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.

      They couldn't even last more than ONE day after Mide's article to promote gambling again.

      And not a single response from anyone at FFS...

    I've got an OR of 64,002, and GW1 rank of 64,001. So someone who started in GW2 has more points that me. Keen to see this person's team.

    Can someone kindly post a link to the table for those who started in GW2?

      Sounds like they have used chips to make up ground. I've got 4 GW2ers ahead of me at 476k.

      https://fantasy.premierleague.com/leagues/277/standings/c

      Top GW2 starter is only at 170k according to that

      More concerned with my own rank than worrying over someone who comes in late & splats all their chips. This is not a 50m dash

    Is this stupid?

    Rashford and Mubama -> Maddison and Antonio for - 4

    Thank you!

    1. DavvaMC
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I would not make those moves.

  6. DV8R
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Is it worth using a FT to swap out Onana/Turner? Have money itb for any replacement

    1. AIRMILES
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I would say only if you've got 2 FTs and if you don't do the transfer then you'll lose an FT. Either that, or if it's your only FT and you plan on WCing next week.

      1. DV8R
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        I have 2 FT but one of them is being used to bring in Maddison and nah I'm happy with my team mostly so not WCing yet.

    2. Corona is not good 4 U
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Have the same and also not happy. Which player would you pick?

      1. DV8R
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 15 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Brought in Dias in last week and probably don't wanna spend too much on another City def. Maybe Flekken if I had to

      Pep will rotate hard. But if you happy with cover, go for it.

      1. AzzaroMax99
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 1 month ago

        Ok, so what would be your suggestion? Foden or Walker out?

          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 12 Years
          3 years, 1 month ago

          I like City's fixtures so I would keep them! But make sure you have subs ready to come in, in case they don't play.

      Okay, yes, good idea. From now on I won't post on any article about gambling.

        I do like this site and appreciate they want to make money from it. If there was enough users on here who just stayed posting on the previous article to the gambling ones you are still supporting the site but boycotting the gambling ones. Might force some change.

      Thanks for these

    2. DF

      United lads look good value. Surely there'll be goals for both sides at the Emirates?

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

        I'm thinking 2-2 or 3-2, but I've realised it's my default position for the Sunday afternoon game. Wishful thinking perhaps.

        Guess 2-1 is more likely.

    3. Corona is not good 4 U
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      But then Maddison has a couple of assists and this is better than one goal.

    4. Make FPL Casual Again
      • 8 Years

      Bowen ?

    5. C-Dawgg
      • 12 Years

      Rashford not even on the list… why is he in my team?

  12. Corona is not good 4 U
    • 6 Years

    Which is better?

    A) Maddison and Antonio
    B) Sterling and Awoniyi

    Thank you!

  13. Corona is not good 4 U

    What is wrong with this team?

    Onana, Turner
    Estupinan, Chilwell, Henry, Baldock, Kabore
    Salah, Rashford, Saka, Mitoma, Mbeumo
    Haaland, Wissa, Mubama

    Thank you!

    1. Mr. Eko
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Wonderfuuul team!!

      I would roll the tranfers if you have any and just upgrade bench when possible.

      Injury's can and will happen in the national break, so important with some FT's

  14. Najj
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Sterling Or Maddison??

    1. Corona is not good 4 U
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Probably Maddison.

  15. Corona is not good 4 U
    • 6 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Onana and Mitoma -> Leno and Sterling for - 4?

    Yes or No?

  16. King Huth
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Is sterling really injured per yesterday rumour of omission? Press conferences?

    1. That Was Easy!
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      No concrete evidence, seems highly unlikely to me.

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

      A Chelsea journo confirmed it was a rest, as seemed to be likely yesterday.

    Can I save my FT for this GW

    Pickford Turner

    Colwill Chilwell Estupinan Baldock Kabore

    Foden Saka Fernandes Martinelli Nakamba

    Haaland Wissa Jackson

    1FT 4.1 ITB

    Any ideas would be appreciated

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Defence needs work - particularly the keeper pairing

  19. FredUpAlready
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Jota and Mitoma to Foden and Maddison for -4?

  20. S.Kuqi
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Need cheapish 4th def. Max 4.7

    Any other option tha Udogie and Cash?

  21. NobodyF*cksWithTheJesus
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Best moves with this midfield and 0.9 itb? Only Saka is safe from the chop imo

    Saka Rashford Eze Mitoma Salah

    I'm thinking:

    A. Rash to Maddison
    B. Eze/Mitoma to Sterling

    Could do both but not sure it's worth a hit?

  22. thom830g
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Best replacement for Gabriel for maximum 4,8?
    Surely he will play when I transfer him out…

    1. thom830g
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      Have 5 ITB

  23. mcginnntonic
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Would you make any of these transfers?

    Martinelli -> Foden
    Watkins Anderson -> Foden Archer (-4)

    Tempted to hold onto Martinelli for the Everton game hence considering the hit to get Foden instead - thoughts?

  24. That Was Easy!
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Time to mull over Mitoma > Mbuemo or Maddison for the next 24 hours. It feels the entirety of FPL asking similar questions all the way up until the deadline.

  25. wotwot
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Sell one for Sterling
    A. Bruno
    B. Saka
    C. Foden
    D. Maddison
    E. Mbeumo
    F. Save FT

    1. Traction Engine Foot
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      F

    2. That Was Easy!
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      I would absolutely save your FT. Kudos to you for having that midfield already

  26. theshazly
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Choose one to start :

    A - Baldock ( EVE ) H
    B - Cash ( LIV ) A
    C - Botman ( BRI ) A

    1. The Offside Observer
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 1 month ago

      no great options, but would go with A.. Baldock to the rescue, when if not now

  27. CRAZY TRAIN
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 1 month ago

    Saudi’s offering Mo 1.5m per week! Surely that’s going to turn his head. As an owner I am very tempted to sell. Could retire on that…

  28. Alan The Llama

    Sevilla and Barca in Pot 1 with Real Madrid in Pot 2 is crazy.
