Injuries

The Treatment Table – Gameweek 4

As always on a Monday afternoon, we scour the Premier League treatment rooms to assess the players who picked up injuries over the weekend action.

Arsenal
Mathieu Debuchy was forced off with an ankle injury in Saturday lunchtime’s draw with City. Arsene Wenger is set to address the press later today amid fears the Frenchman could be sidelined for months.

Burnley
The Clarets’ forward Danny Ings was subbed off with a hamstring problem in the weekend draw at Palace, while Matty Taylor missed out altogether due to injury, allowing George Boyd to make his debut on the left of midfield.

Chelsea
Didier Drogba missed the Blues’ home win over Swansea after injuring an ankle during training.

Crystal Palace
Neil Warnock confirmed Joe Ledley sustained a hip injury in the Palace dugout and was unable to take to the field against Burnley. The Palace boss also revealed Wilfried Zaha was lucky to make the match after picking up an ankle injury in training.

Everton
Sylvain Distin missed the Toffees’ win at West Brom due to a dead leg, though Roberto Martinez confirmed earlier today that the defender is on course to feature against Wolfsburg in the Europa League on Thursday.

Leicester
Foxes number one Kasper Schmeichel missed Saturday’s win at Stoke after sustaining a minor knee problem on international duty with Denmark.

Stoke
The Potters’ left-back Erik Pieters was forced off with an unspecified injury in the latter stages of Saturday’s home loss to Leicester.

Swansea
Jordi Amat is set for knee scans after picking up a problem in the weekend loss to Chelsea – the defender left Stamford Brigde with his leg in a brace.

Tottenham
Jan Vertonghen was omitted from the weekend trip to Sunderland after picking up a minor muscle injury.

West Brom
Stephane Sessegnon was ruled out of the weekend home loss to Everton after sustaining an eye injury in training.

    Who to sell first.... Chester or Bruce? 😀

    I bought them both thinking if Chester didn't play, Bruce would. So much for that, eh Dawson! 😕 😆

    Chester>Naylor looks the perfect transfer then, scrap those Boyd plans.

      I'm going uber flair

      Terry ➡ Duff

      1. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 8 days ago

        Very nice, always backed the uber defence, and the lot I have at the minute have some lovely fixtures if they can scrape thought them.

        Why not Moore? LEI have better fixtures IMHO

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years

          I already have him, got 6 lovely points from him this week

          They're pretty similar.

          Leicester are a bit more attacking, and for the easier fixtures they will push forward more, leaking more goals. Burnley are a bit more tight at the back, and will settle for a 0-0 or 1-0 if they manage to score.

    Wakey?

  3. LewanGOALski

    Now I'll have to use a transfer for a Chester > Naylor move at some point 😐

    dawson is a terrible defender. Chester might as well retire now that he has lost his place to that mug

    1. Pepin - RIP Absinthe
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      First Davies, and now Dawson. I think Chunky Steve likes this type of lanky, slow, old-fashioned CB.

    2. goriuanx
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      He's a leader as is Curtis Davies. Hull will be much more organised.

    3. LOCO ABREU

      agree, chester retirement,price frozen in fpl, no price drop 😎

    I did Ramsay > Di Maria last weekend.
    Would it be worth doing Sterling > Ramsay for this weeks games?

  8. The Dinkum Donuts
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 8 days ago

    Could Felipe Luis be a good UCL option at 5? Bound to be given a chance at some point and it seems the perfect time for Mourinho to rest one of the other defenders with City away next.

    1. The Iron Tulip
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      He should get a run out

      Very similar to mine. I'm thinking of Sterling > Ramsey for this weekend.

  12. Ice

    Ok, this is my team…

    Forster
    Cahill,Jones,Dier
    Sterling,Rambo,Fab,Siggy
    Costa,Balo,Naismith

    I'm very tempted to WC this week, to get baines, ADM and possibly upgrade Naismith….
    Should I WC?

    I used this to predict a rise for Moreno naismith sterling SIGGY AND WISDOM 4 saturday, but siggy n wisdom didn't
    At the same time Guzan finally rose, n I saw something more
    Hutton 264579 (1*150k)
    Guzan 169606 (1*150k)
    Note that both are in sub 4.5 bracket
    Also Vlaar had 200k transfers in when he rose...
    ADM app. 280k on Sunday morning = 1*150k
    He might have been protected being new....

    Thanks in Advance.

    1. Moody1000

      Begovic GK not De gea

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years

      Sure you want 3 utd already now? Thinking def/gk and mid or forward

      1. Moody1000
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 8 days ago

        Begovic is the GK and i could go for mirallas instead of herera but they looked very strong last game.

    First draft of UCL team: Where id I go wrong?

    Fabiano/Roberto

    Caceres/Moreno/Luisao/Luis/Rakitskiy

    Sterling/Kroos/Busquets/Xhaka/Melo

    Costa/Jackson Martinez/Ronaldo

    1. LOCO ABREU

      don't like the mids just steling is good

      1. LOCO ABREU
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 8 days ago

        only one good is sterling

  16. Winston.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 days ago

    I have a strong feeling that Sanchez and DiMaria are the ones to own, prefarably sooner than later....
    Ramsey and Sterling need to go? Any opinions?

    1. SC not pearls before swine
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      I disagree vehemently. Ramsey and Sterling are still 1a and 1b in terms of elite midfield prospects IMO. Sanchez and Di Maria are in the next tier.

      1. SC not pearls before swine
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 8 days ago

        That said, follow your gut, you'll be happier if you succeed and less miserable if you fail 😉

      take some Andrews for that bad feeling u got there kid!!

  17. 1569Tippins
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 8 days ago

    Mannone
    Clyne Koscielny Fonte
    Sigurdsson Ramsey Fabregas Schurrle
    Aguero Dzeko Rooney

    Subs- Hamer, Hutton, Moore, Marney

    2FT's and £0 in the bank... what moves should I be making this week??

    Players on my ship list are Schurrle and Dzeko in particular due to their lack of game time

  18. The Iron Tulip
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 8 days ago

    Most likely to score tonight out of Jelly and Hernandez?

  19. Porkchops Johnson
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 days ago

    Need to get Costa in to my team somehow, not owning him is ruining my season.
    Ditch Aguero or Rooney?

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      Kun

    2. Costa in Wengerland
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      Aguero for now

    3. Porkchops Johnson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      Tyty, was thinking the same. He just doesn't seem to be worth the price tag atm

  20. Costa in Wengerland
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 8 days ago

    Some one said earlier
    Chester goal + Cleaniee + 3 Bps

    Sorry guy 😉 This is FPL..

    Just brought in Chester ( 0pts) for Terry's -1 UFPL
    Go Me 😎

    1. VougieDipond
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      I brought chester in for PVA -1 nice moves

  22. johnbarnes
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 8 days ago

    Chester>Naylor
    or
    Chester>Bertrand
    ?

    1. Rödallegabomb ᴿᴮ
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      I would want both but Naylor, then get Bertrand after if possible.

  23. fitzy
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 8 days ago

    Chester + Debuchy in my team. Time to make a defensive transfer then I guess after the game.

    Bright side: Moores 6 in for chester.

    1. LOCO ABREU
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      if no chester cameo

  24. VougieDipond
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 8 days ago

    no Chester. What kind of BS is that? Dawson is utter crap

    1. Winston.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      Dawson was nro.1 in Fpl after the first game week...so at least played the first week well. On the bench in Spurs game...

      1. Winston.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 8 days ago

        But agree, you're right, Chester should start

  25. Valar(Keith)
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 8 days ago

    So my defense is in tatters.. Should i just end my misery and play the WC? or just continue fighting fires? team not bad for this week on paper though Clyne is probably my only saving grace in defense 🙂 ...

    Krul
    CAULKER TERRY Clyne
    Eriksen Ramsey Sterling Siggy
    Rooney Costa Welbeck

    Elliott DEBUCHY CHESTER ALBRIGHTON
    1 million in the bank

    Thinking either WC and end my misery
    OR
    Debuchy to Duff (and maybe Terry to Baines since Baines looks the only defender capable of paying a hit)

    1. rozzo
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      I have the same defence but have Ivan instead of Terry. Lack of clean sheets has been annoying but who else is there? Newcastle and QPR have at least on paper a chance of a clean sheet this week

    2. JK - Cønt ⭐
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      I want Caulker out as well, but I'll probably hold one more week as I haven't yet figured out who to replace him with, so I'll play him v Stoke and hope for a goal

    3. LOCO ABREU
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      only debuchy to duff, team is fine!

    4. Valar(Keith)
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      think i'll just take the hit with option 2) and get rid of Chester for Moore in a few weeks. Caulker gets a stay of execution for a bit looks like

    5. Valar(Keith)
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      Yup.. thanks all. will do debuchy to duff and just log off fpl for till friday.. may rage WC here! 🙂

  26. aapoman
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 8 days ago

    Is Rose nailed on?

  27. rozzo
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 days ago

    Is it safe to wait on my Debuchy to Clyne transfer? Prices are not likely to change any time soon are they?

    1. fitzy
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      Clyne won't change anytime this week. Debuchy is probably not today but could be a drop any day this week. Or he could stay 5.5 as we don't fully know how flags change transfers needed this year.

      1. rozzo
        • 11 Years

    Right in Ufpl would you take Lovren 4 points out for C Davies - already on 110 points
