FPL GW4 Predicted Lineups

Arsenal

Arsenal GW4 Predicted formation: 4-3-3

Arsenal GW4 Predicted lineup: 

David Raya

Timber – Mosquera – Gabriel – Calafiori

Odegaard – Zubimendi – Rice

Madueke – Gyokeres – Eze

Notes/Injury Updates:

• Bukayo Saka has been ruled out with a hamstring injury.
• Saliba was subbed off in the GW3 fixture vs Liverpool after just 5 minutes, and he is expected to be out for 3-4 weeks. Mosquera came on to replace him and did a good job, so he should hold on to his place.
• Eze should replace Martinelli after getting a cameo in GW3.
• Arsenal are hoping Ben White could return to the squad this weekend after missing the last two games.

Aston Villa

Aston Villa GW4 Predicted formation: 

• 4-3-3/4-4-2

Aston Villa GW4 Predicted Lineup:

Martinez

Cash – Mings – Konsa – Maatsen

McGinn – Tielemans

Elliott – Rogers- Guessland

Watkins

Aston Villa Notes/Injury Updates:

• Boubacar Kamara is likely to miss this week with a hamstring injury, as per reports. He missed GW2 as well.
• Onana also missed GW3 and internationals after he sustained a hamstring injury during training. Watch out for Press Conference updates to know more about Onana and Kamra
• New signing Harvey Elliott could directly replace Malen in the starting lineup.
• Sancho is also an option to play ahead of Guessland, but our guess is that he will be only slowly integrated.
• Cash was subbed off while playing for Poland. But his father confirmed that he should be okay- “Everything is fine with his health, “In the match against Finland, he had a minor problem with a muscle strain, which is why he had to come off at half-time.”

Bournemouth

Bournemouth GW4 Predicted formation

• 4-2-3-1

Bournemouth GW4 Predicted lineup:

Petrovic

Smith – Senesi – Diakite – Truffert

Adams – Scott

Tavernier – Brooks- Semenyo

Evanilson

Bournemouth Team News & Key Notes:

• Both Christie and Kluivert made their returns from injuries in GW2 and played 24 minutes and 12 minutes, respectively. They played 27 and 9 minutes again in GW3. Even though they may be fully fit to start games, Iraola might not tinker with the winning combination with all the attackers playing really well.

Brighton

Brighton GW4 Predicted formation

• 4-2-3-1

Brighton GW4 Predicted lineup:

Verbruggen 

Veltman – Van Hecke – Dunk – De Cuyper

Hinshelwood – Baleba

Minteh – D.Gomez – Mitoma

Rutter

Brighton Team News and Key Notes:

• Rutter missed GW2 due to an injury and also missed the following Carabao Cup game vs Oxford United. He made his comeback in GW3 as a substitute for Welbeck and played 30 minutes. He should be fit to start GW4.
• Weifer lost his place to Veltman in GW3.
• O’Riley has joined Marseille on loan, and Gomez should fit in there.
• Ayari/Gruda could play ahead of Hinshelwood/Gomez, especially Gruda, after getting the winning goal vs Manchester City. But it remains to be seen if Hurzeler trusts him to start regularly yet.

Burnley

Burnley GW4 Predicted formation

• 4-2-3-1

Burnley GW4 Predicted lineup:

Dubravka

Walker – Ekdal – Esteve – Hartman

Ugochukwu- Cullen

Bruun Larsen – Hannibal – Anthony

Foster

Burnley Team News and Key Notes:

• Ugocukwu has started back-to-back games and should hold on to his place.

Brentford

Brentford GW4 Predicted formation:

Brentford GW4 Predicted lineup:

Kelleher

Kayode – Collins – Van Den Berg – Lewis Potter

Yarmolyuk – Henderson

Dango – Damsgaard – Schade

Robert Sanchez

Gusto – Tosin – Chalobah – Cucurella

Caicedo – Enzo Fernandez

Estevao-Pedro- Neto

George

Chelsea Team News and Notes:

• Cole Palmer missed GW3 due to an injury, and it remains to be seen if he has recovered. Watch out for the Press Conference updates.
• Delap‘s hamstring injury in GW3 is a serious one and he will be a long-term absentee(Likely to be out for more than 8 weeks). Delap is expected to start training again in November and return to play soon after, ahead of the festive schedule.
• George could be his direct replacement. However, Chelsea could play Joao Pedro/Neto up top and play Gittens in the team.
• Tosin started GW2 and GW3 after missing GW1 due to a minor issue.
• Badiashille and Lavia are ruled out. Colwill is also out with a long-term injury
• Gusto vs James will be a 50/50 call.

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace Predicted Formation

• 3-4-2-1

Crystal Palace GW4 Predicted lineup:

Henderson

Guehi – Lacroix – Richards

Munoz – Hughes – Lerma- Mitchell  

Kamada- Pino

Mateta

Crystal Palace Notes/Injury Updates:

• Adam Wharton is expected to be out for three weeks with an adductor injury. Lerma should take his place in the middle.
• Ismaila Sarr has suffered a Grade 2 Hamstring tear according to Senegalese Football Federation. Grade 2 Tear usually means 4-8 weeks out. We are yet to receive an official update from Glasner/Palace though which we will know in the press conference.

• New signing Pino should replace the injured Sarr ideally but he also missed out on the Spain squad due to an injury. If he is also ruled out, Devenny should start in that place.

Everton

Everton GW4 Predicted Formation

• 4-3-3

Everton GW4 Predicted lineup

Pickford

O’Brien – Tarkowski – Keane- Mykolenko

Gueye – Garner

Ndiaye – Dewsbury Hall – Grealish

Beto

Everton Injury News/Updates:

• Jarrad Branthwaite, Adam Aznou, and Nathan Patterson are all still expected to be out.
• Beto vs Barry is always a 50/50 call but Beto should hold on to his place after getting on the scoresheet in GW3 vs Wolves.

Fulham

Fulham GW4 Predicted formation:

4-2-3-1

Fulham GW4 Predicted lineup:

Leno

Tete – Andersen – Bassey- Robinson 

Berge – Lukic

Harry Wilson– King- Iwobi

Muniz

Latest Updates:

• King(4.5 MID) played in the No.10 position ahead of Smith Rowe in the first 3 games. He has been really good and was also unlucky as his goal was ruled out vs Chelsea in a controversial call.
• Harry Wilson was a fitness concern for GW3, but he came on as a sub, so he should be good to start in GW4.
• Robinson is now fully fit and should start at LB

Leeds

Leeds GW4 Predicted formation

• 4-3-3

Leeds GW4 Predicted lineup:

Darlow

Bogle – Struijk – Rodon – Gudmundsson

Longstaff – Gruev- Stach

James – Nmecha – Gnonto

Leeds team news:

• Perri is rumored to have picked up an injury, Darlow/Meslier should start if he’s out
• Rodon was forced to withdraw from international duty with Wales due to an unspecified issue, but he should be fit to start.
• Ampadu was supposed to be ruled out till the international break. Watch out for the updates. Tanaka is also another injury concern that we should have more clarity on from Farke.
• Okafor is still a doubt as he was also not called up by the Switzerland National team for the break.
• Gudmundsson is flagged at the moment, but he played 90 minutes for Sweden during the break, so he should be okay.
• Nmecha started ahead of DCL and Piroe in GW3. DCL came on at 70 minutes for Nmecha, with Piroe an unused substitute.

Liverpool

Liverpool GW4 Predicted Formation:

4-3-3

Liverpool GW4 Predicted lineup:

Alisson

Frimpong- Konate – Van Dijk – Kerkez

Szoboszlai – Gravenberch

Salah – Wirtz – Gakpo

Ekitike

Liverpool Team News and Key Notes:

• Frimpong is back in training. Alexander Isak also had his first Liverpool training session but it is unlikely that he starts right away as he may not be match fit. Isak only played as a substitute for Sweeden during the break due to the lack of match fitness.

Manchester City

Man City GW4 Predicted formation

• 4-2-3-1

Man City GW4 Predicted lineup:

Trafford

Lewis – Dias – Stones – Ait Nouri 

Silva- Rodri – Reijnders

Bobb – Haaland – Doku

Man City Notes/Injury Update:

• Marmoush suffered an injury while playing for Egypt and is ruled out for the Manchester Derby in GW4. Further scans should reveal the extent of the injury.

• Donnarumma/Trafford will be a tricky call, but our guess is that Pep will stick with Trafford at least for now.
• Cherki is ruled out for 2 months with an injury. Foden is also expected to miss GW4.
• John Stones has left the England camp with a minor muscular injury. He has withdrawn as a precautionary measure. Khusanov also got injured vs Brighton and missed international duty. Gvardiol is already injured. Only Pep’s press conference should give us an idea of who will partner with Dias.
• Lewis/Nunes is a 50/50 call. Our guess is that Lewis will play this game.

Manchester United

Man United GW4 Predicted formation: 

• 3-4-2-1

Man United GW4 Predicted lineup:

Bayindir

Yorro – De Ligt – Shaw

Amad – Casimero – Bruno – Dorgu

Mbeumo – Mount

Cunha

Man United Notes/Injury Update:

• Cunha was injured against Burnley and was taken off after just 30 minutes. Wait for the latest updates. If he is ruled out, Zirkzee should start.
• Dalot started ahead of Dorgu in GW3, but we expect Dorgu to be back for the derby.

Newcastle United

• 4-3-3

Newcastle United Predicted lineup:

Pope 

Livramento – Schar – Burn – Hall

Bruno – Tonali – Ramsey

Elanga – Wissa – Barnes

Newcastle United Injury News/Notes:

• Anthony Gordon is suspended for 3 games after receiving a direct red card vs Liverpool in GW2. He will miss GW4 and GW5 as well.
• Joelinton was ruled out for GW3 but is hopeful for GW4 after the international break. Wait for more updates in the Press conference. If he is out, Ramsey should be in his place.
• Wissa managed 2 goals and 1 assist for DR Congo during this international break. He played 134 minutes across two games, so he is match fit and should start.
• Woltemade made his first training session with Newcastle, but is very likely to only come off the bench for his debut.
• Newcastle opted for a surprising five at the back vs Leeds in GW3, and also both Barnes and Elanga were benched. It did not work out well, and the game ended 0-0. They should return to four at the back.

Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest GW4 Predicted formation: 

• 4-2-3-1

Nottingham Forest GW4 Predicted lineup:

Sels

Savona – Milenkovic – Murilo – Williams

Luiz – Anderson

Wood

Forest team news:

• In a dramatic week for Forest, Ange has replaced Nuno as their manager.
• Ola Aina was substituted 10 minutes into Nigeria’s World Cup Qualifier against South Africa with a suspected hamstring injury. Zinchenko is also ineligible to play vs Arsenal. Savona/Morato will fill in if Aina is ruled out.
• New signing Douglas Luiz could replace Sangare in the starting 11 if he is fully fit.
• Mcatee will be pushing for a start ahead of Ndoye. Bakwa should also get minutes off the bench.
• Nicolas Dominguez ruled out until autumn after summer knee surgery.

Roefs

Hume – Alderete – Mukiele – Reinildo

Spurs Predicted lineup:

Vicario

Porro –Van der Ven – Romero – Spence

Bentanur – Palhinha

• Udogie is back in training, but it is unlikely that he will start games right away.
• Bissouma and Dragusin are still out.

Walker Peters- Mavropanos – Kilman – Diouf
