Saturday Surgery – Gameweek 7

Cherish this time. Next weekend we’ll be without all this and be faced with squaring up to real life without Fantasy Football as a distraction. With the last international break still in memory, it’s not something I’m generally looking forward too.

Let’s make the most of the final hour or so, then. Get into our Saturday Surgery chatroom and leak your β€œinnermosts” in front of your Fantasy football peers in real-time.

Before you find yourself gripped by the deadline stress, why not take five to take in Andy’s Catch-Up of all the key coverage we served you this week. Pop back here in a bit for another β€œPre-match Preamble” and stick around for the Dugout Discussion that kick’s off just before the City game gets our Gameweek moving.

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

    Vorm

    Baines, Jagielka, Vertonghen, Ivanovic

    Dembele, Santi Cazorla, Kagawa, Bale

    Tevez, Pogrebnyak

    ok maybe slightly misleading but ppg for (c) choices (h/a)

    Bale 3.6
    Hazard 9
    RVP 7.3
    Lambert 8
    Santi 7.6

    Think Hazard and Bale's could be a bit misleading as Bale is starting to come into form. Santi's a bit of a surprise. Think I'm going Lambert def though

    Current midfield:

    HBA, Pienaar, Yaya, Santi (Guthrie)

    Have 1 FT and 1.2 in the bank and no Chelsea or Spurs attacking coverage.

    I fear that Yaya might be rested so

    a) Yaya -> Mata
    b) Yaya -> Dempsey
    c) Save FT

      It's got to be Ba with Fletcher on the bench.

      You shouldn't be benching a player like Fletcher though IMO. I'd consider benching/selling Dyer for someone sub 5m e.g. Sterling

      I agree with this. I think HBA is the best mid-priced midfielder (Michu not far away) swapping them out at the moment for 'form' players seems illogical.

    HELP!

    2 FTs, my options are:

    Guthrie > Sterling – I won’t play Sterling this week but it seems a sound move in the long-term as I’m sure he’ll justify the extra money over Guthrie.

    Gorkss > Davies – Not sure Davies is even nailed on but a home game against Reading is surely the best replacement I can get for Gorkss this week.

    Other? Here’s my team:

    Bego Juusi
    Baines Hangeland Cuellar Saylor GORKSS
    Bale Caz Pie Michu GUTHRIE

    So why is Berbatov > Ba such a bad move?

    Ba has a good record vs Man U, is good for the long term, in great form - Berbatov is 90% out this weekend and can downgrade Tevez back to Berbatov after the Internationals with him being captain material at home to Villa.

    Unless there's been early morning news that Berbatov is fit to play, I think it's a sound move.
