Newcastle v City: FPL Gameweek 6 Scout Report | OneFootball

Find out who the Scout is championing in Gamweek 6 of Fantasy Premier League as Manchester City travel to Newcastle.

Pep Guardiola’s side visit St James’ Park on Saturday 28 September for a 12:30 (UK) kick-off.

We enter the fixture aiming to extend our unbeaten start to the season to eight straight matches in all competitions and maintain our place at the division’s summit.

However, we’ll have to be at our very best against a Magpies team who have only lost one league so far this term.

And there could be plenty to ponder for FPL managers ahead of Saturday 28 September’s 11:00 (UK) deadline.

CITY STAR

After another goal in Gameweek 5 Erling Haaland (£15.3m) is a must have in Fantasy Football. But now also looks the time to double-up on the City attack with Savio (£6.5m) a great option.

The Brazilian has returned 18 points to-date. His quality was highlighted when he put Haaland through for his goal against Arsenal.

Newcastle conceded 22 shots against Fulham side last weekend, something Savio can exploit.

He is third in the Fantasy table for final-third touches (185), ranked third for shots on goal in Gameweek 4 with five.

Only Kevin De Bruyne and Bernardo Silva have created more big chances than Savio at City.

ONE TO WATCH

Harvey Barnes (£6.5m) is Newcastle’s most in-form player. He has three goals this season, with two in the last three matches, making him the second highest-scoring midfielder in Fantasy between Gameweeks 3 and 5.

DIFFERENTIALS

Elsewhere, Antoine Semenyo (£5.6m) and James Ward-Prowse (£6.3m) are low-owned gems who have good potential in Gameweek 5.

Semenyo has had 24 shots this season, across all the players in the game only Haaland has had more.

Meanwhile, Ward-Prowse is on set-pieces. He faces Fulham who have conceded 25 attempts from set-pieces this season, only Southampton have conceded more with 27.
