FPL Team Gameweek 4
Welcome to FPL Team Gameweek 4
So long ago was it that gameweek 3 ended, that your author genuinely couldn’t remember if it was good, bad or indifferent for our team. As it turns out, ‘good’ is the appropriate description, as we were yet again respectably above the average score with our second consecutive 69 – placing us contently at 456,916 overall. OK so not front page news, exactly, but we haven’t totally blown it already (he crosses fingers and toes and touches the nearest wood).
Our 15 points above the average score in Gameweek 3 was built upon a captaincy success in the form of Jamaican international and ‘Ballon d’Or in waiting’ Michail Antonio with his 22-point haul. This was supplemented in attack by Toney (6) eventually getting off the mark with his first strike of the season at Villa and the customary goal from DCL (9) which was sweetened further by his maximum three point bonus.
Mohamed Salah and his penalty against Chelsea carried our midfield as his ten points were miles ahead of the raft of ‘2s’ we had in there. We’d have more in the back too, had our goalkeeper Bachmann (4) not made so many saves, nor Trent (4) picked up some bonus.
Shaw (6) kept a clean sheet when Wolves blanked (again) in front of goal, which rounded off the week fairly nicely.
Our Gameweek 3 Result…
Let’s go see what was decided…
AND YEAH, LET’S BE UP FRONT AND TELL YOU …. WE HAVE … OR WE PLAN TO!
Our Gameweek 4 Transfer(s)
On Tuesday morning, the discussion (after the screenshots were duly posted) was:
“Ronaldo then first, Y (yes) or N (no)?”
The WhatsApp response?
Y
Y
Y
Y
Y
Your author hadn’t even had the chance to type his own ‘Y’ and the buzz of the phone notification almost knocked it off the coffee table!
CR7 is in then….
None of us could realistically part with either Antonio or DCL – hold that thought – and so, therefore, Toney was the sacrificial lamb and he departs with his solitary goal, with a thanks and a shoulder shrug from us all .. “It’s Ronaldo pal, best wishes in the future” etc.
How to make up the cash then (with two free transfers)? Salah stays, obviously, so it was United team mate Bruno Fernandes who was the only realistic option to downgrade. Seems odd taking him out ahead of a match against Newcastle but these are crazy times and we think collectively that we’re probably betting on the correct United horse long term.
With Salah, Trent and Tsimikas on board already, Jota was a no-go – so we narrowed the debate down to Ferran Torres or Ferran Torres. In fact, only Ismaila Sarr and Mason Mount were mentioned in opposition and the Spaniard quickly attained the requisite number of votes to be our transfer number two.
To confirm then, we are currently selling BRUNO FERNANDES & IVAN TONEY and buying FERRAN TORRES & CRISTIANO RONALDO
This is dependent on good news on DCL and any other of our players who may be mentioned over the course of Friday.
Captain – CRISTIANO RONALDO
This is also up for finalising, but it is likely that, for old time’s sake, we back the new/old guy. Although, with Salah at Leeds and Antonio serving us well just past, you will need to stay tuned to the site tomorrow evening, when we announce our finalised transfers and captain after the press conferences have concluded.
*** UPDATE KLAXON – – – UPDATE KLAXON ***
With no major team news today, or certainly nothing to deter us from our plan, we have cracked on with the above and have ended up with the below…

Coady or Dier or another 4.6?
Rest of defence is :
TAA, Ayling, (Livra, Duffy)
Coady is pretty reliable (to play) and Dier is good too. I think he will take some shifting out of the team even though they have signed new defenders.
You have White of Arsenal as well and some of the Brentford defenders.
I believe the link to site team belongs to some other team = Issa (H.O.E.V.E.R)
The Son news is not helping me today. I guess the silver linings is I have 2 FT as I’ve been waiting all week on his Status. So what to do?
A. Stick to plan: Bruno>Jota & Ings>CR7 (bench Son and deal next week)
B. Bruno>Jota, Ings>CR7 and Son>Torres/Ben for -4
C. Son>Jota (Bring in CR7 and such later)
D. Son>Ben (Bring in CR7 later)
I really want to send Ings off as his fixtures are terrible and unless I deal Bruno there are no funds for CR7. I have a feeling that his price will rise rather quickly after this GW. Thoughts?
Team photo below.
ODT, Ronaldo’s price will rice after midnight on Saturday. My plan is to get him immediately after the start of GW4.
Ings is getting one last chance before he goes. Last year in the same fixture he scored.
Therefore, B looks good with an option to go for Torres if you want.
Hey gents. Hope your teams are coming along… Son a doubt for me so wondering what I should do… what do you think? 1ft and 0.2itb. Cheers!
Son>Jota maybe but I hear DCL is a big issue too so maybe you should deal with that first and Son next week. Or get crazy with a -4 and do Son>Gray (you’ll have 4.6 ITB) and then DCL>CR7/Lukaku (you’ should still have .2 or more ITB after that). Just some of my initial thoughts looking at your team.
Unfortunately you have to deal with Tsimikas sometime as he’ll stop you getting Jota.
Yep. Missed that he had 3 pool players already.
Sanchez, you can bench Son and save the FT or do something with DCL like ODT said.
Move Tsimi first on the bench. The latest rumours are that he could start instead of Robertson.
Thanks lads, the smart move may be to hold the transfer and see how the injuries play out… only thing is a few of the price rises tonight will put a wrench in some potential moves, so the other option is to WC now to get Ronnie in and rearrange team majorly tho that does seem a tad rash… f’n Ronnie
Cpt Lukaku or Ronaldo?
Hi all. I wanted to avoid using my wildcard this week and got through the first week of international break without biting the bullet but I succumbed to the peer pressure of my work colleagues and friends spouting on about wildcarding so I decided to do it! I’m torn between Benrahma and Raphina in midfield as I had Benrahma but I feel with Raphina, I have a lot more team coverage as I have Antonio. Any comments suggestions are appreciated. Best of luck everyone.
I think you could squeeze a bit of cash from your bench and pump up the main 11
Toyed around with it Gear. Would like DCL but doubts around his fitness so currently on this going with Ings
