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.

    Is Sess due to go down to 7.2?????

    I took my eyes off him for 3 days and he'd gone and lost value. Fellaini it is then this week.

      Yes Sess will fall to 7.2m tonight...
      He held firm at 7.4m for quite a time, but has fallen off the cliff in the last 3 days...
      Can't argue - I'm dumping him today also!

    Quick question folks. I am in the rare position, for me, of having two wild cards available. I usually use my first one with the first few game weeks but have retrained myself this year.

    My question is, if I wildcard tonight, I assume it will automatically use the Jan wildcard?

        I thought the concensus was that regardless of the length of time between GWs, players could only go up 0.3 maximum? So the long turnaround is irrelevant isn't it? There'll be lots of rises, but more to do with the amount of WCs being played than the lengthy break?

        His flag came off on the 30th after Everton played. If it's 8 days that'll mean that his transfers will start contributing to a price change next Monday.

    Yes he was saved for Cl games earlier in the season.

    Now thats gone hes clearly number 1 man playing 90 in all 3 christmas games.

    If you leave that until after the DGW, the defence will suffer a lot as most of these players are likely to go up.

      I think that's the main reason you'd be tempted to WC now - not chasing extra value, but ensuring you can afford the team you want. As you point out, some of those players may rise 0.5 (or more) within a few weeks...
