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

    Game week over. How’d you get on?

    1. One for All
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      58 terrible...

      1. Nightf0x
        • 10 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Same

    2. Botman and Robben
      • 9 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Can't complain, you got me 8 points for a 77pt score.

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

        Snap, same score

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

      69 points (nice)
      Measly 4% green arrow
      Around 1m OR, it's gonna be really hard to break upwards given how entrenched the template is, gonna be a long tough season

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

        Yea definitely going to be a drag. Maybe euro football and rotation I’m hoping might change it up a bit

    4. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      79

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

      71 (-4). Ward to Sanchez covered the hit. Salah captain fail but small green arrow from 2.6m to 2.4m so can't be too unhappy.

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

      82 (-4) Happy with that for sure. Took a -4 to remove Son for Diaz and it paid off.

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

        Great call. That type of move really makes a game week all the sweeter

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

        Handsomely, great shout on losing Son, looks well off the pace at the minute

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

      Ended on 75 and a green arrow. Still only game week rank of 2m so there must be some really good scores out there. Could’ve been more only for the Kane missed pen.

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

      69…Felt like I had most of the right players but Salah(C) was such a big swing

    9. Josh.E
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      81

    10. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      66 and sizeable red arrow …

    11. Wirtzel Gummidge
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      71. Smallish red.

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

      81.

      Still gutted to leave Gross points on bench. Should have played him ahead of Trippier. Hindsight and all.

    13. The Legend Squad
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      79. 600k to 279k OR. Won my head to head. Near top of most my MLs. Happy at the moment!

    14. tangtastic
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      70-4

      With Salah (c) its pretty decent, no complaints

    15. Christina.
      • 15 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      80 with a (c) fail
      OR up from 4m->2m

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

        Wow - epic rank improvement

    16. House Frey Wedding Planner
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      68

  3. One for All
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Mendy
    Saliba, Taa, Walker, Cucurella
    Andreas, Martinelli, Salah, Diaz
    Jesus, Haaland

    Forster, Trippier, Greenwood, Murphy

    0 FT

    A) Greenwood to Toney -4
    B) Hold

    A or B guys?

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

    What has happened to Son?

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

      some people thrive on competition, some people are the opposite - he probably thinks his status was questioned by the Richarlison signing (and it was to be honest) and it's added pressure/made him feel unappreciated (just my opinion obviously)

      1. Magic Zico
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 7 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Possible but Rich is his backup, at least so far as Son keeps starting. Clearly he's not happy.

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

        Interesting. You could be on something here.

    2. Magic Zico
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Strange ... the body language as well.

      Is he carrying injury or just form?

    3. Pratik
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I just feel he's out of form. Kane has had massive periods like that too.

  5. CrouchDown
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    What would you do with 2FT here? I have 0.0 in the bank

    Ward

    TAA Zinchenko Walker

    Salah Martinelli GroB Andreas

    Haaland Kane Jesus

    Subs: Iversen, Trippier Bailey Neco

    1. dabber7
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 4 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Zinchenko to Saliba and Iverson to Sanchez maybe?

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

    So now then , question is ..is Kane now a better option than Salah ?

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

      It was Forest.

      1. SH1M1
        • 14 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        It was Bournemouth ...

        1. One for All
          • 7 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          Lol

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

        1 goal from open play this season, poor 2nd half last season ?

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

          Kane+ Gundo/Diaz vs Salah +Toney

    2. Pratik
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      I was thinking that but I don't like Spurs fixtures going forward, not that easy for them to attack.

  7. Over Midwicket
    • 13 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Can someone please please PLEASE explain to me why that utter troglodite Schar took that 98th minute freekick instead of Lord Trippier? An utter disgrace.

    1. g40steve
      • 7 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Hammy pull

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

      "He can blast the ball", I believe the commentator said

    3. CABAYE4
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Think the logic was that it was “too close” for Trippier.

      Poor decision imo.

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

        yeah

        power

        hard to get it to dip from a 20 yards out

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

        As a non-Trippier owner I disagree

    4. Captain-Useful
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      have to ask.

      Haaland

      away sucks and at home

      Is GOLD.

      or is this just his 12 man dortmund style influencing him still.

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

        He scored 3 away goals and 3 home goals. Perfectly balanced at this point.

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

        I don't think that is the case and 4 GW's in the prem is not a reasonable critical mass to assess him on

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

    Early prediction is 48 to be the LMS safety score.

  9. JohnnyCroat
    • 10 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Despite the green arrow, that was torture. Kane gets 10 but still... Bulling my way through a working weekend, freaking blood tests first thing, Tuesday deadline take me now!!!!

  10. g40steve
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Apart from the goals think Forest were better side 🙂

    1. CABAYE4
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Played well but they won’t win many games with that back 3.

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

      No teams are going to want to play away at forest that’s for sure. They’re playing good positive football I think they’ll land a few surprise wins against bigger teams for sure

    3. F4L
      • 11 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      looked good but struggled to create clear cut chances

  11. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Kulu + Patterson > James + Grob?

    1. Pratik
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      why get rid of Kulu? think he's good value for money

      1. TheBiffas
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Grob has outscored him

    2. EmreCan Hustle
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Yes

  12. CABAYE4
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Kane avoids a second yellow again.

    I generally don’t believe there is much bias in officials but there’s definitely plenty of them who are too scared of the backlash of sending of the England captain.

    1. Lieutenant Frank Columbo
      • 13 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      100% this … Golden boy gets away with this all the time.

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

      I just said the same on prev page. Seemed clear yellow (if there was contact).

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

      I agree with this. Just sayin' but I am too scared to say that.

    4. DRIZ ✅
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Let me guess none of you have him in your team

  13. Pratik
    • 16 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I want to get rid of Walker, as I already have Cancelo, any recommendations? I only have £5.4, otherwise I'd have gone Perisic last week.

    Ramsdale, Ward
    TAA, James, Cancelo, Walker, Patterson
    Martinelli, Grob, Salah, Diaz, Andreas
    Jesus, Haaland, Archer

    1. CABAYE4
      • 14 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Stick with Walker this week then move to Trippier.

      1. Pratik
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Good shout!

        Have 2 transfers and not much to do otherwise. If I could get rid of Walker, I would have considered Salah -> KDB as well but probably better to just stick.

        1. CABAYE4
          • 14 Years
          3 years, 4 months ago

          I’m in a similar position with 2FT and seriously considering changing my 4.5 FWD to avoid a price drop.

  14. Randaxus
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Richarlison is an a****** reminds me of myself.

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

      Moody, petulant, sulker, most over paid youth are.

  15. Magic Zico
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 7 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Kulu, keep or twist?
    A. Robbo Kulu
    B. Perisic Diaz

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

      B with Trippier.

  16. Tcheco
    • 8 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Harry ticking along nicely. Shame about the penalty miss 😡

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

      What could have been. Scored pen and no yellow and people would be doing Haaland -> Kane

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

        If Kane got 13pts people would be selling someone that got 17pts and has Forest next for him?

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

      Would’ve been great to have got the Hattie and matched Haaland

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

    Mount out for which punt?

    A) Trossard
    B) Barnes
    C) Other?

    Current mid of Salah, Odegaard, Rodrigo
    Already have 3 City..

    0 ITB

  18. Casualspotted
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    NFO cant defend. City will score 5-6 easily

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

      Perfect occasion for City to rest key players and carve out a small win with their second team.

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

        Fearing this. My bench would not take nicely Haaland and Cancelo no shows (while having also Perisic risk).

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

          I expect him to get minutes at least.

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

    2 FTs, 0.0 ITB. Can you see any move worth doing?

    Ederson
    TAA Cancelo James Robbo Perisic
    Salah Martinelli Neto
    Haaland Jesus

    Ward Andreas Dasilva Greenwood

    1. Pratik
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Salah -> KDB

    2. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Get Neto out

  20. The Big Fella
    • 9 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    I have Son. I am debating selling for Sterling. They have good fixtures, he is OOP and seems to feel appreciated and is a sure starter. Mad?

    1. TheBiffas
      • 5 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Nope, sell

      1. Pratik
        • 16 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        +1

      2. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        The selling Son is obvious. My question refers to buying Sterling.

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

      Defo sell imo something isn’t clicking for son at the minute

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

      Sterling's next few fixtures are excellent, he was a bit unlucky before yesterday too with a close miss against both Spurs and Leeds, if there's ever a time to take a shot with him it's now. I've been contemplating him myself this week but I'd need to use both FTs and get rid of someone I don't want to yet so I'll see next week

      1. The Big Fella
        • 9 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Yeah I have just got him in. I need to decide what to do with my second transfer now. Upgrade Iverson or sell Williams or Patterson for Saliba......

  21. TheBiffas
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Any chance Gundo falls this week?

    1. Pratik
      • 16 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      Unlikely. Considering he is very likely to start this week and got an assist in the limited time.

    2. Captain-Useful
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 3 Years
      3 years, 4 months ago

      if it does then. we might have problems with keeping our teams from negative 100 mil.

      hope not

  22. Casualspotted
    • 3 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    What r u doing with Perisic?

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

      nothing

      a hot bath and a cold shower

      He'll be fine for 65 mins again

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

      Buying. If he’s subbed on he scores points and when he’s subbed off he’s still scoring points. Def the one player that’s cost me the most not to have

  23. gooberman
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 14 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Son blank and early subbing for Richarlison is getting rather tiresome. Patience wearing thin.

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

      Richarlison could start soon

      looked sharp enough

  24. Paqueta Rice
    • 5 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    Why was Emerson subbed at HT today? Was it tactical or injury?

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

      Tactical. They switched to a back four and were much better after the change.

      1. Paqueta Rice
        • 5 Years
        3 years, 4 months ago

        Ta

  25. Berkshire Hafaway-Line

    Fascinating old game week

  26. Solly The Seagull

    Gtg? 0ft 0.0itb

    Ramsdale

    Thanks!

  27. Randaxus
    • 4 Years
    3 years, 4 months ago

    My defence

    TAA 17 points
    Cancelo 1 point
    James 7 points
    Perisic 7 points
    Saliba 7 points

    People who said 5 at the back is dead, please stand up.

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

      Should have gone 4 at the back

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

        Why my defenders scored 7 points

      Saliba 7p lucky. I feel robbed having less with the same defence except Saliba->Cucu. 😉

    TAA should have been priced at 8.5 and Salah at 14. Would have made a lot more people diverge from the template.

      Even Haaland and Jesus should have been 1M more. Forcing you to make tradeoffs is good for the game.

    Am I crazy for considering Diaz to Gundo. Think he will outscore Diaz in next 2-3 GWs.

    Apart from that move i dont know what to do and have 2 FTs

    Of all the strange things that happen in fpl surely 9-0 pool win and no salah attacking points has to be the worst.
