Saturday Surgery – Gameweek 5

We’ve just over an hour to go before the bell tolls on another Fantasy deadline, we’ve opened up the Surgery Chatroom as per usual to cater for those in need of some real-time assistance, or just looking for an excuse to gloat while others scramble.

Of course, we’ve been building up to the deadline all week and, in case you missed it, Andy provided his second “Catch-Up” article this morning summarising and linking back to all the activity of the past seven days here on the Scout.

The Pre-Match Preamble follows, with today’s Dugout Discussion launching in time for the early kick-off at the Liberty.

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

    I knew the risks of getting Pog for week 1 DGW, but I do need someone to bench each week so it's made that choice easy. I could do without him dropping to 4.8m so a goal might be ok, but I'd rather McCauley's CS and then it's time to sell Pog anyway.
