International Football

Which FPL players are on international duty and who will miss Gameweek 4?

The first international break of the season got underway today, with not far off 200 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) players in action for their countries over the next week.

Some national sides are cramming in a triple-header of games over this period and a handful of Fantasy assets will be taking part in all three of their nations’ respective matches.

Others won’t be featuring at all, with the Premier League clubs digging their heels in and (mostly) refusing to release players for national team duty if they are representing, or playing a match in, a country on the UK government’s red list.

The likes of Mohamed Salah (£12.5m), Raphinha (£6.5m), Gabriel Jesus (£8.5m) and Richarlison (£7.6m) look set to have the fortnight off and – as it stands – be available for Gameweek 4, then, although the threat of five-day sanctions beyond the international window for Brazil players still hangs in the air at present.

Who Will Miss Out in Gameweek 4?

Toney off the mark as injuries and Covid impact Villa 3

Anyone travelling to a red-list country faces quarantine for 10 full days in a managed hotel on their return to the UK, and Premier League players are no exception.

As far as we’re aware, there are only five such FPL assets who fall into this category in the September international break.

Emiliano Martinez (£5.5m), Emiliano Buendia (£6.4m), Davinson Sanchez (£4.5m), Giovani Lo Celso (£5.9m) and Cristian Romero (£4.9m) have been given permission by their clubs to head to South America and all of them will miss Gameweek 4 as a result.

The quintet are available for their countries’ first two World Cup qualifying matches but will not take part in the third international match – meaning that their quarantine periods will have ended by the time Gameweek 5 comes around.

OTHER PLAYERS WHOSE COUNTRIES FACE RED-LIST NATIONS

Who are the best FPL captain options for Gameweek 3?

You may notice some players in the club-by-club list below whose names we originally listed as being at risk of missing Gameweek 4 if they went away on international duty.

There is a compromise of sorts for these FPL assets: they are being allowed to represent their countries but in only the fixtures not staged in a red-list nation.

For example, Michail Antonio (£7.9m) is being allowed to turn out for Jamaica in their CONCACAF World Cup qualifier at home to Panama on Sunday.

But Antonio will miss the Reggae Boyz’ other two games, away at Mexico and Costa Rica, as both of those countries are on the UK’s red list for international travel.

As a result, and barring injury or illness, he’ll be allowed to play in Gameweek 4 for West Ham.

    If firmino is out…DCL or Jota!?

    1. Man Chest Hair United
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Jota if he’s out for a while

      1. Jink
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Penalties is really swaying me towards DCL!

        1. Man Chest Hair United
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          True but carrying a few niggles too. Playing upfront for Liverpool hard to ignore

    2. cravencottage
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      DCL is probably a keeper, while Jota will be a transfer at some point

      1. Jink
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I agree. Also having DCL would mean I play 3-4-3 which I feel a lot more comfortable doing.

        1. FPL_Crisis
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          There’s a lot more cheap playing mids than there are forwards so agree 343 433 sometimes is the way to go for now

          1. Jink
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            I agree about the mids. But it means I can have Gilmour as a sub rather than Perica! Also allows a front 3 of DCL Antonio and Ronaldo.

            1. FPL_Crisis
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              That was my point. Having a 5th playing mid who can come on for the occasional 2/3 pointer is better than a no show from 3rd striker for similar price

              1. Jink
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 10 Years
                2 years, 6 months ago

                Gotcha! My bad, I’m currently playing 3-5-2 with no subs.

                1. FPL_Crisis
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 13 Years
                  2 years, 6 months ago

                  Yep same and losing value on non playing guys

    3. Alisson WondHaaland
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Is this on WC? If so Id strongly consider having both

      1. Jink
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        No not a wildcard. Just my route to Ronaldo. It’s either Jota in or DCL.

        1. Puntillimon
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Jota very tempting

  2. cravencottage
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Please pick one of each:
    1) Greenwood
    2) Jota

    A) Dias
    B) Cancelo
    C) Azpi
    D) Rudiger

    1. Man Chest Hair United
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      2
      A

      Pending Jota news

      1. Man Chest Hair United
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Sorry Firmino news

    2. Alisson WondHaaland
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      2D

  3. Man Chest Hair United
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Can’t get to Ronaldo easily

    Would you do
    Bruno and perica out
    Lukaku and Gilmore in?

  4. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Not sure if it interests anyone here but Sky are offering 100/1 on Ronaldo scoring 10 headers this season in the PL. Certainly after him once again tonight showing his astounding aerial ability I'd imagine a few others will think it's well worth a punt.

    1. Man Chest Hair United
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Highly unlikely to get 10 but worth a 5

    2. Noisy Neighbour
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      There’s a sucker born every minute.

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Not worth a quid, no?

    3. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      If he played Arsenal 5 times.....

    4. bunk_medal
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Apparently the Premier League record for headed goals is 9 in a season (Duncan Ferguson - who also liked heading other players' heads for fun).

    5. RogDog_jimmy
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Listening to Blackbox now…Man U were 17th and 16th (or there about) for volume and quality of crosses last season.

      Shaw….Bruno…maybe Pogba if he plays out wide?
      No one else does or can cross on that team.

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        That probably makes sense, I can't say for sure but I'd imagine they must have put in a few extra when Cavani was playing, if it was Rashford, Greenwood or Martial up top I guess you wouldn't be too inclined to put in high crosses much. Still worth a quid or two anyway but I swear some people here think when you say something like this they think you're planning on putting your lifesavings on it!

        1. RogDog_jimmy
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          My gambling days are past but I’m not one to judge. I won enough money for my first car on a horse race back in ‘01.

      2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        AWB used to put in great crosses for Martial

        Himself & Shaw got 10 assists between them last season (5 each)

        I’d say that goes to 15+ this season, Sancho also will provide good supply, as will Bruno

  5. Little Frank
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    On a WC, undecided over;

    A. Greenwood or
    B. Torres

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A

    2. Podge
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Both ideally but B if only 1

    3. Ibralicious
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      B because he’s looking good at ST and Greenwood/Cavani might compete to be on the pitch with CR7, Bruno and co

    4. Alisson WondHaaland
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      On a WC Id probably go B, will (hopefully) be a good long term pick while Greenwood is probably a transfer out in a few weeks (if not due to minutes then due to fixtures)

  6. Ibralicious
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Pick a move:

    Sanchez
    TAA - Shaw - Amartey*
    Salah - Bruno - Raphinha - Benrahma
    DCL - Ings - Antonio

    (Foster - Tsimikas* - Brownhil - Omobamidele*) - 1.4 ITB - 1 FT

    A) Ings + Bruno -> Ronaldo + Torres (-4)
    B) Ings + Bruno + Tsimikas -> Ronaldo + Jota + Reguilón (-8)
    C) Wildcard To bring in Ronaldo & Lukaku and fix defensive issue

    Cheers!

    Would you WC this, want to get Ronaldo in, and Veltman is a problem if he’s lost his spot?

    Sanchez
    TAA Shaw Veltman
    Salah Fernandes Greenwood Benrahma
    Antonio Ings Toney

    Steele Ayling Tsimikas Brownhill

    2 FT, 0.9 itb

    Thanks!

    1. Futureform
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      No way.

      2 FT gives you Bruno > Ronaldo + another and even without veltman you have 3 playing defenders, so you can sort him later.

      1. FCSB
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah just didn’t know whether I should be turning to improve Veltman and also bring in Jota say

        I think you’re right tho, just use 2FT

      2. Futureform
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah your team looks great and that WC will be handy later!

  9. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Does Torres stil fit into City's plans when KDB & Foden are back in the mix?

    1. Futureform
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      This worries me too for considering Torres!

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah it's a tricky one

  10. Futureform
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Bruno replacement - help needed!

    A) Jota
    B) Benrahma
    C) Gray
    D) Torres

    Thank you.

    1. klopptimusprime
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Jota, by some margin

    2. Futureform
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Thanks. Was leaning this way.

      Any thoughts on how long Firminho might be out?

      1. klopptimusprime
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Getting some mixed reports, feel it would be at least a month

        1. Futureform
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Thanks - that's really helpful. That's a decent run for Jota, and he's usually involved when not starting too.

        2. FPL_Crisis
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Source?
          James Pearce / Paul Joyce usually on top of this for Pool

  11. JJeyy
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Best option?

    A) Toney and Bruno to Ronaldo and Raphinha (-4)
    B) Save ft and captain Salah

    1. klopptimusprime
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Same problem, probably going to save FT

    2. DycheDycheBaby
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      B for me as I wouldn't do that for -4.

      1. DycheDycheBaby
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I can see Toney getting a goal against Brighton and Bruno returning. Raph has a tough game against Liverpool.

        1. JJeyy
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Could go Torres but prefer Raph long term

          1. DycheDycheBaby
            • 8 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Then I would probably just make the moves for GW5. Do it after GW4 deadline to catch Ronaldo's price rise.

    3. ilikewud
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Vardy and C

  12. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Any idea of how long it will be before KDB is available for selection?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Not entirely sure, but i can seriously see my team going without KDB this season, jsut doesn't seem the same player since his hot times

  13. DycheDycheBaby
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Do Barnes to Torres now just for GW4?

  14. Bounce
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Reminder that Cristiano Ronaldo broke the all-time MEN'S* international goal-scoring record (111). The actual all-time record in football is held by Canada's Christine Sinclair (187).

    1. klopptimusprime
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Valid point, but I don't think anyone thought he broke the women's record to be fair

    2. JUNITED
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      He hasn’t break my record scoring 567 goals in my backyard.

  15. Futureform
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Any chance Bruno keeps pens when Ronaldo hits the pitch for Utd?

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      i highly dount it, i for one can't picture Ronaldo just standing there whilst a pen is being taken by Bruno.

      1. Futureform
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah, doesn't seem right. Would.be hilarious and painful if it happens though!

        1. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Sure would! It would be SCENES! haha

          1. Futureform
            • 3 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Definitely. If it happens, I'll be straight here to read the comments!!!

    2. Alisson WondHaaland
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      It would be such classic FPL if during GW 4 - 7 Bruno outscores Ronaldo and Lukaku while Ings outscores DCL.

      1. Alisson WondHaaland
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Sorry reply fail

        1. Futureform
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Ha, your comment seemed fine to me!

        2. Andy_Social
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Ronaldo just missed one while Bruno was on the pitch! And is Ron going to play a full 96 mins in all three of his internationals this week???

          1. Futureform
            • 3 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Do you think he might not play v Newcastle then?

            1. Andy_Social
              • 11 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              Oh wait - his yellow card means he's suspended for the Azerbaijan game i think. Should be good to go v toon, i reckon.

              1. Futureform
                • 3 Years
                2 years, 6 months ago

                Great info - thanks! Yep, that settles it in my mind. He's got to play!

  16. Salah’s Sonnet
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Hmmm, how's this for a draft?

    Sanchez
    Dias - TAA - Shaw
    Benrahma - Salah - Torres - Gray
    DCL - Ronaldo - Antonio
    ____________________________
    Steele: Allan: Livramento: Amartey

    Leaves 0.6 ITB, Torres could be Raphinha, or could drop DCL and upgrade Allan in a 352 perhaps, bit i like the thought of returning to a 343.

    Cheers guys.

    1. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Torres/Raphinha could also be Jota.

    2. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      What’s your Leeds plan after pool game?
      Assuming wc7 without any Chelsea?

      1. Salah’s Sonnet
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Pretty much maybe Benrahma to Raphinha, and Shaw could become a Chelsea defender. Lukaku could be an issue but would depend on how well Ronnie is performing.

        Noo not WC GW7, this is for a potential WC now for GW 4.

  17. FPL Theorist
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    If we really think that Man U will put five or six past Newcastle, isn't it worth considering bringing in Ronaldo while also keeping Bruno at least for one more week?

    Having Ronaldo(C), Bruno, and Shaw is tempting. I can do Son + Wilson -> Gray + Ronaldo for 2 FT.

    1. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I'd love to have both but no possible way I can, well, unless I drop Salah that is.

  18. Ibralicious
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Who to bring in between these two?

    A) Grealish
    B) Torres

    Cheers!

    1. Futureform
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      B) Torres

      I just feel Grealish is not direct enough so less likely to get double digit scores. As ever though, Pep might rotate Torres (or anyone really) to death!

  19. Nightf0x
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Which?

    A) tsi ings toney -4 to dcl rudiger/alonso denis
    B) tsi ings barnes -4 to dcl rudiger/alonso sarr/raphinha/traore
    C) ings bruno barnes -4 to ronaldo jota raphnha/sar/traore, bench tsi start toney
    D) ings bruno tsi -4 to ronaldo jota/traore/sar/raphinha christensen

    1. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      C

  20. Nightf0x
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Sarr or traore

    1. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Sarr is their main man and fixtures good. Traore doesn’t convert

    2. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Sarr

    3. Futureform
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Wouldn't go near traore until he starts doing something FPL-wise.

  21. Miami Monkey
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Bottomed

    Sanchez (Foster)
    TAA Shaw White (Livramento Amartey)
    Salah Bruno Greenwood Benrahma (Brownhill)
    DCL Antonio Toney

    1.4m ITB, 1 FT. Feel like things are in decent shape. Can obviously do Toney/Bruno to Ronaldo/Torres for a it. But am I crazy to feel like it's a better idea to hold? Gives us time to see if DCL is fit, Toney has a good fixture, Ronaldo may not start, can see how long Firmino may be out in case I decide on Jota instead of Torres, etc.

    1. Futureform
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      It's not crazy as you can react in the game after. However, I'd be tempted to get Ronaldo in as getting him feels inevitable and you don't want to miss out in case he hauls immediately.

  22. DycheDycheBaby
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Barnes to Torres done.

    1. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Tempted now myself but hate doing it this early and price movements often f’ed up

      1. DycheDycheBaby
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah but even without that, Barnes is completely done for me and I don't see any other transfer to do before the imminent wildcard.

        1. FPL_Crisis
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          It’s Torres or Sarr for me for at least the next 3.
          Torres more fixture proof but rotation threat always there

  23. steven8991
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    2FT

    A. Ings to DCL, save 1FT
    B. Tsimikas & Benrahma > 4.0 & Jota

    1. BERGKOP
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A

  24. Futureform
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Price changes?

    Are they happening at the moment? When I looked on fplstatistics last night it seemed Bruno would drop but he hasn't.

    He's 102.8 on there tonight again.

    Will he drop tonight?

    1. FPL Theorist
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      At half past the hour

      1. Futureform
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Thanks. Think I'll risk the international break unknowns and try to get the Ronaldo move in now to save a little cash!

  25. C-Dawgg
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Not much love for Son on the site these days. Been Mr consistent for years, good fixtures, Kane back to play him in all game. Overlooked?

    1. Futureform
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      His price point is the issue probably. Lot of people going Salah plus lots of 6m and 7m midfielders to allow for Ronaldo/Kane/Lukaku.

    2. Andy_Social
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I felt guilty getting his captain points last weekend. But all those 1-0s don't entice me to keep him.

      1. FPL Theorist
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Right, he was in my team GW1 on the assumption that Kane would leave and Son would be the main man, on pens and playing OOP as striker. Since that hasn't happened, I'll be getting rid soon.

        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I didn't feel guilty one iota, especially when I had Antonio as vice 😆

        Upcoming fixtures don't look great, but he's the type to get something at anytime. He's also the type (and price point) to make way for Ronaldo too...

  26. dshv
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    1Bruno ings -> ronaldo grealish (-4)
    2. Ings -> Dcl
    3. Save ft and bring ronaldo for free

  27. Ógie
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years

    Anyone here going top heavy?

    Lukaku/Kane/Ronaldo

    1. Futureform
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Surely the rest of that team would be made up of 2 pointers!

    2. Salah’s Sonnet
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Absolutely not, and no need to either.

        Only matters I suppose if you're looking to bring him in 😆

        1. Cantonesque
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          I ditched him on a wild card to catch Torres before his price rise but always thought I might change my mind and bring him back. Expected a price drop but it's still a relief to see it happen. Now let him drop again and Torres rise again and it will have been tidy business.

      Mendy at Leicester is at 4.4.

        Nice enabler if needed i guess.

    2. Andy_Social

      2 years, 6 months ago

      No but the Omo lad looks like being the first 3.9.

    3. Ógie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Could take a while for one of them to drop.

      Best chance would probably be Gilmore if he continues to be offloaded but it would take a few gameweeks i reckon.
