Nemanja Vidic Out for Five Weeks

Looks like both Ferdinand and Vidic won't be available until September ends.

Big blow. Manchester United's captain, Nemanja Vidic, has a more serious injury than expected and will out for up to five weeks.

Both Vidic and Ferdinand were injured during the victory against West Brom last Sunday. This may cause serious difficulties to Ferguson's side for winning games, especially when the young De Gea is still unsettled at Old Trafford.

Nevertheless, the injury of the duo will pave way for youngsters such as Chris Smalling (£5.5m), Phil Jones (£5.5m) and Johnny Evans (£4.5m) to step up as fantasy bargains, though it remains intriguing whether they can fill up their seniors' boots.

Saturday Stage

Ashley Young
Starred Gw28 with 15 pre-bonus fantasy points.

A dream start for my Gw28 as six of my players had played, and the player with the least points is six! It's just fantastic. Anyway, let's see who's been sparkling just now:

• Ashley Young. One penalty, one assist and another goal. Finally provided me great returns after weeks keeping him.
• Young's teammate, Downing, is the fantasy runner-up of Saturday with 10 pre-bonus points. Also scoring 10 is Beckford who scored both goals for Everton.
• Rooney was doing great just now with one goal and one assist. Chicharito was even better for his two opening goals.
• Nani was a bit disappointing with just one assist, but six points with another game coming on isn't too bad for a captain.
• Wolves shocked me with extremely comfortable win over Blackpool. They are currently one place above relegation after the victory.
• Smalling and Coleman continue to be cheap fantasy studs as they grab points from clean sheet again.
