It’s a fine, fine morning but nobody is venturing outside around these parts. Another Gameweek deadline beckons, which means there’s plenty of deliberation and keyboard-based querying to be done. Our Matchday surgery chatroom has opened up to provide a platform.

Here’s the usual breakdown of all the key coverage in another busy week on the Scout, for those who missed out:

  • Sir Paulos served up the Scout Picks for Friday tea-time as always. Digest his justification for another Scout Committee selection right here.
  • If you’re looking for something a little different, Big Dunc is your man – his “Differentials“, offering some less fashionable punts for your consideration.
  • Our regular Watchlist articles provided in-depth looks at the potential of both Peter Odemwingie and Javier Hernandez.
  • Members pondering the merits of Antoinio Valencia can absorb the numbers in this week’s “Versus” article.
  • All the weekend team news has been collated and compiled right here, along with our predicted lineups. Our Injuries and Bans table sums up the likely absentees.
  • This week’s ScoutCast provides an audio accompaniment to the Gameweek countdown
  • Those with our interest in our Cup Competitions will want to check out the draw for the last 16 of the Members Cup and the First Round Draw of the Paddy Power Cup – starting today.

Once you’ve taken in that lot, the Captain Poll in the middle column provides a view on how the masses are approaching the armband conundrum. Our Pre-match Preamble is on the way to round things up.

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.

        Running out of patience with Ba, he's been absent for more than ACON and Holt us surely nailed on for a big score vs whimpering Wolves? no?

          It not easy, is it? Yes Holt could do well but to make it worthwhile he has to do better than 1 goal...For a hit I'm just not too sure!

      If Holt starts he could do well, but you can never trust the Norwich lineup.

          Nah I think the Baggies will score at least 1. But a clean sheet wowuldn't surprise me.

    Currently have Young and trailing ML leader by 30 points
    I've Brought in Walcott for Dempsy (form and fixtures).

    Almost certain rival has brought in Siggy and Valencia in this week.

    Is it sensible to do Young to Valencia (4 pt hit).

    I know Young might out score Valencia and its a bit of a sidewise move but covers risk of Valencia having another stormer and frees up funds to upgrade my defence next week.

    Good idea?

    Krul or Bogdan in nets today? Or take a 4pt hit and get someone else in (£1.5 in the bank) Whats the verdict?

      I'd play Krul. Although I don't think either will keep a clean sheet. Might get a few save points with Krul.

        ive heard 3-0, 2-1 and 2-0.
        i know what im about to say i quite dumb,
        but i dont have much money left for betting but if i take bets for all 3 of those predictions ill still make a profit although not as big, and there is still a chance for an upset like the game of l pool vs qpr so i dont mind just taking 1 risky bet or 3 where i have a beta chance of making a little profit , what do u think i should do?
        and sorry if my english is quite bad, not my native toung
