FPL Breakfast Club returns for another episode today, this time in the build-up to Gameweek 4.

We will be on air between 11:15am and 11:45am on our YouTube channel, but you can also view the video below.

Regulars Joe and David will be joined by special guest and Scoutcast legend Granville to discuss their plans for the upcoming weekend of action.

Just as Mark did last week, Granville has now hit the Wildcard button and is in the final stages of putting his brand new squad together.

He will take us through the decisions he has had to make over the last few days in the minutes before that all important Gameweek 4 deadline at 11:30am.

We will also hear from Joe and David about their latest plans and bring you the team news for Leicester City vs Liverpool too.

Reds manager Jurgen Klopp hinted that he may start rotating his side in the near future and if he has done that for the trip to Leicester we’ll get the initial reaction.

      Good man. 🙂

      1. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Surprised you followed the crowd with Walcott and Alonso ? I thought you were a free thinker 😉

    2. Ady87
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      A post worthy of top of the page.

  2. Lone Wolf FPL

    I think that better idea would be start Breakfast Club just after deadline and make it last at least 30mins.
    It would also be nice time filler during updating as now its too short and interrupt while some are making last decisions and lokkin for last minute leaks.

      Joe wants to push it longer, and hopefully it will be in the future 🙂

      1. Lone Wolf FPL
        • 10 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        its not only about duration but about time of start too

        1. Rotation's Alter Ego
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 14 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          It sounds like something worth considering for sure 🙂

    2. Fantastisk
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      It would suit me better if they could do it in two parts, to allow me to have breakfast in between. Please pass on.

  3. OldBenKenobi
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Any other Sterling(c) here?

    Probably just me 😆

    1. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Could be genius. He does well at home.

      1. Rainer
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Not when Pep plays 3-5-2.

        1. OldBenKenobi
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          I’m hoping he’s part of that 2

  4. Team Cruel
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years

    Ville Ronke playing 451 😯

      The Power of Wan!

    3. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      He knows something we don't. As per.

    4. Fantastisk
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Muggy

    5. ClassiX
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      That's because he has Ings and Kamara as his other forwards,,,

      1. Fantastisk
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Even the best of them got sucked in by Ings smh

  5. supersham
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    If Salah blanks today there will be a mass exodus leaving Mo as a differential of sorts

    1. Marvin.
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      He won't.

    2. kinghenry14
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      the guy averaged 8 ppg so far, one blank won't change much and he will probably get points anyway

  6. Parm
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Leicester's starting XI is , um, interesting. Not sure why Kieta is dropped over Wijnaldum but hey.

    1. Marvin.
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Naby is still finding his feet in the league to be fair. Putting Hendo in for a tough away game makes sense. Keita has been making a few loose passes despite being good overall.

      1. Parm
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Of course but he is still of a much higher quality than Wijnaldum, who has been playing the deeper midfield role that Henderson occupies.

        1. Marvin.
          • 9 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Yeah I was a little surprised but Naby was a little sloppy with the ball in the last couple of games. I suspect he will come on.

  7. Miguel Sanchez
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Sorting team for next week, play:

    A) AWB (hud)
    B) Robertson (tot)
    C) Cook (LEI)

    1. Shah G
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I am benching A B, playing Boly(Bur)..

    2. L'Aeroplanino
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      AWB

  8. Fantastisk
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Salah to absolutely punish non believers here with a hattie. Nailed on.

    1. DeathoftheParty
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      There's going to be so many Hattie's today.

  9. CostaCoffee
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Hazard (C) let’s go

    1. LosBlancos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Hattie time in the Garden of Eden

      1. DeathoftheParty
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Garden of Eden... Lolz

  10. 1zverGGadeM
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    All I need is Mitro Hatty and Wilson goal + Alonso goal/assist/baps!!!

    Not so much I guess..

    Please FPL GODS! Do this for me!!!

    1. DeathoftheParty
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Can all my 11 players play and score the points please

  11. tambourineman
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Overall top 100 captains:
    Aguero 84 (incl 4 TCs)
    Salah 7
    Hazard 3
    Alonso & Walcott 2
    Lukaku & Sterling 1

    1. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Damnnn

    2. Fantastisk
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Tears later on

    3. DeathoftheParty
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      2 Wally... Lolz.

  12. Bruce Lee
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    VR played Fraser away to Chelsea over Ings away to Palace...

    1. 1zverGGadeM
      • 8 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Can I get his fpl link, please 😀

      1. Bruce Lee
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Id is above

    2. Bruce Lee
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      He has fallen off big time...

    3. Optimus.
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      *skockwaves felt*

  13. DeathoftheParty
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Tosun hatty would be a nice headache to have...

  14. Bruce Lee
    • 7 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    So many top players benched Ings... madness?

    1. Fantastisk
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      They will be the ones to miss out on his blistering pace.

    2. Optimus.
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Seems legit, I've started Ings over WanB

      1. Bruce Lee
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Same... I have PVA so it was a little easier as I'm spreading the risk

        1. Optimus.
          • 15 Years
          7 years, 7 months ago

          Given the choice I usually choose the attacker over a defender, watch this go pear shaped now 🙂

      2. Colonel Shoe 肝池
        • 14 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        😀

    3. Texas Pete
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Hope not. So have I.

      Take it you're playing him?

  15. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 14 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    come on pool....lets do this

    1. Fantastisk
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      4-3 with Salah hattie

  16. FPL Virgin

    "Welcome to your life / There's no turning back. "

    1. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Greatest opening line to a song ever.

      1. Fantastisk
        • 7 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Inexcusable

  17. Stupendous
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Its week 4 and just about EVERYONE has the exact same team and the exact same captain. At least in all my leagues.

    Boooooooooooooring

    1. Fantastisk
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Welcome to fantasy football.

      1. Stupendous
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Draft league is a little more entertaining at this point

      2. Stupendous
        • 13 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        It's essentially Neves v Hughes
        Or Taa v Robertson swinging something

    2. OldBenKenobi
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Not everyone 😉

    3. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      A few unexpected results and it will all change again.

      1. OldBenKenobi
        • 9 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        This

    4. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Eh there's still enough difference. Hazard especially isn't in many teams.

    5. Critical Observer
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      My ML rival has transferred in Fraser + Mitro, whom I already had; I'm thinking of filing an official complaint to fpl towers.

  18. el polako
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    I miss pre-match preamble 🙁

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Same. I'm not a fan of all the new video content.

      1. el polako
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Video content is ok but pre-match preamble was by far my favourite article of the week.

    2. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      this

    3. COLLIN QUANER
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      I wondered about that. What happened to it?

      1. el polako
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        From what I understand Mark needs to prioritize other (more important than football) things in his life, leaving him with not much spare time for being active part of FFS.

  19. OldBenKenobi
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Bit concerned that Auba plays 2moro.
    Means I have to wait another days price changes (probably) before I know whether he blanks again and needs to go.... 😯

  20. FPL Virgin
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    BREAKING!

    Mark has captained Salah!!!! 😯

    1. Fantastisk
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      He's about to get his season back on track.

    2. Bruce Lee
      • 7 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Wow...

    3. OldBenKenobi
      • 9 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Bit of a differential this week within this community it’s.
      He’s my VC

    4. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Good shout by Mark ... a true free thinker 😉

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 16 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        "Overthinker"

    5. VS10_
      • 10 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Wildcarded basically to get Agüero in, and then capping Salah two weeks in a row. 🙂

      1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Maybe the business side of his fpl endeavors is taking its toll

    7. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 16 Years

      The decline continues ? Kun will sink him even further

  21. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 10 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Salah Captain o/

    1. OldBenKenobi
      • 9 Years

      😉

  22. AnfieldLad
    • 11 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Early days ofc but looks like I'll be setting up 5-4-1 next week (Shaw & WB over Mitrovic & Ings). Don't think I've ever played 5-4-1 before!

  23. tiger

    What did they have for breakfast?

    1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Me of course

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years

      Salad and Pochettino

  24. tambourineman
    • 11 Years

    Aguero captained by 86.3% of top 10k, 185.9% effective ownership

    https://fpldiscovery.wordpress.com/2018/09/01/18-19-gw4-team-selection-and-stats/

    1. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      Jammy 13.7% managers

  25. trikster102
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Used my WC. Went with

    Cech
    Alonso Robertson Mendy
    Walcott Mané Lucas Moura Mkhitaryan Hazard
    Mitrovic Agüero
    - Etheridge Wan-Bissaka Bennett Zohore

    Had to lose Salah. It was either Mane and Hazard or Salah and Pedro so I went with the former.

  26. Chucky
    • 12 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Any chance of soton-palace game ending 0-0?... need those cedric and bissaka cleanie points....

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      7 years, 7 months ago

      probably 3-3

      1. Chucky
        • 12 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        😮

      2. Rash
        • 8 Years
        7 years, 7 months ago

        Ings and AWB grabbing all 6 between them

  27. LosBlancos
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Kun blanking and Hazard hattie would do wonders for my rank 😎

    1. Chucky
      • 12 Years

      This....

    2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…

      1. LosBlancos
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 8 Years

        Anything can happen 🙂

  28. Rash
    • 8 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Over 9 million transfer made this week.. seems unusally high?

  29. Stupendous
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Robbo to Mane boom!

  30. colakim3
    • 13 Years
    7 years, 7 months ago

    Sooo glad i kept Firmino and didn't switch out Mané for Salah
