Manchester United loses again: how Igor Thiago sent the devils into crisis.

According to The Sun: GAMEWEEK 6 is still ongoing, as there are nine matches of European teams ahead next week.

However, Dream Team managers are already starting to think about their next steps after another exciting weekend in the Premier League.

We have gathered interesting statistics from Saturday and Sunday’s matches that might affect your decisions in this gameweek and strategies moving forward.

Feeling blue

Saturday was a day Trevoh Chalobah (4.1m) would like to forget, as he is one of the most popular defenders in Dream Team.

The Chelsea center-back received a straight red card in the 53rd minute for preventing a goal.

As a result, the 'Blues' lost 1-3, despite leading 1-0 before.

As a result, Chalobah got minus four points — a dreadful display for owners.

This season, the 26-year-old player started strong, scoring 35 points in the first three matches, but since then he has only collected eight points in five appearances.

Chalobah wasn’t the only popular player to earn negative points on Saturday. Bruno Fernandes (£6m), the sixth most popular midfielder, finished the match with minus one point after missing a penalty at Gtech.

Deepest sympathies to those who had both Chalobah and Fernandes in their squads.

Busy bee

Igor Thiago (£3.3m) was the architect of another defeat for Manchester United.

The Brentford forward scored twice, contributing to his team’s 3-1 win in West London.

The Brazilian has actively made a name for himself following the departures of Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa — he now has five goals in all competitions.

At the time of writing, only Erling Haaland (£7.7m) can boast a higher number of goals this season 2025/26.

Leaders

As for the Manchester City forward, he added 21 points to his tally by scoring two goals at home against Burnley, but this was only enough for second place in terms of scoring this weekend.

First place went to Sean Longstaff (£2.7m), who had an outstanding game during the 2-2 match with Leeds against Bournemouth.

The former Newcastle midfielder assisted for the first goal of the 'whites' and scored the second, and he also made the most tackles in the game (six) while earning the maximum bonus points thanks to seven accurate interceptions.

Longstaff finished the match with 22 points and is now only one point behind Jack Grealish (£3.8m), Tijjani Reijnders (£4.6m), and Mohamed Kudus (£4.9m) in the overall standings.

Dribbling Doku

The Belgian international from Man City, although he didn't score in the match against Burnley, brought huge benefits to his supporters by earning 17 points thanks to two assists.

Like Longstaff, Doku earned maximum bonus points, but through successful dribbles (eight attempts, to be precise), not through successful interceptions.

No one doubts the winger's ability to outplay an opponent, but critics have questioned the quality of his crosses.

However, this season he has one goal-scoring action every 88.8 minutes.

Only Kudus has completed more successful dribbles than Doku in all competitions this season.

Lone wolf

The Wolves failed to achieve their first league win due to a late equalizer from João Palhinha (£3.7m), but Santiago Bueno (£2.6m) deserves special praise for his efforts.

The Uruguayan defender impressed with his performance — he made eight tackles and earned 13 points.

Interestingly, Palhinha is joint leader for tackles (26) this season alongside Moisés Caicedo (£4.7m).

What a find!

And finally, applause for Robin Røefs (£2.7m).

The Sunderland goalkeeper made six saves over the weekend, which was a key contribution to his team’s clean sheet at City Ground.

The young keeper could have played better in the match against Matty Cash (£3.9m) in Gameweek 5, but he has already compensated for this during the game against Nottingham Forest.

Røefs started the season as one of the cheapest players in the game, and those who chose him as an affordable option have reaped good rewards.

He ranks fourth in his position with 39 points, just two points behind David Raya (£4.8m), who started as the most expensive goalkeeper.
