Charlie Adam is heading into Blackpool’s trip to Fulham on Saturday as an injury doubt following his outing for Scotland in the 2-0 defeat to Brazil.

The Blackpool skipper sustained a knee injury in conceding the penalty for Brazil’s second goal in the Emirates clash, having struggled to make an impression throughout.

A disappointed Adam seems confident that the setback will not keep him out of the weekend Craven Cottage visit…

“I just got a whack on it. We clashed knees but I’ll be all right and hopefully I’ll be ready for the weekend.”

Fantasy Managers need to show caution however; Adam is a highly sought after transfer target following his brace of goals and Fantasy Premier League (FPL) Bonus in the 2-2 draw at Blackburn last time out. The Scot is also closing in on a run of four consecutive home matches that will make him hot property with all active Fantasy Managers – Adam has so far attracted over 41,000 new owners in the FPL in this current gameweek.

While the injury appears to be a minor problem – impact injuries can cause complications, as recently highlighted by Robin Van Persie’s recent absence for Arsenal following a similar incident in the Carling Cup Final defeat to Birmingham.

Those contemplating investment will be wise to wait for an official update from the Bloomfield Road camp. We will of course bring you any updates as and when they arrive.

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

    SO Richards and Zabaleta injured and Boateng going under the knife, it looks like Kolarov is rotation proof now?

      Sorry, Zabableta is not injured just on compassionate leave.
      But anyway no Toure either, so
      Zabaleta-Kompany-Lescott-Kolarov

      with Boyata as back up??

    What do you think of these transfers chaps?

    Zigic > RVP
    A. Young > Adam
    Baines > Smalling

    or

    Zigic > RVP
    A. Young > O'Hara
    Huth > Smalling

    My main rival has RVP, Adam and Smalling. Our teams would look almost identical if I made the transfers. Not so sure about getting rid of Baines as he's proven to be a good differential. Thoughts? Any other transfers spring to mind?

          Indeed. Hmmm...

          I'd probably go with the first transfer plan anyway.

          I am! I need a forward to play this week and then in 33, and a Birmingham forward is perfect*!

      Don't let him get away with all the Adam points, maybe if you get him he'll switch 😛

      The top one IMO

          Okay the game is up, I can't do this to someone who asked so politely for help....

          Retro - The link you have given directs everyone to their own FPL side! (hence my joke about that team being perfect!) You need to provide a link along the lines of:

          http://fantasy.premierleague.com/M/entryhist.mc?id=28

          ...although obviously with your ID number, not 28 (which is mine). It explains how to do it in the FAQ section here.

          Until you do that, no one can give you any advice because we can't see your bloody team! 😛

    benayoun was on the bench for israel this week. bet chelsea were happy*
    *maybe they were happy for him to get some more training under his belt and get his spirits up being amongst the national team, and generally feeling like a footballer again. either way i think it's a bit of a joke

    Just reading through the comments and saw the mobile phone contract chat. Anyone planning to upgrade / get a new phone contract (or Sky / Virgin contract, electricity or gas etc):

    Go to a cashback website like http://www.quidco.com/ or http://www.topcashback.co.uk/ - they will offer you something like £100 to £150 cashback for signing up to a 2 year mobile contract.

    Here's the good bit - you don't even need to sign up and wait for the cashback to come through. Ring up, say, Vodafone, tell them about the cashback deal you've seen, and they'll knock the same amount off the cost of the contract (might take a small amount of haggling, but not a lot).

    I got £120 off a 2 year Vodafone contract by doing this.

    Check the cashback they offer on other stuff as well - I've had about £200 back overall from things like Sky, gas and electricity, stuff from Play.com, electrical goods etc.
