A total of 133 Premier League players travelled to take part in the 2022 World Cup, so it’s time to analyse how many minutes were played by each.

With top-flight action resuming on Monday 26 December – just eight days after the World Cup final – Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers may understandably be apprehensive about such a quick turnaround.

DATE OF ELIMINATION

For all 133 players, let’s see when their country left the tournament and how long of a rest they’ll get until their Gameweek 17 match, which takes place between 26 and 28 December.

Some players came back early due to injury or personal reasons – like Arsenal pair Gabriel Jesus (£8.0m) and Ben White (£4.7m) – but all players that failed to reach the final four will have at least 16 days to recover physically and mentally.

That shouldn’t be a problem for FPL managers and neither should the 14 that went the whole distance. Of those, only William Saliba (£5.3m) and Ivan Perisic (£5.5m) have over ten per cent ownership, with Lisandro Martinez (£4.5m) slightly behind.

It should also be considered that 11 Premier League teams have a Carabao Cup tie beforehand, which names could return for.

      I've got one 4m defender for 3rd bench, but otherwise a very similar structure. A few posters around here will hate it but I think it might be a smart way to start given fixture congestion & fitness uncertainty. Also allows you to bench Foden or Wilson if expecting rotation/rest, or Zaha for bad fixtures etc

        Cheers, that is very helpful - I've only made 3 changes from my pre-WC team (RJames Salah and Mitrovic in for Castagne, KDB and Jesus).................would you drop Foden for Rashford (allowing Wilson>Darwin)?

          Tricky one. Without KDB and a deep squad, I think I'd take my chances wih Foden. One or two defensive downgrades (Robbo - Patterson?) could enable Wilson - Darwin another way
