It's time to discuss those final changes to both your FPL and Yahoo teams ahead of the deadlines at 11:30am and midday UK time respectively.

My current Yahoo team is ...

Lloris, Piscu, Vertonghen, Shorey, Sterling, Rosicky, Cazorla, Michu, Snodgrass, Suarez, Rooney

... but I am concerned about Wayne Rooney as this article in the Guardian states he's a major doubt: http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2012/dec/14/manchester-united-sir-alex-ferguson-sunderland.

An article in the Telegraph this morning states he has missed 3 days of training due to a virus, but suggests he will play: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/manchester-united/9746388/Manchester-Uniteds-Wayne-Rooney-targets-revenge-mission-against-Sunderland.html

Is there enough doubt to consider dropping him? It's not like Ferguson has a shortage of alternative forward options with Danny Welbeck and Javier Hernandez both available. I can't afford the Robin van Persie so perhaps it would be sensible to go with Carlos Tevez or Sergio Aguero instead?

My FPL team is locked in:

Tremmel, Clark, Shorey, Shawcross, Fellaini, Michu, Snodgrass, Cazorla, Defoe, Tevez, Suarez (C)

Ok, let's kick this off - how are your teams shaping up?
