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.

          makes sense

          no wonder the assist was back Joe must have told him to pull up the replay

  3. The Mighty Hippo

    Kane was too far forward for it to count as a proper assist.

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

    Imagine thinking that Kane header was an assist 🙂

    1. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
      • 6 Years

      You are so dumb

    The way this game played out proves that Salah was the better captain on paper.

    But hey, all it takes is a lucky bounce sometimes in FPL.

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

      3 points in it, nothing

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

      Don’t be that guy. They were both on a par.

      I decided to go with Kane as I thought Liverpool would adapt to protect the VVD loss. But end of the day, both are on pens, and either could haul.

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

        Fair play. Win the coin toss. It's 3 points I'm not gonna cry over it.

      I wouldn't bother with transfers, whatever you think is the right move isn't this season.
