    i think mark and granville should manage their joint fpl side as an article not as a 20 second jobby late in the scoutcast... and the scoutcast is getting quite long

    would also like to see the scout picks given a total score each week after the games have been played... they could easily have a dummy side where they just make all the xfers they want...

      They would need to take a lot of hits unless they stuck to the same core players. Not being able to double up in the same position is a big hump to overcome.

              Think it's the lack of pressure on the opposition players when we lose the ball. The bigger teams punish us a lot more.

            It's simply because when their defence does go wrong, it goes wrong in style.

            Maybe I expected too much from them, they have been fairly reliable against smaller teams.

      It's business end of the season. Most teams are fairly template. To be honest. What with the DGW, it's hard not to have pretty much the same teams. 3 city, 3 Everton, Suarez, Sturridge and Hazard and usually Mannone. That's 10 players right there.

    Evening all,

    Article makes it pretty clear that Gerrards chances are only coming from pens and free kicks, granted he is good at both though so obv a good option, perhaps time to move him to Silva with a chance of less minutes this week though?

    Also, who would you prefer to play this week, Snod or Lallana?

      I don't believe the game will change for Gerrard. Suarez and Sterling will still make runs into the box, ready to fall over if need be. LFC on a charge, want to smash-n-grab the title, and they believe they can do it.

      There is only 1 thing in the way of Stevie leading the way: he's on 9 yellows.

      I say the sooner he gets booked, the better. For the title hopes, and for FPL.

      Definitely better than Fernandinho. He gets max 2 chances in the game and both are from out of the box, which he shoots like he wants to send the ball where Ramos sent it with that penalty last year. Now i know Fernandinho and YYT both look same, but YYT's skill out of the box in taking shots is way better.
