There’s just a little time before the Fantasy deadline, so if you’re still pondering transfers, captain selection or even the order of your substitutes bench, then the Saturday Surgery chatroom is the place to go for immediate views and opinions from your Fantasy Football peers.

There’s no early kick-off today, so the Dugout Discussion will pop up just before the 3pm games with all the accompanying team news.

Akers Richard or Akers, as he is known, has been regularly haunting this site since July 2008. He is young and foolish, take what he says with a pinch of salt. Follow them on Twitter

      I had been going with Suarez but might wimp out and go for Lampard. I am in 1st place in my mini league and my nearest rival will almost certainly captain Lampard.

      Going with Silva(c) as Parker looks a major doubt for West Ham and i think they will just get over run.

      If not, Kuyt or Suarez to spread the risk and get a bit of the goal action from both games.

          So I'd have to say Suarez and Silva. But then I've fallen to a rubbish 16k over the last 4 weeks so maybe get Kuyt and Silva 🙂

      Suarez and Silva probably the best although most likely to get brought in by others this week I think.

      Balotelli still has really low ownership so maybe him and Kuyt, Kuyt has form too

      There hasn't been a single clean sheet this season at Blackpool. Sh*te as they are, their gung-ho recklessness usually results in at least one goal, so I'd only play Huth if you think he's in with a better chance to score than the others are to get a clean sheet or Nani is to get a goal or assist.

      Huth is currently around 11/2 as anytime scorer, so potentially not a bad shout!
