Saturday Surgery – Gameweek 6

Filed under: Matchday Surgery - Posted by: Mark

We are just over an hour away from another Fantasy deadline, swiftly followed by our first delicious slice of weekend action as Arsenal take on Chelsea in the early kick-off. We’ll cover that with our Dugout Discussion later but, for now, we’ve opened up the Surgery Chatroom to capture your views and opinions as you carry out last minute tinkering.

Don’t forget, to soak up all our key coverage from the site over the past seven days you can direct your eyes at Andy’s Catch-Up article published earlier this morning.

The Pre-Match Preamble is on its way shortly…

    Anyone know why Ba is getting more goals than Pappis, I thought Cisse was through the middle with Ba out wide?

      Ba is better

      • Reputation Level: Scout

      • Reputation Level: Scout

      Sterling + Kun

      1. blo_in

        Sorted.

    a) Two to play from Clark, Cuellar, Hughes and Nelsen?
    b) One to play from Dyer, Maloney and Lambert?

    Please bear in mind that I have Baines (at home to Southampton), Begovic (at home to Swansea) and Cuellar (at home to Wigan) which may affect my attacking / defensive returns..

    1. VinceDaPrince
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      Clark and Cuellar
      Maloney for differential......Lambert could score too

      1. Delilah
        • Reputation Level: Scout

        Thanks, I'll bench Nelsen, Dyer and Hughes then, in that order.

        Sorted.

    start
    1.foster or ruddy
    2.demel or davies

    1. Delilah
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      1. Foster
      2. Demel

    Ba or Baines as captain????

    1. josc87
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      Got to be Baines - 70% chance of a clean sheet, 1 assist, 2-3 bps: 10-11 points.

      Ba, probably 1 goal, so around 6 for me.

  7. SwindonSteve
    • Reputation Level: Scout

    Play Hangleland over Demel?

  8. benzieyeah
    • Reputation Level: Scout

    instead of asking who top captain, which i'm sure has been done 5 billlion times already, how about this. What are your predictions for players' scores this GW? Here's my 2 cents...

    Baines - about 8
    Fellaini - about 9
    Cazorla - about 7
    RVP - 9?
    Fletcher - 13ish
    Ba - 13ish
    Tevez - 1-5

    1. Bane
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      So you think Fletcher and Ba are both going to get 2 goals each. Wigan are not pushovers.... And Reading are also no pushovers. I think your predictions have beem slightly exaggerated.

      1. snowman
        • Reputation Level: Scout

        u are right reading are not pushovers ;)

      2. benzieyeah
        • Reputation Level: Scout

        only predictions but yeah, i can see each of them getting 2 each. still capping RVP though

      3. benzieyeah
        • Reputation Level: Scout

        more confident that Fletcher will get a brace than Ba today though. as someone below said, wigan have coneded 8 in the last 3, fletcher has scored in every game and sunderland will be going all out for their first win of the season so i see them creating more chances than has been the case lately too

    2. josc87
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      Baines – 10
      Fellaini – 6
      Cazorla – 6
      RVP – 5
      Fletcher – 6
      Ba – 6
      Tevez – 1

    3. VinceDaPrince
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      Baines - 18 :)

  9. Bikesh Kayastha
    • Reputation Level: Scout

    Fellani or Fletcher whom to choose captain?

    1. Delilah
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      I'd go Fellaini

  10. Delilah
    • Reputation Level: Scout

    Who to captain, van Persie or Baines?

    1. floydy_floyd
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      Baines

    2. josc87
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      RVP could easily explode, but i think Baines is the safer, more consistent choice.

      Baines, just

      1. oxido_76 / FFS UEFA doubles…
        • Reputation Level: Scout

        Baines safer choice than RVP.... LOL

  11. snowman
    • Reputation Level: Scout

    fletcher or fellani for captain?

    1. jimnastics
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      I'd go Fellaini.

      1. josc87
        • Reputation Level: Scout

        tough one - wigan have conceded 8 in there last 3 games - and fletcher has scored in every game so far..

        I'd go with fletcher - but you could flip a coin

        1. snowman
          • Reputation Level: Scout

          probably end up with baines or rvp now you have said that

  12. jimnastics
    • Reputation Level: Scout

    At this rate, I'll have no Chelsea players for NOR, or going forward after that. Too risky?

    1. Podge
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      Ivan hattrick :)

  13. drughi
    • Reputation Level: Scout

    play guthrie or noble ? guthrie i would say more likely from open play but west ham are due a penalty so maybe noble ?

    1. snowman
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      guthrie, he is playing against old club, and if cabaye is out i think he will do even better (i am bias of course)

  14. jimnastics
    • Reputation Level: Scout

    Play Michu or Yaya?

    1. josc87
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      This week.. Yaya.

      Stoke a tough to break down at home. I've benched Michu myself.

  15. El Berbossa - RMT SPECIALIS…
    • Reputation Level: Scout

    FELLAINI OR RVP C??

    1. drughi
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      i'm a coward so i went for rvp

    2. snowman
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      i have gone fellaini but am thinking baines

      1. JN
        • Reputation Level: Scout

        I got Baines in this week snowman :)

        good scores for us both last week bud :)

        1. snowman
          • Reputation Level: Scout

          Alright Joe mate, yeah well done last week, had to take a hit this week however and get rid of berbatov without him even kicking a ball!

          Who you captaining this week? Dilemma of baines, fellaini, rvp or fletcher for me.

          All the best

          1. El Berbossa - RMT SPECIALIS…
            • Reputation Level: Scout

            Got the same dilemma.

            Here is my reasoning

            Southampton most heavily conceding side in prem. 15 goals conceded and 9 of those in 2 games away from home.

            Coming up against a First choice team away from home who are in very good form.

            1. snowman
              • Reputation Level: Scout

              Yeah i agree, i always like a risk take so am thinking fellani but baines might just keep a cleanie and score a pen/assist!

          2. JN
            • Reputation Level: Scout

            Ive gone for RVP mate. Bit of a stinker with The Berb. I might hang on to him, will watch news carefully..

            Good luck for gameweek Pal :)

            1. snowman
              • Reputation Level: Scout

              cheers and you!

      2. El Berbossa - RMT SPECIALIS…
        • Reputation Level: Scout

        Fellani it is.

  16. hra
    • Reputation Level: Scout

    Ba or Aguero for long term?

    1. benzieyeah
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      depends how they both start to play, but i have a sneeking suspicion that Ba could be about to go mental again so I'd say Ba til xmas but we'll see

      1. hra
        • Reputation Level: Scout

        ok

  17. willieprunier
    • Reputation Level: Scout

    Start Guthrie or progbenyak for reading cover???

    1. snowman
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      pog

  18. Joga Bonito
    • Reputation Level: Scout

    Budget aside - which TWO strikers would you have up front??

    Get your votes in now!

    1. hra
      • Reputation Level: Scout

      Berbatov but injuried
      Tevez changed to Kun
      Kun and Graham up front would be my choice

      Struggling between if i should buy Kun or Ba!
