Instead of using Gameweek 4 transfers on whoever has just hauled, try buying the next trend. In ‘Goals Imminent’, we look at the underlying statistics to predict which players are about to score.

That way, Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers can be proactive rather than reactive.

Marc and Joe have a regular Fantasy Football Scout podcast that discusses these underachievers, using the latter’s popular data table.

    Think I'm settled and locked on this wildcard now, I'm not overly happy with the de cuyper pick, bar the attacking returns he could get this weekend after that I don't trust Brighton defensively, I have two free transfers saved so hoping to move him on shortly,

    Kinksy
    Calafiori, konsa, de cuyper
    Palmer, saka, gross, szoboszlai
    Wissa, haaland, Pedro

    Bench, Forster, kdh, hall, ewijk

    1. Warby84
      • 11 Years

      Wissa to 4.5 and Gros to Gomez could upgrade another position;

      KDH to Odegaard or even Gakpo (dbl up)

    Really torn between Alex Scott, Marcus Tavernier, and Harvey Barnes just for this GW only. Who's the better option here?!

    1. Warby84
      • 11 Years
      21 mins ago

      I was on a similar decision but decided with Gomez @ 5m, out of those I’d go Tavernier

      Tav - set pieces, pen share and decent open play goal threat

    3. Big Mike

      Do you already have Gross?

    Kinsky Gomez O'Shea Rodon

    A Foden to Odegaard

    Think I'll hold off investing in Newcastle assets despite their favourable fixtures. They were far from convincing last night.

    Probably make Shaw>Konsa my first transfer of the season, unless anything else crops up.

    1. Warby84
      • 11 Years
      7 mins ago

      The only asset to keep an eye on is Lewis Hall but not really interested in any attack

  10. El_Matador
    • 15 Years

    Fernandez-Pardo looks good, will be worth a look, if his minutes increase and he gets starts

  11. JT11fc
    • 7 Years

    Havertz to Isak? Would be a short term move, or target a Liverpool mid?

    1. Big Mike
      • 4 Years
      2 mins ago

      Yes, because then you can bring in another Arsenal attacker.

      1. JT11fc
        • 7 Years
        2 mins ago

        I already have Saka if that makes a difference?

    How’s the WC looking? Pretty set on this.. 0.4m in the bank.

    Raya
    Gvardiol - Calafiori - Hall
    Gakpo - Rogers - Palmer - Odegaard - Barnes
    Haaland - Pedro

    Verbruggen - Barry - Thomas - Egan

    1. JT11fc

      No issues there, not sure you need Verbruggen unless you have benchboost planned

      1. Kodap
        • 9 Years
        4 mins ago

        Not imminently planned, but I guess thinking about a future BB? What would you do with those funds.

      2. Kodap
        • 9 Years
        2 mins ago

        I mean, it could be Verbruggen > Dubravka and then upgrade one of the 4.0 defenders to a 4.5 such a Mitchell?

  13. Big Mike
    • 4 Years
    10 mins ago

    Tsolis or Odegaard?

    1. The Philosopher
      • 6 Years

      Odegaard. Have had him since GW1. Big season incoming from him.

    Good morning everyone!

    Are there any Coventry assets that were sleeping on? That was an impressive performance away to City at the weekend and their fixtures are taking a turn for the better.

    1. JT11fc

      I like Rudoni for the plum fixtures otherwise Thomas for me

    A. Palmer - Isak - KDH

    On wild card. Looking at the Chelsea team and their good fixtures. I do not like more than one attacker from team thats not tittle contender, so have to look at their deffense. Martinez is obvious choice, but I like to talk about their defenders.
    Some thoughts about Hato? Does he nailed enough for WC team and every week starter? What about him as Fantasy asset? Eye test is passed, I think.
