Scoreboard

FPL Gameweek 5 round-up: Sunday’s goals, assists, bonus and injuries

Cristiano Ronaldo (£12.6m) scored again for Manchester United as Said Benrahma (£6.4m) rewarded his owners with his first goal since Gameweek 2.

Neal Maupay (£6.5m) and Danny Welbeck (£6.0m) inspired Brighton and Hove Albion moved up to fourth after a 2-1 win over Leicester City, while Chelsea kept another clean sheet at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

Our usual, more detailed Scout Notes will follow for all of today’s games but in the meantime, our long-dormant Scoreboard series rounds up the key goings-on.

The graphics below are taken from LiveFPL, Ragabolly’s excellent and ever-expanding website, and our own Premium Members Area.

GOALS, ASSISTS, PROJECTED BONUS

FPL TAKEAWAYS

  • Since making his second Manchester United debut in Gameweek 4, Cristiano Ronaldo has registered three goals, 13 goal attempts, 12 shots in the box, five big chances and 3.24 expected goals (xG), all league-leading totals. During that time, team-mate Bruno Fernandes (£12.0m) has managed just one attempt in the box, though it did hit the post.
  • Following today’s game, Luke Shaw (£5.5m) ranks 30th amongst all defenders for FPL points with 18. Despite that, his 14 chances created is only bettered by Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.6m), Jack Grealish (£8.0m) and Raul Jimenez (£7.5m), while his average position (no 23) v West Ham United was as advanced as Mason Greenwood (£7.7m) on the opposite flank.

Manchester United’s average position map v West Ham United in Gameweek 5

  • Man Utd delivered 33 crosses into the box against West Ham, their highest total in a single league game so far this season, with Shaw responsible for 16 of them.
  • Benrahma’s deflected effort for West Ham opened the scoring at the London Stadium, his first goal since Gameweek 2. The Algerian now ranks second amongst all midfielders for FPL points, only behind Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah (£12.5m). Next up for the Hammers is a trip to Leeds United.
  • Brighton moved up to fourth in the Premier League table after a 2-1 victory over Leicester City, their fourth win of the season. Budget enabler Shane Duffy (£4.2m) supplied the assist for Maupay’s penalty, and has now provided 27 FPL points across his five starts.
  • It’s now three defeats in five matches for Brendan Rodgers’ Foxes in 2021/22. However, Jamie Vardy (10.4m) continues to produce, with three goals, one assist and five bonus points during that time.
  • It was a quiet afternoon for Spurs duo Harry Kane (£12.2m) and Son Heung-min (£10.0m), as Chelsea restricted them to a combined four shots, with just one arriving in the box.
  • Marcos Alonso (£5.7m) made his fifth consecutive start today, as Ben Chilwell (£5.7m) still waits to play his first minute of Premier League football this season. Today’s assist for the Spaniard – his second attacking return of the campaign – means that he is now the top scoring defender in the game.

INJURIES AND BANS

The best goalkeepers for UEFA Champions League Fantasy

Edouard Mendy (£6.0m) missed out for Chelsea today, with Kepa Arrizabalaga (£4.9m) replacing him in goal.

The Senegalese stopper was involved in a collision towards the end of Chelsea’s 1-0 win over Zenit on Tuesday, which meant he had trouble diving.

“Edou got a huge hit, we tried everything in the last days but he never felt fully comfortable in diving.” – Thomas Tuchel

Yves Bissouma (£4.6m) appeared to pick up a knock at the Amex Stadium. Despite not being taken off initially, he was finally withdrawn after 79 minutes, with Graham Potter providing an update after the match:

“He was desperate to play, the medical department were ok with it. He extended his knee a little bit. As the game starts to go on, the fatigue might be a problem, but he was desperate to go out. It was a decision for the medical department.”

Elsewhere, Son made a surprise return from injury and played the full 90 minutes for Spurs, as did team-mate Eric Dier (£4.6m). 

However, the injuries sustained by Lucas Moura (£6.5m) and Steven Bergwijn (£6.0m) in the Europa Conference League kept them out.

After serving one-match bans in Gameweek 5, Japhet Tanganga (£4.6m) and Michail Antonio (£7.9m) will both now be available for their respective teams next weekend.

        Just used FT. Was fuming myself going for James instead of Alonso on WC. So got Alonso now lol

    2. Hy liverpool
      • 10 Years

      Semedo over livramento or Duffy

    Looking for a midfielder to replace Grealish just for the next week before I WC. Any suggestions??

    1. La Roja
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Depends on your team and budget

    2. Arvin-ation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I like Benrahma or Greenwood, Sarr even. For just a week anyway

    3. 1984 TC
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Salah

    4. Kryptonite666
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Benrahma against Leeds or Gray against Norwich. Even Sarr has a good fixture I think ?

  8. JollyGoodYellows
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Does Barnes need to go here? Feel like home against Burnley should be his last chance.

    1FT and 0.5itb

    Sanchez
    TAA Shaw Semedo
    Salah Barnes Jota Benrahma
    Ronaldo Toney Antonio

    Steele Livramento White Gilmour

    1. FER FUSCH AKE
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      If you still have Barnes up to now, then might as well keep since you can't bring yourself to sell him.

  9. ViperStripes
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Bottomed:
    Kovacic - why no love, 1 goal and 3 assists in 5 GW's, fixtures get easier from GW7 and he's only 5.1m

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

      I don’t get it either. I’ll be getting him in for GW7 as my third Chelsea player for that spell theirs

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

      If he's still 5.0 I would consider it, nice round number, seeing 5.1 rattles me.

    3. Kryptonite666
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Just take a look at the number of goals in his Chelsea career and you’ll have the answer.

  10. Atimis
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Thoughts on below?

    Bruno Scarlet to 4.5 CR7 -4 and (c) him GW 6 and 7.
    Before GW9, CR7 to Kaku (c).

    Or should I wait until GW7 and get Kaku?

    Time for bed.
    Going to sleep like a baby.

    1. La Roja

      Who do they say sleep like a baby? Babies wake up every bloody hour

    2. Arvin-ation

      Goodnight Tina. How's this season going foryou?

    3. ViperStripes
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years

      So in a sleeping bag with no pillow cuddling lots of toys and possibly on your knees with bum in the air. While waking up every few hours screaming for a hug.

  12. CroatianHammer

    A green arrow. Small, but green.
    Allons-y!

  13. FER FUSCH AKE
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Will Antonio drop to 7.8 before the next deadline?

    1. Kryptonite666
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Extremely unlikely I’d think.

    2. tommo1989
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      He’s locked so he can’t drop

  14. FER FUSCH AKE
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Anyone did better than 84 pts all out. I'm super happy with that.

    1. Arvin-ation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Just 84? 187 points here, still got a few to go as well!

    2. Tommy Tynans Left Shin Pad

      73 and a proper semi-on this eve. Delighted!

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

      Well done, that’s a fantastic score!! I’ll end up on 75 which I’m extremely happy with. Thought I was looking at a car crash GW with TAA not playing, Coady hitting 0 and Jota blanking but goals from Ronnie, Rudiger and Bemrahma turned it around

    Are you still planning on Ronaldo out? Fixtures say yes still but getting harder to do it…

    1. Arvin-ation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Think will be keeping both him and Lukaku. Not sure where I'd spend the funds anyway if I'd ditch

      1. chaser123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yeh fair enough. I haven’t got Lukaku yet but will need him. Ronaldo is the obvious route…

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

      Fixtures say Ronaldo out? Villa and Everton at home?

      1. chaser123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        From GW7/8

    3. Make United Great Again

      Keeping

    4. mrelpea

      Keeping and getting lukaku for next gameweek already

      1. chaser123
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        How are you finding him?

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

          Sold DCL for Scarlett last week and doing Antonio/Jota to Lukaku/Sarr for a hit for GW6. This leaves me 1.3 itb and gives me this lot:

          Sanchez/Steele
          TAA, Rudiger, Coady, livramento,Dier
          Salah, Raphinha, Bemrahma,Sarr, Allan
          Ronaldo,Lukaku, Scarlett

          Will probably upgrade Allan to Kovacic or Gallagher for GW7 then. Feels risky getting rid of Antonio but I have a gut feeling I need to do this

          1. chaser123
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Looks decent! I think 442 is the way to go if going with the big three. But I’m nervous about Antonio too

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

              Cheers mate. Also nervous about extent of Raphinha injury so will wait and see before pulling the trigger, but gut instinct is telling me to go for it

    5. dshv
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Thinking to do Ronaldo to Lukaku in gw8 … but i don’t loose that goalscorer..

    6. Alexis Nonsense
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Not until gameweek 7 or maybe even 8/9

  17. squ1rrel
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    The number one in the world clearly hacked? His team this GW is completely different than the last, only says 1 FT used and no chips, but clearly different

    1. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      He played freehit last week.

  18. Alexis Nonsense
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    A high scoring week on average?

    Gameweek rank of 3.6 million with 63 points seem a bit harsh

  19. F_Ivanovic
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Why are people selling Torres after one benching? We all knew it would happen at some point and they weren't able to score either with him not on the pitch.

    1. Stranger Mings
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Guess because Next 2 difficult fixtures

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

        Did they not think about those fixtures when they bought him? It was silly to buy a player who's going to get rested when you know a couple of tough fixtures are coming up.

        1. Stranger Mings
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          True , I think he will play v Chelsea it’s just whether he can get any returns

  20. AC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    It’s funny how quick this game can change. Would you prefer captain Ronaldo home to Everton or Lukaku home to Southampton? Definitely not as clear cut as we may have thought a week or so ago.

    1. Arvin-ation
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Lukaku for me, United fan and I think Chelsea will be a lot better and breaking Southampton down then United with Everton.

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

        Just Southampton playing much better lately and they have hospital in Everton

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

      Definitely, it will be a close(er) call. Seems like Ronaldo gets on every rebound.

  21. Fish up a tree
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Is James to Rudiger madness

    1. AC
