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

Gameweek 4 Player Tips

BARNSLEY V MANCHESTER CITYWe're heading towards the 4th gameweek of the Fantasy Premier League soccer manager game. Again, there are soccer matches that look easier to some teams than others. So, time to see who you want on your team this gameweek.

Here are the fixtures:

Chelsea v Burnley
Blackburn v West Ham
Bolton v Liverpool
Stoke City v Sunderland
Tottenham v Birmingham
Wolves v Hull City
Man Utd v Arsenal
Portsmouth v Man City
Everton v Wigan
Aston Villa v Fulham

West Ham goes to visit Blackburn and I think they won't be too modest guests. Forward Carlton Cole is in great form, and is the most probable scorer in the game.
Chelsea is the hometeam against biggest surprise of the season, Burnley. Chelsea starts a clear favourite, and with forward Drogba in very good shape is bound to show the newcomers what it's like to play against one of the best English Premier League teams.

Manchester City has opened the season nicely, and will continue it's winning streak against Portsmouth. Hot tips for this game, forward Adebayor and midfielder Wright-Phillips.

And don't forget Tottenham's midfielder Aaron Lennon and forward Jermain Defoe. Both in very good form and very able to score goals.

Defender-wise, clean sheet is very close for Manchester City. So Dunne, Toure, Richards and Bridge are great names to have in your opening squad. Also Stoke has opened the season with promising results and maybe very tough to beat at their homefield. Goalkeeper Sorensen has been playing well and is going to get good points again.
