Crazy times. The midweek deadline stretched our resources to the limit as the teamsheets caused a frenzy around the 7.30 deadline. We remain alive and kicking, though, and our Dugout Discussion chatroom is now open to take us into the action.

Hopefully your final tweaks were submitted in time and now you can sit back and take in the action, shaing the anguish and joy with your Fantasy Football peers in real-time.

The teamsheets are interesting to say the least. United are forced to hand Ben Amos his debut with both Anders Lindegaard and David De Gea unavailable and Stoke have laid down the gauntlet – both Kenwyne Jones and Peter Crouch start. Elsewhere at Old Trafford, Danny Welbeck makes way for Dimitar Berbatov, while Paul Scholes comes into the midfield.

Andre Villas-Boas keeps Gary Cahill on the bench at the Liberty, despite the absence of John Terry. Jose Bosingwa starts then, with Branislav Ivanovic partnering David Luiz. Swansea recall their regular first teamers in opposition.

Everton choose to star with Tony Hibbert at centre-back and he’ll be up against Sergio Aguero who returns to the City lineup, along with Vincent Kompany.

Gareth Bale is safely nestled in the Spurs lineup as he overcomes a thigh injury to start. He lines up alongside Niko Kranjcar who is given a rare start.

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

    The one thing I regret is punting on Huth over Enrique...

    I kinda had a feeling he wasn't going to do anything, but the excitement I got from the thought of him scoring was too much for me...

    That bad decision clouds the good call to keep Baines for one more week... oh well...

      Attacking subs: Johnson, Kolarov on for Milner, Lescott. Sensible to me. De jong on for Barry was a straight switch and Barry had a bad game. City played better and created more after the subs. Just playing a team that parked the bus with 6 at the back that's all.

    Her Diary:

    Tonight, I thought my husband was acting weird. We had made plans to
    meet at a nice restaurant for dinner. I was shopping with my friends
    all day long, so I thought he was upset at the fact that I was a bit
    late, but he made no comment on it. Conversation wasn't flowing, so I
    suggested that we go somewhere quiet so we could talk. He agreed, but
    he didn't say much. I asked him what was wrong; He said, 'Nothing.' I
    asked him if it was my fault that he was upset. He said he wasn't
    upset, that it had nothing to do with me, and not to worry about it.

    On the way home, I told him that I loved him. He smiled slightly, and
    kept driving. I can't explain his behavior. I don't know why he didn't
    say, 'I love you, too.' When we got home, I felt as if I had lost him
    completely, as if he wanted nothing to do with me anymore. He just
    sat there quietly, and watched TV. He continued to seem distant and
    absent. Finally, with silence all around us, I decided to go to bed. About
    15 minutes later, he came to bed. But I still felt that he was
    distracted, and his thoughts were somewhere else.



    He fell asleep - I cried. I don't know what to do. I'm almost sure that his thoughts are
    with someone else. My life is a disaster. !!

    Why did i captain Van Der Vaart?! What was I thinking?

    Arrys' Deadline day update (BBC Sport)

    Spurs boss Harry Redknapp says he tried to sign Juventus winger Milos Krasic this week but he only wanted the Serbia international on loan and the Italian side were only interested in a permanent deal. Redknapp also says he could not let Steven Pienaar goes back to Everton because he has too many injuries and has revealed that Wolves want to sign Sebastien Bassong but he will need to complete a deal for an unnamed defender before he lets that one go through.
