The return of European football makes this week a really tricky one.<\/p>\n<h2>Fantasy Premier League Gameweek Six Picks<\/h2>\n<h3>Goalkeepers<\/h3>\n<p>A host of mid-table to lower-end teams play each other this week.

However, it will be tough against the likes of <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/norwich-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Norwich City&#8217;s<\/a> Teemu Pukki. The same could be said about Vicente Guaita at home to tired a <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/wolves-club-analysis-news-fixtures\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wolverhampton Wanderers<\/a> side.<\/p>\n<p>Angus Gunn and Mathew Ryan both could get clean sheets this week. Martin Dubravka could be also considered but <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/brighton-hove-albion\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Brighton &amp; Hove Albion<\/a> have the ability to hurt <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/newcastle-united\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Newcastle United<\/a> on the counter.<\/p>\n<h3>Defenders<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/1b84dbe1\/Lucas-Digne?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lucas Digne<\/a> (\u00a36.2) failed miserably last week but has the potential to do well at home this week against <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/sheffield-united-club-news-analysis-fixtures\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sheffield United<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Erik Pieters (\u00a34.7) is an intriguing option this week. Norwich tend to give away goals down the left flank which was exploited by <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/west-ham\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">West Ham United&#8217;s<\/a> Arthur Masuaku last time they were playing away from home. Can Pieters profit from this?<\/p>\n<h3>Midfielders<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/e46012d4\/Kevin-De-Bruyne\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kevin De Bruyne<\/a> (\u00a39.8) should start this week after being benched last week. He has a brilliant home fixture against <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/watford\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Watford<\/a> at home. <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/feeds\/manchestercityfootball-co\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Manchester City<\/a> will be looking to put a few goals past the Hornets to recover from last week&#8217;s disappointment.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/b400bde0\/?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Raheem Sterling<\/a> (\u00a312.3) should be absolutely essential as well. However, he played the full 90 minutes <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/feeds\/items\/pep-guardiola-changes-manchester-city-style-in-shakhtar-donetsk-champions-league-trip\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">against Shakhtar Donetsk<\/a> on Wednesday night. Will Pep Guardiola rest him?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/e342ad68\/?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mohamed Salah<\/a>\u00a0(\u00a312.5) and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/c691bfe2\/Sadio-Mane?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sadio Man\u00e9<\/a> (\u00a311.6) could both do well this week. <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/feeds\/chelseafootball-co\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Chelsea&#8217;s<\/a> attacking style could play right into the hands of J\u00fcrgen Klopp&#8217;s men.<\/p>\n<p>Richarlison (\u00a38.0) scored a brace last time he played at home. He should be considered strongly this week.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/feeds\/arsenalfootball-co\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Arsenal&#8217;s<\/a> record signing Nicolas P\u00e9p\u00e9 (\u00a39.4) has been really erratic so far. Pressure has been mounting on him to do well and this could be the week the Ivorian finally gets off the mark.<\/p>\n<h3>Strikers<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/4d034881\/Sergio-Aguero\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sergio Ag\u00fcero<\/a> (\u00a312.1) did not play a single minute for Manchester City in midweek so should start this one. He is a must-have this week.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/d5dd5f1f\/Pierre-Emerick-Aubameyang\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang<\/a> (\u00a311.0) has a great home fixture against <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/aston-villa-club-news-analysis-fixtures\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Aston Villa<\/a>. He could do really well this week.<\/p>\n<p>Despite Norwich monumental victory against Manchester City last week, <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/2691c772\/Ashley-Barnes\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ashley Barnes<\/a> (\u00a36.7) owners should expect a goal or two from him. The Canaries lost quite convincingly in both of their away trips this season and Turf Moor is one of the toughest grounds to go to.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/21a66f6a\/Harry-Kane?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Harry Kane<\/a> (\u00a311.0) has not looked at his best so far this season.
