Gradually, we’re getting back into the swing of things. Our instincts need sharpening after the international break but there’s nothing like a set of rotation dilemmas and looming double Gameweek concerns to get our Fantasy Football brains moving through the gears.

With plenty to ponder, our Saturday Surgery Chatroom is available to those who prefer their interaction in real-time as we approach the 11.30 Fantasy deadline.

The Saturday Dugout Discussion will follow at 12.30, just before United take on Sunderland at the Stadium of Light. That particular encounter, or specifically the United teamsheet, dominates this morning’s Pre-match Preamble, on its way to you in just over half-an-hour.

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

        Don't mind him getting a -1 for a yellow card after scoring his hat trick 😉

      I doubt it.

      Fergie just praised van Persie for his 3 goals in the last 2 Dutch Internationals.

      This is because he will be rested for the Chelsea game, and he doesn’t want negative press effecting the player by suggesting he was dropped.

      This doesn’t guarantee Rooney starts, but if Fergie plays his best team (Real Madrid team minus Giggs who was in specially to do a job on Ronaldo)

      Then Rooney should get minutes.

      Cazorla for me - best fixture, no Walcott

      Bale next, good away from home but Swansea no easy beats

      RVP alway dangerous but risk of rotattion

      Suarez is explosive and in good form but showing signs of frustration, Villa fighting to stay up

        No Walcott is actually one of the reasons I'm NOT captaining Caz. Plus no Diaby or Jack...he will be deeper.

        I'm going with Suarez today. Good luck with whomever you choose...

    1) my def for this week: Baines Clark Davies (cueller)..looks weak. So
    1A) take out cueller this week for a Dgw def (will sagna play today?)
    1B) stick with this def and make the transfer decision in gw33 when i have clarity on arsenal defense

    If I do 1A), my defender choice is based to cater in the event Chelsea have a Dgw, so

    2) Assuming chel have a Dgw,
    2A: mertesacker + lamps
    2B: sagna/hland/obrien + hazard
