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.

      possibly. if bruce reverts to 4-4-2 to accommodate bent and gyan that leaves malbranque, wellbeck, riveros, zenden to fight with elmo for the right wing spot, as well as the left obviously

      No-one in their right mind would transfer him in this week anyway but I think he'll be fine for the home games, though he may be sacrificed on occasion away from home against the stronger sides. But in general though Steve Bruce loves him so he will be fine.

      Bruce made 6 changes from the team that played at the weekend, so I don't think we can get much info from this team selection. Kieron Richardson was in the team, so we can safely say that was not Sunderland's 1st XI.

          The Chicarito Song: (Rabbit Run Remix)

          Aiyo, Chicarito

          A defender's worst dream, he makes 'em tense
          They fukin' hate 'em, when they see 'im they shake like a chainlink fence
          By the looks of 'em you would swear that jaws was comin'
          By the screams of 'em you would swear that he was sawin' someone
          By the way they runnin' you would swear the law was comin'
          If he gets half a chance you best believe he'll grab it,
          And this is the part of the song where Hernandez starts to run

          His pace explodes onto the pitch
          And all of a sudden Ashley Cole becomes his b*tch
          Makes John Terry all depressed
          And makes Gael Clichy look like shit

          He's so fast he could outrun Theo Walcott on speed in a bora
          But where he comes from that's an order, because Mexicans need speed to cross the border
          ARRIBA!
          (Ha-Ha-Ha)

          VDV got 20.5 in the Yahoo game, I had him in but took him out because of Alonso and because the Yahoo deadline was 7:00 and he was doubtful anyway. The only good thing was that I took out Foster and replaced him with Howard with the extra cash, Foster got -5, so I am down 15 odd points. I didn't have him in my FPL team and had no intention of putting him in.

              Ok, I admit it, I'm a bonus judge and I was at the Spurs game tonight, (well, watching it on a TV at FPL towers).

              I thought that Catterpillar fella had a great game getting stuck in on Modric, I felt sorry for Luca M as he got crunched so gave him a bonus out of sympathy too. Turner made a few clearances so I gave some to him as well.

              I went for a piss during the second half so missed a bit of the game, but other than that, I thought it was a decent encounter.

              See, the judges are happy to come out and explain their reasoning, and I want to see no more comments criticising the future allocation of bonus points!

              I hate automatic subs. Main rival started Elmo. Nani first sub. Andrew Davies (Stoke defender who doesnt play) second sub. Tevez third sub.

              Therefore he will either get Nani's points (if he plays) or Tevez' points. Ridiculous (I know he didnt set it up that way)

              I still can't believe that guy posting a fake spurs line up. What a stupid thing to do. Stopped me bringing in vandervart who of course went and scored. Thanks

              forget the trusted M89-SR
              a good old grey nicolls to the odd knee cap might improve their judging somewhat

              Took a punt and Captained VdV. Have to be happyish, but with so many others I could have Captained ie Tev, drog, Fab, Cash or Arteta I am really pissed off by lack of BP's for VdV.
              Still, 14pts in the bag, and some of the others will do better, some will do worse so it could have gone either way.

                If I was offered those points for my captain I would take them now.
                I didn't really see the game so I cannot judge, but by experience I think we all expected VDV to get some, maybe not 3 but some.
                It's just a theory but I wonder if the Cattermole BPs were really for VDV, both players are in 10th position in their respective teams and there have been admin errors like this in the past. Problem is even if it's true and they realise, FPL would not change it, they wouldn't want to lose face.

                  Seriously! Could they make an error as simple/stupid as that and not correct it?
