Fantasy Premier League tips: Biggest transfer ins and outs ahead of FPL GW6
FANTASY PREMIER LEAGUE managers are already abandoning some early season favourites ahead of GW6.
Fantasy Premier League: Most and least popular players so far
Fantasy Premier League bosses have been busy in the transfer market over the past few days as they look to shake up their squads ahead of GW6.
Surprise injuries, down-turns in form and a stunning hat-trick from Eden Hazard have triggered a host of signings and sales by FPL gaffers.
The Chelsea man is in great demand after his treble against Cardiff, although Bournemouth winger Ryan Fraser is also among the goals and half the price.
Meanwhile, a couple of Manchester City stars are being abandoned after both Sergio Aguero and Benjamin Mendy picked up injuries – but who is being targeted as replacements?
Express Sport has rounded up the most transferred in and out players ahead of GW6:
OUT – 5. Pedro (Chelsea): 91,805
Woeful in front of goal against Cardiff, while Willian provided a goal and an assist after replacing him last weekend.
OUT – 4. Benjamin Mendy (Manchester City): 102,924
A surprise omission from the match-day squad after picking up an ankle injury, and managers are selling before his price drops.
OUT – 3. Sergio Aguero (Manchester City): 133,977
Two assists last time out but forced off before the hour – also with an ankle problem.
However, the Argentinian has been training this week and is unlikely to be sidelined for long.
OUT – 2. Henrikh Mkhitaryan (Arsenal): 167,537
Unai Emery has opted for both Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in his starting XI recently, making Mkhitaryan the odd man out.
OUT – 1. Mohamed Salah (Liverpool): 200,359
The goals still refuse to come for the Egyptian, who fired another blank against Tottenham and also failed to hit the mark against PSG in the Champions League.
IN – 5. Aleksandar Mitrovic (Fulham): 115,022
A brilliant budget option and looks even more enticing with third-striker rival Danny Ings unavailable against parent club Liverpool.
IN – 4. Romelu Lukaku (Manchester United): 115,390
Another goal against Watford takes his season tally to four as the United juggernaut grinds into gear.
IN – 3. Lucas Moura (Tottenham Hotspur): 127,146
Harry Kane still looks out of sorts so the attacking threat of Lucas Moura is key for Spurs.
Son Heung-Min is back available but the Brazilian should retain his spot.
IN – 2. Ryan Fraser (Bournemouth): 308,086
Would have been the star of GW5, if not for Hazard.
Scored twice and provided an assist as the Cherries battered Leicester.
IN – 1. Eden Hazard (Chelsea): 363,147
A brilliant hat-trick announced Hazard’s return to top form against Cardiff, and the Belgian could cash in once again with a trip to West Ham up next.
Plenty more FPL managers will snap up the Chelsea star before the transfer deadline on Saturday.
