Here’s the usual heads-up to remind all of the early risers that the Saturday Surgery is once again open for those seeking answers to questions in the final minutes before another gameweek deadline closes.

With a mixed bag on the horizon -ranging from blank fixtures for some, to double headers for others – there’s plenty to consider in the last 90 minutes or so. – hence the opening of the chatroom for those searching for a quick-fire yay or nay to any given dilemma.

    Walker to start today? Cuellar back from injury.

    And is it stupid to keep Djourou even if you won't get three defenders if he don't play?

    2. Nani - rotation risk?

    Dilemma here.
    Rival is 60 points ahead. He is an Arsenal fan so will more than likely be captaining RVP. Was considering Luiz captain, but can't see him outscoring RVP. Also have Lampard but don't know what to expect from him.

    All opinions welcome.

        I think bale short term, but vdv long term because he's going to come into form, i smell it!

        And when vdv is in form, he's in EXPLETIVE form

          Got both. selling one this week, the other (probably) the next. Keeping Bale gives me the option of selling elsewhere next week.

      Bale. I'm probably taking out VDV. Any thoughts on the above?

    In a serious predicament.
    Will bring in Malouda for Nani but do I now keep Ashley Young?

        Mentioned above but thanks for your comment on that a few pages back mate.
        Will go for it based on that.
        My rival has Nani and Malouda but I can't get Malouda without mucking about getting rid of Joe Hart.
        Dont want to waste a transfer on a GK as I have kept Szczesny.

      keep young, are you sure about malouda though? he will cause you problems with rotation.

        From my point of view my rival has Malouda so no probs from a losing ground point of view.
        Just have to hope Nani goes quiet in the coming weeks.
