Welcome back to the FPL Lounge for our GW5 Preview of the 24/25 season! A shortened pod this week because of a holiday in the Lounge, the lads start by discussing the minutes - and injuries - from a midweek round of EFL cup and Champions League matches. A full radar sees a stalwart FPL asset remain on the centre, multiple assets on the mid-range including some budget defenders to pad out your backline, and an intriguing OOP midfielder whose fixtures have just turned. The lads finish this week with captaincy, assessing Erling Haaland's stats vs Arsenal, and looking at two other options with appealing home fixtures. If you like what you hear, do let the guys know on X (fka Twitter), Insta, Threads or TikTok, @FPL_Lounge, and be sure to subscribe wherever you get your pods, so you always get new episodes in advance of the Gameweek deadline!
