With leagues across Fantasy Premier League (FPL), Sky Sports and Sun Dream Team there is plenty to catch up on following the international break. We look at those who have excelled during Gameweek 5 and those who are a little richer after having a great week in our PlayON game.

Fantasy Premier League

We have a new entry straight in at top spot in the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game. Hemant Gosavi racked up 57 points last weekend, with Chelsea duo Oscar and John Terry both returning double-figure hauls, while Swansea’s Ben Davies and Arsenal’s in-form Aaron Ramsey also produced as Hemant clinched fifth spot in the overall standings, with 378 points so far.

Tarik Alibou sits in second after a Gameweek 5 score of 59. Seven of his players scored five points or more, with Yaya Toure, Per Mertesacker, Ross Barkley and Davies his chief protagonists. Stuart Hartley slips to third despite double-figure hauls from both Michu and Mesut Ozil in midfield, Ed C rockets into fourth in the Scout league after an incredible 82 points last weekend and Hafisi Nazir completes the top five, sitting on 359 points overall. Thanks to the efforts of our featured managers, Fantasy Football Scout remains at the top of the best leagues – the code to join is 1580-1106.

Wasana Busby moves to the top of the Fantasy Football Scout Members league with an overall score of 340 – Barkley, Toure, Terry and Jan Vertonghen all delivered last weekend. Corey Silveira slips to second after a 40-point haul in Gameweek 5, while Ivan Heneghan is a new entry in third spot – Per Mertesacker and Michu were his main performers from the previous weekend’s action.

In the Contributors and Moderators league, Andy is back at the top, with his faith in big-money defenders Vertonghen and Leighton Baines proving a wise decision. Big Dunc moves into second after playing his wildcard – the decision to captain Ozil harvested 28 of his 65 points in Gameweek 5.

Sky Sports Fantasy Football

Nick Whitrid remains in pole position in our Sky Sports league. Having reached the summit last week, he has now moved 22 points ahead of second-placed Leo Reid on 435 points; Nick in joint-sixteenth in the overall standings. In third place in the Scout league is Josie O’Neil, who is four points off Leo on 409 points. The winner of our Sky league, which is top of the league of leagues, wins £1,000.

The Sun Dream Team

Lee Walpole remains at the top of our Sun Dream Team with a score of 431 points – his ploy to load up on six Spurs and three Arsenal players has certainly proven the correct tactic so far. Paul Williams is back in second on 397 points – all 11 of his players are from Tottenham – while John David Nicol takes third spot, with all but two of his players representing the north London duo.

PlayON

Chris Robinson was the winner of PlayON’s £1,000 guaranteed game last weekend. He picked up a haul of £300 thanks to his decision to load up on three of Chelsea’s backline and Leighton Baines, while Stephane Sessegnon, Bacary Sagna and Yohan Cabaye – all highlighted in our picks article last week – ensured Chris was in the money. Tony Biswas earned second spot and a cash prize of £200, while Lionel Payne’s third place finish resulted in a £119 pay-out.

In our exclusive Fantasy Football Scout PlayON £2 game a total of £114 was on the table. Chris Robinson cleaned up here, too, earning £39.74, while Paul Thornden (£26.64) and Jason Turner (£20.16) took second and third spot respectively.

          Not sure if it was the system that worked or that Suarez's movement was so excellent it made it work.

          I think I might take the plunge but not sure how well suited he is to the hole.

          Had some nice touches and should have scored with his header. It was an improvement on the Soton game at any rate (by all accounts)

      See above - I hope they drop a bomb, one way or the other. If he's out, FT used to get Rooney in & captain him. If he's in, save FT & captain RVP. If he's "got a chance of making it" or "we're giving him all the time we can before deciding", it's probably RVP out, Rooney in... and then RVP will start and score a hattrick. Sod's law 🙂

    I'm not playing my wildcard, but I have a few issues. Already used the FT for Walcott > Ozil, and currently have £0 in the bank.

    Boruc / Foster*
    Coleman / Collins / Toure / Baker / Chester*
    Ozil / Eriksen / Brady / Barfa / Morrison
    RVP* / Benteke* / Sturridge

    Not entirely sure how to play this.

    A) Benteke > Lukaku, hope RVP plays. If not, get Morrison off the bench. Offers added headache of who to captain, because if RVP makes the bench and comes on for a 1-pointer...

    B) RVP > Rooney(C). Bench Benteke for this week, and play Morrison.

    Morning gents,

    WC draft 3789,

    Migs (Boruc)
    Clyne Coleman Vidic (Mert) (Turner Cardiff)
    Ramsey Paulinho Oscar Michu (Barkley)
    Rooney Suarez Lukaku

    Been trying to build a team for the long term with solid mids (usually play 343). I've had Ozil in for most of the week but downgrading him gets me Paulinho and Oscar. Would you stick with Ozil (Barkley and Brady in for Paulinho and Oscar) for this week and bring them in over the next weeks?

    Have also been toying with Aguero for Suarez with a cheaper mid replacement for Paulinho...opinion on the site seems to be Suarez but then Aguero looked quality last week.

    Cheers

    As much as I hate to say it, the chance of getting any solid RvP news today is slim 🙁

    Views on Silva+Soldado -> Moses+Rooney for -8 hit?

    Don't have any other Man U or Liv attacking coverage.

    Thanks!

    Latest attempt:

    Mignolet // Lewis

    Vidic // Dawson // Clyne // Turner // Rosenoir

    Özil // Michu // Eriksen // Barkley // Morrison

    Rooney // Suarez // Giroud

    Criticisms? It involves transferring out Coleman which doesn't feel right, but 0 in the bank.
