FPL Gameweek 6: The key player and team statistics

Our Big Numbers piece takes a look at the vast array of data available in our Premium Members’ Area and presents the eye-catching statistics that may be of interest.

We’ve again run down the stand-out figures in every position for this article, as well as looking at the strengths and weaknesses of various teams to assess which Fantasy Premier League assets could shine in Gameweek 6.

There’s a bit of an evolution in the Big Numbers series this week. Alongside our usual nuggets, we will, for the first time, also be offering a few titbits delivered directly by Opta, our match data providers.

    Pick 2 to start:

    A) Castagne (ARS-A)
    B) Chilwell (MUN-H)
    C) Dallas (AVL-H)
    D) Mitchell (FUL-A)

    Currently on A & B since a CS seems virtually impossible atm.
    Cheers!

      Wow so B and a toss-up between the other 3! :/

      1. Chelsea91
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        start Mitchell and put Castagne on the first sub.

      But AC are two guys that score or do something

      D is clean sheet or nothing- I think Fulham is due a win

  2. Roy Rovers

    Exact cash for these moves for -4. Do it or not?

    Sterling > Barkley
    Brewster > Aguero

    Martinez Forster
    Dallas Zouma Mitchell Lamptey Lewis
    Salah Sterling Son Pulisic Bissouma
    DCL Kane Brewster

    1. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      not

    2. Baron Saturday
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Not

    3. Ibralicious
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      No, very sideways IMO not worth a -4

    4. Chelsea91

      NO Hold

    5. Tsparkes10

    6. Third Eye Vision

      I actually prefer Sterling over Aguero at the moment.

      However, your defence isn’t amazing so presumably you’d be better playing 3 defenders usually, and since you’ve only got 6 decent attackers, getting in Barkley as a 7rh attacker makes sense.

      I’d do it for that reason. You’ll be priced out in a day or two as well when Barkley rises.

    7. Live Lad
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      You just transferred in Brewster. Don't change the structure frequently.

    3. Third Eye Vision
      • 11 Years

      Decent team. Not a fan of having both Maupay & Wilson, but it’s the sort of sacrifice needed for a strong def & mid.

      1. Chelsea91
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Will change Maupay or Wilson to Westham attack from GW 8

  4. baines is god
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Bissouma, Jorginho or Mitchell. Start 1?

    1. Chelsea91
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Mitchell

    2. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Biss

    3. SpaceCadet
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Jorg

  5. Chandler Bing
    • 7 Years

    Any chance Raz gets benched this weekend? He played the full 90 last night.

    1. baines is god
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Possible with Torres scoring from the bench, however still unlikely I think. Expect him to start.

    2. Chelsea91
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      No

    3. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Doubt it

    4. Camino Aleatorio
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Pep needs him playing

      KDB hurt, Kun rusty, Dilva retired, Foden not sharp

      Seems crucial for MCI to play Raz

      Play KWP and Bench Doh , need to sort out Doh to Lamptey maybe?

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years

        Double Southampton defence against Everton screams 2 points :/. Not keen on Lamptey

        1. Chelsea91
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Brighton can destroy West Brom , and alot of assist could be from Lamptey.

      Mitro had plenty of chances against us and could be a worse fixture for him.. Same with Podence... I'd honestly save and take a -4 next week for a mini ec

  16. Ibralicious
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Why are people starting Mitchell with PVA set to return this week? Isn't there a good chance he comes off the bench for a 1 pointer, blocking your 1st sub?

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Worth the risk with the fixture over say someone like KWP or someone who looks set for a 1 pointer whether they start or not

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Maybe Van Aanholt continues to remain on bench just like Milivojevic and Sakho.

      Template bar Zaha. Would be worried about the defenders on your bench tho

      1. gart888
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        My hope is to never have to play them. Going to nail on Robbo/Chilwell/Lamptey for potential attacking returns. If one of them gets hurt I'll downgrade a midfielder and re-buy KWP/Dallas.

        1. FC Hakkebøf
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Rotation?

          1. gart888
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Well for now I'll at least get some points out of Kilman/Struijk. If they both get dropped from their starting lineups I'll have to make a move.

          2. gart888
            • 9 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            Think I'm better with KWP/Dallas than Lamptey/Struijk?

  20. Flair
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    City's clear decline in offensive numbers is a real issue. Sterling is a dilemma to solve

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Not a dilemma with WHU and SHU next

      1. Flair
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Probably

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      True, I'm still 50-50 on whether it's worth getting a Man City player or not.

      With that fixture run, triple up should have been obvious.

      1. Flair
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I'd pick Mane over Sterling and Kane over Aguero right now so it's tricky. Sitting on Sterling and Foden right now, nervous due to our lackluster offensive numbers. xG not where it should be. GW10 is the main fixture swing time.

    3. NABIL - FPL otai
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Don't buy, don't sell for Sterling imo.

      Kun also can wait. They must be missing some creativity there

  21. Aubaaaaa
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Which pair would you prefer?
    A. Grealish Maupay
    B. Mcginn DCL

    1. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A

    2. Pukki Blinders

    3. I Must Break You
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years

      I'd go B actually. McGinn sneaky value at 5.5, and DCL much better than Maupay

            Yeah, it'll only be 3-0 instead of 6-0 😛

    Pereira --> Pulisic for -4pts? Or should I wait next GW and do it for free?

      I think Chelsea will do well at OT, but I wouldn’t take a hit for it.

    Hey guys its my first season but I've noticed I'm amongst a small minority playing 4 at the back. I've got trent saiss chilwell castagne (mitchell) with martinez in goal. Am I doing something fundamentally wrong that I should correct with my next wildcard?

    1. Bushwhacker
      • 4 Years

      Nothing wrong at all ; the general feeling is there are so few clean sheets that spending on defense is wasted. That’s a very good but very expensive back line that obviously is hurting investment in midfielders or attackers - but Saiss got a nice clean sheet this week and nearly a goal so who’s to say in the long term its wrong.

        Yeah and up top I've been fine, I'm at 150k OR thanks to dcl since week 1 and son from the beginning. Was on the JRod hype train from gw2 and salah captain for the hat trick. So I've been lucky with points elsewhere, just wondering if I could have been further up if I had a cheaper defense

    2. Samir16

      My only concern is im at 150 OR despite the expensive defense. Should I be downgrading and upgrading elsewhere, any suggestions would be great

        150k

          I think a lot of people on here would be very happy with that OR at this stage of the season, play how you like.

      Not at all, imagine you’re doing very well.

      Different theories come in and out of vogue on here depending on what happens in the most recent game week.

      Pick players you think will get the most points.

        Okay, thanks! Really wanted the input of someone who's played the game for a few seasons

          Just relax and play your own game as well, most people give advice to make your team look more like theirs. Follow a few people with great rank histories if you’re keen- go to the Hall of Fame on here and see the top people. All this ‘FPL Network’ stuff is mostly just the people who shout the loudest.

      You're doing great, well done.

      Many ways to skin a cat.. if it's working, it's working.

      You can argue that attacking players generally have a higher chance of scoring big hauls than defenders do, so in theory you would maximise this by playing more of them. Defenders can only score 1 clean sheet.

      To facilitate more decent attacking players, generally funds are drawn from defence.

      Obviously TAA etc. scored highly last year but this hasn't always been the case.

      I don't think it's a rush to play 343 or 352 but I would look to move towards it when possible, but at the end of the day there is no perfect solution which is part of the game. Historically 343 has been the most popular and I think it has been (and still will be) for a reason.

    Martinez
    Coady TAA Digne
    Rashford Bale Salah Mahrez JRod
    Watkins Wood

    Steer, Mitchell, Taylor, Brewster

    Decided on KdB out.

    A) KdB + Justin -> Bruno + Reguilon, play Wilson

    B) KdB + Wilson -> Grealish + Aguero, play Coady

    Which option for the next 3??
