The Saturday Surgery

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.

RVP has only scored 2 points away from home once and that was in GW12.
Every other away game that he has started he has scored, assist and/or got bonus points.

People need to realise that Theo has not played any football for a month.

Even IF he did start today, he would be subbed off after 60 mins.

He will most likely be kept for the harder game, Everton.

baines riether clark* (davies harte)

if clark doesnt play, i will only have 2 defenders...so
A: do nothing and hope clark plays
B: take another hit to do clark >> clichy (nailed on for future dgw?)

Despite DGW could still end up with 10 players.

JUSSI BAINES, MONREAL, Wilson
FELLAINI, SANTI, WALCOTT, Sissoko
RVP, Suarez, Benteke

Subs: Begovic, Kebe, BJones, Davies

Worth doing Wilson (doubt) to 4.7 defendor to make it -8? Or stick and poss have 10 players?

Hi lads. For some freaking reason I did Davies -> Sagna for a hit yesterday, even though I already had a decent starting lineup. So now I have a dilemma, who to bench:

Jussi, Bego
Zaba, Rafael, Sagna, Enrique, Harte
Mata, Santi, Gerrard, Fellaini, Puncheon
Benteke, Suarez, Lambert

Bego, Harte and Puncheon are obivious, but should put on the bench with them?

De Gea - Robles

Hangeland - Sagna - Cameron - Demel - Davies
