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Laurent Koscielny was withdrawn midway through the first-half of yesterday’s trip to Leicester after sustaining a head injury.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 Fellow forward Dwight Gayle was also withdrawn at St James’ Park after sustaining an ankle knock but is expected to be fit in time for Gameweek 4.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Similar to Chelsea’s Hazard, Romelu Lukaku has also withdrawn from international duties for Belgium due to a small injury.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 Louis van Gaal has since stated the Spaniard was withdrawn due to cramp.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Newcastle right-back Daryl Janmaat was withdrawn with just three minutes left of Saturday’s clash against Palace after picking up a knock.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Danny Rose was withdrawn midway through the second-half of yesterday’s home loss to Liverpool with a leg problem.

      #AFC have agreement with #MUFC for permanent Welbeck signing. Fee in region of £16m, no issues expected with medical & terms #bbcdeadlineday

        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        like it? I do, as a neutral with a likening of Arsenal. Hopefully his FPL price will hold off for a few weeks til the fixtures pick up to! 🙂

    5. Garcks
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      If it does go through, he's one hell of a steal on FF at £6.9m

    6. Syd.
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Clubs have agreed a fee

      Looks a done deal

    5. VougieDipond

    I am NOT happy. We've just ruined our window for me. 🙁

      Dat Guy 🙁

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

        Would've been happier leaving Falcao in Monaco. 🙁

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

          Karma for slating Arsenal all day 😀

        Can't believe we're bailing out your lame duck manager.

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

          LVG is a lame duck if anyone

            • 16 Years

            This ^^^. MUN are fecked.

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

              Give over, Doos.

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

            Yes, because we're obviously not backing him financially. 🙄

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

              If you didn't financial back him you'd finish 17th with the current squad and his lunacy.

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

                Trollololol

    3. Sunny 😎
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Why not. United have done a good piece of business with the Welbeck deal imo

    4. pundit of punts
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Poor decision in letting Danny go.

      1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Appalling.

  7. HuttonDressedasLahm

    Welbeck = The new Henry

    😆 😆

  8. Syd.

    Andy Murray 2-0 up

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

      Thanks

  9. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    The Athletico boys could be fantastic long term this season.

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

    Even if Welbeck signs, he is not a 100% starter. Sanchez could still play up front, Walcott also...

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

      He'll be looking at Wally and Sanchez flanking either him or Gru. Sanchez isnt a striker

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

        Wenger bought him to play him as a striker. well I will monitor. So it means Caz to go to the bench with Ozil behind the striker

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

          Who knows. If he is a striker, he has a long way to go to prove it.

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

    You'd imagine at 346K/week that Falcao is guaranteed to start. RVP more likely to drop out than Mata?

    1. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      RvP is set to have a knee operation which will rule him out for most of, if not the rest of the season.

      1. Canadian Football
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        This confirmed?

      2. Andy1
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Source?

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

      I don't know who will play around him, but IMO Falcao is now their best player.

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

    Anyone think this is just United stiffing us with the Welbeck deal - stretching it out to the deadline to then refuse at the last minute.

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

      😆 That would be well played to be fair.

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

      God I hope so.

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

        extremely unsportsmanlike, but i'd love to see welbeck stay

      This often ends badly though

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

    Sterling IN - Mata OUT
    Dyer IN - Mutch OUT

    Worth my hard saved 2 FT's

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

            Fair point, thanks, any suggestions for a 5.8m then, need to shift Mutch

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

              4º or 5ºmid?

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

                Would be 5th mid (assuming that's what you mean)

    Ok guys, final call for recruits today. Only a couple more free spots remaining. Drop me a mail if you interested in getting involved in the comp. themissingnigerian@outlook.com with you FFS name and FPL history(as long as Hernandez isnt up front we can work with it)

  16. piquiblanco
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    This whole deadline day made me play with my WC and try to squeeze in Welbz. My front 8 is very nice, shame I can't fit them all in on the pitch!

  17. dr manhattan
    • 16 Years

    I imagine there are some very jerky knees among the scout community this evening 🙂

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

      wildcarders are going to have to take few shots in the dark on some players I think

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

    Is DiMaria the player to get for ManU?

    1. applebonkers
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      dont know if he'll be given a position where he can score enough

  19. Twelve years a slave
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    At 6.9 Welbeck perfect for the third striker spot. Cheaper than Bony and co.
    If only those fixtures were better.

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

      definitely on the radar for GW8

    2. Jinswick
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      They're not bad from an attacking sense imo

    3. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      ABSOLUTELY BLOODY THIS!!!

    4. Canadian Football
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      By the time they improve, we will see how he fits in. Thinking the same.

  20. 4vets
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Team Belgium so far:

    Manager: Shipstontrev
    Capatain: 4vets
    Vice Captain: Gnu
    A Defender's Nightmare
    Grounderz
    Sarnab
    Emperikal
    Colonel-Shoe
    Doosra

    The original Belgium 5 survive from last summer's 3rd place (I think) WC competition and are massively strengthened with new signings.

    You know we're good. You know you want to join us 🙂

      1. 4vets
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        A Defender's Nightmare and Grounderz fit the profile. We have a policy of old (very old!) and new 🙂

    6. Lawrø

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

    I think I might keep Jelly for 1 more with that kind of support coming in

    1. Captain Shirokov
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I would

  22. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Welbeck worth getting now he off to arsenal?

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

      Wait to see if he starts. Could be a steal, obviously.

    2. Return Of Chamakh
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      6.9, could be interesting! What would the pecking order be I guess, very important

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

      Fixtures allow us to wait a few weeks, but if he is nailed on, than id be all over that

      1. super zlatan
        • 14 Years

    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Please help. I want to do

    Eriksen -> Fabregas

    but I need to get a hit. Which one is better?

    a) Dzeko -> Pelle

    or

    b) Debuchy -> Wilson

    I have the exact cash so I need to be fast.

      Dzeko looks like 3rd man ATM.

      I'd maybe go with Wilson, debuchy hasn't exactly set the world on fire yet and Dzeko is so consistent season to season with getting the points somehow

      Wait until he scores a hattie

      Quite happy, taken a young England international from an old rival...

      Still has to go through though

      When you look at the strikers to have moved, arsenal fans will feel aggrieved. Doesn't solve the giroud injury, just adds another body of less than equal quality

    Cleverley to Everton will only happen if Man Utd agree to a loan...time is marching on and no-one has blinked yet.

    What do people make of RVP's rumoured knee op? Very nervous draft mini league owner...

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

      he's dead, falcao signing also

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

      RVP is done

      Looks old and knackered

    3. Kostja

      It seems so much more likely considering the cash that was just spent on a new striker

  28. Reed_Rothchild

    Falcao and Blind the players to get for ManU

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

      Or none.

      Too much points spread now imo

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

      Only if Blind is listed as a def

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

        Agreed i think hell be a mid, and not evennailed on

  29. Reed_Rothchild

    I guess Sterling Siggy Ramsey Fabregas is the template midfield.

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

      Fabregas isnt really, the other 3 for sure

    2. LOCO ABREU

      sterling-siggy-ramsey/alexis-fabregas/haz

    3. Limbo

      Yep + Hazard or Sanchez in 352.

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

        Nope.

    4. Woy of the Wovers

      Yes.
