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Laurent Koscielny was withdrawn midway through the first-half of yesterday’s trip to Leicester after sustaining a head injury.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 Fellow forward Dwight Gayle was also withdrawn at St James’ Park after sustaining an ankle knock but is expected to be fit in time for Gameweek 4.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Similar to Chelsea’s Hazard, Romelu Lukaku has also withdrawn from international duties for Belgium due to a small injury.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 Louis van Gaal has since stated the Spaniard was withdrawn due to cramp.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Newcastle right-back Daryl Janmaat was withdrawn with just three minutes left of Saturday’s clash against Palace after picking up a knock.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Danny Rose was withdrawn midway through the second-half of yesterday’s home loss to Liverpool with a leg problem.

    Stambouli to Tottenham confirmed by Montpellier

    1. Gimli son of Gloin
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Is he good?

      1. Yome
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        He is a player from Montpellier Academy, original position is DM and can play also CB.
        He is an under 21 for France. He is very promising, good signing for Spurs

    That awkward moment when you consider a Liverpud defender. Moreno fwiw. How does one cope with such moments?

    1. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Looks like a proper attacking LB. I'm close.

      1. Jafalad
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Agreed. Makes me wonder why the Scouts persist with Lovren in the Watchlist.

    Somebody free Ben Arfa please

    1. Parm

      Saw him linked with Birmingham yesterday 😆

        would be great after gargamel once called him the poor man's mcsheffrey

  5. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    I've just activated it. What a buzz. Going to keep very keen eye on injuries, I am reshaping my team.

  6. Not Irish
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Oi, FFS. Falcao. 😀

    What a signing. Also makes my decision to WC that much sweeter. Going straight into my team.

    1. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      meh, I have 2 frees

      Mata and Rooney to Sterling and Falcao (c)

      sorted

      1. King Nil Miss ✩
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Would do only one and wait on Falcão, but I guess the fever is bigger.

      2. HNI
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Will Falcao price rise over the international break??I mean are they protected for 1st week or not else he would rise 0.3 easily after 1st week!

    2. Frank Black
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Another wonderful United player who won't score.

    3. SENTI CAZORLA
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      even if he is priced 12? and is he even fit remember him playing only 45 of the previous match

      1. Not Irish
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        He surely won't be that expensive. If he's as or more expensive than Studge I'll go Studge for now. If closer to Rooney, doubling up on United strikers.

        😀

        1. cramps
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          rooney AND falcao? surely falcao and costa must be a stronger combo?

          1. Not Irish
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Will have him too. 😀

            1. cramps
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              def: 4.0 - 4.0 - 4.0 - 4.0 - 4.0 😀

  7. Takedog1
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    I'm so tempted to WC but seems madness in gw 4!

    Who's doing it??

    1. Brian (Not the Messiah)
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      all the cool kids

    2. cramps
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      i agree, but it depends on your team. i only have four transfers i would like to make, but i only really want two of them now and then the last two can be done over the following two gameweeks. no way i'm wildcarding unless the international injuries tear up my team (as they most certainly did last year)

    Falcao has failed his medical

        Mate theres a million stories all over twitter at the moment most of it is speculation. Use a bit of common sense

        Haemoglobin reading too high.

        Flying can be very dehydrating.......

    Falcao has never played in the CL apparently. Got Porto to the CL, then moved to Atleti. Got Atleti to the CL, then moved to Monaco. Got Monaco to the CL, then left for United...

    2. A Defender's Nightmare
      • 13 Years

      What's wrong with him? He doesn't seem to be very ambitious.

  12. FantasyNik123
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Any of these double rising?

    A) Schneiderlin

    B) Moreno

    C) Shawcross

    D) Naismith

    1. Wirtzle Gummidge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      A and D likely.

    2. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I was wondering similar. TOTALfpl fixed yet?

      1. Think Tank
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Nope.

        1. Limbo
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Ok ta.

    3. LOCO ABREU
      • 13 Years

      maybe d

  13. BantamPhil
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Just 4 premier league signings so far

    Disappointing deadline day, it can only get better

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Rednapp will surely go mental at some point today.

  14. cheeky_ash
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone know if Falcao's value on FPL yet?

    I'm guessing 11M

    1. cramps
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      in that area somewhere. 10.5-11.5 seems likely

  15. Bo Bosson
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Hmmm wild card or 8 point hit? Help please

    1. SENTI CAZORLA
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      8 pt hit

      1. Colonel Wasabi
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Keep.....

        1. Colonel Wasabi
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          (ie. 8 point hit ! ^ agree)

    2. roscola
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I'd say 8 pointer. WC ought to be worth more than 8 points at the right time

    3. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      -8 now and WC if you have some problems later in the week.

    4. Notorious
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      -8

  16. BantamPhil
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Falcao the new Ozil

    1. BantamPhil
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Of FPL

  17. Nibbsy
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone have any insight whatsoever into when/if Mata will drop in price? TFPL being useless takes away a pretty big advantage I used to have in my minileagues.

    1. Think Tank
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      He's on around -48k so far, and Sterling bandwagon in full effect. I'd guess sooner than later.

  18. BLACKSHEEP
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    whats the deal with bruce?

    1. SENTI CAZORLA
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      wont play 100%

      1. BLACKSHEEP
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Just lower in selection order or still injured?

        1. SENTI CAZORLA
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Davies Dawson Chester McShane all above him in the pecking order

          1. BLACKSHEEP
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            cheers!

  19. HNI
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    guys will Falcao price rise over the international break??I mean are they protected for 1st week or not else he would rise 0.3 easily after till GW 4!

    1. LOCO ABREU
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      don't think so this season

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Protected.
      Then again, this season has been odd. Never can tell who's rising and falling.

    3. Spectrum-FFS Doubles Champ
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Protected I think

      1. Think Tank
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Keep an eye on ADM and see if and when he goes up for clues about Falcao.

  20. Limbo
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Considering:

    Rooney > Costa
    Yaya > Fab

    -4

    Yay or Nay?

  21. GoonerByron
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    How would you say Kolarov, Mata, Dzeko -> Wilson, Sterling, Costa looks for -4? Would give me..

    Krul
    Terry - Wilson - Chester
    Hazard - Sanchez - Sterling - Siggy
    Rooney - Costa - Naismith

    Foster - Chambers - Wanyama - Naylor

  23. Bo Bosson

    Nope

  24. BlueIncognito
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    A. Swap Mata out for Sterling to take an 8 point hit but don't lose around 0.5

    B. Keep Mata

    1. Bo Bosson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      A

  25. Adam
    • 16 Years

    Mata confirmed on his blog it was just cramp, not a hamstring injury.

    1. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Good enough for me. It was the end of the game and I imagine he and LvG didn't want to risk it being worse, or making it worse for the sake of a few minutes.

    2. Wirtzle Gummidge
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      Caused from the long balls.

    Dzeko > Adebayor for free. Yay or Nay?

    Hardly fills me with excitement looking at it, but Dzeko's gotta go

    1. XhakaCan
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Yay

  27. Bo Bosson

    Forget total fpl.

    A) Rooney to Costa
    B) Bojan to Naismith
    C) Both (-4)
