The Saturday Surgery

Fantasy managers’ final preparations are in full swing, undeterred by the frosty conditions. We’ve just over the hour to go before another Fantasy deadline is upon us and, at present, it seems we’re still clinging to a full Premier League programme like it’s a warm thermos of bovril. Our Saturday Surgery Chatroom is now open to ease you into the final hour, offering a sounding board for your last minute tinkerings.

With no early kick-off, the Dugout Discussion will begin around 2.45 prior to today’s three o’clock fixtures. A thermal-clad pre-match preamble is on the way.

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

      Save the transfer. A is a decent option, not much point in B right now. May as well save the transfer, do that one next week and use the point something million extra then.

      I'd be wary of that. He was great on Tuesday but that may be because he was playing further up as pod was not on pitch... I put him in myself last night and am now wishing I had done bale to Santi instead.

      How many Arsenal players have you got? I only have 2 and I'm not putting a 3rd in. There's every chance of them drawing blanks against Chelsea. So even if you have one captained it's only +4 points. Mata, Ba and Pienaar are all good picks. However if you are desperate to get another ARS player in i'd get rid of Ba.
