Best Midfielders to select in Fantasy Premier League Gameweek 6

Midfielders often hold the most scoring potential in Fantasy Premier League. Selecting the right players can significantly impact your overall points tally. However, injuries can disrupt your plans, as evidenced by the absences of popular choices like Kevin de Bruyne, Martin Odegaard, and Rodri. To help you navigate this challenge, let’s explore five midfielders who could be excellent picks for your Fantasy Premier League team this week.

5. Eberechi Eze

Neither Eberechi Eze nor Crystal Palace have had a great start to the season. In 5 games so far, the silky midfielder has only contributed to one goal but there is reason for optimism. His performances of late, including the one versus Manchester United last weekend have been good which suggests that a big Fantasy Premier League return could be around the corner. Palace faces one of the leakiest defences in the league in Everton this weekend and perhaps that will be Eze’s chance.

4. Emile Smith Rowe

Emile Smith Rowe’s transition to Fulham has been as smooth as expected. His Arsenal days offered glimpses of his extraordinary attacking abilities, and his uncanny knack for timing late runs into the penalty area has been a hallmark of his performances at Craven Cottage. He has already got 2 goals and an assist at his new club this season. Nottingham Forest and Fulham are quite evenly matched but expect Smith Rowe to be the difference-maker this weekend.

3. Cole Palmer

Cole Palmer has established himself as a bonafide star in the Premier League. This season, he has starred too. In the five games, he’s played this season, he has two goals and four assists. One of the most owned players in Fantasy Premier League, Palmer is also one of the most expensive. But these are all valid, as he brings surefire points. This week, Chelsea face Brighton in what is expected to be a high-scoring affair. Palmer could revel.

2. Luis Diaz

Luis Diaz has been the surprise starter this season in the Premier League. In the five Premier League that Liverpool have played this season, Luis Diaz has an assist to accompany his 5 goals. He starred last week against Bournemouth, scoring a brace. Rested midweek to be fresh for the clash against Wolves, the Colombian could feast again. It is important to remember that Wolves have struggled massively in 2024.

1. Mo Salah

Mo Salah is a fixture on this list every week. He is one of the most consistent Fantasy Premier League options, if not the most. He has 4 goals and 3 assists in the league this season, with only Erling Haaland having contributed to more goals than he has. Salah is still fit as ever and continues to haunt the opposition. Liverpool’s opponents this week are Wolves, who are bottom of the table and winless and have conceded 14 times in 5 games.
