Welcome to the FPL Gameweek 5 rankings, RotoBallers! Mohamed Salah (£12.7M) or Erling Haaland (£15.2M)? Cole Palmer (£10.6M) or Bukayo Saka (£10.0M)? These are some of the lineup conundrums our weekly FPL rankings can help you solve.
Four teams (Arsenal, Aston Villa, Liverpool, and Man City) played European football this weekend. Meanwhile, a lot of other teams played in Carabao Cup fixtures. Make sure to tune into all the Premier League managers' press conferences to confirm the health of your players.
The Gameweek 5 deadline of the 2024/25 Fantasy Premier League season is Saturday, September 21, at 6:00 a.m. EDT, when West Ham hosts Man United. Also, check out the rest of our excellent soccer coverage as the squad gets you all set for every English Premier League slate and UEFA Champions League game with our EPL DFS lineup picks and betting picks.
Fantasy Premier League - Gameweek 5 Rankings
Our weekly rankings highlight players who could be worth a punt in your Fantasy Premier League squad. While the rankings will be filled with familiar names, a low-owned player with an easy fixture will rise up the charts.
For each gameweek, we will provide our top 15 goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders, and forwards. These can also be applied as DFS rankings for your weekend contests. Don't miss our Friday updates to account for any injuries or team news breaking later in the week.
