[sbu_large_image] Matchday Surgery

4 February 2012 371 comments

Akers

The Gameweek 24 deadline is fast approaching, leaving you little time to finalise your fantasy football squad. To aid any last-minute dilemmas, the Matchday Surgery is open for another session.

We’ve got every resource you could possibly need just one-click away, helping you to keep those last minute tweaks as informed as possible. We’ve got this week’s Scout Picks, which has named our 14 players earmarked for the Gameweek . Then, there’s arguably your most valuable asset for those last-gasp transfers – our Team News section, which is decked out with up-to-date team news and all our predicted line-ups for the upcoming matches.

The bookies are rarely wrong, so take a gander at how they rate our Scout Picks, in the Fantasy Flutter. If you fancy a further gamble, then head over to “Spot the Differential”, where we consider the prospects of several ‘unfashionable’ fantasy players looking to gain a few more admirers in their very next outing. Mark’s Pre-match Preamble also follows very shortly – it could be his last for a while, so soak it up.

And remember, if you haven’t activated your ‘free’ January wildcard yet, this is your last chance to do so!

So take the plunge and enter the Matchday Surgery chatroom, which can be accessed by clicking here.

      Yeah we know it's the right thing to do. You would be annoyed if RVP doesn't smash it and Aguero does, but nowhere near as bad if you switch the captaincy away from RVP at the last minute and he goes on a goal crazy rampage!

If RVP doesnt play or is benched then most of us are in the boat and those few who are brave enough to take it off him will profit ............ BUT on the other hand if RVP does start and goes crazy those few people are going to have an awful saturday afternoon.
