FPL GW5 Final Thoughts 🔥 João Pedro update 🚨 Benching Headaches 🤕

I think João Pedro is not playing Gameweek 5 and Alonso is just withholding information.

No one is ruled out and a final decision will be made after tomorrow's training session.

João Pedro is suffering from a knee edema and medical reports recommended three and a half weeks of recovery.

I think Cherky will start at number 10 and O'Reilly is a sell because he won't start at the weekend.

Collins and Van den Berg are out for Brentford, Dedic and others are out for Newcastle, and Mendy is out for Hull.

I am targeting Man City players heavily in Club Fantasy Football because they have a strong home fixture and good attacking returns.

I would play Szoboszlai, Odegaard, and Durán ahead of Calafiori and Mihaljević, and keep Konsa above Gross.

A Gameweek 5 free hit is viable but I prefer saving it for later gameweeks to target multiple good fixtures and avoid owning players from clashing teams.

I wouldn't use a transfer on Rashford for a one-week punt because there are better fixtures and he often gets subbed early.

I have very little interest in buying Welbeck as a João Pedro replacement because other forwards have better fixtures and penalty duties.

I prefer Jewsbury-Hall for short-term attacking returns and Garner for longer-term consistency, though penalty duties are unclear.

I prefer Munoz over Williams for his attacking threat, but Williams is a good budget alternative.

I am considering selling João Pedro and Sangaré for Barrie and Gibbs White, but I will probably roll my transfers due to the international break.
