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.

    Your name's an anagram of something unfunny too, mob.

    It's an interesting debate. Is it okay to be offensive by anagram? I'm not sure.

          if it offends one person i guess by definition it's offensive. where's this anagram, i don't see it?

              no i see it. that's the best when the anagram makes sense too. e.g mother in law = woman hitler, or george bush = he bugs gore

        I've 2 selection decisions to make, could use some opinions on them.

        Hutton or Coleman in defence and gamst pederson or elmander.

        Logic says pederson as elmanders away to chelsea but the way they're playing and blackburn aren't amazing away, its hard to call.
