GW4: The FPL Scoutcast | Transfer Target Shortlist
Briefed in the Fantasy Premier League edition of Thursday, 10 September 2026
What was discussed
Gameweek 3 points and chip results3:22
- Andyassertion
I finished on 59 points this week, and obviously it's it sounds really good.
- Nachoopinion
I think nine points is great. No, like I think it's context, isn't it?
- Hiboopinion
I don't really like the whole narrative. I think it's kind of fairly flawed.
Value of four million Defcon defenders16:09
- Andyassertion
I thought it was interesting when they priced every newly promoted defender at four million
- Nachoopinion
I really think a four million defender is absolutely viable because it just allows you to bench them without any headaches whatsoever.
Lewis Hall's Newcastle ownership and fixtures18:53
- Hiboopinion
No, I think he's he's definitely a Newcastle defender to go for.
- Andyassertion
Do you think he is the Newcastle lad to go for, or do you think it's a little bit of a bandwagon that shouldn't be happening?
Hull City's defensive regression and Chelsea matchup21:00
- Andyspeculation
I think they'll fall off. When I was just about to ask you that, Nacho, is when is the regression going to happen?
- Nachospeculation
I think it's coming, isn't it? Really, they've they've been great. They've been so good.
- Hiboopinion
I think anybody that's picked Hull defenders to start the season, I think, killed it. Go and go and do the laddo, you know, because you know you've had plenty of luck.
Chelsea attackers and xGI rankings22:16
- Andyassertion
Bruno Fernandez is still top, obviously heavily helped by that battering of Ipswich
- Hiboopinion
I think there's the argument to go for the three Chelsea attackers. Sounds hyper aggressive.
- Andyopinion
What do we think about Rodgers? I feel like Rodgers is the forgotten man in this Chelsea one
Dominic Calvert-Lewin as a third striker option26:48
- Andyassertion
He's five point six million. He plays up front for Everton, and I'm pretty sure he's going to play about forty five games this year
- Hiboopinion
I wouldn't go as far as second striker personally. Yeah, I think it's a world where you can take on Harland and Jay Pedro.
Martin Odegaard's value and Arsenal midfield options29:40
- Andyassertion
Odegaard at 6.6 million, two goals already, and he's he's on 2.05 xgi
- Hiboopinion
The risk is, as you say, it doesn't have the pants, it doesn't have a lot of set pieces. You're very reliant on open play.
Arsenal triple defense strategy and pricing34:19
- Andyopinion
being able to triple up on their defence with Raya, Conser, and Calafiore for around 16 million seems like such ridiculous value.
- Nachoopinion
I actually think the triple defence is a really good strategy. I personally, just from a playing perspective, won't go down that route.
- Hiboopinion
I think triple defence is boring, but I think triple defence is highly effective.
Wildcard shortlist and team construction33:24
- Andyassertion
This shows the goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders, forwards that I'm thinking about having on wild card
- Nachoopinion
I think some players do just pick themselves, don't they, from a value perspective?
- Hiboopinion
I think loads of people kind of had this concept in their head that oh, they were going to play the bench first and then they were going to come off that and then they were going to condense most of the money on the eleven. I don't think it's optimal at all.
Nacho's Gameweek 4 transfers and captaincy54:05
- Nachoassertion
I don't really know, to be honest with you. I wish I could tell you.
- Nachoopinion
I think Palmer is still the captaincy pick. I think Jay Pedro is is like we said the ownership pick, the safe pick, but um. I still like the Palmer pick
Hibo's Gameweek 4 transfers and team structure57:59
- Hiboassertion
No, so this is one one transfer. So we'll just kind of talk through from back to front.
- Hiboopinion
I think all in all, I feel like the team feels strong. Kind of felt like I felt strong last week as well, but it didn't really work out.
Listener Q&A on transfers and captaincy59:21
- Nachoopinion
I don't mind it at all. I really don't mind it, especially on a midfielder.
- Hiboassertion
I would probably have to look it up. So. Move that next question and then I'll come back on it.
- Nachospeculation
I think it's a one game week thing, and then and then I think you're going to be selling them as quick as you bought them in a team, unfortunately.
- Hiboopinion
I think I would be more concerned long term. About Cherokee having reduced minutes
- Nachoopinion
I think the right answer is Lewis Hall, but I I would struggle to bench Chirky this week against this Man United defense right now.
