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.

        United play SUN
        Liverpool play SWA
        Arsenal play WBA
        Chelsea play bla
        Spurs play ful
        City play qpr
        I think plenty of people have the majority of their players from these 6 teams, I do at least

          Sorry, should have clarified, meant that Pardew was so hesitant to change a winning team so I thought when 1 started, all 3 would (Santon, HBA and Marveaux)

    Got Rooney as captained - hopefully he will get back to some serious business and make up the back fill that Van man has created - as long as is dad is n't having a flutter on the match I think he will be fine.
