Gameweek 4 Transfers Revealed: Rogers Essential, Fernandes Flopped & A Differential You're Missing

Welcome back, FPL managers! Today is deadline day for Gameweek 4 - and we've got everything you need to make the right calls before that 12:30 cutoff. Rogers is flying, Fernandes is flopping, and there's a massively under-owned differential you need to know about. Let's get into it.

Before we get into transfers, here's the essential news you need heading into today's deadline.

The standout transfer of the week. Rogers is in the form of his life right now - four assists in midweek Champions League action followed by a goal in GW3 make him unmissable. He currently sits at 30.8% ownership, rising fast with 679,000 transfers in this week alone.

Chelsea host Hull City in GW4 with a fixture difficulty rating of just 2 at home - as good as it gets. His creative output right now is at a completely different level to anyone else in his price range.

One of the best value picks in the game right now. Scott scored 10 points in GW3 with two assists and two bonus points, and already has three goal involvements this season at just £6.1m. His form rating sits at 8.0 - exceptional for a player at this price point.

At only 5.1% ownership, he's one of the most under-owned quality players in FPL right now. Bournemouth host Brentford in GW4 with a difficulty rating of 3 at home.

Scott also doubles as one of the best differential captain options this week given his recent output. If you want to go against the Rogers grain, Scott is your man.

Arsenal look like genuine title contenders and Ødegaard is right at the heart of it. He delivered 10 points in GW3 with a goal and three bonus points, and at just 15.8% ownership, nearly 500,000 managers are making this move right now.

Two clean sheets and two goals already this season. GW4 sees Arsenal travel to Sunderland with a difficulty rating of 4 - not the easiest on paper - but look beyond that. Arsenal's GW5 and GW6 fixtures against Brighton and Leeds are very tasty.

For a player of his quality at £6.7m, with Arsenal in this kind of form, this price looks like a bargain. If you're comparing midfield value options, our bargain players tool can help you find the best picks for your budget.

The most sold player in the game this week, and it's not hard to see why. Fernandes scored just 2 points in GW3 despite his enormous £12m price tag, and nearly 440,000 managers are already jumping ship.

GW4 brings the Manchester derby - Man Utd travel to Man City away, a difficulty rating of 4. That's a brutal fixture for any United asset. At 44.7% ownership, the differential advantage of holding him is essentially zero, while the risk is sky-high.

Two assists this season shows the quality is there, but Sangaré only played 45 minutes in GW3 - a major rotation red flag. Over 219,000 managers have already moved him on this week.

At £5.7m, if he's not getting regular 90-minute starts, you simply can't justify the spot in your squad. Brentford travel to Bournemouth in GW4 with a difficulty rating of 3, and the rotation risk is too real to ignore at a Saturday deadline.

A low-ownership pick (just 1%) but if you're one of the managers who took a punt, the news is not good. Hinshelwood is marked as doubtful with a 50% chance of playing and recorded zero minutes in GW3. His expected points drop significantly as a result of the injury concern.

With a Saturday deadline, you simply cannot afford to wait on fitness updates. The risk is not worth taking.

Looking to get an edge on your mini-league rivals? These under-the-radar picks could be the difference between a green arrow and a red one this week.

Already covered above as a transfer-in recommendation, but worth repeating as a differential. At 5.1% ownership with double-digit haul potential, Scott is arguably the best differential in the game right now. Two assists and two bonus in GW3, three goal involvements on the season. The form is real.

Elanga has two goals already this season and is attracting serious attention - over 233,000 managers are bringing him in this week. Newcastle face Leeds away on Monday night in GW4, and Leeds have been inconsistent defensively. At £6.1m, the value is genuine.

A budget differential for those tight on funds. Stach has 19 total points this season and a form rating of 6.3. Leeds host Newcastle on Monday night in GW4. He is being transferred out this week, so this one is only worth considering if you're genuinely budget-constrained and need a cheap midfield filler - but the home fixture against Newcastle does give him some appeal.

This one isn't complicated.

The Manchester derby lands in GW4 - Man City vs Man Utd - and it's a fixture that can burn FPL managers who double-up on both clubs. The unpredictability of a derby, combined with both teams carrying big price tags (Fernandes at £12m, Haaland at large), means the risk-reward doesn't stack up this week.

Chelsea and Arsenal assets look far safer bets for GW4. Put your money where the fixtures are kind, not where the names are big.
