Are you an FPL player looking for extra stats to help get your team out of trouble, looking for some advice on who to captain this week, or just chasing some Fantasy Football stats, well our Fantasy Premier League FPL GW6 Preview is ready to help out.
Before each Fantasy Premier League game week we supply a bunch of statistics to hopefully guide the keen FPL player make a decision or two.
The most popular has been our Captain’s Table, which combines some key statistics to help make that crucial captain choice.
We also have our all new Captain Planner for the entire 2020-21 FPL season.
And there’s plenty in between.
For now, enjoy the our Fantasy Premier League FPL GW6 Preview.
Fantasy Premier League FPL GW6 – CAPTAIN’S TABLE
Here we assemble the finest stats we can think of to get the best picture of who should wear the armband for your team.
It is a mix of current FPL form, historical goal scoring and assist form v opponents, relative FPL performance per their cost and the difficulty of their upcoming game designed by our in house difficulty ratings system.
Each category is given a weighting, and points assigned relative to that high point. Each category score is totaled for he final score.
The final score is out of 100, with that high mark being a rare occurrence of aligning suns, moons and planets of FPL.
The most feared combo since Tango & Cash, Son & Kane are the current FPL kings. Which if you don’t have either leaves you exposed to more FPL pain (like us). Burnley don’t look great and Kane has a goals/assists per game ratio of over 1.0. Kane going as close to the 100 maximum score as anyone has over the past two seasons we’ve been calculating this for.
Salah always goes a little better at home, and Sheffield United aren’t travelling that well at all. Sadio Mane is down the captain’s table a little, but looked great last weekend and must be considered. If you don’t have Son, Kane or Salah.
Grealish features highly, but captaining him against the mildly unpredictable Leeds might not be a good idea, as it is the first game of the weekend and if he blanks could set a dark mood for the rest of the round.
Our Tip: Spurs if you have them or Salah / Mane – after giving West Ham a little too credit for their effect on Spurs players last week, we say green light to captain either Son or Kane. For those who don’t, Salah is at home, and looking sharp to carve up the Blades.

Fantasy Premier League FPL GW6 – POINTS PER COST – OVER/UNDER
A new data addition this season, and included in our Captain’s table is an attempt to check a player’s point scoring value, and relative to his peers.
So we take the overall FPL points scored and divide by their cost to get a figure. One we have used for the captain’s table from last season.
We then take it a step further a determine a figure for each position and band of a million FPL cost. E.g. a midfielder costing between 6.0 and 6.9 would be classed as a MID6.
A final comparison is made for each player’s Points per Cost to the standard set by the position-cost band and whether they are under or over. And the % over or under.
It’s an alternative way to see over or under performance to the cost.
The first visuals below show the top ten for each position and then the relative over/under performance with their current cost and the size of the bubble is % of ownership.
The next visuals have been split into the top 20 players for each position based on current FPL total points,.
