Fantasy Premier League 2026/27: Five players to axe ahead of Gameweek 6

The international break has given Fantasy Premier League managers plenty to think about. Injuries have hit several popular players, while some of the season's early stars are heading into much tougher fixtures.

With Gameweek 6 approaching, these are five players worth dumping from your rosters. Dominik Szoboszlai Price: 6.9m Ownership: 32.3% Position: Midfielder Opponent: MCI (H), BRE (A), BHA (H) Szoboszlai remains in roughly a third of FPL squads, but the numbers are getting harder to defend.

His only attacking return in five matches was a penalty against Newcastle in Gameweek 1. He has created three big chances, so the creativity is there, but has managed just one shot inside the box all season.

That is a problem for a 6.9m midfielder when cheaper alternatives are getting into far more dangerous positions. Liverpool now face Manchester City, Brentford and Brighton before Arsenal in Gameweek 9.

Even with his set-piece duties, there is little in that run to suggest a sudden surge in points. If your squad is otherwise healthy, Szoboszlai looks like a sensible sell.

Alexander Isak Price: 9.1m Ownership: 21.9% Position: Forward Opponent: MCI (H), BRE (A), BHA (H) Four goals in five matches is hardly a reason to panic, and Isak has certainly delivered for owners so far. The concern is what comes next.

The Liverpool forward returned from Sweden duty with a thigh problem, described by national team boss Graham Potter as minor, but his fitness for Gameweek 6 still needs confirming. At 9.1m, he is an expensive player to carry if there is serious doubt over his minutes.

The fixture list hardly offers much comfort either. Manchester City, Brentford and Brighton are up next, followed by Arsenal.

Isak can score against anyone, so this is a conditional sell rather than an automatic one. If the injury restricts his involvement, that money could be better spent elsewhere.
