The Saturday Surgery

Filed under: Matchday Surgery - Posted by: Mark

The Fantasy manager’s schedule rolls on. Just 48-hours after saying goodbye to one Gameweek, we’re on the cusp of another full programme of Premier League matches. With one eye on the double fixtures looming in Gameweek 26, we make our final preparations ahead of the deadline in just over an hour. Our Matchday Surgery chatroom is open for its Saturday morning shift, available to soak up your views and queries as the clock ticks down.

The Dugout Discussion will be underway at around 12.30 in preparation for the early kick-off at Loftus Road, while this morning’s pre-amble is having the studs checked on the touchline.

    I'm actually considering to downgrade Mata to Michu and then Dawson to Verthonghen. When are we going to see news… »
  • Galvatron
    I'm thinking Fellani to Couthino, think Aguero and Tevez are more likely to go bang.... But scared of Sturridge though! »
  • Deicide

  • SUPER OSCAR ~BABYY~
    i think he's fit but wait for the news on him. if you want luiz, then vert->luiz. »
  • Galvatron
    Will Michu out score lamps by 6 points???? Might do, but doubt it. »
  • stewpot
    Probably Coutinho from those 2. I'm debating whether or not to bring in Michu for Fellaini for -4. It's doing my nut in »
  • jimski
    I think I'd stick and play Maloney if I were you. I'm still weighing up the merits of Mata -> Michu for free.... »
