Defender: Maxence Lacroix vs Hull City (H) - 5.6 predicted points

Chelsea are among the clean sheet favourites in Gameweek 4 ahead of the visit of the promoted Hull City, with goalkeeper Emi Martinez (£5.0m) and 8.2% owned defender Maxence Lacroix (£6.0m) among the defensive reinforcements for this campaign. 

Lacroix has three goal involvements in each of his campaigns in the Premier League and grabbed an assist in the 3-2 win against Fulham in Gameweek 1. He’s also averaging over ten defensive contributions per game, earning the two point bonus on two occasions.

Liverpool have one of the most exciting attacking fixtures of the weekend when they take on Fulham at Anfield on Saturday afternoon. They are unbeaten so far this season, scoring six goals across their opening three gameweeks.

Cody Gakpo (£7.2m) has over 500,000 new owners ahead of Gameweek 4, taking his ownership up to 14.1% of teams. He has one goal and three assists, combining with striker Alexander Isak on three occasions in his last two games alone. 

Best Forward: Igor Thiago vs Bournemouth (A) - 4.5 predicted points

Brentford are another side who have begun the season in unbeaten form, following up their 3-0 win against Spurs in Gameweek 1 with draws against Leeds United and Sunderland. It’s a trip to Bournemouth up next, who are without a clean sheet, conceding five goals.

Igor Thiago (£7.9m) sees his ownership drop following three successive blanks; he’s now in 12.1% of sides and has frustrated his owners, including failing to convert from the penalty spot against Spurs. He has underperformed, with four big chances on goal. He is due.
