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

      My captain isn't until 4pm tomorrow 🙁 I'll be hammered by that point.

      I have 4 playing at 3, which is probably a bad thing. Young, walker, mingolet and Adam

    I was envious of anyone with Drogba for the recent Chelsea double, I'm also quite envious if you've gone Balotelli this week, even more so if you've gone captain!

    I see big returns for him (but didn't get him myself :P)

        That would be ideal but I think the chip is slightly off his shoulder now he has a bit of the limelight due to Tevez being out.

        He's still a complete fruitcake but I can see him repeating his Villa (h) performance slotting a couple of pens home again.

      Agreed, if Blackburn get relegated it will send a positive message to new owners pursuing short term success. Their treatment of Allardyce was appalling (not that I'm his biggest fan) but Kean has been exposed as the complete amateur he is.

    I was always getting Silva in, it was just a case of

    Suarez and Yaya vs Kuyt and Balotelli and I went for the former. Seems like a bad choice, especially given the fact the last 2 are playing up front and on pens!

          Nani didn't play in the CL so he will start, especially with Clichy his opposition with Park on the other flank.

          There's always an outside chance that Valencia will start but I see him as a sub later on in the game.

            United still haven't got the title, so Fergie won't be taking chances.

            However when they do get the title, I expect Nani & Rooney not to play a great deal so I'll ship both out.

      gents if anyone fancies a sure thing, minter play today in the challenge cup at 1 o clock.

      their odds to win this game today are very shor (cant see them losing) but the win the tournament, they are 8/11 in plces. When they beat quins today, they onlyhave to beat stade francais in the final. And stade are a joke, trust me, ive never seen a team luckier to win a semi than they were last night.

      anyway, if anyone ever came to me and said have you ever seen a sure thing in gambling with decent odds, this is it. 8/11, check dds checker- bet wont be available after 1pm today.

      ps- final is on May 20th, so you have to wait 3 weeks for yoru money
