Gameweek 28 is all but upon us. Little over an hour separates us from the Merseyside-packed double Gameweek, and the Matchday Surgery opens it’s doors to aid you through the deadline.

As always, here you’ll find some very handy links for those of you a little pushed for time this morning…

  • The Scout Picks – What we think are 14 of the best fantasy prospects this week.
  • The Team News – Packed all the relevant and up-to-date information along with our predicted line-up for all 20 Premier League teams.
  • Injuries & Bans table – A more detailed view of all players with a question mark over their availability this weekend.
  • Spot the Differential – For those players we feel are big-risk but potentially big-reward this week

On top of that, there’s the Captain’s Poll which can be viewed on the home page, down the central column, to aid your armband decision. We’ve also looked at the men in the middle in our referee-based Men in Black article.

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

    Captaining RVP over Rooney this week. Am slightly concerned by arsenal match being on a Monday night.

    Is it just me or do they always feel like being tight games?

      I'm concerned that arsneal might find it hard to get themselves up for it after the milan game, but rvp will want to banish the demons of that miss so armband is on him.

        You are right i think but i cant seem to ignore the fact siggy scored twice last week and only played for 60 odd mins, But playing City def this week is a different matter i suppose.
        Thanks for your opinion.

      Don't like either move thinking opposite of everyone I guess, because I think City v Swans will be a beautiful game may even have goals in it. Both line-ups have missing pieces. Where as West Brom will dig in, and may surprise people.

        I was thinking a similar thing, however the thought of a double gameweek for Suarez is appealing. Rooney has 5 in 3 and seems to be scoring even though he's not playing that well. Think I'll probably just stick with what I have.

    After looking at odds for the 2 liverpool games I think i'm about to bottle it and give take the armband back off Skrtel and give it to Bucky!

    Trying to catch a 75 point lead so need the differential, but really think Suarez will outscore Skrtel....hmmmm, what to do?
