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…

    I have Raylor and Cahill. Need to bench one of them *unless I leave Studge out*. Can someone be rational for me? Will Cahill even play? Raylor looks like he will get midfield action and Studge is frustrating of late.

        Still think he will do alot of saves. Maybe gets a penosave + the accosional cs.

        Not to mention i got him in at the start @ 4.0. So for me he's a must. pairing him with bogdan to maximize the rest of my team

    I currently have Kompany Enrique and Evans but have Raylor and Clark on the bench.
    With Cabaye banned should I promote Raylor against a dodgy Blackburn? Could well play in midfield and bag a goal/assist...

      It's only a guess. He also missed one in GW2 and it didn't have any effect on his penalty duties. I think he'll retain them.
