Alright lads? Sunderland fan in peace. Just wondering what's happened to Chadli? He seemed to be a first team regular and always on the scoresheet before his injury, and I assumed he'd come straight back in. Seems to only be getting the odd sub appearance here and there though - you lads reckon he's still just getting up to speed or has he fallen out of favour? Important question for fantasy foobtall purposes you see!
He was a regular first choice up until he was given compassionate leave by the club when his dad died in January. Since then he's been replaced by Dembele who's found a bit of form. No idea when he'll be back in the PL 11, it depends on Dembele's form and what impact Nacer can make in cup games and from the bench, I guess. Having Chadli on the left and Eriksen in the middle gives us better balance so I think that he won't be waiting too long.
Not been injured mate, as YV said he was on compassionate leave due to the unfortunate death of his Dad. He's been one of our best players this season (statistically only behind Kane in terms of goals & assists combined) and I think Poch will have him back in the XI soon. Dembele's form has made it hard to drop him though as with most of his Spurs career, he's been very inconsistent and tends to not fill his potential, so there's every chance he may drop off again in a couple of games and see Nacer jump straight back in. Like YV also said, Chadli left and Eriksen centre gives us better balance and I feel it makes us more dangerous on the attack. I also have Nacer in my fantasy team so I'm debating whether or not to stick with him. Even if he's not starting, he's guaranteed to come on in games and so it's down to whether I'll take the risk of keeping him in my team, hoping he comes on and grabs a winner or just temporarily transfer him out for a couple of weeks until he's starting again. There's £500 for the winner in my mate's fantasy league so all my choices are making me **** my pants, especially as I'm top of the league right now and therefore don't wanna drop any points on the opposition .
Ahh right, didn't realise about his dad, sad to hear... Guess I'll stick with him then, the FF we do you have a very limited number of subs so no point changing from what you lads say. Cheers
