The Bonus Points
A stunning 25-yard effort from Junior Stanislas (£5.5m) earned AFC Bournemouth a victory over Everton, with the winger claiming maximum Fantasy Premier League bonus points while Artur Boruc (£4.5m) moved joint-top of the goalkeeper rankings.
Steve Cook (£4.9m) marshalled a determined Cherries back four to a second consecutive 1-0 home win to claim two bonus points at Vitality Stadium.
The central defender made 18 clearances, blocks and interceptions (CBI) – the third highest tally in Gameweek 6 so far.
Cook tallied 29 in the Bonus Points System (BPS), a total also shared by team-mate Harry Arter (£5.0m) and Everton’s Seamus Coleman (£5.5m).
Arter claimed the assist for Stanislas' goal and completed 85% of his 52 attempted passes.
Despite suffering defeat, Coleman was awarded two bonus points. The right-back raided forward to lay on a "big chance" and also won six tackles – more than any other defender in the Gameweek to date.
The ICT Index
This was a low-scoring encounter in the ICT Index, with Everton's Ross Barkley (£7.5m) registering the highest total of 7.8.
The Toffees midfielder scored 45 for Creativity, having provided three chances for team-mates and completing 14 passes in the final third – more than any other player on the pitch.
The visitors also boasted the top scorer for Threat, with Kevin Mirallas (£6.6m) registering 42 via two efforts on goal, including a blocked attempt from inside the six-yard box.
The Scout Notes
Back-to-back home clean sheets have brought Eddie Howe’s defence to the attention of FPL managers.
Adam Smith (£4.6m) has previously been the most popular target in AFC Bournemouth's back four.
The forward-thinking right-back is owned by 8.8% of FPL managers but is an early doubt for the Gameweek 7 trip to Watford after suffering a facial injury in a clash with Ashley Williams (£5.0m).
Cook and Simon Francis (£4.5m) offer potentially profitable alternatives.
Cook scored four goals in his first top-flight season in 2015/16, with the versatile Francis offering four assists having also featured at right-back.
Meanwhile, Boruc (£4.5m) is now tied at the top of the FPL goalkeeper rankings.
The 36-year-old has recorded 25 points in six appearances so far, level with Swansea City's Lukasz Fabianski (£5.1m) and West Bromwich Albion's Ben Foster (£4.7m).
AFC Bournemouth host Hull City, Tottenham Hotspur and Sunderland in their next three home matches, after visiting Watford next time out in Gameweek 7.
The defeat for Everton delivered a disappointing blank for Romelu Lukaku (£9.3m) who headed into Gameweek 6 backed by 195,668 new investors.
Now found in 19.4% of squads, Lukaku’s owners can at least take comfort from Everton’s favourable fixture schedule.
They face Crystal Palace, Burnley and West Ham United in three of the next four, with a Gameweek 8 trip to Manchester City providing the sternest test according to the Fixture Difficulty Ranking.
Left-back Leighton Baines (£5.6m) is an early doubt for Friday night's hosting of Palace having missed Saturday’s defeat with a hamstring injury.
