Reguilón benched as Gameweek 6 continues to hurt FPL managers

The latest unfortunate turn of events in Gameweek 6 of Fantasy Premier League is a Monday-night benching for Sergio Reguilón (£5.6m).

Over 120,000 Fantasy managers picked up Spurs’ left-back for Gameweek 6, inspired by his role in the 6-1 win at Old Trafford and the 3-3- draw with West Ham.

However, Jose Mourinho had other plans, selecting Ben Davies (£4.8m) on the left-hand side of his back-four at Burnley.

Serge Aurier (£5.2m) has suffered the same treatment, replaced at right-back by Matt Doherty (£5.8m).

Thankfully, the rest of the Spurs team lines up mostly as we expected with the heavily backed pairing of Harry Kane (£10.9m) and Son Heung-min (£9.5m) selected at centre-forward and left-wing respectively.

All eyes will be on the right-hand side of Burnley’s defence tonight as Matt Lowton (£4.4m) comes in for his first start of the season.

His preparation for this match has not been ideal as he only recently returned to training from a knee injury, forced into action against Spurs with Phil Bardsley (£4.5m) and Gameweek 5 stand-in Erik Pieters (£4.4m) missing out.

Ben Mee (£4.9m) remains absent so Kevin Long (£4.5m) is James Tarkowski‘s (£5.4m) centre-back partner once again as Charlie Taylor (£4.5m) continues his extended run as the first-choice left-back.

Burnley XI (4-4-2): Pope; C Taylor, Tarkowski, K Long, Lowton; McNeil, Brownhill, Westwood, Gudmundsson; Wood, A Barnes.

Tottenham Hotspur XI (4-2-3-1): Lloris; B Davies, Dier, Alderweireld, Doherty; Højbjerg, Sissoko; Son, Ndombele, Moura; Kane.

    Non Kane owners, what are you hiding behind this evening before his inevitable haul?

    1. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years

      people dont own Kane?

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

        only kneejerkers, Spurs fans and casuals own Kane.

        sill question; got space for me behind there?

            😀

    3. Firminooooo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I have stuck two pencils in my eyes. Can’t watch more of this nightmare FPL season.

    4. Utopsis
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Nothing could hurt / surprise me anymore this week, so reclining on said sofa to watch (hopefully) a decent game.

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

      I've loaded money on him and son anytime goal scorers to make me feel better

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

    So if Kane’s EO is 26% for me, and son is not even listed as a threat... I should be hoping for a brace from both right? Is this how EO works

    1. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Any player on your list of threats is one you want to blank.

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

      This seems like more pointless sh1t to think about...now I’m supposed to watch the game and hope the player I have doesn’t score? I think I’d rather just enjoy the sport then be that pathetic

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

        It's part of the game and common sense. Surely you know that having been on here 11 years

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

      Ah he’s 126% OR. So he’s 26% threat.. misread

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

        EO*

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

    In what kind of sample does Kane have 26% eo 😀

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

      OR 6m?

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

        Nope, iit has to be over 7 million

    2. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      7m OR

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

      People Magazine’s World’s Sexiest Man...even Jonjo Shelvey got 28%

  4. martyhan

    Would you wildcard this team? Not sure if I should or not. Decisions decisions

      Nothing very pressing imo

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Was hoping for 7 or 8 points out of Lamptey this evening. He seems to do poorly on the BPS front, too. 🙁

    2. BooYaKasha
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      WC to what?

  5. TRIPOS TOPPER
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    guys what's the shizzle on Ward?

    unfit or out of form

    have 2FT so may switch to Koufal or Kman from Wolves

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

    Any serious players who own Kane and didn't cap him would want him to blank.

    1. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I just want points

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

        It's gonna hurt you more that way

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

      So the 60% of players that don't own him are not serious players ?

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

        Do you even understand English? I said "who owned".

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

          You never said "who owned".- just saying.

          So explain then, why would I want him to blank when he could win my H2H's and get me a rise in my mini-leagues?

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

            Then good for you. I don't want my OR to drop despite owning him

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

              You really are the Special one. 😆 😆

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

                Okay I really think you're just trolling me now. Good one though!

    3. Big_Andy_GAWA
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Depends on your leagues/H2H's, etc!!

    4. Danno - Emre Canada
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Not in MLs. Not that I own him!

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

    My OR is so bad that I’ll happily take mega hauls from Kane and Son despite captaining Salah

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      My OR is so bad I might consider becoming one of those FPL twatters and offer great advice like get Konsa in.

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

        🙂

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

      Every point Kane scores will negatively impact your OR since his EO is over 100%

  8. Salarrivederci
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    That Digne red was a joke btw.

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      How slow is your stream?

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

      Ancelotti is probably right in what he said..
      Pickford escaping a red card last week in hindsight, has resulted in a tougher penalty vs them on this occasion

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

        Probably but that does not result in a more positive look on VAR tbf.
        Simply shows that all beside line technology (offsides and keepers staying on the line at pen.) is still damn subjective.
        I could understand, that the ref showed Digne a red, but VAR not correcting it was a damn joke.

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

      Let me get in my time machine and go look at it

  9. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Chances of Reguilón staying on the bench tonight, folks? (Have Chillwell first sub...) 😆

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

      I am in exactly the same boat, but 0 chance really. Look at Spurs bench, there are no other options to sub in..

    2. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      We Reguilón any stealing of his property
      We're damn good too
      But you can't be any geek off the street
      You gotta be handy with the steel
      If you know what I mean, earn your keep
      (Reguilóns)

    All my ML rivals have captained Kane, goodnight everyone

  11. Karan14
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Choose:

    A) Kane, Bowen & Kilman
    B) Antonio, Bruno & Masuaku

  12. Joey Barton and Friends
    • 12 Years

    Has there been any updates on Aguero who I might have gotten in last weekend...

  13. Baron Penguin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years

    33 points with Son left. 4.4 million overall. I’m going to turn my phone and television off, get a beer, then go to bed. Good evening.

    1. Firminooooo

      Happy dreams...before you wake up to the FPL nightmare again.

  14. Firminooooo

    Thought Lamptey would cover Kane today.......

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

      He still may

  15. choco27
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    For GW7:
    A. Werner & McGinn
    B. Vardy & O.Romue
    C. Maupay & Grealish
    Thanx

  16. Camino Aleatorio
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Wonder why Davies?

    His speed won't be a factor vs Burnley? Just a rest? Burnley is a different club for Regi, let him watch 60 minutes and then play?

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

    Having a dreadful week, benched Zouma for Lamp

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

      I benched both Chillwell and Reece James. What's your problem? It was correct decision, outcome unlucky.

    2. o0Ash
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Me too. It wasn't a bad decision, though, just a bad outcome.

  18. Mr. Mystic
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Zaha or Grealish?

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

      To ditch or to get? Match started btw

  19. Chucky
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Pope show your class my Son...

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

    Kane in this form won't blank.. Good job captainers! Salah not a worse option beforehand but was really unlucky

  21. Fred54
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Brownhill YC.

    1. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Incidentally Brownhill is a polite way of describing how my GW has gone ...

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

        Brownmountain soon

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

    1 minute yellow card for Burnley...that is some going

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

      Absolutely pathetic refereeing.

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

        Ridiculous - in what planet is such an innocuous early challenge a yellow?! Thought he was supposed to be the country's best as well

  23. Bushwhacker
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Oh. So I guess the referee is going to decide this one.

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

    Burnley playing the Stoke style

  25. You've got red on you.
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Want Trossard out of my team.

    Want Graelish in my team.

    Downgrade who to get the 0.9m needed? And to who?

    a) Jimenez

    b) DCL

    c) Rodriguez

    d) Keep Trossard

    e) Dont get Grealish and do Trossard to someone who costs 6.3m or less.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      out of the pan........

      1. You've got red on you.
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        And into the points! Yeah!

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

      Jimenez to Antonio but probably not this week?

  26. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    That wasn't even a foul (Wood on Lloris). Ridiculous.

  27. Fred54
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Pope nearly spills the ball to Kane, collecting the ball.

  28. Kaneyonero
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    How's Kane doing?

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

      Getting in.

    2. You've got red on you.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Blanked

    3. Fred54
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Bossing the midfield.

  29. Fred54
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Doherty with the most tense throw in ever.

  30. Make United Great Again
    • 11 Years

    Non Kane (C)‘s - we’ve survived the first 10 minutes

    1. aborg
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Hehe. My luck though always seems to turn sour in the last few minutes of every game this GW
