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…

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    Transfers, and team done for Gw6.

    I'm away with work a bit this week, so won't be around these parts for a good few days.

    Best of luck all, it's been emotional.

              I think both of those keepers will concede. Ruddy may make more saves. One may save a pen, but no way of telling which one.

      It's a tough call. Pool are hardly prolific but it's Norwich. But WHU not as good away and QPR much better at home.

      If in doubt always play the guy at home IMO

      300k for now is fine, you'll be able to steadily climb (some weeks quite quickly if you have a good week, which is nice).

      Advice: too much tinkering and you'll have a stinker (or some slogany thing like that... it'll get posted now and then on here). Basically, players with sound underlying stats will tend to come good, even if they didn't produce for a week or two (e.g. Bale), so don't ditch them too quickly just to get in this week's hot item.

    That really is taking the p that Bale got 3 bonus points again.
    Cazorla got 2 so has outscored Bale by another one point.
    Bale out Cazorla in gw 4 is an early contender for the worst transfer I made this season. Plus it was for a 4 point penalty!
