The Midweek Surgery

In case you missed last night’s message – happy new year to you all!

There’s no time to shake the fuzzy heads, 2013 starts right here for Fantasy managers with seven Premier League matches and another 11.30 deadline ahead of us. This is the final straight of what has been an exhausting but exhilarating festive spell and, as always on deadline day, we’ve opened up our Matchday Surgery chatroom for one last time before the break for FA Cup football next weekend. No shouting please.

Our first Dugout Discussion of the year follows at 12.30 ahead of Fulham’s trip to West Brom. Sadly, there’s no preamble this morning – I’ve been up early, sans hangover, tinkering and testing Rate My Team and the Hall of Fame for roll out later today. It’s looking good and we should be live with those features shortly after the final whistle from today’s three o’clock matches.

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

    Hey guys answer me this please..

    I want Bale next week and I also want Felon long term. Is it wise to do Bale > Felon and next week Pienaar > Bale? Make sense or is it wasting transfers?

    A quick (A) or (B) please....

    (A) Bale & Benteke -> Michu & Ba (8 points)?
    (B) No further transfers

    Given my injuries, suspensions and planned transfers up to the WC, it essentially comes down to which scores higher?

    (A) Michu (AVL, eve, STO) & Ba (EVE, nor, REA), or
    (B) Taarabt (che), Bale (qpr, MUN) & Benteke (swa, SOT, wba) + 8 points

      RVP. He has been rested, plays a leaky defence and is leading the line for a prolific goal scoring team.
      Defoe has Ade to share with and no Bale.

    My defence is currently Vertongen, Cuellar, Enrique, Shorey and Figueroa. Being as 2 probably won't play and Wigan are at home to Man U is it worth a hit and is Gibbs or Azputuella (or however it's spelt) a safer option?
