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.

        Yes i did. I know but if anything, he'll get more time on the ball coming from left back and he's playing Blackpool. Plus he'll play left mid vs City and play both games, can't say the same for Silva.

    The Hitz bandwagon on here is quite funny.
    Based on very little from a form point of view.

      Based on the fixtures, the motivation that West ham have to win matches and a few stats that suggest he's a goal threat and a creative force. He's 4.8 too. All in all, that's quite a bit of material to work with.

        As a West Ham fan I wish everyone luck with him and sincerely hope I'm wrong but personally I think his popularity is based on a lot of knee jerking on here.

        Plays too deep recently from my point of view and if Parker is out can't see him being as creative as he should be.

        I really hope I'm wrong - I really do.

          You ain't wrong tho ToD. I fancy West Ham to stay up just because they play the best football down there (well wigan too) but hitzelsperger is a massive knee jerk and wanting to see things that simply aren't there.

        Don't get me wrong, not criticizing this site but I often find you get this with one player a week.

        A report written on a Monday and you see PLAYER A's name crop up once or twice on the boards.
        By Wednesday it's appears on at least once or twice on a page and by Friday night everyone is acting like it's the norm to go for him and he appears every other post almost in a sense that people are putting a player in just because everyone else is.

        I agree our fixtures are good (I think they'll save us personally) but I'd love to see the stats as to why Hitz is so popular.

        Personally I think it's a typical bandwagon scenario.

        Again, I'd love to be wrong and come after me at 4:45 if I am - I'll probably be too happy to care if we win.

        You called me, and others, morons for arguing he is likely to score more points against weaker opposition. You are arguing that he will continue to score poorly.

        So by your own standards, this also makes you a moron.

              me neither! Which is why i questionned why hitz is i the team of the week?!?

              Surely they should ick the best team on the condition of the average price of teams. I.e. best 11 + 3 subs up to the value of around £106mill.

              Picks of the week is different from bargains of the week. I would put a large post of money against hitz outscoring modric. And these fools were saying thats what will happen. Love it.

                When did I say that Hitz would outscore Modric?

                All I am saying is you claiming Hitz will continue his poor fantasy returns is no more, no less, moronic than those that claim he won't. Period.

                And if you look at my posts more carefully you will see that I predicted 13 Pts for Modric this GW last night.

                  I think wires have been crossed here. The only reason i've lashed out at the hitzelsperger thing is that i didn't believe the scouts should have thrown him in the team of the week when there are much bettercontenders.

          I'm sure the fans would love that. Probably wiser to finisg fifth and then get knocked out of The Europa League swiftly, if you don't wanna be in it.

            Nice, think it's the best week to take a gamble seeing as their isn't many decent options elsewhere. VdV has been off form for a good 3-4 months imo, as long as he doesn't get a penalty I'll be happy! 😀

        My mate took a 4 point hit to bring in Elmander for Tevez.

        HAPPY DAYS.

        Now watch as Sturridge does jack and Elmander gets a hattrick.

        Oh, and while Silva will get injured after a minute Yaya will score him loads of points...

        bahaha,

        main rival got Bale, Dawson, and BALOTELLI in to offset me having balotelli, and captained balotelli.

        and he has vdv.

        all things being equal, im delighted ive picked modric as captain now, and balotelli likely wont even start the midweek game! hee hee 🙂

            48 points, it was 90, been reeling him in gradually. great chance of knocking another 20 off it this week, ive lots of differentials still- which is basically how ive reeled him in. got rid of rvp etc to have 8 differentials last week. Have 9 this week

          Does anyone actually know the exact details of the case involving QPR, didn't they get permission from the football league or the FA to for Faurlin's transfer?

          All the complaining sounds like sour grapes to me.
