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.

          Thanks for typing it out.

          Bale is a fantastic player but seems to be incapable of scoring more than 2 pts per week, so I'd look at transferring him to VdV/Cahill/N'Zog

          Either that and/or Berba to Tevez.

          players i'd be look out removing are either alex or bosingwa, possibly downgrade one to a cheaper option then look at upgrading either berbatov or parker. but keep parker for the next 2 as they have the most favourable fixtures out of any team. west brom & blackpool

            Ah OK. Probably just a rest, since he has played quite a bit this season.

            However, he came off the bench recently, and was subbed on 70 minutes, and now dropped, so his situation will need careful monitoring. If he is "rested" again against Chelsea, he will have to go...

          The annoying thing is that the Boniejudges seems to favour the defending team.
          I would rather reward the team that tries to football instead of the team that parked the bus and doesn't get out of their own half in 90 mins.

          I remember 2 games with Villa last year where Man u and Spurs where all over them, but all the bonies went to Villa for doing nothing more than kicking away the ball in 90 mins!

    Guys couple questions...

    1. How do I see if my rival has wildcarded in FPL?
    2. If I make a transfer now, it doesnt take effect until this weekend right? will ignore tonight matches? I am sure thats it just being silly

    Thanks

      1. Not sure if there's an easier way, but go to transfer history and if they made loads of transfers one GW and didn't drop loads of places then they prob used their wildcard.

      2. Correct. Change today effects next GW.
