With team news for Sunday’s games still rolling in and the Fantasy deadline pushed back by 24-hours, this week’s Scout Picks will follow on Saturday afternoon. In the meantime voting for our end of season awards goes on.

We’ve added the third of our polls today, collecting your votes on the midfielders who have lit up your Fantasy season. Once again you have four votes available to you, allowing the love to spread around an array of nominations.

Cast your votes now and pop back tomorrow for the Scout Picks, a preview of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup Final and an interview with Fantasy Premier League leader Chris McGurn.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    lads, I've been top of all my leagues most of the year, my main big league my lead was cut from 76 to 49 points last week, big money difference between 1st and 2nd

    u would think 49 points is enough but anything can happen.. Should I play it dirty and transfer in 2/3 of his players? As we both have alot of same players.. I'll be takin a hit so lead will prob be 45

          I think so. Wondering whether Modric rather than Nzogbia is a better bet since he will be on pens. It's a toss up.

      Yes. sell VDV. he will get you 0 points. With Nzog, you at least have the hope of recovering your investment. . . and closing the 12 point gap.

      I’m doing something similar. . . my gap is 8 points. but with my hits it’ll probably be 16 when the matches begin.

            if I get Tevez, I'd have to sell Yaya or Silva (more than three City players). Silva was a doubt last time I checked, so guess I'd have to sell him.

      Keeping it to one hit you should get those 4 points back just from them playing 60 mins each, so it's not going to hurt you. I've gone for Adam too.

      Your consistency 2nd half of the season is awesome, no gameweek score under 500,000 since GW 22. You may be 2nd in the Millionaire's Club but it should be a moral victory.

      I have the same keeper combo as you, Foster/Bego.

      More faith in Stoke CS (WIG) than Foster save points (tot)?

    Silva still a doubt?
    Have to sell him or Yaya to make room for Tevez 🙂

      Safe move would be Silva but it depends on your subs.

        ATM I plan to play

        Foster (Begovic)
        Lescott/Hangeland/Luiz (Walker, Huth)
        Adam/Kuyt/Silva or Yaya/N’Zog (VDV)
        RVP/Berbatov/Tevez

          Keep Yaya imho... he may not score as much as Silva (if Silva plays) but at least you have a whole team that way.

    Works league fairly safe, +59. Which is more likely to move me up the rankings?

    A) Drog to Berb or
    B) Drog, Carroll and Silva to Berb, Tevez and Modric (-8)

    Almost final team is:

    Szczesny, (Begovic)
    Kolarov, Dawson, Smalling, (Luiz, Simpson)
    Anderson, Young, Lamps, Silva, (Yaya)
    Drogs, Berb, RVP

    Does that look right (as much as it can be) to you?

      Not sure if Silva will play, but I suspect Yaya is your first sub... Have a think about Simpson maybe... Newcastle play a West Brom without Odem, and maybe Brunt is still out too... they may get a cleanie there.

      Armband = Berb I suspect? Not convinced he'll do the business but in the opinion of most on here, he's worth the gamble.

          Anderson is a bold shout, not a single league goal and just 2 assists.
