The international break has given fantasy football managers a chance to take a breather and reassess their strategies for FPL Gameweek 4.
It’s the perfect moment to reflect on the season’s key events and make those all-important adjustments before the Premier League action resumes.
Liverpool’s Impressive Start
Liverpool have been on a roll under their new manager, Arne Slot.
They’ve secured three Premier League wins out of three since Jurgen Klopp’s departure.
Meanwhile, Manchester City continues to shine, riding high after their fourth consecutive title last season.
Erling Haaland has been a major contributor, already netting two hat-tricks.
Arsenal’s Injury Concerns
Arsenal, however, are facing some hurdles as they head into the highly anticipated North London Derby against Tottenham.
Declan Rice is suspended, and there are concerns about Martin Odegaard and Riccardo Calafiori, who picked up injuries while on international duty.
Top Fantasy Picks for Gameweek 4
Best Captain Pick: Erling Haaland (£15.2m)
Predicted Points: 8.7 vs Brentford (H)
When it comes to captaincy, Erling Haaland remains a standout choice.
With seven goals in four games, including back-to-back hat-tricks, he’s a force to be reckoned with.
Haaland has been dominant in key stats, leading in shots on target, shots in the box, and big chances.
As Brentford visits the Etihad, he’s set to be a top pick, especially since Brentford has yet to keep a clean sheet this season.
Best Differential Pick: Son Heung-min (£10.0m)
Predicted Points: 5.5 vs Arsenal (H)
Son Heung-min might be flying under the radar this season, with fewer than 10% of teams including him.
Despite a tough fixture against Arsenal, Son’s potential to make an impact is significant, especially with Arsenal missing key players like Declan Rice and Martin Odegaard.
Son’s recent performance includes a brace against Everton, and he’s likely to be a key player for Spurs.
Best Defender Pick: Andrew Robertson (£6.0m)
Predicted Points: 5.5 vs Nottingham Forest (H)
While Trent Alexander-Arnold often steals the spotlight, Andrew Robertson is currently leading the way in FPL predictions.
Robertson’s attacking contributions and his presence in just 6.5% of teams make him a great differential pick.
Liverpool’s defense has been rock solid, and Robertson’s role could be crucial against Nottingham Forest.
Best Budget Midfielder Pick: Eberechi Eze (£6.9m)
Predicted Points: 7.2 vs Leicester City (H)
Eberechi Eze is proving to be a valuable asset. After scoring and earning bonus points in Gameweek 3, Eze’s stock is on the rise.
He’s in 25% of teams and has been impressive with his shot statistics and role in set pieces.
Leicester City’s defense, which has struggled this season, could be vulnerable to Eze’s attacking prowess.
Best Budget Forward Pick: Joao Pedro (£5.7m)
Predicted Points: 5.5 vs Ipswich Town (H)
Joao Pedro is the most popular transfer target ahead of Gameweek 4.
With Brighton having multiple home games coming up, Pedro is a solid choice.
His recent form, including goals in his last two games, and his role on penalties, make him a great budget option.
Ipswich Town’s shaky defense could provide Pedro with the opportunities he needs to deliver.
