Raya\u2019s opponents Leeds have scored just one goal over the last two Gameweeks, suggest he can reward his backers with a fourth clean sheet of 2026\/27.<\/p>\n<p>James Tarkowski (Everton) \u00a36.2m<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierleague.com\/en\/clubs\/11\/everton\/overview\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Everton<\/a>\u2019s centre-back is one of only four players in 2026\/27 Fantasy who have started all five Gameweeks and are yet to blank. Tarkowski\u2019s many routes to returns can help him extend that streak at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierleague.com\/en\/clubs\/88\/hull-city\/overview\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Hull City<\/a> \u2013 he\u2019s produced a goal, an assist, three clean sheets, six defensive contribution (DC) points and seven bonus points.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Murillo (Nottingham Forest) \u00a35.5m<\/p>\n<p>The Brazilian is one of only two defenders, along with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierleague.com\/en\/clubs\/91\/bournemouth\/overview\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">AFC Bournemouth<\/a>\u2019s Antonio Silva (\u00a35.0m), who has totalled eight DC points across the first five Gameweeks. The underlying numbers indicate that Forest have been unlucky to claim just one clean sheet this season \u2013 they have allowed their opponents a league-low six big chances, which are situations where a player is expected to score.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Lewis Hall (Newcastle) \u00a35.3m<\/p>\n<p>Newcastle&#8217;s left-back is the second most-bought defender in Fantasy ahead of Saturday&#8217;s deadline, earning 311,000+ new owners. Hall\u2019s all-round potential has helped him produce two double-figure returns over his last four outings, combining a goal and an assist with a clean sheet, four DC points and six bonus points.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Bukayo Saka (Arsenal) \u00a39.6m<\/p>\n<p>The winger\u2019s goal threat makes him one of the very best captaincy picks for Gameweek 6. Saka\u2019s six big chances are twice the combined three of Arsenal team-mates Martin Odegaard (\u00a36.8m) and Kai Havertz (\u00a37.6m), while his 12 shots in the box are just one behind that duo\u2019s total of 13.<\/p>\n<p>Morgan Gibbs-White (Nottingham Forest) \u00a38.0m<\/p>\n<p>Forest\u2019s talisman has been far more reliable in away matches this season. Gibbs-White has collected 21 points in his two road trips, scoring once and supplying two assists.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Bryan Mbeumo (Man Utd) \u00a37.9m<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of a home match against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierleague.com\/en\/clubs\/6\/tottenham-hotspur\/overview\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tottenham Hotspur,<\/a> Mbeumo has boasted a greater goal threat than his more expensive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierleague.com\/en\/clubs\/1\/manchester-united\/overview\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Manchester United<\/a> team-mate Bruno Fernandes (\u00a311.9m). Mbeumo leads the Portuguese by 14 shots in the box to eight, and by five big chances to four.<\/p>\n<p>Harvey Barnes (Newcastle) \u00a36.1m<\/p>\n<p>Newcastle\u2019s winger faces Coventry in fine form on Monday evening. Barnes has produced all of his attacking returns this season \u2013 one goal and three assists \u2013 over the last three Gameweeks, amassing 23 points in that spell.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Pascal Gross (Brighton) \u00a35.9m<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierleague.com\/en\/clubs\/36\/brighton-and-hove-albion\/overview\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Brighton &amp; Hove Albion<\/a> playmaker has totalled 47 points in the opening five Gameweeks to top the overall player standings in Fantasy. Gross has delivered double-figure hauls against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierleague.com\/en\/clubs\/8\/chelsea\/overview\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Chelsea<\/a>, Coventry and Arsenal across his last four appearances, highlighting his huge value for money in Fantasy ahead of the Seagulls&#8217; match at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierleague.com\/en\/clubs\/56\/sunderland\/overview\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Sunderland<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Erling Haaland (Man City) \u00a315.6m<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierleague.com\/en\/clubs\/43\/manchester-city\/overview\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Manchester City<\/a>\u2019s Norwegian visits <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierleague.com\/en\/clubs\/14\/liverpool\/overview\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Liverpool<\/a> having scored in each of the last four Gameweeks. But the Reds\u2019 improved displays in defence suggests that Haaland could struggle to get a big captaincy haul at Anfield \u2013 Andoni Iraola&#8217;s side have kept three straight clean sheets since the introduction of Ronald Araujo (\u00a35.4m) at right-back in Gameweek 3.<\/p>\n<p>Gonzalo Garcia (Fulham) \u00a36.0m<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierleague.com\/en\/clubs\/54\/fulham\/overview\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Fulham<\/a>\u2019s forward travels to an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierleague.com\/en\/clubs\/40\/ipswich-town\/overview\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ipswich Town<\/a> side who have conceded 11 goals and are without a clean sheet in their opening five matches. Garcia\u2019s numbers indicate he has quickly become the focal point of the Cottagers&#8217; attack since signing over the summer &#8211; his 15 shots, 14 shots in the box and four big chances are all more than any team-mate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"See the dream line-up featuring double-ups from Arsenal, Nottingham Forest and Newcastle There are double-ups on three sides&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":875480,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[403,99,1959],"class_list":["post-875479","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-soccer","tag-sports","tag-text"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/875479","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=875479"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/875479\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/875480"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=875479"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=875479"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=875479"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
