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.

      same as me...I'm the only RVPer and therefore only one to captain him in my mini league.

      Lots of armbands on Rooney (got him anyway) and Dzeko and Silva. Silva is the one I fear and have always feared each week.

      Chelsea game is the one I'm watching. You can take your Man City rotation and shove it up your emirates..Chelsea's were the real men will be investing in the nex few weeks. Mata? Sturridge? All firmly on the Jontyradar

          but the difference is that RVP has scored lots of goals since Christmas and five in the last 10 days. Torres hasn't. Torres was always a gamble, RVP may only get 2pts this week...but I doubt that'll be the case over the next 4 or so.
