It's a new Premier League season and for many it means the return of Fantasy Football, filling out teams.
Many will fall by the wayside after the first few weeks as they find better things to do with their lives but before then most people are taking it semi-seriously.
Both Off The Ball and Newstalk Breakfast have Fantasy leagues which you can sign up for and here are the necessary codes:
Off The Ball: 249216-288707
Newstalk Breakfast: 2005131-429022
But who are the lads of Newstalk and Off The Ball tipping to be the stars of Fantasy Football.
Over at the Off The Ball desk, head honcho Ger Gilroy has decided to take the easy way out and make full use of auto-complete. Perhaps it is a cunning tactical ploy but he isn't giving much away.
Wexford hurler Diarmuid 'Gizzy' Lyng may go down that route but today he hinted that he might consult with his assistant coaches when he lobbies his friends for advice after tonight's show.
OTB producer Michael McCarthy has gone for some interesting bargain buys including Craig Bellamy and Nicolas Anelka for £5.5 million. Both could weigh in with goals as could his star player Eden Hazard (who also got 16 assists last season).
But as Mick does a Wenger and also puts up with 'Le Sulk', New Jersey native Donny Mahoney has gone for one of his own in Jozy Altidore who was the Dutch league's fourth top scorer last season. He has also gone with Romelu Lukaku who could thrive under Jose Mourinho at Chelsea as well as Liverpool's Coutinho - one of the favourites at Newstalk HQ.
Joe Molloy is away today but he may go for Bellamy as well. Not so much for his ball skills but what he can do with a golf club as John Arne Riise will testify...
Moving on, sports reader Cian Murtagh is banking on Michu to score regularly from midfield, while Peter Whittingham is an interesting choice. But Cian justifies the Cardiff's midfielder's inclusion by citing his set-piece ability.
A short trip down to Weekend Sport, commentator Dave McIntyre has formulated the David Unsworth theory of goalscoring defenders by picking Leighton Baines and also going for Mikel Arteta who may score his fair share of penalties if Arsenal players legitimately win or dive for spot kicks.
Producer Adrian Barry has gone for some strange choices in Luke Moore and Kim Bo Kyung (only 1.5 per cent of the Fantasy Football family have gone for him, making the Cardiff man something of a hipster's choice).
But Adrian's balanced that out with Robin Van Persie, Juan Mata and David De Gea who he is having second thoughts about. His 3-4-3 could also be a useful ploy though.
Which brings us to Daniel Kelly who is applying moneyball techniques for his creatively-named WilfriedBonyM. Picking defenders and a goalkeeper from top half teams and leaving midfield in the lap of the Gods (which in fairness include goalscorers like Michu and Gary Hooper), Dan might switch between 3-4-3 and 3-5-2 to get the best out of his forwards.
Researcher Killian Bowe has done his homework and has gone for Southampton's cheap but prolific Rickie Lambert up front in partnership with Robin Van Persie with Juan Mata and Philippe Coutinho pulling the strings from behind.
Over at the online sports desk, Leitrim's last hope of 2013 Raf Diallo has gone for obvious choices in Robin Van Persie and Philippe Coutinho, but also includes Kevin Nolan's goals from midfield and Wes Hoolahan in what was meant to be an act of defiance against Trap until the Norwich man started against Wales.
Eoin Brennan's astute tips are Seamus Coleman, Edin Dzeko and Romelu Lukaku who will combine goals and assists.
Waterford's favourite son Oisin Langan is not looking far from home, recruiting players from our own shores including Anthony Pilkington (who never seems to make it to our shores for international matches), Hull's David Meyler, while he expects Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to have a breakout year. He also envisages an improvement for Joe Allen who could increase his assists count.
Breakfast producer Paddy McDonnell is tipping some big hitters like Juan Mata, Steven Gerrard and Van Persie to accrue some big fantasy points, while the Kilkenny Cat Kieran Cuddihy has also gone for the Dutchman, Mata and expects big things from Santi Cazorla this year. He's also getting Christian Benteke to weigh in with goals, while Sylvain Distin and Leon Britton have sneaked into the starting XI for the start of the season. Assuming they fail, they will be banished without pity.
Chambers says goooallzzzz
Moncrieff's Brian O'Neill is wary of Sunderland players in general because of the Di Canio factor as the Black Cats could either have a great season or implode. He's thrown more caution to the wind though with his other choices including Demba Ba and Gareth Bale who will miss the start of the season and might tip toe his way to Spain.
But Seamus Coleman and Coutinho are dependable choices.
Newsreader and presenter Richard Chambers has one name he wants to hype: Kevin Mirallas. In Richie's own words, he expects gooooaaallzzzz galore from the Everton midfielder.
Meanwhile the sales lads are taking different tacks. Long-suffering Newcaslte fan Killian Laher is avoiding self-torture by avoiding Newcastle players as a general rule, although he is tempted by Hatem Ben Arfa.
Garry Blair is also expecting a few goals from the Frenchman, but he has also gone for James McCarthy assuming someone rescues him from Championship side Wigan. He also tips Coutinho as a potential player of the year.
Killian is having none of that and has gone for RVP as his top pick, while expecting big things from Cazorla.
