The Easter eggs are only half-eaten, yet here we are again. With the Gameweek 33 deadline approaching at 11.30am tomorrow, itโ€™s time to roll out another XI from the Scout Picks Selection Committee. Newcastle and United are firmly backed, while Everton also feature strongly in light of the Toffeesโ€™ recent form:

Tim Krul gets the nod between the posts ahead of tomorrowโ€™s home showdown with Bolton. The Magpies keeper has been in sparkling form, conceding just a single goal in the last four Gameweeks and, with the Trotters failing to score in four of their last five on the road, a clean for Alan Pardewโ€™s side is more than a distinct possibility.

This afternoonโ€™s 2-0 triumph over QPR added yet another clean sheet to Jonny Evansโ€™ recent tally. Thatโ€™s five in a row now for Evans as Unitedโ€™s defence continues to prove profitable for Fantasy managers. A trip to Wigan should hold no fear for Sir Alex Fergusonโ€™s side and with the Latics scoring just four times in the last six at the DW, Evanโ€™s looks likely to pick up the points yet again.

With just a single goal conceded in their last five at Goodison, Evertonโ€™s recent home form has proven to be particularly reliable. No surprise, then, to see us give Leighton Baines the nod ahead of a home clash against Sunderland. While the Black Cats have produced the goods at home, they have failed to score in three of their last six on the road and, with set-piece and penalty duties also capable of boosting the left-backโ€™s returns, Bainesโ€™ owners will be confident going into tomorrow afternoonโ€™s match.

A home game with West Brom brings Vincent Kompany into this Gameweekโ€™s line-up. City will clearly be devastated after todayโ€™s result but their Etihad form is unlikely to be troubled by Roy Hodgsonโ€™s side; the Baggies have netted just once in their last three on the road and looks set to afford City the perfect pick-me-up in light of their Emirates defeat.

With Steven Pienaar cup-tied for Evertonโ€™s semi-final with Liverpool, the South African looks certain to turn out in Mondayโ€™s Goodison encounter with Sunderland. Pienaar has shone in recent weeks, notching back-to-back assists in Evertonโ€™s last two league outings. The Black Cats will provide stern opposition for David Moyesโ€™ men but we feel Pienaar could be the key figure, particularly if the Everton boss rests striker Nikica Jelavic ahead of the weekend meet with Liverpool.

Having scored in his last two league outings, Theo Walcott drew a blank in the 1-0 win over City but nonetheless remains pivotal as the Gunners look to seal third place. Like so many midfielders in the Gameweek, Walcott could suffer from rotation for the trip to Wolves on Wednesday but with Arsenal playing their Gameweek 34 fixture next Monday, thereโ€™s every chance that Walcott will be given another opportunity to add to his recent goal tally when Arsenal pay visit to the basement club.

Gylfi Sigurdsson is a must for a Swansea away day. Having scored all six of his league goals on the road, the graceful Icelander remains a top Fantasy target for the Swansโ€™ visit to Loftus Road. Sigurdsson maintained his recent form with another display bristling with goal threat in Fridayโ€™s defeat to Newcastle and, despite drawing a blank, showed enough for us to back him to keep his start for the Rโ€™s clash and provide the cutting edge for Brendan Rodgersโ€™ side.

Clint Dempseyโ€™s brace at Bolton will have frustrated many Fantasy managers, having previously provided such disappointment on the road. Shifted to a strikerโ€™s role in the absence of ankle injury victim Pavel Pogrebnyak, Dempseyโ€™s two strikes proved devastating and take him into the local derby with Chelsea brimming with confidence. With Pogrebnyak still struggling to overcome his knock, Dempsey looks set to lead the line and the threat for Martin Jolโ€™s side in Mondayโ€™s clash.

Boltonโ€™s visit to the Sports Direct Arena hands Papiss Cisse another chance to plunder the Fantasy points. The Newcastle forwardโ€™s incredible run of six goals in the last three games has Fantasy managers queuing up in their thousands to get in on the action โ€“ a price rise of 0.8 since Gameweek 30 is indicative of the show of faith. With the Magpies gunning for their fifth straight win, Owen Coyleโ€™s side have an unenviable task ahead tomorrow, given Cisseโ€™s irresistible form.

When youโ€™ve gone four games without a goal, the best possible remedy is a showdown with Wolves. Robin Van Persie and on-form Arsenal now roll up to Molineux and, with the midlands outfit shipping an average of three goals per game since Terry Connorโ€™s installation, the Gunners skipper is surely set to profit once again on Wednesday evening.

Wayne Rooneyโ€™s trip to Wigan is impossible to overlook. While Cisse has been lauded for his form, the United forward has been almost as reliable, notching nine times in his last nine games as the champions edge ever-closer to retaining their title. With an eight-point gap now established at the top, Sir Alex Ferguson will be determined to go for goals once again โ€“ United have averaged three goals per game over their last five away fixtures and the Latics are likely to afford them plenty chances for further attacking returns.

While Peter Crouch is doing all he can to squeeze his lofty frame onto Englandโ€™s Euro 2012 plane, Stoke have scored just two goals in their last six away league outings. With that in mind, and having seen Villa defend like lions at Anfield, weโ€™ve opted for James Collins for the defensive role on the bench. Always a magnet for impressive performance statistics, Collins will be integral to keeping Stoke at arms length on Monday night.

QPRโ€™s Adel Taarabt claims the place on our bench for the midfield role. The Moroccan has come to the fore in recent home matches and with Djibril Cisse still suspended, Mark Hughes will likely look to Taarabt to lend his influence to QPRโ€™s ailing attack as they scrap for points against Swansea.

Steve Kean shifted Junior Hoilett back out to the flank for the trip to the Hawthorns and duly saw his side slip to defeat. With Liverpool due at Ewood Park on Tuesday, Kean will surely look to renew Hoilettโ€™s partnership with Yakubu against a Liverpool side with just one clean sheet in their last eight. Both Hoilett and Yakubu offer value, then, but we prefer the trickery and FPL price tag of the influential Hoilett for our bench role.

              ...I don't see Ba being upset make any difference though.

              Pardew will play the team in the way he assesses best and likely keep it the same it has been the last few games.

              Ba always has the chance of scoring though, it's just be Cisse on fire and form lately.

            Was going to bring Yak in for Jelavic prior to 34

            With talk of a Jelavic rotation is it worth bringing the transfer forward a week? LIV isn't the scariest fixture around anymore

            Hello deadzone! I know my mate won't be on his computer in time for the deadline today, his captaincy is still on RVP. Just opened up a 23 point lead today. Would you guys captain RVP so he is covered, captain someone we both have or captain a differential. We both have Rooney and Valencia who im considering captaining. My main differentials are Dempsey Siggy Cisse, whilst he has Walcott who could cause me a problem.

            Decisions decisions. Opinions anyone?

                Thats was my thinking, but I also know we (United) always seem to stick about 4 past Wigan and as far as im aware theyve never taken a point off us? (Someone can correct me on that if I'm wrong). Rooney has been a bit naff in the last couple of games goalscoring wise, Valencia was doubled up on for the majority of the QPR game, fergie seemed annoyed at our casualness yesterday, can see a cricket score against Wigan despite them playing well. But the safe bet would be RVP.

                  RVP should at least score similarly to United players so can't imagine you gaining much by captaining them, but you potentially have a lot more to lose by not captaining RVP.

                  Think how many Wolves have been conceding. Anyway, Demps, Cisse and Siggy should outscore Walcott this week alone to help extend the gap.

              I'd play it safe. RVP might well bag two-three goals against a Wolves team that has to have given up hope by now. RVP hasn't scored for a few games, but he was unlucky not to score against City and has looked dangerous in other games. I know the good ol' "he's due to score" line tends to come back and bite you in your ass, but come on, it's RVP against Wolves.

              Cisse might bag a couple of goals himself, but it's not worth the gamble.

              Don't even think about captaining Siggy. He can't go on scoring forever, even away from home.

              If I had Suarez and a FT, the swap would be made in a shot!

              I'm hoping Cisse draws a blank tomorrow though, as my plans do not involve getting him until GW35.

              i can also see suarez scoring v blackburn, probably with his hand
              however, that suarez -> cisse transfer does free up some much needed funds

              Stick. Ive transferred Demps out a few times and I've brought Walcott in a few times and I pretty much always regret both those decisions.

              Playing the same outfield 10 w/ Krul @ GK, and Sess Cahill, Shotton on the bench, so I hope you're team kicks ass this week! ๐Ÿ™‚

              Love the Howard punt.
              Defence ooks good for Cleanies and Verm is going to be playing further forward against Wolves because he can.
              Midfield looks great if Bale Starts, I'd move Enrique to first sub just in case he doesn't
              Front 3 is great.

              I'd do B) as Walcott vs Wolves could be a huge score. Can you remember when he played Blackpool last season, if so I'm thinking of something like that.

            Have 5.1 in the bank and 1 free transfer.
            But i have 7 Players missing next GW so will have to make 3 transfers in order to field 11 which means either a double this week or next week.

            This week i was considering doing Ryo > Walcott and maybe Wheater > Turner or Bogdan?Schawarzer > Vorm but that would mean doubling up on them this week probably... Any help welcome!

              Don't take hits to field 11 players. That is a ridiculous idea. Your team is in a better state to play the DGW fixtures than the GW34 fixtures so just ride that wave. Use your free transfer to get in GW34 players over the two weeks. Sell Ryo now as you mentioned but don't do the defensive transfer.

            I am chasing and I know my rival (with a 70 pt lead) will captain RVP. I need an explosive differential captain as its time to take risks

            I have all the usual suspects bar Cisse and I am considering captaining either Rooney, Siggy or Barfa. Which one has the best chance of ripping it up with a massive score?

                If thats the scoreline then its worth it. Do you think Rooney will drop deeper because its away though? Hernandez might start instead of Welbeck too which always affects Rooneys output

              If you want anyone other than RVP, I'd go for Cisse. Home to Bolton and you can't beat the form he's in. I'm defending a small lead and even I'm wondering if Cisse isn't the best bet (still going to do the boring thing and pick RVP, but that's only because I'm not chasing a lead).
