Arsenal’s battling performance at the Etithad and a dramatic second-half turnaround at the Lane bring Gameweek 5 to a close. Our members can now let the dust settle on their Fantasy scores before gorging on all the stats from all the weekend’s matches, or just read on for the numbers that piqued our interest…
Has all the points now been completely added? I was expecting to drop out the top 10k, but if thats all the points then I'm rather lucky. Still, peeved I didn't play Rafael.

What would YOU do?
Mignolet;
Baines(vc), Rafael, Davies;
Hazard, Pienaar, Michu, Noble;
RVP(c), Tevez, Berbatov.
Subs: JussiJ; Maloney, Hughes, Clyne.
1FT; £3.5m in the bank.Open Controls
Going to keep an eye on Ramirez, decent Michu replacement from GW9 onwards.
Open Controls
meh, GW9 shmine
He's got me 5 points already.Open Controls
Zab > Baines + Hangeland > Demel. 4pt hit, worth it? Opinions?
Open Controls
Is bringing in Fellaini for Hazard madness when I already have Pienaar?
Open Controls
A little.
Open ControlsWould it make a difference if doing so allowed me to get Baines?
Open Controls
do you have toure? i'd rather get toure+baines than fellaini+baines, along with pienaar thats too much in one basket
Open Controls
My teams linked 2legit. Would you entertain the idea of Williams and Hazard out for Baines and HBA?
Open Controlspersonally not convinced about how many goals newcastle are capable of scoring atm and their fixtures don't look plentiful... that said HBA is absolutely flying so is likely to be involved whenever they do score. getting rid of hazard is a big shout, but i think it could be a risk worth taking when considering you are getting in two excellent fantasy prospects for the price of one
Open Controls
should i take a 4 point hit for.
tevez-->ba
morrison-->punchon
jenkingson-->bains?Open Controls
Here is my proposed w/c team, what do you think guys?
Ruddy (McCarthy)
Baines, Rangal, Demel (Clyne, Harte)
Bale, YaYa, Peanut, Santi (Michu)
RvP, Ba, Berbs
Any help welcomed...THANKS!Open Controls
anyone think on having a punt on Fletcher as captain next week
Open Controls
Might go with Baines.
Open Controlshe is my captain.
Open Controls
How the heck can a Scottish player be so prolific?!
Why is he not playiong for Scotland?Open Controls
Levein and his dislike each other. Stubborn gits
Open Controls
There was a couple of Baines captain bandwagons last year and they did not end pretty. Tempting fate captaining a defender and soton are no slouches going forward.
Open Controls
+1
Open Controls
Terry retires from England!!!!
Open Controls
Wow, 7 bonus points from Bale, Defoe and Barfa to bring my total to 88 points.
i love high scoring weeksOpen Controls
Fletcher or Fellaini for captain next week?
Open Controls
After a flying start and 3 average gameweeks i sit on 313 points. Decent but last 3 gameweeks have been far from good.
Wanting to do Tomkins -> Baines
Dyer -> Kackanicilic
Is this a good idea? OR should i get Phill Neville instead because i only have 4.7 for a midfielder after getting baines due to having RVP/Open Controls
On a scale of 1 - 10. How much do you care about overall rank?
Probably a 2 for me. I'm not really bothered. Although obviously being a higher rank will help me win my mini leagues, but you get what I'm saying.Open ControlsI am now. 😛
Open ControlsFor me it is 10.
Open Controls
I sort of tie the two together Epic. Without a good overall rank I won't get near some of my MLs.
Besides, I want to win it. 😉Open Controls
2
Open Controls
is rafaels injury serious???????????
Open Controlsshe just told me to ask SAF..............
Open Controls
so Michu. Season keeper or ship GW9?
His fixtures after that
mci, CHE, sot, new, LIV, WBA, ars, NOR, tot MNU, rdg, ful, AVL
That takes it through to Januray.
Thoughts?Open Controls
Looking to add to my Everton contingent with my FT. I have Baines already.
Fellaini, Pienaar or a punt on Anichebe?
Cheers folks.Open Controls
Pienaar
Open Controls
All I can say is that Sterling keeps playing great without getting much in the way of returns, and if you're likely to bench him anyway seems a waste of a transfer. On the other hand his price is sure to rise . . .
Open ControlsThis meant to be a reply to Wild Rover. What an odd fail . . .
Open Controls
Floodlight cables cut at the Real Madrid match - it's been called off. Buggers up my accumulator a bit.
Open ControlsNon runner Locarno I should think (Counts as)
Open Controls
Got two freebies... Already done Morrison to Pienaar
Would you keep two freebies for next week or get Sterling for Kaca? I bench Kaca most weeks and also have Berb.
Cheers 🙂Open ControlsI posted this above by accident:

JK, Parm, Shirokov?
Want to know your opinion. Got 2 FT and dunno what to do with Jenko and Cuellar. Would like to hear your thoughts.
Lateriser earlier suggested that I should ditch Cuellar + Jenko in favour of Gibbs + Clyne.
Team: http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/141/event-history/5/Open ControlsGreat team BTW.
I also like Lateriser's suggestion.Open ControlsCheers mate.
Open Controls
I agree with Lateriser
Open ControlsTa
Open Controls
Yup, would also be inclined to agree with Lateriser. Nice front 7.
Open ControlsThanks mate. Congrats on your rank. Gives me something to strive for 😉
Open Controls
Which 3 would you play in defence next week?
Gibbs, Ridgewell, Baines possibly?Open Controls
gunna use my wildcard, narrowed strikers down to 5... which 3?
Fletcher, Anichebe, Berb, Ba, Lambert?Open Controls
I think you mispelled Aguero as your 2nd listed striker. With Berb and Ba
Open Controls
Guys am I stupid to be considering a 4 point hit to do michu to fellaini? Problem is I can see fellaini getting more points than michu, Everton top form, Swansea, off form. Fellaini playing upfront, baines whipping them in.
Front 8 is
Hazard, carzola, michu, HBA, Peinaar,
Rvp, tevez, lambert
(Also have baines)Open ControlsDon't do it.
Open Controls
Tevez to Fletcher. I just can't pull the trigger. Possibly the toughest transfer I've ever done.
It's like I'm playing out a hostage seen from The Bill in my own front room.Open ControlsI was tempted. Wait on it mate. Keep Tevez for now.
Open Controls
Who do you think are the essential players for the next few gameweeks?
Mine:
Baines
Pienaar
Lambert
Ba
Fletcher
McAuleyOpen Controls
Does anyone know if Foster is supposed to be losing or gaining the saves under review?
Open ControlsLosing 1 save potentially
