We are just over an hour away from another Fantasy deadline, swiftly followed by our first delicious slice of weekend action as Arsenal take on Chelsea in the early kick-off. We’ll cover that with our Dugout Discussion later but, for now, we’ve opened up the Surgery Chatroom to capture your views and opinions as you carry out last minute tinkering.

Don’t forget, to soak up all our key coverage from the site over the past seven days you can direct your eyes at Andy’s Catch-Up article published earlier this morning.

The Pre-Match Preamble is on its way shortly…

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

          I am benching him this week, I will play him the next 2, if he doesnt produce, he is gone.

          I have Baines, Howard & Fellaini, I am worried Fellaini will play deeper when jelly & Mirallas are playing together upfront...

    Guys, need help….

    I NEVER take hits, but this week my knee has been jerking, and I’ve done an -8 point hit… some of it is long term strategies being brought into play a couple of weeks earlier than anticipated due to injuries.

    Current team now is:

    Begovic (Friedel)
    Baines, Ivanovic, Clark (Cuellar, Harte)
    Walters, Hazard, Ben Arfa, Larsson, Michu
    Fletcher (c), Tevez (Berba)

    My dilemma is do I start Cuellar instead of Tevez?

    Both are doubts. I know this. I’m leaning towards starting Cuellar as he has a tasty home game, and if he is injured then he won’t figure at all, activating my substitue, Carlito. I doubt very much that Carlito will start, but may well come on for 30-20 minutes.

    Decisions, decisions. What do you all think? Start Cuellar or Tevez?

      Start Tevez Id say. But I have to start both so I might not be the best person to answer this.

    Hmmmm Mancini comments regarding Tevez (http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/sep/28/roberto-mancini-carlos-tevez-fitness?newsfeed=true) aren't very conclusive. He was dropped last week due to lack of fitness. No guarantee he'll start this week after playing 120.
