Looking for the best FPL players for Gameweek 4?
Each week, we’ll highlight five key picks to help you make smarter decisions for your Fantasy Premier League team.
Our weekly FPL picks will include:
Cole Palmer’s blank against Arsenal was his first of the season, with the England international registering 21 FPL points across the opening three fixtures (two goals and one assist).
As shown in the image below from our Opta Stats Sandbox, he is top for shots (12) and shots on target (five) amongst Chelsea players while only Morgan Rogers (10) has attempted more assists than his six.
Chelsea have scored eight goals this season, with no side managing more. The Blues rank sixth for shots in the box (33) and third for Expected Goals (xG, 7.15).
Their visitors, Hull City, are the only side yet to concede this season, but the underlying numbers suggest they have been fortunate. The Tigers rank 14th for shots conceded (45) and sixth for Expected Goals Conceded (xGC, 3.92).
Palmer has also earned a place in Tarek Balbaa’s current Gameweek 4 Wildcard draft. The Elite XI manager, who is currently ranked around 84k, has recorded an impressive 10 top-10k finishes.
Our Player Points Projections tool currently predicts that Cole Palmer will score 6.0 FPL points in Gameweek 4.
Alexander Isak's brace against Ipswich made it three goals in as many games for the Swedish international.
He trails only Haaland for shots in the box (13 vs nine) and shots on target (eight vs five) amongst forwards while he is also third for xG (2.30).
As the image below from our Transfer Analytics feature shows, Isak has been bought by nearly 400,000 FPL managers at the time of writing.
Liverpool are ranked fifth for goals scored (six) over the opening three Gameweeks, the Merseyside outfit are also ranked third for shots on target (18).
Their visitors Fulham have conceded seven goals with only Crystal Palace and Ipswich Town (eight each) faring worse. The Cottagers are ranked 10th for shots conceded (40) and 15th for xGC (6.35).
Our Player Points Projections tool currently predicts that Alexander Isak will score 4.9 FPL points in Gameweek 4.
Pascal Groß has been one of Brighton's standout performers this season with 16 FPL points over the opening three Gameweeks (one goal, one assist).
As shown in the image below from our Opta Stats Sandbox, the German international is Brighton's most creative player with seven attempted assists and two big chances created. He is also second amongst their players for shot (six).
Brighton are joint-first alongside Chelsea for goals scored (eight) this season, the Seagulls are also ranked third for shots (56) and top for big chances (15).
Their hosts Coventry City have conceded five goals and are yet to keep a clean sheet. The Promoted side are ranked 12th for shots conceded (41) and ninth for xGC (4.59).
Our Player Points Projections tool currently predicts that Pascal Groß will score 4.2 FPL points in Gameweek 4.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin has found the back of the net just once over the opening three Gameweeks but the underlying numbers indicate that he really should have scored more.
The 29-year-old has been afforded three big chances with only Thierno Barry, Igor Thiago, Evanlison (four each) and Haaland (five) faring better amongst forwards. He is also ranked eighth for xG (1.48).
Calvert-Lewin scored eight of his 14 goals at home last season and as the image below from our Opta Player Heatmaps feature shows, he averaged 4.1 FPL points per home appearance last season.
Leeds have scored just three goals this season, but the Yorkshire side are ranked 12th for both shots in the box (22) and xG (4.22).
Their visitors Newcastle have conceded just four goals but the underlying numbers paint a different picture. The Magpies are ranked bottom for shots conceded (62) and 17th for xGC (6.90).
Our Player Points Projections tool currently predicts that Dominic Calvert-Lewin will score 4.9 FPL points in Gameweek 4.
Injuries to Kaoru Mitoma and Yankuba Minteh have opened the door for Maxim De Cuyper to play on the wing for Brighton. The Belgian international has registered 21 FPL points across the opening three Gameweeks, with no defender producing more attacking returns than his three (one goal, two assists).
De Cuyper ranks third among defenders for chances created (five) and second for shots in the box (four). No defender has registered a higher xG total than his 1.18.
Brighton have conceded five goals this season and kept one clean sheet. The Seagulls rank third for fewest shots conceded (33) and 12th for fewest shots in the box conceded (27).
Their hosts, Coventry City, are yet to score this season and rank 18th for shots on target (seven). The promoted side also rank 18th for xG (2.59).
Our Player Points Projections tool currently gives Brighton a 40% chance of keeping a clean sheet and predicts 4.7 FPL points for Maxim de Cuyper in Gameweek 4.
