Saturday Surgery – Gameweek 4

Back from the break – it’s been a testing fortnight and the ticking tock of a Fantasy deadline is most welcome. A Saturday morning deadline does still present the usual dilemmas and, as usual, we’ve opened up our Surgery Chatroom to help you get real-time views to help you through.

Normally, we’d use this post to sum up with the week that’s past but, in a new article, Andy has crashed in to do this in style via his “Catch-up”. Soak it all up here while you prepare for the deadline and the early kick-off at Norwich which triggers our Dugout Discussion.

The Pre-Match Preamble follows…

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      • 14 Years

      He has no form, has missed 2 sitters for Arsenal and was booed off after 61 mins for France. However, that's only a few games at a new club, at the start of the season so he could easily come good

        Ah right. Thanks for the France info.

        I can see he has price drop and his points return is poor but Wenger has played him last 2 games for 90 mins. I want to swap Tevez for the dif but maybe Giroud is too much of a gamble.
