Zophar's FPL Gameweek 5 team reveal

Gameweek 4 review

Points: 94 (Triple Captain)

Rank: 237k

Arrow: Green

Gameweek 4 went pretty well for me, with 94 points. I was in the top 100k on Saturday night but Pascal Gross’s mega haul and Leeds' thrashing of Newcastle brought that down to around 240k.

It's still a very good start to the season. I’ve had three gameweek ranks out of four in six digits and that’s very good. It does include three chips already used though - Bench Boost, Wildcard and Triple Captain.

David Raya’s penalty save was probably the biggest moment of the gameweek - that was a 20-point swing, as I would have likely ended up with just six points from the trio of Riccardo Calafiori (£5.8m), Ezri Konsa (£4.5m) and Raya. Instead, they netted me a massive 26 points.

Cole Palmer’s five-point return with the Triple Captain was a bit disappointing - that was a bit of a head over heart decision as a Chelsea fan and I think Palmer had to do a lot of work in midfield with Moises Caicedo (£5.3m) missing and didn’t have as many penalty box touches as I’d like.

The Morgan Gibbs-White (£8.0m) differential came through. I would have been very disappointed with seven chances created and zero returns.

He looks to be the player everyone is looking to buy now so I am potentially ahead of the curve on that one.
