Injuries

The Treatment Table – Gameweek 26

We cast an eye over the new injuries sustained during the weekend’s ten fixtures this evening. Problems mount for Palace up front, Newcastle’s concerns continue, whilst United’s misfiring Dutchman is set for ankle scans after Saturday’s loss at Swansea.

Aston Villa
Kieran Richardson was forced off during the first half of Saturday’s home loss to Stoke due to injury.

Crystal Palace
Fraizer Campbell was withdrawn during the Eagles’ home loss to Arsenal after picking up a hamstring problem. Marouane Chamakh failed to feature against his former club due to a similar complaint.

Liverpool
Mamadou Sakho missed today’s clash with Southampton due to a hip problem, the Reds’ official twitter feed has confirmed.

Man United
The Red Devils are sweating over the fitness of Robin van Persie after the Dutchman left the Liberty Stadium on crutches after sustaining an ankle injury Saturday’s 2-1 defeat to Swansea. United are expected to know results of scans on the Dutchman by some point tomorrow.

Newcastle
Daryl Janmaat limped off with a groin problem during the Magpies’ 5-0 hammering at the Etihad on Saturday evening. Manager John Carver confirmed:

“He has got a tight groin. I don’t think he’s too serious at the moment, but it is tight and we took him off as a precaution.”

QPR
Niko Krancjar limped out of the R’s narrow loss at Hull on Saturday and was replaced by Armand Traore on 78 minutes.

Southampton
Steven Davis was replaced at the break during the Saints’ home encounter against Liverpool after picking up a knock.

Sunderland
Billy Jones missed the Black Cats’ goalless draw with West Brom due to injury.

Stoke
Erik Pieters was replaced with five minutes remaining of the weekend win at Villa due to injury.

West Ham
Carlton Cole was forced off due to injury during the Hammers’ draw at Spurs this afternoon.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Who's a bigger priority to shift for this GW:

    A) JWP
    B) PVA

    WC on Gw28 is tempting. Not just because of a dgw, but most top teams have good fixtures. Also many top teams have exited the FA Cup so less chance of any major teams having dgws. Good idea or wait?

    Current Team

    Foster Myhill
    Bellerin PvA Hutton Bertrand Skrtel
    Hazard Sanchez AdM Johnson Puncheon
    Aguero Giroud Kane

    2FT, 1.1m

    Thanks.

    1. Nabs Kebabs
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      You have 2ft and a solid team. Not sure you need to use your wc.

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Alternate plan;

        Johnson>Mane this week.
        Giroud+Puncheon>>Austin+Eriksen(for free)?

        1. Nabs Kebabs
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Only if Bellerin looks like playing. otherwise you have to sort ouy your defence and keep AJ

          1. EmreCan Hustle
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            Hmm...cheer FG!

      GW34 could be a big one.

      1. EmreCan Hustle
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Cheers. Will wait for UCL news.

      2. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years

        This. Perfect GW to ditch your WBA asset(s) too. Sorry Jafa.

        1. EmreCan Hustle
          • 11 Years

    3. Shifty
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I'd say wait. Don't bust it yet. Can easily get a top team in GW28 with enough DGW coverage as long as 2 FTs are used wisely.

  4. Rhinos
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    My defence in tatters this week

    Ivanovic Kolarov PVA Bellerin Haidara

    Haidara could well be the only starter, plan had been Kolarov to Lescott but not sure now. Thoughts?
    No money so the cheapies hard to replace

    1. Nabs Kebabs
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      1 or 2 ft?

      1. Rhinos
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        2 but the plan was to save to get Eriksen Austin next week

        1. Nabs Kebabs
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Definitely do Kolarov to Lescott i think. Then if Bellerin doesnt look likely to start i would use the other one too. Remember hits are effectively -2 rather than -4 with the blanks.

          1. Rhinos
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            It's just the lack of good looking alternatives at thst price range, will prob save and hope Bellerin plays. Wasn't expecting much from PVA this week anyway

    2. mikess
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Ouch. Kolorov has to go imo

      1. Rhinos
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah was a short term wc punt which has gone ok to be fair. Was always intending to get rid this week bit PVA Bellerin have put a spanner in works. Plus Kolarov a hard drug to kick especially as Leics at home soon 🙂

        1. HVT
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Fwiw Rhino I think Bellerin should start, he had a slight injury and Chambers is Kak.

  5. Tomeister
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    I'm surprised no one thinks Spurs will make champions league.
    They're playing just as well as Liverpool at the moment (evidenced by theyre worthy defeat at an field)
    Will be out of the Europa soon so won't have hangovers to worry about
    Arsenal scraped past liecester and palace, they will slip up soon,
    United are dreadful,
    And it was clear from southamptons game yesterday that they are running out of energy.
    As well as that, Spurs have the easiest fixtures left

    1. internal error
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Arsenal scrapped past leicester and palace..spurs needed a last min penalty to draw at home to west ham and lost to palace. Spurs might not get knocked out of europe soon

    2. toaster

      The Capital One Cup will ruin their season.

  6. Holmes
    • 10 Years

    Best forward and midfielder for this week? 🙂

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Santi and Gru

      😆

      1. JariL

        😀

      2. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Not sure what I was thinking while taking them out. Greed leads to heavy loss 😡

      3. Rhinos
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        That it's not Wayne Rooney is a stain on LVG

      sanchez, cisse

    1. Buck The Trent

      9 years, 3 months ago

      yeah

  8. King Kohli
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Foster
    PVA* | Clyne | Bellerin* | Naughton
    Silva | Cazorla | Walters| Sanchez
    Aguero | Defoe

    Krul | Terry | Kane | Hazard

    0.1 ITB 2 FT

    1. Best PVA replacement?
    2. How to fit in Eriksen next week?

    1. RSe
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I'm tempted with Dawson

      1. King Kohli
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        So am I but sadly 0.1 short of getting him for PVA.

    2. Nabs Kebabs
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Haidara
      Cazorla or Silva.

  9. RSe
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Planning on Erikson, Kane and Austin for DGW. Is Rose worth the -4?

    1. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Nope

    2. Rhinos
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      God no

    3. Nabs Kebabs
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Possibly, current defence? And who would be making way for Rose?

      1. RSe
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Ivan Clyne Bellerin Wolls PVA* swapping this week.

        Was thinking Wolls

        1. Nabs Kebabs
          • 12 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Don't think thats worth it mate.

          You should probs just play Ivan, Clyne, Bellerin that week.

    4. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      no

    5. Mr Sarcastic
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Not worth it.
      My thinking is atm to get Rose in for free and keep Giroud instead of Austin.

      1. RSe
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Hmm that is worth considering. Do like the look of 2 home games though...

    6. RSe
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Ta all.

    7. Buck The Trent
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Might not play both games, because of Cup final and Europa

  10. Mr Sarcastic
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Looks like everyone in my ml has has Santi nowadays, I'm a rare Sanchez owner.

    Sanchez (C) - just digging deeper hole for myself?

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      possibly. Just captain Aguero

    2. JariL
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      As good as any this week

    3. Jarvis
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Mate, removing Sanchez next week could be a real possibility for me.

    4. Mr Sarcastic
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Thanks guy, maybe I'll just go for safe and Aguero.
      Altough it's time to take some risks, because I'm falling behind everyweek - Santi & Ivanovich thank you very much.

      1. mozza
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        I fell asleep and forgot to change my captain from Santi to Aguero, So i've tried it two weeks in a row and come up blank both times 🙂 Won't be trying my luck with a thrid

      I am starting to live dangerously now... if Moses had not come off the bench I would have been hoofed out with 53.

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

        Well done

  13. Cocky Spaniel Alves
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Not sure if there is any sense for me to bring in Eriksen for the DGW.

    I might just go with Kane and Austin as my only DGW players.

    I mean who should I drop for Eriksen?

    Sterling (BUR)
    Hazard (whu) and will have a DGW himself a bit later
    Cazorla (qpr)
    Silva (LEI)

    The only option seems to be Cazorla and he's currently my only Arsenal attacker.

    What do you guys think?

    1. Rhinos
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yep you're right, no guarantee Eriksen starts both anyway, Caz the one to go though if you do get him

    2. kalmoffit
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Hazard. Can buy him back next month.

      1. Cocky Spaniel Alves
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        I'd lose 0,5 m on him.

    3. Daniel Exeter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I would work out a way to get him in.
      He has Swansea and QPR - both very nice fixtures for Spurs.

      Assuming you have Aguero, maybe look to lose Silva - the old tactic of 'coverage'
      Hazard is a season keeper.

      I'd probably put it in this order:

      Cazorla
      Sterling
      Silva

      1. Rhinos
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        No way I'd lose Silva. Don't let the double blind you

        1. Daniel Exeter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          I'd agree, those fixtures are so nice after Pool.

          Cazorla, Sterling before Silva

  14. Buck The Trent
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    2 FTs, but have 4 out of favour players: Cahill, Baird, PVA, Albrighton
    Currently only have 8 playing in GW 27 assuming Baird, PVA dont play

    Best moves?

    A Cahill, Baird to Bertrand, Dawson
    B Cahill, Albrighton to Bertrand, Moses/Mane

    B seems to have more upside, but am I right that A is better for long term? Playing Moses/Mane for 1 GW seems to be a waste and I might need to take him out in the future for cash reasons (5th midfielder)

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      B but with Ki Song (Swansea dude)

  15. dmhomag
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    RMT

    Forster

    Clyne Ivanovic Bertrand

    Santi Sanchez Silva Ozil Milner

    Aguero Giroud

    Only from best 2 defensive teams (SOU CHE) and best 2 attacking teams (ARS MCI).

    1. NABIL - FPL otai

      4 ARS, try again

      1. dmhomag

        Yes. Fail. LOL

    2. dmhomag
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Milner > Zouma.

  16. NABIL - FPL otai
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    I might just go with Kane and Austin as my only DGW players - same here

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      rf to Hardball

    2. Nabs Kebabs
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      It's tricky because i'm not sure how long i want to hold onto the likes of eriksen/austin. Don't want to be stuck with players because of the dgw hype

      1. NABIL - FPL otai
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        I know - Giroud to Austin doesn't look real good. But then Austin was the preferred choice before he went injured - and people seem to forget how Giroud, despite his goalscoring form, is prone to rotation as Arsenal are fighting on 3 front. If I do that move, it's not only for the DGW.

    3. kalmoffit
      • 10 Years

    Rickardinho accuses me of following the herd and jumping on bandwagons 😆

    "You assume you are making independent decisions but the evidence is otherwise. You have exactly the transfer profile I described - early wildcard in GW 22 to get Aguero back and captain him for 1 point, knee-jerk to get Sanchez and Defoe for a hit in GW 25."

    I Wc'ed GW 21 with no Aguero. Get your facts right.

    I think you missed the part when i bought Austin for a hit at 0.9% ownership gw 11. Or when i captained Welbeck in gw 5 when he scored 12x2.

            Don't worry about it. Haters gonna hate and followers gonna follow. A few people decided I am Rick and Fantasy Geek has jumped on that bandwagon as well. 😉

              Haha. You should know it's a lot calmer with the controversies these days. There used to be a good deal of contests and drama happening every day in the past.

      You are a classic member of the peloton. Should change your name to "Fantasy Follower" really I think.

  25. kingozil-The Germans once a…
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    would it be madness to consider captaining Aguero in GW28 over kane with a double fixture? Leicester could get hammered and swansea are pretty tight. But QPR could let Kane flourish. Anyone else has this conundrum or its just as simple as Kane captain?

    1. Moin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      as simple as Kane captain

      1. kingozil-The Germans once a…
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        No ways you think Aguero could go mental against a Leicester team who can't defend?

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Hopefully he gets rested for QPR game

      1. kingozil-The Germans once a…
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        That would be fun :p

    3. Shifty
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Kane captain. You would be kicking yourself in the nuts with a metal tipped boot if you captain someone else and Kane explodes.

    4. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Not madness, no

    5. Ruth_NZ
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I'm considering that too. Leicester (h) is about as good as it gets. Plus Spurs have 4 important games in 9 days and the DGW games are the last 2 of those. I doubt Kane will play 90 minutes in both of them.

  26. Captain Shirokov
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Would you rather:

    A) Take a hit to get in Silva and Dawson/Lescott and admit defeat and play with 9 players (leaving WC for later in the season)

    or

    B) Use WC, sort out defence and a few others, get out a decent 11 for next week with Hazard, Kane and Eriksen benched

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      A

    2. Rhinos
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Must admit I'd be tempted to wc. This week gonna be a low average, the potential to steal a March is there. The difficulty of course is making sure good team going forwards

      1. Captain Shirokov
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Yup, if I WC I can get 11 out this week and still have 5/6 DGWers for a hit.

        1. Rhinos
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          You want that many? QPR options look limited to Austin and Spurs defence hardly inspires confidence

          1. Captain Shirokov
            • 12 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            Meant 4/5 😳 probably 4, Rose, Eriksen, Kane, Austin.

    3. Daniel Exeter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Presumably as it's an option still, you have a planned game week to use your WC?

      1. Captain Shirokov
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Nope, planned to use it whenever needs be. Think now is the time.

        1. Daniel Exeter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Sounds good

          Although not a fan of planning hits immediately after a WC
          But DGW's must

    4. Shifty
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      A. Who would Silva replace?

      1. Captain Shirokov
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Walcott

        1. Shifty
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          do it then. Good for the long haul as well, Walcott's position in the team isnt the same anymore...will still get hauls for sure, but not sure if worth the rotation risk,.

  27. Rhinos
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Sure most people who are trying have that combo and don't think it qualifies as a conundrum. Kane c

    1. kingozil-The Germans once a…
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      assuming its a reply fail, aguero could come out with an outstanding haul against a bottom team at the Etihad.

      1. Rhinos
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Of course but it's a needless gamble

  28. Daniel Exeter
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    DGW for Austin, Arsenal and Spurs.
    Does that have 4 points written all over it? Expect the Arsenal / Spurs defence to struggle?

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Probably. But high ceiling of potential

    2. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Spurs & Arsenal defence don't need to struggle for Austin to score. Not that solid after all. He's on PK duties as well.

    3. Dr Dream
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Good fixtures for QPR afterwards....and we know what happened last time he had good fixtures.

    4. Fabreghastly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Austin has proved he can score against anyone. And when he does he often gets bonus. Unlike another popular striker I could mention

  29. HVT
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Wisdom/PVA/Marney>Dawson/Toby(if fit)/Boyd -4?

    Gives me 11 and allows me to bench Terry/Haz/Kane.
    Gotta be worth it to ditch the deadwood.

    1. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Wisdom and Marney are your priorities, although most people (including me) are dttching PVa this week. I say no to hits this GW.

      1. HVT
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Essentially it's only a -2 in my case Nabil as I can't field 11,
        The hit clears the deadwood and a goal/assist from Boyd more than pays for itself.

    2. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Boring transfers there HVT, but sometimes boring is good and I think this is one of those occasions.

      1. Rhinos
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        I think not taking a hit the way forward. What's your plan if Toby not fit?

        1. HVT
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Wolly/Bruce not sure-Toby is ideal candidate but asking around he may not make it.

      2. HVT
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Agree, mostly maintenance issues but need to be done-all going well I could be set up quite nicely for nw, Giroud (c) ATM et toi Innsie?

        1. President John F. Keninnsie
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          No idea yet HVT, I'm a lot happier these days focussing on other peoples teams instead of my own 😛

      At least you recognised him. Most on here think it's Pacquiao.
