The Saturday Surgery

Bon matin. The penultimate Surgery of the season opens it’s doors before Fantasy Premier League (FPL) talk hibernates to some degree for the summer. But until that dark day dawns on millions of fanatical Fantasy Managers we’ve got plenty left to mull over and, right now, we’re counting down the minutes until FPL locks down for it’s thirty-seventh gameweek.

Mark has given the Watchlist another refresh and also afforded us with his weekly Scout Picks, Johnfinlay took the chance to divulge how the Captain’s Poll has been shaping up this week, Sir Paulos has been plugging away in the Technical Area as he assesses teams fighting for survival while just this morning Big Dunc offers up another cavalcade of Differentials for those needing that slice of different in the last weeks.

So we’ve offered up the weekly Fantasy Football Scout thought process so now all that’s left to do is enter the Saturday Surgery and make those last minute decisions. That and panic.

    lads, need advice on how to lineup this week. Mainly in defence. Currently lined up like this:

    Jaskalaainen (stockdale)

    Luiz, Samba, Lescott (smalling, walker)

    Nani, Lamps (c), N'Zog, Kuyt (silva)

    RVP, Ba, Suarez

    Shall I play smalling/walker? and in what order would you have the subs?

    advice would be much appreciated.

      How is he guaranteed to score if he plays? Parker should be back for West Ham and they are a completely different team with him in the side.

        I was exaggerating of course. But N'Zog is in form, Rodallega isn't.

    About to take a 4 point hit to swap him out for Suarez!

      I wouldn't, VDV looks good for next week, doubling up on chelsea midfield not so good for next week imo..

      This week it could be worth it though, all VDV needs is a pen to get a good score though..
