Caveat: Haaland is currently flagged as a doubt for Gameweek 6 with a back injury but is expected to be available.
The top scoring FPL asset with 46 FPL points, Haaland has dominated all the underlying numbers over the opening five Gameweeks. No player has scored more goals (six) or had more shots in the box (20) than the Norwegian international, while he's also top for shots on target (10), 'big chances' (10) and 'Expected Goals' (xG) (5.06).
As shown in the Transfer Analytics feature, he is currently the most transferred-in player this week.
Man City have scored nine goals so far (fifth), the Manchester side are ranked second for 'big chances' (14) with only Chelsea (15) faring better.
Their visitors, Burnley, have conceded eight goals (16th) and have kept just one clean sheet. No side have allowed opponents more shots in the box (61) than the Clarets who are also bottom for 'Expected Goals Conceded' (xGC) (10.93).
Our Predicted Points & Stats tool currently projects a score of 7.2 for Haaland.
Salah has had an underwhelming start to the season by his standards, but the Egyptian international is still fourth amongst Midfielders for FPL points (30) with two goals and two assists.
As shown in the below image from our Opta Stats Sandbox, he is top for shots on target (four) and 'big chances' created (three) amongst Liverpool players. While only Gakpo (eight) has attempted more shots in the box than his seven.
Liverpool have scored more goals than any other side (11) this season, the reigning Champions are second for shots (71) only to Man United (81).
Their hosts, Palace, have conceded just two goals (first) and have kept three clean sheets. The Eagles are ranked ninth for shots conceded (55) and fifth for xGC (5.05).
According to our Predicted Points & Stats tool, Salah is projected to score 5.1 points.
Wood found the back of the net twice on the opening day, but has yet to score for Forest since. As the below image from our Match Centre feature shows the New Zealand international leads the way amongst their players for goals (two), xG (2.1) and shots on target (five).
Forest have scored only five goals in as many matches (14th), but will be looking to improve on that with a more attacking minded manager in Postecoglou. The Nottingham side are currently ranked 15th for shots in the box (35) and eighth for 'big chances' (nine).
Their visitors Sunderland have conceded just four goals (fifth) and have kept two clean sheets. The Black Cats are ranked fourth for shots in the box conceded (30) and eighth for xGC (5.90).
Our Predicted Points & Stats tool currently projects a score of 4.6 for Wood.
Grealish has looked revitalised at Everton, with no player across the league registering more assists than his four over the opening five matches.
As shown in the below image from our Opta Stats Sandbox, B. Fernandes (15) is the only player to have created more chances than his 13, while only Brooks (four) has created more 'big chances' than his three.
Everton have scored six goals over the opening five Gameweeks (sixth) and are ranked ninth for xG (6.85).
Their opponents West Ham have conceded more goals (13) than any other side and have kept just one clean sheet. The Hammers are ranked 19th for both shots in the box conceded (52) and xGC (8.97).
According to our Predicted Points & Stats tool, Grealish is projected to score 4.2 points this Gameweek.
Tarkowski has yet to register an attacking return this season, but West Ham's recent defending of set-pieces should offer plenty of hope for the England international. He attempted 15 shots in the box last season with no Everton defender taking more.
Everton have conceded five goals (sixth) and have kept two clean sheets, the Toffees are ranked 10th for shots in the box conceded (37) and 14th for xGC (7.35).
Their visitors West Ham have scored five goals in as many matches (14th), the Hammers are ranked 14th for shots (51) and 15th for xG (5.39).
Our Predicted Points & Stats tool currently projects a 50% chance of an Everton clean sheet and a point score of 4.8 for Tarkowski.
