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.

    Semedo or Saiss?

    1. Eddie

      Semedo nothing else considered.

    2. BeWater

      Saiss. I haven't been impressed with Semedo so far.

      • g40steve
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Don’t get the hype, he looked outclassed in the last game?

        1. No Professionals
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          I thought he looked absolutely horrendous. And not in the trying things but them not coming off kinda way, but in the no idea how to do the basic aspects of defending kind of way.

      • HashAttack
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Got Semedo on my WC and then watched him last week ... already sold for Kilman

    6. Random Name
      • 8 Years

      Imagine selling Martinez and keeping Leno.

    7. Zimo

      Arsenal never fail to disappoint. They losing again

    8. waltzingmatildas

      A) Sterling to Salah
      B) Bruno to Salah
      C) Jimmy to Kane

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

          U really think Spurs score zero against Burnley? A tight game is one thing but a clean sheet?

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

      Hamez injury has saved me a benching headache

      Had Antonio first sub which always felt like a risk this weekend. Can finally see him getting a pen after being a cm away from one last week v spurs.

    10. FDMS All Starz
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Would you do Davies -> 5.4def for a -4? If so for who?

      Defence: TAA - Justin - Davies (Bernando* - Douglas*)

    11. No Professionals
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      People aren’t really transferring out Rodriguez are they?

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

        Yes they are.

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

        Im not. Only a knock so why take out unless u on wildcard and don't mind losing value

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

        Lots of people have very weak benches so tempting to bring in a decent midfielder than lock in a 2 pointer from the bench

        1. No Professionals
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Most would lose money and want to put him back in. I’d understand more if he was 10m+

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

        Plenty will

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

        He is a season keeper barring a longterm injury for me

        3mil underpriced as Ive been saying since the start of the season

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

          Always puts up world class numbers no matter where he is, ripped up my draft for him preseason and glad to see him repaying the faith

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

          3 mil? So your saying he should have been valued at 10.5? Hell no

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

            His data for assists and goals across his career ( i.e his true value that he has shown in over 200 games) is the same as KDB

            Putting him at 10.5mil is actually undervaluing him

            Look at understat.com

        3. FantasyHero
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Ya he might be a season keeper at this price but 3M underpriced??
          I would say his fair value is 8.5M or absolute max 9M.

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

        I am not that people

      7. No Professionals
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        A price drop would make it easier for people like me to get him in

      8. Piggs Boson
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I don't trust managers. If a manager suggests that a player has a chance of starting, that sometimes means he's out for weeks.

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

          Ancelotti's a true gentleman

        2. El Presidente
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Ancelotti is old school. No Bull

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

          He still played 80 minutes after the knock even though he could easily have been substituted ... maybe Hames just making excuses to have a rest after all his travels on the IB

    12. Booked4Dissent
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Sorry all, I need your help to decide if this Wildcard team is worth it, please.

      Current team:
      Martinez
      TAA; Justin; Robbo; (Mitchel, NA)
      Salah;Son;Fernandes;Foden;Podenc
      Mitro;DCL;(Davis)

      WC:
      Martinez
      Saiss;Lamptey;Robbo; Mitchel;(Stuijk
      Salah;Son;Fernandes;Foden;(Soucek
      Kane;DCL;(Brewster)

      Thanks for the help! 🙂

      1. waltzingmatildas
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Wc to basically to get Kane in? I'm not too sure. Any other way?

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

        If you gonna WC you shoudla done it at the start of the week to make money

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

          Yeah u missed out on a few price rises there bud

        2. Booked4Dissent
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          I take both your points...

          I can get Kane without taking -8.
          I’m gonna get stuck on 6.4m 2nd forward if I don’t WC and want to set up my bench (Soucek and Brewster) for fixture swing. From Kane I can go down to Aguero or Maupay (with Son-> KDB)

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

            Bringing Kane in isn't a bad idea in itself, but it's not worthy of a WC especially when Spurs' fixture isn't the best this week.

            Can I see them winning the game? Yes. Do I think a draw is also just as possible yes? Do I think Spurs will absolutely batter them and Kane will haul? Probably not.

            I'd understand the desire to get him in at all costs if he was facing Sheffield Utd, but even then, if you can wait a week I'd do that instead.

            Kane's stats are incredible but we're also looking at a small sample size and they haven't even played their European fixture this week. Patience will do you good in this situation.

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

        That doesn't seem like wildcard worthy transfers

      4. stu92
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Anything in the bank? TAA > Kilman gives you £3.4m, just £1.5m short to get there on a -4.

        1. Booked4Dissent
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          £2.8m ITB. Already used free transfer

          1. Booked4Dissent
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Based on all feedback I’m not going to WC, will just stick it out with current team...

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

            i would do those 2 next week.

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

      Aubameyang is truly the forgotten man of FPL isn’t he. And to think 5 weeks ago he was the player we all had to have

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

        I’m captaining him on Sunday

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

        Wouldn't have touched him if not for the BGW

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

        Yes, 200 points in the last 2 seasons and that was as a striker in FPL, playing for a dysfunctional Arsenal.

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

          Arsenal are still dysfunctional tho

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

            If Arsenal are dysfunctional then what are United, Chelsea, Spurs? Arsenal are much better than last season and the season before

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

              Fpl trail runner has put it quite well below. I leave u to him

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

              I realise i am now beating this dead horse

              But in the league there has been no improvement in attack or defence based on underlying data

              They performed well in 2 cups games ( semi and final)

              The longterm data in the league since before or after Arteta has been in charge is not improving

              This is a media narrative that has no underlying evidence.

              They have essential become a tiny (tiny) bit better in defence but lost alot in attack.

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

                Tiny bit better in defence? What, under Emery letting teams like Watford and Aston Villa have 30 shots a game against us.

                There’s no media narrative, it’s the opposite. Arsenal never get credit for anything. Been like that since the Invincibles.

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

                  This year, a tiny bit better based on stats.

                  Here is real data from last year. Arsenal defence actually got worse under Arteta during last season. Its a classic case of the eye test not seeing the real story - which is obvious since we all have biases

                  Under Emery + Arteta until Jan 31st : Arsenal were ranked 12th in the league for defence

                  Under Arteta fully last year from Feb 1st : Arsenal ranked 17th for defence

                  I have no agenda, just look for good fpl options.

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

                    Ranked by what metric? xGA? Not saying you're wrong but interested.

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

                      Yes xGA on understat.

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

                    Auba has proved he’s a good FPL option though, would have been the second highest scoring player last season if he was a midfielder. He could haul against Leicester.

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

                      Yep

                      He can be. However historically he doesnt score, never mind haul against top 6 teams

                      He may just due to variance this week (randomness) but isnt a good captain shout against the top 6 - as this season has already shown.

                      However based on probability of prediction based on his career data he is more likely to score and haul against the bottom 6. Not leicester.

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

                        Just a feeling really. It’s fun when you’re instinct pays off. I captained Bruno twice this season for 2 hauls when no one considered him and it paid off. More fun than being a sheep.

                        1. No Professionals
                          • 6 Years
                          3 years, 5 months ago

                          Last week when most went Kane and scored 10 points more

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

                    xGA or xG are even more flawed than eye test.

                    1. Klaren
                      • 6 Years

                      Just to clarify, it’s not a meaningless stat, it can be a good starting point for research but definitely wouldn’t use it to reach any conclusions.

          His underlying numbers are way down this year for xG and xA

          Plus Arsenal are also putting up poor numbers in attack and defence ( and have been for over 1 year)

          The one good thing is Auba is very predictable. He blanks against top 6 and scores against bottom 6

          He scored all his goals last year bar 2/3 against the bottom 6.

          He is a very poor captain this week on all metrics

      Auba dropped for poor performances, unlucky owners.

      Leno is a clown.......why on earth did they sell Martinez ......and for such a small amount .........Crazy

      1. Random Name
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Because no one at that club understands goalkeeping. Kept Leno because he’s a better shot stopper.

        But over the long term shot stopping doesn’t win you games, you need a goalkeeper who doesn’t make mistakes, doesn’t parry the ball back to defenders, catches the ball as much as possible and infuses confidence in his defence.

        They had that in Martinez and they threw it away in favour of a clown

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

          "shot stopper" ... that was the reason Chelsea gave when buying Kepa

        2. Klaren
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          I’m not sure who makes more mistakes, but I remember Martinez making a similar mistake to the one Leno did at least 3 occasions since post-restart (2 in Arsenal, 1 in Villa) so he is prone to making similar mistakes too.

      Do we think Ben Davies might play as a CB after the horror show vs the hammers? Seems like he will be playing there today and if he does well surely he should keep that place? Worth selling him for a -4 now? No playing sub

      1. No Professionals
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Ben Davies has never been the answer to any defensive question

        I think that's why Davies plays over Toby.

        I have no idea who will start next Premier League game. If you have no one to come in, I'd probably sell.

        Is it worth using a FT to play Kilman instead of Chilwell?
        *Else I will roll the FT to the next gw
        **Saiss owner also

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

          It’s not even clear Kilman starts this week

          1. Shark Team
            • 6 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            He will just replace my 3.9 Def and also cover wolves Def in case Saiss is the one who is dropped but I don't know if it's worth only for 4-5 pts

            Thank you, but this horror show isn't that bad either.

        2. TheDragon

          Mitrovic -> Maupay

          Not a horror show at all

          Where you getting horrorshow from? Upgrade Mitro or Wilson maybe and lose one Pool defender. Otherwise looks solid.

        A) Reguilon
        B) Adams

            • 8 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Yep, am only looking for cover that I can afford, in case Rodriguez doesn't play (don't want to sell him). So either an extra defender or a replacement for Brewster as my 8th attacker

      • Nice to Finally Michu
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        James already at -13.8 on fplstatistics. Is it inconceivable to imagine a .2 drop in a week if he really doesnt play, given the high ownership? I don't think so.

        1. Baps hunter
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          He won't drop .2

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

          Eh does it really matter if we'll keep him. Its good for ownership to decrease.

        Thoughts about bringing in Mahrez? Nailed on or not? Worth the risk?

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

          Could easily be Sterling Aguero Torres

          And thats before you add Foden and potentially KDB back into the mix

          Avoid

        A little nervous about dumping Ings and Jim, considering their consistency, but they're not going to haul too often. Certainly not like Kane could, at least.

        From carlo's comment JRod still have some chances of starting, if he shake that knock off. Starting him in the team and with lamptey as the first sub to replace. GTG?
