Over the past couple of days, we’ve been sorting out our Injuries and Bans database, updating the upcoming suspensions for the season ahead in addition to keeping note of those players still sidelined or unavailable for one reason or another…

This takes into account the ensuing bans for the likes of Tim Cahill and Joey Barton, while Danny Rose and Jason Roberts have already served one game of their respective three-match suspensions. Wayne Bridge’s loan move to Brighton and Chelsea pair Patrick Van Aanholt and Tomas Kalas’ season-long move to Dutch club Vitesse Arnhem have also been noted accordingly.

In terms of injuries, players such as Darren Bent and Nemanja Vidic have now been changed to “available for selection” in light of their respective returns to pre-season training. Any long-term casualties who have yet to return to any sort of action remain marked as unavailable – as always, this includes Kieron Dyer.

We’re also tracking all the injury news from the pre-season matches: those players causing concern will be marked as “knocks” while we await further updates. Their status will of course change should they become “doubts” or “outs” for the season kick-off on August 18.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Hope Vidic is more affordable, as well as 'available'.

    Also hoping Wilshere's status switches to available this side of Xmas.

    Swansea attacking cover. What you folks going for?

    1 - Graham, should be around 6/6.5
    2 - De Guzman - 6 max?
    3 - they are both cheap enough and have good enough fixtures to warrant both of them
    4 - None, defence instead (I am not keen on Swan defender, expecting too much of price hike there)

      Sunderland under O'Neill maybe. Not sure about defensively but they should be decent.
      Fancy Fulham defensively maybe, and Stoke should be better than last season.

        I remember catching Turner @ £4.2m for the last 10 GW's, worked wonders for me.

        Think Sunderland defenders will start at 5m however

          much rather spend 5 million on a Sunderland defender than 4 on a promoted side.
          Gotta take into account that we got very, very lucky with Swansea and Newcastle the last two years, might not be the same this year.

            Are we all agreed that best way is to play 3 at the back ? I recently came 1st and 2nd in the Macdonalds Euro 2012 in my league (picking up £ 225 in the process 🙂 ) and in that version, you could just play 2 defenders. Seemed to work for me.....and FPL really does favour MIDs...even more than forwards....

            Anyone disagree ? I am open to thoughts....but my tactic will be VFM keeper, one good defender (eg Baines) and then 2 cheap....

    Adebayor 33/1 to be top goalscorer this season has lots of appeal if his transfer to Spurs goes through.

    He'll be leading the line and has already gelled with the Spurs players to a certain extent already.

    Couple of quid each way perhaps?

      When I looked at the odds, both Adebayor at 34/1 and Bent at 29/1 stood out for me. But even the favourite was 8/1, so you're in the money if you get it right!

        Yup. Backing Aguero outright at 8/1 makes perfect sense.

        Bent and, especially Adebayor, are great each way shouts.

        I just hope that if Ade's move goes through then those odds come crashing down.

      Just an interesting tidbit..
      Looking at Paddy Power odds there and came across Gareth Bale 150/1.
      Franco Di Santo and Marko Marin came in at 100/1.
      Who comes up with this sh*t?

    For the conspiracy theorists out there: the PL twitter page usually reveals the players whose prices will be released the following day. They did no such thing today. That pretty much means it's 100% tomorrow. (mild cynicism but at the same time could be something)
