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.

Premium Members can read their thoughts below.



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



FPL Marc Broadcaster, writer and overthinker. Hoping that ‘differential potential’ will catch on.

      1. Koone
        • 3 Years

      Brighton better on the road, so does that mean Dunk?

      Can see Fulham scoring tho.

    1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      1. The Knights Template

        3 years, 7 months ago

  7. Atimis
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Harrison vs Rodrigo - is it King vs Dennis from last season?

    I'm not saying that Harrison has better stats, just is that expectations vs points once again?

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Harrison in the King of the situation, get Rodrigo

      1. TheBiffas
        • 5 Years

      1. DannyDrinkVodka
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Cheers, should have mentioned that I only have 1 FT

  11. Bradleyfarrell
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Should I transfer out Cancelo for Walker so I can afford Rashford? 2 Free Transfers this week

    1. Bring back Timmy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I wouldn’t. Try to find something else or burn

      1. Bradleyfarrell
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        This is my Team
        Ederson, Ward
        James, Arnold, Cancelo, Perisic, Nico Williams
        Diaz, Salah, Martinelli, Andreas, Chukwuemeka,
        Haaland, Jesus, Archer.

        What do you recommend?

        1. Bring back Timmy
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Difficult choice for sure if zero itb. If you are sold on Cancelo out then I would go for Leeds mid or Groß

          1. Bring back Timmy
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            3 years, 7 months ago

            Andreas out

            1. Bring back Timmy
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 11 Years
              3 years, 7 months ago

              Sorry the other 4.5 mid

            2. Bradleyfarrell
              • 3 Years
              3 years, 7 months ago

              Just seen possibility that Reece James is injured, not seen in team training photos.

              Maybe James out for Dalot and Chukwuemeka for Rashford.

              1. Bring back Timmy
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 11 Years
                3 years, 7 months ago

                If you get confirmation before deadline then ok. ManU fan?

                1. Bradleyfarrell
                  • 3 Years
                  3 years, 7 months ago

                  No liverpool. Have a bet with a mate who supports ManU this year to see who gets more points haha

                  1. Bring back Timmy
                    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                    • 11 Years
                    3 years, 7 months ago

  12. AnfieldLad
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Bailey Robertson -> Rodrigo Gabriel (2FT) ?

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Yep

  13. FOO FIGHTER
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Who are you capping for this 'up in the air
    GW5 🙂

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Haaland and I keep getting it wrong, so Everyone should (c) Salah

    2. The Philosopher
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      It's still up in the air tbh

    3. Bring back Timmy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Going to risk Pep and cap Haaland for the 60 minutes. Second choice is Jesus

    4. DF
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Sterling for me.

    5. Black Knights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Which player has most points?

  14. Casualspotted
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    James to Dunk anyone?

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Surely you’ll target Bournemouth assets for the bounce-back?

      1. The Philosopher
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Cancelo -> Zemura and TC locked then

  15. Hypnos
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Haaland not starting this game so as per Pep's comments we reckon?

    1. Badger Badger Mushroom Mush…
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      What comments?

    2. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Are you stating this as fact or mere conjecture?

      1. Hypnos
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        follow the news mate, he said this after weekend game

        1. Dynamic Duos
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Think he misses weekend, 5 day rest for CL

        2. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          think it was 2 games ago.

          and starts in 2 games too.

      2. The Philosopher
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        I'm hearing it's from the same source who confirmed the Dervisoglu news.

        1. FOO FIGHTER
          • 6 Years
          3 years, 7 months ago

          Always do research on 'comments' made on here.

          Especially those who suggest Dervisoglu's chances of starting are good when they aren't.

    3. Bring back Timmy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Purely guess work but he did say he would bench once games are every 3 days. It will have been 4 days this time. If he starts tomorrow surely benched on the weekend

    4. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      I think he is more likely to miss the Villa game at the weekend as they would more likely want him for the Sevilla game and Spurs game that follow

      1. The Knights Template
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Plus Bournemouth could beat Villa

      2. RamaJama
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        This, think Pep meant when the CL games starts

  16. la boneza
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Want to improve my bench due to Leicesters tough fixtures next 3 GWs..

    Sanchez - Ward
    TAA Cancelo James Perisic Neco
    KDB Diaz Martinelli Gross KDH
    Haaland Jesus Dervisoglu

    1FT, 1.0m its

    Thinking
    1. upgrade KDH to Aaronson, or 2: downgrade KDH to Andreas

  17. KeanosMagic

    1. TheBiffas

    2FT 0.5ITB
    Ramsdale Ward

    Anyone Gundo (c)?

    1. DF
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Tempted. On sterling for now, but he's my vice

      1. Eastman
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Very tempted

    2. Front 442
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Will he start?

    James owners.

    There's two separate sources to doubt his fitness now.

    'Azpi to step in?



    This isn't ideal. Someone messaged me yesterday that he hadn't trained

    Wasn't sure how legit it was, but now it's looking likely to be true.

    No idea who starts tonight before anyone asks!

    I won't be selling unless we hear more.

    Martinez or Malacia?

      Got Dalot?

  23. Gandalf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    James + DaSilva > Cucurella + Groß for free? (Starting Groß ahead of Andreas)

    Not sure whether or not to ignore the injury rumours

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      would you ditch James on a minor injury?

      1. Gandalf
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 7 months ago

        Was considering those transfers before the injury rumours to be honest.

        If Cucurella can cover James to an extent, then Groß or Aarsonson would be a better starter than Andreas this week

  24. DRIZ ✅

    1. thegame983
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      That is fantastic

  26. Count of Monte Hristo
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Why are people looking at Estupian over Dunk/Veltman?

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      New toys are always beloved...

    2. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      0.1m cheaper
      Potentially more attacking upside

    3. Black Knights
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      LWB could get involved in attacking returns.

  27. Millie7
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Cuc or James?

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      James

  28. Mr.K
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 7 months ago

    Play:
    A) Sanchez (FUL A)
    B Ward (MUN H)

    I'm currently leaning towards B as it is a home game and I expect ManU to drop in form sooner than later. But Brighton has been pretty good defensively, both home and away...

    1. Under my Cucurella
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      A

    2. Pat Bonner
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Would play literally anyone you can ahead of a Leicester goalkeeper

    3. Mr.K
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 7 months ago

      Cheers both!

    4. bombonera
