Gameweek 4 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) concludes this afternoon, with Nottingham Forest v Tottenham Hotspur getting underway at 16:30 BST.

Spurs are unchanged from their win over Wolverhampton Wanderers in Gameweek 3.

That means Ivan Perisic once again lines up at left wing-back, with Dejan Kulusevski, Son Heung-min and Harry Kane in attack.

Antonio Conte is without Cristian Romero and Oliver Skipp, plus Lucas Moura and Bryan Gil.

As for the hosts, Steve Cooper makes two changes to his starting XI, with Ryan Yates and new signing Morgan Gibbs-White replacing Orel Mangala – who is not in the squad – and Taiwo Awoniyi.

Elsewhere, budget midfielder Jack Colback returns for the first time since Gameweek 1 following an illness. Moussa Niakhate and Omar Richards, however, are long-term absentees.


GAMEWEEK 4 LINE-UPS

Nottingham Forest XI: Henderson, Worrall, Cook, McKenna, Williams, Yates, O’Brien, Toffolo, Gibbs-White, Lingard, Johnson

Subs: Hennessey, Biancone, Colback, Awoniyi, Surridge, Mighten, Kouyate, Freuler, Dennis

Tottenham Hotspur XI: Lloris, Sanchez, Dier, Davies, Royal, Hojbjerg, Bentancur, Perisic, Kulusevski, Son, Kane

Subs: Forster, Doherty, Richarlison, Sessegnon, Spence, Tanganga, Sarr, Lenglet, Bissouma

    Come on NFO score today and destroy this awful Spurs and Perisic CS

  2. chocolove

    Nice. Perisic restes

  3. Zimo
    • 7 Years

    Ahh Kulu. If only that was his left foot

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

    Score now Forest.

    Is Cancelo worth 7 mil? He is in my team atm but contemplating selling him. I am also tempted to sell Salah as Haaland appears to be a safe captain option week in week out (odd rotation will happen, but that is inevitable).

    Currently considering one of these options going forward:

    A) Salah, Cancelo, Robertson and Cucurella (5-3-2)
    B) Salah, Diaz, Cancelo and 4.5 def (4-4-2)
    C) Sterling, Diaz, Cancelo and Robertson (4-4-2)
    D) KDB, Diaz, Robertson and Cucurella (4-4-2)
    E) KDB, Diaz, Cancelo and Cucurella/Perisic (4-4-2)

    I want Diaz, but already got three Liverpool players (TAA the third) So I have to sell either Robbo or Salah to fit him in.

    Thoughts?

      There was a point yesterday where City were down 2-0 and Cancelo was still on 2 bonus points. It's easy to forget how high he scores any time City keep a clean sheet (which is often).

    2. SpaceCoyote97
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I think give Cancelo some more time (2 weeks) before you sell. TAA was pretty woeful before his game at Bournemouth.

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

      I am selling Cancelo only so I can upgrade rest of the team. I have Walker and plan to move out Mount to Gundo.

    Always find it weird to see keepers wearing hats.

    1. Chalobah's Witness
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      unless it's a Yashin peaky blinders hat

    2. chocolove
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Not really.

    3. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      It’s so they can throw it onto the ball

  7. Chalobah's Witness
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I don't think Spurs players really know how good Perisic is.
    Getting absolutely no support at all.

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

    "Bruno Lage confirms he picked Wily Boly in his @Wolves
    squad for today's game, told the defender he needed him on the bench. Boly didn't turn up."

    What on earth happened to him??

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

      Big Saturday night out?

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

      Somebody's trying to Free Wily?

    3. Chalobah's Witness
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      that's a wily bolsy move by him

  9. Ange Ball
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    This season really bad this down to pricing. Won my league 9 years straight against my mate he is 110pts ahead after 4 games because the game has allowed casuals to get all big hitters. No way to come back be it Salah or Haaland cap whole season. I hope next season the game is harder. #dullfpl

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

      Prices are the same for everyone. It's no excuse.

      1. Ange Ball
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        They really should made it more difficult getting in premium players.

    2. Neevesy
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Pick your toys back up and move on

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

      Hahaha you’ve won 9 years in a row and now you are crying after one month because you are being outplayed. Come on man

      1. Ange Ball
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Fantasy not about being out played more luck

    4. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      If they can make 110 points on you in 4 weeks, surely you can make that up on them across 34?

      1. Ange Ball
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Hopefully but no one move away from template if you do that's at big risk

    5. Chalobah's Witness
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      110 points are pretty easy to catch at this stage of the season

    6. Don Van Vliet
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Easy to make that ground up over the remainder of the season with well-executed chips alone, especially against 'casuals'.

      Suck it up, big boy.

      1. Ange Ball
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        lol

  10. Arteta
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    United sent the wrong goalkeeper on loan.

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

      Who wants to pay 300K a week for a duffer?

  11. lilmessipran
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Come on Forest spoil that perisic cleanie

  12. Kane Train
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Dalot or Saliba?

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

      Saliba

    2. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Saliba but Dalit looks an interesting option at 4.5

      1. Kane Train
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        4.4*

  13. Neevesy
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Great week to go Kane over Haaland. (Already used FT to change this).

  14. Make FPL Casual Again
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Kulusevki doesn't seem to be taking as much shots as last year, not assisting either ...

    Thoughts on Kulu to :
    1. Diaz - Liv back scoring goals
    2. Gundo - high upside vs NOF but rotation risk
    3. Roderigo, saves c. 1.8m
    4. Gross , saves c. 2.4m
    5. Leave Kulu, upgrade Dasilva to Gross , bench Saliba vs WHAM ; gives an extra bench option for potential rotation next GW (perisic/ haaland )

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

      he's literally assisted in this game.

      about 1 in 3.

      1. Make FPL Casual Again
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah he's ticking along nicely, but last season he was returning almost every game and hauling also

        There's cheaper options , Roderigo, Gross etc outscored him, and potentially more explosive options Gundo, Diaz etc

    2. Neevesy
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      5

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

      Also, he looks pretty good. Getting in the right positions, I'm keeping.

    4. AARON-1
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      1 goal, 2 assists in 4 games so far. Hardly a slump. I don't own Kulusevski but I'm pondering getting him.

    As a neutral, Forest fans are adorable. Love the noise and atmosphere. I think a part of me desperately wants Forest to stay up in the Premier League.

    1. SpaceCoyote97
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I think they will, and tbh, Fulham probably will too.

      1. banskt
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        I think Bournemouth and Forest are leading relegation contest. But, I would love to be proven wrong.

        1. SpaceCoyote97
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 3 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Bournemouth will probably go down, but Forest have been getting pretty decent results, and are doing well against Tottenham here.

          I think there are much worse teams than Forest atm (Villa, Leicester, Southampton, Everton)

  16. Other Guys
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    This game is calling for Richarlison in place of Son.

  17. Sun Jihai
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Henderson in this game alone scoring more than double Ward's point score for the whole season! Such a trap

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

      Ha ha.

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

      The pen save alone is more than Ward's entire season total.

    3. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      We all know what is happening midweek vs United and Bruno!

    4. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yeah but when Ward finally gets that 2 pointer we've all been waiting for life is gonna be sweet

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

    Perisic still on

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

    3 - Sánchez (27)
    2 - Henderson (25)
    1 - Lloris (24)

    Dier (22)
    Davies (21)
    Kane (21)
    Emerson Royal (20)
    Perišić (18)

    1. Scapegoat Salah
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Need a Kane brace

    2. FPL Emu
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Basically a 5 point assist lost for Perisic then

  20. Scapegoat Salah
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Dennis is back!!
    Anyone tempted?

    1. Mr. O'Connell
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Waiting for DGW first

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

        😀

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

    Always had a feeling Dennis was taller

    1. Miguel Sanchez
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Ivan Toney syndrome

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

        Does Ivan Toney also think Dennis is taller?

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

        Dennis seems 175cm (how tall is he?) and Toney 190. I was in absolute shock when I saw Toney being 179.

  22. pundit of punts
    • 12 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Kulu so dangerous

    So close to a haul

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

    Perisic still playing. Did Sessegnon dissapear for toilet session a la Dier?

  24. panda07
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Why no sponsor on the Forest shirt?

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      They have been holding out for a bigger sponsorship deal apparently.

      1. Other Guys
        • 3 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Need to keep the balance sheet in check after all those transfers

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

      Haven't signed with anyone yet. Have to say it's quite refreshing to see a shirt with no sponsor even if it's only for a short time

      1. Count of Monte Hristo
        • 12 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Agreed, I think they should leave it or go back to the Labatt’s sponsor from the 90’s.

  25. lilmessipran

    Dennis captain Gw6 vs Bou looks good, I am ready to get burnt again

    1. Count of Monte Hristo
      • 12 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Haha hold your feet to the fire!

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

      Dennis is a beast. Could become an asset in this optimistic NFO team.

  26. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 15 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Son not even bothering to get up on the counter

    What has happened to son? Looks awful this season

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

      To be fair he isn't getting picked out by his teammates today when in position

  27. g40steve

    Dennis time

  28. Miguel Sanchez
    • 9 Years
