Injuries

6 November 2010 378 comments

Akers

Once again we find ourselves watching the clock tick towards the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) deadline. With so many injuries to so many fantasy favourites (I count 98 players red or yellow flagged on FPL) most of us are having our hand forced into multiple transfers (none for me this week however). With the following FPL deadline just 80 hours after this one, sitting on your injured players is that little bit more difficult to do.

Then even if you manage to get the transfer(s) you want done, you still have the dilemma of which player to captain. And unless you have Cesc Fabregas (who is the clear leader of the Captain’s Poll this week with 33%), it’s a tricky decision to make…

As well as the Captain’s Poll to help you out, there is obviously the weekly Scout Picks to ponder, the Team News to digest, and the Watchlist (on the right-hand side of the site home page) is well worth a gander. You know the drill by now.

Still undecided? Then head to the Saturday Surgery, which is open for business right up to the deadline.

Also a quick reminder to our FFS Cup III participants, that the round four fixtures can be found via here.

Logged off the FPL site..... refusing to take a points hit this week. Doing that alone will make up ground on most people.

Nani out Bale in my freebie.

Ok I am taking the risk!! Dropping Caroll playing Dann
Checked out caroll's history he hasn't performed well in away games. Birmingham should keep a clean sheet against the Hammers.

Opta have said Elmander has had 2 assists in this game, but on FPL it's still 1
