The International Series continues, with this week’s Fantasy Challenge seeing managers limited to selecting African players only, picking a 5-a-side team with an UNLIMITED budget.
You can enter a squad up until 16:30 BST on Sunday, when Man Utd host Tottenham Hotspur.
Here, FPL expert FPL Focal reveals his approach for Gameweek 6.
Pick your Fantasy Challenge team NOW!
It’s just as well there's an unlimited budget this week because obviously the first name on my teamsheet is Mohamed Salah (£12.8m), who is also my captain.
He only played 31 minutes as a substitute in Liverpool's 5-1 midweek EFL Cup victory over West Ham United, so he should be pretty fresh for the weekend.
Salah's opponents Wolves sit rock bottom of the Premier League heading into Gameweek 6, while they are tied for the most goals conceded so far this season, with 14.
The second midfield slot is trickier, but I narrowed it down to two players – Bryan Mbeumo (£7.2m) and Antoine Semenyo (£5.6m).
Mbeumo is flavour of the month, with great upcoming fixtures, penalty and corner duties and is facing West Ham, who have also looked leaky defensively.
However, I’ve gone for a punt on AFC Bournemouth's Semenyo, who I think will be overlooked by many managers. I’ve also got him in my main FPL team on my Wildcard because I think he has great potential for returns this week. Semenyo has taken 24 shots this season, which is only bettered by Erling Haaland (£15.3m), with 26.
Semenyo is so involved in the attack and looking like their main man following the departure of Dominic Solanke (£7.5m). So I fancy him to get something at home to Southampton. I'll have to settle for owning Mbeumo in my main FPL team!
Go for red-hot Jackson
Up front, I’ve gone with Chelsea's Nicolas Jackson (£7.7m), who is the second top-scoring forward after Haaland, with 35 points.
His Expected Goals (xG) of 3.28 is only be beaten by Haaland, with 5.81. Chelsea host Brighton, who will be without head coach Fabian Hurzeler on the touchline, followed his red card in Gameweek 5. That could also work to Chelsea’s benefit.
I’ve lined up with a 1-2-1 formation and opted for Ola Aina (£4.5m) in defence. Nottingham Forest have been superb defensively, with their Expected Goals Conceded (xGC) of 4.05 the third-best in the competition, behind only Man City and Liverpool.
I looked at Man Utd's Noussair Mazraoui (£4.6m) as well, who offers more attacking threat than Aina, but I fancy Spurs to score at Old Trafford.
Lastly, Andre Onana (£5.0m) picks himself as the only option in goal. Only having one African goalkeeper in FPL means it’s a four-player game this week. So make sure you get your outfield picks right!
Good luck everyone!
