The Treatment Table – Gameweek 3

With the first international break of the season already underway, we scour the Premier League treatment rooms to assess the players who picked up injuries over the weekend action.

Arsenal
Laurent Koscielny was withdrawn midway through the first-half of yesterday’s trip to Leicester after sustaining a head injury. Arsene Wenger reckons the Frenchman “should be alright” in a week, while the Gunners boss also revealed Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (calf) and Mesut Ozil (ankle) picked up problems in the 1-1 stalemate.

Aston Villa
Skipper Ron Vlaar was subbed off due to a calf complaint in Villa’s win over Hull, Paul Lambert has confirmed.

Chelsea
Oscar was unavailable for the Blues’ trip to Everton in Saturday evening after being ruled out with an ankle problem. Eden Hazard has since pulled out of the Belgium squad with a “small injury”.

Crystal Palace
Marouane Chamakh is set to be sidelined for a month with the hamstring problem picked up during the weekend draw at Newcastle. Fellow forward Dwight Gayle was also withdrawn at St James’ Park after sustaining an ankle knock but is expected to be fit in time for Gameweek 4.

Everton
Similar to Chelsea’s Hazard, Romelu Lukaku has also withdrawn from international duties for Belgium due to a small injury.

Man City
Summer signing Fernando was subbed off during the first half of Saturday’s home loss to Stoke with a groin problem, Manuel Pellegrini admitted post-match.

Man United
Initial reports suggested Juan Mata was replaced with three minutes remaining of United’s draw at Burnley with a hamstring problem. Louis van Gaal has since stated the Spaniard was withdrawn due to cramp. The Red Devils’ boss also confirmed Angel di Maria was subbed off as a precautionary measure after sustaining a knock on his calf.

Newcastle
Newcastle right-back Daryl Janmaat was withdrawn with just three minutes left of Saturday’s clash against Palace after picking up a knock.

Stoke
Peter Odemwingie was forced off with a knee problem just 20 minutes after appearing off the bench in the Potters’ win at City.

Tottenham
Danny Rose was withdrawn midway through the second-half of yesterday’s home loss to Liverpool with a leg problem.

    I think United are in for more of a ride. Still hours to go. This seems very calculated, almost as if Woodward and United wanted to cash in on some massive feel-good moment for the club and the fans after the dour starting notes.

    How hard would it really be to tell all the concerned parties to wait until deadline day to announce, one by one.

        Doubt it massively, we still need a CB or CM. There is no way that Van Gaal would buy another striker instead of a defensive player, just because a world class striker is available.

          4 CBs in Evans, Smalling, Jones, Rojo and then Blackett and Keane as back up. He could leave it at that

          Blind, Carrick, Fletcher, Fellaini, ADM, Herrera can play CM

            Quality not quantity. Evans and Smalling are not good enough, Smalling far more so.

            Fellaini is just a body at this point, Carrick will have been just off surgery and Fletcher is doing well enough for someone in his condition.

          If he's about to use 60m for another attacking player, he'd better try to use it for the likes of Hummels, T. Silva, etc. With no real leader in the defence, they will be shite. Chelsea have Terry, City have Kompany and United? Johny Evans? Always scred Phil Jones? Phew!

    I know its transfer deadline day and attention is on that but I've just had a look at the situation with players rising in price and I think its safe to say TotalFPL are calculating the % increases wrong. In the past the required NTI for price rises has always been based on a set threshold for all players. Assuming this is still the case then we would expect to see consistency between the % increases shown and NTI for each player.

    Taking a couple of examples with players that haven't risen this GW, Fabregas has gone up 3.6% today with 8,950 NTI whereas Shawcross has risen 11.6% with 9,483. If the price rise thresholds are the same for each player then TotalFPLs workings are incorrect.

    There were 6 players that rose in price overnight - Siggy, Costa, Dyer, Sterling, Weimann and Dier. Using MVTaylor's excellent work here http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2014/08/31/the-community-round-up-56/?hc_page=13#hc_comment_8159927 the following players were over 100% for a rise last night - Costa, Guzan, Wisdom, Dyer, Ramsey and Lloris.

    As you can see, only 2/6 (Costa and Dyer) that were expected to rise actually did and 4 (Siggy, Sterling, Weimann and Dier) that were not predicted to rise did. I think the key to explaining this is the number of transfers. I wildcarded last night and studied the data on TotalFPL and FPL carefully. I know that none of the 4 expected risers which didn't (Guzan, Wisdom, Ramsey and Lloris) were receiving high NTI. If memory serves they each gained between 1-4k NTI yesterday.

    On the other hand, 3/4 of the unexpected risers (Siggy, Sterling and Dier) all received a high number of NTI yesterday. The reason they were not close to 100% appears to be an error with TotalFPLs current formula or data.

    This leaves Weimann, who started getting transfers in following his haul yesterday but not large amounts like the other 3 unexpected risers and he wasn't anywhere near 100%. Looking at his history on FPL it shows NTI of 55k up to the GW3 deadline. Based on this I believe he was actually close to 100% prior to his performance yesterday and the rise in transfers in following this took him past the threshold.

    In summary, when looking at price rises pay little attention to the % bar on its own, the key is the number of net transfers in.

    Looking at the current data I suspect Fabregas, Shawcross and Schneiderlin could be closer to a rise than they appear to be.
