Gameweek 5 is the first midweek round of the 2022/23 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) season and arrives only a few days after the weekend outings.

Crystal Palace v Brentford and Fulham v Brighton and Hove Albion get us underway at 19:30 BST, with Southampton v Chelsea kicking off quarter of an hour later. Finally, Leeds United v Everton starts at 20:00 BST.

As for the team news, Patrick Vieira makes three changes from Saturday’s 4-2 defeat at Manchester City, as Wilfried Zaha returns along with Michael Olise and Jean-Philippe Mateta. Tyrick Mitchell, Jordan Ayew and Odsonne Edouard drop to the bench.

Brentford also make three changes from Gameweek 4, as Shandon Baptiste, Vitaly Janelt and Keane Lewis-Potter come in for Christian Norgaard, Josh Dasilva and Yoane Wissa. However, the game comes too soon for Pontus Jansson.

At Craven Cottage, Fulham are unchanged, while Graham Potter hands Enock Mwepu his first start of the season. That means Danny Welbeck drops out, with Leandro Trossard presumably playing as a false nine.

There are two changes for Southampton as Romain Perraud and Ibrahima Diallo replace Moussa Djenepo and Joe Aribo.

Chelsea, meanwhile, are without Reece James through illness, with Cesar Azpilicueta, Thiago Silva, the returning Kalidou Koulibaly and Marc Cucurella possibly lining up in a back four formation.

Further forward, Mason Mount, Kai Havertz and Raheem Sterling all start, while Hakim Ziyech is selected over Christian Pulisic. Conor Gallagher is suspended following his sending-off against Leicester City.

There is one change for Leeds United at Elland Road, as Luis Sinisterra replaces Dan James. Patrick Bamford only makes the bench after missing the last two games with a groin injury, which means Rodrigo continues up front.

For the visitors, Frank Lampard reverts to a back-four system, with Anthony Gordon, Demarai Gray and Dwight McNeil in attack. However, Mason Holgate injured his knee on Saturday and misses out.

      Ignore my last reply then!

    2. Philosopher's Stones
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      It's pretty common knowledge the entire squad is made aware of the starting XI only a few hours before KO on match day. Not sure why people seriously follow which player is capping whom.

  2. I Member

    3 years, 3 months ago

    Why haven't they given Sanchez that save? Thought the foul came after.

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Missed that but if a free taken, everything that happened after is irrelevant.

      Like going back for an offside.

      1. I Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah of course. I'm saying I thought the foul happened after the save.

      2. Paqueta Rice
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Corner was headed on and saved by Sanchez then the defender was fouled. They must have considered the header a flick on / cross and not a shot.

    2. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah the foul was after the save?

    3. I Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      It's been added now 🙂

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Great. It’s my first week owning Sanchez!

  3. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Estupinan very advanced.

  4. Feloh
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Does Estupinan mean stupid? Spanish speakers in the house.

    1. Boomerang V
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Estúpido, estúpido.

    2. Wild Card this!

    Chelsea playing 4-3-3

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      yep

  6. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Got Andreas Pereira and Groß in this one, so guaranteed 0-0

    1. Feloh
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Haha that's how the story goes.

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Uncanny how many times it happens…

  7. Eleven Hag
    • 8 Years

    Sterling hatrick and Rodrigo, Groz blank would be lovely from todays games

      Would love that, and NEED that

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years

      Who got the assist?

      1. SpaceCoyote97
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Nobody because Toney didn't score...at least not yet.

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          I know 🙂

    3. The Bandit

      Idiot

      1. Dat Guy Welbz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        +1 as a non-Toney owner

    4. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      yes it would

    5. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Toney scored?

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        No, he wanted you think he had. Sad

  9. Nate(U)dog(ie)
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    I'm just waiting for someone to post "Raya cs busted" since it's happened so early in the last two games

    1. Feloh
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Please no.

    2. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I have to say he’s doing well considering. I’m happy with him as my keeper. 6 points last gameweek with a goal against and 3 week before. He’s picking up bonuses and save points. If he keeps a cleanie he’s definitely in the reckoning for bps

      1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        He's definitely doing great, just not ideal looking at him conceding 6-7 shots on target every game!

  10. Zenith UK
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Mitrovic has to pass there. Awful vision.

  11. lordkippe
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Sanchez, Andreas and Patterson tonight. Would be really happy with 1 return

  12. Dat Guy Welbz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Welbeck!

    10 goals would be great

  13. My heart goes Salalalalah
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Sanchez 1st save

    1. Vlad Tepes
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      2nd

      1. Feloh
        • 8 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Lol and I have Dunk.

  14. Zenith UK
    • 9 Years

    Anyone else want "Ultimate FPL" back? I miss it so much.

    1. Dat Guy Welbz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      No

    2. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Whats that?

      1. keefy59
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        If I remember correctly 25 man squad
        At least 7 home grown or under 21 players
        Ability to change captains & subs during gamweek before 1st kick off each day
        Very hands on
        I actually enjoyed it

    3. Hamstergod
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      That would be great , I enjoyed it quite a lot at the time

  15. Bubz
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    I need to get Sanchez in. Can’t believe I changed him to Ward/Iverson

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      ... at what point?

      1. Bubz
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Just before pre season deadline

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Oh fair enough 😆 Thought you meant after GW1!

        2. keefy59
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Biggest trap of the season
          Especially if you had used up all your budget

    2. TomSaints
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Yep that decision has not gone well for us haha

    3. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Mr 2 pointer is so boring though

  16. Silecro
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Playing field at St Marys is really sunday-league like

    1. TomSaints
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Tactical

  17. Gudjohnsen
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    I thought Raya had one save?

  18. meenabakery
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    My late uncle would have described Mitrovic as a "big useless cart horse." Goals notwithstanding.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      old fashioned no. 9

  19. banskt
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Fulham looks dangerous. No cleansheet for Sanchez tonight, it seems.

  20. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    JWP shooting from corners.

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      He can shoot from anywhere

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      did Martenelli hit the top of the bar with one this weekend?

  21. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Bloody hate it when Sky Sports Score Centre stops working

    1. jammie26
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Never used it any good?

      1. Dat Guy Welbz
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        I’ve heard it stops working a lot

      2. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Never works half the time I use it, like right now it just says 0-0 across all the games

  22. Boomerang V
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    What are the odds of James playing the next game?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      50/50.

    2. RICICLE
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I’d say strong

    3. THFC4LIFE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Wait for the presser mate

    4. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Probably decent, anyone's guess though. Luckily Neco (BOU) can be your backup?

    5. Twisted Saltergater
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Don’t think you’ll find his GP on here, mate.

      1. The Bandit
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Not that he would disclose anything.

        1. Twisted Saltergater
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          haha true

    6. Philosopher's Stones
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Can't say anything until we know what kind of 'illness' he has

    7. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Depends what the unless is. If it’s Covid, unlikely, if it’s upset stomach, likely.

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 3 months ago

          Good to know.

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Lot of norovirus about at the moment.

    8. Paqueta Rice
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Do you want my gut feeling or his?

  23. Botman and Robben
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    James unloading ongoing...18,739 and counting...

    1. banskt
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      I had to unload to field 3 defenders. Price to come down to 6.0 again? I need gim back asap.

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Good

  24. Old Bull
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Fofana still showing as a Leicester player. What will happen to anyone who fields him?

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Criminal charges.

      1. Haalander
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Lol

    2. SpaceCoyote97
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      He'll just switch to Chelsea eventually. Same thing happened to Cucarella.

    3. I Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      They will get 0 points because he's not playing.

      1. Old Bull
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        That’s what I suspected. There can’t be many playing a Leicester defender anyway.

    4. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Nothing. He will only change to a Chelsea player when it is OFFICIALLY announced.

      If you have him, he becomes a Chelsea player. If you already have three Chelsea players nothing happens, it's still valid - but your next transfer used has to be to remove 1 Chelsea player.

      1. Old Bull
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah sorry I knew that, I just wasn’t sure what would happen if someone played him today before it’s had time to change

      2. Old Bull
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Also I mistakenly thought it had been officially announced.

    5. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      He will swap to Chelsea. If you already have 3 chelsea it will still be valid until you try to make a transfer - and you'd have to take one CHE out. Same as when you choose too many from one club in the transfer screen.

  25. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐

    Brighton look lost without Welbeck. Very poor going forwards

    1. Dat Guy Welbz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      Don’t worry I’m coming on at half-time

  26. DRIZ ✅
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Should have scored there Sterling

  27. Rainer
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Gross effort saved.

  28. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 3 months ago

    Groß SoT

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 3 months ago

      +1 for effort on eszett

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 3 months ago

        Thank you, I just hold the S key 🙂

  29. Sim Simma

    That Fulham pitch is wet. Expecting a Gerrard-like slip
