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 don’t know I actually didn’t even know he was injured until I saw the line up yesterday evening. I read slight muscle injury so maybe a game but who knows

    4. FOO FIGHTER
      • 6 Years

      Took him out for Saliba last week.

      Turned out to be a good move.

      1. AC/DC AFC
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        you benched Saliba and it was for a hit!!

        tell the truth / full story at least.

  13. PartyTime
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Next time remove Neto for Traoré you dummy

    1. Shaw must go on
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Maybe you should apply for the Wolves Team manager...

      1. PartyTime
        • 4 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        😆

        My representatives are in touch with Barça in case Xavi gets sacked

  14. TorresMagic™

    West win 1-0

  15. JBG

    How poor are/is Villa/Gerrard that you lose at home to this lackluster WH?

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

      Have to agree they definitely have lost their mojo under Gerard.

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

      West Ham were great second half after ditching 3 at the back

  16. Bartowski
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Poch will be Villa manager by the end of the year.

  17. Stranger Mings
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Keep or sell trippier?

    1. Royal5
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Night sell to upgrade Ward

      1. Royal5
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Might*

        1. Stranger Mings
          • 5 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Yeh that makes sense

  18. how now brown cow
    • 11 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Stevie G must be on borrowed time.

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

    Spurs fixtures from GW6:

    GW6 Fulham
    GW7 City
    GW8 Leicester
    GW9 Arsenal
    GW10 Brighton

    If I'm looking to move out Cancelo next week is there much point in considering Perisic? Given rotation worries with the CL and a few tough games I feel like he could easily end up missing the good fixtures so should I just look elsewhere?

    1. Dušan Citizen
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yes, youshould look elsewhere.

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

      yeah I won't have any Spurs from 7-10

    3. FC Hakkebøf
      • 8 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Best to avoid Spurs imo. Cucurella maybe?

      1. Andy_Social
        • 13 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Odd decisions when they haven't even played yet.

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

          It's probably more than anything that I could see him starting 3 of those 6 games and having them all end up as 1-2 pointers from being the hardest games. I'm not definitely getting rid of Cancelo, I'm just not sure City defenders are ones to back right now.

  20. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member

    Lucky TAA who now won't face ASM.

  30. Dušan Citizen
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
