The Midweek Surgery

A Gameweek under lights beckons – a rare chance to wipe the memory of paltry returns with the immediate hit of more Premier League action and potential points hauls. Maybe not tonight though.

A full midweek programme starts with two matches this evening, as Sunderland play host to basement club QPR and Villa face Reading – a patchwork selection of Fantasy assets are on show, with interest again focused on how Martin O’Neill’s side shape up as they prepare for Gameweek 16’s two fixtures.

Our Matchday Surgery Chatroom is open to catch the final hour and a bit of deliberation as the 7.30 deadline crawls near.

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

    Is Whittaker nailed on for Norwich or could he loose his place?

      Not sure if his place is loose - think that he's been fairly tight.

    my incredibly expensively assembled defence is falling apart at the seams. my superstar backline of ramis, turner, demel, olson & cameron is quite likely to have only 1 starter this GW.

    is this a no brainer time to take a hit and bring someone else in, bearing in mind they'd also need to be cheap?
