FPL Gameweek 6 team news so far: Injury updates on De Bruyne, Rodriguez and more

The first Friday night Fantasy Premier League deadline of the season is almost upon us, so we’re bringing you a bonus, earlier-than-usual team news article this week with a careful eye on the last-minute mayhem tomorrow.

The managers of Leeds United, Aston Villa, Fulham, Brighton and Hove Albion, Sheffield United, Burnley and West Bromwich Albion all held their official pre-Gameweek 6 press conferences either on Wednesday or Thursday, with Jose Mourinho and Brendan Rodgers set to face the media after their UEFA Europa League ties later this evening.

The headline injury news so far doesn’t come from any of those pressers, however, but from an interview that Carlo Ancelotti conducted with everton.tv.

We’ll round up the key updates below.

EVERTON

Carlo Ancelotti will face the wider media on Friday but he has already delivered an injury bombshell in an in-house interview, revealing that James Rodriguez (knock) is a major doubt for the clash with Southampton.

Seamus Coleman (hamstring) is also sidelined, with his manager saying:

Unfortunately, James [Rodriguez] had a problem during the [Liverpool] game. He had a mistimed tackle with Virgil van Dijk. I think he will not be available for the game against Southampton.

Seamus Coleman had an injury during the [Liverpool] game, I think he will be out for two or three weeks. Jonjoe Kenny is back, he started training with the squad yesterday and I think he will be available for the next game.

CHAMPIONS LEAGUE/EUROPA LEAGUE CLUB UPDATES

Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola will face the media again on Friday but there were noteworthy comments from the Liverpool and Manchester City managers after their UEFA Champions League matches on Wednesday.

On Sadio Mane having an ice pack on his leg after being substituted, Klopp said:

Sadio has since a few days a dead leg and deals with that in that area. That’s the only thing why it’s still painful but it’s not a problem. When he doesn’t play, he puts ice on it.

Guardiola’s post-match comments raised the prospect of Kevin De Bruyne (muscle) and Aymeric Laporte (muscle) featuring in Gameweek 6, meanwhile, although Fernandinho (leg) has been ruled out for up to six weeks and Nathan Ake (groin) has a “niggle”.

I think Kevin [De Bruyne] and [Aymeric] Laporte will start training tomorrow. But I don’t know how it will be tomorrow and the next days. We will see.

It is bad news [for Fernandinho]. It is a problem in his leg. I think he will be out for four to six weeks. It is a big blow for us, with the amount of games.

De Bruyne and Laporte were indeed spotted training in pictures released by the club on Thursday.

Jamie Vardy (calf), Dani Ceballos (ankle) and Willian (calf) will miss their respective clubs’ Europa League ties on Thursday and be assessed ahead of the clash between Arsenal and Leicester City on Sunday.

Rob Holding (hamstring) is out for three weeks for the Gunners but Shkodran Mustafi (hamstring) is back in full training and available for selection.

Eric Bailly looks set for a spell on the sidelines with Manchester United, meanwhile.

LEEDS UNITED

Marcelo Bielsa said that budget FPL defender Pascal Struijk will replace Kalvin Phillips (shoulder) in midfield for the trip to Aston Villa on Friday. Liam Cooper (groin) is still a doubt while Diego Llorente (muscle) remains out.

On Phillips, Bielsa said:

It is not defined how long he will be out for. It could be more or it could be less [than six weeks]. And the one who will play in his place is Pascal Struijk.

Asked if his squad was too small, the Leeds boss added:

The squad is not small, as we have two players per position. For example, we have Bamford and Roberts [up front], Moreno and Pablo [in attacking midfield], Costa and Poveda [on the right], Raphinha and Harrison [on the left].

Almost all of them, barring Bamford and Cooper, play in more than one position. The wingers play on both sides, the full-backs a lot of times do this as well, the defensive midfielders can act as centre-backs.

ASTON VILLA

Reserve striker Keinan Davis (calf) is expected to train on Thursday and come back into contention for Aston Villa’s clash with Leeds but Kortney Hause (muscle) remains out and joins longer-term absentees Wesley (knee) and Tom Heaton (knee) on the sidelines.

Dean Smith said of his improving defence, meanwhile:

I feel the energy and enthusiasm of Matt Cash has improved us. Ezri Konsa has got better and better, along with Tyrone, they’ve got a really good understanding now. Matt Targett has really improved and [we have] the steadiness behind them of Emi.

SHEFFIELD UNITED

Chris Wilder confirmed that Jack O’Connell (knee) is out for the season and estimated that Lys Mousset (toe) will be “back on the grass” in six to eight weeks.

John Fleck (back) will be out for the next month, while the Blades are waiting on a medical report on Max Lowe, who suffered a concussion in last week’s game against Fulham.

The Sheffield United boss said of Rhian Brewster‘s chances of starting, meanwhile:

It was a difficult decision last week as I talked about, but he has put himself right in the frame to be involved at the weekend and start. He’s at the forefront of our thinking.

His natural ability and talent is there, we have seen that already but it’s just the physical and fitness side not opening him up to injury too soon.

There’s always a decision about the timing of that – he’s been bright and bubbly and in our thoughts to start on Saturday evening.

BRIGHTON AND HOVE ALBION

New signing Danny Welbeck will be assessed for match fitness ahead of Brighton’s clash with West Brom, while goalkeeper Christian Walton is also back in training following his recovery from an ankle injury sustained in pre-season.

Alireza Jahanbakhsh (hamstring) and Jose Izquierdo (match fitness) aside, however, the fitness situation is rosy for the Seagulls.

Graham Potter said:

Only Alireza, just still recovering from his hamstring. Hasn’t trained today, so we’ll see how he is tomorrow and the upcoming days. So he’s probably the doubt at the moment, everybody else seems to be OK.

Jose Izquierdo is having another spell with the under-23s tomorrow to build up some game-time. Apart from that, we’re fully fit.

[Welbeck] has had two good days training with us and there will be two more sessions before the game.

He’s kept himself in really good shape and we’re delighted with how he’s fitted into the group on and off the pitch. We’ll make a decision on Danny for Monday nearer the time.

Lewis Dunk begins a three-game ban.

BURNLEY

 1

Sean Dyche brought us up to speed on the fitness latest with the Clarets, saying:

Matt Lowton is making good progress so he will be considered. Erik Pieters managed to get through the game (at West Brom) but he has got a minor calf injury, so he is a doubt – certainly, touch and go I think.

Ben Mee’s getting better. He is not there yet but he’s back on the grass. He will need a bit of an extended period because he has been out quite a long period of time, so we will have to look after that side of things.

Jack Cork (ankle), Bailey Peacock-Farrell (hip) and Phil Bardsley (illness) remain out, along with Mee.

FULHAM AND WEST BROMWICH ALBION

Scott Parker told reporters on Thursday:

Injuries practically stay the same. Harrison Reed has trained with us the last couple of days.

Kenny Tete (calf), Josh Onomah (unspecified), Terence Kongolo (foot) and Joachim Andersen (ankle) remain out.

Slaven Bilić will be without Sam Field for “four to five weeks” after the midfielder suffered an injury to his left knee. 



More detailed information and predicted line-ups can be found in the Team News tab, which will be refreshed before the Gameweek 6 deadline at 18:30 BST on Saturday.

Keep an eye on our Twitter feed, too, for any late-breaking updates.

A video round-up with Andy and Neale will be filmed tomorrow.

    Martinez
    Robbo Chilwell Saiss
    Salah(C) Son Grealish Hamez
    Kane DCL Maupay
    Sub: 4.0m - Dallas Mitchell Bissouma
    1 FT, 0.4m itb
    Looks good to save the FT?
    and who to sub in for Hamez:
    A. Dallas
    B. Mitchell
    C. Bissouma
    I watched the last Leeds game and realize Dallas attacking threat is non-existence. Wish I chose Ayling instead...

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

      C

      1. Who are all Lukakus
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Surely chance of Clean sheet (as low as it is these days) is higher than another Bissouma 30m rocket?

    2. Rasping Drive
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I guess you haven't watched any of the other Leeds games, then. Dallas' attaching threat is hardly non-existent.

      1. Who are all Lukakus
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah you are right, first time I own Leeds asset so I did watch only one game.
        Dallas looked class though, he pushed Traore off the ball like nothing

    3. Bad Kompany
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      A. Dallas does have quite a bit of attacking threat

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

    I'm gonna pull a sneaky Ings cap since Hames and Coleman are out

    1. Voodoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Good luck with that.

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Xssed my mind too

      1. ivantys
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Was on Sterling but I kept thinking he could blank, so I might as well gamble with Ings. Only KDB back would convince me to go back to Sterling.

  3. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    What would you suggest here?

    Martinez
    Chilwell, Semedo, Reguilon
    Salah(c), Son, Pulisic, Grealish, James
    Kane, DCL

    Button, Brewster, Justin, 3.9

    1. Lukakuna
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Save and play Brewster

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

      Play Justin

      Arsenal by all metrics are now a midtable team.

      Their attacking numbers are very poor.

    3. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Play Rodriguez. He either plays or doesn’t feature I reckon. Very low risk of a cameo.

  4. Miguel Sanchez
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Kane and Son benched

    1. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      To look sluggish against Burnley on Monday night in a good ol 0-0

    2. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Vinicius and Bale gonna wreck tonight

  5. Voodoo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    To finally swap Vardy to Kane:

    Would you:

    Swap Bamford to Brewster OR
    Swap Jiminez to DCL

    1. Ibralicious
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Depends on which formation you prefer but DCL the much better playing option, if you want 3-4-3

      1. Voodoo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Yeah 3-4-3, cheers.

  6. Cheshire Duck
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    TAA+Watkins > Matip+Kane for -4 ?

    1. Tinkermania
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Not for a hit. You are taking out 2 players due some good returns.

  7. Ibralicious
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    In a situation like this where J. Rod is very unlikely to start and even more unlikely to come off the bench for a 1 pointer, does it make more sense to keep him in the starting lineup on the off chance he does start?

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

      I’m starting him with the expectation of Bissouma coming in if he doesn’t play. I think a cameo is unlikely.

      1. Rasping Drive
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        He either starts or isn't in the squad.

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

      Yes yes it does. I have Mitchell first sub just in case and Bissouma second

      1. Botman and Robben
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I currently have Bissouma 1st, Mitch 2nd. What is your reason for Mitch 1st?

    3. Lukakwho
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      that’s my logic pretty much plus the ceiling for him is much higher than starting my sub

      1. Ibralicious
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Yupp that's the thinking here

    4. HashAttack
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I'm starting him ... but I also started with Richarlison the other week when he went off injured after 10 minutes

  8. royals forever
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Are there any improvements that I can make to this WC front 8

    Salah Son Havertz Barkley Soucek

    DCL Watkins Kane

    0.6 ITB

    Any ideas would be welcomed

    1. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I guess it depends how fixed you are on your defence, but in short, yes.

      I have this:

      Robbo, Saiss, Creswell, Lamptey, Kilman
      Salah, Son, Grealish, Soucek, Bissouma,
      Kane, Aguero, DCL

      Which I think is stronger personally. I will place either Soucek or 4 defenders each week, but with West Ham's upcoming fixtures, I'm happy with that.

    William Hill odds

    anytime goalscorer:

    Yves Bissouma - 5/1
    Ben Chilwell - 14/1

    clean sheet:

    Brighton - 6/4
    Chelsea - 29/10

    I know who I'm starting

    1. FPL_trail_runner
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      chilwell takes set pieces , doesnt need to score a goal to get points.

      1. Zimo
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        That's only short-term. Ziyech is a setpiece specialist. He will take them and he's almost fit

        1. Zimo
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          I didn't look at original poster post. Hes asking for this week. Jus ignore

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

      Chilwell. Don’t bench him.

      1. jam sandwich
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        technically I'm starting James Rodriguez and benching both 🙂

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

          Chilwell best be before Bissouma

          1. jam sandwich
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            they are both before Branthwaite

    3. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Chilwell second highest paid player at Chelsea, he will get what he wants?

  10. RamaJama
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    With kdb back in training,

    A) Keep
    B) Swap for Sterling
    C) need some Kane, so kdb/Jimmy to Grealish/Kane for -4

    1. Voodoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      C, Jimi has looked poor.

    2. St Pauli Walnuts
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I did C early (risky I know) playing the price game. Thought KDB might be out longer but I've made my bed now, plan to try and get him back for around GW10 and he may well not play yet anyway. I wouldn't bother with B now KDB is back in training but C still worth consideration with Spurs next 3 and Grealish in great form, I plan to keep him even when getting KDB back.

      For free yes for a hit no

      1. RamaJama

        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        This

  13. FPL_trail_runner
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    This is the first week i really think there wont be big scores put up.

    May even be only a handful of teams who get more than 2.

    1. Qaiss
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I think Arsenal will score 3, could see Man City/Liverpool also do the same

      1. FPL_trail_runner
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Arsenal will not score 3. They are ranked 12th this year so far on attack and have even overperformed by nearly 2 goals

        All this despite already playing Fulham and Sheffield United.

        They are a midtable attacking unit now.

        1. Qaiss
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Too early in the season for those kind of assumptions. Leicester look really poor.

          1. FPL_trail_runner
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            You can extend the data way back to when Arteta was appointed

            or

            Even back before that

            All points the same.

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

      Bruno for captain it is

      1. FPL_trail_runner
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Im currently on TAA

        1. Zimo
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          I hope u get a 20 pointer. I have trent and robbo and strongly considering robbo as captain

          1. FPL_trail_runner
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            TAA is still creating lots of chances despite being deeper than Robbo

            And his free kicks are still on point.

            I also dont fancy Liverpool so much against Wilder. He is they type of manager to set up in a clever way.

            Sheffield will concede its just I currently think a Liverpool clean sheet is more likely than a Salah brace

            1. Zimo
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              I knoe that's why im keeping faith with trent because he could have had an easy goal and assist against Everton and a major haul against arsenal on another day.

      2. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Someone basically said im an idiot for considering Bruno cap, some people on here clueless I swear. T
        hey presumably never watched Bruno last game and dont realise Chelsea are one of the leakiest defences in the league. Thriller written all over it that..
        Bruno is a decent cap option this week

        1. Flair
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Worth considering that Mendy and Silva are returning, they looked great vs Sevilla. Silva is truly world class!

        2. Joey Tribbiani
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          You wont.

          1. have you seen cyan
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            I capped DCL vs Pool, Bruno vs Chelsea is not a hard decision frankly

        3. Zimo
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Yeah I've vice captained him twice and my captains have failed while hes gotten a 12 and 11 pointer. Very annoying XD i don't know whether to do Bruno or Kane as captain. Maybe Robbo

  14. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Maupay or Robbo this GW?

    Davis >> Maupay or Davies >> Robbo.

    McCarthy
    TAA, Mitchell, Saiss
    Pulisic, Salah, Rodríguez**, Son, Biss
    DCL, Ings
    (Nyland, Justin, Davies, Davis)

    1. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Robbo he is a machine right now.

  15. Deeney-is-a-god
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Podence-> grealish
    Or
    Jimmy-> kane

    Alteady have son

    1. Corona is not good 4 U
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Kane is in great shape and can go on and do a lot of damage if you don't have him.

      1. Deeney-is-a-god
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I know, but got son

        1. The VAR Team
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Different player

    2. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Grealish

    3. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Po to Gre.

  16. Corona is not good 4 U
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    TAA and Mitrovic -> Kilman and Kane for - 4?

    This sounds pretty stupid, but Kane is in great shape and can go on and do a lot of damage if you don't have him.

    Thank you!

    1. The VAR Team
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      TAA and Mitro's fixtures are too good

    2. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I'm sticking with the former atm but if you really want kane then do it.

  17. Ronnies
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Best option;

    A) Hamez --> Grealish

    B) Lewis --> Lamptey

    B would mean keeping Hamez and benching him.

    Cheers.

    Should I do Vardy to Kane or Aguero?

    If yes which one? I have Son & Reguilon but no City cover.

    1. RamaJama
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Kane

    2. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Vardy.

    3. Sid1891
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I took a risk with Aguero
      We will see
      I can see few goals vs Hammers scored, question is who?

      1. JUNITED
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I also feel the same but Kane record against Burnley is impressive while if Vardy is fit, his record against Arsenal also good.

  20. Bun Rab
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Hart, Doherty, Sanchez, Davies (C), Reguilon, Hojbjerg, Winks, Lamela, Bale, Lucas, Vinicius.

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Davies being used as a CB is interesting.

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years

      Nice lineup

  21. stu92

    How long are we all thinking Rodriguez will be out for then? Him and Richarlison missing for any length of time makes DCL look immediately less appealing.

    1. The VAR Team
      • 4 Years

      Sold all three just now

    2. I Member

      Doesn't sound serious. Back next game would be my guess but he isn't even officially ruled out yet.

      1. DAZZ
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Is ancelotti saying he wont play against Southampton not officially ruled out?

        1. Cilly Bonnolly
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          "I think he will not be available for the game against Southampton"

          Not officially ruled out.

    3. Zimo
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Ancelotti said he "thinks he's out" which tells me there's still a tiny chance and he'll probably be back next game

  22. F4L
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    There it is, Kane essential now with Mourinho not using him in the Europa League.

    1. Seanigula
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Always thought they could handle Linz without him, probably

  23. DAZZ
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Doherty will go down as my worst punt this season, shocking!

    1. Cilly Bonnolly
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Glad I only had him for the first two weeks before dumping.

  24. Ze_Austin

    "Erik Pieters managed to get through the game (at West Brom) but he has got a minor calf injury, so he is a doubt – certainly, touch and go I think."

    - Sean Dyche

    Such clarity

  25. BeWater

    Doherty has been a disaster in FPL this year. Taken two price drops on him and he'll be on the bench again after playing tonight.

    1. DAZZ
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Same boat mate. He’s gone tomorrow for me. Digne, Chilwell and Saiss the 3 im looking at.

      1. BeWater
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Unfortunately I have KDB I need to get rid of too. If I don't get him out this week he's 100% gone next week. We bought him because Aurier is a car crash footballer and now he can't get a game in the prem.

    2. stu92
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years

      Cut my losses at first price drop. Such a disappointment after last year.

      1. BeWater
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Has such a knock on effect in other areas of your team. I had Werner instead of Kane for the first 4 weeks because of the 6M I had tied up in Doherty.

  26. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Martinez
    Lamptey Chilwell Ward
    Son Salah Sterling Grealish
    Dcl Kane Wilson.

    Mitchell Dallas Stephens

    Ok to save transfer this week?

  27. Corona is not good 4 U
    • 3 Years

    Best defender for 4.5? Thank you!

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      probably Targett, or you can risk it with Kilman.

    2. Eddie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      For exactly 4.5?

      Targett, Ayling, Dallas, Masuaku (just not next two), Ward, Webster, Taylor

      In that order. I'm taking a punt on Kilman and hoping he keeps spot.

      You are welcome.

    3. Corona is not good 4 U
      • 3 Years

      Thank you both!

    Spurs fans, Davies starting tonight as CB? Captain too? Any hope he gets a place back in the PL team?

    1. BeWater
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Mourinho seems to like him. Looking forward to seeing how he does tonight. He would be good on the left in a 343 but don't think Jose will go down that road.

    2. Bun Rab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Unless Reguilon get injured, then it's time to let go. It will be like this all season. Not a spurs fan.

  29. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Justin or Brewster as a first sub?

  30. smix
    • 8 Years

    Is PVA expected to start this week ?
