Cech return boosts Chelsea



Chelsea goalkeeper Petr Cech is fit to return for Wednesday's Premier League game at bottom club Portsmouth but defender Branislav Ivanovic will be sidelined for a month.

Manager Carlo Ancelotti also said Ashley Cole was back in light training after breaking his left ankle at Everton at the start of February and he expected the England defender to return to the first team before the end of the season...

Third-choice keeper Ross Turnbull, who has played the last three games, will drop to the bench against Portsmouth. Ancelotti also said he expected second-choice Henrique Hilario to be fit again for Saturday's home game against Aston Villa.

Two from Turnbull is still three more than -1 from Friedel (for half the price), but at least with Friedel I get another bite of the cherry. And that's what you pay for with two gamers... hope.

    Good news to me as most of my league's members picked him up for the 2 gamers. No more points gain from Turnbull. :)

    Neal and Jeremy,

    No monday morning manager anymore? It used to offer some good feedback about the weekend action.

    Thanks,
    Chet.

  3. Chet,

    The manager is tired. And busy. He'll return when he can. Promise.

    Just a curious question..not sure if anyone has the answer, and if the initial player values before week 1 are known.... Before week one, how many points would you have now if you picked 11 within the original salary cap and never changed them? Doing it now with hindsight...would you be leading or not even close to the top. Players that come to mind are Drogba, Verm, Bent, Sharner, (all at there original price)
    Any ideas?
