Matchday Surgery

14 January 2012 286 comments

Mark

Without an early kick-off, the Saturday morning schedule allows us to concentrate fully on the impending Fantasy deadline in just over an hour. As Wildcards are dealt, the decision making process remains in overdrive – our Matchday Surgery chatroom is now open to ease the pain and offer real-time views and opinions from your Fantasy peers.

Over the week, we’ve delivered our usual batch of information to help feed your thoughts – Watchlist articles on John Arne Riise, Stephane Sessegnon and Peter Odemwingie gave you options. Big Dunc’s Differentials gave you more. Last night’s Scout Picks offered our view and selection for the Gameweek, while our team news collated all the crucial information from around the grounds. Members articles on James McClean and Chris Glover’s debut piece on goal chance conversion, added to the mix and the Pre-match Preamble follows to round things up before you cross the white line at 11.30.
