An hour until the Fantasy Premier League deadline kicks in so the Saturday Surgery is open once more to help soothe any last minute ailments.

Wayne or Robin? No, not a Batman conundrum, but the more important matter of with whom to hand the captain’s armband this upcoming gameweek.

A smorgasbord of Watchlist movers and shakers for your long term considerations, the Scout Selection Committee’s Choice Cuts and Big Dunc’s favoured Differentials and all the weekly Team News should help Fantasy Managers in their time of woe.

Keep calm and carry on. The Saturday Surgery is open once more.

      The petrov everyone talks about is Boltons petrov. Nice fixture today but still tight for a few games afterwards

    Wondering how much Aguero is set on to play.

    I've actually got him consigned to captain right now, with Rooney as VC.

    Had a good GW4 so got some room to take risks, just not sure if this would just be a stupid one!

      I am choosing between those three and Silva. I am really tempted by Cahill but Everton are just too rubbish at the moment. Probably go with Rooney, if only because I have Walcott too for Arsenal.

      Luiz isn't nailed on. Ditch him for Kompany who is certain to play and slightly cheaper. Same problem with Benayoun, change for Arteta or Walcott (Walcott may be too expensive)

      No need to play it safe if you're doing well. Rooney has been a standout in the previous game as he's played 2 teams that can't defend (Arsenal and Bolton). There are better captain candidates this week.
