Fantasy Premier League – International Round-Up
[three_fourth padding=”0 20px 0 0″]
[/three_fourth]Hello you global fantasy managers out there, how happy and enthusiastic about national team footy are you all? A lot, I rather watch Andorra vs Latvia ahead of any EPL game any day of the week, I hear? Bored off, I hear? Absolutely annoyed by it really, I hear? Well, well, surely we all like to see our country battle against other nations but maybe they should only do it after our dear FPL season is over and not just after it began! F**! Just now that we got some momentum going, and by momentum I mean FA’s impressive streak of disciplinary action, they just had to bottle it all and hijack all our best assets making them travel around the world instead of letting them rest nice and easy in each one’s club camp!
Well, the fact is that there’s no way around it and if that’s that then we might as well know at least the extension of the damage they inflicted to our goods and that’s what this article is about: bring to us all some light about what have FPL players been doing these past two weeks, which in case of Wilshere has nothing international about it, except for the American whiskey he’s been drinking down on the south coast, home of his new club AFC Bournemouth.
On this article we aim to update you on how the most important FPL players fared (if at all) for their national countries enabling a better assessment of their condition ahead of GW4.
Of course we couldn’t cover all Premier League international players so we opted for a mixed criteria that combines belonging to the top 10 on Ownership (TSB%), Total points (Total Pts), Form or Price for each position. If a players meets more than one criteria he’ll only be mentioned one time and for the first met criteria on that order. “NA” means either that the player wasn’t called by his home country (Barkley, for instance) or that his country only played one game in this international break (England, for example). “0m”, on the other hand, means that a player indeed travelled with the team, but did not feature (only three players had 0m in both games and they are all keepers – namely Adrián, Stekelenburg and Mignolet).
We also highlighted other player’s performances that we thought were worth a mention albeit not meeting the criteria such as Mandanda, Silva, Eriksen, Snodgrass and Tadic. That should cover most of many a managers concern over their team. If not, however, please use the commentary box if you are looking for any specific player info. We won’t go all the way to new boys Kosovo for that, but we’ll give it our best.
Finally, there’s a Highlight table in the end that, regarding popular FPL players, enhances the best performers and the biggest underachievers.
Bear in mind that for injuries and player’s general availability info you need to check back on Friday for Cookie’s invaluable Around the Grounds article as any update we could give you on that wouldn’t be accurate.
Here follows how your internationalbreaked players fared:

Chaps,
Is this my best starting 11?
Captain thought ?
Thanks
looks good to me beno
I’ve got the armband on Haz, just not feeling confident…
Interesting stats and a lot of work DMC. Much appreciated.
Cheers Dreamers. I’m a sucker for international games (well any footy games actually) so I normally follow a few, which is how this article started last year. Hopefully I can cope with it for an entire season!
Who will be westham forward against watford?
Will be zaza directly?
They dont really have anyone else, except Calleri & he hasnt exactly sprkled.
Zaza is tho is also completely unproven at this level.
But just like Antonio,lanzini, & Payet before Bilic got them in.
Risky punt.
Yeah Zaza will definately start
Zaza is not a proper striker. So, unless Bilic does a guardiola-with-no-forward on us, I can’t see this happening.
He’ll probably stack youngster Fletcher or Calleri in there with zaza somewhere in a support role. He’s not a number 9.
Of course Tiger’s assement ere is much more accurate.
Hey guys. How’s everyone doing?
I’ve already done two transfers for -4, but I’m tempted to get Costa or someone else for Kun. Any advice?
Hennessy
Stones Bailly McCauley
Cazorla Hazard Bolasie Firmino Fletcher
Ibra Gray
Subs Jaku kun Amat Kingsley.
Thanks guys.
man u – prob Costa or Lukaku. Dont normally advice a -8, but i probably would. Its too much to stay on the bench
Thanks Dreamers. Lukaku could be a good shout, even though he let me down big time towards the end of last season.
I do also remember a real purple patch for Lukaku last season as well
man um man, no idea who you got in for that -4 (and who you got out) but you may have to bite the bullet here mate and stay put. Especially if you plan to bring kun back for gw 6 for that would probably mean more hits and that simply won’t pay back, unless someone really bangs it and you are lucky enough to choose him.
That being said, get Luk in and bench Fletcher mate!
Im thinking of transfering Aguero out and in his place, Im putting in Lukaku…
He has 4 good fixtures:
Sunderland
Middlesbrough
Bournemouth
Crystal Palace
Potential to score big in those fixtures
Or blank………. 😉
If you have any Everton midfield then no.
I dont
And you’d leave Kun out when he returns or fund from elsewhere?
Il bring him back
Very interesting. Thank you very much
viktorsjolin – glad you think so mate. It’s all about the numbers and how to “read” them.
