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.

    Soooo... Begovic. Rotates well with Foster and priced at just 4.3. Any opinions on whether he'll keep his spot in the team?

        Fair enough. Need to swap either Krul or Simpson as never going to double up on Newcastle defenders. Maybe Simpson to Foley is an option.....

    I know Elmo has been getting lots of points cos of Sunderland's clean sheets (even though he's not part of their defence) but is he actually playing well? I mean 0 goals and 1 assist is not a good return all season for a winger. Can it be that he has just been dropped rather than rested?

    Was gonna go VDV but my computer mental but it's not that, it's the fact with a defender they kinda start with the 6 points then it's down to the other team to take that away, I think it's gonna be horrible keeping up with the Chelsea game tomorrow, hopefully I'm rewarded!

    Decent start with VDV. Made it a hatrick of transfers out that have gone on to make assists the gameweek I sell them. Had to get rid of Crouch though when I saw he wasn't starting, was a logical move to swap for Kenwyne, not quite sure how he didn't get anything when Stoke scored 3. I more regret having Crouch in the first place. Brough him in with Arteta last week for Barton and Tevez, both went on to get assists.
