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Fraizer Campbell was withdrawn during the Eagles’ home loss to Arsenal after picking up a hamstring problem.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

    Any getting rid of Terry?
    Thinking Zouma is a better pick long term and I need to upgrade elsewhere now!

      Rose is a better short term pick than the rotation risk zouma

    Thinking for dgw going PVA + Oscar to Rose + Eriksen

    How many dgw players do you guys plan to have?

    1. Nasri Loves Kompany
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Kane, Eriksen and probably Austin

    2. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      3 or 4

    3. money face bandwagon
      • 10 Years

      eriksen n kane. Might worth a -4 to take out wisdom for rose since i m clearing a deadweight

      1. mgilbert86
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        -2 actually

        1. money face bandwagon
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Exactly. No better time to clear deadweight haha

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

      Kane, Eriksen and Austin

      1. mgilbert86
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        austin tempting as a buy and then sell, much more upside to owning a spurs defender

        1. mgilbert86
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          than to*

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

          That upside is the tempting thing... Will hate to miss out if he gets a couple of goals across the two games and hits a big score.

          1. mgilbert86
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            not sure yet as giroud may well get the same amount in the qpr game alone

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

          I completely disagree.

          Austin has form, rest, and the drive to earn a transfer to another club (QPR in big relegation trouble).

          He has two home games against Arsenal (who don't often keep clean sheets away) and Spurs (don't keep clean sheets in general).

          Plus, you'll have to pay 5.8+ for a Spurs defender that will actually play both games.

          1. mgilbert86
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            read the edit, i agree with you, just a typo

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

            Woops. Misread that - Austin has more points potential by far than a Spurs defender IMO. Also have Giroud as my third striker - would be very hard to drop him before the QPR game, but I have a feeling he might be rested for it, as against Leicester.

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

              Yep. I'm happy to drop Giroud for the QPR game, it's away and Arsenal have a lot of potential goal scorers.

              And yes, he could be rested.

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

      2-3spurs. Kane, Vert, Ericksen. Most likely

      1. mgilbert86
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        no qpr?

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

          Don't think so. Tempted by Austin, but I'd have to give up Giroud and he could score a brace vs QPR. Kane and Kun my others, and they stay unless injured

  3. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Would u sell Cazorla for Eriksen in the double or it isn't worth it?

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yes

    2. walkman666
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yes, but not sure if it will be caz, silva, or Alexis yet.

    3. Najoman86
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Yep, that's the plan

  4. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Rose could be rotated in the double, go Walker lads. And he has history of exploding in double gw's before

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Would you get Walker for a hit ?

    2. Elniñorules
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Depends. If Davies starts in Europa and COC finals, Rose could be nailed on.

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

    Thinking Terry out for a hit.

    How does the math work?

    Hit = -4
    Playing full 11 man = +2 for missing player (90 min). To make the hit pay the replacement must have 50% chance of CS, i.e. 50% x 4 = 2 points?

    1. mgilbert86
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      you are -2 of the bat and if he gets a clean sheet you are plus 2

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

        I see now why it's hardly worth a hit to swap a defender.

        1. mgilbert86
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          yep, it never has paid off for me

  6. Heskey Time
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Team:
    hamer, pants
    clyne, terry, naughton, bellerin, hutton
    haz, sanchez, silva, ADM, boyd
    giroud, kun, kane
    2 FT and .2 ITB
    Thinking maybe hutton -> dawson
    plan of Giroud+adm-> Costa+ mane week after the blank
    Any other ideas?

  7. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
    • 13 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Thoughts on my team for next week ? Anything worth a hit ?

    Heaton

    Naughton , Lescott , Haidiara , Hutton

    Silva , Walcott , Elia , Sanchez

    Defoe , Aguero

  8. Jay Jay Okocha
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    Just cracked the top 250, any advice for GW27?

    Foster, Myill
    Terry, Clyne, Wollscheid, PVA, Wisdom
    Sanchez, Hazard, Silva, Cazorla, Lucas
    Aguero, Giroud, Kane

    2 FT, 0.1 ITB

    Thinking Wisdom and Lucas to Ibe and a cheap rotation defender like Haidara. The plan is to get Eriksen in for Santi next week. Any thoughts?

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Don't listen to me and please help me

    For all those transferring JT/Ivano out on the basis of Matic being suspended, you might find it useful to know that Chelsea are going to appeal the red card.

    Howard Webb was on Sky yesterday along with Gary Neville and he said the "violent conduct" is not a red if it was below neck level. Barnes was pushed at his chest and the point remains that a more lenient ref wouldn't have even booked him (see Vertonghen's case yesterday for example)

    I'm not banking on the FA to be fair here but a similar case of Wayne Routledge red card had been rescinded recently. I wouldn't usually have any hope. For a change, the whole media / other fans are on Chelsea's side and this could be FA's big chance.

    Here's hoping. Matic has been our best player and it would be a shame to lose him in such an unjust manner.

    1. mgilbert86
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      i lost terry because ivan is far better to own at the moment and i plan to get him (also didn't want to field 9 guys)

    2. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      The F.A always seem very reluctant to change decisions . The usual reason given is changing decisions undermines the authority of referees or something like that

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

        Could be the easiest way to cop out though. Rescind Matic's red and leave Barnes alone, which would be very annoying.

        1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
          • 13 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest

      2. Elniñorules
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Yep but in this game, the ref was so useless, it just makes sense to ensure some justice prevails.

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

      While I feel for Matic and understand why he did what he did, running at a player and pushing him down is violent conduct. I can't see the FA reversing it.

      I'm not a ref, so Webb probably knows better, but I don't see that being reversed. Would rather see retrospective action taken against Barnes.

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

        Violent conduct for sure. But does it warrant a straight red is the question? We've all seen so many shoves/pushes get away with just a yellow and in this case when you consider the circumstances, it's got to be a yellow at best.

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

          Point taken.

      2. Marknlard
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Can't see it being reversed either. The FA will be worried that it sends out a message that it's ok to shove the opposition after a bad tackle. Barnes should get retrospective after that challenge but the FA won't be lenient towards Matic.

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

          Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't have expected it either. The circumstances in the game were simply abnormal as a result of poor officiating. Had Atkinson taken the game under control, the game would have been done and dusted in the first half.

          Besides the FA is under a lot of pressure with the Mourinho campaign talk. The media has universally swung in favor of Mourinho. Let's see if FA follows suit.

      He is a violent thug. Ban him (hopeful spurs fan)

      1. Elniñorules
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        No Matic, no worry. Step up Sir John Obi 😉

    Haven't seen Doosra around for a while, normally see his posts everyday?

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

      Good riddance I say.

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

        Unnecessary

  11. Amateur Pundit Zan
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 3 months ago

    G'day deadzone

    4th green in a row taken me to highest ever rank 🙂

    I hope you all fairing well.

    My question for this week is I have 2ft so need to use 1.

    Should I do
    A) PVA -> 4.7m (would keep replacement long term)
    B) Defoe -> 6.6m (would swap for Austin next week)

    1. Adam West - Team Serbia for…
      • 13 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      A

    2. mgilbert86
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      would just replace pva to field 11

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

        But not for a hit (even if you do not field 11).

        1. mgilbert86
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 3 months ago

          he has two ft's

      2. Amateur Pundit Zan
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Yep got Ivan, haz, Kane so need everyone out

    3. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Nice rank, well done.
      Deal with PVA prob

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

      Long term PVA > Coloccini BUT I am not sure given the 5-0. Stats / BPS solid before the 5-0.

    5. Amateur Pundit Zan
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      So sounds like sensible thing is to deal with PVA

      But the lure of the one week forward punt may be too strong

    6. Marknlard
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      I have PVA and Defoe (and 2 FTs) and will be sorting PVA out first. Might as well play Defoe at OT and go for Austin after.

      Your one week Defoe replacement not only has to outscore him at OT but it's pretty likely that you'll be spending 4 points on PVA somewhere down the line if you're not using this opportunity, so he'll have to outscore that too. In one match...

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

    Anything wrong with Sanchez? Fantasy death due to spreading of opportunities among myriad of mids, e.g. early season when he was out on wing? How did he play on Saturday?

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

    7 green arrows in a row. But..

    GW 24 : OR# 10,976
    GW 25: OR# 10,975
    GW 26: OR# 10,572

    😮

        I'm lost. FPL is suddenly a barren wilderness.

        1. La Roja
          • 12 Years

          Lost your mojo.

          Step back for 3 days minimum and don't think about it

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

            Yeah, I suppose I'll switch off midweek for the European games.

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

        😀

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

    Rooney, Sakho or Cisse

    &

    Silva, Sterling or Moses

    That's what I've narrowed it down to.

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

      Cisse & Sterling

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

        Cheers. Cisse was always the plan. Rooney very tempting though. And Sakho is brill when given the minutes.

    2. mgilbert86
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      wtf would you want any of those strikers

      1. mgilbert86
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        i got you, cisse silva

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

          Cheers. Cisse looks a cracking punt.

    3. Joggers Nipple
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 3 months ago

      Silva one

      1. Joggers Nipple
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 3 months ago

        Mis read
        Cisse/ Sakho for one week punts
        Silva

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

          Sterling or Silva is so tough. I could go with Studge and Silva but then I wouldn't be able to get Ivanovic after the blank.

          1. Joggers Nipple
            • 14 Years
            9 years, 3 months ago

            The return of Yaya benefited Silva the most imo, Know its just one game vs a poor NEW but happy to have him and will hold for a while

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

              Yeah, as I said below, he looks on another level this season. Which is crazy as he was already top class.

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

      On Silva I downrated him as he is shifted to the wing, now Dzeko Bony YYT are back. One explosion against a terrible NEW does not change this.

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

        I agree with that but his finishing is suddenly world class it seems. I really wish I had both but obviously not selling Eriksen until after the DGW.

    Suarez gave Ivanovic his goalscoring powers by biting him.

      He is my great regret this season. Haven't owned him at all.

        Same and I hate his price. Surely he'll stop scoring...

    Is PVA to Wollscheid a good transfer? My budget to replace PVA is 5.1m. I have 2 FTs. Any other decent options?

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

      It's Wollsheid or Bellerin for me. Dawson unless you already have him.

      Is Wllsheid a goal threat though?

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

        Yes, when Wolls is defending his goal, you can feel the threat.

        Thanks for the advice mate. I'll probably go with Dawson...

    Foster (Pantilimon)

    Bellerin Fonte Dawson Van Aanholt (Terry)

    Walcott Sterling Mane Boyd (Hazard)

    Aguero Falcao (Kane)

    2. Acruzen
      • 9 Years

    3. Elniñorules

      Don't you think Falcao has been dropped perennially? Don't fancy a swap to Wayne/Gru/Stud?

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

        RVP left the stadium in a protective boot so I guess he is out this weekend so Falcao will be back.

        Falcao > Austin for the double though.
