Another Saturday, another morning of last minute panic and worry. It’s not “what do I buy the other half Christmas?” – unless you’ve bagged yourself a keeper who revels in the Fantasy [strictly football] as much as you – it’s more a question of many questions; be it captain, subs bench, fitness or who do you buy for the second half of the season…

The Captain’s Poll this week looks like it is leaning favourably in the direction of Samir Nasri with Fernando Torres your next best thing. Having been frisked, the fixtures are telling us that teams like Liverpool and Sunderland (backed up by Watchlist highlights Glen Johnson and Darren Bent) might be in with a shout. Don’t agree? Then now the brand new Members’ Season Ticker puts the rod firmly in your own hand as you can now divvy out the difficulties yourself.

Want player specifics, that’s what we’re here for. The team has provided up to date and in depth information on all twenty Premier League clubs, Big Dunc runs the rule over another handful of differentials to be considered while Mark has been searching for new Fantasy games that may also pique your interest – don’t forget we’re still the home brand of tipsters for Metro this season as well – while tipping the likes of Somen Tchoyi and Steven Gerrard, but to name a couple, in his Scout Picks this week.

One more link? How about a bit of light entertainment courtesy of Ian Holloway to sample with your Weetabix. Always good for a soundbite.

Still lost for ideas? Then the Saturday Surgery has opened it’s doors once more so you can join your fellow fantasy managers as allies in arms and ask any last minute questions. Splendid.

    Think I'm just going to ride this out and save 2 transfers for next week. I still want Konch, Torres & NZog and I can't see a decent replacement for the short term.......well maybe Toress to Bent!

      +1

      I have those 3 and I want all of them for the next few weeks. Just going to ride it out and hopefully will be able to field 11 players, although with Odemwingie in there, it doesn't look likely.

        I agree, may as well not panic and save transfers for no doubt more weather disruptions. Be careful with Liverpool players for next week though, Blackpool game could easily be off.

      Not a bad plan..everyone is in the same boat!

      I seem to remember a similar day last year, didnt Arsenal get a lucky 2-2 draw at home to Everton in the snow?

    Urgh.. Went to bed at 3 and gave myself no chance of being awake at 11:30 so used my two free transfers wisely to bring in Torres and Fabregas. Not a good start!

    I assume y'all know that Wigan v Vila is off?

    That at least solves who I bench out of my front 8 (N'Zogbia).

    I get the feeling there will be more postponements later on, so I'm not sure. Is it really worth me bothering with any transfers now?.

    Least I get 2 free ones next week if I don't. What's reckon lads?

    Hmmmm. Sub in Enrique or Vidic for Konchesky? Total FPL has NCL and MUN as the same odds for a clean sheet (i.e. not very good).

    At the moment I can field all players bar one, just Kyrgiakos, so I'm sticking and saving 2 free transfers for next week.

      If the games involving the players you are bringing in go ahead then maybe.

      But N'Zogbia is now going to have a DGW coming up soon which, hopefully, he'll still be a Wigan player for.

      I think if you can field eleven today then use the postponements as natural selection for who to bench this week.

      That will be an interesting game, Allardyce is probably a West Ham fan today.
