Fantasy Football Premier League is not quite what you expected this season, is it? Still, moves really fast these days and, as any pro EPL player will tell you, the fixtures are coming thick and fast. Who are the players able to maintain the required rhythm? Who are the ones worth avoiding because of surprising changes to their form?
Once again, I’ve got you covered. Ahead of Round 6, these are some of the players that, reasonable thinking would suggest, will improve your fantasy football squad.

These Are the Players You Need for Fantasy Football in the English Premier League for Round 6
When it comes to goalkeepers, now is not the time to spend big for top results. Nah, experienced goalies with plenty of work to do are scoring excellently.
Martin Dubravka has impressed for Burnley. And while you wouldn’t bank on him keeping a clean sheet against Manchester City, that might not matter.
If you are looking for that, on the other hand, Matz Sels might just be your guy as Nottingham Forest take on Sunderland at home.
Defence-wise, you can always game the system by figuring out which wing-backs are likely to cross for an assist or score themselves. Reece James, William Saliba, Nordi Mukiele are good candidates.
Meanwhile, Nikola Milenkovic and Virgil van Dijk are world-class central defenders playing at their best.
Midfielder maestros like Bruno Fernandes are few, but worth picking. Meanwhile, you’ll want to look for dependable tacklers and excellent short passers like Declan Rice or Idrissa Gueye. And, if you’re searching for a budget-friendly, free-to-pick in FootballCoin midfielder, Neco Williams or Yasin Ayari might just be what you’re looking for.
Alright, alright. But what about the goals? Aren’t those what win you fantasy football leagues and contests? Yes, and no. What is clear is that Fulham’s Harry Wilson is a good budget choice as he faces the Aston Villa defence in Round 6.
Richarlison, I reckon, would be a mid-tier choice, as the Brazilian looks to take advantage of Wolverhampton’s very poor form. And if you’re looking for star power, Erling Haaland is, I think, just what you’re looking for.
The Players You Need to Avoid in Round 6
Liverpool has won every single game this EPL season. Convincingly? Not exactly. Might be worth holding off picking Mohamed Salah for the time being, or the still-to-be-integrated Alexander Isak.
Manchester United fans have praised the level of involvement of Luke Shaw and Harry Maguire in the match against Chelsea. But Brentford nearly always seems to find a way around these defenders.
And, I’m convinced, I wouldn’t be able to convince you to pick players like Wolves’ Ladislas Krejci, Villa’s John McGinn, or West Ham’s Callum Wilson at the moment. Ah, remember when Nicklas Fullkrug was banging goals for Germany at the Euros? Feels like a lifetime ago.
