It’s breathless stuff this Christmas fixture list. The games keep coming thick and fast and it’s getting difficult to clear the head of the all the variables and avoid making a Fantasy faux pas or two.

Rest and rotation are the big concern now, plus of course those little knocks and niggles that go unreported until the teamsheets arrive. A strong bench comes in handy and some last minute advice on how to juggle resources never goes amiss. We’ve opened our Matchday Surgery chatroom so you can soak some up in real-time prior to that 11.30 deadline.

The room will close just after 12pm with Dugout Discussion on the first 3pm kick-off to follow.

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

          N'Zogbia was actually dogshit against us last season. He missed a load of chances and messed up a lot.

          That's just all overshadowed by his last minute winner.

    my plan is
    no transfers for GW23, already have liverpool players
    Use two free transfers in GW24 plus maybe 4 or 8 point hits to bring in players with DGWs.
    Then use WC for GW 27 to bring in players with DGWs that week and the weeks after.

    Good plan?

      Why? Why on earth are people suprised by that team. They have a big strong squad so he's not going to field the same 11, he can rotate to keep the squad happy. Just like Fergie will tonight with either Rooney or Berba, and just like Wenger will tomorrow.

      No, due to the small fu&@&g brain that Mancini has! I hope they lose now. For f$&@s sake he even tool him off early in last match.
