FPL tips for GW6 2026/27: captain picks Haaland, Saka or Groß?

FPL tips for GW6: the captain picks. The TACTIX model’s Fantasy Premier League captain options for Gameweek 6, ahead of the deadline at Sat 10 Oct 11:00 UK. The rule was fixed before the numbers: the captain options are the highest-projected midfielders and forwards in the TACTIX XI without a doubt flag. Ownership says what kind of pick each is — a shield (most managers have him) or a sword (few do).

Captain option 1: Haaland

MCI, FWD, LIV (A). A shield: owned by 74% — captaining him protects your rank against most managers.

The projection has Haaland on 5.8 points against LIV (A) — the TACTIX projection for Gameweek 6. The model gives him a 44% chance of a goal against LIV (A). On his last five club matches he is projected 90 minutes. Form: 39 FPL points in his last five club matches. Penalties are his: first in FPL’s penalty order, and counted in the projection.

Captain option 2: Saka

ARS, MID, LEE (H). Owned by 14.9% — neither the template nor a true differential.

Saka is projected 5.63 points against LEE (H) (the TACTIX projection for Gameweek 6). The model gives him a 34% chance of a goal against LEE (H). Expected minutes: 83, read from his last five club matches. Form: 32 FPL points in his last five club matches. He is first on penalties (FPL’s penalty order), which the projection counts.

Captain option 3: Groß

BHA, MID, SUN (A). A shield: owned by 31.2% — captaining him protects your rank against most managers.

The projection has Groß on 5.48 points against SUN (A) — the TACTIX projection for Gameweek 6. The model gives him a 30% chance of a goal against SUN (A). Expected minutes: 90, read from his last five club matches. Form: 47 FPL points in his last five club matches. He is first on penalties (FPL’s penalty order), which the projection counts.

The defence pick

Tarkowski (EVE, DEF) — the highest-projected goalkeeper or defender without a doubt flag.
