How many do you go with? Three, four, five…maybe even more? Granville may not call this a “double Gameweek” but there’s little doubt that us Fantasy managers are giddy with the options before us. Those who have stocked up on Liverpool and Swansea will be left worried that their investment will fall flat and lead to inevitable points hits in Gameweek 27; those without ample coverage will be concerned that they’re about to be blown away. It’s a troubling scenario, made for discussion in our Matchday Surgery chatroom which is now open and ready to steer all your real-time chatter through until 12.30.

The Dugout Discussion will be underway following that, in preparation for the early kick-off at White Hart Lane. Right now, we’re just looking for our gloves and scarf before embarking on another pre-match preamble.

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

    quote from Fergie in todays Guardian, lamenting on the unfairness of the fixture congestion, suggesting he will have to indulge in radivcal squad rotation:

    "It will be different teams...the team on Sunday will not be the team that plays on Wednesday"

    Guardian also omit RVP from the predicted line-up

      Didn't Mourinho always complain that Utd got it easy when it came to fixtures. And he doesn't complain about all the tv money he gets either... Have a read of this. http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/paulfletcher/2009/06/secrets_of_the_fixture_compute.html

      I made my transfers early. Really regretting not having gerrard. He could really hurt me this week. More consistent and more data so less of a punt. Could Sturridge score a hatrick? Gerrard on set pieces and bonus.
