Goals + assists imminent! Who is ‘due’ in FPL Gameweek 4?

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.

GOALS IMMINENT

The first table shows players who’ve had at least seven shots over the first three Gameweeks, but no more than one goal.

    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

    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.

    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.

    Haaland versus no Haaland is really confusing me, Ive done fine without so far (besides my fh) but I habe to remember that Im nlt just looking at his score versus any other player but versus multiple upgrades in the team.
    In short I have to pick really good mid priced assets and nail captain each week...
