The Saturday Surgery

Bon matin. The penultimate Surgery of the season opens it’s doors before Fantasy Premier League (FPL) talk hibernates to some degree for the summer. But until that dark day dawns on millions of fanatical Fantasy Managers we’ve got plenty left to mull over and, right now, we’re counting down the minutes until FPL locks down for it’s thirty-seventh gameweek.

Mark has given the Watchlist another refresh and also afforded us with his weekly Scout Picks, Johnfinlay took the chance to divulge how the Captain’s Poll has been shaping up this week, Sir Paulos has been plugging away in the Technical Area as he assesses teams fighting for survival while just this morning Big Dunc offers up another cavalcade of Differentials for those needing that slice of different in the last weeks.

So we’ve offered up the weekly Fantasy Football Scout thought process so now all that’s left to do is enter the Saturday Surgery and make those last minute decisions. That and panic.

    Done it. Silva -> Kuyt. Woop woop.

    6 of my front 7 are now on pens (assuming Brunt isn't back), which is nice, with Barton being a pen taker on the bench. Bring on the rash late challenges!!

      That's probably about right. Like me and everyone else, you'll just have to hope people either play or don't play, and aren't thrown on for a few minutes at the end...

      Switch the order of subs. Huth will be back for the league game and will play more than Coleman and is more of a goal threat.

        Yeah, has to start and play until the point is secure, which could be late on. He tweeted about forcing down his pre-match pasta, which I know doesn't mean he'll start, but at least he's getting ready like normal.
