FPL Gameweeks 4-6 rotation risk: How much rest does each team get?

The first midweek round of Premier League fixtures is drawing ever closer and for Fantasy Premier League (FPL) managers, so is the spectre of rotation.

It’s been a relatively serene affair so far in 2022/23, with all bar UEFA Europa Conference League entrants West Ham United enjoying ample recovery time in between their league matches. As a result, starting XIs have been relatively settled.

The real unpredictable business starts after Gameweek 4, however, with two more Gameweeks following in quick succession.

Beyond that, the six or seven English sides involved in European club competition will play twice a week, every week – with the exception of the late-September international break – up until the Premier League halts for the World Cup.

There’ll be plenty of coverage on packed schedules and rotation risks on these pages over the coming days, weeks and months, then, and we’ll start with a look at turnaround times between the league fixtures in Gameweeks 4-6.

        you seem to be missing Salah .. template 6/10

      • FOO FIGHTER
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        No midfield

      • rossweiruk

        you need to fix on one keeper sanchez or raya.

        Midfield needs something. Do you have anything in the bank?

      • Neevesy
        • 8 Years

        5/10, not a fan of the loaded defence at all. What's the TV? Only one premium.

      GW4 captain:
      A)Jesus

      1. Siva Mohan
        • 12 Years

        B or D

        1. They are eating the dogs
          • 2 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          I mistakenly used Haaland twice. One of them was suppose to be Salah.

      3. FOO FIGHTER
        • 5 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Salah will have the highest EO

        1. AC/DC AFC
          • Fantasy Football Scout Member
          • 9 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          probably Jesus will

      4. Stranger Mings
        • 4 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Salah

    3. Skogen89

      Maddison to diaz or save?

      1. Siva Mohan
        • 12 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        he will score at Bridge .. keep

        1. Skogen89

          Hm maybe, but Leicester looked really bad last game . Tough decision

          1. Samsonite
            • 2 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            I have the same dilemma. Touch choice. But I also don’t have any pool assets which will probably sway me

      2. Bluetiger1
        • 2 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        Keep Maddison - playing well in a poor Leicester start to season

      I feel like chicken tonight, like chicken tonight.

          I member that commercial

      2. Zimo
        • 6 Years
        2 years, 3 months ago

        I can see a Sterling brace this weekend to upset the template even more. I'd be surprised if Chelsea don't look to get a thumping result against Leicester after that loss.

        1. Hy liverpool
          • 10 Years
          2 years, 3 months ago

          They are going to sign 44 players before next gw.

          1. @persecuted_by_mods
              2 years, 3 months ago

              44 defenders

            Sad for him if it happens. Last thing you want is an injury having just joined a new club

            One thing is for sure.
            Chelsea won't keep a clean sheet

          4. Bluetiger1
            • 2 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Leicester seem weak at corners - if Chelsea can apply finishes from these this I feel is where the goalscorers will come from over the weekend!

          Sorry to repost but virtually bottom

          A. Ramsdale to Sanchez to free some cash
          B. Neto to Aaronson/Gross and which one?
          C. Reed to Gilmour to gain 0.1

          1. Siva Mohan
            • 12 Years

            B. Aaronson

            B ) both looked good, but would prefer rodrigo from Leeds and no double up. So gross maybe, great fix coming up

          3. Bluetiger1
            • 2 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            B - Aaronson

        3. Sandy Ravage

          Let's talk about Jack Harrison

          1. @persecuted_by_mods
              2 years, 3 months ago

              Jack David Harrison is an English professional footballer who plays as a winger for Premier League club Leeds United. He has also represented England U21. He was selected as the #1 overall pick in the 2016 MLS SuperDraft and was rated as the second best player in MLS under the age of 24 the same year

            • FOO FIGHTER
              • 5 Years
              2 years, 3 months ago

              Spurs and Newcsstle apparently interested.

            • Siva Mohan
              • 12 Years
              2 years, 3 months ago

              played for Liverpool, Man Utd & Man City

            • Weasel Boy
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              2 years, 3 months ago

              Good pick.
              Probably bringing in next week for a Leeds double/triple up

          2. The Pep Revolution
            • 13 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Can I please get some thoughts on this WC team?

            Pope Ward
            James Concelo Trippier Saliba NWilliams
            KDB Martinelli Zaha Gros Rodrigo
            Haaland Jesus Toney

            1. Siva Mohan
              • 12 Years
              2 years, 3 months ago

              benching headache week in week out

              1. The Pep Revolution
                • 13 Years
                2 years, 3 months ago

                True but it's nice to have a bench to rely on instead of bench fodder.

            2. Weasel Boy
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              2 years, 3 months ago

              Ditched Liverpool.
              I like it.

              With rotation a risk in the coming weeks its nice to have a strong bench

            3. Sun Jihai
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              2 years, 3 months ago

              Looks like a team built around GW3 and also who would you be benching beyond Neco?

            4. Big_Andy_GAWA
              • 13 Years
              2 years, 3 months ago

              No Liverpool ahead of BOU fixture!? 😮

            5. banskt
              • 11 Years
              2 years, 3 months ago

              Very similar to my WC team before GW3. Except I bought Sterling/Andreas instead of Zaha/Rodrigo in order to have Chelsea attack. However, the results of GW3 went against me. Both Zaha and Rodrigo scored more points than Sterling. I am rolling with the same team next week - saving my FT.

              However, going without Liverpool players is a huge risk. There is a tiny chance of an amazing rank if Liverpool continues to underwhelm, but the most likely outcome is a terrible rank if Liverpool start performing like previous years. I do not care if I get a terrible rank though. If you do care, my suggestion would be to keep Liverpool players since they are still highly owned.

            Have 2 FTs and no real dilemmas
            Any suggestions?

            Pope Ward
            TAA Cancelo James Zinc Neco
            Salah Kulu Martin Aaronson Dasilva
            Haaland Jesus Archer

            Thanks.

            1. Athletic Nasherbo
              • 7 Years
              2 years, 3 months ago

              Kulu to Diaz might be good with his two home games.

              But yeah not much you can do.

              Not sure James is worth it.

            2. banskt
              • 11 Years
              2 years, 3 months ago

              Burn the FT (yes, really!)

              (or, Dasilva to Andreas for the sake of more game time)

          4. Big_Andy_GAWA
            • 13 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Hi Folks,

            Start Neto (NEW) or Trippier (wol) this GW? Bookies favour Wolves (albeit very slightly) in the tie. I want to play Neto so have everyone playing at home:D

            Thanks.

            1. Weasel Boy
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              2 years, 3 months ago

              It'll probably be 0 - 0 so Trippier

            2. Stranger Mings
              • 4 Years
              2 years, 3 months ago

              Neto

            Sanchez (Ward)
            TAA Stones Gabriel X (Neco)
            Salah Martinelli X (Andreas) (Reed)
            Haaland Jesus X

            Fill in the gaps (not on wildcard)

            A. Kane, Rodrigo, Veltman
            B. Toney, Diaz, James

            What to do with this lot?

            TAA Cancelo James Cuca Neco
            Salah Marti Foden Gross Andreas
            Haaland Jesus Archer

            1 FT, 1.4 in bank.

            Obvious issues are the GK and Foden not passing to Haaland.

            Cheers for any help.

            1. Weasel Boy
              • Fantasy Football Scout Member
              • 12 Years
              2 years, 3 months ago

              Forden to Mount, Diaz Kulu?

              1. TorresMagic™
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member

                • 15 Years
                2 years, 3 months ago

                Very tempted by Mount for the next 2 as crazy as it sounds.

            2. Athletic Nasherbo
              • 7 Years
              2 years, 3 months ago

              Have to get rid of those GK’s.

              Iversen > Ramsdale

            3. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
              • 8 Years
              2 years, 3 months ago

              Upgrade one of the goalkeepers to begin with

                • Fantasy Football Scout Member

                • 15 Years
                2 years, 3 months ago

                Yeah, that's where the likely transfer goes.
                The hit is the tricky part.

                1. DARK SIDE OF THE LOON
                  • 8 Years
                  2 years, 3 months ago

                  Don't take a hit.

                2. LeSof
                  • 4 Years
                  2 years, 3 months ago

                  Take a hit. Did it myself, it hurt, but it’s time to rip the band-aid. Otherwise you’ll always find an excuse to not make the transfer

                3. Yank Revolution
                  • 13 Years
                  2 years, 3 months ago

                  Never fear the hit TM

            4. rossweiruk
              • 2 Years
              2 years, 3 months ago

              Bring in ramsdale for GK?

              Foden possibly to diaz?

              1. TorresMagic™
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member

                • 15 Years
                2 years, 3 months ago

                One of many options, cheers.

              Reckon Foden starts this match?

                2 years, 3 months ago

                No idea, probably. Depends on the midweek & if Mahrez & Grealish are ready to take over.

          7. Feanor
            • 15 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Hoping Mount doesn't go down tonight or tomorrow night so we can get these midweek matches out of the way before I dump him.

            Neto out. Who get in?

            Only have 5.4 million, so cannot do the likes of Groß

              Rest of team okay? Downgrade to bench fodder to bank a million quid?

              Would you not just be better playing Neto home to Newcastle? With Jiménez back I would give him another chance

              Yup, tougher decision if had 2FT. Can reassess next week depending on how Kane gets on against Forest

            1)Should I play Botman/Da Silva
            2) whom should I remove to use 1FT

              • 2 Years

              botman i'd play vs wolves, they've been pretty lack on the attacking.

              I'd look at getting rid of walker but thats my opinion 🙂

            Team for gameweek 4, thoughts? Pretty strong team i think 🙂

            Pope
            Perisic Trippier Cancelo Zinchenko
            Rodrigo KDB Odegaard
            Toney Haaland Jesus (C)

            Bench: Ward Zaha Hojbjerg Neco

            Would you keep Jesus as captain? my head says jesus but heart wants to go for KDB/Haaland or Odegaard

            1. Wenger 11
              • 5 Years
              2 years, 3 months ago

              Pretty strong
              You can do KDB-, Salah this week
              I would go with Jesus/Salah if you bring him in as captain

              1. rossweiruk
                • 2 Years
                2 years, 3 months ago

                i know Salah gets a lot of points but i'm just not a fan. Fancied a salah free team.

                1. Wenger 11
                  • 5 Years
                  2 years, 3 months ago

                  Haha okay.... Then Jesus as captain

            Would you WC this team? Or what would be your advice?
            Ward Iversen
            TAA Cancelo Walker Patterson (Neco)
            Salah KDB Neto Andreas (KDH)
            Kane Jesus (Greenwood)

            1. Athletic Nasherbo
              • 7 Years
              2 years, 3 months ago

              Walker > Saliba
              Iversen > Sanchez

              1. Athletic Nasherbo
                • 7 Years
                2 years, 3 months ago

                Alternatively can do the first move and upgrade KDH to Aaronson.

            So Iversen+Mount >> Sanchez+Kulu (-4)?

            Ward

            TAA Cancelo James Cucurella

            Salah Mount Martinelli Gross

              Nope. Just do the first.

            2. rossweiruk
              • 2 Years
              2 years, 3 months ago

              i would do that for -4 🙂

                • 2 Years

                Agree (-4) hit

          14. JamTart
            • 6 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            Rodrigo, Gundogan or Diaz for the next 5?

            Short term Diaz seems great given this week's opponent but he's been so deep and wide the past 3 games for his heat map.

            1. One for All
              • 6 Years
              2 years, 3 months ago

              Rodrigo

            2. banskt
              • 11 Years
              2 years, 3 months ago

              Gundogan.

              Plays for better team.

          15. umerlfc
            • 8 Years

            Neto to Gross? Can't afford Rodrigo

            • 9 Years
            2 years, 3 months ago

            So Emerson signing by West Ham from Chelsea confirmed- another 4 m defender but where will he fit in as surely Cresswell nailed

            1. @persecuted_by_mods
                2 years, 3 months ago

                Moyesiah going back to basics, defense first. 5 at the back

              How does this team look? Is Bailey> Rodrigo worth a -4.

              Sanchez

              TAA Saliba Zinchenko Cancelo

              Diaz KDB Kulusevski Bailey

              Haaland Jesus

              Ward Kilman Andreas Archer

                • 2 Years

                i would say yes if you have the money. Have you already done a FT?

                • 2 Years

                Yes

            3. TanN
              • 3 Years
              2 years, 3 months ago

              Current team:

              Meslier (Ward)
              TAA Cancelo James Zinchenko Trippier
              Salah Diaz Martinelli (Dasilva Andreas)
              Haaland Jesus (Plange)

              Thoughts?

              My options are...
              1) Trent + Andreas --> Perisic + Rodrigo (-4)
              2) Do nothing and then WC next gw
              3) Use my 1 FIT somewhere
              3) WC this gw

                you're wildcarding into most of those.

                Just be patient.

                Fine to roll this week? Planning to have a play around next week

                Ederson
                TAA Cancelo James Cucurella Tripps

                  Why is Maddison on the bench?

                2. Bluetiger1
                  • 2 Years
                  2 years, 3 months ago

                  Play Maddison

              4. Better Call Raul
                • 5 Years
                2 years, 3 months ago

                How do I get Perisic in here?

                1FT 0itb

                Sanchez-(Ward)
                TAA-Robbo-Cancelo-James-Neco
                Salah-Saka-Martinelli-(Andreas)(4.5)
                Haaland-Jesus-(4.5)

                Possibly:

                Cancelo + Neco -> Perisic + Trippier (-4)?

                Not sure who I'd replace Saka with this week as obvious options have rough fixtures

                1. Herman Toothrot
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 12 Years
                  2 years, 3 months ago

                  Robertson to Perisic

                  1. Better Call Raul
                    • 5 Years
                    2 years, 3 months ago

                    Lose Robbo before Bournemouth at home? Not sure I could watch that match

                2. AC/DC AFC
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 9 Years
                  2 years, 3 months ago

                  James to Perisic is an easy route.

                  1. Better Call Raul
                    • 5 Years
                    2 years, 3 months ago

                    Again he has a fantastic fixture this week

                3. Sun Jihai
                  • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                  • 12 Years
                  2 years, 3 months ago

                  Neco + Saka to Perisic + Rodrigo?

                  1. Better Call Raul
                    • 5 Years
                    2 years, 3 months ago

                    It's tempting, but are you convinced A) scores more than B)?

                    A) Rodrigo(bha) + Perisic(nfo)
                    B) Saka(FUL) + Neco(TOT) +4

                  2. Bluetiger1
                    • 2 Years
                    2 years, 3 months ago

                    Good call

              5. Herman Toothrot
                • Fantasy Football Scout Member
                • 12 Years
                2 years, 3 months ago

                Everton are about to kick off against Fleetwood.

                Both Coleman and Paterson are starting. Sofascore has them as a back five but more likely 352. Coleman RCB, Paterson RWB.

                • 12 Years
                2 years, 3 months ago

                On a WC would you go

                A. Saliba

                B. Zinch.

                And why??

                1. rossweiruk
                  • 2 Years
                  2 years, 3 months ago

                  heart says Saliba but head says Zinch

                  I'm sticking with Zinchenko, just feel like he will get some goals/assists soon.

                2. Bluetiger1
                  • 2 Years
                  2 years, 3 months ago

                  B. Zinch

                  he can play LCB/LB & CM with more chances to score plus clean sheets like Saliba on top
