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.

    City and United seem to stop going overload and to stay very tight at the back. United seem to grind out the 1-0's and 2-0's but Citeh just can't seem to make the chances when teams park the bus unlike United who manage them extra points away to teams like Stoke,Wolves etc.

    Worth getting in Silva before his price rise? Would mean taking out either Bale Sess Demps Barfa or Valencia

    Which one?

        Evra was definitely brought down - most blatant of the four I thought!

        Valencia's was the only one which was slightly debatable, contact was minimal but Walters had a hold of him as he was bearing down on goal, would be given more often than not I think.

    Looking at his GW history, perhaps he's worth playing in every Swansea home game?

    Have both BAE and Enrique , both bought cheaply. I know they both have fairly poor fixtures but they both been good to me.
    BAE in particular gets forward so often , there always going to be assists.
    And Enrique , liverpool could be getting their act together and are fairly good defensively .

      33 with RVP (c), C. Clark and Sessegnon to play. Sinclair and Enrique on the bench and Bale v.c. so I'm wouldn't mind if a player misses out.

    Aguero - not sure whether to bring him in or not. Fixtures are too good and I am sucker for fixtures.

    Surely It has to be an improvement from Ade and Sturridge.
