With team news for Sunday’s games still rolling in and the Fantasy deadline pushed back by 24-hours, this week’s Scout Picks will follow on Saturday afternoon. In the meantime voting for our end of season awards goes on.

We’ve added the third of our polls today, collecting your votes on the midfielders who have lit up your Fantasy season. Once again you have four votes available to you, allowing the love to spread around an array of nominations.

Cast your votes now and pop back tomorrow for the Scout Picks, a preview of the Fantasy Football Scout Cup Final and an interview with Fantasy Premier League leader Chris McGurn.

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

      Mr Ryan Taylor:

      1) He will play as Tiote and Nolan are out
      2) He is an OOP defender and will feature either RM or CM
      3) He will take corners and free kicks
      4) He is only 3.9
      5) Odemwingie is out so decent chance of a clean sheet.

    Reply to those who asked what the ref in the Accy Stanley game did.
    He (rightly) sent off two Stanley players. Obviously fearing an invasion he waited until he was relatively near the exit before blowing the final whistle then ran for his life to the dressing room. There was no invasion and the players didn’t realise he had gone and were looking around wondering what to do!! Brilliant Stuff. Look out for it on Youtube. 😀

    Huth injured
    VDV I'll probably just bench him & go 3 up front.
    Strikers are Bent, RVP and Drogs - please see link to see my full team.

        +100 !! I have Huth, Luiz and Coleman... I expect I'll need Coleman as my 3rd defender so I'm hoping he'll play 60+ and maybe get a hat trick... but its a lottery trying to pick a defender who'll keep a cleanie (not like the old days - man U, Che + 3 cheap defenders and you were set). Not worth the hit I think.

          cheers for the input chaps. I'm comfortably ahead in my mini-league so not averse to a bit of a gamble to try and get up in the overall rankings. I benched Bent last week and he scored 13 points against the Arsenal, so I'd hope he might get some at home to the 'Pool.
          May just keep the defenders I have then, as I expect cleanies may be hard to come by this week. Only prob is Luiz may not play either, so would have Johnson, Coleman and Walker, none of whom have great fixtures.

    Are West Ham players worth a punt this week or will they really not be giving a shite?

      if di canio was a town he would be the exact opposite to swindon. pretty sure it's only famous for the dyson factory

    An 8 point hit at this stage of the season just appears a bad move but with so many players out it somehow makes sense. Odem, VDV,Huth,Luiz & Silva just for starters means I should really shift 3.
    Yuk, is this right. Thinking Berbs & Nzog for cover and R.Taylor punt in for Huth,VDV & Odem.

    Any advice on below?

    Foster (Al-hab)
    Huth, Luiz, Simpson (Hughes, Bardsley)
    Yaya, Adam, Lamps, Kuyt (VDV)
    Sturridge, RVP, Suarez

    Thinking Suarez-Berba or Sturridge-Berba plus VDV-Nzog for hit?
    Any help appreciated. Defending 12 point lead.

          you could go vdv>nani is you are gutsy (will he play?). That would give you manu cover. May be safer to just go suarez>berbs. depends if you want to play sturridge, or have him as 1st sub.

        If it's anything like CoD then one player is the "host". I'm not actually sure how it works, think it means the game is played through their internet rather than having lots of different servers.

        Host advantage ftw

      Online, whenever I'm the home team, the connection is good. When I'm the away team, it is shocking. Just want to know who hosts the games, the home or away player.
