<h2><strong>Telegraph Fantasy Football Gameweek 5</strong></h2>
<p>Firstly, apologies for the lack of articles last week. I tweeted my team and transfer plans prior to making my moves in order to keep full transparency.</p>
<p>I’ve seen slow and steady progress each week thus far, moving up to 1,273<sup>rd</sup> with a score of 66 last week.</p>
<p>Originally, I had planned to move onto <strong>Lukaku</strong> from <strong>Son</strong>, but <strong>Ronaldo’s</strong> short-term fixtures looked too good to pass up on. As a result, I brought in the Portuguese superstar along with bringing back Salah, reaping immediate rewards through both moves.</p>
<p>I usually use early transfers, trying to find the best long-term budget enablers. Therefore, it is not unusual for me to have used a few transfers at this point in the season.</p>
<h2></h2>
<h2><strong>The Points</strong></h2>
<h4><strong>GK – Sanchez (£2.9m) 7pts</strong></h4>
<p>I’m extremely happy with 19pts from four games for my budget keeper. The Seagulls’ fixtures do stiffen in October. Yet with the bonus points for saves rule, I’m not sure if that warrants a move yet. <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Hold</span></strong></p>
<h4><strong>DEF – Webster (£2.9m) 4pts</strong></h4>
<p>An unfortunate injury for the Brighton defender. I’ll be keeping a keen eye on Graham Potter’s press conference on Friday.</p>
<p>If he's ruled out for longer than a couple of weeks, I’ll be looking to move him onto the impressive Conor Gallagher. <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Out</span> </strong>(if declared injured for a sustained period of time).</p>
<h4><strong>DEF – Alexander-Arnold (£5.4m) 10pts</strong></h4>
<p>A much better start to the season this time out for the full-back, combining attacking output with defensive returns. <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Hold</span></strong></p>
<h4><strong>DEF – Shaw (£4.2m) 5pts</strong></h4>
<p>I’ve formulated my plan to get to <strong>Rudiger</strong> by selling <strong>Shaw</strong>. <strong>Chelsea</strong> play after <strong>Manchester</strong> <strong>United</strong> in <strong>Gameweek 7</strong>. I can benefit from the extra game just in time for Chelsea’s fantastic fixture run. <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Hold, for now</span></strong></p>
<h4><strong>DEF – Coufal (£3.2m) 5pts</strong></h4>
<p><strong>West</strong> <strong>Ham’s</strong> first clean sheet of the season was welcome, with several decent fixtures post Gameweek 5. <strong>Hold</strong></p>
<h4><strong>MID – Son (£6.6m) 0pts (OUT)</strong></h4>
<p>I tried to be too clever with a couple of "fixture gain" moves, including bringing in the South Korean. A blank from the only game he played in followed by an injury for the second wasn’t my finest hour. <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Out</span></strong></p>
<h4><strong>MID – Salah (£7.0m) 7pts = NEW</strong></h4>
<p>I always intended to bring the Egyptian back in quickly. <strong>Salah</strong> showed me why he should remain in my team for the long-term. <strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Hold</span></strong></p>
