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.

      Anyone still holding him deserves a hat-trick from him minimum

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

        Thanks I could do with it big time

      2. Hotdogs for Tea
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Two goals in the last 2 games ... not bad so far, just needs a big haul

    2. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Big haul will destroy ranks.

  2. Make FPL Casual Again

    Phew Perisic starts, now for that 25 point haul

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

      Rare

  3. Sailboats

    3 years, 4 months ago

    Stevie G or Lampard first to be sacked?

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

      Lampard easy

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

      Lampard is at least getting some performances out of Everton and they're low on numbers, Gerrard has spent big and doesn't seem to have any idea what he wants from his team or how to set them up

    3. Red Red Robins
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Gerrard my a mile

  17. Paul Psychic Octopus
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    The stupidity of this co-commentator, whoever he is.

    Thinks the "defining factor" was that it lead to a goal, otherwise "no foul".

    No. The defining factor was that it was a cynical and blatant push in the back.

  18. Big_Andy_GAWA
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    That is an incredible decision.

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

      No it was a foul

      1. Big_Andy_GAWA
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Nonsense. Barely had any contact on him!!!!

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

          Blind

          1. Big_Andy_GAWA
            • 14 Years
            3 years, 4 months ago

            You'd be giving FK's every 3/4 seconds if you were refereeing a game, FFS. Desperate!!!! 😆

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

    Phew! That Neto assist would’ve hit. I’d say he’ll be coming off a lot of benches this week

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

      I HAD HIM STARTING!!!!! ahhhh. almost lived the dream

      2. DandyDon
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I got a Andreas score last week, two in a row from these cheap midfielders was too much to ask

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

          lol same here. started andreas last week and neto this one. im content with one of the two. still think neto is a great hold the next two weeks, he looked pretty decent today. good chances and in great spaces

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

    Is Neto a hold for Bournemouth game?

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

      After a 9-0 defeat? Yes

    2. DandyDon
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      We may as well we have got this far. Expecting Wolves to win 1-0 at most!

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

        2-0 jimi haul

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

      Definitely yes I’d nearly bring in a wolves player to target Bournemouth game the way things are going

    4. BobbyDoesNotLook
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

    5. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years
