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Laurent Koscielny was withdrawn midway through the first-half of yesterday’s trip to Leicester after sustaining a head injury.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 Fellow forward Dwight Gayle was also withdrawn at St James’ Park after sustaining an ankle knock but is expected to be fit in time for Gameweek 4.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Similar to Chelsea’s Hazard, Romelu Lukaku has also withdrawn from international duties for Belgium due to a small injury.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 Louis van Gaal has since stated the Spaniard was withdrawn due to cramp.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Newcastle right-back Daryl Janmaat was withdrawn with just three minutes left of Saturday’s clash against Palace after picking up a knock.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Danny Rose was withdrawn midway through the second-half of yesterday’s home loss to Liverpool with a leg problem.

    So I have the funds to do Debuchy->Ivanovic, but am really leaning more towards Moreno. Please talk me out of this crazy idea!

    Here's my reasoning: Chelsea have so far played bur (3-1), LEI (3-0) and eve (6-3). That's 1 CS and 4 goals conceded against pretty soft competition to be honest. Liverpool have played SOU (2-1), mci (1-3) and tot (3-0). 1 CS and 4 goals conceded against 3 in form teams of pretty high caliber.
    Chelseas next 4 are: SWA, mci, AVL, ARS. Swansea is THE in-form team atm and while I think Chelsea will win at the bridge I could very well see Swansea scoring as they have in every match before this (2,33 goals/game). City away is one of the toughest games of the season for Chelsea. AVL is of course a great fixture. Arsenal at home is kind of like the Swansea game, expect Chelsea to win comfortably, but I would not be very surprised to see an Arsenal goal in there somewhere.
    The main concern though is that I feel like Mourinho will play much more defensively against these tougher teams to not be punished on the break, and so far offense has been Ivanovics strongest weapon. Of course he will still be threatening on corners and with Costa in the middle his crosses will be deadly, but I still expect his PPG to decrease a lot now.
    Liverpool on the other hand are set up for some favourable fixtures, their next 4 are: AVL, whu, EVE, WBA (with qpr, HUL, new to follow that).
    Liverpool are known to be shaky at the back, but this year half or more of their backline has been upgraded, they should only get stronger the better they gel together. And with the diamond formation back in action, it falls upon the full-backs to go forward out wide, something Moreno seems to like as he has looked very aggressive these last 2 games. In fact his PPG is not that far behind Ivanovics (7,5 to 9,5) over the two matches he has played and that was City away and Spurs away!
    However Ivanovic will probably rise at least 0,2 over the international break so might be harder to get him in later (though if he only rises to 7,2 I'll still be able to afford him).

    So again: dissect my crazy theories and bring me back to my senses please!! 😀

      tl,dr.

      Ivanovic is the best defender (if not player) in the game right now. Moreno is also a very good pick, as is Debuchy.

      I generally agree with your reasoning, and still thank that, in the long run, Ivanovic won't keep getting attacking returns, and Moreno looks a good prospect. Also, Liverpool look more solid with Lovren at the back. However, in the long run, Chelsea under Mourinho will keep more clean sheets than anyone else, and a chelsea defender is just about the most dependable source of defensive points in the game.

    Finally Wolves have sold Doyle! That gives money in January to get into the premier league and for Bakary Sako, Ikeme and Van le Parra to be in my fantasy team next year.

    I have no idea how Mata, Rooney, RVP, Di Maria and Falcao can fit into the same team though.

    Blind is a great signing though.

    Rumours are that Arsenal are tying to sign the purple dildo to give them more penetration up front. #transferdildoday

        Disagree from a fantasy perspective if Welbeck nails down the starting role in Giroud's absence!
