FPL Gameweek 6: Injuries & News Update
The rest, newest first.
Wilson (LEE, £6.2m, ~2 in 10 own him... no, about 1 in 50). Thigh injury. No return date. Logged 18 September. He will not play GW6. Sell or bench him — with no return date, sell.
Dedić (NEW, £4.5m) and Elanga (NEW, £6.1m) are both out with no return date. About 1 in 20 own Elanga. Both miss GW6. Move them on if you need the slot.
Foden (MCI, £6.9m). Suspended until 17 October. That rules him out of GW6 and beyond. Owned by about 1 in 50. Sell. There is no case for holding a player banned for a month. Doku, also City, carries a calf flag at 75% — but he was flagged back on 18 August and the tag has not moved. Owned by fewer than 1 in 100.
Mendy (HUL, £4.1m). Concussion. Expected back 11 October. Misses GW6. Bench him if you can; sell if he is your starting keeper.
Shaw (MUN, £4.3m). 50% chance of playing. Logged 11 September with no update since. About 1 in 12 own him. A coin flip is not a start. Bench.
Watkins (AVL, £7.8m). Sold to Al Hilal on 1 September. He is not coming back. If he is still in your squad, that is a dead slot. Sell now.
Kroupi Jr (BOU) is out until 7 November. Ekitiké (LIV) has an Achilles injury with no return date. Neither is widely owned. Neither plays GW6.
The calls. Sell Watkins, Wilson, Foden and Ekitiké — no return date or no return at all. Sell or bench Mendy, Dedić, Elanga and Kroupi Jr — out until October or later. Bench Shaw — 50% is a sit. Hold João Pedro and James — 75% from the club's own reporting is a start, and 7 in 10 managers holding João Pedro will do the same. Start them both.
