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.

    The gerrard world class debate reminded me of this article. Carrager said on MNF last month he rates Gerrard higher than Scholes. But look at all the top players who consider Scholes to be the best midfielder of his time. Not sure many will say the same for Gerrard.

      I think a lot of the discussion and arguments come from people comparing the 2.

      Scholes is a generation (in football terms) older than Gerrard, he was playing in a Premiership winning team in the mid 90's. A lot of football fans don't seem to remember him as a free scoring attacking midfielder, more as the reserved deep lying player just before he retired. Younger fans in particular.

      Wouldn't say either was the best midfielder of their time. Don't really like or see the point of these debates though - always ends up with 2 sides, each aligning themselves to the player who plays for the club they prefer.

          I agree regarding Zidane. I don't think you have to let the opinions of the pros effect your own though. Although I would come to the conclusion that Scholes was exceptional from my own observations.

            I think praise from your contemporaries is amongst the highest form of praise though. They play the game day in day out and actually experience first hand how difficult it is to play against the top players. I take their opinions very seriously. Not the be all and end all though.

    Toure-Walker-Clyne (Ivanovic, Williams)
    Michu-Ramsey-HBA-Barkley (Brady)
    Sturridge(C)- Benteke- Agüero/Rooney

    I will do -12 to get this team(preperation for next 4-5 weeks). I could do this because I know that this guy will not change anything in his team. Do you guys think I will win him although -12 points for me? And also Agüero or Rooney for next 4-5 weeks?

        By the way if ethics are being discussed then surely you must be looking at how the Bangladeshi workers wages who supply many of our budget clothes superstores compare to professional footballers wagers in this country.

        And when the deaths of people that work in these sweatshops when there poorly built concrete graves come down on them. Then ethics and economy should be what you are looking for.

      Ozil. Liverpool have struggled with WBA in their last few meetings, and they've rumbled United and Arsenal already this season.

      Morrison. Guaranteed to start at least.

      januzaj looks nailed as a result of missing Europe midweek, so is a clear winner with the better fixt.

      Suarez, because I've a feeling Ozil won't get 90
      Januzaj, cos you got him for 2 games, this is his second and he'll most likely start, then he becomes iffy, imo

        That is my thinking on both issues tbh, you'd always back Suarez to score atm, even if Liverpool cock up and lose he's a goal threat.
        Personally I think Ozil will definitely start, but obviously he may not finish the game

        I did get Januzaj for the Southampton and Stoke games, so I guess I have to play him, he was never a long term pick. But playing Januzaj over Morrsion last week backfired after Ravel came up with another assist

      That is a REALLY good rank, perfectly balanced. No holes.

      Well done.

      I'm over a million as well and just took a -16 last night. I highly encourage it.

        Hey TM, I WCed last week and got 35!
        No point hit for me this week as I have to have faith that (most) of my squad was picked using some sort of nous.
        Good luck this GW

          I remember my WC...the fourth of seven consecutive weeks in the 40s!

          Good luck to you as well, RCA. Sometimes no moves are the best of all.

          Wow, that's some wildcard, unlucky

          Mine paid off with a green arrow fortunately

          Mata C was unfortunate, as was the 4 points from your 3 expensive defenders, but I guess you can't win them all

          Good luck this week

    Who to play?: Terry (MCI), Coleman (avl), M Turner (CAR).

    Currently playing Coleman but I can't decide. I have Chico and Clyne starting too.

      While Turner has the nicest fixture, Norwich haven't been very solid recently

      Terry has the best goal threat I guess, I'd go for him

      I'm benching Terry and Coleman myself though
