The Saturday Surgery

The strange summer of October has dawned on us this Saturday morning and, with about an hour to go until Fantasy Premier League locks the doors ahead of gameweek seven, the regularly scheduled programming of the opening of the Saturday Surgery is nigh.

As clocks count down until Fantasy Managers are left but to the fickle fate of twenty rogue squads of Football Players we’re left to deliberate over those last gasp decisions…

Hopefully a week’s worth of Fantasy Football Scout material can help those in a deadline pushing quandary. The “Scout Committee” have put forward a new set of Scout Picks while our members can read in great detail as to why Gareth Bale got the call to arms.

The Weekend Team News is in (Wayne Rooney is fit) and our community have been scrabbling for days to try and decide on who to hand their weekly armband to.

Still in a fluster? Then the Saturday Surgery remains here to let you all duke this one out with fellow Fantasy Managers.

    Toughest captain pick of the season....and vice too!

    So far on Rooney with Mata VC.

    Would a better captain be Agbonlahor, Mata, Silva or Suarez?

    Tempted by Agbonlahor....

      #Breaking News:

      "Manchester City's hopes for the season have been boosted by news that David Silva has been exposed to nuclear waste and has taken on several super-powers. The diminutive playmaker is rumoured to be capable of flight, laser vision and a heightened sense of smell. Due to the events that occured some time in the future, bookmakers have slashed the already short odds on Man City's chances to beat Wigan this afternoon."
