My FPL Team for GW5 🔥 João Pedro is a DOUBT ⚠️
Summary
Andy breaks down his FPL team selection for Game Week 5, reflecting on a lucky 103-point haul in the previous round. He debates whether to swap Dominic Solanke for Morgan Gibbs-White, ultimately leaning toward rolling transfers to preserve flexibility. The main focus is the decision on Jiao Pedro, who is a doubt due to a yellow flag; Andy plans to hold him if he returns for Game Week 6, but considers selling him for differential options like Barry or Gonzalo Garcia if he misses multiple games.
