Back from the break – it’s been a testing fortnight and the ticking tock of a Fantasy deadline is most welcome. A Saturday morning deadline does still present the usual dilemmas and, as usual, we’ve opened up our Surgery Chatroom to help you get real-time views to help you through.

Normally, we’d use this post to sum up with the week that’s past but, in a new article, Andy has crashed in to do this in style via his “Catch-up”. Soak it all up here while you prepare for the deadline and the early kick-off at Norwich which triggers our Dugout Discussion.

The Pre-Match Preamble follows…

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

    b) Jenkinson + Guthrie

    c) Ridgewell + Lambert

    Got Foster in goal.

      Lambert + Jenkinson for sure, doubling on WestBrom defence could work but I see Fulham scoring (hopefully berbatov!)

    Thanks Elnino and Balotelli for answers on previous post.

    Sorry to repost as I really need some more comments.
    Trigger WC now and gain immediate returns. Yes or No?

    1: Wipe out -8 pts hits.

    2. Make these 6 changes.
    Davis & Ruddy ->> Foster & Begovic
    Zabaleta ->> Baines
    Nolan & El Ahmadi ->> Ben Arfa & Guthrie
    Torres ->> Berbatov

    Worth it?

    The new team will look like this.
    *Foster – *Begovic
    *Baines – Rangel – Jenkinson – Demel – Clyne
    Hazard – Cazorla – *Ben Arfa – Michu – *Guthrie
    RvP – Tevez – *Berbatov

      Interesting with Berbatov over Fletcher there. What is your reasoning?

      Otherwise it looks great.

        Just base on last week, I think Berbatov looked more dangerous and involved with team more than Fletcher..

    Morning my friends.
    Thoughts on this team?
    For the first time in ages I feel totally confident with my team ages before deadline.
    DDG
    Walker - Jenks - Cashley
    Michu - Carzola (v) - Nolan - Hazard
    Pog - Tev - RVP (c)
    Davis - Demel - Saylor - Kaca

    Sub order and captains OK??

      It would be short term and Arsenals fixtures stiffen after this GW.

    New thoughts on RVP.... there are 3 real possibilities:

    1) He starts and probably gets about 60-70 minutes (plenty)
    2) He doesn't start and united are comfortable so doesn't come on (fine if Caz is VC)
    3) He doesn't start and united need a goal with 20 to go. He comes on and probably scores the winner (OK)
