Our Monday afternoon regular is rolled out once again, as we scour the Premier League treatment rooms to assess the players who picked up injuries over the weekend action.

Arsenal
Aaron Ramsey (hamstring), Mikel Arteta (calf) and Jack Wilshere (ankle) were all forced off during Saturday evening’s north London derby. After the match, Arsene Wenger admitted he was somewhat surprised by the Welshman’s withdrawal as central midfield concerns mount up:

“Wilshere, if you look at the incident again, has been tackled and turned his ankle over. Ramsey is a concern that he did his hamstring. I don’t understand because he had a good rest this week, I didn’t play him against Southampton on Tuesday night. It’s a surprise because he’s usually a resistant boy.”

Burnley
According to reports, Lukas Jutkiewicz appeared to pick up a knock in the 4-0 rout at Burnley before being replaced on 67 minutes.

Everton
Kevin Mirallas was stretchered off with a hamstring injury just half an hour into the weekend Merseyside derby. After the match, Roberto Martinez went on to day:

“It seems bad. It’s a hamstring. We’re going to assess him in the next 24 hours. Kevin has been in great form and we’ve got a lot of games coming up. It’s very unfortunate for us.”

Reports today, though, suggest Mirallas could be out for up to a month with the problem.

Man United
Ander Herrera limped out of United’s narrow win over West Ham after sustaining a back problem.

QPR
Sandro was forced off early during the first-half of the R’s defeat at St Mary’s after a clash of heads with Sadio Mane.

Southampton
Florin Gardos missed the weekend win over QPR with a slight calf strain, according to the club’s official Twitter feed.

Tottenham
Goalscorer Nacer Chadli and left-back Danny Rose both limped off with injuries during the north London derby, according to the Tottenham official match report.

West Brom
Baggies left-back Sebastian Pocognoli was subbed off in the latter stages of yesterday’s 4-0 win over Burnley through injury.

West Ham
Mark Noble missed out on the weekend defeat at Old Trafford after picking up a calf injury in training the day before.

    Any changes required. Or should i just roll that tranny over for the international break?

    Mannone [Hamer]
    Duff Wilson Moore [Bertrand Chambers]
    Fabregas Sterling Sigurdsson Di María [Hammond]
    Aguero Pelle Costa

    1. Whazza

      I would save FT.

    2. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      I would play Bertrand over duff.

  2. Walsh

    Just realized there is an early game tomorrow for UCL so we won't have lineups before being able to make transfers. Eek.

    1. Whazza
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Damn, we need to scout then 😀

      1. Walsh
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Combing through whoscored now 🙂 Trying to figure out what to do...seeing Zlatan is out, glad I didn't draft him in.

        1. Whazza
          • 13 Years
          11 years, 6 months ago

          He is!? Crikey. Have you found anything else of interest?

          1. Walsh
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 6 months ago

            Nothing yet.

            1. Whazza
              • 13 Years
              11 years, 6 months ago

              Okay, who do you reckon is the best Ibra replacement? I have Ronaldo and Messi already. Lewandowski?

              1. Walsh
                • 12 Years
                11 years, 6 months ago

                Yeah I would definitely punt on Lewa for this GW. Great matchup, probably would captain him over Messi day one as well if I had him.

                1. Whazza
                  • 13 Years

  3. keotes

    1. Whazza

    • 11 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Couldn't get tickets to Chelsea - Arsenal, so Spurs - Southampton it is! Hoping for a good game, will be watching my boys Clyne and Bertrand! (not sure if I'll play them though...) 😀

    Also going to the Aston Villa game on saturday watching my captain (possibly) Aguero 😉

    Is this site safe to give FPL team details for price change data purposes ?

    Do Scouts want their typos pointed out in articles or do they see it as nit picking and will look to ban that particular member at the earliest opportunity?

    1. JK - Cønt â­
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      depends on the member 😉

        11 years, 6 months ago

        My bad in not realising Sakho missed the start of the season....

        Goal threat looks different....

        Close call.

          filter by just the last 2 matches.

      2. Epic Fail

        I best keep quiet then. 😀

  8. jai1212

    Begovic - Heaton
    Rojo - Clyne - Duff - Wisdom - Chambers
    Sterling - Sigurdsson - Boyd - ADM - Mirallas
    Costa - Pelle - Aguero

    Planned two transfers -
    Mirallas >> Mane
    Rojo >> Zabaleta/Kompany

    Any suggestions?

  9. Whazza

    Too early for Sturridge? Tasty fixtures for Liverpool.
    I read he was doing sprints and jumping in training on Sunday so he should be fit now.

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      If wait either for him to make his first appearance or for Rodgers to blatantly say he's starting.

      1. Whazza
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        The thing is I can only afford him tonight, since Rooney is dropping. He is running in training so I'm almost certain he will play next gw. It's just the risk of him getting some minutes in CL and injuring himself again, but I guess I will have to live with that 😀

        1. Wave of Mutilation
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 6 months ago

          Placeholder transfer to Ulloa/Sakho to tide you over until Sturridge is more certain?

  10. boyler
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    if u hadn't owned siggy all season would u get him in for ramsey ? cant really think of a better option

    1. Epic Fail
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Tadic

      1. RetroMetro
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        This

    2. Sess!
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Mane

  11. JK - Cønt â­
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Balotelli

    1 goal from his last 63 shots in the PL

    He's due then 😛

    1. Spike âš½ï¸
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      It might take another 63 shots tho 😉

      1. JK - Cønt â­
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        I don't have him 😉

        1. Spike âš½ï¸
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 6 months ago

          I don't either 🙂

    2. jai1212
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      I think he'll start scoring once Sturridge comes back.

    3. RetroMetro
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Fearing another "due" outbreak any moment!

      1. JK - Cønt â­
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        what due mean? 😉

        1. RetroMetro
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 6 months ago

          OH NO! 😀

    4. Mahesh_Kumar
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Never liked him. Always looks dangerous but too careless at final touch

    5. Tim Canterbury
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      I don't understand why poeple reacted angrily to all the poor Balotelli stats. Owners I assume suddenly realising they had invested badly. Noticed the HOF rank 1 manager brought him in as then sold him within 2 weeks for Pelle. Smart move

  12. Liastro â­ï¸
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Best replacements for Ramsey and Rooney with 0.5m in the bank and a midfield/forward line of...

    Sterling Fabregas Siggy Marney
    Costa Pelle

    1. JK - Cønt â­
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      Tadic and Aguero work?

      Aguero and Tadic

    3. Woy

    If Krul starts tonight would you swap out Lloris 4 pointer for him in Ufpl?

    1. Spike âš½ï¸
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Depends on your situation. I've got the same keepers and I'm sticking

          • 14 Years

          I've done Nasmith to Shawcross

    2. RetroMetro
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      I wouldn't personally.

    2. jai1212
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      I think its time for downgrading Ivanovic to a city defender and Balotelli to Aguero

  15. Mahesh_Kumar
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Confirmed. Ramsey out for 6 weeks

    1. Spike âš½ï¸
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      1 month according to Talk Sport !

      1. Sess!
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Graeme bailey reporting 6 weeks on twitter.

        1. Spike âš½ï¸
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 6 months ago

          OK. Durham just stated 1 month again. Not good either way

    2. jai1212
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      I am feeling happy for all the people who own him. Atleast they got a reason to downgrade him to someone else xP

      Don't think you can afford that team, even if you caught all the price rises??

  17. Winston.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    My forwards are Costa, Welbeck and Pelle.

    Wanna get Aguero (or Dzeko), but not sure who to drop.

    Would you do..

    A. Welbeck to Aguero
    B. Pelle to Aguero
    C. Save FT

    Thanks!

    So Ramsey out for 6 weeks......added to the Rooney red, should see plenty of wildcards activated.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years

      Or just -4s.

      1. Sess!
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Not as much flair.

        1. TorresMagic™

          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          11 years, 6 months ago

          Costa injured would change FPL.

          1. Sess!
            • 15 Years
            11 years, 6 months ago

            There's no way he'll last the season without at least one substantial hamstring injury.

          2. RetroMetro
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 6 months ago

            I'd never wish injury on a player but this would REALLY shake things up.

    2. RetroMetro
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      The longer I hold my wildcard the more I feel I've missed the best time to use it :S

      1. Woy
        • 12 Years

        And me.

    Anyone tempted by Lukaku?

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years

      Got so excited that I brought him last week *facepalm*

      1. Toonzie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years

        i believe he will come good be patient

        fixtures coming his way bar the europa

        1. Holmes
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 6 months ago

          Hopefully he isn't much used in UEL 🙂

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years

          I bought him 6 times last season, 6 fecking times, think only got returns from him once.

    3. jai1212
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Yess. I'm planning to buy him and an Everton defender in coming weeks

      1. Toonzie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        i might get him as my rooney replacement

        him or sturridge

        1. jai1212
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 6 months ago

          One thing that is attracting me is there is no better attacking option than Lukaku. Eto, no. Mirallas, injured. Naismith, not reliable. Kone, will be rotated for Euro games. All the midfielders have creative style of play which will give Lukaku many chances to score specially with upcoming fixtures

    4. Gooner97
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Tempted for what?
      For an assist?

    5. Winston.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      No

      Lukapoo

  20. JK - Cønt â­
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years

    If every single striker in the PL bar Lukaku got injured I'd just play without a striker

      5-5-0 isn't allowed 😛

      1. JK - Cønt â­
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        I'd just leave mu injured strikers there with no points, more fecking use than Lukaku

        1. Holmes
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 6 months ago

          I would rather get Zamora over MU strikers 😆

      I agree 100% with this sentiment. He's an FPL nightmare due to his sporadic and unpredictable returns and on top of that he's not that good in real life so he's irritating to watch if he's in your team. Just a huge no-go area for me.

      I would bite the bullet and do a -4 at least. Rooney -> Aguero and Ramsey -> Taidc. Assuming neither Evans or Monreal play, you should definitely replace one of them as other wise you will be 2 at that back as Bruce doesn't play.

    Rooney to (I have pelle and costa)

    A) Lukaku
    B) Sturridge
    C) Falcao
    D) Ulload
    E) Others under 11.5m

    1. Whattheheck!
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      If Sturridge is confirmed fit I would say B or else I would probably do C.

        thanks 😉

        yea if sturridge starts in the champs league i might go for him

      I'd give Ulloa a go

    3. Edmond

      What about Kun?

      1. Toonzie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        cant afford him unless i take a hit

      Hopefully he doesn't play, although seeing as virtually everyone has him doesn't really make much difference what happens.

    2. kraftwerker

      Wrap him in cotton wool Jose.

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        And bubble wrap and put him in a zero gravity chamber.

    3. Punty
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      I bought him on sunday after selling him in gwk 2 or 3, so makes sense if he actually gets injured now

      Who's that?

      1. Andrew
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        Ug Bug

  24. Edmond
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 6 months ago

    Lads, for a -4 (only way I can afford both Cesc and Tadic)

    Ramsey + Eriksen + Collocini -> Fabregas + Tadic + 4.0m DEF

    Yay or Nay?

    1. Whazza
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      I like it

      1. Whattheheck!
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        I don't - i would just do Ramsey -> Tadic and save your FT

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      The more people that take hits the better it is for me so go for it.
      Can you not just do Ramsey to Tadic for now?

      1. Edmond
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        You don't reckon Fabregas is a must have?

    3. Punty
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Eriksen has similar stats as Chadli while also being on set-pieces, might come good

      1. Edmond
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        I wish I can be that optimistic ðŸ™

        Eriksen looked really disappointing in the game against Arsenal imo, been persevering with him since GW1. Having said that, I don't really rate Chadli that much either. Really not sure what to do..

  25. jhill89

    take a 4 point hit to replace Ramsey or play Hendo vs West Brom?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Come on.

    2. Woy
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Hendo

  26. Rupert The Horse
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    I'm worried about tonight, usually when Cisse starts scoring he goes on a run.
    Come on Wilson, repay the faith, don't let that smug Wisdom wink at me from the bench.

    1. Spike âš½ï¸
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 6 months ago

      Don't think he will start

      1. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        He didn't start the last game and got a brace.

  27. Spike âš½ï¸
    • 14 Years

    Great to see Benteke back and scoring in the AV under 21s. He'll be raring to get back to PL football

    1. JK - Cønt â­

      watchlisted for Jan wc.

      1. Spike âš½ï¸
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 6 months ago

        I reckon he is worth getting from GW10

        1. Punty
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 6 months ago

          He's a bit expensive though.. got to prove himself in 1-2 games before it's worth the risk

  28. Woy

    I hope when I finally use my WC it's down to personal choice on a DGW obvious fixtures and I get 200+ points and not down to crappy injuries or a bit of pressure induced knee-jerking
