Matchday Surgery

17 November 2012 518 comments

Mark

There’s no easing us into the Gameweek this time. We’re crashing right in with a North London Derby, as the likes of Santi Cazorla and Gareth Bale carry the baton for Fantasy managers in a game that’s previously delivered goals and spills. With Robin Van Persie’s trip to Carrow Road providing the bookend to our day and with “Luis Suarez versus the Latics” sandwiched in between like a cheeky slice of spicy pastrami, we’ve got a Scooby snack of an afternoon in front of us.

Our Saturday Surgery Chatroom is now open to help you prepare you to digest such skyscraping treats. Get in there now to discuss your deadline dilemmas in real-time and stay frosty for today’s Dugout Discussion. The morning preamble is limbering up as this is typed.

  The exact reason why I bought Suarez in for Tevez don't want to captain him for 1 point, like what happened against Reading.

The results of today's matches could be very interesting indeed...

Many are in two minds about losing Santi for possibly better performers (Silva, Walcott). Then there is the question of who to partner with RVP? Saurez and Berbs have done well of course but are we ready to ditch Ba and Tevez already?

I can't wait...

Mezz, 70 for a floor seat was a steal living in the US. I know plenty that would have paid over 200 for any seat. They've only been to Arizona one other time, so I was very pleased I got to see them. Probably a once in a lifetime thing for me.

Does anyone think Welbeck will play behind Chicharito? RVP is safe, but that doesn't mean he's the best captain choice. UGH

RVP is on pens set pieces etc while Rooney doesn't play AND chicharito is a divey little bastard so there could be a pen or two for him to score
Ask yrself if anyone has as much threat as RVP with extra set pieces thrown in and you will probably tell yrself no
So it's YES to RVP captain
Surely
ManU are occasionally shit away from home...
But RVP isn't
That's why the bastards stole him
