Here’s the news of the day for fantasy premier league on the 11 September 2012. Today it includes Liverpool, Kagawa, John Terry, Cech, Giorgos Karagounis as well as the daily update on price rises and falls.
Liverpool technical committee
What next for Liverpool! after letting a team in 4 competitions go down to 2 strikers and the saying that £6m for a midfielder who can play striker and scored 17 goals who was desperate to join you was too expensive? Liverpool now announce this
Apparently Rodgers said when being hired he would not work for a director of football. It seems that the owners now think its ok he would work with 4? It seems to involve transfers more than selection and playing style but its hard not to see some creep going on in to this area. It can hardly be conducive to a harmonious working relationship and Liverpool on the field. it all points to staying away from Liverpool players until the fixtures drastically improve
Kagawa
Oh that’s all you need as a fantasy premier league owner of kagawa, an injury just before a home game to Wigan and for those fantasy premier league managers who don’t own hazard another reason for people to jump on tat badwagon and push the price up even further. Well it seems he was injured in training and was ruled out of the Japan game against Iraq and is now a doubt for Wigan as well as a doubt for Galatasary afterwards. Well to me this could point to a 4-4-2 with Cleverly and Carrick with either Hernandez or more likely Welbeck up front. How that works with RVP wanting to play so high up is a bit of a mystery. If Ashley Young recovers from a knee injury as expected it could mean a place for him just off RVP as he has played before but what ever its a great source of frustration after such a promising start. We’ll keep you posted
John Terry
Alot of conflicting reports around about whether he will be back for the QPR game. I cant see a clean sheet here anyway so either way not a great deal of excitement for Luiz and cahill owners
Cech rest
When Chelsea ask for their goal keeper to be rested during an international break because of an elbow problem it cant inspire confidence on performance or game time for fantasy premier league owners of Cech. Hopefully it will just mean rotation in the cups as long as it doesnt hinder performance. the only saving grace is that RDM will surely be reluctant to put Hilario or Turnbull in to the mix if it can be avoided. the situation might be different if it was like lindegaard and De Gea where there isnt such a gap between the two.
Giorgos Karagounis joins Fulham on a free
Despite the guys pedigree this isn’t anything to excite fantasy premier league managers. Last year in 25 games in Greece he got 1 goal and 2 assists . The year before it was 29 games and 1 assist. I dont think I need to say any more. I expect Steve Sidwell to be the most worried about his place.
price rises/falls
Nothing significant to report on the leaders although Oscar took another fall to go to £0.6m down to £7.9m.
