Arsenal’s battling performance at the Etithad and a dramatic second-half turnaround at the Lane bring Gameweek 5 to a close. Our members can now let the dust settle on their Fantasy scores before gorging on all the stats from all the weekend’s matches, or just read on for the numbers that piqued our interest…

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Thoughts on these moves for next week? Jenkinson & Hazard > G.Johnson & Fellaini. Would leave me with the following team for GW6 (2 free transfers, 0.9m in the BANK):

    Begovic(SWA)
    Rafael(TOT) Baines(SOT) Johnson(nor)
    Cazorla(CHE) Michu(stk) Fellaini(SOT) Sterling(nor)
    Berbatov(MCI) Van Persie(TOT) Tevez(ful)

    What ya reckon? I know bringing in a Liverpool player might not be the most popular transfer but their next 3 games look very nice, particularly from a clean sheet perspective (nor, STK RDG) ... would be tough to pick 3 more goal shy opponents.

      "We have three classy centre backs, and it is a very difficult choice. Koscielny, Mertesacker and Vermaelen - no matter who is left out can feel it is not right. But I will rotate them and take into consideration the strikers we will face."

      ....so with this in mind, and that Sagna will return soon, I would go Gibbs. Gibbs is also fairly attacking...!

    Cazorla, Barfa, Fellaini, Yaya, Sterling
    RVP, Tevez, Fletcher

    Happy with mid and attack for the mo, but fancy a defence reshuffle with Vorm --> Foster, and probably Hangeland, Vlaar and Harte out to alternatives - assume not worth a wildcard as can put out a decentish team for next week and do it with a hit or two over a couple of weeks?

      The obvious answer is that it's hard to say. Last week, Pienaar looked the far greater threat. This week, Fellaini did. They are both great options. Fellaini with slightly greater goal potential.

      I'm looking at getting Fellaini in this week (already have Pienaar). Trouble is, I'm not willing to ship Michu out in advance of a run where I fully expect him to be back in the goals. Considering Yaya to Fellaini, but not thrilled to lose Yaya either.

      Good to see the template squad busted. Lots of options now.

          I like the security of Yaya. Quality player on a quality team (stating the obvious). I also like that he is as likely to score against top squads as lower teams ... but I might have to begrudingly ship him to make way for Fellaini (with the bonus being more funds to spend elsewhere). That being said, with budget strikers making a case to oust rotation-prone Man U & Man City strikers ... I have no idea what to do with my extra funds. Strangely, I might end up with heavy hitters at the back (something I generally avoid).
