The Premier League is set to witness some interesting fixtures like Newcastle United vs Manchester City and Manchester United vs Tottenham Hotspur this weekend, among other games. Last Word on Football brings you three midfielders who you should transfer into your Gameweek 6 squad, with the FPL deadline set for 11:00 AM BST on September 28.
Three Midfielders to Transfer in for FPL Gameweek 6
Bukayo Saka (£10.0m)
Bukayo Saka has been a key part of Arsenal’s title charge this season. He has made a goal contribution in every league game, proving his importance to the team. Against Manchester City last weekend, it was his corner-kick that led to Arsenal scoring their second goal.
Saka looks to be the best choice for FPL contestants looking for a high-value midfield option this week. Others like Cole Palmer and Son Heung-min face tough fixtures against Brighton & Hove Albion and Manchester United respectively. The Arsenal winger, on the other hand, has a relatively easier game against the struggling Leicester City.

With Leicester likely to miss their first-choice centre-back Jannik Vestergaard, Saka should be among the goals on Saturday.
Luis Diaz (£7.9m)
Luis Diaz has been as influential for Liverpool as Mohamed Salah this season. The Colombian has five goals and an assist, accumulating 51 FPL points in the process, two more than his Egyptian team-mate.

Diaz should have no problem continuing his rich form against Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday. Wolves have the worst defensive record in the league along with Everton, conceding 14 goals and consequently sitting in the 20th place in the league table. Facing the Liverpool attack is going to be a nightmare for their defenders.
For £7.9m selecting Luis Diaz is a no-brainer for Gameweek 6. Aided by his fellow Liverpool attackers, the “fantastic” winger should comfortably be able to increase his goal tally for the season.
Emile Smith Rowe (£5.8m) – A Cost-Effective Option for Gameweek 6
After being unsatisfied with the game time at Arsenal, Emile Smith Rowe joined Fulham this summer. At his new club, the Englishman has been nothing but impressive. He seems to have formed an excellent bond with the other attackers and has scored twice and assisted once.

He was valued at £5.5m when the season began, and a series of commendable performances have seen his value increase by £0.3m. The game against Nottingham Forest will likely witness another good outing for Smith Rowe. With Morgan Gibbs-White suspended for the game, the former Gunner should enjoy more control in the centre of the pitch.
