All this week you've had the pleasure of sharing our thoughts on players who have been given us a selection headache in one way or another. Will they be fit? Will he get dropped? Is he good enough?
The truth though is behind the scenes at InsideFPL it's all serene waters. There have been tough decisions to make of course, but the kind of decisions where it's all good. Should we pick Coutinho and Dzeko or Mirallas and Sturridge? Koscielny or Mertersacker? How actually do you spell Koscienly?
The truth of it all, as far as picking the players is concerned, is we don't know what will happen. No one can predict what will actually happen. Goals in football are rare events. This is why Wigan fans can now forever treasure winning the F.A.Cup and why football has become endeared to us as all 'The Beautiful Game'.
We do know some things. Van Persie will score more goals than Aaron Ramsey. Ramsey will score more than Tony Hibbert. But in the finest of margins in which fantasy minileagues are won or lost all we can really do is pick from a group of players with a good chance of points and then roll the dice.
Acknowledging this is key to becoming a top manager in FPL. Building your team to have the right balance between defence and attack, the right mix of risk and reward, the right blend of security and potential.
And this is how we'll stay cool whatever happens over the weekend. We don't know which players will score the most points but we do know that if all goes pear-shaped and we ask ourselves, in hindsight, if we would have done anything different, the answer will be no.
Regrets... we'll have a few, but then again, too few to mention.
