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.
