Rooney’s Extended Layoff Boosts The Hernandez Option

874 Comments
Share

Alex Ferguson has brought us the first dose of significant injury news of the day, suggesting that Wayne Rooney’s ankle injury will keep him sidelined for longer than the expected three week period.

The United boss revealed in today’s press conference that the striker was now likely to miss the derby clash with City on November 10. He offered a pretty vague prognosis, stating that Rooney is simply “injured and resting” ahead of the weekend meeting with Spurs but made it clear that he “could” be missing for a longer period than the intial three-week assessment. When asked on the three week absence Ferguson replied “I think it may be longer.”

This latest information is of course of interest as it boosts the Fantasy potential of Javier Hernandez. The Mexican looks nailed on for starts in Rooney’s absence given his current form and would now seem set to earn starts against Spurs, Wolves and City and possibly Aston Villa three days later. A run of four Gameweeks would certainly increase his appeal as a mid-price option up front given that he can be recruited for just 7.0 in the Fantasy Premier League Game.

With many Fantasy Managers facing up to shifting the injured Carlos Tevez from their squads, it seems that Hernandez suddenly offers improved prospects as a cheap alternative.

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

        Cant afford Chamakh without taking an 8 pointer or getting someone crap instead of Nasri, I do already have Fabregas so maybe that wouldn't be an awful decision but Nasri appears to be due a price rise whereas Chamakh just had one. Not normally overly arsed about price changes but it is fundamental in getting Tevez back

      Yeah, both have tough enough fixtures this GW but improving fixtures later. I'm actually a little tempted by Yakubu despite my earlier comments, he HAS to start scoring sometime he isn't Jason Lee! However Elmander is probably a bit of a safer bet, I jsut really fancy Everton to thump Stoke silly.

        The Yak used to be fantasy gold. Would love him to come back into form.

        Fair enough - taking an 8 pointer would be a bit much for Chamakh, he is capable of delivering 1 or 2 point returns after all!

          Problem is I brought N'Zog in two weeks ago (chasing points of all things) and looked at his fixtures and thought yes they are good. Last week I benched barton, he got an assist and it cost me the cup match, still teh right choice, but it has made me think......

          barton is on the bench at the moment, but that will prob change 3 or 4 times throughout today

              Not really, just jumped on teh Hernandez, but coudl drop Carrol, but I'm expecting a big score from him this week.

              Got a feeling thsi is going to be a big scoring week.

              Anyone remember getting 121 points last year and getting a red arrow. That really hurt

          I think wigan will get a goal or two personally, fancy it to be an open game. And if wigan score zog is likely to be involved followed by the standard bonus haul.
          Newcastle should get a couple but Barton is far from their main attacking outlet so the points could easily pass him by with the likes of Carroll and Nolan more likely to benefit.
          Could go either way though, just my 2 cents.

      I feel you, brother. I was already going to do it too. However, it benefits me in such a big way, not needing to get rid of Hernandez so soon means I can focus elsewhere on my team in a few gameweeks where I next anticipate I'll need to make changes.

            no point really imo, Foster will start all games for birmingham unless he gets injured and I've never spent much on keepers. If anything I'd sell him for one priced at 3.9. Last season I kept a strong XI (mainly midfield as they are the best value for points) and had the cheapest possible subs and it worked pretty well, plus it reduces the headache for picking who should start each week.

          You know its bad when you celebrate a goal against your own team, just because you have captained the scoring player. Even worse when your teams loses, but you're happy because you got a nice score this week.

                Even so if I had to choose between:

                FPL champion & Pompey going down to league 1
                &
                1,000,000th place & Pompey getting promoted to the Prem.

                  really, ok, so for someone who obviously is a Pompey fan as you calls yourself pompeyfan, I'm suprised by that. But maybe not as to win FPL is a great personal acheivement where as a pompey promotion is not your personal achievement, so ok, but what about a top 1000 finish?

    I can't decide how to setup my defense this week.
    As far as I see it, it's a choice between Jagielka and Mummy. Jagielka has a great chance of keeping a clean sheet plus he has had some BP the last weeks. Then again 2 EVE defenders could hurt me if Everton fails.
    Mummy is OOP and a BP magnet. Is he due for a goal soon?

    As a Newcastle fan, I'm having trouble to be neutral about the NEW-SUN game. In my mind (or heart), Newcastle will win 3-0 😀 Therefor I placed mummy on the bench. Wrong decision? Any advise is appreciated.

    My team:

    Krul
    Bos Boa Coleman Jagielka
    VdV Fabs(c) Nani
    Drogs Carroll Anelka

    (Robinson, Mummy, YaYa, Albrighton)

        I think Anelka will start, as he has been good for Chelsea lately, but not in terms of FPL points though. Hoping that will turn this weekend as he is kind of a diff. But I'm planning on selling him next GW.

          Foster and Fabianski do not rotate very well. You need to establish a policy, then sort out your goalkeepers.
          Here are a few:
          Al-Habsi & Gilks - cheap
          Foster & Jaskelainen - mid, with some prospect of saves
          Hart & Robinson - dear, but plenty of saves

      Yes...I am not jumping on the Hernandez bandwagon....I am sticking with Berbs all season now, as he is ahead of Hern. when Rooney does eventually get back.

      I cannot help thinking SAF will rotate Hern. a bit with Mechada, and Owen when he is back....whereas we know Berbs is always "nailed on" to start (except when occasionally rested due to Champs League)

      I think you have got it right (but its close). Fulham are pretty good at home so I doubt it will be a high scoring game even if Wigan win.

      I think of the three you have to go with VDV / Elmandder. Spurs will attack Man United and everything goes through VDV (inc penalties, not that anyone other than the home side gets one at OT)

      I think Malouda will continue to score plenty all season and Bale will start getting the points his performances deserve. Having said that I just swapped Bale to Fab and I plan to do Malouda to VDV next. I reckon I can maybe squeeze a few more points out of my team without them in but I'm sure they both will punish me some gw's.
