Now that most of the 5th round of the FA Cup is through, you have some time to absorb this week's phantom aces and in-form fliers!
Phantom Aces
Here are all players with at least 60 phantom points since GW15. For your analysis, I have also included average points, total phantom points, phantom points up to GW15, and the ranks for each. I find it amazing that Sidwell has the 2nd most phantom points since GW15, and Brunt the third.

In-Form Fliers
While phantom points are great, it is total points that determine your rank. The following is the list of all players who have scored at least 45 points over the last 5 GWs. You can since their points for each week, as well as their total, mean, and median for the last five. Suarez has dropped to 10th on this list, while his partner Sturridge has jumped to the top.
