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.

        if Michu plays I would fancy a big haul, Torres is too much of a risk as QPR may play 5 in midfield to not concede early this time. Giroud will start so Walcott back at Right midfield maybe

    has everyone seen this quote already?

    "Michu's ankle is still big but it's not dangerous," said boss Michael Laudrup.

    "If he can get his foot in the boot then I think it's only a question of whether he can play with some pain.

    "If he gets a kick it will hurt a lot but in the end it's up to him. It's not like a muscle injury where you risk losing him for a longer period."

    My defence is currently Vertongen, Cuellar, Enrique, Shorey and Figueroa. Being as 2 probably won’t play and Wigan are at home to Man U is it worth a hit and is Gibbs or Azputuella (or however it’s spelt) a safer option?

    do we think RVP will start this week>?

      rvp will start. He was rested for that reason.

      If you were planning on captaining walcott then surely last week should have enhanced that view. He will be buzzing and wenger will feel no reason not to start him in the centre again. Saying that, I am captaining RVP but that was always my intention
