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.

      Hoolahan any day - first of all Norwich are at home and he impressed away to Wigan and secondly Barton is involved in a derby game. Any thing could happen and most likely will to Barton. One thing for sure, Sunderland won't collapse like last season. They have a much stronger defence and I think they will win 2 - 0.

    Have a dilemma:

    Option A = Lampard, Nani and Suarez
    Option B = Malouda, Charlie Adam and Rooney

    Also, is it worth having both Boswinga and Hilario or having Enrique/other instead

        Zamora is cheaper and not a bad swap if something happens to Saha. However, it may just be a race to see how gets hurt first.

      Yup, I'm going with Saha. Still unsure if its a wise move - some here seem to think he's not gonna start. I like to go for the odd random pick though. Balotelli was my downfall last year - twice.

      I've gonna Everton-less for now. Haven't even seen them play yet so couldn't commit the money to Baines or Cahill. Saha is probably worth a shot thought if you can face giving him a precious striker spot!

      I've picked Agbonlahor as a cheap way into Villa's favourable early schedule but I've not seen Villa play, don't know his form or how we teams up with Bent. Is this a bargain or one of those cheap buys that I'll regret?
