Is triple Chelsea attack worth it? FPL gameweek four dilemmas
With Fantasy Premier League entering gameweek four, BBC Sport expert Holly Shand sets out several transfer and strategy dilemmas facing managers, from whether to double or even triple up on Chelsea's misfiring-no-more attack to which Liverpool and Newcastle forwards represent better value. The debate matters because managers holding chips such as Wildcards or Free Hits face key decisions this week, with player form, fixtures and price all weighing on the calculations.
Chelsea's Joao Pedro (£7.7m), owned by 72.5% of managers, looks a strong hold given the club have already scored eight goals this season and host promoted Hull City next, while Cole Palmer (£9.6m) and Morgan Rogers (£7.6m) also impressed off the bench in the Carabao Cup. Elsewhere, Liverpool's Cody Gakpo (£7.3m) is gameweek four's most-bought player but is now an injury doubt, making Newcastle's Alexander Isak (£9.1m) — with three goals in two games — a tempting alternative, while Manchester United pair Bruno Fernandes (£12m) and Bryan Mbeumo (£7.9m), and Arsenal's defence, including Ezri Konsa (£4.4m), are also highlighted as good options.
