Was rather hoping to see some injuries thrown up by the first round of matches last night - just to keep things interesting like.

None that I can see.

The Lukaku express continues unabated with 2 goals before coming off early - presumably as a precaution.

Van Persie bags a hat-trick.

Paulinho in action for me now against South Korea

No injuries please. But despite all the goals last night, still no sign of price increases.

Looking like it could stay quiet right up untill the deadline.

I'm considering bringing him in next week for Chelsea game at Home to Cardiff

Do you think it's advisable?

He'd be replacing Gerrard in ym team

I am thinking of getting him in too but afraid he'll be rested for that game as he's in Seoul today and Beijing on Tuesday. Hopefully he'll be rested in China a bit. Otherwise it'll be Michu for me.

I have the same worry but in fairness he should be back on Wednesday or Thursday at the latest.

Santi101 · 12-10-2013 5:23pm

One of Giroud's goals for France v Australia......

Now do it at home to Norwich you donkey!!!!........:pac:

Yeah, but with all the options he has I'd be surprised if Mourinho plays him in a game he'd expect to win, and maybe to rest players anyway. What day is Chelsea game I wonder?

Hogey007 · 13-10-2013 9:07am

i'd air on the side of caution bringing oscar in this week, as has been said, he has some long journeys on international duty this week, then chelsea play cardiff at home saturday before playing away in germany tuesday, this will be chelsea's toughest champions league game (on paper anyway) so i'd be very surprised if he didn't use one of his many other options against cardiff, who he'll feel he can easily beat without oscar, and keep oscar fresh for a huge game tuesday. (chelsea really can't afford another defeat after their shock defeat at home in the first round of champions league matches)

FHFC · 13-10-2013 10:23am

Think I'm 90% for Michu at this stage. Can still do oscar for Eriksen in 2 or 3 weeks if need be. Feel mata has a chance to stake a claim for that no 10 spot though.

Iused2likebusts · 13-10-2013 11:34am

oscar took a knock on his calf and was feeling dizzy during the game. Scolari has said he may not play on tuesday.

JokerD · 13-10-2013 12:44pm

If I want to get Oscar in then I've to do it now really as I've my transfer for next week in my mind already. Buying Oscar leaves me with 2.2m in the bank which is what I need for next week's transfer. He looks like he'll rise soon and I can't afford to let that to happen.

L.A.D · 14-10-2013 4:40pm

Won't Oscra be jetlegged and a risk to start?

Modibo Maiga scored for Mali there too today. Neither are WC Qualifiers but hope that's ok for this thread as there's no generic internationals thread.

Swiper the fox · 15-10-2013 5:36pm

Seems like Frank Lampard will return to Chelsea well "rested".

Luiz played 70 minutes for Brazil today,
There's a lot at stake for a few teams tonight, none more so than England, we can start planning for the weekend around 10 o clock tonight.

Hogey007 · 15-10-2013 9:21pm

RVP was subbed at half time, anyone know if this is injury related?

darren gibson sounds like a serious injury so in FF terms that means one less everton midfielder for barkley owners to worry about.

Paully D · 15-10-2013 9:29pm

Ozil taken off and straight down to the dressing room with a limp. :mad:

To be honest, on seeing the replay, no. Player running in front of him and said players heel clipped his knee which caused him to go down. He was able to walk off but he was limping.

Knowing my luck this season he will miss an easy game this week against Norwich due to not being 100% fit though!

FHFC · 15-10-2013 9:49pm

Mata came on on 58 for Spain and scored. I think he may be worth watching for the next while.

Negredo got the other.

Don't think it will garauntee him a place in Joses plans though Mata has responded well to being dropped, and seems to be on form and working his way back into that no 10 role, and we all know what he can do FPL wise if he gets going.

Oscar not making it easy for him mind you but if he is rested this week and mata does well it could finally be the start of his season.

Hopefully Ozil ok. Read somewhere else that RVP went off as a precaution due to 'a knock'.....

Lemlin · 16-10-2013 6:55am

Ramsey continued his good form with a goal for Wales.

Oscar came on second half for Brazil and scored.

L.A.D · 16-10-2013 9:21am

Was Giroud in action for France?

Morrison scored twice last night for England U-21's

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2461652/England-U21-5-Lithuania-U21-0--match-report-Ravel-Morrison-inspires-England-victory.html

Unfortunately his temperament came into play with an on pitch bust up with Zaha. Apparently it had something to do with him not being allowed take the penalty for his hat-trick, despite Berahino being the chosen penalty taker for the team.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziY8lT5T9XU

On that note, Berahino scored twice. Could be worth watching if you are in the market for a cheap striker, only £4.5m. We're already spoiled for choice up front though...

alchemist33 · 16-10-2013 1:05pm

Ward-Prowse scored too

Dude's on a roll

Was just listening to a bit of Talksport now and Adrian Durham and Darren Gough are raving about Ravel Morrisson, the words special and talent were being used quite liberally and both reckon he should be on the plane to Brazil, I know quite a few here have him, I'll need to get him in myself for that price, he's obviously in a better position than AJ for likelihood of regular starts. Feckit I'd LOVE to have my wildcard back.

L.A.D · 16-10-2013 4:45pm

Anyone know if Nani played for Portugal?

Durham and Gough are a pair of complete muppets tbf, a rubbish journo and a fat cricketer telling us all about football.........:pac:

There's no middle ground on talksport. But Morrison does look a talented player.

Yes. Played 80 min and "almost" scored a goal. Got a header deflected in his own net by a defender.

Worth bearing in mind Uruguay are now in a home and away play off vs Jordan to qualify, Suarez will be travelling 13th and 20th Nov, may hinder his 90 min at Pool during that time.

Really want to get on him myself, had him in my wildcard team week 5 till last minute.

It will prob have to be for Ramsey though so needs some thought. May do Erikson and Ramsey to mata and Morrison next week or 2.

He is the one player I wouldnt be worried about in that situation it doesnt seem to bother him and he has never been rested after returning from s america. The game after the play off is a 1245 kick off( 2 1/2 days later) on the sat against everton even with little rest and a long flight back I still cant imagine he will be rested. Even though it probably makes sense to leave him out.
