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.

      In my case it is a compulsion to own Baines without losing Ivan. The only way is to plunder Hazard. He was the slow, weak one that was easy to separate from the herd . . .

      The knee-jerk was getting him in the first place.

      Better the devil u know than the devil u don't. Having said that Ramirez will be one of the top, top scoring midfielders by the end of the season. So see the light, swap Hazard for Ramirez.

      I would sell Clyne for Rafael/Gibbs. I think both are great long term options and not unlikely to keep clean sheets this week, even playing Spurs/Chelsea. I don't see many clean sheets this week so I wouldn't chase one with a punt on Stoke, Villa etc.

      I did Tevez to Ba last week and am doing Jenks to Baines this week so I'd say B.

      He might be less of a d*ick if people threated him fairly.

        the guy falls over at every single oppotunity, like he has some kind of balance problem.

    Is it crazy to do pienaar + haang to sterling and Baines? Too sideways?
    Who would you downgrade to get Baines in?

    Michu
    Pienaar
    Hazard
    Yaya
    Hba
    Rvp
    Tevez

        That's very true its really to squeeze Baines in to be honest and my midfield is stacked so easiest place to downgrade.

      Getting Vidic instead of Rafael GW2 has hurt big time.

        Ha unlucky. But in general, i think he gets a lot of unfair criticism, especially from Utd fans.

    How was HBA and Cazorla and Bale?
    I have 9.5 to spend, who is the best choice?

    a)HBA
    b)Cazorla
    c)Bale

    I have no Newcastle, Arsenal and Spurs cover at all.
    Will most likely wildcard in the coming international break (GW8).

      HBA is great value! Got a fair lot of good fixtures too over long run.

      For 6 weeks or so I think Spurs have the better fixtures and Bale seems to be waking up so even though I have the other 2 I'm advising Bale.

        I am concerned about their fixtures in these three weeks.
        They have United, Villa and Chelsea before the international break. Not looking really good.
        Whereas Cazorla have Chelsea West Ham Norwich.
        Cazorla seems to have a better fixtures but Bale has higher potential to score?
        Newcastle have good fixtures too, but not sure how much involvement is HBA with their attack.

        Enlighten me please? thank you 🙂

    (If I say people don't listen when I say this often enough, I'll have to resort to plan B - RAMIREZ! OMG! He was amazing). Really. Fellani will score huge if stays as striker, but ramirez in same role and sure to stay that way.

    54pts 😀 not exceptional but happy with my defence (despite having Rafa on bench), now have the luxury of choosing a replacement for Graham out of the inform strikers between 6 - 7.5m 🙂
