Morgan Rogers (£7.8m) has become Chelsea's most-transferred-in player ahead of the Gameweek 6 deadline, with over 200,000 Fantasy Premier League managers adding the summer signing to their squads.

Rogers now features in just under 40 per cent of FPL squads and is the most-selected midfielder in the game. Against Brentford in Gameweek 5, no Chelsea player recorded a higher xGI than his 0.4 or more shots on goal (4). Among Blues players, he ranks joint-first for chances created (11) and shots on target (5).

For best value in defence, Wesley Fofana (£5.0m) is the only Chelsea defender to start every available match this season and ranks joint-first for defensive contributions among Blues players with 47. He averages 13.56 DefCons per 90, above the 10-point threshold for bonus points, yet only 0.2 per cent of managers have selected him.

In goal, Emi Martinez (£5.0m) has registered at least one save point in every Gameweek since his debut in GW2. No goalkeeper across the entire league has made more saves in that period.

For the captain's armband, Bukayo Saka (£9.6m) is the standout recommendation with Arsenal hosting Leeds at home. Saka has scored three goals in five matches, leads all midfielders with 4.19 xGI and six big chances, and has taken seven corners while creating seven chances. Arsenal scored nine goals without reply against Leeds last season.

Morgan Gibbs-White (£8.0m) offers an alternative option as Nottingham Forest travel to Crystal Palace. The midfielder has registered three attacking returns in the last four Gameweeks, takes penalties for Forest, and leads the league with five big chances created. Nearly 100,000 managers have already brought him in. Crystal Palace rank bottom for expected goals conceded among all teams.
