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.

      Bring back internationals

    6. Dirty Harry

      How likely Reguilon to come on?

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

        ST coming on now then surely Bale, unlikely!

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

      Vinicius incoming.

      One of bale or son most likely.

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

        *kane or son

    8. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years

      Which was worse?

      United vs Chelsea or this match..

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

        United vs Chelsea, as both were playing not to lose.

    9. Pompel
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Not one attacking return this GW so far. Sold Jimi and Foden to get Kane. Digne topping it off with his -3pts....
      Why do we do this to ourselves?

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

      Looks like the league has regressed back to normal. Must have been a lack of pre-season.

      Well well well, as a Dier owner, it looks like Kane might save me rather than destroy me xD

      Harry Kane is some player. The way he headed that ball off the line. No other player could've done that quite like Harry Kane.

    26. LǝgleSs e|even
      • 8 Years

      Would Kane get BAPS for defending?
