With the next Fantasy Premier League (FPL) deadline following hot on the heels of Gameweek 4, we’re trying to cram in as much content as possible before Tuesday evening.

So our regular team reveals this week take the form of an ‘all-in-one’, with four of our top contributors sharing their Gameweek 5 plans and transfers in this article.

LATERISER

Three-time top 200 finisher and two-time champion of India

I am looking to save a transfer this week, having removed funds from my defence in Gameweek 4 to allow the upgrade from Leon Bailey (£4.7m) to Marcus Rashford (£6.3m). As much as I want to punt on a Manchester City attacker, I don’t have a clear route right now. I’m eyeing up Darwin Nunez (£8.9m) once his suspension ends, which was another reason to take money out of defence.

ZOPHAR

Seven-time top 10k finisher

    Looking at Chelsea training photos and anyone knew if colour of bibs mean anything to Indicate who is playing? Some also have bibs on whilst others don’t ?

    Reckon this is worth a -4? Would improve the bench for the congested period and I’d likely bench Andreas & Dunk this week:

    Ramsdale, Trippier & Bailey ->
    Sanchez, Saliba & Gross

    Ramsdale
    Trent, Cancelo, James, Dunk
    Salah, Diaz, Martinelli, Andreas
    Haaland, Jesus

    Ward, Trippier, Bailey, Archer

    Stansfield who might play a bit or Saydee/Ferguson who have only just been added and presumably no one will buy at all.

    Any experts on price changes about?

      My guess is he starts Forest & is benched for Villa, based on the assumption that he starts at Sevilla 2 days later. But my advice is to have a close look at the schedule / rest days & plan around that as you see fit:

    How if the national fpl record just be removed from pundit tagline.
    The reason is we cant prove it, e.g. If i say I was 10 times xxx nation champion, will you guys believe it? Not that I am doubting lateriser or Sonaldo record. I enjoy every content they provided.
    But just use the Overall Rank record, that's my suggestion.

            Their defenders are fit. But outside Trippier and Pope, these 4 have an impact on current Newcastle's quality. Especially the first 3, with Longstaff as the DM now

            It's like rewinding the clock on their recent talent improvement

            It's a temporary setback though

    Hi,
    Which is the best move pls:

    A) Dasilva to Gross
    B) Archer to Alvarez

    Andreas - Salah - Martinelli - Rodrigo - Dasilva

      Are you going to play Gross this GW by bringing him in for Dasilva?

      Earlier comment up the page says Zinch might be available to start

      Trent is definitely an improvement though

    What to do in GW5??

    My team consists of:

    Mendy (Ward)
    Cancelo, Trent, Robertson, James (Williams)
    Salah, Martinelli, Rodrigo, Gross (Andreas)
    Kane, Jesus (Plange)

    I have 2 FT and 0,1M in the bank. I'm considering:
    A) Robertson --> Dunk and save 1 transfer
    B) Mendy --> Sanchez and save 1 transfer
    C) Burn the transfer

    Do you guys have any suggestions?
