The Scout triples up on Manchester City in the best team for Gameweek 6 of Fantasy Premier League.

A home encounter with Burnley earns centre-back Josko Gvardiol (£5.8m) a place alongside the resurgent Phil Foden (£8.0m) and the prolific Erling Haaland (£14.3m).

Norwegian Haaland is handed the armband on the back of his six goals across the first five Gameweeks, while Bruno Fernandes (£9.0m) is named as vice-captain.

Guglielmo Vicario (Spurs) £5.1m

The goalkeeper is Tottenham Hotspur's top-scoring player in Fantasy this season, combining three clean sheets with four save points and five bonus points to claim 30 points. Spurs and Vicario entertain a Wolverhampton Wanderers side who have failed to score in both their away matches.

Josko Gvardiol (Man City) £5.8m

Man City’s centre-back has a clean sheet and two defensive contribution points to his name over the last two Gameweeks since recovering from injury. Five goals in the previous campaign underlines Gvardiol’s major attacking threat against Burnley.

James Tarkowski (Everton) £5.5m

Everton’s centre-back is one of only two players to collect defensive contribution points in all five of the opening Gameweeks. Tarkowski’s threat at set-pieces will also pose major problems for his visitors West Ham United.

Marcos Senesi (AFC Bournemouth) £4.8m

Similarly to Tarkowski, the AFC Bournemouth star has collected 10 points through his defensive contributions. Senesi has also delivered three clean sheets and an assist in his last four outings ahead of a visit to Leeds United.

Bruno Fernandes (Man Utd) £9.0m

Manchester United’s playmaker visits a Brentford side who have conceded 10 goals over the first five Gameweeks, the third-most in the league. Fernandes has scored twice and created a league-high 15 chances, highlighting his major all-round attacking potential.

Phil Foden (Man City) £8.0m

The England star looks back to his best after a recent return to the Man City starting XI. Foden has two goals and two assists across his side’s last four matches in all competitions.

Antoine Semenyo (AFC Bournemouth) £7.7m

Bournemouth’s winger is the top-scoring midfielder in Fantasy, earning 41 points thanks to three goals and two assists. Semenyo’s 12 shots in the box and six big chances – or situations where the player is expected top score – are also both top among midfielders this season.

Jack Grealish (Everton) £6.8m

Everton’s winger has four assists and 24 points in his four starts since arriving on loan from Man City. Grealish has created 13 chances from Gameweek 2 onwards, more than any other player in Fantasy.

Erling Haaland (Man City) £14.3m

A massive 798,000+ managers have already transferred in Haaland ahead of Saturday’s 11:00 BST deadline. If, as expected, he recovers from a slight back complaint, the Norwegian is expected to be the No 1 captain pick for Gameweek 6 – his 20 shots in the box and 10 big chances are both league-leading totals this season.

Joao Pedro (Chelsea) £7.8m

Chelsea’s Brazilian faces his former club Brighton & Hove Albion on the back of two goals and three assists over the last four Gameweeks. Joao Pedro’s hefty 67 per cent ownership will be optimistic he can add to that tally at Stamford Bridge on Saturday afternoon – the Seagulls have lost both their away matches, conceding twice on each occasion.

Richarlison (Spurs) £6.7m

The Spurs forward took his tally to three goals and an assist for the season last weekend with a strike in their 2-2 draw at Brighton. Richarlison’s 13 shots in the box rank second only to Haaland this season, while his opponents Wolves have conceded 12 goals and are without a clean sheet over their five matches.
