Fantasy Premier League tips: In-form FPL players you need for GW5 – Hazard, Lukaku, Mane
FANTASY PREMIER LEAGUE is back this weekend, so which in-form players should you be signing ahead of GW5?
Fantasy Premier League took a back seat last week due to the international break, but managers are now reassessing their squads ahead of GW5.
Friendlies and the inaugural UEFA Nations League have thrown up some problematic injuries for FPL bosses to consider, while some players are still struggling to find their feet this season.
However, a number of big guns have turned up in recent matches with the likes of Eden Hazard and Romelu Lukaku getting on the scoresheet for Chelsea and Manchester United respectively.
The duo, who both scored for Belgium in the 4-0 win over Scotland, are in fine form ahead of the Premier League’s return and seem worthy of investment.
Meanwhile, Sadio Mane is averaging a goal every game and 9.8 FPL points for Liverpool so far this season, putting him among the hottest Premier League properties right now.
The Senegalese ace is currently outscoring team-mate Mohamed Salah, with the Egyptian only managing two goals and two assists as yet.
Elsewhere, marauding full-backs Andrew Robertson and Benjamin Mendy are worth considering, while Watford defender Jose Holebas has been a surprise performer this campaign.
Cardiff stopper Neil Etheridge is still considered an in-form player after consecutive penalty saves in the opening two matches of the season, while Aleksandar Mitrovic is also catching the eye.
