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Laurent Koscielny was withdrawn midway through the first-half of yesterdayโ€™s trip to Leicester after sustaining a head injury. Arsene Wenger reckons the Frenchman โ€œshould be alrightโ€ 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 Villaโ€™s win over Hull, Paul Lambert has confirmed.

Chelsea
Oscar was unavailable for the Bluesโ€™ 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 โ€œsmall injuryโ€.

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 Fellow forward Dwight Gayle was also withdrawn at St Jamesโ€™ Park after sustaining an ankle knock but is expected to be fit in time for Gameweek 4.

Everton
Similar to Chelseaโ€™s Hazard, Romelu Lukaku has also withdrawn from international duties for Belgium due to a small injury.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 Saturdayโ€™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 Unitedโ€™s draw at Burnley with a hamstring problem. Louis van Gaal has since stated the Spaniard was withdrawn due to cramp. The Red Devilsโ€™ 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Newcastle right-back Daryl Janmaat was withdrawn with just three minutes left of Saturdayโ€™s clash against Palace after picking up a knock.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 Pottersโ€™ win at City.

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Danny Rose was withdrawn midway through the second-half of yesterdayโ€™s home loss to Liverpool with a leg problem.

    Doosra, how will you choose between Adebayor and Welbeck? ๐Ÿ˜†

    Oh wait, you'll get both right? ๐Ÿ˜‰

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

      hehe

    2. JWF
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      If Welbeck goes to Le Arse I'll be very tempted.

      1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        He needs to show he can find the back of the net first. He is no better than Gru in all honesty.

        1. JWF
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah but he's much cheaper.

        2. Wilshere Knowledge
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Giroud would be a great option at 6.9m...

    3. Indeed!

      Probably.

      Carlsberg.

      1. Yome

    4. Obi Wan Elokobi
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      He's top 5k in the world :/

  2. GlasgowFF
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    How much for Falcao then?

    12M?

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

      10.5-11

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

        Rooney not looking so good now.

        1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          He is out for me ig Falcao comes in at 10.5. If he's 11 I'll struggle a bit and will make my def as weak as p1ss

    2. Raddy
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      10.5 i reckon. Wouldn't make sense to be more than Costa..

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

        i think they underpriced costa and won't make that mistake with falcao

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

        11m seems right. 11.5 would be a bit steep, considering united's form (if that's something FPL cares about)

    3. Woy of the Wovers
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      11.5

    Imagine a fantasy football game where you drafted out every single player in the Premier League to a player.

    Just bring five of your best friends together for one day, and after that you can be sure that every single action for the rest of the season will make somebody happy.

    Wooooo!

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

      80 players a piece would make it very hard to know who you have though

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

        Has the basis of a game though

      2. Gargamel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Ahh damnit, yes you're right.

        Somebody would have to do some programming and have the scores taken form the FPL website every gameweek. It's not hard if you know what to do.

        Now, where to find five friends ๐Ÿ˜ณ

  5. Obi Wan Elokobi
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    In all seriousness I would like to be considered for someone's hockey team I can moderate my posts to keep everyone happy. I do know quite a bit of football and would like to enter one of these tournaments this year.

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

      Based on merit and I'm sure someone should take you on board. Don't moderate your posts just to get on a team though!

      1. Obi Wan Elokobi
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Just to keep everyone happy I won't be as harsh for a while.

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

          I see JT's Dog offered you a spot, now you can continue your old ways as well ๐Ÿ˜‰

        How long do you get on the internet in prison?

    3. Fifa las vegas

      Football isn't hockey though, is it? ๐Ÿ˜

    4. The Missing Link

      themissingnigerian@outlook.com if you interested pal. Don't really care what you write on here as long as you contribute to the team.

  6. Whazza
    • 13 Years

    What's this hockey tournament about? Where can i participate?

  7. Reed_Rothchild
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Any wildcard teams with Falcao? I rate him a lot higher than Rooney.

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I'll probably put him in if he is under 11m.

    2. Raddy
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Not on WC but might pop him as have 2FT.
      Been playing too safe this season and fancy a gamble

    3. applebonkers

      • 16 Years

      in a week's time maybe

  8. andres
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    so who pulled the trigger on the WC after today?

    1. Reed_Rothchild
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I always wildcard during titis time with the transfer deadline and 2 week international break.

  9. There's Always One!
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Welbeck is a okay player but I wouldn't/dont want him as a 1st choice forward.

    But I still can't believe Utd are going to sell him to Arsenal!

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

      It shows how highly Man U rate him if they are willing to sell him to a rival.

      1. There's Always One!
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        The only player id sell to a rival is Anderson! For obvious reasons!

      2. Ad4m
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Like Mata to United

        1. There's Always One!
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          If you compare mata with Anderson you should maybe start following another sport because you know f@#k all about football!

    2. โญ Bemba_Da โญ
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      could be the next sturridge

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

        Probably not though.

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

        He really could be. But not for yous. ๐Ÿ˜€

      3. There's Always One!
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        If he gets a long run of games up front he Could very well be. Thats why i wouldn't sell to a rival

    3. Jaws
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      An OK player? There's rumours about a couple of hitmen awaiting the Frog's return from his Rome fun trip.

  10. Defcons are for Kinnear
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Ben Arfa is tempting

  11. 50shades of o'shea
    • 11 Years

    Welbeck is going to spurs
    Falcao to man city or no one in England

        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Just trying to make up the same bs that is going around that people believe. I hate deadline day. Everyone believes exactly what SSN say and so much bs and rumours that are blown up that everyone believes.

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

          I think its severely lacking in rumours actually

    4. Licky
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Man City have already been offered him, balked at his price, and opted not to take him due to concerns over his knee.

  12. Hibbo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Ben Arfas shite.

    1. 50shades of o'shea
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Does have moments of brilliance tho

      1. Woy of the Wovers
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Just does that to tempt gullible FPL fools.

    2. Low Budget Football
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Can't agree with that, total waste of a talented player

    3. mouldy_uk
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Nope, i think you will find that it is actually Alan Pardew that is turd

      1. Low Budget Football
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        This

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

      Is surprising Bruce is going for him if I'm honest.

    5. Olivier Bernards watch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I disagree. Having watched his good and bad games every week over the last 4 years, I have to say that he is one of the most talented dribblers of a football I have ever seen, and has won us quite a few games pretty much on his own. However, Pardew clearly didn't know how to motivate him and fit him in to the team properly. I'm deeply disappointed to see him leave.

  13. Tim Canterbury

    apparently he got the phone call shortly afterwards advising that, unfortunately, he would be going to utd

    1. Ad4m
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Apparently deleted the tweet after 5 mins, wasn't for the Utd deal, just Real deal off

    Before Falcoa arrived, Rooney was a nice safe choice , now it more tricky

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

      A nice safe choice for 2 points?

    2. Mr_Partridge
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Rooney is now the 3rd best striker at United. Has been made captain when he shouldn't even be in the team soon

      1. Fifa las vegas
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        3rd!? ๐Ÿ˜ฏ

        I think he's every, and I mean EVERY, bit as good as Rvp!

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

          RVP is much better dude, come on lets be honest...

      2. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        He'll play in the hole behind Falcao and RVP

    1. Woy of the Wovers

      Transfer activity will die after tomorrow.

      Possibly. I have activated my WC to get some of the little gems that have shown at the start. Don't get too hung up on Rises. The next window may be the one for that

      1. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad

    A season long loan for Negredo could mean Falcao coming in. Hmm..

      Nah, feck off! He's ours...

        I don't care as long as I'm able to get him into my FPL team..

  28. VougieDipond
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Cleverley and Borini need to sack their agents. both moves were ideal for the players careers if not bank balance

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

      Agreed but I suspect Borini believes himself good enough for Liverpool and unhappy at the thought of having to leave again. Cleverley thinks far too much of himself as well.
