Tips

The Complete Guide to Scout’s tips and advice for FPL Gameweek 6

Welcome to the Fantasy Football Scout Guide to Gameweek 6. It’s the first Friday deadline of the season – you have until 18:30 BST to ready the troops!

Who to captain?

This week Jan Sienkiewicz, our sage of the armband, recommends Sadio Mané (£11.9m), Mohamed Salah (£12.3m) and Raheem Sterling (£11.6m) in his Captain Sensible article. Risk-taking often factors into our decision-making process, and in terms of popularity Salah is the safest pick:

“Backed by over 66% of our voters combined, Salah and Kane seem to be the safe choices for Gameweek 6, the heavily-backed Egyptian the safest of the two.”

– Jan

In the latest edition of The Review, BigManBakar also tips Salah ahead of an enticing encounter against Sheffield United:

He’s on penalties playing for a team that has the best xG this season. According to the bookies, Salah has the best odds of scoring a goal and Liverpool are the most likely team this Gameweek to score 2.5+ goals. No player in the league has recorded more shots in the box this season.

– BigManBakar

Meanwhile David, who returned to the Captain Video after successfully transferring out a wisdom tooth last week, brought more good news for those considering a Liverpool player. Pointing out the impact the now-departed Dean Henderson (£5.4m) had on the Blades’ defence, he noted:

Sheffield United last season, for all the clean sheets they kept, I think a lot of people … would have assumed their xGC (expected goals conceded) was often quite good, but actually it really wasn’t. They would give up lots of Big Chances, but Dean Henderson had the second-best xG Prevented in the whole division last year, i.e. he was making incredible saves to keep Sheffield United in games.

– David

And if you prefer a differential option – a tactic last week’s Meet the Manager guest Graeme Sumner advocates – Neale was on hand with a tasty stat in his Big Numbers piece.

79.4 minutes per expected goal involvement (xGI) recorded by Sadio Mane, the best figure in the division from any player who has started at least one Premier League match this season.

– Neale

At under 10 per cent ownership, the Senegalese could be the better option for those willing to move away from Salah.

High opportunity cost

With so many players performing well this year it’s impossible to have them all. One strategy is to switch between the premium assets for their best fixtures, to give yourself the best captain candidates. 

But, as Greyhead has found out this season, you will have to accept the high opportunity cost.

The Community scribe sold Jamie Vardy (£10.0m) before his unexpected Gameweek 3 hat-trick away to Manchester City, he then ditched a potentially-injured Son Heung-min (£9.4m) ahead of his brace in Gameweek 4, and even his Gameweek 5 transfer-out Che Adams (£5.8m) returned 11 points after leaving his team.

The topic was raised on this week’s Scoutcast, with all three of Joe, Az, and Lee holding differing opinions on how to deal with the season. Az in particular was against switching out expensive players:

I think you can build a team with these premiums and you don’t need to worry about switching them out every week to try and catch different ones, because we’ve seen how much that can hurt people.

– Az

Instead, Az prefers to identify blocks of fixtures rather than transferring out a player because he blanked. 

Pro Pundit Simon March offered a different perspective on opportunity cost when discussing loss aversion, a cognitive bias that describes our tendency to fear losses more than we value gains.

Arguably the number one source of anxiety among Fantasy managers comes from transferring a player out who you suspect might suddenly start scoring, something that always seems to happen.

– Simon

Citing Timo Werner’s (£9.3m) haul against Southampton’s high-line defence, Simon explained that “one of the key skill elements of FPL is identifying the contextual factors that influence whether a player will score or not.

Essentially, judge the decision not the outcome. Simon concluded:

Most importantly, although it might feel like it, a player did not start scoring because you transferred them out. That kind of ‘magical thinking’ can quickly sabotage a Fantasy manager’s season as it removes logic and objectivity and puts events firmly into the hands of chance.

– Simon

And fellow Pro Pundit Lateriser doesn’t expect the rollercoaster of a season to stop any time soon.

This season, variance is a lot higher than usual and I expect that trend to continue. Be prepared for it and remember that this is only a game, one which involves a fair amount of luck and unpredictability as well.

– Lateriser

Value Villains 

Several contributors have noted the value on offer in Aston Villa’s ranks, who have surprised us all with their excellent start.

Now is a good time to invest in [Villa] from an attacking standpoint. When it comes to their attackers, I get the feeling that you will get what you pay for. Jack Grealish (£7.2m), Ross Barkley (£6.0m) and Ollie Watkins (£6.0m) are all correctly priced in my opinion and could be good stick-and-forget options for a while.

– Lateriser

In his Scout Notes from Gameweek 5, David Wardale, the author of Wasting Your Wildcard, revealed that Grealish was the most advanced Aston Villa player against Leicester City. While Az also recommends the Villa talisman:

Looking at the numbers, Grealish seems the stand-out option. Turning attention to Mark’s “Top Penalty Box Dweller” table in the Premium Members Area also shows that no player in the league can better the number of touches that Grealish has had in the opposition box (38) over the last four Gameweeks.

– Az

Referring once more to Neale’s stat-dive article, we find that Dean Smith’s men could be set for more immediate returns:

2.8 direct attacks per game recorded by Aston Villa this season, the highest number in the Premier League. Leeds United, Villa’s opponents on Friday, have had the most direct attacks against per game so far this term (4.0). A direct attack is one that starts just inside a team’s own half, has at least 50% of movement towards the opposition goal and ends with a shot or touch in the opponent’s box. Aston Villa ranked 16th for this statistic last season (1.4).

– Neale

A change in attacking style this season that looks set to reap rewards again in Gameweek 5.

Are Premium Defenders Worth the Money?

– the black circles represent the defenders priced £5.5m and over

Lateriser is considering selling Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.5m), Magnus Carlsen has sold Trent Alexander-Arnold, and BigManBakar’s research finds that “Andrew Robertson (£7.1m) is beating Trent in almost every single underlying stat that matters – not only this season but post restart”.

The graphic above is taken from FPL Ted’s video analysing premium defenders. Alexander-Arnold stands out with nine shots and nine chances created, which would suggest attacking returns are imminent. But perhaps the numbers aren’t as impressive as they first appear:

Alexander-Arnold seems to have monopolised direct free-kicks, which may explain why all nine of goal attempts have been small chances.

– FPL Ted

Neale, too, paints a less-than-ideal picture of the Liverpool full-back:

50 minutes per chance created by Trent Alexander-Arnold this season, still a very reasonable figure but down on last season’s average of 37. His average number of crosses per match has dropped from 10.1 to 7.4, in no small part thanks to his rate of corner-kicks dipping (4.3 to 2.6); Robertson, indeed, has delivered more of those than the Liverpool right-back in 2020/21.

– Neale

Will he be making way in your team this week?

Finally, before confirming your starting line-up, don’t forget to check the latest Team News and Predicted Line-ups. In case you missed it, James Rodriguez (£8.0m) may make a miraculous recovery for Sunday’s game!

Community latest

Earlier today, the Best of the Community feature included a tactical analysis from Kroos Kontrol, a ‘keeper evaluation from El Estadístico, and Jaydutt’s list of potential transfer traps ahead of the weekend’s fixtures.

And finally, for those interested in the Head-to-Head Leagues, the main page can be linked to here. The fixtures for Gameweek 6 can be found below:

Use the drop-down menus to show your league and division. To find out which league and division you are in, follow the instructions on the main Head-to-Head page.

Once the Gameweek starts, if you click on your opponent’s name you will be linked to their team on the FPL website.

May your arrows be green!

    1. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I'm expecting an open game and a goalfest. Which probably means 0-0 or the dreaded 1-1 with low ownership players scoring.

      That's nothing I forgot GW 38 deadline last year, also with 2 FT 🙁

  5. Forever In Our Shadow

    Who just wasted their Wc?

    1. Pep bites Kun
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Just? Wasted it weeks ago 😉

  6. FPL_trail_runner

    Score predictions so ?

    Villa 0 leeds 1 / could easily be a 0-0
    Westham 1 City 2
    Wolves 1 New 0
    United 2 chelsea 1
    Liverpool 2 shu 0
    Burnley 1 Spurs 1
    Brighton 2 WBA 2
    Fulham 1 cry 0
    Arsenal 1 Leicester 2
    Soton 1 Everton 1

    1. 1zverGGadeM
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      no team to score 3 goals is unusual these days

      1. FPL_trail_runner
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Yes , i think it regresses this weekend

        All teams are over-performing their xG pretty much.

        1. Amey
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          XG is BS then

          1. Pep bites Kun
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Amen

          2. FPL_trail_runner
            • 3 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            Its the best longterm predictive data

            Always correlates very well longterm with results

            Players in the short term can overachieve

            It hapended last year with Pukki

    2. Bagheri Arce
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Not this anyway 😉 (no offence)

      Surely one of the teams scores 3 goals this week. Scores have been crazy so far this season

  7. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    No players tonight, I guess I want both teams to concede and irrelvants to score. Mings goal, and some Leeds guy to score. And give out plenty of yellows in the process

    1. FPL_trail_runner
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Mings has decent ownership

      Especially those doing well.

      1. have you seen cyan
        • 4 Years

        oh ok then cash money

    2. Forever In Our Shadow

      • 10 Years

      You’re wishing mate.

  8. F_Ivanovic
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    First time this season I've made a transfer decision based on fear and have some regret. Took a hit to bring in Kane for Jimenez. Just feels like something that could easily backfire. My main concern was that if Kane does do well again I'd probably have to make an early transfer to then get him in.

    1. Forever In Our Shadow
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Long term it’s a good decision.

    2. FPL_trail_runner
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      He will do well

      But its ok to go without also. I basically have Sterling over Kane

      We cant have them all.

    3. Gentle_Turks
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yes could easily backfire.

    4. Big_Bear
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      As a Jiminez captainer I'm not sure why everyone is getting rid!

  9. Brosstan

    Paying a fair chunk of my yearly income on this place and they can't even give me a phone call or at least an email telling me there's an early deadline...

    With Martinez and Ayling, I'm looking for a 0-0 or Ayling goal involvement. Fun stuff.

    1. 1zverGGadeM
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      and a Martinez pen save at least, dont ya 😀

  11. Lucky Z
    • 6 Years

    Was busy today - James changed to 75% - any update?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Apparently Carlo is not speaking English very well

  12. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Thinking about 2021 squad. With VDV out surely a price drop is imminent so he will be 5.5m or so. is he a must then? so double up in defense or ?

    1. F_Ivanovic
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      uh what? lol

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Would you buy him at 5.5m? Potential season keeper at that price?

    2. diesel001
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Why would his price drop because he is injured? He will be £6.0m at lowest.

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        KDB price dropped significantly. He is 11.5 now and after that injury season he was 9.5 or 9?

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

          Was he 11.5 before the injury season?

          Poor post

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

        He means next seasob

    3. Lucky Z
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Corona does not teach people not to look so far

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        long term players are the winners imo

        1. Lucky Z
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Thinking now about what can happen half of a year ahead has nothing to do with "long term" thinking as far as you cannot impact it. Just a waste of time.

    4. Long ago I drew a walrus
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      5.5m is a bargain for Van der Vaart. Who would he play for though, Spurs again?

    5. Right In The Stanchion

      Where’d you get your weed from bro??

      I think you guys win tonight.

      1. FPL Daniel

        I see these kind of moments as a win win . if your team wins you are happy if your fpl assets deliver and your team loses again it is a win. enjoy the game

      don't worry mate, your fantasy team is in for a great start 😉

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

        Not a real birmingham fan then

    3. F_Ivanovic
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      So you'll be wanting a 4-3 to Leeds with your attackers scoring and Martinez (i presume) to save a penalty? 🙂

      1. Dash444
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I have Martinez, Grealish and Watkins

    4. Dash444
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Worst case scenario 1-0 win to villa , McGinn goal Trezuget assist.......I officially predict this will happen.

      1. Dash444
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Sorry 2-1 would be worse!

    5. beric
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      As a birmingham fan with grealish i feel dirty

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

        Not a true fan if u have grealish

    Brought Kane in for Jimi for a -4 and gave him the armband! Could come back to bite me! Ha ha. Good luck everyone!

    1. Big_Bear
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Haha I'm hoping he does (as selfishly I'm an Jimi captainer).

      1. Will J 256
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        We will see! Good luck to Jimenez. Bold choice!

    2. Pep bites Kun
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I was close - it's a tough call - bol!

  15. Big_Bear
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Jiminez captainers unite!

    I think I might regret my choice all ready......

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

      Jim captain is basic fpl error

      1. Big_Bear
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        What's worse is it's the 2nd time I've captained him this season (got 2 points the first time).

        The reason is I've already tilted as no one in my cash mini league has Jimi above me and all have Salah and Kane (who were my other 2 candidates).

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Great call. Him scoring written in the starts over all of the sellers.

      1. Big_Bear
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Thanks! Hopefully its as good as Sons 4 goals against the sellers #wishfulthinking

    3. skodaole2
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Kept him and Mitro for the good fixtures, Jimenez paid off last week, i really hope he continues. Good luck with the captaincy!

      1. Big_Bear
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers. I've still got Mitro too. Fingers crossed its a sellers nightmare!

    4. Dash444
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Could get a brace...good luck (he’s in my team)

    People forgetting about the deadline, why do you leave transfers until the last 30 minutes anyway?

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      it's called life you know 😉

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

        You've made the game a lil part of your life by playing. If u can't take out 5-10 minutes at an earlier time for this then you have no right to complain about missing deadline. If it happens once its fine even twice ill say okay it happens but when its the 6th gameweek it shouldn't be happening

    2. Deulofail
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Because I wanted team news and have a life

      1. Nimby
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        People who say they have a life is so lame. As if everyone else doesn't.

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

          Yeah its weird. U don't have to make it sound like you're better than everyone else just because u forgot

          1. Deulofail
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            It's a good reason though!

            Perhaps you would prefer: "Because life happened"

            1. Napoleon IV
              • 6 Years
              3 years, 5 months ago

              it is a good reason, but what I don't understand is when those people then come on here and moan about it.

              1. Deulofail
                • 8 Years
                3 years, 5 months ago

                😆 I don't understand why you're moaning about the moaning!

                1. Napoleon IV
                  • 6 Years
                  3 years, 5 months ago

                  I wasn't, I was just saying I didn't understand it.

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

              Okay but i want to help u now. Please set a reminder 30 minutes before deadline for next week.

              1. Deulofail
                • 8 Years
                3 years, 5 months ago

                Thanks for your advice 🙂

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

                  I wasn't being sarcastic or anything btw. I really dont want u to miss the deadline again.

    3. 1zverGGadeM
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      This is why Im making the transfers during the previous gw lol

  17. FPL Blow-In
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Double Villa defence tonight... I’m worried.

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah, didn't fancy the double up. Did you go with Konsa? Might get his head on something from a set piece.

      1. DycheDycheBaby
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Same here! Got Konsa and Martinez. And then Grealish

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Alright stop! Collaborate and listen

          1. FPL Blow-In
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            I got Martinez and Mings!

  18. Kitchen Sink
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Why was the deadline not 1 hour before the game like usual? Is this going to be a regular occurence this season? I specifically looked at the kick off time for Villa vs Leeds tonight and gave myself 30 minutes to transfer someone in for Greenwood 😀

    1. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Has been 90 minutes all season...

      1. FPL Daniel
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        someone snitched on us that we get some early lineups and they changed.

      2. Kitchen Sink
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Oh wow I genuinely hadn't realised! I feel silly. But thankfully I now know before the midweek deadlines and gameweeks. Cheers all and good luck!

    2. FPL Blow-In
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Has been 90 since gw1

    3. The Polymath
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yep 90 minutes all season

  19. Scout15
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Quick question:
    A) Grealish + Keane
    B) Barkley + Digne

    1. Scout15
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Never mind, thought deadline is in 15min

    2. Lev Yashin
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Quick as in DeLorean 88mph quick?

  20. dunas_dog
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Didn’t realise game PPV tonight- thought Friday night game would have been available on Sky without paying an extra £15.

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      yeah it is ppw

    2. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Yeah last yeah they were shown and obviously free per subs - takes the absolute......

  21. Shark Team
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Resisted to last minute temptation of moving the armband from Kane to Salah

  22. Deulofail
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Oh noooooooo. I missed the deadline for 2 weeks in a row! I still have Martial and KDB. I was going to get Bale and Aguero. 2FTs wasted. Noooooooooooo

    1. Amey
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      You gotta be kidding

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

      Why did u wait till the absolutely last minute anyways?

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Spent the day negotiating with my housemate to try and make him allow me to be able to use the living room and all the kitchenware, etc.

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

          Sounds like u need to give ur housemate a lil slap 😛

          1. Deulofail
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 5 months ago

            He deserves worse than what I'm giving him, that's for sure

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

      Do u also have mitrovic and bamford? U sound like a casual

    4. Right In The Stanchion
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Delete it pal. That’s kill me

    5. Superflymonk
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      in the same boat.This one and a half hour thing is going to take time to get used to.

    6. have you seen cyan
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      KDB will probably feature, is Martial injured? IDK even
      Why do you want Bale? Ugly moves anyway

      1. Deulofail
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Martial suspended. Last week I was considering Kane and Son for free. This week I was considering something else because I miss out last week!

    7. Who are all Lukakus
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      KDB may outscore both Aguero and Bale. Don't feel too bad

    8. Dash444
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Keeping KDB might be a master stroke and I can guarantee first on your bench is going to haul and replace Martial.

      1. Dash444
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Ps...who’s first on your bench?

        1. Deulofail
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Mitchell, Brewster, Martial.

          I also have Greenwood in the XI :/

      2. Nimby
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        West Ham will beat man city. Trust.

  23. Superflymonk
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Wow, first time in over 3 seasons I've forgotten about the deadline transfer. I had it in my mind it was an hour before kick-off. This truly will not be my season. Was going to do Barnes to Mane. This totally sucks! Can't remember who I left the captaincy on. The way I set up the bus team on Saturday is as it is.

    1. 1zverGGadeM
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      You are an well setled person then so dont worry about that 😉

    2. Dash444
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      The irony might be you have the best score ever!!

  24. Lev Yashin
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Deadline?

    What deadline?

    1. Baps hunter
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Line which couldn't be crossed without death to communists. Our national border in WW2.

  25. Right In The Stanchion
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Left Ayling on the bench and sold Bamford. Fully expecting a villa win here.

    1. FPL_trail_runner
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Perfect game for Biesla masterclass.

      Villa are overperforming their underlying data. Most overpeforming team in the league this year for goals scored and points achieved

  26. Champions League Varane
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Come on Grealish and double Liverpool defense!!

    1. Champions League Varane
      • 5 Years

      Villa*

  27. Drop Dead Tsimikas

    I brought JRod in for a -4 earlier in the week. You're welcome. FML.

    1. OPTA FPL
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I sold by -4

  28. FPL_trail_runner

    Go on then

    Top points scorer this week prediction

    Regretting having Steer as my second keeper now. Looking at Grealish/Barkley and Targett/Konsa to add to Martinez
