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.

    A few people asking about Alderweireld.......

    Southampton FC @SouthamptonFC
    Koeman says @AlderweireldTob needs one more week and believes he will be back for @LFC. #saintsfc
    (https://twitter.com/SouthamptonFC/status/563338921854390273)

    Alderweireld misses at least the next two GWs.

      Damn.

      Cheers for the update man....luckily had planned for him not being back til 26.

      Another problem to deal with. 🙁

      hulk it

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

    Is it worth doing a -4 to get Boyd out for Colback as a nice differential?

    Foster
    Terry - P.Jones - PVA
    Hazard - ADM - Chadli - BOYD/COLBACK/ROSICKY?
    Kane - Aguero - Falcao

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

      Colback won't outscore him by 4+

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

        yeah that's a good point I guess

    2. DonTheSpecialOne

      No

    “Victor Wanyama is now coming back, Morgan Schneiderlin is coming back, but still one or two more weeks for Toby Alderweireld"

    Missed this from Ronald earlier. That's disappointing. Looks like it's LIV at home (earliest) for Toby then...

    In honor of the NLD, Arsenal - Spurs combined XI:

    Szczesny
    Debuchy Per Koscielny Gibbs
    Coquelin Ramsey/Santi

    3. Jimbo123
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Lloris over our Chesney, but otherwise I'm with you 🙂

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

        I feel bad for Lloris every time...

      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      🙄

      Lloris
      Debuchy Fazio Koscienly Gibbs
      Dembele Ramsey
      Walcott Eriksen Alexis
      Kane

      Very much imo.

      1. Black Knights

        Fabio? Where has that come from?!

        1. Black Knights
          • 14 Years

          *Faz. Autocorrect.

          • 12 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          Fazio. Watching Spurs.

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

        Eriksen's not getting in there with Ozil and Santi around.

    4. No Luck
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I'd have Ox ahead of Walcott myself but yeah looks about right 😉

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

      Oh dear. Here's a neutral version:

      Lloris
      Walker Koscielny Vertonghen Monreal
      Ramsey Coquelin
      Walcott Eriksen Ozil
      Kane

      Currently fit players only.

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        How can Cazorla not be in there?

        Eriksen has scored great goals from set pieces, but from open play he hasn't been standout.

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

    Cazorla Oscar or Silva ?

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

      Silva

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

      go go oscar

  5. bennyp
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Chadli & Sanchez -> Wally & Sterling for free? Have Aguero hence why no Silva.

  6. No Luck
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    How many times has Sanchez dropped this week and how many times can a player drop a week. Is it 3?

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

      2. Yes.

      1. No Luck
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Thanks guys!

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

      0.3 yes

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

    Sanchez to Silva for a hit or play Walters/PvA/Wisdom ?

    Would want sanchez back when fit and have Clichy and Aguero from city already

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

      Play PVA

    2. Stimps
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I'm getting silva for a hit and keeping him. Man city's home fixtures look tasty. Have a plan to get sanchez back anyway

    3. DonTheSpecialOne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Don't do it. Play One of The three

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

    Ok, let's have it.. Who ya got? 🙂

    Sanchez
    Walcott
    Ozil
    Cazorla

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

      Theeeo Theeeo Theeeo

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

      Sanchez and now Ozil too!

    3. DonTheSpecialOne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Alexis and Caz. On WC, think I might drop Sanchez for Silva and save cash ITB to swap em later.

    4. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Sancazil.

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

      Walcott + Caz. Yourself?

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

        Just Wally. Sold Cazorla for Silva, only got him last week 😡 so more money lost

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

          Let's hope that pays off then 😛

    6. The Mighty I
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Caz at the minute but will look to get Walcott if he's played further forward and getting consistent minutes. Also have Giroud.

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

      Currently on Sanchez, Bellerin, Giroud.

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

      Alexis Cazorla.

    9. Dušan Citizen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Walcott..and Giroud

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

    Walcott or Cazorla or Silva, pick 2?

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

      Walcott and Silva

    2. Jimbo123
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Silva and the rest is up to you

  10. Fader
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Out Falcao + Boyd

    In Silva + Defoe

    yay? na?

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

    @Champ

    I'm selling Sanchez, it's the stage of the season now where points > value. Undecided between Silva and Sterling (or maybe even Cazorla?). If I get Sterling then I can afford to get Sanchez and Giroud in for Wally and Austin next week, if Sanchez starts of course. Undecided atm.

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

      If you're looking to get Sanchez back next week... It's really only a one week punt. And, for me, Silva is a no brainer in that category.

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

        I'll only get him back if he's starting against Lei and Walcott is on the bench. No guarantees.

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

          It's not points over value really though. Many people don't want to sell because they'll want him back next week and wont be able to afford it

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

            I understand that, but personally I can afford him back so I'm not too fussed about selling. He'll continue to drop in price and there's no guarantee that he'd even be back for the Leicester match.

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

      nice thinking i think

      if you still had your original WC would you think about keeping Sanchez, rather than spending 0.4m to sell and buy back?

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

        I have an I'm not. Tempting though.

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

        Nah I think I'd sell tbh. As I said, points > value 🙂

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

    Draft game - are there any good new signings apart from Cuadrado? Thanks

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Nope. 🙁

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

        Thought so! What about Gabriel? Any chance he gets a place or is he cover?

        1. Wilshere Knowledge
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          He's cover.

          He might get his chance if Mertz plays really bad, but it's very unlikely.

          His lack of English is also currently a problem. Communication being so important defensively.

  13. tbhogal
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Need some advice guys who I do transfer in? Please help!

    Krul (Heaton)
    Terry, PVA, Wasilescwki (Wisdon, Bertrand)
    Hazard, Di Maria, Puncheon, Sanchez (Boyd)
    Aguero (c), Giroud, Kane

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

      Cuadrado

  14. Jönny
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    I've got two frees this week...

    Foster/Myhill
    Baines Clyne Trippier (Moreno Baird)
    Sanchez Hazard Chadli Sterling (Boyd)
    Rooney Kane Aguero

    Do I switch out Sanchez?
    Do I bench him and upgrade Boyd, by swapping Rooney for Giroud?

    Any ideas, oh sages of FFS?

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      I'd sell Rooney.

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

        He's gotta go, hasn't he...

        1. Wilshere Knowledge
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 1 month ago

          I'd say so.

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

    Which option?

    Krul
    Terry, Kosc, Clyne
    Sanchez, Hazard, ADM, Cazorla
    Aguero (C), Ings, Kane

    Panti, Boyd, Baird, Cameron

    A) Sanchez > Silva
    B) Cameron > Naughton

    Anyone seen this video of Coutinho playing futsal back in 2005? so good!

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oBfQoyZ0mtQ#t=116

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

      Pretty good

      You ever seen Joga Bonito?

  17. Sting
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Sanchez owners, are you all selling?

    and for who?

    A) Cazorla

    B) Silva

    C) Other

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Nope. 🙂

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

        Could easily miss the Leicester game too

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

      Yes. B, I think. Points > Value.

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

        This!

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

        I agree that points are more important. But Sanchez is such a good source of points, I don't think we should price ourselves out of being able to get him back in. Fine if you can afford it though

  18. Plymouth
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Can anyone provide me with the link for the goalkeeper rotation article?

  19. Back on the horse
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    WC draft 1.

    Foster Pantilimon
    Clichy Zouma van Aanholt Ivanovic Wisdom
    Silva Walcott Hazard Cazorla Colback
    Giroud Kane Agüero
    1.1

    I obv don't have enough itb to get Snachez back, is that a problem?

    Any suggestions for improvement? cheers

    1. Jimbo123
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 1 month ago

      Not convinced by Zouma/Clichy......would swap one as both at risk of rotation.

      excellent otherwise.

      1. Back on the horse
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 1 month ago

        Cheers. It's a punt but I'm happy with either of the benchers coming in over the next few weeks.

        If Zouma is a problem/cameos then I will ship him, but he is the big risk.

        Clichy seems to have the LB for prem league games

  20. Judas
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 1 month ago

    Play it safe, hope sterling outscores puncheon by 4 points or get a differential? Currently sat 3rd out of 23 in my league, OR 21k.

    A: Sanchez ---> Cazorla
    B: Sanchez + Puncheon ---> Cazorla + Sterling (-4hit)
    C: Sanchez ---> Sterling (hope giroud is enough ARS cover)

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

    Team ready. G2G?

    Foster

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

      already sold on Sanchez -> Silva on my FT

      We're assuming he's going to start, but not entirely sure what that's based on.

      Any Spurs fans about?

  24. ratski

    Think I'm settled
    Foster, myhill

          although, as a WBA fan, Baird is pretty much a non starter now I think.

          Also do you have a route for getting Sanchez back in if needed?

            Yea got enough dollar to get him back in but think he might be out for two more games. Or even on the bench for the second game.
