FPL Kneejerk Gameweek 5 💪 100 points 🔥

I'd rather roll the transfer than sell Soboszlai for a short-term fix like Gibbs-White, especially with the international break coming.

Soboszlai's underlying numbers are okay and he takes penalties, so he's not a bad pick despite the frustration.

I would only sell Soboszlai if I could get Saka in one move or if he becomes a massive problem.

Using two transfers for Gibbs-White is wasteful if you don't plan to keep him long-term; I'd rather save transfers. Gibbs-White is a good pick for this week, but I'm not sure he's a must-have after the Coventry game.

Cherki is almost certainly starting next week because Foden is suspended, so I would hold him. Cherki's half-time sub was tactical due to being down to ten men, not a sign of poor form.

I'm leaning towards playing Sangari over De Kuyper because De Kuyper faces Arsenal away and is likely to concede. Backing against the Arsenal defence is probably stupid, but I think Sangari has a better chance of returns.

I need to see what happens in the midweek Carabao Cup to know if Vardy is truly nailed at left-back. Nico O'Reilly is probably a sell because he's being used in midfield and Vardy stayed at left-back. If Vardy is nailed at left back, he's an excellent pick, but I'm never comfortable saying that with Man City.

I have no intention to sell the Chelsea triple attack soon because their fixtures are good and they don't play in Europe.

Palmer is still a good pick with four returns in four weeks, and I don't see a reason to sell him for Pedro.

I don't like Free Hit in Gameweek 5 because the teams you'd bench don't have bad enough fixtures to justify it. There are good players to target like Gibbs-White and JWP, but it doesn't stand out as an amazing week for the chip.

JWP and Garner are the best Everton options due to minutes and potential penalty involvement. I'd avoid Botman because he's struggled with fitness, and I'd prefer Tarkowski or a cheaper option.

I wish Everton had gotten a penalty so we'd know who takes them, but we just don't know yet.

Wildcard timing depends on your team, but I'm leaning towards waiting and building transfers rather than rushing. I like building up transfers and waiting to be forced into a move, rather than using chips reactively.

Free Hit might be better around Gameweek 12 when Arsenal play City, but I'm happy to wait.
