The Midweek Surgery

In case you missed last night’s message – happy new year to you all!

There’s no time to shake the fuzzy heads, 2013 starts right here for Fantasy managers with seven Premier League matches and another 11.30 deadline ahead of us. This is the final straight of what has been an exhausting but exhilarating festive spell and, as always on deadline day, we’ve opened up our Matchday Surgery chatroom for one last time before the break for FA Cup football next weekend. No shouting please.

Our first Dugout Discussion of the year follows at 12.30 ahead of Fulham’s trip to West Brom. Sadly, there’s no preamble this morning – I’ve been up early, sans hangover, tinkering and testing Rate My Team and the Hall of Fame for roll out later today. It’s looking good and we should be live with those features shortly after the final whistle from today’s three o’clock matches.

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

          hmmm, could well pay off but risky surely
          if michu doesn't start, de guzman could get double digit
          i can see a hernandez goal

            Hernandez is the assist king for Swansea. Looked at his OPTA stats a couple of weeks ago and he hadn't had one attempt on goal so a goal would be surprising to say the least.

      Agreed. My team may not be stunning but I don't feel I have any problems a few decent transfers can't mend. Now I'm going to spend the next month trying to come up with something "clever" and chasing bandwagons I'd ordinarily ignore. Oh we'll. . . I might manage to make it work this year.
