Here we are again, just a matter of hours after waving goodbye to one Gameweek, we’re thrust headlong into another. With squad rotation the major concern ahead of the 11.30 deadline, we’ve opened the doors on our Matchday Surgery chatroom to allow you throw your questions out there in real-time in a quest to gather the wisdom, or otherwise, of your fellow Fantasy managers.

Meanwhile, here’s a rundown of some links that might just be of interest as the minutes tick by…

  • Sir Paulos and the Scout Committee got their heads together on Easter Sunday to bring you the Scout Pick selection for Gameweek thirty three, soak that up right here.
  • Our exhaustive guide to all the team news has been compiled and freshly updated this morning to bring you our predicted lineups right here
  • The results from the fourth round of the Paddy Power Cup can be found here – if you want to deduce your next opponent in advance, check out our pre-determined draw here.

The Captain Poll shows over 2500 votes in less than 24-hours with Papiss Cisse heavily backed to carry his outstanding form into the home clash with Bolton later today. It’s been a while since we’ve seen Robin Van Persie and Wayne Rooney pushed down into second and third – testament to the support that Cisse is gathering right now from Fantasy managers. You’ve all got Cisse right?

If you’re worried about your Papiss-less squad or still hovering your finger over the transfer button, you can visit the Surgery chatroom for some last minute reassurance.

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

    I didn't bother with Bale > Walcott even though it made perfect sense to me. The way i see it is i've got Verm and RvP (C) and that should be enough cover. Now lets hope Bale plays.

      You never know - it could be for the best. I was in Venice on Friday, completely unaware of the Friday deadline, and just happened to go into an internet cafe and saw the deadline and made my changes. I would have been about 10 points better off if I had not changed my team (benching Schwartzer, Kelly and Simpson, in favour of Vorm, Enrique and Shotton - though at least I took the captaincy off Balotelli)

      I went up a total of 50 places! With Schwarzer 6 points, Sagna 8 points and Turner 8 points on bench.I played my two Liverpool defenders v Villa. The logic was "surely they will get a clean sheet?" "Look at the injuries Villa have".
      This week I benched my two Liverpool defenders v Blackburn. The logic was "surely blackburn will score?".

      Therefore I think everyone should back a Liverpool win and clean sheet! 🙂
