Premier League Recap

GW5 in the Premier League was packed with tight margins and late drama. Arsenal rescued a draw with a Martinelli stoppage-time strike against City, while Liverpool edged Everton 2–1 in the Merseyside derby. Brighton and Spurs traded blows in a 2–2 thriller, and United got it done 2–1 over Chelsea despite Casemiro’s red card. Fulham piled misery on Brentford with a 3–1 win, while Leeds continued their charge by smashing Wolves 3–1 away. Even Sunderland nicked a draw against Villa — not bad for the promoted side.

Mini League Headlines

After five gameweeks, the Biddenham Fantasy League is beginning to split into packs. Callum Bowness leads the way on 327 points, riding a solid 60 in GW5 to stay top. George Foy stumbled badly this week (just 33 points) but clings to second overall on 316. Will Finney sits in third with 302, steady if unspectacular on 45 points in GW5.

The chasing pack is tightly bunched: olly barnes (294), Chris Beeden (289), and Emmy Rupasinghe (289) are all within touching distance. A single captaincy swing could shuffle these places dramatically.

Gameweek 5 Standouts

Top Scorers: Phil Johnson and Emmy Rupasinghe shared GW5 bragging rights on 68 points apiece. Their template picks fired, and both gained rank momentum.
Big Risers: Emmy Rupasinghe and Mark Horton climbed six places each, proof that one big week can flip the script.
Big Fallers: Mike Flynn tumbled six spots after a miserable 27 points, joined by Georg Coakley who slid four places.
Bench Pain: olly barnes left 18 points to rot on the pine, Jamie Mitchell 17. That’s enough to trigger nightmares until GW6.
George’s Crash: Foy’s Boys managed just 33 points — the week’s worst among the top 10 — and suddenly his early lead looks shaky.

Season So Far

Across the first five weeks, the league has already delivered drama. GW1 belonged to olly barnes, who stormed in with 79 points. GW2 saw George Foy rocket up the ranks thanks to a monster 80+, briefly holding OR inside the top 10k. By GW3, Callum emerged as the consistent machine, and now after GW5 he has cemented himself at the summit.

At the other end, Ekene Amadi (198 points) and Dan Birkinshaw (193) have struggled to get going, already 100+ off the pace. Chips are still in hand though — one well-played wildcard and the season can swing.

With 29 managers, 5 weeks played, and plenty of chaos still to come, the Biddenham Fantasy League is wide open. So far: captaincy hauls, bench disasters, and a top 3 that could change with a single rogue Salah hat-trick. Buckle up.

ℹ️ What are Template% and Diffs?

Template% shows how closely a manager's starting XI matches the most popular starters in the league that GW (the "template XI"). Higher % = safer, lower % = more unique.

Diffs counts how many of your starters were under 20% started across the league. More diffs = higher risk, higher upside.
