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.

          I needed 0.3 from somewhere to fund Johnson, so yeah, Foster.

          It's not the end of the world, I lost a bit of value on him but Birmingham's games until the second wildcard are tragic.

    Was going to bring in Tevez today, i had the money but he rised with 0.1, and now my plan is fked. I knew i should have visited a internet cafe yesterday evening :<

    Is it worth doing Gcahill to Konchesky and Elmander to Tevez for a 4 point hit?
    Or Cashley to Skrtel and Elmander to Tevez?

        Yeah, i just like the idea of having Gerrard in as a differential, would have captained him aswell. Also would have allowed me to get Fabs in for Nasri. But i'll play it safe and see how Drogs gets on, 4 great fixtures, should be some points for him.

    Help needed guys.

    It's either Jaask to Gordon or Jaask to Reina. Jaask to Gordon would mean Coleman to Konchesky next week in order to afford Cahill to Fabs. Jaask to Reina would mean I can keep Coleman (i want to play Cole and Kolarov for the next 3) and could only get Fabs in on wildcard when I downgrade Cole to Rafael gw24. *breathes*
