Injury Updates...

Not a lot of interesting news to be had on the injury news front...the only two updates that struck me as particularly important are the following:

1) Everton's defense Hibbert, Stubbs, and Naysmith - are out or unlikely due to suspension and/or injury which may make Howard less valuable. I'm sticking with him but something to consider.

2) William Gallas looks likely to play which means that those thinking about getting a bargain in Justin Hoyte should consider that course of action a big risk. It also means that Arsenal's defense is more likely to get a clean sheet and get forward.

3) Silvestre is definitely out so Heinze is almost certain to start and play the full match in order to keep Evra off the field.

4) Looks like Riise is the choice at left full back for Liverpool against Bolton meaning that either Aurellio or Gonzalez will be headed to the bench - which one goes will be a big deal for fantasy managers. Aurellio seems to be the most likely to sit based on the limited sample of Rafa's behavior to date.

  2. I can't imagine who would start if Lescott weren't the choice - excellent chance of CS points but probably only so-so for random other points. Low risk, low reward sort of choice...

    Hmm no risks for me -- the thought of earning 0 points on a choice just ain't gonna cut it. And can't afford Eboue with my current line-up, so bye bye Arsenal defenders.

    Any advice on a 5.89 defender? I have Aurellio now and if I drop him that's what I'm left with. Agree with Lescott appraisal. Can't even afford Spector. You know you're scraping bottom...

    Hopefully Aurellio will be a late sub and get those Daillyesque CS pts like last week.

    Enjoying the posts. Cheers.

    And Rafa confounds everyone by dropping both Gonzalez and Aurelio! Not even a place on the bench.
