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.

  Why not just save the transfer? Unless you're going to start him this week, there's no rush to sell him when he might just come back next GW and is just being rested.

    Sorry a little unclear, I have three defenders. Rethinking bringing in Puncheon or similar for Maloney with a hit probably isnt a very smart move.

Play Cuellar or Enrique this week lads?

Reckon QPR might nick a goal, so Enrique's attacking potential is tempting, even with a harder fixture.
