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.

        Obviously just Dzeko I need to worry about because Barkley isn't going to do anything. Still have Kompany and Silva from City so should be alright.

        If I can get away with Dzeko doing nothing today it will be worthwhile imo.

          I'm thinking of C Dzeko and I have Aguero. Hasn't failed to score or assist in every game he's played this season. VC either Ag or Roo.

    Good Morning! Opinions welcome if anybody has time

    1 Begovic or Vorm? (I've gone Begovic so far as he is at home though I expect both to conceed)

    2 As Sturridge is injured, Simpson or Dyer for my 11th player? (again I've gone for the home player but open to criticism)

    3 SWP a crazy choice of captain ahead of Rooney, Nani, Silva and Aguero?
