Perez, Bernardo and Deulofeu among the benched FPL assets in Gameweek 4

Six Premier League matches kick off at 15:00 BST today, with Manchester City v Brighton and Hove Albion among the games taking place this afternoon.

A number of key Fantasy Premier League assets have dropped to the bench, one of whom is Bernardo Silva: the Portugal international is replaced on the right flank by Riyad Mahrez for the second time this season.

Rodri ousts Ilkay Gundogan from central midfield in Pep Guardiola’s only other change.

Raheem Sterling, Sergio Aguero, Oleksandr Zinchenko and Kevin De Bruyne all start.

Graham Potter has had a bit of a reshuffle, with Solly March joining the front three and Bernardo coming in at left wing-back.

Adam Webster replaces Shane Duffy at centre-half, while there is another start for Leandro Trossard.

Fikayo Tomori makes his first start for Chelsea in place of Andreas Christensen, who drops to the bench.

That is Frank Lampard’s only change, with opposite number Chris Wilder also making only one alteration: Oli McBurnie in for David McGoldrick.

Ayoze Perez has paid the price for a sluggish start to the season as he drops to the bench for Leicester’s match with Bournemouth.

Ben Chilwell, Wilfred Ndidi, Harvey Barnes and Marc Albrighton are recalled as Christian Fuchs, Hamza Choudhury and Dennis Praet also make way.

Harry Wilson in for Charlie Daniels is Eddie Howe’s only change.

Javi Gracia has made three changes from the West Ham defeat and appears to be going with a wing-back system: Jose Holebas, the injured Etienne Capoue and Gerard Deulofeu make way, with Christian Kabasele, Daryl Janmaat and Roberto Pereyra taking their places.

Amid all the injury talk at Newcastle, there are only two changes: Christian Atsu and Jetro Willems in for the sidelined Allan Saint-Maximin and Matt Ritchie.

West Ham have named an unchanged side from their win against Watford, while Daniel Farke has made just one alteration from Gameweek 3: Christoph Zimmermann replacing the injured Grant Hanley at centre-back.

Dean Smith and Roy Hodgson have named unchanged teams from Gameweek 3 as Crystal Palace take on Aston Villa at Selhurst Park.

Chelsea XI: Kepa, Azpilicueta, Zouma, Tomori, Emerson, Jorginho, Kovacic, Pulisic, Barkley, Mount, Abraham.

Sheffield Utd XI: Henderson, Basham, Egan, O’Connell, Baldock, Freeman, Norwood, Lundstram, Stevens, McBurnie, Robinson.

Leicester City XI: Schmeichel, Ricardo Pereira, Evans, Söyüncü, Chilwell, Ndidi, Albrighton, Tielemans, Maddison, Barnes, Vardy.

Bournemouth XI: Ramsdale, Mepham, Cook, Ake, Smith, H. Wilson, Billing, Lerma, Fraser, King, C. Wilson.

Manchester City XI: Ederson, Walker, Otamendi, Laporte, Zinchenko, Rodrigo, De Bruyne, D Silva, Sterling, Mahrez, Aguero.

Brighton XI: Ryan, Burn, Dunk, Webster, Montoya, Pröpper, Stephens, Bernardo, March, Maupay, Trossard.

Newcastle United XI: Dubravka, Schar, Lascelles, Dummett, Krafth, Hayden, Longstaff, Willems, Atsu, Joelinton, Almiron.

Watford XI: Foster, Dawson, Kabasele, Cathcart, Janmaat, Cleverley, Doucouré, Kiko Femenía, Hughes, Pereyra, Gray.

    5. Zladan

      5 years, 29 days ago

      I don’t think Tammy is really a casuals pick. Good fixtures, scored 2 last match, hit post v United.

      Reason enough to own him.

    Tammy doesn't pass the eye test though.

      Championship player who scores goals against Championship teams. Hence has scored against Norwich and Sheffield Utd.

      is it the hair?

    4. Bobby Digital

      Does too. Think he took that second goal pretty well last week. Hit the post with a screamer vs. Utd too.

    So many bugs and issues with the FPL app this year ffs

    1. Respect My Authoritah

      Try using"Fantasy football manager". It's an unofficial app, but it works a lot better.

    Casuals getting all the luck today!!

    1. Gnu

      Yep, United stealing a draw at Saints.

      I don't get all this 'causal' talk.
      The season has only begun.
      Because of that any form player has just begun thier 'form'
      Also those who did well the previous week have nice fixtures this week.

    Need Sterling & Mount G’s

    1. Collie01
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 7 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      Sterling playing poorly so far.

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 29 days ago

        Remember Watford last season... anonymous then hattrick out of nowhere

    2. The Big Fella
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      It doesn't really matter if Sterling scores or not - I'd be wanting all my fringe players to score (and I am)

      1. Maximus Bonimus Pointimus
        • 14 Years
        5 years, 29 days ago

        Probably fair, he must have a massive captaincy - but there’d be a good few Salah cappers out there surely

        1. The Big Fella
          • 8 Years
          5 years, 29 days ago

          Sterling 165% EO and Salah 95%. Obviously it is better if Sterling scores than doesn't but it won't affect your rank too much. I captained him and have Salah - you?

    Good man Tammy rocketing up the predicted rankings by the million!

  12. Ask Yourself
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 29 days ago

    These are the sorts of games West Ham keep random CSs. Should have known before going double norwich attack

    1. Wrong Captain Choice - Ag i…
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      So after less than 25 minutes you are already doubting two of the best value players in the game will not pay your faith back over the season?

  13. Rainer
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 29 days ago

    Looked scrappy, Pulisic touch deemed a shot by FPL, Tammy scored the rebound.

  14. Too Mane Men
    • 9 Years
    5 years, 29 days ago

    Kevsko!

  15. zedred
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 29 days ago

    Took out Vardy & Wilson this week :’(

    1. Pukki Blinders
      • 5 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      That's why you don't chase points!

      1. George Sillett
        • 8 Years
        5 years, 29 days ago

        He said he took them out . Didn't say who he brought in . How can you derive from that he is chasing points ?

        1. Pukki Blinders
          • 5 Years
          5 years, 29 days ago

          Makes sense, why else would you remove 2 underperforming players?

  16. Differentiator
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 29 days ago

    Mount playing like Messi would if Messi has no legs

  17. Albrightondknight
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 9 Years

    Haller owner and he should have got yellow but not even a free 🙂

  18. Respect My Authoritah

    1. Respect My Authoritah

  22. Albrightondknight

  25. Podge
    • 13 Years
    5 years, 29 days ago

    Changed cap from Haller back to Sterling this morning 🙁

    1. FPL Blow-In
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 11 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      It’s early mate. Sterling will likely get points.

  26. FPL Daniel
    • 15 Years
    5 years, 29 days ago

    My rival brought Tammy and captained him. Sterling is not his vice even. He has Sterling. I was smiling when I saw the teams past deadline, but guess who is smiling now. Well done my rival, brave move

  27. I'm out of name ideas
    • 7 Years
    5 years, 29 days ago

    Can someone explain to me which players have to score for 'casuals' to win and which have to score for 'pros' to win because I still don't understand.

    1. Warbling Wendy
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      The best part is that all of the obnoxious, aloof morons on here who say such things are just casuals who are spoon-fed info by this site, so they are hardly much better than the "casuals" they mock.

      1. IRBOX ⚽
        • 7 Years
        5 years, 29 days ago

        This 100%

    2. George Sillett
      • 8 Years
      5 years, 29 days ago

      Well said . It's a a trite phrase used by losers who don't own a goal scorer.

  28. Rainer
    • 8 Years
    5 years, 29 days ago

    Masuaku assist

  29. Wild Rover
