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.

        Exactly, Tommy Tynans Knee.

        Plus how about the ticket machines I'm sure they run on electricity too? No PA so if there has to be urgent announcements you can't make them.

        Can't genuinely see how they play can open a stadium to thousands of people with no electricity. You have to call the game if you haven't got power.

    Arsenal: well known for bringing up youth, but not a single english player in their line-up. Does Wenger not realise they are twice as valuable? i thought he was all for making profit on players.

    Ward(c) potentially going the same way as the power at Molineux: fail.

    A shame really, I applaud all those who had the balls to give Ward the armband...

      I think it's just me... I really hope it's fixed in time! I do have dzeko vice captain, but i was looking forward to bricking over a wolves clean sheet/ward goal!

        Would be a right gutter for all those with Ward (potentially playing up front no less!) let alone those brave enough to give him the armband. We'll see... hope it goes ahead
