Sunday could actually be a “super” one in Gameweek 5. It begins at Stamford Bridge where Chelsea host Arsenal with an array of major Fantasy assets taking to the turf.

Alvaro Morata is perhaps the key attacking option on show. The Spaniard has recorded three goals and two assists – all with his head – since arriving at Chelsea and is supported by 912,000+ owners, with 182,000 (20%) of those backing him with the captaincy.

Alexandre Laczette is in opposition and, surprisingly perhaps, remains well backed in Fantasy terms.

Despite suffering 92,000+ sales heading into Gameweek 5, the French striker is still retained by 600,000 managers and has 141,000 (23%) of those trusting him with their Gameweek captaincy.

Elsewhere, the performances of wing-backs Marcos Alonso and Sead Kolasinac will be closely tracked.

The Chelsea man is owned by 21.2% of FPL managers having picked up another 40,000 new managers ahead of yesterday’s deadline.

Kolasinac’s following is more modest (10.7%) and yet, following his goal in the midweek Champions League tie, he is building momentum ahead of two favourable home fixtures (WBA BHA).

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

      1. JONALDINHO
        • 8 Years

        Could do A and C for a hit with Ake to Kola?

            0.1 short doing Ake to Kola but Aguero move allows it

    Yeah, Kolasinac is pretty good, but I'm not sure if people realise that they are buying an Arsenal defender...

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years

      Arsenal do well against bad teams in the beginning of the season

    2. ptr88
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      If they play peaople on right positions they can defend...look at today.
      Kola could be really good and they have 2 home games now!

    3. Scout Pics
      • 8 Years

      Two clean sheets in a row in the league.

    4. JONALDINHO
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      2CS in two

    5. Davido989
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      That's the thing. Their defence conceded more goals than City and Pool last season, that's hilarious.

      But if you think of Kolasinac as a 6m mid with any defensive points as a bonus, it's not so bad.

    6. Sánchez
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I realised then i got 2 clean sheets out of 2 and an assist. Almost 3 baps today too. Could have been 20pts in 2 weeks but for that late yc

    7. _Make
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      He was on three baps until injury time and got booked. He's obviously doing something right OPTA-wise.

    8. Pariße
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      I have since yesterday. One of them brought me 2 clean sheets already. Their first 3 league games were off, but since shifting to 3-4-3 a couple of months ago, they've actually been quite solid at the back.

      1. Pariße
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        I have 2* since yesterday.

  4. Davido989

    No Ozil in a big game and Arsenal came away with something. Coincidence?

    1. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Nope, Ozil is great when they have to play bottom teams with a bus, but is a bit of a liability in games like this

      1. Wilshere Knowledge
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        44% goal involvement against top 6.

        1. Davido989
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          😆 that's cos you hardly score any!

          1. Wilshere Knowledge
            • 12 Years
            8 years, 4 months ago

            He does his job. Kante doesn't get grief for not scoring goals or creating chances, why does Ozil get grief for not playing like Gattuso?

        2. Greenbackbøøg…
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          I imagine Arsenal don't score many at all vs top 6

    2. Scout Pics
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Yes

    3. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 12 Years

      The number of people who drowned in swimming pools correlates with power generated by US nuclear power plants.

      1. Shirokov(c)
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Yep, because Arsenal getting a result today had nothing to do with who they had on the pitch

        yawn

      Interesting. They certainly looked good, even without Alexis, and certainly better than Chelsea.

    6. TheTwelfthMan
      • 8 Years

      Didn't Arsenal beat Chelsea 3-0 last season with Ozil?

      1. Sims
        • 9 Years

        Cup final too

      2. Scout Pics

        Shhh it doesn't fit the lazy narrative

  5. MTPockets
      8 years, 4 months ago

      Davies had a big knock on his ankle, Dembele just needed to rest:
      http://www.football.london/tottenham-hotspur-fc/fixtures-results/mauricio-pochettino-spurs-press-conference-13631488

      Shouldn't Davies be flagged?

      1. drughi
        • 16 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        He was on the bench

        1. MTPockets
            8 years, 4 months ago

            I'm being sarcastic. Comments about rotation met with 'knock'. Comments about knock met with 'rotation'.

        2. TheTwelfthMan
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          He wouldn't be on the bench if he had a big knock.

        3. fedolefan
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Yeah, if you listen to the press conference, Poch said he got a big knock.

          1. Scout Pics

          hold, it's not a must to get those city players

          1. seewhyaxe
            • 9 Years
            8 years, 4 months ago

            I'm not trying to get City players.

            I'm trying to get rid of wood and semi-wood.

            Salah seems essential, need to get rid of Suttner, possibly Antonio too (just transferred him in this week!)

            1. Bird Raymond
              • 14 Years
              8 years, 4 months ago

              Wrong site for getting rid of wood and semi wood.

        2. JONALDINHO
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          No way, just do Kaku to Aguero

          1. ☈☾
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 4 months ago

            Nah do Kane to Aguero

        3. Plant Based FPLer
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          I wouldn't trade for Kane after another poor home showing on the big Wembley pitch. Then again, I've just been point chasing, with my trades and also captain choices so I don't know.

          Alli didn't look good IMO either. The big Wembley pitch is a real issue I think. Newcastle has a big pitch as well and they're not conceding much either. If I wildcard, I don't think I'll be getting any attacking Spurs. Eriksen looks tired as well. Just a lot more running the whole team has to do (Champions league games there as well).

      3. Feloh
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Jones brace would be epic

        1. TheBusDriver
          • 10 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Leg brace maybe.

      4. I AM GROOT!!!

        SO who gets the baps in the arsenal game?

        1. Feloh

      6. Pariße

        City have scored the same amount of goals as 14 teams this week combined.

      7. Lone Wolf

            • 9 Years
            8 years, 4 months ago

            Chicas been poor but surely has better chance of doing something than Carroll, people who benched Gross for his 18 pointer thought he had been poor too, beware

      8. Rik Waller
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        It'll be interesting to see Lukaku in this game. The loss of Pogba may affect his value I think. Could be time to ditch.

        1. JONALDINHO
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Big game regarding FPL transfers

      9. Freddo
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        Will all those who slated Kane be on Morata's back now?

        Just have to accept that it's hard for teams in an European week, make Aguero's performance even more remarkable.

        Luiz right to be sent off, but that was an absolutely horrible game of refereeing from Michael Oliver. Horrifically inconsistent

        1. Wilshere Knowledge
          • 12 Years

          Took the easy option every time.

            • 8 Years

            The easy option would surely have been to yc Luiz, given he was already on a yellow?

        Wayne Rooney talking about his Everton playing needing to show "character" in today's game.

        Maybe he got that line from his wife.

      16. Football Heaven

        Pogba and Kane to silva and aguero? Got no city cover and bavies and alli. Will probs get Kane in next week anyway. Any other suggestions would be appreciated (0.1itb)

      17. Fanta sea
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 4 months ago

        If Lukaku gets only one goal, I fear there may be a mass exodus from managers. Kane and Aguero look more exciting to own.

        1. Greenbackbøøg…
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          ... you're joking right

          1. TheTwelfthMan
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 4 months ago

            Last week he got one goal and there was a lot of talk of getting rid.

            1. Fanta sea
              • 10 Years
              8 years, 4 months ago

              That's why I'm saying this.

          2. Pariße
            • 10 Years

            Goal and no baps, exaclty this happened last week.

        2. FPL ZB
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 4 months ago

          Must be a joke

          1. Fanta sea
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 4 months ago

            No joke. Lukaku owners have been leaving even though he scored a goal last week. Seems like owners prefer Kane or Aguero at the moment.

        3. MTPockets
            8 years, 4 months ago

            Kane's the opposite of exciting to own right now.

          On WC playing with variois combinations. Would really like triple wing backs, but the only way I can get it is Jesus over Kun. So (to go with Alonso/Kola):

          A) Kun/Jones
          B) Jesus/Bavies?

          After Luiz tackle did Kola look like he was OK? Thought myself he was limping a bit.

          Is Gross worth the 0.5 over Atsu as a restrictive 4th mid?

              I own Atsu and I think he is :/

            Close but i'd go for Atsu. Better fixtures +0.5m. Depends what you'd do with the 0.5m though.

            Apart from the Arsenal game, Groß has favorable fixtures. I didn't like how Atsu was benched for the Swansea game so I'd be wary. Still great value for 5.0 but I'd go for Groß because if Brighton score, he's most likely going to be in the goals and assists. Groß also takes corners whereas Ritchie takes them for Newcastle.

              Fair enough, thanks

              If you are desperate for the 0.5m then go for Atsu but if it's a playing 4th midfielder, I'd say Groß is the better prospect.

              Atsu was benched due to international travel

          Kane to Aguero now?

          Also have Lukaku, Alli, Salah, Mkhitaryan.

            Wait to see how Lukaku plays

          Come on Lukaku, Mkhi and Bailly.

            By "manager of a team" he meant manager of a team playing against Utd

          Was full sure Ayew would start this week. Is he not fully fit yet? Should I get rid?

            Are you talking about Andre Ayew? He's fine, he's just a bit down the pecking order at west ham. Unlikely to get a long run of games as a starter

          Why does Aguero have an RMT rating of 5.62 for next week when Jesus and KDB have 6.39 and 5.64 respectively???

          All I want in this match is a 1-0 win for United, with the goal being a header from Lukaku from a beautiful Valencia cross

            I would happily take that. 😀
