Fantasy Premier League: Best XI For Game-week 5

Bengaluru, Sept. 16: Another week of Premier League football has passed by with lots of twists and turns. The biggest shock of the week came from promoted Norwich who despite ten injuries, upset defending winners Manchester City at their home with a 3-2 victory.

Other top-six sides, Liverpool, Manchester United, Tottenham and Chelsea all registered a comfortable victory. However, Unai Emery's men were stopped by struggling Watford at Vicarage road despite Gunners 2-0 aggregate at one point.

The goal-scoring week thus has provided better average fantasy points this week but the several managers who had multiple players from Manchester City or captained them have been hit with a loss.

Below we combine an XI of top performers of game week five:
