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

    Think I've decided on my team...

    Foster
    Huth Hangeland Walker
    Lamps Yaya VDV A.Young
    RVP Odem Ba

    Bego, Adam, Luiz, Carr

    Agree with my first XI? I'm happy with my front 7 but the defence looks shaky. Is any defender worth a hit to bring in? I suppose it'll be a DGW player if there is but nothing appeals to me.

      You wildcarding son of a gun. Better late than never.

      Good keeper rotation - check
      Excessive DGW representation - check
      Highest Watchlist Selections - check

      Looking good.

      My suggestions - Two city defenders seems like overkill. If I were you I'd swap one of em for Gary Cahill. I don't like Suarez' games now until the end either. If I were you I'd get Drogba and perhaps downgrade Silva to Yaya. Also Bale may not be necessary... O Hara instead?

      If you do keep Suarez, at least bench him this week and play Hitz ahead of him.
