FPL press conference thread 16/17

[Baxter92]

Does anybody know the return date for Cedric? I know at the moment it says 50% chance, but has Puel actually set a date?

Does anyone know how long Baines is likely to be out for?

Has Koeman given any indication as to when he might be back?

He's been ruled out of this weekend. I wouldn't listen to anything they say about him in future, just sell.

What the hell is wrong with Monreal? Can't find anything on the internet!

He was still Orange 50% in FPL after lunch, he's now red flagged there too "Hamstring injury - Expected back 05 Nov"

selling him now with my 2nd FT

[Blue Fire]

Muscle tightness eh.. Doesn't sound that bad. But with Sprus and United up next, it'd be unfortunate if he were to miss the Sunderland game

Big Ben says Walcott and Monreal unlikely to play:

Great info thanks. Is Ben normally reliable?

[Mav3rick]

Usually seems pretty well informed. He's just a journalist though so take all the news as advisory.

Also the wording isn't "he's out" it's "he's likely to miss the game" - so it's not really anything new and it's definitely not concrete.

[Turd Ferguson]

Anyone see news on Rashford?

[Paulista]

Any Stoke insider with an update on Cameron?

Did Bradley give anything away as to if Swansea are going to play the same defence again?

[Mav3rick]

Antonio Valencia to have surgery on a fractured arm:

[Sutter Kane]

Oh well that's great, 10 men this week then and yet another transfer to make! It's more annoying that it's been out of the blue.

[Mav3rick]

Kasper Schmeichel out for at least a month

[Mav3rick]

Wenger: Cazorla, Monreal, Walcott - there is still some uncertainty today. The closest to coming back looks to be Walcott. We will have a test with him.

Wenger: Hector [Bellerin] has a test. I left him behind [in midweek] because I was cautious with him. We could have basically forced the issue, he could have played maybe in Bulgaria but he should be alright [for Sunday].

Schmeichel out for 4-6 weeks, Zieler at 4.4 anyone? WBA/wat/MID/sun next four games.

[Mav3rick]

Chadli out this week against Leicester, should be back after the international break though.

Mannone back in training, hopes to be fit for the Hull game. Pickfords time up?

https://mobile.twitter.com/SkySports_Ke ... 7572002817

I reckon he might just keep the place now, but methinks it's definitely soon time to get in a rotater. The Hull game would be a bloomin' inconvenient time for it to happen if it does!

[blahblah]

Carroll back in 2 weeks, go look on BBC site about him getting some "good old East London or Essex boys" on a Motorbike.....

"Wonnie and Weggie were such lovely boys" Sweet Babs Windsor.

The sentiment on the Sunderland forums was turning against Pickford last week, not because he's played poorly, but just to take him out of the firing line a bit and protect him from blame.

Earlier on, it was probably 60/40 in Pickford's favour over Mannone, it's probably 70/30 now in Mannones favour. Obviously the fans don't make the call, but I could understand it certainly.

Pickford hasn't done anything wrong, but he's not doing a Heaton impression either.

[Mav3rick]

Schmeichel out for 4-6 weeks, Zieler at 4.4 anyone? WBA/wat/MID/sun next four games.

Given it could only be 4 weeks and there's an international break, you could end up with only two fixtures. Can't see that bring a good move really and I'd much rather move to Heaton if you needed to make a keeper transfer.

Ah, Leighton Baines, converter of multitudes of 2 points (because Everton concedes) to 3 points, because Watford doesn't and yesterday's Capoue brings home the +1 as first sub.

Baines, the man who is due back every week, is still injured. I'm sure he *should* be back next GW though!

Baines and McCarthy remain out injured. Here's @RonaldKoeman's team news update. #EFC

Manager @RonaldKoeman confirms Maarten Stekelenburg is fit and available to play. Leighton Baines remains sidelined

[Tall Paul]

Any news on Shaqiri yet?

[Arhaych]

Any news on Shaqiri yet?

MH on Shaqiri availability: He needs to train today and we need to see if he comes through that. If he does then he has a chance.

Thanks. Think I'll hang on to him then.
