The Saturday Surgery

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.

    Okay so Nani out I guess. So annoying that Silva is 0.1m too much now. Guess I might as well go VDV?

Will be rough watching the city game today but in the next 8 weeks rooney will outscore him. cleverly bandwagon starts here too!!! getting him in straight after the match if he stays on for 90. i called him, he´s mine. no one else can buy him you hear!

      Interesting line up there, I like the new direction. A sort of 4-3-1-2? Hopefully it works out as it'll make Hernandez and Welbeck slightly more attractive while decreasing the points scored for Rooney owners.

      Anyone else having alot of 505 server problems?

          Stoke are one of the best in the league defending set pieces, but that game could be 0-0 wheras Villa will more than likely concede.
