Perez, Bernardo and Deulofeu among the benched FPL assets in Gameweek 4

Six Premier League matches kick off at 15:00 BST today, with Manchester City v Brighton and Hove Albion among the games taking place this afternoon.

A number of key Fantasy Premier League assets have dropped to the bench, one of whom is Bernardo Silva: the Portugal international is replaced on the right flank by Riyad Mahrez for the second time this season.

Rodri ousts Ilkay Gundogan from central midfield in Pep Guardiola’s only other change.

Raheem Sterling, Sergio Aguero, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Kevin De Bruyne all start.

Graham Potter has had a bit of a reshuffle, with Solly March joining the front three and Bernardo coming in at left wing-back.

Adam Webster replaces Shane Duffy at centre-half, while there is another start for Leandro Trossard.

Fikayo Tomori makes his first start for Chelsea in place of Andreas Christensen, who drops to the bench.

That is Frank Lampard’s only change, with opposite number Chris Wilder also making only one alteration: Oli McBurnie in for David McGoldrick.

Ayoze Perez has paid the price for a sluggish start to the season as he drops to the bench for Leicester’s match with Bournemouth.

Ben Chilwell, Wilfred Ndidi, Harvey Barnes and Marc Albrighton are recalled as Christian Fuchs, Hamza Choudhury and Dennis Praet also make way.

Harry Wilson in for Charlie Daniels is Eddie Howe’s only change.

Javi Gracia has made three changes from the West Ham defeat and appears to be going with a wing-back system: Jose Holebas, the injured Etienne Capoue and Gerard Deulofeu make way, with Christian Kabasele, Daryl Janmaat and Roberto Pereyra taking their places.

Amid all the injury talk at Newcastle, there are only two changes: Christian Atsu and Jetro Willems in for the sidelined Allan Saint-Maximin and Matt Ritchie.

West Ham have named an unchanged side from their win against Watford, while Daniel Farke has made just one alteration from Gameweek 3: Christoph Zimmermann replacing the injured Grant Hanley at centre-back.

Dean Smith and Roy Hodgson have named unchanged teams from Gameweek 3 as Crystal Palace take on Aston Villa at Selhurst Park.

Chelsea XI: Kepa, Azpilicueta, Zouma, Tomori, Emerson, Jorginho, Kovacic, Pulisic, Barkley, Mount, Abraham.

Sheffield Utd XI: Henderson, Basham, Egan, O’Connell, Baldock, Freeman, Norwood, Lundstram, Stevens, McBurnie, Robinson.

      Isn't that the 60th minute?

      1. Zilla
        • 6 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Yes but should be full 60 mins,13 secs left.

        1. Epic Fail
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 13 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          I presumed 0-59 is 1 point, then 59.01 + = 2 points.

          Fair play.

  9. DA Minnion (Former great)
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Third captain fail in a row.

    1. Hazz
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      You captained Barkley?

    2. HurriKane
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Same Salah Kane Sterling.

  10. HurriKane
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    David Silva 4 assists in 2 .Is he nailed? Great value at 7.5m if so

    1. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      No. Rotation incoming imo with CL and cups starting soon

  12. Royal5
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Willian taking #10 is funny

  13. ZeBestee
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    How is that not a RED?

    1. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Which one?

      1. ZeBestee
        • 9 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Awful tackle by Tielemans on Wilson.

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Putting it in caps doesn't make it more RED

  14. Rolls-Royce
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Is Lanzini even playing?

    1. Podge
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Defending well

  15. Pukki Blinders
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    If Salah goes wild this week that'll make 4 consecutive weeks of incorrect captain choices between Salah and Sterling. From now on i'll just captain the one with the harder fixture seems to be the logic

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Or captain Aguero.

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Hopefully it's Manes' turn.

    4 years, 7 months ago

    30 mins for Kun to grab a Hattie

  18. goriuanx
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    At this point I'd take my players scoring own goals.

    Something happen please.

  19. MITHRRANDIRR
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Tielemans should be sent off. VAR useless.

    1. ZeBestee
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Useless indeed. Shocking.

  20. seewhyaxe
    • 7 Years

    Does Raz look like scoring?

    1. Peter Ouch
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      No

    2. Garlana
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Sadly no

    3. MITHRRANDIRR
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Nowhere near. It's all Kun.

  21. Hazz
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Both of Aguero's goals have been pure class.

    1. Epic Fail
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Couldn't care if they both went in off his arse 😎

    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Probably won't vs Man City too. Big fire sales.

  23. Sim Simma
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Should have captained Salah

  24. 1zverGGadeM
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Trossard is always looking sharp and treatfull, but still needs to work a lil bit more.
    Class is there. I'm gonna hold him it seems..

  25. Nightcrawler
    • 4 Years
