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

    Kulusevski owners, do you think he will be rested?
    What would you do:

    A) Kulu to Gross or Rodrigo or Harrison
    B) Kulu to Diaz
    C) Kulu to Gundo
    D) Save transfer

    Thanks!

      Don't see him being rested, but can see Richarlison coming in for Son.

      I might still sell him for Diaz though this GW

        I agree with this.

        Spurs at West Ham is the type of needle match that could suit Richarlison. As long as he keeps his cool and doesn't get a red card.

        Think Kulusevski will start.

        Could be Son coming on?

    Good morning all!! Well, I’m still no nearer to deciding my transfers!! Team is below and I have 2 FT and zero in the bank, Saka and Walker look like the best two to lose, but with their decent home fixtures this week I’m finding it hard to move them…..

    Sanchez
    TAA James Cancelo Walker
    Salah Saka Martinelli
    Haaland Jesus Mitro

    Should I do Ward to Steele and roll the other transfer???

      No need to do 2 transnfers so definitely roll one.

      No obvious moves here so think Ward > Steele makes most sense, means even if Sanchez doesn't start you still have a keeper. If you have no intention of rotating Sanchez and Ward then go for it.

        Yeah I learnt that lesson week before last mate when I started Ward at home to Southampton, knew instantly I mate a mistake there so said to myself Il just start Sanchez all the time after that error so going for Steele I’m content with, think that’s what I shall do, how about Saka to Rodrigo??!

          I'd keep Saka and roll the other transfer.

          Feels to me like having 2 for next week puts you in a stronger postion then downgrading saka to rodrigo at this point (after the price rises have happened)
