Sane and van Dijk on the scoresheet ahead of Gameweek 13

We continue our international break coverage with a look back at the matches contested on Monday that involved Fantasy Premier League players.

The article below rounds up the minutes played, goals, assists and injury news concerning these Fantasy assets, with a particular focus on some of the more widely owned FPL picks.

Germany 2-2 The Netherlands

  • Antonio Rudiger (£6.0m) – 90 minutes
  • Leroy Sane (£9.2m) – 80 minutes
  • Bernd Leno (£4.8m) – 0 minutes
  • Virgil van Dijk (£6.0m) – 90 minutes
  • Georginio Wijnaldum (£5.5m) – 60 minutes
  • Nathan Ake (£5.0m) – 0 minutes
  • Patrick van Aanholt (£5.4m) – 0 minutes

Virgil van Dijk‘s last-minute volley rescued a point for the Netherlands in Gelsenkirchen, a result that sent the Dutch through to the semi-finals of the UEFA Nations League.

Van Dijk had been deployed as a makeshift centre-forward as the Netherlands attempted to claw back a two-goal deficit and the Liverpool stopper popped up with a late leveller to highlight his ability in the opposition box, albeit an aptitude that has been frustratingly unfulfilled in the Premier League since moving to Anfield earlier this year – van Dijk is still yet to score a top-flight goal for the Reds.

Indeed, van Dijk’s last Premier League strike was for Southampton in December 2016. Since then, he has had 37 attempts on goal without finding the back of the net in the English top tier.

Georginio Wijnaldum, who played the first hour of this match, had earlier credited his club colleague for his impact on the Liverpool backline:

I think Virgil has made a difference in the last line because he is a good defender, a big defender. He is an extra man who can defend set-pieces as well.

He is a leader in the last line who not only helps himself with his quality but also the players next to him and so he really helps the team.

But it is not only Virgil, the team helps him also – the players who play next to him or in front of him and the goalkeeper too because we all have to communicate with each other and help each other.

It is good teamwork that makes us do things so well, but of course he has made a real difference since he came.

For much of the evening, van Dijk, Wijnaldum and co. had it tough. Germany were worthy of their 2-0 lead and the Dutch barely had a sniff, not registering their first shot on target until the 56th minute.

Van Dijk and Matthijs de Ligt, so impressive against France last week, had a more difficult evening at centre-back as Germany’s front three – which included Leroy Sane – troubled them with their movement.

Sane played on the left of that attacking trio in a 3-4-3 and scored his second Germany goal in as many games when doubling Die Mannschaft’s lead on 19 minutes – the Manchester City winger collecting a Toni Kroos pass and firing a deflected strike past Dutch goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen.

Sane’s goal and performance sets him up nicely for a period of Premier League games in which he could be featuring more prominently, given Pep Guardiola’s previous reliance on the young midfielder whenever Benjamin Mendy (£6.4m) has been unavailable in the past.

Antonio Rudiger played the whole match as part of Joachim Low’s back three, while Bernd Leno was an unused substitute for the hosts. Patrick van Aanholt and Nathan Ake‘s Fantasy owners would also have been delighted to see the defensive pair remain on the bench for the entirety of the game.

Denmark 0-0 Republic of Ireland

  • Zanka (£4.4m) – 90 minutes
  • Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg (£4.5m) – 90 minutes
  • Christian Eriksen (£9.2m) – 45 minutes
  • Jannik Vestergaard (£4.7m) – 0 minutes
  • Andreas Christensen (£5.0m) – 0 minutes
  • Kasper Schmeichel (£5.0m) – 0 minutes
  • Kevin Long (£4.2m) – 90 minutes
  • Shane Duffy (£4.7m) – 90 minutes
  • Seamus Coleman (£5.2m) – 90 minutes
  • Cyrus Christie (£4.2m) – 90 minutes
  • Jeff Hendrick (£5.3m) – 90 minutes
  • Robbie Brady (£5.4m) – 66 minutes
  • Michael Obafemi (£5.0m) – 10 minutes
  • Harry Arter (£4.9m) – 0 minutes

Seamus Coleman, Shane Duffy and Kevin Long somehow emerged from this UEFA Nations League encounter in Aarhus with a clean sheet, despite Denmark’s almost total dominance in the match.

The Premier League-based trio saw plenty of action as Martin O’Neill adopted a cautious approach for this dead rubber, with the hosts having 26 shots on goal to Ireland’s three – though a Zanka header on 30 minutes was the only time either goalkeeper was tested in the whole match.

Duffy was perhaps the pick of Ireland’s players at the heart of a back three, with the Brighton defender warming up for the Gameweek 13 clash with Leicester City with a towering performance at centre-half and a second successive shut-out of the international break.

Coleman was once again used at left wing-back but was afforded precious few opportunities to get forward.

Robbie Brady, Jeff Hendrick and “out of position” Cyrus Christie were used as the central midfield three and it was Brady who had Ireland’s only two serious attempts on goal, the first a shot from inside the box on 13 minutes and the second a direct free-kick attempt 20 minutes later that whistled wide.

Those three midfielders were up against Christian Eriksen in the first half, the Tottenham Hotspur playmaker seeing a shot blocked by Duffy and then a free-kick creep just over before his withdrawal at the break.

No word has been forthcoming about the reason for his half-time substitution, but with nothing riding on this Nations League encounter with Ireland, it may well have been that Eriksen’s minutes were merely being managed after his recent recovery from an abdominal problem.

Eriksen was caught late by Duffy in the first half, though played on for another 20 minutes after that incident.

Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg joined Zanka in completing 90 minutes for the hosts, with Andreas Christensen and Jannik Vestergaard unused substitutes. Kasper Schmeichel was suspended for this encounter.

Harry Arter also failed to see any action for the second game running, though youngster Michael Obafemi made his competitive debut off the bench in the last ten minutes.

Liechtenstein 2-2 Armenia

  • Henrikh Mkhitaryan (£6.7m) – 90 minutes

Arsenal’s Armenian midfielder lasted the course of the game as his country rescued a late draw in Liechtenstein, a result that was immaterial as Macedonia topped their UEFA Nations League group.

Mkhitaryan captained his national team and was deployed in the hole, rather than wide on the right flank as he has been at Arsenal, registering a joint-high six shots on goal but ultimately ending the match without an attacking return.

The Czech Republic 1-0 Slovakia

  • Matej Vydra (£5.8m) – 64 minutes
  • Martin Dubravka (£5.0m) – 90 minutes

Martin Dubravka was beaten by one of just two shots on target he faced all night in Prague, though was left no chance with Patrick Schick’s chip on 32 minutes that condemned Slovakia to relegation from League B of the UEFA Nations League.

Matej Vydra lasted just over an hour on the right of midfield for the hosts but had minimal impact on the game.

Cyprus 0-2 Norway

  • Mohamed Elyounoussi (£6.2m) – 90 minutes
  • Alexander Sorloth (£4.8m) – 19 minutes
  • Stefan Johansen (£5.1m) – 0 minutes

Southampton’s Mohamed Elyounoussi was dismissed in stoppage time of this victory for Norway in Cyprus, a win that saw the Scandinavian nation qualify for the next stage of the UEFA Nations League.

Elyounoussi collected a second booking of the match with the clock ticking down and will now serve a suspension in the next international break in March.

The Saints midfielder, playing on the left of midfield, earlier had four shots on goal without success.

Alexander Sorloth had a night to forget too, blazing over with the goal gaping after coming on as a 71st-minute substitute.

Sorloth then had another glorious opportunity saved by the Cypriot goalkeeper.

Stefan Johansen was an unused substitute, meanwhile.

Round-up

Grady Diangana (£4.5m) made his international debut as he played 72 minutes of England under-20s’ 2-0 win over Germany.

The West Ham United winger lined up on the right of a front three and went close to opening the scoring with a jinking run and shot that found the side netting.

The youngster later forced the German goalkeeper into a save with an attempt from inside the box.

Despite being withdrawn at half-time in the 1-1 draw at Huddersfield Town in Gameweek 12, the suspension of Robert Snodgrass (£5.3m) this weekend may well mean that Diangana gets a stay of execution in the West Ham side for the visit of Manchester City.

Issa Diop (£4.3m) and Matteo Guendouzi (£4.5m) were both named on the bench in the France under-21s’ match against Spain last night.

Aron Gunnarsson (£4.4m) was an unused substitute as Iceland drew 2-2 with Qatar in an international friendly.

Meanwhile, club team-mate Nathaniel Mendez-Laing (£4.8m) made his comeback from injury for the Cardiff City under-23s. The Bluebirds’ winger played 68 minutes and was on the scoresheet in a 2-0 win over Watford.

Mendez-Laing’s recovery may soon put pressure on Josh Murphy (£4.8m) on the Cardiff flank.

Abdelhamid Sabiri (£4.3m) played the last nine minutes of the Germany under-21s’ win over their Italian counterparts.

      Hopefully Robbo plays 90 mins again today - a benching will then be around the corner.

    Will save ft this week, bench Bennett or Arnautovic?

    Fabianski, Hamer

    Aguero, Wilson, Arnautovic

    1. Holmes

      Benn

    2. All For One
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Why would you bench Bennett?

      Surely Wolves more likely to keep a clean sheet than Arnie scoring against Man City

        Not really comparable. 1 to play every week, 2 if can rotate and use saving elsewhere

        1. FCSB
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          Thanks, I think Laporte is the most sensible option, placeholder for Mendy if he’s returning in a few weeks too

      • Epic Fail

        1 if fit.

      • My Name Is Pepu

        Get both, Doherty this week if fit.

    2. Maddi Son
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 4 months ago

      Surprised there's no love for Coleman on here. Digne well and truly stealing his thunder.

      1. Athletic Nasherbo
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 4 months ago

        The price of him that’s why.

        1. Maddi Son
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          I remember seeing Coleman in every other team pre season when he was 5.5.

          1. My Name Is Pepu
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 4 months ago

            Because no one knew Digne is coming to Everton. The fact that he was priced at 5m was the final nail in the coffin.

            1. Maddi Son
              • 6 Years
              5 years, 4 months ago

              Would be interested to see who people would choose if they were both 4.8m. Just to see if it's a price thing or if they believe Digne will score more points.

              1. MTPockets
                  5 years, 4 months ago

                  Coleman. Almost nobody had Digne before the IB

                  1. jomikijiq
                    • 8 Years
                    5 years, 4 months ago

                    there was no place for him
                    everybody had RAM, Doherty, AWB

                    with variations of defs from the same teams

                • My Name Is Pepu
                  • 7 Years
                  5 years, 4 months ago

                  Digne imo is the better player with a lot of creativity. Coleman was known for his goal scoring exploits but hasn't looked much of an attacking threat apart from that one goal he's scored which came from a shot outside the box. Digne on the other hand has been the most creative FPL player in recent weeks. I don't own either of them but would go for Digne if they were similarly priced.

        2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
          • 6 Years
          5 years, 4 months ago

          i am coleman owner for first 4 gws due to his attcking potential but it has regressed

          1. MTPockets
              5 years, 4 months ago

              Quite the opposite. His gw9-12 stats trump gw1-4, and trump avg last season, and trump Digne for most except set pieces.

            Given fixtures, is Wilson >> Jimenez a decent enough move?

            1. Epic Fail
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              5 years, 4 months ago

              yes

            2. My Name Is Pepu
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 4 months ago

              Nope

              Think Arsenal is a good fixture for Wilson and he's not exactly out of form IMO.

            3. Kala Balla
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 4 months ago

              I own both and will keep Wilson despite the upcoming fixtures as Bournemouth are playing very attacking football atm same is valid for the wolves and Jimenez!!!

            4. Holmes
              • 10 Years
              5 years, 4 months ago

              Nope, Wilson will probably outscore him in next 3 weeks

            5. tafrère
              • 7 Years
              5 years, 4 months ago

              Jimenez is a good option so yes.

              1. tafrère
                • 7 Years
                5 years, 4 months ago

                Not sure Wilson is not a good option anymore though.

            6. MTPockets
                5 years, 4 months ago

                Have both and one going for Arnie next week - probably Wilson.

              • Brosstan
                • 9 Years
                5 years, 4 months ago

                No. Bournemouth's attacking stats are far better than Wolves'.

                • 7 Years

                Good move. I'm keeping Fraser as BOU cover as I think they'll keep scoring

              • 7 Years

              Who are the really injured players to worry about currently . I know Mendy is a definite but surely those 6 in my team aren't really injured

              or are they?

                  Steele's been sub last couple of games, but apparently due to Button injury

                If Coleman & Digne were both priced at 4.8m, who would you prefer in your team?

                Ditch Vardy (for a -4) or give him last chance? He has been a very bad acquisition since i brought in on WC in gw7.

                Was thinking on bringing in Jimenez but is it worth for a hit?

                  How many points do you expect them to get this GW?

                    Jiminez can get the odd 5 pointer or his normal 2 pointer. Or surprise us with a 12 pointer. Vardy i just dont know.

                  Captain Richy is ballsy but might lag off

                  No point owning Salah if you're gonna captain a 7m player ahead of him.

                    Even if on paper Richarlison has the easier fixture?

                      Watford away is IMO a good fixture for Salah.

                          No. But Salah is better than Richarlison

                    Or bench Mendy and ditch Lamela + Firmino.

                  Depends whether you want Stirling and Jim long term, if so I'd say B. I don't normally advocate taking a hit.

                4. Brosstan
                  • 9 Years
                  5 years, 4 months ago

                  Firmino is a very bad pick... but other things more important. A seems good. But would rather get Doherty if you can afford it (or Vinagre)

                  1. Turns
                    • 7 Years
                    5 years, 4 months ago

                    Firmino must have been my all time worst pick. Just above my drunk punt on Lamela.

                5. My Name Is Pepu
                  • 7 Years
                  5 years, 4 months ago

                  Lamela + Firmino to Sterling (c) + Success

                  You can play Bennett this week IMO.

                RMT. 1FT. 0.8itb. Would like to get one City mid in, but can’t afford Mane to Sterling. David Silva is another option but he doesn’t score well away from home.

                since Lossl is y-flagged play :
                a. ham (WOL)
                b. fab (MCI)

                ?

                  • 6 Years
                  5 years, 4 months ago

                  I think they will both concede so I'm going with Fab for potential save points. It's always these type of fixtures where keepers get unexpected hauls.

                  1. Tev
                    • 6 Years
                    5 years, 4 months ago

                    There's hard fixtures, then there's City. He won't haul I don't think, probably a ceiling of about 3. I'd go Hamer

                    1. Maddi Son
                      • 6 Years
                      5 years, 4 months ago

                      I think it's more 50/50 than people would think. Fabianski is a save machine. Conceded 3 against Arsenal and still came out with 5 points.

                  No surprise that Villa, Leeds and Derby are opposed given the size of their supporter bases. Along with Sheffield Wednesday, Sunderland and Nottingham Forest you have the powerhouse fan bases of the EFL. Would be keen to see Leeds, Derby and Villa go up and Huddersfield, Burnley and Cardiff go down.

                  That would severely dent TV audiences in the Championship and then they might realise how reliant they were on those bigger clubs.

                    I dont get it. What are they opposed to?

                      They draw bigger TV audiences (especially Leeds) and so want more money for the TV rights (and probably a larger share of the TV rights money, given they are drawing the TV crowds)

                  For every Digne transfer in there's 100% more Keane transfers in. For every Digne ppg there's 50% more Keane ppg. For every Digne goal involvement there's 200% more Keane goal involvement. For every Digne BP there's 200% more Keane BP. I could go on.

                  There's a bit of margin for error there so I'll row against the tide and trust the numbers for my Mendy transfer.

                    Just get Keane and dont try to be too smart abt it will ya?

                    Mina will be the target. Keane stats halved since he came back from injury
