Gameweek 4 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) continues on Sunday with Aston Villa v West Ham United and Wolverhampton Wanderers v Newcastle United.

Both matches kick-off at 14:00 BST.

Aston Villa head coach Steven Gerrard recalls Philippe Coutinho, who was left out last week. His inclusion in a 4-3-1-2 formation means Leon Bailey, who is still owned by 8.6 per cent of managers, and Emiliano Buendia drop to the bench. Calum Chambers partners Ezri Konsa at the back, with Tyrone Mings not in the squad because of illness.

West Ham’s £30m forward Gianluca Scamacca makes his first Premier League start after scoring in successive European appearances, while there is also a debut for £4.0m defender Emerson Palmieri after his move from Chelsea. It looks like the latter will line up as a wing-back, too, boosting his appeal in FPL if he can nail down a starting role.

At Molineux, Raul Jimenez makes his first start of the season, having scored in the midweek EFL Cup win against Preston. Nelson Semedo is also handed a start at the expense of Rayan Ait-Nouri, who is a substitute alongside Daniel Podence.

Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe is without Bruno Guimaraes after he picked up an injury in midweek, while new signing Alexander Isak misses out as he is yet to receive his work permit. With Callum Wilson also out for several weeks with a hamstring injury, Chris Wood will lead the line, flanked by Miguel Almiron and Allan Saint-Maximin.

      I was too late signing up. Wondering if you are allowing new people sign up midway like previous years?

      1. TorresMagic™
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah, probably Thursday week is the next time. You can enter during the World Cup or even later.

    RP - Looking to upgrade double Leicester GKs.

    Not sure it's a silly question but who would you sell Ward 4.0m (current #1) or Iverson 3.9m (accept 0.1 loss) ?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      How important is the 0.1?
      Iversen probably as Ward had his best game (not saying much)

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I guess it may come in handy at some point of the season.

        1. TorresMagic™
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • Has Moderation Rights
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          You should WC before that.

    2. Alan The Llama
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I'd sell Iversen so long as he's Leicester's second choice. Wouldn't be surprised to see Ward lose his place at some point though.

      1. Tonyawesome69
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        That's my worry but TM said he played well

        1. Alan The Llama
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          That's not quite what he said, perhaps read it again.

          1. Tonyawesome69
            • 7 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            He had his "best game" suggests Ward keeps the spot for now

    3. Nomar
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Same issue here.

      I'm going to sell Iversen tonight with 1 of my 2 FT and hope Ward can keep his place so that at least I have a playing back up who can get me his obligatory 1 pointer if my first choice keeper doesn't play.

  7. Dynamic Duos
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    A,B,C or D?

    A) Odegaard and Fofana
    B) Martinelli and Fofana
    C) Rodrigo and Fofana
    D) Gross and Trippier

    1. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Too early to bring in Fofana

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Dalot then maybe?

        1. Tonyawesome69
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          I would rather wait for United to improve their defensive stats before going there

    2. Jock Grealish
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      He hasn't even signed yet

      1. Dynamic Duos
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Glad you told me this , I don't have any news sources or Internet

        1. Jock Grealish
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Pointless question

  8. Tomerick
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Which city mid for Forest barring KDB?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Gundo.

    2. SADIO SANÉ
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Gundog based on the benching, but not sure I'm completely confident about it

    3. Hutchiniho
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I like Bernardo

    4. sirmorbach
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Gundo.

    5. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Foden

      1. Tomerick
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah it’s really between Foden and Gundo for me. You not worried Foden won’t start after playing 90 yesterday?

    6. Tonyawesome69
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I don't understand why folks think Gundo being benched automatically means he starts the next game. That's not how Pep works!

      1. Tomerick
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        People love to find patterns where there are none lol

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

      Fodinho

    8. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I'm thinking of Gundogan or Bernardo but can't decide myself. Would love to punt on Bernardo but I'm not sure if he'll keep playing advanced or if he'll play at RW again or not

      1. Tomerick
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Bernardo’s the ultimate troll. He’ll keep hauling until you bring him in then promptly hang up his shooting boots.

        1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          He certainly could be like that but with Haaland there maybe he's been told to play ahead of Rodri and KDB, with KDB sitting deeper to play those long through balls, Bernardo is better at the intricate stuff and Mahrez being in poor form might mean he ends up playing wide sometimes too. The big question is probably Grealish, maybe when he comes back Bernardo will play deeper so I'm quite unsure. I can do Dasilva or Martinelli to Bernardo or Martinelli to Gundogan, I do have 2FTs but don't see a need to use the second this week

      2. The Mentaculus
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Mahrez had such a poor game I suspect Bernardo might be needed on the right

        1. Nate(U)dog(ie)
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          That's what I'm thinking, suppose a lot depends on Grealish's availability. If he's there then its one less attacking avenue Bernardo would be needed for. Might still take a chance, have to see what the word on him is first

    9. dunas_dog
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Gundogan

    10. Hits from the Bong
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Think Bernardo is most nailed but maybe less explosive

  9. Hutchiniho
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    This for my Telegraph team

    Cucu and KDB 3.4 + 6.5 =9.9
    Vs
    James and Bernardo 5.0 + 4.9 also 9.9m

    Budget is for £50m starting XI only.
    Context Salah £7m TAA £5.5m

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

    Mount out for which punt? :

    A) Trossard
    B) Barnes

    1. The Knights Template
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A

  11. La Roja
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Trippier hammy

    1. Dynamic Duos
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Gone off?

      1. Gizzachance
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Not yet

      2. Jock Grealish
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        He will. Injury prone as usual

      3. La Roja
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Not yet but looks like he will come off

    2. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Bruno an Wilson out, tripp would be a big miss to

      1. Haalander
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Does it give Liverpool a chance of a haul mid week with these absentees for Newcastle?

    3. x.jim.x
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Ironically, taking a set-piece has actually cost him points (if he goes off)

      1. x.jim.x
        • 11 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        “Point”, shall I say.

    going robbo/bailey to one of these, help me choose guys thanks!

    a) dias/gros
    b) dias/harrison
    c) dunk/rodrigo (have sanchez in goal)

    1. Gizzachance
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      A

      1. NJ MetroStars
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        thats kinda what im thinking too although it would be nice to get a piece of the leeds attack, and id rather harrison over rodrigo too. thanks

    2. Haalander
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I like B. Harrison is capable of a haul when you least expect it. Plus he’s lower owned so if he does score you points you’re climbing

      1. NJ MetroStars
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        thanks, i really am torn. Gros looks amazing but I like the diversity of leeds plus like you said, lower owned and he seems nailed on with an even longer string of positive matchups

        1. Harry the Hack
          • 16 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Wouldn't worry too much about social inclusion when picking your FPL team.

          1. NJ MetroStars
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 4 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            lol. but yeah i mean my fpl squad team diversity. already have sanchez and no leeds. double brighton seems excessive to me although its a defender/attacker split. and that everton home match for harrison looks tasty

  15. sirmorbach
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Does the Trippier injury looks bad as in "transfer him out" bad?

    1. Jock Grealish
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Hes still on.

    2. The Bandit
      • 15 Years

      He’s still playing

      1. The Knights Template
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Trippier the trooper!

    3. Nate(U)dog(ie)
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      With him going off it's a worry, especially with the short turnaround

    4. NJ MetroStars
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      he'll definitely miss Liverpool, but would you have played him anyway? guessing he misses 2 games max. didnt look terrible

      1. Khark
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        They've made 2 subs since and trippier is still on...

        1. NJ MetroStars
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 4 Years

          yup. worst case he misses liverpool as a precaution

        Agreed. Thought he was coming off judging he signaled the bench, he is probably shaked it off

      You can wait until he actually goes off before calling it. No one thinks you're psychic if you call it 5 seconds early.
