Dream Team managers can repeat Caoimhin Kelleher ‘trick’ with Fraser Forster following Guglielmo Vicario’s ankle injury
DREAM TEAM managers have been presented with an opportunity to repeat a useful trick.
Guglielmo Vicario (£3.1m) has been ruled out for the foreseeable future having undergone surgery on a fractured ankle.
Toittenham's No1 sustained the injury against Manchester City on Saturday and bravely played through the pain to keep a clean sheet at the Etihad and contribute to his side's impressive 4-0 victory.
No timescale has been given in regards to the Italian goalkeeper's rehabilitation at the time of writing but he will surely be unavailable for several weeks.
Dream Team bosses don't like to see players get injured and most will wish Vicario a speedy recovery but it's simply a fact that incidents such as this create an opportunity in the world of fantasy football.
Suddenly, Fraser Forster (£1.8m) is in line to start between the sticks for Spurs over the busy festive period.
The 36-year-old is the established deputy having played three games this season, two in the Europa League and one in the Carabao Cup.
Currently available for just £1.8m, he is ridiculously affordable for a player who is now a starter for one of the more prominent Premier League clubs.
