The Saturday Surgery

There’s no easing us into the Gameweek this time. We’re crashing right in with a North London Derby, as the likes of Santi Cazorla and Gareth Bale carry the baton for Fantasy managers in a game that’s previously delivered goals and spills. With Robin Van Persie’s trip to Carrow Road providing the bookend to our day and with “Luis Suarez versus the Latics” sandwiched in between like a cheeky slice of spicy pastrami, we’ve got a Scooby snack of an afternoon in front of us.

Our Saturday Surgery Chatroom is now open to help you prepare you to digest such skyscraping treats. Get in there now to discuss your deadline dilemmas in real-time and stay frosty for today’s Dugout Discussion. The morning preamble is limbering up as this is typed.

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