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.

    is everyone giving Jota one more week and then shipping?

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

      No. Shipped him and Grealish last night.

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

        Who for?

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

          Son and Smith Rowe.

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

            Could be golden

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

              Hopefully. I had both in GW1. I know what Son can do. I think there's good potential in Smith Rowe for a bargain price.

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

      I don't own but would ditch, just be aware that as soon as you do he is bound to score. Such a frustrating player which is why I've steered clear entirely this season.

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

      Yeah, one more week before being sealed and shipped.

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

      Holding him. You need to give him 4 weeks minumum.

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

      If I didn't have Tsimikas blocking a Liverpool spot, I would've had Jota.

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

      I think worth keeping one more week

    7. Now I'm Panicking

      Probabaly

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

      Not only that he brought me points, but he saved me from going for Jota. Tsimikas ya beauty!

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

      Yes, brought him in for 2 games and that hasn't changed

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

      shipping for Raph or Mount at this stage

    11. Maeki2
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Jots is a 7m player dont expect him to score every week. He missed open goal last game

    12. ElliotJHP
      • 11 Years

    What are RonaldNO owners doing this week?

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

      Waiting for Mark

    2. GreennRed
      • 12 Years

      Sleep, Work, Eat, hopefully a few scoops!

    3. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      One final sofa and then I don't care about him anyway until GW14

    4. joey
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Fully expecting a red arrow. If he blanks against Villa then it's a right result but can't see it, after that his fixtures turn and I hope Lukaku outscores him.

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

    Of the following, which side do you fall on?

    A: love a defensive double up if team is rock solid and decent fixtures
    B: hate a defensive double up as a single goal is all it takes to wipe out 2 CSs at once

    1. Weak Become Heros
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A

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

      A

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

      A

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

      Chelsea A, Brighton B

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

      A with chelsea

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

      the chelsea double up saved my season last year. azpi + rudi

  5. Inter Me Gran
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Sick of Pep roulette. Torres > Sarr?

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

      It's an interesting call between Sarr, Gallagher and Gray. Sarr wins most of the metrics. Gallagher is so cheap though. Shame about his fixtures.

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

        Are Gallaghers fixtures really that bad?

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

          Not terrible.

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

      With pts dropped against Saints, he could choose to start his best 11 most games in the league ?

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

        There is no such thing for Pep. Look at the teams he started in the most important Champions League knockout games in the last few seasons, completely random teams. Best 11 is different for every game.

    3. Maeki2
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Is sarr even good?

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

    Save FT this week or replace Amartey? 1FT, £0.9m ITB

    Sanchez, Foster
    TAA, Shaw, White, Livramento, Amartey
    Salah, Jota, Raphinha, Benrahma, Bissouma
    Ronaldo, Antonio, Bamford

    1. Laurel and Vardy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I have 12 of those (only difference is Coufal, Sarr and Gilmour to yours White, Raphinha and Bissouma) and definitely saving FT this week.

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

        Thank you

    2. Jase3377
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I have 12 the same as well. Steele, Digne, Gray to Foster, Amartey and Raph.
      Saving

      Will be selling Digne, Shaw and Jota in coming weeks (and maybe Ron to Rom)

  7. Kingy109
    • 2 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Planning to use FT this week to raise funds for Ings -> Lukaku next week
    Son -> Everton mid vs Norwich looks tempting but which one?
    A) Gray
    B) Townsend
    C) Doucoure
    D) Just roll and use 2 FTs for Lukaku GW7

    Can be punty as I'm likely to use WC after the next international break

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

      A

  8. Tripleh123
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Advisable to do a double up OF Alonso+Rudiger in GW7 or it is too risky?

    Looking to trf Williams> Rudiger in GW7

    Currently have a backline & keeper option of Dias,TAA, Alonso,Duffy, Williams

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

      I'm currently on it, only concern is impending return of Chilwell eating into Alonso's games

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

      I’m doubling on Rudiger and James from GW7 but we’ll aware there will be weeks one of them misses out

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

        I like Rudiger + Cancelo option.

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

    Greenwood owners..

    Against aston villa - keep, after that get rid ?

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Ronaldo has pretty much set out his stall that he'll be the only one scoring goals in that team

      He could have put Greenwood in a couple times vs. West Ham

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

        Yeah. Agree with this. I've got to get rid of Greenwood, think I'm giving him this one more week though as I'm unsure of which way to go.

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

          Same here.

      2. FPL Brains
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yup agree.

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

      Agreed Greenwood was not given the ball when in good space numerous times. Perhaps a sign of how things will be now. Didn't like seeing him taken off - is his starting place at risk for AV next week now?

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

        Sancho had more poor games than him this season, but I wouldn't be too surprised to see Sancho back and him benched.

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

        Not to mention Lingard nocking at the door with two cameo goals.

        1. Meme2011
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          i'm more worried about lingard taking his spot

    3. Maeki2
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Lingard looked hot asf

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

    Jota + bamford+ 4m defender
    Or
    4.5 mid + lukaku + livra

    If i choose 2nd, it will give me 3 premium with trent, but no leeds and have to play livra everyweek

    1. FPL Brains
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Didn't you just get 74? I'd hold.

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

        Not now. After gw7

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

          Nothing wrong with playing Livra. Wish he hadn’t been on my bench this week.

  11. Energetics
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Disastrous week for me. 50k OR- 250k OR, 2- 14th in ML.

    What to do now?

    Sanchez
    Taa Shaw Semedo Livramento
    Salah Jota Raphina Traore
    Cr7 Lukaku

    Steele Sissoko Williama Locadia

    Plan was to roll and do Jota and Williams to Rudiger and Gallagher in 7 followed by Shaw to Cancelo in 8.

    However I as I only have the exact money I am going to be priced out of these moves. Should I prioritise and just do Shaw to Rudiger this week?

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

      Ouch, thats tough! Especially with a good team like yours!

      Shaw to Rudiger looks good. Can just keep your eyes on prices changes and pull the trigger last minute

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

        Yeah things really havent went my way last two weeks. Semedo, Jota and Traore all should have hauled. Meanwhile most of my ML got 10 points from a deflected Benny goal of their bench.

        Really wanted to keep Shaw for Villa, would have been much better just getting Rudiger in GW 4 WC, costly mistake!

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

    Thoughts on the below ?

    For GW6: Keep Bruno, keep FT, (c) Salah
    For GW7: Scarlet Bruno Shaw to Kaku (c) 4.5 Rudi -4
    For GW8: Greenwood to Grealish

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

      Other than Gealish, looks alright

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

      Yes it seems fine. I wouldn't be happy about holding Greenwood that long. We will see how he goes this weekend but he might be worth a hit to remove.

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

        True that about Greenwood

    Let us know your questions here. #fpl #GW6

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

      How much longer do we give Greenwood? With everybody focusing on bringing in Chelsea it's likely that Greenwood would be out on a hit, as non of the Chelsea midfield really appeal.

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

      Nailed chelsea defenders we can rely on?

    3. FPL Hitman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Seeing how the Wingbacks are performing exceptionally well this season - Alonso, Cancelo, TAA, etc. as well as potential ones the likes of Tierney, Semedo, etc., is it time to shift funds to defense and go for a strong 4-man defense with Duffy/Livra as an able 5th defender?

      1. space mercenary
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yes, same question here. Those 5 players are my exact defence as of last night incidentally.

    4. FPL_Crisis
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Did we just get our pants pulled down by bringing in Wolves players?
      Some even doubled/tripled up on wc
      Az must have something to say about bringing back Semedo

      Is the lure of someone like Reece James just an illusion and Rudiger is the most nailed in Chelsea backline

      Should we now bring in Sarr (perhaps for Torres with 2 tough fixtures) or is it chasing last weeks points + Norwich effect.
      This bodes well for Everton this week assuming they can get some troops back

      On a personal level, I just wildcarded in gw5 and still ranked 1.9m (314 total points) what recommendations to those with a similar score / rank to make some headways in the coming 3-5 weeks

      1. FPL Hitman
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I brought in Sa & Semedo on my WC by seeing their impressive stats only. Brought in James also. Have Doucoure and going to bench him against Norwich if the Everton players do not return from injury

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

          Semedo and James here.
          I’ll give Wolves 2-3 games then probably move him on
          I also chose Gray over Gallagher cause in the short term he has Norwich

      2. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Honestly think Wolves can get relegated this season

        They're showing that worrying ability to lose games no matter what the circumstance

        Play brilliantly? Lose game
        Play reasonably? Lose game
        Play terribly? Lose game

        Usually a new manager bounce helps a team get points on the board, Lage's new manager bounce has consisted of 4 losses in 5 games... I know they have looked pretty good at times, but it's not enough when teams are able to turn them over so easily

        Big Sam (or Nuno back after Spurs sack him) in by Christmas might be their only hope of staying up

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

          I just went Semedo on wc, with the thinking if he flops by gw7/8 it’s an easier price to move on than 4.5
          Maybe we need to give Brentford more credit but either way that match was a crapshoot

    5. Dr. Rog

      Whats your favourite type of cooked egg?

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

      For how long are we going to ignore Alonso? He has started every game. Unlucky not to come out with a TAA vs Leceister like haul against Spurs (goal cleared off the line and another assist for Silva). And he plays for the best defense in Europe.

    7. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Is it time for Adama Traore?

      His stats are really good, he has a new role under Lage, and his fixtures are excellent…

      Wait…

      Sorry that was 2 weeks ago, as you were!

      Are people overthinking Alonso/Chilwell situation?

      I keep avoiding Alonso as folks tell me he'll get benched for Chillwell soon
      But he's started all PL games & CL match so I'm getting him in after mid-week Cup game.

      Have Duffy & livramento on my bench so happy for those two to come in if required like happened with TAA this weekend

      Is triple Chelsea defence an answer to the Ronaldo v Lukaku conundrum or just plain overkill? Have played around with it on gw7/8 wildcard and it opens up a lot of decent variations.

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

      Having saved an FT last week by benching Antonio, I was due to shift on Benrahma and Toney this week. Not sure about that move now. Any thoughts?

      How fixture-proof is CR7?
      For those of us who only have two high-priced premium attackers (the other being Mo Salah), should we keep him after GW6 despite United's run of tough fixtures from GW7 to GW13, or is Lukaku likely to outscore him during that period?

      Would owning all three (plus TAA of course) weaken the rest of the squad too much?

    12. Basil1977
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Are the mid priced midfielders from the so called big 4 worth it? (example Jota, Torres, Mount, Greenwood)
      Is it better to go cheaper? (example Sarr, Raphina, Benrahma, Grey)
      Then reinvest the money at the back, maybe playing a 4 or 5 man defence with Chelsea, Liverpool and city defenders? Just seems every week they are getting clean sheets and attacking returns.

  14. Miguel Sanchez

    Captain:

    A) Ronaldo (AVL)
    B) Salah (bre)

    1. Gunners in Haaland
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A

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

      Same dilemma. Going for the home fixture although Villa were awesome against Chelsea. They could perhaps even spring a surprise in this game.

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

      I'd lean B but not entirely sure myself yet.

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

      B
      If it's tight favor the mid?

    5. jackruet

      Has to be ronaldo

    6. KunDogan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      A

    7. Lemongrab

      2 years, 6 months ago

      Easy A

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

      Salah.

    9. Cok3y5murf
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      The fact that we are looking past Salah against a promoted side feels like overthinking to me. I myself have the armband on Antonio, but it may change

    10. Goonsquad245

  15. WVA

    Who would you bring in for Torres?

    A. Gallagher BHA LEI Ars NEW
    B. Doucoure NOW Mun WHU WAT

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

      A - Doucoure wasn’t as box to box as I hoped vs Villa

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

      I think this depends on when you are using wc
      next 2 fixtures could be tough but from gw8-10 its decent

      Gallagher probably more chance of GI

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

      A

    4. Dr. Rog
      • 14 Years

      Gallagher this isnt even a question imo

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

        Thank you all, I wasn't debating it until I looked at the fixtures. Gallagher it is.

        P.s Anyone that has Doucoure congratulations on your points over the next few weeks

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

      Doucoure will be a better option once Everton get an actual PL quality striker back in the side

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

        He's playing for Chelsea in the meantime 😉

        1. WVA
          • 7 Years

          I've got all the premiums and I'm doing horribly

    3. FPL Hitman
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

      3 4.0 defenders and 2 4.5 mids. Is it really worth it?

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

        They all start so yes, when I need them for a fill in they will play, I will always get 11 out with this lot

    4. GreennRed
      • 12 Years

      Ronaldo to fodder and get Son and De Bruyne?

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

        Ronaldo + Fodder vs Grealish + Bamford + bench is pretty much the equation here.

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

      Gallagher + Raph as the mids.

      It looks like a fine team on paper, but 1 surprise benching, 1 covid test, or any kind of injury/suspension and that bench is going to be playing more often than not. Duffy also could be on borrowed time.

    7. Zimo

      Benrahma to Gallagher and Williams to another Chelsea defender or Dias/Cancelo. Begovic over Foster and play him against Norwich.

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

    Have Ricardo Pereira, Maddison and Richarlison.

    Getting sick of their low returns. Stick or get rid? Right now I'm tempted to go -4 and get rid of Richarlison + Maddison > Bamford + Benrahma

    1. Christina.

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

    Looking at getting a Watford player (sarr, Dennis or king) although V Watford looked counter attacking whilst at home to Newcastle against 11 men may be different?

  21. Gudjohnsen
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Is Greenwood now done as an option?

    Would you now do Jota to Greenwood if you had no United attackers?

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

      Yeah - Greenwood just part of the Ronaldo support act now. Avoid

    2. waltzingmatildas
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I'd hold Jota

    3. @persecuted_by_mods
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yes nobody passes him and Ronaldo will never square a shooting chance for himself, the "assist" Vs Newcastle was pretty lucky and he gets subbed off early too

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

        I am keeping Jota & Greenwood for one more GW.

        1 FT.Which is better as a long term midifield replacement for Greenwood?

        a) Sarr
        b) Zaha
        c) Gallagher
        d) Stick

    4. Drexl Spivey
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      The more you look at Utd's next eight, the fixtures don't actually seem that bad.

      I'd fancy Ronaldo in any of those home games.

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Utd are set up to make him score, not even win, just make him score and hope that gets the win. He's an elite scorer with 9 outfield players like Bruno Pogba Shaw all trying to get him chances

          Sounds simple and I guess it is, he'll be scoring bucketloads

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

        Best 2 Chelsea players other than Lukaku?

        1. @persecuted_by_mods
            2 years, 6 months ago

            If you asked me a few weeks ago I would have said James and Mount

            Right now I'd say Rudiger and +1, probs Christensen as cheap enough to not care too much about rotation

          • GreennRed
            • 12 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Azpilicueta and Rudiger.

          • Casual Player
            • 3 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Alonso and Christensen, provided you have some cover.

          • ktk_interista
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 13 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            Rudiger (the nailed one) and Alonso (the flair pick). Have some decent.t cover in case Alonso gets the odd rest.

        2. Monty123
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member

          2 years, 6 months ago

          Morning all

          I was at the game yesterday (Spurs fan) and Thiago was immense, is he being overlooked as a Chelsea FPL asset?

          £5.4m, missed first two games and eased back into the first 11.

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

            Too much rotation with Christensen

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

            Only because he won't play every game.

        3. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          All this talk of sell Greenwood.

          33 points and his first blank in 5 games.

          Villa at home on Saturday afternoon... Worth another game at least.

          1. @persecuted_by_mods
              2 years, 6 months ago

              Starts won't be guaranteed going forward though, Sancho has been way worse but can only get better through gametime and Messi Lingard offers more workrate and creation through that workrate

            • NotsoSpursy
              • 7 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              Keeping for sure

            • GreennRed
              • 12 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              Keep him until his gametime slows down.

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

            Rudiger or Alonso ?

            1. Gunners in Haaland
              • 4 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              Rudiger

          3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
            • 14 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            What the actual fck is Ronaldo going to be like in that GW15 - GW27 fixture run?

            At the rate he is shooting he will probably have at least 10 league goals on the board by then

            He could score 15 goals in those 13 games easily, he could probably get 20+ if he lands on the right side with a few pot shots...

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

              Probably a good captaincy rotation with salah

              1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
                • 14 Years
                2 years, 6 months ago

                Salah's 16, 17, 19, 22, 26 look too juicy not to captain at first glance (AVL, NEW, LEE, BRE, NOR) - then you see Ronaldo's in the same weeks and its going to be tricky (nor, bre, new, avl, lee) - although 17, 22 & 26 look slam dunk Salah caps tbf

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

                  Agreed. Home fans back in makes captaincy a bit easier this season i’m finding

                  1. Cok3y5murf
                    • 7 Years
                    2 years, 6 months ago

                    That difference was mainly in the first two gameweeks. It's been more even since then.

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

                      I believe that home field advantage is a thing and that it is stronger when fans are in stadiums.

                      Therefore in my opinion, it makes captaincy a bit easier when you have two great options and only one of them is at home.

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

              Wanted to swap Ronaldo -> Lukaku before GW8 but I am having second thoughts.

              1. space mercenary
                • 4 Years
                2 years, 6 months ago

                This is exactly what I have been saying to everyone planning to swap Ron to Luk in GW7 on the notion that you cant have both. If Ron keeps banging them in will you still swap him out?

            3. Cok3y5murf
              • 7 Years
              2 years, 6 months ago

              He will be the most irrelevant asset in FPL as almost everyone will own him

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

              Maybe some defenders could slow him down or prevent the supply of ball to him. Seems fairly handy though.

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

              Extrapolating current rates he is on for a 361pt (scaled to 38 GW) season.
              Unsustainable.

              Well known flat track bully, hold for the fixture runs and captain.

              1. Zimo
                • 5 Years
                2 years, 6 months ago

                It is Ronaldo. Not unfeasible that he has a 300 point season

                1. Cok3y5murf
                  • 7 Years
                  2 years, 6 months ago

                  For the current Ronaldo, unfeasible. Lukaku got more attacking returns than him last season in Serie A and currently plays for a far more fixture-proof side. Lukaku also 300 points then?

                  1. Zimo
                    • 5 Years
                    2 years, 6 months ago

                    I'm sorry aren't Juventus 18th right now in Serie A with 4 goals scored and Inter 1st with 15 goals. Kinda tells u the quality of chances being given to each striker and Ronaldo still outscored him.

                    1. Cok3y5murf
                      • 7 Years
                      2 years, 6 months ago

                      You just proved my point then. Chelsea will give Lukaku better quality chances than United for Ronaldo.

                      And Ronaldo did not outscore him. He got more goals, but Lukaku got more goals + assists.

                      1. Zimo
                        • 5 Years
                        2 years, 6 months ago

                        I'm sorry what are u basing that on 😆 they have literally the same expected goals right now. And United have more goals. Same as last season.

                        1. Cok3y5murf
                          • 7 Years
                          2 years, 6 months ago

                          So you're basing it on same expected goals when one started top of the fixture ticker and the other bottom?

                          No need to keep apologizing. It's okay to be wrong 🙂

                            Haha the only difficult fixture in that fixture ticker was Liverpool and u know it 😆

                      Last season Ronaldo scored 5 more league goals than Lukaku, from 4 more xG

                    Current FFS projections have increased over the weekend don't have him getting to 200 points over the season. Are they wildly out?

                  Given Ronaldo has basically zero assist threat, how many goals do you think he’d have to score to get 300 points?

            Hi guys!
            Had a good year last year with top 2000, but struggeling a bit this year. Activated wildcard now....
            Wich player would you remove/insert?

            Ramsdale (sanchez)
            Trent - Rudiger - Reguillon (Liveramento - Wiliiams)
            Salah - Sarr - Benrahma - Raphina (Kovacic)
            Bamford - Ronaldo - Antonio

            Leeds, spurs and Chelsea have good fixtures.
            Lukaku, Benrahma/antonio (bad fixtures) and reguillon are my biggest concerns

              Good team.

              You've said West Ham have bad fixtures, so not 2 of them. Gallagher over Benrahma imo.
              Likewise Sp*rs. You've got Christ and Tierney around that price bracket, and James at just a smidge more.
              Kovacic is a waste of a perfectly good Chelski slot, also 2 keepers not massively keen on, unless there is a good rotation there.

            Alonso or Rudiger ?

            1. Dr. Rog

              Chilwell exists. Which makes both Alonso and Chilwell no goes until Tuchel says something firm or one of them is injured.

            I have Jota & Greenwood and I don’t have Sar & Benrahma. I think Jota should get another chance, he could easily scored last match. But Greenwood perhaps a rotation risk? should sell him for Sar/Benrahma?

              I have Benrhama but would sell for Sarr out of the two probably

              Although as a Jota and a Greenwood owner, I am keeping both for the moment

                you don’t think Lingard will take his place?
