The Saturday Surgery

This is a Saturday morning cursed by uncertainty, even before we’ve confronted the void presented by the daunting Gameweek 29. With potential injuries and very real suspensions biting into our squads, few Fantasy managers will be approaching this morning’s deadline without at least one of two concerns rattling around in their heads.

Our Saturday Surgery chatroom is here to welcome those currently toying with quandaries, offering a platform to consult your peers in real-time as we get closer to crossing the white line.

With no early kick-off, our Dugout Discussion will follow around 2.30 but the preamble is limbering up before that – we rinse through the morning papers in just over half an hour.

Dawson, Cameron, Nasty (Davies, Mari)

Mata, Michu, Sissoko, Bale, Afro

RVP, Aguero(C) (Pog)

Save transfer or RVP & Pog > Suarez & Hernandez for -4? ....BUT then which midfielder to bench?????

Hi, long time lurker, first time poster.

It seems a lot of people are still convinced RVP will start. Unfortunately Fergie only said 'feature' which might only mean feature in the squad. Managers are lucky to have their plans for games work out and if RVP is on the bench there is no guarantee he comes off it. Fergie has long told white lies in pressers pre-games so don't get your hopes up.

I strongly advise you to sell RVP this week as he has a blank the next and most likely will only briefly feature today.

If you can't captain RVP in a home game to Norwich then it is time to say goodbye.

Right, need to get Pog out now because I've got other pressing matters to attend to next week.

Got 5.7 to play with so it's either Graham or Remy.

What do we reckon?

        What will probably happen is Suarez and Lambert flop and Van Persie will score twice in a 20 minute cameo!

  Not likely at all. UEFA have to give approval to play it midweek as there are CL games that week. At this stage you have to assume it won't happen.
