Feeling the strain with one hour to go? With the comment boards sucking up last minute queries, you can get your answers and opinions a whole lot quicker by setting your browsers over to our live “Matchday Surgery” chatroom.

With this morning’s revelations (to me at least) that Charlie Adam is a major doubt, I’ve some thinking to do and may need your help. One thing I have decided on is to draft in Cesc Fabregas, what with the Scout Debate, the Scout Picks and the captains poll (55% for the Arsenal man) all indicating that I should.

The room is now open and accepting new arrivals – join the support group here.

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

    Morning all.

    If one of Arteta or Kenwyne Jones make it, I can just about field 11 players. Already taken a 4 point hit this week. Is it worth another for Jones -> Hernandez or hold out and hope?

    Rest of midfield/attack is Fabs, VDV, Nasri, Nani, Drogba, Carrol.

    Malouda -> Fabregas.

    Then either...

    Bale -> Nasri
    and (for 4pts)/or
    Shawcross -> Coleman

    or

    Shawcross -> Coleman/Distin/Jagielka.

            Whilst Distin and Jags seem pretty set and the former's been picking up bonus points its hard to look past the attacking potential of Coleman. Obviously there's always a risk that he might not play - but i think his potential going forward and the fact there is not indication he'll be dropped means i'd go with him.

            I've got him as well by the way so thats obviously swaying my advice

      If you have free transfer may be worth considering changing your keeper. Don't fancy Bpool for a clean sheet. Also, word is Adam is struggling, Albrighton suspended and don't fancy many points from Jara/Gohouri so may be worth bringing in Brunt/NZog/other cheap mf or perhaps Coleman/Jags/Sagna/Squillaci/Koscielny for next couple of GWs for one of your subs

    I'm going for a bit of a tactical approach this week.. but not sure which way round to do it.

    Hernandez in for Tevez (quite a fun transfer)

    which free's up money to turn either Malouda or Nani into Fabregas.

    Thing is i don't want to get rid of either of them so i'm going to manoeuvre things to get one of them back later.

    I'll do this by Selling Bent for Carrol (next gameweek) and then turning Albrighton into either Malouda or Nani.

    question is;

    For two weeks, who would you live without - Malouda or Nani

    What makes this doubly interesting is that if i do Malouda any price rises and I wouldn't be able to do it (very very risky) but if i did Nani i'd have .2 to play with.

    Based on this i'm thinking Nani. But part of me's thinking of getting rid of Malouda for good.

    Thoughts?
