Here’s the usual heads-up to remind all of the early risers that the Saturday Surgery is once again open for those seeking answers to questions in the final minutes before another gameweek deadline closes.

With a mixed bag on the horizon -ranging from blank fixtures for some, to double headers for others – there’s plenty to consider in the last 90 minutes or so. – hence the opening of the chatroom for those searching for a quick-fire yay or nay to any given dilemma.

        I had the same dilemma, I chose Sheamie ahead of Walker just in case he makes it. If not, Walker isn't a bad option to come in.

        agreed, have been debating him out to someone else all week but I just cant do it, just did Nani OUT Malouda IN for 4, am willing to take a risk on Newcastle game, lose 1million, I have the cash to bring him straight back in next week if it is essential

    Bench Carroll or Djourou? There's no one else I can bench, maybe VDV.

      I have a feeling VDV will get a pen and a set piece assist at Arsenal, or something like that, I know popular opinion on here is to ALWAYS play the doubler, but where there is a doubt over whether he plays both games and coupled with the fact I am almost certain both Liverpool and Spurs will score, Djourou bench, Carroll plays.

      But that's just me!

        Liverpool don't travel well and games like this one tend to be tight affairs. I can see Arsenal shutting out Liverpool.

        The Spurs game is likely to see Arsenal concede. I'd play Djourou. And, in fact, that's what I'm doing.

          Oh, I assumed you had Young and were thinking of transferring out for Malouda, may as well go for the DGW player of course sorry
