Scratch that itch once more this morning as the cavalcade of doubt, emotions and even more doubt can put the most steely Fantasy Managers through the ringer as the looming 11:30am deadline draws ever closer for Fantasy Premier League players.

The Saturday Surgery is the soothing dermatitis cream to the eczema that is the human condition in this analogy and is open once again this morning for those searching for an even quicker hit of last-minute problem solving with their fellow Fantasy Managers.

Got your captain nailed down? Transfers done? Substitutes all in order? If the answer to those questions and many more untapped dilemma’s is no then be sure to head into the Saturday Surgery to try and hammer out some divine inspiration amongst your peers.

    Dilemma...

    Was going to swap Tevez for Drogba considering Man City have got a bad fixture this week and no fixture next week but will Drogba play against Wigan? Is Torres/Anelka a better shout?

      I was thinking the same three options before I went for Gyan but out of those I'd choose SEB, for the simple fact he's (probably) on penalties whilst the others are not.

        Cheers, I didn't know he was possibly on pens. I'd almost ruled him out before that!

        Currently leaning towards that, as he's been backed by both the scout picks and differentials this week.

        His higher price is the only thing that puts me off, plus the fact that Bolton don't have much to play for?

    Trying to pick a Chelsea striker is a dilemma for me too...

    Torres is in such poor form, but given their opposition, he might be started so he can break his drought.

    Still leaning towards Drogba though...just have a feeling he might kick on after last week's goal.

    Have Foster and Robinson as my keeper combo and they are playing each other this GW.
    Would it be common sense to play robinson as the home keeper?
    But the other side to it is I can see foster racking up a good few save points if the game has goals in it.

    Opinions?

      Depends if you've got other transfers to do next week. If you have it will be for a hit anyway so you might as well do it this week, as Foster will prob score better than Bego this week (tho not by much).

      He could've also dropped Tevez/Rooney for a cheapie and upgraded Nolan to Lamps. Just captain who you hand-on-heart fell will score the more points. Easier said than done I know!

    Hi everyone, advice would be greatly appreciated
    My team:
    Mignolet (Foster)
    Walker, R. Johnson, Coleman (Kolarov, Djourou)
    VDV, Young, Nasri, Nani, Adam
    Tevez, RVP (Zigic)

    The plan for next GW is Kolarov > Luiz, Nani or VDV for Lampard and Tevez > a striker worth 7M or under (to have the funds for the other 2 transfers, for a 4 point hit) OR should I swap Tevez this week for a striker worth 7M or under (Gyan, Wellbeck, Sturridge, Hoillet etc). What do you guys reckon? I haven't used any transfers this GW.
