The Scout is tipping four players for big success in Gameweek 4 of 2026\/27 Fantasy Premier League<\/a> ahead of Saturday’s 13:30 BST deadline, to help managers gain an edge over their mini-league rivals.<\/p>\n

Alexander Isak (Liverpool) \u00a39.1m<\/p>\n

Isak featured in our very first Transfer Radar of 2026\/27<\/a>, back in Gameweek 1.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Since then, he’s scored three goals in as many matches and sits just one FPL point behind the much pricier Erling Haaland (\u00a315.5m) among forwards.<\/p>\n

If you didn’t take the plunge on the Liverpool star back then, this week is a good time to reconsider him.<\/p>\n

Saturday’s opponents Fulham are still without a clean sheet and have conceded seven goals across the opening three Gameweeks.<\/p>\n

The Cottagers’ total of 14 big chances conceded is the most in the Premier League, while their Expected Goals Against (xGA) tally of 6.24 is the second-highest.<\/p>\n

Morgan Rogers (Chelsea) \u00a37.6m<\/p>\n

With the difficult trip to Arsenal out of the way, Chelsea’s favourable fixture run begins now.<\/p>\n

And while unbeaten Hull City may provide strong resistance based on their early-season exploits, the visit of the Tigers in Gameweek 4 kicks off an appealing 10-match stretch for Xabi Alonso’s side.<\/p>\n

Most of those contests fare well in the Fixture Difficulty Ratings (FDR)<\/a>, with one being the easiest possible match and five being the hardest.<\/p>\n

With plenty of money needed to buy Cole Palmer (\u00a39.6m), Rogers could be a sensible, cheaper route into Chelsea’s free-scoring attack.<\/p>\n

No Premier League player can better the former Aston Villa star’s total of 10 chances created this season.<\/p>\n

Indeed, he registered four assists coming off the bench in Wednesday night’s 6-3 victory over Leeds United in the EFL Cup.<\/p>\n

It’s not just about his assist potential, either.<\/p>\n

Rogers’ Expected Goal Involvement (xGI) tally of 2.31, split almost exactly between Expected Goals (xG) and Expected Assists (xA), is better than any of his team-mates. Even Joao Pedro (\u00a37.7m), with 2.01 xGI, and Palmer, with 1.42 xGI, can’t top that figure.<\/p>\n

Diego Gomez (Brighton) \u00a35.0m<\/p>\n

Brighton are another club with a favourable-looking fixture in Gameweek 4.<\/p>\n

Coventry City, winless and goalless following their return to the top flight, entertain the Seagulls this Sunday.<\/p>\n

Gomez stands out as a budget-friendly option for Fantasy managers seeking a Brighton attacker.<\/p>\n

Only FPL’s premium picks, Bruno Fernandes (\u00a312.0m) and Haaland, can better Gomez’s total of 12 shots over the first three Gameweeks.<\/p>\n

Eight of the Paraguayan’s 12 efforts have come from inside the box, too. Only two midfielders, the much more expensive Palmer and Bryan Mbeumo (\u00a37.9m), have registered more.<\/p>\n

Gomez’s low cost means that, if you were to bench him in Gameweek 5, when Brighton host Arsenal, you wouldn’t be taking much money out of your starting line-up.<\/p>\n

The attacking midfielder can then return to contention for your team in Gameweeks 6 and 7, when Fabian Hurzeler’s side face Sunderland and Crystal Palace.<\/p>\n

Ezri Konsa (Arsenal) \u00a34.4m<\/p>\n

A \u00a34.4m route into the Premier League’s tightest defence in each of the last three seasons is not to be passed up.<\/p>\n

It always seemed to be a question of when, and not if, Konsa would force his way into the Arsenal starting line-up, following his big-money move from Aston Villa.<\/p>\n

That moment came in Gameweek 3, when the England international was handed his full Gunners debut.<\/p>\n

While Arsenal didn’t keep a clean sheet, Konsa did bank defensive contribution points in the 2-1 win over Chelsea.<\/p>\n

And it’s just a matter of time before the budget defender registers his first shutout in Arsenal colours.<\/p>\n

After three Gameweeks, the Gunners already boast the league’s best record for the lowest xGA, with 0.93.<\/p>\n

All of their next five matches score three or less in the FDR, too.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Scout is tipping four players for big success in Gameweek 4 of 2026\/27 Fantasy Premier League ahead…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":766701,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[218,101,1602,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-766700","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-football","tag-sports","tag-text","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/766700","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=766700"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/766700\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/766701"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=766700"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=766700"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=766700"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
