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.

    From what i've seen of Taraabt he has flattered to deceive this season - was absolutely shit when we played QPR. More interested in Hoolahan personally.

          Serious? He's got a David Silva vibe about him. Absolutely ran things when Norwich came to Leicester. Also Norwich have been by far the best team i've seen there this season.

        In a massive shopping mall at the moment but i'm all shopped out so the girlfriend is doing that and i'm taking a bit of time out to listen to the leicester game and catch up on fantasy football of course!!

        Off to Chiang Mai on monday and then Laos next week!!

          Sweet. Pretty jealous, no travelling for me this year.
          From what Pardew has said he is planning to play Ben Arfa up front (well just off a target man) so he could be a good un. He'll take shoot-able freekicks as well. Watch FPL put him as a 7m forward now though and ruin it. 🙂

    Within reason, what would you guys consider a perfect game week ... and how close have you come to achieving one?

    My criteria would be: full set of clean sheets, penalty save for keeper, goal for a defender, at least an assist or goal for each midfielder and striker ... and of course a hattrick for the captain 😉

    Can't say I have ever got close to that!

      Difficult question, but during Man Utd's dgw in January I captained Berbatov who got a ridiculous amount of points, as well as having Torres, Meireles and Kelly, who also did very well. That was my best total, comfortably above 100 points, not sure the exact score.
