The international break is now just minutes away from being a relic of the past alongside the reliant robin, betamax and David Bentley and we can all breath a sigh of relief… almost. We’ve go only about an hour to go until the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) deadline closes once more and it’s time for the last minute panic over the minutiae of our fantasy squads…

“Newcastle have not been getting the results at home recently, can I trust them?”

Despite the recent off-putting results, a home tie versus Wigan indicates a favourable opportunity and this weeks Scout Picks back up that claim.

“Are my core strikeforce of English heavyweights Rooney, Carroll and Bent going to start this week?”

Our team news thinks that they will all make it onto the pitch this coming weekend, alongside the opinion on every squad in the Premier League.

“Is there anybody even left for me to captain?”

Don’t be so melodramatic, of course there is. Even with the absence of arguably FPL’s two biggest stars (Cesc and Drogba) the Captain’s Poll this week is showing great favour to Luis Nani, and slightly less so Carlos Tevez.

Questions like these and many more are undoubtedly burning in the minds of the last-ditch Larry fantasy manager, so we’ve gone and opened the Saturday Surgery chatroom so everyone can gather together and try to make a semblance of this mess before the clock hits the deadline.

    Arghhuoooo huhuhuu waaa! Hangovers: meet your collective mothers. My optic nerves seem to have been substituted for steel spikes boring into my skull. And the painkillers: they do nothing!
    All I seek is soothing football to ease the pain and... WHAT? no early kisk off! WTF****ck! After 2 weeks of interlull tedium, they have to drag it out a few hours longer? The gods are cruel..

    So please help me:
    Mingolet->Krul
    or
    Figs->Enrique

    My brain hurts just thinking about thinking about this. Please, please help me.

    Van Damme probably wont play so I'm a man short unless Odem plays.

    I've already used free transfer.

    Is it worth an 8pt hit to get in Nani as I'd have to take Evans out as already have 3 Man U players.

    Captaincy issue:

    Nani: 2 internationals, CL next week, weak opposition
    Tevez: international in Japan, EL next week, weak opposition, possible fatigue
    Carroll: on the bench according to Guardian
    vdV: 2 internationals, away game
    Bale: 2 internationals, CL next week, away game
    Malouda: 2 internationals, CL next week, away game, missing key players

    actually, all of my prospect captains has doubts. thoughts welcomed!
