BBC Sport's Fantasy Premier League expert Pras gives his answers to some of the biggest dilemmas facing managers heading into gameweek six. Despite being the most sold player of the international break, Chelsea forward Pedro is still owned by about 65% of FPL managers. From a points-per-million point of view he remains one of the best picks in the game, and Chelsea's fixture run is excellent for a long stretch.
Unless manager Xabi Alonso rules him out completely, I would hold and use the bench. This is a tough week for captaincy. Erling Haaland is away at Liverpool.
Cole Palmer is home to Bournemouth. Bukayo Saka has the Saturday lunchtime kick-off at home to Leeds. Bruno Fernandes is at home to Spurs.
Fernandes has the best fixture and the best chance of a big score, but not many own him. Of the rest, you can talk me into any of them. I am leaning safe and sticking with Haaland.
Even in a tougher game, if Man City score he should be the one involved. If I wanted to be different, I would look at Saka or Palmer, both at home. What puts me off Saka is the possible Havertz injury that will impact their attack, plus an early kick-off straight after a long break.
What puts me off Palmer is Joao Pedro. If he is not fit, the Chelsea attack suffers, as we saw in gameweek five against Brentford. The Arsenal defender has a slight niggle from the England camp.
