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.

    Anyone think that RVP ain’t such a smart move as captain? I have a feeling Fergie won’t start him. Big Champs League game midweek and it’s Wigan at home… It’s not as if he needs to… May bring him on for 20 minutes or so if he needs to and bang goes the value in skippering him…

    Am far more tempted by Torres or Tevez… Anyone else agree…?
