We return from the international break to find Granville totally smitten by Ravel Morrison. While that particular bro-mance takes me by surprise, the shock of my co-host agreeing with me twice on one ScoutCast is perhaps even more jarring.

I guess Granville can afford to be generous. With a 41-point gap between us, the Mancunian may still be laid up by an untimely knee-op but he’s sitting comfortably when it comes to our Fantasy rivalry.

In between sonnets dedicated West Ham’s troubled talent and jibes aimed at my struggling season, Granville joins me in rinsing through the current bandwagons, previewing the weekend and discussing topics such as Suarez’s lost bonus points. He also helps with the mispronunciation of Adnan Januzaj’s name on 72 occasions. We’re now praying he slips back into the reserves.

Witness Granville’s fatal attraction via this link or steam the suspect soppiness via the handy player below.

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

          I can do Kompany to Evra (because i think that Januzaj will free up the flank)...
          And Brady to Townsend (has Villa, HUL and NEW in next 4).

          Or Chico/Davies (riskier) and someone up t 6.9m...

          I thought about Michu (C) but Poyet will probably put a low block out there with Cattermol-Gardener in front of him..

          They are all decent cheap options. My only thing with Januzaj is how long Moyes will give hime if he has an off game or two, He has got much more competition for his starting spot than the others.

      Depends what you want from him.

      Guaranteed points every week? No.

      4th/5th midfielder who will chip in every now and then, while enabling some bigger dogs elsewhere? Perfect.

        Yeah I would find it hard to bench the other seven of my front eight irregardless of fixtures so he could do grand.

      Hard to say.. Actually remember watching him on a Sky game a while back and thought he was woeful. West Hams attack woudn't frighten a whole lot of teams, be interesting to see how he progress's. I just people in general are getting carried away to soon, has much to prove yet.

        He will probably be benched most weeks.

      It's bold. Lennon, Chadli, Siggy, Lamela, Townsend all competing for essentially 2 places

      Looks a good move. I've gone cheaper (Morrison) as I was seduced by the pile of cash to spend next week.

    Just set up my team for the weekend to find I have 10 men playing at home. Usually a good sign, but after an international week I'm slightly worried by this.

    Vorm;
    Coleman, Wilson, Evra;
    Barkley, Michu, Özil, Morrison;
    Suárez, Rooney, Giroud;

    Think I'll leave the captain decision until tomorrow.

        Couldn't resist. After all, he earned his spot putting me through the mill at WHL last week.
