634x258 Matchday Surgery

The Saturday Surgery

Yesterday’s team news ruffled feathers and provided plenty of consternation for Fantasy managers. Having slept on it, there’s still much to ponder prior to today’s deadline with our Saturday Surgery chatroom now open to capture the thoughts, opinions and gripes of the suffering in real-time.

Saturday serves us seven matches, starting with a sumptuous brunch at Old Trafford with Robin Van Persie carrying the hopes of thousands of Fantasy managers against his former club. That’s followed by five three o’clock kick-offs, with Man City taking on West Ham in this evening’s game.

There’s just over an hour to go, with the Pre-match Preamble on the way very soon.

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

    Feel like Gary Lineker's just kicked me in the gonads............what truth in this or is it his attempt at a joke - 'travelling with the Arsenal team blah'?

    No Wilson 🙠one of my better defenders. Looks like i need to decide between Cameron or Wilkinson.

    you could actually see old man fergie benching rvp to save him from arsenal and prepare him for the CL game mid-week

    I hope that is not the case at all as I am a fellow RVP captainer but Hernandez has been on form and does warrant a start in a proper big game.

      If Hernandez starts it's only because Rooney won't be up front.

      Arsenal isn't really a "proper big game" considering their 6th place form.

      exactly, plus Linekar goes on about him travelling with the Arsenal team. Listen folks I've been to United home games early and watched players drive themselves in. There is no United coach to get to a home game.

        Do you SAF would leave him out all together???? Not even make the bench? If the Gary Lineker tweet is true and he is not on the coach, that would mean he is not fit.

    Right, I'm going to have to take Wilson out for a hit, as otherwise I could have 10 men at this rate.

    Current defence:
    Begovic Jaask
    Baines Ridgewell Nelsen Lowton (OUT: Wilson)

    Bank: 0.8

    Reckon a Stoke defender and double up with Beg?

    Cuellar is of no use in GWs 11 and 12, and Demel could be a good asset to have come GW12 and STO fixture. Any additional thoughts would be appreciated?
