The Saturday Surgery

With ninety minutes to go before the gate drops down on our Gameweek decision making, there’s likely to be plenty still deliberating the day’s dilemmas. The first of two back-to-back double Gameweeks hands us the potential of strong returns, although we find ourselves somewhat at the mercy of Rafa Benitez: an unenviable position when considering, wildcards, transfers and the captaincy. Our Saturday Surgery Chatroom is now open to offer a crumb of comfort for those seeking real-time feedback for their theories and musings.

The day’s Dugout Discussion follows at 12.30 ahead of Tottenham’s trip to Loftus Road for the early kick-off. The pre-match preamble is looking purposeful on the touchline.

I know it doesn't make much sense but who would you rather have:

A) Bale vs qpr and MUN

or

B) Luiz and Gibbs for the double GWs

It's great how you can't help but be wildly optimistic about the midfield wildcard options right now. Our cups overfloweth with riches. The amount of goals from them over the next couple of weeks feels like it should be double figures or it'll be a disappointment.

Would you guys start any of Taarabt, Sagna or GJohnson over Puncheon or Clyne?

My bench looks too expensive to leave it as it is 😐

Don’t require any transfer advice. I’ve decided this is it!!! Although Nervous with no Bale.
However I want to make sure I have my bench selections correct. Would you bench Sagna for Harte? How about elsewhere? Tempted to play Marv ahead of Meeech…

Mignolet (Szczesny)
Zabaleta, Luiz, Harte (Sagna, Demel)
Walcott, Michu, Fellaini, Mata (Marveaux)
RVP’S, Berbatov, Ba

If Baines ankle is giving him so much grief, is this perhaps the reason his form has been so bad?
So much want him in my WC Team this week but can't decide on him or Gibbs (which gives cover next week) and extra dosh elsewhere, or NOT???? AAARRRGGGHHH. HELP ME PLEASE.
