Scout Scribbles- Balotelli to Face FA Charge
Filed under: Scout Notes - Posted by: Mark
Mario Balotelli faces a four-match ban after appearing to stamp on Scott Parker. Reports suggest Peter Crouch could also be under investigation for an alleged eye-gouging incident at the weekend, Nani could be out for a fortnight, while Frank Lampard is set to miss Chelsea’s FA Cup game with QPR.
Mario Balotelli has until tomorrow evening to appeal or accept the charges of violent conduct dished out by the FA last night. Having examined footage of the incident in which Balotelli appeared to stamp on Tottenham’s Scott Parker, referee Howard Webb confirmed he would have dismissed the Italian striker. A three-match ban is the normal punishment for such a charge, but with Balotelli already seeing red at Anfield earlier in the season, he now faces a four-match ban which will begin with tomorrow night’s Carling Cup tie with Liverpool.
Should Balotelli look to appeal, he will be eligible for tomorrow’s game, although an unsuccessful appeal could extend his ban further. Given that the FA have already used footage to assess the incident and the fact that we’re dealing with Howard Webb – the FA’s most senior official – it would seem most unlikely that the charge will be overturned. City may feel more confident, however.
For Fantasy managers, Balotelli’s likely absence from three league games against (eve, FUL, avl), will raise the profile of Edin Dzeko as an option. The Bosnian has started City’s previous four games and earned an assist in Sunday’s 3-2 victory. Having begun the season in outstanding form, Dzeko clearly has the potential to offer an effective differential and provide at least a short-term alternative to the 11.1 Sergio Aguero.
Peter Crouch is another striker potentially in trouble. A report in the Daily Mirror claims that the FA have agreed to examine footage of an incident which appeared to show Crouch gouging the eyes of West Brom’s Jonas Olsson. Crouch could miss the FA Cup match with Derby on Saturday as well as league games against Manchester United and Sunderland.
There are further details emanating from Old Trafford concerning the casualties suffered in Sunday’s 2-1 win at the Emirates. On the plus side, The Times are amongst those reporting that Phil Jones’ ankle injury is not as severe as anticipated, suggesting that he has not suffered the ligament damage that Sir Alex Ferguson feared. There’s possibly a chance that Jones will be fit to face Liverpool in the FA Cup this weekend, with reports claiming he is feeling no real discomfort in the ankle.
Nani is more of a concern, however. There are several reports stating a likely two-week absence for the Portuguese winger, who was said to leave the Emirates wearing a protective boot. The Daily Mail claim that Nani has himself stating a likely absence and state that United are set to scan the injury, for fear of a cracked a metatarsal. Elsewhere, Wayne Rooney and Michael Carrick are expected to be available for the weekend Cup tie, despite suffering ankle and hamstring problems respectively.
Chelsea hope to have Frank Lampard available for the trip to Swansea next week, after scans revealed that the midfielder suffered just a small tear to his calf muscle in the 0-0 stalemate at Carrow Road. Meanwhile, Andre Villas-Boas has confirmed the reasons behind Gary Cahill’s omission from the Chelsea squad at Norwich.
Gary Cahill trained with the team for three days and there are team principles to learn first, but he had a very good week and showed all his qualities.
Cahill is in line for his Chelsea debut this weekend and could make his first league appearance for the club at the Liberty next week. He is already amongst the most popular defensive signings in the Fantasy Premier League game, attracting over 6,000 transfers so far in the Gameweek, despite his no-show on Saturday. Look out for our Scout Report on Cahill’s prospects later in the week.
Still in West London, and the Mark Hughes revolution looks set to begin with the capture of AC Milan left-back Taye Taiwo. Reports on Sky yesterday claimed that a work permit has been granted as the deal reached its conclusion. Fantasy managers will be monitoring the Loftus Road entrance for new arrivals prior to the transfer window closing, as Rangers approach a run of opponents that could see their Fantasy output increase dramatically. A move for City’s Nedum Onuoha is also mooted, although a potential deal for Chelsea’s Alex looks to be in jeopardy amidst reports that the Brazilian prefers a move to Paris St Germain.

Hey gents, I may be a slowpoke but have the goals and saves of the season been released? »
“I love to attack and I love to go up front...It is a little more difficult than when you are playing centre-back. If you play the way that I want to play, I think my influence is better as a left-back. For the team, it is best that I play as a centre-back. I like to bring the ball out. You need to move the game quickly, and that is one of my qualities as well.”

Thank you for the faith, Dr Doos. But I can’t see more than 1 goal if any from that game. With so many chances at Norwich, we couldn’t finish even a single one. Now at the Liberty, we’ll have only a handful chances, meh.
January 24 at 3:44 pm
Doosra says:
No – if the manager doesn’t completely cock it up – your ball retention will be the equal of theirs, with slightly better accuracy. Britton may have to contend with Ramires, and I think the Chelsea man will win. Then it is a case of who scores – and I am sure someone will!

I’m pretty set on RVP & Helguson for my WC strikers at least for the next 6 GW.
Got Zamora as my 3rd as they also have ideal fixtures with 3 at home and a short trip to QPR. Should I consider Welbeck instead of Zamora or just leave it?
I have Evans & Valencia for United coverage and Dempsey for Fulham.

Shawcross , Simpson ,Kompany, Enrique (Senderos)
Silva Bale Sess Walters (Ferguson)
RVP Sturridge Aguero
Suggestions are welcome, tnq
January 24 at 3:38 pm

take out enrique for Evans and Shawcross for Brown/Bardsley and upgrade Ruddy to Krul or Mignolet and upgrade Feugson to Buzsaky/BARFA/Sigurddsno and take out Sturridge for Zamora IMO.
January 24 at 3:39 pm

way too much in defence
downgrade shawcross i guess
upgrade ferguson to mclean
January 24 at 3:37 pm

any advice that you guys can give
lindergaard krul
kompany enrique simpson shotton kelly
silva valencia bale dempsey mclean
rvp aguero adebayor
will look to do adebayor to ba and shotton to cahill/huth/shawcross in the near future but i reckon this team is good for now with ba out and ade at home to wigan..
January 24 at 3:38 pm
elninorules needs a funky WC idea for GW24-28. Speak to me! says:
WC-ers, would love to hear your thoughts
Here are my reasons against WC-ing in gw23:
1. Looking to renovate my defence with the WC & bring in City defenders. Not a good week for that, I suppose?
2. I’m late on the Valencia ship and doubting his returns for the future. Nani fit would have been nice (sadly I was set up for this week) and since he isn’t, do you think Sess with this form should cover my hit, yeah?
3. My initial reasoning for WC-ing in gw24:
I can eat into potential bargains from the transfer window by waiting that extra week, gain a clearer picture of the Balotelli ban, Gayhill’s nailed-on-ness and find out who wins between Liv/Mci. Also, if all goes acc to plan, Ba might be back as early as GW24. Beast.
January 24 at 3:40 pm
Mac says:
My reasons for not WCing this week: My team is good for this week.
My reasons for WCing next week: my team is rubbish for that week.
January 24 at 3:47 pm
elninorules needs a funky WC idea for GW24-28. Speak to me! says:
+ Ditto.
Sess & Dempsey were far too tempting to miss out. Hence, I’m on my toes.
January 24 at 3:49 pm
Mac says:
I already have Dempsey and Sess. If I didn’t I might be more inclined to WC.
I’m going to miss out on Valencia and Silva at their current prices but I’ll live.
January 24 at 3:41 pm
SMOOTH says:
i would do it 24 too but i was bordering in terms of affording my team and with valencia sess dempsey lindergaard all likely to rise..(some twice or three times) i will be almost 1m over by the end of this week
therefore iv alrready pulled the trigger
infact i should have doen it last week. instead of nani and drenthe (2 pts) i would have had valencia and dempsey (33 pts)
January 24 at 3:49 pm
elninorules needs a funky WC idea for GW24-28. Speak to me! says:
Yeah but it’s all about points after all, isn’t it?
I wouldn’t have Sess after gw24, Dempsey after gw28 and valencia anytime. So not too much profit when you sell them unless Dempsey rips it apart once again.
Last week was a good one to WC. We’ve missed it, let’s bang our heads now
January 24 at 3:43 pm
belha nadaliste says:
nice juggs
January 24 at 3:43 pm
Rufige says:
You havent convinced me glad i pressed the button this week would of missed out on two or three players i really wanted if not. If there are any potential bargains in the window i will transfer them in.
January 24 at 3:44 pm
My two cents says:
Good reasoning. I wouldn’t do it this week unless you have already started. I always planned for this week to shift Baines and Drenthe. Hoping to move BAE out for Cahill if he start on Tuesday
January 24 at 3:47 pm
Demi says:
1) I don’t know what makes you think it isn’t a good week, with Kompany back now, and Everton hardly scoring.
2) Don’t think you’re late on valencia. The people wildcarding now are getting him in. Nani could be injured, Valencia’s safe for the near future.
3) Don’t think there’ll be that many transfers, that would make you want to wait 1 more week. You could make a wc team for the next 2 weeks, from GW 23 and then use your 2 freebies for potential new signings/injuries
4) We can find out the repercussions for Liv-City Dgw in gw 23, as we’ll know the result. Even if Ba returns by when you want to wildcard which is quite unlikely, i doubt he’ll be ready to start straight away, so don’t think that’s a reason to put your wc off till the last week. We’ll find out the result of Balotelli’s ban this week too.
January 24 at 3:56 pm
elninorules needs a funky WC idea for GW24-28. Speak to me! says:
I feared that was coming, Demster. Cheers on your thoughts!
I guess I was trying to find a solid reason to try and WC in gw24. Sadly I can’t find any valid reason except I have a decent looking team this week.
Would you trigger the WC with this team?
Given
Enrique Walker Evans
Sess Bale Demp McClean
RVP Studge Kun
Subs – Vorm Moses Simpson Shotton
0 FT 5.6 Bank WC available 1 Hit
January 24 at 3:59 pm
Demi says:
Ahh yeah, probably not. Didn’t know you had Dempsey and Sess who’ve both got good fixtures this week. Think you can definitely hold off till week 24 then and sell the likes of Enrique/Walker and perhaps change your g.k. combo then, along with Sturridge if you want to. So those are your reasons to wildcard then(24).
January 24 at 4:04 pm
elninorules needs a funky WC idea for GW24-28. Speak to me! says:
Do have both but at the cost of a hit. Guess it still makes sense to hold off right?
It might also mean a loss in the first leg in the QFs of our cup match since McNulty has a considerably better team for this week with fit United players. But I’m willing to put that in the back of my mind.
You’ve WC-ed Demster?
January 24 at 4:04 pm

Yes and yes

Fratboy - BIGGEST UNDER-ACHIEVER says:
1. Great week to start with a City defence, unless you think Saha is a threat
2. Valencia is our best player at the moment, wish I could fit him in!
3. Wildcarding in GW24 and getting Ba immediately is a great idea!

January 24 at 3:41 pm

Are you convinced about Dzeko? I’m slightly pessimistic. Mancini has played with only Aguero up-front a few times in the season and has flourished.

Any Sess owners planning on getting rid after this week? stk ARS wba new LIV will be his next five, not ideal, but then again his form is brilliant.
My original plan, before I caved in and wildcarded two weeks earlier, was to have him for the two easy home games SWA NOR, but he wouldn’t be in my week 24 wildcard team.
January 24 at 3:44 pm
Now back to me says:
Yes, despite him being absolute garbage, i will be bringing in Jonathon Walters.
January 24 at 3:45 pm
jamsiep says:
Even if he’s lost penalty duties? Etherington is a decent penalty taker and Walters has now missed two this season.
January 24 at 3:47 pm
Now back to me says:
Has he lost penalty duties though? I would prefer Etherington.
January 24 at 3:50 pm

if lampard starts against swansea ill be keeping sess as ill do lamps to vdv then vdv to silva
if lamps doesnt start ill save my transfer n do lamps, sess out the following week
January 24 at 3:49 pm
jamsiep says:
Other way round, surely?
But yeah, makes sense to me. Would you captain VDV this week? I think I will.
January 24 at 3:51 pm
tosey says:
yeh sorry!!
if lamps isnt a starter n vdv is just off ade or defoe then yeh hed be in n captain. rvp if not
January 24 at 3:54 pm
jamsiep says:
Good point about where he’ll be playing. I’d imagine it will be in behind Ade, but if he’s playing wide right with two up top, then there’s no way I’m captaining him.
January 24 at 3:55 pm
tosey says:
i have a feeling defoe may well keep his place, at the expense of who im unsure

Think that’s a good move personally. Can see VDV doing a pop-up pirate this week.

Mac says:
Quite possibly on my WC. Let him continue to rise then bank it.
Saying that he is a good player, playing in a side brimming with confidence and OOP.
Not sure who I’d be looking to replace him with though, perhaps a cheapie and then have
Silva Bale Valencia Dempsey Siggy

Typical tosh because there’s no genuine transfer movement. Sky just filling webspace. I can’t see much happening before end-Jan, although there’s bound to be a mini flurry of activity on the final day.

All you old-timer-insiders or just people who have a clue:
I wanna know what´s the deal with some of you every now and then posting
“KLAXON” ??
Me being Finnish and generally a little slow, it just hasn´t opened up to me. Every time this happens i can´t help feeling left out. Like an outsider… But i so wanna belong to the inner circle. The circle of trust. With the cool kids.
Oh, please won´t you explain

Marvelous. Thought after the theme “oooookaay, what the effin´ F has this got to do with anything” We didn´t get that obviously spectacular show here.
But good. Don´t tell me. I wanna figure it out for myself. Check my celebrations out when I find out
Cheers Ginkapo!!

Danny Murphy is a bad FPL player, so every time someone mentions him they can be warned with “said” ***KLAXON*** that it is a poor choice.

Really want Big Younes Kaboul this week. Would you bring him in on a WC even if he only has 2 good games in 5? After that, his fixtures look great.

Mignolot or Lindegaard to rotate with Krul
January 24 at 4:27 pm
Count Of Monte Hristo says:
I was looking at these 3 also. I think i’m going with Mignolet & Lindegaard. I’m not sure how many CS Newcastle will keep. Krul & Mignolet rotate well though.

Back on the horse says:
might capt Ade this week. i mean, he’s been a bit shit recently but he can come good and he’s well rested, might be up for a bit of flat track bullying of Wigan?
January 24 at 4:18 pm
Count Of Monte Hristo says:
Yeah he has been poor but he is due a good GW. Wigan are terrible and Caldwell will no doubt make it easier for Ade.

Vorm Bodgan
Simpson Senderos Caulker Ekotto Richards
Sess Silva Bale Dempsey Walters
RVP Aguero Rooney
I am doing, Walters to Silva, then Rooney to Welbeck.
Am I doing the right thing and Rooney to Welbeck or Helguson?
