With just over an hour to go before the Fantasy deadline, our Matchday Surgery chatroom is now open to take us up to the Dugout Discussion for today’s early kick-off at Carrow Road.

Those Fantasy managers still wrestling with dilemmas can now banter in real-time with overs having soaked up our coverage ahead of the Gameweek.

That includes this morning’s Differentials from Big Dunc of course, working in tandem with Sir Paulos’ Scout Picks, delivered directly from the dubious panel that is the “Scout Selection Committee”.

Around these two regulars we’ve brought you mid-term punts to consider with Watchlists on Darren Bent, Joey Barton, Bobby Zamora and Steven Fletcher. Our members have enjoyed analysis of Landon Donovan’s prospects, plus our first “Versus” article that matched Stephane Sessegnon against Stoke’s Jon Walters. On top of all this, we’ve been beavering away to provide you with the very best team news section we can muster, complete with our predicted lineups.

Track back if you’ve missed any of that and then find your way to the Surgery Chatroom. Today’s Preamble stroll is just around the corner.

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

    Think I'm going to do my one game punt on Huth and play 4-4-2

    Not convinced Torres is a great one week punt at all, Norwich or not!

    Bent of Fletcher are only other options without taking points hit but that game could be low scoring.

    My instincts keep pointing me back in Huth's direction.

    Quick point for anyone considering Ramires or Sturridge:

    I don't think Ramires played in Sturridge's position last week but, rather, Chelsea went 4231 with Ramires on the right. Sturridge plays on the right, but further forward (Meireles seemed to be in behind Torres).

    This change might have come out of necessity with Sturridge lacking match fitness, or it could indicate a change in formation for Chelsea.

    If it has any future significance it means; a) Ramires is not being played as an OOP midfielder and b) Sturridge is not guaranteed a starting role. I expect them to go back to normal but I wouldn't advise against waiting to see how they line up today before making any moves if possible.
