Drogba at 6.4 be nearly worth a punt, though luckily for Chelsea the international break will give him time to rest.

6 weeks out is what the papers are running with

If true I may wildcard.

I reckon I'll do the same. Rumours are anywhere from 4 to 6 weeks to 3 months. I saw one tweet that said it would be his third hamstring injury this year.

Twitter is agog with Costa, hamstring and out for 4-6 weeks talk. Not sure how reputable it is yet. Tony Leen (Irish Examiners sport editor) retweeting a link though and some of the FPL pages so reckon something in it.

The Jovetic saga of last night ain't looking too hot for those who did it, although Austin needed shifting anyway!

Just a number of us debating bringing him in before he rose in price last night.

I sort of know what way I want to set up anyway so it could be a good time to do it. Doesnt seem to be much hope of making money on wildcards the way the price changes are going so no real lose in activating it late and cant see too many major transfers between now and monday. Will sleep on it anyway.

I also know. I'll be going 3-4-3 with Ade up front. Had planned for Costa and Aguero with him but it'll now be Rooney and Aguero. Midfield will be Ramsey, Fab, Siggy and either Mata or Sterling. I just need to work out defence so I can fit Lloris in.

yep lloris is a great GK option. Ill be something similar defo on ade will probably have sturridge over rooney and mata over sterling.

Wow, I dodged a bullet there (was considering a 4 point hit to bring in Costa for Giroud).

I need to get rid of Giroud and have £1.3m in the bank, thoughts?

Tricky price range for strikers but I think Adebayor is the best in that range. There's a lot going for Jovetic but I fear that will end in tears when he inevitably gets bench. Adebayor's the main man at Spurs who should do well under Pochettino and is the best long term option outside of the big hitters..

On a sidenote giroud could be great value towards the end of the season if his price plummets and Arsenal don't sign another striker. You'd expect they will but you never know with Wenger.

Feckin Costa injured now too. Costa --> Aguero looking likely for me now.

Will have to move out both Giroud and Costa now. Luckily have 2 ft

Already made transfer so debating whether to do Costa to Aguero for -4 or just play the wildcard and sort out other areas while I'm at it. Lloris probably going to rise tonight and was considering him instead of Begovic.

I'm going Costa --> Aguero once the injury is confirmed from somewhere more reliable than The Sun. Will captain Aguero this weekend, probably won't start but if he does it could be a massive differential and if he doesn't i'd still expect returns given the form he's in atm
