The Saturday Surgery

The Gameweek Nine doomsday clock is ticking louder and louder. Fantasy managers face the prospect of falling by the wayside or rising in glorious fashion with just a simple click of the button split between them.

With just an hour to go the Saturday Surgery is back…

The Scout Selection Committee has offered up our weekly Scout Picks to help those on their way – Big Dunc has provided a slice of alternative pie with his Differentials.

Johnfinlay has diligently provided everyone with all of the week’s Team News while Mark and Sir Paulos have given Fantasy Managers all sorts to worry about be it our Watchlist contenders or giving our paid Members a bit of extra bang for their buck with some Talent and Monitor pieces to stew over.

Meanwhile, Granville has been using the Scoutcast to do what it is that he does best.

Let us wile away this 60 minutes and make the right choices. Cooler heads prevail.
