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.

    A load of my players seem to be doubts to start going into this game rooney, aguero , ridgewell , sterling , dempsey if bale is back, mccartney. Should I take a 4pt hit and get rid of walcott to boost my chances of getting 11 playing ?

        Start ridgewell, good chance of cs & if he doesn't start he won't come on for 1pt. If reports on here are true, sterling will be on bench & u risk a 10min 1pt cameo with a chance of 6pts sat smuggly on your bench.

        I think West Ham have done enough to prove that they are (to a degree)fairly fixture proof, no.
        As TA18 shows, fixtures look good.

          1. English (main reason) = over rated or at best very well covered with the media
          2. Liv has no depth in squad - would never play if Borini was fit and they didnt mess up the Sturridge/Demps sagas on 31 Aug
          3. Brendan wants to give chances to young players, even if they are from the finished articles they might be in a few years (suso, wisdom, sterling would never dream playing for another top 6 team)
          4. his stats are far far from being impressive for a liv striker (fact)

    so, now we know Sterling will be on the bench do I start him and risk a 1 pointer or bench him and play Shorey?

    Arsenal do struggle from set-pieces

          Sh1te.

          Reliable source?

          Team struggling a little now... No Enrique or Sterling.

          May have to start AJ and hope he plays.
