With under an hour to go before the gameweek deadline descends on us, we’ve opened up the Saturday Surgery to offer a cosy haven for those looking for late late advice in a hurry.

With double gameweek investments to ponder, why not pop in to get an instant view on the current Fantasy Football buzz, fire your question into the chatroom ether and see what pearls of wisdom are sent back. Dugout Discussion follows for today’s 12.45 kick-off at Old Trafford.

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

    I really feel for anyone who hasn't captained either Dempsey or Zamora on Wednesday night; it'll be a hard game to watch otherwise. Fulham are more than capable of winning well and one or the other is capable of rattling up a double figure score.

    Speaking of which, is anyone as surprised as me to see Fulham priced at evens for that game? Their excellent home record coupled with Bolton's dire away performances makes them 8/13 shots in my book.

    Gonna re-up this once more.

    Everyone seems to have taken issue with Bale and Parker getting the PFA and FWA player of the year awards, so I thought I’d do a little FFS poll. There’s no shortlist, you can vote for whoever you please, provided they’ve stepped onto a Premier League pitch this year. I’ll try and re-up this every so often so everyone gets a vote, so there’s no rush to do it now if you can’t make up your mind.

    So far the voting is as follows:

    Charlie Adam – 7
    Tevez - 7
    Nani – 6
    Vidic – 3
    Kompany – 2
    Parker – 1
    Carroll – 1
    Barton – 1
    Van der Vaart – 1
    Nasri - 1
    Nolan - 1
    Van der Saar - 1

    So, who do you think has been player of the year?

            I suppose it's a bit like saying Pele would still be the best player in the world if he wasn't 60.

              Indeed, but the main difference is i still don't think RvP is the player you make him out to be even if he did stay fit. He's very good, but not Pele!

    Seems to be some confusion as to whether Carew can play or not! With Walters in my team I'm inclined to agree with Villa.

      Think he was an injury doubt, appears to still be then.

    Good thing I didn't sell Nani...

    I hope last minute captain change to Lampard pays off!

      I was looking at that next week, the only sensible way I can get Yaya in, will take a bit of bottle to do the swap though.

        only 4 GWs left, nani will probably miss one of next 3 two of which are away. time to sell, thanks for a full year of service nani, but my loyalty is non existent. 🙂
