Fantasy Premier League tips: Biggest transfer ins and outs ahead of FPL GW5
FANTASY PREMIER LEAGUE transfers are piling in after the international break ahead of Gameweek 5 – but who are the most popular stars and least popular flops?
Fantasy Premier League: Top three underrated midfielders
Fantasy Premier League Gameweek 5 is fast-approaching with the international break almost over and FPL bosses itching for points when the action returns.
Many managers will have been tempted to deploy their wildcards between the gap in fixtures, leading to huge numbers of transfer already.
Aleksandar Mitrovic is among the most transferred in players ahead of GW5, with Chelsea stars Marcos Alonso and Pedro also proving popular.
On the other side of the coin, Liverpool star Mohamed Salah is falling out of a huge amount of teams with almost 200,000 ditching the Egyptian hero this week.
Express Sport has rounded up the most transferred in and out players ahead of Gameweek 5:
OUT – 5. Richarlison (Everton): 127,022
The Toffees ace is about to serve the last game of his suspension but owners are still shipping him out.
OUT – 4. Henrikh Mkhitaryan (Arsenal): 135,584
A couple of brief flashes of top potential saw many FPL managers invest, but he's not producing the goods consistently.
OUT – 3. Mohamed Salah (Liverpool): 192,771
The Egyptian hero is producing decent levels of points, but it appears that many of his owners are feeling the effects of his weighty price tag.
OUT – 2. Theo Walcott (Everton): 205,977
Walcott has shown flashes of greatness, but injury could rule him out of GW5 and that has put many people off.
OUT – 1. Wilfried Zaha (Crystal Palace): 345,602
Scored two in three games, but injury has damaged his start to the 2018/19 season.
IN – 5. Marcos Alonso (Chelsea): 230,543
The top points scorer in FPL so far has got a decent run of fixtures ahead, with Cardiff up next.
IN – 4. Pedro (Chelsea): 245,266
The Spanish winger is thriving under Maurizio Sarri. If he can keep up his goalscoring form, he could be a bargain gem all season long.
IN – 3. Jose Holebas (Watford): 254,786
Watford have started the season in terrific form with Holebas providing four assists for his team so far.
IN – 2. Lucas Moura (Tottenham): 289,143
The Spurs star has finally hit top gear in north London and launched himself into the mind of every FPL fan with a brace against Manchester United.
IN – 1. Aleksandar Mitrovic (Fulham): 328,394
There are several strong value options going forward this season, but Mitrovic has looked the best so far. He faces a tricky clash with Manchester City next though.
