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.

    Sterling and Mount disappoint. Chelsea concedes late aaaahhhh

      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Sorry stuff

  2. Top Lad Dakes.

    Anyone interested in Vardy/Tielemans now?

    Tielemans could be a shout at 4th mid if dropping Mount Ceballos or whoever. Harder to fit in Vardy with all the other premiums though.

    Thoughts on them going forward?

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

      Vardy is too expensive for me, would mean losing someone I'm not prepared to. Tammy however...

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

      No, got rid of Vardy on WC, so ofc he keeps delivering now 😛 But nah.

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

      I don't think people should drop Mount/Ceballos immediately after jumping on them. But people probably will.

    4. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Ceballos hasn't even played yet

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        I know. He was just another name that came to mind quickly. Not advocating for it, was using as a potential example.

  3. Rolls-Royce

    4 years, 7 months ago

    Kun (c) = 32
    rest of the team = 16

    Kun is life.

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

      Best -4 I’ve ever done. Bye bye Kane hello Kun. Why did I ever doubt you?

      1. hafakilo
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Same, best -4 ever, especially seen as I would have captained sterling

        1. hafakilo
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 10 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          unless Kane gets a hatrick tomorrow 🙁

          well played. about time you get something right

          1. La Roja
            • 12 Years

            Tell me about it

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

    What we have learnt today, stays don’t mean s***

    1. Freaki
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Stats*

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

      Because they aren't even close to significant at this point. Stats focus off a sample of 3 games is pretty lol worthy

  7. The Hoff
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Has anyone does worse transfers than C. Wilson/Robinson->Pukki/Mount?

    Missed out on two goals and one assist

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

      If Chris Wood scores, could be bad for me.

      Perez/Wood > Cantwell/Barnes

      I'd have started Perez & have Kelly 1sy on bench.

    2. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      That's so harsh. No-one would've said keeping Robinson for Chelsea away was a good idea.

  8. Hazz

    700k to 1.35m so far. Lovely...

    2. Eddie

      Wow, well done.

  11. Tsparkes10
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    What a result. 🙂 thought we were going to be outclassed and battered? Oof

    1. Eat my goal!
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Fair play, wasn’t expecting that

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

      Immediately thought of you when that equalizer went in! Great result. As I said earlier today, definitely have you lot as the best of the new bunch. Though, I do think you got a bit lucky today but I'm sure you'll take it 😉

      1. Tsparkes10
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Hahaha, not sure about luck. We battered them 2nd half and their goals were just as scrappy as ours. Deserved draw for sure

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

          Well let's just say 2 shots on target for 2 goals is great efficiency 🙂

    3. jia you
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Well done, great bottle to come back from two nil down in any game!

    4. Hairy Potter
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Nice one! I thought Chelsea would win, but always good to see the big boys given a bloody nose!

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

    first red arrow of the season probably. 🙁

  13. Eat my goal!
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Let’s have a massive 0-0 this evening

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Right?! Would love that.

      Baps for Trent Virg and Pope!

  14. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
    • 14 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Kun has just put up 27G 11A in his his last 36 appearances

    Not bad

    Still “only” 238 points in that spell though - not a criticism of the player by any stretch, more a criticism of the scoring system

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

      Agreed.

  15. The Royal Robin
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Tammy or Barnes to replace Wickham?

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

      Either

  16. jia you
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Pope & Barnes lets rip it up, cause a big upset and save my GW 🙂

    1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Pope pen save coming up

      BM this

      1. Top Lad Dakes.
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Yes yes yes would love that!!! Preferably not from Mo but anything works

        1. Eat my goal!
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 5 Years
          4 years, 7 months ago

          Milner comes on to take it second half

      2. jia you
        • 7 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        @feeling it!

    2. Amey
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Ha ha

  17. have you seen cyan
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    im essentially on a red arrow but only because of my bench wankery, Vardy & Wilson on bench for Martial & Reid 😀

    Let them enjoy it for one day (im nice like that)

  18. Corgz Dark side of the Loon
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Anyone know if Laporte injury was anything serious ??

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

      Looked serious.

    2. Traction Engine Foot
      • 6 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Stretchered off in agony, will be out for a while I'd say.

  19. Henning
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    How was Mount today?

    1. Tsparkes10
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Did nothing. 🙂

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

      Not fantastic. Struggled.

    3. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Made a good run for Tommy’s first goal but Pulisic didn’t spot it

      Decent chance a while after that

      He was out on the left whereas I think he excels more centrally... didn’t really watch second half as closely but when Willian came on I thought that might have helped him

    4. Henning
      • 9 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Thanx for the info.

  20. Naby K8a
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Sterling. Zero shots at home to Brighton. Awful player. Must sell now

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      people will

    2. All For One
      • 5 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Was terrible pissed at myself for captaining him, kept it on Mane but switched to play safe since my rival has Sterling but now he has Salah!

    3. BobbyV
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Sterling to Dilva

  21. _Gunner
    • 9 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Have to sell Zouma,

    Any suggestions for max 5.3 defender?

    Current backline: VVD Zinchenko Lundstram Soyoncu

  22. Colonel Shoe 肝池
    • 12 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    need pool to save my week

  23. All For One
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Who are you guys with Awb switching to?

    He is already gonna drop in price

    I'm thinking Man City double up with Otamendi, I already have Zinchenko.

    1. FDMS All Starz
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Go many city attacking players instead

      1. All For One
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Already have Sterling and Kdb, no Liverpool defence

    2. El Matador
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Rather double up in attack than defence

    3. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Did you buy him at 5.6m?

      1. All For One
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Bought him at 5.5

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

      I dropped Trent for him to get in KDB. Might get back Trent, lol.

      Losing Laporte may well hurt City defensively.

      1. All For One
        • 5 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        lol

  24. FDMS All Starz
    • 8 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    If Robbo loses his CS think it’s time to lose him for a 4.5 and upgrade Wickham to Haller/Tammy

    1. Colonel Shoe 肝池
      • 12 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      might do the same with vvd

  25. SoapAFC
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Sterling to robinson for -8?

    1. FDMS All Starz
      • 8 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Wait till after the IB injuries could happen

      1. SoapAFC
        • 4 Years
        4 years, 7 months ago

        Its sarcasm

  26. El Matador
    • 10 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Which Arsenal defender to get besides Luiz? AWB dropping in price tonight want to get rid.

    1. SoapAFC
      • 4 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Wouldnt go arsenal, otamendi maybe?

    2. @ocprodigy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Maitland-Niles if you want Arsenal.

  27. Miniboss
    • 5 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    Kane to punish sellers no wait

  28. RyanKent14
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 4 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    42 before baps with taa and salah to come, Sterling (c) and had Laporte unlucky this week

    1. Top Lad Dakes.
      • 7 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      42 points is great...

  29. Offside Trapattoni
    • 7 Years
    4 years, 7 months ago

    2 BAP for Haller, outstanding!

    1. Twisted Saltergater
      • 14 Years
      4 years, 7 months ago

      Feel relieved that he only scored one. Avoided selling Kane for him for a hit.

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

    1. Thought WC was a good idea
    2. Got a nearly identical team to the scout picks
    In hindsight that's two big fat red flags there.
