With a quick turnaround in fixtures, we take time out to assess the Premier League treatment rooms this evening and cast an eye over those players who picked up injuries over Saturday and Sunday’s fixtures.

Arsenal
Arsene Wenger’s injury troubles continue to mount as he lost both his left-backs to problems in the 1-0 win at West Brom. Nacho Monreal picked up an ankle knock before his replacement, Kieran Gibbs, suffered yet another issue. Wenger gave us an update on that pair, post-match, whilst also revealing that Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has concerns over a knee injury ahead of the visit of Southampton on Wednesday…

“Gibbs struggled a little bit with an ankle problem and Monreal with a knee problem. Oxlade-Chamberlain also had a knee problem.”

Aston Villa
Paul Lambert’s defensive worries continued at the weekend. With Ron Vlaar, Philippe Senderos and Nathan Baker already sidelined through injury, the Villa boss is sweating on the fitness of Ciaran Clark after the centre-half was forced off during injury time of yesterday’s draw at Burnley.

Crystal Palace
Dwight Gayle was withdrawn just 21 minutes into the weekend draw at Swansea with a leg injury, though other sources also state he’s sustained a back problem. Gayle can be considered a doubt for Tuesday’s home clash with Villa, having started the last two league outings.

Hull City
Robbie Brady was replaced on 75 minutes of the Tigers’ loss at Old Trafford having sustained a knock, according to match reports.

Manchester City
City are sweating on the fitness of skipper Vincent Kompany after the defender suffered a hamstring injury in this afternoon’s win at Southampton. Post-match, Manuel Pellegrini – who also has Eliaquim Mangala suspended for the midweek trip to Sunderland – went on to say:

“We cannot know the situation at the moment. He has a problem with his hamstring. We will see with the doctor how important it is but at this moment, I cannot tell you exactly what he has. We will see.”

Man United
Angel Di Maria is almost certain to miss tomorrow’s home encounter with Stoke after being forced off just 13 minutes into the win over Hull with his own hamstring injury. Wayne Rooney is also nursing a calf complaint ahead of the Potters clash, though Louis van Gaal is a little more optimistic on his captain’s chances of being available:

“Angel shall be out for Stoke, I think. Wayne, I don’t know. He has already told me he wants to play against Stoke, but Rooney always says that. We will know in 48 hours..”

Newcastle United
The Magpies are sweating on the fitness of right-back Daryl Janmaat, who was forced off with a hamstring injury in the 1-0 loss at West Ham. Alan Pardew has also confirmed Rob Elliott will take his place between the sticks “for the next four or five games” due to Tim Krul’s ankle injury.

QPR
The R’s budget left-back Yun Suk-Young was replaced on 51 minutes of the 3-2 win over Leicester after sustaining a knee injury. Bobby Zamora missed out altogether with a slight back injury.

Southampton
Jack Cork was unavailable for today’s home loss to City due to illness, whilst Morgan Schneiderlin was forced off after sustaining a leg injury. After the match, Ronald Koeman rolled out an update on the midfield pair ahead of the midweek trip to Arsenal:

“He [Morgan] had an injury in his upper right leg, we have to wait, maybe we will know tomorrow [Monday] about if he will be okay for Wednesday. Jack I hope will be back, we need the players.”

Stoke City
Mark Hughes also has worries in central midfield ahead of the trip to Old Trafford. Steve Sidwell was withdrawn during the first half of yesterday’s loss at Liverpool with a knee problem, whilst replacement Glenn Whelan was subbed off at the break with a calf complaint. After the match, the Potters boss was pessimistic on both players’ chances of making it in time for the trip to United:

“We’ve got a game on Tuesday and it’s highly unlikely either will be available. Whether it was because he didn’t have an opportunity to warm up prior to coming on I don’t know, but he (Whelan) has pulled his calf unfortunately.”

Tottenham Hotspur
Vlad Chiriches limped out of this afternoon’s home win over Everton and was replaced by Erik Dier midway through the second period. Kyle Naughton is back from suspension for Wednesday’s trip to Stamford Bridge so the Spurs right-back situation is a little cloudy to say the least.

West Brom
The Baggies left-back Sebastien Pocognoli was forced off with a leg problem towards the end of yesterday’s home loss to Arsenal. Alan Irvine rolled out an update after the match:

“Seb has a dead leg, we think. He and Chris Brunt slid in at the same time and it seems he came off worse. All we can do now is assess him and see how he is. Dead legs can be a problem because you never know how quickly they will settle down.”

    1. Sol
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 19 days ago

      Do it

    2. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 19 days ago

      Clichy in, good form and fixtures.

  2. FionnMac
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 19 days ago

    1FT and £0.5m in the bank. ADM, gotta go, but for who and do I take a hit to get upgrade Berahino/defender?

    Fabianski
    Wisdom Chambers Baines
    Sanchez Hazard Siggy ADM
    Aguero Bony Berahino

    Bench - Duff, Marney, Yun.

  3. Lizard Lips
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 19 days ago

    Fantasy Football Fix algorithm is turgid. Recommends Siggy then Cesc as captain picks over Kun.

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 19 days ago

      Look at the history of Sunderland vs Man City.

      1-0
      1-0
      1-0
      1-0

      FFF is probably right.

      1. Lizard Lips
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 19 days ago

        Previous results mean very little to me. If they were worth their salt we would all be in Las Vegas making millions!

    2. Randy_Marsh
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 19 days ago

      RMT on the scout is the best

      Don't use that garbage

    3. BeachBadger
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 19 days ago

      Sunderland seem to be CIty's bogey team

    4. Tangerine Army XI
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 19 days ago

      They also predict Cresswell will be the seventh highest scoring player over the next 5 weeks!

  4. dodger49
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 19 days ago

    Kane or Austin? Need a budget forward to free up funds

    1. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 19 days ago

      Austin

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 19 days ago

      Both, if one then austin

  5. Koflok
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 19 days ago

    Clyne -> Azpi (-4)?

    1. Lizard Lips
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 19 days ago

      Would if I could, 0.1 short here.

  6. Not Irish
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 19 days ago

    I can turn Boyd into Yaya. 😯

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 19 days ago

      How?

      You gonna paint him and shave his head?

      1. Not Irish
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 19 days ago

        It's on the transfers page. You click the little "X" to make Boyd go away and then click on Yaya and BANG! In my case the bank doesn't go red.

        1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 19 days ago

          Wow

          My bank goes red when I try that.

          1. Not Irish
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 19 days ago

            That's why I started a thread about it. I bet most banks do.

            Any useful thoughts?

      2. Randy_Marsh
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 19 days ago

        Boo

        1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 19 days ago

          I do hope that 'Boo' isn't a "That's racist"

          If he had said he could turn Downing into Yaya,

          And I said 'How?

          You gonna paint him and shave his head?'

          ....

          1. Not Irish
            • 12 Years
            11 years, 19 days ago

            It's OK. We'd have to do the same to turn him into Shelvey.

            1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS
              • 12 Years
              11 years, 19 days ago

              Indeed.

    2. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 19 days ago

      witchcraft!

      1. Not Irish
        • 12 Years

    Soldado...

    So shite.

    I'd be happy to bet that I'd get 1 goal in 6 months...

  8. The Blackadder
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Play Boydinho or transfer in Bartley for Moore and play him instead?

    1. bluetiger
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 19 days ago

      Boyd, Bartley will lose his place in a couple of weeks

  9. Randy_Marsh
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 19 days ago

    Sunderland will be fooked after the Chelsea game

    Kun is the only one capable of scoring 20+ points in the league

    Easy captain choice

    1. Gooner Kebab
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 19 days ago

    2. Somalion
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 19 days ago

      1. Randy_Marsh
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 19 days ago

        True freak results though

        1. Somalion
          • 15 Years
          11 years, 19 days ago

          Just saying 😉

            Sick defence for this gw

            1. Reedy
              • 15 Years
              11 years, 19 days ago

              Thanks! Maybe I will save...

  12. drughi
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 19 days ago

    Aguero has 4 games in 10 days, can see him getting some rest

    3 dec sunderland (a)

    6 dec everton (h)

    10 dec Roma ( a)

    13 dec Lei (a)

    1. Aaron Ramessi - Straya
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 19 days ago

      yeah, against roma 😉

      1. drughi
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 19 days ago

        no way

    2. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 19 days ago

      Yes he will. Unless Pell wants to injure him...Time to start taking him off on 60 mins again I fear.

    3. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 19 days ago

      Yeah, but it is most probably in the form of being subbed early. If he doesn't start against Everton, which is the likeliest match for him to start on bench because of the Roma match, I'm quite sure they will need him on field on the second half and climbing from bench Aguero typically doesn't need much time to deliver.

      1. Puyol Pants Up
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 19 days ago

        this.

  13. Reedy
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 19 days ago

    Pages are flying...sorry for repost. Any more opinions on this?

    .......................Foster
    Baines (V) Hutton Dummett Coleman
    .........Sanchez Jedinak Hazard
    ..........Ayoze Bony (C) Aguero

    Guzan: Mane, Boyd & Wisdom.

    1FT; 3.4m itb.

    Should I take a -4pt hit for any of the following (or do any of these over two weeks for 2 frees)?

    A) Mane & Ayoze -> Brady & Rooney
    B) Mane & Boyd -> Eriksen & Siggy/Barkley
    C) Mane & Boyd -> Fabregas & Mahrez/Brady

    Or should I save a transfer and defer the decision?

    1. Injury Prone o_O Gooner.

      Needs some Roo me thinks.

    Will Bony rise tonight?

    1. ACCOUNTING ON CHRIS

      If you touch it...

      1. Rupert The Horse

        • 12 Years

        You're thinking of pony. I love the youngens.

  16. Fader
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 19 days ago

    Okay so I can afford the following but with rubbish on the bench ...

    Foster
    Baines, Clyne, Chambers,
    Fabregas, Siggy, Sanchez, Wanyama
    Costa, Aguero, Rooney

    so this will be my aim for next few GWs

    1. Gooner Kebab
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 19 days ago

      wanyama with a rubbish bench?

      1. Fader
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 19 days ago

        Yep that lot with a bench of 4.0/3.9/3.9/4.4

    2. Injury Prone o_O Gooner.
      • 16 Years

      EEK!

    3. Reedy
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 19 days ago

      I'd dump Costa and improve the bench since you're too ashamed to post it 😉

      1. Fader
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 19 days ago

        lol, i havent got the team yet id rather rid of rooney than costa.

    4. Camp No No

      Looks awful.

    1. Camp No No
      • 12 Years

  17. Injury Prone o_O Gooner.
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 19 days ago

    Welcome to the new template.. *sigh*

    ADM >
    8.9 ITB for a replacement mid for the foreseeable?

    Eriksen Mata Oscar or a cheapie and beef up the defense next week?

    No idea on this one.
    I reckon Mata should get a run now could be a good time for him?
    Any thoughts?

    Flappy/4.0
    Berty Azp Chambers Duff Bruce
    Sanches Fab ADM Siggy Boyd
    Kun Rooney Austin

    1. jam
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 19 days ago

      I've gone with Oscar & Fabs and no Costa.
      Covered when Fabs gets suspended too that way.

    2. Sol
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 19 days ago

      i am thinking Oscar

      1. Injury Prone o_O Gooner.
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 19 days ago

        I have reservations on Oscar, cant really see him exploding. Maybe Mata has more potential?

  18. jam
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 19 days ago

    A: Mata or
    B: Eriksen
    for my ADM replacement? No other Utd players but have Kane (on bench)
    Ta!

    1. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 19 days ago

      B)

      Mata too much of a rotation risk

      1. Injury Prone o_O Gooner.
        • 16 Years
        11 years, 19 days ago

        Even with ADM out ya think?

  19. TorresMagic™

    • Has Moderation Rights
    • 16 Years
    11 years, 19 days ago

    Currently 33 is the safety score before hits in Last Man Standing.
    Might drop 1/2 after hits.

  20. Pringle
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 19 days ago

    If Schneiderlin is out vs Arsenal I am tempted to cap Sanchez. Southampton is voulnerable without him.

    1. Iwantmorepointsthanks
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 19 days ago

      good point.

      or do you reckon Welbeck / Giroud will benefit more?

    2. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 19 days ago

      cork will replace him and he's still good

      1. Camp No No
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 19 days ago

        Cork isn't half as good. Saints are screwed without Schneiderlin.

    3. Camp No No
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 19 days ago

      Good point.

  21. Weekend Seekers
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 19 days ago

    Yun out ??

    Have ADM and Costa too............

    Any suggestions ?

    1. Mulla
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 19 days ago

      Have we news on Yun yet though ?

      Depends on rest of your team, plenty of options if you decide to ditch those two!!

          Eriksen...Never liked Chadli, and I don't even know why...I need the funds as well...

          Still trying to decide. I'm either going to play safe and get in Jedinak for free, or go big and get rid of Costa to afford someone like Yaya or Sanchez

      Reckon he'll probably start on Tuesday. Though a little worried that Spurs win may see him benched again

    Anybody looking to get Welbeck in?
    Good fixtures and good form, good value.

      Giroud back spells trouble.

      Hmm. I can actually afford, Costa and Chadli out, Welbeck and Sanchez in....

    Brad Friedel said Harry Kane is one of the best finishers he has seen

      What about Baines? Worst delivery on the planet?

      Harry Kane is very good.

      I like him

      Really good player...We'll be laughing, or crying, next season that we could have bought him for less than 5.0 this year...

      Talented for sure, will develop into a decent PL player
