The Saturday Surgery

With just over an hour to go before the Fantasy deadline, our Matchday Surgery chatroom is now open to take us up to the Dugout Discussion for today’s early kick-off at Carrow Road.

Those Fantasy managers still wrestling with dilemmas can now banter in real-time with overs having soaked up our coverage ahead of the Gameweek.

That includes this morning’s Differentials from Big Dunc of course, working in tandem with Sir Paulos’ Scout Picks, delivered directly from the dubious panel that is the “Scout Selection Committee”.

Around these two regulars we’ve brought you mid-term punts to consider with Watchlists on Darren Bent, Joey Barton, Bobby Zamora and Steven Fletcher. Our members have enjoyed analysis of Landon Donovan’s prospects, plus our first “Versus” article that matched Stephane Sessegnon against Stoke’s Jon Walters. On top of all this, we’ve been beavering away to provide you with the very best team news section we can muster, complete with our predicted lineups.

Track back if you’ve missed any of that and then find your way to the Surgery Chatroom. Today’s Preamble stroll is just around the corner.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      Pretty similar to my team posted just below so I'd say yes, how about Shotton for Gabiddon?

    Bale, Silva, Walters, Sessegnon, Valencia or Dempsey

        Yeah that's what I'm leaning towards, I'd quite like to start Ben Arfa but it's a massive risk when he probs won't start. Caulker'll probs end up coming off the bench anyways when Shotton doesn't play.

        Cheers

        I think he's been a bit ropey in fairness, he's usually solid and highly under-rated by fans of opposing clubs.

        Playing with inexperienced defenders and keepers changing on a regular basis, obviously hasn't helped though.
