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 “innermosts” 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 “Pre-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.

          Rafa over Davies. Swans totally out of form and when rafa scores and gets an assist you'll be devestated.

    Have 1 FT 1.2 in Bank and no chelsea or Spurs attacking coverage. Midfield is

    HBA, Pienaar, Yaya, Santi (Guthrie)

    Should I

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

    Not sure which two pick from this lot.

    Clyne, Sterling, Petric & Hangeland.

    I think Southhampton and Fulham are similar in clean sheet potential. Who has more goal threat though? Clyne or Hangeland? cheers

      I assume Hangeland comes up for corners a lot - Southampton aren't great at defending corners, we're doing some zonal marking that isn't working. On the other hand, we often leave Lambert on the biggest threat, and he's good at stopping that guy - I suspect Adkins will say that's Hangeland, so he could be neutralised and someone else will be more likely to score.
      So in the case, I'd say Clyne - he is freed up to attack more at home and has a goal-scoring potential cutting in if he's playing LB again.

        Clyne scored and missed another great chance home to villa, on that alone id go clyne. Petric is not a bad pick either though, can't see us ever keeping a cleanie at the moment and with berba out he should play.

          Petric is a doubt I believe - late test on a calf strain. If he plays, he'll probably score though.

        Yeah, Taylor and Berbatov injured, Toure playing more defensive now that Silva's playing regularly and Kun is back. Michu's form dipped too much, still made a profit on him. But you're right, could have held off on two transfers. Bale and Sahin at current price and starting to hit form were too tempting.

    3) heads RVP, tails Hazard
    4) flip until 3no. heads or tails all show up

    Reading have conceded 2 or more goals in each of their two away games and Michu has played a part (goal or assist) in half of his teams total goals, with 4 goals and one assist out of Swansea's 10 league goals. I reckon Michu wouldn't be a bad punt for captaincy.

      Mata, all the way, in form and playing a Norwich side that leaks goals...your conundrum is easier than mine...RVP or Hazard?!

    Sterling (STK) vs Pienaar (wig)

    who to bench?

    head obviously says Sterling but im loathed having him on the bench with a home game like that.
    ..playing Baines obviously.

    Who to captain?

    Bale (AVL): played full game mid-week but in form
    Hazard (NOR): came on as a sub (and 'due')
    Michu (RDG): fresh (and 'due')
    Ivan (NOR): think he played a full game mid-week but i'm just off to check

    It's currently on Hazard but i'm not comfortable...
