Gameweek 4 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) begins with the clash between Southampton and Manchester United.

Kick-off at St Mary’s is at 12:30 BST.

These are two teams who largely struggled in the opening two Gameweeks before getting their first wins of the season last weekend.

Partly as a result of those victories, there is only one change to the starting XIs across the two sides.

Ralph Hasenhuttl has made it and it’s a predictable one, with Che Adams – scorer of four goals in league and cup over the last week – in for Sekou Mara.

Erik ten Hag’s decision to go with an unchanged line-up means that it’s another benching for Cristiano Ronaldo, with the United boss again opting for a front three of Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford and Anthony Elanga.

Anthony Martial, as reported yesterday, misses out due to injury, while new signing Casemiro is on the bench.

GAMEWEEK 4 LINE-UPS

Southampton XI: Bazunu, Djenepo, Salisu, Bella-Kotchap, Walker-Peters, Lavia, Ward-Prowse, A Armstrong, Elyounoussi, Aribo, Adams.

Subs: McCarthy, Lyanco, Bednarek, Valery, Romeu, S Armstrong, Diallo, Perraud, Mara.

Manchester United XI: De Gea, Malacia, Martinez, Varane, Dalot, McTominay, Eriksen, Sancho, Fernandes, Elanga, Rashford.

Subs: Heaton, Maguire, Shaw, Wan-Bissaka, Fred, Casemiro, Van de Beek, Ronaldo, Garnacho.

    Cancelo & James ain't worth the premium this season!

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Yet people still complain if you post an RMT without them

      1. TheBiffas
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Haven't owned either at any point, and don't plan to

        1. Piggs Boson

          Link your team. I wanna snoop...

            How does one link their team

    3. RamaJama

      Is trent and Robbo?

    4. FOO FIGHTER
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Cancelo pretty much a high playing defensive midfielder just receiving the ball.

      City are playing with 9 midfielders with Pep giving each one a job.

    5. MIGHTY JOE
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years

      Shipped James prior to this round. Hope ur right

    6. Zimo
      • 8 Years

      Is James a premium?

  13. FPL Emu
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Considering this line up, what do you think of Saka to Gundogan for midweek?

    1. TomSaints
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I’m thinking Foden to Gundon and then upgrade my 4.0 keeper

  14. Piggs Boson

    Those Liverpool & City benches are a steaming pile of Spitch.

    Danny Ward keeps out Iversen

    It's the only thing he will do tho!

    1. TheBiffas

      *the only thing he'll keep out

      Missed opportunity

        that's what i meant.

        Got a bit clumsy!

        1. Hits from the Bong
          • 8 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          It's the way you tell 'em

  16. Scots Gooner
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    So glad I couldn’t afford Gundo

  17. Nightcrawler
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Tuchel deserves another mudding for persisting with James at CB

    1. CornerTakenQuicklyOrigi
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Once Fofana and Koulibaly are in the team James will be RWB greater than or equal to 86% of matches.

  18. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Regarding the Chelsea team, it's either a four at the back or three at the back.

    If back four, James is playing RB & Cucurella LB. RLC part of a midfield three.

    If back three, James is playing RCB (could be LCB as Chalobah is a RCB, but we'll see) & Cucurella LWB. RLC would be a wing back.

    Imagine the formation is sort of fluid as it usually is, but let's see how it goes.

    1. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I've seen RLC and Chalobah as wing backs but they usually swith it up on the hour in search of a goal.

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      The Fifth Stand (Chelsea app) says:

      "[Chalobah] is expected to play in the back three alongside Reece James and Thiago Silva."

      "[Tuchel has...] opted for Marc Cucurella and Ruben Loftus-Cheek as his wing-backs"

      Will note it does say EXPECTED, there's your lot 🙂

    3. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Chelsea played much better when RLC moved to the midfield. I am sure Tuchel had seen that.

  19. boc610 (114 out of 115 aint…

    pep roulette ... the house always wins .

    1. Yome
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      People never learn. They keep bringing city players and they get upset when they are benched. Oh boy…

  20. 3 A
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    Against Ronaldo? Easy

  21. dshv
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    If james and mount do nothing I have 2ft for them as well…

  22. Camzy
    • 16 Years
    4 years, 1 month ago

    I'm not even that upset with the Gundo benching. It's fine. Means he most likely starts midweek.

    1. FPL Daniel
      • 17 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I brought him for a hit so yes I am mad. Should have gone Rodrigo and enjoyed those price rises.

      1. Camzy
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        Let's see after the next two games who scores more. If Gundo gets a brace midweek I reckon it was the right move even if the timing was off.

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 11 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          he could score off the bench.

          But Rodrigo has prime pitch position.

    2. La Roja
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      You just never know with Pep.

    3. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I love the postive thinking..

    4. Sun Jihai
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      You’ll probably get some Andreas bench jam too!

      1. Hits from the Bong
        • 8 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        With 5 subs?

        1. Sun Jihai
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          4 years, 1 month ago

          Pep often doesn’t use subs lol

    5. FOO FIGHTER
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      I will avoid all City assets. It could be Cancelo next "Everyone plays"

    6. boc610 (114 out of 115 aint…
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      it absolutely doesn't

    7. Yome
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Then gets benched again next weekend lol

    8. Maddamotha
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Thought you said Mahrez never starts? Lol

      1. Camzy
        • 16 Years
        4 years, 1 month ago

        I've never said that... I've bought Mahrez more than most and will keep looking at him as an option if he looks like he has some consistent starts in his future.

          1. Camzy
            • 16 Years
            4 years, 1 month ago

            That doesn't mean never....

    I like that Tuchel looked at the team that lost 3-0 and said yeah let's do that again.

    1. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      It won't happen against us though.

    2. MrZ
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Kepa should really start the match

    1. Yome
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      That is why you should not come here to ask for advice. Make your own decision

    2. AC/DC AFC
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      it's Pep roulette,

      you can't really dig anyone out on that.

    3. Vlekz
      4 years, 1 month ago

      If that's how you react then please dont bother asking for advice on this site in future

    4. Fitzy.
      • 14 Years

      Or you couldn't 'fit him in'...

    5. The Mentaculus
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 1 month ago

      Neither of them claimed to be experts. You asked for help guessing what Pep does & they tried. We all get it wrong sometimes - especially when it comes to Pep. Take responsibility for your own team & quit whining
