Gameweek 16 is almost upon us, which gives us little time to tinker and make final adjustments to our Fantasy lineups. The Matchday Surgery is here to help in your final hour of need…

It’s a tricky one as well this week, what with our usual favourites involved in unfavourable fixtures. Most weeks an automatic choice, Robin van Persie finds himself in unfamiliar territory in the Gameweek 16 Captain’s Poll. The likes of Demba Ba and Emmanuel Adebayor are leading the way, highlighting how pivotal the captaincy could be this week. Choose carefully.

The Matchday Surgery chatroom is open for business, and has to be your first port of call to aid those agonising last-minute decisions. The preamble follows shortly.

Akers Richard or Akers, as he is known, has been regularly haunting this site since July 2008. He is young and foolish, take what he says with a pinch of salt. Follow them on Twitter

      Ba is top of the captain choice so theres your answer!
      Personally i'd go with Mata or Ba

      Yakubu would by no means be a bad shout. Blackburn are decent at home, West Brom have been pretty miserable all season, the Yak has always has a goal in him.

      The latter is a pretty good one but the former is totally risky.

        the yak is risky... mata will probably get 5, yak is either 2 or 12.

      that's the big question, no one can decide including myself. I just think that if newcastle score Ba will be involved definitely but if Tottenham score you can easily see Ade not involved..

    Away to teams in the top half, Sunderland have played 4, won 0, drawn 1 and lost 3. Scoring 3 conceding 6.

    They have also been beat off Wolves and Norwich on the road.

    Amazing how you can use stats to show one side of a coin 🙂

    next week for a 4 point hit im thinking of doing ade-ba, walters-allen and sess- mata
    would leave me with a front 8 of nani,silva,mata,bale,(allen) and rvp,sturridge and ba up front.
    with ba for acon in jan and spurs up coming DGW, im thinking its not sensible but i really like the look of that front 7 and think they could score really well over x mas, any opinions?

      That front 8 would look good but taking Walters out the week before he has villa and Wigan at home could be daft! Also bare in mind players like mata and silva will get rested over Xmas! On paper it's nice but could backfire!

        just looking at walters and matas history there, bar matas massive 17 point haul a couple of weeks back, walters is every bit as consistant so not as fussed on it now, want rid of sess though

          Well walters averages 7pts at home so id keep him till at least the wildcard in january and then see! Yeah sess hasn't been too great but O'Neill has the ability to get the best out of those types of players. Decisions on midfielders in the 6-7m bracket are so difficult!

      I think Walters is a 'keeper' but depends how much you paid for him.

      Stoke's fixtures are good overall for the foreseeable.

      From GW18 Stoke have:

      VILLA WIGAN Rovers Liverpool WBA United SUNDERLAND Fulham SWANSEA NORWICH

      You could therefore keep Walters even in your WC team.
