FPL Gameweek 6: Injuries & News Update — 27 Sep
This is the team news as it stood on this date. The latest FPL team news →
The call — GW6 team news: 13 flagged at 75%, Elanga out with no return date João Pedro carries a knee flag into GW6. FPL logged it on 16 September: 75% chance of playing. About 6.5 in 10 managers own him at £7.7m. He is the most-owned flagged player this week by a distance.
What has not being with FFIQ cost you this season?
One squad, picked before a ball was kicked and run for five gameweeks on three transfers — no hits taken. Scored on FPL’s own results.

Chelsea have two more. Palmer (£9.7m, about 2.5 in 10) has a muscular problem, flagged 21 September, 75%. James (£5.4m, about 0.5 in 10) has a hamstring flag from 18 September, also 75%.
Arsenal have three. Havertz (£7.6m) — hamstring, 75%, logged 24 September. Rice (£7.4m) — unspecified, 75%, logged 21 September. White (£5.5m) — groin, 75%, logged 20 September. Ownership on Rice sits at about 1 in 10; Havertz just under.
Sunderland report Ballard (£4.9m) and Brobbey (£5.7m) with hamstring issues, both at 75%, logged 24–25 September. Manchester United list Rashford (unspecified) and Šeško (shin), both £7.0m, both 75%, both owned by fewer than 2 in 100 managers. Semenyo (£8.4m, about 1.5 in 10) has an ankle flag from 24 September, 75%. Pedro Porro (£5.4m) and van Ewijk (£4.0m) complete the hamstring list, both 75%.
One player is ruled out. Elanga (£6.1m, about 0.5 in 10) has been flagged since 14 September with an unspecified injury and no return date. He has missed the period since without a timeline.
The calls. Elanga is the move: no return date means no points, so sell him now rather than carry a blank into GW6 and beyond. Every other name on this list carries a 75% chance per FPL — that grade means the club expects them available, so hold João Pedro, hold Palmer, hold Semenyo, and do not burn transfers on 75% flags. The one action to take before the deadline: check your bench order. If you own two or more from the same flagged club — Chelsea and Arsenal owners in particular — put a confirmed starter first on the bench. Sell Elanga. Keep the rest.
