Gameweek Preview - GW 5

Let's discuss the upcoming GW 4 with a glance at the EPL teams that played in the UEFA Champions League.


Arsenal thrashed 'want-to-make-history' Braga 6-0 at home. Fantasy hot picks Fabregas, Arshavin and Chamakh all grab points. Fabregas scored 2 and assisted 2 in this game. Well, he is a great buy since he is the regular starter again and could be a good replacement for those who has extra money to spend after selling Lampard or plan to sell Gerrard who whose performance is not on par with his value. For those who cant afford Fabregas ($11.9), Arshavin ($9.6) is good enough.


Manchester United has made 10 changes to the team that drew 0-0 at home to Rangers. Valencia who is out injured has alarmed managers that Nani ($8.1) will be the automatic starter and a good long term fantasy prospect.


Chelsea won away from home thrashing Zilina 4-1. Playing without the likes of Didier Drogba (suspension) and Frank Lampard (injury), they still managed to win comfortably away at home. Essien showed great form again, will his form continues and scores points regularly with the absense of Lampard? He is worth the bet, only $6.9, that makes him one of the most affordable Chelsea midfielder who play box-to-box with alot of potential to score and assist. Anelka did shine in this game, because Drogba wasn't there.


Tottenham drew 2-2 away from home to Werder Bremen. Tottenham's recent run in the EPL dissapoints me as I invested heavily in their squad thinking that they are able to handle both competitions well even with that depth of squad, but I am wrong. They are human afterall and they can get tired after midweek games. Nevertheless, Bale ($7.0) and Lennon ($8) are still in my squad as I really love to see when Tottenham attacks from flanks and these 2 guys possessed the abilities to make the biggest threat.
