Gameweek 6 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) concludes this afternoon, with Manchester United v Arsenal getting underway at 16:30 BST.

Erik ten Hag makes one change from Thursday’s 1-0 win over Leicester City, with new £82m signing Antony handed his first start.

That means Anthony Elanga drops out, and takes his place on the substitutes bench alongside Casemiro and Cristiano Ronaldo.

As for the visitors, Aaron Ramsdale, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Martin Odegaard all start despite going into the match flagged, as Arsenal hope to continue their perfect start to the season at Old Trafford.


GAMEWEEK 6 LINE-UPS

Manchester United XI: de Gea, Dalot, Varane, Martinez, Malacia, McTominay, Eriksen, Antony, Fernandes, Sancho, Rashford

Subs: Heaton, Dubravka, Lindelof, Maguire, Ronaldo, Fred, Casemiro, Shaw, Elanga

Arsenal XI: Ramsdale, White, Saliba, Gabriel, Zinchenko, Sambi, Xhaka, Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli, Jesus

Subs: Turner, Tierney, Smith-Rowe, Nketiah, Holding, Soares, Tomiyasu, Vieira, Marquinhos

      What a weird signing.

      1. Bartowski
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Think you're forgetting that he speaks Portuguese so very on brand signing.

    2. have you seen cyan

        1. F4L

    1. Yes Don
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Rodrigo > Rashford last week

      1. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Nicely done

      2. Bluetiger1
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Good call

        1. Bluetiger1
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          inspired

    2. PogChamp
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Nice on Rashford. I sold on gw2 for Zaha so kinda got lucky.

  3. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Done Robo to Trippier with FT.
    Instant WC is still tempting but recon should wait until IB?

    Rambo
    TAA/Cancelo/Perisic/Trippier
    Salah/Martineli/Sinisterra/Gross
    Haaland/Jesus

    Ward/Neco/Pereira/Archer

    1. Arn De Gothia
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      join me on the darkside, its fun

    2. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      1. Yes Robbo to Trippier

      2. WC - possible now wait to IB

  4. TomSaints
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Enjoy united fans.

    You’re a flawed team who won’t make top 6 but having a good few result 🙂

    1. You've got red on you.
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Think we'll finish 4th or 5th

    2. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Get real, then get bent.

      1. Herger
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        You don’t get an opinion.

        1. Yank Revolution
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Lol says the noob with no history here and despised by dozens. Riiiight.

    3. Bennerman
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Talk about looking for an argument. What a passive aggressive post

    4. Herger
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      We will win the league mate. This is pretty clear. Only team capable of maybe challenging us is City

  5. One More Hit
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Keep Morgan Gibbs-White or bring Rashford in? Didn't watch the game so if it was a flash in the pan will avoid.

    1. lugs
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      his goals today were counter attacks helped by suicide Arsenal defending a high line, it won't be so easy next week for him against a tough Palace side who will be looking to hit them on the counter instead

  6. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Ugly Gameweek, here's the summary:

    1
    2, 1, 1, 1
    5, 3, 2, 2
    18, 2

    Thank god the captaincy was right and the transfer in got a measly assist. More then the rest of the clowns :mrgreen:

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Sterling and James are sure to deliver next week

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Shame I don't have Sterling 😆

        1. Eat my goal!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Damn sure I had you pinned for sterling

          1. Hazz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            Nah. If I went for a Chelsea attacker it would be him but I never trust our attack enough to splash super heavily on it

            1. Zimo
              • 7 Years
              3 years, 7 months ago

              Doit! Salah to Sterling and Jesus to Kane.

      2. Zimo
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Sterling will need an attacking return. Mitrovic can't be stopped.

        1. Zimo
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Lol sorry James*

  7. Athletic Nasherbo
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Really finding it difficult to target players. Many of the top teams have tough fixtures coming up, and it’s too risky to start moving from the template.

    What are your top 3 targets for the next few weeks?

    1. Strchld
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Probably Trossard, Rashford, Gross, Toney for next 2, then hitting WC.

    2. Arn De Gothia
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      on WC, KdB, Cancel & Haaland + autofill

      1. Ser Davos
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Think this is the way

    3. F4L
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      concentrating on getting all the Spurs and Chelsea wing backs in and hopefully choosing the right ones to start each week

      sess' stats yesterday were ridiculous

  8. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Really tempted to hit the WC button to:

    Sanchez Ward
    Cancelo James Perisic Trippier Emerson
    KDB Diaz Zaha Rashford/Martinelli Andreas
    Haaland Toney Mitrovic

    As a 3-4-3, rotating one of the defenders based on fixtures - feels well rounded to me. Relies on Salah not being at his best, but then we probably won't actually captain him if Haaland is a permacap?

    1. Arn De Gothia
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Do it 🙂

      For now im on:

      Pope Ward
      Cancelo James Tripp Dalot Patterson
      KdB Rash Martinelli MacA Andreas
      Haaland Toney Isak

      4,4 Itb

    2. Khark
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Im wildcarding this week!

    3. Ser Davos
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      like it

  9. Randaxus
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    My Top 6 prediction

    1. Manchester City
    2. Liverpool
    3. Tottenham
    4. Arsenal
    5. Chelsea
    6. Manchester United

    This could be completely wrong, I am pretty confident on the top 3, but 4-6 I am not sure.

    1. Randaxus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      The points are going to be a lot closer this season.

    2. DF
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Cant see liverpool finishing 2nd.

    3. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      City will run away with it - Klopps final year 2nd massively wrong

      1. Randaxus
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        I think City will run away at the top but in think the points difference between 2nd and 3-6 will be a lot lower.

    4. kroky
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Mine is : City
      Arsenal
      Liverpool
      Spurs
      United
      Chelsea

    5. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Nah Tottenham will finish above Liverpool.

      1. Randaxus
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        This is a very interesting prediction, Conte is a genius who can get water from a stone, so I do not doubt it.

        1. Digital-Real
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Is he now?

      2. kroky
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Yeah will be right for sure

        1. kroky
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Tight*

    6. Bluetiger1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      City I agree - rest in the melting pot?

  11. TorresMagic™

      TM, is there a page with the safety scores so far? Forgot to join at the start of the season and suspect I would have been out in GW4 anyway

      1. One for All
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

    2. FOO FIGHTER

      He went off holding his hamstring.

    3. DycheDycheBaby

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years

        Considering how many Martinelli owners there are I thought that was very kind of me

  17. keefy59
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years

    Benched Williams scored the same points in total
    As my back 4 of Trent/Cancello/James & Saliba
    Is big at the back finished for now ?

    Sanchez
    TAA - James - Trippier - Gabriel
    Sterling - Dias - Martinelli
    Haaland - Kane - Jesus

    Iverson, Neco, Andreas, Murphy

    2 FT and 0.0 itb, considering ditching TAA to beef up the midfield?

  19. DycheDycheBaby
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    40 points. Absolute shocker. Only positive is that I captained the right player (Haaland).

    1. Bobby Digital
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Neco and Haaland my only scorers... How you like them apples?

    2. Traction Engine Foot

    Haaland going to be 12.0 soon.

    1. Kane and Ablett

      Should be 13.0 with all the transfers in but they make the pricing too inelastic for sure things, in Kane’s break through season he didn’t reach 7.0 even after 21 goals….makes it more fun for everyone to be to jump aboard

    Potential WC team for GW9. Not very exceted about WCing yet. Still need to see some form from players with better fixtures.

    Pickford
    James Chilwell Trippier
    Sterling Bowen Maddison ASM
    Haaland Kane Mitro

    Ward | Patterson, Andreas, Neco

    Hmmm looks like it could really backfire. Might be postponing the WC at this rate.
