Matchday Surgery April 13

The Saturday Surgery

766 Comments
Share

The double Gameweek frenzy reaches a crescendo with around two hours to go before the gate slams down on our Fantasy lineups. Points hits are still on the cards, captain changes and bench tweaks still to be decided ahead of a Gameweek which will, hopefully, provide some heavy scoring after the previous weekend fell so flat.

If you’re late to the party, you can can catch up with our double Gameweek dominated Scout Picks selection, find some left field selections via the Differentials or, if you fancy a aural accompaniment to the bacon butty, fire up the latest ScoutCast. If you’re still dallying on those transfers, maybe our team news with predicted lineups can help you out.

The Matchday Surgery chatroom is now open for those who require some real-time reassurance, while the Dugout Discussion will follow prior to today’s kick-offs – at around 2.45.

Another Friday night Pre-match Preamble follows shortly.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    So sorry about re-posrt but I've been struggling with my wildcard, mainly due to a lack of time. How does it look atm? 2.8 million in the bank, where should it go?

    De Gea - Robles

    Hangeland - Sagna - Cameron - Demel - Davies

    Cazorla - Pienaar - Coutinho - Yaya - Snodgrass

    Berbatov - RVP - Mirallas

    Any responses would be hugely appreciated 🙂

    I'm taking the armband off Cazorla & putting it back on RVP.

    RVP has only scored less than 5 points in 2 consecutive games all season.

    Even if he doesnt score, he will surely assist, or get bonus.

    cant stop thinking about getting Walcott in either.

    Cazorla, Sissoko, Gerrard, Fellaini
