Holding injured players

Post by Zimmerman »

I have Mendy, Mane and Aguero in my team

Obviously the latter is on the cusp of a return.
However, what are you guys doing with injured players?

With premiums being spread throughout the league - is it worth giving someone up (if they are amongst your limited elite players)?

Unless it's long term, I can't see that you can get rid because otherwise you are giving last place several weeks down the line a great pick-up.

I'd probably get rid of Mendy because that's a season long injury. I'd hold the others. I'd always hold elite players who're only injured for a relatively small percentage of the rest of the season.

At various points so far I've been holding Luiz, VVD, Mane, Zaha, Antonio and Aguero across my teams. One of my teams has suffered for it as I was unable to field a full 11 several times. That team is propping up the league at the moment, but hopefully it will pay off as the season progresses.

It's not helped by the fact I also have Blind and Danilo :cry: :cry: :cry:

Swapped Mendy out for Ward :roll:

I've still got Mounie in my Fantrax squads, but they have special rules for injured players.
