The Saturday Surgery

The strange summer of October has dawned on us this Saturday morning and, with about an hour to go until Fantasy Premier League locks the doors ahead of gameweek seven, the regularly scheduled programming of the opening of the Saturday Surgery is nigh.

As clocks count down until Fantasy Managers are left but to the fickle fate of twenty rogue squads of Football Players we’re left to deliberate over those last gasp decisions…

Hopefully a week’s worth of Fantasy Football Scout material can help those in a deadline pushing quandary. The “Scout Committee” have put forward a new set of Scout Picks while our members can read in great detail as to why Gareth Bale got the call to arms.

The Weekend Team News is in (Wayne Rooney is fit) and our community have been scrabbling for days to try and decide on who to hand their weekly armband to.

Still in a fluster? Then the Saturday Surgery remains here to let you all duke this one out with fellow Fantasy Managers.

        Im still not sure. It's soo easy to score, maybe people are just getting used to the defending, i don't know. I like the new head to head rankings. But, i don;t like that you can't see which tam your opponent is, for example i've played as Brazil against Barcelona and played as Madrid against... Madrid.

          What is more, I think it is too easy to score from a distance...

              Thanks mate.
              It's all good. Have the famous ToD gut feeling that I normally dismiss to my cost.
              Not today - I've grabbed Bendy by his big ol' Danish balls and given them a bloody good yank in the direction of my team.

          The Fallen
          Sentinel Bumblebee Ratchet Brains
          Megatron Shockwave Optimus(C)
          Ironhide(VC) Sideswipe Starscream

          I decided to play the safe option for captain. I'm thinking of doing Sideswipe -> Unicron for a 4 pt hit. Thoughts?
