The Saturday Surgery

With the gameweek deadline drawing in and the heat getting turned up on the comment boards, it’s time to open up our Saturday Surgery chatroom.

Those Fantasy Managers looking for validation, inspiration and a good helping of high-speed banter to see them through to the Fantasy Premier League gong, can check-in right here.

Our Dugout Discussion chatroom will open up at around 12.30 to cover the first of today’s kick-offs, as Nikola Zigic carries the hopes of thousands of Fantasy Managers on his lofty shoulders against the Baggies. Is it only me feeling rather uncomfortable about relying on the fortunes of the skyscraper Serb?

Finally, another reminder that we’ve launched a new Cup Competition for all visitors. It’s free to enter and there’s over £200 of prizes. Deadline for entry is next week but you might as well submit your interest now if you fancy it. The Entry form can be found right here.

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

    Carson, Reid, Meite, Olsson, Shorey, Mulumbu, Brunt, Morrison, Thomas, Scharner, Fortune.

    Subs: Myhill, Pablo, Tchoyi, Cox, Cech, Vela, Odemwingie.

    Not sure if that is 100% the bench.

            Remember when you basically destroyed Arsenal at the Emirates with slick passing and movement...why change?! The only other WB game I've seen was when you did the same to Newcastle at home - pace, movement, Odem and Vela all the way for me.

            Close call. Had Thomas benched over Odem in Metro, but managed to make the switch before it gave me the new free transfer. Think that will have worked.
            Switched the armband to Arteta too.

            Will Metro make it 1-1 or 2-0?

              I did Zigic for RVP 30 mins ago as I forgot about the deadline for transfers. Dropped him to Rooney who was on the bench at 11.59pm

            In life if you do something sometimes you will ask people their opinion on whether or not it was the right thing to do.

      Zigic isn't the real deal; he was awful against Wolves earlier this season and still has to develop. Blues in all sorts of trouble if they lose to West Brom today don't you think?

      Odd fellow. Looks so fu*ked, guess that's what drugs do to you.

      Piers Morgan made a good point when he interviewed him, that if he was a rock star people wouldn't care as much. It's just that he's on a TV show instead.

      love it dan,

      and its women like her that i absolutely despise in life- i actually wouldnt piss on her type if she was on fire.

      Love how sheen keeps calling her boring and normal- the accusatory tone in her voice like its ANY of her f**king business. I seriously wouldnt piss on her if she was on fire . Too many c*nts like that out there.

    This gameweek has already thrown a few curveballs.

    Feeling smug about ditching Odemwingie for Bendtner now, i expect that feeling to last for about 2 more hours til i find out Bendtner is benched, gonna enjoy them tbh.

        Arteta captain worries me. Kinda wish I had done Meireles to him now just as a safety net because him putting Arteta in as captain was as predictable as Huddersfield making a balls of promotion again.

        That team has cost him 8 points though so I'm on a good start.
