The final match of Gameweek 5 takes place this evening as Aston Villa take on West Ham United at Villa Park.

Kick-off is at 20:00 BST.

Not one of the 22 players in the two starting XIs sits in more than 7% of Fantasy Premier League squads, with Sebastien Haller (ยฃ7.5m) the most-owned asset on show.

Haller was transferred in by just under 180,000 Fantasy bosses in the run-up to Gameweek 5.

All of West Ham’s other players are owned by 5% of FPL managers or fewer.

Tyrone Mings (ยฃ4.6m), Tom Heaton (ยฃ4.5m) and John McGinn (ยฃ5.6m) are the only members of Aston Villa’s starting XI who are in more than 5% of Fantasy Premier League squads.

Dean Smith has made two changes to the side that lost at Crystal Palace, one of which is enforced.

The suspended Trezeguet (ยฃ5.3m) is replaced by Anwar El Ghazi (ยฃ5.5m), while Marvelous Nakamba (ยฃ4.4m) is brought in at the expense of Douglas Luiz (ยฃ4.6m) in central midfield.

West Ham’s team news is a lot more straightforward, with Manuel Pellegrini naming the same starting XI that lined up in Gameweeks 3 and 4.

The Hammers are unbeaten in three Premier League matches and have taken four points from their first two away games.

Aston Villa won their previous home fixture, defeating Everton 2-0 in Gameweek 3.

Aston Villa XI: Heaton, Taylor, Engels, Mings, Guilbert, Marvelous, McGinn, Grealish, Jota, Wesley, El Ghazi.

West Ham United XI: Fabianski, Fredericks, Diop, Ogbonna, Masuaku, Rice, Noble, Lanzini, Yarmolenko, Anderson, Haller.

      Kun will take back the hot seat when Jesus starts in Ukraine.

                6 years, 1 month ago

                hard to say. was thinking the same until second half of arsenal v watford. reminded me of the benefits of city/liverpool premiums

    VVD to Walker so you can be another victim of Pep's roulette

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Cancelo overdue a start.

  5. ryacoo
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    A) Son + Cilson (with Cantwell always benched)
    B) Salah + Cantwell (with Greenwood benched)

  6. jdp219
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    I don't suppose Maitland-Niles will be starting for much longer, will he?

  7. Colonel Shoe ่‚ๆฑ 
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    worth holding ceballos?

    1. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      I feel i made a big mistake with him. Lack of minutes and Arsenal seem a mess even with fixtures. Auba only really...

      1. ‘Tis the Season
        • 7 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Couldn’t agree more

    2. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      id keep him. jury is still out. hes extremely cheap and has fixtures

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • 16 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      He’s got the Villa game for me, then I’ll have 2 FTs

    4. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      Sell. Not even nailed. Was a premature bandwagon.

      1. Twisted Saltergater
        • 16 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Agree with this but it’s usually advisable not to sell a player with a home game. With one FT, worth a save.

  8. cjhewitt92

    What to do with Lanzini

    A) Mount
    B) James
    C) Ceballos
    D) Bernard
    E) Any other suggestions already own Auba and Abraham

    1. ryacoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      A but I'd be tempted to give Lanzini one more first

    2. ‘Tis the Season
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      A

      1. cjhewitt92
        • 12 Years
        6 years, 1 month ago

        Is Abraham and Mount double up to much Chelsea or have they got lots of goals in them

  9. Don Van Vliet
    • 12 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Who do you think would be better on a WC?

    1. Tarkowski and Iwobi
    or
    2. Lowton and Mount

    Currently have Abraham.

    1. ryacoo
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      2

    2. EMBOLOFAN
      • 7 Years
      6 years, 1 month ago

      2 by an absolute mile

  10. FF Dirtbag
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    Did dendoncker - > Cantwell with my FT. Plus I am majorly failing so how does the team look? Anything I should focus on?

    Pope
    VVD Digne Zinchenko
    Sterling(c) Salah kdb mount Cantwell
    Wilson Pukki

    Button ;Greenwood, lundstram, Soyuncu... 0FT and 0.6 mill in the bank.

  11. jayzico
    • 14 Years
    6 years, 1 month ago

    If you had too:

    Kun for abraham or pukki

    or

    not

    own de bruyne and sterling
