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.

      Same here, although I'm confident Rooney will do just as well or outscore him.

        Have already taken an 8 point hit to get that team, don't want to take another. Besides keeping Pog allows me to get Bale for his return, this is pretty much the only week I plan on playing Pog. It's not all about just this week.

    Am I right in thinking the yellow card limit for a ban moves to 15 on Monday i.e. Suarez would no longer be on the tightrope if he avoids a booking v Reading?

    How flawed is my thinking here?

    I have made my 2 free transfers and am considering a 4pt hit, which would be Suarez to Rooney. If I do this, Rooney will likely be my captain.

    I also have RVP and after the double gameweek and Aston Villa home game, I can decide to bring Aguero in for RVP/Rooney (dependant on how they perform over that time).

    I do already have 8 DGW's though.

    -Going for golden boot
    -Relatively easy teams for away fixtures
    -Due an explosion
