Are Your FPL Stars About to Get a Rest? Don’t Panic Just Yet!

Find out which Fantasy Premier League stars might be benched after a tiring international break!

If you’re deep into the Fantasy Premier League season, you’re probably on high alert right now. The recent international break has left managers scratching their heads and keeping their eyes peeled on player fitness and availability. With some players returning from international duties, there’s a looming question: could your FPL stars be set for a rest? Managers worldwide are holding their breath, especially when it comes to key players who have recently traveled and played for their national teams.

Among the top players who have raised eyebrows due to their international exploits are Arsenal’s own Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz. Saka, who has been a revelation this season, comes in at a price point of £10.1 million. His energy and flair on the pitch are significant assets in any FPL squad, but as he returns to a rigorous club schedule, doubts are creeping in. Alongside him is Havertz at £8.3 million, another crucial component of the Arsenal attack. As fans and FPL managers alike hope for their return to form, the risk of rotation or a well-deserved rest hangs in the balance.

As Gameweek 8 approaches, FPL managers are frantically monitoring pre-match press conferences. Coaches often reveal which players might be carrying knocks or are deemed too fatigued for the weekend clash. This week is particularly important, as the combination of international travel and intense matches can lead to greater fatigue, especially for young players like Saka, who may find themselves sidelined as clubs look to manage their minutes.

So what can FPL enthusiasts do when faced with uncertain injuries or fatigue? First, it is vital to stay updated on the latest press conference news from Premier League managers. Social media platforms can provide real-time updates on injury statuses, which can make or break your week. Additionally, having a solid bench and second string players ready to step in can save your score from sinking like a galleon in stormy seas.

### Interesting Fact: Did you know that the highest-scoring FPL player of all time is currently Harry Kane, who racked up a stunning 328 points in the 2016/17 season? His consistency and ability to deliver goals made him a coveted pick!
