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…

    What do people think of this team for this gameweek:

    Lindegaard
    Kompany Kelly Santon
    Bale(VC) McLean Valencia Sessegnon Dempsey
    Van Persie(C) Aguero Ba

    Subs:Mignolet, Ba, Richards, Taiwo

    Still on wildcard so can make alterations if necessary

      Dempsey right upfront is not necessarily a good thing. His ghosting runs from deep usually go unoticed by defenders. Allowing chances to fall his way.

    Hello,
    worth to take a 4-point hit to do
    reo-coker & rooney to valencia and ba?

    I know that ba wont play this week, but would have him in for next week and play 3-5-2 this week with scout picks midfield and rvp and kun as forwards...

    What do you think?
