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.

      On facing Stoke City (Di Matteo)

      ‘Stoke haven’t been involved in a game this week, which we need to take into consideration,’ he said.

      If you can decode "take into consideration" for us both then i think we have a winner....

        also don't sleep on Cameron at RB...he could solidify a 3rd position on this team. I also smell a Maurice Edu sighting...Adam is not to be trusted with speed on the pitch.

    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?

      My team is such that, if I have Peanut, I should be dropping Rangel(?)

      Or and if I have McClean instead of Peanut, I should be dropping Demel.

      No?

      I think with no Jelly, Everton might find scoring at Swansea tough. Also don't think W Ham will keep another CS today. So McClean feels like a good option...?

      Risky but in the same fixture last season it would have got you 30 points. I think its a bad idea but with no stand out captain choice this GW its a good time to take a risk.
