Scout Scribbles- Cahill and Luiz Both Out of Newcastle Game
Filed under: Scout Notes - Posted by: Paul
Roberto Di Matteo rules David Luiz and Gary Cahill out of Chelsea’s home clash with Newcastle tomorrow. Danny Welbeck could be a doubt for United due to an ankle problem, Matt Jarvis expects to overcome a groin problem for Wolves’ home game with Everton, while Newcastle welcome back Gabriel Obertan and Sylvain Marveuax to the first-team squad ahead of their trip to the Bridge:
David Luiz and Gary Cahill have both been ruled out of Chelsea’s game with Newcastle tomorrow evening. Roberto Di Matteo confirmed the defensive duo will be missing from the Magpies clash, though with Branislav Ivanovic available after a three-game suspension, his options at the back have increased from Sunday’s squad against QPR. Ivanovic is likely to partner John Terry in the heart of defence against Alan Pardew’s visitors, with Jose Bosingwa perhaps favourite to get the nod over Paulo Ferreira at right-back. Although reports earlier today suggested Luiz is on course to recover in time for Saturday’s FA Cup Final with Liverpool, the interim Chelsea boss gave no indication of a time scale for a return.
Reports suggest Danny Welbeck could be an injury doubt for United after leaving Old Trafford with a protective boot on his ankle last night. Welbeck was in decent form heading into the City match, with two goals and a pair of assists in his last couple of Gameweeks but dropped out of the starting lineup as a result of United’s change to a 4-5-1. Climbing off the bench with just over half an hour left, he was subject to a heavy challenge by Nigel De Jong, resulting in Sir Alex Ferguson and Roberto Mancini squaring up on the Etihad touchline – with United needs goals on Sunday, Javier Hernandez could be a decent differential as Swansea roll up to Old Trafford.
Matt Jarvis expects to overcome the groin problem that forced him off at Swansea last weekend. The Wolves winger lasted 71 minutes at the Liberty, returning two goals and the maximum bonus points for his Fantasy owners and continues to be the main performer for the midlands outfit under Terry Connor, having scored five of the side’s 10 goals since the dismissal of Mick McCarthy. With Wolves grabbing four at Swansea last weekend, it seems as if caution has been thrown firmly to the wind and, with their final home game of the season against Everton followed by a trip to Wigan, Jarvis has the potential to continue his recent strong form.
Gabriel Obertan has declared himself fit and available for Newcastle’s trip to Chelsea tomorrow evening. The winger has failed to feature since Gameweek 28 due to an ankle problem but is likely to be on the bench as Newcastle look to bounce back from their 4-0 thrashing at Wigan last weekend. Sylvain Marveaux is likely to join him – the Frenchman has recovered from hip and groin problems which have ruled him out since November.

expected the unexpected…….bolton vs wba will be the unexpected one for me that give a lot of goals…
what do you think?

Remember Tchyoi las year? Hattrick on the last day of the season.

yes, i remembered it, maybe this week will go to odem…

Whatever happened to Tchoyi?
May 1 at 6:39 pm
Hatliz - JT kicks ass! says:
After the hat-trick Hodgson said he didn’t know he was that good and promised he would get more starts this season. Never happened. I had Tchoyi in the back of my head all summer and had him in the first few weeks.

Why is it that I’m just watching MOTD now and I’m still hoping my players score when I already know they don’t.

Killitzer says:
hi all
so far I’ve been beaten to a pulp this week with Cisse captain. Any advice for next week? I might have to go Dempsey captain for an all out risk as my rival will be bringing in Rooney and making him captain.
Vorm, Mign
Clichy, JEvans, Hibbert, Turner, Simpson
Dempsey, HBA, Bale, Siggy, Pienaar
Cisse, RVP, Rooney
£5 in bank
options:
Turner > Verm
HBA/Siggy> Nasri/nani/Silva etc
Any opinions?
May 1 at 4:35 pm
fuml_akimbo says:
Why not just captain RVP if your rival will captain Rooney?
May 1 at 4:37 pm
zdawg says:
I’m in a similar position with my rival not having RVP so will capt Rooney. He is a few points ahead so im debating whether to make it up on differentials or to be audacious and capt RVP
May 1 at 4:41 pm
fuml_akimbo says:
Surely RVP then becomes a differential for you over your rival?

siggy, to get more money

Count Of Monte Hristo says:
People need to get over the fact that the FA ended up going for Hodgson over Redknapp. ‘Arry’ was in the frame mostly due to a media driven campaign putting him as clear favourite. Journalists are naturally going to favour a manager like Arry who has a good rapport with them and communicates well with them so they chose to run the stories in favour of Redknapp being the automatic choice for the England job.
When Spurs were in great form Redknapp was an outstanding manager. When their results went wonky of late he is tactically naive. Football fans and journalists are a fickle breed. Liverpool aside Hodgson is a good manager and will have a chance of giving something different to the England set up.
May 1 at 4:37 pm
Donnie Chen says:
Good luck to Roy, I think he’s an excellent choice. If the squad players undermine him I’ll be most annoyed.
I’d get rid of Lamps, Terry and much of the old guard after the Euros in any case. Do we really want to build the side around them in 2014?
May 1 at 4:51 pm
jungle says:
Good call – the old guard are way too full of ego. That lot have disappointed me so often in the past I am finding it really hard to muster up any love for them in June…

Gaz Downright says:
Hodgson is perfect for the job.

GreenWindmill - If Taiwo Hadn't Kept A Clean Sheet Trabzonspor Would Have Won The Champions League says:
I’ve got a lot of time for Hodgson and think he’s probably the manager best equipped to cope with the job. But then I said the same when he went to Liverpool.
May 1 at 4:40 pm
kev90787 says:
Simpson is yellow flagged also. How on earth can someone score less that one in a DGW?
May 1 at 4:43 pm
Shipstontrev says:
At least he didn’t get sent off!
May 1 at 4:44 pm

At least if he doesn’t play he can’t lose us any more.

repost
do yo guys think its worth it to do aguero to rooney this week and rooney back to aguero in 38. or should i just stick with aguero for the next 2 and use my 2 remaining transfers to bring in moses and torres for the final week. most rivals have cisse and will surely do cisse to rooney this week.
May 1 at 4:49 pm
Shipstontrev says:
I would save the transfer.
May 1 at 4:41 pm

Is Geoff Shreeves going to be at the Bolton v Spurs game tomorrow? The opening line: So Harry, you didn’t get the England job then – are you happy for Roy?”

Mata Silva Cisse Bale
Who to bench for next gw?
May 1 at 4:46 pm
Donnie Chen says:
Cisse…
May 1 at 4:46 pm
aatish says:
Cisse or Mata
May 1 at 4:48 pm
Impressive Tackle says:
Cisse even though I’ll be hoping and praying for him to score.
May 1 at 4:50 pm
pjomara says:
If benching Cisse, you may as well sell, especially as price will drop and lots of preferable strikers for 37 and 38 e.g. RVP, Jelavic, Aguero, Rooney
May 1 at 4:47 pm
James_Fitz says:
So….how bad are Evans’ and Cahill’s injuries?
May 1 at 4:48 pm
jkisthe1 says:
well Evans might make it for weekend, Cahill definitely out tomorrow, will he be fit for the cup final?
Looking unlikely
May 1 at 4:54 pm
Funkyav says:
Evans will prob be back for next game
Cahill wont be for a couple of games at least i hear
May 1 at 4:50 pm

Smurf says:
My Euro’s team would be:
…………………Hart………………
Walker / Terry / Cahill / Cole
……..Parker / Lampard……….
Walcott /….. AOC …../ Young
…………….Welbeck…………….
Rooney in for AOC when available. Lampard in to play his more reserved role like he currently is for Chelsea to give us more protection.
Surely we have to have as little of the “Old Guard” as possible in preparation for the next World Cup as we won’t do anything in this tournament.
Who would your team be?
May 1 at 4:55 pm
EpicFAIL - Sporting Lisbon RIP </3 AVFC <3 says:
I’d have Defoe over Welbeck.
May 1 at 4:57 pm
Funkyav says:
defoe who cant get in the spurs side or Wlebeck who plays for Manutd. no contest imo.
May 1 at 5:01 pm
EpicFAIL - Sporting Lisbon RIP </3 AVFC <3 says:
Playing for Man Utd doesn’t automatically somehow make a player brilliant.
May 1 at 5:07 pm
Funkyav says:
no i know that
I still would rather take welbecks potential over Defoe
May 1 at 5:09 pm
EpicFAIL - Sporting Lisbon RIP </3 AVFC <3 says:
Yeah that’s fair enough preferring him, was just saying that playing for Man Utd isn’t a reason.
Personally I think the fact that I’m even considering Defoe shows how much England are lacking decent forwards.
May 1 at 5:08 pm
True_Blue says:
but it gives extra chance to have a penalty
May 1 at 4:55 pm
Gervinho's Forehead > Kim Kardashian's Buttcheek says:

Gervinho's Forehead > Kim Kardashian's Buttcheek says:
He’s too shite to even make this team
May 1 at 4:56 pm
Funkyav says:
Mine would be like that but I wouldnt have Walcott in at all.
I would quite like to see Gerrard play from the right. I remember him playing there for a season for Liverpool and doing great. He could swap with AOC as and when too.
May 1 at 4:52 pm
Michael says:
Is anyone else being put off by the dreaded early kick off when picking a Captain
May 1 at 4:55 pm
EpicFAIL - Sporting Lisbon RIP </3 AVFC <3 says:
Yep. I know it makes no sense whatsoever, but if in doubt I will captain the player playing latest.

May 1 at 4:54 pm

Any news on Kelly lads? Has he traveled to Liverpool? Its very important not to play.
May 1 at 4:54 pm

Very important!!
May 1 at 4:56 pm
shitonastick says:
I have McClean as a first sub….
May 1 at 5:10 pm
Mull- Looks forward to Euro 2012 fantasy says:
I have Kompany first sub. 14 points.
May 1 at 4:56 pm
jkisthe1 says:
Ok folks so my lead is 33 points. What do we make for the rest of this week?
Me – Jags, Bale, Dempsey, VdV (c), Cisse, Jelly
Him – Terry, Walker, HBA, Jelly (c)
May 1 at 5:02 pm
aatish says:
Breaking this down further :
You : Jags , Bale ,Dempsey VDV(c) , Cisse
Him : Terry , Walker , HBA , Jelly
I think you ..
May 1 at 5:04 pm
jkisthe1 says:
well I don’t lose 100% on Jelly, I just don’t have him captained.
May 1 at 5:06 pm
aatish says:
You have Jelly and he has him captain so it can be broken down to Jelly for him without captain and no Jelly for you ..
May 1 at 5:08 pm
jkisthe1 says:
that is a good point, didn’t think of it like that
May 1 at 5:13 pm
aatish says:
May 1 at 5:13 pm
Wozza says:
think your be fine especially as already got Jelly covered…
im still nursing a serious migraine after my nearest rival picked up a magical 100 pts on his wild card
i only got 54 after my pts hit with 7 to play …now only 39 in the lead and about to kick the dog if he gets another pts haul tonight and tomorrow…i hate DGW’s
so chin up you are looking good
May 1 at 5:00 pm
James_Fitz says:
If you could have any defender under 6.7m for next week, who would it be?
(Aready have Verm)
May 1 at 5:01 pm
jkisthe1 says:
Jagielka or Kaboul
May 1 at 5:04 pm
aatish says:
Walker , likes going forward and delivers crosses in the box..
May 1 at 5:00 pm
Jafooli says:
Szczesny, Al-Habsi or Freidal for the final 2 GWs? First to three?
May 1 at 5:04 pm
Shipstontrev says:
I’m surprising myself, but Al-Habsi.
May 1 at 5:08 pm
manu4life99 says:
Szczeny
May 1 at 5:02 pm

My defence isn’t very healthy:
BAE, Evans, Simpson, Verm, Caulker
Any suggestions on who to get in?
May 1 at 5:05 pm
jkisthe1 says:
Evans and Verm will be ok.
Dump BAE for 1 of Jagielka, Walker, Kaboul or Huth
May 1 at 5:06 pm
Shipstontrev says:
a physio? Walker/Jags/Evra
May 1 at 5:10 pm

Only if its chelseas one

Hi guys,
I need a few city players for the run in as i don’t have any at the moment.
Which should I do?
(A) Adebayor
Tevez / Aguero
Jelavic & Nasri ( -4 point hit)
Aguero & Nasri ( -4 point hit)
Nasri
(B) Adebayor & Siggy

VDV or Demps for Nani?

None imo ..

i wouldnt swap either of them for Nani.. he was crap last night… and with only 2 games left i cant see the point of getting him in at all…differential or not…
May 1 at 5:06 pm
mclaren says:
Just let go of Siggy for Moses. No-brainer really.
May 1 at 5:06 pm
manu4life99 says:
Gw 37:
A) Moses or yakubu or welbeck?
B) Bogdan or Al Habsi
May 1 at 5:08 pm
Shipstontrev says:
Moses (or Maloney)
Al Habsi
May 1 at 5:10 pm
Natas says:
yakubu i wouldnt trust wellbeck may be out – I would add Odemwingie to that list – was very unlucky not to score v villa and took many shots. Bolton will be playing very open and desperate to score goals and win. Odemwingie can be killer on a counter. Most underrated punt for this week imo.
B) Based on my Odemwingie punt – would go with Habsi – Wigan have become a big posession team of late and we saw against Tottenham Blackburns ambition against a possession team.
May 1 at 5:14 pm

some good points there, hadn’t considered odem either, cheers

under 2.5 goals? How does that work?
Will take 0-2 with a your grav brace
May 1 at 5:13 pm

0 1 or 2 goals.
May 1 at 5:13 pm
Mull- Looks forward to Euro 2012 fantasy says:
If they score 0,1 or 2 goals then he wins. It’s not under 2 because it could be confusing if the team scored 2.
May 1 at 5:11 pm
aatish says:
Can you please explain to me what does 2.35 and 2.05 mean ?
And what is under 2.5 goals ?
May 1 at 5:13 pm
Thesteady-Luis"GOD"Valencia says:
Under 2.5 goals mean that there won’t be three goals in the game. Meaning it will end up as on of these results:
0-0
1-0
0-1
1-1
2-0
0-2
May 1 at 5:14 pm
aatish says:
Oh and what does 2.35 and 2.05 mean ?
May 1 at 5:15 pm
EpicFAIL - Sporting Lisbon RIP </3 AVFC <3 says:
Multiply 2.35 by the amount you bet and that’s how much you will win.
May 1 at 5:14 pm

The odds system in Norway is a bit weird, can’t explain em.
May 1 at 5:14 pm

2.5 goals means if it is 0, 1 or 2 goals scored he wins. 3 or more he looses.
2.5 is used so there is no confusion . . .

Evening lads.
I have a dilemma. My defence is in tatters.
Verm. Baines. Evans. Caulker. Simpson
Baines and Evans and simp all doubts!! Do I take a hit to bring in a defender and who is best option for gw37??
May 1 at 5:14 pm
jkisthe1 says:
Wait and see on Baines, might yet be back.
If you need to take a hit, maybe dump Baines or Simpson to Jags, Walker or Kaboul.
But like I said, wait for news on Evans and Baines

Mclean + Cisse > Pienear + Jelavic

May 1 at 5:17 pm

Pienar of Jelavic should do
May 1 at 5:18 pm

Looks a good move ..
