Erling Haaland carries the weight of 700k+ Triple Captainers’ expectations on his shoulders as Gameweek 6 continues with four more matches:

TEAM NEWS

With fears around a back injury eased on Friday, there’s no surprise that Haaland starts for Manchester City this afternoon.

Pep Guardiola does make some alterations from Gameweek 5, two of which are enforced as Abdudokir Khusanov is injured and Rodri is “not fully fit”.

Bernardo Silva also drops to the bench as Matheus Nunes, Savinho and Nico Rodriguez get Premier League starts.

Burnley boss Scott Parker reverts to last weekend’s starting XI after making wholesale changes for the Carabao Cup defeat by Cardiff City.

Man City old boy Kyle Walker makes a return to the Etihad.

Down in south London, Alexander Isak gets his first league start of the season.

He’s one of two changes from the Merseyside derby as Florian Wirtz also returns. Cody Gakpo drops to the bench, while Hugo Ekitike is suspended.

Oliver Glasner’s one change from last Saturday sees Ismaila Sarr return from injury to take the place of Will Hughes.

Chelsea boss Enzo Maresca has had his hand forced with his two Gameweek-to-Gameweek changes, due to injuries sustained by Cole Palmer and Wesley Fofana.

Andrey Santos and Jorrel Hato come in.

Diego Gomez, who scored four goals in midweek, ousts Brajan Gruda from the Brighton and Hove Albion side.

Finally, at Elland Road, unchanged Leeds United take on a Bournemouth side showing three alterations from the 0-0 draw with Newcastle United.

Ryan Christie, Justin Kluivert and Amine Adli all come in, with David Brooks, Marcus Tavernier and Alex Scott dropping to the bench.

LIVE GAMEWEEK PAGE!

New to Fantasy Football Scout this week is the Live Gameweek page, which you can see on the side menu.

Here you can follow the scores, watch the defensive contribution (DC) points roll in, see who the leading players are for xG and more as the games play out, as seen below:



We hope you find it useful!

  1. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    6 months, 27 days ago

    Rough:

    BB Esteve 2 own goals
    Dubravka

    Only Haaland C not TC

    Smooth:

    BB Sarr goal
    De Cuyper goal
    Senesi assist
    Semenyo goal

    All on KDH for the remaining bench booster now!

    1. Feanor
      • 16 Years
      6 months, 27 days ago

      Why BB two defenders against City?

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        6 months, 27 days ago

        Wildcard next week and won’t have playing bench or 8th attacker basically, Sarr has saved it I hope but need a KDH return really to cement it.

      2. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        6 months, 27 days ago

        And tbf if it weren’t for the ridiculously unlucky 2 own goals it wouldn’t have been too bad as cleverly played for the DC and save points which they both got

  15. Drop Dead Tsimikas
    • 14 Years
    6 months, 27 days ago

    Semenyo saving my day (though not by much). The combined forces of (S)alah, Bruno (RIP, there's a reason I don't usually pick my team's players and today was exhibit A), Reijnders and JP got me 7 points from eight goals scored by their teams. FML.

      Honestly tempted to bring Jaidon Anthony in as Gakpo replacement… Leeds, Wolves, West Ham in his next five!

    5. lilmessipran
      • 13 Years
      6 months, 27 days ago

      Why have fpl given the Chiesa assist to Grav? It was clearly Gakpo there??

    6. JT11fc
      • 7 Years

      Who got the assist for last city goal?

      1. Fifa las vegas

      1. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
        • 9 Years
        6 months, 27 days ago

        Dropping Muñoz for Richards

      2. Fifa las vegas
        • 13 Years
        6 months, 27 days ago

        Guehi racking up points over Munoz is sickening

          • 16 Years
          6 months, 27 days ago

          I've swapped them and upgraded Esteve to VDV with the change.

      • 16 Years
