You can enter a squad up until 16:30 BST on Sunday, when Man City host Arsenal in the final fixture of Gameweek 5.

In this article, Neale Rigg identifies the best picks in the remaining fixtures.

Brighton v Nottm Forest

All eyes will be on the hosts’ teamsheet to see if Joao Pedro (£5.7m) recovers from injury to feature.

The Brazilian striker has started the season in fine style, with two goals from three starts. He should also be on penalties, having converted four of them last season.

Two of the best defences of the campaign so far meet at Amex Stadium. Neither side has conceded more than one goal in any of their matches, with both clubs collecting two clean sheets.

Murillo (£4.5m) will be hoping to follow up a hard-earned shutout at Anfield with a third successive away clean sheet.

Man City v Arsenal

The final match of the weekend sees the two title rivals square off.

The two fixtures between these two sides last season produced only one goal, so Ederson (£5.5m) and Gabriel Magalhaes (£6.0m) might be savvy buys for Fantasy Challenge managers.

Gabriel is very capable of chipping in with a goal, too, having opened his account for 2024/25 in the north London derby last weekend. He netted on three occasions in 2023/24.

If you fancy goals, Savio (£6.5m) and Gabriel Martinelli (£6.9m) could earn starts for their respective sides.

Manchester City’s Brazilian winger has started his debut season well, collecting two assists across his first three appearances.
