The Saturday Surgery

It’s like last week never happened. Up until Man City woke us up from a weekend long slumber it seemed like it almost never did.

Unlimited transfers. Unlimited options abound. Unlimited panic with just limited time remaining. Three rooms, not four, available to offer Fantasy Managers our best thoughts as they search for divine inspiration in these final minutes.

The chatroom is available for people to confab on their last minute decisions before the ever approach deadline looms.

I’ll be with you, on the front-lines, wondering exactly what to do, as I’ve got full funds leaving me stuck between my very own rock (Wayne Rooney) and hard place (Darren Bent) for a final striking spot in my squad.

    Hi, anyone got any views on:

    A) Silva and Dyer
    B) Yaya and Sinclair

    I am currently leaning towards A however I feel Sinclair is going to score big throughout the season.

            Very similar team to mine, except that my strikers are different.

            I went with Torres (C) and Baines (VC), its a tossup between them
