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Fraizer Campbell was withdrawn during the Eagles’ home loss to Arsenal after picking up a hamstring problem.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.

    How would you range Kelly, PvA and Tadic in percentage of starting next GW?

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

      10, 25, 50

      1. Plymouth
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Why do you think its so unlikely Kelly will start? This new guy didnt do that well, did he? Conceded a pentalty

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

          Well he was bought in as the club's main LB so Ward can return to his normal position (RB). Imagine if he got dropped after one poor game, would be a big confidence killer and managers often stick with new signings.

            Sounds fair, agreed.

    Was Bruce sacrificed for tactical reasons on sat or is he another dead rubber?

    1. Beavis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Tactical, went to 4 at the back.

      1. Viper
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Hopefully he starts again anyway.

        That 1 point could be crucial 😉

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

    Who to sell first out of Baird or PVA?

    1. Royal5
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Baird imo

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

      Baird

    3. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Baird

    4. President John F. Keninnsie

      Cheers

    5. Mílanista

      Baird

  4. racerx
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    What happened with PvA? Was he benched or rested until late?

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

      Dropped

  5. royals forever
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    9 years, 3 months ago

    In your opinions which is better

    Guaranteed 11 for GW27, 3 DGWers for GW28 (-4)

    or

    Guaranteed 10 for GW27, 3 DGWers for GW28 (no hits)

    Any ideas would be welcomed

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

      I think it depends on whether or not you think the player will score an average of 4 points in that fixture?

    2. Sarri-ball
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I'm planning similer

      Think 11 with hit week after.

      Who would 11th player be?

    3. Sarri-ball
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Would be like a 2 point hit assuming the 11th player only gets 2 points worth the gamble I reckon

  6. Viper
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Is team as bad as everyone else's this week or is it considerably worse?

    Krul

    Wollscheid Bruce Bertrand PVA

    Boyd Walcott Sanchez (c) Walters

    Aguero Defoe

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Guy in front of me in our MOTM thing has SIX starters next week. 😆 He is 6 points ahead. Hopefully I'll beat him !!!

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        He has Geoff Cameron, who has a nice fixture, but doubt he'll start. Hope not, anyway!

      2. Viper
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        I have a horrible feeling im gonna stung by a VC!

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

      pretty okay

      1. Viper
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Bruce, PVA & Walcott not guaranteed starters. Defoe with a poor fixture.

        It's gonna be a massacre 🙂

    Current DEF line: Clyne - Bellerin - PVA - Bruce - Wisdom

    Trading Wisdom out and need a defender for one week before they turn into Rose.

    Best defender under 4.8 for this week..?

    Cheers lads!

    1. Test Eagles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Haidara for one week

  8. Not Irish
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Lloris
    Coleman Smalling Laporte Shaw
    Carrick
    Pogba AdM
    Bale Rooney Nani

    😎

    1. jaredwilliams
      • 9 Years

      Put ADM where Nani is and bring in Herrera. Happy days!

    2. Lucy.
      • 10 Years

      Smalling!?!?! 😆

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years

        About the only part of the team that's realistic.

  9. Ricky - it doesn\'t ta…
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    No benching problems next week, just captaincy choice. Who looks best out of this lot?

    a) giroud
    b ) aguero
    c) di maria
    d) alexis

    1. Sarri-ball
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I think I'm going sanchez

    2. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Tough one. I'd *almost* be inclined to go ADM. Don't own him, so Kün pour moi...m:)

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        I am benching PVA next week. Guaranteed start and assist now, then... 😉

        1. Ricky - it doesn\'t ta…
          • 12 Years

          Hope so as i have to play him

    3. Odikostar
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Going with Giroud or alexis myself

    4. Stretford End
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I'm going giroud

  10. Wild Rover
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    How to ask for advice when you rivals are all members and there is one week to go with £1000 up for grabs 😕

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

      Give us your team and ask what people would do, without indicating what you've chosen?

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        It's UFPL and not as simple as that I'm afraid 🙁 Great game though, get in

    2. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Only one week to go?'

      1. Wild Rover
        • 13 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Manager of the month in UFPL

    3. Sarri-ball
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Don't play ufpl but was speaking to 1 of my best friends and he near top for monthly price.also a member I think

  11. Left Peg
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone here gone for a 3-5-2?

    I'm happy with Aguero and Kane as my strikers, but nobody particularly tempts me for the third spot. With Kane being so cheap, I think a 3-5-2 could work out nicely. I've chucked in Barnes as my cheapo striker fodder (only £4.4m and hopefully won't get banned for the Matic challenge...).

    We'll see how it works out.

    1. jaredwilliams
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I've been going 3-5-2 since my WC with Ings as my 3rd striker and he's saved me a couple of times.

      Not a bad way to go bud I'd prefer to have Sturridge/Giroud/Costa if I had the option.

  12. Dr. Agabuse
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    The SetPieceTakers section says Brady is still Hulls no1 penalty Taker. Is that true? Has there been a penalty to Hull this season at all?

  13. Red-United
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Looks like I can field only 8 players next week without taking a hit.

    Can anyone do lower than 8?

  14. Mind över Mata
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Which of these would you swap for Eriksen?

    A) Fabregas
    B) ADM
    C) Ozil

    1. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Eriksen out ??!!!?

          • 12 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah, Fàb ain't really done too much in the last few games...

            Playing in a keeper league and my mate foolishly just sold Eriksen! 🙂

  15. Sarri-ball
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    With Rvp injured.

    Is there a chance fellani could start off a striker or even Uptop?

    Looking for a 1 week punt

    1. Red-United
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Wouldn't rule out LvG playing him as a second striker.

      1. Sarri-ball
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Just need a 1 week punt before eriksen.

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

      Unlikely. Fellaini was woeful against Swansea.

      1. Sarri-ball
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Was he must admit didn't c game.

        Just really fancy a punt.

    Can anyone post a link to the leader on gw2 please?
    There's one bugger who's ahead of me for ages now overall who didn't start gw1

    1. Sarri-ball
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I had 1 above me for few weeks aswell used to annoy me lol.

      Good feeling when your overall rank is same as gameweek 1 rank

      1. noMoreInternationalBreaks
        • 9 Years

        Nice rank and history!

          Thanks. having a good season usually do ok but this my best

    2. President John F. Keninnsie
      • 10 Years

      He's my mate, knows absolutely nothing about football 😆

      I'll go find his link.

      1. noMoreInternationalBreaks

        Thanks! I'm 3k overall so he must be doing something right!!

          http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/2823761/event-history/26/

          Just so you know, this is his first season doing FPL, he never watches any games, and has made just 1, yes ONE, transfer in the last 8 weeks.

          Hope that makes you feel better 🙂

          1. Barry Woj
            • 11 Years

            • 9 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            Hahahaha that is brilliant. Fella in work signed up to the work league last year and had Sturridge captain. Knows nothing about football and never looked at his team. At gw8 he was 800 overall haha it naturally went on a slippery slope from then on

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

              Yeah, I can't believe my mate is still up there 26 weeks into the season 😆

    3. Mílanista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      I hate those GW2 people that are beating me! 😡

    4. Cousin Greg
      • 9 Years

      he is top 35 overall

  17. Manu5
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Can anyone shed some light o. Why moses took the pk over Walters?

      1. Manu5
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Ah yes, point taken, I actually forgot his history,was thinking to bring him in for a punt, but may lean towards moses now. However another stoke pk is probably not happening

      Not really, no

  19. Ravager
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Good day,

    Due to being new to this/not being the biggest BPL fan, in a bit of a pickle for next GW.

    Krul (Panti)

    PVA Baird Clyne (Terry Wasi)
    Sanchez Cazorla Mane JWP (Hazard)
    Kane** Aguero Giroud

    Can anyone make suggestions so I could field an ok XI please? Only have 1 FT, no problems with taking a hit honestly

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

      Sell Wasi and Baird/PVA

      1. Ravager
        • 9 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Thanks. Also thinking of shipping Cazorla for Sterling this GW since my midfield is literally two teams..any suggestions for a sub for JWP as well?

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

          Boyd, Gil, Moses seem alright. Maybe Ibe too.

    Mourinho: ‘Wenger has the dream job, allowed to wait for success, and wait, and wait’

    1. Test Eagles
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      He's such a twisted and negative cretin ... respect his managerial skills, but as a human being he's about as fickle as they come. Would love to see him coach Newcastle for a season just to see how he'd go without the start-studded lineup at his disposal.

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

        He'd do very well.

        1. The Machine
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Like he did with inter, leaving them in a mess with all his spendings

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

            He did do very well there though. Test Eagles said he'd love to see him coach Newcastle for a season - it might be a disaster in the long term, but I'd bet they'd have one hell of a season.

  21. Keep the Faith
    • 12 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Hi all, advice appreciated:

    Pants Krul
    Clyne Bertrand Hutton PVA Wisdom
    Hazard Sanchez AMD Caz Punch
    Aguero Giroud Kane

    2FT 0.1 in bank

    Will wait until later in week but...

    GW27 - Hazard to Silva (playing 352 and lose 0.2 on Hazard)
    GW28 - Wisdom ADM Giroud to Rose Eriksen Austin (-4 but gets rid of Wisdom for DGW Def plus DGW players)
    GW29/30 start to bring in Chelsea players

    Does this seem a decent plan?

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

      Not sure you should lose Hazard for Silva since Man City not winning Liverpool 5-0 🙂 But plan sounds good

  22. jackluhg
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Panti Hamer
    Terry Clyne Wollscheid PvA Baird
    Cazorla Hazard ADM Sanchez Puncheon
    Kane Aguero Defoe

    2.3 ITB 2FT WC

    any idea how to deal with the blank this week, really don't wanna play 4-4-2 with Baird.. cheers guys

  23. goriuanx
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    What's the situation with Sanchez?

    1. Mílanista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      He's yet to feel the Sherwood Effect.

    2. Wild Rover
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Over priced and done nothing when I have him. Going

      1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        tempted too, just got a lot of value tied up in him that makes me pause

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

        I'm selling soon I think

  24. Plymouth
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Thinking Haidara might be the best one-week punt

    1. Chelsea Dagger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      that's what i did

  25. Nice to Finally Michu
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Forster (McCarthy*)
    PvA Wollscheid Clyne Bellerin (Zouma*)
    AdM Sterling Silva Walcott (Hazard*)
    Ayoze Kun (Kane*)

    2FT, 0.6 ITB

    What moves would you make with these team guys?
    (all help is VERY appreciared 🙂 )

    1. Mataatti
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      PvA -> Haidara/Dawson

  26. Plymouth
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Pants
    Haidara, Jones, Bellerin, PvA
    Boyd, Sanchez, Silva, Coutinho
    Aguero, Giroud

    Haz, Terry, Kane

    Should be sufficient?
