6. matchweek: Man City beat Liverpool away 3–0 · no clear upsets
Highest-scoring round of the season: 3.6 goals per match, more than in 86 % of rounds in 2021–26 (176 rounds). Concerns to the watch-list: Liverpool (5.), Bournemouth (6.). One round is not a trend, but deviations against last season's placings deserve tracking. Results from round data, placings from last season's result rows. ● matchweek 6

The same observation at three depths: for the fan “star on the pitch”, for fantasy “captain”, for the analyst “a hard feed into the compound”.
Fantasy implication
A fitness concern shows up as benching risk, so pick a vice-captain in advance.
