FPL 2025 Scout: Best team for Fantasy Premier League for Gameweek 5


The Deadline for Fantasy Premier League for the coming Game Week 5 is IST on September 20 at 3.30 pm (11:00 am BST).

Arsenal records Manchester City on Sunday, in what the headline match of the week will be.

While City Forward Erling Haaland has been in exciting form, the prospect of compacting against a compact arsenal defense would be canceled out his FPL occupation.

In the meantime, competition leader Liverpool will compete against Everton in the Merseyside Derby. FPL Big-Hitter Mohamed Salah will compete against an Evertonian defense that has only admitted three goals this season.

But Salah has a solid record against Everton, after he has scored eight goals and helped two in 13 games against the side, making it an obvious choice of captain for GW5.

The newly signed striker of Liverpool Alexander Isak made an impressive debut halfway through the week in the Champions League and can be considered a differential option that continues.

Chelsea -midfielder Cole Palmer could also have a field day against a wrestling Manchester United, who gave three against City last week. Palmer, who returned from an injury last weekend, scored twice – a goal each against Brentford in the competition and Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

An important competition for targeting would be between Crystal Palace and West Ham United. The latter has leaked League-High 11 goals so far, so that palace activa such as striker Jean-Philippe Mateta and defender Daniel Munoz are attractive goals.

Aston Villa may be released from a terrible start, because it gets newly promoted Sunderland, giving the chance to popular FPL assets such as Ollie Watkins, Morgan Rogers and Ezri Konsa the chance to finally get started.
