The Complete Guide to FPL Gameweek 4: Tips, captains, team news and best players

From Scout Picks to team news, you’ll fund everything you need for Gameweek 4 of Fantasy Premier League (FPL) on this page.

There is plenty for managers to consider ahead of Saturday’s deadline.

It was a nightmare weekend for last season’s top trio, starting with Chelsea’s 3-0 capitulation at Leeds United and the fourth goal in three matches for Rodrigo (£6.3m). Then, a fantastic game saw Manchester City rescue a point at Newcastle United after going 3-1 down, with Liverpool’s Monday night loss to Manchester United leaving them still without a win.

Rotation might be ramping up a gear soon, too, with three Gameweeks in the space of seven days upon us.

We’ll be collating all of our content for the upcoming Gameweek on this page to help with your transfer dilemmas and chip-related conundrums, so make sure to keep checking back for the latest articles ahead of the FPL deadline on Saturday 27 August at 11:00 BST.
