Injuries
Anthony Martial has been ruled out of Gamweek 4 following the injury he sustained against Crystal Palace. Hopefully he will be back right after the International Break.
No old boys reunion for Luke Shaw (hamstring) in the early kick-off on Saturday while joint top scorer – Anthony Martial – is also ruled out of the PL encounter at Southampton. #MUFC

Martial
With Martial out, FPL Prince suggests a trio of replacements for the Gameweek 4 tips. Mount will be the popular choice but a downgrade down to Todd Cantwell could be an intriguing differential.
Top 3 Martial replacements:
Premium – KDB (£9.7M) ?
? 4 Assists
? Highest Key passes
? Brighton and Norwich nextMid – Mount (£6.2M) ?
? 12 Shots this season
? On set-pieces
? 2 GoalsCheap – Cantwell (£4.7M) ?

?2 Assists

Defence
Clean sheets have been hard to come by in the last couple of weeks. Eric Freeman has produced some interesting points in this informative Twitter thread.

Watchlist
FPL Dan has a new article over on his blog on the players you should buy, watch and avoid for the Gameweek 4 tips. Patience wearing thin on some of these assets could spark transfers.
?✍?
A sort of #FPL ‘snog, marry, avoid’ for GW4.
Thoughts welcome as always! ?https://t.co/Sso8x4ilWU

Hammers
Let’s Talk FPL’s Andy has a controversial differential captain to consider for the Gameweek 4 tips. It’s the Hammers defence that’s prompted the move for Pukki.
West Ham are worst for shots conceded so far. But it's all Man City I can hear everyone shout at me
vs Man City – 10 SIB conceded
vs Brighton – 12 SIB conceded
vs Watford – 19 SIB conceddLatter 2 were away though…
Perhaps they're just rubbish?

Statistics
With statistics taking centre stage in the community this week, Wee Rogue attempts to set out the ones which are of most beneficial to fantasy managers. It’s an interesting read.
Using Player-Level Stats to Predict Goals – a {THREAD}
As #FPL managers, we are interested in predicting which players are going to score goals.
Whilst the particular stats we choose to use are largely a matter of taste, this thread explores which are the most predictive.1/n

Creativity
On the topic of statistics, FPL Swot studies the chances created statistics at the start of the season. Kevin De Bruyne leads the way, but Norwich assets join Trent Alexander-Arnold in defence.

Thread
The FPL Physio has put together a thread of players to bring in for Anthony Martial in the Gameweek 4 tips. Luke Shaw is also set to miss out over the next few weeks.
? #FPL THREAD: Looks like Martial is out of GW4… ?
I’ll be moving on as I’m on Wildcard and I’m sure many are looking elsewhere. ??
Here’s who I’ve considered to replace him. ?? pic.twitter.com/DuFfJR90Gp

Sleepers
FPL Blinder has a useful tweet on some of the players who may be going under the radar. Should we keep faith in Deulofeu? Can Trossard perform in that tricky away trip to Manchester City?

Shots ➡️ Deulofeu 7
Key passes ➡️ Trossard 7
Final 3rd passes ➡️ Winks 61
Crosses ➡️ TAA & Holebas 13
Tackles ➡️ Emerson 7
