The big guns return, with a full cast of Fantasy assets on show in a Gameweek which, on paper, promises big profits. The likes of Robin Van Persie, Gareth Bale, Juan Mata and Luis Suarez look to have the opportunity to deliver, which the emphasis perhaps switching back to the heavy-hitter after Gameweek 29’s differentials had their say.

With just over 90 minutes to go before the Fantasy deadline, our Saturday Surgery Chatroom is now open to provide you with real-time feedback on your views and dilemmas.

The Dugout Discussion will follow at 12.30 prior to the early kick-off at Goodison, while a pre-prepared “Preamble†is on its way in just over half an hour.

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

    rvp + sissoko
    or
    rooney + caz/haz

    keeping in mind the second option would allow me to have an extra big hitter in mf for the dgw's

      I always favour RVP over Rooney but the DGW point is important. Going to sit on the fence on this one, if you go B do it with Cazorla

      That's a tough one! The extra big hitter would be very useful as long as you are confident Rooney will start.

      Still undecided eh? I think I'm 95% sure I'm going with Rooney. Have you decided which of Benteke or Sturridge to get rid of yet? Logic says Studge but Liverpool has SUCH good fixtures for the next 4...

    Did RVP>Suarez two weeks ago and it came of big. I was planning on doing the reverse transfer this week but can't find the heart to take Suarez out. So I took a -4

    Fletcher > RVP
    Fellani > Downing
    Nastastic > Hill

    Good idea?

      Lukaku a better bet to score. He is in good form.

        Bale,Suarez,Mata and Rooney are all good choices for captain. You picked Mata. Now, hope he does not suffer from Rafatation.
