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.

    Michu was a bandwagon, but a good attacking midfielder. Fellani and Ramirez are playing as strikers, but
    have been incorrectely designated as midfielders.

        I keeping Michu. But will wager an internet million that Ramirez will out-score him over course of season.

        (I once got awarded £365,000 internet poker money by mistake, which was odd as people I were playing against paid for thier money themselves).

          I know. He's a playmaker like Modric but a much better finisher and Modric never had set pieces. I'm happy to keep him for now. And Arsenal have looked great so far, so imo he's their best cover.

      I think Sterling is the best mid for that price + good fixtures! And Baines is always a good choice but keep Jenkinson till Sagna returns, he can still bring some points! And for Michu, after next match Swansea have two home games in which he can score, I also have him and will sell him when these two matches were played! 🙂

    On a WC, Can't decide between Fellaini and Pienaar. I had Pienaar already and I think he's a bargain. I don't know if Fellaini will keep up this attacking form when Jelavic gets back. Pienaar is such a threat for assists, but then I will have Baines.

    There's a few tricky ones
