And so it goes on. With Granville bemoaning a “reasonable” 58-point Gameweek, I slip further into the mire as my team of differentials, mis-placed punts and failed opportunities continue on their relentless decline.

Slowly but surely the roles are being reversed in our weekly chat – as I recall my latest errant transfer and Granville struggles to curb his smugness: he even talks about himself in the third person.

As I desperately clutch at straws and roll out some positive thinking, my co-host halts his stream of advice to analyse the week’s rolling bandwagons and preview the weekend fixtures, whilst discussing the crunchy topics.

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

      I think I might have got taken in by the enthusiasm for him on here given the fixtures when, in truth, he was poor the second half of last season.

    I think many of us are gonna have this problem; who is the safest (C) pick from Arsenal? Giroud, Ozil, Ramsey? Or is Suarez the safest pick?

    Looking at the PL table, Crystal Palace have conceded the second most amount of goals with 17; West Brom however have only conceded 6, in which Arsenal (C) makes sense to me.

    So who is the safest pick from Arsenal?

    Fonte & Lovren:
    1--who will score more pts going forward? (yes both are very close in performance)
    (i already have lovren and clyne, im just curious to this)
    2--if u had to pik up a def player last week, would you have chosen Lovren or Fonte? (yes Lovren probably will rise 3 pts this gw, already 2 as of today and fonte rose 1pt ) (for my 2nd team i picked up Fonte over Lovrenjust because cheaper, but i was aware Lovren would have risen more this week than Fonte)

        Really no love for Yaya, 4 goals in 8 games, he's one of the guys I'm most afraid of not having.

        Might be right about Vert. It just got me to an even 0 by putting him in, might go johnson.

        De Guzman is proabably my lead bench option but not sure why there's no love for him? He's only 5.7, had a good points total last season and is only just coming back into the team properly now.

        Johnson is a good idea
