Gameweek 5 concludes at Old Trafford as Manchester United’s Fantasy assets bid to end our weekend with a series of hauls.

Romelu Lukaku is undoubtedly the big draw. Still by far the top player, he remains part of 2.8 million squads and is backed by 1.4 million with the captaincy (30.1%).

However, having been the dominant captain all season, his Gameweek 5 support is at its lowest since the opening weekend of the season when he was backed by 28% of managers.

In addition, despite scoring six goals in six outings in all competitions, Lukaku’s ownership continues to slide.

The Belgian suffered a net loss of 72,000 owners ahead of Friday’s deadline and has so far been sold by another 38,000 managers before kicking a ball in Gameweek 5. Over 28,000 of those managers have made the move to Manchester City’s Sergio Aguero, with the Argentine’s hat-trick putting real pressure on Lukaku today. Fail to deliver returns and sales will surely pick up pace.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan also needs to produce.

The Armenian has been the major benefactor in FPL terms from Paul Pogba’s injury, gaining more than 321,000 new owners – second only to Spurs’ Ben Davies for Gameweek 5.

But following the 11-point tally from City’s David Silva in yesterday’s 6-0 win at Watford, Mkhitaryan owners will be keen to see their man produce a return without the influence of Pogba alongside him.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

  8. Ghost Gooner

    1. Limbo
      • 15 Years

    'OFFSIDE! Martian finds space on the right flank and he whips a cross into the box. '

    Brilliant typo by goal.com

  13. TheBusDriver
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Rashford and Mkhi have another mare.

  14. Rinseboy
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    seriously considering Lukaku and Mikky to Aguero and Salah for a -4?

    too jerky?!

    1. JONALDINHO
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Considering that myself

  15. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years

    Micky denied

  16. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Get Micky off

    Seems to have lost all confidence

  17. The Blackadder
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years

    Who is most likely to play if Kompany comes back in, Otamendi or Stones?

  18. La Roja
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Mkhi do wasteful

    1. La Roja
      • 13 Years

    1. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

    2. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Did it last night to beat the rise. Can see it being a double before the week is out.

    3. FC Hakkebøf
      • 8 Years

      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Glad I brought in Salah over Miki this week for Mane.

  21. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Miki to Salah in my calendar for GW7

  22. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Micky to Silva is tempting

    1. drughi
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Mikhi>Hazard even more

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Not in same bracket

    2. ★Kuntheman★
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Very. I'm surprised by the minutes Silva has been getting though

      1. Ghost Gooner
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        Same here and I have him

    3. Rinseboy
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      mikky to salah for me!

      1. Atimis
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        This

        1. Limbo
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 3 months ago

          Salah is the about only player in my team giving great returns. Him and Hegazi.

  23. thunder_mike
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    So ...
    A) Lukaku > Kun
    or
    B) Mhki > Silva

    1. The 12th Man
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Both are tempting right now

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Lmao. Wouldnt get rid of Miki just yet. Miki to Silva seems a bit Sideways if you ask me

    3. FC Hakkebøf
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      A

  24. shearer9
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    This is horrible as someone who did Lukaku -> Kane. Goal imminent.

    1. Blue&White85
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      He should have one for sure already.

  25. ★Kuntheman★
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Mkhi>Ritchie on the cards

    1. Atimis
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      100%

    2. FC Hakkebøf
      • 8 Years

  26. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    A Micky to Fellaini Goal would be welcome

  27. Captain Vantastic™
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Mkhi.

  28. surrallt

    8 years, 3 months ago

    What do you think about martina as a route into the Everton defence, they are bound to get better soon, and have a good run of fixtures coming up? Only £4.3m for a wing back..

    1. TwiggsJameson
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      I bought Holgate on my WC 🙁 But I think there could be lots of rotation there.

      1. surrallt
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 3 months ago

        True but at £4.3m rotation isn't too bad? Just need to have other defenders who also play I guess

    2. Red Dagger ✪
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Tempting.

    3. Limbo
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 3 months ago

      Too risky.

  29. Big P
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 3 months ago

    Best combo for a draft league?

    A) Ben Davies & Andy Carroll

    B) Harry Maguire & Chris Wood

  30. Guy Demel
    • 12 Years

    Mkhi > RLC
