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.

    Where`s Kane`s assist gone...??

    1. Rupert The Horse

      Doesn’t matter

    We all know it’s a Kane assist. Just relax.

      Don’t be so sure, still waiting for my Kane goal at Stoke

    2. gunthourinho
      • 7 Years

      Nope it isn't. Read the rules.

      1. Salarrivederci

        3 years, 5 months ago

        Read the rules what?

        It's simple. Like when a player takes a corner trying to cross the ball to anyone jumping high enough - Kane is heading it further into the box trying to find anyone jumping high enough?

      2. Rupert The Horse
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Why wouldn’t it be an assist. He headed the ball to Son. That’s an assist. Even being registered as an assist by the commentators and the on screen stats.

    Lukaku got Kane's assist boys

      Classic

        That's one for the golden oldies on here

          • 11 Years

          I’m not old. It’s only my 14th season. Ah damn it.

    Great job from FPL towers to remove assist. It wasnt intentional anyway.

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

      Exactly. It was not an assist.

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

      That was not a head on target - so ofcause it was intentional to pass it through to whoever ran into it.
      One of the more clear assist.

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

    According to the rules, that's not a Kane assist

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

      Spot on

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years

      😆

    3. IRBOX ⚽
      • 7 Years

      How so?

    4. Forza Papac
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      Please explain

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

      You're joking right? 😀
      That kind of assist are given every GW

    6. SEXY SOLO SAUCE
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Why? Because it’s a header?

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

      How're the fish this time of year?

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

      Couldn't believe they gave it in the first place. At least normal service has been resumed.

    9. mg12
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Scanning the rules, but didn't see an explination why Kane's header isn't registered as an assist. Anyone understand why no assist on Son's goal?

    10. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Mmmmm. Tasty bait.

    Ooooh. Attacking points. What a novelty...

  7. jonnybhoy

    3 years, 5 months ago

    TAA, Podence + Jiminez to Targett, Zaha and Kane for -4pts? 

    Yeah or nah?

  8. fr3d

    Is Ziyech just a glorified Dwight McNeil?

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Unsure on Ziyech. Guy is not an up and coming youngster and is unproven in a major league.

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

    Lamela not getting punished for that?

  10. Kellz86
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Mourinho Masterclass this

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

      Son masterclass

  11. Boomerang V
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    I own both Son and Kane but captained Salah, so this Kane assist removal actually made the red arrow a little smaller.

    Distance to 10k average went from 39 vs 49 to 36 vs 44.

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

    Lamela is a liability

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

      Why is VAR not looking at this?!?!?

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

        I think they’ve had a power cut tonight

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

    SEND HIM OFF

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

    lol I hope that wasn't Kanes assist

    1. Bielsa's Blue Bucket
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Classy

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

        these only one class act around here - BAMFORD

  15. Z
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Lads, how many pts did you colect?

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

      57 if Regui does not come on.

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

      49 all out

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

    Kane assist ruled not as assist by Livarpool's VAR referee

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

      The one that gave a non-penalty and disallowed a perfectly good winner at Everton? That VAR?

      1. Dreaming of glory
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Was a pen.
        As for mane goal certainly strange but must have been mms off on var.

        Only solution is to make the lines thicker to allow a margin of error

  17. Tomerick
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    I want my assist points back post haste.

    1. Seanigula
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Nope, was just ruled no assist

  18. The Reptile
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Why has Kane assist been chalked off?
    He headed it sraight to Son

  19. valurth
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Anyone saw the Brighton goal (Own goal) today, was it a Lamptey assist that is missing?

  20. 7shadesofsmoke
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Bale play tonight?

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

    They gave Kane the assist but didn’t update his bps, so are sorting it out.

  22. Dreaming of glory
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Whats the assist rule? Why was that taken away?

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

    Kane and Son owner and the goal was just barely a green at rank 1m...

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

    39 points all out after Son bonus. I’ll take that

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

      that's pretty bad

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

    A clear assist for Kane, can't see why it's not given.

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

      Being fixed for BPS apparently . . and guilt over Dier's foul.

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

    Son off

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

      red card?

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

    VAR removed Kane assist. New rules apparently

  28. g40steve
    • 6 Years

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

    Assist given on the Twitter
