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.

    A question frequently asked, what is the situation with wilkinson? Gonna play the next few weeks? Who is the threat to his position?

      Only Huth, and he is out of favour and wants to go home so he is nailed on for the foreseeable future.

    As Rooney is an OOP player now does this make him a must have pick? 🙂

        King Cabbage is write....if anything AVB's comments suggest he will stick with Bos. He spoke of the whole team developing a defensive ethic.....the only comment to suggest he'll be dropped came from D Mail and D Express journos, not even backed by an attributed or unattributed quote.

      Bos is clearly favoured by AVB. He's got great potential at either end of the field when he does play, and when he doesn't, as a defender he's unlikely to come off the bench for 1pt.

    Using my wildcard and contemplating taking a chance on welbeck, do people think rooney will continue in midfield leaving hernandez and wellbeck up top? If rooney was to move back up front, im worried hernandez and wellbeck would share the gametime. Personally i think he will play plenty but im open to hear otherwise?
    other options are:
    sturridge who i feel is even more likely to be rotated
    ba has really tough fixtures approaching
    any body else looking good for a run of goals like maybe bendtner or hoilett?

    Given (vorm)
    Simpson Enrique Bosingwa (Kompany , De laet)
    Silva VdV Moses Ramsey (Brunt)
    RvP(C) Adebayor Suarez(VC)

    Thinking:

    a) Kompany>J.Evans (generate cash) then bench Moses
    b) Keep this team & save transfer for next GW

    If silva doesnt play I have most likely only 11 players.

      Not worth a 4pt hit for a defender, you'll most likely lose 2 pts.

      Can you not afford Drenthe and Rooney? He'll only be in midfield for one game.

    Goallie is a tricky one this week...Begovic or Vorm? Both will prob conceed I guess..Stoke have let in 9 after European games so far..reckon Vorm might get more save points? Liv don't seem to murder teams at home

      I'd play bergovic....better keeper and bolton are not all that at home...also stoke rested alot of players midweek so should be fresh.

        I agree. Think both will concede and Liv don't tend to put teams to the sword.

        Vorm should get decent save points

      Both not great this week, but going forward, toss a coin.
      Sessegnon for me, due to less likely to be rotatedness
