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.

    What if the hyped players do not perform again this gameweek? Where are the professional punters to hide thier faces? I have Arteta and RVP but went against choosing an Arsenal player as my captain. We shall see what happens...

    Might I complain once more about the new FPL layout? One of the features I enjoyed most was being able to readily track your own transfers history AND being able to snoop around and track everyone elses... It does me no good to be able to see your weekly team sheet and not see your stupid/excellent moves that got you there. How am I supposed to know how you beat me ?!? 🙂
