This Fantasy Premier League tips Gameweek 5 captains round-up is here to give you guidance in selecting both your skipper and a handy vice-captain.

Recommended selections this week include players from Man City, Arsenal and Leicester.

Sergio Agüero, Man City (forward)

Well, obviously. Away to high-flying Crystal Palace might look like a tough fixture, but they tend to fare better away from home – and, in any case, Agüero has scored in many a tough-looking away fixture before.

Alexis Sánchez, Arsenal (midfielder)

Impressed as he scored a late winner for Chile against Paraguay, which could be just the impetus he needs to get his domestic season up and running. This Saturday sees him play at home to Stoke, a fixture in which he scored twice last season.

Riyad Mahrez, Leicester (midfielder)

If he really is on Barcelona’s radar then he ought to make mincemeat of Aston Villa at the King Power Stadium this weekend.

Good luck and happy selecting!
