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.

        if sunderland scores, fletcher will probably be part of the goal. plus if u check he gets the full bonus most of the times

        "...GW8 Stoke (h) – don’t expect points here. He’s almost always rested against Stoke and on the 3 occasions he has played he hasn’t scored..."

        "...The Stoke thing surprised me slightly – SAF obviously doesn’t fancy him in those games. One of the 3 he played was last game of the season when the title was on the line, other than that he almost always rests him. That lovely blue GW8 on the ticker shouldn’t fool you… "

          Well, you're going to be playing three at the back (benching Harte and Tomkins) who have good fixtures, and your front eight look good.. maybe just use one and ship Federici? Save a transfer for next week when you might need it more?

    Wold Foster and Clyne/Demel out, Mannon and Wisdom in be too short sighted? It would be for free, and give a good team this week, but then my supposed plan to get rid of Rangel and Michu for free next week would fail. And I would be stuck with Mannon and Wisdom who are not guarenteed starters...

      I would keep Foster and Demel, unless your rotation with your other keeper/defenders is poor. Despite people saying that Enrique isn't favoured by Rodgers he's still likely to come back in when he's finally fit, and Liverpool's fixtures aren't THAT great anyway
