Pre-Season

How many pre-season minutes each FPL option has played – Part 2

Fantasy Premier League managers can view the results of our pre-season research by reading another batch of minute counters.

That way you will find it easier to pick players for your squad who are the most likely to be involved for their respective clubs.

We’ve collated the game-time of every player over July and August and can bring you the numbers for the second five clubs in this part two.

If you don’t see a player’s name included it means they have played zero minutes. Furthermore, there are some players who have been involved enough in pre-season for us to draw attention to them, even if they haven’t been added to the game yet.

CHELSEA

Chelsea played five pre-season fixtures this summer. Four of them were friendlies while they were also involved in the Community Shield final last weekend. The maximum possible number of minutes that could have been accrued by one of their players was 450.

Goalkeepers

  • Marcin Bulka – 221 minutes
  • Willy Caballero (£5.0m) – 213 minutes
  • Rob Green – 16 minutes

The signing of Kepa Arrizabalaga (£5.5m) is expected to supersede anything we’ve learned about the secondary goalkeepers at Chelsea this summer. Caballero was preferred for the Community Shield and could be chosen for Gameweek 1 if Kept is not considered ready.

Defenders

  • David Luiz (£5.5m) – 289 minutes
  • Marcos Alonso (£6.5m) – 278 minutes
  • Ethan Ampadu (£4.5m) – 226 minutes [MIDFIELDER IN FPL]
  • Davide Zappacosta (£5.5m) – 219 minutes
  • Cesar Azpilicueta (£6.5m) – 214 minutes
  • Antonio Rudiger (£6.0m) – 195 minutes
  • Emerson Palmieri (£5.5m) – 172 minutes
  • Andreas Christensen (£5.5m) – 145 minutes
  • Gary Cahill (£5.5m) – 16 minutes

No Chelsea defender played more minutes than David Luiz over the summer, setting him up for a Gameweek 1 start. Alonso and Azpilicueta were used enough times in the summer for them to be assured of a place in the full-back positions, as they also played the full 90 at Wembley. In theory Ampadu has played enough in pre-season to warrant a start but Antonio Rudiger is the more senior and also played at Wembley.

Midfielders

  • Jorginho (£5.0m) – 334 minutes
  • Ross Barkley (£6.0m) – 320 minutes
  • Pedro (£6.5m) – 279 minutes
  • Callum Hudson-Odoi (£4.5m) – 271 minutes
  • Cesc Fabregas (£6.5m) – 240 minutes
  • Danny Drinkwater (£5.0m) – 179 minutes
  • Tiemoue Bakayoko (£5.0m) – 161 minutes
  • Victor Moses (£6.0m) – 132 minutes [DEFENDER IN FPL]
  • Willian (£7.5m) – 99 minutes
  • Ruben Loftus-Cheek (£5.5m) – 71 minutes
  • N’Golo Kante (£5.0m) – 31 minutes
  • Eden Hazard (£10.5m) – 22 minutes

It is no surprise to see Jorginho as the most-used Chelsea midfielder in pre-season. The former Napoli man arrives at Stamford Bridge clearly favoured by new manager Maurizio Sarri after they worked together in Italy. Barkley was not far behind him and is expected to play an important role in the central midfield trio. Pedro and Hudson-Odoi have the advantage on the wings in terms of minutes played, and they also started there for the Community Shield. How long-term that will prove with Moses, Willian and Hazard now back remains to be seen.

Forwards

  • Alvaro Morata (£9.0m) – 257 minutes
  • Tammy Abraham (£5.5m) – 171 minutes
  • Olivier Giroud (£8.0m) – 22 minutes

Despite failing to impress in pre-season, Morata looks to still be the number one for now, simply based on how often he was used. Giroud will start to put pressure on that fairly soon now that he is back in match action.

CRYSTAL PALACE

Crystal Palace played seven first-team friendlies over the summer. The maximum number of minutes that could have been played by one of their players was 630.

Goalkeepers

  • Vicente Guaita (£4.5m) – 360 minutes
  • Wayne Hennessey (£4.5m) – 225 minutes
  • Julian Speroni (£4.0m) – 45 minutes

New signing Guaita appears to have won out in the fight for the Crystal Palace number one spot. He played the full 90 minutes in the final two friendlies to take him past Hennessey’s game-time for pre-season.

Defenders

  • Mamadou Sakho (£5.0m) – 373 minutes
  • James Tomkins (£4.5m) – 373 minutes
  • Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£4.0m) – 366 minutes
  • Patrick van Aanholt (£5.5m) – 326 minutes
  • Joel Ward (£4.5m) – 290 minutes
  • Jairo Riedewald (£4.5m) – 283 minutes
  • Pape Souaré (£4.5m) – 268 minutes
  • Martin Kelly (£4.0m) – 167 minutes

Palace have one of the most settled back-fours of the Premier League going into Gameweek 1. It’s largely the same as it was towards the end of last season with Sakho and Tomkins the most-used at centre-back and van Aanholt and Wan-Bissaka the most frequently deployed full-backs over the summer.

Midfielders

  • James McArthur (£5.0m) – 354 minutes
  • Jeffrey Schlupp (£4.5m) – 352 minutes [DEFENDER IN FPL]
  • Sullay Kaikai (£4.5m) – 331 minutes
  • Andros Townsend (£6.0m) – 294 minutes
  • Jason Puncheon (£4.5m) – 279 minutes
  • Jonny Williams – 169 minutes
  • Luka Milivojevic (£6.5m) – 135 minutes

McArthur is probably the most secure of a start after being the most-used midfielder in pre-season. Schlupp could still feature on the left wing, as he has done extensively in pre-season, but his place is at risk from potential new signings up front.

Forwards

  • Alexander Sørloth (£5.0m) – 358 minutes
  • Wilfried Zaha (£7.0m) – 302 minutes
  • Christian Benteke (£6.5m) – 135 minutes
  • Conor Wickham (£5.0m) – 78 minutes

Sørloth has been the most-used forward of pre-season but that was largely due to Benteke’s injury. With the later now returning to fitness his lack of game-time may not be as much of a hindrance to a Gameweek 1 start. Some reinforcements are expected in this area too.

EVERTON

Everton played seven pre-season matches this summer. The maximum number of minutes that it was possible for one of their players to accrue was 630.

Goalkeepers

  • Maarten Stekelenburg (£4.0m) – 585 minutes
  • Mateusz Hewelt – 45 minutes

Stekelenburg is the obvious stand-in for Pickford if he is deemed not ready to face Wolves. The Dutchman has registered 585 pre-season minutes from a possible 585, missing only the second-half against ATV Irdning and playing every moment since. Pickford has not played for Everton at all in July and August.

Defenders

  • Michael Keane (£5.0m) – 405 minutes
  • Seamus Coleman (£5.5m) – 405 minutes
  • Phil Jagielka (£4.5m) – 390 minutes
  • Leighton Baines (£5.5m) – 360 minutes
  • Antonee Robinson – 225 minutes
  • Jonjoe Kenny (£4.5m) – 225 minutes
  • Ashley Williams (£4.5m) – 219 minutes [ON LOAN AT STOKE]
  • Matthew Pennington – 180 minutes
  • Mason Holgate (£4.5m) – 66 minutes [INJURED]
  • Lucas Digne (£5.0m) – 45 minutes
  • Cuco Martina (£4.5m) – 39 minutes

Keane and Jagielka’s extensive pre-season minute counts look set to see them start Gameweek 1 at centre-back, barring any last-minute additions. Coleman should have the right-back slot nailed down while Baines’ large number of minutes may give him a few weeks at left-back before new singing Digne takes over. Outside of those names, very few options look viable based on their pre-season minutes.

Midfielders

  • Morgan Schneiderin (£4.5m) – 405 minutes
  • Tom Davies (£4.5m) – 264 minutes
  • Kevin Mirallas (£5.5m) – 262 minutes
  • Kieran Dowell – 257 minutes
  • Muhamed Besic – 225 minutes
  • Gylfi Sigurdsson (£7.5m) – 222 minutes
  • Richarlison (£6.5m) – 216 minutes
  • Nikola Vlasic (£5.0m) – 199 minutes
  • Idrissa Gueye (£5.0m) – 194 minutes
  • Davy Klaassen – 124 minutes [HAS JOINED WERDER BREMEN]
  • Theo Walcott (£6.5m) – 60 minutes
  • Ademola Lookman (£5.5m) – 54 minutes

Schneiderlin looks the most assured of a start in the Everton midfield with a lot of the obvious first-choice players a little behind every one else. There has been plenty of game-time for Davies, Mirallas, Dowell and Besic, while Sigurdsson, Richarlison and Gueye have only been involved in the second-half of the pre-season campaign. Walcott only made his first appearance in the final match, managing 60 minutes.

Forwards

  • Sandro Ramirez (£5.5m) – 450 minutes
  • Cenk Tosun (£7.0m) – 374 minutes
  • Oumar Niasse (£5.5m) – 243 minutes
  • Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£5.5m) – 16 minutes

Like the midfielder, the most-used option is unlikely to feature in Gameweek 1, although it’s worth noting how often Sandro played. In fact, it was more than any outfield player. Tosun should not find too much competition for his place elsewhere, managing 131 more minutes than Niasse.

FULHAM

Fulham played a total of eight pre-season friendlies this summer. The maximum possible number of minutes that could have been played by one of their players was 720.

Goalkeepers

  • Fabri (£4.5m) – 270 minutes
  • Marek Rodak – 170 minutes
  • Marcus Bettinelli (£4.5m) – 115 minutes

New signing Fabri has featured in every match since he arrived and, consequently, was the most frequently used shot-stopper for Fulham this summer.

Defenders

  • Cyrus Christie (£4.5m) – 386 minutes
  • Denis Odoi (£4.5m) – 384 minutes
  • Tim Ream (£4.5m) – 340 minutes
  • Steven Sessegnon – 303 minutes
  • Maxime Le Marchand (£4.5m) – 300 minutes
  • Marlon Fossey – 264 minutes
  • Calum Chambers (£4.5m) – 186 minutes [PLAYED AT ARSENAL]

Odoi and Ream were looking like the first-choice centre-backs based on their pre-season game-time, until Chambers and Mawson signed this week. Le Marchand and Christie look to have played enough minutes at full-back to be considered first-choice.

Midfielders

  • Ryan Sessegnon (£6.5m) – 402 minutes
  • Tom Cairney (£5.0m) – 354 minutes
  • Stefan Johansen (£5.5m) – 343 minutes
  • Neeskens Kebano (£4.5m) – 345 minutes
  • Jean Michael Seri (£5.5m) – 270 minutes
  • Luca de la Torre – 269 minutes
  • Kevin McDonald (£5.0m) – 225 minutes
  • Andre Schürrle (£6.0m) – 174 minutes

Reinforcements at the back should allow Sessegnon to continue as a regular feature in attacking midfield. He was largely deployed there in pre-season, as the joint most-used Fulham player in pre-season but did have spells at left-back.

Forwards

  • Aboubakar Kamara (£4.5m) – 402 minutes
  • Alexsandar Mitrovic (£6.5m) – 108 minutes

Mitrovic was obviously first-choice at Fulham last season and he will probably stay that way for Gameweek 1, even if Kamara was the joint most-used Fulham player this summer.

HUDDERSFIELD TOWN

Huddersfield Town played 90 pre-season friendlies but two of them lasted just 45 minutes. For that reason, the most any Terriers player could have registered was 720 minutes.

Goalkeepers

  • Ben Hamer (£4.0m) – 450 minutes
  • Joel Coleman – 180 minutes
  • Jonas Lössl (£4.5m) – 90 minutes

Hamer is looking like the most viable £4.0m goalkeeper ahead of the 2018/19 season, having registered more minutes than any other Huddersfield player. There has been some doubt over whether Lössl is ready for the season according to David Wagner, even though he did not feature for Denmark in Russia, with Kasper Schmeichel the number one.

Defenders

  • Christopher Schindler (£4.5m) – 442 minutes
  • Terence Kongolo (£4.5m) – 419 minutes
  • Tommy Smith (£4.5m) – 396 minutes
  • Chris Löwe (£4.5m) – 356 minutes
  • Florent Hadergjonaj (£4.5m) – 330 minutes
  • Jon Stanković – 299 minutes
  • Michael Hefele – 270 minutes
  • Jordan Williams – 162 minutes
  • Scott Malone (£4.0m) – 162 minutes
  • Mathias ‘Zanka’ Jorgensen (£4.5m) – 119 minutes
  • Erik Durm (£4.5m) – 16 minutes

Schindler is the most secure of a start at centre-back, with his usual partner Zanka the least-used defender in pre-season following his involvement with Denmark at the World Cup. Löwe is by far the most-used left-back, with popular £4.0m option Malone playing considerably fewer minutes. Smith should hold onto right-back for now with new signing Durm playing just 16 minutes in pre-season.

Midfielders

  • Jonathan Hogg (£4.5m) – 419 minutes
  • Philip Billing (£4.5m) – 389 minutes
  • Alex Pritchard (£5.0m) – 360 minutes
  • Rajiv van La Parra (£5.0m) – 351 minutes
  • Abdelhamid Sabiri (£4.5m) – 329 minutes
  • Adama Diakhaby (£5.0m) – 207 minutes
  • Ramadan Sobhi (£5.0m) – 193 minutes
  • Aaron Mooy (£5.5m) – 182 minutes

Hogg and Billing both look ready for the season as the most-used central midfielders but one of them may still have to make way for Mooy. Pritchard was deployed extensively as a number 10 with little competition in that role. The wide midfield roles are harder to call with van La Parra and Sobhi probably the favourites.

Forwards

  • Steve Mounié (£6.0m) – 390 minutes
  • Laurent Depoitre (£5.5m) – 330 minutes
  • Elias Kachunga (£5.0m) – 267 minutes

Mounié is definitely the number one Huddersfield forward for Gameweek 1 having started more matches and registered more minutes than team-mate Depoitre this summer.

    should i keep two 4.5 defs and 0.5 itb or change to one 5.5 and one 4.0

    others are Robbo,Mendy and WB

    1. banskt
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Two 4.5 defs who rotate with WB.

      1. ZimZalabim
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        thats what im on atm but im considering getting coleman/bailly and maybe peltier as a fifth def with WB moving to 4th option and cover
        what do you think ?

    2. The Wise Owl
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Hmm, yeah keep the money, never know when you might need it

  3. UnitedFan
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Much difference between Wan Bissaka and Peltier as picks? Any preferences?

    1. F4L
      • 9 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      WB is the far better pick imo

    2. Bolivian Seaman
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      cardiff will defend more at home so perhaps they are more predictable

    3. OldBenKenobi
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I prefer both 😉

      1. FPL Virgin
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Ditto 🙂

    4. The Wanton Trader
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      WanB..
      Peltier plays for Cardiff...

    5. Root
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Wan-Bissaka plays for a much better team.

    6. shirtless
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Both. Get that bench down to 16.5.

  4. banskt
    • 10 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Is Mark Noble sure to start if not injured? Or, will he be on the bench now that Wilshere is here?

    1. ZimZalabim
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      i would expect both to start with kouyate gone

    2. BoleynWin
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Completely different position mate, Noble will start and is on pens. The two threats to his place in DCM are Sanchez & Rice. I expect our lineup to be
      Fabianski
      Fredericks Diop/Balbuena Ogbonna Creswell
      Noble Rice - (Holding midfield)
      Wilshire
      Yarmalenko - Arnie - Anderson

      1. banskt
        • 10 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Thanks for the clarification. But Carlos Sanchez and Declan Rice seem to considerable threats. But, Noble, being the club captain, will probably start unless injured. Am I correct?

        With the new attacking talents at West Ham, I expect them to get a few penalties this season. Noble is half into my team. Only if I could know if he is nailed.

    3. iCon
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Sanchez has just signed so surely he'll impact Noble somewhat?

      1. Totally Hammered
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        No, Sanchez and Rice will be veying to play alongside Noble as Boleynwin mentioned above, Rice being 19 years old and in his 1st season playing CDM isn't going to play week in week out... Noble when fit will play..

        1. banskt
          • 10 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          Ah, great. Music to my ears. "Noble when fit will play.".. I think I got my 5th mid there... In spite of playing defensively, he is on pens. And with Pellegrini as the manager, they are surely going to get lots of them. Last season, Palace got 10.. Milivojevic scored 7. If the Hammers can match those numbers, I am sure Noble will score 10 out of 10.

  5. Hardly Athletic
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Thoughts on having a forward (Arnie in this case) in your team who is playing against one of your defenders (VvD). Best to avoid this scenario or just pick both players and hope the defender gets attacking returns?

    1. Homo Neanderthalensis
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I’ve got Aubameyang vs Mendy on GW1. Wouldnt imagine subbing any of them considering their price.

    2. banskt
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I try to avoid. If its inevitable I play them both, and hope for the best.

    3. OldBenKenobi
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Or your hedging your bet.
      If one blanks the other likely benefits

    Still cant decide between Eriksen or Mane!!! (Already have Salah)

    Thoughts guys??

    1. GE
      • 7 Years

      Mane for now

  8. Dr. Rog
    • 14 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    does anyone know of a player that

    - is nailed
    - takes pens
    - takes corners and free kicks
    - plays in a team that plays football like England
    - has first 3 fixtures of bou NEW hud
    - scored 7 goals last season
    - is owned by 0.4%
    - isnt in any RMTs
    - costs 5mln

    if someone like that existed he would be a fantastic enabler

    1. Bob B
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      - rhymes with balls

    2. banskt
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Yeah, I looked at him, but given Cardiff's goalscoring records, I passed. You have to earn the penalties first. Kept on the watchlist.

      Milivojevic scored 7 penalties last season. 7!

      Noble and Cairney also on pens at 5m.

    3. ritzyd
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      And unfortunatley plays for cardiff who are going to be bottom

    4. Maddi Son
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I do know a player like that but his following fixtures are Arsenal, Chelsea, Man City then Spurs & Liverpool not long after.

      Shame.

    Has anyone the link to the article where defence rotations were compared? I'm struggling to find it... assuming there is one.

      Searched for it and can’t find it either 🙁

    Didn't realise Huddersfield had played so many friendlies!

    1. The Wise Owl
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I think they're possibly the most friendly team

  12. Mr Q

    Why the love for ben Davies suddenly?

      Rose possibly going on loan

    2. Homo Neanderthalensis
      • 10 Years

      Nailed if rose goes.

        Ah, thanks

    The preseason coverage by Munday has been exemplary.

    Far better than this time last year.

    A big thank you for all the research and data gathering, David!

      Have to agree. Been brilliant.

        To record every minute of every player during preseason is crazy!

      Have you seen his trophy collection.

  14. England23
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Have Arnie and richarlison,

    Should I swap Arnie out to:

    A. King
    B. Tosun
    C. Zaha

    1. Vlad Tepes
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      What is your other forwards

      1. England23
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Auba and Aguero

        1. Vlad Tepes
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          Okey, I would stick with Arnie or go for King. I would not get Tosun if you have Richarlison already

    2. TAT
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I'm going to have two of these, but really don't know which two.

    3. Homo Neanderthalensis
      • 10 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Tosun

  15. Vlad Tepes
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Guys what is your thoughts on Lacazette? Is he nailed or what kind of formation will Arsenal start the season with?
    Cheers

    1. TAT
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      He might, but from the lineups in pre-season friendlies, it's hard to tell.

    2. William.gallant
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      As an arsenal fan I think he's pretty much guaranteed nailed with aubemayang playing left wing. Emery likes playing a 4141 formation. He tried to play 442 in preseason but it didn't work well.

      1. TAT
        • 6 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        I think the 4-4-2 will be in certain games only, just to be flexible.

      2. Vlad Tepes
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Okey thanks might try to squeeze him in my squad

    3. Maddi Son
      • 6 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      He's a bandwagon waiting to happen. Jump on before it begins.

      Likely won't play after GW 3. Go for Cook.

        But those first 3 are tasty
        I am taking Daniels to assist king in the first 3 then transfer out

      2. The Wise Owl

    Hi guys, need opinions on this:

    A) Bellerin (5,5) + Peltier(4)
    B) Bailly(5,5) + Peltier(4)

    Come on FFS no Team News option on the home page yet with a day to go....FFS! Its the key discussion at the mo....starters and positions.

    2. Lanley Staurel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      Why Robbo over TAA?

      1. Frank Black
        • 11 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Because offensively he's much better and he's now first choice while Clyne is first choice on the right when fit.

        1. Lanley Staurel
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          Thanks. Makes sense.

        2. ZimZalabim
          • 7 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          wouldnt say clyne is first choice but id a much bigger threat than moreno. I would expect clyne to start the first gw or 2 but TAA will be first choice after that

  26. Hairy Potter

    Are 5.0 DMs for top six clubs actually poor FPL options for the price? I get that they make it harder to triple up on more premium options, but the likes of Kante, Matic, Dier could get 100 points in a season without having produce many goals or assists.

    Hey guys, I’m going out all day tomorrow and I don’t think I’ll have access to WiFi so the last time I will be able to edit my team is early tomorrow morning. Do you think this could be a problem at all?

      Cancel whatever plans you have for tomorrow. This is more important

  29. Finnish Fish
    • 5 Years
    5 years, 10 months ago

    Down to final two points..

    Gross the best 7.0 mid as I can rotate him with Pereira (Lei)?

    Best goalkeeper under 5.5? Currently on Patricio with 1 mill in the bank.

    Cheers 🙂

    1. Delima
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 10 months ago

      I like Gross, at some point he will produce. Havent looked at the difficulty of their schedule though.
      Patricio is my (hopefully) set and forget keeper.

      1. Finnish Fish
        • 5 Years
        5 years, 10 months ago

        Yeah my only problem is sometimes having 7.0 mill player on the bench (if I rotate him with Pereira and I should). But as I dont like the under 7.0 atm, I see some promising players there so I could switch Gross to someone else if it doesnt work.. Thoughts?

        1. Delima
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 10 months ago

          There are a lot of interesting 6,5 options and by picking Gross, you could easily downgrade to the emerging one of the 6,5 lot. Even after price rise.

          1. Finnish Fish
            • 5 Years
            5 years, 10 months ago

            Yeah, cheers. 🙂
