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.

    what everyone doesn't seem to realise is that if its a high scoring game week, most people will score high... It's not as if the majority of people dont have the high scoring players in! I think you can make more ground up on the low scoring game weeks! Having said that, still a low % RVP ownership!! 🙂

            he is waiting to explode this season - trust me on this one

            most shots on target, he's been unlucky. He's not a bad player, actually he is probably one of the best if he gets going. The 1 goal a game record is a myth, he has proven he can score bucketloads for country and for club.
