It was an action-packed weekend in the EPL. At the moment, it looks like two Manchester clubs - Manchester City and Manchester United - are the ones to beat. Manchester City were the biggest winners of this last round, easily dispatching a strong Watford team 6 goals to nil while Manchester United seems to have a preference for a 4-0 scoreline this season (compared to the numerous 1-1 results they had last season). Aguero was the top performing player of the round with his hat-trick and an assist. He collected a total of 20 points.

It was a great week for midfielders, so I have opted for a 3-5-2 formation.

Top picks for week 6
Another great week of exciting matchups to look forward to. Crystal Palace, the only team in top-flight history to lose their first 5 matches without scoring a single goal, will face a huge challenge in the Etihad, where Mancity is always a favorite to win.
I am going to pick the best team based on the following conditions :
- Players form
- Difficulty of opponent
- Player must be priced £9 or lower
- A team cant have more than 3 players selected in the team
| Player | Position | Team | Price (£) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fabianski | Goalkeeper | Swansea | 4.5 |
| Valencia | Defender | Manutd | 6.5 |
| Bailly | Defender | Manutd | 6.2 |
| Davies | Defender | Tottenham | 5.7 |
| Alonso | Defender | Chelsea | 7.1 |
| Otamendi | Defender | Mancity | 5.6 |
| Mkhitaryan | Midfielder | Manutd | 8.5 |
| Gross | Midfielder | Brighton | 5.6 |
| David Silva | Midfielder | Mancity | 8.3 |
| Firminho | Forward | Liverpool | 8.7 |
| Rooney | Forward | Everton | 7.5 |
How they line up, I have opted for a 5-3-2 formation.
