FPL Gameweek 6 Tips: Who will be the standout choice Haaland or Rashford? 2024-25 Premier League

As we approach Gameweek 6 of the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) season, it’s time to strategize and build on the early form of the season. This FPL Gameweek 6 presents several exciting matchups that could be ripe for FPL points. 

FPL Gameweek 6: Matches to Target

Newcastle United vs Manchester City

This heavyweight clash promises excitement. Manchester City’s dominance is well-known, but Newcastle’s resilience at home could make it a closer contest. Erling Haaland remains a standout choice, while Newcastle’s Kieran Trippier and Callum Wilson could also provide valuable returns.

Arsenal vs Leicester City

Arsenal’s attacking force, led by Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Jesus, should thrive against a Leicester side that has struggled defensively. Leicester have conceded the most headed attempts in the league so far, so expect Arsenal’s set-piece takers and centre-backs like Gabriel Magalhaes to be dangerous.

Chelsea vs Brighton

Chelsea are in good form, and Brighton have been leaking goals this season. Nicolas Jackson and Cole Palmer are exciting FPL options, with their high involvement in Chelsea’s attack. Brighton will look to counter, and Kaoru Mitoma could still pose a threat despite Chelsea’s recent resurgence.

Wolves vs Liverpool

Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah is once again an excellent captaincy shout against a Wolves defense that has struggled. Liverpool have also been creative from full-back, making Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andrew Robertson strong picks. Wolves, meanwhile, may find themselves chasing the game.

Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur

Spurs’ attacking revolution under Ange Postecoglou continues, with Son Heung-min and James Maddison pulling the strings. Manchester United, while defensively shaky, could still produce goals through Bruno Fernandes or Marcus Rashford. This could be a high-scoring affair, and both sets of attackers will be key.

FPL Gameweek 6: Players to Target

Goalkeepers

  1. David Raya (Arsenal) – 5.6m
    Arsenal’s clean sheet potential is strong at home to Leicester, who have been poor going forward. Raya’s inclusion ensures save points are also possible.
  2. Alphonse Areola (West Ham) – 4.5m
    Areola has been a popular budget option this season. West Ham’s defense has been solid, and their fixture against a struggling opponent could see them secure a clean sheet. Areola’s price allows flexibility to strengthen other areas of your team.

Defenders

  1. Kieran Trippier (Newcastle) – 5.7m
    Although facing Manchester City, Trippier’s set-piece ability and attacking threat make him a viable option. Newcastle’s defense can hold firm at home, and Trippier’s crosses and creativity will always be a factor.
  2. Gabriel Magalhaes (Arsenal) – 6.1m
    Arsenal’s Brazilian centre-back is a threat from set-pieces against Leicester’s leaky defense. A clean sheet and goal potential make him a top pick for Gameweek 6.
  3. Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool) – 7.1m
    Liverpool face Wolves, who are struggling to score. TAA’s creativity and set-piece responsibilities make him a potential double-return option with both assists and clean sheet potential.

Midfielders

  1. Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) – 12.8m
    Salah is in great form, and his fixture against Wolves makes him the standout pick. He’s always reliable for returns and is a prime captaincy contender for Gameweek 6.
  2. Bukayo Saka (Arsenal) – 10.0m
    The Arsenal winger continues to deliver consistently. With Leicester’s poor defensive record, Saka is a must-have for managers looking to secure attacking returns.
  3. Phil Foden (Man City) – 9.3m
    Foden is expected to start and will be crucial for City’s attack. His creativity and ability to break down Newcastle’s defense make him a differential with a high ceiling.

Forwards

  1. Erling Haaland (Man City) – 15.3m
    Haaland remains the most dangerous forward in the Premier League, even against tough opposition. He’s a fixture-proof asset, and a must-have captaincy option every week.
  2. Nicolas Jackson (Chelsea) – 7.7m
    Chelsea’s young striker is hitting form under Enzo Maresca and is facing a Brighton side vulnerable to conceding goals. Jackson’s ability to get on the end of crosses and his positioning make him a great value pick.
  3. Kai Havertz (Arsenal) – 8.0m
    Kai Havertz has been quietly productive for Arsenal. His movement and clinical finishing could exploit Leicester’s weak defense, making him a fantastic differential pick.

FPL Gameweek 6 Captains to Target

  1. Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) Salah faces Wolves in a game where Liverpool are likely to dominate possession. His involvement in nearly all of Liverpool’s attacking play makes him the safest captain pick.
  2. Erling Haaland (Manchester City) Haaland’s fixture-proof ability means he can score against any team. Newcastle’s defense hasn’t been as solid this season, and Haaland will be looking to add to his goal tally.
  3. Bukayo Saka (Arsenal) Against Leicester, Saka will be on penalties and set-pieces, ensuring his involvement in Arsenal’s attacks. He’s a reliable captaincy choice for those seeking a solid performer.
  4. Nicolas Jackson (Chelsea) Jackson’s form, combined with Brighton’s defensive frailties, could lead to a fruitful day for Chelsea. He’s an excellent differential captain option for those chasing big points.

With the fixtures and players outlined, it’s time to finalize your squad and prepare for FPL Gameweek 6. Stay updated on team news, and be prepared for any last-minute changes. Good luck, FPL managers!
