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.

          It's not that bad. Silva is class, Jarvis is handy, Brunt has good fixtures and takes set pieces and Cabaye is staying until he dies. He's my new favourite.

      If your trying to play catch up, there are other options. Especially this year. Ronney RVP Suarez Aguero and Tevez are best in the league. Dzeko and Klasnic until now, but not long term. Odemwingie, Stracqualursi, Bendtner, Crouch, Ruiz,and Adebayor are differncials with tons of potential. Torres, Defoe, and Drogba are ex footballers. Carroll Balotelli Berbatov and Pavlyuchenko are best pub customers in England. All others are Gameweek options and gambles. If there is one position that there are plenty to choose from it is this one. So to waste such a large budget there makes little sense when there arent as many solid options in midfield and defence. Just an opinion.
