<h2>FPL Gameweek 6 tips: Predicted points and captaincy picks</h2>
<p><strong>Erling Haaland </strong>tops <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI&#8217;s</a> predicted points list for Gameweek 6, making him the leading captaincy option for this week.</p>
<p>Many managers will also Triple Captain him.</p>
<p>He was as high as 8.9 but a midweek injury doubt flag following a reported back problem dropped him down a tad. See the team news section for full details.</p>
<p><strong>Mohamed Salah</strong> and <strong>Antoine Semenyo</strong> can&#8217;t be split and they&#8217;re a little way off Haaland&#8217;s projection, which is why the Manchester City forward is so popular.</p>
<p>City&#8217;s game is so highly rated that five of their squad make up the predicted points top 10.</p>
<div id="attachment_74981" style="width: 850px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-74981" class="wp-image-74981 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Top10-Predicted_points-bordered.jpeg" alt="Hub AI predicted points top 10" width="840" height="690" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Top10-Predicted_points-bordered.jpeg 840w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Top10-Predicted_points-bordered-300x246.jpeg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Top10-Predicted_points-bordered-768x631.jpeg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px" /><p id="caption-attachment-74981" class="wp-caption-text">Hub AI predicted points top 10</p></div>
<h2>FPL Gameweek 6 tips: Top transfer targets</h2>
<p>Haaland is the number-one transfer target for the weekend, with around 900,000 FPL managers and counting bringing him in.</p>
<p>This means compromises will have to be made and for nearly 500,000 fantasy fans, that means selling <strong>Mohamed Salah</strong>.</p>
<p>City top the Hub&#8217;s <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fixture-ticker">fixture ticker</a> over the next five gameweeks, while Liverpool rank bottom.</p>
<p>But what&#8217;s the best way to go about this swap? Read on to learn more about chip usage in Gameweek 6&#8230;</p>

<h2>FPL Gameweek 6 tips: Play a chip?</h2>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fpl-chip-strategy-guide"><strong>FPL chip strategy guide</strong></a></li>
</ul>
<p>We&#8217;re expecting a chip frenzy this week as FPL managers scramble to get Haaland into their teams.</p>
<p style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; word-break: break-word; text-align: left;">Wildcard, Free Hit and Triple Captain will be popular in Gameweek 6 but less so the Bench Boost, which could be used in the next few weeks.</p>
<p style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; word-break: break-word; text-align: left;">Here&#8217;s a quick rundown of the pros and cons of the key three:</p>
<h3>🃏 Wildcard 🃏</h3>
<ul>
<li style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; word-break: break-word; text-align: left;">✅Ditch under-performing players</li>
<li style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; word-break: break-word; text-align: left;">✅Deal with injuries</li>
<li style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; word-break: break-word; text-align: left;">❌Not the best entry point for some teams like Arsenal</li>
<li style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; word-break: break-word; text-align: left;">❌Waiting could unlock more information</li>
</ul>
<div id="attachment_74992" style="width: 746px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-74992" class="wp-image-74992 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/GW6-Wildcard.jpg" alt="An example Hub AI Wildcard team for Gameweek 6" width="736" height="687" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/GW6-Wildcard.jpg 736w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/GW6-Wildcard-300x280.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 736px) 100vw, 736px" /><p id="caption-attachment-74992" class="wp-caption-text">An example Hub AI Wildcard team for Gameweek 6</p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>👊 Free Hit 👊</h3>
<ul>
<li style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; word-break: break-word; text-align: left;"><strong>✅</strong>Target City players</li>
<li style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; word-break: break-word; text-align: left;"><strong>✅</strong>Jump on Forest before fixtures turn</li>
<li style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; word-break: break-word; text-align: left;"><strong>✅</strong>More assured minutes for Isak this week</li>
<li style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; word-break: break-word; text-align: left;"><strong>❌</strong>City have good longer-term fixtures too</li>
</ul>
<h3>🧢 Triple Captain 🧢</h3>
<ul>
<li style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; word-break: break-word;"><strong>✅</strong>Strong predicted points for Erling Haaland</li>
<li style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; word-break: break-word;">✅The Norwegian is in excellent form</li>
<li style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; word-break: break-word;"><strong>✅</strong><a style="text-decoration: underline;" href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fpl-gameweek-6-fixtures-tips-top-5-players-to-target" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Burnley&#8217;s weaknesses</a> align with Haaland&#8217;s strengths</li>
<li style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; word-break: break-word;"><strong>❌</strong>Other options including Haaland v Leeds in GW13 (9.0)</li>
<li style="font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; word-break: break-word;"><strong>❌</strong>Could be a <a style="text-decoration: underline;" href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fpl-blank-double-gameweek-guide" target="_blank" rel="noopener">double gameweek</a> on the horizon?</li>
