It’s FA Cup Final day. Feels odd doesn’t it? Like, as neutrals, we should be more excited. More on that to come, in the meantime, we’ve got another Fantasy deadline to get through. Our Saturday Surgery Chatroom is now open to serve your shouts and queries as the minutes tick by.

Just in case you’re playing catch-up, here’s a handy rundown of our key features brought to you this week…

  • Sir P’s Scout Pick write-up arrived on Friday tea-time to bring you the Committee’s view on player picks for the Gameweek.
  • The great Scot then doubled up by filling in for Big Dunc to provide this morning’s slice of Differentials.
  • Anorak put down his flask and notebook to cast an eye over the potential intervention of the Men in Black this weekend.
  • This week’s Watchlists put the old favourite Victor Moses in focus, while United’s Nani also got some love.
  • Andy rinsed through the Captain Poll results to offer an assessment of the armband options yesterday afternoon.
  • Akers brought us news of the Paddy Power Cup Quarter-Finals, with four Fantasy managers going into this weekend with all to play for.

Digest that little lot and then prepare for the penultimate pre-amble on the season, that’s warming up to arrive in just thirty minutes. When you’re done, pop into the Surgery chatroom to share you musings prior to another deadline.

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

    Anyone think that the Man Utd match might be tight as Man Utd won't want to lose? It was 0-1 in the reverse fixture, although Swansea were quite tight at home back then.

    Well rightly or wrongyl have captained RVP after several weeks with Cisse being the man with the band. I still reckon he'll score against City, but as there is only one game today and most will go RVP including my rival who is 23 ahead I think I'll play safe... 🙂

      S3 Anyday, everday.

      I'm a S 2 owner myself and have used the Sensation and I recommend S2 over it. Plus, now they've even increased the pixels from 480X800 to 720X1080 which was probably the only gripe I have with the S2

      i had a Desire and was impressed with the quality so i went for the One X. fantastic phone with all you could ever really need.

      Samsung is now suffering from what HTC suffered from. the S2 was groundbreaking but the S3 is only a small step forward from that.

      and the S3 styling is just not for me.

    Back to the old taking hits for defenders debate - is it worth it in my case?

    Verm, Evans, Skrtel, Simpson, Caulker. Two might not even play, another two with undesirable fixtures 'til the end of the season.

    Thinking Simpson > Walker, thoughts?

          I dont have him, but my competition both do. I'm rather concerned. His golden boot still isn't safe, so I can see him going all out to bang them in. However, I do have Verm, and have captained Nani, so HOPEFULLY I won't live to regret it.
