The big talking point for FPL Gameweek 5 after the performances from Cristiano Ronaldo and Romelu Lukaku last weekend, is whether we should be fitting both of them in our squads. It’s the hot topic of the Who Got The Assist? podcast.

Wolves
Wolves are one of the most popular teams in the game right now with a great run of upcoming fixtures. With both attackers and defenders on the radar, FPL Swede provides his excellent analysis.
Wolves breakdown analysis (THREAD)
As a neutral fan of the Premier League, Wolves is the team that I have enjoyed watching the most so far. Lage has made a very significant impact in a very short amount of time which has led to plenty of FPL options in various positions ⤵️ pic.twitter.com/XfQ0yvavH9

Gallagher
Connor Gallagher has impressed so far and his underlying statistics suggest that his points returns are sustainable. He’s a great enabler and is seeing plenty of transfers in. FPL Strategy looks at the data.
Conor Gallagher (CRY) – worth consideration if u need a budget midfielder (5.5)
Points – xPts 23.3 (1st)
Assists – xA 1.3 (2nd)
Goals – xG 2.27 (1st)
Sitb – 7 (2nd)
Big Chances – 5 (1st)His expected returns are close to his actual returns so his points this season are no fluke pic.twitter.com/NdqWMBffpa

Stats
Next up, stats guru Bakar pulls together a convincing argument for sticking with Trent Alexander-Arnold when looking to jump on board premium forwards. He has the best assist threat of the entire league.
Chances created
(After 4 GWs)
Trent 20
Grealish 13
Salah/Jiménez 12
Traoré 11
Pogba 10
Shaw 9*Trent on another level
*Pogba has 7 assists despite creating just 2 big chances with an xA of 1.31, unsustainable
*Shaw's numbers on the up, he's 2nd for big chances created too— AbuBakar Siddiq (@BigManBakar) September 13, 2021
Defenders
If you’re shopping for a defender this week, considering this chart of attacking output from Ted Talk’s FPL is essential. Liverpool defenders dominate and already have three clean sheets this season too.
