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.

    Own both Son and Kane and my red arrow got bigger with that goal

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

      Probably because of not captaining either one

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

      Don’t worry about rank for now, the points will benefit in the long run 🙂

    3. Niho992
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      wait for another goal

    4. Rains of Castamere
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Plenty own Doherty, Lloris too

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

        Didn’t think of that

    Those who captained Salah over Kane this week... *clown emoji* x100 *

    1. JONALDINHO

      People who aren’t even in the top million... * clown emoji* x100 *

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

        Mate, you're barely scraping the top million and after your result this week I doubt you're staying there any longer lmao

    2. Bushwhacker

      3 years, 5 months ago

      You mean made the logical home captain choice?

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

      It's not a huge difference, 2pts v 5pts is hardly a captain fail.

  3. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    70% of the top 10k own Son and Kane
    Majority captained Kane
    Top 10k extend their lead over the casuals!

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

      Pretty sure the top 10k are as casual as the bottom 7m.

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

      The top 10k are the casuals.

    Kane G Son A next pleaseeed

  5. Niho992
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    People here told me thats crazy to C Son ahead of Salah this GW

    1. Hect.OR 98th
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Make your own decisions. I made the wrong choice, I own it. So should you.

      1. Niho992
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Just said it. ''Crazy'' is bit harsh. Still thinking that was 50-50 call

    2. Make United Great Again
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Don’t listen next time

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

      It was...

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

      No one knows what will happen in these football matches.

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

      Do you really think Burnley away is an easier fixture than Sheffield United at home? Especially when we're talking about Salah and Liverpool?

      Salah was 100% the logical choice. Unfortunately that's not how this game or, in fact, life works.

      You can be logical 100% of the time but that doesn't mean things will always go your way. Hindsight is a wonderful thing but it often comes too late...

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

        Hindsight comes to late?

  6. fr3d

    One more time (K)ane please

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

    Kane’s going to break Henry’s record at this rate

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

    Wood goal pls

    Decided to hold Jimi for this week rather than bring Kane in for this match. Think it was the right call regardless of what happens tonight.

    Main point of frustration now, is that he'll more than likely rise again before the Antwerp game. By holding off because he's got another game to come I'm probably going to lose 0.2m if not 0.3m.

    That's priced me out of being able to bring in Zaha at the same time. It's one thing having these ridiculous GWs but the price changes are so volatile this season. At least it certainly feels like there's much more movement even with a busier fixture schedule.

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

      I think you just have to get Kane in before the EL game i think. Im in same boat and I think Vinicius hopefully will start that game

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

      That was precisely why I got Kane in - the inevitable price rises IF he did well again. Otherwise I'd have gladly stuck with Jimenez this week

  10. Je suis le chat
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Son on for averaging nearly 18 points per game in his 3 away fixtures, emmm.

  11. Make United Great Again
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Son(C) next week locked in.

  12. Twisted Saltergater
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Hamez on

  13. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Surely most on here have Son & Kane ?

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

    Reguilón to stay on the bench now??? H2H depends on it... lol

  15. HollywoodXI

    Why has Kanes assist been removed on FPL?

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

      It hasn’t.

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

        It really has

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

        It’s gone...

      3. @persecuted_by_mods
          3 years, 5 months ago

          It has. But probably a mistake or error

        • Hotdogs for Tea
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          it has

      4. Twisted Saltergater
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I hope it’s a bug!

      5. Sim Simma
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I know. I need those points to get 35 points from 11 players

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

        not sure - was a clear assist

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

        If that is not a Kane assist the FPL game is broken.

      8. Scots Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Uh oh. Controversy

      9. Bushwhacker
        • 4 Years

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

      Time wasting YC please, Hugo.

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

      Cue Kane owners going mental now his assist has been taken off him.

      Feels good just owning Son...
