Could Sergio Aguero start on the bench again this weekend after the international break?

The first international break has come to a close but what affect will flying off across the globe and playing two games of football have on the players in our fantasy football teams? There are no major injuries to report so the biggest news is that Harry Kane Kane broke his dry spell, scoring his first and second goal of the season against minnows Malta.

Rotation for our fantasy teams is always a worry coming out of an international break, especially for the South American and Asian players who have to contend with jet lag and fatigue even if they just travelled with their squad. Sergio Aguero didn’t play a minute for Argentina but he was still sitting on a bench in South America on Wednesday morning at 06:30 (BST), just 78 hours before Manchester City play Liverpool at 12:30 on Saturday. His flight from Buenos Aires is 15 hours and 40 minutes (according to google maps which doesn’t take into account private jets!), which leaves just 56 hours and 20 minutes to recover.

Below is a statistical round-up of all the international football minutes, goals and shots that fantasy football players managed this week.
