Let’s not dilly-dally shall we. The Scout chatroom has opened for the dawn of a new Fantasy Football season with the The Saturday Surgery here for the last-gasp panic.

There will undoubtedly be even more panic than normal on what is arguably the busiest, and most fraught, period of the whole season.

We’ve opened three rooms in anticipation of a potential abundance of users, we encourage you to spread about and help those as they help you with your last minute quandary.

The first Saturday Surgery of the season is open.

      Bent: proven goalscorer for Villa, N'Zogbia is a new signing and may take a few fixtures to bed in properly.

        Thanks, but won't N'zogbia be a key part of Mcleish's plans too?

          Yes. My answer is for if you can only have/want one of the two. I actually have N'Zogbia (and not Bent) because I think he'll work better in the squad I've chosen. I think choosing both may not be optimal - one of the two provides enough attacking Villa coverage IMO.

    Need some opinion here guys:
    1. Ramsey or Anderson for big team punt?
    2. Orr, Rangel, or De Laet for budget DF?
    3. Huth or Shawcross

      1. Ramsey, at least he'll play this game
      2. I like Rangel, very attacking but go for Orr or De Laet as they cost 0.5 cheaper
      3. Shawcross is cheaper and should play

      I am staying away from Stoke defenders at the moment until it's clearer which 2 (3?) of Shawcross, Huth, Upson and Woodgate are regulars.

          Huth can play full-back as well as centre-back, right? So maybe he has a more likely chance of starting.

      It's best to wait until last minute in case of injuries, matches being called off, etc.

        admittedly, some last minute tinkering is very useful. But that doesn't mean you put owen hargreaves in your team until you know whether nani will play or not. I'm guessing almost everyone here has a decent team set up but are getting all excited anyway.
