Saturday’s Premier League football was again headlined by Erling Haaland (£15.2m), who now has nine goals in four matches.
A brace in Manchester City’s 2-1 win over Brentford made it three successive double-digit hauls. It also took him past the 50-point mark.
Mohamed Salah (£12.7m), who had performed heroics to keep pace with Haaland in FPL, couldn’t do so this time. Liverpool dropped their first points of the season at home to Nottingham Forest, who are finally delivering on those promising underlying defensive numbers.
Cole Palmer (£10.6m) couldn’t make any inroads on Salah in the late kick-off, either. The much-jettisoned Christopher Nkunku (£6.2m) was the difference-maker, coming off the bench to net a late winner for Chelsea.
At least all of the above got on the pitch: Joao Pedro (£5.7m) missed out on the stalemate at the Amex with a knock.
Four of the five teams with the best clean sheet odds in Gameweek 4 conceded: Liverpool, Man City, Aston Villa and Crystal Palace.
There were five shut-outs elsewhere, however, with Robert Sanchez (£4.5m) and Andre Onana (£5.0m) racking up monster hauls by coupling their clean sheets with penalty saves.
And Jean-Philippe Mateta (£7.4m) and Ollie Watkins (£8.9m) finally got up and running for 2024/25, breaking their goal ducks with braces.
