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.

      Hi guys, in need of help ASAP please!

      Got two free transfers. Drogs out for Elmander but play just my 2 strikers in Tevez and Carrol, and keep 5 in midfield?

      OR

      4 in midfield, and swap out Adam for Elmander??

      Cheers

      Aargh. Brother-in-law called me to change his team and i forgot to take capt armband from Drogba. Automatically passed to Malouda. Will either ruin me or be a fantastic stroke of luck.

      Having had Salcido in my first XI for two weeks last night I woke up and put in Konchesky from the bench. Fully expecting Sally to at the very least grab an assist. All down to awkward clashes though; Sal/VDV and Artera/Konchesky. I figured maybe even an Everton/Pool 0-0 could see Arteta w/BPs, whilst all my eggs go in the VDV basket as far as Fulham/Spurs goes. Grrr.

        I had Salcido and konchesky and went with Salcido.

        hes one of those players who will score/assist but will do it pretty randomly.. Its best to play him every week IMO. Some weeks you will get 1/2 points but other weeks you might get 12.

          Lol indeed that's been my logic since I bought him purely on the basis that at the world cup I remember him shooting almost every time he got the ball.

          But my resolve faltered at the very last moment, so I'm just hoping this is one of those weeks when I won't regret it =D
