The coffee machine is doing overtime and Flo 'The Scout' Reinecke has left a life-size cut out of himself in the lounge for my wife and kids to remember me by. Why? It’s midweek-fixture time in the Bundesliga and he’s on call 24/7. His notebook is crammed with names that will help you climb the Official Fantasy Bundesliga table.

Bundesliga coaches like to rotate their squad during midweek fixtures. That gives you the chance to pick up a short-term bargain, but there is also the risk that your top stars won’t get game time. That happened to me with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang last weekend (I want answers Thomas Tuchel!).

Fully aware as I am of my responsibilities as Scout, I’ve combined great value players that could benefit from rotation with big-name stars that won’t fall victim to any chopping and changing.

Watch: The top five Official Fantasy Bundesliga performers from Matchday 3

Drat, now I’ve run out of coffee. It’s probably good timing actually as I need to head into town to buy some binoculars. I need them to try and pick out James 'The Coach' Thorogood and Matt 'The Expert' Howarth behind me in the office league. I might need Matt’s help to work out the difference between 294 and 22. I’m no mathematician, but I’m sure it’s a lot.
