Predicted Line-ups and FPL Team News Gameweek 4
If you can’t do something properly don’t bother doing it at all…
The above title is a bit of a motto of FF247. And it sort of explains why we used to do this article but then suddenly stopped. The truth of the matter is that it simply became too much work for the team. Following every word of every press conference and then analysing that info and translating it into a line-up… twenty times, was quite frankly a bit too time consuming. The knock on effect was that it also pulled some key personnel away from the site on a Thursday and Friday. So we got into a situation whereby we had RMT’s stacking up and nobody to answer them! Would you rather the likes of Smash, GP and Init be stuck behind a computer waiting to report on information that you could simply Google or see on Twitter for yourself or would you prefer them to be on site answering your very own specific FPL question? In some cases it would be the former but hey ho….
However… it seems that this was always our most viewed article each week. Yep, we’d send our team out each week to research and write thousands of words and it turns out that people would rather just look at a picture of a team sheet with their FPL player of choice on it! Don’t worry, we get it, we do it ourselves.
As such we always wanted to bring it back… but without the hassle. Over the past 18 months we have had offers from other websites to share their info but we never landed on one that we trusted had done their due diligence. We would never present something to you that we didn’t trust in. During the Euros though we found a common ground amongst the team who were all using, and somewhat trusting, Drafthound with their line-ups. Turns out they do FPL ones too! Having researched their accuracy Init & Mito both declared them to be over 95% accurate, which is bloody good in that particularly precarious game of managerial mind games, subterfuge and downright lies.
To make something of a mockery of our above statement of doing stuff yourself we are therefore delighted to delegate all responsibilty to our new partners in the weekly game of Guess Who.
Quite how this article will look in a few weeks is anybody’s guess but we are starting it out as simple as possible with just the line-ups as predicted by Drafthound and as ever we shall take it from there and it will no doubt evolve over time so just bear with us on that journey.
Two things to bear in mind;
- We trust Drafthound. They will have done their research into all this, especially given what they do, just as we used to, but these things are a ‘best guess’ exercise at best. Usual leeway should be accounted for, etc.
- Given their time and effort in providing this content for us it would be rude not to occasionally click on the Drafthound link and check out their own fabulous content as there are FPL articles aplenty on there too.

With only having 1ft I’m going to roll and go with this however I feel a bit unsure about not getting Ronaldo in. Right decision?
Yes it’s fine. No worries at all. I’m currently dithering between Salah or Bruno for the captaincy.
If it all goes wrong we can sob in each other’s arms tomorrow.
Thanks FF247
Thanks Drafthound
Very nicely presented. You even made it easier by including the prices. Appreciated
I really like it MHD. The win and over 2 goals percentage chance is very interesting too.
+1. It’s really great for checking on chancey low-price players.
It’s going to be a crazy GW! Just hope I am set with this team.
I am thinking of using my transfer to swap out Pogba for Jota. Or should I just carry the FT?
If I had the Pog I’d be inclined to play him. I can see the appeal of Jota though – I’m sure when the dust settles at the end of this season he’ll end up being one of the best value players.
Carry.
I think I’d carry that. Pogba’s the sort of posing pony / lapdog who will raise his game with Ronnie there. Coattails / back-page pics in (his) mind etc.
Damned with faint praise there.
Kralin, GP, Init, thanks. Pogba stays. I can see him having a big game depending on where Ole uses him.
I don’t suppose Pogba is the type to pay much attention to where he is supposed to play, it’s more just where he feels like playing with him! Tomorrow it’ll be about 10 yards away from wherever Ronaldo is
Solid side. Perhaps Benrahma, Sarr or Traore for Raphinha for this week if you think he might be out this weekend and then swap back. But understand if you think it’s booking in wasted transfers.
Reply fail to hammers on the previous page.
Evening all.
1 or 2 better?
The 1st on has money for Sarr to Raph, the 2nd might leave me a benching headache.
Option 2
1 for the very reason you stated Gear!
Cheers buddy
Wildcard reveal anyone?
Yeah go on then if you’ve played it.
Yeah, go on then, you first
Ta-dah
You sure about Odegaard? I like the rest
He’s my punt!
In all honesty, in direct answer to your question, ‘no’.
Any suggestions Gear?
Take the Gallagher kid from Palace.
I’d look at similarly priced defenders GP and see if you like the cut of any of their jibs – just bend the machinery a bit.
Yeah, agree with Init, Gallagher is a better bet
He and Dallas are on my shortlist actually but Conor’s next two are tough eh?
Kralin ….. go on …… I’m all ears..
Shaw. Rüdiger. Digne. For starters. A punt on Walker. You get the drift.
Thanks Kralin,
I do fancy Shaw I got to say but I can’t seem to get him.
Shame. Your side will be better balanced – in the sense you won’t have too many passengers – if you rotate Ronaldo and Lukaku.
Shhhhh….sugar, that looks good GP! Good luck wi it!
Oh yeah Odegaard. Don’t worry, GP’s just setting up for the very near future! Just watch Auba get going this weekend!
It looks nice and neat
Is that your final captaincy decision GP?
THAT I am sure about Ivan.
Brave but could turn out to be a smasher…
Best of luck
