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.

      He'll either play or not be in the squad. Pretty much everyone has him so it's of little significance to be honest.

      Hopefully he'll play for the jokes on the people who transferred him out based on a patchy tweet from his mrs.

      A Newcastle player, who never plays and is unlikely to play. He's priced at 4.0m and is deemed an attractive proposition for a bench warming midfielder for FPL managers who play 3 across the middle. All fine for now, but will bite once suspensions/injuries kick in. Hence the squad size
