The March international break reached its conclusion in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
Well over 200 Premier League players have been representing their countries over the last week.
As well as injury and illness being concerns regarding player availability in Gameweek 30, amassed game-time – and ergo fatigue – is a possible factor.
In this piece, we tot up how many minutes each FPL asset clocked up while on international duty.
We’ll also provide our usual round-up of who the last players in midweek action were.
It should be said that both late returns and accumulated minutes may be less of a concern in Gameweek 30 than they usually are. The Premier League doesn’t resume till next Tuesday, rather than this weekend, so there is a bit of extra breathing space and recovery time in this instance.

HOW MANY MINUTES EACH PLAYER GOT: A CLUB-BY-CLUB GUIDE
Please note that any gaps in the M2 column should be because a player didn’t appear in the matchday squad in one of their countries’ two internationals (not necessarily the second game).
Zeroes indicate they were in the matchday squad but were unused.
