Matchday Surgery

In just under two hours, we’d have sent our final Fantasy teams over the line and will have started counting down the weeks until we start afresh. Our Matchday Surgery chatroom has opened up that little bit early to help savour what remains of the season…

Before you consider indulging in some real-time interaction, here’s a quick summary of the week so far on the Scout…

  • Sir P’s Scout Picks were aired on early on Friday evening, bringing you the final selection from the Scout Committee this term.
  • Big Dunc duly delivered something different 24-hours later, providing three alternative solutions for your morning transfer ration.
  • Andy examined the Captain Poll results, wandering the various avenues open to those protecting their lead or chasing the seemingly unbridgeable gap.
  • Anorak brought Men in Black to a close for the season with a match-by-match breakdown of Sunday’s whistleblowers and what they could bring to our afternoon.
  • As Akers revealed, mch and DrD will play out the grand final of the Paddy Power Cup VI over this afternoon’s games. Good luck to those guys.
  • I pulled Granville kicking and whining into the studio for one last ScoutCast before the curtain fell. Witness the whimpering here.
  • Our members were treated to one last Numbers Game analysis article, as we rinsed through our ICT Index to present the form players in each position going into the final day.
  • We announced our first Euro 2012 Fantasy match-up, as Picklive came on board just in time for their Final Day Game. If you live in the UK and Ireland and fancy a punt for a £1000 prize pot, entry is open until kick-off with just over 100 teams entered so far.

The final pre-match preamble of the 2011/12 season follows in just a bit. You shouldn’t need a coat, the sun’s out.

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