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.

    An anxious wait for me to see if I got my two transfers through in time: Little Pea > Piquionne & Dempsey to VdV.

    Only got the confirmed team news off Sportinglife at the last minute.

    Our little hoaxster earlier posted the team 20 minutes too early which started the alarm bells ringing. Thanks a bunch mate!!

      Swapped Walcott for VdV with 3 mins spare. I am sure it is the right this to do, as I have planned it for next GW anyway.

    They're talking about Drogba's malaria like it's the common cold. Toure, who got malaria during the summer before his last season at Arsenal, has never been the same player. Whether it's also down to aging and the fact that our medical team is a bit shite is up to debate. Seriously considering shipping out Drogba myself.

        Drogba didn't "get good" until he was about 25. If we have to give him another 9 years to recover from Malaria then I'm not sticking around.

            VDV wasn't meant to play, so it wasn't that unbelievable. Like I said it probably won't make much a difference to my Yahoo team, but you don't post fake teams a half an hour before deadline.

        Apologies to anyone who made moves based on this but I would have hoped most would have waited for official confirmation before making changes......

            ahhh right, i thought you got the line-ups in-accurately from some dodgy site?

            You actually made up the line-ups as a joke? That puts a different spin on things. I'm afraid I have absolutely no sympathy with you now.

            Sure people should not believe what you put as gospel, I find it outrageous some people have gone with what you thought but the fact is 99% of the posts in here are genuine and truthful so I can see maybe why people did take your post as truthful.

                You're all being a bit pathetic to be honest, he probably believed it was real team news and could not know the site would crash.

                Locarno always seems to put them up on here before Sporting Life and I usually follow his as so far they've been right. Couldnt get on the site tonight, and couldnt wait for Sporting Life, but saw VDV was playing according to the BBC. Locarno - keep up the good work

              Yes Don, thats crap, if someone posts a team or gives out advice your taking it on faith that they are not shitting you., by what your saying theres no point asking or answering to anyone coz its all shite and your a mug if you believe them anyway.
