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.

    Why does everyone elses team always look better than mine!!?

    any way, my final decision is -

    (Al Habsi) Given

    (jose enrique) (Samba) Cole Berra Shawcross

    Larsson Adam Ramires n'zogbia Y Toure

    (A Johnsom) Bent Suarez

    I'm not too happy about not having a big name midfielder but gambling on Ramires coming good this season for Chelsea?

      You can downgrade Shawcross to Woodgate to save .5, which is nailed on as long as Woodgate stays fit,
      And I'd pick Sess over Larsson.
      The reason you don't have a big name mid is having both Adam and Yaya, you could upgrade one of them to Silva if you downgrade one.
      I'm a Liverpool fan and I'm not having 3 pool players in my team til the fixtures get a bit easier, I wouldn't have Adam and Suarez.

        Remember they got Upson now. Wouldn't call Woodgate nailed on. Personally wouldn't go near Stoke defence until fixtures clear up.

        Thanks for advice, Toure or Silva was one of my big decisions! Got a feeling Liverpool will be good this year although I was a bit unsure of 9 Million for Adam. Will see what happens this week and reconsider. Arsenal are my English team and they are gonna struggle unless they spend soon. Aberdeen are my main team and they are gonna struggle too whatever happens as usual!
