Fantasy Premier League: Gameweek four transfer tips, advice and who to pick

Goalkeepers: Crystal Palace keeper Vicente Guaita is worth a look

Defensive players plying their trade for bottom-half sides are typically best avoided but fantasy football enthusiasts may want to make an exception for Vicente Guaita.

The Spaniard has racked up nine points this term and looks to have the first-choice goalkeeper spot nailed on for the Eagles.

While the fact less than one per cent of users picking him suggests he's not the first name that springs to mind, he is worth a look in a Palace side who play conservative and disciplined football under Roy Hodgson.

They kept a clean sheet in their only home match of the campaign and have matches against promoted sides Aston Villa and Norwich in the coming weeks.

Defenders: Leicester City wing-back Ricardo Pereira could be a valuable addition

Leicester City are one of four teams yet to lose in the Premier League this campaign and they have kept it tight in all three of their assignments against Wolves, Chelsea and Sheffield United.

They have conceded only two goals and one to keep an eye on in the coming weeks is wing-back Ricardo Pereira.

The Portuguese right-back has accumulated 13 points this term but has made more tackles (17) than any other player in the division and is a threat with crosses down the flank.

The Foxes play at home against Bournemouth, Tottenham and Newcastle within their next four matches and Pereira could be value at £6 million if he starts racking up clean sheets and assists.

Midfielders: Whirlwind wingers continue to impress for Canaries

A mystifying element of fantasy football is how many stellar forwards are deemed midfielders and Todd Cantwell and Emiliano Buendia are the latest to fall into that category.

Cantwell looks a steal at only £4.7m as he is often deployed on the left of a 4-2-3-1 formation, which can easily evolve to 4-3-3, and is one of the main suppliers for goal machine Teemu Pukki.

Buendia is, likewise, a threat on the right and the two have each laid on two assists this term while Cantwell got on the scoresheet against Chelsea last time out.

Players should steer clear of Norwich defenders but their midfielders and forwards can often be cheap but effective.

After scoring against Liverpool and Chelsea, the Canaries should continue to fire on all cylinders with West Ham (a), Burnley (a), Crystal Palace (a) and Aston Villa (h) on the horizon.

Forwards: Sebastien Haller able to hit red-hot form

Sebastien Haller got off the mark in emphatic fashion for West Ham, netting a brace to help them record their first league win of the season against Watford.

The Frenchman found the net 15 times in the Bundesliga last season and it is surprising to see only 3.9 per cent of Fantasy Premier League players having selected him after gameweek three.

At £7.4m he is excellent value and is worth slotting into the starting 11 as West Ham prepare to face Norwich, who have shipped more goals than any other Premier League side, this weekend before games with Aston Villa (a), Man Utd (h), Bournemouth (a) and Crystal Palace (h).
