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.”

Aha, the ol’ Viaplay twist. Never actually looked at what they can provide, but now most certainly will. Cheers dude.

And the Swedish commentary shouldn’t be too much of a problem. “Ramires till Lampard, bra spel ikväll”, how much more difficult is it likely to get, eh?

chelsea are surely not going to go into the season with just sturridge and torres as strikers… there has to be one more on the way in, especially that they let Lukaku go on loan
August 22 at 7:11 pm
Cheggers - I love Tuncay says:
If they dont sign anyone.. I’m keeping Torres. Nailed on starter in a top 3 team is a no brainer.

ive basically got the same with Gunter instead of Federici. Hoping for the below
Ivan 6
Lamps 3
Torres 6 (12)
Guthrie 2
Fed 1
Which would be a healthy and realistic 24 points

Shoot.
August 22 at 7:24 pm
JKisthe1 - The return of Los Colchenoros says:
not really a team dilemma, though I do have one of them
If I own Fed, Lamps and Torres (c) is it wrong to want Fed to save a peno and then have Lamps or Torres put in the rebound?
August 22 at 7:28 pm
Corrigan says:
Nope, if Torres scores and Fed saves then that results in more points overall.
Odd isn’t it? That’s FPL!

I had a clio once. Piece of shite so it was. what year?
August 22 at 7:26 pm
TommyK says:
Not sure, but do you know what it means if it’s revving while idle? Had a crash today and the front wing/bumper is crumpled. I managed to drive it home (only about a mile).
Reckon it’s a write off?
August 22 at 7:32 pm
Limbo says:
Could be the accelerator cable getting stuck in it’s housing if that got cracked. In some odd decision Renault cables zigzag a little from the foot well, so can get stuck. not a write off, unless it’s a bigger issue.
August 22 at 7:40 pm
TommyK says:
Ah ok, thanks very much for your help. Hopefully my chasis/wheel axles are intact. Annoying thing about new cars is they’re designed to crumple, even at relatively low speeds.
August 22 at 7:34 pm

Depending on the year (fuel injected?) it could be the idle valve, idle screw or carburettor… That could be bigger issue…

Nice of Ramires to come in and keep the Michus and Dyers on the bench.
Now, if he can just keep quiet for 90 minutes.
August 22 at 7:20 pm
isacki - losing makes winning sweeter says:
In all seriousness I can see him pretty attacking against Reading instead of playing the deep role he has to play against top teams (cf. Yaya) A goal is not out of the question.
August 22 at 7:22 pm
Cheggers - I love Tuncay says:
He will be right wing, doesnt matter which team its against
August 22 at 7:20 pm

This would be awesome
August 22 at 7:22 pm

His stats suggest a 1 in 6 games goalscorer, but he has never really hit those heights in the premier league.
I can see him getting 3 to 6 points tonight pre bonus

if torres doesnt score at least a brace tonight im going to punish myself for owning him yet again by using the early w/c
August 22 at 7:22 pm

Yep. I cant stand watching him. Gona go suarez, caus wilst he may not be able to score either, his movement is delightful.

If he get a hattrick?… come back after the game
August 22 at 7:26 pm

Yeah I know but I got too many reading and Chelsea players so was gonna do Torres to Petric then Guthrie to yaya
I will wait till after the game but thought I’d get in early
Defoe a no no now ade arrived
August 22 at 7:24 pm
Mike_McBam says:
Why not wait and see how he plays before getting rid? If he does well I am thinking of holding on and seeing how Ade fits in after a few weeks, then do the swap if necessary.
August 22 at 7:25 pm
Limbo says:
Hold off – surely he’s not going to rise ahead of Man U? Or is this a outcome from knee jerk by folk with Graham/Bent etc? Seems odd that anyone would want him away at Old Trafford.
August 22 at 7:25 pm
ratski says:
Possible rise tonight
August 22 at 7:23 pm
exammy says:
Chelsea win 5-2 All Chelsea goals involved Ivan Lampard and Torres
Lamps and Ivan subbed at 80min and reading score 2 from Guthrie, Chelsea then won a penalty in the 93rd min which is taken by Mata and saved by fed.
August 22 at 7:24 pm
JKisthe1 - The return of Los Colchenoros says:
don’t own Guthrie so not bothered about that, but since i liked that post so much I will agree on all counts and let you have the points.

Pretty tempted to WC this mess pre GW2:
DDG (Federici)
Walker, Zabaleta, ACole, Clyne, (Demel)
Dyer, Bale, Mata (Noble, Maloney)
Graham, Torres, Tevez
could just do Torres to RVP i guess but….
August 22 at 7:26 pm

Doesn’t seem that much of a mess to me.
August 22 at 7:29 pm
