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.

      I went Kudus but I already have Grealish (and KDH and on the bench, Everton overload!).
      Ndiaye’s done very well this season, great option.

      I've also gone Kudus but Ndiaye also great option. Kudus just fit in better to my WC team price point wise. My other mids are Bruno, Caicedo, Semenyo, with KDH on bench.

      Saka and Fernandes vs Stach and Salah. I could move to a 5.0 and Salah at any point after 7 for Saka and Fernandes. Stach will probably rise in price before then but I'd say Fernandes or Saka could get a double rise in the same time period. I just like the idea of having Salah when others don't but it is Crystal Palace and Chelsea they are tough games surely if there's any 2 games to go against it's now

      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)

              1 would be better, long-term, if Lego Hair took the handbrake off. You'd hope/assume Eze would nail down a start.
              So, it's 2 for me. Shirley, it's Richy's spot to lose.
              I'm tempted by PBR on WC6. Then get Gyok/Ars attacker later when the best option is clearer.
