Gameweek 5 is about to begin and Betway have joined in with a couple of Super Boost offers.

No Friday night match this time, with Wolverhampton Wanderers hosting Liverpool in a Saturday lunchtime opener. Then, on Monday night, Nottingham Forest welcome Burnley to City Ground.

However, sandwiched in between are a bunch of intriguing match-ups.

WHAT IS THE GAMEWEEK 5 SUPER BOOST?

If you’re new to the Super Boost, it’s effectively enhanced odds on cherry-picked match events.

A trio of match events, to be exact, so you’ll need all three to come in.

On Saturday, Betway are offering 2/1 odds for this treble rather than the original evens:

  • Erling Haaland (1+ Shots on Target)
  • Son Heung-min (1+ Shots on Target)
  • Marcus Rashford (1+ Shots on Target)

Meanwhile, there’s 3/1 instead of 11/8 on offer for Sunday’s Super Boost:

  • Bukayo Saka (1+ Shots on Target)
  • Martin Odegaard (2+ Shots)
  • William Saliba (2+ Tackles)

SATURDAY

The three selected Saturday names all face an opponent yet to keep a clean sheet and the first two, in particular, feel pretty straightforward.

Erling Haaland is the league’s top scorer with six goal and has ended all four matches with at least two shots on target. It’s a trip to West Ham United, where he netted twice on last season’s opening weekend – his Premier League debut.

Over at Spurs, Son Heung-min should only be judged on Gameweek 4 – the first time he’s been used up front under Ange Postecoglou. Until then he’d had an anonymous start but the hat-trick at Burnley came from five shots.

Needing an in-form centre-forward to muster one shot on target at home to newly-promoted Sheffield United seems clear-cut. Especially when the visitors have conceded the second-most of these (27).

To complete the set, Marcus Rashford is back on the left side and has exactly one on target from each appearance. All he has to do is repeat the trick against leaky Brighton and Hove Albion.

SUNDAY

Everton are a bogey team for Arsenal, beating the Gunners in five of the last seven Goodison Park meetings.

But sometimes it’s better to look at what’s in front of you, rather than behind. Bukayo Saka has five shots on target from four matches, sitting third overall for penalty area touches (39).

Midfield team-mate Martin Odegaard is averaging 3.5 attempts per game and only needs two here.

Then there’s William Saliba at the back. If Everton push forward, buoyed by their recent history versus Arsenal, Saliba will be needed to intervene with some important tackles.

    Which combo would you play this week?

    A) Estupinan and Joao Pedro
    B) Estupinan and Mbeumo
    C) Schar and Joao Pedro

    - Estupinan: good attacking stats but Brighton maybe will concede. I don't think he will benched but I saw someone on twitter saying that AWB was not seen in training pics.
    - Joao Pedro: i think he will play but not the full 90. I don't trust United defence.
    - Schar: good defence but Brentford has good stats in this season.
    Mbeumo: good stats, could play striker in 3-5-2 but vs Newcastle defence.

    1. PartyTime
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Probably B

    2. LoneWolf1989
      • 4 Years

      B

    3. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Jackson will punish sellers

    1. LoneWolf1989
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      As a seller and a Chelsea fan i actually hope he does.

    2. GENERATION X
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Makes a change from punishing owners

  3. Strchld
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Mitoma to Sterling for free?

    1. LoneWolf1989
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Mmmm i think Sterling does have a good record against Bournemouth but Mitoma is decent. It’s a coin flip imo.

      1. Strchld
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah really don't know what to do with my FT.

        1. LoneWolf1989
          • 4 Years

    Got myself a benching headache.

    Play Foden or Cash?

    1. LoneWolf1989
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Foden

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Has to be Foden. He’s likely to start with Grealish out.

    3. Sgt. Schultz
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Foden

  6. The Mighty Hippo
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Who to captain?
    A). Son
    B). Haaland

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Either. Depends how difficult you think West Ham away will be for City.

    2. Ady87
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      If it can’t be Som this week then may as well perma captain Haaland.

    3. LoneWolf1989
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Son for me this week

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

    I think this will be the first season I finally finish an entire FPL season (this is what I jave said ever since 2011 though) so taking it quite seriously. Even done spreadsheets including fixtures laid out of all teams, my current team and the transfers I plan to make for next week etc. It actually does make your decisions easier when you have everything laid out infront of you. Sometimes you take out players looking at their next two fixtures etc etc etc but have an amazing run after that. Sometimes you transfer in players when they have hauled but fail to look at all the variables involved.

    Going to keep following this plan and see how it goes.

    1. LoneWolf1989
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Good luck to you mate!

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

        Thanks!!!

      2. FOO FIGHTER
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        And GL to you as well!

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      This seems to be Son related without mentioning Son, specifically haha. I take it you’re not getting him because of his 2 fixtures after Sheff Utd?

      Another way of looking at it is, does Son playing up front (plus pens presumably) improve him as an FPL pick? Irrespective of fixtures, I think it does. In a week where I’m not sure about Haaland exploding, he becomes even more desirable.

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

        No, I got him in for Diaz lol. If I does not work out I can always consider Maddison.

        I did a bit of an analysis on my team and my mistake was doubling on midfield. Had Salah and Diaz. Won't be doubling up on other midfields from here on in.

        Trust me, now that I can see my entire team with all their fixtures lined up next to each other, plus all other teams lined up next to each other, I can sort of see when I possibly will or will not make changes going ahead.

    3. jacob1989
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      What fun playing if u don't finish?

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

        It is called "life gets busy" but I do intend to finish this time round considering all the work I have done so far. I really enjoy the game.

        If you need tips on good defence combinations then let me know lol.

  8. Ady87
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    A) Leno & Chilwell
    B) Ederson & Disasi

    This should be me done then!

    1. LoneWolf1989
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      A

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      A if you have a keeper that rotates well with Leno.

      If you get Ederson he chews your budget away plus blocks your route to other City assets.

  9. Van der Faart

    Is this worth a -4 ?

    J.Pedro > Archer
    Martinelli> Son

    Got Saka, Foden, MBuemo, Rashford with Watkins and Haaland.

    1. LoneWolf1989
      • 4 Years

      I would say yes to get son in

      1. Forcella Boys
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member

        Cheers

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

      yeah probably

      but it's written in the FPL way that Pedro starts and scores and Martenelli assists again.

      1. Forcella Boys
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        No doubt !

  13. abaalan
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Play estu, Henry or beyer?
    (beyer highest expected points according to fplteam)

    Or would you use 1 ft & 2.1ITB to transfer 1 of them and play. If so who in/out?

    1. LoneWolf1989
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Estupian

  14. Josh.E

    Hello people! Any help is appreciated, team is;

    Turner
    Gvardiol, Chilwell, Udogie
    Son(C), Mbeumo, Rashford, Maddison, Saka
    Haaland, Jackson

    Bench: Pickford, Estupiñan, Botman, Mubama

    A. Bench: Gvardiol or Estupiñan
    B. gtg

    1. LoneWolf1989

      Bench Gvardiol.

  15. El_meak
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Is son not overhyped at this point, yes he’s playing in a more threatening position but all he’s done is have one good game against Burnley? Am I missing something?

    1. LoneWolf1989
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      You’ve sort of answered your own question, he’s playing in a more threatening position. Don’t forget he’s playing Sheff United who look like they have a goal in them but look awful at the back.

    2. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
      • 15 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      it's one game and it's spurs. Let's see how he does today, a fail and people will be transferring him out probably for rashford or bruno

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      If Haaland had a great fixture or was at home then I might have given Spurs and Son another week but I like captaining a player with a good home fixture.

      Haaland is fixture proof, of course, but could be a decent week to try a different captain.

  16. LoneWolf1989
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Who you captaining this week.

    Hi all,

    This is how my team is set up based on RMT tool:

    Flekken
    Udogie, Porro, Chilwell
    Saka, Bruno, Sterling, Maddison (vc)
    Jackson, Haaland (C), Alvarez

    Areola, Mbeumo, Estupinan, Andersen

    No transfers needed, but changes I'm considering are:

    Play Alvarez or Mbeumo?
    Captain Haaland or Maddison?

  22. FOO FIGHTER
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    If you have Bowen keep. I think what makes decisions either fail or work is concentrating on the colours of the fixture ticker. FPL has West ham at home to Newcastle as a red fixture in GW8. West Ham are at home and their attack is delicious. It is the same with WHU vs City. Bowen at home can return. The only reason to consider the colour of the fixture is for defensive assets right now.

    So my advice, before shipping out a player, discard the colour of the fixture and look at whether that player is home or away and the chances of him getting a return.

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

      And let me add, JWP will be a good asset if you need a budget forward. Take away the colour of the fixtures and it makes things more reasonable.

      JWP has 7.3 points per game so far 🙂

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

        Sorry, budget mid

  23. The Yorkshire Pirlo
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Which two to play?

    A) Akanji
    B) Saliba
    C) Gusto
    D) Estupinan

    Currently playing Saliba, Gusto

    1. Tic Tacs
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Agree with Saliba and Gusto

  24. ididnt
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Okay Edouard or Wissa?

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

      Edouard

  25. RogueBlood
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Worth doing Pedro > Morris and then benching either Estu or Gusto here?

    Turner
    Chilwell, Estu, Udogie, Gusto
    Mbeumo, Rashford, Salah, Saka, Eze
    Haaland

    Onana, Pedro, Beyer, Mubama

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

      I would not go for Morris myself but can understand it is for the DGW.

      How many do you expect Luton to score?

      1. RogueBlood
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Honestly not alot but he is picking up points and is more attractive than the dissapointing Pedro, the risk is does he out point the defenders he would bench is my concern

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

          I would rather go Edouard. Fixtures are reasonable and everything is going through him playing up top. His stats are very good as eell.

          1. RogueBlood
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            That's a good shout would mean doubling up on Palace but again still better than Pedro, who would you bench for him though?

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

              Do you have Eze?

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

                I mean it would be such a cheap combo to own . I would go Edouard and move Eze to JWP in GW7.

                1. RogueBlood

  28. The Mighty Hippo
    • 9 Years

    I'm going to captain the guy who was spotted with a strapped knee and an ice pack during the international break. What can possibly go wrong......

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

      It is a toss up between him and Haaland.

      Who is going to win the battle LOL

  29. FantasyClub
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Do you guys think Gabriel Jesus starts?
    Am contemplating a long term move considering UTD’s good fixture run Martinelli ➡️ Rashford -4 ?

    1. FantasyClub
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Also do you guys think there’s a chance Martinelli gets rested?
