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.

      Get Bossie out of your XI - no chance of a cleanie this week. Taylor would be the pick of your bench defenders IMO.

        Totalfpl are showing cleansheet odds of 20% for Chelsea and 30% for Swansea so the difference is really only 10% x 4pts (or 0.4pts)

        Bosingwa does have the better chance of an assist (Swansea have yet to score) and with Chelsea's odds of scoring at a little over 60% Bosingwa makes up a fair part of the difference here.

        On a purely arithmetic basis I would have to agree that Taylor shades it. However, Bosingwa is widely owned and there is an outside chance that he will clean up and you will have points languishing on the bench. From a league standpoint, I think I would pick Bosingwa still as an defensive measure (ie insurance)

        Bold move going for Ward. No doubt events will prove me wrong but I think Rooney is far and away the better option.

        If I am wrong about Ward, I won't be too upset since I have him ion my team.

    Gabby – NEWC, qpr, WIG

    Sturridge – man, SWAN, bolt

          They can take more cautious approach than previous matches.

    • 15 Years

    decision made.. unless any major update comes.

    Dzeko (c) - Rooney (vc) - RVP

    RVP - Automatic differential by 6% ownership. He will do good with Blackburn but should not much as Arsenal still not gel and Blackburn will be improved by their best CB and MF.

    Rooney - The game mostly end 2-1. He will be among points but probably not much as previous matches.

    Dzeko - Rotation/Substitution risk. But playing Fulham who just returned from Europa. He's high risk but also should yield high return .. if succeed.

    I might be regret by Rooney again. But.. it's a feeling to take risk with Dzeko.

    Good luck all. Have a nice weekend.. 😀
