Managers the length and breath of the country are frantically trying to free up funds and strike some last-minute deals to improve their squads. It’s also Deadline Day in the Premier League, so tread extra carefully as the 7.30pm Gameweek 23 Fantasy Premier League deadline approaches.

The Matchday Surgery chatroom is open, so venture in and ask your fellow fantasy managers for help and advice.

You’ve got plenty of other resources to call upon of course, such as the Scout Picks – a selection of players we’re tipping to do well this week, the Team News – complete with predicted line-ups for all the midweek Premier League games, and if you’re feeling particularly lucky/desperate there’s the Differentials – for those not-so-popular players we think might just deliver this week.

The Dugout Discussion will follow…

Akers Richard or Akers, as he is known, has been regularly haunting this site since July 2008. He is young and foolish, take what he says with a pinch of salt. Follow them on Twitter

      Tori Amos? Bold move by Ferguson, if she can keep goal half as good as she plays piano he's got a real keeper there.

    Just wondering..

    I done RVP (c) -> Bale (c) and when I clicked confirm and said the game is updating, I presume I just RVP in that case? Don't mind either way, they could both do as good as each other..
