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.

    The joke here that the way this week is going means that this match is going to end 1-0 looks more likely every moment.

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

      Kane OG.

  2. Duke Silver ☑
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Woeful game so far.

  3. I SPEAK ENGELS AND DRINK GI…
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Players I might consider getting rid of:

    Robertson
    Lamptey
    JRod
    Maupay

    I have 2FT and 0,0 itb. What to do here?

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

      Get rid of Maupay. Monitor Rodriguez

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

      J Rod to Zaha and Maupay to Antonio next week?

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

    So much toxicity over a 4.5 Lamptey just now and none on this game boring

  5. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Spurs will have to score twice before Burnley change the way they play and have anything like a high line.

  6. Duke Silver ☑
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Just looking at next week's fixtures. Loads of captaincy options

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

      Kane

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

      that's what people said this week!

      1. Duke Silver ☑
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

      Who's your front-runner

      1. Duke Silver ☑
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Salah at the moment. Can't see him blanking for 2 home matches in a row.

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

      Salah

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

        Oh you going with Salah?
        *switches from Salah to Kane*
        😀

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

    Kane and Son not penetrating the box, just fore playing around the edges.

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

      Burnley not leaving many holes open

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

      not stroking the ball around enough

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

    Well that was rubbish. Get lo celso on.

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

    Imagine having Son and Kane

    1. Paul Psychic Octopus
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I imagine it's been great fun the past few weeks.

    2. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Nope, imagine having Kane, son and reg!

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

      Son and Dier

    4. Gobigorgohome
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      over Zaha and Bamford 😉

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

      Imagine owning anyone other than Bamford this week...

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

        Lol to that haha.
        Best quote I’ve heard for this GW !

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

      They're on par with the rest of my team this week.

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

    For once I don’t mind watching a boring game like this one !
    From a Son and Kane non capper 🙂

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

      Yes, since C Salah failed it really doesn't make big difference how many points they get or don't get.

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

        It does if Kane or Son score as we will drop badly down the ranks !

  11. Van der Faart
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Very odd behaviour from Oliver there. Wasnt even 3 minutes played, Spurs on the attack and he blows for half time.

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

      Especially as took about 5 to patch toby up.

      Maybe he was as bored as us.

  12. Scholes Out For Summer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Did everyone forget how Dyche and Burnley plays? This is classic Brexit football from Dychey

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

    Top 10k casuals finally exposed. Imagine capping Kane away at Burnley...

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

      Imagine owning Kane or Son

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

        Fudgy knows...

    2. Threat Level Midnight
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      This is a fact

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

      Except that every captainable player actually blanked this week 😀

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

        Except Hattrick Patrick!

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

      There is still another 45 mins left to be played...

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

      Lol, after all this time, I still can’t work out if you are serious or not!

  14. beric
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Its nice being a son and kane owner/non capper. Its nice if they dont score, it'll also be nice if they do. Happy days

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

      Can't be both surely.

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

        Yeah its nice man. Either way

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

        Impossible to know which is better tbh. Even Ragabolly is here and even he can't calculate / tell with certainty the correct answer imo.

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

    Burnley at home is the best defence in Europe

    1. Threat Level Midnight
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah and you provide great takes on here.

      Hard pass

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

    Glad I didn't sell Ings for Kane.Burnley away was always going to be a difficult fixture for kane..

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

      Are you doing it next GW?

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

        no,I think Jimmy, Ings and DCL is a good enough front three...

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

      +1, only Jimmy.

    3. Mortal.Swinbat
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I did Ings > Kane this week, thought it might sting me this week (and look like it is going to) but I don’t mind, I wanted the switch long term

  17. Gobigorgohome
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Son and Kane to Zaha Bamford free up a lot of cash and can get

    Bruno KDB Salah Mane

    as midfielders

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

      sell,10.8 m for a DM is too much...

  18. fr3d
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Burnley provide no service for their Australian strikers

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

      Burnley has strikers?

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

    Che Adams and Vardy nailed to start up top for the next Nations League match?

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

    Imagine owning any players - just lol

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

      Bamford and Zaha owners commenting in 3, 2, ..

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

        If you own Bamford and Zaha then enjoy your day in the sun.... even a blind squirrel finds nuts some of the time

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

          I'm pretty sure blind squirrels end up dying quite quickly and probably without finding any nuts.

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

            That’s sort of part of the metaphor in this scenario from an FPL perspective

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

          Now I'm thinking about blind squirrels , and I'm sad.
          Thanks.

    2. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I just broke 20 points, get in.

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

        Oh mate... I’m currently on 20 points with Kane and
        Son playing. I feel your pain

        It’s unbelievable - my team was perfect for this week, many on here would have said it was optimal

        1. The Ejiptian King
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          I'm on 21 with the same, yep lol, my team looked so good until the actual games. Pulisic is my highest scorer with 3.

    3. The Ejiptian King
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I assume Maupay is now your all time favourite FPL player after these last couple plus last season.

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

        In an alternate universe he has got back to back braces and Lamptey back to back double digit hauls

        Him, DCL and now Bamford are my all time worst

        1. The Ejiptian King
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Did you play Champions League fantasy?

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

            No - just one type of fantasy football pain is enough for me
            This season

            1. The Ejiptian King
              • 5 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              Same normally but I tried it for the first time, actually had a good start lol, I'm sure it'll revert back to the usual this week.

  21. Hybrid.power
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    It's a cruel joke when you transfer out Reece James who didn't start the last two games. He plays, keeps a clean sheet, bonus points, and your replacement is benched.

    1. Threat Level Midnight
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      LOL this is tough

    2. Rocky FPL
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Dont you have Justin coming on?

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

      And your replacement getting the first CS of the season his club has.

    4. beric
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Must be a few in the same boat. Hard luck, couldnt have seen it coming

  22. GE
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Maupay -> Who?
    (0.0 itb)

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

      Bamford

    2. Over The Mounié
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Mitrovic

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

      Antonio if he is fit, else Bamford.

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

      Toss a coin.
      Get out the ouija board.
      Read some tarot cards.
      Ask a pensioner.

      At this point it seems like that's the right way to go about things.

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

    Imagine Bamford scoring at hattrick... Oh Wait

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

    Don’t regret Mitrovic -> Kane for a hit even if he blanks. Would be priced out of the moves I made if I didn’t do it. Taking a hit in a low scoring week is extra painful though. 26(-4) atm

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

    Hopefully Jose makes some half time subs

  26. Bubz
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Ah a noce Kane(c) and Son blank to top this week off, why not eh

    1. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      nice*

  27. 4-6-0
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Burnley are just packing the box. Get fellaini on.

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

      Bale could be useful here.

      Can play in tight areas and dangerous from range.

      1. 4-6-0
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Good shout. Could easily ping one.

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

    I reckon Mourinho wanted someone to see what he was writing. Such a showman.

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

      "Respect man, respect"

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

    Chilwell my highest scoring player this week.

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

      Show off

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

      I benched Chilwell.

      I have 22 points

    3. Old Bull
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I’ve got two who scored 6pts! The rest ranged between -2 and 2

  30. 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

    Would you do Jimi and Pod to Zaha and Bamford?

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

      I would.

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

      shocking moves lol.

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

        are they?
