Tempted into dealing our Wildcards by yet another “mediocre” Gameweek, Granville and I go through almost the entire episode before Jonty reveals he’s weakened and gone “active”. It’s a revelation that almost has us both logging off and reaching for our own panic buttons.

Before that dramatic finale, we find salvation via another bout of “rough the smooth”, cheering ourselves with tales of Gameweek totals which dip below even our miserable tallies.

We also take a further round of community questions, forcing me to “fess up” on Theo Walcott, while Granville laments Wayne Rooney’s form and the three of us tackle the merits of Mahrez, Ozil and loading up on City assets.

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

    BREAKING NEWS

    Tottenham defender Federico Fazio is at West Brom for a medical.

    The clubs are understood to have agreed a fee of around £5m for the Argentine.

    1. Nabs Kebabs

      R.I.P my lescott pick

      1. Yome
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Lescott off to Villa

        1. Nabs Kebabs
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          odd stuff, both Fazio and Lescott downgrading themselves...

    2. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Good signing for them

    3. Nickofoz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      He's shite. Odd signing from pulis

      1. Yome
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        He didn't play much last year, we should see more of him at WBA. We will see if he is that shite

    4. Admiral Stark
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      A good deal for everyone involved

  3. Doolittle
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 4 months ago

    Though I've heard a lot about him I've only seen Yarmolenko play a handful of times, does anyone have more insight into him? Still won't be comfortable until we sign a defender or two...

    1. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 4 months ago

      I am in the same boat Doolittle. Good reputation who predominantly plays wide but can fill the no 10 position.
      If Stones goes we have cash we won't spend knowing Bill. 40 mil though, if we get it would be the proof the EPL has lost its head completely.

      1. Doolittle
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        He absolutely destroyed us in Europe, but I've only seen him play a couple of times other than that. Looked great when I've seen him though. He'll need to score about 50 goals to compensate for our defence if Stones leaves.

        1. Eze Really?
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          I agree. But I trust there is a plan in place if Stones goes. I just hope it is not the South American boy only.

        2. Eze Really?
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          I heard Dante from Bayern is on the cards too.

  4. Jay_
      10 years, 4 months ago

      Think I can get away with this defence ? I love my mid it gives me

      Mccarthy Butland

        2. Yome
          • 14 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          I refuse to answer because you put his holiness in there.

        i got no Chelsea cover ? Should downgrade any MID and go with any Chelsea MID ?

        Current MID

        Sanchez - Silva - Westwood - Mahrez - Payet

        1. 1zverGGademN
          • 10 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          don't worry about the cover. Just buy in-form players 😉

          1. Paanmonkey
            • 11 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            thanks bud

      12. dmhomag
        • 11 Years

        Any risk of Otam + Mangy keeping Kompany on the bench?

        1. Caesar, Hot Mustache
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

      14. 1zverGGademN
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Any Newcastle fans around? Is Papis nailed on longterm? Really tempted to take him next week instead of Berahino(vs CHE)

        1. dmhomag
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Think Austin won't go to NEW.

          However MacLaren plays single striker and sooner or later Mitrovic will start ahead of Cisse.

      15. Lallana_
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        1) Ayew, Sakho, Kane
        2) Gomis, Yaya Toure, Chadli

        Which one would you go with?

        1. NABIL - FPL otai

        Thoughts on the following will be appreciated...

        Myhill - ruddy
        Francis - muiniesa - Cedric - Kompany - gomes
        Sanchez - toure - depay - mahrez - Westwood
        Gomis - aguero - pelle

        A. Stick
        B. Pelle Gomes -> sahko Cresswell/ smalling
        C. Pelle Gomes -> diouf Cresswell/smalling
        D. Pelle Westwood -> igahlo payet
        E. Other
        Really struggling to decide. Too many options and possibilities. Thanks

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Toure to Coutinho..

        • 13 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        How's this then, WCT.

        Butland, McCarthy
        Kolarov, Cedric, richards, Gomez, Francis
        Sanchez, depay, yaya, mane, Westwood
        Aguero, gomis, sakho

        Thoughts appreciated

        1. Ted Maw
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Wouldn't want Cedric at all. Francis may drop tonight (I want him but don't wont to lose money)

          Mane may also drop.

          It's a good team but just be careful about when you make the transfers

          Diouf over Sakho

          1. n-doggg
            • 13 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            Thanks. WC active so will be bringing in those players Saturday hopefully after they drop.

            Why not Cedric? Williams instead?

      22. Ted Maw
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        A) Gomis and Targett

        B) Diouf and 4.5?

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Rest of defence?

          1. Ted Maw
            • 12 Years
            10 years, 4 months ago

            Kompany, Gomez, Richards and Muniesa

            1. Rupert The Horse
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              10 years, 4 months ago

              It will need to be B then.

        2. Moin
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          B

        3. n-doggg
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          Probably be, just. You have swan cover elsewhere though? Can you find the 0.5 in midfield?

        What are Your thoughts on Leicester - Tottenham? Almost considering to play both Mahres and Albrighton.. Spurs' defensive stats have started similar like last season..

      24. Sergeant Garcia
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Morning!

        A: Targett - Hoolahan - Diouf (3-4-3)
        B: Ward - Mahrez - Jerome (3-5-2, with Aguero & Benteke)

      25. Lallana_
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 4 months ago

        Not getting Joe Gomez because the next three fixtures are hard for Liverpool so it's unlikely he'll keep many cleansheets and you'll never know if Moreno will get his place back in the meantime.

        1. Billy Gilmore
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 4 months ago

          I'm keeping him for the ££££ and leaving him firmly on the bench

            Fair enough. A great money maker.

          Three of the next five are good home fixtures. Very good.

        If Benzema was to join Arsenal. Would you do:

        A. Sanchez + Benzema + MID
        B. Sanchez + Benzema
        C. Only Sanchez
        D. Only Benzema
        E. Sanchez + MID
        F. Benzema + MID

        Defenders not relative...

          B if Benzema was less than 10.5. Would be hard to go any higher

          I have Ozil, Mertesacker and Sanchez currently, but I'd probably WC and go Sanchez and Benzema.
