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.

                Bob saying *sob sob* Bet you can't pick the man utd team is correct. But i'm not a man utd fan. I'm a spurs fan and can guess with a greater degree of probability on a weekly basis who we're playing. Just think their was no thought as per the previous week.

        Unfortunately it probably won't matter anyway as our central midfield is so shite that the likes of Nani will be lucky to get anything more than a cleansheet point..... 🙁

      You only have Rooney, and he's starting.

        Yeah, but Gibson and Anderson (in a four) are unlikely to feed the Rooney..... 🙁

        I've benched Carroll....

        Only cos someone last night posted up a Liverpool team for today and I decided to believe him, he said it was from a reliable source so hopefully he is right. 🙂

            Just wasn't starting, not sure if he was on the bench. I wouldn't normally believe it but he is around quite a lot so I thought he might be quite reliable, Morrisey or something.
