Which ‘fourth midfielder’ options have impressed so far this season?

669 Comments
Share

A cost-effective fourth midfielder that can rival the premium options for points potential is often the key that unlocks a perfect Fantasy Premier League team.

Managers across the world will be searching for the best candidates for this position over the international break, especially those on a Wildcard.

In order to find them, we have compared a handful of midfielders priced at £6.5m or below to see how they got on in the first four Gameweeks.

The key is to find which of them is offering sustainable output from Gameweek 5 onwards which means analysing their underlying statistics.

As this article uses data from the Fantasy Football Scout Members Area, only those who have signed up for the 2019/20 season can access it in full.

Who carries the best goal threat?

Lessons learned from Gameweek 4

      Looks good. If you had Sterling prior to Wildcard, I would keep him instead of Salah though and double up on Pool defence instead

    3. bench boost for every gamew…
      • 7 Years

      Seems nice. Don´t particularly like that double 4m defenders on bench as they can get you minus points if one of your big guns don´t play. And SHU awful fixtures and Hanley is norwich, that´s a no go. Also, Everton have fine fixtures but i would want a back up in GW7 for Digne, and points difference between TAA and VVD is 3, so imo VVD is as good as TAA, in the sense you get one 4.5 defender who you actually can play from time to time

      Jeez guys, give him a break, he's not saying he's Messi.

      I played at a decent-ish level regionally when I was younger, went to a few trials, but I'm now limited to 5 a side every Wednesday. My son is 6 tho and is training once a week with a local club, he loves defending which is nice and a bit of a rarity these days.

          I'd consider taking out Mount ahead of Wolves and Liverpool. Look to get him in GW7. If you want someone around the same price point, Trossard could do well. I'd also consider taking out Pukki - City, Burnley and Palace's defences have impressed so far, think there could be more value in Barnes over the next three.

              I don't know mate. Go have a look at Pukki's fixtures. Cannot tell me he ain't going to score goals in any of those fixtures but you have to go with your gut.

              I am sticking with Pukki...

    Obviously there is an injury cloud, but Martial at 7.5 OOP striker for United with 8.6% ownership (less once break is over) could be such an amazing differential. His points per minute over the last few seasons rivals that of the best in the game

        Is anyone else considering bringing in an Arsenal defender? On paper their fixtures look very appealing, they only play 1 of the top 6 in their next 11 fixtures, although it's a risk it could well pay off. Thinking of Sokratis or AMN although Bellerin will come back into the equation soon. I'm looking for a AWB replacement myself.

          Leno looks good value, cam’t Touch the defenders yet as you say bellerin is back soon but AMN would have been perfect. If Luiz starts getting the role he had for Sarri then his pings over the top for Auba and Pepe would mean lots of assists but want to see their defence shape up before spending that much. Leno should be great with the fixtures

          If I was on a wildcard, I wouldn't double on Liverpool's defence, Trent is enough. Love the Otamendi, Pepe and Trossard picks, not so keen on James, and I'd probably upgrade him by removing Robertson, but that's just me. Good luck.

Any extra cash will be used to get salah in over Aguero/Sterling should I change my mind again.

            Emery hasn’r Subbed Pepe off early yet, and it’s because his alternative wingers are dog poo. On all set pieces and taking shots for fun getting in great positions he is a no brainer for me. But yeah the problem is missing out on KDB but I am okay with that as I have Ota sterling and Aguero. I did try and go down the 4 premium route with Sterling Salah, KDB and Pepe but there were just too many dodgy players in there
