Somehow, this change does not work

"[G]atecrashers cause damage worth thousands of pounds after woman leaves her teenage granddaughter to house-sit"

It's strange, but "thousands of pounds worth of damage" is a perfectly acceptable usage, but this variation seems odd.

You must anticipate this!

From a piece on a TV programme:

"XXX was billed as one of the most anticipated television moments of the year, but ... ended up leaving fans bewildered."

I don't think it is possible to bill an event as anticipated ...
