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.

    Has all the points now been completely added? I was expecting to drop out the top 10k, but if thats all the points then I'm rather lucky. Still, peeved I didn't play Rafael.

              personally not convinced about how many goals newcastle are capable of scoring atm and their fixtures don't look plentiful... that said HBA is absolutely flying so is likely to be involved whenever they do score. getting rid of hazard is a big shout, but i think it could be a risk worth taking when considering you are getting in two excellent fantasy prospects for the price of one
