With the first international break of the season already underway, we scour the Premier League treatment rooms to assess the players who picked up injuries over the weekend action.

Arsenal
Laurent Koscielny was withdrawn midway through the first-half of yesterday’s trip to Leicester after sustaining a head injury. Arsene Wenger reckons the Frenchman “should be alright” in a week, while the Gunners boss also revealed Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (calf) and Mesut Ozil (ankle) picked up problems in the 1-1 stalemate.

Aston Villa
Skipper Ron Vlaar was subbed off due to a calf complaint in Villa’s win over Hull, Paul Lambert has confirmed.

Chelsea
Oscar was unavailable for the Blues’ trip to Everton in Saturday evening after being ruled out with an ankle problem. Eden Hazard has since pulled out of the Belgium squad with a “small injury”.

Crystal Palace
Marouane Chamakh is set to be sidelined for a month with the hamstring problem picked up during the weekend draw at Newcastle. Fellow forward Dwight Gayle was also withdrawn at St James’ Park after sustaining an ankle knock but is expected to be fit in time for Gameweek 4.

Everton
Similar to Chelsea’s Hazard, Romelu Lukaku has also withdrawn from international duties for Belgium due to a small injury.

Man City
Summer signing Fernando was subbed off during the first half of Saturday’s home loss to Stoke with a groin problem, Manuel Pellegrini admitted post-match.

Man United
Initial reports suggested Juan Mata was replaced with three minutes remaining of United’s draw at Burnley with a hamstring problem. Louis van Gaal has since stated the Spaniard was withdrawn due to cramp. The Red Devils’ boss also confirmed Angel di Maria was subbed off as a precautionary measure after sustaining a knock on his calf.

Newcastle
Newcastle right-back Daryl Janmaat was withdrawn with just three minutes left of Saturday’s clash against Palace after picking up a knock.

Stoke
Peter Odemwingie was forced off with a knee problem just 20 minutes after appearing off the bench in the Potters’ win at City.

Tottenham
Danny Rose was withdrawn midway through the second-half of yesterday’s home loss to Liverpool with a leg problem.

      Countries are irrelevant. You can join aby side just need to contact a captain or manager

    3. RoyaleBlue

      Got the same midfield and Aguero instead of Costa

      1. Skor Hattricksson
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I'm getting rid of Rooney before Costa at this point.

    Does anyone actually understand FFP? If not please don't pretend you do, but if anybody knows what they're talking about - how big a pile of sh*te are United in?

    1. Kudo Warrior
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Not that big if you think about it. They just need no injuries and for the new team to gel.

      1. Bauerhaus 24
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        what? i think you misread the question

    2. XhakaCan
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      FFP is rubbish, most big clubs are able to work around it. United should be fine, only thing is the huge wages that Falcao will get.

  3. Dr Funk

    To those who say that Welbeck is gash...

    ...100 points from half a seasons worth of games last year. Ill be snapping him up if he goes to Arsenal.

    1. applebonkers
      • Has Moderation Rights

      swear he scored something like 6 in 6 when they actually played him CF

    2. chuckberry04
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Yes I agree; I don't understand why so many people think he's a bad player. Welbeck or Falcao that's the question, but at that price..

  4. Ad4m
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Welbeck - like Ian Wright only smaller, lighter, slower and considerably less deadly

    Awesome buy

    1. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Is he available for Champions league games? 😉

      1. Ad4m
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        and not cup tied either

  5. Davido989

    Still can't get over Welbeck. Christmas has came early 😀

      For who?

      1. Davido989
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Me. My friends support United and Arsenal. United fans love him and the Arsenal ones don't rate him. I'm just enjoying the meltdown

    Ian Abrahams (Moose) ‏@BroadcastMoose 20s
    Falcao has left the Airport in a black Chrysler black merc van, should be here at Carrington soon

    1. Pork Pie Sausage Roll
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Is the "merc" thing a pun?

  7. ZE GERMANS
    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Arsenal gets a Manure reject. Logic.

    1. Adam
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      And Real Madrid get Hernandez. Context.

      1. Zasa
        • 11 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Madrid is all about the revenue selling jerseys though. Most of Mexico XI is in La Liga now, & with Chicarito there now, imagine the amount they will sell. Arguably their most famous player, even if he sits on the bench (likely), they'll still make massive profit.

        Add James to that list, now they just need a Chilean & they have all of Latin America buying up their merchandise. Perez is a genius

        1. Miami Monkey
          • 11 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Their most famous player? Have you not heard of Ronaldo?

          1. Demí
            • 14 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            Their as in Mexico's i presume.

            1. Zasa
              • 11 Years
              11 years, 3 months ago

              Yes sorry, I meant Mexico.

    2. The Machine
      • 12 Years

      Just like United were after vermaelen

  8. Yome
    • 14 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    I am loving this, United got the best of Arsenal with RVP and now United are doing charity to Arsenal with Welbeck 🙂

    1. RoyaleBlue
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Arsenal still to finish higher then united

      1. Yome
        • 14 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Only last season, Arsenal are fecked IMO, no DM and no CB signed

        1. Mull
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Mert and Kosc are fine.

        2. chrisjdgrady
          • 12 Years
          11 years, 3 months ago

          Yeah same CBs that got a crap load of clean sheets last season, so fecked

          1. Zasa
            • 11 Years
            11 years, 3 months ago

            😉

    2. Zasa
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Seems Monaco are doing them a charity, first Berba, now this?

  9. Ludo
    • 12 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    All this talk about how Arsenal 'need' a striker on top of Sanchez, Giroud, Podolski, Walcott, Sanogo and Campbell.

    Their senior centre backs are currently Koscielny, Mertesacker and Chambers.

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Sanchez is adapting to the role, Giroud is injured, Podolski is awful, Walcott is injured and needs to adapt, Campbell is a winger and then there is Yaya.

    2. chrisjdgrady
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Could be much much worse

    3. Ludo
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      The problem is that apart from Giroud and Sanogo, they're not lone forwards. If they played two up front though, they'd be fine. On the other hand, they're one injury/suspension away from having no substitute centre back, which with Laurent Koscielny is very likely to happen.

      1. chrisjdgrady
        • 12 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Maybe he'll keep Miquel ://////

    4. Zasa
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Hold your horses, Sanchez was MotM is the last 2 of Arsenal of games. He's been here for barely a month, schurrle you don't think he's irrelevant now? Throw in Walcott in the mix & you got a hell of a dynamic duo

  10. MJ6987
    • 15 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone else done the obligatory Welbeck FPL price check? 6.9

    Anyone interested?

    1. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I might be at some point (GW8)

    2. BurnySizz
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      O/

    3. Ludo
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      If he was a guaranteed starter, I'd definitely be interested. I think they just have too many options, though.

    4. Dr Dream
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Very...what's not to like?...

      1. MJ6987
        • 15 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        Nailedonness? Not sure

    5. Bolivian Seaman
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      I'm actually considering it 🙂

    6. Del Griffith
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Not yet but if he plays and looks good then its a no brainer he's straight in my team

    7. LOCO ABREU
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      no for now,will see

    8. Timtastic03
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      If he completes the move to Arsenal.

    9. XhakaCan
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      If he can convert chances into goals, he could be a bargain.

    10. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      GW8 should be perfect, time for him to bed in with his new team.

  11. LOCO ABREU
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Arsenal working on one deal. Interest in Welbeck but Utd would prefer he joins Spurs. Miyaichi, Miquel and Coquelin all likely to leave

  12. Siva Mohan
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Arsenal have agreed a £6m loan fee with Man Utd for striker Danny Welbeck. (Source: Mail)

    1. Not Irish
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Ridiculous if true. On both sides.

    2. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Obviously not true.

    3. MJ6987
      • 15 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      What is it with all these high profile loans?

  13. Dr Dream
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Lovely...Welbeck up top for Arsenal and it sound like nobody wants him for FPL....

    1. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      1. Dr Dream
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        He bet's abad press...When he deputised for RVP last season he did well for FPL...

    • 11 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Got lost in the bottom of the page 🙁 so here goes attempt 2 :

    Hey all, how does this team look for GW4:

    Gk: Krul (Mannone)
    Def: Clyne, Lovren, Shawcross (Collocini, Taylor)
    Mid: Sterling (V), Ramsey, Siggy, Fabregas (Chadli)
    Fow: Naismith, Rooney, Costa (C)

    Already on -4, 0.6 in the bank. Any urgent changes required? And are the starters good? Ty. xD

    1. LOCO ABREU
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

    2. Chu Young Ping Pong

      They're actually weakening Arsenal by selling them Welbeck.

    1. Frank Black
      • 12 Years

      Overrated but a pretty decent player.

    2. LOCO ABREU

    😀 this made me smile more than anything else today:
    Andrew in Richhill via text: Lionel Messi has just been spotted in the queue at the fish and chip van outside the Britannia Stadium. The word on the street is that he wants to finally dispel the myth that he can't do it on a wet and windy Tuesday night in Stoke.

  23. Assisting you all day
    • 13 Years

    Welbeck is 6.9 in fantasy football 🙂

    1. World XI
      • 13 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Could become a option. He banged them in for Sunderland on loan!

    2. XhakaCan
      • 11 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      Potential bargain if he signs + scores

  24. Lyonnais
    • 13 Years
    11 years, 3 months ago

    Thoughts about this one:

    Cahill ---> Ivanovic
    S.Davis ---> de Jong
    Jovetic ---> Naismith

    -4 Pts.

    1. applebonkers
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      11 years, 3 months ago

      maybe one of the new signings to replace rooney. other than that it's exisiting players. e.g puncheon/zaha and lukaku i like. the former to jump on, the latter to pre-empt

      1. Jafooli
        • 13 Years
        11 years, 3 months ago

        I' m looking for a decent 5.5m or less mid. What you reckon?

    don't support a big club so can't empathise but what happened to just supporting you own club? is this site really going to become a tribal bitching site or is it just down to it being deadline day and no FPL for a couple of weeks.
