🤩 EOTK FPL Gameweek 6 Review 🤩: Botman the difference-maker? Son now a must-have? You're a fool if you don't pick Salah...

Who's topping the EOTK League? Which teams and LFC stars are winning ALL the points! Find out all this and more below!

Welcome to Empire’s Fantasy Premier League review! Let’s see how the league’s shaping up!

So, let’s quickly explain how this all works. Every single gameweek we’ll be reviewing the live leaderboard (below) and sharing the top ten players in the EOTK League and matching it up against our writers’ efforts!

For those trying out FPL for the first time, GOAL advise players to keep in mind the following ranges when tracking their scores:

“FPL gurus and seasoned managers generally agree that averaging 50-59 points every gameweek is the bare minimum target. A gameweek score between 60-75 points is considered good, and between 76-99 points are excellent. 100 points or more is an outstanding achievement that falls into winner's bracket.

“Using the gameweek's average score as a benchmark is potentially a more effective method since it changes automatically each week and makes it easier to track your progress. By attaining the gameweek's average points throughout the season, you will at least be in the top half by the end of the season.”

You’ll see weekly updates on the Liverpool players bringing in the most points on average, plus the BIG hitters from the other fixtures across the Premier League (watch out for Kaoru Mitoma, Kieran Trippier and Son Heung-min this week!).

Did you know? Kaoru Mitoma’s 39 FPL points currently puts him in this year’s Team of the Season

💬 How many of you have stuck with Kaoru Mitoma from Gameweek 1? If not the Brighton man, who has kept your faith since the start of the season?

As ever, we’re supplying weekly form rankings, so you can get an idea of the players that are beginning to hit form at the right moment, hopefully, before their transfer fees soar through the roof!

⚔️ You vs Empire’s writers ⚔️

🎖️ A 14-point gap last week, Mark O’Rourke has expanded it to 17 points over Sean Keogh with Ronan McDermott dropping down to third! Congrats, Mark!

🥇 448 points - ISimplyAmNotThere FC (Mark O’Rourke)

All unchanged barring a couple of masterful tweaks from the back with Sven Botman transferred in and Pervis Estupinan subbed on from the bench - inspired decisions, Mark!

🥈 431 points - Darwinter is Coming (Sean Keogh)

Welcome to the top three, Sean! Talk about your high-performing backlines!

🥉 430 points - Six and the City (Ronan McDermott)

It seems Sven Botman is a popular choice… if you haven’t included him in your FPL team yet, you might be well-advised to! Congrats to Ronan for fielding the most team of the weekers in his starting-XI!
