The November 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.

In this piece, we tot up how many minutes each FPL asset clocked up while on duty. Amassed game-time is sometimes a factor after an international break, especially with a busy winter period ahead of us.

The game-time compilation is now mostly automated, with the subsequent tables coming from Datawrapper.

With this being a relatively new process of logging the game-time, let us know below if you spot anything untoward.

For all the injury scares that have emerged ahead of Gameweek 12, check out our press conference rounds-up from Thursday and Friday.

ANY LATE RETURNEES?

Players from non-European countries are often the last ones back through the door at their respective clubs, which raises concerns about their availability for the upcoming Gameweek.

While those concerns frequently amount to nothing, there are occasions where international exertions have been a factor.

As usual, there were some international fixtures taking place in the Americas in the early hours of next Wednesday morning – although fewer than normal:

‘G+A’ are goals and assists.

HOW MANY MINUTES EACH PLAYER RECEIVED: 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 country’s two internationals (not necessarily the second game).

Zeros indicate they were in the matchday squad but were unused.

TopMarx Fan of Fantasy Football and Monty Python. "Archimedes out to Socrates, Socrates back to Archimedes, Archimedes out to Heraclitus, he beats Hegel. Heraclitus a little flick, here he comes on the far post, Socrates is there, Socrates heads it in! Socrates has scored! The Greeks are going mad, the Greeks are going mad! Socrates scores, got a beautiful cross from Archimedes. The Germans are disputing it. Hegel is arguing that the reality is merely an a priori adjunct of non-naturalistic ethics, Kant via the categorical imperative is holding that ontologically it exists only in the imagination, and Marx is claiming it was offside.

    1. JBG
      • 7 Years

    2. Viper
      • 15 Years
      21 days, 18 hours ago

      Would you do Gabriel ->VVD if it meant benching Richards? Alternatively just wait a week and save FT

      1. Ausman
        • 2 Years
        21 days, 18 hours ago

        Why would you bench Richards against Wolves??

      2. Letsgo!
        • 9 Years
        21 days, 18 hours ago

        No because liv will concede still

    4. Crazy RedDevil
      • 13 Years
      21 days, 18 hours ago

      Mbeumo (MU) and Richards (CRY) or Gakpo (LIV) and Richards (CRY) ? Please suggest as my front 3 are Haaland, Thiago & Woltemade and I can replace Woltemade by Mateta if I take Gakpo (LIV) and Richards (CRY).

      WC is active, planning to BB in GW13, what do we think?

      Roefs - Dubravka
      Timber - VVD - Munoz - Senesi - Digne
      Semenyo - Saka - Rice - Caicedo - Xhaka
      Haaland - Mateta - Thiago

        Fitting username if you're going with no United mids! Very Punk ethos to break moulds lol

    6. Eightball
      • 5 Years
      21 days, 18 hours ago

      Gabriel + Semenyo to Munoz + Mbuemo

      Thoughts? I got Semenyo at 7.2m so have quite a bit of money wrapped up in him.

    7. SpaceCadet

      Semenyo > mbeumo -4 yes or no?

      1. Pino
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        21 days, 18 hours ago

        Considering the same, but not sure. You are doing it for -4 and will be selling Mbeumo in 4 GWs.

    8. thetommy14
      • 5 Years
      21 days, 18 hours ago

      Which option to go for a -4?
      Already have Timber and Mbeumo.

      A) VVD, Bruno
      B) De Ligt, Saka

    9. theshazly
      • 2 Years
      21 days, 18 hours ago

      Pope ( Dub )
      Gabriel* Timber Guehi* ( Diouf / Mukiele )
      Saka Mbuemo Semenyo* Enzo* ISarr
      Haaland Thiago ( DCL )

      3 FT / 0 ITB

      Thinking of:

      Gabriel >> VVD or Saliba or who ?
      Enzo >> Neto yay or nay ?
      Pope >> Martinez or Verbruggen ?

      Any thoughts or advices ?
