Injuries

The Treatment Table – Gameweek 22

Mesut Ozil misses Arsenal’s goalless draw at the Britannia with a foot problem. Chelsea await results of Diego Costa’s shin injury, whilst Man City sweat over Aleksandar Kolarov’s weekend withdrawal.

Arsenal
By virtue of a foot problem, Mesut Ozil was omitted from the Gunners’ squad to face Stoke City and stayed in the capital. Although the league’s assist leader (16) wasn’t fit enough to travel, Arsene Wenger believes Ozil will recover in time for Chelsea’s visit in the upcoming Gameweek:

“He had an inflamation on his foot and yesterday morning we looked and he was not very well. He was not 100 per cent at Liverpool so I decided to leave him out. I think he should be back for next Sunday.”

Wenger previously explained that Ozil minimises his training during the week to ensure that he’s in prime condition for matchday, so it’s perhaps not surprising that he won’t take any chances with the player’s fitness. Given that Ozil is expected to make the Blues clash, his 55% ownership will be content holding a player that’s drawn just three blanks since Gameweek 7, considering that Chelsea have now conceded five times in their last two league outings.

Bournemouth
Tommy Elphick – who made just five starts at the beginning of the campaign before requiring surgery on a chipped ankle – is nearing a return to action, according to Eddie Howe:

“Tommy is making good progress. He has been training for 10 days but it has been small steps. He is a matter of weeks away. When you have had an operation, you have to make sure you really feel right before you get pushed.”

Elsewhere in the Cherries camp, Joshua King is recovering well from a hamstring complaint but will be eased back into contention to avoid a setback:

“The beauty of the signings we’ve made enables us to get Joshua back fit and right rather than pushing him through necessity, which I felt we were doing around the Christmas period just because we had a lack of options. Hopefully, Joshua will be back in the not too distant future and 100 per cent right.”


Chelsea
After scoring Chelsea’s opener against Everton, Diego Costa was replaced at the 80-minute mark due to injury. During his post-match interview, Gus Hiddink confirmed that Costa was sent to the hospital to undergo a scan:

“He’s in hospital and they will check with a scan. We don’t know the results yet, I hope it’s not too bad. It’s on his shin. We hope Diego will come out of the hospital in good health. He was in a lot of pain.”

According to reports, scans showed that the former Atletico Madrid man suffered bruising and not a fracture, but Chelsea are yet to comment on whether he’ll be passed fit for the Arsenal encounter.

With four goals in as many league starts under Hiddink, Costa has snapped out of his early-season malaise and furnished us with a viable challenger to the likes of Harry Kane and Olivier Giroud at the upper end of the market. Only Aleksandar Mitrovic tallied more shots inside the box (nine) than Costa (seven) across the last two Gameweeks, so his 7% ownership will hope for a speedy turnaround. A spell on the sidelines could bring Loic Remy in from the cold, though, with Radamel Falcao still sidelined though injury.

Crystal Palace
Bakary Sako – who’s made just one appearance since Gameweek 14 due to injury – was ruled out of Crystal Palace’s trip to Manchester City with another knock.

Meanwhile, Alan Pardew explained that Connor Wickham was replaced in the 66th minute at the Etihad because the ex-Sunderland frontman is not yet ready to last the distance following his three-match injury layoff.

Everton
Despite being stretchered off at the 71-minute mark against Chelsea, Bryan Oviedo should be fine for Everton’s home tie against Swansea City next weekend. Roberto Martinez asserted that the full-back’s problem is a minor one that is unlikely to trouble him:

“Bryan’s injury is not serious and he should be ok. We will assess him over the next 24 hours. It was more a knock rather than anything else. We expect that Bryan will be ok.”

In the absence of Seamus Coleman – who’s contending with a calf injury – Oviedo was deployed in the right-back berth at Stamford Bridge, allowing John Stones to revert to centre-back alongside Phil Jagielka. Those Fantasy managers who are looking to invest in the Toffees’ defence ahead of three enticing home match-ups (SWA, NEW, sto, WBA) will be interested by these developments, then, though Oviedo’s classification as a midfielder limits our options amongst Martinez’ backline.

Manchester City
Aleksandar Kolarov left the field just seven minutes into the second half against the Eagles with a calf injury. Manuel Pellegrini expanded on the Serbian defender’s situation in his post-match presser, insisting that they won’t understand the severity of his issue until today:

“I had to make the substitution because Aleks Kolarov was injured and we needed tall players for set pieces. We’ll see on Monday. Aleks had a kick in his calf – we don’t know if it’s a muscle injury or just a kick.”

Regardless of Kolarov’s prognosis, his and Bacary Sagna’s ownerships will be scouring the market for replacements now that Pellegrini has started to rotate his full-backs. With Vincent Kompany consigned to the treatment room, Nicolas Otamendi represents the only secure route into a Sky Blues rearguard that’s conceded just one goal in four matches and now embarks on an agreeable trio of fixtures (whu, sun, LEI).

Manchester United
The Red Devils’ injury travails deepened as Ashley Young was forced off in the 52nd minute at Anfield with a knee problem. Considering that the inexperienced Cameron Borthwick-Jackson is next in line for that left-back berth, prospective Chris Smalling investors might be deterred in spite of a favourable schedule (SOU, STO, che).

Newcastle United
By way of a hamstring injury, Paul Dummett was subbed off in the 57th minute against West Ham United last weekend. Steve McClaren is optimistic that the Tyneside native was merely struggling with a tight muscle:

“It’s a hamstring, but hopefully it’s just a little bit of tightness.”


Stoke City
Following a tackle he received in the opening exchanges against West Bromwich Albion two weeks ago, Geoff Cameron was sidelined for Stoke’s back-to-back home fixtures. The USA international expressed his frustration at not being able to play but vowed not to rush his comeback:

“It’s hugely frustrating to be out at the moment, especially through a really bad challenge that occurred in the first five minutes or so of the West Brom game. I tried for the Liverpool game and had to come off at half time. It just felt a little bit too much for me and that has hindered me a bit. I tried to train for the Norwich game earlier in the week but it wasn’t right, and I decided to make the decision of not wanting to risk anything. It’s better to miss a game or two now and come back fit and ready to go rather than playing through the pain-barrier week after week and then ending up with something more serious down the line.”


West Bromwich Albion
Tony Pulis confirmed that James Morrison could face up to two months on the sidelines with the hamstring complaint he picked up in the Baggies’ draw at Chelsea last week. As for Darren Fletcher – who suffered a cut on his knee in the first half against Southampton – the West Brom boss awaits the results of a scan.

“We’ve had two blows. We lost Fletcher today and Morrison on Wednesday at Chelsea. James has a ruptured hamstring, which is obviously a massive blow for him and us because he’s a quality player. Darren’s knee ‘opened’ up so we will see how that is. He will need a scan on that before we know how bad it is.”

    Just another Mahrez post. Nothing new here and maybe I'm just trying to justify selling him

    Did comparison about his key stats between last 6 games and gws 11-16.

    Pen box touches: 43 % less
    Goal attempts: 42 % less
    Chances created: 40 % less
    Final third touches: 27 % less

    1. Venom Snake
      • 11 Years

      I'll give him Stoke at home, if he blanks again he's out

      1. Venom Snake
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Penalty miss aside, his initial goal attempt was definitely going in had it not been for the handball

    2. Royal5

      Seems like Leicester have played with much lower risk lately. More affraid to lose than trying to win. The fixtures has been tougher, but still.

  4. Tree House

    Mahrez won't drop tonight will he?

    1. Pasqualinho
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Looks unlikely. He probably will at some stage this week, though.

    RP from previous article.

    Ogbonna to Baines??

    Butland
    Bellerin - Davies - Moreno
    Silva - Ozil - Payet - Mahrez
    Lukaku - Kane - Aguero

    Hennessey ; Alli - Ogbonna - Ward

    • 11 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Kolarov's had a good run, I never expected him to last this long before rotation kicked in but I think its time to look elsewhere even if he isn't injured.

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 14 Years

      Agreed . Doing KDB > Sanchez is probably a week early

      What to do with Sagna Balders?

        • 11 Years

        Nico, Jags or Daniels

  6. thunder_mike
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Butland Myhill
    Ivanovic Alderweireld Wollschied Daniels Bennett
    KDB Mahrez Payet Ozil Stanislas
    Kun Kane Lukaku
    Nothing into the bank and 1FT, which of these is my best move.
    a) Ivanovic > Baines
    b) Mahrez > Wijnaldum
    c) Save FT

    Leaning towards A

    1. Gooner Kebab
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I'm thinking of A too, but gonna wait until after the FA cup games.

      1. thunder_mike
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Yep me too, a Mahrez injury or something could force my hand. Had a good run with Ivanovic.

    How many players might might you have playing in the FA Cup replays this week?
    LEI, TOT, AVL, WBA, LIV are the teams.
    So many here wanting to make transfers already.

    1. Dr Dream
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Just two.

    2. Nexus
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Mahrez, Kane, Alli, Moreno are all i have.
      I dont think Moreno will play though

      1. Nexus
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        or Kane for that matter... son will probably start

    3. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Mahrez , Walker , Dawson

    4. EmreCan Hustle

    5. Kings of Lyon ★

      Oh Kane sending off would be fantastic

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        As an owner I'd take that.

        Lukaku in and Alli up front for Spurs. Done deal.

        1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          I think a much more likely outcome is Son upfront and Alli would be dropped because I don't own him

          1. Jafooli
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 9 months ago

            I reckon you're probably right 😀

    6. Royal5
      • 13 Years

      Really hope Ben Davies starts and Rose gets Palace.

      1. Venom Snake
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        I'm hoping the opposite lol

        1. Royal5
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          You know it makes sense to play Beavis 😉

    7. thunder_mike
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Alderweireld, Kane and Mahrez. Will be interesting if there is an injury.

  8. Q--
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Lose ozil or ramsey ? I know the answer will mostly be ramsey but i feel he will get me points more than ozil ..

    Stoke at home this season in the Premier League:

    Stoke 1-0 Chelsea
    Stoke 2-0 Man City
    Stoke 2-0 Man Utd

      I am a big fan of the Stoke squad. Very good recruiting in the last couple of seasons

        Still plenty time to get him back.

      That's the Pulis affect for yah....

      1. Lingardium Leviosa.
        • 10 Years

        Ha Pulis would get turned on by this I reckon.

    5. Slartibartfast

      Pretty sure I benched Butland in all of those games.

  10. Lovren an elevator

    Anyone else thinking of bringing Austin straight in? For 7m he will probably rise quickly if he hits the ground running

    1. Kings of Lyon ★
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I dont think he'll rise too quickly.

    2. Royal5
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Give him a couple of games first imo. Fixtures not the best either.

    3. HuttonDressedasLahm
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      No
      Too many better options

      In fact he probably increases Mane's potential if anything with his knockdowns

    4. Hooky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I he actually fit at the moment? Been out injured for QPR.

      1. Royal5

        Don´t think they bought an injured player.

                Very True. It was better in the good old days. When John Wark signed for Liverpool his medical consisted of him touching him toes and that was it! 😆

    Probably getting rid of Moreno even though he may have a DGW. Been stuck with him far too long he has been useless.

        Against MCI when you bench him.

    Brought in Sagna last week , sigh.

    Despite the dropping/rotation, he is still rising 2% per hour, which is very surprising.

    Suppose its beause he is on page 1 for defender transfers.

    1. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Reckon I might be about to sell Sagna.....

  13. Flynny
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Think I'm pulling the trigger on kolarov to Baines tonight..

    I need a miracle in my mini leagues...realise Everton can't defend but given the fixtures, think it us worth it as a 4 week punt.....

    Anyone joining me for the ride?....don't get the fuss about this Daniels fella...

    1. Gooner Kebab
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      he on pens

    2. Venom Snake
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I think I want to bring him in for Ogbonna. And I don't agree with this no CS we keep hearing. Jagielka back in the side to tighten things up, 2 CS in 4 and Baines playing high up the pitch so he is very dangerous

    Hey guys, have 2 FT and don't want to change front 8. What would you change with this?

    Butland - McCarthy

    Bellerin - Francis - Alderweireld - Ward - Targett

    0.1 in the bank.

    Thanks!

    1. Venom Snake
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Francis to Daniels? (Not sure how much Francis is)

      1. Jøssy ⭐
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Too cheap. Think he'll be short by 0.1

    2. I Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      McCarthy -> Elliot/Rudd

  15. Bubz
    • 11 Years

    Is Mirallas likely to start matches from now on?

    1. Jafooli
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Don't you dare Bubz, will never speak to you again....

      1. Bubz
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        It's Baines Im interested in

        1. Jafooli
          • 12 Years

          Ah right in which case you are correct to ask that fud rocket.....

      I think you know the risks.

    3. Sailboats
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      No, Kone and Deofeulsdpflou on the wings IMO

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        And John....

    4. Hooky
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Rotation with Delboy, Kone and Lennon. Not worth the headache.

    5. Irish Madridista ⭐
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      As a Baines owner, hopefully.

      1. Hooky
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        He's normally bad for Baines returns as he never passes the ball!

    6. Taffer
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      He actually played well with Baines at the weekend - also worth considering that Barkley links very well with him (see Terry OG)

  16. EmreCan Hustle
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    How many goals has Mahrez scored from pens this season?
    How much does losing penalty duties affect his fantasy prospect?

    Still worth holding on to him?

    1. RustyBz
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      I'm not getting rid of him. Got him @ 5.5 and I'll stick by

  17. foley_fd
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    So, KDB...

    ... got to go, right?

    1. EmreCan Hustle
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      For who?

      1. foley_fd
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        To facilitate the Vardy > Lukaku transfer, mainly.

        1. EmreCan Hustle
          • 12 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Still averaging 5 points per game though.

          1. foley_fd
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 9 months ago

            Yeh, but one assist in four.

            Will assess the stats closely, but this can't go on.

    2. Royal5
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Not really, who for?

      1. foley_fd
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Someone cheaper who scores as many points?

        1. Royal5
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          Who?

      1. foley_fd
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        🙂

        He's expensive and he's stinking my midfield out at the moment.

    4. 50 Shades Oshea
      • 10 Years

      Only holding for the chance of the double, which we should know by end of this week I think...

      1. 50 Shades Oshea
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        End of next week....

      2. foley_fd

        Good point. Thanks.

          • 10 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          No worries, deciding between him and mahrez to go, problem having luxury fts and need to use one

  18. Venom Snake
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    The good thing about having Alli fifth mid is that I can sell him at any time for Stanislas and free up a fair chunk of cash

    1. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Or you could've just had Stanislas as your 5th mid and cash in the bank.

      1. Irish Madridista ⭐
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Or Mahrez as your 5th mid and points in the bag...

        LOL, JK, Mahrez is sh!te.

      2. Venom Snake
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Wasn't necessary to have cash at the time, still isn't. Alli has got me points and price rises

        1. Beavis
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          8 years, 9 months ago

          I have Alli too - just know that the money will be needed at some point and i'll have to waste a FT to get him out.

          1. Venom Snake
            • 11 Years
            8 years, 9 months ago

            I've had 2 FTs almost every week for like a month or even more. I've been wasting them anyway because I haven't needed any urgent transfers

            1. Venom Snake
              • 11 Years
              8 years, 9 months ago

              I burnt one last GW to bring in Davies for Dawson lol

  19. Back on the horse
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Thinking best way to get payet in is
    Antonio mahrez ward to Stan payet targett. Maybe over 2 gw

    Too lightweight and risky?

      Looks good to me

  20. 50 Shades Oshea
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Does anyone know how many days the fa have to give to prem teams on rearranged fixtures, I thought it was 21 days, so surely we should know if double takes place by the end of this week depending on the results in 2nd legs next week?

    1. The Gambler.
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      14 isnt it

      1. 50 Shades Oshea
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Ye I think you maybe right, so got to wait until next week then...

  21. Simon Says...
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Aguero got me twitchy...but what would you learned bunch do with this rabble? got 1.3 ITB FYI

    Butland (Ruddy)
    Toby, Ivanovic, Moreno (Francis, Huth)
    Ozil, KDB, Mahrez, Payet (Alli)
    Lukaku, Kane, Igahlo

    Thanks

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Wait until FA Cup is over. Toby could get injured for example.

      1. Simon Says...
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Yep, will wait until Wed eve. What do you think of the options?

        Igahlo + KDB out for Aguero and a cheap midfielder seems best to me...

    2. S.Agueroooooo
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Had a very similar team two weeks ago.. I really like KDB but had to get rid of him for Aguero..

      City are not great on the road and they are away next two fixtures, all be it wham and sund

      Might be worth holding your transfer for one more week!

      1. Simon Says...
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Thanks, yep. KDB a nightmare - when you watch the games, he's brilliant and you know if you sell him he'll explode. But to get Aguero in, think it makes sense to ditch this week.

  22. Jafooli

    Barkley is nailed on right?

    1. Simon Says...

    1. Sailboats

      Moreno

      1. Simon Says...

        This.

      If no Costa, then probs Monreal

  24. Irish Madridista ⭐
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    HEY EVERYONE!

    If you want some PROPER good advice that won't bite you in the ass..

    Sell these players immediately:

    Moreno
    Alderweireld
    KdB
    Ozil
    Mahrez
    Lukaku
    Ighalo

    Buy these players immediately:

    Daniels
    Sagna
    Wijnaldum
    Barkley
    Stanislas
    Naismith
    Rooney

    1. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Alderweireld? Surely he's ok?

      1. Irish Madridista ⭐
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 9 months ago

        Ah I suppose he's alright, but the cool kids go for Rose.

        1. Venom Snake
          • 11 Years

          Cooler kids went Davies

        Not as much as KdB apparently

          • Has Moderation Rights

    10. Venom Snake

      Even though this is an obvious joke, everyone on that list is actually sellable except for probably Lukaku.

    11. Jay10
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Sagna?

    12. Christina.
      • 14 Years

      pva?

  25. Gooner Kebab
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Austin: mun, ars, WHM, swa, CHE, bou, SUN, sto
    Naismith: LIV, TOT, avl, WHM, lei, CHE, swa, MCI

    Soton's fixtures after arsenal look decent to me. Norwich not so much.

    1. RustyBz
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Neither are appealing to me as of right now, too many good options out there that are nailed on and delivering

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Naismith scored a hat trick against Chelsea though.

    3. Christina.
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      yes they do. so does kane's and lukaku's.

    4. Simon Says...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Austin if he gets firing could be a good late season option. He'll be bang on trying to sneak into the England squad (even though he won't).

      Naismith? Wouldn't touch him with a barge pole. Saying that, he probably wouldn't touch me with a barge pole either.

    Baines worth getting as a replacement for Kolorov?

    1. RustyBz
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Punty but yeah I guess

    2. Royal5
      • 13 Years

      Template move on here it seems.

    3. Simon Says...
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Without clean sheets looking likely or pens duties, it's all banked on him getting assists. Good punt, but too risky. Quite surprised so many are discussing it this week.

  27. RustyBz
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    When stuck between two good captaincy choices, go against the most logical one. Has burnt me every time!

    1. Pasqualinho
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Could it be your logic that's faulty?

  28. foley_fd
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    How bad is keeping Vardy and not having Lukaku this weekend?

    Would need a hit to get him in and probably KDB the one to make way.

    1. RustyBz
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      real bad

  29. Inter Me Gran
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 9 months ago

    Ok, is this a tricky one??

    A Baines and wijnaldum

    Or

    B bellerin and Willian?

    1. S.Agueroooooo
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 9 months ago

      Wij is a lot better at home.. hes on the road the next couple of weeks. Baines could be mighty

      Ars have tough fixtures and im just not a willian fan!
