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.

    Differential League 2021 - GW 6 Form, apology for GW 5 and GW 4 results.

    Pick a new team each week with players that have under 10% ownership and see who the differential master is by the end of the season.

    Further rules explained in the form for GW 6 entry here:
    https://forms.gle/gPAztb1X4MF3mzfE9

    GW 5 apology - Due to personal circumstances I was unable to put out the GW 5 form. I even missed my own FPL changes and still had DCL for GW 5!

    GW 4 Results - Stata Dont Lie - 59 points! https://imgur.com/6syusbU
    GW 4 Differential Dream Team - 116 points! https://imgur.com/pGI6ZHV

    This league is very much in the beginning stages and I will share a live leaderboard as soon as I can figure out how to present it well in Google Sheets.

      Don't see Rondon in there. Can we have him?

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

        Apologies must have missed him when I made the form.
        He has been added now.

  3. SpaceCadet

    Bottomed. Is Kovacic worth considering now? Thinking of downgrading jota to kovacic and upgrading bamford to lukaku before gw7.

    1. Poison Apple
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Not so sure abt kovac. Bam to luk is a no brainer. Cant afford Gallagher?

      1. SpaceCadet
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        salah sarr doucoure gallagher xxxx
        ronaldo bamford scarlett

        Already have him. With price changes before gw7, will have only 5.5m itb to get a mid.

        1. Poison Apple
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Nothing stands out at 5.5 mf. May even consider a move of funds to defence. But tat wld most probably cost another trf

          1. SpaceCadet
            • 10 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Yea might downgrade james/ semedo to afford a better mid. Cheers

            1. GreennRed

                • 10 Years
                2 years, 6 months ago

                Cheers. Considered him briefly, then unconsidered him 🙂

            I like Elyounoussi, especially with his fixtures after the IB, just not sure about his naildness

  5. Philosopher's Stones

    Any news about the status of Raphinha yet?

    1. SpaceCadet
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      No

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

    What to do here
    2FT, 0ITB

    Sanchez
    TAA Alonso Marcal
    Gray Salah Jota Mount
    Ronaldo Jimenez Antonio

    Foster Gilmour White Livramento

    1. Walter White (WW)
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Save or replace Marcal & Mount with Fts.

      Saving would allow you get a Chelsea defender next gameweek & downgrade Mount, it seems he isn’t nailed otherwise save again in gw 7 since you may need a Chelsea attacker

      1. Stockport Hatter
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        He can only save 1 because he’s got 2FTs this week

  7. tokara
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    I am thinking of selling Vardy for Antonio due to ownership.

    Advisable?

    1. GreennRed
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yes

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      and you get some nice change.

    3. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      No. I have never made a transfer based on ownership - just form and fixtures. On saying that, Antonio should be in your team regardless given his form this year.

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

        I told myself that 3 weeks ago, everyone cap Antonio and i free fall in rank

        1. Jafalad
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Most have had Antotnio since the start. It was noticeable how the elite players kept hold of him last week.

          1. fish&chips
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            I kept hold of him on WC. So does that make me an elite player? 😀

            Completely agree with your point though. There's a lot of reasons to do that transfer but ownership % shouldn't be one of them.

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

              Well I'm holding him too and I'm no longer an elite player 😉
              Congrats on smashing me out of the ground this week!

        2. Walter White (WW)
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Yes. I was considering getting Vardy/Antonio but Antonio is a beast, extra £ to invest elsewhere + you’ve to consider ownership sometimes tbh

    4. Walter White (WW)
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Would expect Vardy to do well this game-week but Yes

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

    If Raphina is fit would you do Reguilon and Torres to Raphina and Alonso? Gives me
    DDG
    Rudiger Alonso Matip
    Salah Sarr Gray Raphinha
    Antonio Lukaku Ronaldo

    1. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yes. I notice the teams with the Big Three haven't fared so well this week. Sarr bailed a lot of them out.

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

        I had the big 4 and no Sarr, worst week of my season

  9. Jafalad
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Ronaldo's stats are frightening and he has VIL at home next.

    Just wondering what us Lukaku owners should do. Transfer in for one week or not? Have Greenwood.

    1. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Might be a little late after his price rise today unless you have the cash itb to burn

    2. Goonsquad245
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Keep and captain Salah. It’s a toss up anyway

  10. aapoman
    • 10 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Am I in need of a wildcard? Or wait until gw7? 1ft and 1.2itb

      Your team looks quite ok. No need to press wc button.

    2. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I'd say wait if possible unless you do a mock WC you like and you think that waiting a week with price changes would price you out of it

    3. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      No imo, save WC

    4. Philosopher's Stones
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Save the WC. A -4 can easily get you Ronaldo if that's your cause for using the WC this week.

  11. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Is it alright to play Ben White vs Spurs next GW? Not ideal I know but I don't really have much choice and I don't want to take hits for a defender...
    How do you see that NLD playing out, think we could see a tight and cagey affair?

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yes

    2. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      There's usually goals so it is hard to see a cs.

  12. Eleven Hag
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Planning to get Chelsea Double defense and Lukaku after the city game,

    I got James currently, who would you get as the 2nd Def?

    1. ⚔★Vibudh★⚔
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Rüdiger

    2. Jafalad
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I would only feel confident with Rudiger starting each game. Bit surprised Alonso still starts but he is playing well tbf. I thought he almost matched Silva yesterday.

    3. Thomas Magnum
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Rudiger or Mendy if you can afford

    4. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Thnx guyz

  13. drughi
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Awful gameweek and a drop to 289k, getting itchy triggerfinger.

    Sanchez
    TAA Shaw Reguilon
    Sarr Raphinha Gray Salah(C)
    Lukaku Bamford Antonio

    Steele gilmour Tsimikas ayling

    A. Lukaku > Ronaldo -4
    B. Wildcard

    1. Philosopher's Stones
      • 3 Years

      A

    2. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Nah hold

      1. drughi
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Hold off lukaku>Ronaldo ?

    3. The FPL Units
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Hold

    4. LC1
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Your team is similar to what people will be wildcarding to!
      Reguilon to Rudiger or something similar will suffice

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

    Got James & double Wolves def on wildcard which hasn't worked out well. What to do with them now?

    Keep James long term?

    Sell one of Semedo or Marcal for another Chelsea or City def in GW7 or 8?

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Would get rid of one of the Wolves

      1. Philosopher's Stones
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        This

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

        Yeah this make sense. Will try to find the money for Semedo to Rudiger/Dias.

    2. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Keep James

      Semedo to Teirney or white

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

        Sure City or Chelsea defs better options long term?

        1. Eat my goal!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Yes and no

          Double rotation risk

          Christensen is a shout otherwise

          I’m leaning to lukaku and Ronaldo - price increases are getting silly

          Tough matches for ronaldo include EVE lei tot but they are shipping goals!

    3. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Sell Semedo.

  15. DAZZ
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Salah Traore Jota Raphina

    Any of these worth a swap to Sarr? I’m worried nof owning Sarr against Newcastle. Also worried about Traore’s minutes.

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

      Raphinha is he's not fit otherwise I'd just keep the lot for now.

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

        Thanks mate. If Raph confirmed out Raph > Sarr then.

    2. Philosopher's Stones
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Traore to Sarr is an easy move imo. But wait on Raphinha news first.

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

        Tempting. Will wait on Raph news and see if Traore gets meaningful minutes in EFL cup. If he does then i might move.

    3. waldo666
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Traore to Sarr is a no brainer for mine.

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

        Wait and see EFL cup. If traore is benched and rested may be worth keeping

  16. Philosopher's Stones
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    If Raphinha is not fit, what would you do?

    A: Toney -> Bamford and go 343
    B: Roll FT and go 442(Dier the only defender with a tough fixture)

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

      Keep Toney

      1. Davros
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Even with those fixtures?

      2. Philosopher's Stones
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Upcoming fixtures quite tough. Will definitely bring him back in GW10 if I do sell.

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

    I'm in free fall, bringing in Rudiger this week probably wont help but i want him long term and it's probably better than starting Sissoko/White?

    Sanchez
    TAA Rudiger Shaw Livramento
    Salah Jota Benrahma Gallagher
    Ronaldo Lukaku
    Steele Sissoko White Scarlett

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

      Have you already made the move for Rudi?

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

        No but i have 1.5 ITB and want to do Williams to Rudiger, he will rise in the price this week knowing my luck and i will be priced out of a chelsea defender just before their run.

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

          Then do it

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

            I will hold off as long as i can but i dont trust fpl statistics one bit

  18. Claudio555
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Really don’t know what to do with Torres. Keep for another gw or sell? If sell, who to get? Maximum 7,8m. Already got Salah, Jota, Sarr and Gilmour.

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

      I sold for Gallagher last night, who looks like a great long term value pick given his involvement. I dont think you need any City for the next 2 and that gives a bit more time to gather information.

      I've got a few plans Im mulling over - the 2 and 3 premium strat.

      For the 2 strat, I'll probably hokey cokey Grealish in for GW8, as Lukaku frees up 1mln over Ronaldo. Grealish is leading my creative stats tables and has goals in him, seems more nailed if that means anything under Pep.
      The 3 strat does not do City as it cant afford benchings.

    2. Claudio555
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Thanks, great advice. What about Gray?

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

        doesnt have the stats to support his output. expect a regression unless you think he is the next Willock/Lingard

  19. Davros
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Jimi back to Antonio for free is no brainer when looking at both form and fixtures, right?

      Easiest transfer you'll make.

      yes

  20. Miguel Sanchez

    Thinking I’m good to save this GW, then can move to a 433 with Doucoure and Ayling to Brownhill and Rudiger in GW7

    Did Raph injury look bad?

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

      Looked precautionary sun to stop it getting worse.

      Birlsa is usually pretty transparent in pressers so we should know the status before the next deadline.

      Precautionary - we don’t know the extent of the injury (hip)

    3. Walter White (WW)
      • 2 Years

      No. Probably precaution

    Has mount been coming back from injury? Or just rotated the 2 game weeks just gone?

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

      Hasn’t quite been in form, once he hits form he will be a much more regular feature in the team but no one safe from rotation under Tuchel with the squad available to him at Chelsea.

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

        Tuchel pulled off yet another in game tactical masterclass. Mount was fine being Mount first half, but Tuchel saw Kante would be more effective against Spurs' press.

    2. el polako
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Or just a proof that Tuchel is new Pep and nobody is truly nailed.

  26. Gabbiadini
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    I've had Jimenez the last two weeks for Watford & Brentford fixtures, alongside Ronaldo and Lukaku... yes no Antonio v Southampton.
    However, I'm really unsure what to do.
    I can not see Lage going with an unchanged side again, I think there will be rotation in particular the forwards. What do people think?

    1. Eleven Hag
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Jimmy to Antonio?

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

        That's a thought definitely.
        0.0 ITB so Shaw to Christensen would work but ideally I am looking at Rudiger.

    2. Holmes
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Got to keep for sou, NEW I think

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

        Most likely, I will yes.
        However, my optimism isn't the greatest. Watford was an ideal fixture I targetted on a WC two weeks ago and that didn't return.

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

        I'd move Saints into the very-hard-to-score-against category now.

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

          I like that assessment.

    Hello Chilwell @ 5.6 and Stones soon to be 5.2.

    Once they start a couple there will be a mad scramble to get them in.

    1. George Agdgdgwngo
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Stones may not play

  29. Bavarian

    Sa & Semedo
    to
    Ramsdale/Guaita & Rudiger ?

    Anyone not convinced but the tough run for Ronaldo?

    Second guessing my strategy to switch to Lukaku.

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

      He can't rely on goalkeepers spooning the ball at his feet every match.

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

        He should have had a penalty, so.

    2. Cok3y5murf

      That's just the recency bias talking

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

        Has to be. It's also most of his goals for United (2nd coming)

        1. Eat my goal!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          I don’t think EVE lei or tot are going to keep him at bay

          He’ll be 13 soon so a way back becomes infinitely tricky

      2. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        To be clear i still think lukaku is a must but leaning to the double up

    3. Hiiler
      • 2 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Have Ronaldo myself. But I think rightnow they are even. Ok. Lukaku has had 2 more games, but both have got 3 goals from 2 games. Ronaldo has palyed only 2 games. So yeah rightnow it's hard to choose between them if you have to choose. GW 6 is not gonna change that, since Man city and Aston villa are not comparable opponents.

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

      Im mulling over 2 strats - just Rom, or Ron & Rom.

      However the problem is the captaincy. I cant see where im going to captain Ron GW8 - 13. I generally want my players to be scoring 25ppm over the season during their time in my team. Without captaincy he'll need to earn me 50pts over those 6 weeks and I just dont see it with the fixtures Im afraid.

      Now it is possible that I look to go with the Ron & Rom strat after GW13, with a little more team value built.

      1. Eat my goal!
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Interesting, my concern is trying to bring him back

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

          I wouldnt worry about his value. Already at 45% ownership (55% is about the max it can be). All 2 premium stratters will be selling GW7/8, not to mention casuals will follow suit when there is a Rom brace + Ron blank in lets say GW10. It going to be very difficult for him to get to 13mln and stay there.

    5. Well you know, Triffic
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Ronaldo will score against anyone. His career + the recent Euros serve as evidence of this. Also, factor in that he hasn't had much decent service at United (lack of quality crosses) yet is still posting strong numbers and goals. He also should of had a pen yesterday. My point is, he's nowhere near up and running but is still banging goals in. He will want the golden boot this season so fixture hokey cokey is a risk with him from a fpl pov

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

        based on a sample size of NEW whu you may well be right.
        but you are extrapolating a 361pt season at his current scoring rate.
