10. Chris Wood

Chris Wood has been a surprise package of this campaign, nailing down the number nine role in Nottingham Forest’s attack and scoring three goals from six big chances. Forest are unbeaten over the opening five gameweeks of the season, with two wins and three draws taking them to eighth in the Premier League table. Up next, it’s Fulham visiting the City Ground, a side without a clean sheet this season. It now seems like Wood is on penalties for Forest too, having converted against Brighton.

9. Ollie Watkins

Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins has played his way into form, with three goals in two games since the international break. Watkins sits joint-top with Erling Haaland for big chances on goal this season with ten. His fitness issues seem to be well behind him now, having missed just seven minutes of action in the last two gameweeks. It’s a great time to buy Watkins ahead of the trip to promoted Ipswich Town, who have conceded eight goals in their opening five games.

8. Gabriel

Arsenal’s Gabriel has produced 22 points in the last two gameweeks alone, scoring in back-to-back games to reward his owners who kept the faith for away trips to Spurs and Manchester City. He’s the only defender to make this top ten and the most-purchased defender, as Arsenal looks to continue their unbeaten start to the season against Leicester City. The Gunners’ goalkeeper, David Raya, is a doubt for this game with a muscular issue, which could limit their clean sheet potential.

7. Eberechi Eze

Crystal Palace talisman Eberechi Eze continues to impress on the pitch, and his underlying numbers back that up. He sits third among midfielders for shots on goal with 20, including four big chances. He’s also created ten chances for his teammates and is involved in the majority of the Eagles’ set pieces. It’s unclear whether he will take the next penalty, with Mateta converting from the spot in Gameweek 4. Up next is a trip to Everton, who have had their defensive struggles, conceding a league-high 14 goals.

6. Son Heung-min

Tottenham Hotspur captain Heung-min Son has had a creative role to start this season, staying wide to allow Dominic Solanke to dominate through the middle. His side had 23 shots against Brentford last time out, with seven key passes and two big chances created by Son yielding two assists. That takes Son up to four goal involvements in five games this season. It’s thought that Son will remain on penalties for Spurs, despite the arrival of summer signing Solanke, who was first choice at Bournemouth.

5. Kai Havertz

Kai Havertz looks set to continue in the number nine role for Arsenal, despite injuries and suspensions hitting the Gunners’ midfield. He’s produced attacking returns in each home game so far this season and now has the potential to push on for their fixture swing. He’s now up to 21 goal involvements from 24 appearances in 2024, with a significant increase in his output when playing high and central. Hopefully, Mikel Arteta doesn’t choose to utilise Gabriel Jesus in these easier fixtures. the picture.

4. Cole Palmer

Cole Palmer appears to be the best route into an exciting Chelsea attack, given that his playing time in the Premier League is secure due to his omission from their Europa League Conference squad. Chelsea has scored 11 goals this season, just two fewer than leaders Manchester City, with Palmer contributing to six of those involvements. Manager Enzo Maresca views him as their main playmaker in the number ten role, and he should also remain on penalties after a flawless record from the spot last season.

3. Bukayo Saka

Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka is a must-own right now, with the perfect balance of form and fixtures. Along with Erling Haaland, he is the only player to produce an attacking return in every single game this season, accumulating one goal and five assists. He has been pivotal to the Gunners’ set-piece goals in recent games, with seven shots on target and five big chances created this season. He is also on penalties. Opponents Leicester City haven’t kept a clean sheet this season, conceding eight goals in this time.

2. Mohamed Salah

Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah is being sold by many fantasy managers this week as the easiest route to Saka, but the AI predictions suggest that move might be slightly premature. Salah has produced double-digit hauls in each of his away trips this season, with 14 points against Ipswich Town and 17 points against Manchester United. Up next is a Wolves side that has one of the worst defensive records in the league so far this season, conceding 14 goals. Salah has multiple routes to points, including penalties.

1. Erling Haaland

Erling Haaland leads the AI rankings as the best captain pick for FPL Gameweek 6 for the trip to Newcastle United. It’s incredible that he has already hit double digits for goals this season, and we are only five gameweeks in. He is the only player to score in every single Premier League game. He was rested in the League Cup this midweek and so should be fresh for the trip to Newcastle United. Haaland scored in his only previous visit to St. James’s Park.
