[sbu_large_image] Matchday Surgery

31 January 2012 1842 comments

Akers

Managers the length and breath of the country are frantically trying to free up funds and strike some last-minute deals to improve their squads. It’s also Deadline Day in the Premier League, so tread extra carefully as the 7.30pm Gameweek 23 Fantasy Premier League deadline approaches.

The Matchday Surgery chatroom is open, so venture in and ask your fellow fantasy managers for help and advice.

You’ve got plenty of other resources to call upon of course, such as the Scout Picks – a selection of players we’re tipping to do well this week, the Team News – complete with predicted line-ups for all the midweek Premier League games, and if you’re feeling particularly lucky/desperate there’s the Differentials – for those not-so-popular players we think might just deliver this week.

The Dugout Discussion will follow…

Viper

Just wondering..

I done RVP (c) -> Bale (c) and when I clicked confirm and said the game is updating, I presume I just RVP in that case? Don't mind either way, they could both do as good as each other..

Time for an 8 pt hit to stop the rot. Thinking doing:

Dawson>Clarke
McClean>Silva
Torres>Ba

Would give me:

Lindy/Krul
Caulker Richards Kelly Clarke Evans
Sess Valencia Bale Dempsey Silva
Aguero RVP Ba

Worth doing?
