With Gameweek 6 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) nearing, our pundits are starting to finalise their teams ahead of Saturday’s deadline.

FPL General, who has three top 500 finishes to his name, is fully committed to going without Mohamed Salah (£14.5m) and Erling Haaland (£14.3m) this season. He shares his Gameweek 6 team thoughts here…

GAMEWEEK 5 REVIEW

Gameweek 6 FPL General

I deployed the Bench Boost in Gameweek 5, which resulted in a rise from 6.5m to 5.2m. Hopefully it’s the beginning of an extended run of green arrows! 

Realistically, the bench would have been Martin Dubravka (£4.0m), Marc Cucurella (£6.2m), Pedro Porro (£5.6m) and Tijani Reijnders (£5.7m) for a combined score of 14 points. That’s probably my best ever Bench Boost, which doesn’t say much! It’s nice to have it out of the way now. I will gradually move funds from the bench picks to the starting XI over the coming weeks. 

With a lack of standout captaincy options in my squad, the armband ended up on Antoine Semenyo (£7.7m) at home to Newcastle. I fancied Bournemouth to win that game with Eddie Howe’s team having played Barcelona on the Thursday night, but it wasn’t to be. He didn’t get any attacking returns but the DefCon points were very sweet. Viable captains will be the focus of my next few free transfers.

That’s the second time in five Gameweeks that all three forwards have blanked. It should never happen; they’re paid to score goals!

I’m not concerned about Joao Pedro (£7.8m). Arsenal’s fixtures improve very soon, too, which should see Viktor Gyokeres (£9.0m) be more productive. Chris Wood (£7.5m) is the major concern. He hasn’t lasted more than 74 minutes in each of his last three appearances. Ange Postecoglu has really good alternatives up front, Igor Jesus (£5.8m) in particular. I’m possibly benching Wood this week, then looking to sell in Gameweek 7 or 8. 

Having included Mohammed Kudus (£6.6m) on my Gameweek 3 Wildcard, it was good to finally get some returns from him. Spurs face Wolves (home), Leeds (away) and Aston Villa (home) in their next three games. Kudus could be sticking around for a while.

      A. Xhaka

          I'm not sure how you could come to that conclusion.
          Xhaka is a proven premier league player, with way more goals and assists at this level as compared to Stach. 9 returns in 33 bundesliga appearances last season compared to 3 from 30 for Stach.
          As an eight attacker Xhaka is better by far (particularly either your GW 8 plans)

            Agree if your sole aim is creating team value

            Personally I go after pts

              Obviously my sole aim is not just creating value.

              Value can really help though. In my 18 year experience, it can really make a difference towards the end of the season.

              I do go for points too though, currently 248k overall.

                My pt was more wait and see how Kudus and Gakpo score before deciding whether it’s a great success or not

              Definitely wasn't, but that's the risk we take by leaving it late, I guess. I'm on Gakpo to Xavi (punting on going against the Kudus crowd) and it now leaves me 0.1 short on a bench fodder forward upgrade for BB.

            Very good point. But, I am very disappointed with Newcastle attacking play this season. Doesn't seem ot have enough creativity in the MF.

          Of those options I like Kudus, I have him, seems good value. Bruno could be good too.
