The Sunday Surgery

Hearts are aflutter for the last time this season. No, Andy Reid and Charlie Adam aren’t racing to their favourite Blackpool based pie emporium – we’ve got our last Fantasy Premier League (FPL) deadline looming large before the most super of “Super” Sunday’s kicks off. Not only is Premier League season coming to a close but so do all of our mini-leagues and Fantasy hopes a dreams with them for another year.

Carlos Tevez and Dimitar Berbatov look set to go head to head in the race for a shoe made out of gold, two of five sides will be the unfortunate recipients of relegation after the next 90 minutes of action and all sorts of injury, rest and rotation look likely to rear their ugly head.

Subsequently there will be plenty of questions raised in the last hour before deadline on how Fantasy Managers can capitalise on these last ten games of the season as they try to make one last push for that mini-league title. The Surgery opens on a Sunday especially for this most final of final gameweeks.

Mark and Granville are no doubt fretting over their choices with just 7 slender points separating their rivalry. The sparring between myself and Big Dunc looks more cut and dry – I’m clearly going to win.

Oh, don’t forget to enter our “Last Chance Saloon” league [details enclosed] before deadline, if you fancy.

Finally we’d just like to offer our final good luck message of the season and our thanks for your support and contributions. It’s been a blast. Again.

Keep calm and carry on.

    Chasing the lead in 2 leagues
    My team:
    Foster
    Baines, Cahil, Coloccini or Evatt
    Lamps, Silva, Osman, Maxi, Kompany
    VP, Odem, Drogba

    Transfers:
    Silva >> NZogbia
    Odem >> Tevez
    Drogba >> Berb

    Are those transfers worth it or is there anything better i can do but only using 3 transfer max?
    Which captain??

    Cheers

    Hey guys, can someone please help!
    I'm 31 points clear, got RVP, Berb & Zamora up front. Doubt Zamora will play so on bench but is it worth a 4pt hit to get Tevez in for RVP? Rival has RVP, Hernandez & Odemwingie. Going mad trying to decide!

    Is it worth another 4 points to bring in Dawson? Protecting a 36 point mini league lead

          Your spending 8 points really just to get Berb, Nani may not play & Anderson has a great chance of scoring 2 points, If it was a 4 pointer maybe but 8 is a bit rich for me.
