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.

    looking like a 0-0 or Moura/Dembele goal

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

    Doherty goal would be a significant rank boost to dead accounts

      Fully expect it given I chose this week to finally get rid.

    do you guys worry about team selected by % at all? I've just noticed I've got the most template team ever it seems with all 5 most owned mids and all 3 most owned forwards with 3 of the top 5 defenders. Is that a bad thing at this point in the season???

    1. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Depends on your rank

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

      I think about who will get the most points, if it's a tight decision between transferring in some players or a captain then ownership comes in to play

    Did not watch Brighton play:
    How did Trossard look? Time to get rid?

    Can use my 2FT’s to do
    Trossard + Podence (bench) + 0.6
    —> Grealish + Soucek (bench)

    Yay/nay?

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

      Trossard is decent bench fodder ; in some decent positions but the best you're likely to get is an odd assist.

    Great bandage job guys...taped right
    over the cut. He should be sent off for Reguilon c’mon

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

      For 2nd half maybe

      1. KUN+10
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        True

    Why all the fake news about Kane EO? LiveFPL is a great tool. Go there and look around.
    If you are 400k or lower (a lot in this situation this early in the season) then every Kane point benefits you in OR terms.

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

      You plan to end the season below 400k?!?

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

        *opens popcorn*

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

          Keep for the future

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

        No but I'm below 400k at the moment and a Kane haul will get me a green even though not captained.

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

          So green arrow is more important to you than getting closer (pts calculated) to top 400k. Ok... 😉

          1. Forza Papac
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            To get to the top 400k you need to overtake the teams ahead of you. Kane points help to achieve that.

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

            Was only trying to do people a favour by letting them know.

            Have a look at my history and try and imagine in what world a 400k or even 40k finish would even be on my radar.

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

            Current top 400k is not the same as end of season top 400k

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

              Yes, that is correct. The main thing to follow is pts difference to top 10k. Many of those teams that are in top 500k atm will be in top 10k in the end of the season.

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

      Not understood by all RCA.

      Thanks!

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

      Regrdless of where you are, Kane scoring will be good for you if you own since the likelyhood that is EO was over 100% for managers that you expect to finish in top 100k is small. (given that a lot captained Salah)

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

        Good point

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

        That we actually don't know.

    6. The Mandalorian
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I have Kane and Son, my live rank has gotten worse since this game started.

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

      EO is a rather meaningless tool before the second half of the season at the very earliest.

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

        That is correct. The main thing is to get more points than players who are good (or lucky) in this game.

    8. The Mighty Hippo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Forget EO. I don't want to look back at my GW history and see a week when I returned 26 points.

  7. Big boy Bowen
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Worst gameweek ever confirmed

    1. Simon69
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      By what?

      1. Big boy Bowen
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Can tell by the start of this game

  8. Cok3y5murf
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Looks like Son and Kane blanks

  9. noone
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Don't have Kane at all. Only Son, can't wait for a Kane blank with a YC

  10. how now brown cow
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    When you see the joke decisions that see players sent off for "dangerous play" getting away scot free here is odd.

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

    I have only 1 player that didn't blank so far, Saiss. Had also Digne with-2p. Now I hope Kane (C) and Son can save my GW.

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

      same here!!!

  12. Simon69
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Honestly the drama queens in here after 18 minutes are ridiculous.

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

      Its not a drama queen when 7 of your players score 2p and 1 scores -2p

      1. Simon69
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        It definitely is because we all own the same players. Nobody is having a good week ffs. Relax.

  13. Make United Great Again
    • 11 Years

    This game’s been rubbish so far

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

    Pope punishing sellers

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

      Yawn.

    2. Captain Vantastic™
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Pope had owners?

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

      Yeah so confident after that clearance!

  15. The Mandalorian
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    My player scores look like binary code this week.

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

    Burnley G offside

  17. mb1983
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Need about 5 goals from Son in this one to get a vaguely respectable score... Not looking likely.

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

    Ah yes ; Burnley player booked in 1st minute ; Sissoko far worse . . .crickets.

  19. how now brown cow
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Miles offside, but spurs dont look at it tonight.

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

    Son should’ve shot?

  21. Rainer
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Pope nearly gives Son one.

    1. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Filth

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

      Lowton took one for the team, should have been a yellow though.

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

        Nah, very smartly done.

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

    Davies what was that, plum

  23. Jimbo-Jones
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    2.2 in the bank.
    Think it’s time for Podence to go...

    1. Zaha
    2. Grealish
    3. Foden
    4. Barkley (with enough to do Werner to Kane)

    McCarthy
    TAA Justin Konsa KWP Mitchell
    Salah Son Bruno Podence Soucek
    Werner DCL Brewster

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

    Soooo spursie from Spurs I hope they lose

  25. Esalman
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Honest question, why Davies is on the pitch and Reguilon on the bench?

    1. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Rotation. Play again on thursday. Same as aurier/doherty

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

      Age old issue of Spurs fullbacks.

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

      To deal with the threat of Gudmonsson.

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

      Jose thinks this game will be easier than Antwerp away on Thursday.

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

      Mou wants to be Pep.

    6. The Mighty Hippo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Jose is giving him some scraps to keep him happy. The odd league game and some non-important Europa and cup ties.

  26. jwong23
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Davies are struggling against the high press

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

    This is a Bale game, Jose's a fraud benching him.

    1. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Attackers need to work hard. Lucas will run more. Bale come on for 20 mins or so.

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

        Burnley's attack is crap though

        1. how now brown cow
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Not sure that's relevant.

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

      Problem is Bale plays where Son is . . . .

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

        ?

        Bale prefers RW.

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

      Not fully fit.

  28. The Polymath
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Who, in your opinion, are the top 3 defenders to have?

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

      Maybe Robbo Chilwell Castange

    2. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      They are all a bag of shite this season.

      Chilwell and some cheapies.

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

        This

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

      Chilwell Coady Castage Creswell ... all Cs are good

    4. Mid budget coach
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Chilwell Castagne

  29. lindeg
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    I have Son, so naturally I want him to blank

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

    Waiting Kane to score to win some decent money on my betsplit. Can he score? What do you think?
