When Son and Ryan return to FPL after Asian Cup exits

Fantasy Premier League managers have been handed another potentially template-breaking opportunity after the Asian Cup quarter-finals.

South Korea, one of the pre-tournament favourites, were surprisingly knocked out by Qatar, which means that Son Heung-min (£8.6m) could be back in FPL action as early as Gameweek 24.

With Australia also dumped out of the competition by hosts United Arab Emirates, Mat Ryan (£4.4m) will also be eyeing up an FPL return in the coming days.

South Korea 0-1 Qatar

Mauricio Pochettino might be quietly delighted that South Korea were stunned by minnows Qatar in the United Arab Emirates.

Son should be back with Tottenham by Sunday thanks to a FIFA rule, which means the FPL midfielder will officially available in Gameweek 24.

It stipulates that players who received international call-ups during their domestic season have to return to their club within 48 hours if the competition took place in a different confederation to which they play in regularly.

That obviously applies to Son in this example as the Asian Cup took place in the AFC, whereas the Premier League falls under UEFA.

“Players complying with a call-up from their association under the terms of this article shall resume duty with their clubs no later than 24 hours after the end of the period for which they had to be released. This period shall be extended to 48 hours if the representative teams’ activities concerned took place in a different confederation to the one in which the player’s club is registered. Clubs shall be informed in writing of a player’s outbound and return schedule ten days before the start of the release period. Associations shall ensure that players are able to return to their clubs on time after the match.” – FIFA Rulebook

That means that Son could be in contention to start against Watford in Gameweek 24, Spurs’ match taking place on Wednesday night.

While he will officially available for the meeting, whether Pochettino decides to start him is another matter.

The FIFA rule means Son will be back by Sunday, which does give him some time to overcome any jet-lag by Wednesday, and his chances of starting look decent, with Harry Kane (£12.5m) and Dele Alli (£8.9m) out injured.

However, we will have to wait and see what Pochettino says in his pre-Gameweek 24 press conference on either Monday or Tuesday before being completely sure. Son’s exploits with his country and the travelling involved might put the Spurs boss off rushing him back in straight away. After all, he reportedly looked fatigue in South Korea’s final group stage match and last 16 clash in the United Arab Emirates.

“I wasn’t fully prepared. I felt physically empty. I feel so sorry to have let down my team-mates, coaches and the fans. I would rather not speak about it really but I haven’t felt right physically. I was losing sleep – I should have looked after my condition better.” – Son Heung-min

Either way, Son will have a point to prove upon his Premier League return after being on the wrong end of a highly unexpected result in the quarter-finals of the Asian Cup.

Owners of Christian Eriksen (£9.4m) can also take some encouragement as Son’s return would boost the Dane’s assist potential.

“I know many people expected big things of us. I’m so upset that I haven’t been able to produce my best. It’s a reminder to us that there are not teams in Asia we can take lightly.” – Son Heung-min

South Korea XI (4-2-3-1): Kim S-G; Kim J-S, Kim Y-G, Kim M-J, Lee Y; Ju (Ji 82′), Jung; Lee C-Y (Lee S-W 84′), Hwang I-B (Koo 74′), Son H-M; Hwang U-J.

United Arab Emirates 1-0 Australia

Brighton goalkeeper Ryan could also be back in Premier League action in Gameweek 24, as a result of that aforementioned FIFA rule.

He will be back at the Amex Stadium by Monday at the latest, ahead of a trip to Fulham on Tuesday.

As a goalkeeper, he is less likely to miss the meeting, although Chris Hughton will still have to assess his mental state of mind as a result of travelling and jet-lag.

Brighton’s local newspaper the Argus appear confident that Ryan will play against Fulham, although David Button (£4.0m) will still be hoping to keep his place one last time.

“We will get them back as quickly as possible but then you have to assess. Travelling distance is not too bad. Maty’s position is a little bit different to Alireza but the moment we can get them back, we will do.” – Chris Hughton

The fact Ryan has dropped in price to £4.4m while away with Australia will be of interest to anyone making wholesale changes to their squad. Despite a Blank in Gameweek 27, Brighton rank fourth-best for defensive potential between now and Gameweek 29 on the Season Ticker.

The Seagulls, and probably Ryan, will have a corresponding Double Gameweek at some point too.

The goalkeeper was involved in the incident that cost Australia a place in the semi-finals, although was not particularly at fault.

Centre-back Milos Degenek under-hit a back-pass in the 68th-minute, allowing Ali Ahmed Mabkhout to go round Ryan and slot the only goal of the game into an empty net.

Australia XI (4-4-2): Ryan; Behich, Degenek, Sainsbury, Grant; Kruse (Mabil 73′), Milligan, Irvine, Ikonomidis; MacLaren (Leckie 60′), Giannou (Nabbout 80′).

Vietnam 0-1 Japan

Maya Yoshida (£4.1m) was a key man for Japan as they booked their place in the semi-finals of the Asian Cup.

Their win over Vietnam, and progression to the last four, which begins on Monday, confirms that the centre-back will be unavailable for Southampton in Gameweek 24. Even if the Samurai Blue are eliminated at that stage it will have taken place too late for Yoshida to return in time for the midweek FPL action.

That should ensure further starts for Jan Bednarek (£3.9m), Jannik Vestergaard (£4.6m) and Jack Stephens (£4.2m) when the Saints host Crystal Palace on Wednesday night.

Yoshida, captaining Japan once again, impressed as the leader of their defence against a spirited Vietnam side.

He even had the ball in the net from a 24-minute corner, but the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) confirmed he had done so with the use of his hand, so the goal was ruled out.

This quarter-final victory was the second knockout match in a row where Japan went through on just a one-goal margin following a performance lacking in attacking prowess.

This time they had to rely on a penalty awarded by VAR, which has been seen by some as a contentious decision.

They may have to up their game to book a place in next week’s final, although Yoshida’s work at the back means they have still only conceded three times in five matches.

Japan XI (4-4-2): Gonda; Nagatomo, Yoshida, Tomiyasu, H Sakai; Haraguchi (Inui 79′), Endo, Shibasaki, Doan; Kitagawa (Ōsako 72′), Minamino (Shiotani 89′).

China 0-3 Iran

Alireza Jahanbakhsh‘s (£6.7m) absence from Gameweek 24 was confirmed on Thursday as Iran beat China in the quarter-finals of the Asian Cup.

Team Melli will now play Japan in the first semi-final of the competition on Monday.

Even if Iran were to lose in the last four, that match is just one day before Brighton’s trip to Fulham on Tuesday night, which would not leave enough time for Jahanbakhsh to be involved.

The winger started for the third time in a row but was replaced by Saman Ghoddos in the 68th minute.

Deployed on the right of a 4-2-3-1, Jahanbakhsh was unable to add to his goal tally.

Thankfully for Fantasy managers, the fact he will now definitely miss Gameweek 24 has little impact.

It does, however, ensure less competition for Solly March (£5.0m), Jurgen Locadia (£5.3m), Pascal Groß (£6.7m) and Anthony Knockaert (£5.2m), all of whom will be vying for places on the wing or as the number 10 behind Glenn Murray (£6.3m).

Iran XI (4-2-3-1): Beiranvand; Mohammadi, Kanani, Pouraliganji, Rezaeian; Hajsafi, Ebrahimi; Taremi, Dejagah (Cheshmi 76′), Jahanbakhsh (Ghoddos 68′); Azmoun (Ansarifard 86′).

    Sterling has ARS and eve in GW 25. TC loading...

    Why do people keep banging on about a double in GW25? It’s impossible, far far too short notice.

    1. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Pep seemed to think it was possible

      1. Del Monte
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        He’s guessing just like everyone else.

        1. Deulofail
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Unlike you, who knows more?

    2. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Pep intimated it was probable

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Hmm people seem to have taken this due to the wording of Crellin's tweets, I think. iirc Pep was more like "Meh we play when we play and we'll deal with it"

        1. Eat my goal!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Yes but for the manager to be considering it possible it had to be so, no?

          1. Deulofail
            • 8 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            I'd have thought so. You said probable, not possible...

            1. Eat my goal!
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 5 Years
              5 years, 2 months ago

              Yeah fair play, small margins - Just figured if the manager is concerned about it, prepared for it then it’s more than just a vague possibility

    3. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I don't think it is impossible. But agree that the probability of it has been overstated. I expect fans groups, police, stewards and paramedics to raise concerns based on short notice.

      1. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Fans groups bottom of that list of decision makers. Public transport also important. No safety, no games. Not forgetting snow 😉

      2. BoleynWin
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        I assure you that Police have absolutely no say in when games are played, locations, kick off times or allocations. It’s an absolute myth, purely money motivated.

        1. GreennRed
          • 12 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Really? They should try having games without traffic control, crowd control and people to stop some rival fans beating the shi+ out of each other.

    4. GreennRed
      • 12 Years

      It'll continue until GW26!

      TC38 on Kane 😮

      1. Rainer
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        With the goal scoring form that Llorente is in, I'm not sure Kane will play.

    2. Miguel Sanchez

      GW 36 Salah vs Huds to put one hand on the title

    Other time that the teams missing out on GW27 (MCI, EVE, CHE, BHA) could play is midweek after GW29,

    Man City would have (eve,bou)
    Chelsea would have (BHA,ful)
    Everton would have (MCI, LIV)
    Brighton would have (che, HUD)

    Most would avoid Everton, but Chelsea, Brighton & City players still look decent shouts

    1. Mysterion

      The Button wagon could be revived if there's an Oceania Cup around then...

    What’s the best tactic for chips?

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Salt plus vinegar

      1. HurriKane
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Fish and chips (crispy) sounds good to me

      2. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Vinegar first. Otherwise you wash the salt off!

        1. Pieterke30
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          No vinegar on chips.

          Belgian here and cant stand it

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Bit of a hipster and like HP Sauce with mine

    3. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Depends on your team and which players you might want to own, personally, as we get to the business end of the season (and which teams they belong to). Different strategies allow for more fixtures for certain teams.

      1. Del Monte
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        It’s more difficult this year I feel as the blanks seem to be immediately before the doubles.

        1. Deulofail
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          Yeah very tight. I dislike the chips with a slight passion. Who wants this kind of headache every year? But if we gotta deal with the headache, the most popular strat at this time seems to be to load up on BGW31 and (naturally) BGW33 players, then FH in DGW32, WC in GW34 before DGW35.

          But there are a couple other popular variations, and then rogue ways to go about it too.

          1. Amey
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            This strategy is great imo

            1. Deulofail
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 2 months ago

              I'm gonna put more thought into it, but currently still favouring FH in 31.

              1. Deulofail
                • 8 Years
                5 years, 2 months ago

                Actually if City have a double in 25, that probably changes a lot for me. Too confusing though

              2. Del Monte
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 12 Years
                5 years, 2 months ago

                How do you avoid the blanks in 33 and load up on doubles for 32?

                1. TorresMagic™
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • Has Moderation Rights
                  • 14 Years
                  5 years, 2 months ago

                  Vinegar chip.

                2. Deulofail
                  • 8 Years
                  5 years, 2 months ago

                  Load on doubles with FTs. They will likely include a lot of players we'll want anyway, unlike the blanks. Blank 33 might be a problem, but possibly manageable, since there will be fewer blank fixtures than GW31.

              3. Amey
                • 5 Years
                5 years, 2 months ago

                FH dgw31 is set for me.
                Biggest dgw & no need for planning
                Just getting best team for the gw & planning ahead for bgw31&33 along the way

                  • 9 Years
                  5 years, 2 months ago

                  There are blanks in GW31.

                  1. Amey
                    • 5 Years
                    5 years, 2 months ago

                    We can plan for them 😉

                    1. fedolefan
                      • 9 Years
                      5 years, 2 months ago

                      Yeah, but your first line said it's a DGW. It is not.

                      1. Amey
                        • 5 Years
                        5 years, 2 months ago

                        I meant 32 sorry 😛

      Is there a best tactic?

      1. Del Monte
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Probably not.

        Just wondered what the general consensus was, most confused this year compared to previous years.

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years

      There is no 'best tactic'

      But personally I Will use FT to get in bgw31 and 33 players, FH32 WC34, BB35

      Not sure about the TC yet

        • 5 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        what about curry sauce?

    Does anyone know when the replay dates might be?

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Tuesday & Wednesday between GW25&26.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Normally 10 or so days after.

    Hudson Odoi to Son is a no brainer?

    1. Del Monte
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      No, Son said today that his physical condition is bad.

  16. Miguel Sanchez

    If you had to TC Salah in a SGW what would be your preferred Anfield fixture to do it in:

    A) Bournemouth (GW 26)
    B) Watford (GW 28)
    C) Burnley (GW 30)
    D) Huddersfield (GW 36)

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years

      A

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Looking at how the fixtures fall around the other games this might be a good shout

    2. Mysterion
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      B because he likes them as much as Suarez loved Norwich

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Very true - only issue is this game is sandwiched between two massive away trips to Old Trafford and Goodison

  17. EL tridente
    • 6 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    After next GW

    Auba and Redmond To son and Rashford for -4?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      For GW25?

  18. WVA
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    G2G? Power 6!

    Lossl
    Dunk AWB Bednarek
    Salah Hazard Sane Pogba Son
    Auba Jiminez
    Hamer Success Cook Manga

    1. FC Hakkebøf
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Really weak defence

  19. fedolefan
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Can easily get 6-7 players from those confirmed GW31 fixtures.

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      What's your GW32 DGW team like?

      1. fedolefan
        • 9 Years

        I'll only share if you tell me your GW35 team.

    2. Amey

      +1

  20. Flynny

    I am looking forward to seeing Leeds back in the PL as i miss the rivalry that Leeds and Man United have had histrionically and i want also want to this Bielsa character in the PL.

    I went to see Leeds play Man United back in 2001 with the game ending in a 1-1 draw when they had a smashing team that included the likes of Rio Ferdinand,Ian Harte,Lee Bowyer,Harry Kewell,Robbie Keane and Mark Viduka.

    Deadly buzz and rivalry between the fans that time.

      ok grandad

  22. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Anyone got a clue what they are doing this week?

    1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Regarding FPL before I get any wisecracks. 😉

    2. Deulofail
      • 8 Years

      Have Alli and 1FT. I'm at a loss :'(

      1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Can you afford to bench him for this week?

      2. Flynny
        • 9 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        Saving an ft!!

        1. Deulofail
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          I actually could with AWB on the bench, but will probably take my chances with Son instead 😀 AWB will likely come on for AWB anyway and leave me with 0 subs for the other 9 players.

          1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 7 Years
            5 years, 2 months ago

            AWB will come on for AWB? I know he's amazing but you can only have 1 of him 😉

            1. Deulofail
              • 8 Years
              5 years, 2 months ago

              TAA. Acronym for acronym. My brain is mush thanks to FPL chip strategies. #justiceforchipvictims

    3. WVA
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Have Snodgrass Alonso and Hazard and no City!

    4. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Nah, one injury changes that or fixture announcements.

    5. MASTER ROSHI
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Looking at Son or City if DW confirmed

      1. Toblerone52 - Zlatan Ibra-H…
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 2 months ago

        You'd be buying that city mid for Chelsea, Arsenal at home with Everton away and then a blank. 3 games within a week which are tough enough anyway and in which Guardiola is bound to rotate a fair bit, most likely for the Everton game. Can't see it being worth it to get a city mid in.

  23. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Chances of Son starting next game in the league ?

    1. fr3d
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      High

    2. MASTER ROSHI
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      I think quite high, based on him having enough time to rest and spurs having few other options

    3. WVA
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Low IMO will probably come on

    4. GreennRed
      • 12 Years

      Not clear yet. Was fatigued during Asian Cup. Wait until Tuesday for update.

    5. Yoshimiwinz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      Wait for Poch presser, or perhaps read this article.

  24. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    It's still possible to City have DGW 25 if Everton won or lose vs Milwall right ?

    What else need to happen ?

    1. Deulofail
      • 8 Years

        1. Deulofail
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 2 months ago

          I have no contacts. I prefer to just yell when I need company.

  25. 007 [RoboKlopp]
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 2 months ago

    Still have Kane, need to replace him with ...
    A. Auba
    B. Kun (have no City)
    C. Higuain (have Haz)
    D. Fodder, use the money in midfield (Son, Sterling, Sane)

    Front 8
    Salah, Haz, Pogba, Rich, Hojberg
    Kane, Rashford, Jim

    1. Rainer
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 2 months ago

      Missing training due to illness.

      Even on 1 leg he'll be playing no Wednesday, no need to worry.

    1. Samwise

      great question. should you? Normally i weigh up the pros and cons of each move, and then decide... this might help. A
