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

        Well that's made me feel a bit better. At least I think my rival has left got rid of Nani this week so won't be missing too much in points I hope even if he does get a big haul.

          Whether it turns out good or not, dropping a player who never does anything away from home for a player who's OOP and playing against a team that never keeps a clean sheet sounds right at this moment, doesn't it?

    in life, there is a fine line between genius, and madness...this morning, i have treaded that line....

    What did i do?

    RVP, and ADAM OUT

    Kuyt and Balotelli in.

    I know.

    Gives me ten differentials though with great potential.

    Foster

    carr, Ridgewell, Huth

    Nani, Lampard, Walters, Nzogbia, Kyt (c)

    Drogba, Balotelli. (ivanovic benched)

    It's now or never really, i have 10 differentials thoguh, he has a 70 point lead.

    TEN DIFFERENTIALS!! TEN F.UCKING DIFFERENTIALS!!! GOOD ONES!!

    and there'll be no moans if adam or rvp do anything, they were my decisions.

    Come on balotelli you mentalist!

      Not sure about taking Adam out, Blackpool need to win today to have any chance of staying up and hes the main man but Kuyt is still a good choice.

          Bookies aren't often wrong but on this occasion I'm going against them.

          I think you take too much of a risk with Ballotelli, I really do. Too much of a hot head for me and his arrogance currently outweighs his potential.
          It's a gamble to captain him whereas I firmly believe Suarez is a very safe bet.

          Yup, and it's most definitely possible, and what I want to see.

          I'd love to see Chelsea and United go toe to toe for goal difference in the final two games however much the odds are stacked against it getting there. Would be much more interesting than watching Owen, Gibson, Brown, O'Shea etc trot out for the home game with Blackpool as is probably more likely at the mo.
