Gameweek 4 is nearly upon us and many FPL managers will be thinking about pulling the trigger on their Wildcard.

Smarkets is offering a number of markets again this week on some popular players who will no doubt be under consideration for many managers who are activating this chip.

With this in mind, Smarkets is offering betting opportunities on some new players. Michail Antonio, Taiwo Awoniyi and Mousa Diaby make their first appearances in their betting markets after all three players scored in Gameweek 3.

There is likely also to be interest in the markets on James Maddison and Raheem Sterling, both of whom are seeing a significant amount of inbound transfers. Chelsea in particular impressed against Luton and Sterling could be in line for another healthy return at home to Nottingham Forest. At the time of writing, you can get odds of 3.0 (2/1) on Sterling to get over 7.5 points, following on from his 19-point haul in the previous week.

Arsenal host Manchester United as managers weigh up whether to hold onto assets from both teams who have so far not quite lived up to expectations. In Smarkets’ head-to-head market, home advantage and penalty-taking duties contribute to Bukayo Saka being the favourite to score more points than Marcus Rashford. But with Arsenal looking shaky at the back, and the Red Devils additionally being strong on the counter-attack, Rashford might have the edge – a £10 bet on the United man would return £22.

    Increasing clamour for Arteta to start Gabriel against Man U. If you have him, start him or Baldock/Kabore?

    1. DF
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I'm benching for Baldock.
      I do envisage Gabriel ending up as a season keeper though!

      1. DannyDrinkVodka
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Clean sheet odds are the same for Arsenal and Sheffield United….i.e… very low - but Gabriel has the goal threat!

  2. kellamergh

    A) Mitoma to Maddison (free)
    B) Maddison & Gabriel to Maddison & Gvardiol (-4)

    Onana
    Chilwell Estupinan Colwill
    Mbeumo Mitoma Rashford Saka Foden
    Haaland N.Jackson

    Turner Pedro Gabriel Baldock

      Probably B.

    2. DannyDrinkVodka
      • 6 Years

      A

  3. FISSH

    rashford to sterling or save?

    1. DF
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Save

  4. La Roja
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    What to do with Jota?

    Keep or sell for Sterlo/Madders?

    1. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I'd sell for Sterling.

  5. CoracAld2831
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Martinelli/Rashford to?

    A: Maddison
    B: Mbeumo
    C: Sterling
    D: Someone else
    E: Keep

    1. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Martinelli to Maddison

  6. Tabasco
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Richarlison to Maddison? Was gonna hold until I saw the flag; not so sure now

    1. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      What flag?

      1. Tabasco
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Richarlison's got a 75% yellow flag

        1. Big Mike
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Ah, ok. I thought you meant Maddison.

          Panic over.

          1. Tabasco
            • 14 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Cheers geeza

            1. Big Mike
              • 3 Years
              2 years, 3 months ago

              I'd dump Richarlison then. Sonny will probably play up front instead.

  7. The Pep Revolution

    Having a really poor season and need advice please. What would you do with this team:

    Turner Pickford
    Gabriel Estupiñán Shaw Chilwell Baldock
    Odegaard Saka Mbeuma Rashford
    Luiz Dias
    Haaland Jackson J Pedro

    I'm thinking I should WC for GW5 but maybe I should play it now. What do you think? Thanks for any advice you give.

    1. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      How much money do you have and how many free transfers have you got?

      1. The Pep Revolution
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        I have two free transfers this week and 0 in the bank.

        1. Big Mike
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          Pickford > Flekken
          Shaw > Walker or Gvardiol

    2. Shultan
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Your attackers have good fixtures for this GW
      Even odeegard who I think is the weak link is playing against a poor defence. But if wanted to do attacking transfers I'd do maddison as you have Jackson

      Would also get rid of Shaw to city defender gvardiol/walker or GK transfer pickford>flekken maybe
      Don't WC this GW save it for break or later

  8. Big Mike
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Anyone considering a cheeky punt on Darwin?

    1. The Pep Revolution
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      It could work out well. Had a good game against Newcastle.

  9. Shultan
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Should I sell any of my midfielders this week?
    Want sterling/maddison

    A)Mitoma
    B)Mbeumo
    C)Saka
    D) Rashford
    E) Martinelli

    Originally thought Martinelli but with Varane & Shaw injured fancy arsenal to score a few

    Then thought Rashford but with him now playing on left & Arsenal not realy clicking thinking utd can score too. Plus I like utds fixture after the break

    1. Big Mike
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Of the five you listed I would sell Martinelli. Then it's a toss up between Sterling or Madders.

  10. Alan The Llama

    Amazing what a bit of controversy can do to hurry up a Champions League draw.

  11. Shultan
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Ooh Newcastle just got group F with PSG, dortmund & AC milan

    1. Skonto Rigga

      • 8 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      That's the spring schedule cleared, then

    2. Hairy Potter
      • 10 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Oof! At least there will be some big games. No pressure on Newcastle as the underdogs.

      1. Skonto Rigga
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah, usually (like in the League Cup!) I'd wish for the easiest route to the final. But quite obviously, we're not going to win the Champions League so we might as well mark the occasion with some memorable ties.

    3. Joey Jo-Jo Junior Shabadoo
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Gonna have to play the A team every single week in UCL.
      Rotation required, massively cooled on bringing any of them in.

      1. Skonto Rigga
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        More PL game-time for Jeff Hendrick

        1. Skonto Rigga
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 8 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          So every cloud...

      2. Shultan
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Yeah was thinking isak/trippier from GW5 but thinking they'll need to be saved for those CL games

      Three absolutely class away trips there. Good time to be a Geordie.

    If you thought the Norwegians were good at fpl, wait till you see the Indonesians....

  13. x.jim.x

    City will be playing their bench on Champions League nights then.

    1. norab
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member

      Cake walk

    2. Shultan
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      Yeah they can win all those matches with their B team

      Would be very happy if i was
      a Foden/Alvarez/Gvardiol owner

  14. Big Mike
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Would selling Onana for Flekken be a good idea? From gameweek 5, that is.

    1. Shultan
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 3 months ago

      I'd even do it for this GW if using an FT (not for hit)

      Cant see utd keeping CS without Shaw & Varane even at home

  15. Tabasco
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 3 months ago

    Newcastle can't rest anyone for those CL matches against PSG, Dortmund & Milan...
