Here’s the fantasy premier league news shorts for Friday 25 January. As I’m short of time they’re cut and pastes from the Daily Mail with a few comments
Hazard
Eden Hazard has been charged by the Football Association following his clash with a ball boy during Wednesday night’s Capital One clash at Swansea.
How can it be longer than 3 games? great news for fantasy premier league owners of mata who will surely be rotated less over this period.
Sissoko
Newcastle have completed the signing of French international Moussa Sissoko from Toulouse for an undisclosed fee.
23 year old midfielder 183 appearances for Toulouse and 19 goals. 5 appearances for France and many age group appearances. Anita and Tiote will be the 2 players that are threatened by his transfer. Doesnt appear to have the goal or assist threat to be worth owning in fantasy premier league
Zaha
Wilfried Zaha has signed for Manchester United today in a deal worth a staggering £15million. Sir Alex Ferguson confirmed the transfer this morning
being loaned back to Crystal palace for the season so no effect on fantasy premier league
Luiz
David Luiz has added to Chelsea’s woes with an injury he fears may rule him out for weeks. Luiz damaged a calf muscle in the final seconds of the Capital One Cup semi-final.
good news for all the other Chelsea defenders although there’s still Cahill Ivanovic Terry and Azpilicueta for 3 spots. i would now go for azpili as he is the value option and seems to be valued by Benitez judging by the game time to date.
Frimpong
Fulham have confirmed the loan signing of Arsenal midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong until the end of the season.
really? I’ve read some stuff saying this isnt true which would make sense as you’ve already got Sidwell Baird and Karagounis plus Diarra when fit. None are worth owning anyway so I wouldn’t get too worried
