take another punt on Zouma 😯 This might be a bit much 😆

                  A) Sturridge, Ozil, Zouma,

                  or

                  B) Giroud, Silva, Ivanovic

                  I have to admit, even I think B) is bloody obvious here

                    Have to admit, B is bloody obvious. However, I'd go with A because I love 'dem players. Studgy and Ozil are so sexy....Giroud and Silva are so dull.

      I haven't seen him play, but listening to the radio commentary of the Villa match convinced me to take a punt on him. He sounds really sharp at the moment. Hope it pays off as I could've swapped Cesc for Silva instead.

          That's it - if we get away with not having him for the Hull match I think we'll be alright. I actually prefer Arsenal's fixtures in the next four.

          That's also true. I expect a tight NLD, as it has been in recent years. Possibly a week early for the punt, but I think (hope) it'll pay off in the weeks ahead.

            Also I believe that now Arsenal have so many top class fit attacking midfielders some big guns will have to make way in some of the games.

              Oh they will. I'm pinning my hopes on Ozil's form, reputation and pricetag to ensure he isn't the one to make way. But probably no-one's immune to rotation in that midfield now.

      They are the worst weeks. Always. There is nothing better than a week when you think your team is average yet some how you comethrough wit an good score. Usually this tends to be by hitting the right captain choice.
