Back to life, back to normality. Gameweek 8 is finally here as domestic bliss returns to our weekends. With decisions still to be made, our Saturday Surgery Chatroom is now open to collect your thoughts, advice and aimless banter.

If you’ve been hibernating during the break, don’t fret, we’ve collected a fortnight’s coverage here on the Scout in one handy post – view the bumper edition of the Catch-up right here. The Pre-Match preamble is warming up…

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

      I'll go with my gut and say Lambert. You're talking about one player who's going to get 15 goals this year versus another who will get 2 or 3.

    Michu owners

    Who's selling, and for who? Who's keeping

    I'm keeping him, mainly as Ramirez is injured so I need to ship him, and I think Michu is a better prospect than Adam Johnson atm.

    Jussi (Begovic)
    Baines, Rafael, Jenkinson (Wilson, Demel)
    Mata, Santi, Bale, Pieenar (Sterling)
    Ba, Tevez, Berbatov

    Help with my WC please am thinking maybe this week to have Suarez instead of Ba and then next week bring Ba back for his good fixtures.

    Does my back 5 look good, jenkinson will be swapped out for Sagna/Gibbs when he is back
