An extra-long September/October 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 fortnight or so.

In this piece, we tot up how many minutes each Fantasy asset clocked up while on duty.

Amassed game-time can be a concern in the Gameweek(s) after international breaks – and especially so after this bumper, three-week one.

MOST MINUTES PLAYED

‘G+A’ are goals and assists.

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.

    Which option on WC?

    A) Rogers & Tav (Will be 5th mid to rotate with Grob & Schade + 6m FWD)

    B) Palmer & 4.5m (Will have to play 6m FWD every week)

      Pretty good, for me I would swap Gvardiol out for a 5m defcon beast defender and upgrade one of the 4m defenders.

    2. Nice team. How are you seeing arsenal from a CS perspective with their upcoming run? Obviously have strong feelings?

    Start Munoz or Davis?

      Munoz, why else have him?

    Why does the club by club guide look like this? Much easier to work with:

    If Pedro not pictured in training (understand he hasn’t been sighted yet), rate this WC team.

    Tzolakis / 4m
    Hall / Gvard / Konsa / Cala / Egan
    Palmer / Roger’s / Saka / Schade / GroB
    Haaland / Gonzalo / Wissa

    Played this team across 5 weeks and can bank a transfer each week with a bit of room if Konsa injured. No money ITB here.

      Didnt Pedro play a 95 min shift over break?

        Nothing reported from what I could see. Was it behind closed doors maybe?
