634x258 Matchday Surgery

The Saturday Surgery

8 December 2012 388 comments

The lure of the double Gameweek is strong. To spend or not to spend? Do we toss our armbands in the unlikely direction of Sunderland or Reading? There are many questions to throw around this morning and, with just over an hour to go, our Saturday Surgery Chatroom is now open to offer real-time assistance to those firmly in a quandary.

The day’s Dugout Discussion follows around 2.30 today, with a nightmarish double Gameweek viewpoint to come in the Pre-match Preamble very shortly.

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

            me neither, I just dont have any other DGW attacking player, hopefully any wont be a must. Im currently starting Sterling and Ashley young, and if anyone misses out than RAfael or Olsson will have to cover. So its a dire situation, but next week I will have a great team if I dont make changes.

      Much cheaper too - if he keeps delivering he could replace Sterling as my number 8.

    Enrique Demel Shorey (Clyne Nelson)
    Caz Felliani Michu Silva Puncheon
    RVP Berbatov (Suarez)

    Down to two: Berbatov or Felliani
