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.

      Well balanced, maybe a little cheap in midfield. I am not sure about Cazorla just yet, could be a great punt though.

        I may switch out Torres, but after GW2 as a double switch. There's bound to be someone else I'm not happy with by then. Would rather use the cash now and not save it.

        I agree - get Yaya and upgrade Holt - would be a good start.
        Also get two £4m defenders (Demel, Clyne?) so you can upgrade others.
