The Saturday Surgery

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.

      everyone has him, and most will lose 0.5 if they kneejerk him out based on this. IF he doesn't play, which he will, not many will be severely affected.

      Its a tough one that but
      Reasons for not playing: since he played 120mins mid week + the managers angry at him for stealing the pen from dorrans.

      Reasons for playing: One of thier best players,Captain, West brom have lost thier last two without him

      I personally transfered in Cabye for him at 11.29 just couldn't afford a 0 ot 1 point so He'll properly score well for you so good luck
