Here’s our fantasy premier league GW1 absentees article. Here we look at the players who participated in the Confederations Cup and the Euro under 21 competition and see where they are in their pre-season
fantasy premier league GW1 absentees – remember the Confederations Cup and the Euro U21s?
We’ll mention the players involved in the 2 competitions at each club and then state whether they have participated in pre-season games as of Wednesday the 26th July. The first game is now only 2 weeks away. I’m not sure what it means if they haven’t participated but it can’t be good. At this stage it’s a watchlist and a risk register if you like. Unlike injuries I don’t believe these will be flagged up on the fantasy premier league site
It’s just meant to be the key players but please tell me in the comments if I’ve missed anything or got something wrong
