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.

      If Ramsey & Rosicky are both out, then I can see all 3 starting tbh. Playing Frimpong, Song & Arteta away at Blackburn is too defensive and will send out the wrong message.

    Last time I made a last minute captaincy change away from Rooney it backfired massively. Suárez did sweet FA whilst Roon tore Arse apart. So this time I resisted the urge to make a last minute switch to Džeko from Roon. Fingers X'd I've played it right...

    Couldn't do it. No way could I have Rooney as captain when playing my beloved football team. It would be like cheating on the missus when she's right in front you.

    Dzeko with the band, RVP as VC and two frees for next week.

    So with that, I hope you have a great weekend-I'm finishing off plans for my 30th birthday party tonight. Having a fancy dress party so should be a cracking night!

      Isn't it rather difficult to "cheat on the missus when she's right in front (of) you"?

      Even if you were to locate her to a more convenient location - say a few feet to the side, you could still argue that it is not cheating since your implied infidelity would be open rather than hidden.

      16 point hit is just insane! He may as well have just used his wildcard.

      Hard to say really, Dzecko could easily not play/play some and be swapped for Tevez.

      Least Ward for you is nailed on and has the potential to get you some very nice points.

    I've got a theory on why Rooney will go well this week. When Cesc debuted a pair of Nike boots a few seasons ago against Blackburn, he got 16 points. When CR7 did the same thing against Newcastle, he got a hat trick. Rooney did the same thing last year with the green ones he wore and he was in the best form of his life.

    Can anyone see what I'm getting at? He's a shoe in!
