Fantasy managers evaluate Chelsea attackers for FPL gameweek four
Summary

Fantasy Premier League managers face key selection decisions ahead of gameweek four, with heavy focus on Chelsea’s attacking rotation. Midfielder Cole Palmer and striker Joao Pedro remain popular targets after strong recent performances, including Palmer’s recent two-goal display in the Carabao Cup. While triple-ups on Chelsea assets are under consideration, experts suggest such a strategy requires consistent goal scoring to remain effective. Meanwhile, Liverpool's Cody Gakpo is a fitness concern following his absence from the recent Champions League squad, while Alexander Isak remains a high-scoring alternative for forward lines. Elsewhere, managers are advised to maintain long-term holds on Manchester United’s Bruno Fernandes and Bryan Mbeumo despite impending fixtures. Arsenal’s defensive unit also emerges as a target for wildcard selections due to early-season clean sheets.
