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.

    Relieved to know that there's still time for Haaland 5 goals

    1. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      I ll be happy with 1 and 3 bps now

    2. Totalfootball
      • 9 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      Yep that's what you get with him.
      Can score 5 in 1 half.

  5. jacob1989

    9 months, 24 days ago

    Haaland is going to blank and salah score a 93rd minute penalty right?

    1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 9 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      Yes.

    2. Sam Jammers
      9 months, 24 days ago

      Yep

  6. Pino
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    9 months, 24 days ago

    Liverpool have scored in the last 39 games.

  7. Sam Jammers
    9 months, 24 days ago

    Mateta blazes wide

  8. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    9 months, 24 days ago

    My gut feeling was not to bench Mateta, but meant with the models.

    I regret that choice.

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      He’s bound to score with the chances he’s getting

    2. Sam Jammers
      9 months, 24 days ago

      Never trust models

    3. Brosstan
      • 11 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      Honestly deserved. How do people play like this,just letting AI make decisions

      1. Hazz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        9 months, 24 days ago

        Such a dumb comment. Mateta himself has been looking exhausted lately, and Brighton had a terrible first half.

  9. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
    • 9 Years
    9 months, 24 days ago

    How unlucky can you be as a Mateta and Esteve owner

    1. jacob1989
      • 4 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      Not as unlucky if u have bruno too

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        9 months, 24 days ago

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 14 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

    2. Punned It
      • 1 Year
      9 months, 24 days ago

      At least I've played Rodon and Enzo, and I don't own Bruno, so I'll just grab whatever positives I can.

  28. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 13 Years
    9 months, 24 days ago

    Liverpool will struggle this season if they don’t sort that defence out.

    1. Snoop Udogie Dogg
      • 5 Years

    1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
      • 9 Years

      1. KAPTAIN KANE SERVES THE PAI…
        • 9 Years
        9 months, 24 days ago

        1 goal no bonus probably optimal outcome

    2. Snoop Udogie Dogg
      • 5 Years
      9 months, 24 days ago

      Not much to worry about, whether he hauls or not
