If you\u2019re in a rush and need some last-minute Fantasy Premier League (FPL) advice, here\u2019s a quick round-up of what you need to know about Gameweek 6.<\/p>\n

WHEN\u2019S THE FPL GAMEWEEK 6 DEADLINE?<\/p>\n

All transfers and team selections need to be done by\u00a011:00 BST on Saturday 27 September.<\/p>\n

HAALAND FIT \u2013 NOW TO TRIPLE CAPTAIN HIM?\"FPL<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is ready.\u201d<\/p>\n

So said Pep Guardiola <\/a>about Erling Haaland (\u00a314.3m) on Friday, following the most PG-rated of injury scares<\/a> for the Norwegian earlier this week.<\/p>\n

The question now: do you Triple Captain him?<\/p>\n

Tom Freeman was debating this topic earlier in the week<\/a>, with his main caveat being the fitness worry surrounding Manchester City\u2019s free-scoring striker \u2013 and now that concern has been lifted.<\/p>\n

The Triple Captain is now the most popular chip being played in Gameweek 6, according to our poll<\/a>, too.<\/p>\n

One last bit of info we\u2019ll leave you with, thanks to TopMarx. Here\u2019s Haaland\u2019s record versus promoted clubs since he joined City:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Haaland aside, Alex looked at whether there were any other City players worth considering in FPL.<\/a><\/p>\n

GAMEWEEK 6 WILDCARD\"Lateriser's<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not playing the Triple Captain, it\u2019s a fair bet you\u2019re on a Wildcard.<\/p>\n

We looked at the pros and cons of a Gameweek 6 Wildcard earlier this week, also cobbling together a couple of drafts.<\/a><\/p>\n

The Hall of Fame\u2019s Rob Mayes then gave us his Gameweek 6 Wildcard team reveal<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Our very own Sam is using the chip, too \u2013 and explains why <\/a>she\u2019s including Alexander Isak (\u00a310.5m).<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll likely want a cheap midfielder or two in your Wildcard team, so Tom Hadley has had a gander at the best budget midfield picks with defensive contribution (DefCon) and other scoring potential.<\/a><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget that you can get your Wildcard team rated via our\u00a0Rate My Team tool<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0Plan FPL<\/a>.<\/p>\n

EKITIKE BANNED \u2013 WILL ISAK START?\"FPL<\/p>\n

Interest in Isak is being raised because Hugo Ekitike (\u00a38.7m) is now banned for Gameweek 6.<\/a><\/p>\n

Will the super Swede be ready to start, then? Here\u2019s what Arne Slot said on Friday<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, yeah, he\u2019s able to play minutes again. I still feel 90 is\u2026 it depends also on the pace and intensity of the game, but it might be a bit too much. But not only that, also for the long term. So, you can give a player maybe one, I would call, \u2018stupid hit\u2019 to bring him to 90 and then his body is completely\u2026 you\u2019ve brought him too far over the line. So, I don\u2019t think it\u2019s smart to play him 90 yet.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe\u2019s further into his \u2018pre-season\u2019 now. Normally, after two or three weeks in pre-season, players go to 60-70 minutes. At some clubs, they even bring them to 90, but if you look at our pre-season, we mainly bring them to 60-70 minutes.\u201d \u2013 Arne Slot, when asked if Alexander Isak is ready to start<\/p>\n

In his weekly Q&A, Zophar was pondering whether it was the right time to buy the forward.<\/a><\/p>\n

Isak aside, here are four potential replacements for Ekitike<\/a> should you be in the market.<\/p>\n

PALMER OUT, SAKA FIT \u2013 AND BANS LOOMING\"FPL<\/p>\n

Everyone\u2019s gone cold on Cole Palmer (\u00a310.4m) as the midfielder will be out until after the international break.<\/a><\/p>\n

Elsewhere on the fitness front, Bukayo Saka (\u00a39.8m) is fine <\/a>and Noni Madueke (\u00a37.0m) is not<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There are ongoing doubts<\/a> about Murillo (\u00a35.4m), too.<\/p>\n

For everything else \u2018team news\u2019, here\u2019s a round-up of Friday\u2019s press conferences<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not just injuries we have to consider in our teams but suspensions, too.<\/p>\n

Ekitike is banned; Robert Sanchez (\u00a34.9m) is not. He served his one-match ban in the EFL Cup in midweek.<\/p>\n

Yellow card accumulation is now a factor, too. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (\u00a35.0m) is one booking away from a suspension,<\/a> so just be mindful of that if you are looking to buy the Everton midfielder.<\/p>\n

BEST FPL GAMEWEEK 5 CAPTAIN\"Who<\/p>\n

Can we look past\u00a0Haaland\u00a0for the armband this week? Our\u00a0Rate My Team (RMT) algorithm<\/a>\u00a0and responders in our\u00a0captain poll<\/a>\u00a0unsurprisingly think not.<\/p>\n
