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.

    If CR7 squared the ball to Eriksen when there was a breakthrough, could have been 0-2

      where's the glory in assisting?

    Southampton's attack is useless.

    Man Utd now top of the league?

      yeah .. it's coming home!

    Mahrez playing. Captain Haaland not on penalties. 🙁

      Guaita will save it anyway.

    2. Royal5

      Only a matter of time before Mahrez miss again

    3. Tomerick

      If he wins it, he takes it I reckon

    round of applause for the poster who posted its rumoured haaland is benched at 10.51am this morning.

    1. Randaxus
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      It doesn't matter overall, it is better for Haaland owners because he is going to play against forest.

      1. Pep's Money Laundry
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        How does Haaland starting today mean he plays against Forest, it's the opposite

    2. boc610
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      we can applaud him on wednesday instead

      Is Haaland on the bench?

    Spoilt for choice with which 3pm game to watch.
    Not a fan of any team involved so it’ll have to be a purely fantasy motivated choice.
    Might watch Leeds to catch my ‘new signing’ Harrison play & scout Rodrigo for a possible future double up

    1. Mambino

      Good choice

    I hope Dasilva hauls like a mofo.

    Even if he does not, it will prove he is a regular.

    Foxes only lost once in last six visits to Chelsea …. Just saying.

    1. Lingard’s Shin Guards

      Even if they win, Ward is still only getting a 1 pointer

    3. Old Man
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years

      I'm not confident of anything without Maddison, but I live in hope despite having 2 x CHE defenders

    4. Siva Mohan

      in 2 hours .. it will be twice in seven

    Bailey -> Dasilva looking on

  14. Milk, 1 Šuker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Doesn’t the weakness of Man City’s bench only heighten the prospect of Haaland starting in midweek? Also Gundo surely will start against Forest?

    1. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      City a weak bench?

      1. @persecuted_by_mods
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Compared to a usual city bench these last few years? Definitely

    2. Yome
      • 14 Years

      Do you know a guy called Alvarez?

  15. IN SANE IN DE BRUYNE
    • 9 Years

    Gundogan benched, sigh..

    early thoughts.
    Gundo -> Rodrigo?

    1. Siva Mohan
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Noooooo

    2. Drip Doctor
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Gundo obviously starts the next game.

    3. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years

      Do it now

    4. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Did you think he would never be benched? lol. If you have a City player you don't get rid when they get an inevitable benching. Either do it before it happens or just hold throughout

  16. Total Slotball
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Nottingham Forest signing left wing back Renan Lodi from Atletico Madrid. Wild

    1. Hy liverpool
      • 12 Years

      What about ruben neves to Liverpool are you still sure?

      1. Total Slotball
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Wolves already found his replacement

    2. Siva Mohan
      • 13 Years

      17th signing of the summer?

    3. Call Me Old Fashioned

      What the actual f***

    4. Sun Jihai

      Incredible transfer window for the fans
      It’s like football manager almost!

      EPL is the Super League!

    How has Malacia looked? One of my rivals has him annoyingly

    1. Siva Mohan
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      6/10 .. lucky to get a CS every week

    2. Lingard’s Shin Guards
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      strong defensively, but in terms of fpl doesnt offer much offensively

      his spot to lose rn imo

  18. The Philosopher
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    If City are cruising, they'll hook off their stars and they may start midweek as well.
    If the game gets a bit tough, they may play a bit longer and may not start midweek.
    That's whats gonna happen imo.

    1. F_Ivanovic
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Amazing insight.

  19. Dat Guy Welbz

      1. Piggs Boson

        Between him and Tammy imo.

      2. Dat Guy Welbz
        • 5 Years

        Nah I’d rather stay at home and sh@g the missus than have to abstain for a month.

    2. ooga booga

      Hope your right. Due a haul

  20. Herger
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 11 months ago

    Be very careful about signing up for subscription to this site - Not only will they take your money after you cancel the subscription but they also won’t respond to any communications about it.

    1. Herger
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Tried doing this the nice way but goven their lack of response I don’t really have any choice

      1. Old Man
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        How do you know that they haven't cancelled your subscription? Presumably you've already paid for this season so a cancellation would run from 2023 onwards .....

        1. Herger
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          It runs from a specific date rather than the season. Though in fairness I don’t - After all the stories on here though I think it’s reasonable they give some sort of assurance it’s cancelled when I seek it isn’t it?

          1. @persecuted_by_mods
            3 years, 11 months ago

            You think that's bad mate, I keep getting banned by some mods gone rogue. They said the community manager would be in touch but nobody ever was!

            1. Herger
              • 4 Years
              3 years, 11 months ago

              😆 this is pretty much the reason I’m trying to get it cancelled. They can’t expect me to keep paying them when they seem to have some bizarre vendetta against me

              1. @persecuted_by_mods
                3 years, 11 months ago

                It's the reason I didn't sign up mate, I was a member for years but I can't support this site the way it's going these days and the persecution from some overly zealous mods was the final straw

              2. The Mentaculus
                • 5 Years
                3 years, 11 months ago

                Baffled & even a bit annoyed at how you 2 keep getting banned for goofing around. The site is a lot more fun with you. If any mods are reading please lay off, its so overzealous

                1. Herger
                  • 4 Years
                  3 years, 11 months ago

                  Thanks mate - really appreciate that. I’ve acknowledged that I’ve overstepped the line on occassion (the copy paste stuff went too far) but it seems to have become a bit personal - was banned for saying ‘woah’ yesterday - they even said as much 😆

          2. Old Man
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 15 Years
            3 years, 11 months ago

            Yes, you are entitled and should indeed expect some kind of confirmation, but these parts of systems are often the areas left until the end - they are not making any money for them. Good luck!

            1. Herger
              • 4 Years
              3 years, 11 months ago

              Thanks mate. I hate having to do this given the amount of enjoyment I’ve had from the site over the years

    2. The Philosopher
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      I don't understand people paying money to sites for a free game. Just use the eye test and a limited amount of free data which should be enough imo. I'm sure the money paid helps, but can't see myself going that far for a free game.

      1. Herger
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        I agree - I never actually use the members area - it was more a token of appreciation for the amount of time I spent using the site in the past. Makes it worse really

      2. Scots Gooner
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        I rarely use the data/members area anymore, but visit the site/these comment areas daily.

        Don’t grudge my £15 a year or whatever it is the keep the site running.

        1. Herger
          • 4 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          Yeah I never have in the past either.

      3. TheSteel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Its almost as if people do things differently than the exact way you do them.

      4. Ron_Swanson
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        A lot of people have decent money on it

    3. The Philosopher
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Also, hope your issue gets solved soon mate.

      1. Herger
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks mate

    4. Tomerick
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      If they’ve taken a recurring card payment after you’ve tried to cancel and they’re not engaging, you are entitled to go to the bank and claim it back. In the UK at least.

      1. Herger
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Thank you mate - in fairness to them they’ve not taken the payment yet but I’ve seen all the stories on here about people who have had their money taken after cancelling and now I’m getting no response (they’ve not failed to respond to any of my communications on anything else). I’ll likely just contact my bank before the due date but FFS could’ve made it easier

        1. Tomerick
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          I worries. Depending how it’s set up (I believe it’ll be a Continuous Authority Transaction) you can notify the bank in advance and if they try to take it afterwards the bank will automatically refund you and pursue them.

          1. Herger
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 11 months ago

            Legend, thank you - I’ll do exactly that. I urge anyone in the same position to do the same

    5. Mambino
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      you should be able to see the direct debit on your banking app and cancel it. Don't know what you can do about this season though. I personally like watching the members videos and don't mind paying anyway but I get your point

      1. Herger
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 11 months ago

        Thanks mate - did try but have never been able to see this one - there’s other regular ones that I can’t also see

        1. Mambino
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 11 months ago

          give your bank a ring then mate - it's bit strange you can't see the DD. You'll probably be on hold for about a year but it's worth it if it's bugging you

          1. Herger
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 11 months ago

            Great, thank you - it’ll be worth it haha

  21. Garlana

    Hoping for a 0-0 in a game that's more than likely to be a goalfest isn't a great start to the gw for me. Chelsea Vs Leicester

    1. @persecuted_by_mods

      That's one way to enjoy football

      1. Royal5

        True. Just hope Foden will stop ignoring him.

      It doesn't strike me as 0-0 fixture I'm afraid

      That bench is weak

    Doesn't sound good for Liverpool.

    "Alisson appears to have left the warm-up early, walking straight down the tunnel"

      Probably seen that Bournemouth lineup and gone for a nap

    Can I just share something?

    Avoid City assets. Gundo the player I was willing to take a hit for LOL

      I think one or two attackers is ok with a solid bench, given their potential

    2. Tomerick
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 11 months ago

      Haaland and KDB are the only remotely bankable attackers and even they aren’t 100%

    Looking at the LFC team and wonder if there's a change in shape. Fab-Hendo base. Salah up front potentially

        I don't think Henderson is entirely comfortable left midfield.

    last PL manager to win at Anfield .. Parker!
