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.

    Pratik, came up with a minor tweak think it might interest you:

    Ba+Sagna(Will most likely bench Sagna GW 5+6, then he should be fit- even so, there is an int break after GW7)

    over

    Berb+Gibbs

    Thoughts?

      Interesting. If you wouldn't be playing Gibbs anyways these next two weeks then could work out very nicely for ya

      I was thinking the same, but recovering players can always relapse into injury....Very risky territory.

        Yea. Any other ideas on a defender around 5.0?

        Do you think Ba is that worth it for 2 GWs over Berba?

        He's had a fallout(kinda) with the team, and I;m going to eventually want Berba GW7 regardless.

        If we're sticking to no future transfers policy, we should stick with Berba 🙂

    Morning lads!

    Who to play between Hangeland and Clyne?

    Southampton’s defense has been terrible but Fulham are notoriously poor away from the Cottage and i have Maloney.

    Also, bench Noble or Graham(who is a slight doubt)?

      Never been a big fan of captaining defenders. Not a comfortable time as a manager as time is running out and you're on a CS and the other team nicks a late goal. Though I suppose you have his attacking returns to fall back on but still...
