Everyone is getting injured.....

Awaiting the Aguero post any moment now......

I wish people would stop mentioning "Aguero" and the word "injury".

Krul could be injured.

Most people have Elliott as sub if they had Krul. I plan to pull him out this week anyway.

Would have thought most had Krul as part of a rotation policy

KevIRL wrote: »

Krul has 17.8% ownership, Elliot has 3.2%. Something not adding up there Lemlin....

That aside, it makes Elliot worthy of consideration for any wildcarders

Looks like the board here isn't indicative of the norm. I thought a number of us had gone Krul/Elliott.

I did but plan to go to Forster this week anyway.

Welbecks picked up an ankle injury but hopefully be fine for hull game.

Yeah hodgson said it's nothing serious, but I'll be monitoring it.

Tim Krul

Newcastle United can confirm that Tim Krul has returned from international duty after suffering an elbow injury. The Dutch goalkeeper has now been assessed by the Magpies’ medical staff and underwent a scan on Monday

RED ALERT! Diago Costa has picked up a knock:(

More like a light yellow alert I'd say!

Morning papers will report that Sturridge suffered a calf injury on his return to training and will be out for another month

@JimmyRiceWriter 6m6 minutes ago
Sturridge could miss seven games.

Lambert at 7.0M could become v interesting if he continues to get the nod over Balo...

Not unless he picks up a bit of form. He's been woeful so far.

Yeah but if he gets a run... That makes a world of difference for strikers... Very respectable points returns the last 2 seasons, and playing for a team now that statistically create more chances. No peno duty tho as long as Gerrard is fit!

22 goals (+ 6penos) from his 2 years in the Prem with Southampton wouldn't fill me with massive confidence.
While Liverpool might create more chances I don't think they're the chances he would thrive on. Can't see Liverpool changing their play to revolve around him.

I don't rate him at all, he made the most of his chance and chances with Southampton but any striker that only cuts the grade at the top level as they approach 30 isn't someone I could see leading the attack for a top team. There's a big list of mid price strikers that I would pick ahead of him anyway.

Add in 19 assists. Its all conjecture for now, but if it happens he nails down a starting spot there's great potential there. I certainly wouldn't be discounting him

Is it the new year before the target of 5 resets to 10?

31st December.

A long way for those lads until then.

Lemlin wrote: »

Can he be believed though? He burned me last season saying Terry was out for the season. He only missed one game iirc then!

Has anybody actually seen or read the quotes where he said Costa wouldnt be fit?

I'm after doing a search around and while several articles such as this one say 'Costa to Miss United Game' the only quotes are:

​“Loic has a muscular injury. I don’t know the dimension and I’m not worried. We don't cry on injuries. When a player is injured, play another one."

"It's our philosophy, we don't cry. We just think one injury means an opportunity for somebody else.

"We will prepare for the game [against Manchester United] Thursday, Friday, Saturday to try to be at our best possible level against an opponent which we respect very, very much."

The headlines seem to be based on the Chelsea tweet last night, but I've yet to see Jose say anything publicly. So do we base a decision on the interpretation/assumptions/mind games of the person doing the Chelsea Twitter??

Mourinho was asked about Costa and said, "I don't talk about injured players"

And why he hasn't trained since last Thursday? Fair play to Mourinho if it's all a mind game

Has it been confirmed that he definitely isn't training? I still stick by my point that Mourinho put pressure on Spain to give Costa a two week break by not playing him. This didn't happen.

Mourinho, IMO, and I may be totally incorrect, is now giving Costa this two week break ahead of their tougher fixtures.

I suspect this as well. Plus hes having a bit of fun while he's at it.

But its impossible to be sure.

And Mourinho said at the end of last month that Costa was doing 'almost nothing' in training due to his injury, yet he then played the full 90 against Arsenal and scored a goal.

And the full 90 against Everton and scored two when he was supposedly struggling!

By the way. Theo played 45mins for Arsenal u21 side on Friday last, trained with the CL squad yesterday and could be in line to feature against Sunderland this weekend.

I wonder is the Burnley game in GW10 too early to consider him FPL wise? 1.3 cheaper than Sanchez....

The Costa plot thickens.....

This has more twists and turns than an episode of 24!!

Edit: 3 consecutive posts in a thread = need a break from FPL......goodnight!
