Saturday Surgery

One more gameweek before the doctor orders us all to bed for two weeks of International Break recovery – the Saturday Surgery is back with just minutes until the lockdown on our Fantasy squads…

The Scout Selection committee couldn’t help but go expensive with our Scout Picks this week, there’s just so many tempting fixtures to choose from for all of the “top” sides. Big Dunc is all about goals, goals, goals with his striker laden batch of Differentials this week with more fancied players like Aaron Ramsey and David De Gea on the Watchlist.

Our members have had Sir Paulos and Mark give Luis Nani and the Budget Strikers a bit of deeper thought while everyone else ponders on who to captain. No debate there, it seems, with Robin Van Persie having walked away with our poll.

There’s even less time now you’ve read all that but, hopefully, Fantasy Managers can use these final minutes in the Saturday Surgery to iron out any final kinks – heaven knows having a good week this time round could prove to be very timely.

    evans > kompany
    suarez > ade

    worth a 4pt hit? my team is:

    vorm (kenny)

    woodgate, enrique, simpson (kompany, n.taylor)

    silva, vdv, petrov, o’hara (dyer)

      That's what I need to hear lads.

      I have got VDV, but I would like to keep Ade for the DGW. Need to beef the midfield up though, and I planned on doing that after international break, so I think I'll leave the team as it is and save the sub. Wish 11:30 would hurry up ðŸ™

      It's tempting to go for Suarez this week though.

      RVP (c), VC doesn't really matter as RVP will play. But, yeah, Suarez. Great options.

      This can't be official can it? It didn't come from Demi for a start 😛

      Your prediction? I can't see Ferdinand starting. Also if Carrick and Fletcher are fit I imagine Rooney will play up top, are you envisioning a wing role for Welbeck?

        it isnt that awesome! i only have adebayor, the question really, is this

        a) transfer in rooney ,bench sinclair (4 point hit)
        b) transfer in walters, bench adebayor (4 point hit)
        c) save transfer, play adebayor

        the more i look at it, it has to be a or c
