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:

Fixture Tracker – the next 6 games
[divider_1px]
What to do?? Current squad:
DDG Jaku
Stones Walker Souare Williams Amat
Hazard Townsend Redmond Barkley Fletcher
Kun Ibra Gray
2FT 0,7m itb
Thinking Kun and Redmond to Lukaku and Ozil (leaves 1,1m itb – think Townsends fixtures and new signings edges it to stay over Redmond)
Then next GW Barkley to Sterling for City coverage. Or can hold it for when Kun is back and see from there.
Everton have the fixtures on their side and Lukaku HAS to come right (I hope)
Costa is shown at 78.4% – he won’t be rising tonight… I hope!
Hey lads, quick one:
Costa + Barkley;
Costa + Antonio;
Costa + Lamela;
Lukaku + Lamela;
Lukaku + Antonio?
(I already have Hazard.)
Cheers!
What do you lads reckon?
Hey Sanchez, Costa and Barkley for me.
Yup, thinking the same too. Cheers, Init!
I somehow knew you would be. We always have a similar train on thought on fantasy choices!
Great minds…
Costa has form and is playing Swansea this is the perfect time to double up.
that’s true, but after it all goes wrong fixture wise..
Liverpool cant defend then its back to Aguero for Swansea. It works out perfect!
Why no love for walcott? If he stays on the wing, surely he will start.
because he’s an awful footballer who is lucky to still be at arsenal. he will be benched when Perez comes in.
Guys, Sanchez and Antonio or Ozil and Sterling??
Ozil and Sterling. Sterling swings it.
Okay cheers Inittowinit
