Injuries

The Treatment Table – Gameweek 5

Our Monday afternoon regular is rolled out once again, as we scour the Premier League treatment rooms to assess the players who picked up injuries over the weekend action.

Aston Villa
The Midlands outfit were hit hard by a virus prior to the weekend home defeat to Arsenal. Paul Lambert confirmed Darren Bent and Nathan Baker missed out altogether, whilst Ashley Westwood also failed to feature – he was initially named in the starting XI but was forced to drop out. Andi Weimann was also subbed off at the break after struggling to overcome the same problem.

Burnley
Clarets midfielder David Jones was subbed off after 86 minutes of the weekend goalless draw against Sunderland with “a minor thigh injury”.

Chelsea
Ramires was withdrawn on 63 minutes having suffered a knee injury. Early reports suggest that the Brazilian could face a term of absence with the midfielder undergoing scans early this week.

Liverpool
Brendan Rodgers has confirmed Philippe Coutinho missed the trip to West Ham due to a groin problem, while Jordan Henderson is being assessed after picking up a hip complaint.

Man United
Jonny Evans was withdrawn after just 30 minutes of United’s loss at Leicester with a leg problem and, post-match, Louis van Gaal admitted:

“I don’t know how bad Evans is. We have to wait for a scan tomorrow but he is on crutches.”

Newcastle
Cheick Tiote will be assessed after limping off towards the end of Saturday’s home draw with Hull.

QPR
The problems are building up in midfield for Harry Redknapp. Joey Barton and Jordon Mutch were passed fit for Saturday’s home clash with Stoke after heading into the match as doubts due to hamstring problems – both players were subsequently subbed off with a recurrence of the injuries, whilst Sandro missed out altogether due to a knee complaint.

Southampton
Both Maya Yoshida and James Ward-Prowse were forced off with ankle problems in the weekend win at Swansea. New boy Toby Alderweireld missed Liberty clash with a minor hamstring problem but is expected to be back next weekend.

Sunderland
Steven Fletcher and Ricardo Alvarez missed the Black Cats’ trip to Burnley due to a calf complaint and knock respectively, though the latter has since been passed fit for tomorrow’s Capital One clash with Stoke. Gus Poyet has also revealed that Emmanuel Giaccherini was forced off on his first start of the season and will be assessed:

“Giaccherini had plenty of energy, going between the lines and I think he was one of our best players. That was the idea of playing him; to create that little bit more. He was thereabouts, so it’s not bad from him. Unfortunately, he took a big knock which we need to check today.”

Swansea
Dwight Tiendalli missed the weekend home defeat to Southampton with a slight groin problem.

West Brom
Giorgos Samaras missed out through injury as the Baggies picked up a 1-0 win at Spurs yesterday.

West Ham
Midfielder Cheick Kouyate is set to undergo scans after picking up a groin problem against Liverpool on Saturday evening – the summer signing stayed on the field after Sam Allardyce had made all three substitutions.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Which pair would you bring in for Naismith and Ramsey:

    Welbeck and Herrera

    or

    Lukaku and Delph?

    Cheers.

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

      A

    2. Gigging Order
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      I would rather keep if those were the options.

    3. rickardinho
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      are you for real?

    4. Mojo Rojo
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      Keep Ramsey IMO... If you want rid of Naismith go Vardy

  2. DIegoCosta19
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 8 days ago

    ozil walcott sanchez ramsey. all great midfielders for GW8 onwards

    1. Exeter Gently
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      yes! in time for some great fixtures

    2. money face bandwagon
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      the template di maria fab sterling..who out will be the question

      the 3 of them look to continue their good form and its tough to forcefully take out 1 of them..unless u found enough cash to upgrade siggy..another option is to play 352 but there are good 3rd strikers like pelle/ulloa/welbeck

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

        i have fab-ramsey-sterling-siggy-tadic atm, and after southampton's good fixtures i will look to upgrade tadic>walcott and potentially also siggy. Currently have 3.4m itb but 1/3rd of that will go towards getting Baines in.

    Looks like 28 is the safety score in Last Man Standing this week.

    1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      That's relief!

      1. Da Kril
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 8 days ago

        +57! whew

  4. DIegoCosta19
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 8 days ago

    If Siggy blanks again you taking him out?

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

      No. Other priorities.

    2. money face bandwagon
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      for who is the question.

    3. Baggers
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      No chance, as close to a season keeper as there is, scores well and value allows you to do so much more with your team

    4. Mata-Is-The-Juan
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      The question is who comes in? For his price, I am willing to give him 3 more weeks.

    5. Kerrazy
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      no

    6. DIegoCosta19
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      i reckon downgrading rooney to welbeck (or if you want pelle or ulloa) and bringing in walcott for siggy might be decent. if he blanks for 2 more weeks.

    7. Parm
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      Nah

    8. Doolittle
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      I might ditch him to allow me to keep Alexis, and go:

      ADM/Alexis/Sterling/Fab
      Costa/Pelle/Welbeck

  5. Daniel Levy- Not the Chairm…
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 8 days ago

    Would you do at some point:
    Rooney and Ramsey --> Di Maria and Welbeck

    1. Gigging Order
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      Yes, but prefer Pelle.

    2. Exeter Gently
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      maybe ramsey to di maria if you can afford it alone

  6. Toonzie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 8 days ago

    Good to go this gw?

    Bego
    Clyne - Pva - Moreno
    ADM - Fab - Sterling - Siggy
    Costa - Rooney - Pelle

    Bench: Gilks, Moore, Marney, Colo

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

      Yes looks good.

    2. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      Very nice. I would not play Moreno.

    3. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      Looks really good, apart from Moreno. Liverpool would concede against a Sunday league team atm.

  7. begbie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    10 years, 8 days ago

    Is Herrera a poor man's Di Maria Fantasy wise, or would you consider it?

    1. Gigging Order
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      No way for me.

    2. Daniel Levy- Not the Chairm…
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      Don't consider, may be forced to play a more conservative role with United conceding so much. Might have to play more defensively minded.

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

        good point

      2. begbie
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        10 years, 8 days ago

        Yeah, that's an exellent point.

    3. Mata-Is-The-Juan
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      Can't back it up with in-dept stats but he does seem to have made a habit of showing up late in the box ---and usually has pretty good chances I think.

      Don't look to him to create ADM-like chances but should United continue to attack as they have these last 2 games, I think he'll have fairly consistent results.

      All that said, ADM seems to be more than justifying his price so I'd just do him and save myself agonizing over not owning him.

  8. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 8 days ago

    This is the plan:

    GW 06:

    Begovic
    Chambers, Clyne, Ivanovic
    Mirallas, Ramsey, Sterling, Hazard
    Costa(c), Welbeck, Pellè(vc)

    Green; Davis, N Taylor, Dummett ... 0FT 1.2 ITB

    Any views? 🙂

    1. The Sarjeant
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      Your teams pretty close to the Scout Picks I just posted lol, so I think it's great 😉

      1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 8 days ago

        😀 I am looking at those now.

        1. The Sarjeant
          • 11 Years
          10 years, 8 days ago

          Couldn't give us an up vote, could yah? 😉

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 14 Years
            10 years, 8 days ago

            Maybe!

    2. Gigging Order
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      I would be considering Naylor over Chambers.

      1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 8 days ago

        Not this time, GO. Thanks. 🙂

        1. Gigging Order
          • 13 Years
          10 years, 8 days ago

          🙂

    3. Daniel Levy- Not the Chairm…
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      Good team. Maybe Naylor over Chambers but up to you. No point taking a hit.

      1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 8 days ago

        Sunderland are on the improve.

    4. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      Looks great but United attacking assets might be useful (but not essential).

      1. Doosra - ☭DeclanMyGenius…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 8 days ago

        Cheers. Not this week, of all weeks! 😉

    Tough call this gw, who to play

    Bego/Krul
    Cahill Clyne Lovren/Moore
    Sterling Siggy/Downing Ramsey Silva
    Costa Rooney Ulloa

  10. The Sarjeant

  11. The Finnisher
    • 13 Years
    10 years, 8 days ago

    Ramsey falls below Tadic on the Watchlist. Harsh.

    And strange.

    1. Exeter Gently
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      he looks genuinely shocked of the news in your grav

    2. rickardinho
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      Whats odd about that. Tadic has been playing really well and has a much better fixture

      1. The Finnisher
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 8 days ago

        It's not the Scout picks, it's suppose to be for the next 4-6 weeks.

        Ramsey has been playing average and is still outscoring Tadic. Not even on the same level for FPL IMO.

        Tadic is nowhere near top 5 midfield picks for me.

  12. FPL Daniel
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 8 days ago

    Sticky the Welbeck discussion on previous page mods. A great one. Or include it in Communitty round up

    1. Exeter Gently
      • 10 Years

      have link?

    2. applebonkers

  13. Les Bleus

    Debuchy out for three months? Welcome to my team Chambers in GW8

    1. Baggers
      • 15 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      haha just posted that too 🙂

      1. Les Bleus
        • 13 Years
        10 years, 8 days ago

        Great minds think alike 😉

    2. rickardinho
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      As a chambers owner from GW1 I can say I'm not disappointed by this development 🙂

  14. Game of Stones
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 8 days ago

    Picking a captain this week will be a mare! Was set to have Costa, but think he might be rested now, so it will probably be between Aguero and Di Maria....

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

      Costa will have a week off now so will play on Saturday IMO

      1. Game of Stones
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 8 days ago

        Think he might save him for CL next tuesday, need a win there

  15. RoysCallerAnne
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    10 years, 8 days ago

    Did my 2 FTs early this week for the first time this season.
    Nothing to worry about with the League Cup, rotation galore for that.

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

      How's the poo clapping on the bench with Wanyama going? 😉

      1. RoysCallerAnne
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        10 years, 8 days ago

        😀

    2. rickardinho
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      Yep same here. Was planning on only using 1FT this week on Friday night but there were too many opportunities to pass up.

  16. Baggers
    • 15 Years
    10 years, 8 days ago

    Debuchy out for 3 months Chambers looks good buy for GW8 onwards....

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

      Yep

    2. Parm
      • 12 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      Yep, hopefully I will have a free spare to do Rio -> Chambers at that point.

    i have 1 more ft and 1.4m in the bank. if no other pressing transfer (other than Krul), would love to save and have 2 ft next week. what would you do ?

    1. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      Save. You will value those 2 FTs.

    Begovic (Krul)

    Any suggestions?

    1. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      You must have loads in the bank?

        Not too much, 1.4M

    1. applebonkers
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      he's my favourite player in the league, this is excellent marketing

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

        I knew Mesut - and all the charm that goes with him - would win over the masses.

  20. Sweden11
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 8 days ago

    Is it only me or is welbeck great value until giroud returns? Btw anyone knows how long he will be out?

    1. Les Bleus
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      Until Christmas is my guess.

    2. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      Where you hiding - it AINT only you .

    3. The Finnisher
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      Obviously it's not just you.

      Giroud is gone for long enough to not have to worry about his return.

      1. Sweden11
        • 10 Years
        10 years, 8 days ago

        Thinking of downgrading hendo to 4.5-5(who??) and then: naismith to welbeck, all next week or after the chelsea game. Sounds good?

  21. chilli con kone
    • 11 Years
    10 years, 8 days ago

    If you had Moreno would you keep or sell?

    1. Les Bleus
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      I'm keeping for at least a 3-4 more GW's

    2. RoysCallerAnne
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      I sold him last night.

    3. Gigging Order
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      Keep.

    4. Debauchy
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      Keeping next 2 at least

      1. Manu5
        • 11 Years
        10 years, 8 days ago

        Sold for Bertrand last night. Don't see the cs potential

    5. The Finnisher
      • 13 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      Keeping only because I wanted Di Maria.

      He won't be there much longer.

      1. Mohit20

        yes he was

    2. rickardinho

    chambers @ GW 8. Get in me team

  24. CCaddy
    • 10 Years
    10 years, 8 days ago

    Best 5.8 or less midfieder?

    1. Harry Ball Bag™⚽⚽…
      • 14 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      Boyd or Quinn

    2. Concrete
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      10 years, 8 days ago

      Downing but check fixtures
      Diame but poor fixtures
      Airfield has decent stats and takes pens I think. Good fixtures too

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

    Right so if I'm waiting till GW8 to lose Naimsith to Welbeck there's just no point in a hit to do any of these is there

    a) Chadli to a budget mid (wish I'd just kept Marney over Chadli)

    b) Caulker to Berty

    c) DDG to Forster

    1. Snevitz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      should be until Debuchy is back

      but he already has 3 yellows

        What about this Bellerin guy who played CL?

        And? A player needs 10 to get suspended as far as I'm aware. Very annoying that he keeps picking them up though

    What do people think about Aguero? I was thinking of transferring Rooney out but worried about rotation….. What do you guys think?
    Also I think that Chambers is a bargain, as Debuchy out for three months!

    woah, aguero is only a yellow card ahead of rvp since getting back in the starting lineup

      ?

      I know what you're trying to say, but RVP had Burnley, Leicester and QPR to Aguero's Chelsea, Arsenal and Stoke, and he's also 0.5 more so it's not as if value makes it impressive.

    could walcott coming back affect welbecks gametime? having walcott sanchez ozil and ramsey is very attacking.
