[sbu_large_image] Injuries

A Nani State Update – Winger Could Yet Make Wolves Clash

4 November 2010 246 comments

Mark

Nani has indicated that he could yet figure in Saturday’s Old Trafford encounter with Wolves.

Talking to United’s official site, the winger has revealed that his injury is a minor setback and he could well be in the frame for inclusion against Mick McCarthy’s side….

“It was a bit of a pain in the groin, I’m hoping to be fit for Saturday (against Wolves) but we’ll see how it is over the next day or so. I am doing well at the moment and I enjoy the pressure of being an important member of the team.”

This comes after Alex Ferguson had confirmed that Nani, along with ankle injury victim Darren Fletcher, would miss out after sustaining setbacks in the 3-0 Champions League win over Bursaspor on Tuesday.

“Unfortunately, Nani has a groin injury and is out for Saturday.”

With Florent Malouda set to miss trip to Anfield and doubts still surrounding the involvement of Cesc Fabregas for Arsenal against Newcastle, many Fantasy Managers will be at a loss for their next move. It would appear however, that Nani is well and truly in the frame for a start at City next Wednesday. Ferguson would seem unlikely to risk the winger against Wolves with the local derby game in mind, but for many, the promise of Nani returning to action and missing just one game will be enough to see them hold firm rather than take a loss on a player who is surely set to challenge for the leading points scorer in the Fantasy Premier League this season.

  No brainers there. Arteta - bonus point whore and due a goal, and Cahill's not on one of his fine streaks at the moment.
  VdV if he plays, but if he's a doubt then Bale. Bale output is muted to say the least when VdV plays, but when he doesn't (early in the league season, Inter away, second half on Tues), Bale is rampant.

  Actually could this be the greatest gameweek ever for our mini leagues?
  Nani red flagged - most rivals transfer him out, he then plays a blinder
  Malouda/VdV etc unflagged - most rivals aren't aware of injuries, they only appear for 10 min cameos at the end to get 1 point.
  
  Being an uber FPL nerd could have its uses this week.

At the least I'm going to try and make up my own downfall than fall down with everyone else!! Fantasy Football sucks! Anyone else agree?

  Perch OUT Simpson IN this week and save your transfer for double transfer in midweek game,you will not make points on Simpson this week most likely but it is a good long term switch and you are making nothing on Perch this week anyway, that way you can play 4-3-3 assuming Fab/N'Zog/Adam are okay

Am I right in saying Alex looks nailed on to be a regular starter at centre back now and the Ivanovic/Bosingwa battle for right back won't affect him?

I want a regular Chelsea defender starter but not Cole or Terry. Had Alex but sold him for Bos thinking he would slot into right back but clearly that seems unlikely.

Any help appreciated......

    Terry and Cole should be every game, barring injuries/suspension, but I think Alex is pretty much nailed on too.
    
    If you don't want Terry or Cole then it simply has to be Alex. He's a class act, one of the best defenders in the league, and should play the majority of games.

So with Nani news, that a stick. I dont want to get VdV but I do want to get Jara out for obvious reasons.

The thing is that I only have 4.5m for a defender and no one appeals in that range.

So I am now thinking that its best to just leave any tranfers this week and have 2 next week and take the risk with my side as is.

This will alow me to buy a defender I actually want, without any hits. Granted it means Simpson at Arsenal this week but i imaigne there will be penty of points hits around this week so as long as I dont take a hit then this should cancel out the possibility of a drubbing at the Emirates.

Agree or disagree with this strategy given the side I have???

      I have VDV and Elmo, wasn't Bosingwa ill or something for the game last night, like a virus? I would stick and hope he plays, Ivan might need a rest despite his 2 goal salvo.
      
      VDV we also have to wait and see.
      
      I am still of the view that Elmo will play, and until Bruce hints otherwise am not worrying about him, he doesn't go from being "hot property" a few weeks ago to droppable at Sunderland, Bruce knows he might have a struggle on his hands to keep him in January, for me, he plays.

  Simpson v Arsenal isn't the worst idea. I see an Arsenal win but Newcastle scoring. Carroll and Williamson are my bets for a Newcastle goal as they will both give Arsenal problems at deadballs. Even if I had 5 fit defensers (Gohouri, Alex, Mummy, Jara, Williamson), Williamson would start v Arsenal.

right, 2 teams i need your opinion on please, mine and my mrs’.

Mine

Foster
Alex, Dann, Elmo, Coleman
Fabs (c), Brunt, Bale
Drogba, Carroll, Bervatov

benched Malouda, Nani, Tamas

no transfers left and only 0.3 in the bank. Cant afford to sell and buy back Malouda or Nani

My Mrs

Foster
Coleman, Cashley, Elmo, Evatt
Adam, VDV, Brunt
Chamakh (c), Drogba, Carroll

benched Malouda, Nani, Baptiste
No free transfers left and 3.5 in the bank

I’m thinking my mrs’ team is the one that is gonna need to take a 4 pointer with Evatt coming into play and no one else on the bench to play if VDV doesnt play.

But who to who?

If Nani is fit then he has to play, they got too many key players out and he's their only real creative outlet.

The seriousness of his injury was based around hearsay anyway, you can never really trust what Fergie says, he proved that with Rooney last season.

United don't have the luxury of resting key players at the moment, Chelsea are on top with a little lead with the top 5 being very tight.

  I agree that if he is fit he has to play, but in circumstances where there is even a slight doubt over him, he will not be risked.
  
  The squad will have taken great confidence having gone away and gotten a result midweek, so even in Nani's likely absence, I still fancy United to sneak a 1-0/2-0 win in this one. Gibson and Scholes playing in the middle and Park/Obertan flying about the place with Hernandez and Berbatov up front, not the worst side to face Wolves at home.

Are most people of the opinion that FISO's Crack the Code is no longer as reliable as TotalFPL's player value tool? Was looking to do the classic Nani to Cahill move but wanted to hold off as long as possible, but have since seen TFPL have him at 101.1% to rise tonight. FISO have him at 76%.

  You need to maximise the TotalFPL window. They have his 'maximum' rise level as 101% but his 'minimum' chance is 76%, the same as FISO.
  
  I believe the minimum and maximum depend on whether they have the protection issue correct, which isn't an exact science (and if you ask me they don't use the exact same rule for every player throughout the year).

So with Malouda, jara, nani, VDV(whats the story with him? fit for weekend?) all either out or probally out for the weekend and then with the likes of Barton and Carroll who i wouldn't be that confident on playing, i reckon its going to be another poor week!

Thinking maybe Barton > Nzogbia, bench Jara, Malouda and then let Carroll come on for one of VDV or Nani and hope the other one plays. Only have one free transfer.

        Hi rock, I'm in a similar boat with malouda, jara, nani and fab instead of vdv. I'd be more inclined to sell nani and take a gamble on mal being fit for fulham which sounds likely. Both will likely miss this week but next 2 weeks would you rather Nani (mcy, vil) or Malouda (FUL, SUN) It's then easy to do malouda to nani in gw14 for utd's nice run.

    If I just knew Malouda would be fit for Fulham i would do Nani-->Arteta. Will then get Nani back in for Malouda in gw14.

      nani almost certainly won't play, i agree but even against the likes of City and Villa, he could still do something? he is their main man.

        But the leader in my main league has both Nani, Malouda and a lead of 15 points so do I ship one out and go the differential route or stay put as could potentially lose more ground....
