There’s just a little time before the Fantasy deadline, so if you’re still pondering transfers, captain selection or even the order of your substitutes bench, then the Saturday Surgery chatroom is the place to go for immediate views and opinions from your Fantasy Football peers.

There’s no early kick-off today, so the Dugout Discussion will pop up just before the 3pm games with all the accompanying team news.

Akers Richard or Akers, as he is known, has been regularly haunting this site since July 2008. He is young and foolish, take what he says with a pinch of salt. Follow them on Twitter

        i've got adam, lamps and odem in my team - chasing a gap but i think odem is a bit of a gamble so leaning toward lamps for the armband - thoughts?

        Tazri,

        Any more cocky suggestions within your clearly limited range of football knowledge? Posters are asking for opinion not percentages. If you have nothing more to add bar a repetitive comment, suggest changing the record and moving on to another post.

      A good dilemma. My thought would be what impact will Torres have on Drogba's returns should they both start. Will Drogba play wide or in a 4-4-2?

      I gambled and sold Nani. Just not as potent when playing on the left. I also wonder whether he will be benched behind JSP. My speculation anyway.

    Got lost on last page I think:

    My team as it stands:

    Foster
    Huth Luiz Baines
    Lampard(c) Nani Toure Adam
    Carroll Sturridge RVP

    Bench: Begovic A Young Terry Hangeland

    Two issues still bugging me —-> Is my Cpt choice right? And already done Dempsey->Toure so my thinking is if both Carroll/Sturridge dont play I have a strong bench… Or would you take a hit on a transfer?

    Thoughts Please.

          I think kuyt has had his run of goalscoring, have a feeling about suarez going big - no logic just my gut
