The Premier League season continues this weekend with another full complement of fixtures over the course of Saturday and Sunday, but before analysing the clean sheet and anytime goalscorer odds for Gameweek 6, we begin with a review of how the Bookies’ Advantage squad performed last time out…

A solid 70 point return was made possible courtesy of Eden Hazard’s hat-trick and subsequent 20 point haul, along with captain Sergio Aguero’s 14 points (2 assists) and a further 9 from Manchester City teammate Raheem Sterling (1 goal). Wolves duo Rui Patricio and Ryan Bennett also contributed with clean sheets from their 1-0 in over Burnley, as did Callum Wilson with an assist in Bournemouth’s 4-2 thrashing of Leicester.

⚽ ENTER OUR MOST REWARDING FANTASY TOURNAMENT NOW Manchester City top the bookmakers’ defensive rankings ahead of their trip to Cardiff, with the Citizens given a 60% chance of keeping a clean sheet. Having shut out a Fulham side who are much more potent in attack than the Bluebirds last weekend, Pep’s back line should have no problem keeping the Welsh outfit, who have blanked in 3 of their 5 games so far, at bay. Benjamin Mendy would normally be a shoe-in here, but given he is an injury doubt, we opt for the starting security of goalkeeper Ederson for our squad.

Liverpool (56%) rank second when they welcome Southampton to Anfield. The Reds have the best defence in the top flight after 5 rounds, having been breached just twice, and are the only side yet to concede at home. With Danny Ings, who has scored 50% of the Saints’ goals this season, ineligible to face his parent club due to the conditions of his loan agreement, Southampton’s goal threat will be significantly reduced. Priced at just £5.0m and offering plenty of attacking potential, including responsibility over direct free kicks, Trent-Alexander Arnold has all the ingredients required to score big this weekend.

Leicester (49%) and Manchester United (44%) complete the top 4 defensive prospects for Gameweek 6. The Foxes host Huddersfield, who have the poorest attack in the division (2 goals scored), on Saturday, with Claude Puel’s solitary clean sheet this season coming in 1 of their 2 games at The King Power – a 2-0 win over Wolves in Gameweek 2. Ricardo Pereira has already chalked up 3 assists since joining from Porto in the summer, which sees the attack-minded right back makes our starting XI. The Red Devils, meanwhile, have improved of late after a somewhat torrid start to the campaign, keeping clean sheets in 2 of their last 3 outings in all competitions. Wolves, who have scored just once in their 2 away games so far, are the visitors to Old Trafford this weekend and Victor Lindelof is an intriguing proposition given his £5.0m price tag, along with the fact that he has started 4 of United’s 5 Premier League games this term.

Our bench retains a familiar look, with the value it provides hard to beat at present. Ben Hamer (19%) is unlikely to feature against Leicester, but is still the likeliest £4.0m keeper to see any game time. Aaron Wan-Bissaka (38%) and Ryan Bennett (16%) take the second and third places on our bench ahead of clashes at home to Newcastle and away to Manchester United respectively.

The diminutive Argentine is given a 63% chance of scoring against Neil Warnock’s men, who have conceded 7 goals in their last 2 games. After being limited to a second half cameo in the Champions League on Wednesday evening, Aguero should be well-rested in preparation to add to the 3 goals and 4 assists he has already totted up this season.

Joining Aguero up front for our side are Jamie Vardy (45%) and Aleksandar Mitrovic (42%). Leicester’s talisman returned from suspension against Bournemouth in Gameweek 5, but could not add to the opening day goal he scored against Manchester United. He won’t get many better chances to find the net than he will this weekend against Huddersfield, who are conceding an average of 2.2 goals per game, whilst he also bagged against the Terriers last season. Mitrovic, meanwhile, comes into the weekend in superb form, with 4 goals and an assist in his first 5 games of the Premier League campaign. He welcomes Watford to Craven Cottage for Saturday’s early kick off, with his last home outing – a 16 point haul against Burnley – still fresh in the memory. Despite sitting 4th after an impressive start, the Hornets haven’t kept a clean sheet since Gameweek 1.

The bookies also fancy the chances of Arsenal pair Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette, Manchester City’s Gabriel Jesus, and big hitting duo Harry Kane and Romelu Lukaku, whilst they also suggest keeping an eye on Roberto Firmino, but budget restrictions see us forgo their services this weekend.

In midfield, Mohamed Salah (61%) attracts top billing. The mercurial Egyptian has been dismissed in some fantasy quarters after going 3 games in all competitions without a goal, but it should be noted that he has scored in both Premier League games at Anfield this term. The hosting of Southampton, against whom he scored twice in this fixture last season, offers Salah a great chance to punish the non-believers.

There are no such concerns over the form of Eden Hazard (48%), who has scored 7 goals and provided 2 assists in 7 games for club and country this term. Rested for Chelsea’s Europa League game on Thursday, the Belgian wizard will be fresh for a London derby against West Ham on Sunday. And the fact that the Hammers have the joint-second worst defence in the top flight (11 goals conceded in 5) sees us double up on the Chelsea attack for Gameweek 6 with the selection of Pedro (35%), who has hit 3 goals so far for Maurizio Sarri’s side.

Completing our starting XI is James Maddison (31%), who notched his second goal for the Foxes since his summer move from Norwich. A command over set pieces boosts his appeal, and he joins teammates Jamie Vardy and Ricardo Pereira in our squad as part of a Leicester triple-up ahead of their plum home game against Huddersfield. Lining up opposite Maddison will be Philip Billing (6%), who takes the first spot on our bench as the current budget midfielder of choice.

A number of midfielders are also highly rated by the bookies this weekend, such as Manchester City trio Raheem Sterling, Leroy Sane and Riyad Mahrez, cross-town rival Alexis Sanchez, Liverpool’s Sadio Mane and Chelsea’s Willian, but budget and/or squad selection restraints mean we have to overlook them this time round.
