Early Midweek Team News
With the gameweek kicking off rather abruptly tomorrow evening (Don’t forget the 7.30 FPL deadline) you’re going to need all the team news you can get, nice and early.
I’ve spent the evening rounding up all the latest knocks and bruises from the weekend in the injuries and bans table and presented you with my early thoughts on the lineups for the midweek games here. Expect updates throughout the day tomorrow leading up to that nasty FPL deadline.











Ronaldo’s explosions are coming, his dribblings are coming, umbrellas up! Someone please tell me that Barry, Gordon and Woodgate will start midweek.

Thanks holmesy, I feel much better now. In the Guardian game my 11 are fixed from the weekend (Woody and Gordy didn’t play) so I could do with a bit of injury related good luck.

Great early round up, Mark
This is where your site excels!
Just one small (or large) duplication.
I know Paramot of Portsmouth is a big lad but I’m not sure he could cover both Left and Right Full back positions!
I’m hoping Belhadj will be at Left Back but he’ll be on my bench tomorrow anyway and then out for Traore who always seems due a rest but just keeps on going!

i think Torres is close to a return but not sure it will be keane who will make way. surely Kuyt will be the one to drop out?

I think torres will start on the bench and if Pompey do well Torres will come on as a sub to try and get a goal
But the lucky scousers will prob get some deflected goal and be seen as title contenders, pffft

I am very tempted to swap Ash Young for Kalou this week
Ive been waiting for what feels like an age for Young to get a decent haul and so far he hasn’t justified his hefty price tag
If I do transfer him out though sods law dictates that either:
a. Young will have a stormer against Rovers
b. Kalou won’t play or have a shocker
Still tempted though any thoughts

Ashley hasn’t caught fire yet and I have similar thoughts, but he’s been plugging away and has some attractive fixtures in the offing. I’m going to give him at least a couple more games.

Considering Kalou this week then bringing Young back for the newcastle game followed by Boro
Young is obviously the better long term option, just think Hull will get pounded by Chelski

Is it worth using two transfers for that?
[Reply]
Reply by fergiesrednose on October 28 12:07 am:
They would be free?
But nah not really just don’t need to use any transfers this week
[Reply]
Reply by dunk on October 28 12:11 am:
Don’t know how your FPL tranfers work, I play the Guardian game (I keep saying that because no-one else does) and I get 5 transfers per month and that’s it, so you can’t really waste them.

So is Arbeloa starting after picking up a 5th yellow?
[Reply]
Reply by jms on October 28 3:55 am:
Riera got the yellow, not Arbeloa.

Reply by Will on October 27 11:58 pm:
Fran, what defines a ‘Ronaldo Lover’? just someone who has him in their team?
[Reply]
Reply by Fran on October 28 12:01 am:
Easy one Will - just someone who makes him captain every week and buy him even though he makes their team very unbalanced.
[Reply]
Reply by fergiesrednose on October 28 12:03 am:
My team unbalanced?
VDS
Laursen Evra Carragher Bosingwa
RONALDO SWP A.Young Arteta
Defoe Zaki
Schwarzer, Delap, Miller, Figueora

Reply by dunk on October 28 12:04 am:
I like your team fergiesrednose, it seems well balanced.
[Reply]
Reply by dunk on October 28 12:08 am:
And fran didn’t say your team was unbalanced, merely that a ‘Ronaldo lover’s team was. I have Ronaldo, but I think my team is fairly well balanced also.

Ronaldo is a wanker, see him diving on sunday!

Reply by Fran on October 28 12:10 am:
Did he play on Sunday too! No wonder he needs to be rested?

Reply by dunk on October 28 12:16 am:
Ronaldo is going to explode and dribble all over this season. If that makes him a wanker then more power to his elbow Tighty!
