For the fourth-time in five Gameweeks of Fantasy Premier League, Erling Haaland (£14.2m) outscored Mohamed Salah (£14.5m).
Haaland scored the opening goal of Manchester City's 1-1 draw against Arsenal and claimed three bonus points as a result. Prior to Gameweek 5, the Gunners were yet to concede a single big chance.
Overall, the Norwegian sits atop the Fantasy standings on 46 points. With Burnley up next, he will no doubt be a key transfer target in the week ahead.
Captained by a season-high 4.1million Fantasy Premier League managers, Salah could only reward his backers with an assist in the opening match of Gameweek 5.
Liverpool beat Everton 2-1 at Anfield, with the Egyptian setting up Ryan Gravenberch's (£5.5m) goal to return five points, or 10 with the armband.
Although yet to produce a double-figure haul this season, Salah has been consistent, notching a goal or an assist in four of his five appearances.
GW5 most-captained players
| Player | Captained by | Pts |
|---|---|---|
| Salah | 4,091,229 | 5 |
| Haaland | 1,759,985 | 9 |
| Joao Pedro | 1,492,420 | 2 |
| Ekitike | 498,130 | 6 |
| Gyokeres | 413,810 | 2 |
Salah was joined among the top five captains by team-mate Hugo Ekitike (£8.7m).
It proved a shrewd move, with Ekitike starting the match as positional-rival Alexander Isak (£10.5m) continues to build his match fitness. France international Ekitike scored the winning goal, making it three goals and an assist over the opening five Gameweeks.
Most transfers for Gameweek 5
| Most transfers in | Most transfers out | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Semenyo (BOU) | 1,174,431 | Ekitike (LIV) | 501,278 |
| Van de Ven (TOT) | 538,883 | Ait-Nouri (MCI) | 479,872 |

| Palmer (CHE) | 484,232 | Reijnders (MCI) | 365,856 |
Despite featuring among the most-captained players, Ekitike is also the most-sold player for Gameweek 5, as managers were divided on what to do with him.
In the long term, he's the player most likely to be impacted by Isak's arrival, and more than 500,000 wasted no time in shipping him out.
For the second occasion this season, Antoine Semenyo (£7.6m) is the Gameweek's top transfer target, with more than 1.1m snapping up Bournemouth's Ghanaian.
Semenyo has started the season in fine form, topping the midfielder standings after four rounds of matches.
However, the third most-selected player in Fantasy, failed to produce an attacking return against Newcastle United on Sunday. He did hit the threshold for defensive contribution to total a five-point score for the Gameweek.
