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
        • 11 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

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

    2. Ady87
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 days 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
        8 years, 2 days ago

        its not only about duration but about time of start too

        1. Rotation's Alter Ego
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 2 days ago

          It sounds like something worth considering for sure 🙂

    2. Fantastisk
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 days 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
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Any other Sterling(c) here?

    Probably just me 😆

    1. FPL Virgin
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Could be genius. He does well at home.

      1. Rainer
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        Not when Pep plays 3-5-2.

        1. OldBenKenobi
          • 9 Years
          8 years, 2 days 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
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      He knows something we don't. As per.

    4. Fantastisk
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Muggy

    5. ClassiX
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

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

      1. Fantastisk
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        Even the best of them got sucked in by Ings smh

  5. supersham
    • 15 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

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

    1. Marvin.
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      He won't.

    2. kinghenry14
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 days 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
    8 years, 2 days ago

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

    1. Marvin.
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 days 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
        8 years, 2 days 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
          8 years, 2 days 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
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Sorting team for next week, play:

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

    1. Shah G
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

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

    2. L'Aeroplanino
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      AWB

  8. Fantastisk
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

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

    1. DeathoftheParty
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

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

  9. CostaCoffee
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Hazard (C) let’s go

    1. LosBlancos
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Hattie time in the Garden of Eden

      1. DeathoftheParty
        • 10 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        Garden of Eden... Lolz

  10. 1zverGGadeM
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 days 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
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Can all my 11 players play and score the points please

  11. tambourineman
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 2 days 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…
      • 9 Years

      Damnnn

    2. Fantastisk
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Tears later on

    3. DeathoftheParty
      • 10 Years

      2 Wally... Lolz.

  12. Bruce Lee
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

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

    1. 1zverGGadeM
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Can I get his fpl link, please 😀

      1. Bruce Lee
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        Id is above

    2. Bruce Lee
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      He has fallen off big time...

    3. Optimus.
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      *skockwaves felt*

  13. DeathoftheParty
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

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

  14. Bruce Lee
    • 8 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    So many top players benched Ings... madness?

    1. Fantastisk
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

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

    2. Optimus.
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Seems legit, I've started Ings over WanB

      1. Bruce Lee
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

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

        1. Optimus.
          • 15 Years
          8 years, 2 days 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
        8 years, 2 days ago

        😀

    3. Texas Pete
      • 13 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Hope not. So have I.

      Take it you're playing him?

  15. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    come on pool....lets do this

    1. Fantastisk
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 days 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
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Greatest opening line to a song ever.

      1. Fantastisk
        • 8 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        Inexcusable

  17. Stupendous
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 2 days 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
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Welcome to fantasy football.

      1. Stupendous
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        Draft league is a little more entertaining at this point

      2. Stupendous
        • 14 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

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

    2. OldBenKenobi
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Not everyone 😉

    3. In Like Flynn.
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      A few unexpected results and it will all change again.

      1. OldBenKenobi
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        This

    4. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

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

    5. Critical Observer
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 days 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
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    I miss pre-match preamble 🙁

    1. Hybrid.power
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

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

      1. el polako
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 days 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
      8 years, 2 days ago

      this

    3. COLLIN QUANER
      • 10 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      I wondered about that. What happened to it?

      1. el polako
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 days 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
    8 years, 2 days 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
    • 10 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    BREAKING!

    Mark has captained Salah!!!! 😯

    1. Fantastisk
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

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

    2. Bruce Lee
      • 8 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Wow...

    3. OldBenKenobi
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

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

    4. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

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

      1. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
        • 17 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        "Overthinker"

    5. VS10_
      • 11 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

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

      1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

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

    6. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
      • 17 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      The decline continues ? Kun will sink him even further

  21. Hotdogs for Tea
    • 11 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Salah Captain o/

    1. OldBenKenobi
      • 9 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      😉

  22. AnfieldLad
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 2 days 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
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    What did they have for breakfast?

    1. Cpt Crunch Scott talent
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Me of course

    2. Holmes
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Salad and Pochettino

  24. tambourineman
    • 12 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    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
      8 years, 2 days ago

      Jammy 13.7% managers

  25. trikster102
    • 13 Years
    8 years, 2 days 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
    8 years, 2 days ago

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

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      probably 3-3

      1. Chucky
        • 12 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        😮

      2. Rash
        • 9 Years
        8 years, 2 days ago

        Ings and AWB grabbing all 6 between them

  27. LosBlancos
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

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

    1. Chucky
      • 12 Years
      8 years, 2 days ago

      This....

    2. IAWC ( It's a Wonderfu…

      1. LosBlancos
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years

        Anything can happen 🙂

  28. Rash
    • 9 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

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

  29. Stupendous
    • 14 Years
    8 years, 2 days ago

    Robbo to Mane boom!

  30. colakim3
    • 14 Years

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