Gameweek 4’s Sunday Fantasy Premier League matches look set to be heavily effected by set pieces this weekend.

In the second part of our regular set piece match-ups article, we’ve noticed some more areas for exploitation and had a look at the underlying numbers behind Wolves’ goals so far to see if they are sustainable.

Fantasy Football Scout members can view the data both in the Members Area and in the article below, where we go into a bit more detail.

    Hazard, Mane*, Walcott, Lingard*, Mkhitaryan

    Agüero, Wilson, Zaha

    WC number two

    4.5 keeper/Hamer

    Alonso, Robertson, Mendy, Wan-B, Bennett

    Hazard, Salah*, Walcott, Mhki, Guendouzi*

      On my own WC so I feel your pain..!

      Patricio & Hennessy rotation (both 4.5) give 5 home games in 5 - I've gone for that pair myself.

      I'm looking at moving Robertson out, his funds are useful and fixtures for clean sheets in the next 5 look tough - I'd have kept him for sure if funds weren't needed elsewhere

      You could just do Richarlison to Pedro/Walcott like pretty much everyone else although saving your transfer is an appealing option.

      Personally feel like taking a hit with the lineup you have for this Gameweek is unnecessary.

        Cheers, think I've just about got away with price drops on Richarlison so far, didn't fancy any alternatives this week.

        You're probably right a hit is not necessary this week but Hazard and Alonso are really tempting me. :/

          I'm holding off on Alonso until next week, already have a solid starting XI and not willing to take the hit unneccessarily. Not confident of a Chelsea clean sheet and it's unlikely Alonso will cover the hit this week imo, it's definitely a risk considering everyone and their grandmother has transferred him in by now though.

    Hi guys, need advice on my WC here. Now it looks like this:
    Alison (Hammer)
    Alonso Mendy Bellerin bennett WanBissaka
    Hazard Mane Fraser Pereyra Mkhi
    Aguero Wilson Zaha

    I was wondering, is it maybe better to make Zaha, Mkhi -> OUT : Auba, some 4.5 mid

          On a WC, I guess it’s now much better to get Jimenez than Ings?

          Ings being a doubt...

          Annoyed about Jimenez’s history. Never scored much in a single season. He’s 27, why would it change now?

          Would prefer Ings but want him to start or not interested... feels like Hughes wont risk him. He has other options, as bad as they are.
