Richards Goes Under The Knife
Man City’s Micah Richards faces several weeks on the sidelines after undergoing an cartliage operation on his knee earlier today.
The injury had kept him out of a couple of games recently, notably the Derby match with United. There’s no definite return date as yet but the club’s medical staff have stated that Richards will be monitored over the “coming days and weeks”.
Richards’ absence is almost certain to see Corluka recalled to the defence for the weekend clash with Wigan and will also prolong Onuoha’s stay in the eleven. The loss of Richards is a big one for the City defence however and will result in a further loss of confidence amongst fantasy managers following the defeat to Everton on Monday.

This is leading me to leave Hart on the bench and instead sign Reina and sell M.Taylor. To fund this the other M.Taylor is being sold possibly for Noble, but I am tempted by Pienaar.
Mark - Do you see Pienaar getting a start this week and most league games or is likely to be rotated with Fernandes depending on forthcoming UEFA Cup games?
Short term I’m tempted with Noble for the double gameweek, but I feel I’ll then wish I had Pienaar for the 5 or 6 games from next week.
They are both 4.5 - which way would you go?

I have both Hart and Cerny.
Who would be a better option this week? I reckon Cerny.
I still have Ball.
