Matchday Surgery April 13

The Saturday Surgery

766 Comments
Share

The double Gameweek frenzy reaches a crescendo with around two hours to go before the gate slams down on our Fantasy lineups. Points hits are still on the cards, captain changes and bench tweaks still to be decided ahead of a Gameweek which will, hopefully, provide some heavy scoring after the previous weekend fell so flat.

If you’re late to the party, you can can catch up with our double Gameweek dominated Scout Picks selection, find some left field selections via the Differentials or, if you fancy a aural accompaniment to the bacon butty, fire up the latest ScoutCast. If you’re still dallying on those transfers, maybe our team news with predicted lineups can help you out.

The Matchday Surgery chatroom is now open for those who require some real-time reassurance, while the Dugout Discussion will follow prior to today’s kick-offs – at around 2.45.

Another Friday night Pre-match Preamble follows shortly.

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

    Team this week, I still have 1.1m in the bank and have made 2FT, I noticed the player winning my league looks to have made a -8pt hit and he leads me by 10, I think he will now have 8 DGW players compared to my 6..he always copies my transfers to match my team..can people RMT please? Do I take no hit and be 8pts better off before we kick off?

    DDG

    Nasty, Rafael, Cameron (Marriapa, Davies)

    Caz, Fell, Sissoko, Mata (Townsend)

    God this captain dilemma is killing me, VP ior Caz. Head is telling me to play safe and go Caz, home fixtures and pretty decent form. VP away fixtures and no form it really sounds like a crazy idea to be captaining him but something inside just won't let me take the band off the Flying Dutchman.

    Thoughts?

    final touchups...

    ddg
    baines riether clark* (harte davies)
    wally caz maloney sissoko* (michu)
    rvp giroud berbs

    so....am thinking of doing sissoko + clark >> fellaini + clichy (-8)

    - the sissoko >> fellaini (-4) is pretty much fixed

    - the clark >> clichy (-4) is up for debate...if clark doesnt start, i only have 10 starters so essentially a 2 point hit..and clichy has a future dgw

    - i could do harte >> any def upto 5.2 but couldnt think of anyone that has a future dgw and a good fix this week

      Really strong but Moyes might not start Mirallas after what he said the other day about him needing to man up.

          It was in the Metro on Tuesday I think. He was just saying that he's got plenty of ability but that may be he's not cut out for Everton or the premier league if he keeps wanting to come off with 15 mins to go.

      I'd only chance Man U or Arsenal. All is guesswork though whatever anyone says or thinks.

      If you're chasing a ML it may be worth a punt. I've taken loads of hits just for fun now.
