Here’s our fantasy premier league best transfers GW6 article where we analyse the GW6 bandwagons and sinking ships. These are the most transferred in and out players so far in the gameweek. There’s no selection on my part it’s a function of what FPL managers are doing.  There’s a table of stats, some narrative on their prospects and the next 6 fixtures they face.

THE BANDWAGONS

DE BRUYNE

It was his 2nd consecutive goal and assist return against Bournemouth and the 4th consecutive game where he has returned a goal or assist.  Making a mockery of a supposed deeper position.  Good underlying stats although mixed fixtures to come plus European games.  Seems a pretty critical part of the team though which should ensure minimal rotation

Next 6 premier league fixtures

Swansea (A)
Spurs (A)
Everton (H)
Southampton (H)
West Brom (A)
Middlesbrough (H)

CAPOUE

 The crazy start to the season continues where the player who has scored 1 goal in his last 57 games before this season is the top point scorer in FPL. He has 4 goals and an assist in his first 5 games returning in 4 of them. It’s true he is playing further forward than last season but there’s no underlying stats to back this up.  He does have some set piece representation but it’s questionable whether his conversion of chances can continue. The real question though  is whether he is a 5th midfielder bench option or a genuine 4th midfielder. The fixtures though mean that if you are ever going to take him as a 4th midfielder now is the time especially with Burnley and Bournemouth next.

Burnley (A)
Bournemouth (H)
Middlesbrough (A)
Swansea (A)
Hull (H)
Liverpool (A)

STERLING

A goal and assist against Bournemouth in GW5 makes it 3 goals and 3 assists returning in 4/5 games so far.  These are backed up by pretty good underlying stats too.  Great value and plays in the more advanced midfield position than say KDB.  Nolito’s suspension will certainly help his gametime.  Mixed fixtures

Swansea (A)
Spurs (A)
Everton (H)
Southampton (H)
West Brom (A)
Middlesbrough (H)

AGUERO

Back from his ban this weekend. 3 goals in his first 3 games.  Fantastic underlying stats.  The best forward in the league and a regular captain option.  Nothing else is needed to say

Swansea (A)
Spurs (A)
Everton (H)
Southampton (H)
West Brom (A)
Middlesbrough (H)

ANTONIO

A goal in the humiliating loss to WBA makes it 5 goals in the first 5 games and he has returned a goal or assist in 4 of those first 5 games.  There’s no doubt in my mind the West Ham AM is the real deal. His ability to get into the box is remarkable. His underlying stats show that this is definitely no fluke.  Good fixtures

Southampton (H)
Middlesbrough (H)
Crystal Palace (A)
Sunderland (H)
Everton (A)
Stoke (H)

HAZARD

After returning in his first 3 games for 2 goals and an assist he has now gone 2 games without either.  This with tricky fixtures and other alternatives has seen a mass of sales.  He certainly seems to be stationed  quite wide which is causing him problems in being in good scoring positions when he gets the ball.  However the underlying shooting stats are still pretty good.

Arsenal (A)
Hull (A)
Leicester (H)
Man Utd (H)
Southampton (A)
Everton (H)

NEGREDO

1 goal and 2 assists in his first 2 games has been followed by 3 blanks subsequent to that.  No underlying shooting stats either to hang your hat on for a return to the goals.  Fixtures are mixed too which don’t help.

 Spurs (H)
West Ham (A)
Watford (H)
Arsenal (A)
Bournemouth (H)
Man City (A)

IBRAHIMOVIC

4 goals and an assisT returNing in 4 of the 5 opening games.  Very good underlying stats back this up.  Hold on shouldn’t he be in the bandwagons?  The fixtures are a little mixed, Man Utd were very unimpressive against City and especially Watford.  Also, the way to get Aguero back as well as other expensive players with good fixtures seems to be the reasoning

Leicester (H)
Stoke (H)
Liverpool (A)
Chelsea (A)
Burnley (H)
Swansea (A)

NOLITO

How do you get yourself sent off with minutes to go and your team 4 goals up.  Incredible.  Suspended until GW8

Swansea (A)
Spurs (A)
Everton (H)
Southampton (H)
West Brom (A)
Middlesbrough (H)

BARKLEY

Did play well against Middlesboro but if you blank 3 games in a row then you’re always going to see massive sales.  Good underlying stats and Bournemouth and Palace next would be the case for holding

Bournemouth (A)
Crystal Palace (H)
Man City (A)
Burnley (A)
West Ham (H)
Chelsea (A)
