Injuries and doubts rolling in thick and fast now

Yeah it's a pain!

I don't know who to bring in for Carvalho...already have Evra, Shawcross, Dunne and A. Cole.

Also have a midfield problem, Hunt isn't playing this week and now Fabregas is injured. Don't really want to transfer Fabregas unless I can replace him with someone who'll bring in points. Arshavin was that person but he's injured too!

GGAAAHHHH!

NabyLadistheman · 15-12-2009 02:37PM

Whats up with Carvalho is he defo out?

Johner · 15-12-2009 02:37PM

Arshavin and Fabregas will play I'd say.

A back injury is something that they wo't want to aggrivate. I would be more optimistic about Arshavin playing though.

Down to 9 players for today if Fabs is rested. Never have I relied on my forward line as much as I have tonight.

Drogba. Hatrick please
Rooney. Hatrick please
Defoe. Pull the f'n finger out please

15-12-2009 02:42PM

This is mad.. Gonna get home from work and be glued to fantasy for 2 hours before deciding my transfers. 5 people not playing plus the arshavin doubtful.

Could be a wildcard week.

Mars Bar · 15-12-2009 02:44PM

Okay, I'm thinking out loud here but opinions would be welcome.

I'm thinking of bringing in Birmingham's Johnson into defence and outting Carvalho, the Brum have only conceded 16 goals this season, they are just struggling to score. Likewise, Blackburn are struggling to score, I think the odds might be good. This leaves me with more than enough money to get rid of Hunt and bring in Milner and hope they do a job on Sunderland tonight.

Might take a 4 point hit and bring in Arshavin for Fabregas but gonna hold out for a while and see if there is any news on that matter.

Or just bench Fabregas and play Milner, Huddlestone, N' Zogbia and Fletcher. But Fletcher playing in RB tonight won't help his points.

Quite happy with my team for this Gameweek. Worried about Fabs though, not got much on the bench!

Birminghams run of soft games is over as of this week so it would be a very short term transfer.

keane2097 · 15-12-2009 02:56PM

Scharner or Firgueroa lads??

Johner · 15-12-2009 02:58PM

Sharner but maybe not for Liverpool away. He is a brilliant addition though as he plays midfield and gets assists and the odd goal but is down as a defender so sometimes picks up a clean sheet(Not likely with Wigan though).

FutureGuy · 15-12-2009 02:58PM

ffs Drogba took a knock in training today!! Ancelloti "hopeful" he will play. I am absolutely fecked. Also because my captain choice is Drogba, if he doesn't play, I have the choice of form (Defoe!!!) or value (Fabregas). I may just put all my beans on Rooney tonight if he starts.

SantryRed · 15-12-2009 03:01PM

12 players playing tonight. But Dunn and Fab doubtful.

Friedel
Vermaelen, Cole, Berra
Fabregas, Bowyer, Milner, Reid
Drogba, Bent, Rodallega.

Dunn on the bench too.

Source?

Mars Bar · 15-12-2009 03:14PM

Okay, this is all going arseways. Thinking of going ahead with the Johnson and Milner move and dropping Fabregas to the bench, that way, if Drogba doesn't play, Rooney gets emergency captain. No money loss...

Ancelloti Press Conference 30 minutes ago.

Think that's just ff's interpretation of the word sore. Wenger was bigging up Arshavin because he scored the goal vrs Liverpool with his right foot which has been troubling him. That translates into 'doubtful' on the site.

Fabregas thing is news to me but nothing on the Arsenal site about it.

It seems like the Fabregas doubt is actually Denilson who really has a back injury.

Wenger said nothing about Fab or Arshavin in his press confrence but Traore and Denilson are out.

Rikand · 15-12-2009 03:36PM

fabregas better not be out. Drogba better not be either. I need them really really badly this week!

Any idea on whether Giggs is likley to figure at all?

Thanks.

Y2J_MUFC · 15-12-2009 03:46PM

Uh oh.

Rooney, Fabregas, Drogba doubtful. Hunt, Dempsey, Sorensen, Pantsil not playing. Sam Ricketts unlikely to play because he's ****e.

Crashing and burning out of the boards top 40 this GW I think

FutureGuy · 15-12-2009 03:49PM

Drogs and Fabs both with back complaints. Probably overstretched while putting the fairy on the clubs Christmas trees.

Looking very likely I'll have 8 players.

Xavi6 · 15-12-2009 03:50PM

Lol this is all goin more Pete Tong by the hour.

EDIT: Just made another sneaky transfer (using the wildcard is proving to be a handy move this week with all the dropouts). A. Reid in for Etherington gives me bench cover if either Cesc or Drogs don't make it.

Morzadec · 15-12-2009 03:57PM

This may be a stupid question, but if you select your emergency captain strategy by form and your form player is on the bench, I assume the emergency captaincy will go to your next form player?

I have Drogs as captain but if he doesn't play my form player is Sornesen who obviously isn't playing. The captaincy won't be transferred to him sitting on the bench will it?

Johner · 15-12-2009 04:01PM

Nah the next form player who is playing.

gosplan · 15-12-2009 04:06PM

CESC IS NOT INJURED!!!!!!!

That's good!

Have you got a source for that though?!

thewools · 15-12-2009 04:16PM

Is Rooney injured?

My whole midfield in doubt according to FF site: Arshavin, Fab, Dunn (think he is defo out), and it looks like Ricardo Carvalho is going to be benched too... My bench is brutal, so is my team!!!

My team is a mess!!! Wild card long gone too :rolleyes:

Better start planning for next years team!! :rolleyes:

Morzadec · 15-12-2009 04:23PM

S*it wher'd you here carvahlo was being benched? Looks like I'm really going to struggle to get 11 players out this week, which is something that I have been good at doing this season.

How do people feel about as Valencia captain tonight? I think he could get a few points
