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.

    Debuchy > Dier?
    Already have Clyne, Wisdom, Hutton, Luis (Switching to Baines)

      Hart isn't in the best group to keep CSs imo. Where the rest of your defense?

      1. setemadi
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        I can change to FCB Keeper Bravo.
        Its only 11 players - and my 3 defenders are San Jose, Eliseu, Jedvaj

    @Granville re Costa starting, and in general....

    Mourinho on Costa's injury:
    “Diego was a risk and a doubt before Everton, a risk and a doubt before Spain, a risk and a doubt before this Swansea game and he played all three games. He is a risk and a doubt again for next Wednesday because of an accumulation of matches, but nobody can stop him.

    “I tried to rest him, I tried to be sure. To be 100 per cent sure, but he goes on. He is a fantastic character. If the injury is a clear injury of course he will not play, but when the doubt is there and he has not the best feelings, but he feels he can play, he goes on.”

    How dare you doubt him! 😉 BEAST 😎

      • 11 Years

      i don't think he was questioning that, I think he was wondering whether he might play remy anyway given its a home fixture to save costa for city away

  3. LewanGOALski

    9 years, 7 months ago

    early days, but which trio would you play next week out of:

    Clyne (swa)
    Caulker (STK)
    Collocini (HUL)
    PvA (bur)
    Chester (new)

    ???

    *Krul (HUL) is my GK

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Clyne,Pva and maybe Collocini

      1. S.Kuqi
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Not Colo if Krul as gk. Then Caulker.

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

      Caulker, PVA and Chester, IMO.

      Don't double up on Newcastle.

    3. Ser Football 42
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Clyne. PVA. Caulker

    4. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Caulker PVA Chester

    5. Brutus619
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Caulker Clyne PVA, Easy picks imo.

    6. Teddy Brewski
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Clyne, Caulker & Colo. Double Newcastle isn't ideal though

  4. Feed tha Sheep
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Need to get Debuchy and Dumnett out? Think Debuchy first so best replacement (unlimited money)?

    Other def are Lovren Chester wisdom

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

      Has there been anything said about Debuchy's scan?

      1. Feed tha Sheep
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Wenger said he is out for a while..can't put a date on it though

      2. Teddy Brewski
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        He's screwed. Sell him

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

          Have to decide which one is most injured. 🙂

    2. Captain Beefheart
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Coleman if no limit or Dier.

      1. Teddy Brewski
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Coleman or Baines after gw8

        1. Captain Beefheart
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 7 months ago

          Coleman every time.

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

    Clyne, Moore, Caulker, Naylor, _______

    Fill in the blank, money no object but ideally want as cheap as possible to allow upgrades elsewhere

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Duff.

    2. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Baines

    3. Toonzie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Colo or Bardsley

    4. Teddy Brewski
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Bardsley. Rotates perfectly with Taylor

  6. Toonzie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Will debuchy drop ronight?

    1. Last Resort...
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I doubt it, but I haven't gotten a single one right this year for drops 😉

  7. Last Resort...
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    With 1 Ft and lots of coin in the bank I am tempted to get baines in a couple GWs before the fixture get better..... my def seems a mess atm. Is this madness, as I have no other pressing issues right now? I can do Caulker to Baines with 0 in the bank after it's done.

  8. Whazza

    Will Fuchs play UCL for Schalke regularly? Could be a steal at 3.5 and sometimes he plays winger.

    1. New Ghost
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      kolasinac at LB

    2. Exilizer
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Hmm I doubt it, he played LB and LM twice so far in Bundesliga, hasn't looked strong, started only once.

      1. Whazza
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah I guess he is a no-go at this stage

  9. Exilizer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    @ UCL: Re: Uchida. I follow the Bundesliga quite closely and several of my friends agree that Clemens at the back was a debacle for Schalke this weekend so Uchida should start again.
    In general a much better player.

    In any case that is my opinion.

  10. SC not pearls before swine
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Opinions?

    A: Save transfer
    B: Sell Terry: Probably Bertrand, maybe Wilson/PVA/Naylor, or even Baines
    C: Sell Albrighton for Chadli, bench Hazard this week. Throws off the balance a little bit, but I kinda like it... Especially if I end up wildcarding in the next couple weeks, which might be necessary with Silva/Hazard misfiring.

    Krulliot

    Terry-Clyne-Chambers (Moore-Wisdom)

    Hazard-Silva-Sterling-Siggy (Albrighton)

    Rooney-Pelle-Adebayor

    1. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Terry out for Baines

      1. SC not pearls before swine
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Hmm, it feels a bit early for Baines. @ United, @ Liverpool might not be quite as tough as they look on paper, but they also don't look like clean sheets.

    2. Teddy Brewski
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Got to get Costa in somehow. May get away with it this week but you need him for gw6 onwards!

      1. SC not pearls before swine
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Yep, agreed. I'm happy with my forwards for this week, but he'll likely be in the following week.

  11. Keno
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    I currently have Terry-Debuchy-Wisdom-Caulker-Moore

    I am in a 82 person private league currently in first by 6 points with 1 FT and 1.4 in the bank. I am thinking about dumping Terry for Baines at-least for this week for a quick punt because I believe Baines has a great chance to score big against CP. Would dropping Terry for him not be a smart move instead of dropping Debuchy since he will be out for awhile? I can still start Caulker(home against Stoke) and Wisdom against Tottenham which might be a tad tough, or should I swap out Debuchy for Clyne or Betrand? Thoughts please!

    1. Last Resort...
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I am tempted by Baines as well, but Betrand is proving to be great value.

    2. Captain Beefheart
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Debuchy for Clyne or Bertrand defo.

    3. Captain Beefheart
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Also am an Everton fan so know how overrated Baines is, Coleman well better.

  12. borginho00742
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone know the chances of either Costa rising to 10.9 or Hazard dropping to 9.9 this week? Have just enough money to downgrade Hazard for a 5.0 and upgrade Naismith to Costa but want to hold fire for next week... Thanks

  13. M.I.A.
    • 12 Years

    Time to ship Dummett or can he force his way back into the starting 11?

    1. Mind över Mata
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I'd ship

    2. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      They've let seven goals in the two games Haidara played in stead of him.

  14. Mind över Mata
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    No United coverage - should I be concerned?

    1. M.I.A.
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      I'm in the same boat. Don't think we should worried but maybe have a plan to get 1 attacker in if needs be. I'm swaying towards Di Maria at the moment...

      1. Mind över Mata
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Agreed, ADM seems to be the best pick

  15. Lingardium Leviosa.

    what transfer allyuh go make to dis defense?

    Ah have dis tree for GW5

    Does anyone else think Sterling is a bit too expensive? 19 years old, he's still learning the game, his end product still needs some work. I can see him being very streaky.

    1. theloveburglar
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      did at the start of the season.. didnt take him long to convince me he's worth every penny

    2. Hibbo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah would agree a bit.

    3. Winston.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Yep, starting to think how consistent performer he will be... DiMaria could a better source of points?

      1. Drip Doctor
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah, that is what i mean. I'm sure Sterling will do well, but i can see ADM being a more consistent scorer.

    4. EmreCan Hustle
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      A 3.0m jump from last season. I would say yes. But he's justifying the price tag.

    • 10 Years
    9 years, 7 months ago

    About Arsenal...who's on penalties, corners, direct free kicks and indirect free kicks...? Özil Sanchez or who...any view? Thanks!

    And the same question about ManU....DiMaria at least on corners and indirect free kicks yesterday...

    1. Teddy Brewski
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 7 months ago

      Sanchez seems to take most set pieces with Ozil/Cazorla as a left foot alternative. Arteta on pens when playing. Ozil/Giroud took pens when he wasn't playing. Ozil missed his last one though from memory.

      RVP in pens for utd. Unless Falcao may change that though

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

    How does this move look?

    Hazard ➡ ADM and Coloccini ➡ Bardsley/Wilson

    and Lamela ➡ Fabregas next week

  23. Wouter

    1. Capitan_K
      • 9 Years

      No. But chiellini is out and maby barzagli to, so maby he plays 1 or 2 games.

  24. cjhewitt92

    Best Option for United Players - Other players are Fábregas Sánchez Sterling and Forwards Agüero Diego Costa

    A) Rooney Chadli Cattermole
    B) Falcao Nathan Dyer George Boyd
    C) Bojan Krkic Chadli Di María
    D) Welbeck Chadli Herrera
