I think I asked you this over at Sportal a while ago, but what do the green + red highlights mean on the players again?

Thanks.

I didnt realize you were in Ultimate draft? So you are Sauce Reed?

I think that's you... is it you?

This could be awkward, you know if I ever did awkward.

I said Ultimate team not Fantasy team.

Showoff - I didn't have a choice, both it is - thankyou Parcell and Blaw.

An eversion sprain is pretty much the opposite of a "normal" sprain (inversion sprain)-you roll your foot outwards instead of inwards.  Quite rare, but if you watch the footage you can see his foot rolls out sharply and suddenly so initially I thought that's what it was.

But later on he was icing his shin about halfway up which suggests he's strained the muscles which run down the front of your tibia that flex your foot there, that would make sense with the eversion force he copped.  Either that or other soft tissue there anyway.  If that's the case it could range from no time off to a lot, depending on the severity.  

Good news is it looked a bit too high for a classic syndesmosis injury.

Haha sorry broski, it didn't mean to come across as a brag. If it's any consolation the rest of the team are red dots this week (including Parcell and BLaw)

Bloody hell SI, you appear to have actual medical knowledge. Impressive.

@SI was a couple years above them in school I believe

Majored in Podiatry and Biomechanics at Uni but didn't end up practicing; too much empathy for patients, cos I am a soft cock.  Can remember all that crap from 15 years ago but can't remember what I ate for smoko this morning

All good, I know my team is shite at the moment.  I read all these 'last reserves from Taylor / TMM / Hastings / Blaw / Safiti' etc etc and think to myself, fuck me, I've got to play all those plodders every week - plus the black widow. Having DCE ride the pine is not helping but have burned way too many trades with injuries so far so keeping him now. Thankfully Merrin and Cartwright have sort of picked up their act, but have also had Kapow from the start and he is hard to watch - except for two runs one week.
