How the top 10k FPL managers set up for Gameweek 6

The top 10,000 Fantasy Premier League managers ahead of Gameweek 6 have overwhelmingly given their backing to Sergio Aguero (£12.1m).

After a midweek rest from Champions League duties, the Manchester City forward has been captained by 42.7% of those currently occupying the top 10k slots in the overall rankings.

The Argentinian faces a Watford side that has averaged two goals conceded per game in 2019/20 and has seven goals in the first five matches of the campaign himself.

It was Raheem Sterling (£12.2m) who won the Fantasy Football Scout captain poll for Gameweek 6, earning the support of 26.5%.

However, it must be said that as the week wore on, his lead at the top of the vote shrunk at a rapid pace.

Before Sterling’s 90-minute outing in Ukraine, combined with Aguero’s rest, the Englishman enjoyed a 30% share of the poll.

Now that the Gameweek 6 deadline has passed, we can see that Sterling is still the second-most popular captain among the top 10k this weekend.

17.5% of these managers decided to hand him the armband for Watford’s visit to the Etihad Stadium.

Even though he was left way behind in Fantasy Football Scout’s captain poll, Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) is not far off Sterling’s support among the top 10k.

14.7% of these managers opted to captain the Egyptian with a trip to Chelsea his Gameweek 6 fixture.

Naturally, the top 10k’s captaincy decisions were in contrast to the data recorded worldwide.

Overall, Sterling was the most popular skipper, with 22.6% handing him the armband.

Aguero was on 18.6% and Salah 14.4%.

Five weeks into the campaign, we can start to get a better idea of what the template of players is among the best managers in FPL.

The most-owned assets among the top 10k indicate a number of interesting trends.

For example, it appears that managers are starting to siphon out money from their backlines in the wake of premium defensive options struggling to offer consistent clean sheets.

Therefore, David Button (£4.0m) is the most fashionable goalkeeper, sitting in 39.1% of teams despite being second-choice to Mat Ryan (£4.6m) at Brighton.

Nick Pope (£4.6m) is the most popular playing goalkeeper, owned by 22.9% of the top 10k managers.

Furthermore, the two most-fashionable defenders are the injured Martin Kelly (£4.1m) and Sheffield United man John Lundstram (£4.3m).

The two of them are owned by 49.3% and 46.2% of the top 10k respectively.

There are still a smattering of premium options in this position with Virgil van Dijk (£6.5m) is the most popular of these (36.7%).

Meanwhile, 34.9% have held on to Lucas Digne (£6.2m) for a home match against Sheffield United and 32.7% have kept the faith in Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.1m).

Meanwhile, Sterling has slipped down the pecking order somewhat, with only 48% of managers inside the top 10k in possession of him now.

Ahead of him in the template is Salah, in 64.6% of top 10k squads and Kevin de Bruyne (£9.8m), currently owned by 51.3% at this level.

Not surprisingly, 44.9% own Todd Cantwell (£4.9m) while 37.4% have elected to hold Mason Mount (£6.4m) through his injury doubt.

Teemu Pukki (£7.1m) is by far the most popular asset among the top 10k, sitting in 76.8% of teams, while Aguero’s 52.5% ownership at this level is higher than Sterling’s.

Not surprisingly, Tammy Abraham (£7.4m) is also a big player in the top 10k picture, sat in almost exactly half of all squads in the upper echelon.

Finally, we can see that chips were not used in great number among the top 10k for Gameweek 6.

After a flurry of Wildcards and Triple Captains last time out, no chip saw more than 3% usage in the top 10k.

41.4% of managers at this level have now used their Wildcards, while 32.6% have already deployed the Triple Captain.

14.3% have used the Free Hit while 10.8% have elected to use a Bench Boost for a single Gameweek.

      Had a look at the GW7 team when the game started earlier and immediately did the same thing
      Gut.

        I captained him twice last season and he got 42 and 28. The thing i don't hate about Sp*rs

        1. Murder On Zidanesfloor

          Only thing*

      Could go your way.

      I got him in for Newcastle so was delighted when he finally hauled

      Captaincy is a stretch too far even for me though

      Especially in an early game, and away, not sure Leicester will captitulate, and you kind of need a team to capitulate for a Son haul

      Will gladly take th Epping sir he does hattrick though

      Good luck!

          Ah right, that could be a great should

        He was talking about Southampton (Home)

          My bad

      Very jealous

    5. Pinturicchio10
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah me too I think. Close between Son vs Southampton and Salah vs Sheffield though.

        Same but triple cap

            • 5 Years

            I'm just happy to own him for their run

    6. Slitherene
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Anyone here knows if Romain Saiss is nailed in the Wolves team?

      1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I know that there are better options

        1. Slitherene
          • 6 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Okay! Tell me a defender under 4.4 with arguably better fixtures?

          1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Guilbert and Lundstram are far better options.

            Fixtures don't matter with Wolves, they are suffering from Thursday football.

            1. Slitherene
              • 6 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              I'm under the impression that for such cheap defenders, only fixtures divide them. Sheffield and Villa have terrible fixtures going ahead.

              Attacking wise collectively Wolves have been suffering a bit from Europe, but before Boly's red, they were decent in defense, conceding only 2 in 3. And Boly is back.

              If Saiss is nailed, could be great going forward. Plays OOP as well.

              1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
                • 5 Years
                4 years, 6 months ago

                Fair if you think so, wait to see if he starts this weekend.

      2. Valar(Keith)
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        He needs to fight it out with the first team regulars Neves, moutinho, dendonker for a spot.. So no he is not nailed at all. Look elsewhere.

    7. Pranav Santhosh
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Who to bench out of
      A) Digne
      B) Söyüncü
      C) James

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        James

      2. Murder On Zidanesfloor
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        C

      3. Pranav Santhosh
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Any reason to benching James? I currently have it on digne thinking city are much stronger than arsenal

        1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          The injury. If he is passed fit i would start him.

          Wouldnt wanna bench digne though. City are susceptible defensively as you saw against Norwich last week. And the game is at Goodison.

          1. Pranav Santhosh
            • 7 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Yeah good point about james he might not start this week and will be 50/50 for arsenal. It feels stupid to bench digne given his attacking potential but I feel like the city and norwich result was just an aberration but this Watford game will tell us more about their defence. I might just bench Söyüncü and cop a 6 point loss if he keeps a clean sheet. Thanks for the advice

    8. I Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      How's this WC draft looking?

      Pope (Button)
      Alexander-Arnold, Soyuncu, Tomori (Lundstram, Rico)
      Sterling, De Bruyne, Son, Mount (Dendoncker)
      Aubameyang, Abraham, Pukki

      One consideration is Otamendi and Cantwell over Rico and Mount.

      1. Holmes
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Prefer Wilson over Abraham if possible

      2. Murder On Zidanesfloor
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Wouldnt triple up on Chelsea personally.

        1. I Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          The fixtures are lovely but yeah maybe a defender isn't needed.

      3. TokyoRisingSun
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Don’t bother with Chelsea defenders. They aren’t going to keep many clean sheets.

        1. I Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Might go Otamendi, Aurier and Cantwell over Tomori, Rico and Mount.

          1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            I like the Aurier pick. Might go that way myself.

      4. The Knights Template
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Tomori a risk, as is no Liverpool attack. Good luck.

        1. I Member
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Hoping Son can match them over the next three.

      5. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Sterling Salah might be boring, but it’s a devastating FPL combo

        1. tucaoneo
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Fond memories of last year when Sterling was devastating and not boring!

      6. noquarternt
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        No Liverpool attack is pretty ballsy. Not sure I'd pick a Chelsea defender either.

    9. Sid07

      Guys what changes should I make to short this out
      Pope (Heaton)

        Jota, VVD > Tammy, 5.5

        1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Or wilson.

          1. Murder On Zidanesfloor
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            WIlson + Aurier could be good. If aurier doesnt start you have a decent player in lund/donk on bench, but if aurier starts he has explosive potential.

      2. Respect My Authoritah
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Jota to Tammy
        VVD to Söyüncü

      3. Ini
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Move jota but that’s about it.

      4. noquarternt
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Is Zinchenko about to disappear due to Mendy returning?

    10. Tomas_brolin
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      VVD and Greenwood to Rico and Tammy? (Can’t quote afford C Wilson)

      Or

      VVD to Mendy and upgrade Barnes to Wilson?

      Already have Mount

      1. Max City
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Which one you think will score more at the end of the season, Tammy or C Wilson?

        1. COYS Down Under
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Wilson to outscore Tammy

      2. Respect My Authoritah
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I like the first move

    11. Respect My Authoritah
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Assuming James is passed fit, would you rather:

      A) James ➡️ Mount
      B) Haller ➡️ Tammy
      C) Both for -4
      D) Neither and save a free

      Can see the argument for all 4 routes. Really struggling in this one

      1. Max City
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        What do you mean by "James -> mount", does it mean selling James and buying Mount or the other way around?

        1. Respect My Authoritah
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Yep, selling James and buying Mount. Does an arrow not mean a transfer nowadays?

      2. Tomas_brolin
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        b or d

        I’m a bit wary of double Chelsea attach despite fixtures

        1. Respect My Authoritah
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Hm, any reason why? Scored bucket loads so far - arguably in the top 3/4 attacks in the league.

          1. Tomas_brolin
            • 5 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            True but they’re both young and untested at this level

            Think Lampard will manage them a bit with CL and Giroud as an option. I recall Tammy being inconsistent for me when in my team at Swansea

            1. Respect My Authoritah
              • 10 Years
              4 years, 6 months ago

              Interesting, cheers!

              I quite like the idea of D tbh. The price rises aren't really an issue for me either, so can always get them in at a later stage.

        2. Salah’s Sonnet
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I assumed that at first but so glad i went with both Mount and Tammy, both doing very well.

      3. The Knights Template
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Save

      4. Pukki Blinders

        Cheers all!

        Leaning towards D now 🙂

        May stagger the moves over the next 2-3 weeks to make the most of James and Haller's fixtures.

      6. andres
        • 12 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah so you got to have abraham. B is the minimum in my opinion. Then you wait on the fitness news of both and make the decision closer to the weekend.

        In any case I would do the hit if james was not fit.

        1. Respect My Authoritah
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          He certainly looks the part.

          Haller does play Bournemouth though. I'd certainly be getting Tammy in the next couple of weeks anyway. Does that change your decision at all?

      7. Pranav Santhosh
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I’d go D maybe A. I really rate haller as an fpl option so I wouldn’t make that move. I think james to mount is a good move but I think the saved transfer is more useful

    12. andres

      Kun/ceballos to abraham/son?
      Or any better idea?

      Thanks

      1. Respect My Authoritah
        • 10 Years

        I think those are great moves. Go for it

        1. andres
          • 12 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          I was also considering to sell haller but then To get son i would need to sell either kdb/sterling and keep ceballos...

          So net net probably better to stay with haller

          1. Respect My Authoritah
            • 10 Years
            4 years, 6 months ago

            Definitely. I think you're probably selling Aguero at the perfect time too

    13. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 6 months ago

      Really interested to see how the captaincy options do this weekend:

      - Sterling: lovely fixture but shaky form & 5th start in 2 weeks, not nailed
      - Kun: lovely fixture & well rested, probably nailed
      - Auba: lovely fixture, nailed, but 3rd start in 7 days & the dreaded Europa hangover
      - Mo: difficult-ish fixture, but nearly a weeks rest and nailed
      - Kane: tricky fixture, shortest rest period of all, early kickoff, but obvs nailed & pens

      1. Respect My Authoritah
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Nice summary. Written like that, I'm a bit gutted I didn't go for Salah over Sterling 🙁

      2. Tomas_brolin
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Captained Sterling but only as no Kun and not taking a hit to switch

        Think they’ll all get returns, Kun and Auba to do best

      3. Amey
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I think i have taken a huge risk now as rival captained Raz.
        I have stayed with Mo ©.
        But this is first time this season we have different © 😀
        I actually wouldn't mind Raz benching this gw as Rico is on the bench with nice and tidy 5 points

        1. Whats the Huth
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Sterling would come on for a camo definitely then

      4. noquarternt
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        I wouldn't say Chelsea is a difficult-ish fixture, I'd say its as good as you can get from a goalscoring perspective (along with Arsenal).

        Its good for FPL that there isn't a real standout one though.

        1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          True, Chelsea have been haemorrhaging goals - 11 in 5 and counting - with Mo on pens as well he’s surely going to get big chances

      5. Whats the Huth
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

    14. davies

      4 years, 6 months ago

      Thoughts on downgrading Digne? If so, who to?

      Allows for a significant Dendoncker/Greenwood upgrade...

      1. Respect My Authoritah
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 6 months ago

        Not a fan of that. Most likely going to be in my team for the long haul, unless Everton consistently look sh*te, which I guess isn't too far away if they keep conceding.

      2. Ini
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years

        He’s a season keeper for me. Doubt your upgrade will be better a better FPL option at that price.

        Spurs or Leicester

        I'm doing that tbh.
        If Barnes fails to impress against Norwich i need ££ to upgrade him.
        I have earmarked Soyuncu as replacement

          4 years, 6 months ago

          Thinking about it. Just for a gw or two then rebuy. Danny Rose could be a good short term pick. Still undecided though.

          4 years, 6 months ago

          I guess it's just when cheapies like Rico get points the Digne way it makes Digne look bad. Otherwise random CS for cheapies are really hard to nail.

        • Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 6 months ago

          Yeah don’t do that

          Keep him for the year, he’ll pay it back in spades

          142k rank rise from 7pts shows how meaningless OR is at this stage of the season.

            4 years, 6 months ago

            Absolutely, it does make me feel slightly better at 2.6 mil! 🙂

            1. Pinturicchio10
                4 years, 6 months ago

                Yep wouldn't worry about it. Of course we'd all love to be flying high but the OR's are so tight at this stage.

              • Pinturicchio10
                  4 years, 6 months ago

                  Who did you go with as captain this gw?

                  1. Salah’s Sonnet
                    • 12 Years
                    4 years, 6 months ago

                    Yeah the margins are so minimal, two good GW’s and you’re right back up there then gathers pace.
                    Well, after much mulling, i went with Sterling. Kinda wanted to stick with Salah, but at my rank i thought i’d risk it as Watford are dreadful. Glad in a way, as hardly any of my rivals have captained him.

                    1. Pinturicchio10
                        4 years, 6 months ago

                        Exactly. Experienced managers making solid moves will eventually eat those ranks away. I'd be worried if OR was that low after 15 gw. Maybe even stretch that to half way point of the season.

                        1. Salah’s Sonnet
                          • 12 Years
                          4 years, 6 months ago

                          For sure. Plus thousands have already burnt there chips, it’s like hitting the Nos too early in Fast & Furious haha!
                          Having high ranks at this point is fine, certainly wouldn’t expect to be still that high in 4-5 weeks time.

                          1. Pinturicchio10
                              4 years, 6 months ago

                              No, not at all and yeah those chips go a long way in the early stages. I'm sure there's a handful of sickos who are ranked stupidly high already simply by way of being sickos but few and far between.

                    Yep, had something very similar after 6 Diop points on Monday. Not worried at all. Some people weirdly obsessed with it. Irrelevant until almost Christmas

                    1. Pinturicchio10
                        4 years, 6 months ago

                        Exactly. A big fat number looks ugly but when a handful of points makes that big a difference... pfft. Who cares.

                          I think it's quite fun. Makes it look like a tasty comeback 🙂

                            Yeah
                            Wilson might get into my team this gw 😀

                                Same, i offloaded him in GW 2, but i’m not afraid to crawl back to a player if they improve, which i may do and go back to playing 343

                                1. Amey

                                  Well, 343 is the best call imo.
                                  I'm finding need of 4th striker spot tbh 😀

                                    A 4th striker would be glorious with the choice we have this season, never known so many options in all my time of playing, certainly makes it more fun that’s for sure.
                                    Reckon 343 is definitely the way to go.

                                            I did some data analysis of defensives for my WC. It did include GW6, so slightly out of date now, but the top 6 defences for the next 6 weeks were:

                                            (Best to worst):
                                            LEI

                                                Interesting stuff. Spurs and Wolves surprise me there although their form hasn't been great. Appealing fixtures though.

                                        TAA Digne Lundstram Montoya KWP*
                                        Salah KDB Cantwell Mount Mcginn
                                        Aguero Pukki Barnes

                                        Thinking KDB to Son (C). Defence is a bit weak, but thinking Son will definitely haul next GW, so best to hold defensive changes for the week after ?

                                          I'd probably fix the defence before selling KDB

                                        Consistency of callum is impeccable.

                                        No one's considering?

                                          Kun > Wilson (C) serious consideration for me this week

                                          Certainly considering, even though he has been extremely fortuitous with some returns he’s had.

                                          If you saw the game yesterday you probably wouldn't be considering him

                                            I didn't. Was he not playing we?

                                            He didn't get enough service. Always had the hunger & the commitment.

                                          Had him all last year at 6.0 & there were a few frustrating times (mostly when fitness issues kicked in)

                                          There will be more at 7.8

                                          But generally he’s following the same pattern of when he plays he returns so fair play to him

                                            I never had the luck to enjoy his returns last year. Was a massive troll for me.

                                            If Sterling is back to his best this week, Barnes > Wilson funded by maybe Digne downgrade or Salah > Mane

                                            If Sterling blanks but Kun is the MCY asset to have, A looks good

                                          When do u expect Rico to lose his spot in the first team?

                                          Chances James starts? Have Rico first on the bench so worst case scenario would be a late cameo

                                          For those with Salah, Sterling, Kdb and looking for a way to bring in Son, are you:

                                          A) get Son as a replacement for one of the above. If so, which one?

                                          B) downgrade elsewhere and end up with al four of them

                                            I did Raheem to Son

                                            me personally I’m happy to avoid son for now but if I had to pick I would go A. I think dropping Salah/sterling is the way to go which gives you 3 mill to put into a 3rd striker if you don’t have one. Based on fixtures I’d drop Salah and rotate captaincy between son and sterling. I think KDB value is too good to drop even if you don’t plan on captaining him

                                            Think Id drop Raheeeem

                                            B is not for me coz Mount and Cantwell seem untouchable given their prices. Salah > Firmino could offer you cash and *some* damage control.

                                          A) Sterling + Martial OR
                                          B) KDB + Son

                                          Would be only One city attacker in both cases

                                            Has to be A presuming he outscores KDB in GW6. But Martial is weak

                                          Having Son (SOT) captain next GW I want him to do well today but not too well so the masses descend.

                                            Haller > Abraham looks the easiest. Haller has bou next though so not ideal. i think you'll need hits

                                          Just realised Sterling and Aguero are the same price now. Damn.

                                              Sterling motored ahead up to 12.3 and then dropped back to 12.2 yesterday. Aguero up to 12.2. today.

                                              Would be very interesting to see what happens if Sterling hauls and Aguero is benched today. Or the opposite.

                                          Shows you how fine the margins are points wise. No hits for GW6 though.
