Fantasy Premier League Soccer - Gameweek 4 review

LIVERPOOL V ATHLETICO MADRIDAfter the fourth gameweek there are still 3 teams that continue with a nice looking table, only wins. Chelsea, Tottenham and Man City are yet to experience the bitter taste of defeat as Bolton and Portsmouth still wait for their first taste of victory. Chelsea took the most convincing win of the week, as it beat Burnley 3-0. Burnley's great efforts came to an end as the Blues continued their winning streak with goals from Anelka, Cole and Ballack.

This gameweek offered 7 players that were able to collect over 10 points. 3 were defenders, 3 midfielders and one forward. But let's start with this weeks number one goalkeeper, or I should say goalkeepers, as both Green from West Ham and Sorensen from Stoke both collected 7 points. Sorensen is also the number one goalkeeper in the whole league with 26 points.

Defenders elite came from Chelsea, Everton and Wolves. Cole ended up with 14 points from clean sheet, one scored goal and 2 bonus points. Everton's Baines took home 12 points and Wolverhamptons Stearman 11. Both scored one goal and Baines even managed to assist one also.

Chelsea took the top spot also in midfielders as Ballack collected 11 points and Lampard 10. Lampard's 2 assists may be just what Frankie needs to rise to the level he was in last season. Tottenham's Lennon was the third 10-points man this gameweek. Lennon also climbed to the top of the midfielderss list looking the whole season with 27 points.

And last but not least. Only forward to go above the 10 point mark was Liverpool striker Torres. Goal and an assist together with 3 bonus points took Torres to 12 points. It seems 11.5M isn't all too much asked for him if he continues to play according to form he seems to be in.

Player of the gameweek: Fernando Torres, Liverpool

Which players to have in your Fantasy Premier League Team - Forwards

Football - Liverpool v Tottenham Hotspur Barclays Premier League

Buying forwards for your team might be the toughest job when creating your Fantasy Premier League team. While usually quite expensive, most of the time forwards will only get very little points. However with forwards it's very important to keep the player for a few gameweeks, changing forwards every gameweek will surely lead to situations where the player you had last gameweek scores 2 goals... I've been there, that sucks.

Again, you know the drill, 3 forwards from different price categories to have in your Fantasy Premier League team.

11.5M Fernando Torres, Liverpool
Torres is going to be very popular player, and for good reason. 14 goals last season while not even playing all games is an amazing complishment. This season Torres is probably going to do ever better so, if you can afford him, you should include Torres in your Fantasy Premier League Team.

8.5M Carlos Tevez, Manchester City
Transferred from ManU, Tevez should be getting a little more playtime in City, even with stars like Adebayour and Robinho in the same team. With this price tag, Tevez is most advantegous of the trio.

7M Carlton Cole, West Ham
Cole scored impressing 10 goals last season and is a good buy for 7M.
