Wale's Team Reveal for FPL Gameweek 4
Captain: Mohamed Salah at Burnley
Vice Captain: Jean-Philippe Mateta vs. Sunderland
Transfers: Bukayo Saka, Marc Guiu > Josh King, Victor Gyökeres
After activating my free hit in Gameweek 3, my old team is back, and I have a few injuries to tend to. My projected transfer at this time will be to ship Bukayo Saka to Josh King, and use the excess funds to bring in Viktor Gyökeress for Marc Guiu.
There is a slight chance I will take a transfer hit to upgrade Ki-Jana Hoever to Tino Livramento, but the move depends on Cole Palmer's fitness level, who remains a doubt.
Jamie's Team Reveal for FPL Gameweek 4
Captain: Jack Grealish vs. Aston Villa
Vice Captain: Florian Wirtz at Burnley
Transfers: Roll
After back-to-back big weeks to start the season, my team suffered a below-average gameweek before the international break. For now, I'm not looking to push the panic button and make too many changes.
My one concern is Hugo Ekitiké (£8.7m) seeing fewer starts (or asked to play a different role) following Liverpool's eventual signing of Alexander Isak (£10.4m). For now, I'm rolling with the lineup, which includes Ekitiké.
Looking forward, I may swap the Liverpool forwards, and to ensure I can afford that, I will sacrifice one of my Nottingham Forest midfielders. I want to ensure I keep some money in reserve to bring back Bukayo Saka (£9.9m) when he's back from injury.
Bringing in Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (£5.0m) for Dan Ndoye (£6.1m) would enable me to make the changes I'm considering. However, it would leave me with two Everton midfielders, which doesn't seem optimal. It feels like I'll hold on until next week and roll my free transfer over.
One week ago today...

Euan's Team Reveal for FPL Gameweek 4
Captain: Mohamed Salah at Burnley
Vice Captain: Jean-Philippe Mateta vs. Sunderland
Transfers: Erling Haaland, Cole Palmer > Mohamed Salah, Joao Pedro
I've been on Erling Haaland since Gameweek 1, and it feels like the right time to pivot to Mohamed Salah. The Egyptian winger has Burnley and Everton in his next two contests, whereas his Norwegian rival meets Man United and Arsenal.
I may need to reverse those transfers in a couple of weeks when Haaland meets Burnley, but that could also be a week when I activate my Free Hit chip to cover City's assets. I have three free transfers this week, but only using two allows me more flexibility in the future.
The other players I could see myself removing with the final transfer are Ismaila Sarr or Pedro Porro. The Crystal Palace midfielder picked up a hamstring injury in Gameweek 3. Meanwhile, Porro has been a little underwhelming, and the addition of Xavi Simons could remove his set-piece upside.
