Gameweek 4 Player Tips

We'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.

Finding the right players in Fantasy Premier League - Player Tips - Defenders

Let's look at some defenders that will be a nice addition to your Fantasy Premier League team. While goalkeepers prices differ only little, the prices of defenders vary a little more. At the time of the writing the most expensive defender is ManU's Nemanja Vidic with 8M, even being injured at the time over 20% teams have selected Vidic. Usually you can get good defenders from winning teams for 5-6M. I have chosen 3 defenders from different price groups.

8M Nemanja Vidic ManU
Even though still little injured when this man returns he is defender to have in your team. One of the best defenders in the world in a well defending team with the ability to score goals, priceless.

6.5M Kolo Toure Manchester City
Manchester City's number one defender will be playing a lot of minutes and with my high hopes for the whole team, he'll be sure collect a lot points. A valid player for any fantasy premier league team.

4.5M Maynor Figueroa Wigan
Wigan played a nice last season, and while not conceding a whole lot of goals, the teams whole defense group is a good choice. I chose Figueroa because he's a sure starting formation player.
