Matchday Surgery

27 November 2012 1675 comments

Mark

A Gameweek under lights beckons – a rare chance to wipe the memory of paltry returns with the immediate hit of more Premier League action and potential points hauls. Maybe not tonight though.

A full midweek programme starts with two matches this evening, as Sunderland play host to basement club QPR and Villa face Reading – a patchwork selection of Fantasy assets are on show, with interest again focused on how Martin O’Neill’s side shape up as they prepare for Gameweek 16’s two fixtures.

Our Matchday Surgery Chatroom is open to catch the final hour and a bit of deliberation as the 7.30 deadline crawls near.

If RVP doesn't start, hopefully Utd will cruise it so he won't come on, and I'll have the next best Utd captain.

Just logged on to let you know that I've decided not to do Michu > Puncheon or the resulting Ridgewell > Enrique and therefore won't be making a transfer this week, despite having 2 FTs.
