Gameweek 29 is a strange one – as we approach the 11.30 deadline, we’ve just two matches to wallow in this fine Saturday. The rest of the fixtures lie splintered around FA Cup exploits. Nonetheless, the same crucial decisions have to be made, transfers and captain’s armband deliberated. Our Matchday surgery chatroom is now open to help out accordingly.

Here’s a rundown of some handy little Scout links for those requiring to catch up on this week’s coverage:

  • The Scout Picks – Balotelli over Demba Ba? No United midfielder? Are we mad? Follow the link to get our justification.
  • The Team News – Our regular view on the predicted lineups for the Gameweek.
  • Injuries & Bans table – A full breakdown of the “outs”, “doubts” and bans.
  • Spot the Differential – For something a little bit different from Big Dunc
  • Any of our Members searching for a third striker option to partner Rooney and Van Persie need to take a gander at our two-part article and the options available – here and here.
  • Oh and don’t forget this week’s ScoutCast right here.
  • …and if you haven’t done so already, get your entry in for the qualifying round of the Paddy Power Cup. It’s free and open to all. Details here.

Then there’s always the Captain’s Poll which can be viewed on the home page, down the central column, to aid your armband decision. We’ve even dug into the dark art of refereeing to see if the Men in Black can influence our thinking.

Your Fantasy peers are also here to help, so join them in our Matchday Surgery chatroom, which can be accessed right here.

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

          Theres a reason for that LOL

          Walcott has burnt me big time twice this year (yes he's had two stints in my team), so I might be a bit bitter.

          That doesn't mean he's likely to do anything because no-one else has him.
          Everton away is a tough fixture.

          Think you're brave.

        Wouldnt do that myself, but i am probably going for RVP over Rooney. Think Wolves could make it difficult for Utd and Everton may be pre-occupied with the cup.

      You're better off captaining Suarez if you want a diff.
      Sure that not many people have him.

              I think Everton are very tidy defensively but wish you luck.
              It's a brave move when Rooney could score big.
              Wolves are fooked and are there for the taking.

    Having another look at Silva's home performances vs the better teams in the Prem:

    Arsenal: 11
    Liverpool: 9
    Spurs: 6
    Chelsea ?

    He does look to play better vs the better teams too.

    I think shipping Silva out may be a GW too soon, especially if you don't own a City forward. With some players the fixtures go out the window, as they do very well vs the top sides.

    SO it's all about the capitano this week no? My head is saying stick with captain consistent RVP. Everton got battered in the derby and although Arsenal's win against Newcastle wasn't the most convincing RVP still came through right?

    Rooney's fixture is the best on paper but not sure about this 'knock'? Could this be SAF's ploy to start him on the bench?

    Dempsey choice no 3 for me
