Fantasy Premier League game week 4 has started with a bang. Let's take a look at top 5 midfielders to target for game week 4.
The start of Game week 4 in Fantasy Premier League (FPL) is marked by West Ham defeating Luton Town by the score line of 2:1. Manchester City go up against Fulham at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday evening, Liverpool and Aston Villa face off at Anfield on Sunday evening. The transfer deadline for this game week approaches on Friday, September 1st, at 11:00 pm IST. Whether any last-minute transfers inject excitement into the FPL landscape will become clear once the weekend concludes with the Arsenal vs. Manchester United match.
Midfielders are the heart of any good FPL team. Let’s take a look at top 5 midfielders to target for game week 4.
Fernandes has displayed flashes of his top form this season while playing for Manchester United, although his Fantasy Premier League (FPL) points don’t accurately mirror his performance. He currently leads the league in ‘big chances’ created, totaling four, yet he has only managed to secure one assist. It’s important to view Fernandes as a player who can perform consistently regardless of the fixtures. So, don’t let the upcoming tougher matches against Arsenal (away) and Brighton & Hove Albion (home) deter you. Beyond that, the schedule becomes more favorable until the challenging Manchester derby at Old Trafford in game week 10.
Saka’s owners breathed a sigh of relief when they witnessed him taking penalty duties for Arsenal, successfully converting one against Fulham in Gameweek 3. This development immediately elevates him as the most desirable Arsenal midfielder to have in your team. Considering how consistently he delivers attacking contributions, he’s not far from being the top midfielder in the entire league. His statistics in the first three gameweeks highlight his offensive attributes, having recorded nine shots on goal and nine key passes, highlighting his ability to threaten the opposition’s defense and create goal scoring opportunities.
Salah now often gets overlooked in the Fantasy Premier League, as many fantasy managers prefer to allocate their funds to other positions. However, we shouldn’t underestimate what Salah brings to the table in terms of reliability, as he’s among the select few who have consistently produced returns in all three game weeks. While his goal-scoring threat is evident, with 10 shots on target in three games, his creative skills that began in the preseason and has carried into recent weeks, getting two assists already.
In the competition among emerging midfielders, Maddison is currently leading the way. Since joining Tottenham Hotspur, he has established himself as their key player. Maddison has showed his playmaking abilities this season, registering nine crucial passes, resulting in two assists. Additionally, he leads number of entries into the penalty area with 41, with one of those leading to a goal in Gameweek 3. Considering Tottenham’s upcoming schedule, Maddison could be a valuable asset for the long term, as they are set to face three newly promoted teams in their next five matches.
Mbeumo has emerged as an unexpected standout this season, but those who analyzed his statistics from the previous season without Ivan Toney might not be shocked by his impressive start. He has managed to find the back of the net three times in three games. One notable advantage is his participation in set pieces, where he takes some corners and free kicks. Moreover, he has been successful from the penalty spot on two occasions. When looking at Brentford’s upcoming fixtures, the overall schedule appears favorable. They have some enticing home matches against Bournemouth, Everton, and Burnley, along with away trips to Newcastle United and Manchester United.
