634x258 Matchday Surgery

Saturday Surgery – Gameweek 5

We’ve just over an hour to go before the bell tolls on another Fantasy deadline, we’ve opened up the Surgery Chatroom as per usual to cater for those in need of some real-time assistance, or just looking for an excuse to gloat while others scramble.

Of course, we’ve been building up to the deadline all week and, in case you missed it, Andy provided his second “Catch-Up” article this morning summarising and linking back to all the activity of the past seven days here on the Scout.

The Pre-Match Preamble follows, with today’s Dugout Discussion launching in time for the early kick-off at the Liberty.

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

    There is no more Gibbs in the template 😆

        with 0.3 in the bank.

        100% sure, no errors here.

        Pity missing out on RVP, Ba, and Michu....One of them will surely hurt. If 3 of them score, I will kill myself.

    What do you guys think of zamora? He may not be a natural goal scorer, but seems to be nailed on, can provide a fair bit of assists as well as qpr is getting better and better.

        If I do I will bring in Ba for Graham, before his price rise tonight. It gives me three toons but I reckon they will do well in their next two.

    how do my team looks for this week? good to go? any last words before their battle?

    Jussi (Vorm)
    Demel Reid Williams (Hangeland , Barnett)
    Kagawa Bale Yaya Michu (Allen)
    Pog RVP Tevez

    tripling up on WHU players too much? just thought that is the most logical way team lay my team off.
    making a gamble on Bale (C)? anyone on board?

    thank in advice for your opinion 🙂

      I am making Bale captain I reckon. Him or Tevez. Or Hazard. Or RVP. Or Demel.
