The Saturday Surgery

Let’s hit this quick as we haven’t got long left. The Saturday Surgery has once again opened it’s door for any and all fantasy managers looking for a last minute remedy to whatever fantasy ailment they may be having – please note if your orc has a headache or you’re out of mana, it’s not that kind of fantasy. Pressing concerns this week may include but not necessarily are…

“Drogba has got malaria, what other big strikers can I keep my eye on as my patience is wearing thin?”

If you glance around our Team News page all you need to know, and them some, is at your fingertips. The possible returns of Wayne Rooney, Robin Van Persie, Jermain Defoe and Darren Bent this weekend could once again open up the competition in fantasy managers barracks’ far and wide.

“What does the Watchlist prescribe this week?”

The defending duo of Titus Bramble and Brede Hangeland have caught our eye when it comes to future captures, the form, and more, of Asamoah Gyan puts him on radars while Chung Yong Lee (who also has some rather nice fixtures) rounds out this weeks rally.

“Who framed Roger Rabbit?”

Watch the movie and you’ll find out.

“Which way are people leaning on the captaincy angle?”

Nani of Manchester up against Wigan of concedes-a-lot is the hot candidate this week coming out of our weekly poll. Cesc Fabregas is fighting admirably in second as the chief alternative.

As always the Saturday Surgery is open and those on call will be looking to help you out. But if you’re not loving that opinion this is exactly what the chatroom is for, you can get a quick referral on a second or even third opinion at the drop of the hat. Under an hour now…

            Odds say 4.5 for Newcastle to keep a clean sheet, only four teams have lesser chance to keep one according to the bookies.

      I am going with Nani at the moment but thinking about changing it to Fabregas looking at Spurs defense which concedes a lot. Also if Arsenal win Fabregas will get guaranteed 3 bonus.

    Betting for the weekend:
    Blackpool and Wolves draw
    Bolton and Newcastle draw
    West Brom and Stoke draw

    Treble just over 33/1

    Add Birmingham and Chelsea to draw and we get 121/1

    Worth a few quid I reckon.

    No idea who to transfer this week, may save 2 for next. Zhirkov to anyone would be nice but no one really stands out in defence. Cahill or Samba are not very exciting but could do a job I suppose. Anyone have any ideas.

          Thanks Aj, not a fan of Rio with his injury record, I would rather spend the bit more on Vidic I think. Utd also look a bit shaky despite nice fixtures but then so does everyone.

      Nice. Dubious defence though, but that's the price for having that many big names.

      Jaska wouldn't be a bad move - decent fixtures though their defensive record is poor.

    thinking about foster--->jaaskelainen but not sure if i trust the bolton defence enough, they haven't kept a clean sheet since gw5!

    it'll be a free trade as i've got two this week, and there's no others that i'm considering this gw, but i could let it roll over for next week is suppose

    my other 'keeper is krul and his fixtures rotate better with jaaskelainen's which, plus birmingham's fixtures are pretty awful for the next 10 games or so

    worth it?

        yeah i keep thinking that transfers are wasted on 'keepers because they're only likely to get you 6-7 points maximum and could easily end up with 1-2, but as it's free and he has 4 homes games in 6 and my current one's have pretty nasty fixtures i'm leaning towards taking the risk

        it's a case of now or never though with NEW, BLP as the next two opponents...

      No. Liverpool will struggle, especially with their current injury situation. If they can sneak a 1-0 they'd be delighted.

      Man U on the other hand look good for more of this...
