Summary

It's been a frustratingly low-scoring GW5, but the weekend's standout storyline has been the woeful form of clubs like Manchester United and Chelsea. While those teams continue to look for a way into this Premier League season, fantasy mangers have lost all patience—notably with Nicolas Jackson, Ben Chilwell, Bruno Fernandes, and a few others. Of those players, who are we prepared to fully turn our backs on? And which ones might prove us all wrong and score FPL points in the coming weeks? Plus, the Cheaters debate the urgency of transferring in Mo Salah and which midfielders we should consider sacrificing in order to squeeze the Egyptian in. (Is that sacrifice Son Heung-min?) Then we look ahead to GW6 fixtures and our key transfer targets and captaincy picks. Hail Cheaters!

0:00.0	Hey, L cheaters and welcome to the OSGene podcast. My name is Josh Landon. I had a bad game week. Brandon had a bad game week. You listening to the podcast probably had a bad game week. Let's get through this together. Brandon, how are you? I can at least say, Josh, that I do not play for or am affiliated with a club in crisis. So that's the bright spot for me right now.
0:37.8	We will obviously have to talk on this podcast about clubs in crisis.
0:41.6	But while my FPL team had a bad game week,

0:49.7	I bench Matt Turner.
0:50.9	Yeah, I feel like most,
0:52.0	some have Turner who may or may not play, right? It just, there's like a chance that he was going to get dropped anyway, and then his wife had a baby. And so, like, he's maybe even more doubtful now. Right. Or do they let him play so he can, like, do the baby celebration if he somehow scores a goal? I mean, a goalkeeper does score a goal once every four years or so.
1:13.4	So let's see.
1:14.3	I think we're due.
1:15.2	I think we're due for a goalkeeper goal this season.
1:18.2	It's, uh, we'll have to check Janty's goals imminent table to see who the closest goalkeeper is there.
1:25.5	What a dour Sunday.
1:28.4	Saturday had some highs and lows.
1:31.4	Yeah.
1:31.7	Yeah, I like Saturday.
1:33.2	It was interesting.
1:34.9	And we must now reflect on your wildcard because you wildcard it going into Game
1:40.4	Week 5.
1:41.7	How are you feeling about it?
1:45.2	Yeah, I'm feeling, well, okay, I, like anyone in Wildcards, you have those moments
