Hallelujah – it’s business as usual in the Premier League. More to the point, it’s deadline day for fantasy football, and the Matchday Surgery chatroom is here to see you through it.

If you’ve left it late to make your transfers, or are just toying with final Fantasy Premier League wildcard adjustments, then one final sanity check is an absolute must. Come in and your comrades will attempt to deter you from any last-minute howlers (insert standard disclaimer).

Besides from the player market, there’s also the matter of selecting your double-scoring captain. With monster individual scores still burning in the memory, it’s a decision that cannot be taken lightly. A glance over at our poll sees Robin van Persie leading the way over two of those players with exceptional recent tallies in Wayne Rooney and Edin Dzeko.

May gameweek four treat us (especially me) well.

    Play Enrique or DeLaet. Odds for a cleanie say play Enrique, but not feeling good to leave DeLaet on the bench for a nice home fixture.

      No such thing as a nice fixture for Norwich. I fancy Brom to score a few versus them.

            I think it would be a bit risky for Mankini to start Tevez AND Balo, neither of them have had a lot of game time.

            If that team happens where Dzeko and Nasri dont play im screwed anyway, so might as well go Dzeko (c).

      he's got a broken finger so he'd probably play without a problem except it's Man City so they'll all get rotated
