WATCH: City's recent home Premier League goals against Burnley

CITY STAR

Jeremy Doku (£6.4m) can thrive for Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers when Manchester City host Burnley in Gameweek 6 (GW6).

In GW5 Doku registered a match-leading seven take-ons and came joint top for chances created (two). He also registered a shot and came in the top 10 expected goal (xG) underperformers chart, suggesting he was unlucky not to return.

So far this season only two midfielders have produced more than Doku’s two assists, while he ranks fourth for take-ons (20) and eighth for chances created (nine).

Opponents Burnley have conceded 85 crosses from their right flank, more than any other side. A statistic that Doku will be primed to exploit.

ONE TO WATCH

In the opening five matches only Erling Haaland (£14.3m) has scored more goals than Burnley’s Jayden Anthony (£5.5m). Anthony’s three goals and one assist make him the second-highest scoring midfielder in FPL.

DIFFERENTIALS

Elsewhere, Everton's Iliman Ndiaye (£6.5m) and Spurs' Xavi Simons (£7.1m) and are low-owned gems who can return points in Gameweek 6.

Ndiaye has recorded two goals and an assist for the Toffees, and faces a West Ham side who have conceded the most goals in the league so far.

Xavi has already produced an assist and against Brighton on GW5 managed three shots in a 34-minute cameo.
