Players not able to play in Fantasy Premier League - Injury lookout

With still few days to go until the start of fantasy premier league, let's look the situation with notable injured players. Most of the players will begin playing in few weeks but it might not be good idea to buy these players just yet.

Edwin Van der Sar, ManU

ManU's number one goalkeeper will be out of the field till September because of a finger injury suffered in penalty shootout against Bayern Munchen. Van der Sar will miss at least 5 games from the start of the season.

Nemanja Vidic, ManU

Defender Vidic has suffered a calf injury and will be out at least from the season opening game against Birmingham. The injury isn't too serious so he'll be back playing in couple of weeks

Phil Jagielka, Everton

Jagielka is still suffering knee injured in April and wont be back until November. Even then he's is a risky bet, cause knee injuries can keep player from playing even if supposedly healed.

Samir Nasri, Arsenal

Arsenal's midfielder Nasri injured his leg in training camp and won't be back until October. With Arsenals heave artillary midfield, he might not be getting too much playtime even when fully healed.

Finding the right players in Fantasy Premier League - Player Tips - Defenders

Let's look at some defenders that will be a nice addition to your Fantasy Premier League team. While goalkeepers prices differ only little, the prices of defenders vary a little more. At the time of the writing the most expensive defender is ManU's Nemanja Vidic with 8M, even being injured at the time over 20% teams have selected Vidic. Usually you can get good defenders from winning teams for 5-6M. I have chosen 3 defenders from different price groups.

8M Nemanja Vidic ManU
Even though still little injured when this man returns he is defender to have in your team. One of the best defenders in the world in a well defending team with the ability to score goals, priceless.

6.5M Kolo Toure Manchester City
Manchester City's number one defender will be playing a lot of minutes and with my high hopes for the whole team, he'll be sure collect a lot points. A valid player for any fantasy premier league team.

4.5M Maynor Figueroa Wigan
Wigan played a nice last season, and while not conceding a whole lot of goals, the teams whole defense group is a good choice. I chose Figueroa because he's a sure starting formation player.
