Any advice on who to replace Chambers and Aguero with, with this team?
Heaton
Chambers - Hutton - Wisdom
Hazard - Sanchez - Yaya - Siggy
Aguero - Costa
Elliot - Naylor - Yun - Austin
2FT, 0.0 in the bank
Chambers leaving my team. Clichy or Azpi to replace him? Kolarov is a threat to Clichy and is Azpi's place under threat? He was subbed today.
He had a knock during game.
Thanks. Will watch that one. I think he's a more secure bet than Clichy
I am trying to get Zab is, Clichy is always a rotation risk.
Anyone know how serious is Aguero injury? Will he make a comeback next gameweek?
And Chamber and Costa price are not going down tonight innit?We might know tomorrow.
Word is 4-6 months
FFS 10 measly points. Which knee jerk(s) would you do?
Guzan (Eliot)
Terry Clyne Chambers (Wisdom Naylor)
Sanchez SIggy Downing Hazard ( Wanyama)
Costa Aguero Berahino.
1FT 0 ITB
Was set on Berahino out but that was before today's disaster.As if no one else is in the same boat.....
aguero to rooney, then bera to austin next week?
That is quite tempting
How many benched a cleansheet due to playing baines? The ncnb rule causing more problem here
there's no such thing as rules in FPL...no due...no essential...no coverage...there are just bad decisions and good ones
+1
Agree. Saw many comments about the "need" to play baines becos u spend 7m, attacking threat etc. Hope people will really consider again!
Benched wisdom but no Bainer here 🙁
Guess there are better logical options for u!
Terrible rule, just bench him if you have better options for the week.
It's so annoying Clichy isn't nailed on!!!
I know he's not nailed nailed, but he's pretty nailed. I've got him in around this point of the last two seasons and he's been amazing for me from now until the end of the season. He's first choice above Kolarov, yes he'll probably lose minutes but not loads and as long as you've got backup he's probably worth it.
Last Man Standing safety score is 14 before hits.
Wow thats low, feel better about my 16 now
A few Bony/Rooneys down there.
Whos better SHORT TERM :
A) YAYA : Leicester (A) , Palace (H) , WBA (A) , Burnley (H)
B) Sanchez : Newcaste (H) , Liverpool (A) , QPR (H) , West ham (A) ..
Read that line for A and you have the answer
Sanchez for his attacking prowess
def sanchez.. only one tough fixture, against west ham. and offers much more attacking threat
- Our resident physio's early thoughts on Aguero
Sergio Aguero, mechanism of injury update
Receiving the ball on the edge of the area, Aguero gets tackled, falls, then immediately gets back up and attempts to retrieve the ball again, at this point, his mechanical positioning is awkward and to reach he has to abduct at the hip rather than flex (a sideways motion, rather than a forward one), he is abducted almost fully, and plants his foot at full stretch. In this extended position the external rotation at the hip now needed to bring him back to a forward facing position causes an excessive rotation at the knee, stressing the medial collateral ligament (MCL) of the knee. Indeed, Sergio goes down and instantly holds his knee over his MCL.
The mechanism of injury is a concern, as this type of rotatory force to the knee, if excessive can damage the MCL, the cruciate ligaments and the meniscus, it’s called the ‘unhappy triad’ or ‘blown knee.’ Having said that, with no other player or impediment involved I don’t think the force was excessive enough to cause damage to the cruciates, but it could have tweaked the meniscus? So at this stage, until scans or further news we can only speculate. Having said that, as a purely remote observation from the perspective of a physio, Sergio’s injury might not be as serious as first feared and if an injury has indeed occurred, the signs are good that he has suffered a grade 1 or grade1-2 sprain to the MCL, which would mean anything from 2-5 weeks on the treatment table. It’s obviously difficult to tell and further news will almost certainly shine a clearer light as, having viewed the footage, it’s not out of the question that he may have just tweaked or stretched a few fibres and just misses the one gameweek
.
I’ll update again when there are more clues to go on
Lovely, thanks.
are you going to be doing an article on this? I always thought those were one of the best things on here
or one of the worst in fpl terms if you have the player
knowledge is power
wisdom is power
Suarez was power wisdom is just an on loan full back from Liverpool
thanks
Amiga > Atari
It's confirmed, he's a season keeper.
for the idiots like us
kun hurt his kneesy and cried all the way home
good write up btw
Hope this is true for his sake, in the form of his life.
Thanks Facer
I hope you are right Facer.
If it is just the MCL and the meniscus doesn't have a divot it could be very quick indeed given previous worries. MCL gets so much blood flow that it heals quite nicely without surgery even, often.
Nice writeup +1
Great insight, thanks.
I'll just jump in Facer and say that very fast excessive rotation can absolutely do the ACL without external involvement. MCL would be quite likely had he taken a bad tackle. I may be wrong but his foot clips the ground as he goes to run doesn't it? That could have also stressed/torn the ligaments.
"There are several ways noncontact ACL injuries occur, including stopping quickly, cutting sharply, and landing and changing direction with both feet planted. Most commonly in court sports, such as basketball, a pop is felt. This pop also refers to the way the athlete lands with both feet planted and out of control and feels a pop. It usually signals that the ACL is torn completely." That sums it up nicely though we couldn't hear any pop...
I really hope it's just an MCL injury though.
Both times I tore my ACL - it was non-contact - pushing off hard and twisting at the same time.
Hope he's OK too.Done it twice? Damn that's rough! Hope you recovered from them well!
Aye it is very common, my worry is after his initial fall he gets up so fast and is lunging for the ball again that he's gone and done an ACL tear. But I hope that isn't the case, certainly could be MCL instead.Yes - I did thanks Somalion mate.
First time skinny doctor couldn't demo instability....so consultant confirmed a complete rupture during arthroscopy to check what was wrong a full 2 weeks later !
I was taking rugby very seriously then, so on advice just built up the muscles to protect the scar tissue.
Got away with it for a couple of seasons, then it blew again so had a patella tendon graft re-fix. Still got back to playing - and although only 3rd team rugby since - I've done another 17 years of rugby and 5-a-side footy.
Am going to watch MOTD to see what it looks like.
This reminds me of my second tear....other leg for me - and was pushing off to tackle someone who had cut inside. Really feel for guys whenever this stuff happens.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyI_gXOE2bwThey are horrific injuries. Absolutely so glad to hear it.
Jesus you were in the wars, glad to hear the fix at least solved it even if it cut down the level you were playing at. That second tear must have been awful so, really tough stuff!Thanks mate.
Yeah - wasn't pleasant as I knew exactly what had happened 2nd time round - despite the club doctor saying it was just a 'sprain' !
To make it worse, my dad was reffing the match at the time..... I'd voluntarily dropped off the 1st team bench to get a full game for the 2nds and have the chance to be on the same pitch as him when he was visiting for the weekend. Not the luckiest decision 😯
Add in torn adductors (including a partial detachment), a few cracked ribs and a rubber nose from being punched once too often over the years...there's not many more to list 😀Wow, that is the shitist luck going! Worst I've had was torn ankle ligaments from an over the ball tackle. Glad I didn't give rugby a try, have a feeling it would have destroyed me!
Ouch.
That hurts. Trust you are still playing ?!Aye aye, few seasons ago. Actually tore them twice, second time on my second training session back. (Foot got stuck in a divot in the ground). But sure, can't keep us away from a sport we love 😉
Good man 🙂
You're a long time retired.........I am trying to stave it off as long as I can 😉Still an 11 aside player but aside from that I had to narrow down the sporting, was a tennis player as well as a few other sports but it was too much stress. Thankfully it has fully healed now! Certainly never had the bad luck with injuries you have!
I've had a bit more time to collect them to be fair !
44 years and counting....Ah sure I'm only a nipper 😀 may catch you on those injuries yet!!
yes it can, especially with the studs planted, which i outlined and this type of mechanism of injury, if excessive, would almost certainly involve the ACL, the medial meniscus (as it is also attched to the MCL) and the MCL (without being tackled) A tackle that stresses the MCL would have be be rotary or more likely valgus in terms of force direction.
As a very loose assessment, at this stage, I feel there is a good chance he got away ACL involvement...but it all depends on the instability of the knee with hands on assessmentsSorry missed that, I just meant that in terms of external involvement I'd nearly expect that to result in MCL over ACL (in a situation where a tackle has been taken).
I'm not sure if I saw correctly but I thought I saw them doing the anterior drawer tests etc. on him, my first thought was MCL as well I've just grown more concerned over the last couple of hours that it was ACL, he seems to have his feet planted and rotates strongly when getting up from the first challenge (if I remember correctly at least).
The one thing I was surprised with, though I have seen it before, is that they let him walk to the sideline and off the pitch. That would push me against thinking ACL, though it does happen occasionally.And as you rightly say, he looks like he's holding the region over the MCL.
Yes, you saw correctly 🙂 sort of...although it wasn't an anterior drawer test, it was a test for the ACL, if you did an anterior drawer test on a player with a grade 2 or 2-3 there is a chance you could aggravate the injury further...its an adaptation of the drawer test...its a passive movement looking for a sulcus sign...support the lower leg distally and proximally and gently flex, looking for a posterior translation of the tibial plateau on the femoral condyles...a much better test to start with if ACL is suspected
Phew, glad I can recognise it (even sort of!). All a fairly new world to me. Very interesting, I'm definitely going to have to remember that for the future as well! I'm glad someone with a hell of a lot more experience than myself has said it was possibly an MCL or Meniscal tear, they were the first two things I said when it happened but all the recent twitter rumblings of 4-6 months out had me worried about ACL. Hopefully it isn't (though I reckon we won't see him for a few weeks at least).
it was a great spot, not many would have seen that, suprised me 🙂
😯 High praise indeed! Somewhat chuffed with myself now 😉 😛
you're quite right to link the mechanism of injury with the ACL, shows good clinical thinking and in fairness you haven't said anything that is incorrect. Are you a student?
I am, initially from a science background but have went back to study medicine (more of a people person!) Chuffed to hear it 😀 Have just had a fairly extensive while of studying knee ligament injuries so was happy to get a bit of practice (happier to have someone like yourself who knows a lot more around though so I didn't make an ass of myself 😆 )
Where are you studying ?
Good luck with the course !In UCD in Ireland, tis a grand old college really!
Cheers, still can't believe I signed up for another 4 years of a degree to be honest 😆You stick to it.
Really hope it goes well.
Make the most of the uni years 😉Cheers mate, hopefully one day will be in the position to help out with all those rugby injuries 😉
good man, interesting piece of machinery, the body, no? I wouldn't say I know a lot more but I work in football, so its my field, if you'll excuse the pun 🙂
Absolutely! Incredible when you think about it, it really is. Oh awesome stuff so and the pun was grand 😉 Have had a few of the old football related injuries myself, never as interesting when they've happened to yourself 😀
spot on and a good insight, if you play sports or exercise regularly, you'll pick up injuries, which is by far the best way of learning about specific injuries , the signs and symptoms and types of pain and their treatment
That's exactly it, you learn the most from experience! A great example is even tonight, I've learned an entirely new test for ACL injuries I hadn't even been aware of, I much prefer experience and talking to someone in the know about these things, I find I learn much more 😀
him walking off might be a good sign....although again on my own experience - I could walk unaided with my knee part-flexed and braced tightly with co-contraction of hammies/quads - however it would really give way (+pain) if I relaxed a little and got to straightening it in my walking motion (Just that last bit of slight hyperextension).
*the poster admits to NO expertise other than own injuries ! 😉See I have known people to walk away with them so absolutely you could be right there. My only thinking is if they determined it was possibly an ACL it'd be odd that they had him walk away...
Absolutely. I hope you're right.
My first one was back in 1993....and it wasn't at a top flight football club either.
They'll know what they're doing.....hopefully.
(Better than with head injuries anyway !)Oh lord, I cannot fathom how they can let people with those head hits play on. Thankfully it is getting more under control now but feckin hell, really highly dangerous. An ACL isn't going to kill you, a bad head injury might!
Indeed.
I worry about the way they assume the best rather than the worst.
If it was someone's metatarsals I am sure they'd look like they were more concerned.
Beggars belief sometimes.Insanity really, finally something being done about it!
you could theoretically run with a ruptured ACL, you wouldn't get far before collapsing mind, but you could walk with an antalgic gait, which Aguero exhibited. But the physios would have gone through an on field assessment to see if he can continue (SALTAPS if you're interested) so they would have felt confident in allowing him to weight bear and they appeared to be contemplating allowing him to return at one point
It did look that way didn't it, that they were contemplating allowing him play on? Fascinating stuff Facer, this is very handy educationally 😀
That's interesting.
Always enjoy reading posts like yours.
Kudos to you both Facer, Somalion.it's also worth noting that Theo Walcott would have undergone the same tests and he was stretchered off with an ACL
Thanks.
Good post....I'm sure Norman Hunter never used to have this trouble. A couple of woodbine at half time and a quick pint used to work wonders in the old days.
Norman at full pelt wouldn't be able to keep up with kun if he had done both his acl's though!
Very appreciated. Thanks for the information
Which is better ?
A- Aguero > Rooney
B- Aguero > Benteke
C- Aguero + Dowing > Benteke + Yaya for - 4
D- Aguero + Boyd > Ings / Kane / Cisse + Yaya For - 4
Help Help Help Help
😀 😀12000 rise
hopefully all sunday games will get cancelledClean sheets galore on benches to wreck that thought.
including mine 😉
RvP could be a decent replacement for Aguero. On penalties as well. Hopefully LvG still favors him.
Rooney takes uniteds pens
meh
You just know this ll be boyd week again. Looked great tday too
Did he have his locks flowing?
Hehe.. had a shot saved n off the post was in dangerous positiins throughout
Anyone thinking aguero to bojan? 😉
Aguero to Bojan, Boyd to Yaya
Many will disagree but I think it's time to get Jovetic.
He will prosper with Aguero out and City have excellent fixtures. City won't stop scoring goals just because Aguero is out and Jovetic is likely to get a major share of those points.
Count me as the first to disagree. Why? Because hes not good. Simple as.
Lol do you watch football?
Yes. I do. A lot, actually. Hes not that good.
I have watched him play for Fiorentina a lot in the past and he is very good. Hope he proves that to you in the coming month.
I too have watched him in Italy. Not a lot, probably much less than you, but still some. And ive seen him play for City, most of his games here. And hes been good in exactly one of these games. Not really impressive considering his £30m price tag. I will actually be shocked if he steps up.
He actually reminds me of Lamela. Tries to be a fancy playstation player to hide his mediocrity.
Have you seen him for Montenegro or at Fiorentina? Very talented player imo, totally disagree with you. Not a prolific goalscorer but a great player.
Beeing the star man that everything goes through in a much weaker league is completely different than beeing 3rd or 4th fiddle behind world class players in a much tougher enviroment. Lamela dominated the Serie A for Roma, look at him. Even Borini dominated his last 6 months in Rome, and what has he ever done. I think its a common misconception that Jovetic is a great player.
Lamela had 1 good season, Jovetic has been doing it for a while imo. I think we'll have to agree to disagree, like I said though I don't think he is a great goalscorer but he offers a lot in overall play, will chip in with some goals and has great potential.
35 in 116 in a weaker league doesnt really impress anybody. Its fine if you want to disagree with me, my opinion doesnt serve as the correct answer. I`ll just leave you with your own opinion and let time do the rest.
And who cares about Fiorentina and Montenegro? Both teams play vs significantly weaker opposition almost all games, in in both teams he was/is the star player.
What do you mean who cares? How are you supposed to judge a player? Those are the teams he has played for.
Youre supposed to judge him on what he does now, in his current club. You cant justify him beeing great/a great talent by what he has done for Fiorentina and Montenegro when in 1,5 seasons for City hes done practically nothing to impress. And what he does for Montenegro against teams like Albania and Estonia shouldnt really matter.
man... watch better football, Jovetic is a great talent
I watch more football than most. Hes getting to that age where hes too old to be a talent and hes not good enough to be labeled as a class player. Better get off FM/Fifa m8 and face the reality.
ok
you will see in coming weeksOr its you that will see. And i shall relish the correctness of my assumption and laugh, thinking about you.
relax psycho
You don't like dzeko?
Like Jovetic more.
Would help if he didn't get injured every other game.
is he Fit to play ??
Should be next week.
What about Dzeko?
Prefer Jovetic and I know Pellegrini does as well.
Or Dzeko with Silva behind him?
Boy did you get outta jail today with that Costa (c) fail followed by Agueros cameo
😉I know 😐 was scared to check FPL after the games today, only dropped by 1 but losing ground to #1
May be but I think it's Jovetic's time to shine.
You think he'll start consistently?
With Dzeko and Silva coming back and Navas on form, there's always the option of 451.Navas on form? First name out of the current XI (ignoring Mangala)
I think Jovetic will be a starter now if fit.
will he be fit for next game, mate ?
I think so.
great player
So, Cisse is really cheap, but why so few minutes?
He's still not 100%.
Cheers mate. Is he ACON bound too?
Not sure, did they qualify?
Yeah they did, just checked. He's Senegalese isn't he?
Looks like it then.
i think he is off to ACON, yep
Does anyone know why Ageuro was replaced with Pozo rather than Dzeko? I know Dzeko came on later for Pozo but I would have thought he'd have been first choice.
Is Dzeko completely out of favour with Pellegrini?Dzeko's first game back from injury and he has Roma to consider on Wednesday having lost Aguero. I think it was tactical/caution to bring on Pozo
Don't think he was ready for (almost) 90 minutes
Dzeko returning from injury, he probably didn't want to give him more than 30 mins or so ideally
didnt think dzeko could last full game
so in case needed to make other subs then best to do that waydzeko wasnt fit enough to play that long, they only wanted to give him half hour. so that's why he was brought on later
Wow, thanks for the quick replies.
Dzeko looks like a good replacement for Ageuro if he's gonna be out for a while. Will await injury news
Krull
Elliott
Moore
Chambers
Fabregas
Austin
Aguero
Where to start?
2ft 1.2 itb and boy have the fantasy Gods construed against me.
🙁3 transfers & you're sweet.
Yea I have the Wc intact but I think a -4 should sort it.
Same story here but Albrighton, Chadli, Duff instead.
Krul -> Guzan
Elliot (Keep)
Moore (Keep)
Chambers (Keep)
Fabregas -> Yaya
Austin (Keep)
Aguero -> No idea, I'm in the same positon but I really do not want to take a hit
You're fecked.
Wildcard time! 🙂Nah, 3 transfers like Mr Magic said. 4 point hit will be the norm anyway.
Krul > Foster / Guzan
Chambers > Zabaleta
Aguero > RVP / Rooney / Falcao (let's face it, whoever scores the most Monday night!)I might forgo keeper:
Aguero/Fabregas/Chambers> Costa/9.7/Baines -4
What you think?Is di Maria likely to be back - a possibility for your 9.7 mystery man ?
Krul, Chambers and Aguero out
and still europe to come
Krul
Chambers
Saylor
Cork
Fabregas
Aguero
I'm slightly better off than you HVT....why doesn't that make me feel better ? 🙁
Still trying to cling to my WC this week though....
May well start with one or two transfers then see how Europe goes......
Will Kun drop this week and how many hit's will be roughly taken? I think it's important not to take a hit this week. I've taken -8 hit 2 weeks in a row
If confirmed out for 4-6 weeks or more his price will drop rapidly (max 0.3 in a GW) just like ADM
Been thinking how much id like ivan in my team recently, aguero to Rooney would free up funds to get him in at the expense of chambers. Thoughts? Would mean taking a hit but think they'll be plentiful this week tbh. Means keeping Austin and fab too
decent moves
Best defender up to 5.7 not from chelsea or swans?
cresswell
Good shout thanks
np
Soton and West Ham look good
Those doing the popular Fab --> Yaya transfer , have you got sanchez ?
Is this a wise choice? fab has served me well from the start for 9m. Yaya is much more expensive and less consistent
Im benching
Same, benching. Yaya way too expensive and not vfm in my opinion
I replied back to your message dude check it out please 🙂
Yeah I have Sanchez
Guzan, McCarthy
Baines, Bertrand, Chambers, Wisdom, Moore
Hazard, Sanchez, Sigurdsson, Chadli, Boyd
Aguero, Costa, Austin
2 FT, 0.2 ITB, hovering just outside the top 1k
Assuming Aguero is out long term...
A) Aguero, Chambers > Rooney, Terry
B) Aguero, Chambers, Chadli > Bony/Lukaku, Yaya, Yun (-4)
Kun + Fab -> Costa + Yaya
4pts, yay or nay?have you sanchez or haz ?
Yeh got both + Roon as my other big hitters
Facer out of hiding after Sturridge-gate 😉
Get yer pitchforks lads!
Yes or No
Aguero Siggy --> Costa Yaya (Already have Bony)Anyone considering Nasri? He hasn't done anything yet this season but looked threatening today.
he's a nightmare to own, i've had him sporadically during the past few seasons. doing nothing and looking threatening is exactly what you're in for 🙂
He had a good run at the end of last season when the fixtures were good. I'm thinking he could do well against the crap opposition coming up.
wont silva push him out wide again
Yes, but we don't know when he will be back.
Are people selling or holding Chambers?
Debuchy back soon so rotation beckons when he returns from ban
I'm thinking of selling for a Chelsea defender, I've not been able to get one in yet. Will have cash for Ivan so really considering him, he's due one of his monster hauls soon surely!
Good point prob bets to sell.
I dont have N Taylor he is prob best value defenderThink i might just give him a slap tell him to sort himself out
