The Saturday Surgery

For once we’re treated to a Saturday with some significance – no less than eight Premier League games will be played out, with City, United, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea all turning out to determine our Fantasy fortunes. Nice.

Potentially, we’re in for a bonanza. Some strong fixtures for the aforementioned big guns should see strong returns and some heavy scoring – and with that in mind, there will be plenty of Fantasy managers contemplating last minute squad changes to capitalise.

If you’re still deliberating a decision, or just want to gloat at those who are still floundering – who knows, you may even want to help a few out – then our Saturday Surgery chatroom is open to collect your views, opinions and desperate pleas.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Nani + Bendtner or Chicarito + Sess ?

    I thing the second option will be more stable in a long term...

    Tks!

    Just logged on, has there been any discussion about Scout Andy's tweet? About Rooney being up watching DVDs last night and not being with the team???
