A Gameweek that stretches out over an almost unthinkably long twelve days is almost upon us. With this the last opportunity to use your second wildcard (no one still has their first, right?), we now enter a pivotal phase of our Fantasy seasons. Rest assured, the Saturday Surgery Chatroom is here to take you up to and through the imminent deadline.

This has to be the trickiest double Gameweek we’ve had to negotiate our way past, with the Carling Cup final playing havoc with our plans. However, this period could be a defining period of our campaign with the wheat being separated from the chaff. How will you cope?

Captaincy doesn’t seem much of an issue though with double Gameweek players, predominately the Arsenal ones, topping our captains poll. In-form and injury-free Robin van Persie looks like the stand-out choice – if he blanks, the disappointment will bring our weekend crashing down around us.

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

        yeah thats what i thought.
        not sure how to sort my bench then.

        cleverly - attacking potential but away to pool
        rafael - attacking potential but playing in derby
        coleman - attacking potential but away to bolton

        you see my dilemma!

    almost done my wc team.. much late than i thought.

    need help a bit..

    Foster* - Friedel?
    Kolarov - R.Johnson* - Coleman - Kelly - Huth*
    Nani - Walcott - Fabregas* - Adam - VDV?
    RVP* - Odem* - Tevez

    1) I'd take risk to keep Adam on his last DGW.

    2) Finally made my mind to transfer VDV out, who's injured and have no game on GW28.
    Who's best? a) A.Young b) Cahill c) Lennon

    3) Anyway, I still can't make my mind for GK.
    Who's best? a) Friedel b) Begovic c) Howard

      1 - i am, but dont feel good about it...

      2 - Cahill is thee man from next GW on, but Young is a good shout this GW...

      3 - Bego/Chesney combo for me, drop Brab and get Walker in as a DEF instead for Villa cover...

    Morning chaps

    My WC team so far is:

    Foster
    Huth, Simpson, Kelly
    Fabs, Walcott, VDV, Adam
    RVP (c), Odem, Tevez

    Begovic, Nani, Kolorav, Coleman

    A few questions:

    1. Should Simpson be replaced with Carr or Kyle Walker?
    2. Should VDVD be replaced with Bentley, Lennon A.Young, Barton or Kevin Nolan?

    (I dont want to loose VDV as I would 0.4m on him)

    3. Subs in right order

    Thanks ladsss

      1. I don't think Simpson will keep CS. Carr for short-term and Walker for mid-term.

      2. I also don't think Newcastle are that good away from home. Barton and Nolan is not for me.

      3. Me the same.

        1. I agree. Geordies do leak Goals..

        2. Im playing VDV...not that tempted by the Geordie lads vs two tight home defences.

        Lennon, Dempsey, Tim Cahill dont tempt me

        Merieles is the other one tempting me

      • 16 Years

      1) Some are heavily invested price wise and the thinking is that he may start VS Blackpool = bigs points potential - the problem arises that he only plays 2 games between GW's 27 and 29 whereas others play 4. He contibutes to the missing fixture next week. If you dump him you need him back for GW30
      2)Keep and Play
      3) Keep as potential DGW next week (on my bench tho)
      4) Booth should be fit and should play - not certain tho
