The FPL Press Conference News Nugget Thread 15/16

[Aldershot Rejects]

Bolasie, Ward, Dann and Ledley ruled out of Palace's trip to United. All will be available for weekend FA Cup semi-final, says Pardew

Origi passed fit for Liverpool. Toure recovers from cramp, whilst Skrtel missed Bournemouth match with groin problem

Watford pair Holebas and Cathcart recover from weekend knocks ahead of West Ham clash

[jacksosi]

Bolaise

[BobMem]

One of my rivals has Bolasie, so I'll take that. I have Ward but only need him if Klopp doesn't play Clyne again.

[Owsler]

Does this sound like Rashford starts again against Crystal Palace?

Edit - wrong thread!

[Sutter Kane]

This get better for me and my 35 points so far this week - Wijnaldum, our best player this season imo, benched.

[liquidfootball2]

Klopp says he won't pick the team tomorrow with one eye on Villarreal. "Six days [after], that's almost a normal week."

[BobMem]

Good news. Hopefully that means Clyne and Mignolet will play.
I wonder who will be up top.

[liquidfootball2]

Sturridge or possibly Firmino in false 9

[Stemania]

Sounds promising for Liverpool assets. In Newcastle news, Rafa says...

...Colo and Janmaat are still out.

[murf]

Klopp says he won't pick the team tomorrow with one eye on Villarreal. "Six days [after], that's almost a normal week."

I was worried that he can't count but he actually said "something like 6 days" which just about lets him off (it is 5 days, 5 hours and 5 minutes...)

Sturridge or possibly Firmino in false 9

Firmino is the only one not to have had a rest of late and there are no other forwards (unless Benteke is risked with virtually no training) so I know who I think will start.

That's what I said about Mignolet until some random popped up in goal...

I would love it if Firminho is rested and Coutinho starts. Love it.

[The Username]

Firmino recently missed about three weeks with injury.

[Carlos Kickaball]

He's also been subbed off early in basically every game recently.

Funny that, my ML rival (who also does the weekly commentary on the league) Keegan-ed me in his weekly update yesterday! I told him I'd be happy to be cast as Ferguson in that particular mind game.

[19Yorke]

Any news on Coutinho? I heard he went off sick at half time?

[liquidfootball2]

Felt ill apparently so yes, not sure if Klopp has a presser today but as Billy Bongo speculated last night it " Means Klopp this weekend will play the girls under 11s third team reserves".

Don't know who this Billy Bongo who people keep referring to is, but he sure has some quotes!

Guess this probably nails my Coutinho out transfer this week. Will be interesting to see if Klopp has a presser, though.

[ctibbits]

I'm curious about the "if" part. I thought it was a requirement per the league as I had thought managers had been fined for skipping out on their press duties in the past

Last post at Xmas, Last Active NYD....
don't know the reasons he "quit" fiso in 2016, he was quite a regular when I joined end of 2014

Famous (to me) for having scored 117p in GW17 GR 7th (IIRC) last season, when Centuries were hard to achieve, not discount sale items like in the recent DGW34

and for the Selling Hazard topic

[Stemania]

In Newcastle news, Rafa says...

...Colo and Janmaat are still out.

And are still out apparently. Janmaat hoped to be back next week, Colo probably done for the season.

Also:

Klopp: Mignolet unlikely to start vs Swansea (or rather it's 'likely' Danny Ward will start again).

Pellegrini: Silva out for 2/3 weeks, Nasri in squad, Yaya hopefully back for CL midweek.

[liquidfootball2]

Some repetition with Stem's post above but ffs tweets from City and Liverpool pressers plus Erik Dier news

Klopp on rotation: "That's what we're working for all the time. You have a starting lineup then keep the rest of the players confident too."

Klopp on back-up keeper Danny Ward: "He was really good v Bournemouth. It's likely that Danny will play v Swansea."

Pellegrini on Sterling: "Raheem is just coming back from an important muscle injury which is why he’s playing just some minutes".

Pellegrini: “Samir Nasri worked this week without a problem - he will be in the squad list for Sunday”.

Pellegrini: “Yaya Toure starts working today. We’ll see if he’s fit on Wednesday”.

Pellegrini: “Silva has a small hamstring injury so he will not be fit for this week. He needs 2-3 weeks to recover”. https://t.co/2gBqWgfazi

Pochettino: “Eric Dier suffered concussion but has been training well. We'll need to make a decision on Sunday."

[liquidfootball2]

Jakob Haugaard returns for Stoke. A groin injury will keep Shay Given on the side-lines, although he hopes to play again this season. #SCFC

[liquidfootball2]

Latest from the reds' third team reserves manager

Klopp: “We have to make a few changes, I have no idea how much in this moment”. https://t.co/1W0tgXjiVT

From Everton's official Twitter feed comes bad news for Robles owners:

TEAM NEWS UPDATE: @TimHowardGK set to start final two home fixtures against @afcbournemouth and @NorwichCityFC: evertonfc.com/news/2016/04/2… #EFC

http://www.evertonfc.com/news/2016/04/2 ... -to-return

That's me down to 10 this week.

It's interesting that is not quite how the Liverpool echo reports it - http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/fo ... e-11260831. Here the suggestion is that he will play a part in the final two home matches. Having said that given that they play Norwich on the final day and that it might impact the relegation battle, I assume it is more likely to be this week.

The Echo posted the story at four o'clock, the Everton Twitter feed and official site has the latest information - tweeted at around an hour later - Howard plays both of the last two home games (perhaps some good news for Norwich though)

[Stemania]

Hopefully Robles will play the two away games in DGW37 then!

[Aar0n_28]

I read that article in a hurry and hadn't considered he would be likely to still play in the away games. I won't be burning a transfer on getting him out next week.

I hope Howard's return is good news for Norwich, but I fear we'll already be down come the final day.
