Matchday Surgery

The Saturday Surgery

This is a Saturday morning cursed by uncertainty, even before we’ve confronted the void presented by the daunting Gameweek 29. With potential injuries and very real suspensions biting into our squads, few Fantasy managers will be approaching this morning’s deadline without at least one of two concerns rattling around in their heads.

Our Saturday Surgery chatroom is here to welcome those currently toying with quandaries, offering a platform to consult your peers in real-time as we get closer to crossing the white line.

With no early kick-off, our Dugout Discussion will follow around 2.30 but the preamble is limbering up before that – we rinse through the morning papers in just over half an hour.

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

    Guys,

    1 ft, 0 in bank.

    Bego
    GJ Zaba Bramble (Bertrand Pearce)
    Mata Bale(c) Fellaini Michu Walcott
    RVP Sturridge (Anichebe)

    Im at a loss what to do with GW29 about to decimate my squad and injuries not looking good either.

    Tempted to stick and hope I get away with the doubts but unsure. Top of my ML by about 30 points with on paper the best all-round team.

    Any ideas?

    I have RvP, Fellaini, Sturridge, Evans, Puncheon, Demel all doubts. Do I gamble or use my transfer? All can come good but they're all doubts

    Don't normally flip flop on my captaincy choice but really can't settle on a final decision. Think it might have to be Bale as I'd feel foolish to ignore him again 😕

    If RVP is going to feature, surely he'll start - what would be the point in fielding him if they are 2 nil up at half time...
