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 spent 11.6 on Torres. He's at home to bottom of the table. Gotta put my mouth where my money is and give him the armband.

    balls, I'm 0.1m short on Coleman > Rafael

    Got Konch & Nani but want some more Liv/ManU coverage before the DGWs, so my options w/2 frees are:
    a) Alcaraz/Coleman > Rafael and Drogba > Bent/Torres
    b) Cahill > Gerrard and Drogba > Bent
    c) Drogba > Torres

    oh what to do?

        True, leaning away from Torres with Tevez/Drogs/Carroll for now. Will need to either massively upgrade or massively downgrade Cahill shortly though, (got everyone I want in his price bracket) so tempted to make room for Gerrard.

    Robinson
    Rafael - Baines - Huth
    Bale-Nasri-Nani-MGP
    Elmander-Carroll-Drogba

    Entirely un-selfish predictions for the day:
    City to slip up (again) at home - Tevez to have a barren day
    VDV off early, either injury or precaution in a 2-1 win
    Liverpool to be frustrated by a stubborn wolves side in a low-scoring draw
    Drogba to hit form with a brace as Chelsea win 3-2 after coming form behind
    Arsenal to be the days big winners, putting 5 past Wigan

        It's all a bit hingeing on getting Fabs in for Nasri next gw. I'm loathe to get rid of Foster but already have Krul and Newcastle-Sunderland match up quite well. Had a look at Adam and think I can just about squeeze him in downgrading Malouda to Bale or something. Mostly financial reasons for getting in Barton as he'd leave me a few quid to muck about with.
