It’s hard to believe we’re in to double figures for the season already, but the Gameweek Ten deadline is looming large. With less than an hour to go, the Saturday Surgery swings it’s doors open for another session…

If you’ve long since hit the transfer button and selected your captain, then go pop the kettle on and wait for the points to roll in. However, if you’ve left it late, then you have some work to do. There’s no need to panic though, as we’ve got all the information you need just a click away.

The Team News page should be you’re first port of call, making sure that your squad is available and/or expected to play. That, accompanied with the Injuries and Bans table, should help you identify where you need to make adjustments.

Once you know your duds, it’s time to find some replacements. A combination of the Scout Picks and The Watchlist (right-had side of the home page near the bottom) should help fill those voids.

Lastly, the Captain’s Poll in the centre column of the home page will guide you to make that final decision. Tottenham and Man City players currently lead the way in that department.

The action starts at noon, we wish you the very best.

    all the talk is of Aguero not starting/playing this gwk. However, surely he's just as much of a risk next gwk too? (just 3 days after champions league game rather than 4 days before for this gwk?)

      As much as I like Aguero, the rotation risk with all City attacking options, with exception of Silva, have put me off investing in them.

    Haha, I have a doubt but milner will play in CL in midweek and nasri only didn't play last 2 games because A, he played 2 internationals and B, man u away mancini wanted milner in to defend a bit more than nasri would.

    I have 1 free transfer and got 0.2 in bank. I am willing to take a hit.

    My team:
    Vorm, Krul
    Kompany, Jose Enrique, De Laet, S Taylor, Ward
    Nani, Silva, Van Der Vaart, Eagles, Dyer
    Suarez, Sturridge, Aguero

    Thinking of skippering Balotelli ahead of VDV. Is Balotelli the only person mad enough to do this, or is it a reasonable punt.

    Kompany Walker Simspon

    My prediction for today...Many people who have captained VDV instead of Aguero - mainly because of the doubts surrounding the latters participation this week - will involuntarily evacuate their bowels when he's announced as a starter this afternoon.

    Last minute RMT please.

    Vorm (Krul)
    Brown - Kompany - Naylor (Simpson , De Laet)
    Nani - VDV (c) - Silva - Mata (N.Dyer)
    Adebayor - Bendtner - RVP

    I, for now, decided to go with the home team and play Brown over Simpson.
    But still considering... Newcastle are in very good form even on away match.
