FPL General’s Gameweek 5 team reveal + transfer plans

With the next Fantasy Premier League (FPL) deadline almost upon us, we’re getting articles and team reveals from our panel of Hall of Famers and guest writers. Here, three-time top 500 finisher FPL General talks through his Gameweek 5 plans – and the imminent Gameweek 6 Wildcard.

Gameweek 4 Review

Testing. One, two. Testing. One, two. My Gameweek 4 was like a microphone sound check! Captain Erling Haaland (£15.2m) was the only player to return more than two points. A total of 40 points resulted in a rank drop from 392k to 1.2m. Impressive.

The three free transfers couldn’t have gone any worse. Andrew Robertson (£6.0m), Mohamed Salah (£12.7m) and Yankuba Minteh (£5.5m) came in for a combined total of five points. The players sold were Gabriel Magalhaes (£6.0m), Bukayo Saka (£10.0m) and Bruno Fernandes (£8.4m) – all of whom delivered, of course. The Gabriel goal from the Saka corner was painful, and the television was lucky to survive. On paper, the transfers made a lot of sense but the FPL gods had other plans. We move on!

Gameweek 5 Team

Good luck this weekend everyone.
