Injuries

The Treatment Table – Gameweek 4

As always on a Monday afternoon, we scour the Premier League treatment rooms to assess the players who picked up injuries over the weekend action.

Arsenal
Mathieu Debuchy was forced off with an ankle injury in Saturday lunchtime’s draw with City. Arsene Wenger is set to address the press later today amid fears the Frenchman could be sidelined for months.

Burnley
The Clarets’ forward Danny Ings was subbed off with a hamstring problem in the weekend draw at Palace, while Matty Taylor missed out altogether due to injury, allowing George Boyd to make his debut on the left of midfield.

Chelsea
Didier Drogba missed the Blues’ home win over Swansea after injuring an ankle during training.

Crystal Palace
Neil Warnock confirmed Joe Ledley sustained a hip injury in the Palace dugout and was unable to take to the field against Burnley. The Palace boss also revealed Wilfried Zaha was lucky to make the match after picking up an ankle injury in training.

Everton
Sylvain Distin missed the Toffees’ win at West Brom due to a dead leg, though Roberto Martinez confirmed earlier today that the defender is on course to feature against Wolfsburg in the Europa League on Thursday.

Leicester
Foxes number one Kasper Schmeichel missed Saturday’s win at Stoke after sustaining a minor knee problem on international duty with Denmark.

Stoke
The Potters’ left-back Erik Pieters was forced off with an unspecified injury in the latter stages of Saturday’s home loss to Leicester.

Swansea
Jordi Amat is set for knee scans after picking up a problem in the weekend loss to Chelsea – the defender left Stamford Brigde with his leg in a brace.

Tottenham
Jan Vertonghen was omitted from the weekend trip to Sunderland after picking up a minor muscle injury.

West Brom
Stephane Sessegnon was ruled out of the weekend home loss to Everton after sustaining an eye injury in training.

    Was planning to do Terry for Baines and thank god I waited tonight

    Chester out for N Taylor now instead

    Who knows? could be a blessing in disguise keeping Terry

      I have a bet with a guy at work over who'd be higher at the end of this week

      Chester on the bench means he gets Caulker

      I win 😀

    Who should be benched next game?:
    Fabregas (mci) or Tadic (swa) and
    Clyne (swa) or Taylor.N (SOT)

  10. AgentRed
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Who to bench out of?

    a) Clyne
    b) Caulker

  11. Chambo

    I hate hoping that a player does not get in the game who I started. Chester stay on the bench!

    Wanted to get rid of Coloccini but now I'll have to sell Chester 😐

    1. Lucy.
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Got rid of Colo assuming Chester would play. 🙁

      1. Sunny 😎
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Looks like our teams are pretty similar. I'd be interested how your team shapes up compared to mine.

        At least Rooney got us 10 points 🙂

    Haven't even got a Hull or West Ham player in my Fantasy Football team. It's tough to get excited for this one lads.

    PP speaking the truth once again.

    @JK: Who cares about stats? It's Di María!

    So much assist potential though once Falcao comes in for van Persie, who was well off the pace yesterday.

    1. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Like I said, i just think there's players who offer more potential for less cash atm, I'd love to own Di Maria but I'm downgrading Hazard to afford, Rooney, Costa, Kun up top

      Ramsey and Sterling will be my big hitters

      1. Parm
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Fair enough, our front 7 is pretty much Di María vs Rooney then.

        1. JK - Cønt ⭐
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          within 2 weeks it will be

          Di Maria and Naismith v Chadli and Rooney

          1. Parm
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Meh, add my Baines to your Burnley defender into the equation and we're pretty much even i'd say.

            1. JK - Cønt ⭐
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 7 months ago

              we just appear to made different choices, you've opted for a biog defender and cheap striker, I've gone the other way

              Love it this year, so many options are delivering that it's become that only Costa looks like an absolute must have

    2. The Light Knight
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Nah everything Di Maria did right yesterday was by accident

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Then let's hope he has plenty more accidents

        1. Parm
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          And van Gaal forgets to play 3-5-2.

          1. The Light Knight
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            Yesterday was essentially the same as 3-5-2. Blind playing the CB stepping out that Smalling didn't vs Swansea

            1. Parm
              • 12 Years
              9 years, 7 months ago

              Yep, although it looked a lot better yesterday. Mainly due to Rojo/Rafael rather than Young/Valencia.

              1. The Light Knight
                • 12 Years
                9 years, 7 months ago

                Plus Ander and ADM over Cleverley and (it pains me to say) Fletch

      2. Dr Dream
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Plenty of goals have a whiff of luck about them...Just imagine the boost to his confidence now though !!...

  16. JK - Cønt ⭐
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Lucy, Schneiderlin, worth a punt?

    I need a mid for 6.7 or less, so can't afford Tadic, seems a bit risky to play every week atm?

    1. Mull
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      No

    2. Lucy.
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Seems to be in a more fluid midfield than he was under Poch. Could do well.

      1. Lucy.
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        That said, I wouldnt invest personally.

    3. Parm
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Chadli

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        He's my choice atm

        1. Lucy.
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Seems a better one to me.

          1. JK - Cønt ⭐
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 7 months ago

            so I'd have the top 2, plus Rooney, Kun, Costa, Siggy and Ramsey

            me likey

            1. Dr Dream
              • 11 Years
              9 years, 7 months ago

              I'm going with him and Ade for the next match...in fact I did it last night...

              1. JK - Cønt ⭐
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 12 Years
                9 years, 7 months ago

                No room for Ade with the big 3 up top

                1. Dr Dream
                  • 11 Years
                  9 years, 7 months ago

                  He'll be shipped for Pelle for QPR at home the week after...

                2. Dr Dream
                  • 11 Years
                  9 years, 7 months ago

                  But I'll keep Chadli for as long as Pcch does..

    Repost, no response on last page. First time playing UCL, first draft. How does this look? Appreciate any feedback.

    Moya(Roberto)

      Possibly wise to build more of a squad so you have decent options off the bench for second day if you have any duds during day one rather than pour all your money into the starting xi.

      1. Parm
        • 12 Years

        And get Bale 😉

        Cheers for the advice, I've just downgraded Roberto > 3m and done Mbemba > Jedvaj.

    Hi guys two questions:

    Is Duff's place secure?

    Is anyone considering Rooney --> Falcao

    Cheers 🙂

    1. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      a) I'm not sure but people seem to think so

      b) I was, until yesterday

    2. BantamPhil
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      No and no

    3. Sunny 😎
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I am considering doubling up with Rooney and Falcao..

      Duff's place is secure unless there is a serious drop in form

  27. #23
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Tadic's stats are really good, with plenty of chances created and shots on goal, but he doesnt seem to rack up the points even when Southampton win big. Do we think he can explode in the near future or will he be an "assist the assiter" type of player?

  28. BRONALDINHO
    • 9 Years

    the sturridge injury is going to offer us a good differential when he's back
