GW15 Chip Poll

Captain Sensible

Who is the best captain for FPL Gameweek 4?

12 September 2025 432 comments

FFScout Tom

In Gameweek 3, FPL managers who targeted the fixture and captained Bruno Fernandes (£9.0m) were rewarded thanks to a stoppage-time penalty and a couple of useful defensive contribution points.

The ever-popular Mohamed Salah (£14.5m) struggled against Arsenal and recorded his first blank of the season, while the most-captained player in the game, Erling Haaland (£14.1m), scored once again against Brighton.

Attention now turns to Gameweek 4 and whether there is a case to look beyond Salah, who travels to Burnley, in a classic case of form versus fixture.

Captain Sensible is here to help!

First, we will assess the on-site captaincy poll. We will then analyse player and team statistics, Rate My Team (RMT) and the Premier Fantasy Tools ratings ahead of Saturday’s 11am BST deadline.

READ MORE: Introducing the FFScout Captaincy Matrix

Captaincy Poll

Among Fantasy Football Scout site users, Salah leads the way in the captaincy poll with just over a third of the vote. His questionable form isn’t putting off the masses.

Haaland sits in second place ahead of the Manchester derby, a fixture that he enjoys, having picked up nine attacking returns in five starts against the Red Devils. Viktor Gyokeres (£9.0m) rounds out the top three with 11% backing.

Elsewhere, Jean Philippe-Mateta (£7.5m), Antoine Semenyo (£7.4m) and, surprisingly, Jack Grealish (£6.7m) are the only other players with over 5% of the vote.

  Risked it for Frimpong. On WC shortly. Any luck he’s hooked early to bank the clean sheet.
  
  Also could see him abusing a newly promoted side.

Thoughts of this FH?

Pope
Munoz Calafiori Livramento
Xavi Semenyo Salah Gakpo
Gyokeres Mateta Ekitike

Bench a bunch of fodder.

Do we reckon Xavi starts? otherwise I could go Kudus and have a little extra to spread around but not sure it does much apart from upgrades a bench player. I'm also quite tempted to go Woltemade for Newcastle instead of Mateta. Newcastle have looked decent and I expect he will start as Howe doesnt really have anyone else with Wissa out.

  After much procrastinating; and news feed prostituting, Rich is number 1 this season regardless of fitness.
  Slight worries about the First class travel back from SA but reckon he should handle it.
  Bless!

Pretty sure I know the answer of this but could do with some reassurance…

Who is the best Cunha replacement?

Current midfield and attack…

Salah Gakpo Kudus KDH Cunha*
Watkins Wood Pedro

  Semenyo or Paqueta. Would give you some cash to upgrade Watkins or Gakpo if he starts getting rotated heavily (but I think he’s fairly safe for a while).

  Munoz if you plan to keep long term and aren’t wildcarding soon, but you’ve missed a price rise this week already.

  Too many players out to be sure of enough good chances. Anything can happen after international break but there are usually upsets. I’d save for a later.
