Premier League Returns: Gameweek 5 Preview

The Premier League is set to resume after the international break, and Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers are already making their moves for Gameweek 5. Here's a rundown of some of the key players and picks for this upcoming round.

Cole Palmer, the £10.4m midfielder from Chelsea, is a popular choice following his goal-scoring performances at Brentford and Bayern Munich. His impressive form has caught the eye of many FPL managers, making him a strong contender for Gameweek 5.

In the goalkeeping department, Leeds United's Karl Darlow and Sunderland's Robin Roefs are options to consider. Meanwhile, Bournemouth's Djordje Petrovic could also be a viable choice, given his potential to rack up points this weekend. On the other hand, Spurs' Vicario is a top pick, having shown consistent performance so far.

Bournemouth's Antoine Semenyo is the most transferred-in midfielder ahead of Gameweek 5, reflecting his growing popularity among FPL managers. His teammate Marcos Sensei has also been a high-scoring defender for the Cherries this season.

From Tottenham Hotspur, Brennan Johnson and Mohammed Kudus are strong midfielder options. Micky van de Ven is the most transferred-in defender ahead of Gameweek 5 from the same team.

Crystal Palace's Jean-Philippe Mateta could score against West Ham United this weekend, making him an attractive forward pick. Manchester City's Erling Haaland remains the top points scorer in FPL so far, and Chelsea's Joao Pedro, with 33 points and attacking returns in the last three games, is the most popular player in the game.

Recommended defenders for Gameweek 5 include Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool), Kieran Trippier (Newcastle), and João Cancelo (Manchester City) due to their attacking potential and clean sheet possibilities.

The FPL deadline for Gameweek 5 closes 90 minutes before the Merseyside derby between Liverpool and Everton, which kicks off on Saturday, September 20. Marc Guehi is a popular defender pick at his price point.

As always, make sure to consider your team's strengths and weaknesses, as well as the upcoming fixtures, before making your final selections. Good luck, and may the best team win!
