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.

    2 BIG Questions!

    1) Need to bring in Fellaini - who to go though? Midfield currently Yaya Cazorla Bale Michu.

    2) Is Torres going to pick up some form or is it time to get rid? And any candidates to replace him? I'm reluctant to bring in City strikers given their rotatability....

    Please help!

      I've bottled it and dumped the C on RVP. Way i see it is most will captain him and could lose more by not following than i am likely to gain by risking fletcher. No need to chase differentials yet
