The Saturday Surgery

With the majority of Fantasy managers enjoying at least some returns from the double Gameweek, we approach the new deadline with some optimism, particularly with several key heavy-hitters facing potentially profitable match-ups this weekend. Wayne Rooney’s form has been causing waves all week and they’ll be some still contemplating drafting in the United man ahead of the Sunderland clash at Old Trafford. Our Saturday Surgery Chatroom is now open to offer a real-time sound board on this and any other dilemma you could be facing over the next hour.

The day’s Dugout Discussion follows at 12.30 today ahead of the Newcastle vs Man City clash; a wildcard-themed preamble follows shortly.

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

      Exactly the same as mine except Mignolet.
      What do we think the score will be in each? Skeptical on Fed, specially being a Gooner..
