Top Fantasy Premier League 2024/25 Picks – Gameweek 5

Fantasy Premier League (FPL) is an online game where players from around the world build a team consisting of 15 players. You get to field a team of 11 players each week and choose a captain. You can make transfers every week to bring in new players who seem to be in form. Your players give you points depending on their performance in the game and how crucial they were in helping their team get the result. This article talks about the captaincy picks and the best differential transfers you can do this week to finish at the top.

Top Captain Picks For Fantasy Premier League Gameweek 5:

Mohamed Salah

Mohamed Salah is the favourite to get the captaincy band for Gameweek 5 of the Fantasy Premier League. Salah already has six goal involvements in the first four games of the season. While Erling Haaland is arguably in better form than Salah, he faces Arsenal this week and will surely find it tough to score. Salah, on the other hand, faces Bournemouth, a much easier team, which is why he is the first-choice captain this week.

Ollie Watkins

Ollie Watkins is one of the best captaincy picks this week. He put two goals past Everton last week and seems to have found the form he was in last season. He plays against the Wolverhampton Wanderers in Gameweek 5 of the Fantasy Premier League. Wolves have conceded the second-highest number of goals this season and sit in the relegation zone. It is very likely that Watkins will end up hauling against them.

Erling Haaland

Erling Haaland is playing Arsenal this week, one of their toughest opponents in the Premier League. However, given the form he has been in, he still is one of the top candidates to be captain this week. The striker has scored a whopping nine goals in the Premier League in his first four games of the season. This is the best start any striker has had in the history of the league, and if he continues scoring at this rate, Arsenal will be in trouble.

Cole Palmer

Cole Palmer has started the new Premier League season right where he left off. The midfielder has one goal and four assists in the league already and will hope to continue this form when Chelsea faces West Ham next week. West Ham have not started too well this season and have won just one of their first four games. It will not be too surprising if Cole Palmer ends up scoring and assisting against West Ham this week.

Son Heung-min

Son Heung-min is a good differential captain week for Gameweek 5 of the Fantasy Premier League. The South Korean forward faces Brentford at home next week, which will be a fantastic time for him to return to form. While he is not in the best of forms this season, Tottenham have been attacking very well and sooner or later, it will pay off, and it is quite likely that Son is the player who will reap the rewards.

— Premier League (@premierleague) September 17, 2024

Jhon Duran is owned by just 3.1% of Fantasy Premier League owners. The forward has scored in three out of the four Premier League games played till now. Duran scored three goals despite having played just 103 minutes in the Premier League this season. While he has not been starting for Aston Villa, he has surely done enough to earn himself a place in the starting XI against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin (3.2% Ownership)

WOW! Everton double their lead 🤝

Dominic Calvert-Lewin has two goals and one assist in his last two Premier League games. He is owned by just 3.2% of Fantasy Premier League owners. The Everton striker places Leicester City in the Premier League next week and has a good chance of hauling against them. If he does end up returning, he will turn out to be an incredible differential.

Christopher Nkunku (4.8% Ownership)

Christopher Nkunku was a common name in Fantasy Premier League teams at the start of the season. However, after a series of bad games, he stopped making the starting lineup, which is why he was sold by many. However, his goal last week against Bournemouth may mark his resurgence. This is why many FPL players are considering getting Nkunku back on their team.

Amad Diallo (4.8% Ownership)

Amad Diallo has been starting games for Manchester United regularly, and it seems that he is going to have a breakout season this year. The winger costs just £5 Million and is listed as a midfielder. He is yet only owned by 4.8% of Fantasy Premier League owners. It will be very interesting to see just how well he will play this season, and he can be a fantastic pick for Fantasy Premier League players to take a punt on.

Lefi Davis is an Ipswich Town player who is listed as a defender despite his attacking involvement in the team’s playstyle. Davis costs just £4.5 Million and is owned by just 1.9% of Fantasy Premier League players. He plays Southampton next week, and it will not be surprising if he can keep a clean sheet while also providing attacking returns to his owners.
