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.

    Silva nailed in CAM position when Bony returns?

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

      There wont be such a Position

      1. Takedog1
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Could be if it's a 4-1-2-1-2

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

          Has pell ever played that formation? ?? Why would he now

    2. Ninjaa
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Bony to take a similar position to dzeko and jovetic..... bench warmer!

      1. World XI
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        also works 🙂 though i think he will be a starter.

    3. Professor Abel X
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Seem keen on Fernando and Fernandinho playing together so maybe 4-2-2-2

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

      Nailed on, but likely drifting in from the left again.

  2. Dr. Agabuse
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    So Alderweireld and Sturridge..will they Start?
    Whats the latest news?

    Shoot!

    1. Ser Football 42
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      This GW
      No.
      Maybe

    2. Shoot
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Yes?

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

        Well Shoot, will they start?

  3. Steve McCroskey
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Krul/Foster

    Bellerin/PVA/Terry/Clyne/Naughton

    Silva/Cazorla/Hazard/Puncheon/XXXX

    Aguero/Kane/Defoe

    Fill in the blank midfielder. Money not an issue as I have have enough to get Alexis back if needed.

    thanks

    1. Matsy123
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Walcott?

  4. Cocky Spaniel Alves
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    On a WC and struggling to spend the 2,7M burning a hole in my pocket. Any ideas lads?

    Krul Panti
    Terry Fonte Bellerin PvA Wisdom
    Hazard Santi Silva Sterling
    Kun Giroud Kane

    1. Cocky Spaniel Alves
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      The fifth mid is currently Cork...

      1. Cocky Spaniel Alves
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Could obviously upgrade him to Walters but I'd still have an extra 1,8.

    2. Jar Jar Dinks
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      DDG?

      Feels forced.

      1. Cocky Spaniel Alves
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Yeah. Thinking more about ditching the rotation and downgrading one of the 2 I currently have.

    3. Ruth_NZ
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Save it for Giroud to Costa

    4. Dr. Agabuse
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Same problem. I got Sturridge over Giroud then. But you'll need Sanchez back

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

    Is Wisdom nailed on?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      No IMO. other will say different

    2. Poseidon. Not arrogant, jus…
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Was recently boo'd off for us. But it's Pulis' opinion that counts.

    3. Ed
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Ok cheers

  6. My name is an echo
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    I see there is doubt about Chadl starting. Lost his place or another reason? Cheers

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Well there has always some rotation risk but he has not started since his father sadly died even though he was back last week but only came on as a late sub. Personally I think he will start

  7. FPL Daniel
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Repost
    \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...

    Please fill in the blank in my WC team

    Krul Begovic

    Bellerin Terry Clyne Naughton PVA

    Cazorla Hazard Silva Moses xxxxxxxx

    Aguero Giroud Defoe

    7.7m in bank

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    1. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Sterling. Downgrade Moses to afford it.

  10. President John F. Keninnsie
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    So tempted to captain Walcott again 😀

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Do you think he is in that phase? I love the lad. Might captain him against Lei. isn't too early?

      1. President John F. Keninnsie
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        He's right up there with my favourite FPL players to own. If he starts against Leicester and Sanchez is still out then I'd captain him for sure.

        1. FPL Daniel
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          I might do that too

        2. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Of course 🙂

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years

      Not this week (I did it last week) The diff is enough

  11. FPL FREAK
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Is it still good decision to keep sanchez....?? Coz if i transfer him out than it is not possible for me to get him back... Coz his price in my team is 11.2 and in market 11.5...

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

      His price will drop.

      1. FPL FREAK
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Not 0.4 till we need him i guess....

        1. Epic Fail

    2. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Forget about price he doesnt score you any points injured so whats the point?

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

    A. play Boyd (WBA)
    B. Sanchez ➡ Silva (-4)
    C. Sanchez ➡ Cazorla (-4)

    ??

    1. Connor's Calling
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      A or B. would be interested in others' views

      1. Patio Kev
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        B for me, think the Caz ship will have sailed now Ozil back.

  13. NULL-X-VOID
    • 12 Years

    Hey guys!!!!!
    Is Yoshida nailed on?? this week??

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

      yup

      1. NULL-X-VOID
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks!!!

      2. FPL Daniel
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        listen do Demi. He knows his sh*t. Not like the other lad with the same grav 🙁

  14. Connor's Calling
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    a) Chadli -> Silva. Boydinho to play. $ for AlderW next week

    b) Sanchez -> Silva. Chadli to play. Lose 0.5m on Sanchez [but can still afford Chaldi -> Sanchez on Tues if he's fit]

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

      same problem here and I decided to go with B

    2. Keyser Jose
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I'm in the same boat! I'm leaning towards keeping Sanchez but knowing my luck Chadli will score if I sell

      1. Connor's Calling
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks both. B seems the more sensible call; but starting role of Chadli a little in doubt maybe.

        leaning towards A myself at the moment.

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

    I find it interesting on that hot topic that people think Rooney will be changed to a midfielder in FPL next season...

    Michu spent the majority of the season playing centre forward for Swansea, but remained a midfielder, because that's his 'position'.

    Not many people would describe Sanchez as a midfielder, either, but I doubt they'll change their minds on that, nor on Rooney, because 'he's a striker'.

    1. Patio Kev
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Plus Rooney is nailed on as England's number one striker, Roy definitely won't misuse him in midfield.

      1. Professor Abel X
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        The difference is England don't have Falcao and RVP

        1. Long Juan Silva
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          I'd prefer Kane and Sturridge over those 2 tbh

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

            I'd prefer Sturridge on the bench at best.

            Kane
            Sterling Rooney Walcott
            Wilshere Henderson
            Baines Stones Jones Clyne
            Forster

    2. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Rooney wont be categorised on FPL as a midfielder next year, anyone that says otherwise is an idiot and debating such is a complete waste of time.

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

        This.

  16. Patio Kev
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    On a Wildcard, it it worth doing Naylor (SP £4.6m) to Naughton (£4.3m) do we think ?

    1. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

      1. Patio Kev
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks, think Naylor was my last original from the season start, am having trouble letting go but I think you are right.

  17. Nerazzuro
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    What would u do with the below team? 1FT. 0ITB

    Forster
    Terry - Clyne - Kos
    Sanchez - Chadli - Di Maria - Hazard
    Aguero - Ings - Kane

    Bench: Boyd - Wisdom - Dummett

    Could do Sanchez to Silva OR Sanchez to Cazorla and then next week Ings to Giroud/Bony

  18. davies
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Ditch Sanchez or fix my bench with my FT? (Cameron/Baird)

    1. BIG TONES
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Bought Sanchez for high value > ditch
      Bought Sanchez for low value > keep

  19. BIG TONES
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Play PVA or Boyd? (Now that Sanchez is out)

  20. NULL-X-VOID
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    I know its kinda idiotic but would it be better to play yoshida instead of clichy this week ,,,,,the other def are pva and o'shea(sun double)

    1. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I reckon Kolarov starts this week

  21. Takedog1
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Is alderweireld good for a wc even tho he might not make it this gw?

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

      depends on the rest of your back line

      1. Takedog1
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Forster
        Wisdom Ivan pva bellerin

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

      Think I might go with him. No problem is he doesn't play next week, as a few defenders have some good fixtures - like PVA, Bellerin, Wisdom

      1. So Klose
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Bellerin has a good fixture? O.o

        1. Takedog1

    If I could only make FFS to be back like old ways and not known to wide public. The discussion back there was really awesome. Also the relationships between the lads in the community were really awesome and close. We could talk anything between each other really. I miss those days. Now a lot of haters here. It is nonsense really. You never know how someone can stab you, when you post 🙁 Miss the old FFS 🙁 🙁 🙁

      The only thing I don't like is the constant spoon feeding that goes on. Getting advice is fine, but ultimately use advice to help you make a decision, not having decisions made for you. Other than that it's brill.

    as a former drunken buffoon, i sympathise with daniel.
    don't worry fellow, tomorrow you will remember nothing and all will be as it ever was. unless you do something all-out cuckoo like propose to mark after challenging granville to a duel. for example.
