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.

  11. Weasel Boy

    I should have ****en WC'd

    1. Botman and Robben
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Think so too. But will do it during this IB.

  12. HuttonDressedasLahm

    Palace got lucky

  13. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 13 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Should have capped Salah

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      This could well be true....even Kane can beat 6 surely?

  14. tucaoneo
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Blatant robbery in Palace vs Villa game. VAR just let Kevin Friend have his way.

    1. Albrightondknight
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Disgraceful. How that gets disallowed I dont know.

    2. Greasy Grealish Gang
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Didn't they use VAR? That was a foul on Grealish, not the other way around. Very poor call.

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

    TM and Granville tripled up on Kun KDB and Sterling.

    Granville with cherrie on the cake with Aguero(C). well done

    1. Nabs Kebabs
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      did the same 😎

    2. Royal5
      • 12 Years

      Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while.

    3. Yankee Toffee
      • 9 Years

      as did others m8...

  16. TheSteel

    King>Haller? He the real deal?

    1. Yank Revolution
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      He is

      1. TheSteel
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Ty

    2. F4L
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      nah. got lucky with his goal today, and he spends too much time outside the box

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

        Did he get lucky with his brace last week too?

    3. Bobby Digital
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Haller was hiding most of the time.. took the goal nicely though. I'd like to know how Tammy did apart from his goals.

  17. Brosstan
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    How did Laporte injury look?

    1. TheSteel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Not good. Likely a torn meniscus

    2. Goat
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Possible cruciate

    3. Camzy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 13 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Bad. Stretchered off. Could be a twisted knee or worse. If it's worse he could be out for months.

    4. SoShy
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Serious

    5. Brosstan
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Otamendi pure value then. Always a threat on set pieces

    6. juho
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      pundits think it's his ACL

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

        ACL from a collision?

  18. SoShy
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    29.. 6 to go.. Salah masterclass would be soooo ideal

  19. Botman and Robben
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Thank you Captain Sterling for the abundant 6 points.

    13 from 6 - Good luck beating that one

    1. g40steve
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      13 from 5 you win.

      1. g40steve
        • 6 Years

        C Raheem fail included.

  21. SkeletONv01
    • 6 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Bit of a C fail :/ Pukki, why. Well, at least i tried, feel more happy with it then if i would go like all the "stats" and safe choice, meaning Sterling 😛 Its "just a game"(dont bash me pls :P)

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

      Don't worry, Sterling the big danger and he blanked too.

  22. jason_ni
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    I am easily the worst person in the world to choose between capt sterling or salah since gw1.... unless salah gets sent off or something later.

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

      So are 90% of people

  23. Reeker
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Should of captained Aguero in hindsight. But I almost didn't get him in so I should be grateful. Diop coming on for Perez is magic though.

  24. lilmessipran
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Don't own any villa player but why tf was that goal ruled out?

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

      They're saying Grealish dived.

    2. Greasy Grealish Gang
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Poor call, match destroyed.

  25. Ninja Škrtel
