One-stop Kop: Supercoach EPL, everything you need to know week five


<p>We are now four weeks into the EPL Supercoach season, and let&#8217;s just say it is still very hard to judge which teams are good this season and which ones aren&#8217;t.</p>



<p>If you are a past FPL player, you would know the importance of analysing fixture difficulty when making trades. </p>



<p>Fixture difficulty has a massive impact on the chances of a clean sheet and the chances of attacking returns.</p>



<p>So before we get into the rest of this week&#8217;s One-stop Kop, let&#8217;s look at some of the lessons learnt about some of the Premier League teams so far this season&#8230;</p>

<p>Arsenal have the best defence in the league.</p>



<p>Having only conceded the one goal this season (that being Szoboszlai&#8217;s worldie free kick), Arsenal&#8217;s defence has already recorded 3 clean sheets.</p>



<p>Lock in Raya or anyone else in that backline as a season-long keeper. </p>



<p>A good test for them against Manchester City this week though. </p>



<p>While praising Arsenal for their singular goal conceded so far, fellow London teams Tottenham and Crystal Palace have also managed the same feat.</p>



<p>Both defences look solid, and once again, their defenders should be trade in targets in your teams. </p>



<p>For attackers, I think it is important to target the main players from the best teams in the league, as these are the teams that are most likely to score 3+ goals in any given match.</p>



<p>The likes of Manchester City, Arsenal, Liverpool, and Chelsea are great teams to target for attackers, while Tottenham and Bournemouth have also started the season off hot on the score sheet.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>BREAKEVENS</strong></h2>



<p>Breakevens are the score required for the player to either make money or lose money.</p>



<p>When looking at who to trade in this week, heavily consider the players with low breakevens, as they will help make your team money. </p>



<p>Similarly, if you have some players with high breakevens in your team, maybe it&#8217;s time to consider cutting ties to ensure your team doesn&#8217;t lose too much value.</p>
