With under an hour to go before the gameweek deadline descends on us, we’ve opened up the Saturday Surgery to offer a cosy haven for those looking for late late advice in a hurry.

With double gameweek investments to ponder, why not pop in to get an instant view on the current Fantasy Football buzz, fire your question into the chatroom ether and see what pearls of wisdom are sent back. Dugout Discussion follows for today’s 12.45 kick-off at Old Trafford.

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

    I really feel for anyone who hasn't captained either Dempsey or Zamora on Wednesday night; it'll be a hard game to watch otherwise. Fulham are more than capable of winning well and one or the other is capable of rattling up a double figure score.

    Speaking of which, is anyone as surprised as me to see Fulham priced at evens for that game? Their excellent home record coupled with Bolton's dire away performances makes them 8/13 shots in my book.

        Gonna re-up this once more.

        Everyone seems to have taken issue with Bale and Parker getting the PFA and FWA player of the year awards, so I thought I’d do a little FFS poll. There’s no shortlist, you can vote for whoever you please, provided they’ve stepped onto a Premier League pitch this year. I’ll try and re-up this every so often so everyone gets a vote, so there’s no rush to do it now if you can’t make up your mind.

        So far the voting is as follows:

        Charlie Adam – 7
        Tevez - 7
        Nani – 6
        Vidic – 3
        Kompany – 2
        Parker – 1
        Carroll – 1
        Barton – 1
        Van der Vaart – 1
        Nasri - 1
        Nolan - 1
        Van der Saar - 1

        So, who do you think has been player of the year?

          absolutely shocked baines isn't in there. Over the year nani has been the best BUT the reason why i'm top of my mini-league is RVP.

          I'm going with RVP. As a spurs fan this is hard 🙂

            Van Persie has been awesome this season. Had he stayed fit from August onwards, we probably wouldn't even be debating player of the year.

                yes, yes, yes. We've been over this before.

                I suppose it's a bit like saying Pele would still be the best player in the world if he wasn't 60.

                  Indeed, but the main difference is i still don't think RvP is the player you make him out to be even if he did stay fit. He's very good, but not Pele!

          do you read 'the game' every monday in the times? they did a similar poll last monday, before the award was announced, and vidic got the majority of the votes form the journos they asked. they all seemed pretty unanimous that it was a much harder choice than normal though

            I was just curious about how people would vote on here. I expected someone like Adam to get a lot of votes - the same way Scott Parker did in the FWA.

                +1 Especially with no DM playing. Maybe SAF is trying to make Rodwell look amazing today by playing Gibbo therefore sanctioning a transfer with the Glazers? Conspiracy....

                  Probably Gibson's last chance to prove he's got a future at United.

                      If they shoot like Gibson does, I'd rather they made another 5 passes.

                    The last chance should have been 20 odd games ago. He isn't even a sh*t young player anymore, he's just sh*t.

                      he's a lot older than I thought! I always thought he was 20 or something. He's almost 24.

            Good call on Vidic rested, I don't remember who was. I knew it Nani is gonna start, but this is weak lineup IMO. Giggs to come and save it instead of dreadful Nani 🙂

            Here is hoping.

            Seems to be some confusion as to whether Carew can play or not! With Walters in my team I'm inclined to agree with Villa.

                only 4 GWs left, nani will probably miss one of next 3 two of which are away. time to sell, thanks for a full year of service nani, but my loyalty is non existent. 🙂
