Anelka In Line For Baggies Return

West Bromwich Albion have this evening announced that Nicolas Anelka will resume training tomorrow and will be in line for selection against Swansea on Sunday.

Following the death of his agent Eric Manasse, Anelka was granted compassionate leave for the Baggies visit to Everton last weekend and, amidst rumour that the Frenchman may retire, was not expected to rejoin the first team fold anytime soon.

Having met with manager Steve Clarke earlier today, however, Anelka is now back in the frame and available to his Fantasy owners. His return is timely given that Gameweek 3 presents the conundrum of Chelsea and Aston Villa’s blank fixtures.

In anticipation of a lengthy absence, we’ve seen huge sales of the West Brom striker over the past seven days, with Anelka’s price dropping to 5.4 in the Fantasy Premier League game after almost 150,000 “net transfers out” prior to the Goodison trip.

It remains to be seen if Anelka can earn a recall and produce any semblance of form for the Baggies given recent events. If fit and in the right frame of mind, he would certainly seem likely to start for Clarke’s side who yet to score a Premier League goal this season.

DEF Coleman - Collins - Whittaker
MIDS Coutinho - Silva - Mirallas - Colback
ATTK Dzeko - RVP - Soldado

Would you Transfer Colback for Brady and take a -4 hit?
Or just leave my team alone for wk3?

I can't stand the fact that Colback is playing Fullback but listed as a midfielder. (Noob original pick from me)

Cout Haz* Wally Miralles (Jedinak)
Dzeko Soldado Lukaku*

*I have 2FT so could go Haz to Silva and have 9.3 for say... Bony?!

  Definitely don't WC.
  
  Even make 3 transfers for a -4, the WC could be precious later in the season and worth a lot more.
  
  Besides, I only think you need to change your Chelsea players.

  Thanks all, I'll save the WC! Lukaku to whom is the question. I always intended to swap to Bony at GW3 but Sturridge is looking in fine form. Double up on Pool players for United game though?!?

In the coming weeks that could become Brady, RVP and Benteke.

Something to think about and maybe work towards. Not too keen on the Hull lad playing every week, it must be said.
