Some guy....

Yeah, the only player who's come back as a shadow of their former selves was Cissé. Carroll is back to his free scoring ways after being out for 3 months. He's back to the top scorer this season, but then again it might be because my team is in a bit of a transitional phase right now.

It happened to me with chelsea, my best layer C. Ronaldo got injured and i was like oh **** what am i going to do, but i put J.cole in and since ronaldo has returned after two months and cnt get back in the side as joe cole is playing fantastic.

I normally see an injury to a top player as a chance to give a youngster a runout.

It gives them valuable experience and aids their development no end.

In fact, that's what I'm doing now. I lost my second striker to injury for 3 months, a guy who consistently bangs in 15-20 per season.

I gave a young kid a chance and he's rewarded me with quite a few important goals, including a winner just scored against Man United as I typed this very post.
