[sbu_large_image] Selection

7 May 2011 1295 comments

Akers

Time is against us. We’ve less than an hour in fact before the Gameweek 36 deadline passes and our fortunes are left in the lap of the gods once more. Before we cross that white line however, there’s still precious minutes available. Time to make a difference. Time to wrestle with variables and assess likely scenarios.

The Saturday Surgery chatroom is here to assist you sorting through that mess – so pop in and quiz your fellow Fantasy Football comrades on the morning’s selection dilemma.

The Surgery will take you right through the 11.30am deadline, and will return in the form of the Dugout Discussion in time for the afternoon kick-offs.

Thinking about whether I shoudl get rid of Carroll or Adam.

Demba Ba for Carroll worth a hit?

or

Yaya for Adam worth a hit?

Depending on which one I do the other would be subbed.

  I normally use the last five minutes of my teamtalk to tell danny simpson how important his role in my team is despite sitting on the bench for half a year, the unsung hero of my squad. Only once i asked him to step in, it was a dgw, and he returned 12 points, i keep reminding him of this.

Oh God - my stomach just went through my ar$ehole.

Deliberating to the last minute as per usual and did my two transfers at 11:29. Pressed OK and went to captain VDV only he wasn't in my team because I'd pressed change transfers, not confirm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just made it in the end at 11:30 on my clock!
I've got that sick relieved feeling now!!!!!! 🙁

Transferred in Pav on my other transfer.
If he does well he could win my mini league for me. A big gamble but I've got a gut feeling.

14 years, 11 months ago
well gnts, i stuck to my guns on vdv, no no for me. stayed away from all the glam man city midfield too.

i DID however bring in modric for nani and captain him. One look at his chalkboard against westbrom sealed the deal.

Also got nolan and cahil in for the sexy lineup of

elokobi, Huth, Cahill

Nolan, Kuyt, Modric (c), walters

Drogs, balotelli, Sturidge (Lampard on bench)

fully expect walters, Cahill, Huth and Nolan to score, so thats 22 points for a start 😀

    I know who my rival has brought in.. VDV & Kolarov..
    
    He told me who he was bringing in and was a bit sheepish about it as he thought that I would accuse him of copying my team..

      My rival hasbeen copying me ever since I begun to close him down, always offering strange reasons as to why he did.
