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.

    On a Wildcard. Currently, have Cazorla + Gervinho in my draft (apart from Fellaini, Silva, Maloney).

    Thinking of shipping out Gervinho though, due to all the uncertainty about him starting. Any suggestions as to who for? Cheers.

    Good DGW morning all,

    Usually just enjoy reading the posts but this week need some help in my bench decisions, have I made the right choice?

    Ddg

    Baines, Rafael, Sagna

    Hazard, Mata, Gervinho, Caz (c), fellani

    Rooney (vc) Suarez

    Bench (in this order): Anichebe, Enrique, Zabaleta

    Just worried not playing Enrique or zab instead of sag could bite me, got plenty of dgw coverage, should I drop Haz or Mata for Anichebe? Or am I good to go?

    Thanks in advance and good luck all.

    Repost:
    Baines or Evra? It is for a hit so I am unsure about who has more upside. As I see it, Evra will return 1 if not 2 CS and Baines will not return any CS. But Baines has more chances for goal/assist returns. Confused.

      go for the clean sheets. evra hasn't done too badly on the goals or assists this season either. Its a probably 12 points against a likely 4...even with 2 assists and 2 bonus points Baines wouldnt catch up. He isnt worth the hit IMO

    @Wild Rover - cheers for taking a look at that last WC issue for me. It looks stronger if all play - do you think Rafa, Wally will get the game time this DGW, or simply stronger to end of season? Cheers
