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…

Kompany -> Baines worth -4?
Looks like Baines up tonight (maybe more) and Kompany is about to go down...Open Controls-
I would

Federici Friedel
Boyce ACole STaylor Hangeland Cuellar
Michu Bale Toure Cazorla Noble
Torres Tevez Graham
Im thinking
Torres + Graham + Friedel to Fletcher + Berbatov/Crouch + Howard
For a 4pt hit.
DOES THAT LOOK ABOUT RIGHT??Open Controls -
Pretty much decided on Vermaelen > Baines.
Is it worth doing tonight to avoid a 0.1 price rise?
Or should I wait til after Everton vs Leeds just in case...Open Controls-
Everton will probably rest alot of their players, atleast some of the top ones. But generally, its just down to if you think the money is worth the risk. Baines probably will go up atleast 0.2, maybe even 0.3 and thats alot of value to lose. Obviously if something happens with Baines or elsewhere in your squad, you`re going to wish you didnt :p
Open Controls -
Do it tonight.

Current Team:
Foster-Vorm
Lescott-Cashley-Gibbs-Demel-Cuellar
Santi-Michu-Bale-Yaya-N Dyer
Tevez-Torres-Pog
Thinking of:
1. Torres –> Lambert/Ba/Berbatov?
2. Dyer –> Pienaar/Fellaini/Barfa?
3. Lescott –> Saylor/Baines?
Pick the three that get swapped in. -4 hit.Open Controls -

I'm tempted by Pienaarmyself. Even over RVP or Baines. Not really considering Tevez as an option

have u ever drunk in 'goblets' in southampton?

Both good captain choices I reckon. Neither edge RVP vs Spurs though for me. Utd have scored 21 goals in the last 8 meetings with Spurs. Not usually one for that sort of 'ancient history' stat - but that's pretty compelling evidence that it's at least as open a game as you imagine they are.
Open Controls-
Yeah except I'm a Spurs fan so really don't want to captain RVP this week 🙂 Can see RVP getting taken off around the 60 minute mark if they're winning also considering they have Champions league game in midweek.

I've planned for a while to do Bale to Cazorla this week. Not too sure i should do it now

Keeping till 10. Bale always scores in bunches.

Damn you Newcastle players for being nice, cost me 5 or 6 pts by not giving hba the penalty taking duty

Sat here tempting to wild card. Anyone see any reason to trundle on.
Feel I need Baines, Pienner, RVP, Santi plus more if I thought about it.

for those buying sterling. . .if the intention is to play him, wouldn't that mean benching a potential heavy hitter from midfield?
Open Controls-
I bought a couple of weeks back. Logic being
1. He's going to go up in value as the casuals will swoop as he's cheap enough to afford, plus Allen is on relatively high ownership so it's an obvious swap.
2. He's a bencher for me for most part but is going to star the two good homes coming up. May miss some points when he's on bench but also seems better chance of getting points when I do need (got me assist when AJ didn't play last week).Open Controls

Just done Snodgrass to Sterling, and Zabs to Baines for a hit, leaves .5, does that sound sensible?
Open Controls-
Good shout lad
Open Controls -
Yes.
Open Controls-
Can't believe Fellaini may rise tonight again.
Was on 91% at midnight last night so thought I could make decision today, then he bloody rose.
Potential he could tonight too.
If he comes in it's for Hazard or AJ. Never wanted Hazard and got him as "defensive move" in case I was wrong and then everyone else stormed ahead (got excited and captained this week though).
He gut says Hazard > Fellaini but last season I had another Johnson (Glen) for a long time when he "wasn't injured" but then wasn't fit to play for 6 weeks...........Open Controls -

best goal keeper combo going forward ? any advice

Is anyone here worse than 634k with a WC gone up in smoke? No? Didn't think so!
Anyway, when times are this bad in FPL, I've found that saving a transfer to have two next week starts the calming process. Slowly rebuild and regroup, I say.
I have a screenshot from last season and I was 824k after GW5 and I finished top 2k so there's always hope.
Onwards and upwards 🙁Open Controls-
Im around 370k, having a shocker. Still not worried though lol. Being an avid Sir Alex admirer, I save my best for after xmas anyway 😉

Anyone noticed this?
Shelvey was sent off at 38:58 (38+58=96)
Gerrard scored at 45:51(45+51=96)
Rafael scored at 51:45(51+45=96)
RVP scored at 80:16(80+16=96)
Justice for the 96?Open Controls-
Everyone's just made up the seconds bit to make it add up to 96. Spooky!
Open Controls-
Please. I'm an actuary. I don't simply "make up" figures. 🙄
Open Controls-
Seeing as how RVP scored at 80:11, I'd suggest you be fired. 😀

Considering Lescott to Baines but with -0.1m left I'll have to transfer out Lallana or Graham for Kaca/Rodallega ? Best option ?
Open Controls -
Anyone else considering transferring out Hazard this week?
Open Controls-
Had more pressing matters this week, but he's got two weeks now and I'll be taking him out I think.
Open Controls

Got 1.4m burning a hole in my pocket. Considering Michu > Barfa or Nolan > Fellani this week. Thoughts?
Open Controls-
Hm tough one, but im sticking with Michu for a few more weeks, even though theyre severly dropping in form. Next two home games look so tasty and hes their main threat.
Open Controls-
You're right on the fixtures. Think he needs to be dropped after that though, got a tough run. He wasn't in the game at all yesterday, but Swansea were poor overall.

Just done Torres -> Ba for -4, and it feels goooood.
Now, with 2.5 in the bank, is it worth ditching either Michu or Dyer (next week: stk) for an extra -4? Could stretch to Bale/Caz or Yaya/HBA.Open Controls-
Dyer perhaps. He`s gonna drop, and 3 games out. Take the value gained and get Cazorla, just bc you will want him after Chelsea game anyway.
