🟠 Wolves - Played great again, a team to focus on with a great fixture run coming up.
⚫️ Newcastle - 4 goals conceded again, definitely a team to target.
🔴 Liverpool - Playing incredible at the moment. A triple up of Salah, Trent and Jota looks ideal.
GW 4 Notes - Players 📝
🔵 Lukaku - The striker that Chelsea needed. 2 great goals - more to come!
🔴 Ronaldo - Back with a bang! Took a lot of shots and will definitely be very involved in the United attack.
GW 5 Fixture to target
🔴 LIV vs CRY
Liverpool are unbeaten so far this season, with a goal difference of 9-1 in 4 games. They’re always strong at Anfield, so this game should result in an easy win for the Reds.
GW 5 Player recommendation:
Nelson Semedo missed 2 big chances in GW 4, and kept a clean sheet. His amazing attacking threat combined with the great CS potential and Wolves superb fixture run makes him a great pick.
GW 5 Player to avoid:
Demarai Gray might look like an incredible FPL asset. Cheap, 3 goals in 3 games and good fixtures. But be aware of the fact that Gray only has an xG of 0.91 this season, which indicates a significant overperformance. Don’t expect too much from him.
GW 5 Worth consideration:
Michail Antonio is suspended and will miss the game vs Man Utd in GW 5, but before you decide on whether to sell him or not, consider that he faces Leeds and Brentford in GW 6 and 7.
Two appealing fixtures against leaky defences, both are games where Antonio definitely can haul. So don’t automatically decide to sell him, you’re likely to regret it in the following GWs.
Mo Salah has averaged an xGI of 1.07 per game this season, and scored his 100th PL goal last week. Going up against Palace this GW, he is the clear standout captain.
2) Cristiano Ronaldo - 💰12.5
Fixture: WHU (A)
With 2 goals against Newcastle in GW 4, Ronaldo proved how good he’ll be as an FPL asset. West Ham (A), isn’t an unappealing fixture so Ronaldo is definitely a viable captaincy choice this GW.
3) Romelu Lukaku - 💰11.5
Fixture: TOT (A)
Lukaku scored twice in GW 4 and once in the UCL game mid-week. Going up against a Spurs side missing Tanganga and Dier, Lukaku is very much a captainable player.
GW 5 Captaincy - Differential
Sadio Mané - 💰11.9
Fixture: CRY (H)
Mané recorded 10 shots and an xG of 2.0 against Leeds in GW 4, and the always dangerous winger has a great GW 5 fixture, Palace (H). A great differential captain.

Liverpool go up against Norwich in GW 1, which is a very clear fixture to target. This should end with a big win for Liverpool which makes Salah, Mané, Trent and possibly even Tsimikas being great FPL picks.
GW 1 Player recommendation:
Riyad Mahrez is always a superb FPL option when he plays, the issue is of course Pep’s tendency to rotate the winger. However, with multiple injuries in the squad and players that haven’t got a full pre season, Mahrez could see a lot more...
The world number 1, Michael Coone, has had an amazing season and overtook the lead this week, but if we dig deeper into it, how has he played this season to get where he is?
Michael Coone started the season very well with a GW 1 rank of 43k, which is actually the lowest OR he has had this entire season. He kept up the green arrows and after an outstanding GW 6 he jumped from 18k to 2k and since then he hasn’t left top 3k once.
His next big jump came in GW 11 when he got from 2.3k to OR 618 which indicated in which direction his season was going. He then played his first WC in GW 15 setting him up for a 136 points Bench Boost in GW 19, taking him to OR 21st.
