The Complete Guide to Scout’s tips and advice for FPL Gameweek 5

Welcome to the Fantasy Football Scout Guide to Gameweek 5.

The international break is over – don’t worry, only 23 days to go until the next one – and it promises to be a crucial four-Gameweek period between now and then. The action gets underway this weekend with the Merseyside derby.

This guide aims to pick out all the crucial bits of information to help you ready your FPL team ahead of the 11:00 BST deadline.

The headline news from yesterday’s press conferences was undoubtedly the confirmed absence of Kevin De Bruyne (£11.6m). 

The 34.6%-owned Belgian had been a captaincy contender ahead of Manchester City’s clash with Arsenal, having totalled 33 points across two matches against the Gunners last season. 

But attention now turns away from Pep Guardiola’s troops leaving Fantasy managers faced with a tricky decision. Jan Sienkiewicz summed up the situation in Captain Sensible:

It’s a far from straightforward week concerning the captaincy, with fixtures that would have looked good on paper before the season started suddenly not appearing as favourable.

– Jan

Tottenham Hotspur take on a much-improved West Ham: over the last three Gameweeks, no team has allowed fewer shots from inside their box than the Hammers. And Everton, who face Liverpool, have the next-meanest defence.

But as Legomané humorously observed, it’s nigh-on impossible to tell what constitutes an easy fixture these days.

Az talked up Chelsea’s chances on the Scoutcast, and even revealed that he is planning to captain Kai Havertz (£8.4m) – although that was before he pushed the Wildcard button:

Southampton is the perfect game for the new look Chelsea… I know [Southampton’s] defensive numbers have been better, but I’m looking at them thinking if they play their high line, and you’ve got players like Werner and Pulisic, and Havertz pulling the strings and Ziyech doing all these creative bits in behind, then I think they’re going to really get at them. So I really like this fixture for Chelsea.

– Az

Although caution is perhaps advised for those considering the returning Christian Pulisic (£8.3m), Matt Henley neatly encapsulating the dilemma facing Fantasy managers:

Pulisic is quality but his legs are made of Weetabix.

– Matt Henley 

And in a Gameweek of divided opinions, Joe took a different view on Chelsea:

According to the expected goals stat, it looks like [Chelsea] may have got slightly lucky… the expected goals is 6.87, so very high, but the goals they’ve scored is 10, so they are overperforming.

– Joe speaking in the Captaincy Video

Spurs players appeal most to Joe. And with the news that De Bruyne has been ruled out, the veteran Scoutcaster is considering swapping out the Belgian for Son Heung-min (£9.2m). Could Son even be handed the captain’s armband?

I think Son is a very good captain pick in a week where I don’t think there are many good captains.

– Joe

West Ham have just a 15 per cent chance of a clean sheet, according to the odds supplied by G-Whizz, adding weight to the idea of backing a Spurs player. Harry Kane (£10.6m) gets the nod from BigManBakar:

Kane has created the highest amount of big chances in the league which add to his value. He has the best expected goal involvement (xGI) since the season started of all players in the league, so with great fixtures to come I believe he’s the main asset to own.

– BigManBakar

Schadenfreude and exciting new differentials

Schadenfreude is not the name of a former Spurs midfielder but one of the few German words adopted directly into the English language. If you want to know exactly what it means, take a look at Pro Pundit Sam Bonfield and husband Lee in their Top Five Wildcard Picks video from last week.

Spurs-fan Sam reveled in reminding Liverpool-fan Lee how many goals the Reds conceded to Aston Villa, leading fellow Pro Pundit Zophar to accuse her of “spousal abuse” on the FPL Wire. If that’s not enjoying the misfortune of others, I don’t know what is. By the way, it was seven goals in case anyone had forgotten. 

But all seemed well on Friday with the Bonfields in daring mood, braving the heights at the Tottenham Hotspur stadium. Following their adrenaline rush, will either of them feel emboldened to add Gareth Bale (£9.5m) to their squads?

The video footage released by both Bale and Spurs over the International break shows a player back in full training, looking happy and sharp. He has personally commented on the quality of the care and the facilities at Spurs and, after being overlooked for a few seasons in Spain, may feel he has something to prove (see Rodriguez at Everton for an indicator of what’s possible)… but, for me right now, the form of both Harry Kane and Son Heung-Min are just impossible to ignore, so you should make one or both your first picks from Tottenham’s assets.

– Sam

However, Jose Mourinho was noncommittal about whether Bale would start on Sunday:

He’s there, he’s there. Probably he plays Sunday, if he doesn’t he will on Thursday, but he’s there, he’s very, very close.

– Jose Mourinho

Bale isn’t the only enticing differential ahead of Gameweek 5. Pro Pundits Lateriser and Tom Freeman have both talked up Aston Villa assets during the international break. 

Ross Barkley (£5.9m) and Ollie Watkins (£6.0m) appeal to Lateriser along with Brighton’s Leandro Trossard (£6.0m). The Seagulls midfielder is taking up a very advanced position and producing some impressive underlying stats: only four midfielders have taken more shots.

Meanwhile Zophar pointed out that Ross Barkley was practically a support striker against Liverpool, judging by his shot map. And Tom even suggested he could be on penalties.

The Villa fan also singled out Watkins as his top differential pick, writing in glowing terms of his all-round potential and striking ability. The former Brentford star could benefit from an injury-hit Leicester City on Sunday, with Cağlar Söyüncü (£5.5m) set to miss out and his central defensive partner, Jonny Evans (£5.5m), a doubt with abdominal pain. 

Tom concluded his Pro Pundit piece:

I’m not totally convinced Villa will be good week in, week out, but if the connection between Grealish, Barkley and Watkins continues, they could offer FPL managers some serious value, and the fixtures between Gameweeks 6-15 will certainly give them the platform to impress.

– Tom

Elsewhere, Under-17 World Cup winner, Rhian Brewster (£4.5m), has piqued the interest of many in the FPL Community following his move to Sheffield United. Neale ran the rule over the former Liverpool youngster highlighting his finishing strength during a successful loan period at Swansea. The new recruit also picked up the Golden Boot at the Under-17 World Cup in India back in 2017.

Described as “a gift from the FPL gods” by Zophar, Brewster’s budget price tag enables us to upgrade our squad in other positions. Which could be handy for owners of Tyrick Mitchell (£4.1m) with the news that Patrick van Aanholt (£5.4m) is “back”.

Ahead of an enticing run, Van Aanholt was Joe’s differential pick on the Scoutcast – six of Crystal Palace’s next seven fixtures are rated at just two on the FPL website. 

And on FPL Black Box, Mark gave the Dutchman a ringing endorsement, pointing out that Palace perform very well against weaker opposition – they kept eight clean sheets against teams outside the ‘Big Seven’ (the ‘Big Six’ plus Leicester) – and Van Aanholt averaged five points per match in those games. What’s more, Mark thinks that he could be on penalties and free-kicks.

However, not everyone was so enthusiastic. Granville gave a withering reply when asked if he was a fan of PVA: “yeah, when I’m putting up wallpaper.”

Meanwhile Pro Pundit Holly found it useful to delve into the stats in an attempt to find some clarity during what’s been an unpredictable start to the season. 

The first name highlighted using her sanguine approach was Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£7.6m):

Calvert-Lewin leads the goal-scoring charts with six goals from six big chances, as well as dominating the shots (15) and shots on target (nine) behind just Harry Kane (£10.6m).

– Holy

Sometimes the obvious picks are the best.

Finally, Pro Pundit Andy revealed a stat that few expected to hear at the start of the season:

At 7.72 xGC [Manchester United] are the second worst defence statistically and are only kept off the bottom spot by West Brom, a stat that looks even worse when you consider United have only played three matches.

– Andy

It’s not a pretty picture for followers of the Red Devils: they are one of only four teams in the whole of English professional football to have conceded more goals than they’ve managed shots on target in 2020/21.

Community latest

Site moderator Gregor (real name Graeme Sumner) was invited to join Joe on his popular Meet the Manager series. 

Graeme has managed an outstanding three top 1,000 finishes during his FPL career, the best of which was 29th overall in 2016/17. An advocate of the eye test over stats, Graeme talked about his style of play and plans for the upcoming Gameweeks – he has it all mapped out with Antonio set to be his captain in Gameweek 8 for an enticing home encounter against Fulham. 

Make time to watch the interview if you haven’t seen it already. 

Earlier this week, the Best of the Community feature covered a range of topics from Chelsea’s defence to innovative ideas on how to handle the topsy-turvy start to the season. It also rounded-up all FFScout Mini-Leagues and Community Competitions.

    10. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Going Electrode. I think he's the most explosive option.

    11. McSauce
      • 14 Years

      Harry Maguire —> Snorlax is the transfer this week mate

      1. Leonard hatred
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        "They're the same picture"

    12. skodaole2
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Would take one of them out for Psyduck(-4) and captain him

      1. Chill, we'll call you
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Pikachu ownership too high. You'll be punished for not having him. It. Her. Something.

        1. skodaole2
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Pikachu usually blanks at home, wanted to risk a bit since I started badly ( bought Abra, Cubone, Onyx, Gyarados in my GW 2 WC)

    13. Tomerick
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      In all seriousness I would 100% buy Pokemon x FIFA.

  2. Salarrivederci
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Richarlison, Rodríguez & Digne starting for me this GW.

    Think this is the first time since I started playing, that I actually start three players facing Liverpool.

    1. Hulk Smash
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      No DCL?

  3. Matt Sk
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Fernandes (c), anyone with me on this one?

    1. Slitherene
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I think he's the best option

    2. Ange Ball
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I think you cracked it

    3. PascalCygan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I’ve just brought him back in for -4. Son cap.

      Feels good to have Bruno back. Don’t like not having a piece of United and he’s proved he can score heavily even when he or the team don’t play well. And he’s so well owned...

      I sold him hastily earlier this season but glad to have him again.

    4. OverTinker
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Congrats man

    5. Jolly Good
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Had him all week before I flipped and put it on Werner this morning

  4. TomSaints
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Inevitably wildcard made some mistakes but ahead of those becoming apparent this weekend:

    No Chelsea/ United / city - big risk and someone will score well but issues with all 3 teams. Happy to stick on spurs for next couple then transfer in 2 on form.

    Invested at the back - they’ll come good in the long run. I’m sticking on big at the back all season

    Form over fixtures - kept Grealish and Rodriquez despite a nagging feeling there’s better value elsewhere, especially this week (Greenwood / Mahrez / Chelsea mid) High ownership and happy to play conservatively

    Kane (c) - Salah is never a bad pick but fixture, history and statistics suggest he should have a quiet day. Son on fire, but freak matches and think he’ll also be quiet.

    Some or all of this will be wrong but at least I’ll know where my head was at on Monday evening looking back!

    1. Jealous Viper
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Kane cap as well. Loves a derby doesn't he. Best of luck to both of us

      1. TomSaints
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        It’s a good decision. Can’t regret it whatever happens

    2. Hulk Smash
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      I agree with most of this but I couldn't stomach going big at the back on WC as there are so many goals flying in and so many good value attackers. But the way the season has been going, we'll probably get 14 clean sheets and 6 goalless draws now!

      1. TomSaints
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        Feels like lots of freakish results, but got to trust some degree of normalcy returns or it’s just a lottery!

        Gone Robertson, Semedo, PVA so a bit punty but reckon they’ll come good over next 4

    Martinez Steer

        Ripped up a perfectly thought out template squad to accommodate him and Bruno. Feeling rather good about it. Just too bad i couldnt fund Maupay instead of Antonio

    2. Hulk Smash
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      The points potential in that midfield is insane. You've got 5 players easily capable of a double digit haul.

      DCL, Richarlison, Salah, Robbo check.. this is going to be a fantastic watch:)

      Quite defensive in midfield for Liverpool. They're not underestimating Everton.

      1. Good Times
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        I'd say they trusting Thiago robbo and taa to bring out the attacks with decent protection

    5. FPL_trail_runner
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Exactly the team for Liverpool i predicted 2 days ago here and why I have the Robbo+TAA double up
      and DCL + Hamez benched.

      Lets see. I expect Liverpool to dominate possession with Thiago there.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        After all the question marks, both sides put out their strongest XIs. I suspected Matip would replace the wobbly Gomez. Should be a great match, albeit with just a goal separating the sides.

        1. FPL_trail_runner
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 5 months ago

          Unless Liverpool and Everton have dramatically changed as teams I see Liverpool dominating

          Will be interesting to see.

        That's insane benching those two.

        I mean, yeah, Pool are an exceptional side. But, Everton could easily score some goals today. And, I'd be surprised if one of those weren't involved, probably both.

    6. LegendMoon
      • 7 Years

      got a feeling this is where Everton come unstuck and get a walloping

    Any cool kids out here who decided to leave kdb on the bench this week?

    1. korbendallas82
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      yes, i did. it was a lack of decisionmaking that forced me.

    2. korbendallas82
      • 10 Years

      4-4 would be a nice result.

      1. JBG
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        5-4 to Everton

    3. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      I think they will win

    4. XabiAlonso

      Na, mane to spoil the party

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 5 months ago

        1-0 or 0-1

    5. LegendMoon
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      see above i reckon a pool 4-0 victory

    6. Piggs Boson

      I have no idea what's going to happen. And it's great 🙂

      Sorry, but not today 🙂

      I hope they do, very difficult to predict how both teams will appear after the IB and the previous results. EVE are not used to be on top and LIV never experienced such a defeat. An early EVE goal could cause LIV loss of concentration

  16. Bruce Lee
    • 5 Years

    I got DCL in and was upset because it was pool

    But Adrian...

    1. DandyDon
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Got attackers in both sides so hoping for plenty of goals

  17. Fer Fuch's Ake
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Gomez dropped

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Matip is better

  18. DandyDon
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Cmon Mane! Justify my -8 and rectify Pool’s 0 goal difference.

    As a TAA, Salah and DCL owner, I'm looking forward to:

    Goal - MANE
    Assist - ROBERTSON

    Everton 0-1 Liverpool (37 mins)
    #EVELIV #FPL

    then:

    Goal - RICHARLISON
    Assist - DIGNE

    Everton 1-1 Liverpool (75 mins)
    #EVELIV #FPL

    1. 1zverGGadeM

      VVD goal is a great option too 🙂

      1. Jafooli
        • 12 Years

        I reckon he’ll get injured.....probably his knee?

  24. thegaffer82
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    Very strong Liverpool side that.

    Thiago, Hendo , Fabinho is a pretty mean MF 3

  25. Right In The Stanchion
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    I captained Son over Salah.

    Please don’t dish out free penalties this weekend Refs

  26. Alexis Nonsense
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    I managed to take -8 hit as a mistake

    Was looking at possible future moves, couple of beers in I forgot that I had tinkered in transfers, got the planned transfer and hit the button

    So what was supposed to be KDB --> Grealish for -4

    became KDB + Jimenez --> Grealish + Antonio -8

    So feel a bit bad about that one, I had high hopes for Jimenez vs. Leeds actually

  27. Shark Team

    Everton v Liverpool > Real Madrid v Barcelona

    ALL BIG GUNS INNN

    Magnus played his WC:

    Martinez
    Dallas Robbo Chilwell
    Son Salah Rodriguez Pulisic Grealish

    This is gonna be such a good game. Can't wait. Two full strength teams.

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 5 months ago

      Salah v Pickford the key duel.

  30. Bavarian
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 5 months ago

    It's a 2-2 game (Robertson-Salah / DCL-J.Rodriguez)

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years

      Nice prediction!
