FPL Daily: Doherty set to miss rest of season, Dias back in training

We round up the key Fantasy Premier League (FPL) talking points of the day in FPL Daily, a series that services weekdays where there is no press conference round-up or Premier League match.

DOHERTY ‘OUT FOR 12 WEEKS’

The confirmation has yet to come from Tottenham Hotspur but Matt Doherty (£4.9m) looks set to miss the rest of the season with the knee injury that he picked up in Saturday’s win over Aston Villa.

The Athletic were among the media outlets to suggest that Doherty’s injury will keep him out for up to 12 weeks.

Spurs’ last Premier League fixture comes at Norwich City in six weeks’ time.

DIAS BACK IN TRAINING

Pep Guardiola and Manchester City have been handed a major fitness boost for their trophy fight on multiple fronts as Ruben Dias (£6.1m) is now back in full training with the first-team squad.

Dias has been out for over a month with a hamstring strain.

It’s not yet known whether the centre-half will play a part against Atletico Madrid on Wednesday or Liverpool in the FA Cup semi-final at the weekend, but Pep Guardiola may tell us more when he faces the press on Tuesday afternoon. 

LUKAKU STILL OUT

Thomas Tuchel confirmed on Monday that Cesar Azpilicueta will be part of the Chelsea squad to face Real Madrid on Tuesday evening but Romelu Lukaku (Achilles) will not travel.

Both players missed Gameweek 32 but Azpilicueta returns to the squad following several negative tests for Covid-19.

Callum Hudson-Odoi (Achilles/back) and Ben Chilwell (knee) remain on the injury list, while Ross Barkley is ill.

    My team looks ok on paper but have had 2 horror shows of weeks after WC.
    2ft's. Who is getting culled for you from this lot?

    Pope.
    James, Cancelo, TAA.
    Martinelli, Kulu, Saka, Salah, Havertz.
    Kane, Broja.
    Foster, Laporte, Amartey, Mateta.
    2ft's, 0.2m ITB.

      Hard to find a weakness there. Dare I say burn a transfer.

      Or you could consider Pope-> Schmeichel? I also went with Pope 2 weeks ago but have been pretty disappointed. Great fixtures but I'm not sure they'll keep any CS. Mind you, Leicester aren't exactly solid defensively either so could backfire.

      sorry mate
      Maddison was at 87% on stats when I said unlikely to rise on ur post
      Bit surprised he went up tonight.

      I would just monitor it on stats and make the move if either of them hit 75 % or higher as there does seem to be a bit of margin for error.

      I'd say he might rise again but not before the EL game. Honestly I don't think he's going to start the first game of this double, could be way off but he's played a lot of games in a row and was one of the few that didn't get rotated on Sunday. He's generally been a bit injury prone so I think a rest has to be coming then, or if not then then definitely the second game

      Soyuncu may not play much if Evans and Fofana stay fit, but that being said Arsenal's defensive form is worrying without Tierney and Partey. Barnes and Adams are decent but if you're going for a Leicester mid I'd try stretch to Maddison, might avoid Adams due to Saints' very poor form but they are against two teams in poor form

      If we accept that a 20 point gain with BB is acceptable as some of the pundits were discussing, than I would be tempted to BB that bench. I’d want a better forward than Weghorst but he may get you 4 points.

      He had a shot against Norwich in the box but it was blocked. I don't see him staying in that starting line-up so it's the right call, I just got rid for Toney (don't like early transfers but I'm happy to keep Toney for the remainder of the season and I was just sick of seeing Weg there)

      It will have to score around 25pts for any kind of decent returns which I'm not sure will happen.

      Individually, Doherty to Schar and Dennis to Wood are okay, doubtful about Fofana and Ward Prowse.

      I think it would be better to BB later. Even a bunch of fodders are likely to get 10-12pts, so you dont need to do anything special for BB.

        For instance, I would expect Foster-Hall/Gordon-Fofana-Mateta/Pukki to do fine in BB36. Cheap and okay potential. With some cash injection, you might even be able to get a better bench.

      Cheers all. Think I’ll stick with a -4 and just bench Rudiger and foster.

      I like the plan for playing fodder over BB36 too. Cheers

          Nuts, Just the Schar one for me then, other transfer can just strengthen bench
