In the first part of this week’s set pieces article we have uncovered some interesting match-ups for Gameweek 4.

We’ve managed to uncover the fact that the side to have conceded the most attempts from dead ball situations in the first three Gameweeks will be facing the striker with the most shots from them – the stuff of Fantasy Football dreams.

Fantasy Football Scout members can view the data both in the Members Area and in the article below, where we go into a bit more detail.

    Peltier worth -4 to Doherty for squad reasons?

    I have TAA (3 yc) and AWB (played in Carabao) who could be rotated and my 5th mid is injured

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Unless you think he has a good chance of scoring more than 4, then no.

    2. Hart-ake
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Nah. Not worth it. Awb basically confirmed to play as well.

    3. Planet Head
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Only take hits for first team reasons

  2. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Assuming both are fit, would you play Tomkins or AWB?

    1. Buck The Trent
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Tompkins

    2. #FPLBhuna
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Awb 100%

    3. Deulofail
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      I have Sakho first sub for the baps, AWB second for the attacking and baps, and I would put Tomkins 3rd for the goals, which is the least likely I think.

    4. Hart-ake
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      I'm playing awb. But I read that Saints are vulnerable from set pieces...

    5. Yank Revolution
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Tomkins would seem to have more goal threat...but AWB could get an assist....guess Id go Tomkins.

    6. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      AWB_his price is wrong and he's a damned fine player and a cemented 1st choice

    7. Forza
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      AWB has the assist threat, but Tomkins has the goal threat and better baseline BPS.

    8. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Thanks all.

    9. Woy of the Wovers
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      I'd question why I'd want to bench either. But AWB is the first I'd play.

      1. how now brown cow
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Kepa
        Robbo Mendy AWB/Tomkins
        Pedro Mane Salah Bilva
        Aguero Arnie Zaha

        Anyone else you'd bench instead?

  3. MJM
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Would you say that D.Silva is nailed while KDB is out?

    1. lilmessipran
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      I'd say pretty certain to start

    2. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      No one in that team is nailed, but I think he is a good pick.

    3. Ambrosiana Inter
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      He s been pretty nailed last season when kdb was fit so,I say 100% yes

    4. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      I'm passing all Citeh m/f questions on to my superiors.

      I'm fruitfully flummexed

    5. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      I expect him to be a regular starter, but wouldn't say he's nailed

  4. lilmessipran
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Pick one to bench out of this lot for this gw
    A fraser
    B king
    C WB

    1. dbeck
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      A

    2. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      A

  5. Dr. Ante Pavlovic
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Going with 5-2-3 this week, what do you think?

    Kepa
    Trippier, VVD, Mendy, Luiz, WB
    Salah, Hazard
    Mitrovic, Aguero(c), King

    Bench: Stekelenburg, Neves, Fraser, Masuaku

    1. lilmessipran
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      I'll probably play fraser ahead of wb/luiz

    2. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Looks nice

    3. Men in green tights
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      No clean sheet for Chelsea this week so go with fraser

  6. Hazardous1983
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Moura or miki on wc

    1. Scotty B
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      I've gone Moura. Tough choice tho

  7. EgyptianKing
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Best captain choice for GW4 - Salah or Kun?

    Big indecision for me

    1. dbeck
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Easy decision- kun, see his record vs the toon plus Home game

      1. EgyptianKing
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        He should start for sure, no?

        Thanks

        1. dbeck
          • 8 Years
          8 years, 18 days ago

          I’d say so

    2. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Even with your name (unless you are referring to Hossam Ghaly)?

      I'm going Kun.

      1. EgyptianKing
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Ahahah!

        I'll probably give the vice-captain armband to the Egyptian King this week, yeah...

  8. Davido989
    • 16 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Liverpool's September is up there with one of the hardest fixture schedule. Such few recovery days too. Rotation looms. 😯

    1. Patch
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Except for VVD whilst Lovren out...

      1. Deulofail
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Still has the same fixtures though. Happy to have sold and have just one Pool asset for now, despite their fixture-proofness

        1. tets mcgee (Ha La Land)
          • 11 Years
          8 years, 18 days ago

          i felt something was missing, but couldnt put me finger on it... then i realised im not beating mr deulofail in a league yet this season 🙂

          1. Deulofail
            • 10 Years
            8 years, 18 days ago

            Hahaha we can amend this if you like.

    2. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Get 2 or 3 up, forwards come off on the hour mark. .

      A doddle

    3. Pompel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      So too late to jump on the Robbo wagon then I guess. Will keep Salah and possibly Mané I think

    4. Jay_
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Are the Euro dates/teams confirmed yet? I was only planning to C Salah weeks 6 and 10. If 6 is off the table, it’s time to re-think.

      1. panda07
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        They play tot on 15th, PSG 18th & SOT on the 22nd

        1. Jay_
          8 years, 18 days ago

          So PSG is confirmed? Thanks. Chelsea 29th too.

    5. Richd
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      And people will sell Robertson for TAA/Lovren. He’s not a season keeper.

      Those who say I’m wrong are all bookmarked 😉

  9. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Fabianski or Ryan set and forget with Hamer?

    1. Croaker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Ryan

  10. Yank Revolution
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Richarlison/Bilva out
    Walcott/Moura in

    - 4

    Should I?

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Just Rich out. If you can’t afford Walcott go for Fraser or someone

      1. Yank Revolution
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Cant afford, yes and already have Fraser.

    2. g40steve
      • 8 Years

      I have just done both, grab the price rise tonight.

      1. Yank Revolution
        • 14 Years

    1. how now brown cow
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Diggerland is tops.

      1. Patch
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        It certainly is there is a big discount deal right now (expires tomorrow)

    2. Patch
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Come on guys pls sell Stephens pronto

      He is on the brink of dropping, make sure you don't lose valuable value!!!!

  12. Chris_White
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Pool play PSG between Spurs (A) and Soton (H)

    Could be some rotation for Soton...

    1. Goat
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Are Pool home or away?

      1. Chris_White
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        home

  13. Scotty B
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Pick two of these:

    A Dilva
    B Moura
    C Mkhi

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Easy AC here

        This

  14. Bobby Digital
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Would you cap Salah or Sterling? Early kickoff putting me off Salah..

    1. Dannyb
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Sterling as I think he will surely start this week.

    2. Ambrosiana Inter
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Sterling 100%

    3. Men in green tights
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Who else have you got as none of them

      1. Bobby Digital
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Sterling and Salah only bighitters...

    4. FPL Touches
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Too much risk capping Sterling for me. Could be better off going left-field and sticking it on Alonso

    5. Ode
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Sterling!

    6. MTPockets
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Salah. Pep roulette just not worth the stress

    7. Legomané
      • Has Moderation Rights

      Rahz

  15. #FPLBhuna

    Anyone got any news on zaha? Reading rumors

    1. Ambrosiana Inter
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Naaa Rumours concerning national team on,y

    2. Richd

      Reading can’t afford him

      1. #FPLBhuna
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Haha 😉

      2. dbeck
        • 8 Years

        Needs more credit

      3. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        😆

    3. Hart-ake
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      What rumours? Worrying..,

      1. Rotation's Alter Ego
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Wouldn't stress it. Not going to the ACON qualifying games with Ivory Coast because of 'Personal Reasons'

  16. WijnaldumLeviosa
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    I know I'm slow but still stuck on the Mkhi vs Walcott transfer in for Richarlison... anyone still willing to settle this?

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Mhki here

    2. Ambrosiana Inter
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Got arsenal cover?go Walcott. Got Everton cover go Mkhitaryan

      1. dbeck
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        And if you don’t have either cover?

        1. Ambrosiana Inter
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 18 days ago

          Mkhitaryan...

          1. WijnaldumLeviosa
            • 8 Years
            8 years, 18 days ago

            No Arsenal or Everton players here so...

    3. Ode
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Both are great options but Mkhi edges it for me

    4. Richd
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      No way would I get Walcott. Mkhi. Pedro. Fraser. Gross. Hundreds ahead of that clown.

      1. WijnaldumLeviosa
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Already got Fraser and Arsenal's fixtures look too good to miss over Chelsea and Brighton

    5. Angelic upstart
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Why not keep? Maybe Gylfi?

      1. WijnaldumLeviosa
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        I also have Cairney out injured so want to transfer one to play next GW; not sold on Gylfi at that price point

    6. phace
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Mhki. Has looked great so far this season, coming in off the wing to shoot and overlaps for assists. I have Walcott as well - inevitable that he will let you down. Plus Arsenal fixtures are decent.

      1. WijnaldumLeviosa
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Looking like the best option, cheers!

        I have Eriksen...

    8. WijnaldumLeviosa
      • 8 Years

      Thanks to all for the responses!

  17. Nice to Finally Michu
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Is this worth a -4?

    Firmino, Richarlison, Doherty > Auba, Fraser, Bennett?

    1. Richd
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      I would. Auba is 10.9 bargain now.

      1. FPL Touches
        • 15 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Not much more of a bargain that 11.0 surely? 😆

        1. Richd
          • 14 Years
          8 years, 18 days ago

          Almost 1% more of a bargain.

    2. MTPockets
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Maybe but I'd wait for form first from Auba.

    3. Hart-ake
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      I don't like it. Not worth the -4 for me.

    4. FPL Touches
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Just keep Firmino for the time being and do it for free

      1. Ambrosiana Inter
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Sturridge lurking

        1. FPL Touches
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 18 days ago

          Firmino playing a much different role to a typical Sturridge role. Studge more a direct replacement for Mane or Salah

    5. Ambrosiana Inter
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Yesssss

  18. Jay Jay Okocha
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Have 1.0 ITB after dumping Richarlison...

    A) Bernardo to Dilva
    B) Tomkins to PVA/Pereira

    1. Men in green tights
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Pereira after this weekend

    2. Bobby Digital
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Both are sideways moves.. not for me...

  19. The Legend Squad
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    Hello, what do we think:

    1. D.Silva and Holebas (will rotate with Wan-Bissaka)
    2. Moura and Robertson

    1. MTPockets
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Would you also rotate Robertson? If so 1

      1. The Legend Squad
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        No. 2 would be a set and forget defence of Alonso, Mendy, Robertson.

        1. Would be Alonso, Mendy and Holebas/WanBissaka depending on fixtures

        1. MTPockets
          8 years, 18 days ago

          Hard to decide then. Moura's minutes may apparently become limited by Son/Lamela. Robertson has lei, tot, SOU, che, MCI. Think I'd go 1 just on basis of Silva's fixtures and def rotatability, but both have pros/cons and guess most here would pick 2.

  20. We Go Again
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 18 days ago

    I'm seeing Ings is yellow, start him or Wan Bissaka? Scared Ings will come off the bench for and deliver 1 point...

      He’ll be fine. It’s a blister.

      Blister. If he’s able to run about on it then he will start, if he can’t then I doubt he’ll even be on the bench. So play Ings, WB first sub

    Vice

    A) Hazard
    B) Auba

    Currently on Auba simply due to the fact he plays sUnday and he’s got to come good did great end of last season.

      A. Hazard looking fiiiine under Sari

    2. FPL Touches

      Hazard all the way for me

  22. Dannyb

    Right guys need some help with this one.
    A - Salah to Hazard
    B - Mane and Ward (Cardiff mid) to Hazard and Walcott -4
    Will be wildcarding in a few weeks so can bring Salah back if it's a colossal balls up.

    1. FPL Touches
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      B looks very decent to me

    2. MTPockets
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Honestly don't like either (Salah out/Mane out for a hit), but B if had to choose.

    3. Men in green tights

      Neither wc later to get hazard

      I think its best not to be too clever with Salah... he's a keeper.

      B looks great. But how are you affording this? Can you not just do Mane to Hazard?

        POO?

    5. Dannyb
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Ahh feck, I can't afford B so would have to be Bavies downgrade to a 5m defender.

    Aight got a big problem lads, forgot to switch rich for Walcott and now I can't afford it without a hit. Do I do
    A) Rich to Maddison straight swap
    Or
    B) Rich and Chilwell to Walcott and Holebas?
    Or something else

    Thanks in advance 🙂

      A

      Watford fixtures aren't brilliant so I wouldn't be bringing in a defender for a hit.

    I asked earlier when champs league fixtures would be announced and was told tonight. Still not seeing any?

  25. Gazza2000

    Do you think Richarlison will drop again before deadline ?

  26. Sterling Malory

    Anyone know what’s happened to Otamendi?

    Was pretty nailed last season.

      I thought this. Laporte and Stone are the future. Kompany was woeful against wolves

    2. Sarcastic Warnock
      • 8 Years

      He is going to start against the geordie boys

      Missing an arsenal asset...

    2. Richd
      • 14 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Seems cool.

      Worrying if you need Auba or Kane soon tho!

  29. Richd

    Been a boring fpl week really.

    The first couple were crazy with high scores.

    The lull of a low score followed by everyone using their FT on Richarlison and most doing that move early due to price changes has killed the week early.

    1. Patch
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 18 days ago

      Ok.then Ralls to Guendo or Stephens?

      Agree.v boring but just need an answer ...

      If Stephens falls by sat morning then him otherwise Guendo....fair?

      1. Richd
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 18 days ago

        Yeah. Stephens if 4.4 else guendo is the man.

        1. Patch
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 18 days ago

          Ok done FLP Fate to take this forward

          Goodnight I sleep a bit easier

          Basically means I save 0.5 using 1FT

          After IB I have 2FT so will find the next 0.5 to enable Mane to Hazard

      First weeks were awful, just the template performing. Now its becoming interesting.

    My finger is so bloody itchy - can't wait for the palpable relief of hitting that WC button on Saturday at midday.
