A week of international fixtures gets underway today, with two African Cup of Nations qualifiers and a cluster of friendlies kicking off a nervy period in which we keep our fingers crossed in the hope of our Fantasy assets returning to England unscathed.

This article gives a club-by-club rundown on which assets will be away from their sides during this period, also detailing the dates in which these players will be competing for their respective countries.

There are four players in action in the early hours of Wednesday, October 17 who then face a long-haul flight back from the Americas: Alexis Sanchez (£10.0m), DeAndre Yedlin (£4.5m), Davinson Sanchez (£5.8m) and Raul Jimenez (£5.6m).

Davinson was among the substitutes in Spurs’ Premier League match against Liverpool immediately after the September international break, though Yedlin was thrust straight back into the Newcastle United starting XI for the visit of Arsenal. Alexis Sanchez sat out Chile’s previous two fixtures last month, while Jimenez was recalled early by Wolves as a precautionary measure in plenty of time ahead of Gameweek 5.

Manchester United are in action in the lunchtime kick-off on Saturday, October 20, so it remains to be seen whether Alexis features from the start against Chelsea after his exertions in Mexico next Wednesday morning. Jimenez and Wolves, meanwhile, take on Watford at 3pm on that same Saturday.

The good news for owners of Fantasy assets playing for Brazil and Argentina is that their meeting on Tuesday, October 16 will take place in Saudi Arabia, meaning an earlier-than-usual finish time for the likes of Roberto Firmino (£9.4m), Alisson (£5.6m), Ederson (£5.7m), Richarlison (£6.8m), Lucas Moura (£7.4m) and Roberto Pereyra (£6.2m) and a shorter flight back to the UK.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£10.7m), Mohamed Salah (£12.8m), Sadio Mane (£9.9m), Wilfried Zaha (£7.0m) and Son Heung-min (£8.3m) are among the FPL players who are in action in Africa and Asia next Tuesday, meanwhile.

Sergio Aguero (£11.3m), Alexandre Lacazette (£9.6m), Aymeric Laporte (£5.7m) and Benjamin Mendy (£6.2m) are some of the more notable “uninjured” players who won’t feature for their respective national teams over the coming week.

        I think they are both as good as each other

        if you phrase it another way its sterling + 7mil fwd
        or
        kun + 7mil midfielder

        so it depends who else you already have and prefer in those brackets
        ownership wise kun has the potential to be far more damaging to rank. so if you are doing well I would say kun and maddison/richarlison is a better combo
        however if you are trying to close ground up I can see the benefit in say sterling/arnie

    Aguero - Kane - Mitrovic

    Have 2 FT,

    Suggest best options. Have multiple things in mind.

    1. Keep as it is (Keep Kane)
    2. Get Salah back
    3. Get Mane + Something
    4. Get Sterling + Cheap striker

    Ederson (Hamer)
    Bennett Alonso Robbo Mendy (AWB)
    Hazard Maddison Rich (Fraser, 4.5m)
    Aguero Kane Arnautovic

    Really liking the look of Laca, but also wheary of Pools 2 fixtures coming up.

    With one FT... Don't mind taking a -4

    A. Kane to Laca
    B. Kane to Firmino

      kane to laca looks solid
      I'm just wary over the next fixture - firmino is playing in south America and has to fly back and sturridge could easily deputise - unlikely but definitely a possibility
      then if after next week if it becomes obvious you need Liverpool cover you can use those funds

    Morning lads.

    This is my team and I'm wondering if I should be proactive and change, or make like Ville Ronka and believe in my players, each week making 1 FT that's a long term move. Already spent my FT on dumb move Shaw -> Doherty. Chasing points they call it.

    Hart, Hamer
    Alonso, TAA, Doherty, Wan-B, 3.9
    Hazard, Mane, Richarlison, Fraser, 4.3
    Kane, Lacazette, Mitrovic
    2.8 ITB

    Good to go or not? Want to get a better goalkeeper, bring in Siggy, ship Mitro, maybe Mane too and I don't like Fraser either.

      Think long term. Hart is fine, just leave him. Siggy looks good, but I'm afraid you're chasing points there. And why ship Mitro and/or Fraser? They have excellent fixtures coming up. Many were wavering on Wilson, but he came good last week that could easily happen to Mitro/Fraser over the next 3-4. Same goes for Mane really, if you have kept him until now I dont understand why you would ship before Hudders and Cardiff.

      GTG, I would look to upgrade at least one of your duds at the bench next week.

      I think you're being a bit dramatic - it's not a bad squad. You could get Patricio and upgrade your 5th defender to Bennet and still have plenty of cash for a decent midfielder. I wouldn't go further than a 4-point hit per week, me.

    On wildcard, want kdb if he's fit, but want pool attacker too (lowkey want salah), which one?

    A. Mane (9.9) + KDB (9.7) = 19.6m
    B. Salah (12.8) + Richa (6.6) = 19.4m + 0.2m (got richa since 6.6)
    C. Firmino (9.4) + KDB (9.7) = 19.1m + 0.5m

    OR on 116k, any thoughts are appreciated
    cheers

      Defo not B. You don't have KDB in that one.

      Between Mane and Firmino, my vote goes to Firmino. He'll get a goal and assist just by showing up in Pool offense in those easy fixtures. And Mane is the type of player who stops after scoring 1 goal so he rarely gets a double haul.

        When Pool win 5-0, which they will, Firmino is more likely to be involved in 2+ goals than Mane.

      Would rather get Salah back in as priority for these fixtures. IB's are hard on Bobby and yeah Sturridge is knocking on the door. Having said that Bobby might play and would likely be involved in goals if he does, so follow your instinct, or have a look at his stats in the member's area to decide. If you ask people here they will generally just reply with what must closely resembles their team.

          Who are you leaning towards for captaincy?

          Good week to “punt” on Salah? Guess it depends on what we think Kuns EO will be. I’d guess about 130 in the top 10k (80 plus 50% captains). Haz about 115 (95+20) Kane about 50 (40+10) depends how many Kaners dropped out of the top10k last week).

          So Salah was 23%. I’d imagine that may have fallen slightly or stayed consistent with transfers in. I think max 15% will captain so 40%...

          So Kun at 130 versus Salah at 40? I think next week is the week.

              Should have planned ahead unfortunately, if it's going to require hits to get there then where can you really gain?

          Not if they’re injured/suspended they can’t. Also less likely in tough fixtures. They’re all likely to be fit and have great fixtures though, hence they could all -realistically- post massive scores.

        I'd have to agree with this - Laca's immediate fixtures are against stronger defences.

        You'll want Kun for BUR / SOU, and having Kane on top of that is a bonus which will elude most managers.

        I suspect Fraser will be fine so don't worry about the flag.

        This is a Salah-focused move but I'd even wait on him a week given that you have Kane and Aguero.

          Its mainly just that I watched Spurs and Kane looked absolutely lost, plus he'll have been away with England while Laca is relaxing at home. Plus I genuinely just don't like fraser as a pick, don't know what it is about him but I wouldn't mind losing him at all tbh

            But Aguero also relaxing at home before Burnley is surely far too good to move from as well!

                That looks quite a bit better yeah.

                You can feasibly play Bennett for the next two fixtures then re-assess.

                And it saves you 4 points - you only need Lacazette to not outscore Aguero by 5 points+ and you will net gain.

                Leicester being forced not to play Morgan is probably bad for Arsenal...
