Time is against us. We’ve less than an hour in fact before the Gameweek 36 deadline passes and our fortunes are left in the lap of the gods once more. Before we cross that white line however, there’s still precious minutes available. Time to make a difference. Time to wrestle with variables and assess likely scenarios.

The Saturday Surgery chatroom is here to assist you sorting through that mess – so pop in and quiz your fellow Fantasy Football comrades on the morning’s selection dilemma.

The Surgery will take you right through the 11.30am deadline, and will return in the form of the Dugout Discussion in time for the afternoon kick-offs.

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'm personally going Huth over Simpson as I feel even though they concede he is a goal threat and Arsenal aren't defending too well.

    I'm feeling very uneasy about having Huth, Luiz and Cech on my bench. Team linked, right choice?

        I'm considering Cech for the coverage as I assume a few will be going Chelsea at the back, as you've just proven. But realistically think they'll both concede but Robinson will get more save points no?

        Then the whole Luiz/Hange/Huth thing.

        Arrgh, tough this week, really tough.

        That is not good news. I'm 38 behind and was hoping that if I beat his score by 13 each week from now I'd win. Having just let my team rot in the early months, I picked it up again just after Christmas, closing down a 250 point lead. Hoping my differentials are gonna have on hell of a week.

      😆 I'm debating over the same thing. I was starting with Flanagan all along but I'm gonna go with Luiz just cos Flanagans points have come at home and at least Luiz is a goal threat. I still fell it's gonna be nil all at the cottage though
