While Black Squadron are up and reveling in the long overdue return of Adam and Joe this morning Fantasy Squadron still has a lot on it’s plate to iron out after what seems like an equally long time away. With just a couple of hours left until the Fantasy Premier (FPL) deadlines hits there’s plenty to think over and not much time left to decide.

The Saturday Surgery once again opens it’s doors for any and all managers looking for that last minute relief of fellow managers in a similar state of panic…

“Who do I captain this week?”

The people have spoken quite clearly on this matter and if you don’t have Robin Van Persie in your squad heading into this week, it might be time to duck and cover as Blackburn pay visit to Emirates – the Dutchman will be looking to build on his record 11 Premier League goals in ’11. The only ill-ease will come from the fitness doubts we have surrounding him. Nani and Rooney lead the chase with Lampard, Suarez and Tevez straggling.

“What other players should I look at?”

Mark is backing the likes of Kolarov, Nasri and Suarez (amongst others) ahead of this gameweek , while the Watchlist has thrown up the longer term potential in from capalists like Simon Mignolet and a whole host of others. Big Dunc has thrown up his differential choices this week for those looking for something perhaps a little left of centre.

“Are there any good runs of fixtures to be capitalised on?”

Always. Check out my most recent Fixture Frisk for who we’re tipping and avoiding and whip out your new and improved season tickers to look at the top defences, attacks or make your own choices.

We head into the chatroom for the last few minutes before deadline and savour the wise words of Lance-Corporal Jack Jones…

“Don’t panic! Don’t Panic!”

    Last minute decision!

    Can't make up my mind on who to bench:
    Nani/Nasri/Dempsey/VDV/Adam
    RVP/Rooney/Suarez

    My gut says VDV at the moment. Agree?

          Defence is pretty standard for people on this site, I guess: Foster/Coleman/Huth/Luiz (Walker/Carr/Begovic).

          I've taken a few hits during the season, though...

            If I moved Lampard to VDV could upgrade Zigic to Suarez and have basically the same team as you.

            Fact that I have A Young and you have Dempsy means your team is worth about £108m. I'll guess you've made about 50 changes also.

        This is my first season, made a beginner's mistake and used it in November.

      Play Downing, but I think Cahill is a fitness question, so it may not make a diffence. Cahill is of course the better player than ZZZigic.

    http://www.manchestercity-mad.co.uk/news/tmnw/mario_balotelli_roberto_mancini_training_tackle_carlos_tevez_663615/index.shtml
    Mario Balotelli was involved in another unsavoury incident yesterday just hours after Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini claimed that the wayward striker had promised to clean up his act.

    Balotelli went into a heavy and poorly-timed challenge on top-scorer Carlos Tevez in training and was confronted by Mancini, who was seen wagging his finger angrily at the 20-year-old as he reprimanded him for his latest loss of control.

    Probably something and nothing, he's a bellwap though.

      slightly off topic but:

      when players are fined a weeks wages or 2 weeks wages where does the money go?

      surely there should be a charity set up for this money or something

        Sometimes you see that the club declares its gone to a charity, but as they generally make it well known if they are doing the decent thing I imagine that generally that is the exception rather than the rule.

      Im in a similar pickle and after charlie adam wasnt all thier for Scotland on international duty (although i felt he was played to deep)he may be worth dropping to the bench if its going to take him a week or two to get back to form.
