<h2>Sky Gameweek 5 preview</h2>
<p class="p3"><span class="s2">After the busy schedule and five days of action of Gameweek 4, things are a lot simpler for Gameweek 5. </span></p>
<p class="p3"><span class="s2">There are just two days of action, with games on just Saturday and Sunday</span><span class="s2">.</span></p>
<p>Having said that, the European action kicks off after this weekend, so we now have the added complication of factoring in playing time for our premium assets.</p>
<p>Will <span class="s2"><strong>Erling Haaland (£11.5m)</strong> start against Aston Villa at 17:30 on Saturday with a trip to Seville on Tuesday? </span></p>
<p><span class="s2">The same can be asked of <strong>Joao Cancelo (£11.0m).</strong> It’s all got to be considered when picking captains and making transfers.</span></p>
<h4>Saturday games</h4>
<p class="p3"><span class="s2">There are eight games on Saturday. The action starts at 12:30 with Everton v Liverpool, so if you're going for<strong> Mohamed Salah (£11.7m)</strong> you can at least check that he’s starting. </span></p>
<p class="p3"><span class="s2">I’m still amazed that in last week's 9-0 over Bournemouth he only managed a two-point display, with just one shot on target. </span></p>
<p class="p3"><span class="s2">He did miss a tap-in but it’s beyond belief really. I captained him and I’m still in shock. </span></p>
<p class="p3"><span class="s2">Meanwhile, Haaland bagged a first hat-trick for Manchester City. </span></p>
<p class="p3"><span class="s2">Even if Haaland doesn't start, I still think  if he plays 30 minutes, he could easily grab a goal or two.</span></p>
<p class="p3"><span class="s2">Tottenham Hotspur also play Fulham, so if you're on <strong>Harry Kane (£11.6m)</strong> he’s an option. </span></p>
<p class="p3"><span class="s2">Owners will be pleased with his two goals against Nottingham Forest last weekend but the penalty miss was annoying. </span></p>
<p class="p3"><span class="s2">Fulham’s <strong>Aleksander Mitrovic (£7.7m)</strong> has been in great form. He's scored 40 points, with five goals in five starts, which puts him just nine points behind the much pricier Haaland.</span></p>
<p class="p3"><span class="s2">Forest host Bournemouth, so for those who still own <strong>Brennan Johnson (£7.2m)</strong> will be hoping he can grab a goal against a side who have already let in 16 goals in their first four matches. </span></p>
<p class="p3"><span class="s2">Chelsea face West Ham on Saturday but the Blues are a bit unpredictable at the moment. I brought in <strong>Kalidou Koulibaly (£9.3m)</strong> midweek, so I was disappointed to see him narrowly miss out on passing bonus and even more disappointed to see Chelsea concede twice to Southampton.</span></p>
<h4>Sunday games</h4>
<p class="p3"><span class="s2">Sunday has just two games - Brighton v Leicester and Manchester United v Arsenal. </span></p>
<p class="p3"><span class="s2"><strong>Gabriel Jesus (£9.5m)</strong> is the most-owned player. </span></p>
<p class="p3"><span class="s2">I think Sunday is a tricky day. I don’t think anyone is going to be landing a 20 pointer, so I’d just go with the asset you have. </span></p>
<p class="p3"><span class="s2">Jesus and <strong>William Saliba (£7.4m) </strong>are likely to be the most-popular options but I can see United putting in a performance. </span></p>
<h4 class="p3"><span class="s2">Player stats </span></h4>
<p class="p3"><span class="s2">Looking at the first five games of data, I think it’s safe to say that <strong>Joao Palhinha (£6.6m)</strong> of Fulham is the budget enabler of choice. </span></p>
<p class="p3"><span class="s2">He's picked up tackle bonus in four out of five games with a goal to boot - although he has received three yellow cards, which is a concern. </span></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p class="p3"><span class="s2">Haaland leads the way, with his two hat-tricks within a week. i</span></p>
<p class="p3"><span class="s2">It is interesting to see Mitrovic is second on the list. </span></p>
