As always on a Monday afternoon, we scour the Premier League treatment rooms to assess the players who picked up injuries over the weekend action.

Arsenal
Mathieu Debuchy was forced off with an ankle injury in Saturday lunchtime’s draw with City. Arsene Wenger is set to address the press later today amid fears the Frenchman could be sidelined for months.

Burnley
The Clarets’ forward Danny Ings was subbed off with a hamstring problem in the weekend draw at Palace, while Matty Taylor missed out altogether due to injury, allowing George Boyd to make his debut on the left of midfield.

Chelsea
Didier Drogba missed the Blues’ home win over Swansea after injuring an ankle during training.

Crystal Palace
Neil Warnock confirmed Joe Ledley sustained a hip injury in the Palace dugout and was unable to take to the field against Burnley. The Palace boss also revealed Wilfried Zaha was lucky to make the match after picking up an ankle injury in training.

Everton
Sylvain Distin missed the Toffees’ win at West Brom due to a dead leg, though Roberto Martinez confirmed earlier today that the defender is on course to feature against Wolfsburg in the Europa League on Thursday.

Leicester
Foxes number one Kasper Schmeichel missed Saturday’s win at Stoke after sustaining a minor knee problem on international duty with Denmark.

Stoke
The Potters’ left-back Erik Pieters was forced off with an unspecified injury in the latter stages of Saturday’s home loss to Leicester.

Swansea
Jordi Amat is set for knee scans after picking up a problem in the weekend loss to Chelsea – the defender left Stamford Brigde with his leg in a brace.

Tottenham
Jan Vertonghen was omitted from the weekend trip to Sunderland after picking up a minor muscle injury.

West Brom
Stephane Sessegnon was ruled out of the weekend home loss to Everton after sustaining an eye injury in training.

    Any reason not to double up on Southampton defence? Their fixtures are nothing but juicy.

      I think Swansea will score this week

      After swansea, yes

      1. BigManBakar

    Defender for around 5.4 other than Clyne/Bertrand?

    1. Wheato182
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Dier

    2. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years

      Rafael

    Any fellow Jelly owners looking forward to todays game?:p

      Yep- hoping the new look midfield will put it on a plate for Jelly!

    UCL

    I should sacrifice Fabregas and Kagawa to afford Bale? Right?

    1. pundit of punts
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Kagawa and Fab in my team.

      Not getting Bale. More balanced that way.

    2. Walsh
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Meh. I went with James instead of Bale. Fine with it - tough to have a 12 million player in the budget who you will never captain.

  5. Game of Stones
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Probably doesn't interest people that much, but how's this for a UCL team?

    Moya
    Chedjou - Jedvaj - Alaba
    Raul Garcia - Sterling - Bellarabi - Fabregas
    Ronaldo - Ibrahimovic - Lewandowski

    Soroko Mbemba - Uchida - Do Nascimento

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Needs messi

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      and bale

    3. Parm
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Anyone to Messi.

      This is Messi's year, you watch.

      1. Game of Stones
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        I've got 1.0 ITB, so Lewan > Messi then?

    4. Give The Todd Some Love
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Imo there are better 4.0 defenders than Jedvaj i.e. moreno

      1. Game of Stones
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Not too sure about Moreno anymore - Jedvaj was amazing this weekend as well though!

        1. Give The Todd Some Love
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          I just don't think Bayer are that tight at the back

          1. Walsh
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            But Liverpool are?

            1. Give The Todd Some Love
              • 14 Years
              11 years, 5 months ago

              Much easier group, other than Real off

              1. Give The Todd Some Love
                • 14 Years
                11 years, 5 months ago

                *ofc

          2. Game of Stones
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            Got Moreno for Uchida as he doesn't seem to be a starter

            1. Give The Todd Some Love
              • 14 Years
              11 years, 5 months ago

              Isn't he? Shit. I'll have to get Jedvaj 😆

              1. Game of Stones
                • 11 Years
                11 years, 5 months ago

                I'm not sure, but he hasn't started any of Schalke's games this season, doesn't look like he's on the bench either, so might be injured, not sure...

      2. Game of Stones
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        What are his chances of starting though? Might swap him with Chedjou

  6. Gooner97

    UCL

    Di Maria or Falcao?

    1. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

      Thanks lads 🙂

    5. Kerz
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Not captaining Baines? 😀

    6. Shifty
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Yea, nothing worth a hit there.

    7. Rolls-Royce
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Wow Gr8 team! my team has only 3 different players to yours tho!

    8. Concrete
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Good team I don't like Chester though.. Shackell, Robertson, PVA for me

  9. Wheato182
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Good to go this week guys?

    Mannone

    Moreno - Dier - Wilson

    Di Maria (C) - Siggy - Fabregas - Tadic - Sterling

    Falcao - Costa (VC)

    Bench - Krul - Vaz Te - Chester - Wisdom.

    1. Wheato182
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Anyone?

    2. Ludo
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Yep. Mannone/Krul and Chester/Wilson are both tricky calls... think you probably have it right in both cases though. Would rather captain Sterling than ADM, but I understand your choice.

      1. Wheato182
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks - you're right on paper it would be Krul in goal but Newcastle look clueless at the moment so it has to be Mannone for now.

    3. Chambo
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Looks good, maybe Chester 1st sub? >.

      1. Wheato182
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Good call, think Hull could get a shut out.

    4. BigManBakar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Looks good, I'm assuming you've made your transfer already? Good captain pick

      1. Wheato182
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks,

        Yeah, downgraded Balotelli (cue brace) to get Di Maria in.

        1. BigManBakar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Nah Balo looks disinterested, won't be worth the price people are paying for him..Nice move!

  10. Tallahassee
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Feel like I should do dzeko > pelle, but am not convinced by pelle. Can anyone convince me?

    1. Wheato182
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Look at his form?

    2. sambyy
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      He is more handsome than Dzeko.

    3. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      No, he's shite. 😉

    4. BigManBakar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      -I was telling and screaming my lungs out all week to convince the community to get him
      -The majority didn't get him
      -I captained him,and he rewarded me with a 26 point haul
      -I then shouted 'In your face beetches' to all those who told me he was a poor man's Giroud
      -Now I'm telling you to get him
      -And you aren't getting him...

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        One free header, and another from the worst shot all weekend going to Tadic to then get an open goal. He won't play a drunk Newcastle every week! 😉

        1. BigManBakar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          The reason I was recommending was his stats, and the fact that he had some awesome fixtures to follow. Newcastle at home was always going to be tasty, now he faces qpr at home in one week's time in what could be a blood bath. It doesn't matter that he isn't the most flashiest of players that you'd go and pay to watch, the fact is that he is a battering ram who loves to score goals and that is exactly what you want in this game,especially at that price

    FWIW.

    Once again, the oh-so-knowledgeable MUN funs seem to be missing a gem right beneath their stuck-up noses. 😉

    That Blackett - he's playing up a storm.

      Not this one. 😀

        Fair enough, Muppet. 🙂

      Hey Doos, that's for a reason.

      Take a look at LvG's reaction here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYSXTlFxo4w#t=165

      1. Not Irish

        Could just be taking pressure off the kid, mind.

        Perhaps he is the most stuck-up of all ...

    3. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I like him and he's done well but I query his game time when Shaw, Jones and Smalling are all fit

      Very tempted but I picked DDG for security of starts. If you look at our errors leading to chance stat, then errors leading to goal stat

      that can't continue

      1. Not Irish
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        That's all Evans and the wing backs.

        1. JK - Cønt ⭐
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          we'll see. Something has to give either way

          either we'll start leaking goals or we'll cut them out

          1. Not Irish
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 5 months ago

            Good things to come. We were playing Ashley Young as a LWB, FFS.

            1. JK - Cønt ⭐
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 14 Years
              11 years, 5 months ago

              I think we'll be playing a back 4 more often now

              I have DDG anyway, security of starts

              1. Not Irish
                • 12 Years
                11 years, 5 months ago

                He's a good pick no doubt. I sold Blackett last week on my WC for Moreno and regret it already. Was the logical thing to do I suppose. Only Rojo looks to be properly nailed without the lingering fitness issues.

                Still, I miss my Blackett. 🙁

  12. rdamjan
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    Foster, Krul
    PVA, Dier, N.taylor, Clyne, Janmaat
    Siggy, Ramsey, Mata, Fabregas, Sterling
    Rooney, Welbz, Etoo

    Thinking about Chambers in and Dier or Taylor out... or its better change Sterling for ADM or Silva? Or Etoo for??

    1ft and 1.1 itb.

    Tnx

    Rooney or Aguero?

      • 15 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      would love to know answer to this - I'm currently on Aguero over Rooney - but the Man U fixtures are tempting

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Overrated, card magnet, injury prone, no thanks.

    3. Les Bleus
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      This. And he loves to get forward.

      People will say he's too injury prone but I say ride him while he plays

    4. BigManBakar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      He'll be injured soon I'm afraid

    UCL-

    A. Kagawa+Cahill+Ogbonna
    B. J Rod+Moreno+Toprak

    1. Give The Todd Some Love
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      A

      Not sure if I prefer Ogbonna to Danilo

      1. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Danilo is a good shout.

    Enough Is Enough!

    Baines is in my team

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I want him too

    2. BigManBakar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Nice move, imo.

      1. Scab
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        It was your hundreds of posts on baines that did the trick

        1. BigManBakar
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          I was going on about Pelle last week too, maybe a sign of things to come 😉

  21. Sounders
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 5 months ago

    had a good game week after a shaky few. I have 2.7 in the bank. Should I save my FT? Or make an upgrade? I was planning to use that money for Falkao but now i'm not so sure. Regardless it would be tap into MUFC, MCFC (would have to -4 for Aguero) or Southampton, with Naismith being the obvious casualty. Any help appreciated.

    Krul
    Baines, Ivan, Bertrand, (Moore, Wisdom)
    Rambo, Siggy, Fab, Sterling (King)
    Costa, Adebayor, Naismith

  22. Scab

    Now on to the other part of my team

    A) Rooney + Chadli

    B) Ramsey + Pelle

    I wouldn't mind playing this UCL fantasy. But can't see myself getting up for it, especially living in Australia. Sigh.

      I never enjoy it. The site is unreliable and I'm not a fan of the format when the knock-out stages approach.

        What is the format? Surely everybody would have about 4 players playing come the semis.

          You get more money after the group stages and the players-per-team cap increases: http://m.en.uclfantasy.uefa.com/UEFA/15813/clienthowtoplay.do

    Hazard owners - use a transfer to get Cesc or hold until wildcard in a couple of weeks?

      want to do it, but unlikely to happen this week

      im sticking with haz.. no point in using a transfer between two chelsea players ahead of clash against city. just my opinion ofc 🙂

    How's this UCL team then?

    Moya
    Jedvaj - Moreno - Alaba
    Raul Garcia - Sterling - Bellarabi - Fabregas
    Ronaldo - Ibrahimovic - Messi

    Only problem is who to captain? :S

      I assume you've no bench. Would prefer some bench options in this format.

      1. Game of Stones
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Bench: Soroko Mbemba - Chedjou - Do Nascimento

    2. Chambo

      Ronaldo (c), if he fails then switch to Messi as Barca play Wednesday and Madrid Tuesday

      1. Game of Stones
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 5 months ago

        Wut? Is that possible?

        1. Chambo
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 5 months ago

          Yes, atleast it was last season. Allways captain someone who's playing Tuesday so you have change to switch for someone playing Wednesday.

      Bench: Soroko Mbemba - Chedjou - Do Nascimento

    Thinking of Terry out for Rafael this week. Seem decent?

    1. FPL Touches
      • 14 Years

      Evans for security of starts?

      1. JK - Cønt ⭐

        11 years, 5 months ago

        😆

    2. Game of Stones
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Risky imo

    Just a quick poll: Baines owners, are you planning on captaining him this week?

    1. BigManBakar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      Never bench,never captain is the golden rule with Baines

    2. SneakyPete
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 5 months ago

      I have captained him many times with success. Particularly when he got braces against West ham and West Brom

    3. Ohhhhh Gary Macca!
      • 11 Years

      Very tempted.

    Lineup OK for next week? Not entirely sold on who I'm benching...

    Krul
    Chester - Lovren - Cahill
    Ramsey - Sterling - Eriksen(c) - Sig
    Costa - Roo - Welbz

    Elliot - Bertrand - Moore - Isgrove

    I guess everyone's eagerly awaiting Hull's team news? Chester watch.

      Could do with him not playing
