City Issue Aguero Injury Update
Filed under: Injury News - Posted by: Paul
Manchester City have confirmed this afternoon that Sergio Aguero is expected to be sidelined for the next couple of Gameweeks at least. The club’s official website gave Fantasy managers a handy injury update on a trio of their stars earlier this evening, with the Aguero news the most crucial to our transfer planning:
Roberto Mancini revealed the player has undergone knee scans and has since been assessed by medical personnel. The City boss was optimistic over a quick return to action for his star forward, with a possible comeback for the Gameweek 4 trip to Stoke on the cards:
“I don’t think Sergio will be out for long and we are hoping he will be back after the international break which is obviously fantastic news for him and for us. We were very worried a couple of days ago because we feared he could be out for six months or maybe even more which would have been very bad news. It looked like a very strange injury at the time and because it was his knee, we were obviously very concerned so this news is a relief for everybody.”
The news will no doubt speed up the transfers-out over the next few days, with Carlos Tevez the obvious trade. Aguero has already been shipped out by 132, 000 Fantasy managers after he was stretchered off against the Saints on Sunday – Tevez has been acquired by more than 94,000 in anticipation of a possible absence for his compatriot and is on the verge of rising in price for the second time this week in FPL.
Mancini also revealed that Gareth Barry and Micah Richards will remain on the sidelines for the time being. Barry could well join Aguero in returning for the Stoke clash but Richards may be out for a longer period – this promotes Pablo Zabaleta in our Fantasy thinking, with the 6.0 priced Argentine’s role at right-back looking nailed-on until Richards comes back into contention:
“Gareth will also be ready after the international break. “He hasn’t played any games for almost four months and he needs to build his fitness up, but he is training again and I don’t see him being out for any longer than one month and hopefully, maybe just a couple of weeks. Micah’s injury is more serious and he could be out a little longer, but having said that, with rest and the right treatment, we are hopeful he could be ready in about one month, which again would be great news.”

JKisthe1 - The return of Los Colchenoros says:
as a Lampard and Fed owner is it wrong to want Fed to save a pen before Lamps/Torres puts in the rebound? What say you lads?
August 22 at 6:55 pm
Hybrid.power says:
Lampard would be the one missing the peno though.
August 22 at 6:55 pm

Excellent plan but can Hazard at least win the peno
August 22 at 6:59 pm
JKisthe1 - The return of Los Colchenoros says:
it won’t make a difference, if Frank misses, then scores the rebound, don’t think there will be an assist
August 22 at 6:56 pm

As a Mata and Torres AND Fed owner, with rivals Lampard (C) I would love to see a penalty save, With Torres on the rebound..

Nowt wrong with wishing that at all, especially since it is going to happen. Of this I am certain.

Because I own both of them I can see Lampard putting the ball wide and costing me 4 points.
August 22 at 6:58 pm
JKisthe1 - The return of Los Colchenoros says:
if you ruin another thing for me I swear dowm
It’ll be more than 4, it’s 5 for saving a pen isn’t it, or have they reduced it?
August 22 at 6:59 pm
Mull says:
I’ve captained Lamps therefore a pen miss would mean -4 points for me.
August 22 at 7:01 pm
JKisthe1 - The return of Los Colchenoros says:
ah, ok I captained Torres. so it’s 9 points lost, -2 for the pen, plus the 5 Fed won’t get.

Quicky for any scout or sky ff player
If I choose say vidic as captain, can I then switch to say hazard for the second Chelsea game if I want and if I do will I get double hazard points from the first Chelsea game tonight….
Hope this question isn’t too confusing
August 22 at 7:00 pm
Natas says:
If you have Vidic as captain, than you can change for tonights second game to Hazard so long as you do it within the first 15 minutes of the match and bearing in mind that he hasnt acquired any attacking points yet. Then for the remainder of the game, you may switch to any other forward yet to play as long as the mid being switched has already scored attacking points. Hope this helps.

I know that Frank is an amazing penalty taker but even when Chelski are 4 nil up they do not give the pens to Torres. Why not give him them in that event to bolster his confidence (assuming he scores obvi… I see the hole in my argument there).

thehodge says:
Tempted to bring in Ade and Ba over the next few weeks for Torres and Bent… considering I already have 2.5m in the bank it’d leave me with alot of cash to bolster up my midfield and also leave with with a decent forward line. Thoughts?
August 22 at 7:03 pm
Just One More Thing says:
Ade & Ba are good shouts for the forthcoming gws – Villa, in particular look devoid of creativity so Bent is wasted. As for Torres, well you know what I am going to say
August 22 at 7:06 pm
thehodge says:
Already done Lamps to Michu this week so is it worth doing one of them for a 4 point hit? Baring in mind i’ve 2.5m in the bank already so could squeeze in RVP if I did Bent and Torres to RVP and Ba. 8 point hit though. So many options!! Doing my head in!
August 22 at 7:06 pm
Silly Sausage says:
Ade and Barfa are on my watchlist, can’t decide on Ba or Cisse so just staying clear
August 22 at 7:08 pm
you ll see says:
my thoughts exactly, only i have aguero, pog, torres. 3mil in the bank..
i guess pog and torres must leave, and i’m gonna stick with aguero, though it hurts. i know, i must get him back anyways in the near future..
August 22 at 7:01 pm

Ok so, Torres 10 points tonight or hes out for RvP gw2
Cmon now, dont mess with my head

The only reason he didn’t score last time was because of a brilliant off the line clearance. He will grab one or two tonight for sure.

with three Guthrie assists. 4 Lampard , 3Cole and 3 Torres goals too. If I get that lot I will happily miss out on Chelsea assists, and the cleano wouldn’t matter either.

Really difficult dilemma here, can you help? Who’s happier?
A) People who picked Ramires
B) Everyone who knows someone who picked Ramires and has points on the bench

Ramires currently has 0 points, Dyer has 16, Michu 18. If Ramires scores more than that then it may change of course.
