Fantasy Premier League (FPL) is an online game where players from around the world build a team consisting of 15 players. You get to field a team of 11 players each week and choose a captain. You can make transfers every week to bring in new players who seem to be in form. Your players give you points depending on their performance in the game and how crucial they were in helping their team get the result. This article talks about the captaincy picks and the best differential transfers you can do this week to finish at the top.

Mohamed Salah is one of the most in-form players in the Premier League this season. He has three goals and four assists in the first five Premier League games and faces Wolverhampton Wanderers in Gameweek 6 of the Fantasy Premier League. Wolves have conceded more goals than any other team in the league this season, and it will not be surprising if Mohamed Salah ends up hauling against them this weekend.
Erling Haaland faces a relatively tougher team in Gameweek 6 of the Fantasy Premier League than some others. He faces Newcastle United this weekend, but despite this being a tough fixture, almost everyone backs him to score. This is because of his form, which includes 10 goals scored in the first five games. He will surely continue his goal-scoring run against Newcastle United.
Ollie Watkins scored three goals and was given one assist in his last three Premier League games. He seems to have found his form again and has what is arguably one of the easiest fixtures this season lined up. Watkins will face Ipswich Town this weekend and can end up being a fantastic captain pick. It will not be surprising at all if he ends up scoring multiple goals and hauling massively against Ipswich Town.
Bukayo Saka is a safe option that FPL players can choose. The Arsenal winger has not played a game yet but has continued his consistent performance from last year. Saka has had an assist in each of the five games he has played this season, and if you want a safe captain pick, he is your choice.
Cole Palmer is our differential captain pick for this week. The English forward has been killing it in the league since last season. He has already scored two goals and given four assists this season and has shown he has the potential to haul in games. He scored 17 points against the Wolves after scoring a goal and providing three assists in the same game. He can be a very good differential pick for this week.

John Duran is yet to start a game in the Premier League this season but has come off the bench and scored in four out of the five games played. He has shown Aston Villa what he is capable of, and if he continues to perform like this, Unai Emery will not be able to keep him on the bench for much longer. He is owned by just 5.6% of Fantasy Premier League players and can end up being a fantastic differential.
Robert Sanchez has been on fire for Chelsea and has scored 25 points in the Fantasy Premier League in just the last two games. Such high numbers are ridiculous for a goalkeeper, yet he is owned by under 10% of Fantasy Premier League Players. Sanchez is likely to continue his red-hot form and can end up being a fantastic differential pick for your team.
Raul Jimenez scored in both of his last two games for Fulham in the Premier League. The striker seems to have dethroned Rodrigo Muniz and become the first-choice striker for Fulham. The striker scored in both the games he started and hopes to continue this record when he faces Nottingham Forest this week. The striker is owned by just 2.1% of Fantasy Premier League players and can end up helping you boost your point tally massively.
Dwight McNeil is one of our favourite differential picks for Gameweek 6 of the Fantasy Premier League. The Everton forward is owned by just 2.8% of FPL players but has been showing great potential. He has one goal and two assists in his last three league games and will face Crystal Palace in Gameweek 6. Everton’s attack seems to be getting better and better, and it will not be surprising if Dwight McNeil ends up hauling against Crystal Palace.
Antonio Semenyo has two goals and one assist in the Premier League this season, and while he has not been in the goals in Bournemouth’s last two games, he will face Southampton in Gameweek 6 of the Fantasy Premier League. This will be one of his best chances to return to form, and he will hope to see his name on the scoresheet at the end of the game.
