Can you feel the malaria kicking in, a bout of the Manchester flu or even a touch of Midweek Madness? Don’t fret as on call for this evening’s out of hours session are the good practitioners at Fantasy Football Scout and co, doing our best to ease your last minute ills.

In around about one hour’s time the doors slam shut on another gameweek of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) action so let’s get a quick diagnosis and have you on your way…

“I’ve got Fabregas and Drogba in my team and now I want one of Torres or Tevez too, who can I sneak in there to afford such expenses?”

Having frisked the fixtures just last we would suggest that Stoke, West Ham and Wolves – not exactly glamourous or highly performing sides to date – could all provide options to fill that gap. Sir Paulos’ has also gone into more detail looking at the West Ham strikeforce in another top notch Technical Area piece.

“The armband. Where should it go?”

The consensus among the voting public sways very much in favour of Didier Drogba, today’s revelation that he has recently been suffering from malaria (blimey!) but is now okay to play may cause a few questions to be raised; and if so Fabregas, Torres and team-mate Malouda are leading the peleton just behind.

“Are all my players fit and accounted for?”

Check out our Team News and Injuries and Bans for all of this weeks information collated into one easy resource. It certainly looks like Fergie will be fretting ahead of Wednesday’s big derby game.

The Chatroom is open early and awaiting those looking to get their brains into gear in this last hour of panic with questions like these and many more, keep on track though… the clock is ticking.

        Drogba.

        People captaining anyone else are panicky, insecure little bandwagoners.

        Ancelotti was quick to stress that he's in top condition now.

        At home against Fulham. Doesn't get much better, especially since there's still no Lampard which means Drogs is on pens and freekicks.

    Evening chaps (and chapettes). I need to play two of these four, any suggestions?;

    Etherington, Brunt, Adam, Elmo

    I've currently got Etherinton & Brunt in my starting XI. I can't see Sunderland keeping a CS away to Spurs & despite his promise, Elmo's only got the 1 assist. Adam I'm not sure about, he looked lacklustre against a 9-man Baggies & I fancy Villa to keep a clean sheet. Etherington, on form alone should be bottom of the pile but I find myself agreeing with Mark's Scout Picks & see him, surely, chipping in for an assist at least. Brunt? West Ham haven't got the most solid of back lines....
