Arsenalโ€™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 weekendโ€™s matches, or just read on for the numbers that piqued our interestโ€ฆ

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

    Michu was a bandwagon, but a good attacking midfielder. Fellani and Ramirez are playing as strikers, but
    have been incorrectely designated as midfielders.

        I keeping Michu. But will wager an internet million that Ramirez will out-score him over course of season.

        (I once got awarded £365,000 internet poker money by mistake, which was odd as people I were playing against paid for thier money themselves).

After 3 matches I'll sell Michu but for now I have to free some cash for Petric's replacement? Any idea of a cheap forward (below 7.0)?

          nah, he is normally box to box...the problem today was Ramsey; I could have sworn Wenger had Ramsey in a winger role but the kid has no position discipline. I believe he ran into at least two teammates today...in the way.

          I know. He's a playmaker like Modric but a much better finisher and Modric never had set pieces. I'm happy to keep him for now. And Arsenal have looked great so far, so imo he's their best cover.

    On a WC, Can't decide between Fellaini and Pienaar. I had Pienaar already and I think he's a bargain. I don't know if Fellaini will keep up this attacking form when Jelavic gets back. Pienaar is such a threat for assists, but then I will have Baines.

    There's a few tricky ones

    Hazard or Cazorla?
    Tevez or Aguero?

      Keep Graham, sell Zabaleta and Ireland if you want! Think about buying Sterling and Fellaini/Pienaar! Clark is good in aerial abilities and is a threat from corners and free kicks! Vorm brings points from saves, keep him! ๐Ÿ™‚

      Pienaar, but it is honestly 50/50 for opinions on this it seems... so you have to go with the style you like more ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Is this a good wild card, the team is bothering me a bit so I would like to tidy it up.

    Foster/Fed
    Baines/Santon/Haig/Cuel/Clyne
    Hazard/Cazorla/Kagawa/Pienaar/Guthrie
    Torres/Graham/Tevez

    The new team would be something like this...

    Foster/Bego
    Baines/Raf/Gibbs/Hughes/Demel
    Hazard(or maybe Oscar)/Cazorla/HBA/Pienaar/Puncheon(or sterling)
    Berb/Suarez/Tevez

    Will I regret a rebuild like this?

    What are people's thoughts on Tevez now that Aguero is back and healthy??

    Ditching or keeping?

      Had him from the start even when Aguero was fit. Nothing has happened to change my mind

        Methinks Mancini dropping Tevez the second Aguero is fit isn't the most comforting..

        Will have to have a think, many mid-priced options have come apparent.

          Nah I think his choice and most dangerous pairing are the two Argentine's together. Balo and Dzeko are off the pace. I think one of the two Argentines will always be in.
          Unless they're in junk time of an easy win.

      I'd consider getting rid of him if I was on my WC.
