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.

      Wenger's selection policy always amuses me. Teams sit deep v ARS at home, neutralising the threat of Walcott's pace - yet he always plays him at the Emirates. Away from home, Theo's pace is an ideal threat against home teams who play higher up. Yet: benched.

          Undoubtedly, hence why he's a manager and I'm not. That goes for all of us.

          However, Theo - for Eng as well as Arse - seems to perform better with the space that home teams afford him when Ars/Eng travel; it's a normal consequence of being at home and playing higher up the pitch.

          (Transpires Theo isn't on the bench suggesting injury which negates most of the arguments put forward today anyway)

    As a Utd fan, I finally brought Jones & Hernandez in, plus Klasnic whom I'ved captained.
    Yep- still not jumping on the Rooney or any MC bandwagon. Yep- that and the lack of finances may cost me.

    Fingers-crossed that Bergovic (instead of the majority Vorm), Shawcross, Senderos (ouch), Jones
    SWP, Cahill, Watson, Demsey
    Agbonlahor,Klasnic, Hernandez

    do the business.
    Benched Sessegonon, Terry & Cashley
