After a record day for traffic on the site, we’re expecting a further surge for this morning’s crunch before deadline. As a result, we’ve opened our Surgery Chatroom nice and early to help relieve the pressure on comments and give you the option of real-time feedback.

A reminder to our members that the members area has its own domain at members.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk should we experience any issues on the main site this morning.

The wait for the new season is almost over, the urge to carry out last minute tinkering building. We’ll follow this up with the first Pre-amble of the season and there we’re over to the Dugout Discussion just before the fist kick-off at 3pm. Exciting.

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

    Is R. Martin a much safer choice in the Norwich defence than R. Bennett?

    Doing Torres to Rooney for GW2 defo.
    If it were you, would you do:

    a) Mata for double then -4 to get Bale for GW2.
    b) Bale from the start?

      I'm saving Rooney until week 3, getting bale in week 2 and no hits. That's the plan anyway

    Hey guys what's the back 4 for West Ham? I've got McCartney in but 'team news' section says Demel is RB,....

      Its a mine field really, but to be fair, the scouts very rarely get it wrong so Demel is most likely if thats what it says.

    The following article predicts West Ham defender Tomkins to play OOP at right mid. (http://www.goal.com/en-gb/match/80816/west-ham-vs-aston-villa/preview)
