Simply pick one player from each of the five nominated Premier League fixtures in the upcoming Gameweek and if all of your selections score more points than their respective Fantasy5 ‘points targets’, then you win at least a share of the £10k prize.

Fantasy5 is easy to play as it follows the exact same scoring system as FPL, just without the bonus points.

It’s also the fastest media outlet for live Fantasy points, displaying all player points from the five games in question, as well as the live score and time.

SCOUT’S GAMEWEEK 25 PICKS

Pick the best Gameweek 25 players for a free chance to win £10k with Fantasy5 1
  • Richarlison (5.5): Two clubs with only one Premier League clean sheet between them this calendar year meet at Anfield this weekend, so targeting attackers over defenders in the Merseyside derby seems like the safest bet. With most of the main players in the two teams’ respective frontlines needing two or more attacking returns to exceed their Fantasy5 points targets, Richarlison requires just a single goal. That’s easier said than done, of course: the Brazilian hasn’t scored in the top flight since Gameweek 15. But a brace in the FA Cup last Wednesday was a confidence-booster that the former Watford winger can hopefully build on.
  • Jesse Lingard (7.5): A goal and a clean sheet point would see Jesse Lingard over his Fantasy5 threshold, eminently possible given that the on-loan Manchester United winger has had more shots than any other Premier League player bar Bruno Fernandes since his move to east London. The Hammers have kept five clean sheets in their last nine, meanwhile, with a fading Spurs goalless in three of their last four and facing a swift turnaround from their Europa League tie in Austria.
  • Ahmed Elmohamady (5.5): With Matthew Cash a major doubt for the visit of Leicester City, Aston Villa’s deputy right-back looks poised to fill in this weekend. He’ll be joining one of the most solid backlines in the Premier League, with Dean Smith’s side – or, rather, the superhuman Emiliano Martinez – keeping clean sheets in 12 of their 22 league matches this season, one of which was in the reverse fixture at Leicester. No other defender in this fixture can pass their Fantasy5 points total with just a clean sheet, so Elmohamady gets the nod.
  • Joao Cancelo (8.5): Given that they’ve kept clean sheets in 12 of their last 15 matches, it’s no surprise that Fantasy5 want Manchester City defenders to do a little more than register a shut-out to pass their points targets. Enter the constantly threatening Joao Cancelo, whose expected goal involvement figure (4.84) is the highest of any defender since his season debut in Gameweek 5.
  • Luke Shaw (8.5): The attack-minded left-back has been creating chances galore for Manchester United of late, carving out 34 opportunities over the last 13 Gameweeks – only Jack Grealish (£7.8m) has provided more in that time. A taker of corners and free-kicks, Shaw has four assists in the last three Gameweeks and another role in a United goal, plus a clean sheet against a Callum Wilson-less Newcastle, would do him very nicely in Fantasy5 terms.

LUKE’S GAMEWEEK 25 PICKS

  • Richarlison (5.5): The Brazilian is one of the few regularly starting attacking assets in this game to only need one goal to meet his quota, so that makes him highly appealing to me. Likely to be deployed in an advanced wide-left role or possibly more central like in recent weeks, he looks a shrewd pick. It helps that Liverpool have conceded seven goals in their last two games. 
  • Harry Kane (6.5): A target of 6.5 seems on the low side for the England centre-forward. Like most he will require two attacking returns to reach his value but who better to bank on? With penalties as a fallback and boasting a record of 11 goals in his last 12 games versus West Ham in the league, he looks a shrewd pick-up.  
  • Ahmed Elmohamady (5.5): The full-back is quite simply the only defender on show across both teams that will surpass his target if he can keep a clean sheet. Matty Cash looks set to be out of this game and so the Egyptian seems underpriced when compared to his colleagues. A clean sheet will be hard to come by of course but with Emiliano Martinez in goal behind him, anything is possible.
  • Phil Foden (8.5): This game looks incredibly tough to pick a winner from with points targets sky-high for most Man City players and, of course, Pep Guardiola roulette to navigate. In the end, I have plumped for the twinkling toes of Phil Foden. With Ilkay Gundogan’s injury status unknown at the time of writing, the onus for goals will have to come from elsewhere. Foden’s target seems more achievable than fellow wide man Raheem Sterling (10.5). Also, Arsenal have problems at left-back currently, having to field the more natural right-back Cedric in the absence of Kieran Tierney. If Foden starts wide right, it could be a bit of a mismatch. 
  • Joe Willock (5.5): Time for a bit of a punt. The Manchester United players’ points targets are very high due to them being heavy favourites for this game, with Bruno Fernandes (12.5) needing two goals and an assist to trump his target. Whilst this is achievable for a player of his quality, I prefer to chance the cheaper assets who only need one goal. Enter Willock, who I feel has impressed since his loan to Newcastle. His high energy levels and ability to counter at pace make him a threat in a game I expect possession to be dominated by the home side. Manchester United have also shipped two goals at home to Sheffield United and three goals at home to Everton in the last three weeks.

      What about officials if they assault players 😉

      1. BeWater
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        That ref in the Ipswich game looked like he was about to Zidane a player last night.

      Imagine you cant insult a grown man in a football match,and getting lifetime ban from football,LOL

      1. Alan The Llama
        • 14 Years

        Assault, not insult.

        1. GROBARI
          • 3 Years

          Oh,my bad

  2. Catastrophe

    3 years, 1 month ago

    A) Maddison, Cancelo, Targett, Struijk
    B) Barnes, Cancelo, Konsa, Dallas
    C) Maddison, Dias, Konsa, Dallas

    Currently on A as Struijk looks a decent shout for the $, although after some advice I am now a little concerned he may lose his place before BGW29.

    Cheers.

    1. HonestBlatter
      • 13 Years

      Going with Strujk route...so cheap

    2. Fulchester's New Centr…
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Of those B - like Barnes; if you do get Struijk can always fix him later before GW29.

    3. Catastrophe

      Thanks chaps

  3. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Maybe could save WC and just go without BB in 26 ?

    Robo to Dallas this week, followed by Antonio Stephens to Kane Barnes -4 before 26 ?

    What to do with Gundo ?

    1. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      What's wrong with Gundo?

      1. TOLV TUMS
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        somewhat crocked

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          For tonight yes, but is he doubt as well for 25 and 26?

      2. Atimis
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Will he be fit?

        1. Magic Zico
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          Pep said yes, he could play tonight but for precaution he's left rested ... hopefully I'm not mistaken

  4. g40steve
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Do I need another Leeds or Sou player for 25?

    If Gundo out Raphinha in

    Martinez,
    Dias, Mee, Maguire,
    Salah, Foden, Bruno, Gundo, Son,
    Bamford C, DCL,

    Johnson, Watkins, Coufal, Mitchell,

    1. Citytilidie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Ings for DCL

      1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I would keep DCL. Better DGW26 games. DGW25 for Ings involves Chelsea.

    2. Crunchie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Tough. Maybe Foden to Raph? I would keep DCL for DGW 26 though

    3. nico05
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      DCL -Ings?

    4. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Decisions?

      1. JabariParkersEyelid
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I'd do Coufal to Dallas probably, like Dark Side says DCL has a nice double on the horizon.

  5. Scholes Out For Summer
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Matt Lowton to build on his rich vein of form and hit a brace today?

    1. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      @FPLStatistics
      Matthew Lowton was triple captained by one manager in the top 50k this GW. #FPL

      1. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

      2. JabariParkersEyelid
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Surely he wasn't in the top 50k before that decision haha

  6. Ci Siamo
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    I honestly don't think Pope will get another CS but I am hoping for another save point

  7. Messiah Hazard
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    With Pieters out and everyone else owning other Burnley defensive assets, badly need a heavy Fulham win... Fingers crossed...

  8. Arteta
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Salah/Bruno/Grealish/Gündogan/Saka to Raphinha for free?

    1. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes

    2. BeWater
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Saka. Arsenal have some tough looking fixtures coming.

    3. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      5 for 1?

    4. JabariParkersEyelid
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Saka to Raphinha looks good.

  9. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Burnley defence EO was 102% last game
    With Mee out and Pieters dropped it is 62% 🙂

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years

  14. FPL Daniel
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Come oooon Tarkowski. 15 pter will do it. A lot.of catching up needed as a non Gundo owner

    1. JabariParkersEyelid
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Could make it up in the City game with Gundo out.

  15. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Guys, would you bring in Raphina for -4 for one week only, if it meant benching Grealish and Watkins ??

    1. BeWater
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Yes I would.

    2. Rupert The Horse
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      1. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I would take Gundo out for week 25 v Arsenal as I dont think he will play and reverse the transfer for 26 ( if fit )

        1. Rupert The Horse
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

    Lads, please, to those of you playing UCL Fantasy: captain Ronaldo v. Porto or keep Salah captain with his 9/18 points so far?

    1. Bandwagondude
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I’m in the same boat and I’m probably going to keep on Salah, but the gamble could definitely pay off if you go for it
