FPL tips & team of the week: Brennan Johnson, Evanilson and Bryan Mbeumo are great value this week

David Raya, Arsenal, keeper, £5.6m – home to Southampton

This is the second of Arsenal’s plum home games in a row and, despite last week’s disappointment, they are the team most likely to keep a clean sheet in gameweek seven.

Taking Raya is a hefty investment, but he has been worth it this season with three clean sheets and also six bonus points.

Riccardo Calafiori, Arsenal, defender, £5.8m – home

Justin James (Leicester City): I don’t remember him having much to do defensively, with all the troubles coming down Arsenal’s right. He then popped in the second half with a decent header for his first goal, while the volley he hit to equalise was unbelievable. So much could’ve gone wrong with that but the technique was excellent.

Micky van de Ven (Tottenham Hotspur): This is the second time he’s been

    FPL tips and team of the week: Bukayo Saka the best captain choice for Gameweek Six

    By Total Football News

    Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, midfielder, £10m – home to Leicester City

    This man is about as reliable as they come in FPL. A return every game so far but still feels like he has yet to hit top form.

    Why captain Saka over Haaland? This is a tricky call and it’s fine to play things safer with Manchester City’s star man.

    Saka, who scored 16 goals last season, is an

    Emi Martinez, Aston Villa, keeper, £5m – home to Wolves

    Clean sheets have been so hard to predict this season.

    Gameweek four saw six of them from the 10 games, which means we’ve had 18 in 40 games – or clean sheets for 18 teams from a potential 80!

    There’s no standout keeper this week but Martinez has been a big-game performer in the past and derby games can be

    Axel Tuanzebe (Ipswich): He absolutely dealt with Kaoru Mitoma. He is obviously really good – excellent defending and he did well going forward. He contributed to another clean sheet for Ipswich on the road.

    Matthijs de Ligt (Manchester United): He struggled at the start, got found out in one-on-one situations with Kyle Walker-Peters and got sent to the shops. But his goal sent United on their way, plus another clean

    While Arsenal were still solid without Rice at the heart of their midfield, they did miss Odegaard’s creative nous and calmness on the ball.

    “It’s hard to compare him and Trossard, because they are very different players,” Walcott explained.

    “Trossard, for me, is probably the best finisher at the club – but Odegaard is the conductor, the one who gets everything working and gets everyone in the team working at

    Noel Gallagher designs Manchester City kit: Players and Pep Guardiola team up for new photo shoot

    By Total Football News

    Oasis guitarist Noel Gallagher says it was a “proper honour” to design Manchester City’s new fourth kit, which was inspired by his band’s 1994 debut album Definitely Maybe.

    “I think it’s unique, but it’s definitely striking and I think it looks great,” he added.

    The 57-year-old announced last month that he and brother Liam have ended their 15-year feud and reformed for a sell-out tour in 2025.

    By Total Football News

    Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, midfielder, £8.4m – away at Southampton

    The underlying statistics are screaming out for us to pick Fernandes this week.

    The Manchester United talisman has been unlucky to have no returns so far this season.

    His xGI is two, he has had eight shots (Salah has had just nine and scored three times), four in the box and two big chances.

    Couple that with Southampton’s defence, which
