GK: Emiliano Martinez (Chelsea)
- GW4 fixture: Hull (H)
Emiliano Martinez was one of the big signings of the transfer window for Chelsea. The Argentine came straight in to face Brighton and Hove Albion and Arsenal after signing from Aston Villa over summer. He ranks second for saves (12), despite playing just two games for the Blues, who are among the favourites to keep a clean sheet in Gameweek 4 for the visit of promoted Hull City.
DEF: Gabriel & Ezri Konsa (Arsenal)
- GW4 fixture: Sunderland (A)
Arsenal have started this season in the same rich vein of clean sheet form as they ended their title winning 2025/26 campaign. They’ve conceded one goal in three games, keeping two clean sheets and conceding just one big chance on their goal. Gabriel has had two big chances on goal already, while Ezri Konsa represents great value at just £4.4 million.
DEF: James Justin (Leeds)
- GW4 fixture: Newcastle (H)
Leeds United have invested heavily in their defence for this campaign, with goalkeeper James Trafford and centre-back Tarik Muharemovic among the new arrivals. James Justin is among their highest scoring assets to date, having hit the defensive contribution bonus in two of his three appearances. He’s also picked up two bonus points.
DEF: Pedro Porro (Tottenham)
- GW4 fixture: Everton (H)
Tottenham Hotspur kept their first clean sheet of the campaign against Nottingham Forest last time out. It sees stocks in full-back Pedro Porro on the rise ahead of a pair of home games against Everton and Aston Villa. He’s averaged over seven goal involvements in his last four seasons at the club, topping the charts among defenders for shots to date with six.
MID: Bruno Guimaraes (Arsenal)
- GW4 fixture: Sunderland (A)
Arsenal have some promising upcoming fixtures following their potential banana skin against an in-form Chelsea side. They have trips to Sunderland and Brighton before hosting Leeds in Gameweek 6. There’s hope that Bruno Guimaraes can bed into the middle of the park, after 16 goal involvements in a Newcastle United shirt last season.
MID: Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (Everton)
- GW4 fixture: Tottenham (A)
Fantasy managers are sleeping on Everton assets in this campaign who are unbeaten to date, with two wins and a draw, plus five goals scored. The departure of Iliman Ndiaye to Manchester City opens up set-pieces, including penalties, with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall having the potential to capitalise. He already has a goal this season.
MID: Anton Stach (Leeds)
- GW4 fixture: Newcastle (H)
Leeds have had an intriguing start to the season, with Anton Stach their star performer. He scored the winning goal against Nottingham Forest in Gameweek 1, hitting defensive contribution bonus in two thirds of his appearances. In Gameweek 3, he topped the charts among all players for corners, highlighting his creativity within the game.
MID/FWD: Cole Palmer & Joao Pedro (Chelsea)
- GW4 fixture: Hull (H)
Chelsea attackers are top of the agenda in Gameweek 4 and beyond, with a home game against promoted Hull. Cole Palmer has the highest ceiling, given that he is on penalties, with two goals and one assist this season. Joao Pedro has a leading four goal involvements, with this pair level on 21 fantasy points.
FWD: Erling Haaland (Man City)
- GW4 fixture: Man Utd (A)
Erling Haaland has been incredibly consistent so far this season. Three goals in three games makes the Norwegian the highest-scoring forward in the game. Haaland has picked up the maximum three bonus points in each of the games he’s scored in. And he leads the way among all players for shots on target (eight), shots in the box (13), big chances (five) and Expected Goals (2.47).
Here’s the optimal team in full, with Sven Botman (£5.0m) a worthy first substitute in this 4-4-2 formation. The optimal team will change constantly through the week as more information arises. Check the current version as a Fantasy Football Hub member.
