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.

    Nani probably will drop now. But if you can't be sure when he'll start what use is he?

    That was a lot of the reasoning behind me selling him for VDV this week. VDV doesn't get dropped.

    Rooney will suffice for my Man Utd attacking options now.

      With Young out, I didn't imagine that Nani would be dropped.. So, I spent some hits to get VDV in without losing Nani. It seems a waste of hits.. ðŸ™

      A few years ago we got the Liverpool team sheet early and I saw Alonso benched, so I benched him.

      Nevertheless, he came on and scored. 😡

    I've done the last minute panic 4point hit Suarez to Aguero. So be it, it will be fun. In the next 2 games, Kun surely will outscore Suarez by 4 points and the risk of Aguero going wild and a lot of the lads having him as captain, was huge. I could go way down on the rankings. Now I am with ultimate City cover. 3 there best players in my team. Aguero will soon become Rooney, cause City fixtures are gonna stiff and it seems that nobody is safe from rotation, bar Rooney in the Utd team. I was also with 0.0 in the bank for bringing Rooney and I was gonna be forced to do the transfer early cause Suarez probably gonna fall this week again, or maybe even tonight. So the team is 3 City, 3 Swa, 2 Che, 2, Ars, 2 New:

    ---------Vorm-----------
    Naylor--Bos (banned BTW)-- Kompany
    DVD (c)--Silva---Brunt----Dyer
    --RVP -- Aguero --- Sturridge

    bench: Given, Ramsey, Saylor, Simpson

    P.S. I am gonna bet on WBA win later 😉

    United coverage is seeming hard to come by now.
    Dont wanna break up my team for Rooney and all the rest seem pretty poor choices, Hernandez maybe?

      I'm in the same position, I know no Utd cover is going to hurt me soon, but I have nobody of the value to get Utd in even for a 4pt hit.

    AppleBonkers. Petrov in preference to Dyer or Ramsey. Interesting choice. I hope you do almost as well as me.

      was musical chairs with those 3 all week, even had none of them in and was going 5-2-3 until 11:28 this morning. petrov's away record is poor but it's swansea, despite their home record they're still swansea on paper. oh and dyer, he's 1 goal away from doing a moses (0 goals and 0 assists) so i hope i'm playing the odds by predicting a 2/3 pointer for him
