<h2>Chelsea v Man City <strong>- FPL Gameweek 6 Review</strong></h2>
<p>The Gameweek kicked off at Stamford Bridge with the European champions facing the champions of England.</p>
<p>Chelsea recorded the lowest xG of all teams this week so needless to say, <strong>Romelu Lukaku (£11.7m)</strong> did not have a lot of service up front. He had no attempts on goal in what was a game to forget for Chelsea. However, Lukaku and Chelsea have a good run of fixtures coming up and it wouldn’t be wise to judge Lukaku's upcoming potential on the basis of this one game alone.</p>
<p><strong>Jack Grealish (£8.0m)</strong> had a good game from a statistical point of view where he recorded 11 penalty area touches and three shots from inside the box. Grealish was also at the end of one big chance but failed to convert.  Grealish has started all games for City so far so could be worth considering once Man City's fixtures get better after Gameweek 7.</p>

<p>With <strong>Marcos Alonso (£6.0m) </strong>delivering a poor performance<strong>, </strong><strong>César Azpilicueta (£6.0m)</strong> and <strong>Antonio Rüdiger (£5.7m)</strong> might be the two safest Chelsea assets to own going forward in terms of security of starts. With James injured, Azpilicueta might play the right wing back role while Rüdiger has started almost 90% of the games in which he has been available under Thomas Tuchel.</p>
<h2></h2>
<h2>Man United v Aston Villa <strong>- FPL Gameweek 6 Review</strong></h2>
<p><strong>Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.7m)</strong> was trusted by a lot of fantasy managers with the armband this week but failed to live up to the expectations. He managed to record just the one attempt on goal from inside the box and put in a disappointing performance.</p>
<p><strong>Mason Greenwood (£7.7m)</strong> was Man United's greatest goal threat. His tally of eight shots and six shots in the box respectively is highest for both categories in the Gameweek. However, most of these efforts were low xG attempts and Villa managed to hold their own to counter Greenwood's threat.</p>
<p><strong>Bruno Fernandes (£11.9m)</strong> had a forgettable game with him missing a penalty at the end of the game. He created ten chances, which is the highest any player has managed in a single game this calendar year. Since Ronaldo's arrival, he is second among all players for expected assists yet has no assists to his credit. It remains to be seen whether or not he keeps penalties but his chance creation numbers are very impressive.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-32589 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Fernandes.jpg" alt="fpl gameweek 6 review" width="1024" height="683" /></p>
<p>A defender that might be worth keeping an eye on in the weeks to come is <strong>Matthew Cash (£5.0m).</strong> Since Villa's switch to a 3-5-2, Cash is second among defenders for penalty area touches as he has been given additional freedom to roam forward in the new system.</p>
<h2></h2>
<h2>Everton v Norwich - FPL Gameweek 6 Review</h2>
<p>Everton never really got out of second gear but still had enough to beat a struggling Norwich side.</p>
<p><strong>Lucas Digne (£5.3m)</strong> delivered some much needed rewards for his owners despite a yellow card. For the second game in succession, it was Townsend who was taking the majority of the set pieces which did not help Digne's chance creation numbers - as he only managed to create one chance all game.</p>
<p><strong>Andros Townsend (£5.5m)</strong> continued his brilliant run of form by adding another goal to his name, this time from the penalty spot. This continued the trend of right wingers having returned in all six games against Norwich this season.</p>
<p><strong>Demarai Gray (£5.8m)</strong> had a quiet game overall but set up a big chance for <strong>Abdoulaye Doucouré (£5.6m) </strong>and earned an assist to his credit.</p>
<h2></h2>
<h2>Leeds v West Ham <strong>- FPL Gameweek 6 Review</strong></h2>
<p>West Ham came out on top in what was a thoroughly entertaining game to watch.</p>
<p><strong>Michail Antonio (£7.9m)</strong> returned from his suspension with a bang, scoring the winning goal and recording the highest expected goal involvement (xGi) this Gameweek in the process. He now sits top for xGi among all players in the league, and that is despite missing one game due to suspension.</p>
<p><strong>Said Benrahma (£6.5m)</strong> created three chances including a big chance, and was unlucky to be denied through a great save by Meslier. It was his chance creation numbers which helped him accumulate a bonus point.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-37903 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/GettyImages-1234838487.jpg" alt="fpl gameweek 6 review" width="1024" height="683" /></p>
<p><strong>Raphinha (£6.5m)</strong> scored the Leeds goal with a great finish from just outside the box. Raphinha in my opinion remains the best midfielder in his price range, especially with the fixtures coming up. Even this week, he was unlucky not to have hauled bigger as he hit the post and should have had an assist had Klich put away what was a straightforward chance.</p>
<p>The Brazilian has recorded 19 big chance involvements in 24 matches this calendar year and remains in a league of his own when it comes to budget midfielders.</p>
<h2></h2>
<h2>Leicester v Burnley <strong>- FPL Gameweek 6 Review</strong></h2>
<p><strong>Jamie Vardy (£10.4m)</strong> was the main talking point of the game as he scored both for and against the opposition. Vardy accumulated a whopping 14 penalty area touches, the most among all players this Gameweek. He also recorded six shots from inside the box, including two big chances. He remains at an awkward price point though, which makes it harder for FPL managers to fit him into their teams long term.</p>
<p><strong>Harvey Barnes (£6.7m)</strong> also had 13 penalty area touches with five shots from inside the box but failed to provide any returns.</p>
<h2></h2>
<h2 style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Watford v Newcastle </strong><strong>- FPL Gameweek 6 Review</strong></h2>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Newcastle had the better of this game but remained winless this season as a result of some poor finishing. Newcastle registered three big chances as compared to Watford's one, and that one big chance came from a set piece too.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Allan Saint-Maximin (£6.8m)</strong> was very influential throughout the game and had great attacking threat. He provides that spark to the Newcastle team which they desperately need. He created five chances this Gameweek and was top for expected assists.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter wp-image-34756 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/saint-maximin.jpg" alt="fpl gameweek 6 review" width="1024" height="683" /></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Ismaila Sarr (£6.3m) </strong>scored yet again but truth be told had little impact from open play. <strong>Emmanuel Dennis (£5.3m</strong>) had the highest number of penalty area touches alongside Saint Maximin. He accumulated four shots inside the box while <strong>Joshua King (£5.5m) </strong>created the big chance for Sarr's goal.</p>
<h2></h2>
<h2 style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Brentford v Liverpool </strong><strong>- FPL Gameweek 6 Review</strong></h2>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In my opinion, this was the game of the season. Both teams had great attacking threat as Liverpool ended up with an xG of 2.6 and Brentford with an xG of 2.3, the top two xG's of the Gameweek. Further, both Brentford and Liverpool accumulated the most big chances this week (5 each).</p>
