FPL Gameweek 4 Preview 🔥 Free Hit 4 Team ✍️ Palmer 🆚 João Pedro (C)
Briefed in the Fantasy Premier League edition of Thursday, 10 September 2026
What was discussed
Gakpo injury status and transfer advice0:00
- Andyassertion
Gakpo missed training as a precaution, so wait for updates before transferring him in.
Man City midfield rotation and Anderson minutes0:41
- Andyopinion
Anderson will likely start against Man United but long-term rotation risk makes him a risky buy.
Man City attacking players and injury updates1:25
- Andyassertion
Haaland played 90 and scored twice; Cherky is expected to start Gameweek 4 despite early sub.
- Andyspeculation
O'Reilly and Doku are doubtful, so Injoy could start against Man United if already owned.
Vardy and left back rotation at Man City2:20
- Andyspeculation
Maresca may not trust Aitnori at left back, leaving Vardy and O'Reilly competing for the spot.
Arsenal defenders and Timbers return2:52
- Andyassertion
Konsa looks like a good buy with Mosquera out, but Timbers' return will reduce Ben White's minutes long-term.
Newcastle defenders and rotation risk3:53
- Andyopinion
Dedic's minutes are under threat from Liveramento, who is a very good right back and will get minutes.
Gameweek 4 captaincy options3:53
- Andyopinion
Haaland is fine but Man United away is risky; Isak is reasonable but hype may be overreaction; Chelsea at home to Hull is preferred.
Fulham defensive stats and Isak captaincy5:33
- Andyassertion
Fulham's 2.08 xG conceded per game is very bad, similar to a newly promoted team.
- Andyopinion
Isak may not play 90 minutes against Fulham and likely isn't on penalties, making him reasonable but not standout.
Chelsea attackers and captaincy choice6:55
- Andyopinion
Palmer or João Pedro are better captaincy picks than Rogers due to penalties and box presence. Hull's 1.68 xG conceded per game isn't great, and Chelsea's attack should break them down.
Palmer vs João Pedro captaincy decision7:52
- Andyopinion
Palmer is his captain choice despite penalty uncertainty, as he believes Palmer won't give them up.
- Xabi Alonsoclip
Alonso said in pre-season they have their own ideas about penalty takers now.
Free Hit Gameweek 4 team construction9:39
- Andyopinion
Free Hit team should target Fulham, Hull, Sunderland, Coventry, and Ipswich fixtures with double Palace defense and Chelsea attackers.
Arsenal triple-up options14:08
- Andyopinion
Best Arsenal triple-up is Raya, Calafiori, Konsa, and Saka, with Gabriel and Odegaard as alternatives.
Kai Havertz as FPL forward option17:35
- Andyopinion
Havertz isn't a top-five Arsenal pick and faces rotation, making him not worth prioritizing at 7.5m.
Dropping Haaland for squad flexibility18:57
- Andyopinion
Dropping Haaland frees funds for a stacked midfield but his captaincy fixtures make it hard to justify.
- Enzo Marescaclip
Maresca said Haaland will need rest occasionally due to the long season.
Triple Captain Gameweek 4 viability25:24
- Andyopinion
Triple Captain on Palmer or João Pedro is viable if Hull don't remain super defensive.
Triple Captain future fixture planning25:51
- Andyopinion
Future Triple Captain windows include Gameweek 7, 11, 16, and 19, with rotation risks around Europe and Christmas.
Second Chelsea attacker necessity30:01
- Andyopinion
A second Chelsea attacker isn't essential, and using three free transfers for Rogers isn't worth it.
Vukovic vs Mihajlovic long-term comparison31:51
- Andyopinion
Mihajlovic is safer short-term with better defensive returns, while Vukovic has better long-term fixtures.
Newcastle defender selection35:13
- Andyopinion
Liveramento will take minutes from Dedic, making Dedic risky long-term; Hall or Chow are safer.
Morgan Gibbs-White as FPL midfielder37:03
- Andyopinion
Gibbs-White is a good set-and-forget option but underlying creativity stats are underwhelming; not essential.
