A neck injury could keep John Terry from facing up to Papiss Cisse and company at the Bridge. Chico is a doubt for Swansea as they prepare to host the Hammers, who will be boosted by the fleet feet of new signing Matt Jarvis at the Liberty.

Wojciech Szczesny is a minor doubt for Arsenal’s battle at the Britannia. Sir Alex Ferguson primes Robin Van Persie for a start against Fulham, in the hope that he’ll provide the goals to compensate for the injuries at the back – despite press rumours, the United boss confirms that his array of crocked defenders remain sidelined.

All this and more has been collected and collate for you, along with our punt on the lineups for the Gameweek fixtures, over in the team news section.

We’ll update this right through the evening and up to tomorrow’s deadline. Keep ’em peeled for the very latest via the Twitter feed.

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

    Basically this week, I don't want to invest in any player I have the slightest doubt about. That way when the scores come in I won't be asking myself "WHY DIDNT YOU LISTEN TO YOURSELF??"

    So I've gone for Michu over Dyer as a replacement for Mata. And am staying off RVP/Rooney/Kags for now. But unfortunately, that means keeping Torres, who I also have great doubts about, specifically service and composure.

              You really don't want to do VDV > Kagawa then? Still a little doubt but considerably less doubt IMO. Don't know why VDV would be benched completely.

    TotalFPL allowed you to link your team in years gone by to check potential price rise / drop.

    Does anyone know if this feature still exists?

      Doesn't look like it but if they're updating the set maybe it'll come in soon
