Watchlist

The FPL players on the Watchlist ahead of Gameweek 4

Back by popular demand, the Watchlist articles make a return to Fantasy Football Scout in 2021/22.

In this series, we pinpoint the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) players who are the stand-out medium-term targets based on fixtures, form and value.

Seven-time top 10k finisher and Scout regular Zophar will be taking the reins this season, producing a bi-weekly piece and discussing the rankings by position.

With the ‘template’ FPL team starting to splinter following the arrival of Romelu Lukaku and Cristiano Ronaldo, plus Wildcards aplenty activated, Gameweek 4 seems like the ideal time to revisit the Watchlist.

*Something to note below is the continued inclusion of the Brazil and Mexico players who may miss this weekend’s Premier League games as a result of their non-involvement with their countries over the international break. Should the proposed bans materialise, then their standing in our Watchlist will of course be affected – something that has influenced our decision to omit Emiliano Martinez, who will definitely be absent in Gameweek 4.

ABOUT THE WATCHLIST

Our reguarly updated Watchlist, which is visible on the sidebar, ranks players in each position for the month ahead – or rather, the next four Gameweeks.

This allows site users to get a longer-term view on recommended players beyond the weekly Scout Picks.

Players are selected according to factors such as FPL’s form rating*, club injuries, club morale, forthcoming fixtures and whether or not the player in question is likely to be a bargain in FPL.

The table displays the player name and club, along with the abbreviation for the factors that played a part in their ranking. A key for these factors can be found below the player in the table and looks like this:

Arrows before the name indicate whether a player as climbed or fallen in our reckoning since the previous update or if they are a new entry into the tables.

Please note that while we may generally only recommend one player from each club within a position, alternative assets at the same club can always be considered.

*points divided by a club’s matches played over the last 30 days

PL WATCHLIST: BEST GOALKEEPERS

Emiliano Martinez is the notable omission from the goalkeepers’ Watchlist. The Argentinian has been ruled out of Gameweek 4 due to quarantine regulations and there are still some doubts regarding his Gameweek 5 availability, as well. This problem could rear up during the next international break, too.

Robert Sanchez and Daniel Bachmann retain their top two spots but Hugo Lloris moves up to third. Spurs have been allowing a high volume of low-quality chances which is ideal for a goalkeeper’s FPL points potential. David Raya has been included for a similar reason, as Brentford have conceded just two big chances so far.

Jose Sa is one worth considering for Wildcarders and is a great ‘set and forget’ option with appealing fixtures lasting all the way through to Gameweek 14. Only Man City have allowed opponents fewer shots than Wolves over the opening three matches.

FPL WATCHLIST: BEST DEFENDERS

The league’s leading chance creator, Trent Alexander-Arnold, sits on top of the defender rankings. Luke Shaw’s appeal is enhanced with Cristiano Ronaldo an able aerial target for his crosses, as well as Manchester United having three home games in the next four. 

Wolves have a great run of fixtures all the way to late-November and Nelson Semedo is my preferred option from their defence. He’s been getting into good positions and I think he is more likely to hold his spot down in the side compared to Marcal on the opposite flank. 

Reece James is my Chelsea defensive asset of choice, despite his suspension in Gameweek 4. Ben Chilwell has yet to get any minutes this season and the right-back’s crosses are going to be key for Romelu Lukaku.

I was tempted to slot Ben White in the Watchlist but after Norwich the Gunners play Burnley, Spurs and Brighton, which I’m not too convinced about, so he and the rest of the Gunners defence are a bit of a wait and watch presently. 

FPL WATCHLIST: BEST MIDFIELDERS

Mohamed Salah retains his spot on top of the rankings, while Bruno Fernandes stays in second. The Portuguese’s appeal appears to be slightly diminished with Ronaldo’s signing but we still don’t know yet what sort of role he will be afforded, and I refuse to believe he will completely cease to be FPL-relevant. We are working on assumptions at the moment and I do believe Fernandes will still tick along with goals and assists. 

Ferran Torres is a big mover up the Watchlist after his haul against Arsenal. Pep Guardiola has lauded the Spaniard’s movement and intelligence in the box and said that he sees him as a striker now. Even though rotation is likely to bite, it is much more palatable at a budget price and the upside is massive.

With rumours suggesting that Roberto Firmino may miss a few matches, Diogo Jota is an extremely attractive short-term option. When he plays, he posts number similar to that of Salah and the Reds’ next three fixtures are extremely appealing.

Demarai Gray hasn’t recorded great underlying numbers but has passed the eye test and should retain his spot in the team in the short term for Everton’s good run. I was tempted to put Ismaila Sarr above him: the Senegalese has created eight chances and taken six shots in the box so far and has a great run of matches especially over the next four. If Watford score, he is very likely to be involved in some capacity.

FPL WATCHLIST: BEST FORWARDS

FPL’s top scorer, Michail Antonio, sits on top of the forwards’ Watchlist, ahead of the most-talked about Fantasy asset of the last fortnight, Cristiano Ronaldo. The veteran Portugal international has been training with the Man Utd team since Tuesday and there is a good chance of him starting against Newcastle. Three of his next four matches are at home and we have already seen the impact that fans are having this season. I like his next three fixtures more than Romelu Lukaku’s, so he comes in ahead of the Belgian in the premium pecking order.

There are some injury doubts around Dominic Calvert-Lewin at the time of writing but if passed fit, he is FPL gold with penalty-taking duties added to his locker. Rafael Benitez has clearly built the team with a game-plan to get as much service to the Englishman as possible. 

Raul Jimenez should arguably be higher given Wolves’ upcoming run of fixtures but I am just not fully convinced that the Mexican is back up to speed yet after his horrific injury last season. As mentioned in the introduction, there is also the lingering threat of a Gameweek 4 no-show.

Finally, Patrick Bamford should rise up the Watchlist after the fixture against Liverpool is out of the way.

    1) ings to DCL
    2) ings + bruno to ronaldo + Torres(-4)

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      2, what’s life without a little risk

    2. mcsteely
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Who do you think will score the most the next three matches, DCL or Ronaldo -4? Go with that one. I think DCL atm..

      1. Sid07
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yes I believe it's more about Torres vs jota
        Can't get jota since I have Tsimikas, need to figure out a way. So DCL seems a safe bet this week

        1. mcsteely
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          I have the same dilemma, except that I've already got Jota and a FT so could get Ronaldo for free with your proposed moves, but I'm leaning towards Ings to DCL instead and saving a transfer. What do you think to that?

          1. Sid07
            • 9 Years
            2 years, 6 months ago

            I would get ronaldo if I could

    3. KING KOUNDER
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Get Ronaldo if you're gonna give him the armband.

    “Good morning” said the potato

    1. The Mighty Hippo
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      You're sounding very chipper this morning.

      1. Steve The Spud
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Good days and bad days, today is a good one!

  3. Ranger3
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Reguilon should be high in that list

    1. BENOIT
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I'm not that convinced by their fixtures

      1. Ranger3
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        They look really solid, and he is the best option in Spurs defence, so he should be in the watchlist, not Dier.. 3 Clean Sheets and 4 BPS already, he should be high in the list

  4. CapK
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    WC team,

    Sanchez
    TAA / Semado / Coady
    Salah / Jota / Traore / Torres
    Antonio / Ron(c) / DCL

    Steele / allan / livra/ Williams

    Torres or Traore become Raph next week
    Roll 2 transfers - Ron > kaku & Coady R.James from gw7

    Unsure if I should downgrade Torres to raph & upgrade Coady to Shaw now. Thanks!

    1. mcsteely
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      2 wolves defence seems a bit much. Any interest in Ben White or Tierney?

      1. CapK
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Tieney for Semado…. I actually like that

        Still enough ITB to do traore > raph GW5 too.

        Thanks dude!

    2. Ian Davis
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Very similar to mine, I was set on having Raphinha as well.

      Agree with the other comment, not sure about 2 Wolves defenders. A lot might depend on whether DCL is passed fit as well.

      1. CapK
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Totally agree

        I think Traore is a good place holder as long as you have 0.5M ITB to swap to Raph GW5

        If DCL isnt fit, its a hard one to replace - Jimi banned, Bamford has Pool, but either way will downgrade DCL and use the cash to bolster tierney / coady

    Traore & Ronaldo

    For free transfers...

    These are the kind of things dreams are made of right?

    1. mcsteely
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Absolutely, unless you think Ronaldo won't start v Newcastle

    2. KING KOUNDER
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yesss

  7. BHA_Seagull
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Been toying with getting rid of Mahrez or rolling my FT
    Now Jesus is having to isolate surely this means he starts this gwk.
    Pep roulette odds in my favour?

    1. TheTinman
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Yeah I think keep

    2. THE SHEEP HUNTERS
      • 6 Years

      Jesus isolating... but he hasn't been anywhere!
      Gotta link?

      1. BHA_Seagull
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        14:1-13. After Jesus learned that his cousin John the Baptist had been beheaded, He went away by Himself

  11. Peter Ouch

    apart fro the brazilians, who elese is missing?
    Thanks

    1. Fozzyb34r
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Martinez, Buendia, Jiminez, D. Shanchez, i'm sure there are other but that's off the top of my head

      1. Whiskerz
        • 10 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Is this confirmed now?

        1. Fozzyb34r
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          I've not seen anything to say it's not

    2. zøphar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Jimenez and almiron, might be others but not sure

    3. Skonto Rigga
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Five definitely missing (Martinez, Buendia, Sanchez, Romero, Lo Celso)

      11 missing if the FIFA bans are imposed (eight Brazilians plus Almiron, Jimenez and Sierralta)

      https://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2021/09/08/raphinha-jesus-ederson-and-more-brazil-players-may-miss-fpl-gameweek-4/

  12. LikeItLoveIt

    I'd love to know how Bruno's stats for Portugal compare when he's played awith and without Ronaldo. Mainly shooting frequency and xg

  13. Louis99
    • 9 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Ings > Ronaldo for a -4 ? Even though he may not start? (already made one FT to free up the funds)

    If it's useful, I had a dream (nightmare?) that I didn't do this transfer then Ronaldo got a 23-point haul...

    1. mcsteely
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      follow your dreams my friend. If that's not a sign I don't know what is

    2. Iceball
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Do it, you gain 19 points

      1. Iceball
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 9 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Or 17 since Ings will get 2 points

  14. Baines on Toast...
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Is Allan potentially banned? Quite a nice sub for Raphinha if not.

    1. Skonto Rigga
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Nope, wasn't called up so won't face the possible FIFA ban. Brazil seem to like Everton anyway...

      1. KING KOUNDER
        • 13 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Like Everton ? Why is that ?

        1. diesel001

    baring any bad news from pressers i'll hold my WC, g2g?

    Feels like some tough decisions to be made out there this week- good luck

    Sanchez
    Coady Trent Shaw
    Mbeumo Sarr Bruno Salah BennyR
    Antonio Lukaku(c)

    Gunn Webster Livramento Scarlett

    Planning to downgrade bruno and upgrade eslewhere next GW and beyond, Scarlett to Jim/DCL, Webster to Dias or Mbeumo to any other mid are on my mind

  16. Monster Muppets
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Sanchez (dead)
    TAA - Shaw - Duffy - White - (Tsimikas)
    Salah - Greenwood - Bowen - Allan - (Harrison)
    Antonion - Ronaldo (C) - (Ings)

    0FT left.

    debating a bit (not using WC till gw7-8 depending on what happens):

    a) Play like above
    b) Sub Allan for 1) Harrison or 2) Ings
    c) Get in jimenez for ings -4 (only if he is not banned from playing)
    d) Other, please suggest

    1. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      playing allan over Ings is crazy

      1. Monster Muppets
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        is it?
        Ings facing Chelsea defence
        Allan with a "safe" 3 points

        I do agree it's not clear cut, thus the option, but it's not that farfetched that allan will outscoure him given the fixtures

        1. Haa-lala-land
          • 3 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Last season iirc Villa got one over Chelsea in their final meeting, 2-1 or 2-2 which surprised everyone. And didn't Harrison score against Liverpool in last seasons opener?
          I think I'd play Harrison over Allan and Ings

        2. Tony Moon
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Ridiculous. Ings is a "safe" 2 points, so you're gambling with a safe 1 extra point, whereas Ings could easily grab a goal.

  17. Weeb Kakashi
    • 8 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    WC if Son is out? FT already used

    Sanchez
    TAA Reguilon White
    Salah Bruno Son Trincao Benrahma
    Antonio Toney

    Marcal

    1. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      if son misses a week i'd still hold WC with wolves defender as first sub. The rest of the team is good, no need to WC to cover one injury

    2. Hotdogs for Tea
      • 8 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      is Son really at risk ? was it a ‘go home early’ injury ?

  18. afsr
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    RMWCTpls:

    Sanchez
    Matip, Shaw, Saiss
    Salah, Jota, Traore, Gray
    Ronaldo, Antonio, Lukaku

    Steele, Allan, Livra, Duffy
    0.1 ITB

    Could change Jota and Gray for Torres and Benrahma

    1. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      prob as good as it gets for a 3 premium team, personally i'd downgrade lukaku to upgrade matip to trent. I'd also want a chels def on WC.

    2. mcsteely
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Having Trent is more important than the third premium IMO

      1. dbeck
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        i completely agree with the statement

      2. afsr
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        A version with Trent would look like this:

        Sanchez
        TAA, Shaw, Marcal
        Salah, Sarr, Traore, Gray
        Ronaldo, Antonio, Lukaku

        Steele, Allan, Livra, Williams
        -0.2 ITB

        I'm 0.2 short of getting Sarr, which could be helped by price rises in the remaining 2 nights before the GW

  19. CheesyZoot
    • 4 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    If Raph is out for a week who is the best 1 week punt, 6.5 budget... Have Benrahma

    1. dbeck
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      you wildcarding after this GW?

      1. CheesyZoot

        Already activated this week

    2. Tempestic

    4. C-Dawgg
      • 9 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Stick Benrahma with, Southampton are very poor.

      1. Tempestic
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        he needs someone else as well as benny

        1. C-Dawgg
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Oh I seeee...

          Gray.

    5. Lukakuna
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I like the look of Sarr this GW

  20. Boz
    • 11 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Toney > DCL (-4)

    Or wait until next week

    1. drughi
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      if dcl is confirmed fit I think its worth it

    2. klopptimusprime
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      wait till the deadline but pretty confident he'll feature. Back the move

      1. Boz
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Will wait for the presser. Cheers!

  21. EL tridente
    • 6 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Should I WC this team? The original plan was to do Ings to DCL, but now I could be without 3 midfielders...

    Sanchez (Steele)
    Trent, White, Tanganga, (Aylin), (Omobamidele)
    Salah, Son*, Bruno, Raphina*, Smith-Row*
    Antonio, Ings, (Perica)

  22. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
    • 3 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Wilson & Son to Ronaldo and the best 5m fodder??

    1. drughi
      • 14 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      is son confirmed out ?

      1. DBW - Slug's Mortgage …
        • 3 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        well it's an early KO and he's got an "injury"

        1. drughi
          • 14 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          yeah to bad, had high expectations for him against palace

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Just go Allan at 4.5

  23. drughi
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Bruno, Raphinha(if he is out) and toney > Greenwood, Gray and Ronaldo (C) -4 ? good moves or terrible ?

    1. klopptimusprime
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      try to hold Raph if you have bench cover

      1. klopptimusprime
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        can do the move for 2FTs

      2. drughi
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        yesh would like to keep raphinha but bench is gilmour tsimikas and obafemi so it kind of forces my hand

        1. klopptimusprime
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Gilmour + 4 vs Greenwood is closer than one might think

          Also rather Raph over Greeny GW5 onwards

  24. klopptimusprime
    • 7 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Son, Raph, DCL risks, might do Son > Jota/Sarr otherwise let the good times roll

    1. KING KOUNDER
      • 13 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Is DCL really at risk?

      1. The Tinkerman
        • 8 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        He has a broken toe and a thigh injury. I guess the rest has done him good though, wait for the presser. Has been playing with broken toe so far this season.

  25. KING KOUNDER
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Would you do Ings to DCL for a hit?

    1. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Think i will

  26. Catastrophe
    • 13 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    A) DCL, Gray, Coady (Sissoko, Williams)
    B) Raphinha*, Traore, Semedo (Dennis, Ayling)

    *will be Benrahma this week

    Cheers

    Would love to see dozens of PL players not able to play in GW4 due to Covid restrictions (quarantine or banning by national associations). Chaos is good for FPL.

    1. Steve The Spud
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I don’t think ‘dozens’ will be the case, looks like Raph is the main one that people own

      It would be quite funny if the Egyptian fa banned salah though

      1. diesel001
        • 7 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Quarantine would be the ideal one. Where the players have not been double vaccinated and have travelled to amber list countries.

      2. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Not just him. The Brazilians, Argies, Mexicans, Colombians.

  28. Viper
    • 14 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Which move looks best? 2Fts

    A. Bruno & Wilson -> Jota & Ronaldo

    B. Wilson & Ings -> Jimenez & DCL (Bruno C)

    1. Gazza2000
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 12 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      A looks nice

    2. Lukakuna
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Don't trust Jimi yet so A.

      I have the same players but on 1FT, so might go Wilson > DCL and keep Ings for his blank this week

      1. Big dog
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        I had same issue and did A. Might do ings > bamford week after

    3. No Salah
      • 6 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      I transferred in Jimi

      It Feels like he is due.

      1. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        You did that before we know if he's allowed to play? Mmkay.

      2. Harry the Hack
        • 14 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        'he is due'. That is the very definition of the gambler's fallacy. Under that logic, you should trade out Antonio as he is due to not return.
        Not that I think he is a bad pick (if he plays!) But terrible logic

  29. Gazza2000
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 12 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Thoughts on ESR (if fit)?

    Was thinking Perica and Bruno out for Ronaldo and ESR for -4.
    Will still have Barnes but will deal with him next week

    1.4 ITB and 1 FT

    Sanchez
    TAA Shaw Webster
    Salah Bruno Barnes Raphinha Benrahma
    DCL Antonio

    Steele Ayling Tsimikas Perica

    1. ElChapo
      • 5 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      raphina's definitely out this week isn't he?

      1. Gazza2000
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Yeah but with the moves I'm planning ESR will come in.

      2. Andy_Social
        • 11 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        Nothing is definite at this moment. Nothing.

        1. Lukakuna
          • 7 Years
          2 years, 6 months ago

          Except that I exist

  30. ElChapo
    • 5 Years
    2 years, 6 months ago

    Sanchez
    TAA-Shaw-Veltman-Tsim
    Harrison-Bruno-Benrahma-Salah
    DCL-Antonio

    Steele-Ings-Amartey-Gilmour

    Just FT Tsim > Tierney/Dier/Semedo this week.

    Any thoughts?

    1. Lukakuna
      • 7 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Playing Veltman over Ings? Interesting...

      Heard rumours Tsimi might start

      1. ElChapo
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 6 months ago

        yes i'm starting Veltman over Ings, what are you doing?

    2. Haa-lala-land
      • 3 Years
      2 years, 6 months ago

      Don't fall for the Tierney trap. The Arsenal Norwich game really looks like it could go either way.
      Brentford defenders are being overlooked, if you're looking for under 5.0.
