Van der Vaart in Hamstring Scare

It’s nights like this we all dread. The words “Rafael Van der Vaart “ and “hamstring” have Fantasy managers on edge, with the breaking news that the on-song Dutchman has limped out of Holland’s friendly against Switzerland with a possible problem.

The Spurs player has been in sensational form of late, with 6 goals and 14 bonus points in his last six league games seeing his Fantasy Premier league (FPL) price rocket since gameweek six, jumping from 9.7 to 10.5 as he helped Spurs take the league by storm. Seven wins and a draw in the last eight games have helped Harry Redknapp’s side up to fifth, level on points with fourth-placed Chelsea with a game in hand.

Sixty-six minutes into tonight’s game at the Amsterdam Arena, though, and Van der Vaart’s notorious hamstring problems reared their head again. At present, there’s no further news other than confirmation of his withdrawal from the goalless draw- nothing concrete on the injury front to report. No need to panic just yet, folks.

Robin Van Persie owners will be pleased to know the Gunners skipper came through the game unscathed but Harry Redknapp-given his recent heart scare- will be off for a lie down.

We’ll bring you more news as we get it.

    RMWCT please?

    Vorm. Ruddy
    Jones. McAuley. Simpson. Brown. Wilkinson
    Silva. VDV. Sess. Sinclair. Walters
    Roo. RVP. Klasnic

    1.1 in bank to get in Enrique after next two GW's.

    Not too sure about Klasnic though, would Eagles-Walters then someone in for Klasnic be better?

    Cheers

      ruddy is a complete waste. get moreira for 3.9 and always play vorm. moreira comes in when injured.
      nice defence. cheap is the way to go.
      Id try and get lamps into your midfield.
      klasnic OUT. morison (nor) IN (to get lamps in)

          it's all about the midfield. 4 big mids - lamps / dvd / silva / nani

          you can still get rvp / hairproblems upfront. just downsize the back

      Great, almost identical to my draft.
      Obviously VDV is now pending, but think the switch to Bale if so, or if out for a while maybe Defoe will get a good run, and prob on pens?
      Am undecided between Eagles and Bendtner or Sess and Klasnic
      Keep Walters imo
      I was thinking about lampard, but at that price, being on 4 yellows is a risk

          Personally like Ramsay Brunt and Drenthe over the other options. Sinclair only scores pens and Walters nice run of fixtures will come to an end soon. What is the rest of your team? maybe there is some other way to finance getting Walters if you think it is the best choice which he could be.

              Lookind at Givens poor fixtures and not so good CS tally so far you could just ship him for westwood and find the finances there, also You may also look at getting rid of Raylor, since you already have Simpson and newcastle have tough fixtures coming up. Also Enrique Richards will encounter very tricky fixtures in the coming weeks, that may leave you a little think on the defense.
              Maybe Given,Raylor to Westwood and someone cheaper(Mcauley. This could help you upgrade Petrov and Dyer.

                Yes but I like Raylor.. Highest scoring defensive player and he shoots freekicks sometimes. The next three fixtures for him are awful but.. I would like to know for how long Mignolet is injured before I bring in Westwood. But probably the smartest thing now to do is to bring Brunt in for M.Petrov and then see if Rooney will start scoring again.. Wait and see 😀

      probably wouldn't do Rooney > Suarez

      in terms of "coming good", all Rooney probably has to do is go back to being a forward again. Suarez has been in that position and hasn't really managed it yet.

      the others seem OK

      Here are my thoughts TheLightKnight:

      Cech + Moreira = 10.8m. For that you can buy Howard + Vorm (who rotate really well) and still have change or, better still, Vorm + Hennessey/Krul/Kenny who rotate ok and save even more cash.

      Lescott - why pay more when you can have Kompany less. Lescott is also a rotation risk in my opinion with Toure and Savic pushing for starts.

      Smalling rotation risk (and not 100% fit)

      Coloccini - I'd rather have Simpson and save a million.

      Midfield is good but I would upgrade Milner to Silva from the money you could save in defense

      Balotelli is that up front? I'd rather have Dzeko personally

      A lot of questionable pick in my opinion. Are you happy with your team?

      8 point hit that includes Suarez out and a defensive change is madness in my opinion. You need Taylor and Suarez to do nothing and Vermaillen and Sturridge to get 13 or more points between them just to break even.

      Brave move getting rid of Ward. I've been planning it for weeks but he goes and gets a 10 point haul!

        My thinking is that Liverpool have poor fixtures and better to get rid of Suarez at the start of them although when you look at the arithmetic it does seem risky.

        I had no problem getting rid of Ward. Wolves defence is rotten and it is unlikely he will score again anytime soon.

    D'après Bert van Marwijk, le sélectionneur des Pays-Bas, l'attaquant néerlandais souffre "d'une légère contracture à une cuisse". "Ce n'est pas grave mais le match face à l'Allemagne arrive trop tôt."

          dont get me wrong. i LOVE the prospect of drenthe. id love to replace my currently underperforming ramsey with him for his price. but everton suck this year so why gamble? From here on in i personally don't think 4 big mids are the way to go. with 2 big strikers.

          thus - lamps / silva / nani / dvd / rvp / aguero or hairpiece ... downsize the others

    Why are people transferring Luis Suarez out ?
    The hard games is where the best strikers scores.
    If Arsenal can bag 5 at Chelsea, I think Liverpool can do the same (and concede less).
    Against Manchester City , last season Liverpool won 3-0 with Englands Messi scoring twice 😉
    Although Liverpool could get a battering from City , They'll Still Score A Few.
    And for those that don't know Luis Suarez scored 4 for Uruguay yesterday , so really he ain't worth a 4 point to transfer out with the likes of Rooney playing in midfield ?
