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.

      I'd go with Ade, certain to play and his stats are decent enough to mean this could possibly be a high scoring week for him. Silva could start on the bench considering their midweek fixture.

    Looks Suarez is starting, so should I due the last minute panic 4 point hit?

    Suarez to Aguero? Yah or Nah? I persuaded myself that Aguero will most certainly start.

      I think Aguero will score points than Suarez in this Gameweek but not sure that he will get 4 points more than Suarez.So I would rather stick with Suarez as yo cannot reclaim your lost points.

      If you are that uncertain keep the 4 points. Most of the time you end up with more points by doing nothing in my experience.
