Late YFF injury news

Since these guys are probably quite popular pool picks this week, this following info is quite pertinent.

From SkySports:

Rooney is set to accompany Saha up front having recovered from his groin problem, while Gabriel Heinze is out with a knee injury and will be replaced by either Mikael Silvestre or Patrice Evra at left back.

Also courtesy of SkySports:

Chelsea are sweating over the fitness of Michael Ballack before finalizing their side. The German picked up a hip problem in the Community Shield and is a major doubt for the game.

My thoughts on this: if he's a "major doubt" it's probably not a risk you want to take in week 1, especially being double game week. Say he starts the first game. He could have a stinker and not generate many YFF points, or worse, leaves injured and does not play the second game. There are enough reasonably priced options out there to take his place, though it may require some roster tweaking.
