International Football

The minutes played by FPL players over the November international break

The final international break of 2021 reached its conclusion in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

Over 200 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) assets were in action for their countries over the last week and there will be inevitable repercussions in Gameweek 12, given the impact on starting XIs immediately after the September and October international breaks.

Our Team News tab and our Friday press conference round-up (in both article and video form) will cover everything on the fitness front but it is fatigue we’re focusing more on in this article as we look at how many minutes each FPL asset clocked up while on international duty.

How much ‘tiredness’ will be a factor in Gameweek 12 is open to debate, as the triple-headers of earlier international breaks are now mostly a thing of the past and juggling two games in a week comes second nature to many Premier League players. With 10 Gameweeks now to come in the space of 40 days, however, any national team game-time going into this period may come into top-flight managers’ medium-term thinking when weighing up whether or not a player needs a breather.

As well as on-field exertions, long-haul flights back from further afield may be a consideration ahead of the weekend – although much less so than in October, when South American nations were in action on the Friday morning before Gameweek 8.

Indeed, Brazil and Argentina were instead facing off late on Tuesday evening this time, given the Premier League representatives in question additional days to make their way back to the UK and recuperate.

Raul Jimenez (£7.7m) was the last notable FPL name in action, representing Mexico in the early hours of Wednesday morning.

MOST MINUTES PLAYED OVER THE NOVEMBER INTERNATIONAL BREAK

A trio of academy products – Carney Chukwuemeka, Dane Scarlett and Aaron Ramsey – were the only ‘active’ FPL assets who logged more than three hours of pitch-time, thanks to England under-19s having three fixtures over the last week.

Onto more significant names and there were 42 players who lasted 180 minutes across their respective nations’ matches, including Shane Duffy, Cristiano Ronaldo, Jimenez, Ismaila Sarr, Aymeric Laporte and Andreas Christensen.

Son Heung-min, Kevin De Bruyne and Hwang Hee-chan were only a little further back on 178, 173 and 172 minutes respectively.

Happily, many of the most popular Fantasy picks had a relatively easy ride. Of the 15 highest-owned assets in FPL, only Duffy and Ronaldo started more than one game for their homeland in the November international window.

CLUB-BY-CLUB ROUND-UP

The team-by-team guide below breaks down the minutes that each player has played per international match over the last week or so, with a total given at the end.

The players listed exclude those who withdrew from their national team squads without kicking a ball but include those who played at least one match before picking up an injury or illness or dropped out for personal reasons. The latter group of players are marked with an asterisk.

As mentioned earlier, we’ll have further details on any lingering fitness concerns in our pre-Gameweek 12 team news round-up on Friday.

    A) Havertz to Son (keep Vardy for his good run after Chelsea)
    B) Vardy and Havertz to Kane and Foden -4

    if going to get rid of Vardy, now feels like the time (going to be difficult before his next games).

      A

    2. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years

      I like B more because you can Jota instead of Foden

      1. No Professionals
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah B has the option of Jota. Foden is such a difficult player to take a hit for because of the fear of rotation. Pep has a habit of making you think a player is nailed...

        1. lilmessipran
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Agreed..if I need to bring in one mid in that price range would prefer Jota over Foden right now

            • 13 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            CL midweek too so risk of rotation probably would put me off a hit for Foden. Considering him myself though

    Is this a benching headache or am I just overthinking this...bench one-

    A livra
    B Jimi
    C Raph

    1. Pinturicchio10
        2 years, 4 months ago

        a

    2. Atimis
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Which one would you chose for next few GWs?

      1. TAA, Gallagher, Hwang in 442, Mbeumo and Livra on bench
      2. TAA, Gallagher, Toney in 442, Mbeumo and Duffy on bench
      3. Reguilon, Jota, Gallagher in 451, Toney and Livra on bench
      4. Jota, BSilva, Toney in 352, Livra and Duffy on bench

      Should say that 1-3 would involve a hit while 4 would be for free.

      1. lilmessipran
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        As much as I would like to have Taa, option 3 could work out really well

        1. Atimis
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah, TAA would be great but trying to take it easy so also 4 is tempting with not hit and both Pool and City mids

          1. lilmessipran
            • 11 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            It is, but as good as Bilva has been I expect even him to get rotated with the fixture congestion..hence leaning towards C slightly

            1. Atimis
              • 7 Years
              2 years, 4 months ago

              I will be making the moves before GW13 so yet have GW12 to monitor the ones above

      Morning all. GTG or should I start ESR?

        G2G, but if you want to start ESR it would be for Christensen for me

        1. tbos83
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Thanks. I'm thinking he's most likely to be benched so ESR may well come in anyway

    4. Hansel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years

      A) Mbeumo -> Foden

      1. lilmessipran
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        I have them both ..I reckon Antonio will start..not so confident about Jimi ..tempted to start Livra over him.. waiting for presser to get more info

      2. Kane5
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Antonio has come back early so should be good to go

      Lots benching mbeumo and even Raph for livramento, what happened to always starting the attacker ?

      1. No Professionals
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Livramento happened.

          • 4 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Guaranteed he concede and get a YC this week with all his hype on here

          Raph or mbeumo will haul as well to put salt into our wounds

          1. No Professionals

            yeah maybe. that's FF.

        • 7 Years

        Livra plays Norwich, and i am at least tempted by that, and since my team is what it is i want to play him over sine og the others, actually my bench headache is jimi or Raph. Livra was always going to play. You play the one you think will get most points

      3. teneighty

      Play mbembo and toney or bench one for livra?

      Think the double up could be nice this week with so many losing faith (but they are losing faith for good reason tbf)

      1. golfboy
        • 6 Years

        Lost faith and ditched them. Livra and one of them for me

      How bad can Son(C) go?
      (In comparison to Salah(C))

      1. golfboy
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        I'm tempted but feels punty doesn't it. Salah the safe pick with the masses

        1. Shark Team
          • 6 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Don't you think that Arsenal looks good though? I mean I can see them probably conceding no more than 2 goals. Spurs have to win with a convincing performance I think this is why I'm gonna back Son cause I believe a lot in new manager bounce especially when it's Conte

          1. golfboy
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            That's a decent argument for it. Go with your gut!

      2. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        He could get a red card and Salah could get a hat-trick

      3. Ze_Austin
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Auba had an assist (and a goal? I don't remember that) ruled out and missed a penalty vs Watford

        Swinging the right way, that could have been 10+ points vs Salah's 5. He got -1

        Another recent example is Havertz (too soon?), who has then outscored Salah in the next two games after his disastrous blank as some people's differential cap

        The variance in this game is brutal. I'm happy to own the 14 other players around Salah C for now

        1. Miguel Sanchez
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Yup - it's a 10 player game right now without the wild swings of variance the captaincy provides

        2. Arteta
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Worst day of the season (so far) for me.

      4. Fabreghastly
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        People are writing off Arsenal's chances. Unbeaten in 10, is it?, very good defence. Can't see Salah having a monster day. But, Conte's Spurs are a work in progress. Perhaps not the best punt

      5. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Would rather see Son's form improve before captaining him over Salah. I have him VC though, just ahead of Wilson.

      2FT, considering a hit for a third

      2 decided; Gray and Grealish to Jota and Gallagher

      A) Dias to James
      B) Dias to Chilwell
      C) Keep Dias

      Already have Rudiger and 0.1 short of Dias to Cancelo

      1. golfboy
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        Wouldn't take a hit for a defender.

        1. Van der Faart
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Usually I wouldn't either.

          1. golfboy
            • 6 Years

            If Chelsea were playing someone else I might but can see Leicester scoring

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Did Fantasy Football back in the 90s have captaincy? Remember when you had to post off any transfers you wished to make. I played The Times newspaper fantasy and think you only got 20 transfers each season and each one would cost you a postage stamp (about 25p back then).

      1. Miguel Sanchez
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        I mean, it can't have done unless you set it at the start of the season as changes weren't particularly active then.

      2. Camzy

      Start one:

      Captain:

      2: Foden

      1. Philosopher's Stones
        • 3 Years

        *no Salah cause I don't like to captain a guy playing against Arsenal is all

        1. Philosopher's Stones
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 4 months ago

          Might even bench him. Or not 😛

          1. GreennRed
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 4 months ago

            I picked the one without Toney!

            1. premierleaguesgreatestevert…
              • 4 Years
              2 years, 4 months ago

              Ha fair enough. I like A the most, feel Son and Wilson can more than make up the -4 plus I get to get one of the defenders mentioned which I am somehow without any of them right now

    24. fusen
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 4 months ago

      Those price rises were very annoying as none of the players involved (Son, Wilson) that people wanted to buy actually have a manager press conference today.

      So almost no point in not buying them last night, doh!

      1. GreennRed
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        No teams have press conferences today.

          1. GreennRed
            • 12 Years

            Jesus. Apologies Fusen. Why are they so early?

            1. Camzy
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 13 Years

              There are always pressers on Thursdays nowadays. Most of them are Friday though.

              1. GreennRed
                • 12 Years
                2 years, 4 months ago

                Cheers Camzy. Will keep an eye for them.

      2. Arteta
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 4 months ago

        I was just thinking that. Already "lost" 0.1 and Son's price will probably rise tonight as well.

      Stupid Members Area Question. Does chances conceded from right flank mean the defending team's right back, ie lots of chances conceded here would benefit a left-side attacker facing that team? Or is it the other way round? Cheers!

        Chances conceded is from defensive team's perspective.
