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…

    How confident are we that Aguero is above Dzeko in penalty duties? This will basically decide it for me

      Balo, Aguero, Milner. Don't worry Dzeko won't take them.

      Confident. Milner scored his penalty when Aguero had already been subbed off. I don't think Dzeko has history of taking penalties.

    1 FT, team plagued with injuries:

    1) Rooney =>
    2) Nani =>
    3) Helguson =>

    Thinking doing Nani out to Valencia, Dempsey or Milner, and then doing Helguson to Ba next GW. Sensible? And which midfielder is best (Already have Bale, Sess and Silva)?
