My GW6 Fantasy Squad Reveal
Yes, I’m factoring in the long break, the injuries and the fact that a certain former champion’s morale might be shattered to bits ahead of GW6.
I’m searching, mostly, for deals, but also players that can’t be avoided because of their sheer consistency.
I’m playing a 5-4-1, although I think that a 4-4-2 might suit you just fine as well.
| Position | Player Name | Club | Card Tier | Why Included for GW7 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GK | Kjel Scherpen | Ipswich Town | 2★ – Free w/ lease | Underrated goalie with a good fixture against Fulham ahead of him |
| DEF 1 | Thomas Bobby | Coventry | 1★ – Free | His star is finally on the rise, and he’s making the best of the opportunity |
| DEF 2 | Lisandro Martinez | Man. United | 3★ | Will do well against Spurs, provided he doesn’t get a red card or score an own goal. |
| DEF 3 | Jannik Schuster | Brentford | 1★ – Free | New product of the “Brentford Scouting Machine.” Should do fine in GW7 |
| DEF 4 | Jurrien Timber | Arsenal | 3★ | Playing Leeds should allow the Dutchman good opportunities on the flank and, likely, a clean sheet bonus |
| DEF 5 | Virgil van Dijk | Liverpool | 5★ | Will step out in what could be a famous match against Manchester City |
| MID 1 | Lewis Hall | Newcastle | 2★ – Free w/ lease | Near his top potential. Affordable. Good opportunity against Coventry |
| MID 2 | Declan Rice | Arsenal | 5★ | Rice is a passing machine, and playing Leeds is the right match for his skills |
| MID 3 | Harvey Barnes | Newcastle | 2★ – Free w/ lease | His form was declining last season. He’s back. He should use the good chance he has against GW6. |
| MID 4 | Bruno Fernandes | Man. United | 5★ | Will play Spurs. Eager to get away from the CR7 shadow. Worth picking |
| FW | Viktor Gyokeres | Arsenal | 3★ | He’s not a skilled striker. He’s a striker who puts the ball in the net. This Leeds game is just what he needs, especially considering his recent form |
| AM | Wayne Rooney | Retired AM | 5★ | A 5* Assistant Manager is a must-have |
3 Must-Have “Sleeper Picks” for GW6
- Eberechi Eze (Midfielder Magician Needing a Break) – Eze is a fantastic midfielder who is just getting muscled out by Arsenal’s considerable talent. Eze should really take advantage of the opportunity as he is likely to start.
- Igor Thiago (Underrated Striker in an Underrated Team) – Fantastic striker who is usually in form playing for a team with a real direction. Villa won’t be easy to break down, but Thiago could still score in this one.
- Carl Rushworth (Future Great Goalkeeper) – Rushworth is proving to be a safe pair of hands even at EPL level. Meanwhile, Newcastle’s attack still has a way to go before reaching the levels of last year. This is a good, budget-friendly pick.
