The Midweek Surgery

A Gameweek under lights beckons – a rare chance to wipe the memory of paltry returns with the immediate hit of more Premier League action and potential points hauls. Maybe not tonight though.

A full midweek programme starts with two matches this evening, as Sunderland play host to basement club QPR and Villa face Reading – a patchwork selection of Fantasy assets are on show, with interest again focused on how Martin O’Neill’s side shape up as they prepare for Gameweek 16’s two fixtures.

Our Matchday Surgery Chatroom is open to catch the final hour and a bit of deliberation as the 7.30 deadline crawls near.

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

    Cazorla Michu Fellaini Maloney Piennar

    RVP Tevez Berba

    2 FT 0.1 in the bank

    A) Baines to Cuellar and upgrade Piennar?
    B) Schwarzer to X
    C) Downgrade Maloney and Piennar to X
    D) Completely different move

    need more opinion on this

    Begovic
    Baines Rafael Cuellar
    Michu cazorla Fellani Nasri sterling
    Rvp berba fletcher

    Have 1.8m.

    Thinking of doing Nasri >>> bale this week and rafael >> Enrique next week…,sounds good??

    Other option is to do Nasri >>> lallana and then next week berba >> Suarez….bt berba has two home fixtures and is not on 4 yellows so prefer berba.

    Thoughts?

    Watching Barton's French accent besides being ridiculous got me thinking. There are many foreigners who have come to the PL and learned English on top of 1 or 2 languages they already speak. But I couldn't really think of an English player who say, had been in La Liga or Bunedesliga etc and actually learnt that particular language there. Are there any?

    Luiz Adriano given 1 game ban by UEFA

    On another note, plan was Mata to Sess after this GW (to fund Aguero and a Clyne upgrade). Worth doing it now, any chance of a Mata rest tomorrow?
