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.

        thanks very much for the reply, I've already taken 8 points down, have 3 dgw boys so I don't want to take any more hits!i'm leading both my leagues so just want to keep it ticking over till the end of the season and not go mad on points hits!

      Adam hasn't quite done the business lately. Spurs can always concede so Dudders might be worth a gamble.

    Would like some team advice please?

    Foster (Begovic)
    Luiz Kolorov Walker (Hughes) (Kelly)
    Lampard Kuyt VdV(c) Silva Adam
    RvP Odemwingie (Carroll)

    1) Have I got my team selection right?

    2) Do you think I should make another transfer for a hit? I’ve alrady brought in VDV for Fabregas and a rival of mine who I’m trying to fend of has the same DGW players as me but also has Yaya and maybe another, what do you guys think?

        Yeah, quite. I'd back Chelsea to score, but who I think Lamps and Drogba are the boys most likely to. And I'm not envisaging a goalfest.

        I also wouldn't be surprised by an Everton win, but with Cahill and Arteta in the mix Coleman's pitchtime is compromised.

          I agree that Everton will win - but you're right there. You might have to worry about an early goal in the Chelsea match, is what I'm thinking ...

          Have you still got Dempsey? Bench him instead, imo.

            Chelsea players might be unusual differentials this GW. I'm backing them to win and keep a clean sheet.

            You're probably right, but I've got a funny feeling about the merits of Clinton this GW. Totally irrationally. There's also a pretty good chance of a tight, defensive Man U - Chelsea game and a Luiz clean sheet. All that uncertainty scares me.

            Similar problem with me but then it depends on whether you want to take the risk on not having VDV. I didn't fancy that risk so thought I'd get him in.

            Now wondering if I should do another transfer to take a hit, as doubt Sturridge will play which is gutting!!
