Saturday Surgery – Gameweek 2
Filed under: Matchday Surgery - Posted by: Mark
As another Fantasy football deadline creeps towards us, we swing the doors open on the Surgery Chatroom to cater for all those looking to share some thoughts and gather advice in real-time.
It’s been another busy few days, with Gameweek 1 giving us more than enough to chew over. Michu’s ascendency has been quite extraordinary, while the emergence of Eden Hazard and the arrival of Robin Van Persie has scrambled our pre-season thinking and forced re-organisation. Should United’s Dutchman make an impact against Fulham today, we’re likely to see a further frenzy in the week to come.
Last night we, of course, published our second Scout Picks of the season offering our snapshot of those players backed for profit this weekend. That was followed by this week’s Differential in which Swansea’s Danny Graham got to peep out from behind Michu to get some attention. All your team news, along with predicted lineups is gathered here, while this week’s ScoutCast (with blossoming listening figures for the new season – thanks) can be found here with another preview of the action to come.
The Captain poll, again with over 8000 votes, sits in the middle column offering a view on the armband dilemma, while our members can soak up Paul’s analysis of the new playmakers via this latest “Versus” article. With the Watchlist returning this week and James McClean coming under focus, that should give you plenty to absorb in the next hour. The Pre-match Preamble is on its way…

Why is Rvp pictured above with Arsenal ? Do they not know he has left the club, looks very unprofessional IMO especially if any tourists or visitors were about :-;

Mark says:
It’s the standard surgery image…I’ll update it for next week. Not surprisingly, such tasks slipped down the pecking order for the season start point.
August 25 at 11:22 am
Hard Van Toulouse says:
No worries , maybe we could have a vote on which picture to use in future : eg , tevez and Mancini or Suarez shaking hands with Evra !
Btw thanks for all your hard work- it doesn’t go unappreciated.

DoubleTroubleBarneyRubble says:
Fed
Clyne / kompany / vert / Ivan
Mata / Cazorla / yaya
Defoe (c) / Pog / Torres
Jussi / Noble / klakini / stevens
Is it worth a last minute -4 Torres to RVP?
I have 3.9 in the bank???

BigAndy_79 says:
Do you not have some sort of rotation in place with your defenders?
August 25 at 11:26 am
bigjohn says:
na just cant decide which 2 to bench
August 25 at 11:25 am
DoubleTroubleBarneyRubble says:
Tough one!!
Baker I would say could be a low scoring game at vp!!
August 25 at 11:22 am
BigAndy_79 says:
Baleso or Danny Graham captain? I am reluctant to captain someone from the early game, although I can sit and watch it and cheer him on,. Hmmm,….

Just did Terry to Baines for a four point hit, good move? :S
August 25 at 11:29 am
Jimrod says:
We’ll find out later this evening!
August 25 at 11:31 am
J_K says:
Better move than mine below! At least Terry definitely wont play….
What made you pick Baines over a United/Spurs defender with their fixtures?
August 25 at 11:27 am
J_K says:
Just did A Cole> Baines for a hit.
It made sense for long term team arrangement trust me but what does everyone think his chances are of getting 4+ more than Cole this week?
August 25 at 11:27 am
Sweet Carroll Nine says:
20% :L
August 25 at 11:30 am
J_K says:
I’ll take 20%!
My foolish faith in Gerrard and desire to jump on the Hazard bandwagon got me in this mess…
