The Saturday Surgery

Filed under: Matchday Surgery - Posted by: Akers

A rather muted Saturday showing, with just six matches on offer, provides the backdrop for another countdown to deadline. The surgery chatroom is now open for business and available here for those looking for some quick therapy and instant feedback on wacky last minute tinkerings and armband switching.

We’ve just under an hour to go, with the Pre-match Preamble on it’s way and Dugout Discussion to follow as Aston Villa and Norwich get this tepid day of action underway.

              Berbs has always required FPL patience – At least in nowadays we can expect him to start. – Good luck BLO and take no notice of 4-4-whatshisface.
