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.

    I've got my £1 weekly premiership accumulator on:

    Ars vs Sun (Arsenal)
    Ful vs Nor (Draw)
    QPR vs Swa (QPR)
    Rea vs Sto (Draw)
    W Brom vs Liv (Liverpool)
    W Ham vs Villa (Villa)
    New vs Tot (Newcastle)
    City vs South (City)
    Wig vs Che (Chelsea)
    Eve vs Man (Man United)

    2000/1 give or take. Better chance than the lottery anyway!

        0-0 possibly. Was trying not to over think anything and just go with instinct. Just thinking this Dempsey thing might have an adverse effect on the team. Bryan Ruiz is pants.

    Guys, is Mata nailed on for 2 games? Also, who would you drop from these for GW1?

    Federici
    Ivan - Zab - Hange - Gunter - Jenkinson
    Mata - Yaya - Bale - Noble - Guthrie
    Tevez - Torres (C) - Graham

    Thinking of subbing Graham, Hange & Noble......??!!

    Cheers.

      Dawson may not play so go hang until AVBs plans are clear.
      Valencia could be RB so not sure on Rafael.

      Could go Rio and a 4.5 (Russell Martin?)

    For anyone debating Cole vs Iva, Chelsea are set to sign a good new right back next week, so Iva will come under threat very soon. Iva might still be good for the DGW, but you’ll have a headache not far down the line…
