My FPL Wildcard Team for Gameweek 4 🔥 Triple Chelsea✅
Andy repeatedly emphasizes that retaining Haaland is the optimal strategy because his upcoming home fixtures provide unmatched captaincy value, and dropping him to fund midfield upgrades would sacrifice a reliable captaincy route without sufficient justification.
Briefed in the Fantasy Premier League edition of Tuesday, 08 September 2026
What was discussed
Wildcard goalkeeper and defender strategy0:00
- Andyassertion
I've gone for two 4.5 million options that will rotate, rather than picking David Ryan. Konza is just such good value at 4.4 million.
- Andyopinion
Calafuri is really difficult to turn down as well.
- Andyspeculation
I would really want to see Encapié start this midweek because if he doesn't and Calafiori starts, all of a sudden you've got worries about whether he's going to start against Sunderland.
Chelsea triple attack and midfield construction6:37
- Andyassertion
Palmer, I think, is just a no-brainer.
- Andyspeculation
I think this Chelsea attack are going to score plenty of goals.
- Andyassertion
Saka is a big differential and takes set pieces from the right hand side and is on penalties.
- Andyopinion
Pascal Gross at 5.5 is still one of the best value picks.
- Andyassertion
I've gone for a dead spot in this team is just to take some money out so that the rest of the team is affordable.
Forward options and Haaland captaincy debate10:47
- Andyassertion
Harlan and Zhao, Pedro are fairly straightforward, and most people will own them.
- Andyopinion
Barry is such good value at 5.6 million for pretty much a nailed-on number nine. I just don't think most people want to do that, and I wouldn't want to do it either because Harlan is such a good captain in five and seven.
- Andyassertion
The amount of times where he's the obvious best captain goes down because you've now lost the Coventry at home game, the Ipswich at home game, and the Sunderland at home.
Alternative wildcard tinker and player swaps16:27
- Andyopinion
If you want to include the Kai, I'd probably put him in instead of Nico Williams. Van Hecke is a good long-term option with decent fixtures. I still like Szoboszlai as a set and forget option. I think my conclusion here is playing around with this is probably not enough reason to drop Harland.
