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.

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

      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      So VAR will give it to him?

    3. Carlton_Goal
      • 8 Years

      Yet another clear penalty VAR has failed to pick up this season

    4. Critical Observer

      Win some lose some... He should have seen a yellow or worse mere seconds before his goal.

    Mason's 8 minutes and Laporte's 36 minutes cost me Kelly's 6(+) points...
    I knew we (WHU) would get our first clean against Pukki and co...
    I knew Sterling would troll me for a second week running after captaining Salah for the first two...

  6. teddypicker

    Think Sterling was fed up with everyone tweeting at him this week telling him to score a hat trick

    1. Alan Watts
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Yeah the pressure must have got to him....

  7. Yank Revolution

    Mount volley wide

  8. tiger

    I'm expecting Salah to haul because every week I have picked captaincy between Salah and Sterling, the other one has done better.

    Sterling hasn't even registered a shot on goal today. Disgraceful

  21. COLLIN QUANER

    SUPER LAMPS

  22. NeverLucky
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    That's the luck of this game to be fair..

    Had Kane (C) last week, took him out for Aguero (C) this week.

    Could easily have C Sterling and now huge difference (so far) in green arrow.

    Does that choice make me a supreme manager or just lucky? Game is annoying as hell sometimes!
