With Fantasy Premier League managers facing several difficult decisions on who to buy, keep or sell ahead of the Gameweek 4 deadline on Saturday 14 September at 11:00 BST, some of the world's top Fantasy managers offer their advice.
Bukayo Saka (Arsenal) £10.1m
Holly Shand (@HollyShand): Saka has started the season in fine form, with attacking returns in every game, producing 10 shots and eight key passes. However, he's not keeping pace with the big premiums Mohamed Salah (£12.6m) and Erling Haaland (£15.2m), and given a couple of tough upcoming fixtures for Arsenal, at Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City, you can sell him for the next two weeks and then jump back on.
Verdict: Sell
Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa) £8.9m
Nick Harris (@WGTA_Nick): Watkins remains just a hold for me. He's had a really disappointing start and owners may be looking enviously at budget picks like Joao Pedro (£5.7m) to free up some more cash to make upgrades elsewhere. But with Everton, Wolverhampton Wanderers and Ipswich Town up next, who have shipped a combined 26 goals already this season, attacking returns should be on the way for Watkins.
Verdict: Keep
Nicolas Jackson (Chelsea) £7.6m
Utkarsh Dalmia (@ZopharFPL): With Chelsea not bringing in a striker during the transfer window, and after signing a new contract, Jackson should continue as the Blues' centre-forward. He had the highest Expected Goal Involvement (xGI) in the Chelsea side against Crystal Palace and could be a great differential option, owned by only 5.9 per cent of managers. He's a buy for me.
Verdict: Buy

Bruno Fernandes (Man Utd) £8.4m
Gianni Buttice (@GianniButtice): Fernandes owners will be frustrated by his underperformance of his Expected Goals (xG) data, but will be encouraged by his Gameweek 4 fixture, at promoted Southampton. For that reason, he's a hold this week, but the Manchester United midfielder should be sold if he blanks again.
Verdict: Keep
Bryan Mbeumo (Brentford) £7.1m
Pras (@Pras_FPL): Despite the big haul in Gameweek 3, Mbeumo faces Man City away in Gameweek 4, and that is never easy. Therefore, it's OK to wait to buy him until Gameweek 6, when Brentford's fixtures turn favourably. Having said this, if you have already brought him in, he is still playable in any fixture. Mbeumo will be in every FPL team very soon!
Verdict: Buy in GW6
Diogo Jota (Liverpool) £7.6m
Sam Bonfield (@FPLFamily): Jota was the Liverpool player I went for at the start of the season because the budget meant getting Salah was difficult. After Gameweek 1, I thought he was going to be a good pick after his goal and near brace. In terms of underlying numbers, Jota has had eight attempts on goal so far, the same as Luis Diaz (£7.6m), and he has also created two chances.
Obviously, if you can afford Salah, then sell Jota and get the Egyptian. If you are looking to buy, then maybe form suggests Diaz is the better pick of the two right now. But if you are own Jota, he's a hold, with two great fixtures coming up at home to Nottingham Forest and AFC Bournemouth.
Verdict: Keep
Anthony Gordon (Newcastle) £7.4m
Pranil Sheth (@lateriser12): I currently own Gordon and plan to hold him for the next couple of weeks before Wildcarding. I will definitely give him the Wolves match in Gameweek 4, given they have struggled defensively. The addition of Sandro Tonali (£5.5m) to Newcastle United's midfield should also help improve the Magpies' attack.
Verdict: Keep
Josko Gvardiol (Man City) £6.0m
Lee Bonfield (@FPLFamily): Given that Rico Lewis (£4.6m) seems to be the Man City defender inverting and joining the attack, Gvardiol is a sell, particularly if you need the funds - and defender spot - to get to Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.0m) for those plum home fixtures.
Verdict: Sell
Daniel Munoz (Crystal Palace) £5.0m
Utkarsh Dalmia (@ZopharFPL): Palace have conceded five goals over the opening three Gameweeks, so I can understand why FPL managers are losing patience with Munoz. But their next two matches are at home to Leicester City and Man Utd, where the Eagles have traditionally been much stronger, while Munoz is given a bit more licence to get forward at Selhurst Park. I would hold him for at least two more Gameweeks and hope he can find the back of the net.
Verdict: Keep
