Fantasy Premier League: Top 5 players after the international break

#4 Benjamin Mendy

Mendy might just climb back up the table in the coming weeks.

Back from injury and back into our radar. Mendy was on fire in the initial weeks of the competition grabbing five assists in the first four games. After picking up an injury he sat out the next three games before returning with a clean sheet in the game against Liverpool.

He wasn't selected in the French international squad, and will be expected to have fully recovered, and raring to go once again. Those who have stuck by him (about 14%) might expect a clean sheet along with an attacking return this weekend as Man City host Burnley.

Mendy is currently priced at £6.2m and if he hits the ground running agaimn might rekindle the premium defenders debate where players like him, Marcos Alonso, Kieran Trippier are being slated to give greater returns than significantly higher priced midfielders and forwards.

As for Man City, they run into a mixed group of fixtures before things get smoother for them. However, with the squad depth that they possess, you'd expect their players to gain points regardless of the game.
