With just over an hour to go before the bell tolls on another Fantasy Gameweek deadline, our Matchday Surgery chatroom swings open to welcome the boisterous and the weary, to help guide those last minute decisions.

It’s been a hugely eventful week for me personally – one that has seen me largely absent from my Fantasy Football Scout duties. While it will still be some time before I’m fully back on the job – so to speak – even I’ve found time this week to soak up our coverage to help formulate my Fantasy thinking.

Last night’s Scout Picks, combined with Big Dunc’s differentials this morning, offer our take on the weekend’s key Fantasy targets. Prior to that, the Watchlist provided a mid-term view on prospects to consider – focusing on QPR’s Adel Taarabt and Blakburn’s Yakubu. Our Talent Article for Members, meanwhile, examined the emergence of Swansea’s Gylfi Sigurdsson as a consideration.

With the Team News complied and the Captain Poll concluded, we’ve hopefully armed you with the facts and views of your Fantasy peers, preparing you to step over the white line once again.

Dive into the chatroom to share your wisdom or pluck that last gem of knowledge from the crowd.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    How long until the game is updated? Wanna check the Team below me. Caught up to 1 point with 11 green arrows in a row, the bastard!

    Benched Valencia over Sess at last minute and kept Ba on pitch because he doesn't have him yet
