634x258 Matchday Surgery

Fantasy managers’ final preparations are in full swing, undeterred by the frosty conditions. We’ve just over the hour to go before another Fantasy deadline is upon us and, at present, it seems we’re still clinging to a full Premier League programme like it’s a warm thermos of bovril. Our Saturday Surgery Chatroom is now open to ease you into the final hour, offering a sounding board for your last minute tinkerings.

With no early kick-off, the Dugout Discussion will begin around 2.45 prior to today’s three o’clock fixtures. A thermal-clad pre-match preamble is on the way.

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

          Cheers mate.

          Team is linked.

          Debating between:

          A) Berba -> Lukaku
          B) Rafael -> Gibbs
          B) Rafael -> Gibbs, Berba -> Sturridge (-4)
          C) Rafael -> Tomkins, Oscar -> Cazorla (-4)

          Main rivals in my ML who are ahead of me have more DGW players (Juusi, Gibbs, maybe even Caz) so I'm scared of the double really.

              Thanks dude. Yeap I am WCing next week and would lose no value on Rafael anyway. Just tempted by a hit because essentially if you put a double GW player in it's only a 2pt hit.

      Yes. Fletcher Wisdom Cesny.

      Cesny- you either choose one of Bego or Cesny, too much money there. id settle for Bego and Bunn.

      Fletcher - Johnson is enough.

      Wisdom - i dont fancy liverpool's defence, except for Glen/Enrique.
