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.

    Bego
    Sagna, Rafael, Cameron
    Mata, Bale, Fellaini, Walcott
    Ba, RVP(c), Tevez
    Jaask, Sterling, Gorkss, Demel 1FT

    was thinking of saving it and next do Rafael+Demel -->Wisdom+B.Jones (very nice fixtures for both) wich would give funds to do Tevez-->Aguero the week after

    Quick one, am I crazy to bench Berbatov? I had Puncheon on the bench initially but I've just "upgraded" him to Ramirez. I'm going 3-5-2 with:

    Baines, Rafael and Cuellar in defence, Ramirez, Fellaini, Santi, Mata, and Bale in midfield and Tevez and Suarez up front.

    QPR (possible formation)

    Traore Hill Nelsen Bosingwa
    ----------------Cesar

    QPR actually look quite solid to me like that, I think that uses their team rather well.

    It could be quite a minefield trying to get through the centre. QPR's defensive weakness might be on the flanks with Taarabt and Mackie who are hardly suited for doing a defensive job. Sunderland look to do most of their attacking down the flanks too.

    Lots of uncertainty of course, but since QPR look a bit more solid in the centre I think I'm resisting the urge to get Sessegnon (in the hole) in for this fixture.
