EPL GW-4 Review: How Did You Do?

Following the conclusion of FPL GW-4, the Premier League is skipping a weekend for the international break. Let’s review some of Round Four’s highlights while we wait for GW-5 to roll around in almost two weeks’ time.

In GW-4, 88.76% of the top 250,000 FPL managers selected Erling Haaland (£14.1m) as their captain, making him the overwhelmingly favorite choice for the armband. In the 5-1 victory over Fulham, the Man City attacker certainly did not disappoint, recording a hattrick and a whopping 20 FPL points.

That was the same payout produced by Son Heung-Min (£9.1m), who also netted three goals in Tottenham’s 5-2 victory over Burnley. Long dormant, Son had support from just 0.21% of the top 250,000.

Brighton’s Evan Ferguson (£5.9m) also scored three times, but seemed to receive relatively little notice.

My GW-4 FPL Results

85 pts isn’t bad. I’ve been having a smooth ride in FPL for some time now, and I’m just hoping it stays that way.

As we all saw, defenders did us dirty in GW-4, with only two clean sheets registered this past weekend. As we’ve come to expect, Udogie came bearing gifts in the form of an assist, but the rest of my defenders flopped. My midfielders were better, all returning decent points. I’d have been a lot happier if I’d had Son, but before the GW-4 deadline I did trade out Eze for JWP, which worked in my favour. Like virtually ever other manager in the game, I captained Halaand, and the Norwegian made my week by banging in a hattrick.

Moving forward, I will probably look to ship out some players like Henry, Semenyo, and Mo Salah, as they are just not providing the points I need to see from them.
