Injuries

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Laurent Koscielny was withdrawn midway through the first-half of yesterday’s trip to Leicester after sustaining a head injury.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 Fellow forward Dwight Gayle was also withdrawn at St James’ Park after sustaining an ankle knock but is expected to be fit in time for Gameweek 4.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Similar to Chelsea’s Hazard, Romelu Lukaku has also withdrawn from international duties for Belgium due to a small injury.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 Louis van Gaal has since stated the Spaniard was withdrawn due to cramp.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Newcastle right-back Daryl Janmaat was withdrawn with just three minutes left of Saturday’s clash against Palace after picking up a knock.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Danny Rose was withdrawn midway through the second-half of yesterday’s home loss to Liverpool with a leg problem.

    340k a week for Falcao not bad at all.

    1. Fantasy Gold
      • 10 Years

      I don't care. As long as he is playing for United that's all that matters. What an amazing signing 🙂

      1. Obi Wan Elokobi
        • 12 Years

        Quality signing unfortunately he's not what you need.

          Everybody needs a deadly finisher like Falcao.

    People believe what ever SSN is set in stone.....

    1. 50shades of o'shea

      Say

    2. XhakaCan
      • 9 Years

      They really backed down on their earlier report of Welbeck doing a medical.

  5. JWF
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    If Welbeck does move, I'll be tempted to draft him in. Rooney to Welbeck...?

      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      wait a few weeks for fixtures

  6. Sam
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    Played FPL for years but never understood price rises/transfers. I have a few like this but, just for an example, I can sell Costa for 10.5 but to buy him he's 10.6, same with Dyer who's 5.5 to sell but 5.6 to buy. Can anyone explain why I don't get market value for a player when I sell them?

    1. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      They have to have an increase of 0.2 for you to make profit

    2. JWF
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      You only receive half of the profit. So if you paid 10m for a player who has then risen to 10.2m you only get 10.1m when you sell. It's rounded down top so you only get 0.2m of a 0.5m rise.

    3. Red Viper
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      FPL claims half the profit when you sell a player for a profit.

    4. Blue Lion
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I doubt you have played it for years. Anyways .2 gain in value= .1 gain in selling price.

      1. Sam
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Not sure why I'd lie about that when it makes me look slightly silly to admit I'm still a bit confused by it. Don't mind my GW history since 07/08.

    5. Sam
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Cheers folks. Pretty simple in theory then. Look a bit dim now.

    6. Milan
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      It took me around 15 minutes when I started playing to understand them so seriously doubt that you played it for years.

        Thanks man.

        People are just using guesswork then I assume when making transfer decisions, praying, and then checking in the morning.

        1. Bolivian Seaman
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Kind of, it's getting easier to guess. A high intake of players over a short period of time makes a rise

  11. cramps
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    anyone else in the "Last Man Standing" league? how does the elimination work? i understand that the bottom x number of players are deleted each week, but is there a set structure someone could explain?

    1. Woy of the Wovers
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Over to TM. Probably 30-40 players eliminated each GW atm.

    2. Fergies fledgling
      • 12 Years

      Last page eliminated each gameweek

  13. FPL Touches
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 9 months ago

    It's a shame we didn't make the Champions League and have had to settle for Di Maria and Falcao instead of Lambert and Lallana 😥

    1. Obi Wan Elokobi
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      Yet we still win games 🙂

      1. goriuanx
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        Some United fans on here are as annoying as heck. Liverpool finished on top of them last year and will probably finish on top of them again.

        1. FPL Touches
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 9 months ago

          Your point being...?

          Whether or not Liverpool finish ahead of Utd again this season is irrelevant. Utd are far more adept at signing better players whom will inevitably make our team better than yours.

          1. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
            • 9 Years
            9 years, 9 months ago

            Not when you go without being in the Champions League for a decade

              • 13 Years

              1 year mate

    2. Ady87
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      I know mate, only CL clubs can attract stars like Emre Cann, Manquillo and Origi.

      1. Obi Wan Elokobi
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        No 340k a week attracts players like Falcao.

      2. FPL Touches
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        It's an injustice! 🙁

    3. goriuanx
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 9 months ago

      It's also a shame because Lallana and Lambert will be playing in the CL again next year, whereas Di Maria and Falcao will be looking for new clubs

      1. FPL Touches
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 9 months ago

        My point is that the idea that 'Utd won't win anything for 10 years' is completely redundant because we evidently have the cash and attraction to sign world class players capable of winning us trophies again.

        1. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!

    Anyone we think might be double rising starting today? Will be activating WC before the GW starts so may as well do it now right? Caught 3 rises last night just in my team so don't think I've missed out yet.

            Well I was praying he wouldn't quite make the rise last night and he's got Chelsea away next so trying to avoid doing transfers too early this year... but he's clearly essential so I don't want a Ramsey/Yaya situation on my hands from last season lol 🙂

    Spurs following Arsenal's lead and failing to sign the players they need. 6th place this year me thinks.

        No bloody chance. It turns out the only thing more important to Levy than his ego is his wallet. He used to love transfer deadline day as a way of boosting his own profile and popularity but now it's all about keeping net spend to an absolute minimum. Guessing this might be the lead up to the new stadium and we'll have a fair few years of under-investment.

          Indeed, it would appear to be stadium related. I am not sure it is Levy though, he is just doing Uncle Joe's bidding.

          Still I reckon there will be one more signing before the window closes. Still hopeful on Jay Rodriguez.

            Thought by picking England I would get loads, didn't realise English people are too ashamed to put their name against England team

              Manchester United's transfer season summed up in one vine.

              Maybe Man Utd will pull out of the Welbeck deal right at the last hour of the transfer window leaving Arsenal no time to sign a striker

              Scholes said Blind wasn't good enough for United.

              What would he know?

                Scholes is a sell-out.

                He needs to keep his mouth shut.
