There are reports today claiming that Wolves will go into Sundayโ€™s potential relegation decider with Blackburn without striker Kevin Doyle. The Irish Times have stated that Doyle suffered a recurrence of his previous knee injury in the 3-1 win at Sunderland on Saturday and will now face three-to-four weeks on the sidelines.

Doyle replaced Steven Fletcher after 71 minutes of the win at the Stadium of Light and was looking well placed to come into Mick McCarthyโ€™s starting lineup for Sundayโ€™s crunch encounter. The report states that, although Doyle came through his appearance the weekend, he openly admitted to have been โ€œplaying through some pain for the last 10 of the 20 minutesโ€.

This will be welcome news for Fantasy Managers. Doyle was a troublesome factor to consider in the Wolves ranks given that Fletcher and Stephen Ward both look strong prospects going into Sundayโ€™s game. Should Doyle be out of the picture, Fletcher would seem certain to start up front against Rovers, with Ward likely to retain his start in the support striker role. Ward is available as a defender in the Fantasy Premier League game.

Thereโ€™s no confirmation of Doyleโ€™s injury from Wolves however, the clubโ€™s official twitter stream today released a firm โ€œNo commentโ€ verdict on the situation. Make of that what you will.

We will bring you official news once itโ€™s surfaced via our own Twitter channel.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Anyone think Kuyt is worth getting as a differential? I personally dont think Nani will play either..

        I can see a big scoring game at Aston Villa, Liverpool on fire and Kuyt on pens..

        Nani is a big chance not to play.. Champions league coming up!

          Nani won't be in the CL final starting line up so he has a chance of playing at Blackpool, although not a great one imo.

          Liverpool are on fire but they didn't do much against Spurs, with Caroll back. Villa also won against Arsenal so may have a bit of confidence, that being said, they've been relatively poor all season.

          I'm playing both ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Guys do i need to go for a differential if i’m chasing a 4 point lead, Rival’s gonna captain Berbatov so should i do the same and hope that my other players make up for those 4 points or should i get Tevez instead.

    In my desperation to catch a 30 point lead, I find myself potentially getting rid of three of the most consistent points scorers of recent weeks.

    RVP > Berbatov
    Odem > Tevez
    Lampard > Nani

    Tevez and Nani will almost certainly be differentials, Berbatov is a possibility. I think it has to be done?

        As I said, I'm desperate. My rival has RVP and I doubt he'll be getting rid so I'm just hoping he does nothing. Unlikely I know, but I would rather finish 50 points behind after having a go, than finish 15 points behind having played safe.

          I'm in a similar situation and totally agree with your logic. Gonna do the same and go gung-ho this week, meaning getting as much differential as possible including RVP. I have Walcott for Arsenal cover anyway so I guess its a easier decision for me. ๐Ÿ˜›

        Man Utd players do have something to play for. A champions league final place. Sure it's unlikely to happen but it doesn't mean they're going to go out to lose.

        People seem to forget it is Blackpool we're playing. They leak goals like anyones business. Sure they'll probably score, but I'd bank on us scoring at least 2.

        Either way, I doubt I'd get rid of RVP for Berbatov. Who's your other striker?

      Getting rid of RVP will take some big cojones..

      The odds are on him assisting or scoring this weekend as he has fetched a minimum 6 points for the last 10 weeks or whatever. I know Fulham have good home form but don't forget that they shipped 5 to Liverpool in their last game at CC!

      mate im doing the same, i have a 36 point deficit so im taking lampard out for maxi, sturridge out for berbatov(c) and maybe RVP for tevez, just hope it comes off, if it doesnt well iv finished second with 150 quid, good idea, your not going to gain 30 points with the same team, your either going to finish 1st or 60 points behind,

      Odemwingie->Berba for a 4 pt. hit??(Already done Drog->Tevez for free.)Do we think Berba will outscore Odem by 4?I still think Odem,if fit,can easily put a 9-13 pointer against Newcastle.The move will leave me with 0.0 in the bank so I'll have to do it tonight,lest Odem drops in price.What do you guys think?Cheers.

        Berbatov might not score so it's risky.... Odem is more reliable, don't take the hit unless you are well in the lead of your league(s).

          I thought Odem had a thigh injury. Even if he plays St. James' Park is a fortress (0-0 versus Man Utd not that long ago, and probably should have won). I can't see him getting more than a consolation goal so I'd guess max 6 points. I reckon Berba could rake in 9 or 10 so it's a close call.

        I think I'm getting rid of Odem this week.

        West Brom are safe and already have said in the tweets that they are looking at playing the youth in that game.

        Too much risk to go for him this week, imo.

              Don't believe Odemwingie is set to go down and neither is Berbatov due to go up.

          Let me see if I got this right!

          So if you have three strikers(most obvious RVP&Tevez&Berbatov)playing and you choose to play Ward at defence, it´s the same thing as playing with four strikers plus 2pts per goal for Ward?
          Please reply I´m confused about Ward´s role in wolves atm.

            That's pretty much it...Ward will get points as a normal defender would and even though he will play as a striker in the real game, he'll get extra points for clean sheets and goals on FF.

          I'm chasing 24 points.
          Rivals already done Nolan > Nzogz and has a front line of Hernandez, Odem and RVP.

          Therefore if he wants Tevez and Berba it's going to cost him at least 12 points and probably losing RVP.

          Should I just do the simple Suarez + Torres > Tevez + Berba and hope that he doesn't do the same or look for a differential?

          Well Lads,

          Genuinely devastated we're at the end of the season!
          Quick question....views on Malouda and Chelsea in general?
          Thinking of leaving him on my bench and going for;

          KUYT-OHARA-VDV-SILVA

          VP-ODEM-BA

          Any thoughts very much appreciated.

            Definitely leave him on the bench. They have nothing to play for, he may not even start. Watch out for team news on VDV though, you may want to consider getting rid of him.

            Have you done any transfers yet? I'd probably prefer Fletcher to Ba as West Ham have nothing to play for and all that party nonsense the other night.

          Havn't done any transfers yet but rival has BA. Bit of a lame move I know but he'd be up there with the best options for this gamewk anyway.
          Didn't know VDV was a doubt so thanks for the info and we're on the same wavelength regarding malouda and chelsea in general this wk!

          My rival has a 32 point lead. Advice needed!

          Foster (Begovic)
          Walker, Luiz, Dawson (R.Johnson, Huth)
          Adam, Modric, Silva, vDV, N’Zogbia
          Bent, RvP (Carroll)

          5.3 in the bank, one transfer.

          Is it a case of swapping Carroll for Berbatov, captaining him and hoping my rival doesn't do the same.

            Does he have Tevez? Which is he more likely to bring in, Tevez or Berbs? I'd do the other and captain him.

                Then go with your gut. If I had the choice between Tevez and Berbatov for this week I'd get Tevez.

            Your team is very good so just depends how similar it is to your rivals.
            32 is a lot even with a good captain choice so id say you may need to change 1 or 2 of your team if he has the same!
            I like the Carroll to Berba move though.
            Best of luck!

              Cheers. Only things holding me back were mess of a defence (but who cares at this stage) and VDV, but rival has him so might as well stick incase he plays and does well.

                Yeah I'd stick with your defence. Looks ok to me. not great but it's pretty hard to find a clean sheet at the moment so just stick with your Tevez, Berbatov move.

            his top 1k after 17 gameweeks with just 4 transfers makes a mockery of our efforts

          Nani O'Hara VDV Young Adam
          Odem Drogba RVP

          2 free transfers. Gonna do Drogba -> Tevez and Young -> N'Zog.

          Should I also do Odem -> Berbatov for a 4 point hit? I've never liked him in my team but I don't really have anything to lose. Also who to bench of my goodfellows?

          Thoughts?

          A little bit of a problem with my defence (non of them will play?) although, my mini-league is wrapped up nicely. Taking hits isn't a problem what so ever, so I can go transfer wild. What would you suggest gents?

          Not convinced by the Tevez love-in. Shola is de man, or maybe Berbatov. I think there will be goals in the Newcastle v West Brom game.

            Yeah there will be. But Tevez will surely score past a Bolton side who can't keep a clean sheet.

            See above, considering all 3. Tevez & Berba as the "safe" options, Ameobi as the punt.

            I'm thinking Tevez over Berbatov as Man C have something to play for, unlike Man U. Shame that it's away, struggling to get home players.

              golden boot something to play for?

              Plus United won't just pass it around like the last 10 minutes vs Blackburn, they'll go out to score and have fun!

              They'll also be playing for a place in the Champions League starting XI, not that that's likely to change even if Berba scores 6!

                  Yeah, that's some fall from grace. Fair play to him though for picking a good starting side.

                  Basically I want Hangeland, Barton, Ameobi and Berbatov for the final week. So will have to choose a couple of them.

          Just reached my highest ranking ever + 1st in the country (Switzerland) for 4 points. Bit lost with all the rotation/injury risks for last game of the season.
          Don't really know what to do and not really willing to take a hit.

          Defence looks bad atm (VDS, Foster, Huth, RJ, Luiz, Walker, Hangeland); I assume VDS won't play and neither should Luiz & Huth.

          Midfield is: AYoung, Adam, Lamps, VDV, Nzog with VDV being a doubt... too bad, I'd have captained him

          Frontline reads: RVP, Odem, Carroll with Odem being a doubt

          How safe is Berbs? Tevez might be a better bet, isn't he? However, I like my attack, should I transfer in a good DEF (pb being they usually score less than Mids/Fwds)
