            <p>In this relaunched series, Holly Shand looks at the best balance of form and fixtures using the Hub's fixture ticker and her top three transfers targets for Gameweek 5.</p>
<p>With four gameweeks of form information and a stacked onward fixture ticker, there's now an equal weighting between the two metrics.</p>
<p>The combined chart demonstrates the teams with the best balance of form and fixtures going forward. I’ve also included my top three transfer targets for Gameweek 5.</p>
<p>The FPL fixtures chart uses the <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fixture-ticker" aria-label="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fixture-ticker/">Hub’s fixture ticker</a>, focusing on attack for the next four gameweeks. The form charts also have attack in mind, studying the number of goals scored per game, while reflecting the format of the site's ticker.</p>
<p>We'll also be considering our AI-recommended player picks from those clubs flying high in the charts.</p>

<h2>Who has the best FPL form ahead of Gameweek 5?</h2>
<p>Goalscoring potential (GS) is my custom measure of a teams' attacking form from their previous games. It is impacted by goals scored, goals conceded and fixture outcome.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-57688" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Screenshot-2023-09-07-at-08.43.49.jpg" alt="" width="2122" height="1976" /></p>
<p>Brighton maintain top spot in the form charts, having scored 12 goals in four games. They also lead the way for shots on target (36) and expected goals (xG) in this period (10.65).</p>
<p>Manchester City are close behind in second, having chalked up 11 goals to date, as the only side to win all of their opening games.</p>
<p>Midfielder <strong>Phil Foden (£7.6m) </strong>sits seventh on predicted points among midfielders for the next four gameweeks, with 21.4 predicted points, and looks like a good pick alongside Erling Haaland for a double up on City's attack.</p>
<p>Foden has created 12 chances so far this season, notching three assists from one big chance created.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-57759" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Screenshot-2023-09-12-at-12.08.51.jpg" alt="" width="794" height="646" /></p>
<p>Spurs complete the top three, with the attacking style of Ange Postecoglu coming to the fore already, having scored 11 goals in their opening four games.</p>
<p>We have two Spurs attackers vying for a place in our sides right now: <strong>James Maddison (£7.8m) </strong>and <strong>Son Heung-Min (£9.1m). </strong></p>
<p>Maddison had much of the early transfer traffic, and he was second for shots on target with nine, as well as dominating set pieces with 17 corners and six free kicks taken.</p>
<p>Son's positioning as the central striker in Gameweek 4 yielded a hat-trick, and he's now the most bought player for Gameweek 5. Keep an eye on whether this continues now Richarlison is back fully fit.</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-57760" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Screenshot-2023-09-12-at-12.10.01.jpg" alt="" width="794" height="646" /></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h2>Who has the best attacking FPL Gameweek 5 fixtures?</h2>
<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-57707" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Screenshot-2023-09-08-at-11.32.53.jpg" alt="" width="2000" height="1674" /></p>
<p>Luton sit top of the ticker, but being rock bottom in the form chart means another tough buy this week. <strong>Ross Barkley (£5.0m) </strong>has the highest predicted points for the next four gameweeks on 15.2 - but he looks like an avoid.</p>
<p>Burnley are another side high in the fixture chart after their Double Gameweek 7 was announced this week.</p>
<p>Goalkeeper <strong>James Trafford (£4.5m) </strong>being the highest predicted points scorer over the next four gameweeks tells the story here!</p>
<p>Everton sit third terms of fixtures, with three home games in the next four. Sitting second to bottom in the form chart won't help their case though.</p>
<p>Midfielder <strong>Arnaut Danjuma (£5.5m) </strong>is predicted to score 17.9 points in this spell, having scored against Sheffield United in Gameweek 4. He's had 14 shots and four big chances to date.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Which team has the best balance of form and fixtures?</h2>
<p>With a full picture of form numbers and looking ahead to the next four gameweeks, there’s one team with a narrow advantage in a stacked top three.</p>
