If you\u2019re in a rush and need some last-minute Fantasy Premier League (FPL) advice, here\u2019s a quick round-up of what you need to know about Gameweek 4.<\/p>\n

WHEN\u2019S THE FPL GAMEWEEK 4 DEADLINE?<\/p>\n

All transfers and team selections need to be done by 11:00 BST on Saturday 13 September.<\/p>\n

INTERNATIONAL ACTION\"FPL<\/p>\n

It feels like forever since the last deadline, right? Since that late August deadline, it\u2019s been all about late transfers, injuries and international football.<\/p>\n

Our highly-regarded minutes tracker can help managers assess the readiness of particular players, just like the seven lessons learnt<\/a> article.<\/p>\n

Managers should check out the press conference updates<\/a>, as Cole Palmer (\u00a310.4m), William Saliba (\u00a36.1m), Matheus Cunha (\u00a38.0m) and Ismaila Sarr (\u00a36.5m) had to withdraw from national squads.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for Lateriser, he\u2019d just bought the latter two ahead of Gameweek 3. He\u2019s therefore searching for midfield replacements<\/a>, liking unanimous Scout Squad pick<\/a> Antoine Semenyo (\u00a37.4m) and one of Everton\u2019s options \u2013 something we\u2019ve delved deeper into<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Jack Grealish (\u00a36.8m) is liked by \u2018Buy, Keep or Sell\u2019<\/a>, Iliman Ndiaye (\u00a36.5m) takes penalties, and the cheap Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (\u00a35.0m) is on lots of set-pieces<\/a>.<\/p>\n

DEADLINE DAY SIGNINGS + A NEW BOSS\"FPL<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been almost two weeks since transfer deadline day, as FPL managers immediately diverted their attention to Xavi Simons<\/a> (\u00a37.0m), Nick Woltemade<\/a> (\u00a37.0m) and Harvey Elliott<\/a> (\u00a35.4m).<\/p>\n

A bunch of Scout Reports have been compiled:<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve seen a controversial managerial change, too. Out goes Nuno Espirito Santo, replaced at Nottingham Forest by attack-minded Ange Postecoglou<\/a> \u2013 is that bad news for their defensive assets? Zophar gives his opinion<\/a>.<\/p>\n

TIME FOR A CHIP?\"FPL<\/p>\n

Combine the above factors and some will feel Gameweek 4 is a good time to Wildcard.<\/p>\n

Scout\u2019s three squad drafts focus on premium pair Mohamed Salah (\u00a314.5m) and Erling Haaland (\u00a314.1m). One is Salah-only, another is Haaland-only, while there\u2019s also an attempt to squeeze both in.<\/p>\n

As mentioned in \u2018The Great and the Good\u2019<\/a>, FPL General used his own Wildcard in Gameweek 3 and still commits to having neither.<\/p>\n

Two other drafts come from Zophar<\/a>, where one plots a Gameweek 6 Free Hit when Haaland is at home to Burnley. Whereas the current \u2018Haaland, no Salah\u2019 owners may Free Hit right now<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a longer-term look<\/a> at possible chip strategies.<\/p>\n

BEST FPL GAMEWEEK 4 CAPTAIN\"Who<\/p>\n

Mohamed Salah is the recommended armband recipient of both Captain Sensible<\/a> and our Rate My Team (RMT) algorithm<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Also liked are Erling Haaland, Jean-Philippe Mateta (\u00a37.5m) and Viktor Gyokeres (\u00a39.0m).<\/p>\n

TEAM REVEALSSCOUT PICKS + DIFFERENTIALS<\/p>\n

Our weekly selection \u2013 which is essentially a Free Hit in all but name \u2013 goes understandably heavy on Liverpool and Crystal Palace.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Joining Harvey Elliott and Lucas Paqueta (\u00a35.9m) in the trio of differential picks<\/a> is Adrien Truffert (\u00a34.5m). No defender has accumulated more successful crosses (five), says our Big Numbers piece<\/a>.<\/p>\n

PREDICTED LINE-UPS<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve predicted the starting XIs<\/a> of all 20 Premier League teams.<\/p>\n

Whatever you decide to do, good luck with FPL Gameweek 4!<\/p>\n
