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.

          Jamsiep, you'll be ok, the transfers were all part of a long term plan, not just for today. and anyways all is not lost, games haven't kicked off yet. lads could come on as subs and wreck the place. It's only over at the final whistle, til then there's hope.

    Brought Dzeko in on my wildcard and debated shifting him this morning but remain satisfied I have him. I'm of the view that he's a good pick for the season. If he doesn't produce in the next few weeks I'll reconsider the situation. The thought of all the people that brought him in as captain without considering the rotation is amusing.
