No big intro today, other than to highlight the fact that Rooney and Chicharito being back probably
has us all scrambling to figure out how to align our teams to get as many United players as
possible into our line-ups against Norwich. Man United vs. Norwich Rooney, Chicharito and Evans are
back and should all start.
We're finally back on schedule here at blog headquarters and since it is Friday morning on the East
Coast of the United States that means it is time for all the news that is fit to print, err, type
and link to about injuries and suspensions and how they impact your fantasy choices for the
weekend. Arsenal vs.
Premier League team news - ESPN Soccernet: Here is the important news from behind the link along
with the fantasy implications that the news implies: Arsenal Song and Gervinho are back from
suspension which means a few things: 1) Frimpong and Arshavin will almost definitely head to the
bench; 2) The defense will be better with Song in front of Mertesacker and Koscielny (and Rovers

Arsenal v Swansea Everton v Aston Villa Man City v Wigan Stoke v Liverpool Sunderland v Chelsea
Wolves v Tottenham Bolton v Man Utd Norwich v West Brom Fulham v Blackburn Here's a summary of the
news that can be found behind the links above: Arsenal: The important mention is that Gibbs is fit
and Santos is "short of fitness" which leaves fantasy managers with a fairly certain, very
Premier League team news - ESPN Soccernet: There are a fair number of interesting line-up
machinations related to injuries, suspensions, and transfers. For all of the fantasy implications
for this weekend, here is everything you need to know: Aston Villa: Looks like Gabby and Heskey are
very likely to be healthy for the match against Wolves.
Oh, how miserable it is to be an Arsenal supporter these days. Critical matches to start the
season, two excellent players seemingly out the door, two questionable suspensions from the first
match of the season, and now the typical injury-riddled squad adding to the misery. Here's the
quick round up of the latest injury news heading into the weekend and the implication for fantasy
owners:
Premier League team news - ESPN Soccernet So, what to make of all the injury news discussed behind
the link above? Here are my rapid-fire thoughts: United: Evra's injury and likely omission makes me
very wary of all United defenders. I can see the case for having one or both of Fabio and Rafael in
your line-up but both are petulant (read, prone to yellow cards) and I'm not sure how
Berbatov battles Tevez, again. Premier League team news - ESPN Soccernet Of course it may all be
irrelevant due to the inconvenient timing of "the Rapture" but if we manage to avoid the end of
days on Saturday, we will indeed have a final day of the season on Sunday. Honestly, as I looked at
the content behind the link above, I don't think I saw anything that moved me to make a change.
Head-to-head this week. So I started the week with a real bee in my bonnet for 2-gamers. As I
posted on Monday I made room for ten of them in my team. Now? Now I'm not so sure. I think there's
value in some of the one-gamers, notably Bolton hosting Sunderland, Rovers @ West Ham, and West
Brom @ Wolves.
Here are the important notes from the team news focused mostly on the two-match teams: Bolton - Not
sure how to feel about the supposition that the "weary trio" of MPet, Elmander, and Klasnic will
make way for Sturridge, Mark Davies, and Matty Taylor. Sturridge will have a spot because he's
been awesome and was only out due to being Cup tied.
