A new beginning. On the eve of a new campaign, two grumpy middle-aged has-beens gather in a studio to recall the summer’s feast of football and look ahead to another Fantasy season, full of hope.

There’s no frills. No live video cast. No special guests. Just Granville and I, stripped back and almost unplugged.

Don’t let that put you off, though. Even with our limited powers we at least attempt to cut through the issues currently rattling around in the minds of Fantasy managers.

We assess the Old Trafford revolution, the world without Suarez and the merits of the three-man strike force. We slice through the current transfer trends and weigh up matters such as the Sigurdsson/Bojan rotation, Fagregas vs Hazard and the Chelsea back four conundrum. We also manage to warm up with a nice little argument about the Alexis Sanchez bandwagon – the traditional pre-season barney.

Be there at the birth via this link, or witness the new dawn via the handy player below.

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

    Thanks to the DZ for the past few weeks of advice. It will soonbe crazy in here with pages flying by.

    Have settled on-

    ------------------Begovic/Elliot------------------
    Lovren/Chambers/Chester/NTaylor/Hutton
    ---Hazard/Mata/Ramsey/Sterling/Marney---
    ------------Rooney/Costa/Austin-------------

    Chambers to a Palace 4.5 who gets a start.
    Long term-
    Sterling can become Spurs mid
    or
    Lovren to another 4.5 and Sterling to Silva. These are not planned transfers just options.

    Thanks again and good luck to all

        That has seemed to be the layout dilema on here
        eg-

        Mata/Ramsey/Hazard/Sterling/4.5
        Costa/Rooney/6.0
        vs
        Mata/Ramsey/Fab/Siggy/Young
        Costa/Rooney/Dzeko

        Both have their obvious merits, just have to wait and see i guess!

    Right lads this is it!! The day before is here and I am off to bed now since it is midnight here. Work all day n night tomorrow and it will be a shitttttttshowwww here so this is last chance to get a word in for me.

    Goals for the season are to defend my ML titles, 3 in 4 years my big one! Top 10k if I can somehow spend a little wiser this year, and not start late on the Ramsey and Yaya and Barkley wagons and so on.

    I will probably go 3 5 2 with Mr. Toure come early early Sat morning.

          I'm not totally settled. QPR rotates well with Palace. The question is whether Kelly will be nailed at Palace. Would allow for a Rio/Kelly rotation.
          If you're willing to rotate a 4.5 with a 5.0, then Ward or Clyne are good pairings for Rio.
