BUY GIBBS-WHITE? 🚀 | MY FPL GW5 EARLY THOUGHTS 💭 | Fantasy Premier League Tips 2026/27

[gentle music] So guys, I'm recording this directly after the Leeds versus Newcastle game, and of course, that does conclude Gameweek 4, so it felt like a pretty good place to start in terms of looking forward to Gameweek 5 because firstly, an absolutely dominant display from Leeds, and at Elland Road they really are quite sensational.

But understandably so, a lot of people are already invested in Newcastle or were potentially looking at the likes of Wissa, Hall, Chao, Elanga, Barnes to buy for FPL Gameweek 5.

So let's go through that game, what we saw and the implications on FPL.

Maybe a good place to start is actually Antony Elanga.

Again, I'm recording this late on Monday.耶슬 said that it doesn't look good at all, and I'm just reading on social media now, and it's just speculation, so I've, I've nothing confirmed, but apparently there are rumors it could be an ACL injury for Elanga.

Even if it's not, early suggestions are that it's gonna be a pretty long-term injury, which is of course a massive blow for Newcastle and also those that have already bought Elanga or were looking to pick him up.

But let's discuss the game.

I will just say again, Leeds are fantastic at home.

I tried every [laughs] single gameweek last year saying, "Please remember how good Leeds are at Elland Road." I try and remind myself of that as well, and in Gameweek 5 they play a Crystal Palace team that largely I think have been struggling, especially defensively this season, at home at Elland Road.

So it feels like a very good game once again for them, and I will keep trying to remind myself of that as well.

That being said, I do think that 4-1 slightly flatters them in terms of the quality of chances they had.

They actually accumulated less than 2 XG, and Newcastle had basically one.

So based on XG, 2-1 would've been a fair result, but I think in terms of eye test and the general way that the game went, up until about the 60th minute or so, Leeds were completely in control of that game, and it wasn't until the final 30 minutes that Newcastle made a bit of a push.

Unfortunately, if you were a Muharemovic owner, he was on 14 points, maximum bonus, an assist, clean sheet, and Defcon in the 90th minute, so it was a seven-point clean sheet wipeout 'cause he lost his three bonus points and he lost his clean sheet as well.

So I am a Muharemovic owner, that's why I know it.

So he literally had his score halved from 14 to seven right at the end.

But yeah, very, very dominant from Leeds, and I do think that all of Muharemovic, just in whilst he's available, almost got an assist but it was chalked off.

Trafford I think is great.

Anton Strak continues to impress.

Ampadu is just a Defcon monster and he got an assist in this game.

And Calvert-Lewin, he, he took the Wissa versus Barry discussion personally.

He was like, "Wissa versus Barry? What about me?" And he goes in and puts in a, a very decent performance, and it goes to show that, I mean, if you were patient, you probably had a decent week.

A lot of people might be sat there that haven't wildcarded yet with a pretty decent score this week.

So yeah, it's easy to say patience is rewarded.

Sometimes it's not, and some people wouldn't have done so well this week, but Calvert-Lewin outscoring Isak by eight odd points is, is pretty funny over, I think it was even more than that potentially in the end.
