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.

    After a few hours of tinkering, I came up with this.

    Vorm (Given)
    Kompany Baines(c) Bosingwa (De Laet Simpson)
    Hoolahan Young T.Cahill Sinclair (Moses)
    Welbeck Bent Torres(v)

    - right move to captain Baines??
    - Vorm to play??
    - Saha for Welbeck?

    Any thoughts guys??
    Thanks.

        get rid of welbeck. he might not play and you've got utd coverage in young.

        go for holt or something.

          The story of who starts for us will be in the midfield, you can pretty much guess it will be Saha and Cahill up front and the usual back four.
