Gameweek 4 promises to be bedlam with yellow flags aplenty, quarantining players, late returnees and possible FIFA bans – but you could still be £10,000 richer come Sunday night!

Best of all, it won’t cost you a penny to be in with a chance of landing the huge cash windfall.

We’re talking about the free-to-play weekly Fantasy5 game, where there are various other prizes on offer beyond the whopping jackpot.

You can even set up a mini-league and compete with colleagues, friends and family.

It’s as simple as this: pick five players from the nominated Gameweek 4 matches below and, if they all exceed their ‘points targets’ (a par score set by Fantasy5 for each asset), you’ll be in the money.

Guess who is top among all Manchester City assets for shots in the box this season? Not Ferran Torres, not Gabriel Jesus, not Jack Grealish… but one Aymeric Laporte. As with most defenders in Fantasy5, he’ll need an attacking return to surpass his points target. But with seven attempts on goal in just two appearances, he’s got as good a chance as any stopper of achieving that. Leicester’s vulnerability at dead-ball situations, plus some ongoing uncertainty about centre-half availability for the Foxes, further solidifies our pick.

FPL managers may be umm-ing and ahh-ing about whether to deconstruct their teams to fit Cristiano Ronaldo in but there’s no such long-term worry with picking the veteran Portuguese as a one-week punt in Fantasy5. Two goals (barring any bookings) will see him over his points target; given that Newcastle United have conceded more big chances than any other team bar Arsenal, he’ll surely have plenty of opportunities at Old Trafford – starting or otherwise.

Two attacking returns (even a brace of assists) will see FPL’s top points-scorer, Michail Antonio, over his target this weekend. He’s done that on three occasions already and given West Ham’s recent record against Southampton (they are unbeaten in seven), plus Saints’ defensive woes (two clean sheets in 25 games), there’s every reason to back him again.

Aston Villa will be without Emiliano Martinez this weekend, so two goals for Romelu Lukaku – providing he can shrug off a minor thigh issue – should, in theory, be a mite easier to achieve for the Belgian. Eight shots for Lukaku against Arsenal in Gameweek 2 was an ominous sign of things to come.

With Roberto Firmino’s availability uncertain on Sunday, Diogo Jota could be thrust straight back into the Liverpool starting XI. With two goals in as many starts this season, and with underlying ‘per 90’ stats almost as good as or even better than Mohamed Salah’s, the Portugal international may find joy against a Leeds backline that has allowed the joint-highest number of chances to be created from central positions than any other team.

HOW DOES FANTASY5 WORK?

Image

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.

For the more detailed lowdown, head here.

The competition is limited to one entry per person per round and selections must be submitted before kick-off of the first eligible match.

If two or more entrants correctly select five players who all score more than their points target, then the prize pot is split among all winners.

    Not on WC. One question should I get in Gray for Brownhill ahead of GW4?

    Sánchez
    Alexander-Arnold Tierney Shaw
    Greenwood Salah Raphinha Torres
    Antonio Toney Ronaldo

    (Gunn) Duffy Brownhill Williams (£1.1m ITB)

    Am presently ranked 70,000 or so but have already taken a 4 point hit this week to get in Ronaldo, Torres & Williams for Ings, Fernandez & Tsimikas. Would be ok with Duffy being auto subbed in but maybe not Brownhill - worried about Raphinha AND Torres not starting now!

    1. Pacer.
      • 9 Years

      Just use the subs. That's what they're there for. You'll probably be up against it to beat them with hits and you'll be left with a million on your bench annoying you. And there Torres will play to compound it

      1. Heard Island Tangerine Exil…
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Cheers Pacer. Going to take your advice & leave it alone. Will do Pukki for Toney next week & then I'll have £1.6m ITB to use ahead of GW6 to upgrade Torres, Tierney or even Brownhill if starting doubts still persist. Only got GW6 & 7 to worry about as going to wildcard ahead of GW8.

        1. Pacer.
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          It's always so tempting once you've already taken a hit to take another.

  2. TheTinman

    Personally I think Greenwood will dramatically decrease his appeal if he moves to the wing.

    Greenwood rotation between Bench and Wing is far worse than Greenwood rotation between Striker and Wing as he has been or Stiker and Bench as he soon will be once others are back.

    Let's see how it plays out but I have him in mind to be ahead of GW5 or GW6.

    1. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      'Will be' in 2nd paragraph should say "Would have been'

    2. I Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I've owned him from the start so I'm happy to keep for Newcastle this week but after that I'll be looking to move him on. Too many attackers at United.

      1. TheTinman
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Same for me.

    3. Karan14
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Im not sure I agree with that.
      His last 2 goals came when he was shifted on the wing.
      More defenders will be attracted towards Ronaldo playing in the center so Greenwood could have more space on the right to get shots.
      Also Rashford will only be back after next IB and Sancho is stilling finding his feet so I reckon Greenwood comfortably starts the next 3-4 games.

      1. TheTinman
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah I'm talking about moving him out after the next 2-3 games

        1. RichieW
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          ME too, thinking probably Greenwood>Mount for GW7

  3. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Hello folks. Any Wilson injury updates?

    1. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Nothing concrete but likely out

  4. Heard Island Tangerine Exil…
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Not on WC. One question should I get in Gray for Brownhill ahead of GW4?

    Sánchez
    Alexander-Arnold Tierney Shaw
    Greenwood Salah Raphinha Torres
    Antonio Toney Ronaldo

    (Gunn) Duffy Brownhill Williams (£1.1m ITB)

    Am presently ranked 70,000 & already taken a 4 point hit this week to get in Ronaldo, Torres & Williams for Ings, Fernandez & Tsimikas. Would be ok with Duffy being auto subbed in but maybe not Brownhill - worried about Raphinha AND Torres not starting now!

    1. TheTinman

      Don't think Gray keeps it up personally.

      1. Heard Island Tangerine Exil…
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I hope not now as going to resist the transfer temptation & hope my bench guys step up if required to post some numbers. Am even unsure now if Toney to Pukki is worthwhile next week - is there a better option from next week with only £7.5m to spend?

  5. Evasivo
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    So who will take Man Utd penalties?! 😮

    1. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      CR7 of course

    2. Thanos
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Ronaldo??

    3. Evasivo
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Harsh to take it off Bruno with such consistency tho…

      1. TheTinman
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        It honestly doesn't matter. CR7 is first choice penalty taker everywhere he plays for last 10 years or so and he will be until he retires, harsh or not

    4. 2001: A Space Origi
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I think we will find out this weekend, Manure always get penalties awarded...LOL

  6. I Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Is anyone not going for Ronaldo?

    My plans depend on DCL's fitness. If he's available I'll just do Ings to him and pray Bruno can keep up with Ronaldo over the next 3. If he's out I'll probably take the hit for Ronaldo.

    1. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Roughly 80% of players in the game.

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      o/

      Bruno(c)

    3. Bubz
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Quite possibly. I think I prefer Lukaku

    4. Pacer.
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Just buy em all and chuck away the duds

    5. 2001: A Space Origi
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      definitely not yet, want to see him play 2 full games first!

    6. We Go Again
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Going without. My logic is that DCL has great fixtures, and I have Salah captain for next 3, then I would have gotten rid of Ronaldo for Lukaku in GW7 anyway. Makes no sense for me unless I was using WC

  7. Amans94
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Have both Son & ESR in my squad, not confident on ESR playing v Norwich based on Arteta's comments, if Son was out too would that be enough grounds to pull the WC?

    Current squad:

    Sanchez (Steele)
    TAA Shaw Coufal (Ayling, Tsimikas)
    Salah Bruno Son Benrahma ESR
    Toney Antonio (Perica)

  8. Khark
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    On WC. Ronaldo and Lukaku, no Salah. Have Jota and Trent.

    Plan - Gameweek 7 or 8 to make sure i have 2 free transfers and do Jota - Salah (when firminio is back) and Ronaldo down to hopefully a Jimenez.

    Can anybody talk me out of this than the obvious "you don't have Salah" as it's literally temporary. My plan is 2 have 2 premiums all season and chop and change between them. Starting Ronaldo and Lukaku.

    1. I Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Who you captaining in GW5 when Ronaldo and Lukaku play West Ham and Spurs respectively? If you're happy to go with Jota or somebody else then fine but Salah will be the most popular captain that week.

      1. Khark
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I knew this would be the comment haha That fixture is literally the only reason giving me any doubt. Im tempted to go rogue and stick it on Trent and hide behind the sofa!

        1. FPL Theorist
          • 4 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Ronaldo against a leaky West Ham is a perfectly good captain.

          1. Nimby
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 5 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            No he's not. West Ham will batter man yoo.

    2. We Go Again
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      If your plan is to bring back Salah anyway then I don't see the point in leaving him out for Ronaldo, as he has 3 very captainable fixtures leading up to GW7, where you would then take Ronaldo out anyway. Wouldn't it be better to just keep Salah, and save those FT you would end up using for a rainy day?

  9. Bocaginge
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Is Hwang likely to be 1st team at Wolves? He looked awesome at RB Salzburg a few seasons ago. Wondering if he’s a good differential in to the Wolves attack (especially if Jimenez out for GW4)

    1. Khark
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Interested in this myself. If he came in who do you expect it to be for? Podence is back aswell.

      1. Bocaginge
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I wonder if he’s seen as a partner up front for Jimenez in a 4-4-2 rather than the 4-3-3 they’ve lined up with so far.

  10. M2.0
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    On WC, worth downgrading defence to try and squeeze in Jota? (0m itb)

    —————Sanchez——————
    -—-Dias —- Reguillon—-TAA ——
    Traore - Salah - Raphina - Torres

    1. Dr. Rog

      Raph isnt playing right?

      1. M2.0
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Unconfirmed yet, but i’m still tempted to hold and bench him

    2. 2001: A Space Origi
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I would want to see at least 1 x Nailed on player on the bench as cover for scoring a duck!

    3. MGMT
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      If Pep rotares Ferran and DCL isnt fit, that leaves you with an 8 man team… maybe reduce the risk and get a safer player for any of them.

  11. how now brown cow
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Who will get most points over the season:

    A - lukaku
    B - ronaldo
    C - kane

    I'm really unsure. Kane still not 100% for me yet, will ronaldo be?

    1. gergin
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      А with a good margin.

    2. cravencottage
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Lukaku will probably get the best service. Spurs not that attacking under Nuno

    3. 2001: A Space Origi
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      D - Salah!!

      1. Khark
        • 8 Years

        Hes a midfielder!

  12. Dr. Rog

    Arsenal had better do something this weekend.

    1. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      They will do something, just might not be a good thing.

      1. Dr. Rog
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        FF is great. Otherwise I detest football.

    2. 2999 - Lady of Legend
      • 3 Years

      The only way is up! 🙂

    3. I Member

      Time for Ben White to repay the faith.

    4. Dr. Rog
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Arteta talks about a grand plan.

      I want to know why the clubs best centre back has been on loan in France for the past 3 seasons.

      I suspect he wasnt willing to give Arteta his weekly handjob.

    5. 2001: A Space Origi
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I heard the reason they signed the keeper Ramsdale is because he has been relegated twice and wants the treble!! 😀

  13. Bobby Digital
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    From GW5 ➡

    A. Jimenez
    or
    B. Bamford

    1. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      B. Not seen enough of jiminez yet to know he's back as he was before.

  14. cravencottage
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years

    Which looks best:

    A) DCL and Sarr
    B) Jiminez and Raphina

    1. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years

      Fixtures or not I would def.have a Chelsea def in my Wc and look to double up by gw7

    2. MGMT
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Think Jimenez will not play GW4 due to covid/quarantine regulations

      1. MGMT
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        + Raphinha

  16. Greenbackbøøg…
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    How do we think spurs defence lines up this week? Does Emerson make it with Tanganga cb?

    1. I Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Could well be. Sanchez and Romero out right?

      1. Greenbackbøøg…
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yup

    2. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Rondon could play cb, or Doherty rb.

      Not certain.

    3. lilmessipran
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Hard to call that

  17. lilmessipran
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    If Raph isn't available for this week, who would you start?

    A Gilmour
    B Ayling

    1. I Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A

    2. Greenbackbøøg…
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I'd go ahead and confidently never start gilmour tbh

      1. I Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Think he has a better chance of sneaking an assist against Arsenal than Ayling does of getting anything against Pool.

      2. Harry the Hack
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        isn't he on set pieces? Norwich have a great run

        1. Khark
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Hes on corners, not sure about free kicks

          1. Harry the Hack
            • 14 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            ah ok that's what i was thinking of. Wasn't sure as I don't have him and don't follow Norwich closely.

  18. M2.0
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Eric Dier Nailed?

    1. how now brown cow
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Not medium term. Any 2 from Romero, Sanchez, Dier.

      1. M2.0
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        rats

    2. M2.0
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      My dilemma is:

      a) Dias/Reguillon/Traore
      b) Christiansen/Dier/Jota

  19. Pep Roulette
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Any Arsenal fan? How's Odegaard as an option for upcoming gameweeks?

    1. Gunneryank
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      You couldn't pay me to start him. Too soon.

  20. Thanos
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Regulion the most assured starter in that Spurs backline?

    1. Khark
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah. Still not convinced on spurs defence despite owning Regulion the last few weeks - infact i've taken him out this week on my wildcard.

      1. M2.0
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        What’s your WC defence?

  21. FCSB
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Think I’ve narrowed it down to the following, what is the best option… assuming Raphinha is allowed to play:

    1. Fernandes Ings >> Torres Ronaldo
    2. Fernandes Ings >> Raphinha Ronaldo
    3. Tsimikas Fernandes Ings >> Livramento Jota Ronaldo (-4)

    Cheers

    1. I Member
      • 8 Years

      Probably 1 unless Firmino is out for a while but doesn't seem like he is.

  22. M2.0
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Any thoughts?

    a) Dias/Reguillon/Traore
    b) Christiansen/Dier/Jota

  23. I Member
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Might fancy a Richarlison punt if DCL is ruled out.

    1. M2.0
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Shhhh

    2. The Wise Owl
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Isn't Richarlison also banned?

      1. M2.0
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Nope, he’s mates with the Brazilian FA so he’s exempt from the ban. And no, im not joking.

      2. Harry the Hack

        no cos he went to the olympics so Brazil didn't pursue him

        Just read that Richarlison is not banned, as Brazil have not invoked the 5-day rule.

      Will he be available? Lots of Brazilians missing out

    is it worth a WC to go from:

    Sanchez/4.0
    White/Amartey/TAA/Dier/Livramento
    Salah/Pogba/Bruno/Son/Benrahma
    Toney/Perica/Antonio

    To

    Sanchez/4.0
    Ayling/Amartey/TAA/Dier/Livramento
    Salah/Torres/Gray/Son/Benrahma
    Ronaldo/Dennis/Antonio

      How nailed do you think Dier is? I haven’t watched much spurs so can’t comment on how good he’s played

    Which is better?

    1. Pukki + Sarr
    2. Richa + 4.5 mid

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Neither please

      1. Thanos
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Best combo upto 12 for mid + forward then?

    2. Rassi
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Pukki + Sarr is good.

      1. Rassi
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Both on penalties.

        Thanks

    I've still got 0.5 ITB, any improvements needed?

    Sa
    TAA Shaw Rudiger White
    Salah Greenwood Jota Torres
    Ronaldo Antonio
    4.0 Allan Ayling Scarlett

      Bench is rank, why Ayling Leeds are terrible in defence!

    Ramsdale may start for Gunners and that really puts me off White on my WC.

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      The Arsenal defence is a disgrace but White is a good enabler especially if he drops to 4.3

      1. Thanos
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Hardly any value there if Arsenal can't keep CS. He doesn't have any attacking potential either. Rather not have at all imo

    Still no news on dcl, brazilian players and jimenez…

    Madness to try to squeeze in 'the big four'?

    Sanchez (4.0)
    Trent - Shaw - Duffy (Livramento, Williams)
    Salah - Raphinha - Benrahma - Gray (Allan)
    Ronaldo - Lukaku - Antonio

    (Admittedly I'm 0.1 off this if Torres rises again so it'd probably have to be Benrahma out for Sarr or similar).

    1. WVA
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Fornals might be better than Benrahma anyway

      1. Gunneryank
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Another member of the Fornals fan club? Nice.

    Should I get rid of Martinez for a hit?

    He won't play this week and poor fixtures ahead.

      is your reserve keeper playing? If not, i say the hit is worth it
