[sbu_large_image] Matchday Surgery

15 December 2012 540 comments

Mark

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.

    Yeah, it is tempting, their returns are likely to be similar as well, just worried about Jenkinson.

      Same dilemma here. The bargain hunter in me says Sagna, who's worth more than 5.1, but Jenks is bound to come in over Xmas, whereas Gibbs maybe less so.
      
      May go with Nasty instead and avoid both. 😉

Morning chaps.
Hope all is well.
Lost on the other thread. I love it when you're sat there waiting for replies and nothing comes. "Must be a new story." C&P's and checks home page

How’s this looking?
Subs in the right order? Fancy Reading to score but don’t fancy them enough over Bale or Enrique potentially starting. Used my FT but not opposed to a 4 pt hit.

Jaask
Rafael – Cameron – Baines – Enrique
Bale – Nolan – Sterling – Michu
Suarez (vc) – RVP (c)
Davis – Le Fond – Demel – Sess

  Enrique, Bale and Sterling (if you believe bib-gate theory...) are all doubts, but you have 3 good subs so I'd leave the hit this week.

need to ditch Sess and I'm bringing Bale back in next week. I therefore need a one week heavy hitting mid as a stopgap. I want either Young or Silva. Young is out there I know but I just feel he could produce against Sunderland down the left against Gardner at OT.
