    That's good news in the time being for astute FF players.

    I'm waiting to see if there's anything concrete on an earlier return date for Mannone. He was projected to be 3 months min which would have been Xmas. I'd fear an earlier return and price drops for Pickford.

    Contemplating a premium keeper in which case a non playing #2 would do.

    I was looking at this route too, but the obvious premium keeper is probably Cech (I don't want a double up with Man U defenders). He has an unfortunate habit of getting injured though, so am a bit concerned if I do go with an non-playing 2nd keeper.

    Courtois might be an option I suppose?

    He is worse than Cech for injuries

    Looking at Cech too. They should get clean sheets from those fixtures. Not sure I'll be able to spare the extra 1m over Foster though.

    I think if you go the 5.5m one-keeper route you just gotta accept that if he gets injured you're gonna need to use a transfer.

    Pickford pulls out of u21 game with a thigh injury
    maybe Sunderland will be able to push through an emergency loan now ........

    More likely Sunderland got him to pull out of the U21 game so their only goalkeeper doesn't get injured!

    Its billed as precautionary and he's expected to be fit for GW4 so possibly that they don't want him risked given their lack of cover.

    Is there a chance of an additional suspension if the appeal fails?

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    Extra game I think if if they decide that it was a frivolous appeal.

    Yeah I'm quite happy to have played my WC given that state of flux many players appear to be in.

    Ah what happened to the good old days when injured players were injured and players facing bans were just banned.

    Yeah I thought that. Goes back to the days when if a player appealed they freed themselves up for next game while appeal was heard, so clubs could use that to effectively defer the suspension by 1 game if it suited. Hence the rule on frivolous appeals.

    It's always sorted out, appeal and all, within days now. The Gray one for off pitch stuff being different obviously.
