Fantasy Premier League: Gameweek 6 tips to make your team
Best attacker: Michail Antonio
West Ham, fresh from knocking out Manchester United in the third round of the League Cup, will welcome back Michail Antonio who served a suspension after his red card against Southampton. The 31-year-old has four goals and three assists from his first four games and will look to exploit the frailties of the makeshift Leeds United defence this weekend.
Best defender: Trent Alexander-Arnold
Liverpool are expected to field Trent Alexander-Arnold in their line-up for the away trip to Brentford. The right-back sat out against Crystal Palace with a non-COVID-19 illness and his presence was slightly missed, given he is the main source for feeding in balls for Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane in the Reds’ attack.
The 22-year-old has been a part of three clean sheets this season and has registered two assists as well, making him a must-have defender in the fantasy football team.
Budget player: Ismaila Sarr
Ismaila Sarr has registered three goals for Watford this season and is proving to be a good differential player despite the club’s indifferent form.
The Senegalese winger is coming off the back of a big 15-point haul against Norwich in Gameweek 5 and will look to trouble a Newcastle side that has conceded 13 goals so far in the campaign.
