In what could be the most significant news of the late summer thus far - yes, bigger than Alonso to Real -
EvdS is apparently out for approximately 8 weeks with a broken finger suffered in a penalty shootout yesterday against Bayern Munich.
The big question for fantasy managers is which back up keeper will be in line to replace him for the first chunk of the season. Both Foster and Kuszczak are listed at 6.34 so there's not a price advantage in one vs. the other getting the job - we just need to know which one it is going to be. If I were guessing, I'd assume it was going to be Foster since he seems to be the likely long term replacement for EvdS. Adding to that theme, Kuszczak didn't exactly grab the job by the throat last season when he had a chance with EvdS injured or resting.
Follow this space for news about EvdS's replacement as it comes in and rest assured that you will want to pick that keeper up. Just think, that's another 8 or so to spend on outfield players - right now that's getting me from Frazier Campbell to someone who might actually do something for me (Rooney perhaps - at least for Week 1; after that probably Arshavin or Nando).
