Gameweek 4 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) concludes this afternoon, with Nottingham Forest v Tottenham Hotspur getting underway at 16:30 BST.

Spurs are unchanged from their win over Wolverhampton Wanderers in Gameweek 3.

That means Ivan Perisic once again lines up at left wing-back, with Dejan Kulusevski, Son Heung-min and Harry Kane in attack.

Antonio Conte is without Cristian Romero and Oliver Skipp, plus Lucas Moura and Bryan Gil.

As for the hosts, Steve Cooper makes two changes to his starting XI, with Ryan Yates and new signing Morgan Gibbs-White replacing Orel Mangala – who is not in the squad – and Taiwo Awoniyi.

Elsewhere, budget midfielder Jack Colback returns for the first time since Gameweek 1 following an illness. Moussa Niakhate and Omar Richards, however, are long-term absentees.


GAMEWEEK 4 LINE-UPS

Nottingham Forest XI: Henderson, Worrall, Cook, McKenna, Williams, Yates, O’Brien, Toffolo, Gibbs-White, Lingard, Johnson

Subs: Hennessey, Biancone, Colback, Awoniyi, Surridge, Mighten, Kouyate, Freuler, Dennis

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris, Sanchez, Dier, Davies, Royal, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Perisic, Kulusevski, Son, Kane

Subs: Forster, Doherty, Richarlison, Sessegnon, Spence, Tanganga, Sarr, Lenglet, Bissouma

    I love that when the camera dips to a certain angle it looks like my TV is going into wide-screen mode from the shadow on the far stand

    Spurs on counter destroying this lot

  4. nerd_is_the_werd

    Monster hauls incoming for Spurs assets.
    This will be at least 3 goals for Spurs.

      B safer. Yet to see if Perisic is nailed once Europe matches begin

  7. DavvaMC
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Would you transfer out Cancelo to free up funs to strengthen midfield, keeper and also bring in James?

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Not before next week

  8. Zimo
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Haaland captain even from the bench will haul against this team. They aren't parking the bus at all. Leaving so much space to counter.

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      This is true

    2. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years

      They play different at home as opposed to away

    Zinchenko -> Sailba?

    Feel like my team has some decent fixtures next week, anything you'd change here? £1.6m in the bank 1FT.

    Sanchez
    Taa - Robbo - Cancelo - James
    Salah - Aaronson - Martinelli - Jensen
    Jesus - Haaland

    @ TM - LMS says league closed to new entries when I enter the code, but I’ve been above the safety scores each week so far

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Entry will be open at selected times once Gameweek 1 begins as admin for the competition is more time-consuming than it was previously.

      1. FPL Scoop
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Sorry just seen your reply on the last page fella my bad.

    2. Zimo
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      It only opens at specific times now

  12. CABAYE4
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Is there a CB in the 17 players Forest have signed?

    These 3 aren’t going to be good enough at this level.

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      One, and he's injured. They signed a dozen wingbacks and one centre back. It is an odd one.

      1. CABAYE4
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        They’ve bought some quality-looking players elsewhere but it’s such a critical position.

    2. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I was saying this earlier as well… a back 3 with Scott McKenna in it isn't gonna cut it - and I’m Scottish!

      1. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Yeah that’s a Championship player there.

      if only

      1. Scapegoat Salah
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Hehe

  14. Camzy
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    At this rate, I'm going to be buying Bailey back soon... as 4.4m fodder lol

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I’d be tempted at that price!

  15. windowview
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Best Man U player to choose for next Thurs game against Leicester?

    1. Andy_Social
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Anthony? Hasn't had a bad game yet.

    2. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Bruno but surely players from othet teams.

  16. Valar(Keith)
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Gibbs white hogging all of the set pieces.. just when i got excited about starting neco from gw 6 too

  17. Stimps
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Worth a hit?

    Cucurella, Bailey -> Gross, Perisic

    1. Mona Lisa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Will Perisic start midweek?

      1. Stimps
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        West Ham away, surely he will?

    2. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Where's the money coming from

      1. Stimps
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        1.7 itb

        1. Hazz
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 8 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          Well it's a clear upgrade but would maybe stick with Cucurella over Perisic this week.

          Rotation concern, Spurs don't look amazing so far.

  18. Miniboss
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Hello fellas. Which option to pick? 1ft, 1.5itb

    A) Patterson -> Perisic
    B) Bailey -> Groß

    Sanchez Ward
    TAA Cancelo Gabriel James Patterson*
    Salah Martinelli Diaz Andreas Bailey*
    Jesus Haaland Archer

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Tough one… I’d say B

      1. Miniboss
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Thank you sir

  19. FPL Scoop
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    A) Ramsdale Neto to Sanchez Harrison
    B) James Neto to Cucurella Rodrigo
    C) other

    Ramsdale (Ward)
    TAA Cancelo James (Trippier Neco)
    Salah Martinelli Diaz Neto DaSilva
    Haaland Jesus (Archer)

    Kinda want some Spurs but don’t see an obvious route other than selling Salah

    1. That TV angle at Highbury
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Tripper to Perisic if you Can find the funds

    2. gellinmagellan
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      A

    3. banskt
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I wouldn't bother having Spurs player at his point. Better players at every price point. Haaland better than Kane. KDB better than Son. Diaz better than Kulu. Trippier better than Perisic.

      But, if you really want, Diaz to Kulu, may be.

    4. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      One of the Liverpool midfielders has to go for Kulusevski. Tottenham seem to alternate between good and bad fixture in the next few weeks though, although they could score on any of them.

  20. pundit of punts
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Did Foden âž¡ Diaz this week

    Probably will do Martinelli âž¡ Foden next week specially for the Forest fixture

    Thoughts? 🙂

    1. FPL Scoop
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Not sure I’d wanna sell Martinelli so quickly tbh - could see City rotation midweek too

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I think your boasting is nauseating

      1. pundit of punts
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 8 months ago

        Ignore my posts mate

        All you can see is boasting

        I am just asking for opinions S I'm seeing Forest being so open

        1. The Bandit
          • 15 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          The first line wasn’t necessary, why not just ask if Martinelli to Foden is a good move?

          1. Hazz
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 8 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Would say it's semi-necessary.

            Boast wasn't that bad or annoying, sometimes okay to be happy with picks.

            Semi-contextualises things as he's just just Foden but considering selling.

            Fine to discuss transfer strategy albeit the response will be a bit obvious.

            1. The Bandit
              • 15 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              I have nothing against a boast post, but he is relentless. Cundit

        2. George Sillett
          • 10 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          So why add in the Foden to Diaz brag in that case ?

          1. pundit of punts
            • 13 Years
            3 years, 8 months ago

            Coz I'll be wasting 2 FTs doing foden out and in

            Contexts are needed sometimes

            1. The Bandit
              • 15 Years
              3 years, 8 months ago

              ‘Wasting’ 🙄

        3. Pumpkinhead - I'm ITK …
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 8 months ago

          That's because all you do is brag You come across as a very needy dude. People don't wanna see it after having a bad gw. Get a grip lad

    3. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Villa arguably just as bad and Foden could be on the bench.

    4. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I have a feeling that Martinelli will be rotated for ESR, if not on Wednesday, definitely at the weekend.

  21. banskt
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Forest looks the better team. All over Spurs.

    1. sunzip14
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      I only care about Kane points, Forest can score 😀

  22. SpaceCoyote97
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Sanchez (Mendy)
    Cancelo, Saliba, TAA (James, Neco Williams)
    Rodrigo, Gross, Martinelli, De Bruyne (Dasilva)
    Jesus, Toney, Haaland

    Have one transfer this week, should I hold onto it for a double? Also, should I run James instead of someone for next week's games, or Mendy instead of Sanchez?

  23. meenabakery
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    My Harry-over-Haaland ship may be sinking, but it is going down fighting.

    1. sunzip14
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Same

    2. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Both is the answer!

  24. Gubby-Allen
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    A Perisic or Kulusevski goal or assist, or a Tottenham clean sheet and I top 100 points.

    1. Zenith UK
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      GL!

  25. Zenith UK
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Not sure how Emerson couldn't see Perisic then...

  26. El Libe
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    I ll have to say that i am not fan of Conte italian style of football. I dont like it at all. I much more prefer Spurs from Pochetino times

    1. Piggs Boson
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Italian Jose Mourinho

  27. One More Hit
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    What to do with Neto ahead of a match against Bournemouth?

    Looked lively, assisted the assist, then had an assist chalked off due to VAR.

    But have lost 0.2m already, Wolves have no goals in them and have 2FT to use

    Morgan Gibbs White?

  28. FPL Emu
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Who would you prefer selling Saka for? Planning the WC in GW9

    A) Gundogan (NFO)
    B) Zaha (BRE)
    C) Diaz (AVL)
    D) Eze (BRE), upgrade Archer to Mitrovic next

    1. FPL Emu
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Sorry, Diaz has NEW

    2. Mona Lisa
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      D

    3. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Do you have Martinelli?

    4. Matthew96
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      C for me although they're all good options

    5. Gubby-Allen
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Diaz has Newcastle.

    6. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 8 months ago

      Gundogan if you're brave. I think he has the highest ceiling this upcoming week. But Diaz is the safest bet.

  29. Khark
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 8 months ago

    Dias and Plange - Saliba and Mitrovic?

    The Notts Forrest fixture really putting me off losing city defender but properly want Mitrovic!

    This late flag madness has to end
