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.

      You'll want 2 transfers for next week to sell Baines and upgrade midfield/attack. If you want to gamble on Ward scoring well do it but a 4 point hit may be needed next week to deal with Baines.

      Save it. Your team is good for this week. And although i'm bigging up Ward and captaining him, he may get 2 points if QPR win 1-0 or draw 1-1 with ward not scoring.

    Ok guys, I'm not greatly happy about my team for this week but I can't see any changes worth making this week as all the players with decent games this weekend have some shocking fixtures to follow.

    Planning to save the transfer and have 2 next week when I'll probably change Baines and a MF for Mata and cheap def.

    Am I right in saving the transfer then and correct starters and benchies?

    Vorm
    Kompany, Baines, Brown
    Moses, Taarabt, Arteta, Dempsey,
    Rooney (c), Dzeko, Suarez

        Had armband on Dzeko all week but bottled it last night and stuck it on Rooney.

        Just afraid that if Rooney grabs a brace or a goal and assist I could take a massive drop in places. Chelsea conceded at home against Sunderland and Norwich so I can't see them shutting out Utd at Old Trafford.

        Put Given back in goal again now!!
