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.

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

    Would u rather to have Gru or Oscar for this GW?

    1. AK ⭐
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Giroud for me.

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

      Gru

    3. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Giroud

    4. Sharkytect
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Giroud

  2. JasonG123
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Which is better for the WC?

    (A) Myhill, Wasilewski, Bellerin, Ameobi, Sturridge
    (B) Krul, Hutton, Naughton, Boyd, Walcott + 2.3m in the bank to get Sanchez back.

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

      B IMO

    2. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      B looks better even without the 2.3m

      1. JasonG123
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        What about if it's Giroud instead of Walcott in the second one, same answer? (Walcott will be in my team regardless).

        1. Woy of the Wovers
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Team A just looks a disaster.

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

      B for me

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

        No, changed my mind - A is the flair choice

        1. JasonG123
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Owning Sturridge would be alot of fun.

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

            I have him on the WC - I certainly wouldn't want Hutton, Naughton or Boyd so A although with obvious risks

    4. JasonG123
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Sorry should be Giroud instead of Walcott in the second one.

      1. Sharkytect
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Still B

    5. ILOVEBAPS
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      B.

      1. JasonG123
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Same answer if it's Giroud instead of Walcott in the second one?

    6. Game of Stones
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      B.
      Could you not downgrade Naughton to PVA/Haidara and upgrade Hutton to Bellerin?

      1. JasonG123
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        B would give me Walcott, Giroud and Cazorla so no Bellerin.

    7. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      B

  3. FantaCity

    Morning
    Last decision of the WC - slept on it, still can't decide;
    I have Foster in goal plus Myhill and 1.3m ITB

    - Keep it and have some cash aside, or
    - Upgrade Myhill to Begovic

    Thanks

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

      I've gone Foster / Krul

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

        Begovic good games mesh much better than Krul, I think he would be worth the .5m more

    2. Ayling Buyers Club
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Wouldn't get Begovic.

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

        Why?

    3. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Keep it or consider Panti.

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

        Yep, I had Pants for ages, but in the end I wanted PVA and don't want a double up. Cheers

    4. Caine & Co.
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      panti mannone way to go

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

        As I say, I had that combo for most of the week. Thing is I wanted the most nailed on options in both W Brom and Sunderland. I'm no longer sure Wisdom is nailed, whereas PVA is, plus the Foster/Myhill + PVA combo is cheaper than Pants/Mannone + Wisdom.
        It could all go wrong . . .

        1. Caine & Co.
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          personally i dont care about combos, only individuals. panti better than foster imo. panti, pva is an option

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

            Too many Sunderland eggs in one fantasy basket 😉

    thoughts on my WC team

    Krul Elliot
    Zouma Bellerin Wisdom PvA Clyne
    Sanchez Hazard Silva Sterling Shelvey
    Giroud Aguero Kane

    If Zouma or Bellend doesnt work out I can go for Wolschied at Stoke
    Need to spend the extra on Shelvey over say an Ameobi as he might play the next 2 matches

    1. Twelve years a slave
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Krul Elliot 🙂 not seem
      N that for a few months

  5. Ayling Buyers Club
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Krul - Panti
    Terry - Zouma - Bellerín - Wisdom - PVA
    Hazard - Silva - Özil - Cazorla - Ameobi
    Agüero - Austin - Kane

    Too template?
    Keep Austin? Don't really see any alternatives, and will lose 0.4.

    1. Game of Stones
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Giroud would be the obvious option for Austin.
      Looks good though, you'll struggle in the blank GW27 unless you have something planned for that.

      1. Ayling Buyers Club
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Got 3.2 ITB, so looking at Sánchez in somewhere, and probably Terry + another player out.

  6. Barry Woj
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Anyone not captaining Aguero?

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      considering Hazard highly. But then safer to go Aguero.

      1. Barry Woj
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Ha yeah that's it. Could be a great week to gain some ground if Aguero doesn't quite deliver...

  7. super zlatan
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    So Sanchez > silva?

    No brainer?

    Already have hazard. Cazorla. Adm

    1. Game of Stones
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Seem like a no brainer on here.
      Not doing it myself though.

      1. super zlatan
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        How come?

        1. Game of Stones
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          I have already used my 2FT this week, so not keen on selling the best player in the league for a hit even though he's injured. I bought him at 10.5 as well, and to get him back would just lose me a lot of money. I know I would want him in my team again as soon as he's back, which could be against Leicester. I have also a decent cover for him this week.
          Would've considered it if I had a FT left, but would've most likely kept him.

          1. super zlatan
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Fair enough reasoning.
            If I kept Sanchez it means wisdom would come off the bench which isn't a bad sub.

            But silva could get a nice haul this week.

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

        Yes How come?

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

      Morning. I'm probably doing that move for a hit, so yes.

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

      For this one week alone it has to be worth a punt

    4. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Yep

  8. Judas

    Quick fire morning Captain Poll:

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      65% not enough?

    2. Game of Stones
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Has to be Aguero, although recent form hasn't convinced me to think that he'll get a haul, but a goal is expected.

      1. super zlatan
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Hazard for the differential.

        If aguero blanks it could see you get a huge green arrow.

        That being said, I'm still going aguero.

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

          LOL

      2. #Swish41
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        This. Just too risky not to captain him!

  9. Chinu
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Keep Chadli or ship him out for someone for a hit?

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

      What's your bench like? He may have lost his place with dembele in form

      1. Chinu
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Boyd and Hutton on bench.

  10. #Swish41
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Lost on last page - Just about there on WC team:

    Krul (Foster)
    Terry PVA N.Taylor (Wollsheid Hutton)
    Hazard Cazorla Di Maria Silva (Walters)
    Giroud Kane Aguero

    Template but solid? 1.2m itb for Silva or Di Maria > Sanchez or Walcott for LEI game

    1. Is Naughton nailed? - would prefer to the more expensive Taylor
    2. Hutton > ??? Collochini perhaps

    Any other thoughts? Thanks in advance

  11. The 12th Man
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Any changes needed here? 1 FT 1.4 itb

    Forster
    Ivanovic, Terry, PVA, Bellerin
    Hazard, Di Maria, Silva
    Aguero(c) Kane Austin

    4.0m, Boyd, Baird, Sanchez

    1. super zlatan
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Nice team.

      You comfortable holding onto Sanchez?

      1. The 12th Man
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Not comfortable at all.
        I had considered 2 options for -4.
        Sanchez + Boyd > Coutihino + Cazorla
        Or
        Sanchez + Austin >Couthinio or Cazorla + Giroud.
        But with the team sheets out on Tuesday before the deadline I'm thinking its worth keeping him and shipping if he is not in the team.

        Allowing me 2 FT for Tuesday

        1. super zlatan
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Yeah that's fair enough. Your starting 11 is still very strong and could bring home the bacon for you.

          I'm personally doing Sanchez > silva but I'm not as sensible.

          GL this gw pal

          1. The 12th Man

    Why is Tadic in the Scout Picks?

    1. Billy Gilmore
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      He's not.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      He is due 23 points.

      Lol

  13. Who Ate All Depays?
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Any changes you'd consider for this team?

    Krul
    Fonte / Clyne / PVA
    Haz / Silva / ADM / Chadli
    Giroud / Kane / Kun
    (Pants / Wisdom / Wasi / Marney)

    0 FT & 4.4m itb

    1. Daniel Exeter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Looks decent - stick.

      1. Who Ate All Depays?
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        you reckon Chadli will start?
        Unsure whether to stick with him or ship him out for Oscar or Caz

  14. MMN
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Pick one to play

    A) Jones (whu)

    B) Bellerin (tot)

    C) Wollscheid (new)

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

      A

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

        Thanks, that's who I'm on atm but thinking about possible Bellerin attacking returns

  15. OzilFozzil
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Is Giroud, Silva, Bellerin worth a (-4)

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Depends who you sell.

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

        Hey TorresMagic,

        Would be selling Bertrand, Sanchez, and Austin...

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Looks ok depending on your bench this week.

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

            Bench is shyte

              • Has Moderation Rights
              • 16 Years
              11 years, 1 month ago

              Fair enough. May need to sort that by GW27.

    2. Jafalad

      Definitely not. Torres Magic runs it and deliberately sabotaged my team when I last took part 😡

    Kun. Austin. Kane

    Subs. Hamer. Boyd. Wisdom. Hutton

      Looking pretty freakin' solid mate.

      1. super zlatan

        Cheers pal. Hoping it rolls in the points.

    2. Daniel Exeter

      Decent mate

    3. The 12th Man

      Nice, are you looking to ship Austin?

      1. super zlatan
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Shipping Austin next week for giroud.

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

      Your bench have terrible fixtures, with the exception of Wisdom (if he plays), but I guess that's not a high priority

      1. super zlatan
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers. It's not my WC team though. As long as I have playing subs I'm fairly happy.

        Would you double up on West brom with foster and wisdom this week or play PvA ?

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

          Yes, I realised it wasn't your WC team. Not a fan of doubling up, so PVA

    5. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years

      gtg. Consider doubling up WBA

    Anyone else with this quandry:

    Have Giroud and Cazorla. Would like Bellerin, BUT would also potentially want Sanchez in (or Walcott) for the LEI game?

    If so, what are you doing? No Bellerin?

      No need for him this week I can see Spurs scoring

    I have Bertrand, Fab and Sanchez. Wisdom will play instead of Bertie.

    Other reserves are Cissokho and Barnes.
    Should I ship out anyone and for whom. I am already on -4. 🙁

      Stick

    WC

    Foster
    Azpi, Clyne, Bellerin
    Silva, Hazard, Cazorla, Walcot
    Aguero, Austin, Kane

    (McCarthy, JWP, PVA, Alderweireld)

    2.6 ITB to get Sanchez back if I wish

    Any thoughts?

    1. super zlatan

      I like it. Walcott differential is groovy.

      Personally if I was on a WC I would be shipping Austin. I would probably want Defoe instead.

      But it's solid all round.

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 13 Years

      Walcott -> Ozil

    For those of us in the furniture trade, there is something really satisfying about the phrase 'PVA is nailed' 🙂

    1. Man Chest Hair United

      Haha agreed

      Blimey. That sounds beyond ghastly, to me! 🙂

  24. Man Chest Hair United

    I'm in a tricky situation fallen from 700 to 5000 in the last month.

    Team is

    Pants

    Terry Moreno wisdom

    Silva hazard ADM Boyd

    Aguero Kane Pelle

    Sanchez Bertrand wasi.

    Anything worth a minus 4. Bleeding coin on Sanchez but if I sell it would cost me .5 more to get back.

    Thoughts please gents

    Top points scorer this week out of these 3?

  26. Jafalad
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    It really bugs me why people put their faith in ADM and Gru. Serial time wasters and just not heavy enough for our teams. Boot asap. 😡

      The WBA triple up in defence is the only way up.

        Jeez...twice in one week. 😯

      I'm always really pleased when ML rivals have even crappier players than me. 🙂

      Then they still win. 🙁

    With Alexis out who's better to start:

    Boyd or Cresswell?

    Downing is already in. Ty!

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

      Cresswell

      1. JMason57
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Ty. Surprised though

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

          Just seems like he can get you more points than Boyd

          1. JMason57
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 1 month ago

            Maybe you're right. I also have ADM so Boydy might just sneak it.
