From Scout Picks and team news to team reveals and chip strategy guides, all our content and tips for Fantasy Premier League (FPL) Gameweek 6 will appear here.
There’s a huge wait before we get to the next Gameweek, of course! A bumper international break, in which some countries are contesting four matches, means that there is a three-week gap between Gameweeks 5 and 6.
Expect a deluge of yellow flags to appear, then, as knocks, niggles and maybe even some actual injuries force players to withdraw from their national team squads…
A lot of Fantasy managers will be using the downtime to play their first Wildcard in 2026/27. That could come in handy if we do indeed witness the usual wave of knocks and niggles.
For the rest of us, it’s a case of keeping fingers crossed and hoping our jet-setting players return unscathed ahead of Gameweek 6.
When the action does return, we’ve got a juicy Liverpool v Manchester City fixture to look forward to, plus more favourable fixtures for Everton, Newcastle United and Nottingham Forest. Fulham, meanwhile, kick off a run of three consecutive games in which they face newly promoted opposition.
Whatever your selection headaches, transfer dilemmas, chip-related conundrums and captaincy quandaries, make sure to keep checking back here for the latest articles ahead of the FPL deadline on Saturday 10 October at 11am BST.
To get access to everything we do, from expert team reveals to data-driven Members articles, remember to sign up today to become a Chief Scout.
There’s also a free trial to take advantage of over the break!
