With just over an hour to go before the deadline, the Saturday Surgery opens for Fantasy Managers to stew on their last minute dilemmas…

Before those final few beeps buzz and usher in a new game week, we’ll need to assess our final options. From the Scout Picks to the Watchlist articles, via some tasty treats for our paying Members, there has been all sorts to pore over this last week. You haven’t got long to digest the lot if you’ve been trailing behind.

For some last minute cramming, get yourself into our Saturday Surgery chatroom. The “Pre-match Preamble” follows shortly.

        He has gone for Rooney for me. I know Rooney has no form, but back up front, great fixtures, no CL to worry about so HAS to do well in the league, Young and Welbeck back, and hardly any rotation due to lack of strikers

        Aguero has done ok for me but nothing amazing. Too many scoring options at City

    So, anyone else going with Evans? My reasoning being that:
    I don't think SAF will play Jones at centre back, therefore he's only really got Smalling as comp in the middle.
    He's cheap, so less annoying if he's rotated
    If he doesn't start he's less likely to come on as a sub than say Smalling
    Make sense?

      Seems like you're trying to hard to justify it, ergo not a good decision. I got Evans in a few backs, didn't play a min, and promptly got rid last gameweek.

      I'm now considering Smalling....

      I've got the Rooney feeling this week too. United usually good after a defeat and he will be under pressure to perform.
      I think a gamble on Vorm is smart but not essential
      Would definity play Benter over both Walters and Eagles, I'd put Eagles on the bench this week

      I would say Shawcross as he is the only one at home BUT it is against Spurs who are in red hot form, maybe Moses in case he finally decides to do something

    Bale, Silva, Sinclair
    RVP, Suarez and sturridge

    I am thinking of shippin gout Suarez and Moses for Nani/or adam and Welbeck/or ba and take a 4 point hit - what do people think? I reckon Suarez will notch today so might keep transfers for next week to see how his ban comes on

        I know what you mean, clinging on to it - he aint scored in 5 but then Welbeck hasn't been playing so that leaves Ba who is going well

          Ba heads off to the AfCoN in the new year... I say hold Suarez for today and if he cops a ban (for flipping off at Fulham) then sell with confidence during the week.

          Suarez is more likely to produce than Moses so I'd be moving the Latic on for Nani/Adam.

          Suarex to Ba would be good and then you have options with cash to strengthen midfield or replace Stud depending on how he goes...
