It’s breathless stuff this Christmas fixture list. The games keep coming thick and fast and it’s getting difficult to clear the head of the all the variables and avoid making a Fantasy faux pas or two.

Rest and rotation are the big concern now, plus of course those little knocks and niggles that go unreported until the teamsheets arrive. A strong bench comes in handy and some last minute advice on how to juggle resources never goes amiss. We’ve opened our Matchday Surgery chatroom so you can soak some up in real-time prior to that 11.30 deadline.

The room will close just after 12pm with Dugout Discussion on the first 3pm kick-off to follow.

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

    or
    Bale to VDV ... MGP to Cleverly

    or leave my VDV transfer for later and do
    Carr to bardsley.... Simson to wilkinson

    Mornin' all

    After getting my butt handed to me in the fantasy cup (Jammy git had Tevez (c) & VDV) I've decided I need to make a few changes

    Current team is:

    Hart (Stockdale)
    Huth, The Greek, Vidic (Samba, Salcido)
    VDV (c), Cahill, Nani, Nasri, MGP
    Gyan, Carroll (Elmander)

    I hate Gyan. Everyone seems to think he's the nuts, but he's not really done anything amazing since I brought him in a month or 2 ago. Should I take a 4 point hit & bring in Welbeck?

    I could get Tevez, or I could get both Fabregas & Gerrard in next week.

    Thoughts?

  13. ToonTom
    • 16 Years
    15 years, 3 months ago

    Ive decided I think..

    VDV it is..Harry rarely rests players but he did with VDV-off after 73 mins the other day.
    He also always seems to score points at home.
    Harry loves to play the saem team and hammer his players.
    Hes on pens as is Tevez so that cancels out.
    Defoe is out so he'll be playing off a big man, probably Crouch where he seems to prosper

    For now tis my logic...

    Like that Green Dreams?! 😉

          The "Big Surge" should have happened 3 weeks back, but injuries, games being postponed are messing up my well laid plans.

          New transfer stratergy is Torres this week (c), Tevez next (its killing me not having him), then Gerrard to get in the run for LFC x2 DGWs.

          PS - Capt Bale ove DVD 😉
