<\/a>Top forward pick for Gameweek 4<\/b><\/h2>\n

In our Differential Duel<\/em> feature, we look for a player who scores well on our system but is not being selected by most FPL managers.<\/p>\n

We will then pit that player against a comparable asset who is being widely selected and it\u2019s on you to make the all-important final decision.<\/p>\n

Ahead of Gameweek 4, we take a closer look at Nottingham Forest’s Taiwo Awoniyi (3.1% ownership) and Joao Pedro of Brighton (18.6%)<\/p>\n

Awoniyi might cost a little more but, if you can find the budget to bring him in, he could prove to be a very astute signing. Goals in seven consecutive Premier League games for Nottingham Forest have made people sit up and take notice a bit in recent weeks and, with Brighton facing some really tough fixtures in the coming weeks, Pedro could be the perfect player to exit your squad.<\/p>\n

Here’s how their per 90 stats from 2022\/23 compare on our Comparison Matrix<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
