fantasy premier league best forwards GW4 – player rankings
This is our 3rd player rankings article. You can see defenders and GK rankings and midfielders using these links
A shorter version again this week with just the table and only a few words and no individual fixtures due to time pressure.
Methodology
I’ve started with a selection of forwards that I think will start GW4 and have some longevity in the team.
I’ve then taken their expected goals and assist information from 17/18 and converted it into projected points through adjustments for minutes played bonus and fixtures. There’s also adjustments for any specific relevant 18/19 factors. For fixtures I’ve taken a slightly longer view than previously of 6 games.
Whether you believe the rankings or not there’s plenty of information to make your own decision
We are obviously only 3 gameweeks in so it’s inevitable that the large basis of information is based on last seasons stats
Stats definitions
Pts per 90: the FPL points earned per 90 minutes played in 17/18
Fixture ease ranking so you can see who has the best fixtures from GW4-9 and GW4-6. See our fixture ease article
Underlying stats ranking is from our end of season underlying stats article where projected goals are turned into raw points. It’s their rank in relation to each other not for every midfielder. Info from the excellent free site understat.com article
VFM rank. I have divided their projected points by their price to get a rough value for money assessment
ATGS GW4 – 1 bookies anytime goalscoring odds for the player. It assumes they start and doesn’t include assist potential
The schedule
Just a couple of players to mention. Ings is an injury doubt. Morata is low as he’s just performing at a level that a CB would be ashamed of and has Giroud breathing down his neck. If he performed at last years stats he’d be far far higher.
Mitrovic is quite low comparative to his performance. At the moment he’s performing at an Aguero type level. He will level off it’s just hard to fix what that level is.
