For once weโ€™re treated to a Saturday with some significance โ€“ 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, weโ€™re in for a bonanza. Some strong fixtures for the aforementioned big guns should see strong returns and some heavy scoring โ€“ and with that in mind, there will be plenty of Fantasy managers contemplating last minute squad changes to capitalise.

If youโ€™re still deliberating a decision, or just want to gloat at those who are still floundering โ€“ who knows, you may even want to help a few out โ€“ 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.

      I have exactly the same side...except Walcott for Arteta and Jarvis instead of SWP.

      Im also captaining Mata (with Ade vice). Tempted to switch it though.

        Everton have a very good record at City over the last few seasons, but reckon MC will be smarting from dropping two points at the Cottage. So yes, could well score big but not massive. I'm thinking 3-1 maybe...

      I just wish his price had dropped this week while I was on wildcard before I put him back in. Fixtures are good, guaranteed starts and as your cheapy midfielder I still can't see anyone else with better potential. Started considering Bradley Johnson of Norwich but don't know enough about him and think he plays deeper. Dyer obviously also but I have Sinclair so not for me.

          For a front line like that you need to make sacrifices

            I know, but surely sacrificing one of them to not have 2.5 duds (Dyer goes alright) duds would be the way

    Thinking of a 3-5-2 formation this week, but i cant decide to go for it or get Odemwingie in for SWP or Cabaye

    And also cant decide over Simpson or Enrique. I already have Newcastle cover with Krul & Cabaye, but not sure on Enrique’s poor points ratio. The scout has put me in Limbo once again

    Krul (Vorm)
    Bosingwa, Kompany, Enrique, (Simpson)
    Silva, SWP, Cabaye, Mata, Arteta
    Dzecko, Gervinho, (Odemwingie)

      I would play Odem and drop Cabaye. Enrique over Simpson. You are going to have a nightmare most weeks with that mid and forward line (who to bench). Downgrade one of them to someone like Dyer and upgrade another would be my advice.

        Kun may not play the full game but can easily score two goals in a half-time, Rooney is in form and on spot-kicks, RVP is on most set pieces and is due for a big game... big headache...

    Need to drop one of these, but which one?

    Bosingwa (SWA H), Simpson (BLA H), Brown (NOR A), Gabbidon (AVL H)

      Well you obviously have to play the first two, then it's a coin toss between the others. I'm playing Brown in the hope that Norwich choke again, but also reasonable to play your home player against Villa who are struggling to get into goal-scoring form.

    Not confident of Aguero starting with Bayern Munich away next week, or not playing more then 60 minutes against the bogey team.

    Looking to trade in Defoe or Adebayor possibly instead.

    I currently have Darren Bent and a couple million in the bank.

    What are peoples thoughts?
