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.

      Burnley going to keep a CS today to troll Kane and Son owners.

        Yup they look comfortable.

    2. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Yep

    Bottomed

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

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

      Pen still with him, could happen any time

    2. dark91
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      He can. But won't

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

    Best budget striker until Jan?

    A) Watkins
    B) Mitrovic
    C) Brewster + change
    D) Adams

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

      Bamford should be on that list

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

        Better than any on that list?

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

          Yes - I think Leeds will create more opportunities for him. Adams would be the only other one I would consider at the moment.

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

      D

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

      I'd rather have a non playing player than Mitrovic

      from that lot - Adams

    4. caldracula
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Antonio

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

    Long pocketing Kane

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

    If the EO on a player is over a 100% and you haven't captained them your rank will go down as the player accumulates points.

    1. 7shadesofsmoke
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      depends on your rank

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

      Depends on your rank tier. See the previous page where it was discussed.

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

      wrong

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

        So has your rank gotten worse or better during the game?

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

          I'm seeing a picture of a clown every time I check my rank.

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

      My rank is 800k and its gone to around a million since this game started.

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

        Surely that’s not true? There isn’t 2 points between 800k and 1m is there?

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

          I've had a few drinks anythings possible

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

        Its the last game of the gw. All the subs come into play and get calculated too.

  6. J ⚒ Gimme ur Mané
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    That clearance from Tarkowski was unreal lol!

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

    Kane playing deep and picking out son/lucas might work against utd and saints but burnley defence is better than that.

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

    Spurs bandwagon is done

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

      Bale will sort this out

      1. Plant Based FPLer
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Get Lucas off... can't even make a 5 yard pass

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

    Been a poor week but should I roll the transfer or can you see something that needs doing?

    Mccarthy (Button)
    TAA Konsa Justin (Holding Mitchell)
    Salah JRod Son Soucek (Bissouma)
    DCL Werner Kane

  10. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Early days in this match, but signs this GW that duller, lower scoring matches are making a comeback.

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

      And more appalling refereeing.

  11. Tasty Jerk
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Sorry Kane owners. I got him in this weekend and captained, sorry for the blanks

    1. Muchentuchel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      He'll get a Pen 😉

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

    What to do?

    Martinez (Forster)
    Saiss KWP Justin (Mitchell Lamptey)
    Salah Sterling Son Podence (Burke)
    Kane DCL Jimi

    0,1m in bank 2 FT

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

      Want to get rid of Podence but not many options in his price range

      1. Plant Based FPLer
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        That's why he was a bad pick to begin with, by me included.

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

    What was i thinking. Back to the season ticker page for me.

  14. arkom
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    McCarthy / Nyland
    TAA / Robertson / Justin / Mitchell / KWP
    Salah / Son / Mahrez / Podence / Bissouma
    Ings / DCL / Maupay

    0,4£ ITB
    1 FT

    A) Mahrez --> Zaha
    B) Podence & TAA --> Zaha & 6,1£ def
    C) Other?

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

      Oops.. Ings = Kane

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

    Spurs showing their true colours here. Toothless in attack against structured defences and only score on the counter

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

      See Everton and Newcastle games too.

      Reason I captained salah (not that that paid off :()

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

    Blowing that 3-0 lead last game was always going to have a negative impact on Spurs mentally, it may just be a case that they take a while to get going again.

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

      Maybe. I think as Irbox rightly points out they find it hard against well drilled defences.

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

    Spurs not looking good here. Burnley defense all over them.kane playing centre mid.

  18. Well you know, Triffic
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone now tempted to captain Salah instead of Kane next week?

  19. FER FUSCH AKE
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    might not crack 40(-4) at this rate.

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

      Barely making it above 30(-4)...

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

        I’ve only just cracked 20(-4)

        1. Groot the Leveller
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          After a sensible -8 for Kane/werner, and another subseqnt very stupid set of transfers,and a 70 last week, I might struggle to get above 0 this week.

          sigh

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

    Burnley being Burnley.

    Teams like Palace and Burnley are classed as 'banana skin' fixtures on my ticker. They are teams that defend so deep and compact that they can frustrate anyone on their day. Dyche and Hodgson won't change.

    Brighton might be more open for Spurs next week.

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

      Add newcastle to the list

  21. Collie01
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years

    Kane looking for a pen

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

    Lawro's prediction: BUR 2 TOT 1

  23. Gigi_Fernandes
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Digne red card to be rescinded y/n?

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

      Cant see why it would

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

        Really? I think they’ve a strong case, whether it actually is or not is another story.

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

          I'd be really surprised. Whether we agree with the decision or not it was clearly seen so not sure why they would overturn.

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

      No - since VAR looked at it as well, I do not think that’s likely.

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

        Hmm true. Hard to see them retrospectively over-ruling VAR I guess.

  24. Mighty Banana
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    I have Son, not Kane, half (6) of my ML have Kane, and have him as Captain.

    Jose, any chance of taking Kane off for Bale? lol

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

    Jimenez sellers who got Kane must be very anxious

    1. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      For free, it was too obvious a transfer not to do imo. Kane had form, fixtures, eye test and stats, captaincy option.

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

        Not that obvious because I had funds to do it and didn't 🙂

        1. Collie01
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Looks a good decision so far!

    2. Groot the Leveller
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      What about the Bamford sellers who got Kate.....

  26. JONALDINHO
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    My only player who contributed this week is Dallas. A massive 25 pts in total.

    1. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Just Ayling for me. Thought I was off to a great start after playing him over Soucek. Each one of my others blanked lol

    2. melvinmbabazi

  28. Londongeezaa
    • 5 Years

    Kane to Vardy anyone? 🙂

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Hope Reguilon does not come on, have Justin sitting on the bench.
