Having escaped any major injury concerns from Saturday’s action, Sunday has brought us a major worry with Sergio Aguero hobbling from the field after just 9 minutes of the clash with Southampton. While he walked from the pitch with assistance, seconds later he was stretchered from the sidelines.

The Argentine striker, well backed by Fantasy managers going into the Gameweek, appeared to twist his knee in a challenge with Nathaniel Clyne.

Aguero is currently owned by 32% of Fantasy Premier League managers, with 35% ownership in the Sky Sports game.

The latest from the City medical staff was that they were described as “cautiously optimistic” on the prognosis of Aguero’s injury. According to Sky Sports’ reports, the striker will undergo a scan at the club once the injury has settled when a more conclusive opinion of the problem can be gained.

Roberto Mancini confirmed post-match that his striker would undergo further scans with a full prognosis likely within 48-hours.

“I am worried about Sergio because anything around the knee is dangerous and this injury was so strange. We will have to wait, but we are not sure exactly what the problem is at this point.”

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

        I've realised now that my picture gives everything I say a Partridge feel.
        "Something English pundits singularly fail to point out, perhaps because it doesn't quite fit in with their blinkered view of the world. Nevertheless, nice game".

      I'd wait on Michu. You have Graham. it's important to have some United coverage. You can wait another week and transfer mata- Michu.Mata has a dead gw3 and he will get rested.

        I would take a hit to get the United coverage, if you want Michu long term then get him now while he's still £6.5m. Speculate to accumulate is how I see it, four point hit now can pay dividends later.

    I have a feeling that a lot of people are going to spend a lot of free transfers doing Tevez-Kun-Tevez-Kun throughout the season as they get rotated, injured,rested.
    You get trapped in tunnel vision transferring, drawn in by good fixtures , potentially massive points haul. Same with Rvp-Rooney at a slightly higher price threshold. Back forth back forth.
    Last season I did Walcott -VDV about 3 times each way, goddamnit.

        I have him as well, I 'm going to wait for an injury report. If it's bad, it'll be easy enough to get in Rooney or Rvp for Man U.'s 3 good upcoming fixtures. I'll worry about City coverage after that. 🙂

        I'm not sure I know what to do with it, except to try to stop myself from kneejerking.
        After the end of last season I did a quick analysis of how all my transfers played out, and on average if I had a quality player who wasn't seriously injured, it would have been better to just leave him in if he missed a week, and try to get coverage for that week elsewhere.

    PRICE CHANGES
    Right since the questions keep coming up, this is my understanding of the price change situation having spent far too much time following it last year.
    Websites such as TotalFPL and FISO CTC predict when players are going to change price based on how many transfers were made when a price change happened. Because there have been NO price changes yet, they are guessing right now. However, TotalFPL's guess looks much closer to how FPL worked last year and so I would count on them for now. I expect FISO to fix theirs once the first price change happens.
    I expect Michu to rise tonight and Song & Modric to fall. Not expecting price changes for anyone else, including Torres, Rooney, Aguero and Tevez.

      Hard to be completely sure as FPL can change the price change rulewine tween seasons, but fro seasons past No-one was protected if they were added before GW1 started - but an new arrivals from outside the EPL after GW1 has started do have a protection period.

    I think we all agree that the FPL assist rule is silly.

    I also feel that when a player wins his team a penalty, he should be given an automatic 3 points for winning the penalty.

    If a different player scores that penalty or not, should have no effect on the player that won it.

      1 point for winning it, with 2 more if the penalty is scored.

      If that was the case, Ashley Young would have the most points come end of the season! 😆

      Not me. For one, the definition of the assist comes from the press association, not FPL - FPL just use it for their allocation of points. And there's always going to be an element of ambiguity about any rule but the current one is far less ambiguous than it has been in seasons past.

      i agree with the assist rule being dodgy but thats a poor shout about the penalty points! you should only get your 3 points for the penalty assist if its scored IMO.

    Regardless of the result tomorrow, what is the general consensus on Rooney and RVP?

    Got the £3m but want the right decision

      I dont understand your dilemma.

      RVP has been confirmed as the in-the-box striker.

      RVP will score more goals than Rooney, excluding injuries.

    49 with, lamps (c), Ivan, Nani, Kagawa to come. Happy after dropping Michu, Petric and Ba just before the deadline.

      I'd do Michu if you're going to make a transfer now. I would recommend getting SWP out though if he's not even going to start.
