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.

          Just hope he gets me some points before craddock comes back although he has played well there so there's hope that he won't get the boot. But it really doesn't matter at the end as nobody is managing to keep a freaking cleansheet anyways! So atleast i'll have less invested in the defence.

    Planning on getting Jarvis in this week...can't decide who to DROP for him though:
    A. Barton (one of the best budget options, but already have Carroll for Newcastle coverage)
    B. Adam (central part of the team, but the fixtures are getting worse and it's only a matter of time before Blackpool fall apart)
    C. Arteta (just got him in, but he's playing deep...would also give me a lot of cash to get in Vidic/Cole the week after)
    D. no transfer

      Looking at your team i think your proposed transfers are just swapping like for like. Imo you would do better to look at your defence and rid yourself of either Jara or shawcross. Stoke are clearly not the tight outfit they were last season.

      Great idea, then we'd have 2 million players competing for about 500 players.

      FPL is like a stock market. It's predictable, but shocks do happen. You have to see the trend, jump on it, then jump off when it's sinking. You have to have foresight, not just for transfers in but for transfers out.

        It's only within leagues I think.

        Still, I prefer the FPL system.

        It's a great system, and the sell-on fee makes the game much more challenging because you have to weigh up the lost value versus what you stand to gain.

        Especially the "transfers out part". It's so hard to drop a player who is pure quality but isn't performing but you think he's due a big score (e.g. Bale, Malouda past couple weeks)

                I realized that it's pretty hard to have Fab, Malouda, Drogba, Tevez and VDV in the same team without having really poor other players (Unless your value is really high)

                I was torn between Malouda and Tevez.I went with Tevez seeing that I have Chelsea coverage.

    Reading up on the incident of last night. Feel bad for those that traded due to it. I just used the Spurs twitter site. Certain people on here are also believable with lineups. Pretty sure every club has their own twitter site. Whatever happens to alonso is on his head. It didn't affect me but obviously affected quite a few.

        I agree but until someone else confirmed it then everyone shouldn't have thought it was gospel. No-one asked where he got it from etc. The time the post was made is another factor. There was still plenty of time to wait for 100% confirmation.

              And you are wrong that everyone knows Van der Vaart is a better FPL player. Many people have chosen Bale over Van der vaart , Bales price has been rising rapidly since his champions league exploits , this would suggest that many people dont differentiate his form in the two competitions.

                If Bale & VDV were the same price, it would be a different story. VDV was injured which has seen Bale rise in the last week. He has been falling steadily in price in the last month so get your facts right. People just hope he can score like he does in CL.

          I was referring more to Bale. Don't get me wrong. I've shifted to VDV (and thankfully he's good enough that my acquisition hasn't been the curse of fantasy death that it's been on some others this season!). Just saying that Bale has produced some serious results in the past month not shown in the list above.

      NZog looks good for a 1 week punt in gw 13, but Wigan is so unpredictable I wont fancy them vs Westham & ManU away.

      Then again NZogbia is basically Wigan and if they score he most prob will be involved.

      Goose hit it on the head yesterday though - with Mid's such as Nzog/Ethers/Adam/Nolan the problem is you have to basically play them every game because they can score when you least expect it.

      So having those midrange mid's can become a headache in itself.

    Anyone else see Drogba coming off if they have it in the bag? I know it won't be easy for Chelsea tonight but if it is 2-0 about 60 minutes in surely he will come off?

      More likely that Malouda will come off on 59min i think.

      PS: How's the Eco's going?

          I think the Liverpool result will mean that Chelsea will be at their best tonight...
