Another long wait, filled with false hopes (Victory over Spain?) and overdue results (Ireland qualifying for the Euro’s) is now, at last, all but a distant memory for our budding crop of Fantasy Managers. The Saturday Surgery is open and the next gameweek of action is but a moment away…

We’ve spent the last two weeks giving you all sorts to stew on in anticipation – our Members especially have enjoyed a bumper array of articles to feast upon. Those players moving up in the world of The Watchlist have also had plenty of coverage of late.

If that wasn’t enough to get you on your way then the Scout Committee’s Picks are looking to shine with The Differentials offering an alternative route to some mini-league winning action.

We’ve also got our own Scout Cup on the boil if you’re that way inclined. Who doesn’t love a good cup?

We’ve got an hour to go. Let’s settle in with a morning coffee in the Saturday Surgery and try and make all our teams that little something special.
