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.

    Whenever anyone talks about Petrov i'm surprised it's Martin and not Stiliyan...

      got them both.

      hoping Metrov puts a shift in otherwise he's out.

      if Silva doesn't play, Setrov comes off the bench against NOR.

          You're right that he was rested.. I probably see the predicted line-up somewhere said Malouda to start on the right. Sturridge should be more likely.

    Now just waiting for the customary, 'i changed so and so but the screen went blank, has it gone through' or 'i forgot who i put the armband on' type posts to fill in the next 15 mins til the update has completed.

      Don't forget the 'wtf, I put so and so in and FPL didn't work, I hate this stupid site' after the update or after someone on one's bench scores..

        I'm joking but when you have rvp and vdv in your team you don't really need to log in that often

        he doesn't get stuck into too many 50:50 challenges. one of those annoying players who is difficult to track and has passed the ball before you even get near him. he took a hit and probably got a bruise but don't think it did any lasting damage.
