EPL Supercoach | One-stop Kop: everything you need to know Gameweek 5


<p>We are now a month into the EPL Supercoach season, and you could finally say that we have a decent sample size to work with for each team and player.</p>



<p>Maybe it is someone you started with who continues to disappoint; it could finally be the week to cut ties.</p>



<p>Or maybe it is a player who has continued to look good, and this is the week to bring them in.</p>



<p>Or maybe you are happy with how your team is tracking, and it&#8217;s a week to hold trades ahead of the extended international break that follows&#8230;</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Gameweek 4 Talking Points</strong></h2>



<p>Who would have thought the highest-scoring player in a week above 5% ownership would be a goalkeeper!?</p>



<p>Well, David Raya delivered the goods for managers in Gameweek 4 with a clean sheet and penalty save on his way to a monster 21-point haul.</p>



<p>João Pedro was the other highly-owned player who found himself near the top of the scoring charts, picking up another goal and assist as Chelsea&#8217;s front three continue to produce incredible numbers.</p>

<p>Outside of that, it really was the Brighton and Leeds show. </p>



<p>Brighton battered a 10-man Coventry side 5-0. Despite the red card, Coventry still look the pick of the fixtures to target week in, week out.</p>



<p>Leeds then put on a clinic to defeat Newcastle 4-1 to round out the week, and were unlucky to concede in the 90th minute to lose the clean sheet.</p>



<p>Speaking of clean sheets, we had two goalless draws over the weekend.</p>



<p>To no surprise, Tottenham was one of them, with neither them nor Everton able to get on the scoresheet as the Spurs remain scoreless in the league this season&#8230;</p>



<p>Liverpool vs Fulham was the other, to the surprise of many, as both teams had been involved in high-scoring games to date.</p>

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



<p>In this section, I will give the latest injury and suspension updates, focusing on the more Supercoach-relevant players. </p>



<p>As always with these things, the information given to the public is not always perfect and can sometimes change quickly.</p>



<p><strong>Ben White (ARS): </strong>Suffered a groin injury vs Sunderland and went off at half-time, expected to be minor but won&#8217;t be surprised if Arsenal wait until after the international break to play him.</p>



<p><strong>Georginio Rutter (BRI):</strong> Suffered an injury setback before the Coventry game, but still expected to be close to returning.</p>



<p><strong>Luke Shaw (MUT):</strong> Missed the Manchester Derby with an ongoing muscle issue but could return this week.</p>



<p><strong>Anthony Elanga (NEW): </strong>Suffered an unknown injury in training, but reports are that it could be a significant injury that sees him miss some time.</p>



<p><strong>Sandro Tonali (TOT):</strong> Missed Tottenham&#8217;s midweek game with a knock but expected to return for the weekend.</p>



<p><strong>Phil Foden (MCI):</strong> Will be suspended for 3 matches after being sent off vs United on the weekend.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Gameweek 5 Fixtures</strong></h2>



<p>Gameweek 5 will kick off at 5:00am AEST on Saturday the 19th of September, with Brentford hosting Chelsea.</p>



<p>The fixture to target of the week is most likely Manchester City hosting Sunderland. </p>



<p>Meanwhile, many managers are also targeting Nottingham Forrest assets, against a Coventry City team fresh off a hiding.</p>



<p>Arsenal visit a high-scoring Brighton side, which should be another good test for the defending champions.</p>



<p>Newcastle also have a favourable fixture at home to Hull, as they look to bounce back from an embarrassing defeat.</p>



<p>Game of the week for me is Bournemouth hosting Liverpool, with Iraola facing his old club, and desperate for a win after 3 draws from 4 to start the season.</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, heavily consider the players with low breakevens, as they are likely to rise in price.</p>



<p>Similarly, if you have players with high breakevens in your team, it could be time to consider cutting ties to ensure your team doesn’t lose too much value.</p>
