The penalty spot proved a good friend of Chelsea midfielder Jorginho (£5.1m) in Gameweek 4. The Italian scored twice from 12 yards as the Blues dismantled Crystal Palace 4-0 at Stamford Bridge, with Jorginho picking up 15 FPL points. Wolves attacking midfielder Pedro Neto (£5.5m) scored the only goal, a signature left-footed strike in his side's 1-0 victory over Fulham. However, no bonus points saw Neto pick up just eight FPL points from the game, despite netting the winner.

Gameweek 5 sees Chelsea host Southampton, whilst Wolves travel to Leeds. The Whites have started the season impressively and Neto will face a tough task to find the net at Elland Road. Jorginho's strong performance against Palace should see him start again vs the Saints and with penalties being such a common occurrence this season, along with Jorginho's price being £0.4m cheaper than that of Neto's, it is the Italian who gets the nod for us in this one.

Verdict: Jorginho
