Charlie Adam is at the centre of an injury scare which could decimate Blackpool‘s survival hopes and dent the end of season fortunes of many Fantasy Managers.

The PFA Player of the Year nominee suffered a knock to his foot against Wigan on Saturday and, although Adam completed the 90 minutes, his foot has swollen badly and he is set to undergo an x-ray to determine the full extent of the problem. Although not considered to be a serious setback, Adam is currently wearing a cast and scan results will reveal whether he will be forced to sit out the impending clash with Newcastle and the matches that follow.

The last few weeks have seen Adam prove a hugely popular option for Fantasy Managers. Blackpool have had run of fixtures which included four consecutive home encounters and, even after the weekend defeat to Wigan, their schedule remains favourable enough to boost Adam’s potential (NEW STK tot BOL mun). The Blackpool skipper has earned over 150,000 investors in the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game since gameweek 30.

Even before the recent surge in popularity, Adam has been a stand-out performer and a staple for many Fantasy Managers. An FPL points total of 160 is clear evidence of an outstanding first season in the Premier League and, with an ownership of 36.7% in the FPL, there will be thousands anxious to hear updates from Bloomfield Road in the next 48-hours.

We will keep you posted via the Tweets and team news as always.

    Haha such was the hysteria last week!!!

    A bunch of sloths made the extreme decision that nani wasn't going to play this week coz valencia will def play. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

    Yes thats why valencia was subbed at the weekend. No theres a chance nani may not play at the wkend with man u playing in europe a few days later but thats applying logic not the madness of the article and the ensuing zombie hoardes who decided nani would be out.

    LOLLLLLLLL

    Nani for hattrick.

        Fair enough to feel justified as there are people on here who think they are the bee knees.
        However, is it not viable to wait until the game has at least started before going on about how great your decision was.
        If Nani does nothing and/or gets subbed early/sent off you're gonna look like a right melt.

      LOL

      Like you predicted the Lotto numbers or something!

      It was 50/50 that Nani was going to play either in he was or he wasn't.

      Forgive me but you're hardly Nostradamus!

    mr dozzell you know the majority of people kept nani and those who didn't i'm sure many of them ditched him for someone they thought would score better. keeping banding the drum though it's fascinating

        I know but what happens once someone loses an arguement is they find grammatical erors. Its poor form really. Just enjoying gloating. Plenty took him out coz they were certain he'd do nothing :p

    Mmm. BBC stats say Newcastle have 76% possession. Guess I feel less smug about have Rooney and Nani. Glad Manu U are looking like the Chamions Elect
